Stijn Schmitz welcomes back Steve Hanke back to the show. Steve Hanke is a Professor of Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University. Hanke highlights the two major wars—the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran and the Ukraine war—as critical disruptors of global commodity flows. He notes that the Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed, with Iran controlling it, and the Houthis threaten the Red Sea chokepoint, severely constricting crude and refined product supplies. Russia's cutoff of diesel exports and domestic fuel shortages compound the strain. Oil markets are in backwardation, with spot prices above futures, signaling dangerously low inventories that have cushioned prices so far but are nearing depletion. Hanke warns that once physical inventories run out, oil prices could spike dramatically, potentially later this summer. He advises going long on oil, especially major producers, as a straightforward trade for most investors. On gold, Hanke maintains a bullish outlook, projecting a peak around $6,000 per ounce based on historical ratios to real disposable income. He attributes recent pullbacks to dollar strength and rising interest rates but sees central bank buying as a fundamental driver. He also discusses the pressure on the Fed to monetize debt, which could fuel inflation and support gold. The conversation shifts to the broader commodity supercycle, fueled by deglobalization, underinvestment, and the need for larger precautionary inventories. Copper and tungsten are identified as clear bullish plays due to supply deficits. Hanke notes that high diesel prices are squeezing mining and agriculture, potentially raising output prices. He also touches on dollarization, recommending developing countries adopt the U.S. dollar to expand its use rather than de-dollarize. The interview concludes with Hanke emphasizing the importance of money supply growth as the key determinant of nominal GDP and inflation.

North Macedonia has waited 21 years at the EU's door. Zoran Dimitrovski and Linas Kojala ask what delay now costs Europe. Look at a map and the unresolved logic is striking. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia are almost entirely surrounded by EU and NATO members. These countries are not on some distant European frontier. They form an enclave within the Union's own geography. In 2003, at the Thessaloniki summit, the EU promised the Western Balkans a European future. More than two decades later, Croatia remains the last country to have joined, back in 2013. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, enlargement has shifted from a slow technical process to an urgent geopolitical question: what happens when Europe leaves a space inside its own borders unfilled? My guests brought two unusually powerful perspectives to that question. Zoran Dimitrovski, North Macedonia's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, spent 35 years as a journalist before entering government. He edited some of his country's leading newspapers, reported from Washington, wrote more than 1,500 articles and investigations, and continues to teach critical thinking and analytical writing. Alongside him was Linas Kojala, CEO of the Geopolitics and Security Studies Center in Vilnius and a lecturer at Vilnius University. A Fulbright scholar with studies at Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard, Kojala has written about Lithuania's own journey into the European Union and has been ranked among his country's most influential public figures. Twenty-one years at the front door North Macedonia became an EU candidate in 2005, around the same time as Croatia. Yet it still has not opened substantive accession negotiations. The country first faced a long dispute with Greece over its name, eventually resolved through the Prespa Agreement and the adoption of the name North Macedonia. That opened the way into NATO. A second dispute then emerged with neighbouring Bulgaria, involving language, identity, history and the recognition of a Bulgarian community within North Macedonia's constitution. Zoran Dimitrovski did not deny the work still required within his own country. North Macedonia must continue aligning its laws with the EU, strengthening the judiciary and fighting corruption. His argument was that these shortcomings were not the principal reason the country had been stopped. This describes one of the demands that, in Dimitrovski's view, reach beyond the Copenhagen criteria governing democratic institutions, human rights, the rule of law and a functioning market economy. There is, however, responsibility on both sides of the border and both sides of the accession table. The European Parliament's latest assessment expresses regret at North Macedonia's lack of progress, calling for the constitutional amendments, stronger cross-party cooperation and deeper reforms. Yet that same resolution warns that bilateral disputes over language, culture and national identity should not be used to obstruct accession. This is the uncomfortable heart of the story: the EU must remain demanding enough for membership to retain meaning, while remaining fair enough for its promises to retain credibility. The rules were written for a different Europe Kojala argued that the enlargement machinery itself must adapt to a radically altered security landscape. The process still requires unanimity at critical stages, allowing one member state to hold up another country's progress. Under normal circumstances, such caution might be defensible. These, he stressed, are not normal circumstances. The EU's decision-making can be painfully slow because 27 governments must agree on decisions touching sovereignty, money and national interest. Kojala compared it to 27 friends attempting to choose a restaurant, except that several of them may not be friends and the decisions are monumental. The central question is therefore whether procedures devised 20 years ago are still adequate for a Europe facing war, cyber-attacks, sabotage, disinformation and growing competition from authoritarian powers. Railways, bridges and the architecture of security EU enlargement may sound abstract, but it rapidly becomes concrete. It is about railway lines, bridges, roads, energy systems and digital networks. Dimitrovski pointed to Corridors VIII and X, which cross North Macedonia and connect the Adriatic, Black and Aegean Seas with wider Europe. These routes matter for trade and daily life, but also for NATO's ability to move personnel and equipment across the continent. A bridge too weak to carry military vehicles is simultaneously an infrastructure problem, an economic weakness and a security vulnerability. Kojala offered a useful challenge to the language of cost. Security spending is often discussed as money disappearing from productive use. Yet roads, schools, housing, communications and transport capacity remain in the communities where they are built. The same is true of enlargement: investment in the Western Balkans is not charity at Europe's edge. It is investment in the resilience of the continent as a whole. A vacuum rarely stays empty Russia remains an influential force in Serbia and parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Chinese lending and infrastructure investment have expanded across the region. Dimitrovski was careful not to suggest that the Western Balkans would simply abandon Europe for Moscow or Beijing. His warning was more subtle. Prolonged uncertainty can produce weaker institutions, frustrated populations and a region increasingly exposed to financial pressure, political manipulation and disinformation. Europe therefore faces a choice that is larger than whether another flag appears outside the institutions in Brussels. It must decide whether the Western Balkans are genuinely part of its future, and demonstrate that belief through fair conditions, credible timelines and visible results. Kojala described the European Union as something close to a “boring miracle”: cumbersome, imperfect and endlessly predicted to collapse, yet remarkably capable of adapting and surviving. That miracle now requires another act of political imagination. The Western Balkans have spent more than 20 years hearing that their future lies inside the European Union. Europe may now need to ask a harder question of itself: how long can a promise remain credible before waiting becomes its own form of rejection?

In today's Good Morning Portugal news headlines (16 July 2026), PM Luís Montenegro will open the State of the Nation debate, facing pressure over the national exam grading crisis and public service efficiency. In migration news, AIMA will begin automatically assigning social security numbers to foreign residents later this month, aiming to speed up residency processing. The EU urged Portugal to prioritise affordable housing and healthcare investment while maintaining fiscal discipline, while Economy Minister Manuel Castro Almeida announced plans to cut business red tape by autumn, replacing prior notifications with technical declarations to ease small business setup. Portugal continues to hold the second-highest VAT rate in Europe, and national inflation reached 5%, though essential food basket prices saw a marginal dip this week. Other headlines included a major fire destroying ten warehouses in Paredes, a Science and Innovation Forum in Lisbon drawing over 1,000 organisations, an upcoming parliamentary debate on public ownership of Portuguese beaches, the CPLP Youth Summit in Cascais promoting integration and gender equality, continued US investor confidence in the Portuguese market, and news that an uninhabited island in Aveiro is set to be auctioned for luxury housing development.

Foi com dois ministros envoltos em polémicas que Luís Montenegro entrou no debate do estado da nação desta quinta-feira. Pressionado pela oposição, garantiu que mantém a confiança – "plenamente" – no titular da Administração Interna, Luís Neves, assim como "em todos os ministros". Quanto ao processo de classificação digital dos exames nacionais, elogiou o ministro da Educação, rejeitou um cenário de "caos" e fez um mea culpa ao admitir que "nem tudo correu bem".

Teotónio, no concelho de Odemira, no Alentejo, até as mesmas estarem concluídas. Em causa a polémica relacionada com o facto de Luís Neves ter recorrido aos serviços de um empreiteiro que foi contratado para fazer obras para a Polícia Judiciária (PJ) entre 2020 e 2023.

Primeiro as coisas sem importância. Montenegro, o amuleto, segundo Hugo Soares, atravessou o Atlântico seis vezes; se a ideia era trazer a taça, a travessia foi em vão: o Mundial de futebol acabou para a selecção e a selecção acabou para Martinez. Mas Ronaldo continua até querer, já disse o novo seleccionador. Um pouco mais importante é o facto de em Almada, com o Tejo ali ao lado, não haver água nas torneiras. Maior importância ainda deve atribuir-se a à tentativa de adivinhar qual a próxima justificação do ministro da educação para a confusão na correcção dos exames do secundário.

Dr. Victor Santiago Pineda Award Winner International Activist as the Executive Director of CIL!  With his extensive experience as a global advocate for disability rights and his innovative vision, Dr. Pineda is set to lead the Center for Independent Living into an exhilarating new chapter of empowerment and inclusion.Victor Santiago Pineda was born in Caracas, Venezuela, At the age of two, Pineda was hospitalized with a high fever and for the next five years he demonstrated gradual weakening of his skeletal muscles. By age four, his weakened muscles caused him to fall repeatedly and by age seven, he stopped walking completely. His muscular deterioration would continue and eventually affect his breathing. By the time he was in high school, he needed to use a ventilator at night, and by the time he started his doctoral program in his late-twenties, he required a ventilator twenty-four hours per day.As a child, Pineda was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA-Type II), a form of muscular dystrophy. However, as an adult, he was examined by a neurophysiologist who, with the use of electromyography, determined that there was no evidence to suggest Spinal muscular atrophy. The specific cause of Pineda's muscle weakness was identified as collagenopathy VI, resulting from an extremely common genetic mutation.Pineda attended Corona Del Mar High School in Newport Beach, California, and was selected by his graduating class as a commencement speaker. Upon graduating in 1997, Pineda attended the California Youth Leadership Forum for Students with Disabilities (YLF). As a freshman at the University of California Berkeley, he received specialized support services provided by the Disabled Students Office (DSP) and participated in the Disabled Students Residence Program (DSRP).While at UC Berkeley was elected senator for the ASUC student government, defended ethnic studies, with the leadership of Andrew Berk, he helped resurrect the long dormant Disabled Students Union (DSU). During this time he established the Disability Media Initiative (DMI) and the Pineda Foundation to provide 21st century workforce skills to youth with disabilities. Pineda earned a B.A. in political economy, a B.S. in business administration and, eventually, a master's degree in city and regional planning (MCP) with a concentration in regional economic development. He then accepted an internship in Washington, D.C., where he served as a summer associate at the US Treasury's Department of International Affairs.Pineda was awarded the Paul G. Hearne Award.Pineda's "It's About Ability" projectwas honored in Montenegro for the Best Humanitarian Action by UNICEF.Also in 2011, he received the prestigious Mark Bingham Award for Excellence in Achievement by a Young Alumnus/a, Cal Alumni Association for his work in education and human rights.© 2026 Building Abundant Success!!2026 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBAS

Connor en Lia bespreken het einde van het premierschap van Starmer, de reden achter de onverwacht grote overwinning van Burnham, diens kansen in 'number 10', zijn toekomstplannen en de link met Nederland: zijn vrouw! Lia zit in Montenegro, vandaar dat de aflevering niet altijd klinkt zoals je gewend bent. Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee. Elke woensdag krijg je een nieuwe podcast over het leven van Van Bekhovens Britten in je podcastapp. Scherpe analyses, diepgang waar op de radio geen tijd voor is en een flinke portie humor. Abonneer en mis geen aflevering.

As political and business leaders gather in Dalian, Liaoning province, for the 17th Annual Meeting of the New Champions of the World Economic Forum, global attention is turning to how China will use the event to reinforce its role in championing stable growth and practical cooperation at a time of mounting global economic uncertainty.各国政商领袖齐聚辽宁大连，出席世界经济论坛第十七届新领军者年会，全球目光聚焦中国将如何借助此次论坛，在全球经济不确定性持续攀升的当下，进一步发挥引领作用，倡导稳定增长与务实合作。Premier Li Qiang underscored China's commitment to strengthening cooperation with various countries in emerging sectors and enhancing development synergy, as he held a series of bilateral meetings with heads of government on Tuesday on the sidelines of the event, also known as the Summer Davos forum. The prime ministers Li met with were Guinea's Amadou Oury Bah, Kazakhstan's Olzhas Bektenov, the Republic of Korea's Kim Min-seok, Mongolia's Nyam-Osor Uchral and Montenegro's Milojko Spajic.本届论坛又称夏季达沃斯，李强总理于周二在论坛期间同多国政府首脑举行双边会见，着重阐明中方愿同各国加强新兴产业合作、提升发展协同效应。此次会见的各国总理包括几内亚总理阿马杜·乌里·巴、哈萨克斯坦总理奥尔扎斯·别克捷诺夫、韩国总理金民锡、蒙古国总理尼亚姆·奥索尔·乌其尔勒、黑山总理米洛伊科·斯帕伊奇。During the meeting with Bektenov, Li voiced China's readiness to work with Kazakhstan to expand bilateral trade, deepen cooperation in energy and mineral resources, enhance connectivity, and broaden collaboration in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, smart cities, big data and the digital economy — injecting fresh momentum into the modernization drive of both nations.在同别克捷诺夫会见时，李强表示，中方愿同哈萨克斯坦扩大双边贸易，深化能源矿产领域合作，提升互联互通水平，并拓展人工智能、智慧城市、大数据、数字经济等新兴领域协作，为两国现代化建设注入全新动能。While meeting with Kim, Li called on both sides to seize new opportunities for innovation-driven development, and stressed efforts to advance an open Asia-Pacific economy, uphold free trade and multilateralism, and keep global industrial and supply chains secure and stable.会见金民锡时，李强提出，中韩双方应抢抓创新驱动发展新机遇，着力推进开放型亚太经济，坚持自由贸易与多边主义，维护全球产业链供应链安全稳定。The foreign government heads pledged efforts to deepen collaboration with China across various sectors. Uchral Nyam-Osor, the Mongolian prime minister, said that Mongolia is ready to enhance synergy between its national development strategy and China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), and to bolster cooperation in trade, cross-border connectivity, infrastructure, energy and mining, agriculture and the green economy.各国政府首脑均承诺，将深化各领域对华合作。蒙古国总理尼亚姆·奥索尔·乌奇尔勒表示，蒙古愿推动本国发展战略同中国“十五”规划（2026—2030年）对接协同，加强贸易、跨境互联互通、基础设施、能源矿产、农业、绿色经济领域合作。The three-day event, which began on Tuesday, brings together more than 1,700 leaders from the business, government, academic and media communities from over 90 countries and regions to discuss ways to boost world economic growth and cooperation.本次论坛为期三日，自周二启幕，汇聚来自90多个国家和地区的1700余名商界、政界、学界、媒体代表，共同探讨提振全球经济增长、深化国际合作的路径。Long regarded as a key platform for promoting exchanges between China and the world and enhancing practical cooperation, the annual gathering also speaks volumes about global stakeholders' broad recognition of China and their unwavering confidence in its prospects amid worldwide volatility.该年会长期以来是联通中国与世界、推进务实合作的重要平台，也充分体现出，在全球局势动荡多变的背景下，全球各方利益相关者对中国的广泛认可，以及对中国发展前景坚定不移的信心。Some participants stressed that the world's second-largest economy is a reliable partner for joint innovation, practical cooperation and shared growth.多位参会代表强调，作为全球第二大经济体，中国是携手创新、务实合作、共赢发展的可靠伙伴。Pontus Erntell, who oversees Ikea's operations in China, described the country as a strategic market where the Swedish home furnishing giant has been deeply rooted for a long time.宜家中国区负责人庞安泽表示，中国是宜家这家瑞典家居巨头深耕多年的战略核心市场。"China is one of very few countries outside of Sweden where we have all parts of the value chain. It is a market where we truly want to develop, learn and collaborate with local partners," he said.他表示：“除瑞典本土外，全球极少有国家能让我们完整布局全产业链，中国就是其中之一。我们十分希望在这片市场深耕发展，与本土伙伴相互学习、携手合作。”Jiang Ying, chair of Deloitte China, said that China's complete industrial system, resilient economic fundamentals and continued high-level opening-up remain key pillars supporting the country's long-term growth.德勤中国主席蒋颖表示，完备的产业体系、富有韧性的经济基本盘、持续推进的高水平对外开放，是支撑中国长期稳定增长的核心支柱。Jiang said emerging sectors such as AI and the low-altitude economy are set to make further breakthroughs, while the coordinated development of traditional and new growth drivers will help sustain China's economic momentum.蒋颖提到，人工智能、低空经济等新兴产业将迎来更多突破，新旧增长动能协同发展，能够持续稳固中国经济增长动能。"The long-term value of the Chinese market lies in its vast and dynamic consumer base, vibrant technological and industrial innovation, and continued high-level opening-up," Jiang said.蒋颖称：“中国市场的长期价值，源于规模庞大、活力充沛的消费群体，蓬勃兴旺的产业技术创新，以及持续推进的高水平对外开放。”Chafic Nassif, senior vice-president at communications tech giant Ericsson and head of Ericsson Northeast Asia, said that China's combination of "scale, speed of execution and innovative industrial ecosystem" makes it a uniquely critical market in the global technology landscape.通信巨头爱立信东北亚区高级副总裁Chafic Nassif表示，中国兼具市场规模、落地执行效率与创新产业生态，在全球科技版图中拥有独一无二的重要地位。multilateralism /ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm/多边主义synergy /ˈsɪnədʒi/协同效应、发展合力stakeholder /ˈsteɪkhəʊldə(r)/利益相关方volatility /ˌvɒləˈtɪləti/动荡、波动resilient /rɪˈzɪliənt/有韧性的

In this latest episode of the World War I Podcast, we are joined by Lillian Pfluke, a retired U.S. Army major and a member of the pioneering first class of women to graduate from West Point in 1980. After her military career, she spent ten years working for the American Battle Monuments Commission as the Private Memorials Administrator of the European Region before founding American War Memorials Overseas, an organization dedicated to identifying and preserving the thousands of U.S. war memorials found around the world. In this conversation, we discussed the many private World War I memorials overseas, what they commemorate, and why they continue to matter more than a century later. Learn more about American War Memorials Overseas.Links to photos of memorials discussed: WWI Medal of Honor awardee in Montenegro: https://www.uswarmemorials.org/html/monument_details.php?SiteID=1379&MemID=1812Dudley Tucker: https://www.uswarmemorials.org/html/monument_details.php?SiteID=155&MemID=235Aviation Training Center Monument with 171 training accident death: https://www.uswarmemorials.org/html/monument_details.php?SiteID=614&MemID=897&keyword=paudyIs-sur-Tille: https://www.uswarmemorials.org/html/monument_details.php?SiteID=227&MemID=350&keyword=is+sur+tilleMurville link: https://www.uswarmemorials.org/admin/images/memorials/1369759936Murville(2).JPG.Have a comment about this episode?

Two weeks in a car, driving through Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, back into Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Montenegro. An amazing trip, some stress-inducing driving experiences (narrow roads, manual transmission and left hand drive... a great combination!), and scenery that was simply beyond expectations. Followed up with a 7 night island-hopping cruise from Dubrovnik to Trogir.

A pátria, em chuteiras, parou para assistir ao sonolento jogo de estreia da selecção da Federação Portuguesa de Futebol. Desconhece-se se os políticos que vestiram patrioteiramente a camisola já a despiram, depois da triste exibição de Ronaldo e Companhia. Enquanto isso, PSD e Chega negociaram, negociaram, negociaram e Ventura, depois das expectativas que criou ao Governo para a aprovação do pacote laboral, tirou o tapete (“Surprise! Surprise!”) a Montenegro. (O programa foi gravado na manhã de sexta-feira, ainda antes do desfecho de mais uma bela cambalhota do Chega.) Tudo isto na semana em que Estados Unidos e Irão assinaram - higienicamente, à distância - um memorando de entendimento para acabar com a guerra e para repor as coisas como elas estavam a 28 de Fevereiro. A pergunta que se impõe: para que serviu a guerra, afinal? Ainda mais uma dúvida: a “grande solidariedade” do diretor geral da PSP com um polícia condenado será descuido ou corporativismo, puro e simples? A fechar, tal como abrimos, com bola, o sócio 12 049 do Benfica (sim, Ricardo Araújo Pereira) faz o balanço de uma época sem títulosSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

O PM negociou com Ventura como sócio, afinal nunca deixou de ser adversário. Ingenuidade ou má tática? Montenegro chega ao congresso com o custo de apostar tudo num parceiro que nunca teve intenção de entregar os pontos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Talk Eastern Europe, we unpack major developments shaping the future of the South Caucasus and the Western Balkans.Alexandra returns from Armenia after observing the country's consequential parliamentary elections and shares what international headlines got wrong about the vote. Was this really an "East versus West" contest? How much influence did Russia have? And why did many Armenians feel they were choosing between imperfect options?We also examine Albania's largest protests in recent memory. What began as demonstrations against a controversial tourism project, linked to the Trump family and Jared Kushner, has evolved into a broader challenge to Prime Minister Edi Rama, raising difficult questions about corruption, environmental protection, and Albania's EU aspirations.Finally, we turn to Bosnia and Herzegovina, where a dispute over the next High Representative highlights growing divisions between the United States and Europe over the region's future.In the second half of the episode, we discuss our latest Deep Dive interview on Montenegro's troubled path toward EU membership and ask whether the country's 2028 accession ambitions remain realistic.Talk Eastern Europe is the podcast from New Eastern Europe magazine - your trusted source for in-depth analysis and expert perspectives on Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, and the post-Soviet space. ABOUT THIS PODCASTWe publish twice weekly.

Support us: buymeacoffee.com/colemansdream Dai and Ruth return to discuss a busy double header weekend for the men and the women's teams. The women took a crucial 4 points to get to League A next season and qualify for the playoffs, but will the draw in Montenegro bite us? We follow this up with a discussion about the men and their disappointing results (and performances) against Ghana and Romania. What has Bellamy learned from these games? Does he need to change?
