In this episode of the Massive Passive Cashflow Podcast, I sit down with Mike Zlotnik, widely known as "Big Mike," CEO of TF Management Group, LLC, full-time real estate investor since 2009, and host of the Big Mike Fund Podcast, ranked in the Top 10% of podcasts globally. With a background as a mathematician and tech professional, Mike brings a disciplined, numbers-first approach to real estate investing—focusing on risk-adjusted returns, fund structuring, and predictable income. Mike shares his journey from immigrating to the U.S. from Moldova (formerly part of the USSR), building a 15-year career in technology, and transitioning into full-time real estate investing. After purchasing his first Brooklyn apartment in 2000 and going active in 2009, Mike has gone on to oversee a diverse portfolio of growth-focused and income-producing real estate funds. We take a deep dive into today's macroeconomic environment, including interest rate trends, inflation, and the massive impact of AI on productivity and employment. Mike explains why he is cautiously bullish on the next real estate cycle and how AI is becoming one of the most powerful deflationary forces influencing markets today. Mike also delivers a clear, practical breakdown of the capital stack, including senior debt, mezzanine financing, and preferred equity, explaining how each layer works and how investors can use them strategically in today's tighter lending environment. We explore the real differences between debt vs. equity investing, how to think about private credit, and how to position a portfolio for both current income and long-term appreciation. The conversation also covers today's strongest-performing asset classes, including industrial, open-air retail, and discounted multifamily, along with challenges in self-storage and highly operational niches like car washes and senior living. Mike shares why diversification is critical, what went wrong for many investors during the last multifamily cycle, and how to properly structure portfolios moving forward. Finally, Mike reveals how investors should evaluate syndications vs. funds, why many investors are shifting back to deal-level clarity, and what institutional-quality investor terms look like today. He also shares key red flags to watch for when underwriting both operators and opportunities in today's market. Whether you are an active investor, passive investor, or real estate professional looking to build reliable income with less volatility, this episode is packed with high-level strategy and real-world execution to help you invest with clarity and confidence. What You Will Learn: How Mike transitioned from tech and mathematics into full-time real estate investing And how a data-driven mindset helped him scale intelligently since 2009. Why Mike is cautiously bullish on today's real estate market And how interest rates, inflation, and AI are shaping the next investment cycle. How AI is transforming real estate operations and productivity From legal documents to underwriting, marketing, and strategic planning. A simple breakdown of the capital stack Including senior debt, mezzanine financing, and preferred equity—explained clearly for investors. How to choose between debt and equity in today's market When private credit makes sense—and when long-term equity may be safer. Which asset classes offer the best predictable cash flow today Why industrial and open-air retail continue to outperform—and how multifamily has become a deep-value opportunity again. Why many investors were hurt in the last multifamily cycle And the hard lessons on leverage, overbuilding, and lack of diversification. How to properly evaluate syndications vs. real estate funds Why transparency, operator experience, and clean legacy portfolios matter more than ever. What strong investor terms look like in today's market Why preferred returns and profit splits are now shifting back in favor of investors. How to think like a fund manager—not a gambler Why predictability, conservative leverage, and disciplined operators win long-term.

Ben Brady, CEO of Harcourts Auctions, sits down with Mike “Big Mike” Zlotnik — CEO of TF Management Group and host of the Big Mike Fund Podcast — for a wide-ranging conversation on the trends shaping real estate, private credit, and the broader economy heading into 2026.Mike shares how his journey from Moldova to New York City, combined with a background in mathematics and technology, shaped the analytical lens he now uses to manage real estate funds and evaluate national market cycles. He breaks down why some markets are softening, why others remain surprisingly resilient, and how Wall Street wealth continues to buoy the luxury sector even as affordability hits historic lows.The episode then turns to one of the biggest unknowns in today's economy: the rapid surge of AI investment and whether we're entering a bubble similar to the dot-com era. Mike explains how a correction could ripple into real estate — from capital flows to job stability to long-term demand — and why commercial assets, particularly triple-net industrial and retail redevelopment, may be positioned to benefit either way.You'll also hear Mike's take on the $90 trillion intergenerational wealth transfer, the psychology behind renting vs. owning, and why private credit has exploded as banks have tightened lending. Whether you're a residential agent, a commercial investor, or someone trying to decode the next cycle, this conversation offers clarity on the forces driving the market and the opportunities emerging within them.⏱️ Timestamps & Key Topics[00:00:00] – Introducing Mike “Big Mike” Zlotnik & his investment background[00:02:00] – From Moldova to Manhattan: math, tech & real estate fund management[00:05:00] – NYC real estate: appreciation, cash flow, and political risk[00:08:20] – Why some U.S. markets are declining while others are thriving[00:10:00] – Rent drops in the Sunbelt vs. growth in the Northeast[00:11:40] – How AI investment compares to the 1999 dot-com bubble[00:13:00] – What happens to real estate if a tech bubble bursts[00:15:20] – Opportunities in commercial: cap rates, distress & tailwinds[00:17:00] – The $90T wealth transfer: will younger generations sell real estate?[00:20:00] – Renting vs. owning: affordability, emotion & long-term behavior[00:22:00] – Inside The Big Mike Fund Podcast & how Mike evaluates deals[00:23:30] – Why private credit is booming & where the risk sits[00:25:00] – Triple-net industrial vs. private lending: yield, tax, and stability[00:27:00] – How to approach homeownership in a high-rate environment[00:31:00] – How to invest with Mike & access deal opportunities[00:33:00] – Mike's books, frameworks & upcoming resources

Discuții aprinse în Parlamentul de la Chișinău pe marginea incidentului cu survolarea ilegală a spațiului aerian al Republicii Moldova de către șase drone rusești. Cele mai multe discuții au vizat drona de tip Gerbera, care a aterizat aproape intactă pe acoperișul unei case din nordul țării, fără să provoace pagube. Veronica Gherbovețchi a discutat cu mai mulți parlamentari de la Chișinău. Temele ediției: - Pentru a doua oară în 2025, Președinția a retras cetățenia unor persoane active în Grupul Operativ al Trupelor Ruse (GOTR) din regiunea transnistreană. După un prim caz în iulie — când cinci bărbați au rămas fără cetățenie pentru că s-au înrolat voluntar în structuri militare ruse dislocate ilegal — alte cinci persoane pierd acum cetățenia Moldovei, după ce autoritățile au constatat că aceasta a fost obținută prin încălcarea procedurilor legale. Liliana Barbăroșie are detalii. - Informația despre descoperirea unui arsenal militar într-un camion la vama dintre Republica Moldova și România este folosită deja la Moscova. Purtătoarea de cuvât a minsterului Rus de externe acuză Republica Moldova de trafic de arme. Ce spune Maria Zaharova, aflați de la Vitalie Cojocari, jurnalist Euronews România, în ”Cronica lui Vitalie” - Invitata specială a emisiunii de azi este jurnalista și scriitoarea Paula Eruzanu. Ea este autoarea unei cărți recent apărute la Editura Cartier din Chișinău sub titlul, „Aicea-i și raiul, și iadul”. Cartea surprinde un veac de istorie trăită și povestită de o întreagă galerie de personaje care au traversat istoria recentă a acestui ținut – de la Basarabia parte a Rusiei Țariste la Basarabia românească, de la Uniunea Sovietică la Republica Moldova, de la al doilea război mondial la Afganistan și războiul din Ucraina. Este o colecție de mărturii care, puse una lângă alta, ca un puzzle, alcătuiesc o istorie a locului. Un interviu realizat de Ovidiu Nahoi. - Poziția României în cazul planului de pace pentru Ucraina este de a continua negocierile pentru a ajunge la o pace durabilă. Trebuie să fie luate în calcul și interesele de securitate ale Republicii Moldova, spune ministra de Externe Oana Țoiu. - Estonia va deschide anul viitor o ambasadă la Chișinău. - Parlamentul a adoptat în lectură finală denunțarea acordului care permitea funcționarea în Republica Moldova a centrelor culturale rusești. - Agenția Franceză pentru Dezvoltare (AFD) continuă să susțină Chișinăul în reformele și în agenda de integrare europeană Știrile zilei: Poziția României în cazul planului de pace pentru Ucraina este una clară de a continua negocierile pentru a ajunge la o pace durabilă în timp, a declarat ministra de Externe a României, Oana Țoiu, subliniind că trebuie să fie luate în calcul și interesele de securitate ale Republicii Moldova. „Poziția României, așa cum a fost foarte clar exprimată și de președintele Nicușor Dan, este una clară de a continua negocierile pentru a ajunge la o pace care să fie și durabilă în timp. Trebuie să fim atenți și la interesele de securitate ale Republicii Moldova, pentru că acest punct pentru România este extrem de important și stabilitatea regiunii noastre depinde de asta”, a afirmat Oana Țoiu, în Parlament, transmite Agerpres. *** Estonia va deschide o ambasadă în Republica Moldova anul viitor. „Moldova se află deja pe calea aderării la Uniunea Europeană, dar putem face și mai mult pentru a o sprijini”, a afirmat ministrul de externe al Estoniei, Margus Tsahkna, citat de un comunicat de presă al Externelor de la Chișinău. „O veste foarte bună pentru țara noastră!”, a declarat ministrul de externe Mihai Popșoi. „Estonia este un partener important al Republicii Moldova, oferind sprijin în diverse domenii, în special integrarea europeană, e-guvernare, securitate cibernetică și educație”. *** Parlamentul a adoptat în lectură finală denunțarea acordului care permitea funcționarea în Republica Moldova a centrelor culturale rusești. Astfel, Centrul Rus de Știință și Cultură din Chișinău ar putea fi închis în vara anului 2026, scrie TV8. Ministrul de Externe Mihai Popșoi a declarat că următoarea etapă este semnarea decretului de către președinta Maia Sandu, după care autoritățile ruse vor fi informate că acordul nu va fi prelungit. Înțelegerea expiră în vară, iar legislația prevede notificarea cu 6 luni înainte, întrucât acordul nu poate fi denunțat unilateral. Centrul Cultural Rus este administrat direct de Ambasada Federației Ruse la Chișinău și beneficiază de finanțare din partea Agenției Ruse Rossotrudnicestvo, care este subordonată direct președinției ruse. Această agenție a fost inclusă în sancțiuni internaționale și a fost desemnată de Uniunea Europeană drept „principala entitate de stat responsabilă de promovarea puterii soft a Kremlinului și a influenței sale hibride, inclusiv prin susținerea conceptului denumit „Russkiy Mir”, „Lumea rusă”. *** Parlamentul a aprobat rectificarea bugetului de stat pentru anul curent, principalele modificări vizează redistribuirea banilor pentru acoperirea necesităților salariale ale angajaților din sectorul bugetar, alocarea fondurilor pentru compensarea facturilor la energie electrică pentru populație, precum și alte măsuri sociale, se arată într-un comunicat. Conform Bugetului rectificat, deficitul bugetar constituie 5,2 % din PIB. *** Agenția Franceză pentru Dezvoltare (AFD) va continua să susțină Republica Moldova în reformele necesare cetățenilor și agendei de integrare europeană, au dat asigurări directorul regional al Agenției, Mathieu Vasseur, și ambasadoarea Franței în Republica Moldova, Dominique Waag, în cadrul unei întrevederi pe care au avut-o cu prim-ministrul Alexandru Munteanu. Agenția Franceză pentru Dezvoltare (AFD) oferă Republicii Moldova sprijin în domeniul energetic - proiectul INSPIREE, care este o inițiativă pentru dezvoltarea infrastructurii publice sustenabile prin renovări pentru eficiență energetică, presupune renovarea energetică a 30 de clădiri publice, dintre care 16 instituții de învățământ superior și 14 spitale raionale. De rezultatele proiectului vor beneficia circa 200 de mii de cetățeni, iar economiile estimate vor fi de 2 milioane de euro anual. Un alt proiect, în valoare de 25 milioane de euro, ține de creșterea utilizării energiei verzi în Republica Moldova, eficiența energetică și protecția consumatorilor. De asemenea, Agenția va finanța proiecte de reabilitare a sistemelor de irigații în valoare de peste 44 milioane de euro. Oficialii s-au mai referit la susținerea acordată de AFD în sectorul de aprovizionare cu apă și canalizare, împădurire, protecție socială, inovare și antreprenoriat. Alte priorități țin de reformarea justiției, consolidarea statului de drept și atragerea investițiilor franceze în economia națională. Un oficiu al Agenției Franceze pentru Dezvoltare a fost deschis la Chișinău în februarie 2022. Grupul AFD a devenit principalul partener financiar al Guvernului moldovean și al Comisiei Europene pentru pilonul de investiții al Planului de Creștere, de 1,9 miliarde de euro, oferit Republicii Moldova de UE. *** Consiliul Concurenței a amendat firma olandeză care operează aplicația rusească de taxi Yandex Go cu aproape 800 de mii de lei moldovenești, echivalentul a 40 mii euro, pentru refuzul de a oferi autorităților informații despre felul în care este folosită aplicația de taxi. „Solicitările de informații reprezintă un instrument esențial pentru colectarea probelor necesare în investigațiile privind posibile încălcări ale legislației concurențiale. Consiliul Concurenței are dreptul de a solicita întreprinderilor furnizarea promptă și completă a documentelor sau informațiilor relevante, indiferent de formatul acestora”, se arată în comunicatul de presă. De-a lungul timpului au existat multe suspiciuni legate de faptul că Yandex Taxi ar transmite datele utilizatorilor din Republica Moldova în Federația Rusă.
Day 1,372.Today, as Thanksgiving is marked in the United States – and supposedly the day by which Ukraine was meant to agree to a peace deal, a deadline Donald Trump has now walked back – Russia denies leaking the phone call in which Steve Witkoff coached Vladimir Putin's top aides on how to flatter the former president. We assess whether Marco Rubio's apparent demand – that a peace deal be signed before the US grants Ukraine any security guarantees – is remotely deliverable. We also report on how Moldovan authorities attempted to return a Russian drone that violated their airspace. And later, we hear from the Ukrainian public, and gauge their reaction to this week's extraordinary developments.ContributorsDominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.With thanks to Svitlana Morenets, columnist at the Spectator.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

How are enlargement reforms unfolding on the ground and what drives progress or stagnation? The 2025 Enlargement Package presents a mixed picture: Ukraine and Moldova are racing ahead, while Serbia and Georgia are lagging. The EU itself is struggling with internal divisions and reform fatigue.This episode of The World Stage is part of The Neighbourhood series from the NUPI-led project Re-engage, produced by ECFR and co-published by ECFR and NUPI. In this episode, ECFR's Jessica Hendrick is joined by Tiago Antunes, senior policy fellow with ECFR's European Power programme, Leo Litra, visiting fellow at ECFR and senior fellow at Kyiv's New Europe Center and Engjellushe Morina, senior policy fellow with ECFR's European Security programme. Together, they discuss what this year's enlargement report says about political will, institutional resilience and the everyday impact of enlargement.How can the EU make conditionality more credible?

//The Wire//2300Z November 25, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: GDP DATA TO NOT BE RELEASED FOR Q3 2025. CORRUPTION CONTINUES IN MINNEAPOLIS. KHALISTAN REFERENDUM VOTE CAUSES CONCERN IN CANADA. PEACE TALKS MAKE GOOD PROGRESS IN UKRAINE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Peace talks continue between the United States and Russia. The White House has stated that so far, all sides have agreed to the bulk of the plan as written, however a few details still remain to work out. Otherwise, the war continues on, with a series of drone attacks being carried out by Russia overnight, some of which flew all the way to Moldova and Romania.Analyst Comment: The peace talks are closer to a deal than in recent memory, though as always some minor detail can derail things at the last minute. Even so, all sides confirm that pretty much all of the highly-controversial items have reached a point of agreement, so as it stands the major hurdles have been cleared regarding the signing of a peace deal.Canada: Yesterday the Khalistan Referendum vote was carried out nationwide, which resulted in terrorism concerns due to demonstrations present at polling places. This vote has come about as the Sikh community in Canada has desired the creation of a Sikh-only district (Khalistan) back in India, due to their cultural differences in India with other groups. As such, this vote was not anything organized by the Canadian government (none of these polling places were legitimate), this was purely a private endeavor to hold a non-binding vote on whether or not to create a new autonomous district within India.Analyst Comment: Beyond the obvious concerns with a diaspora being large enough to hold a vote on a district in another country entirely, the main issue is that this entire affair was organized by Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who is an activist currently characterized as a terrorist back in India. Many instances were reported of threats being chanted at voting events, which was cause for concern as the social issue of Sikh independence is a very vitriolic internal issue in India itself, which has now transitioned to Canada. Roughly 53,000 Sikhs are estimated to have participated in the vote.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - The White House announced yesterday afternoon that the GDP report for the third quarter of 2025 will also not be released, along with the jobs report and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for October. The reason provided by the White House is the same as the other reports which will not be released, namely that the government shutdown prevented accurate data from being collected.Analyst Comment: At this point, anything to do with the economy is either speculation or gambling, however these excuses are flimsy at best. Not releasing critical economic indicator data is being perceived as covering up something, so either way, it's probably not a positive indicator for the status of the economy.Chicago: The victim of the immolation attack from a few days ago has been identified as Bethany MaGee. She survived the attack and remains in critical condition, with severe burns affecting over half her body.Minnesota: Yesterday a judge overturned the conviction of Abdifatah Yusuf, who was convicted by a jury of gross Medicaid fraud for stealing roughly $7.2 million from the healthcare system, by running many different healthcare companies out of his residential address, all of which were fraudulent. The jury agreed with the prosecution in that he was clearly running a Medicaid overbilling scam, and he was convicted as such. Despite the overwhelming evidence that resulted in his conviction, Judge Sarah West threw out the jury's verdict, and acquitted Yusef herself.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: This case might shed some light on exactly how widespread fraud is in Minneapolis. Even when convicted b

The source is an excerpt from a faith-based podcast featuring a guest speaker, Philip Cameron, who shares a powerful message encouraging listeners to shift their focus from personal need to giving and helping others. Cameron introduces his ministry, Orphan's Hands, which rescues children from trafficking and orphanages in places like Moldova and Ukraine, emphasizing that he immediately teaches these vulnerable children to give to others to break their "orphan spirit." The speaker uses historical analogies, such as Winston Churchill's use of pots and pans during World War II, and personal anecdotes, including the story of his own adoption of a son from a Romanian orphanage, to illustrate the difference between the devil's "plots" and God's superior "plans." Finally, he makes an appeal for financial support to finish a new Promise House facility dedicated to rescuing younger children.

The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will be moving up a gear from 2026 when EU importers are expected to purchase and surrender CBAM certificates to cover the embedded emissions of imported carbon-intensive goods.Regulations will impact Energy Community contracting parties such as Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia and the West Balkans countries either through their exports of electricity or other energy-intensive products. ICIS journalist Aura Sabadus has spoken to Peter Pozsgai, lead of the CBAM Readiness Task Force at the Energy Community, to understand the exact implications for both EU importers and Energy Community contracting parties.
On Tuesday's "Sound of Ideas, we'll explore the health insurance landscape, and why those who buy their insurance from the Affordable Care Act marketplace are seeing major spikes. Then, we will talk about public corruption and its impact. It's the focus of a cross-cultural dialogue happening in Cleveland this week. Health insurance premiums are rising nationwide The longest federal government shutdown in history finally ended last week after 43 days, but the matter at the center of the shutdown remains unresolved over the fate of the Affordable Care Act tax credits that help make health care more accessible for those buying insurance on their own through the marketplace. An extension of those tax credits was not included in President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," approved by lawmakers in July, so those subsidies are set to expire at the end of the year. A Senate vote has been promised for later this year as part of the deal to end the shutdown, but if there are no changes, millions of Americans are at risk of seeing very large spikes in their premiums or even losing insurance, if they can't afford it. On Tuesday's "Sound of Ideas," we're going to talk to experts about the cost of insurance going up for people on the marketplace, and even for those on employer plans. We'll also hear from people impacted by those costs and ask — where do we go from here? Guests: - Jaclyn Shlapack, Lorain Resident - Kathleen Cooke, Senior Vice President of Employee Benefits, CBIZ - Taylor Wizner, Health Reporter, Ideastream Public Media - Emma Wager, Senior Policy Analyst, Program on the ACA, KFF Public corruption impacts economies and public trust It's estimated that trillions of dollars that would benefit the public are lost each year due to public corruption including bribery, embezzlement, money laundering and tax evasion. Developed and emerging nations both must confront public corruption and the impact it can have on institutions and public trust. Tuesday in Cleveland, the topic of corruption and how to address it will be the focus of a panel discussion at the annual meeting of the Council for International Programs USA. It's a nonprofit organization founded in Cleveland by Dr. Henry Ollendorf, a Jewish refugee, to help train German social workers after World War II. The organization has grown globally with a mission to promote international understanding through professional development and cross-cultural exchange programs. The meeting and panel discussion will be hosted by the law firm of Jones Day. Among those taking part in the panel will be a delegation of prosecutors from the Romanian National Anticorruption Directorate brought to the United States by the Congressional Office of International Leadership to give emerging leaders from post-Soviet states firsthand exposure to the U.S. system of participatory democracy and free enterprise. The Council of International Programs USA will be recognized at the meeting by the Congressional Office of International Leadership for its decades of hosting international delegations in Cleveland and other U.S. cities. Guests: - Justin Herdman, former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio - Veronica Dragalin, former Chief Prosecutor, Anti-corruption Prosecution Office, Republic of Moldova

In 1991, as the USSR broke apart and its population became open to the reforming discourse of Mikhail Gorbachev's reform program of perestroika, Soviet dissident historian Roy Medvedev set the tone for subsequent writing on Leonid Ilich Brezhnev, concluding that he was “a personality so mediocre and a politician so ordinary” that he “quickly disappeared from the political scene and also in the literal and metaphorical sense.” But not for long. When it became clear by the end of the decade that market capitalism and democracy had not improved people's lives, nostalgia for the Brezhnev era rightly raised the question of whether he had been given his just due and unfairly blamed for the shortcomings of the Soviet system. This reversal of fortune also makes clear that no Soviet leader has been as neglected or as misunderstood as Brezhnev and therefore no Soviet party boss is in such need of a fresh historical reassessment. Divided into two parts, my presentation will first make a case for Brezhnev, emphasizing his vision of guaranteeing stability, assuring peace, and letting people live well. Earlier I coined the term “Soviet man of peace,” to characterize Brezhnev. I emphasize this point here, arguing that his dream of wanting to be remembered as an asset for world peace made him a leader who changed the world. In part 2 of my presentation, I zoom in on the Leonid Brezhnev that, as his biographer, I might never know and propose what these unresolved questions might mean. Donald J. Raleigh is the Jay Richard Judson Distinguished Professor of Russian History Emeritus at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He has authored, translated, and edited numerous books on modern Russian history including Revolution on the Volga (1986), Experiencing Russia's Civil War (2002), Russia's Sputnik Generation (2006) and Soviet Baby Boomers (2012). He currently is writing a biography of Soviet leader Leonid Ilich Brezhnev, research for which has taken him to archives in Russia, Moldova, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, the UK, and the US.

(DW) Iulian Fota: Cea mai mare problemă a noii strategii de securitate e că nu face referire la o posibilă agresiune militară a Rusiei - Interviu (SpotMedia) Documentul, care poate fi consultat pe site-ul președinției, consacră termenul de independență solidară, vorbește pe larg despre războiul hibrid și subliniază încă o dată importanța apartenenței României la structurile NATO și Uniunea Europeană. Lipsește prezentarea unei viziuni despre ce se va întâmpla în situația în care țara noastră va fi victima unui atac militar. Iulian Fota, expert în probleme de siguranță națională, fost consilier prezidențial, într-o discuție cu Spotmedia.ro, laudă inițiativa lui Nicușor Dan de a pune în dezbatere publică noua strategie națională de securitate a României. E pentru prima dată în istoria recentă când un președinte face un astfel de gest, solicitând opiniei publice reacții și puncte de vedere în raport cu un document vital pentru statul român. EXCLUSIV Acordul pentru Justiție propus de Înalta Curte a fost asumat de Lia Savonea, nu de Adunarea Generală a judecătorilor supremi (G4Media) ”Acordul pentru justiție și stabilitate instituțională” a fost asumat de către șefa Instanței Supreme, Lia Savonea, nu de către Adunarea generală a judecătorilor ÎCCJ, a confirmat chiar Lia Savonea pentru G4Media.ro. Documentul, prin care se cer mai mulți bani pentru magistrați, a fost propus de Înalta Curte de Casație și Justiție (ÎCCJ) în contextul întâlnirii de la Palatul Cotroceni dintre magistrați și reprezentanții Executivului și ai Coaliției. Întâlnirea a fost mediată de președintele României, Nicușor Dan. Șefa ÎCCJ susține că este atributul președintelui Instanței Supreme să reprezinte puterea judecătorească în astfel de contexte de negociere cu celelate puteri ale statului privind chestiuni de ordin financiar în condițiile în care ÎCCJ, nu CSM, este ordonatorul principal de credite pentru instanțele de judecată. Se vede o luminiţă: economia României dă primele semne de revenire în ciuda pesimismului cvasitotal. Industria are cea mai bună creştere din ultimul an, iar exporturile cresc (Ziarul Financiar) În septembrie 2025, producţia industrială a crescut faţă de luna august 2025 cu 1,1%. Faţă de luna septembrie 2024, producţia industrială a fost mai mare cu 2,6%. În primele nouă luni din an, an/an, producţia industrială a scăzut cu 1%. Dar căderea trebuie pusă pe sema seama primelor luni din an. Uşor-uşor, industria care reprezintă 20% din PIB şi-a revenit. Creşterea este timidă, dar nu mai este o scădere. Datele INS, citate de ZF, arată şi o evoluţie bună a exporturilor. În septembrie 2025, exporturile au crescut cu 9% faţă septembrie 2024. Septembrie a fost cea mai bună lună pentru exporturi din acest an. Asta arată că, în ciuda pesimismului general, „Dracul nu e chiar atât de negru”, cum se spune în popor, când poporul vrea să-şi întărească inima. Dilema investitorului – de ce să alegi România? Studiu de caz compania Aquila: (CursDeGuvernare) 50% din profit îi ia statul român, prin impozite, celui mai mare distribuitor de bunuri român, companie care în Ungaria plătește 9%, iar în R. Moldova 12%. Atractivitatea României ca destinație investițională este afectată grav de impozitul minim pe cifra de afaceri (IMCA). Exemplul acestei companii arată că gradul ridicat de impozitare din România față de țările din regiune, mult peste cota standard actuală de 16% a impozitării profitului (majorată la 19% din 2026), este cauzat de impozitul minim pe cifra de afaceri (IMCA) a companiilor cu afaceri mai mari de 50 de mil. euro, aplicat din 2024 de Guvernul României cu motivul explicit de a bloca ”transferurile de profit ale multinaționalelor”.

Semnificațiile vizitei noului premier moldovean la București. „Este locul ideal pentru a-și calibra mesajele, prioritățile și tonul" (Adevărul) Vizita premierului moldovean la București a confirmat orientarea pro-europeană a Chișinăului. Liderii români au reafirmat sprijinul pentru integrarea în UE, energie și infrastructură, iar expertul Nicolae Tibrigan explică în ziarul Adevărul mizele politice, presiunile rusești și vulnerabilitățile Moldovei. Opinie: Republica Moldova vrea un reactor de la Cernavodă? (DW) România este și rămâne partenerul strategic și cel mai apropiat susținător al R. Moldova, a spus ieri premierul Ilie Bolojan după discuțiile pe care le-a avut cu noul șef al guvernului de la Chișinău, Alexandru Munteanu. Șeful cabinetului de la Chișinău și-a început declarațiile de la Palatul Victoria spunând că „Moldova a reușit în acești ani, datorită sprijinului românesc și european, să nu mai depindă de gazul rusesc” și chiar mai mult, R. Moldova „a devenit dintr-un consumator vulnerabil, un partener regional activ” și „un partener cheie” în coridorul vertical de gaze care conectează Grecia, Bulgaria, România, Moldova și Ucraina. În mod neașteptat, primul-ministru moldovean a declarat că țara sa vrea să ia parte la construcția unui reactor de la Centrala Nucleară de la Cernavodă. Acolo funcționează primele două reactoare, în vreme ce unitățile 3 și 4 sunt în lucru. România a mai discutat serios despre investiții străine la Cernavodă doar cu Beijingul pe vremea când era Victor Ponta Premier, iar ulterior cu Statele Unite despre contrucția unor minireactoare. O investiție a R. Moldova la Cernavodă e însă ceva nou: o formulă prin care cele două state ar putea deveni mai apropiate, prin care R.Moldova ar avea asigurată suficientă energie pentru consumul țării de la un singur reactor. Deocamdată nu e nimic sigur, dar nu există motive pentru respingerea acestei propuneri, cu toate că un risc tot există, dacă la următoarele alegeri, de pildă, ar veni formațiuni pro-ruse la conducerea țării, scrie jurnalista Sabina Fati, corespondenta DW la București.
În cadrul primei sale vizite externe, noul prim-ministrul moldovean Alexandru Munteanu a transmis joi la București un mesaj de recunoștință pentru sprijinul României în integrarea europeană a Republicii Moldova. Vicepremierul Vladimir Bolea, ministru al infrastructurii, a acordat un interviu în studioul RFI, în care a vorbit despre proiectele în derulare sau în pregătire cu România, care vor transforma în următorii ani frontiera moldo-română într-un șantier care să unească cele două maluri ale Prutului. Temele ediției: - Cum a fost văzută de la București vizita prim-ministrului moldovean, ne spune analistul Radu Magdin, într-un interviu acordat Larisei Bernaschi. - Republica Moldova și România au o relație istorică și culturală deosebit de importantă. Acest lucru este repetat insistent de politicienii de la Chișinău și de la București. Dar există riscul ca relația de frăție să fie distrusă? De ce anume? Ne explică jurnalistul Euronews România, Vitalie Cojocari în Cronica lui Vitalie”. - La Chișinău, Parlamentul a început denunțarea acordului cu Rusia privind funcționarea centrelor culturale rusești. Opoziția pro-rusă a criticat inițiativa guvernării. O corespondență de la Valeria Vițu. - Banca Națională a Moldovei estimează o inflație medie anuală de 7,7%, cu un procent peste intervalul țintă, dar cu prognoze de scădere la 4,3 la sută pentru anul viitor. - Aeroportul Internațional Chișinău va cumpăra de la Lukoil infrastructura pentru depozitarea carburanților de la aeroport. - Poliția anunță percheziții și capturi într-o schemă de contrabandă cu țigări transportate cu trenul Chișinău-București. Știrile zilei: Noul prim-ministru moldovean Alexandru Munteanu a făcut joi o primă vizită externă, alegând ca destinație Bucureștiul. Săptămâna viitoare, marți, 18 noiembrie, Alexandru Munteanu merge la Bruxelles. Vizitele reflectă prioritățile pe care le are Republica Moldova – relațiile frățești cu România și integrarea în Uniunea Europeană. *** În septembrie, rata anuală a inflaţiei în Republica Moldova a coborât la 6,9%, ceea ce reprezintă un semnal pozitiv pentru economie şi investiţii, potrivit șefei BNM, Anca Dragu. Potrivit datelor BNM, rata anuală a inflației a scăzut de la 8,2%, cât era în luna iunie, la 6,9%, în luna septembrie 2025. Specialiştii băncii centrale anticipează că inflația va reveni în intervalul țintă, adică sub 6,5% pe an, începând cu primul trimestru al anului 2026. Prognozele BNM estimează o inflație medie anuală de 7,7% pentru acest an și de 4,3% pentru anul viitor. Şefa BNM a atras atenția și asupra faptului că economia începe să revină pe un trend pozitiv, după câțiva ani de declin din cauza impactului războiului din Ucraina asupra economiei Republicii Moldova. Produsul intern brut a înregistrat o creștere de 1,1% în trimestrul al doilea al acestui an. *** Președintele Parlamentului, Igor Grosu, a anunțat joi că Aeroportul Internațional Chișinău va cumpăra infrastructura pentru depozitarea carburanților de la aeroport, care aparține filialei locale a companiei ruse Lukoil. Termenul limită pentru ca Lukoil să accepte oferta statului este luni, 17 noiembrie, având în vedere că sancțiunile americane intră în vigoare pe 21 noiembrie. Republica Moldova a fost pusă în fața unor dificultăți majore odată cu anunțarea sancțiunilor americane, din cauza cotei mari de piață pe care o deține Lukoil și a faptului că multe instituții ale statului se alimentează cu combustibil de la furnizorul rus. Cea mai dificilă situație este la Aeroportul Chișinău, unde Lukoil este singurul furnizor. Autoritățile moldovene dau însă asigurări ca problema aeroportului va fi depășită odată cu preluarea de către stat a infrastructurii de aprovizionare cu kerosen a avioanelor. *** Un grup criminal organizat, din care fac parte și angajați ai Întreprinderii de Stat „Calea Ferată din Moldova”, a fost documentat de poliție pentru contrabandă cu țigarete, folosind ruta feroviară Chișinău–București, anunța un comunicat al Poliției. Au fost efectuate percheziții la domiciliile persoanelor vizate, în depoul de locomotive și vagoane din Chișinău, precum și în trenul de pe cursa Chișinău–București. „În urma acțiunilor a fost depistată o cantitate de peste 120 de mii de țigarete, ascunse și pregătite pentru a fi transportate prin contrabandă”, anunță Poliția. *** Republica Moldova va procura manuale de matematică din Estonia, care vor fi traduse și adaptate pentru elevii din clasele I–XII. Achiziția se va face cu suportul Uniunii Europene. Ministrul Educației, Dan Perciun, spune că până în 2027 va fi finalizat și noul curriculum școlar, inspirat din modelul estonian, transmite Radio Moldova. Oficialul recunoaște că sunt discipline la care Republica Moldova, citez, „nu știe încă să facă manuale”, motiv pentru care Ministerul a decis să renunțe la „experimentele locale”. Chișinăul este în proces de revizuire a curriculumului național, iar reforma are scopul „de a transforma educația într-un proces relevant pentru realitatea cotidiană, capabil să dezvolte gândirea critică și creativitatea elevilor”. Ministrul Educației a precizat că vor fi introduse mai multe discipline noi, precum educația financiară, educația pentru societate, educația media și pentru sănătate – domenii tot mai solicitate pe piața muncii și necesare pentru viața de zi cu zi, despre care, spune Dan Perciun, școala „a vorbit prea puțin până acum”. *** Republica Moldova va introduce peste un an, la început de 2027, sistemul de depozit pentru ambalaje, pentru a încuraja reciclarea. Sistemul presupune o garanție de 2 lei moldovenești, sumă echivalentă cu cei 50 de bani cât constituie garanția în România, la cumpărarea băuturilor în ambalaje de plastic, sticlă sau aluminiu, care va putea fi recuperată prin returnarea ulterioară. Autoritățile estimează că noul sistem, care funcționează deja în majoritatea statelor europene, va permite colectarea a 55% din ambalajele de sticlă și 60% din cele din plastic și metal. In doar trei ani, rata de colectare ar urma să atingă şi 80%.

Pagājušajā reizē raidījumā Divas puslodes runājām par Savienoto Valstu prezidenta Donalda Trampa turneju pa Āzijas valstīm, piebilstot, ka priekšā ir gaidītākā tikšanās ar Ķīnas prezidentu Sji Dziņpinu. Kādi ir šīs tikšanās rezultāti un ko tas nozīmē pārējai pasaulei un mums visiem? Cita vērā ņemama ziņa saistās ar Nīderlandi. Tur notika ārkārtas parlamenta vēlēšanas, un to rezultāti ir citādi nekā vēl pirms gada. Labējai Brīvības partijai, kuras rīcība izprovocēja šo notikumu, vēlētāju izvēli ir likusi vilties. Iespējams, ka ārkārtas vēlēšanas būs arī Serbijā. Tur pēc ļoti plašiem protestiem prezidents Aleksandars Vučičs meklē iespējas mazināt sabiedrības neapmierinātību. Serbijā šajās dienās pieminēja traģēdijas gadadienu, kad Novisadas pilsētā sabruka dzelzceļa nojume, nogalinot 16 cilvēkus. Notikumus komentē Latvijas Transatlantiskās organizācijas ģenerālsekretāre, Latvijas Universitātes pasniedzēja Sigita Struberga, Latvijas Universitātes pasniedzējs politologs Andis Kudors un Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūta pētniece Una Aleksandra Bērziņa-Čerenkova. Un vēl viens temats. Savienotajās Valstīs 4.novembrī vairākos štatos, arī Ņujorkā, cilvēki devās pie vēlēšanu urnām. Rezultāti nav Donaldam Trampam labvēlīgi. Ko tas liecina par noskaņojumu Amerikā? „Lielo zēnu” skaidrošanās Pagājušajā ceturtdienā, 30. oktobrī, pienāca globāli sengaidīts notikums – prezidentu Donalda Trampa un Sji Dziņpina tikšanās, pirmā Savienoto Valstu līdera otrās kadences laikā. Aizvadītie mēneši, kas pagājuši abu superlielvaru tirdzniecības kara apstākļos, padara šo samitu nozīmīgu ne tikai Vašingtonai un Pekinai, ciktāl šī cīkstēšanās ekonomiski iespaido visu pasauli. Abu šīs pasaules vareno samits notika Dienvidkorejas pilsētā Pusanā un noslēdza Baltā nama saimnieka iespaidīgo piecu dienu Austrumāzijas tūri. Tās laikā viņš apmeklēja Malaiziju, kur piedalījās ASEAN organizācijas samitā, pēc tam viesojās Japānā un Dienvidkorejā. Kas attiecas uz Trampa un Sji tikšanos, eksperti atzīmē, ka tā bijusi pat pārsteidzoši īsa – vien stunda un četrdesmit minūtes; un tas, visdrīzāk, liecinot, ka runāts tikai par to, par ko jau iepriekš panāktas principiālas vienošanās. Kopumā sarunu rezultāts tiek raksturots kā „pamiers” tirdzniecības karā ar termiņu uz vienu gadu. Savienotās valstis piekritušas samazināt uz pusi to tarifa daļu importam no Ķīnas, kas tika noteikta kā sankcija par Ķīnā ražotās narkotiskās vielas fentanila kontrabandu uz Savienotajām Valstīm. Savukārt Pekina apņēmusies aktīvāk apkarot šo kontrabandu. Kopējais tarifs Ķīnas ražojumu importam tādējādi samazināsies no 57 uz 47 procentiem. Ķīnas tarifs amerikāņu preču importam 32 procentu apmērā paliks nemainīgs. Pekina piekritusi neieviest ierobežojumus piecu retzemju elementu eksportam uz ASV, kamēr ierobežojumi septiņām citām šīs kategorijas izejvielām, kas noteikti jau iepriekš, paliek spēkā. Tāpat Ķīna apņēmusies atsākt amerikāņu sojas pupiņu importu. Savukārt no prezidenta Trampa puses esot saņemti Pekinai cerīgi signāli, ka iespējama ierobežojumu mīkstināšana mākslīgā intelekta attīstībai svarīgo jaunākās paaudzes mikroshēmu eksportam uz Ķīnu; šos ierobežojumus noteica prezidenta Baidena administrācija. Protams, ne mazāka interese kā par tirdzniecības karu aizvadītās tikšanās sakarā ir interese par karu tiešā nozīmē – kā jau notiekošu, tā iespējamu. Kas attiecas uz iespējamu Ķīnas iebrukumu Taivānā, tas, kā pēc tikšanās apgalvoja Donalds Tramps, sarunās neesot pat pieminēts. Par Krievijas agresiju pret Ukrainu gan esot runāts, pie tam Ķīnas līderis solījis sastrādāties ar Vašingtonu, lai vairotu miera iespējamību. Grūti gan spriest, kā tas varētu izpausties. Tiek lēsts, ka gandrīz visas abu karojošo pušu kaujas lidrobotiem izmantotās mikroshēmas un optiskais kabelis ir ražots Ķīnā, Pekina patiešām varētu būt vienīgais spēks šai pasaulē, kas varētu reāli pieslāpēt karadarbību, pārtraucot šo sastāvdaļu piegādi karojošajām pusēm. Nekas gan neliecina, ka tā varētu notikt. Vēlēšanu rezultāti Nīderlandē Kārtējām parlamenta vēlēšanām Nīderlandē bija jānotiek 2028. gadā, taču premjerministra Dika Shofa vadītās koalīcijas valdības izjukšana šī gada jūnijā un citas koalīcijas izveides neiespējamība noteica to, ka nīderlandiešu elektorātam jau otro reizi pēc kārtas bija jābalso ārkārtas vēlēšanās. Demisionējušo kabinetu bezpartejiskā premjera Shofa vadībā izdevās izveidot gandrīz astoņus mēnešus pēc iepriekšējām vēlēšanām, kurās izcilus panākumus guva radikāli labējā, populistiskā „Partija brīvībai” ar Gērtu Vildersu priekšgalā. Koalīciju ar šiem radikāļiem piekrita veidot konservatīvi liberālā „Tautas partija brīvībai un demokrātijai”, lauku labējo populistu partija „Zemnieku pilsoņu kustība” un kristīgi demokrātiskā partija „Jaunais sociālais līgums”. Tomēr mērenāko koalīcijas partneru nostādnes izrādījās grūti savienojamas ar Vildersa partijas pieeju imigrācijas jautājumos, kas paģērēja pilnīgu moratoriju patvēruma meklētāju uzņemšanai. Šajās vēlēšanās labējo radikāļu cerības nepiepildījās – vairāk nekā ceturtdaļa vēlētāju balsu un, attiecīgi, 11 no 37 deputātu mandātiem „Partija brīvībai” gājuši zudībā. Vietu skaita ziņā Vildersa partiju panākusi kreisi centriskā, sociālliberālā partija „Demokrāti 66”. Ļoti nozīmīgi savas pozīcijas parlamentā uzlabojusi arī konservatīvā partija „Kristīgi demokrātiskais aicinājums”, un divas galēji labējās partijas – „JA21” (saīsinājums no nosaukuma „Pareizā atbilde – 21”) un „Forums demokrātijai”. Daļu mandātu zaudējot, tomēr lielāko partiju pirmajā četriniekā joprojām ir „Tautas partija brīvībai un demokrātijai” un agrākā eirokomisāra Fransa Timmermansa vadītā „Zaļo kreiso” un „Darba partijas” alianse, nozīmīgākais kreisais spēks parlamentā. Tā kā Nīderlandes vēlēšanu sistēma neparedz balsu skaita slieksni iekļūšanai parlamentā, tur ir vēl astoņas mazākas partijas ar mandātu skaitu no viena līdz četriem. Visloģiskākais koalīcijas modelis būtu plaša ap centru veidota kombinācija, kurā centriskie „Demokrāti 66” vienotos ar labējākajām partijām Kristīgi demokrātiskais aicinājums un Tautas partija brīvībai un demokrātijai no vienas, un kreiso Darba partijas un Zaļo kreiso aliansi no otras puses. Tomēr savilkt kopā šī politiski visai plašā spektra daļas nebūt nav vienkāršs uzdevums, tāpēc valdības izveide atkal var prasīt vairākus mēnešus. Eiropas Savienības paplašināšanās „telesamits” 4. novembrī Briselē risinājās savdabīgs notikums – telekanāls „EuroNews” bija pulcinājis uz samitu telekameru priekšā sešu Eiropas Savienības kandidātvalstu vadītājus, kā arī Eiropadomes priekšsēdētāju Antoniu Koštu un eirokomisāri paplašināšanās jautājumos, Slovēnijas pārstāvi Martu Kosu. Kandidātvalstis klātienē pārstāvēja Moldovas prezidente Maija Sandu, Serbijas prezidents Aleksandars Vučičs, Ziemeļmaķedonijas premjerministrs Hristijans Mickoskis un Melnkalnes ārlietu un Eiropas lietu vicepremjers Filips Ivanovičs, savukārt Ukrainas prezidents Volodimirs Zelenskis un Albānijas premjerministrs Edi Rama pieslēdzās samitam tiešsaistē. Notikums bija salāgots ar Eiropas Komisijas ziņojuma par kandidātvalstu iestāšanās procesa virzību publiskošanu, un tajā telekameru fokusā nonāca kandidātvalstu specifiskās problēmas, kuras citādi grūti izlobāmas no politisko dokumentu sausajām rindām. Protams, ar citiem nesalīdzināmas tās ir Ukrainai, kuras vēlme pievienoties Eiropas Savienībai bija galvenais iemesls Krievijas agresijai, kuru Ukraina izmisīgi atvaira jau divpadsmito gadu. Prezidents Zelenskis uzrunāja samita dalībniekus tiešsaistē no kādas nekonkretizētas vietas frontes tuvumā un veltīja nīgrus vārdus Ungārijas premjeram Viktoram Orbanam, kurš deklarējis, ka bloķēs Ukrainas iestāšanās centienus. Kremļa tieksmes taranēt iestāšanās procesu sajūt arī Moldova, kuru Krievija cenšas visiem līdzekļiem iekšēji destabilizēt un panākt sev draudzīgu spēku nākšanu pie varas. Par netīkamu ārējo ietekmi samitā runāja arī Ziemeļmaķedonijas premjers Mickoskis, kurai iestāšanas procesā apšaubāmas prasības izvirza tās savienībā jau esošā kaimiņvalsts Bulgārija. Tomēr vislielāko ievērību samitā izpelnījās par tā „melno avi” dēvētais Serbijas līderis Aleksandars Vučičs. Viņam nācās atbildēt uz daudziem neērtiem jautājumiem, sākot ar Serbijas īpašajām attiecībām ar Maskavu, beidzot ar protestiem, kuri viņa valstī nenorimst nu jau gadu. Protestu galvenā tēma ir korupcija, taču arī autoritārisma iezīmes pastāvošajā varā. Attiecīgi tiek pieprasīta ne vien korumpantu saukšana pie atbildības, bet arī ārkārtas parlamenta vēlēšanas un, tā kā starp protestētājiem ir īpaši daudz studentu, finansējuma palielināšana augstākajai izglītībai. Prezidents Vučičs šai situācijā turpina manipulēt, gan aizvācot no amatiem dažus korupcijā vainotos, gan sūtot pret demonstrantiem policiju un ar dažādiem sitamajiem bruņotus huligānus, kas, savukārt, izraisa protestētāju pretreakciju. Pēdējais vardarbības uzliesmojums bija augustā, kad sadursmēs un policistu brutālos uzbrukumos cieta vairāki desmiti cilvēku un demonstranti izdemolēja un aizdedzināja prezidenta Vučiča vadītās Serbijas progresīvās partijas, citu varas partiju un valsts institūciju birojus.

But could their real intention be to tie up news organisations with fact-checking? Damien Sharkov from BBC Monitoring has been looking at how they operate. Earlier this year, news reports circulated online that a Vietnamese-American scientist called Anh Duong had a hand in creating the bombs used by America in its June airstrikes on Iran. Those reports turned out to be untrue, but Thuong Le from BBC Vietnamese has the real story of the chemical engineer known as 'the Bomb Lady.'In India, pigeons are a much-loved part of city life for many, but a health risk for some.Sumedha Pal has the story.
