Podcasts about missile launch

Tensions in the Middle East are on a knife's edge in the aftermath of Iran's barrage of missiles on Israel. The Israeli defence force says there's been no reports of casualties and most of the around 180 projectiles were intercepted. Iran has confirmed the attack and says it's targeting Israel in response to deaths of Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah. Reuters Bureau Chief for Israel and Palestine James Mackenzie told Ryan Bridge it's a big deal despite there having been an attack from Iran back in April. He said that the first time there was limited damage and a sort of tacit agreement to let it slide, but with it happening again, the stakes are definitely raised. They've already seen a really sharp uptick in essentially the beginning of a war in Israel. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tim Lyon was an officer assigned to the 400th Strategic Missile Squadron located in Cheyenne Wyoming. The Squadron was maintained 50 Peacekeeper ICBM missiles based in underground silos in farmers' fields in remote areas of  Wyoming.Tim was one of two launch officers who were responsible for 10 of these missiles. He and his colleague would descend forty to sixty feet below ground to a concrete capsule that housed the Launch Control Centre.  There he would spend 24-hour alerts ready to launch 100 nuclear warheads — each with twenty times the explosive force of the Hiroshima bomb at speeds of 15,000 mph. We hear in detail about his training, the testing procedures, security, and how he handled such a huge responsibility.  Tim also describes launching one of these missiles from a test site in the US.

North Korea launching more missiles overnight as tensions rise in the region and the US moves an aircraft carrier closer. Plus, a rise to gas and heating due to a cut of oil production. And, Emilie Ikeda shares some tips on what to do as the holiday bargains begin. 

Trending Middle East brings you the latest social media and search trends from the region and around the world.   On today's episode, Opec+ agrees to slash oil production by 2 million barrels a day in “light of the uncertainty that surrounds the global economic and oil market outlooks, and the need to enhance the long-term guidance for the oil market, and in line with the successful approach of being proactive and pre-emptive”.   North Korea launches two short-range ballistic missiles in the direction of Japan, with the tests coming after joint South Korean and US missile drills and the return of an American aircraft carrier to the region in response to Pyongyang's earlier missile tests.   South Korean cartoonist and visual artist Kim Jung Gi dies of a “sudden” heart attack in Paris aged 47. He held the Guinness World Record for the “longest drawing by an individual”.   And in internet searches, UAE residents look up Prophet Mohammed's birthday, with Saturday, October 8, announced as a holiday for private sector workers in the Emirates to celebrate the occasion.

North Korea launched a missile over Japan today. Should we, as Americans be concerned that it went almost 3,000 miles? What could this mean for us in the future? Nate discussed that and then brought things back to a local level.

North Korea launched a missile over Japan on Tuesday morning, for the first time since 2017.

And, jargon can quickly clog up government documents, making vital information hard to find and difficult to understand. Lawmakers in New Zealand are trying to clear things up with a bill that would require clear, concise communication from the government. Also, living through the trauma of the war in Ukraine has taken an immeasurable toll on people there. Soldiers and civilians alike have been through unspeakable horrors. We hear from a few Ukrainians who are helping people process these traumas. Plus, human tower competitions return to Catalonia after a four-year hiatus.

On today's Watchman Newscast, host Erick Stakelbeck zeroes in on North Korea testing the world's resolve with a major escalation on the nuclear stage. Japan issued a rare alert for residents to take shelter after North Korea conducted its longest-ever weapons test yet. A nuclear-capable ballistic missile that flew over Japan and could reach the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam and beyond. The launch comes amid the rise of a sinister confederation of countries with one common goal, the destruction of America. From Russia to China, Iran and North Korea, the U.S. is facing its most perilous global challenges since WWII. How close is the world to a catastrophic nuclear confrontation?

An unusual ground stop was issued to some pilots for a short period of time following a North American Aerospace Defense Command alert of a launch of a North Korean missile, a US official said Tuesday. The official says it was not a national ground stop and may have been issued by a regional air traffic control facility."No warning was issued by NORAD HQ," regarding a potential threat to the US, according to Captain Pamela Kunze, the chief NORAD spokesperson. The Federal Aviation Administration, responsible for the nation's air traffic control system, and NORAD have not responded to CNN's multiple requests for comment on why some pilots were ordered to land and prevented from taking off from multiple West Coast airports on Monday afternoon, citing a "national ground stop."To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Missed the show? No worries! We've got you covered with the ON Point podcast.  ON this episode, Alex starts off talking with Bruce Hein, a franchise owner of Express Employment Professionals located in Sarnia. They discuss how the constant disruption Ontario students are facing with school closures due to the pandemic are going to hurt their chances at gainful employment in the future. Alex and Bruce talk about what this could mean for future generations, what can be done to avert this, and how this could effect the long-term economy of the province. Next, Alex talks with Marcus Kolga, a Sr. Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and a journalist for DisInfo. They discuss the Chinese government secretly testing a nuclear hypersonic missile that flew around the world and missed its target by less than 20 km. They talk about why China would say it was a space vehicle and not a missile launch, what this could mean for the West, and why the U.S. and Canada are especially worried about this type of missile.  And finally, Alex talks with Ryan O'Connor, a Partner at the Toronto-based Zayouna Law Firm. They discuss the controversial ruling handing down by an Alberta judge to three anti-vaxxers who must now say a disclaimer before the speak on vaccines anymore. Alex and Ryan talk about how this decision is not only rare in Canada, but also possibly a dangerous lean towards compelled speech, why the judge may have decided to add on that stipulation, and what dangers it could mean as a precedent.

Photo:  Hypersonic weapon, demonstrating its non-parabolic trajectory (denoted in red), has a distinctive signature which is being tracked by one of the layers of the National Defense Space Architecture (NDSA) beginning in 2021. Tranche 0 is to begin deployment in 2022. The satellites of the NDSA, in gray, are to be deployed in constellations orbiting Earth, and constantly keep Earth in their view (as depicted by the blue triangles [really, cones] representing the fields of view of the satellite constellations). The satellites are to intercommunicate and serve the defensive systems arrayed against the enemy hypersonic weapons (in red), and build a kill chain against it. Conversely, if a hypersonic weapon were friendly, the satellites follow the progress of the friendly trajectory (not shown), and perform battle damage assessment of the strike against its target.

Today on The Leaders' Brief - Last week, Yemen's Houthi rebels rejected a Saudi initiative to end a six-year-long war that has pushed the country towards economic ruin and a never-ending famine. Strategy experts believe that the Saudi coalition had underestimated Yemen's Shiite political alliance, and instead of emerging victorious, has riled up civil conflict in the country causing immeasurable losses, including over 200,000 deaths and large-scale economic ruin in the next six years. Last month, in a phone call with Saudi King Salman Bin Abdulaziz, US President Joe Biden revisited the Yemen crisis and sought a peace deal. The USA and the UK announced sanctions against a military-owned conglomerate in coup-hit Myanmar last Thursday as the government's brutal crackdowns against protestors continued. Thursday's sanctions against Myanmar Economic Holdings Ltd. could put enormous economic pressure on the country's military. The highly secretive company is an important source of cash-flow for the military and could drain the coup organisers of much needed resources. Announcing the sanctions, the UK's Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said, "Today's sanctions target the military's financial interests to help drain the sources of finance for their campaigns of repression against civilians".  North Korea is back in the news for provocative actions in the Korean peninsula. Last week, the country fired off a pair of cruise missiles during a US secretary of state Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's visit to Asia to discuss security issues. The South Korean Defense Ministry said last Wednesday that the two missiles were fired from South Pyongan province on Sunday which flew over the sea between the Korean peninsula and China into the Sea of Japan. The USA said that the launch was not in violation of US sanctions but the country's National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will host his counterparts from Japan and South Korea this week to discuss and craft a coordinated strategy toward North Korea.  About egomonk: Website | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedInegomonk is a global intelligence platform delivering asymmetric outcomes by bringing organizations closer to the communities they want to serve and the leaders they wish to influence.

North Korean state media on Sunday showed leader Kim Jong Un observing live-fire drills of long-range multiple rocket launchers and what appeared to be a new short-range ballistic missile, a day after South Korea expressed concern that the launches were a violation of an inter-Korean agreement to cease all hostile acts.Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency said Kim expressed "great satisfaction" over Saturday's drills and stressed that his front-line troops should keep a "high alert posture" and enhance combat ability to "defend the political sovereignty and economic self-sustenance of the country."The weapons launches were a likely sign of Pyongyang's growing frustration at stalled diplomatic talks with Washington meant to provide coveted sanctions relief in return for nuclear disarmament. They also highlighted the fragility of the detente between the Koreas, which in a military agreement reached last September vowed to completely cease "all hostile acts" against each other in land, air and sea.South Korea said it's "very concerned" about North Korea's weapons launches, calling them a violation of the agreements to reduce animosities between the countries. The statement, issued after an emergency meeting Saturday of top officials at the presidential Blue House in Seoul, also urged North Korea to stop committing acts that would raise military tensions and join efforts to resume nuclear diplomacy."Praising the People's Army for its excellent operation of modern large-caliber long-range multiple rocket launchers and tactical guided weapons, he said that all the service members are master gunners and they are capable of carrying out duty to promptly tackle any situation," the KNCA paraphrased Kim as saying.  "He stressed the need for all the service members to keep high alert posture and more dynamically wage the drive to increase the combat ability so as to defend the political sovereignty and economic self-sustenance of the country and ... the security of the people from the threats and invasion by any forces."The North's official Rodong Sinmun newspaper published photos that showed Kim, equipped with binoculars, observing tests of different weapons systems, including multiple rocket launchers and what appeared to be a short-range missile fired from a launch vehicle, and also an explosion of what seemed to be a target set on island rocks.Kim Dong-yub, an analyst from Seoul's Institute for Far Eastern Studies, said the North Korean missile appeared to be modeled after Russia's 9K720 Iskander mobile short-range ballistic missile system. The solid-fuel North Korean missile, which was first revealed in a Pyongyang military parade in February, is potentially capable of conducting nuclear strikes on all areas of South Korea, Kim said."The North tried to clearly demonstrate its abilities to strike any target on the Korean Peninsula, including U.S. troops stationed across the country in areas such as Seoul, Pyeongtaek, Daegu and Busan," Kim said.South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said that "several projectiles" had been launched from near the coastal town of Wonsan and that they flew up to 200 kilometers (125 miles) before splashing into the sea toward the northeast. That roughly matched the distance between the area and the South Korean capital of Seoul, although the North in Sunday's report did not issue any direct threat or warning toward the South or the United States. Experts say the North may increase these sorts of low-level provocations to apply pressure on the United States to agree to reduce crushing international sanctions.The launches comes amid a diplomatic breakdown that has followed the failed summit earlier this year between President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un over the North's pursuit of nuclear bombs that can accurately target the U.S. mainland. The North probably has viable shorter-range nuclear armed missiles, but it still needs more tests to perfect its longer-range weapons, according...

Ambassador Joe Detrani is the former U.S. Special Envoy for the Six Party Talks with North Korea. He tells Target USA that Kim Jong Un’s decision to launch a short-range ballistic missile over the weekend was dangerous and shortsighted. It could signal the end any meaningful chance to achieve denuclearization on the Korean peninsula.

North Korea's successful test of its first intercontinental ballistic missile carries grave geopolitical implications for a vast swath of the world. Although such an achievement seemed improbable not long ago, it was all but inevitable. The Hermit Kingdom tested its first nuclear bomb in 2006 and has spent the past decade steadily improving the rockets needed to lob one at its enemies.

Iran fired half-a-dozen ballistic missiles from domestic bases that hit Islamic State targets deep in Syria.  The reason given was to avenge the Islamic State's recent suicide attacks on the Iranian Parliament. Israel is right next door to Syria.  And for decades, Teheran's ruling mullahs have been saying they intend to exterminate the Jews.  So Tel Aviv is feeling the heat. Lest anyone miss the point, Iran's foreign ministry issued a statement saying these launches were a message to Israel, America, and the Saudis. To our knowledge, this was the first-ever battlefield test of an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) in the Mideast. These missiles take just minutes to hit their targets.  So it's hard to over-estimate how alarming a development this truly is. The global media practically goes into paroxysms of alarm over North Korea's IRBM tests -- none of which have actually ever hit a target. Some of them blew up on the launchpad, so nobody knows how close Kim's IRBMs are from actually being operational. Not so for Iran -- which has now successfully demonstrated its ability to annihilate military targets in Israel and Saudi Arabia with missiles fired from inside its territory. Make no mistake, Iran can now devastate Saudi Arabia's oil fields and all of Israel's cities with the push of a button. Look at the following timeline from the past three months and realize that in the previous six years of the Syrian civil war, there was not one instance of direct fighting between the U.S. and Iranian proxies. Now, they clash almost daily. April 4: Syrian President Bashar Assad launched a devastating chemical attack against his own people. April 6: U.S. President Donald Trump responded by firing 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles from the Mediterranean against the Syrian airfield, which marked the first time the U.S. had directly targeted the Assad regime in the Syrian civil war. May 18: A group from the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigade, an Iranian-supported militia, approached the American al-Tanf military base on the border between Syria, Iraq and Jordan and, subsequently, was destroyed by aircraft. May 29: Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units, a massive fighting force of mainly Iranian-backed militias, reached the Syrian border from Iraqi territory for the first time. Pictures were widely circulated in Iranian and Syrian media. June 6: An Iranian-backed militia advanced on the “deconfliction” zone in southern Syria. After repeated warnings to halt, U.S. aircraft destroyed the column of vehicles, including two artillery pieces, an antiaircraft weapon and a tank. June 8: An Iranian drone dropped a munition on U.S. coalition forces near al-Tanf, but it failed to detonate. The U.S. shot down the drone. June 12: Iranian state media released photographs of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force Cmdr. Qassem Suleimani standing on the Iraqi-Syrian border alongside an Iranian-backed militia, culminating a lightning offensive across eastern Syria to reach the border. June 14: The U.S. moved its mobile artillery rocket launchers into southern Syria for the first time in order to provide a 300-kilometer (186-mile) security umbrella for its troops along the border. June 18: The U.S. shot down a Syrian jet for bombing its allies in the most significant ratcheting up of tensions to date. June 18: Iran’s revolutionary guard launched six ballistic missiles toward Syria, travelling 370 miles and receiving permission to fly over Iraqi territory. Gen. Ramazan Sharif told state media that “the Saudis and Americans are especially receivers of the message.” Obviously, this situation in Syria is highly combustible, especially considering that each side does not want to back down. As Mahan Abedin correctly noted in Middle East Monitor on June 6, a clash is “inevitable.” He wrote:
