Some cloudless night in September, when the air is clear, you may see birds flying across the yellow face of the moon! September is peak migration time for millions of songbirds heading south from North America to more tropical latitudes. Nocturnal migrants of the same species, such as orioles, warblers, sparrows, and tanagers, call as they fly, enabling flock-mates to stick together. Many of these flight calls are distinctive, enabling those with an excellent ear to identify them as they pass. Listen to this show in Spanish here. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.

Five days after catastrophic flash floods swept along the Nepal-Tibet border, the true extent of the devastation is becoming clear. More than 4,000 people are still missing, and more than 900 are confirmed dead. A major push is being made to reach hundreds of workers believed to be trapped in hydropower tunnels which were submerged in thick mud during the floods. Hanako Montgomery has more on the rescue efforts. Also on today's show: John Torpey, Response Director, World Central Kitchen & Lila Pieters Yahia.

Unwelcome Shores: Black Refugees in America (Rutgers University Press, 2025) is an ethnographic study of the Liberian refugee community in Staten Island, New York, home to the largest per capita concentration of Liberians in the U.S., that sheds light on the racialization of Black refugees and the racism they have experienced at every step of their migration journey. In this pioneering study, sociologist Bernadette Ludwig explores how Liberians have responded to such racist exclusions, noting how members of this community reject the informal refugee label once they are resettled in the United States. Liberian migrants often view the label as a liability since the larger general public, the media, and the U.S. government tend to regard Black refugees as an economic and social burden unworthy of assistance. Indeed, Black refugees' humanity is often ignored, Ludwig contends, in favor of overemphasizing presumed barbaric violence, endemic wars, cultural backwardness, and diseases. By detailing the lack of aid and support for Black refugees and describing how Liberian refugees in particular have had to overcome various struggles and barriers in coming to the U.S. and while living here, Unwelcome Shores highlights the overarching role of race and anti-Black racism in American society. Dr. Bernadette Ludwig is a Sociologist and the Assistant Dean of the Macricostas School of Arts and Sciences at Western Connecticut State University. She is also an Affiliated Faculty with The New School's Zolberg Institute on Migration & Mobility. Host: Michael L. Rosino is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Molloy University, studying racial politics, media, and democracy. His most recent book, Democracy Is Awkward: Grappling with Racism Inside Grassroots Political Organizing, is now available with the University of North Carolina Press. In this episode, Dr. Ludwig mentioned an opportunity to get involved in asylum and deportation cases.

Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com Read Dr. Danger Zone by Kolja Spöri at https://www.amazon.com/dp/3903713023 Doug and Matt interview elite traveler Kolja Spöri about his new book, Dr. Danger Zone, a collection of 25 highlight stories from a lifetime of travel to remote and dangerous places, paired with his on-the-ground conclusions that often contradict mainstream narratives. Kolja recounts driving Russia's northern ice roads in extreme cold, visiting conflict zones and politically sensitive regions, and seeking out famous "watering hole" hotels, including Haiti's Hotel Oloffson. The conversation shifts to his views on Turkey's development under Erdoğan, increasing surveillance and political repression in Western Europe—especially Germany—and his belief that Europe is being pushed toward a wider war with Russia while migration is used as a weapon against European civilization. They also discuss his Libya trip during the Arab Spring, his connections that enabled access to places like Chechnya, the FARC, and Mindanao, a rap song made about his life, and his Formula 1 sponsorship career. 00:00 Meet Kolja Spöri 01:09 Inside Dr Danger Zone 04:33 Languages and Turkey 07:48 Europe Turning Point 10:24 War With Russia Fears 15:10 Migration and Culture Clash 21:32 Ice Road Adventure 25:17 Haiti Hotel Legends 27:41 Goma Danger Factors 30:22 Entering Libya During Spring 32:11 Armed Kids Reality 32:51 Planning Warzone Access 33:36 Libya Benghazi Insights 35:16 Borders And Breakups 36:40 Chechnya To FARC 39:00 Mindanao And Militants 41:20 Rap Tribute Breakdown 45:31 Karabakh And Azerbaijan 47:15 Formula One Backstory 49:05 Next Chapter Reflections 50:13 Book Plug And Farewell

Kelsey Norman is a Fellow for the Middle East and Director of the Women's Rights, Human Rights, and Refugees Program at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy. Her new book, Aiding Autocrats: Migration Management, Governance and Repression in Africa, examines how wealthy countries increasingly use foreign aid to persuade other governments to stop migrants before they reach Europe or the United States—and the unintended political consequences of those policies. In this episode, Kelsey explains what she calls "migration management aid" and how it has shaped relationships with countries including Turkey, Libya, and Rwanda. We also discuss whether more recent policies, including the Trump administration's deportation agreements with countries such as Eswatini, fit into this broader pattern. The conversation then turns to one of the book's central arguments: that outsourcing migration control can undermine democracy and good governance by strengthening authoritarian governments and giving them new resources and leverage. We conclude by discussing whether there is a better way for wealthy countries to cooperate with governments on migration without reinforcing repression or sacrificing human rights.

During migration, some birds change orientation and travel almost the same distance — but in the opposite direction — as the rest of their species. The phenomenon is called misorientation. First-year birds are particularly susceptible. Many vagrant birds never find their way back on course, but some do, getting more comfortable with the route each year.

On the northeastern tip of Morocco, just south of Gibraltar, the Spanish city Ceuta was recently overwhelmed by Moroccan migrants. At the end of last month, tens of thousands of Moroccans flooded border crossings, or tried to get around them by swimming in the Strait of Gibraltar. Dozens of people died in the attempt. Now, while the majority of the migrants have been returned to Morocco, hundreds, if not thousands, still remain in Ceuta, struggling to access food and water, while inflamed anti-immigrant sentiment tears at the fabric of the city, and European Union at large. Host Caryn Ceolin is speaking with Gerald Knaus, President of the European Stability Initiative, about the crisis, what's behind it, and the political upheaval in Europe, as the far-right continues to make gains in major nations on the backs of anti-migration seeker sentiment.

Andy Burnham's summer bonanza continues as he announces plans to empower local councils and hopefully improve Britain's High Streets. The government wants to make it easier for councils to refuse certain types of businesses – but is the plethora of vape shops, betting shops and barbers a cause of Britain's High Street decline, or just a symptom? If there are no businesses to replace those, will the public prefer empty shops to those they see as less desirable? Noa Hoffman and Michael Simmons join Tim Shipman to discuss. Plus: the Prime Minister attempts to grip the migration crisis, as small boats numbers rise across the summer – but can he get his facts straight?Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com Find Col. Douglas MacGregor at www.macgregorwarrior.substack.com https://www.youtube.com/@macgregorwarriordiplomacy and https://nationalconversation.org/ No Existential Threat from China/Russia—America's Real Crisis Is Internal In a wide-ranging discussion, Col. Douglas MacGregor argues there are no existential military threats to the United States from China or Russia, contending the most serious dangers come from instability and organized crime in Mexico and the Caribbean Basin, weakened social cohesion, mass migration, and loss of American identity. He criticizes U.S. and NATO leadership over Ukraine, predicts Russia will ultimately defeat Ukraine, and calls Ukraine a "zombie state," while disputing portrayals of Putin as Hitler. MacGregor says defending U.S. borders and reducing overseas "forward presence" are essential in an age of precision missiles, and warns financial manipulation is postponing an inevitable economic reckoning driven by massive public and private debt. He claims the U.S. government is acting against Americans' interests, describes "Israel first" influence in Washington, and expects renewed action against Iran that could exhaust remaining U.S. capacity, while forecasting major geopolitical realignments in the Middle East. 00:00 Biggest Threats Today 01:40 No Military Existential Threat 04:17 Ukraine War Reality Check 05:34 Putin Hitler Narrative 06:14 Son Visits Russia 08:22 Why Russia Moves Slowly 11:30 Ukraine as Zombie State 12:49 Border Security Focus 15:15 End Expeditionary Warfare 17:33 Demographics and Migration 18:19 Army on the Border 20:30 American Identity Erosion 23:08 Immigration and Prosperity 24:46 Europe Identity Rebound 30:35 Assimilation or Collapse 31:55 Scarcity and Education 40:29 Government Not Ours 41:12 Israel First Policies 45:19 Rural Urban Civil Strife 48:20 Hybrid American Identity 49:20 Executive Power Creep 50:01 Historic Strongmen Examples 52:48 Trump and Donor Control 55:04 Corruption and Cromwell Fix 56:12 Midterms and ICE Backlash 58:10 Scarcity and Revolution Risks 01:00:52 Institutional Decay and Youth 01:05:31 Debt Reckoning and Vacuum 01:10:40 Iran War Paths and Alliances 01:17:02 Gaza as Regional Catalyst 01:18:02 Where to Follow MacGregor 01:19:08 Military Reform and Four Stars 01:24:57 National Conversation Closing

In March 2021 a build guard checked whether Coldcard's hardware random number generator was defined rather than whether it was enabled, so seed generation silently fell back to a deterministic software PRNG. Every seed made on an affected device from that point carried roughly 40 bits of entropy on Mk2 and Mk3, and about 72 on Mk4, Mk5 and Q, instead of the intended 128. That is guessable. Someone did the maths offline, derived the addresses, checked them against the public chain, and swept everything with a balance. Somewhere between 1,400 and 1,800 bitcoin gone, depending on whose forensics you trust, with a median victim loss of one BTC. The part people keep missing: updating the firmware does not fix an existing seed. A weak seed is weak forever.ACTION FOR LISTENERSMove funds to a brand new seed BEFORE upgrading firmware (Lopp's guidance, on reports of update problems).Use high fees. If you see your own coins in the mempool, the attacker opted into RBF and you can outbid them. Window is minutes.Multisig users: consider a private mempool like Marathon's Slipstream.Keep the device; the UID may prove ownership in any recovery process.Updating does NOT fix an existing seed. A weak seed is weak forever.You are exempt only if you added 50+ fair independent private dice rolls, or used a strong unique BIP39 passphrase stored separately.BTCPay Server: unauthenticated LND macaroon theft, actively exploitedSources: BTCPay security advisory / v2.4.2 release / CoinDesk / TFTCCRITICAL FRAMING NOTE: this is ONE story, not two. The "BTCPay bug" and the "LND credential exploit" are the same event. The vulnerability is the macaroon leak. The Aug 8-9 wave of coverage is follow-up hardening, not a new incident. Do not present them separately.REMEDIATION (updating alone is NOT enough)Update to v2.4.2. Verify "2.4.2" in the footer.Update NBXplorer to 2.6.10+.Revoke and regenerate LND macaroons. Updating stops new theft but does nothing about already-stolen credentials. Deleting files is insufficient; the macaroon root signing key must be destroyed at node level. v2.4.2 does this automatically for standard Docker deployments. Custom reverse proxies, separate Tor services or port forwarding must rotate manually.Move funds out of any BTCPay-generated on-chain hot wallet and recreate it.Update LND to 0.21.1. Audit for unrecognised channel closures, unknown peers, unexplained balance changes.SIDE EFFECT WORTH FLAGGING: v2.4.2 removes public LND API access on Docker deployments, which breaks remote wallet connections such as Zeus connecting to your own BTCPay node. Intentional, no restoration timeline published.BREAKING CHANGE: Greenfield Basic authentication disabled by default five minutes after account creation (#7492). BTCPay: "We are not aware of any user impacted by this breaking change, as API Keys authentication is generally used."Boltz suspends all swaps indefinitelySources: Boltz statement / canary.boltz.exchange / The Defiant / TFTC / Bull Bitcoin statementCORRECTION TO THE COMMON FRAMING: Boltz has not shut down. It suspended swap services indefinitely. And the canary sequence runs the opposite way to the rumour: lapsed → suspended → renewed clean.The Bitcoin Red TeamSources: Calle and Rob Hamilton on Nostr/X / Bitcoin Magazine / CoinDesk / TFTC / OpenSats Red Team FundSUMMARYThis is the story that explains the other four. After the Coldcard exploit, Calle and Rob Hamilton pointed frontier AI models at the open-source Bitcoin stack and started auditing everything. In 108 hours, 25 developers scanned 501 projects and produced 7,958 findings, 1,280 of them rated high or critical, at a compute cost north of 58,000 dollars. They found the BTCPay bug's neighbours, and Boltz cited exactly this dynamic when it switched itself off. The uncomfortable symmetry is that the same capability doing the defending is what an attacker almost certainly used on Coldcard in the first place. And the bottleneck turns out not to be finding bugs, it is telling anyone: only 19.5% of the projects they scanned even have a SECURITY.md file, and only 13.1% list a security contact. The scanners move at machine speed. Responsible disclosure is still hunting around for an email address.BIP-110: the fork that mined two blocks and frozeSources: bip110monitor.com / Peter Todd code review / Aaron van Wirdum, Bitcoin Magazine / Lopp's Layman's Guide / Saylor essay / CoinDeskRELEASESBitcoin core / protocollibsecp256k1 v0.8.0 - 2026-08-03Adds a native Silent Payments (BIP-352) module directly into the crypto library nearly every self-custody wallet builds on, plus up to ~11% faster signature verification. Quietly the most consequential positive release of the fortnight: it lowers the bar for every wallet to ship reusable static receive addresses.Bitcoin Knots v29.4 - 2026-08-08Non-urgent maintenance: fixes a chainstate DB bug causing repeated large rewrites, and adds corruption-detection safeguards around BIP-110 mandatory signaling. No critical fixes. (No Bitcoin Core release in window; latest is v31.1 from 2026-07-08.)Hardware / signingColdcard Firmware 4.2.0 (Mk2/Mk3) - 2026-08-03The patch for the entropy catastrophe. Affected ranges: Mk2/Mk3 4.0.1 through 4.1.9; Mk4/Mk5 all before 5.6.0; Q all before 1.5.0Q. Companion fixes shipped the same day: 5.6.0 Mk4/Mk5, 1.5.0Q, 6.6.0X Edge, 6.6.0QX Edge Q. Updating does NOT fix an existing seed - changelog says Mk3 users "must regenerate any seeds made on earlier versions as their entropy is critically low at just ~40 bits." TAPSIGNER, OPENDIME and SATSCARD unaffected.Krux 26.08.0 - 2026-08-04Maintainer odudex is stepping down and the project may be archived. "Krux was not created by me: Jeff started it and passed it on to me, and now it is my turn to pass the torch." On succession: "Krux may be carried on by another maintainer, if a proof-of-work backed Krux contributor accepts the role. Otherwise the Krux project will be put in sunset mode and gracefully archived in a few months." Cause is hardware, not drama: "K210 chips are no longer produced, and Canaan dropped the Kendryte line entirely." Substantial release regardless: fixes a heap buffer overflow in the camera entropy module, adds stricter PSBT fee-calculation checks, replaces the Python UR stack with a faster C module, and makes Krux Installer fully offline.Frostsnap v0.3.0 - 2026-08-05FROST threshold-signing device ships reproducible/deterministic builds and "a fresh release signing key as part of an overhauled release-signing pipeline." Well timed in a fortnight where "can you verify what is running on your signer" is the whole conversation. Catch: the new key breaks in-place Android updates, so direct-APK users must uninstall, reinstall, and re-visit their threshold devices to restore.Trezor Suite v26.7.4 - 2026-08-04Lowers minimum Normal-priority fee rate to 0.2 sat/vB and ships updated Safe 7/5/3 and Model T firmware with security improvements.BitBoxApp 4.51.4 - 2026-08-07Bundles new BitBox02 firmware v9.26.5.Specter Desktop v2.1.11 - 2026-08-09Genuinely security-relevant: adds auth and CSRF protection to the HWI bridge settings, restores validation of active API tokens so revoked JWTs are rejected, and warns that Specter's auth layer does not encrypt the data folder.

How did more than 70,000 migrants manage to enter the Spanish enclave of Ceuta all at once … and what will be the fallout? With reporting from Javier Jennings Mozo and Jennifer Rankin. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus
Migration is a tough time of year for many birds, as they make their long dangerous journey between breeding grounds and wintering territories. The path taken by many sees them passing over or stopping to nest in increasingly urban landscapes. These landscape changes affect birds in many ways, some obvious, some more subtle. That is the work of researcher Lauren Pharr, at the time of this interview, a PhD student studying urban noise and light pollution and their affect on birds. She joined host Nate Swick in April 2021 to chat about her work, wildlife research in urban settings, and community science. Also, Nate is back from a wonderful Black Belt Birding Festival.

EU interior ministers express strong solidarity with Spain over its handling of the Ceuta migrant crisis. In a video conference, they commended the swift reaction of the authorities in Madrid to the influx of more than 70,000 Moroccans into the Spanish territory last week. The surge was blamed on disinformation and people smugglers. Also: The world's biggest oil producer, Saudi Arabia's Saudi Aramco, posts record profits as the Iran war sends prices surging, and despite Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. A mass funeral has taken place in Gaza for over 100 people whose bodies have been recovered from rubble nearly three years after they were killed in an Israeli attack. A man accused of pretending to be a judge is ordered to stand trial in Egypt. Prosecutors allege he bribed officials with $60,000 to gain access to the Cairo courthouse where he had himself filmed as if he was presiding over trials.

The EU is scrambling to contain the political fallout after more than 70,000 migrants crossed into the Spanish territory of Ceuta from Morocco last Friday. Most have since returned home, but the critical response from several EU countries has laid bare divisions over the bloc's migration policy. Also, in India's capital, public health experts are scrambling to offer protection for citizens against the deadly impact of severe heat. And, cadmium, a heavy metal linked to cancers and other diseases, is worrying French consumers — who, on average show, show levels in their bodies three to four times higher than the European average.

In the opening segment, Ben and Ted discuss reports about the DNC’s finances and internal party tensions, including fundraising concerns and leadership challenges ahead of upcoming elections. The conversation focuses on what those developments could mean for Democratic political strategy and organization. Later, Cruz and Ferguson turn to newly discussed materials related to Anthony Fauci’s handling of COVID-19. They argue that diary entries, congressional testimony, school shutdown decisions, and debates over the origins of the coronavirus raise new questions about accountability, transparency, and public trust in government health officials. The episode concludes with a discussion about migration into Spain from Morocco. Cruz and Ferguson compare images from Spain to immigration challenges previously seen at the U.S. southern border and debate what those developments could mean for Europe and the United States. In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson review major political stories from the week, including the Democratic Party’s reported financial difficulties, ongoing debates surrounding Anthony Fauci’s COVID-era actions and testimony, and concerns about migration and border security in Spain and Europe. Topics Covered: Reports of financial strain and internal conflict within the Democratic National Committee DNC fundraising challenges and election-year political implications Anthony Fauci’s congressional testimony and newly discussed diary entries COVID-19 school shutdowns, public health decisions, and accountability debates Questions surrounding COVID-19 origins and gain-of-function research allegations Migration into Spain and comparisons to U.S. border security debates Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson argue that financial instability within the Democratic Party, unresolved questions about COVID-era leadership, and migration pressures in Europe highlight broader concerns about government accountability and border security.
