Dronele rusești produc victime tot mai aproape de Republica Moldova. Explozii la frontiera cu Ucraina au omorât o femeie și i-au rănit pe cei trei copii ai săi, care în momentul exploziei erau în mașină pe pod. Atacurile, repetate ieri și în această noapte, au blocat circulația către regiunea Odesa. Inspectoratul General pentru Situații de Urgență (IGSU) asigură cazarea cetățenilor ucraineni a căror deplasare spre Ucraina a fost limitată în urma bombardamentelor podului peste Nistru. Temele ediției: - Republica Moldova nu este blocată în procesul de aderare la Uniunea Europeană, dă asigurări Comisara pentru extindere Marta Kos. - Invitatul Moldova Zoom vine de la Bălți – este Ghenadie Râbacov, coordonator de proiecte educaționale, profesor, lingvist și traducător. Discutăm despre ce statut are astăzi limba franceză în Republica Moldova. - Un studiu arată că în autonomia găgăuză din sudul Republicii Moldova există o neîncredere ridicată față de mass-media națională, în special cea în limba română, și față de mesajele oficiale ale autorităților centrale. Cercetarea s-a concentrat pe Găgăuzia și Taraclia și a arătat că oamenii se informează în mare parte online, mai ales prin rețelele sociale, sau de la prieteni și rude. Locuitorii consideră că dezinformarea este o problemă serioasă, dar responsabilitatea este atribuită mai mult autorităților, politicienilor locali, Uniunii Europene și țărilor occidentale, și mai puțin Rusiei. Liliana Barbăroșie a analizat mai detaliat cercetarea și aduce amănunte. - Vladimir Putin i-a numit pe europeni porci. Televiziunea de stat de la Moscova a încercat să explice retorica lui Vladimir Putin. Ce acuzații aduce României și ce legătură are eticheta cu Republica Moldova, explică jurnalistul Euronews România Vitalie Cojocari în „Cronica lui Vitalie”. - În satul Mândreștii Noi, din raionul Sângerei, tradiția se lucrează cu acul, de mână. În atelierul soților Artur și Alexandra Oleinic, cojocăritul prinde viață printre piele tăbăcită, lână naturală și cusături bătute ca odinioară. Aici se nasc căciuli țurcănești, opinci și bundițe purtate de urători și colindători, iar pentru moldovenii din diasporă, ele devin mai mult decât un port popular, sunt amintiri pe care pot să le îmbrace și care țin aproape casa părintească și iernile de demult. Mai multe, în materialul semnat de Cătălin Volconovici și Denis Chirtoca. Știrile zilei: Dronele rusești produc victime tot mai aproape de Republica Moldova. O femeie a murit, iar cei trei copii ai săi au fost răniți pe un pod peste răul Nistru din sudul Ucrainei, pod care face ăcea legătura dintre Odesa și Reni. Guvernatorul regiunii Odesa, Oleg Kiper, a anunțat că cei patru se aflau într-un automobil civil care se deplasa pe pod în momentul în care drona rusească a explodat.  Podul de peste Nistru de pe traseul Odesa-Reni, a fost lovit de drone ieri după amiaza, iar Poliția de Frontieră a Republicii Moldova a anunțat că circulația în zonă a fost oprită și a fost suspendată activitatea punctelor de frontieră cu Ucraina Palanca-Maiaki-Udobnoe și Tudora-Starokazacie. Punctele și-au reluat activitatea în seara zilei, însă în această noapte un nou atac rusesc cu drone a blocat din nou circulația în zona podului Maiaki-Udobnoe, iar ieșirea spre Odesa este blocată. Pentru siguranța cetățenilor, toate mijloacele de transport care se deplasau spre Odesa sunt redirecționate și întoarse pe teritoriul Republicii Moldova. Activitatea punctului de trecere a frontierei Palanca-Maiaki-Udobnoe este sistată pe sensul de ieșire din Republica Moldova. Totodată, în PTF Tudora–Starokazacie, traversarea este permisă doar călătorilor care se deplasează în direcția Belgorod, Ucraina. Autoritățile de frontieră recomandă cetățenilor să se abțină de la deplasări în această direcție până la ameliorarea situației de securitate. *** Inspectoratul General pentru Situații de Urgență (IGSU), în comun cu agenția ONU pentru refugiați (UNHCR), asigură cazarea cetățenilor ucraineni a căror deplasare spre Ucraina a fost limitată în urma bombardamentelor podului peste Nistru. În scopul garantării siguranței acestora, Inspectoratul pentru Situații de Urgență a instalat în localitatea Palanca o tabără mobilă pentru acordarea sprijinului persoanelor care au ales să aștepte traversarea frontierei pe sensul de ieșire spre Ucraina, prin punctele de trecere a frontierei de stat Palanca și Tudora. Tabăra oferă persoanelor adăpostite posibilitatea de a beneficia de hrană și băuturi calde. Totodată, familiile cu copii sunt îndemnate să accepte cazarea într-un spațiu dotat cu locuri de dormit, până la clarificarea situației. *** Republica Moldova nu este blocată în procesul de aderare la Uniunea Europeană, chiar dacă, recent, a fost vorba doar despre o deschidere tehnică a negocierilor, și nu despre una oficială. Precizările au fost făcute de Comisara pentru extindere Marta Kos, în cadrul emisiunii „În Profunzime” de la ProTV, unde a explicat diferența dintre cele două etape și contextul geopolitic care influențează deciziile la nivel european. „Moldova, de fapt, în trecut a primit deja invitația pentru procesul de aderare. De ce avem nevoie acum este de undă verde, cu alte cuvinte, de o decizie oficială pentru a putea deschide toate clusterele. Însă, de fapt, nu există nicio diferență pentru lucrurile pe care le are de făcut Republica Moldova”, a declarat Marta Kos. Potrivit acesteia, esențial nu este momentul formal al deschiderii oficiale, ci livrarea reformelor necesare pentru alinierea legislației naționale la acquis-ul comunitar. „Întrebarea, de fapt, constă în cât de rapid puteți promova aceste reforme. Ați început acest proces împreună cu Ucraina, acum nu este momentul să vă decuplăm. Când procesul va fi inițiat, el va fi în totalitate bazat pe merite și vom vedea ce se va întâmpla”, a conchis Marta Kos. *** Narațiuni care contestă integrarea europeană, legitimitatea autorităților și direcția geopolitică a Republicii Moldova sunt promovate constant pe YouTube, inclusiv în afara campaniilor electorale. Constatarea apare într-un raport de monitorizare publicat de Centrul pentru Jurnalism Independent, care arată că aceste mesaje rămân stabile și recurente în spațiul online, transmite IPN. Raportul arată că cele mai frecvente mesaje false susțin că integrarea europeană ar dăuna oamenilor și economiei, că în stat ar avea loc represiuni politice și cenzură, că opoziția ar fi persecutată, iar autoritățile nu ar fi legitime. Alte narațiuni promovează ideea că aderarea la UE reduce autonomia statelor mici, amenință identitățile culturale și valorile tradiționale sau că NATO ar atrage Moldova într-un război. Narațiunile au fost folosite intens în cadrul campaniei electorale pentru alegerile din Republica Moldova, cele parlamentare din toamna acestui an, dar și cele prezidențiale din 2024, iar autoritățile au declarat că în spatele acestei ample campanii de dezinformare ar sta Rusia.

Max and Maria spoke with Sergey Radchenko about the state of affairs in peace negotiations over Ukraine as we come to the close of 2025. They discuss the different parties' goals and positions, and how this current round of negotiations compares to the talks in Istanbul at the start of the full-scale invasion back in 2022. This conversation was recorded on December 12, 2025. "America's Magical Thinking About Ukraine: A Bad Deal Is Worse Than No Deal," by Sergey Radchenko (Foreign Affairs, December 2025). "The Talks That Could Have Ended the War in Ukraine: A Hidden History of Diplomacy That Came Up Short — but Holds Lessons for Future Negotiations," by Samuel Charap and Sergey Radchenko (Foreign Affairs, April 2024).

Discuțiile de aderare la UE pentru Republica Moldova rămân la nivel tehnic din cauza opoziției Ungariei pentru aderarea Ucrainei. Chișinăul, însă, nu dramatizează și pune accent pe continuarea reformelor, în așteptarea unei noi oportunități. Cele mai dificile reforme țin de reformarea justiției, anticorupția, dar și de dezvoltarea economică. Noul premier moldovean Alexandru Munteanu a preluat acum ceva mai mult de o lună conducerea executivului cu promisiunea de a pune accent pe dezvoltarea economică. Un obiectiv susținut și de UE prin planul de creștere economică de 1,9 miliarde. Invitatul de astăzi al Moldova Zoom este expertul economic de la Chișinău, Dumitru Pîntea, cu care am discutat despre perspectivele de creștere economică a Republicii Moldova Temele ediției: - Republica Moldova urmărește cu mult interes unul dintre cele mai spectaculoase procese de judecată din istoria statului. Este vorba de procesul lui Vlad Plahotniuc, acuzat de mai multe scheme de corupție. Ne explică jurnalistul Euronews România Vitalie Cojocari, în „Cronica lui Vitalie”. - La Bruxelles începe summitul Consiliului European, un summit de la care Republica Moldova aștepta lansarea negocierilor politice de aderare. Discuțiile rămân, însă, la nivel tehnic din cauza opoziției Ungariei pentru aderarea Ucrainei. O corespondență de Mihaela Gherghișan. - Rusia nu este interesată nici de o pace durabilă, dar nici să câștige războiul în Ucraina, avertizează la RFI Thierry Wolton, jurnalist istoric și scriitor francez. Putin așteaptă mai degrabă ca America să își piardă interesul în războiul ruso-ucrainean. Un interviu realizat de Mădălina Șerban. - O misiune a FMI constată că după mai mulți ani de activitate economică anemică, influențată de efectele războiului dus de Federația Rusă în Ucraina și șocurile energetice repetate, Republica Moldova înregistrează o recuperare treptată. - Chișinăul reiterează că toate cele 27 de state membre ale Uniunii Europene susțin deschiderea negocierilor de aderare cu Republica Moldova, iar o decuplare de Ucraina va veni firesc în următoarele etape de negociere. - Autoritățile moldovene inițiază verificări privind folosirea termenelor „eco”, „bio”, „ecologic” și „organic” în denumirea produselor. Știrile zilei: O echipă a FMI a purtat în ultimele două săptămâni discuții cu autoritățile Republicii Moldova, iar șefa misiunii, Alina Iancu, a declarat la încheierea misiunii că după mai mulți ani de activitate economică anemică, influențată de efectele războiului dus de Federația Rusă în Ucraina și șocurile energetice repetate, FMI atestă o recuperare treptată a creșterii economice. Procesul de aderare la UE și Planul de creștere oferă o oportunitate unică pentru stimularea productivității, accelerarea creșterii economice pe termen lung și îmbunătățirea nivelului de trai. Pentru valorificarea acestei oportunități vor fi necesare reforme hotărâte care să ducă la eliminarea deficiențelor structurale. FMI constată în Republica Moldova o creștere economică impulsionată de cererea internă, dar și riscul unor dezechilibre externe crescânde pe fundalul unui grad sporit de incertitudine. Rata de creștere a PIB-ului va fi de 2,7 la sută în acest an. Finanțarea substanțială acordată de UE a ajutat la protejarea populației și agenților economici de cel mai recent șoc energetic. Inflația a scăzut și se așteaptă o revenire a ratei inflației în intervalul țintit de Banca Națională a Moldovei (BNM) între 5 și 6,5 la sută în acest an. Experții FMI prognozează pentru anul viitor o creștere a PIB de până la 2,3 la sută, impulsionat de recolta bună din anul curent și de cererea internă, și o creștere de 3,7 la sută până în 2028. Totuși, misiunea FMI notează că perspectivele economice ale Republicii Moldova rămân extrem de incerte din cauza numeroaselor riscuri care țin în principal de sporirea efectelor negative ale războiului din Ucraina, dar și de riscul de întârzieri în implementarea reformelor și utilizarea necorespunzătoare a finanțării externe. Pe de altă parte, creșterea economică ar putea fi chiar impulsionată de o implementare accelerată a reformelor, dar și de evoluțiile mai favorabile în plan geopolitic. *** Viceprim-ministra pentru integrare europeană, Cristina Gherasimov, a declarat că toate cele 27 de state membre ale Uniunii Europene susțin deschiderea negocierilor de aderare cu Republica Moldova și a subliniat că, în etapele următoare ale procesului, decuplarea de Ucraina va fi una firească, întrucât fiecare stat candidat are propriul set de priorități de reformă. „Astăzi la Bruxelles începe ultimul summit al UE din acest an. Ungaria se opune deschiderii negocierilor politice cu Ucraina, motiv pentru care, pentru Republica Moldova, au fost deschise zilele trecute negocierile tehnice pe capitole, decizia politică urmând să aștepte un consens la nivel european”, spune viceprim-ministra pentru integrare europeană din Guvernul de la Chișinău, Cristina Gherasimov. *** Ministerul Agriculturii și Industriei Alimentare și Agenția de Stat pentru Proprietatea Intelectuală (AGEPI) vor iniția verificări privind modul în care operatorii economici folosesc termenii „eco”, „bio”, „ecologic” și „organic” în denumirea produselor și a mărcilor înregistrate. Utilizarea neautorizată a acestor noțiuni poate induce în eroare consumatorii, defavorizează producătorii onești și atrage sancțiuni, anunță autoritățile de la Chișinău.

Autoritățile de la Chișinău planifică să separe procesul de reintegrare a regiunii transnistrene și parcursul de integrare europeană al Republicii Moldova. Anunțul a fost făcut în cadrul unei conferințe care a avut loc la Chișinău și la care a participat și invitata de astăzi a Moldova Zoom, Angela Grămadă, președinta Asociației Experți pentru Securitate și Afaceri Globale. Am discutat și despre ce se știe despre noul plan de reglementare despre care se vorbește foarte puțin la Chișinău, dar și despre viitoarea decizie a Consiliului European privind formatul de continuare a negocierilor de aderae a Republicii Moldova la UE. Iată temele ediției: - Dificultățile energetice prin care trece Republica Moldova din cauza atacurilor Rusiei asupra sistemului energetic al Ucrainei au devenit subiect de știri false în Romania. Cui servește aceasta dezinformare? Explică Ecaterina Tanasiiciuc. - Ce se va întâmpla cu aderarea Republicii Moldova la UE dacă Rusia nu va fi de acord cu asta? Îngrijorarea este în creștere în contextul discuției despre planul de pace între Rusia și Ucraina. De ce? Ne explică jurnalistul Euronews România Vitalie Cojocari în ”Cronica lui Vitalie”. - Republica Moldova trebuie să continue reformele și pregătirea internă pentru integrarea europeană, indiferent de ritmul sau deblocarea deciziilor politice la nivelul Uniunii Europene. - O alarmă falsă cu bombă a vizat în acest weekend trenul de pe ruta București – Kiev. - Ministerul de Externe de la Chișinău avertizează cetățenii Republicii Moldova aflați în Federația Rusă că autoritățile ruse ar putea cere să semneze un contract de serviciu militar străinilor care solicită permis de ședere sau cetățenie rusă. - Încep plățile compensatorii pentru consumul de energie oferite populației vulnerabile de Guvernul de la Chișinău. Știrile zilei: Republica Moldova trebuie să continue reformele și pregătirea internă pentru integrarea europeană, indiferent de ritmul sau deblocarea deciziilor politice la nivelul Uniunii Europene, afirmă Marcel Spătari, președintele Comisiei parlamentare pentru integrare europeană. „Trebuie să pregătim țara ca să fie eligibilă pentru aderare, indiferent de cum progresează negocierile”, a declarat Marcel Spătari într-un interviu la RFI. Săptămâna aceasta are loc ședința Consiliului European, ultima în acest an, în cadrul căreia vom afla în ce format vor continua negocierile de aderare cu Republica Moldova, în pofida opoziției pe care o are Ungaria față de avansarea discuțiilor cu Ucraina. Marcel Spătari spune însă că, deși deschiderea negocierilor de aderare este o decizie politică ce urmează să fie luată de statele membre ale UE, responsabilitatea autorităților de la Chișinău este să mențină ritmul reformelor interne, pe linia deciziei ambițioase de a avea finalizate toate reformele necesare aderării către 2028. *** O alarmă falsă cu bombă a vizat  în acest weekend trenul de pe ruta București – Kiev, care a fost oprit pentru verificări la ieșire din Republica Moldova în direcția Ucrainei. Un apel anonim la linia verde a căilor ferate ucrainene a anunțat că trenul din patru vagoane ar fi minat. Verificările au arătat că alarma a fost una falsă. *** Tot în weekend Rusia a bombardat din nou sistemul energetic al Ucrainei, iar  regiunea Odesa a rămas fără electricitate, apă și încălzire, după cel mai masiv atac de la începutul agresiunii ruse. Peste un milion de consumatori din Ucraina au rămas fără energie electrică. În urma acestor atacuri, are de suferit și Republica Moldova, care fără suportul infrastructurii ucrainene resimte o presiune crescândă asupra rețelelor liniilor electric din care importă curent electric din România. *** Ministerul de Externe de la Chișinău avertizează cetățenii Republicii Moldova aflați în Federația Rusă asupra unor schimbări importante în legislația rusă care impun străinii care solicită permis de ședere sau cetățenie rusă să semneze un contract de serviciu militar. Ministerul de Externe subliniază că există riscul ca solicitanții să fie presați să accepte obligații militare și recomandă cetățenilor moldoveni să manifeste maximă prudență și să nu semneze niciun document cu caracter militar fără consultare juridică. În cazul presiunilor sau al situațiilor abuzive, aceștia sunt sfătuiți să solicite imediat asistență consulară. *** Încep plățile compensatorii pentru consumul de energie oferite populației vulnerabile de Guvernul de la Chișinău. Peste 600 de mii de gospodării în care locuiesc peste 1,2 milioane de persoane, vor beneficia de compensații la energie, valaorea cărora este între 25 și 50 de euro. Compensațiile vor fi acordate pe durata întregului sezon de încălzire. Programul „Ajutor la contor” oferă, pentru al patrulea an consecutiv, compensații la energie gospodăriilor vulnerabile.

In this deeply human and tender episode of This Cosmic Life, I sit in sacred conversation with Svetlana, a luminous facilitator, celebrator, and lover of the human experience.This episode is a quiet initiation.We speak of grief not as something to fix, transcend, or rush through, but as a living teacher. A river. A force that strips us bare and invites us into a fuller, truer celebration of life.Svetlana shares the unimaginable loss of her mother and sister in a tragic accident, the near death experience that followed, and the way grief became an unexpected guide back into the body, back into community, and back into what it truly means to be human.Together we explore the intimate relationship between grief and joy, why celebration is not bypassing but presence, how grief makes us naked and why that nakedness is sacred, what it means to be witnessed in sorrow, why grief longs for community rather than isolation, and how collaboration and shared dreaming can become medicine.We also dive into Svetlana's work with Dragon Dreaming, a heart centered approach to collaboration rooted in Indigenous wisdom, where projects are tended like living beings and community becomes love in action.This conversation is for those who have loved deeply, lost deeply, and are learning how to stay. For those who feel the ache of grief alongside the longing for joy. For those who know that healing does not happen alone.This is an episode about slowing down, listening, celebrating what is here, and remembering that grief and joy live in the same body, the same heart, the same breath.About SvetlanaSvetlana is a facilitator, celebrator, and devoted student of the human experience. She is committed to exploring how humans can live, work, and dream together with honesty, compassion, and presence.Her work weaves compassionate communication, evolutionary astrology, family constellation therapy, evolutionary relating, circle facilitation, and Dragon Dreaming, a collaborative project design process rooted in Indigenous Australian wisdom and collective dreaming.Born in Moldova and shaped by a life of travel and cultural immersion, Svetlana considers herself a world citizen. Community, collaboration, communication, connection, and celebration form the core pillars of her life and work.In this season of her life, grief has become one of her greatest teachers. Through personal loss, near death experience, and profound transformation, she is devoted to normalizing grief as a shared human experience and creating spaces where people can be witnessed in both sorrow and joy.Svetlana facilitates individual and group family constellation sessions, grief and connection circles, Dragon Dreaming collaborations, and community based gatherings that invite people back into relationship with themselves and one another.At heart, she is a celebrator. One who believes that to truly celebrate life, we must make room for all of it. You can reach her at szabolotnaia@gmail.com or on Instagram, @zabolotnaia949. About the HostI'm Tara Samadhi, and it is my joy to welcome you into This Cosmic Life. I walk a path as a mystic, a spiritual friend, an oracle, and a lover of the sacred. My journey has been shaped by devotion and radical healing.This podcast weaves these threads not as concepts but as living practices. Through mantra, sound, and soul filled conversation, we remember that we are divine beings having a human experience.Here, nothing is outside of the sacred. We gather to explore the pathless path, the unfolding of transformation, devotion, and awakening. My prayer is that this space becomes a sanctuary where you feel seen, inspired, and invited to walk deeper into the truth of who you are.Website: https://tarasamadhi.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tarasamadhi/

Invitatul emisiunii, directorul asociației Promo-Lex, Ion Manole, vorbește despre drepturile omului în Transnistria, despre care se poate spune că este cea mai defavorizată zonă din Europa din acest punct de vedere. Un interviu realizat de Liliana Barbăroșie pe marginea unei conferințe dedicate subiectului care a avut loc la Chișinău. Conferința a subliniat existența în continuare a unor dificultăți serioase privind libertatea de expresie și de circulație, obstacole în accesul mass-media independente și al apărătorilor drepturilor omului în regiune, dar şi problemele cu care se confruntă școlile cu predare în limba română din regiune. Ion Manole avertizează că Transnistria poate deveni „buturuga mica care să împiedice carul mare” al integrării europene a Republicii Moldova. Temele ediției: - Conferința pentru reconstrucția Ucrainei de la București – printre subiecte – solul esențial al României și Republicii Moldova în viitoarea refacere a vecinului din est distrus de agresiunea Rusiei. Ecaterina Tanasiiciuc aduce detalii privind discuțiile de la București. - Autoritățile de la Chișinău planifică să separe procesul de reintegrare a regiunii transnistrene și parcursul de integrare europeană al Republicii Moldova. O corespondență de Valeria Vițu. - Presa din Ucraina publică informații îngrijorătoare potrivit cărora regiunea separatistă Transnistria ar fi reactivată de Federația Rusă. La rândul său, ministrul Apărării de la Chișinău spune că informațiile sunt o exagerare. - Republica Moldova continuă să se confrunte cu dificultăți în asigurarea țării cu energie electrică. - Departamentul pentru Relația cu Republica Moldova a dotat cu mobilier modern sălile de clasă patru școli din Republica Moldova. Știrile zilei: Autoritățile de la Chișinău planifică să separe procesul de reintegrare a regiunii transnistrene și parcursul de integrare europeană al Republicii Moldova. Anunțul a fost făcut de vicepremierul pentru reintegrare, Valeriu Chiveri, care a explicat că cele două procese au ritmuri și dinamici diferite și nu pot fi sincronizate, transmite IPN. „Vom face tot posibilul ca procesul de reintegrare a regiunii transnistrene să fie dinamic și să aducă rezultate. Înțelegem că necesită o perioadă de timp îndelungată decât cea în care ne propunem să avansăm în negocierile pentru integrare europeană”, a declarat Valeriu Chiveri în cadrul unui eveniment organizat de Asociația Promo-LEX „Drepturile omului în regiunea transnistreană: provocări, răspunsuri, perspective de reintegrare și parcursul european”. *** Republica Moldova continuă să se confrunte cu dificultăți în asigurarea țării cu energie electrică. Rețelele electrice au fost nevoite să apeleze din nou la energia de avarie din România, miercuri. Este al treilea anunț de acest fel din partea autorităților, după ce sâmbătă Rusia a bombardat sistemul energetic al Ucrainei, ceea ce a afectat și Republica Moldova. România asigură în aceste condiții stabilitatea sistemului electric al Republicii Moldova. Energia electrică de avarie este de 4-5 ori mai scumpă decât cea cumpărată de pe piață, iar Republica Moldova achită integral factura de consum. Situația ar putea dura până când Ucraina reușește să-și restabilească sistemul electric, însă reparațiile ar putea dura câteva săptămâni, potrivit autorităților ucrainene.   Ministrul Energiei, Dorin Junghietu, a mulțumit populației pentru că a redus consumul, ceea ce scăzut din presiunea pe sistem. *** Departamentul pentru Relația cu Republica Moldova a dotat cu mobilier modern sălile de clasă din două gimnazii și două licee în localitățile Rîșcani, Bălți și Corjova. Prin proiectul „Mobilier școlar pentru unități de învățământ din Republica Moldova”, elevii și profesorii din cele trei localități se bucură de noile dotări care încurajează implicarea activă a elevilor și facilitează procesul educațional. Prin aceste acțiuni, Guvernul României continuă să sprijine educația de calitate în școlile și liceele cu predare în limba română din Republica Moldova, transmite Radio Chișinău. *** Primarul de Chișinău Ion Ceban a cheltuit de la începutul anului peste 155 de mii de lei românești pentru serviciile unui cabinet de avocatură din București. Contractul a fost încheiat pe 22 iulie, la o zi după ce edilul a anunțat că o dă în judecată pe ministra de Externe, Oana Țoiu, în contextul interdicției de intrare în spațiul Schengen, transmite TV8, care a consultat declarația de avere a primarului. Ion Ceban a fost interzis în România, dar și întreg spațiul Schengen timp de 5 ani. Anunțul a fost făcut de Ministerul de Externe de la București, care menționa că decizia a fost luată din motive „ce țin de considerente de siguranță națională”, iar ministra Oana Țoiu, a explicat că interdicția a fost aplicată din cauza legăturilor lui Ion Ceban cu Rusia și a fost decisă după o documentare minuțioasă. Ceban a reacționat imediat, negând orice legătură cu Moscova și a acționat-o în judecată pe Oana Țoiu. La începutul lunii septembrie, judecătorii de la București i-au respins cererea lui Ceban privind ridicarea restricției de călătorie, iar avocații lui au anunțat că vor ataca decizia la Înalta Curte de Casație și Justiție. *** Proceduri mai simple la trecerea frontierei pentru transportatorii de marfă, costuri reduse şi mai puțin timp pierdut. De aproape o lună, Republica Moldova a devenit membru cu drepturi depline al Convenției privind regimul de tranzit comun, iar odată cu asta a intrat în funcțiune noul Sistem Computerizat de Tranzit. Implementarea acestui proiect s-a făcut cu sprijinul Uniunii Europene. După aderarea la Convenție, declarația de tranzit se depune online o singură dată și rămâne valabilă pe tot traseul, fără a mai fi nevoie de acte noi la fiecare frontieră. Implementarea acestui sistem de tranzit este un obiectiv asumat în Acordul de Asociere cu Uniunea Europeană și reprezintă un pas important în integrarea Republicii Moldova în spațiul vamal european.

Her snakker vi om to autonome stater i Moldova: Utbryterrepublikken Transnistria og "ikke utbryter, men selvstyrte" regionen Gaugazia. Vil du høre landepisodene om Moldova, i tillegg til alt annet fra de siste to årene, så finner du de hos podimo.no/198land.Produsert av Martin Oftedal, PLAN-B Hosted on Acast.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 19-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,773 on turnover of 5.8-billion N-T. The market gained ground again on Wednesday, on the back of investor interest in tech and electronic market heavyweights and after Wall Street held steady overnight. Premier claims opposition demand for President to be questioned over special budget unconstitutional Premier Cho Jung-tai says a demand by opposition lawmakers that President Lai Ching-te face questions in the Legislative Yuan related to his 1.25-trillion N-T special defense budget is "unconstitutional." The statement comes after lawmakers from the K-M-T and the Taiwan People's Party blocked a bill authorizing the special defense budget from being placed on the agenda for tomorrow's Legislative plenary session. K-M-T caucus whip Fu Kun-chi has said while the party's supports protecting Taiwan, they believe Lai should report to the Legislature and explain the necessity of the expenditure. Taiwanese accounts unaffected in Coupang's recent data leak The Ministry of Digital Affairs says there is no evidence to suggest that Coupang users here in Taiwan were affected by a large-scale personal data leak recently reported by the South Korean e-commerce giant. According to the ministry, it contacted Coupang in late November after learning of the incident and was informed that the breach occurred mainly in South Korea and, based on checks carried out so far, no leaks involving Taiwanese accounts have been found. The ministry says it will continue monitoring the case and maintain communication with Coupang to ensure (確保) the protection of local users' personal information. South Korean media has reported that personal information of around 33.7-million users was exposed. Hong Kong fire death toll hits 159 after towers searched The death toll from Hong Kong's worst fire in decades rose to 159. Police said they have completed a search inside all seven of eight high-rise buildings ravaged (嚴重破壞、毀壞) in the fire that first broke out last Wednesday and took until Friday to be extinguished. About 30 people remain missing. Laura Westbrook reports. Moldova Bomb Disposal Deployed Police in Moldova have deployed bomb disposal experts to a community miles from the Ukrainian border after a resident mistook (誤以為) a grounded drone for “a toy” and took it home. Police on Wednesday said the drone did not contain explosives or pose a danger, and urged the public to “not touch or attempt to transport fallen drones or similar objects.” Authorities did not say where the drone came from. They said it was a Gerbera-type drone. Russia has used those in Ukraine. A number of drones have been found on Moldovan territory since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Greece Farmer Protests Farmers in northern Greece have blocked border crossings with North Macedonia, Bulgaria and Turkey as part of a growing protest over delays in farm subsidy payments. The demonstration on Wednesday comes amid a major subsidy fraud scandal (醜聞) that led to the resignation of five senior officials. Tractor convoys caused significant traffic disruptions and forced vehicles onto long detours. Government officials say they are open to negotiations but will not allow key transport corridors, ports or rail hubs (中心) to be shut down. That was the I.C.R.T.

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.     Links & Resources: Email: mike@tempofunding.com Phone Number: mike@tempofunding.com Website: mike@tempofunding.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mzlotnik/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TFmanagementgroup Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@tempofunding     Attention Investors and Agents: Are you ready to scale your real estate business and connect with like-minded professionals?

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.

//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.

Max and Maria spoke with Nikolay Petrov and Mikhail Troitskiy, two leading experts on the contemporary Russian elite, to discuss the current status of this ruling group inside Russia today, and why it finds itself increasingly under pressure from state security organs. This conversation was recorded on November 13, 2025.

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. This lecture is sponsored by the Alice D. Mortenson/Petrovich Distinguished Chair of Russian History and University Lectures.

Networks of bots - automated social media accounts - have been found to be targeting European elections including, in the last year, those in Moldova, Poland and Germany. 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.

Ivana Stradner asserts that Putin is dangerously escalating hybrid warfare, using drones to challenge NATO and test Article 5.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Joseph Sternberg details China's economic "pickle," resulting from the property bubble collapse and failure of its export-led model. The subsequent glut of goods risks deflation, which Beijing calls "involution," dangerously exacerbating vast debt problems.
