Silicon Bites Ep402 | 2026-09-17 | Flares at a Danish Helicopter, Drones over Lithuania and Moldova, Fire on Poland's Doorstep — Putin Has Stopped Deterring Europe and Started Shaping the Future Battlefield. Two flares. No warning. No radio call. One passed within metres of a Danish military helicopter over the Baltic Sea on Monday. A few metres more, and Denmark would be burying aircrew killed by a Russian warship in international waters.Moscow did not apologise. Moscow handed out a medal. On Wednesday, Russia's Defence Ministry announced that Andrei Belousov had awarded the ship's captain the medal "For Courage". The courage in question was firing pyrotechnics at a helicopter on a perfectly legal monitoring mission. It is a pattern, not an isolated incident. It also forces the question Europe keeps dodging. Is Putin still trying to deter us, or has he already moved into the next phase?----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Billy Graham said one of the next great movements of God would be by believers in the marketplace. The men in this episode have spent twenty years proving he was right. Bryan Dawson sits down with the team behind The Lions Den, a Birmingham event best described as a Christian "Shark Tank." Companies from Africa, Asia, South America and right here at home present their business case to a panel of successful Christian businessmen who grill them on profit, social impact, creation care, and the one most organizations skip: the spiritual bottom line. This is the "trade, not aid" argument in practice. A bakery in a South African township that opened doors no missionary could open. A cheese factory and dairy in Moldova that grew from three employees to thirty and kept fathers from leaving the country to find work. A fried chicken chain, a bank and an IT company in Sierra Leone, the eighth poorest country on earth. A factory owner in China who says his ministry runs from eight to five. "There are ten to twenty times more business owners than there are pastors. What's going to change America and the world is business owners stewarding their companies in a way that has impact."

Mulțumim că ne ascultați. Părerea voastră contează pentru noi. Ne puteți scrie aici:„Starea Uniunii este mai puternică decît a fost vreodată. Dar, în același timp, poate părea mai precară ca niciodată.” Președinta Comisiei Europene Ursula von der Leyen și-a început discursul de azi despre starea Uniunii, din Parlamentul European de la Strasbourg, cu această afirmație paradoxală. Într-o lume pe care o descrie drept „ostilă”, von der Leyen propune o Europă mai capabilă să acționeze pe cont propriu: în apărare, dar și în energie, tehnologie, sau comerț. Printre altele, ea a anunțat și că Canada ar putea deveni primul „membru asociat” al Uniunii Europene. Dar discursul Ursulei von der Leyen s-a referit și la viața cotidiană a europenilor – de la prețul energiei la efectele schimbărilor climatice, de la abordarea cu privire la inteligența artificială la accesul copiilor la rețelele sociale. Am vorbit despre discursul privind starea Uniunii cu Oana Cristina Popa, cercetătoare la German Marshall Fund şi fostă ambasadoare a UE în Muntenegru, şi cu analistul Robert Lupiţu, redactor-şef al platformei „Calea Europeană”.„Starea Uniunii este mai puternică decît a fost vreodată. Dar, în același timp, poate părea mai precară ca niciodată.” Ce înţelegem din acest verdict?Robert Lupiţu: „Avînd în vedere că discursul privind starea Uniunii Europene este un obicei creat în 2010, pe modelul discursului privind starea națiunii al președintelui american – firește, e o diferență foarte clară de atribuții între președintele unui stat și președintele unei instituții europene –, vedem în prima parte a zicerii, în primul rînd, o frază de inspirație americană. The state of our Union has never been stronger. Da, nu a fost niciodată mai puternică. Urmată, în schimb, de o radiografie cît se poate de reală. Pentru că Uniunea Europeană experimentează crize puternice și sistemice nu de ieri, de azi, de cîțiva ani. Nu sînt crize de tipul una într-o generație. Sînt crize persistente și suprapuse. De altfel, întregul proces legat de autonomie strategică este unul de durată. Așa cum a durat, pînă la urmă, predarea diferitelor chei esențiale în zona de infrastructuri critice, un outsourcing geopolitic, dacă pot să spun așa, către China, pe zona de producție, materii prime și așa mai departe, gazul ieftin din Rusia, inclusiv procesul de reconversie industrială, de electrificare, de ce putem să mai discutăm pentru a ne lua destinul în propriile mîini – că și aceasta a fost o frază –, va dura. Și asta știm foarte bine, pentru că vorbim deja de un deceniu de suveranitate strategică, autonomie strategică. Emmanuel Macron va pleca anul viitor de la Palatul Élysée și ar merita să vedem, într-o radiografie, cît de autonomi am devenit în 10 ani sau nu. Inclusiv discuţiile despre competitivitate trenează. L-au determinat pe autorul acelui celebru raport, Mario Draghi, fostul premier italian și fostul președinte al BCE, să creeze un grup informal de reflecție și în egală măsură de influență, de lobby, acel grup de la Rin, tocmai pentru a impulsiona evoluția Uniunii Europene în diferite sectoare. Și sîntem fragili pentru că sîntem expuși masiv dezinformării, sîntem expuși de mai bine de un deceniu efectelor generate de recrudescența și afirmarea extremei drepte, extremelor politice, ultranaţionalismului, pe care l-a menționat și Ursula von der Leyen, amenințările hibride din partea Rusiei. Și acestea nu vor dispărea, sînt aici să rămînă, să se mențină, să pună presiune pe noi. Și Uniunea Europeană, în același timp, trebuie să furnizeze niște răspunsuri.”Care sînt perspectivele pentru extinderea Uniunii Europene în Republica Moldova și Ucraina în viitorul apropiat?Oana Cristina Popa: „Președinta von der Leyen a menționat extinderea în contextul securității vecinătății, a spus că în curînd se vor pregăti foi de parcurs pentru procesul de aderare a candidaților. În luna octombrie, de altfel, ies rapoartele anuale pe pachetul de extindere, unde avem Balcanii de Vest, Moldova și Ucraina. Ce așteaptă Moldova și Ucraina în momentul acesta este să deschidă restul clusterelor, cele patru care mai sînt de deschis, în așa fel încît să poată progresa pe parcursul european. Să nu uităm că sînt niște cerințe în clusterul 1 care se referă la drepturi fundamentale, reforma judiciară, libertăți fundamentale care trebuie făcute înainte ca orice alte capitole să poată fi închise. Deci, cred că în acest moment, este foarte important pentru aceste state să-și facă temele. Moldova, de altfel, a și fost laudată de către comisara pentru extindere pentru că a făcut progrese notabile în ultima vreme. Faptul că extinderea a fost menționată, chiar dacă nu a ocupat un loc central – a fost menționată la sfîrșitul discursului și doar într-un paragraf –, dar faptul că a fost acolo este extrem de important pentru că extinderea merge mînă-n mînă acum cu întărirea securității pe vecinătatea estică și este legată de componenta securității din 2022 încoace, de cînd a început războiul în Ucraina.”Apasă PLAY pentu a asculta interviul integral!

This week's Podcast Short looks at three countries that recently took steps to advance their alignment with EU chemical laws, as well as recent announcements from Flexsys and Lanxess about potential alternatives to 6PPD. Moldova, Serbia and Turkey recently made changes to portions of their domestic chemical laws to align with the EU, as they work to advance their candidacy to join the trade bloc. In the latest business news, the rubber chemicals company Flexsys said it has two candidate chemicals that could potentially replace 6PPD as a stabilising agent in tyres. Other top stories discussed include: ECHA's Committee for Risk Assessment recommends propyl paraben be classified as category 1, endocrine disruptive for the environment; compliance efforts boost data for previously non-compliant REACH registration dossiers; the US EPA continues to churn out draft TSCA risk evaluations; and Vietnam looks to simplify administrative procedures under its chemicals law. Tune in to hear about our top stories from the last week, and then visit Chemical Watch News & Insight to catch all the latest chemicals management news from around the globe.

Day 1,656.Today, there are reports President Zelensky's plane taking him to Norway yesterday may have been the target of the Russian drone that crashed in Moldova. Then, Ukraine is ensuring the war is brought home to previously untouched parts of Russia, as its latest long range drone strike hit Siberia, 3000km inside the country. Kyiv claims it was the longest drone strike in history. Meanwhile, Putin's folly means his country has now passed the grim milestone of killing or wounding one percent of its entire population and there are question marks over the future diplomatic role for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

by Christian Medical & Dental Associations® Dr. Julie Rosá and Dr. Andy Behnke join Dr. Mike Chupp to explore how medical education can become a powerful form of mission. Drawing on Dr. Behnke's years of teaching and ministry in Moldova, including diabetes education and efforts to expand access to continuous glucose monitoring, they discuss how sharing specialized knowledge can equip international colleagues and allow God to use skills that may not seem suited to a traditional medical missions trip.
Revelation Episode 12: The Satanic Trinity of the Dragon, Beast and False Prophet Today I'm talking about the Beast—the Lawless One, often called “the Antichrist”—and the False Prophet, who are both spoken of in Revelation 13. We see that, just as God is a Trinity, so too will the last-days manifestation of Satan be in triune form. The Beast and the False Prophet are empowered by the Dragon, Satan, whom we spoke about in the last session as the one who tried to destroy the Woman and the Man Child (Revelation 12:3, 9). Satan cannot create anything but can only copy, and the appearance of the Beast (or Antichrist) will be a counterfeit of the ministry of Jesus, even to the three-and-a-half-year length of his “ministry” on earth. The False Prophet will be a counterfeit of the Holy Spirit and will speak for the Beast (Revelation 13:11–18). This episode will deal with the work of the Satanic Trinity in its spiritual conflict with the Kingdom of God for control of the geopolitical realm of the world. This is distinct from the spiritual conflict in the last episode, where we saw the existential struggle involving the Woman as the Church of Revelation chapter 12, how the Prince Power of Darkness had been put under our feet through Jesus as Head of the Church, and how the Church was given divine protection. We see in this episode that the Dragon, Satan, who is a counterfeit of the Father, has always worked through world powers and will do so until the end. Matthew 4:8: “The devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, ‘All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.'” Ephesians 2:2: “We once walked according to the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience.” We also saw that the Dragon had seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his head. The seven heads here were seen as last-days heads of nation-states, but horns in the Bible speak of power. The ten horns therefore speak of last-days strategic corporate entities of power that influence nation-states and ultimately give rise to the Beast's rule over the earth during the three and a half years. I mentioned in the last session that we might perhaps expect to witness surprising structural and influential changes in national leadership, even over the next few years, because of the current political instability. THE BEAST The Beast comes in the image of his father, the Dragon (see also Revelation 17:3, 10–12). Revelation 13:1: “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The Dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marvelled and followed the Beast. So they worshipped the Dragon who gave authority to the Beast; and they worshipped the Beast, saying, ‘Who is like the Beast? Who is able to make war with him?'” Here we see that the Beast comes in the image of the Dragon (Revelation 12:3), except that there are ten crowns on the horns rather than seven crowns on the heads. Horns speak of power, and crowns speak of authority. This speaks of the Antichrist giving authority to the ten heads of the ten powerful nations that will rule the world kingdom at the time of the end. John describes a single “Composite Beast” because this represents the gathering of all previous imperial, tyrannical, and dominating traits of history into one final, unified global entity. John describes a Beast that is “like a leopard,” with “feet like those of a bear” and a “mouth like that of a lion.” This vision of John's is based upon a vision of the prophet Daniel, which gives us the code that unlocks the identities and characteristics of all those imperial nations and rulers of biblical history. What we will seek to decipher and explain today are the historical and ongoing prophetic lines from the Book of Daniel concerning the geopolitical struggle of the kingdom of darkness against the Kingdom of God. The following prophetic Scriptures from Daniel form very strong lines of historical and biblical continuity across the six hundred years from Daniel to when John wrote Revelation. In fact, we will draw just as strongly from Daniel in further episodes of Revelation concerning the latter parts of the three-and-a-half-year Tribulation and the return of Christ. Daniel 7:3: “And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it. And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!'” “After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The Beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it” (4 = global dominion). “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth Beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words.” TRADITIONAL IDENTIFICATIONS IN DANIEL 7 SYMBOL — TRADITIONAL IDENTIFICATION — CORE CHARACTERISTIC - Lion (with eagle's wings) — Babylon — Sovereignty: Represents imperial majesty and dominion (parallel to the “Gold Head” of Daniel 2). - Bear (raised on one side) — Medo-Persia — Crushing Power: Characterised by the command to “Arise, devour much flesh … and it ate three ribs,” emphasising its massive appetite for conquest. - Leopard (with four wings/heads) — Greece — Speed: Four wings—leopard's natural speed, Alexander the Great's rapid expansion, and the four successor kingdoms. A leopard is pale yellow with black spots. - Fourth Beast (iron teeth/10 horns) — Rome — Imperial Destruction: Described as “terrible and extremely strong,” using its “iron teeth” to crush and devour all opposition. These established ancient identities are not merely historical footnotes; they serve as the necessary archetypes for understanding how power is projected throughout history. Note the progression of Lion, Bear, and Leopard, because John reverses this sequence in Revelation 13:2, where we see the leopard, bear, and lion qualities of the Beast first. This is because John is looking back into history, from Rome to Babylon. But what we must remember is that John is also looking forward prophetically into history from two thousand years ago. It will be useful, amongst the bewildering range of symbolic descriptions of the “Beast Nations” of history, to remember the sequence of three recurring symbolic nations of history—the Lion, the Bear, and the Leopard. These have been the prelude to a sequence of dreadful “composite beasts” throughout history and will feature significantly in the last days, when they become the ultimate ogre of the “Composite Beast” at the Second Coming of Christ to the earth. Remember the sequence: Lion, Bear, Leopard. One of the greatest counterfeits that will be perpetrated by the Beast, the Lawless One, will be a counterfeit resurrection in verse 3, which will delude many. Remember, in 2 Thessalonians 2, that God would send strong delusion for people to believe a lie. His mouth will speak great things. He will be a great leader and statesman who will sway the multitudes. He will receive power from the Dragon, Satan, to overcome those saints who endure the Tribulation. But their martyrdom will be to the glory of God. These saints are encouraged by the angel of Revelation 14:7. Daniel 7:8 speaks of one powerful, persuasive person as a horn of power who will arise at the end: “And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words.” So we have strong lines of scriptural formation from Daniel to John, but in the two thousand years from John until now, we have reached beyond the time of John, when Rome was the “Composite Beast,” into the description of a much more awesome and devastating Composite Beast that Rome represented. John's final Beast here has seven heads as well as ten horns. And I have to say this—but wait, there's more. In Revelation 12:3, in the last episode, we saw John describing the Dragon, representing Satan: “Behold, a great red dragon … having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads” (diadems are jewelled headbands). So the sequence is: - Revelation 12:3—Dragon: 7 heads crowned + 10 horns - Revelation 13:1—Beast: 7 heads + 10 horns crowned - Revelation 17:3, 12—Beast: 7 heads + 10 horns; then ten kings receive authority This is not a repeated description—John changes the locations of the diadems. That fits prophetically and purposefully with the progression from Satanic authority being delegated to a Beastly political authority, and then to a final ten-kingdom coalition. Chapter 13 portrays the Beast receiving and exercising the authority previously associated with the Dragon. It is like the Father giving Jesus His authority. We will cover the progression of power when we come to those chapters later in Revelation. To this point, with John's veiled vision of what he was observing in the geopolitical power plays of his day, we have strong and true lines of scriptural continuity through which to understand the nature of the Lion, Bear, and Leopard powers of his time. If we seek to understand the prophetic imagery that he lays ahead into the future, at least up until now, we can only interpret the identities and conflicts of his visions by insight and eyesight as to the current geopolitical landscape. In other words, who are the Lion, the Bear, and the Leopard today? I can't go further yet into what the grotesque, final Composite Beast vision that comes up out of the sea is, but I will in further episodes, where we see the intricate dance of crowns swapping with horns and diadems, chapter after chapter. The sea, by the way, speaks of the nations—the global ocean of humanity. So anything I say about the Lion, the Bear, and the Leopard that John left us with will be by exercising eyesight, with some insights into the strategic power of current geopolitics. But I do not have a strong line of scriptural alignment as John did. He left prophecy to unfold itself within a continuous blend of the historical national traits of dominance, hegemony, cruelty, lies, and destruction. My thoughts are speculation, and I do not claim to have divine revelation about them. I will take the Lion, the Bear, and the Leopard in their original order. As we are not looking back as John was, I am mapping their original history. MODERN GEOPOLITICAL ANALOGIES (FUTURIST) SYMBOL — TRADITIONAL BIBLICAL IDENTITY — MODERN GEOPOLITICAL ANALOGY - Lion — Babylon — Britain, the “Anglosphere” (USA/Europe). The Lion took eagle's wings, flew away, and landed with a human heart and the wings plucked (Daniel 7). USA becomes a Democratic Republic. Has a mouth speaking pompous things. - Bear — Medo-Persia — Russia (culturally the bear). Daniel 7: “Arise, devour much flesh … lay on one side—ate three ribs.” Recent conquests: Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine? - Leopard — Greece — Afro-Asia: the rapid spread of geopolitical/civilisational/trading significance. The Leopard is pale yellow with black markings. First colonised by Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal. Greece split into four national regions after Alexander: Egypt, Greece/Macedonia, Persia to India, and Turkey (Anatolia). THE FALSE PROPHET Revelation 13:11: “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.” The False Prophet—the counterfeit of the Holy Spirit—speaks for the Beast (Revelation 13:11–18). This person is described as a lamb, speaking of a meek and docile appearance, yet inwardly a ravenous wolf. He is seen to have two horns, speaking of the two thrusts of his power. These will be religion and commerce. In verses 15 and 16, he causes all the world to worship the image of the Antichrist, thus establishing a new world religion. He also causes everyone to receive a mark on their foreheads or right hands as a condition of being able to purchase or sell any goods or commodities. The mark is 666, speaking of satanic power over man's spirit, soul, and body. Compare the image of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 3:1. He counterfeits the great prophet Elijah by causing fire to come down from heaven onto the earth in the sight of man (verse 13). It would seem that he has power over the elements as well as over people, according to verse 12. CONCLUSION — THE FOUR GARDENS We could picture the Garden of Eden as a biological, botanical, and zoological garden, where God walked with His earthly family of Adam and Eve, giving Adam authority to name the animals. There was nothing but blessing in the earth that God had dominion over and shared with His family. We would then see a tangled garden of chaos as sin and death enter the world, ending up with the botanical, zoological, and biological garden of Daniel's time, which had beasts, conflict, destruction, and spiritual interference from angels of darkness under the headship of Satan. We then come to the continuation and progressive chaos and corruption of Daniel's time, leading to the greater malice and destruction of the garden of the time of the Apostle John. We are now, two thousand years later, inhabiting the most grotesque jungle of a garden and awaiting the return of the King of Kings in His appointed time. That will usher in the most beautiful and majestic garden on the earth, which will last for one thousand years. In this millennial Garden, the wolf will lie down with the lamb, there will be no more thorns and thistles, and the groaning of this current earthly creation will have been heard and healed from the curse of human sin. Romans 8:21: “The creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.” This earth will be ruled by the King of kings, who will be crowned with many crowns, topple all other kingdoms that stand in His way, and invite us to once again rule and reign with Him upon an entire blessed earth that far supersedes the Garden of Eden. He also has a crown laid up for us if we follow on to know the Lord.
Day 1,655.Today, no word from Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner about Putin's so-called drive for peace as Russia resumes aerial attacks on Ukraine and hits Moldova…twice: first at a border crossing point, with dead and injured reported there, and then by a Russian drone that flew in via Romania. To further baffle those who believed Moscow's line that the Kremlin poses no aggressive plans toward Europe, Romania has arrested a Russian spy and Hungary has kicked out Russian diplomats. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has spoken to Vladimir Putin for an “objective and thorough” overview of the situation in Ukraine. And later, we get the latest on the Russian economy via the cucumber index.Contributors:Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.James Kilner (Russia Analyst). @Jkjourno on X.Senior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 96-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 46,070 on turnover of 12.5-billion N-T. Government preparing search and rescue team after Nepal‑Tibet flood The government says its has prepared Taiwan's national search and rescue team to travel to Nepal following the deadly flash floods near the Nepal‑China border earlier this week. According to the National Fire Agency, it has ordered the national special search and rescue team and rotating (輪流) units from Tainan, Hsinchu City and Chiayi County to prepare for departure. Fire Agency Director‑General Hsiao Huang‑chang says although Taiwan has yet to receive a request for help, the national special rescue and research team will respond in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to any such requests from affected countries. And the foreign ministry says there have been no reports of any Taiwan nationals being trapped or affected by the disaster. Russia Launches Attacks on Ukraine with Drones and Missiles Russia has launched a major attack on Ukraine that targeted nine cities with missiles and drones. The assault began Wednesday night and continued into Thursday. The strikes hit areas such as the capital Kyiv and caused civilian casualties. Ukrainian officials say that Russia builds up missile stocks to exhaust (用完，耗盡) air defenses. Ukraine has targeted Russian sites including online retailers in response. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy emphasized the need for more air defense support from the United States and Europe. Zelenskyy is due to visit Moldova which reported drones breaching its airspace. The ongoing conflict has raised concerns among Russia's neighbors about a potential wider conflict. TRUMP SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER RENAMING LAKE ONTARIO 'LAKE AMERICA' AS CANADA REJECTS THE MOVE US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario as "Lake America," deepening the rift with Canada that has already triggered (觸發) retaliatory tariffs worth billions of dollars. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has rejected the name change, saying Canadians will continue to use the lake's original name, which derives from an indigenous Wendat word more than four hundred years old. Jagruti Dave, our reporter in Washington, says the executive order has limited practical effect beyond US federal maps, and other countries are unlikely to adopt the new name. Malaysia to Repatriate Myanmar Nationals Malaysia is set to repatriate nearly 1-thousand-500 Myanmar nationals this weekend as part of a voluntary program. The Home Ministry announced Thursday that this is the first phase of a broader (更廣泛的) effort involving 5,000 eligible individuals. The first group, identified by Myanmar's government, will be sent back on Sept. 29 on Myanmar's navy vessels. As of Aug. 15, the ministry said over 10-thousand Myanmar nationals were held in immigration detention depots (拘留所). It said the government is also introducing a new Refugee Registration Document to manage refugees and asylum seekers. That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

În noul episod Vorbitorincii, l-am invitat pe jurnalistul Vitalie Cojocari pentru o discuție directă și la obiect despre tot ce se întâmplă acum în Republica Moldova și Rusia. Pornim de la dilema pe care am avut-o și noi și parcă nu au trecut atât de mulți ani încât s-o uităm: știa Ceaușescu despre adevărata viață a românilor? Împreună cu Vitalie, ne întrebăm de această dată cât știe cu adevărat liderul de la Kremlin despre problemele reale ale cetățenilor săi. Discutăm despre criza carburanților din Rusia, despre modul în care se strânge șurubul politic prin interzicerea oricăror critici la adresa războiului și despre tentația Moscovei de a migra spre un capitalism de stat de inspirație chineză. Nu ocolim nici tema sensibilă a relațiilor dintre România și Republica Moldova; vorbim deschis despre absența unui plan concret pe hârtie între București și Chișinău, dar și despre de ce Moldova rămâne, în esență, o Românie în miniatură, cu toate frumusețile și provocările ei comune. Apoi, schimbăm registrul și trecem la povești de calitate depănate la o gură de bere în compania lui Constantin Bratu, Director General Berarii României. Completăm atmosfera relaxată cu rubrica noastră obișnuită de recomandări culturale și cărți care merită citite. 00:00:00 Promo 00:03:05 Vă povestim ce am mai făcut în ultimele două săptămâni: am infruntat căldura din Paris cu câteva bunătăți la îndemână, am trecut scurt prin München, am descoperit că Sfântul Radu chiar există în calendarul ortodox și am venit cu impresii calde de la Bienala de Artă de la Veneția, dar și cu ideea unui viitor roman. Iar la final, vă lăsăm cu o dilemă culinară fără ocolișuri: ce alegeți între parizer cu pâine și baghetă cu unt sărat? Așteptăm răspunsurile voastre în comentarii! 00:44:15 Viața în RoMoldova. Cu Vitalie Cojocari 02:06:08 Spuma filelor sosește cu următoarele recomandări: Vulcan - Elena Alexieva, Noul ghid al nesimțitului - Radu Paraschivescu, Lumea noastră orwelliană - Thierry Wolton 02:32:36 (P) Povești la un pahar cu bere, în compania lui Constantin Bratu, Director General Berarii României 03:21:08 Recomandări culturale marca Diana Popescu 03:41:45 Oale, ulcele și tigăi

VOV1 - Bộ Quốc phòng Romania cho biết, máy bay chiến đấu của Tây Ban Nha đã bắn hạ một máy bay không người lái (UAV) xâm nhập không phận nước này, gần khu vực biên giới với Ukraine và MoldovaTheo thông báo của Bộ Quốc phòng Romania, máy bay không người lái (UAV) xâm phạm không phận nước này bay đến từ phía Moldova và đã bị máy bay chiến đấu F-18 (F-18 Hornet) của Tây Ban Nha bắn hạ khi đang thực hiện nhiệm vụ trong khuôn khổ NATO. Mảnh vỡ của UAV đã rơi xuống khu vực không có dân cư thuộc vùng Galati, gần biên giới với Ukraine.Bộ Quốc phòng Romania cho biết, cơ quan này liên tục theo dõi tình hình và chia sẻ thông tin theo thời gian thực về các sự cố tương tự với các đồng minh NATO, đồng thời cam kết sẽ cung cấp thông tin chi tiết về vụ việc này trong thời gian tới.Bộ trưởng Quốc phòng Romania Radu Miruta khẳng định, Romania nằm ở tuyến đầu trong hệ thống phòng thủ của EU, với đường biên giới chung trên bộ dài khoảng 614 km với Ukraine. Vụ việc bắn hạ UAV xâm phạm không phận lần này là một sự đảm bảo an ninh dựa trên phản ứng nhanh chóng và tình đoàn kết giữa các quốc gia thành viên NATO.Trong khi đó, ông Marty O'Donnell, người phát ngôn của NATO nhấn mạnh, Liên minh luôn trong trạng thái cảnh giác cao và sẵn sàng tự bảo vệ trước mọi mối đe dọa, đồng thời cho rằng, đây là vụ bắn hạ UAV thành công thứ tư trên không phận Romania do NATO thực hiện. Chiến dịch này được điều phối thông qua Trung tâm Điều hành Không quân Liên hợp của NATO tại Torrejón, Tây Ban Nha.Vụ việc mới nhất này diễn ra trong bối cảnh số lượng các vụ UAV xâm phạm không phận Romania có xu hướng gia tăng trong những tuần gần đây. Trước đó, vào tháng 7 vừa qua, các phi công lái máy bay chiến đấu F-16 của Romania cũng đã bắn hạ 3 UAV xâm phạm không phận quốc gia. Trong khi đó, vào tháng 5/2026, một UAV rơi xuống khu chung cư ở Galați của Romania khiến 2 người bị thương./. Như Hoa - VOV SécẢnh minh họa-Theo Reuters
Maria Snegovaya sits down with Nate Vance — a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who enlisted in the Ukrainian Armed Forces after the 2022 invasion — to discuss Ukrainian and Russian military tactics, life as an infantryman on the front lines, and the impact of Soviet legacies on military culture. Vance spent three years with the Da Vinci Wolves, seeing action from Bakhmut to Pokrovsk, before leaving in early 2025 when his first cousin JD Vance's rise to the vice presidency made him a potential Russian target.

Lidia Scarlat is a Moldova-born producer who has built a career spanning animation, motion, VFX and live events — from stage visuals for the Swan Lake Ballet to screen visuals for Jurassic World theme park, often in the very same week. ~ Raised in a family of artists during Moldova's turbulent post-Soviet transition, she talks with Radim about how "everything is temporary and it will be fine" became a defining philosophy, why producing means jumping off the cliff before the artist ever can, and how showing up — not waiting to be discovered — built her entire career. They also get into AI's growing role in creative pipelines and why taste, direction and storytelling remain the parts no machine can touch.TAKEAWAYSGrowing up in post-Soviet Moldova, Lidia's family shielded her from real instability while instilling the belief that everything is temporary and will be fineShe comes from generations of artists — a polymath great-grandfather, actor grandparents, ballet-dancer parents — yet chose producing as her own way into the artsProducing means saying yes before anything exists — no team, no roadmap, just the intuition that you'll figure it outNobody gets discovered by waiting; showing up to conferences and communities, starting with Motionographer and later OFFF, built her entire network and careerShe deliberately gives opportunities to artists without polished portfolios, because desire and hunger can't be faked or boughtLearning to ask "stupid" questions early, instead of pretending to understand, became one of her most valuable production skillsEvery project is treated as its own "mutant" — pipeline and pace are built around the people and personalities involved, not a fixed processOn AI: she's watched teams move from fear to curiosity, using it to iterate concepts faster, while believing taste and storytelling remain irreplaceableHer real measure of a good project isn't the outcome alone, but whether she'll love looking back on the process of making it Daring Forever.

This weeks ai slop is served up by DeepSeek v4 Pro. I tried to use Kimi but it got stuck generating the notes. So now you get this. Could be worse. Episode SummaryJack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack return for a wide-ranging conversation that spans the turbulent state of Australian politics and the precarious state of global affairs. The episode opens with striking Redbridge polling data suggesting One Nation could pick up as many as 19 seats in the upcoming Victorian state election -- a result that would leave neither major party able to form government in its own right. The Jacks explore the mechanics of minority government, the prospect of a marriage of convenience between the Liberals and One Nation, and whether Labor voters in protest mode could deliver One Nation unexpected inroads into heartland seats.The domestic focus then shifts to the Australian economy. Drawing on former ACTU Secretary Bill Kelty's recent analysis, the hosts dissect a bureaucracy more concerned with treating symptoms than causes, lamenting squandered billions on unused quarantine centres, infrastructure costs among the highest in the world, and a housing crisis driven by a failure to train enough workers. The conversation turns to political courage -- or the lack of it -- comparing today's risk-averse governing class with the Hawke-Keating reform era, when fringe benefits tax was meant to kill the long lunch but somehow did not.A spirited defence of Emerge Australia -- an advocacy group training GPs to diagnose and treat myalgic encephalomyelitis (chronic fatigue syndrome) -- highlights the government's decision to cut a mere $400,000 in funding, a move Jack the Insider brands disgraceful for an organisation serving an estimated 250,000 Australians. Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme reform also gets a hearing, with pharmaceutical companies increasingly bypassing Australia for clinical trials.Internationally, the Jacks confront the escalating dangers of the Russia-Ukraine war. With Ukraine making Crimea increasingly uninhabitable and Vladimir Putin backed into a corner, the prospect of an attack on a NATO or NATO-aligned state looms. The conversation covers Russia's cancelled bond sale, the shifting power dynamic between Putin and Xi Jinping, and thousands of Russian passports arriving in Moldova -- a familiar prelude to intervention. On Iran, the hosts reflect on the Trump administration's military strikes, oil climbing past USD 100 a barrel, and the political consequences for the upcoming US midterm elections.The episode closes with sport: the FIFA World Cup (and Argentina's remarkable ability to unify the football world in mutual disdain), the AFL's handling of the Nicky Winmar domestic violence case and questions of consistency, the end of the Bazball era in English Test cricket, a warm tribute to the late Sir Garfield Sobers, and rugby union's new Nations Championship format.Timestamped Highlights(All timestamps adjusted +25 seconds to account for theme music.)00:00:26 -- Introduction and Banter Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack open the show trading observations on air conditioning, long lunches, and the perils of sitting directly beneath the vent.00:01:32 -- One Nation's Victorian Polling Surge Redbridge polling data indicates One Nation could win as many as 19 seats in the Victorian state election. In an 88-seat legislature, that would make a majority for either major party almost impossible.00:02:52 -- Minority Government Mechanics Hong Kong Jack explains the constitutional pathway: if no party wins a majority, the sitting Premier gets the first conversation with the Governor and may be recommissioned to form government.00:04:20 -- A Three-Cornered Contest Jack the Insider argues the Allan government is at the end of the road, but the Liberal alternative inspires little confidence. One Nation may poll well in Labor heartland seats as protest voters look for an outlet that is not the Liberal Party.00:06:33 -- The Polling vs. the Pencil Hong Kong Jack predicts One Nation's polling numbers will soften once voters are alone in the booth with an HB pencil hovering over the ballot paper.00:08:32 -- Commonwealth Games Land in Glasgow The hosts acknowledge the Commonwealth Games have begun -- in Glasgow, not Victoria. The opening ceremony featured King Charles and Queen Camilla emerging from a Doctor Who TARDIS.00:10:50 -- Pauline Hanson and the Tommy Robinson Interview The Jacks dissect Hanson's decision to interview the controversial British figure, with Hong Kong Jack arguing the motivation is straightforward: publicity, good or bad.00:12:12 -- Factions Within One Nation Barnaby Joyce's visible discomfort with the Robinson interview signals internal tensions. Jack the Insider warns One Nation risks veering further towards the "lunar right."00:13:30 -- Two Australias: The Great Dog Divide A detour into the changing culture of pet ownership. Jack the Insider contrasts the utilitarian farm dogs of his Reservoir childhood with the multi-billion-dollar industry of designer dog beds, pushchairs, and booties.00:15:59 -- Bill Kelty's Economic Diagnosis Former ACTU Secretary Bill Kelty delivers a blunt assessment: Australian governments have spent decades treating symptoms rather than causes -- quarantine centres never used, infrastructure costs at world-record levels, a housing crisis born of under-investment in skills.00:17:59 -- The Courage Deficit Hong Kong Jack argues the current government, like its recent predecessors, lacks political boldness. The Prime Minister's Labor conference speech seemed "spooked by One Nation" rather than offering a growth narrative.00:19:22 -- The Keating Comparison Jack the Insider revisits the Hawke-Keating reform era, noting the howls of outrage that greeted early reforms -- including fringe benefits tax, which was meant to "kill lunch" but somehow did not. The difference today: social media amplifies every backlash.00:23:02 -- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Funding Cut An urgent segment on the defunding of Emerge Australia, an advocacy group that has trained roughly 10% of the nation's GPs in diagnosing and treating ME/CFS. The cut amounts to approximately $400,000 -- a sum Jack the Insider describes as negligible in public expenditure but catastrophic for the 250,000 Australians living with the condition.00:26:37 -- The PBS and Australia's Clinical Trial Problem Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly bypassing Australia for clinical trials, leaving patients with rare conditions to raise extraordinary sums for overseas treatment. The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme's pricing structure may require root-and-branch reform, particularly for newly developed drugs.00:29:50 -- What Should Labor Do About One Nation? Hong Kong Jack's prescription is simple: fix the economy and stop saying silly things. One Nation will wither on the vine if economic growth returns.00:30:17 -- Derryn Hinch: The Human Headline Remembered The former broadcaster, senator, and Justice Party founder has died aged 82. The Jacks reflect on a complicated legacy -- a man who transformed Melbourne talkback radio and tabloid television, was twice married to Jacki Weaver, and whose profound impact on the media is tempered by a deeply troubling intervention in the justice system.00:32:00 -- The Glennon Case: When a Headline Cost Children Their Safety Jack the Insider recounts in detail how Hinch's decision to publicly name convicted paedophile priest Michael Glennon during an active trial led to the suspension of proceedings, an eventual overturned conviction, and a four-year window in which Glennon continued operating camps and abusing children -- as many as 20 additional victims.00:38:14 -- Hinch's Media Legacy Despite the Glennon tragedy, Hong Kong Jack credits Hinch with changing the sound of Melbourne radio. The talkback format he pioneered arguably saved stations like 3AW.00:40:32 -- Ukraine and the Battle for Crimea The Ukrainians cannot hold Crimea, but they are making it unliveable. Water, electricity, and supplies have been cut. Crimeans are fleeing en masse. The Russian Black Sea Fleet has effectively ceased to exist.00:42:13 -- Putin Backed Into a Corner Jack the Insider warns that Vladimir Putin, when cornered, does not act rationally. The spectre of an attack on a NATO country -- perhaps a Baltic state -- or on Moldova is real. Putin cannot sue for peace; it would mean the end of him.00:44:21 -- Russia's Economic Pressure Points Hong Kong Jack notes that Russia cancelled a regular bond sale last week after failing to find buyers. The economic squeeze is mounting. Putin and his deeply unpopular party are now being fused together ahead of elections.00:47:13 -- Russian Passports Arrive in Moldova Thousands of Russian passports have been shipped to Moldova -- the same playbook used in Crimea and eastern Ukraine before intervention.00:49:32 -- Iran, the Houthis, and Oil Above USD 100 US strikes on Iran continue. Houthi attacks in the Red Sea have struck oil tankers. The price of crude has pushed past USD 100 a barrel -- a politically dangerous number for Donald Trump four months out from the midterms.00:50:33 -- The Netanyahu Pitch for Regime Change Jack the Insider recounts the scene from Swan and Haberman's book: Benjamin Netanyahu presenting a case for US-Israeli combined bombing to achieve regime change in Iran. Trump was impressed; Marco Rubio and the CIA director were not.00:52:56 -- US Midterms: The Democratic Candidate Problem The Democrats' prospects are muddied by candidate issues including the withdrawal of Graham Plattner over sexual assault allegations and the party's persistent inability to select candidates who genuinely connect with the white working class.00:54:40 -- Tim Waltz, John Kerry, and Authenticity Hong Kong Jack contrasts the Democrats' clumsy attempts to project authenticity -- Tim Waltz hunting, John Kerry windsurfing -- with the reality that Kerry was an ice hockey player who once attended a White House meeting with two black eyes from a congressional game.00:58:19 -- The Sickness in American Democracy Jack the Insider argues the two-party lock on presidential politics -- achieved partly by keeping third-party candidates off ballots in roughly 30 states -- is profoundly undemocratic. With 40% of voters now registering as independents, millions have no candidate who represents them.00:59:43 -- Can Trump Disrupt the Midterms? Hong Kong Jack analyses the constitutional limits on presidential interference in state-run elections. Any attempt to use emergency powers would go straight to court.01:03:43 -- Marine Le Pen: France's Next President? Polling around 67%, Le Pen is the frontrunner for the French presidential election. Her felony conviction for misusing EU funds appears to be no impediment.01:05:09 -- Andy Burnham's Fast Start as UK Prime Minister The new PM has hit the ground running with popular measures: a GBP 2 bus fare cap across England, 20% business rate cuts for pubs, clubs, and live music venues, and the scrapping of VAT on domestic electricity bills.01:07:36 -- Britain's Investment Challenge The biggest test for Burnham will be attracting investment. The UK has 11 million working-age citizens on benefits -- a figure now exceeding tax receipts.01:09:03 -- FIFA World Cup: Argentina Triumphs, Trump Photobombs Argentina are world champions, but not before a petition signed by millions demanded their exclusion from the final. Donald Trump appeared on the podium; the Spanish commemorative photos, the Jacks note, did not include him.01:11:07 -- The Refereeing and the Expansion The officiating was patchy, but the expanded tournament format was vindicated. Seeing Cape Verde, Australia, New Zealand, and Iran compete gave the event a genuinely global feel.01:14:23 -- Nicky Winmar, the AFL Hall of Fame, and Domestic Violence The Jacks grapple with the AFL's removal of Winmar from the Hall of Fame following a domestic violence conviction. Jack the Insider questions the consistency: Wayne Carey and Gary Ablett Sr. remain honoured. Hong Kong Jack suggests a suspension rather than permanent expulsion would have been more appropriate, arguing that football cannot be reserved for choirboys.01:19:06 -- Bazball's End: The McCallum Era Concludes Baz McCallum is out as England's Test coach after 49 Tests: 27 wins, 20 losses. Ten of the first eleven were victories; seven of the last nine were defeats. The hosts debate whether Bazball added to cricket's audience even if it could not sustainably win Test matches.01:23:20 -- Sir Garfield Sobers: The Greatest of All Time A warm tribute to the late West Indian legend. Jack the Insider recalls meeting Sobers at the Hilton in Barbados. Hong Kong Jack shares the story of Sobers -- completely ambidextrous -- playing golf off scratch left-handed and off two right-handed.01:27:53 -- Rugby Union's Nations Championship A new format pits Northern Hemisphere sides against Southern Hemisphere sides, culminating in finals at Twickenham. Hong Kong Jack is sceptical anyone will care which hemisphere wins. The 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia, however, is selling tickets strongly.01:30:00 -- Sign-Off Jack the Insider thanks listeners and apologises for the previous week's absence due to illness. The hosts promise to return on or around 31 July, though Hong Kong Jack advises against buying "20-year futures in us."Social Media PostsTwitter / XPost 1: One Nation could win up to 19 seats in the Victorian election.

Recorded early in the morning in a green area on the outskirts of Chișinău, this piece listens to the softer edge of the city.Birds fill the space, with only a distant sense of the urban world behind them. It shows another side of the capital: quieter, greener, more open. The recording feels like a pause from the streets, where nature comes forward and the city almost disappears into the background.Recorded in Chisinau, Moldova by Rafael Diogo.

This episode unpacks the unique challenges faced by women leaders, their contributions to democracy, and the critical lessons they offer in the fight against authoritarianism. Enter the CFR book giveaway by July 8, 2026, for the chance to win one of ten free copies of Women in Power by Linda Robinson. You can read the terms and conditions of the offer here. Host: James M. Lindsay, Mary and David Boies Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy, CFR Guest: Linda Robinson, Senior Fellow for Women and Foreign Policy, CFR; Author, Women in Power: Fighting for Democracy in an Age of Authoritarianism We Discuss: Why women's political representation has stalled at roughly 27 percent in the world's legislatures. How right-wing authoritarianism and the normalization of violent misogyny have combined to create ferocious headwinds for women in politics. Whether women govern differently from men, and what the research reveals about their attentiveness to health, education, welfare, and climate issues. Why rolling back women's rights is central to authoritarian and right-wing movements, and why playing the "misogyny card" proves so effective, even among women voters. Why some of the most prominent nationalist movements—in Italy, France, and Germany—are led by women, and how right-leaning figures like Giorgia Meloni complicate the picture. How authoritarian governments use hybrid warfare and gendered disinformation against women leaders, including Chinese campaigns against Taiwan's Tsai Ing-wen and Russian campaigns against Moldova's Maia Sandu. Which common themes emerge among successful women leaders. Which policy reforms could strengthen both democracy and women's political participation.
