Sans état d'âme pour punir Lionel Messi et son Inter Miami dimanche (4-0), le PSG se projette désormais vers un choc contre le Bayern Munich samedi à Atlanta (18h) en quarts de finale du Mondial des clubs. L'écart de niveau entre ce Paris champion d'Europe et Miami était immense. Sous le toit et la climatisation du stade Mercedes-Benz, le PSG a "étouffé dès le début" l'équipe de Messi, dixit l'entraîneur parisien Luis Enrique. Pressing plus marqué, dribbles plus inspirés et passes plus justes que lors des matches contre Botafogo (défaite 1-0) et contre Seattle (victoire 2-0) : les Parisiens ont été appliqués pour annihiler les espoirs de Miami, malgré une majorité de maillots roses parmi les 65.000 spectateurs.Distribué par Audiomeans.

Die deutsche Automobilbranche setzt ein Ausrufezeichen in Sachen SDV: Elf OEMs und Zulieferer – darunter Mercedes-Benz, BMW, VW, Bosch und Continental – haben auf dem Automobil-Elektronik Kongress in Ludwigsburg eine Absichtserklärung unterzeichnet, um gemeinsam eine offene Software-Basis für Fahrzeuge zu entwickeln. Ziel ist ein modularer, erweiterbarer Core Stack, der bis 2026 stehen und essenzielle Funktionen aus Middleware und Betriebssystem abdecken soll. Koordiniert vom VDA und umgesetzt in der S-Core-Gruppe der Eclipse Foundation, verspricht die Open-Source-Initiative schnellere Entwicklung, geringere Kosten und bessere Interoperabilität. Doch kommt dieser Schritt nicht zu spät? Und wie groß ist das Risiko der Fragmentierung trotz gemeinsamer Basis? Pascal und Yannick diskutieren technologische Chancen, strategische Hebel und die branchenpolitische Dimension – vor allem mit Blick auf die Konkurrenz aus China und den USA.

In the aftermath of the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities, we welcome back Theodore Postol, Professor of Science, Technology and National Security Policy Emeritus at MIT to give his expert technical assessment on where that assault leaves the Iranian nuclear program. Then, Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, gives us his analysis of the political side of the issue.Theodore Postol is Professor of Science, Technology and National Security Policy Emeritus in the Program in Science, Technology, and Society at MIT. His expertise is in nuclear weapon systems, including submarine warfare, applications of nuclear weapons, ballistic missile defense, and ballistic missiles more generally.No one at that point after the attack could have known whether or not there was success of any kind, even if there was success. And I doubt there was any success.Theodore PostolThe Israelis have done everything in their power to create an internal argument among the political leadership in Iran to proceed to build a nuclear weapon so that this kind of thing won't happen again. So the Israeli grand strategy, if you want to call it that, shows no intelligence or thought of any kind.Theodore PostolTrita Parsi is the executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and the co-founder and former President of the National Iranian American Council. He is an expert on US-Iranian relations, Iranian foreign policy, and the geopolitics of the Middle East. He has authored three books on US foreign policy in the Middle East, with a particular focus on Iran and Israel— Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Iran, Israel and the United States, A Single Roll of the Dice – Obama's Diplomacy with Iran, and Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran and the Triumph of Diplomacy.Israel is not enhancing American power in the Middle East. Israel is consuming it.Trita Parsi, Executive VP of the Quincy Institute for Responsible StatecraftIf the (Iranian regime) were to collapse it would most likely be because there would be an internal coup. And the next regime would be coming from the very same regime. It would just be a much more aggressive and hardline.Trita Parsi20 Worst Recent Trump Headlines1.

Now he's making it easier to fire federal workers (Andrea Hsu, NPR, 6/23/25)News 6/27/251. After a brutal initial barrage by the United States, followed by tit-for-tat exchanges between Israel and Iran, the U.S. is seeking to broker a ceasefire between the two states. On Truth Social, Trump posted “ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly ‘Plane Wave' to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect!” Just hours after this however, Israel did in fact bomb targets in Tehran, per Reuters. Israel also claims to have intercepted missiles fired from Iran following the ceasefire agreement. In the wake of the initial attacks, journalist Séamus Malekafzali reported that the “Iranian communist party Tudeh and the Communist Party of Israel [Hadash] release[d] a joint statement condemning the Israeli war on Iran, saying Israel's intent is to make the region ‘bow down to [US] imperialism' and that the only solution is full nuclear disarmament in the Middle East.” Israel's nuclear capabilities are an open secret in Washington, with estimates that the country possess between 90 and 400 nuclear warheads.2. In Congress, Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia has put forth a War Powers resolution in an attempt to check Trump's unilateral escalation in Iran. According to Newsweek, he expects to get Republican votes in the Senate. In the House, the effort is led by Reps. Ro Khanna and maverick Republican Thomas Massie, whom Trump has become so enraged with that he recently launched a PAC to oust him from his seat, per Axios. Meanwhile, AOC issued a statement reading, “The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.” Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, asked about AOC's impeachment comments, replied “No, no, that's a big threshold to cross,” per David Weigel.3. The escalation in Iran has exposed fissures in Trump's orbit. PBS reports major MAGA figures like Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor-Greene are openly opposed, while Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has reportedly drawn Trump's ire for a string of comments out of step with the administration's messaging, starting with a video earlier this month in which she accused “political elites and warmongers [of] carelessly fomenting fear and tension between nuclear powers,” per the Independent. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been iced out completely, according to the Washington Post.4. In more news concerning the administration, the Project on Government Oversight (POGO) has published a new report, finding that “Stephen Miller…Trump's powerful deputy chief of staff and homeland security advisor…has a personal financial stake…[of] up to a quarter million dollars of stock in Palantir.” POGO describes Palantir, the shadowy tech company founded by rightwing tech oligarch Peter Thiel, as “woven into the operations of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and used by other federal agencies such as the Pentagon.” POGO and other experts see this as a glaring potential conflict of interest. In an almost darkly comedic twist, “Democratic lawmakers have recently sought information from Palantir, [but] they are in the minority and cannot compel the company to produce records. A person who could is Representative James Comer (R-KY), the chairman of the [House] oversight committee...However, Comer bought…Palantir stock the day after Trump's inauguration…his only stock trade that day.” Palantir is the second-best-performing S&P 500 stock in 2025, with shares up 74% year-to-date, per Business Insider.5. In a rare case of corruption actually being prosecuted, the New York Times reports former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez reported for his eleven-year prison sentence on June 17th. “After a nine-week trial in Manhattan, Mr. Menendez…became the only U.S. senator ever to be convicted of acting as an agent of a foreign government,” after taking part in a “yearslong bribery conspiracy” that included payoffs in the form of “kilo bars of gold, a Mercedes-Benz convertible and more than $480,000 in cash.” Menendez is now incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institution, Schuylkill, a medium-security federal prison in Minersville, Pennsylvania. He has been assigned the prisoner number 67277-050.6. In other news, POLITICO reports, “FICO plans to launch a suite of credit scores later this year that incorporate [Buy Now Pay Later or BNPL] data, providing lenders a window into…consumers' repayment behavior on these increasingly popular installment loans.” As BNPL data has not been included in credit reporting before, this has become known as “phantom debt…a gigantic black box…[and] largely unregulated.” This story notes that the Trump administration CFPB has “dropped planned enforcement of a Biden administration rule that would have treated BNPL providers like credit card companies,” subjecting this industry to daylight and financial regulation. The administration's abandonment of this rule mirrors their declassification of cryptocurrency as securities in order to skirt SEC oversight. Many questions remain over how exactly BNPL data will factor into consumers' credit scores, but many are bracing for this data to reveal a growing chasm of consumer debt underpinning the already shaky economic picture.7. Meanwhile Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University student and activist abducted by ICE on the eve of his son's birth – despite being a legal permanent resident – has finally been freed. Khalil was held in federal immigration detention in Louisiana for 104 days, per AP. Following his release, Khalil said “Justice prevailed, but it's very long overdue.” Khalil's legal battle will continue. Khalil stated in an interview with NPR, “My release is just the first step. The legal fight is still very, very long. The administration appealed the decision about my release, but we will prove our case – that what happened…was textbook retaliation against the First Amendment, that I was targeted because of speech the government did not like, and that there was nothing wrong with the speech I was engaged in. I want to make sure that everyone who contributed to my arrest will be held accountable.”8. Backlash to Trump's immigration policies is not confined to the political and legal realms either. Newsweek reports that the new Pope, Leo XIV, has “called for priests, deacons and parish leaders to accompany migrants to court and stand in solidarity with them.” This is an encouraging sign for those who hoped Leo would follow in the footsteps of Pope Francis. It also puts the new Pope at odds with more conservative American Catholics, such as Vice-President JD Vance who converted in adulthood. In May, Leo's brother John Prevost told New York Times that the new Pope, “has great, great desire to help the downtrodden and the disenfranchised, the people who are ignored.”9. In another immigration flashpoint, “A gang of masked federal agents swarmed, manhandled, and detained New York City Comptroller Brad Lander…as he sought to assist a defendant out of immigration court,” according to the American Prospect. The Prospect notes this arrest is “the latest instance of political violence against opposition party members, which has included the arrests of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver…the arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan…and the brief detention of Sen. Alex Padilla.” Lander was released several hours after he was detained, when New York Governor Kathy Hochul showed up in person to demand his release. She called his arrest “b******t.” Later, in an interview with Joe Gallina, Lander said, “Courts tell undocumented immigrants their cases are ‘dismissed.' But what they really dismiss… is their asylum status. Then ICE grabs them. No lawyer. No warning.”10. Finally, 33-year-old democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani trounced disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday, winning by a completely unforeseen seven-point landslide. Polls up to election day showed Cuomo winning, some by as much as 24 points. Mamdani, a state legislator since 2021, ran on a platform of affordability, including making city buses free, establishing city-owned grocery stores and freezing the rent for all stabilized tenants. This platform – paired with cogent messaging, an extraordinary grassroots organizing campaign and shrewd alliances with other progressive candidates like Brad Lander – won the day for Zohran. However, an air of uncertainty about November remains. Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams still plans to run for reelection as an independent and Cuomo hasn't ruled out doing the same, per the Hill. While many who endorsed or donated to Cuomo in the primary – some now openly admitting they merely did so out of fear of reprisal – have switched their allegiance to Mamdani, some are maintaining a hostile posture towards the presumptive Democratic nominee. There is no doubt this story will proceed in dramatic fashion.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Moçambique assinala neste 25 de Junho de 2025, os 50 anos da sua independência. Por esta ocasião, a RFI propõe-vos um percurso pela história do país e a sua luta pela liberdade. No décimo primeiro episódio desta digressão, evocamos as circunstâncias do surgimento da Renamo. A obtenção da independência não significou a paz para Moçambique. Para além de países segregacionistas como a África do Sul e a antiga Rodésia verem com maus olhos as instauração de um sistema político socialista em Moçambique, no interior do país, várias vozes se insurgiram contra o caminho que estava a ser tomado pelo país, designadamente no que tange ao monopartidarismo. Foi neste contexto que surgiu em 1975, a Resistência Nacional de Moçambique, Renamo, um movimento inicialmente dirigido por um dissidente da Frelimo, André Matsangaíssa. Após a morte deste último em 1979, já durante a guerra civil, Afonso Dhlakama passa a liderar a resistência. António Muchanga, militante e antigo deputado da Renamo evoca o nascimento deste movimento.   "A Renamo nasce da revolta do povo moçambicano quando viu que as suas aspirações estavam adiadas. Como sabem, a Frelimo é o resultado da fusão de três movimentos. (…) Segundo os historiadores independentes, não esses que feitos com sistema, o objectivo era que depois da frente voltariam a definir o que é que queriam. Só que durante a luta armada de libertação nacional, começou o abate de prováveis pessoas que poderiam ameaçar o regime", conta o antigo deputado de oposição referindo-se nomeadamente a dissidentes como Uria Simango. "Depois, tivemos a situação das nacionalizações. Quando a Frelimo chega, logo em 1976, começa com as nacionalizações. Primeiro disse que era para lhes dar andamento, mas foi tirando casas às pessoas. O Eusébio perdeu a sua casa, apesar de terem vindo já dar mais uma outra casa. O próprio pai do Presidente Chissano tinha perdido cinco casas. Foi muita coisa feita. E há pessoas que não concordaram muito. Também não podiam chamar a atenção porque eram perseguidos, eram presos, eram assassinados. Naquele tempo era pecado ter um carro de marca Peugeot. Era pecado ter um carro de marca Volvo, para não falar de Mercedes Benz, porque essas marcas eram marcas do Estado. Quem devia ter eram os dirigentes. Então isto criou problemas. Jovens como Afonso Dhlakama sentiram-se obrigados a abandonar a Frelimo e foram criar a Resistência Nacional Moçambicana", diz António Muchanga. Edgar Silva, antigo deputado e guerrilheiro da Renamo, recorda também que na altura da fundação do partido, Moçambique estava a atravessar grandes dificuldades económicas, devido ao embargo então em vigor com os países que eram os vizinhos imediatos de Moçambique. "Ficamos fechados e o país mergulhou numa pobreza tal. Não tínhamos nada do estrangeiro não vinha nada, a não ser aquilo que vinha da Rússia e da Rússia não vinha a comida nessa altura. Nós vivíamos de donativos, graças aos Estados Unidos da América, que mandavam donativos para aqui para apoiar os centros, os internatos, algumas pequenas comunidades, mas o resto não havia. A economia decresceu. Não tínhamos nada, não produzíamos praticamente nada. Não tínhamos exportações nem importações. Começámos a passar um momento caótico. E daí que alguns moçambicanos viram a hipótese de terminar com aquilo. Afonso Dhlakama e outros moçambicanos tinham que arranjar meios para pôr termo a este sistema que só desgastava os moçambicanos. Daí que surgiu a Renamo", conta o antigo guerrilheiro. Ao recordar as circunstâncias em que começou a guerra civil em 1977, o antigo deputado explica que a ausência de multipartidarismo foi o foco da luta. "Não haviam eleições. A Frelimo impôs-se. Impôs-se quando chegou e disse que os outros são uns ‘bandidos quaisquer'. Diziam na altura que era um instrumento do imperialismo o instrumento do apartheid, instrumento do regime minoritário do Ian Smith, mas que na verdade não era. Isso provou-se. Com o avanço da guerra, zonas libertadas foram-se criando e a Frelimo vivia praticamente confinada nas cidades grandes porque todo o resto as pessoas estavam bem, já andavam, já circulavam, até produziam e estavam à vontade", diz Edgar Silva. O movimento anti-marxista teve como aliados objectivos entidades e países como a Rodésia e a África do Sul que não concordavam com a linha escolhida pelo novo poder de Moçambique. Questionado sobre as consequências desta aliança em termos de imagem, António Muchanga responde que a Renamo só podia buscar apoio junto de quem era contra a Frelimo. "Dada a própria natureza da região, a Renamo, só podia ir buscar armas a quem era contra Frelimo", justifica o antigo parlamentar ao acusar, por seu lado, a Frelimo de ter morto "muita gente em nome da Renamo", diz que "até agora continua a matar".   No mesmo sentido, Edgar Silva sublinha, quanto a si, que quem lutou contra a Frelimo eram combatentes moçambicanos. "Nós não fomos buscar militares lá na Rodésia. Foram moçambicanos. Porque aqui no território nacional, mesmo a própria Frelimo, não começou a luta no interior. Teve que se deslocar à Tanzânia, que era inimiga do governo colonial. Tivemos que ir buscar algum apoio. Muitas vezes não foi desses governos, mas de pessoas de bem lá de fora que traziam o material para nós. Dizemos que também era falso que depois do Ian Smith cair, que nós ficamos sem as portas para o Zimbábue. Continuamos logicamente a ir para Zimbábue buscar apoio e depois, quando o Zimbabué se torna independente, dizer também que a África do Sul é que passou a apoiar-nos, não constitui verdade. Aí nós já estávamos avançados, nós íamos buscar material às forças do inimigo e crescemos muito", afirma o antigo guerrilheiro. Após 16 anos de uma guerra civil que resultou em mais de um milhão de mortos, cinco milhões de refugiados, toda a ordem de violações dos direitos Humanos e a destruição de praticamente todas as infraestruturas do país, a Frelimo no poder e a Renamo assinam um acordo de paz em 1992. O muro de Berlim caiu, a antiga URSS ruiu e a comunidade internacional, especialmente a Igreja Católica, desdobra-se em esforços para acabar com o conflito. Questionado sobre as suas expectativas nessa época, Edgar Silva fala da "abertura do caminho para a democracia multipartidária". "Isto é um ganho que a Renamo conseguiu com os acordos de paz de 1992. (…) Isto é muito para nós", considera. António Muchanga, quanto a si, sublinha que o processo de paz, nomeadamente no que tange à desmobilização e ao desarmamento, continua em andamento. "Este é um processo que está a consolidar-se a cada dia que está a passar. Há militares que abandonaram as armas e se juntaram à política activa naquele tempo. Há outros que foram constituir o exército único que agora estão saindo e que também estão a ingressar na política. E assim vamos fazendo o nosso dia-a-dia. Temos muitos membros agora que são membros das assembleias municipais. Já tivemos muitos nas assembleias provinciais. Já tivemos muitos também, que eram deputados da Assembleia da República. Por causa da fraude eleitoral, desta vez temos poucos", lamenta António Muchanga. Podem ouvir os nossos entrevistados na íntegra aqui:  

Un año “perruno” equivale a 7 años humanos. ¿Y un año de un coche, a cuantos años humanos equivale? Vamos a reflexionar sobre este punto, porque hay coches que envejecen bien… y otros que envejecen mal. Como las personas. ¿Cuáles son los “secretos” para la eterna juventud? Te contamos los secretos por lo que algunos coches envejecen bien… para las personas, mejor busca otro canal. Os propongo un juego. ¡Nos vamos a divertir! Ya sabéis que di versos estudios concluyen que el equivalente de la edad entre un, pero de tamaño medio y de un humano, seria de 7 a 1. Un, pero de la raza pastor alemán de 10 años seria como una persona humana alemana, pastor o no, de 70 años. ¿Nos atrevemos a hacer un equivalente de la edad coche-persona? Se estima que la vida media de un coche es de unos 15 años. La esperanza de vida en España, donde vivimos un montón, es de 83 años. Esto promediando hombres y mujeres, que viven más…no entro en los motivos. Así que matemáticamente la equivalencia entre la edad de los coches y los humanos es de 5,5 a 1. Pero creo que hay un factor corrector porque el deterior de un coche y creo que es más justo 2,5 a 1. Un coche de 10 años tendría 30… ¿Os parece más justo? Os voy a traer ejemplos de coches que se mantienen jóvenes. El Nissan 350 Z va a cumplir 55 años… más o menos la edad de Maribel Verdú. El Honda S2000 se acerca a los 65… más o menos como George Clooney. El Dodge Viper es ya un “madurita de buen ver” con sus casi 75 años… he pedido a Rodrigo que ponga una foto de Sean Connery con 75 años. El Mercedes de la generación W124 seria centenario… mira las imágenes… y es un crack, incomparable con ninguna persona… Ahora que muchos acusan a los coches modernos de tener la llamada Obsolescencia programada, estos son algunos ejemplos de coches que tiene “un pacto con el Diablo”. La pregunta es ¿cuál es su secreto? Y en rigurosa exclusiva te lo vamos a contar en Garaje Hermético. 1. Plazos de renovación. 2. La trampa de la moda. 3. Innovación: Adelantarte a tu tiempo. 4. Exclusividad: Lo minoritario se cotiza. 5. Fiabilidad: Condición “sine qua non”. 6. La competición: El deporte rejuvenece. 7. Imagen “de marca” potente. 8. Ayuda del fabricante… para cuidar tu coche. 9. El efecto “saga”. 10. Factor “seducción”. Conclusión. Seguro que hay más aspectos que he olvidado, porque la “eterna juventud” está lleno de ellos. Pero para eso estáis vosotros y la caja de comentarios. Coche del día. Voy a escoger un coche con 87 años “humanos” pero que seguro que os va a encantar: El Mercedes 500E de 1990, el tope de la gama y que se presentó en el Salón de París de ese año. Mercedes-Benz unió sus fuerzas a Porsche para la puesta a punto de motor y chasis. Exteriormente se distinguía por unos pasos de rueda ligeramente ensanchados pero lo más importante no se veía, el motor V8 de 4.973 cm3, 326 CV de potencia… un “maduro” en muy buena forma.

Entremos al chat de la política monetaria con la decisión de la Fed en Estados Unidos pero también con la de Brasil, porque el termómetro es diferente. En historias de bolsa, por qué las acciones de Bayer han subido tanto este año. Mientras tanto en México, Fibra Uno presume que romperá la sequía de OPIs y los Lakers ahora serán propiedad de un multimillonario del deporte.[Patrocinado] Conoce más sobre el nuevo modelo de negocio de Mercedes-Benz aquí.

Jill opened the show briefly recapping here recent travels. Jill's been on the road training for the next edition of the Rebelle Rally, this time with a new driver/partner and new vehicle. Listen in for details. Tom shared details of a major industry merger, though most consumers won't be affected. Still, it does involve Mercedes-Benz and Toyota. Tom shared news regarding the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV. One version goes away; one seriously high-performance variant is added to the lineup. Both hosts shared their takes on the all-new 2025 Nissan Murano midsize 2-row crossover. For the most part the new midsize crossover is an upgrade over the previous edition, though Jill has a specific complaint. In the second segment, Jill and Tom are joined by Patrick George of InsideEVs. Patrick recently spent a couple of weeks in China learning about the country's EV products and market environment. Listen in for some fascinating insights regarding how the Chinese are succeeding at building and selling electric vehicles. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Q1 Sales!” quiz. 

I greet you in Jesus' precious name. It is Saturday morning, the 14th of June, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. I want us to go to the Book of Philippians 4:19: “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” All your needs, not all our wants, no, but all our needs! I want to talk to you today about tools. You must have the right tools for the job. We need the tools for the work that God has called us to, and in Philippians 4:19, He has already told us that He will supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. I had a tremendous desire, I still do, to get the Gospel of Jesus Christ into Central Africa, and the Gospel is the Word, and the Word, according to Psalm 119:105: “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” I had a dream to have a huge truck and I would call it the Seed-Sower. I think you've heard about it! Yes, a 20-ton Mercedes Benz, 4 x 4 truck. 32 gears in that truck, an 80 kilowatt lighting plant on the back, a platform that came down from the side that could accommodate a whole band and the preacher, and one name on the side, “JESUS”, that's all. The colour? Bright yellow because they tell me that that is the colour that is easiest to identify, especially when you are reading. It even had 4 diesel tanks. It could go almost through a whole country without having to refill. It had a water tank on the back because many places we visited had water that was not drinkable, and it supplied all of our needs: to shower, to cook, and to drink.There we went out and took Bibles, thousands of Bibles and tracts and Christian books. We took food and clothes. The funny thing is, they never wanted the food and the clothes so much, but they wanted the Word of God, the Bible. We had the tools of the trade and then by faith we went out into unreached people groups where the Gospel had not been heard before, a most incredible experience, little children running out of their huts, never having seen a white man before. It was quite amazing and so open and so loving. Sowing good seed because we had the right tools! Get the right tools first before you do the job. Jesus bless you and goodbye.

The "Golden Age of Auto Racing" began after World War II and lasted until the early Seventies. It's a period that is frequently romanticized. But that thin veneer was shattered at the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the afternoon of June 11, 1955, when a catastrophic collision caused the deaths of Mercedes-Benz driver Pierre Levegh and at least 83 spectators. Here's the story of that terrible day and its aftermath.This episode was originally released in 2022 and is now updated and remastered.SUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageSUBSCRIBE to Horsepower Heritage on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritageFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comINSTAGRAM: @horsepowerheritageHORSEPOWER HERITAGE is created, produced and hosted by Maurice Merrick.Get in touch with Maurice:https://horsepowerheritage.com/contactSupport the showHELP us grow the audience!

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for June 4th Publish Date:  June 4th    Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, June 4th and Happy Birthday to Angelina Jolie I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb Students Receive College-Sponsored National Merit Scholarships Judge Pauses State Sanctions put on Cobb, Cities Cobb Advances 300-Apartment Development Amid School District Concerns All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: TIDWELL TREES_FINAL STORY 1: Cobb Students Receive College-Sponsored National Merit Scholarships Fourteen Cobb County students have earned college-sponsored scholarships through the National Merit Scholarship Program, part of over 2,900 winners nationwide this year. These scholarships, ranging from $500 to $2,000 annually, are funded by 146 colleges and universities. Recipients were selected from 2025 National Merit Finalists based on academic excellence, recommendations, and test scores. The winners, representing schools like Lassiter, Walton, and Wheeler High, plan to pursue diverse fields such as engineering, law, genetics, and marine biology. By the program’s end, over 6,930 students will have received scholarships totaling nearly $26 million. STORY 2: Judge Pauses State Sanctions put on Cobb, Cities Sanctions cutting off state funding for Cobb County and its seven cities have been paused by a Cobb Superior Court ruling. The sanctions stemmed from Mableton and Cobb County missing a May 31 deadline to finalize a Service Delivery Strategy agreement. Mableton initially rejected the $9.5 million deal but later approved a revised version, allowing more time for payment. The court ruled the sanctions would harm Cobb’s 800,000 residents, halting state support for infrastructure, public safety, and more. If the agreement is finalized soon, sanctions could lift by July 1. Mableton plans to create a special service district to fund its payment. STORY 3: Cobb Advances 300-Apartment Development Amid School District Concerns The Cobb County Planning Commission approved a 300-unit apartment development on South Cobb Parkway near Cumberland Mall, replacing an aging hotel. Developer Alliance Residential plans a five-story building with amenities like a pool, gym, and co-working space, targeting young professionals, downsizers, and seniors. Despite concerns from the Cobb School District about overcrowding at Teasley Elementary, the commission voted unanimously to advance the project. Alliance argued the development would generate $1.19 million in annual tax revenue and suggested rezoning the area to Brumby Elementary, which has capacity. The proposal now heads to the Board of Commissioners for final approval on June 17. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: TOP TECH_FINAL STORY 4: Cobb EMC’s Nurdan Cornelius Honored as 2025 Woman of Distinction Nurdan Cornelius, recently retired director of consumer marketing at Cobb EMC, has been named the 2025 Woman of Distinction by Cobb Executive Women. Honored after Cobb Chair Lisa Cupid’s State of the County address, Cornelius was recognized for her leadership, community involvement, and social responsibility. Over her 20-year career, she led transformative initiatives at Cobb EMC and dedicated decades to civic causes, including providing over 1 million diapers and 10,000 winter coats to families in need. Known for her global perspective and commitment to underserved communities, Cornelius remains a driving force in Cobb County. STORY 5: Pedestrian Hit by Two Cars in Marietta, Sustains Life-Threatening Injuries A pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries after being struck by two vehicles Monday night on Powder Springs St. in Marietta. The incident occurred around 11:26 p.m. near a QuikTrip gas station when the man, crossing in a crosswalk but against the traffic signal, was hit by a 2020 Mercedes Benz and then a 2015 Nissan. Both drivers remained on the scene and are cooperating with police. Video evidence from Cobb County Police supports the investigation, and no charges are expected. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact Marietta Police Investigator D. Lester. Break: INGLES 1 STORY 6: Austell Appoints First Woman Police Chief in Cobb County Shameta Jones-Harrell has been appointed as Austell’s new police chief, becoming the first woman to hold the position in Cobb County history. The City Council unanimously approved her promotion, praising her leadership. A 25-year law enforcement veteran, Jones-Harrell holds a criminal justice degree and has served in various roles, including deputy chief in Austell and major in Brookhaven. She has managed multiple divisions, from community engagement to training. Jones-Harrell has been interim chief since March and officially steps into the role following former Chief Scott Hamilton’s resignation. Capt. Cecil Lloyd Garett will now serve as deputy chief. STORY 7: Georgia Department of Driver Services Implements Federal Commercial Medical Certificate Mandate Starting June 18, 2025, Georgia CDL holders requiring medical certifications must have their Medical Certificates submitted directly to the FMCSA by their Medical Examiner, as per the Medical Certification Integration Final Rule. The Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) will no longer accept hard copies via mail, fax, email, online, or in-person. Medical providers will input the information into the National Registry, which FMCSA will transmit to DDS. Existing certificates remain valid until expiration. DDS advises customers to create an Online Services Account for easy monitoring and to handle transactions like license replacements or address changes online. We’ll have closing comments after this.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1061: China's rare earth restrictions are causing real pain for Europe's automakers, Costco's gas game and checkout tech are stepping up, and American shoppers are oddly calm about rising tariffs—at least for now.Show Notes with links:China's tightened grip on rare earth exports is starting to squeeze Europe's auto manufacturing sector. With critical materials stuck in red tape and only a quarter of export licenses approved, major OEMs and suppliers are bracing for broader production halts in the coming weeks.CLEPA, the European Association of Automotive Suppliers, says hundreds of export license requests were submitted, but only 25% approved since April.Parts plant shutdowns are already affecting suppliers to VW, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Bosch.The slowdown stems from China's April decision to suspend exports of rare earths and magnets amid a trade standoff with the U.S.Delays in customs clearance and license processing are compounding the issue, say VDA (the German Automotive Industry Association) and CLEPA.China may ease restrictions for certain European semiconductor firms, but auto remains at risk.“Production delays and even production outages can no longer be ruled out,” said VDA President Hildegard Mueller.America's third-largest retailer is leaning into its members-first model. Costco is expanding hours at gas stations, testing scan-and-go checkout tech, and adding flexible payment options to stay competitive in a tightening retail race.Gas stations now open nationwide until 10 p.m., with select sites opening earlier too.CEO Rob Vachris says the goal is to drive more foot—and fuel—traffic by boosting convenience.Gas accounted for 12% of Costco's total sales in 2024, thanks to exclusive member access and competitive prices.“Scan & Pay” via smartphone is being piloted to streamline checkout, competing with Sam's Club's tech-forward edge.Costco has also teamed with Affirm for monthly payment plans as shoppers look beyond credit cards.A new survey by Modern Retail highlights that while many Americans are concerned about rising costs and tariffs, their spending behavior has yet to shift significantly.76% of surveyed consumers said they were familiar with recent tariffs; over half believe tariffs increase prices for everyday goods.Despite that concern, 40% reported no notable changes in their purchasing habits.A majority of respondents said they were either delaying planned purchases due to higher prices or had already bought items early to avoid anticipated tariff-related cost increases.Electronics and clothing were identified as the most likely categories to see reduced spending.Over half of respondents expressed optimism about their financial outlook for the next six months.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Roger Penske's integrity-first approach rocks the racing world as Team Penske faces unprecedented sanctions just days before the Indianapolis 500. We break down exactly what happened—modified attenuators on Josef Newgarden and Will Power's cars sent both championship contenders to the back of the grid, while three top Penske executives were fired. The technical violation might seem minor to casual fans (smoothing an edge on a safety component), but as we explain, it represents a significant breach of trust from racing's most respected team owner.The timing couldn't be worse for Newgarden, who was pursuing a historic three-peat at the Indy 500. We discuss how this follows another technical violation discovered in April regarding improper access to push-to-pass systems, creating a troubling pattern for the team that owns both the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the IndyCar Series itself.Beyond the racing scandal, we explore Mercedes-Benz's strategic expansion in Atlanta, where the German automaker is doubling down by relocating 500 jobs and opening a multi-million dollar R&D center—a counter-intuitive move as they slash costs globally. We also dive into Ford Motor Company's explosive lawsuit against California lawyers allegedly running a massive billing fraud scheme under the state's Lemon Law, costing the automaker approximately $20 million annually over five years.Our "This Week in Auto History" segment highlights fascinating milestones, including Team Lotus entering Formula One in 1958, the founding of Buick Motors in 1903, and the establishment of the first auto repair shop in the US in 1899. Whether you're a racing enthusiast, automotive history buff, or simply enjoy hearing candid conversations about cars, this episode delivers insight, expertise, and entertainment in equal measure.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

¡ALERTA FINANCIERA CON SABOR A BARRIO CHINO! ¿Harto de que la economía te suene a chino mandarín (o a arameo antiguo, que viene a ser lo mismo)? Tranqui, que aquí te lo contamos como si estuviéramos de cañas, pero con datos que te harán flipar más que un episodio de Black Mirror. En el menú de hoy: El Tío Sam pierde su corona de Rey Midas: Moody's le da un capón crediticio y lo deja tiritando. ¿Consecuencias? Pues que igual la próxima vez que pida prestado le cobran hasta por respirar. Analizamos la deuda que crece más rápido que la mala hierba. La Guerra de los Aranceles (Temporada 37): Trump amenaza con ponerle un impuesto hasta al aire que importamos de Europa. Apple, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz... ¡todos a cubierto! ¿Quién paga la fiesta? Spoiler: probablemente tú. Inteligencia Artificial: ¿Amiga o Enemiga?: Desde Nvidia y sus dramas con China hasta CoreWeave (¿quién?) y los robots que te quitarán el curro mientras Jony Ive (ex Apple) diseña su carcasa. Prepara el currículum para pasear perros. Cripto-Locura y Bancos Despistados: Coinbase se cuela en el S&P 500 (¡ole sus... bitcoins!) mientras los grandes bancos como JPMorgan se apuntan a la moda de las stablecoins después de haberlas puesto a parir. La coherencia, bien, gracias. El Drama del Carrito de la Compra: Walmart vs. Trump en un combate de pesos pesados por los precios. Target y Home Depot ven cómo el consumidor se aprieta el cinturón hasta ahogarse. ¿Compramos hoy o esperamos a las rebajas del Apocalipsis? Movidas Farmacéuticas: Novo Nordisk (los de Ozempic) cambia de jefe en plena tormenta y 23andMe vende tus genes al mejor postor (Regeneron). ¡Tu ADN vale pasta, amigo! Y mucho más: chanchullos de directivos vendiendo acciones (Palantir, D-Wave), la odisea de Boeing para no estrellarse (otra vez), y por qué BYD le está comiendo la tostada a Tesla en Europa. Todo esto servido con una buena dosis de ironía, un poquito de mala leche (constructiva, eso sí) y la perspectiva de quien ha visto más crisis que capítulos repetidos de Los Simpson. No te prometemos hacerte rico, pero unas risas (y alguna que otra idea para no palmar pasta) te echas seguro. ¡Dale al PLAY, bribón/a! Y si te mola el salseo financiero: ❤️ Likea si te hemos abierto los ojos (o te hemos dejado más confundido, que también tiene mérito). Comenta qué empresa crees que la va a pifiar más o cuál es tu apuesta ganadora. ¡Se abre debate! Comparte con ese colega que siempre está hablando de invertir y no tiene ni idea (o contigo mismo, para la posteridad).

The $36.5 million project will expand a 2.4-mile stretch from two to four lanes, add a multi-use sidepath, and improve intersections with Reduced Conflict U-Turns. Originally proposed in 1991, the project faced decades of delays due to funding and environmental concerns. Construction, led by Astra Group LLC, began in March 2025 and is expected to take three years, with a bridge replacement set for completion in 2027. Local leaders praised GDOT’s support for this vital improvement. STORY 5: Army Corps Closes Recreational Areas Ahead of Memorial Day A federal staffing shortage has led to the closure of 31 recreational areas across Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, including 20 sites at Lake Lanier, just before Memorial Day weekend. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced the closures, sparking political blame. Georgia Rep. Rich McCormick criticized the decision, while Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff blamed cuts initiated under former President Trump. The closures stem from budget reductions tied to the Department of Government Efficiency, established by Trump and Elon Musk. Impacted areas include Lake Lanier, Allatoona Lake, and parts of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River system.

In some of Hollywood's best-loved movies, Jack Nicholson played jokers, sailors, inmates – even the Devil himself. But he never played by the rules. He allegedly mooned a crowd of thousands at a basketball game. His bedroom kinks were laid bare in the papers. He fought the MPAA and the LAPD. And in 1994, he attempted to establish his own set of rules when he attacked an idling Mercedes-Benz with a two-iron.

Michelli, Ph.D., C.S.P., is an internationally sought-after speaker, author, and organizational consultant who transfers his knowledge of exceptional business practices in ways that develop joyful and productive workplaces with a focus on customer experience. His insights encourage leaders and frontline workers to grow and invest passionately in all aspects of their lives. 

When Technological Innovation Meets Human-Centered Experience   Shep interviews Joseph A. Michelli, professor of Service Excellence, speaker, organizational consultant, and best-selling author. He talks about his new book, All Business Is Personal, and how companies can blend technology with humanity to create personal connections and improve customer experiences. The case study Michelli uses throughout the book is One Medical, a perfect example of how to achieve the balance between technology and the human-to-human connections you want to make with your customers.   This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    What are the benefits of combining technology with personal interaction in customer service?  What role does listening play in improving the customer experience?  How important is it for businesses to include digital and human touchpoints in customer interactions?  How does a seamless digital experience impact customer satisfaction and loyalty?  Why is emotional connection important in business?    Top Takeaways:    Technology, like apps and AI, makes life convenient for customers by allowing easy online scheduling or instant answers through chatbots. However, it is still the human connection that builds lasting relationships. The best businesses use tech to make things faster and simpler but always offer a human backup for when a customer needs a personal touch.  So many businesses continue to operate the same way because "that's how it's always been done." It is important to constantly ask why things are done a certain way and whether there's a better, more modern, or easier approach for customers.   Delivering a great customer experience is not just about satisfying customer needs. It's the best marketing a company can have.   People remember how you made them feel long after the transaction is over. Creating an emotional connection with your customers can transform a routine interaction into a memorable experience. Creating positive emotions through empathy, excitement, or delight builds loyalty and motivates customers to refer you to others.  Use Net Promoter Score as a guideline, not a vanity metric. While a high Net Promoter Score (NPS) can indicate customer satisfaction, the actual behavior of customers and the genuine referrals they make is what counts.   Train your employees to listen to what customers say, not just hear their words. Many businesses train their staff to communicate, but few teach them to listen deeply and with empathy. Listening well helps you understand how your product and services impact the customer's life and what it means to them.  Wow moments are not always over-the-top experiences. Going slightly beyond what's expected can create a big impact on customers. Small gestures such as remembering a customer's name or a personal preference can elevate a service experience from just fine to amazing.  Plus, Joseph shares how One Medical transformed healthcare by blending technology with personal service, creating a more convenient and customer-focused experience.

You are cordially invited to the episode 405 of the Unnamed Automotive Podcast, where the hosts will deliberate on two of the most high-end SUVs available on the market. Grab your monocles, have a plate of caviar, and take a seat upon one of our exclusive thrones made solely of materials mined only from the dark side of the moon. This weeks show starts off with Benjamins sharp witted review of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G550. A high-end SUV with humble beginnings and limited generational changes, this time around it's got a whole new motor, design and high class interior, one so fancy that Benjamin had to take extra precautions when hauling stuff around. What does the G-Class mean these days? Is it something to be celebrated or shunned for being too excessive? Then the guys take some time to talk about the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography, a seven-seat ode to royal British motoring. Outfitted with the right equipment for towing, hauling, and ferrying passengers around, Benjamin explains how the experience in this SUV was totally different than the Benz, even though the two vehicles share similar price points. Thanks for listening!
