Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the U.S. and its allies have rolled out sweeping sanctions — freezing Moscow's central-bank assets, cutting major banks off SWIFT, and capping Russian oil prices through export bans and trade restrictions. These moves have reshaped global energy flows, with India emerging as one of Russia's top oil buyers — importing record volumes of discounted crude despite mounting Western pressure. Under the Biden administration, Washington led these coordinated efforts to choke off funding for Russia's war. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has used the threat of sanctions to discourage trade with Moscow, a move that's largely targeted India's continued oil imports. Now, fresh U.S. tariffs and the threat of secondary sanctions are complicating New Delhi's effort to secure affordable fuel. For India, discounted Russian oil has become both an opportunity and a diplomatic test. What do these sanctions mean for India's decades-old partnership with Moscow?

La visita di Ahmad al Sharaa alla Casa Bianca ha soddisfatto il presidente Trump e ha stupito molti. Ha stupito il fatto che colui che era conosciuto per essere il leader di un gruppo affiliato ad al Qaeda sia passato così rapidamente dallo status di "nemico" a quello di "partner" per la stabilità nel Medio Oriente. Ne parliamo con Lorenzo Trombetta, analista per Limes, e con Claudio Bertolotti, direttore di Start Insight.Nel frattempo, l'India è stata colpita da un attentato terroristico nel cuore di New Delhi. Ne parliamo con Marco Masciaga, corrispondente del Sole 24Ore a New Delhi.

On today's podcast:1) A record-setting 41-day US government shutdown is on a path to end as soon as Wednesday after the Senate passed a temporary funding measure backed by a group of eight centrist Democrats. The Senate’s 60-40 vote Monday comes amid escalating flight disruptions, food aid delays and frustrations in a federal workforce that has mostly gone without pay for more than a month. The Republican-controlled House must still approve the spending package, which keeps most of the government open through Jan. 30 and some agencies through Sept. 30. But Speaker Mike Johnson said he expects it will pass quickly.2) Air travel disruptions mounted across the US as lawmakers pushed to end the federal government shutdown, with an air traffic controllers’ union warning of “the erosion of safety” as the critical workers missed their second-straight full paycheck. Almost 2,100 flights were canceled as of 6:15 p.m. in New York on Monday, according to data compiled by aviation analytics firm Cirium. That’s about 8.2% of the day’s 25,735 scheduled flights. Chicago O’Hare International Airport had the most cancellations, with nearly 25% of its scheduled flights scrapped. Over 16% of services in and out of Boston Logan Airport were scrubbed, as were 15% of trips at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport. The growing fallout stems from the Federal Aviation Administration’s directive to reduce flight capacity by 10% at the roughly 40 busiest US airports, a bid to alleviate what US aviation officials have said are signs of strain in the nation’s airspace system.3) President Trump said he “at some point” would reduce the tariff rate on Indian goods, saying the US was getting “pretty close” to a trade deal with New Delhi. The comments were the latest signal of a possible thaw in the trade dispute that has soured the relationship between Washington and New Delhi. Earlier this year, Trump slapped additional tariffs on India’s exports to the US in part to pressure New Delhi to stop buying Russian oil, raising the rates on many Indian goods to 50%. That added tensions to an already contentious negotiation over what the US has cast as India’s high levies and other barriers on American goods.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"We're getting a fair deal." Trump later predicted the nations were "pretty close to doing a deal that's good for everybody."

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. CWA Forecasts Heavy Rainfall with Land and Sea Warnings for TyphoonFung-Wong The Central Weather Administration is warning of significant rainfall, after both land and sea warnings were issued for Typhoon Fung-Wong. The CWA warns that the interaction between the typhoon's outer bands and a northeast monsoon will significantly intensify rainfall. Officials say rainfall will be persistent (持續的) and heavy in the mountainous areas of greater Taipei, eastern Taiwan, and the Hengchun Peninsula. Residents are urged to avoid mountain areas due to the risk of landslides, falling rocks, and surging rivers. And strong winds and high waves are expected along coastal areas, with waves possibly reach three to five meters, or more in southern and southeastern areas. The public is advised to avoid coastal activities as much as possible. The land warning currently covers Tainan, Kaohsiung, Pingtung, Taitung, and the Hengchun Peninsula. The storm is currently located some 360-kilometers southwest of Eluanbi at the island's southern most tip and is moving in a north-northeasterly direction at 12-kilometers-an-hour. The storm has a radius of 230-kilometers and is packing sustained wind speeds of 108-kilometers-an-hour, with gust of up to 113-kilometers-an-hour. The typhoon is expected to come closest to Taiwan between tomorrow afternoon and evening, before moving out to sea east of Taiwan early Thursday morning. Belarus Threatens to Seize Trucks After Lithuania Border Closing Belarus' authoritarian leader is threatening to seize over 1,000 Lithuanian trucks stranded (被困住) in the country following the closure of its border with Lithuania after repeated incursions (侵入) by air balloons carrying smuggled cigarettes. Lithuania, a NATO and European Union member, closed the two border crossings with Belarus on Oct. 29 after weather balloons flying from Belarus caused repeated disruption ( 干擾、中斷) of air traffic at the Lithuanian capital's airport. The border will remain closed until at least the end of this month. Lithuanian officials cast the balloon disruption as part of anti-Western activities by Russia-allied Belarus intended to undermine stability. Lithuania borders Belarus as well as Russia's Kaliningrad exclave. India Police Investigating Delhi Blast The death toll from a blast in New Delhi has reached eight, with 20 people injured. Police are investigating what caused the blast, which took place late on Monday, in a crowded market very close to the iconic (非常出名的，標誌性的) Red Fort. Neha Poonia has more. IMO Pushes for Less Fossil Fuels in Shipping The head of the International Maritime Organization says he's continuing to “advocate and campaign” for global regulations to move the shipping industry away from fossil fuels, after the United States and Saudi Arabia blocked new rules last month. IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez spoke at one of the first side events at the U.N. climate negotiations that began Monday on the edge of the Brazilian Amazon. The event was held to discuss the shipping industry's efforts to slash carbon pollution by transitioning (轉變) away from fossil fuels. Maritime nations were set to adopt the first global carbon fee on shipping last month at the IMO. Delegates decided to postpone the decision by a year and adjourn. Dominguez says the work continues.

Cet épisode est un peu différent des autres, par la nature même du business que nous abordons, par la personnalité de mon invité et par son chemin de vie.Il ne sera pas seulement question d'entrepreneuriat, mais aussi de quête, de lenteur, de sens. Car aujourd'hui, je vous emmène en voyage.Mon invité s'appelle Alexandre Le Beuan, fondateur de Chemins, une entreprise qui conçoit des séjours itinérants à vélo électrique dans le sud de la France. Mais réduire Chemins à un simple acteur du slow tourism serait passer à côté de l'essentiel. Derrière cette aventure, il y a un homme qui a passé plus de quinze ans en Asie, qui a fondé Shanti Travel, pionnier du voyage sur mesure en Inde et dans l'Himalaya, et qui a choisi, un jour, de ralentir pour mieux avancer.Nous commençons cette conversation par le parcours singulier d'Alexandre, fait d'expéditions en Himalaya, d'apprentissage du hindi et du tibétain, de passion pour la randonnée et d'un goût profond pour l'altérité. Il raconte comment ces expériences, loin d'un simple curriculum professionnel, ont forgé sa vision du voyage comme rencontre, transformation et humilité.Dans une deuxième partie, nous revenons sur l'aventure Shanti Travel, une success story née en 2005 à New Delhi avec 10 000 euros en poche et une idée audacieuse : créer du sur-mesure B2C dans un monde encore dominé par les tours opérateurs traditionnels. Alexandre y partage les clés de sa réussite : l'importance de la connaissance intime du terrain, de la relation directe avec le voyageur et de la cohérence entre ses valeurs personnelles et celles de son entreprise.La troisième partie explore la genèse de Chemins, née après une prise de conscience écologique et une réflexion sur la responsabilité du secteur du tourisme face au réchauffement climatique. Alexandre y explique comment il a imaginé un nouveau modèle de voyage : proche, lent et régénératif, accessible en train et à vélo électrique. Il décrit une expérience inclusive et immersive, qui reconnecte les voyageurs au territoire et à ceux qui le font vivre : producteurs, artisans, vignerons, lavandiculteurs…Enfin, nous terminons par la vision d'avenir de Chemins : un modèle hybride, associant des partenaires locaux à un pilotage centralisé, un développement raisonné vers l'Europe du Sud, une diversification vers les entreprises et les marchés nord-européens. Alexandre nous parle ici d'économie d'usage, de saisonnalité, de sobriété et de croissance maîtrisée — autant de notions qui redéfinissent ce que pourrait être le voyage de demain.Entre récit personnel et stratégie entrepreneuriale, cet épisode invite à prendre le temps. Le temps de comprendre, d'écouter et, pourquoi pas, de se remettre en route autrement.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

From running back and forth to the letterbox on his family's farm, to standing on a Paralympic podium, Reece Langdon has already packed a lot into his short para sport career. He's a world record holder in the T38 1500m and T38 5000m,  he won a silver medal at the World Para Championships in 2023 and a bronze medal at the Paralympics in Paris in 2024. In this episode, Elise chats with Reece about the sting of finishing fourth in the T38 1500m final at this year's World Para Champs in New Delhi, racing through plantar fasciitis, and why lining up fully healthy is now his biggest performance goal. Reece also tells us about the freak virus that changed everything at six years old – strep throat that led to partial paralysis, months in hospital, and doctors warning he might not be a very active kid. He takes us through learning how to walk again, speech therapy, living with ataxia, and the 13-month paper trail it took to be classified as a para athlete. We also chat about the growing depth of the T38 field and his friendly rivalry with fellow Aussie (and friend of the podcast) Angus Hincksman. Off the track, Reece is a proud new cat dad to Lola (yes, there's a kangaroo-style pouch to carry her in), a full-time runner with ASICS, and an athlete who's learning to actually celebrate PBs instead of instantly chasing the next one. -- Loved this episode?

Delhi is once again blanketed by hazardous smog following the Diwali festival, as pollution levels spike to the "very poor" and "severe" categories, with air quality indexes far exceeding safe limits. The crisis, which is driven by firecracker use, emissions, and seasonal crop residue burning has prompted emergency measures like cloud seeding. Image Credit: Ritesh Shukla/Getty Images

Send us a text We visit Delhi, Agra, and Mumbai with linguist and educator Dr. Jilani Warsi.Old Delhi draws us into the Red Fort's vast red sandstone walls, the bustle of Jama Masjid, and the color and flavors of Chandni Chowk where chai, sweets, and silks leave their mark. We balance that with New Delhi's calm and the Lotus Temple's open welcome to all faiths, then look upward at Qutub Minar's 12th-century tower, a vertical timeline of early rule and artistry. Along the way, we share on-the-ground advice: why to skip driving yourself, how to group sites to save time, and where an evening light-and-sound show still brings the past to life.Agra reframes the journey around love and power. The Taj Mahal becomes more than a postcard as dawn light turns marble rosy and the close-in inlay work reveals delicate stone flowers. Across the Yamuna River, Agra Fort holds Shah Jahan's final vantage point, a story you can feel when a small mirror catches the mausoleum's glow. A short hop leads to Fatehpur Sikri, where Hindu and Islamic design blend into one living compound, proof that style can be a bridge across belief.Mumbai changes the tempo again: Marine Drive's night shimmer, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link stretching like a lit ribbon, and the gravitational pull of Bollywood's studios and theaters. We leave the skyline by boat for Elephanta Island, where ancient cave temples to Shiva offer a cool breath and timeless stonework. Between stops, we chase flavor—kebabs, biryani, and samosas, and share simple ways to eat well and safely where the locals line up.Whether you're planning your first India itinerary, refining a return, or just enjoying armchair travel, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so others can find it too._____Dr. Jilani Warsi, born a two-hour drive from Mahabodhi Temple in Gaya where Buddha reached Nirvana, grew up in a multilingual environment and teaches at Queensborough Community College in New York.

Insider accounts from political aides, bureaucrats, and diplomats have long illuminated the workings of power—but even more enigmatic were the lobbyists. Operating in the shadows, often invisible to public scrutiny, they were intimately privy to clandestine negotiations, back-channel discussions, and subtle bureaucratic skirmishes. In his new roman-à-clef For No Reason At All, Ramjee Chandran shines a light on this hidden world. Chandran—well‑known in Bangalore as a journalist, publisher, and podcaster—has, until now, remained silent about his time as a lobbyist in 1980s New Delhi, a pivotal era just before major economic reforms took hold. Drawing from real events, the novel charts the journey of a young lobbyist caught in a high-stakes conflict over silicon metal—a material deemed strategically vital. Central to the drama is Metkem Silicon, which, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, devoted 17 years to developing indigenous silicon metal technology. Yet their efforts collided with a rival scheme spearheaded by the Department of Electronics, which wanted to bypass local innovation and import U.S. technology. What ensued was a four‑year bureaucratic war: media leaks, secret memorandums, and the covert involvement of the Soviets and other intelligence agencies—culminating in a final decision placed in the hands of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. Set against the backdrop of Cold War Delhi on the cusp of liberalisation, the novel paints a vivid portrait of a nation—and capital—torn between ideologies and ambitions. The Soviet Union may have vanished, lobbyists have receded from public corridors, and few can claim first‑hand knowledge of that era. In Confessions of a Lobbyist, Siddharth Raja—a lawyer, historian, and bibliophile—sits down with Ramjee Chandran to peel back the layers of this story, offering an insider's glimpse into a world that feels at once distant and disarmingly relevant. In this episode of BIC Talks, Ramjee Chandran will be in conversation with Siddharth Raja. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in Aug 2025.

As the capital of the world's largest democracy, Delhi embodies the essence of modern India – a vivid paradox of old and new, rich and poor, foreign and familiar. It's been fourteen years since my last visit and the economic transformation is ever-present. High rises, swanky malls and residential colonies housing the booming middle-class are mushrooming everywhere. As my engaging Wendy Wu Tours guide Girish remarked, as we were whisked into the city from the airport, “Delhi is more than a mere city, it has morphed into the national capital region.” With the metropolitan population now nudging 30 million, Delhi is a megalopolis and on-track to becoming the world's most populous city in three years' time. Our hotel was in New Delhi, the more modern, planned city within a city, that was built by the British in 1911 and replaced Kolkata as the national capital, twenty years later. In a city notorious for its air pollution, which is supposedly steadily improving, one of the great paradoxes of New Delhi is that it's also swathed in a sprawling green canopy. It's arguably the greatest legacy from British rule, because the new city was deliberately, meticulously planned to be nestled within a vast green cover, fanning out from Connaught Place on those broad long avenues. Large-canopy trees like banyans, mango, and pilkhans were selected by the British, while indigenous trees ideally suited to the climate have added to the canopy in recent decades. That sprawling tree cover is certainly a godsend from the fierce Delhi heat. Delhi's contradictions abound. You'll still see working elephants trudging along traffic-clogged roads, as fire-engine red Ferraris zip by. Handwritten posters singing out, “Customs confiscated goods sold here,” still compete next to glossy fashion billboards for Gucci and Prada. It's all part of Delhi's curious fabric. The city is littered with so many crumbling tombs and ruins, most of them are not even on the tourist map. But if you are a first-timer to the city, signature sights include marvelling at the sheer grace of the soaring Qutb Minar Tower. It was built 800 years ago by the Turkish Slave King Qutb-ud-din Aibak to celebrate his victory over the Hindu Rajputs. Wander through the sculptural Jantar Mantar, a huge, open-air astronomy observatory built in 1725 by Jai Singh, creator and ruler of Jaipur. Admire the 16th-century garden tomb of Mughal Emperor Humayun, precursor to the Taj Mahal, which was built by Humayun's great-grandson. Over in Old Delhi, two Mughal-era masterpieces, the imposing Red Fort (which was the Mughal seat of power for 200 years) and Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque. Both sandstone show-stoppers are definitely worth exploring. The mosque was commissioned by Shah Jahan in 1656 and it took 5000 labourers 6 years to complete. Within its hallowed walls lie sacred relics like Prophet Muhammad's hair. Beyond ticking-off the capital's great monuments, heading to Old Delhi is like a journey back in time. The beating, chaotic, carnival-like heart of Old Delhi is Chandni Chowk, Delhi's 400 year old marketplace that was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. The market has been redeveloped to tame some of the chaos, including some fully pedestrianised streets and non-motorised transport lanes. But as I gazed at the spaghetti-like tangle of street wiring that garlands the crowded market lanes, there's no denying the ramshackle, faded glory feels amid this pulsating hot-spot of old-school commerce. Be sure to get your fill of jalebis from a street food vendor. Made from a deep-fried spiral-shaped wheat flour batter, which is then soaked in a sugar syrup, a plate of piping hot, crispy, sticky jalebis is a very satisfying sugar hit. We enjoyed a classic rickshaw ride through the throng of traders, shoppers and wandering cows, all heaving in those pencil-thin lanes. Girish also led us through the Khari Baoli Spice Market in Chandni Chowk, positively bulging with so many spices, nuts, herbs, pickles, preserves, rice and teas. Renowned as Asia's largest wholesale spice market, it's an aromatic head-blast. Shops and stalls bulge with heaping mounds and baskets of over a hundred different spices, headlined by turmeric, cardamom, coriander, star anise, ginger and cumin. Just as they have for hundreds of years, shoppers, dealers and chefs converge here every day to haggle and hustle. Many vendors have been peddling their wares for generations. Dawdle too long in front of a stall, and traders with huge sacks of chilis or cardamom pods will soon bump you out of their way. One of the oldest and tidiest shops is Mehar Chand and Sons. They've been in business since Queen Victoria ruled over them. And it's a great place to stock up on packaged spices, tea and saffron. Anshu Kumar, who is part of the family that has owned the shop since its inception, tells me that one of their biggest sellers with international visitors is turmeric, powered by the world's booming love-affair with this powerful superfood and supplement. (Their packaged products are allowed in New Zealand – just be sure to declare them.) Heading back to the hotel, we also stopped by the Indian parliament and sized up the monolithic might of India Gate. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, this monstrous landmark is more than just a stunning feat of architecture—it's a poignant memorial to the 70,000 Indian soldiers who laid down their lives during World War I and the Third Anglo-Afghan War. Beautifully illuminated after sunset, street food vendors and ice cream carts line the area, swathed in sprawling lush gardens. The great thing about a Wendy Wu Tours private holiday is that you have complete flexibility over how much temple-touring and sightseeing you want to do. Equipped with your own driver and guide, it's a stress-free way to tackle Delhi. The itinerary can be as active or as laid back as you are, with full flexibility over included meals and excursions. You'll be in the best of hands with Wendy Wu Tours. www.wendywutours.co.nz/india Nothing beats retreating to a leafy oasis of eminent comfort and style after a hot, sticky day intrepidly gorging on the city sights. Nestled along the tree-lined boulevards of Connaught Place, Shangri-La Eros New Delhi, is a five-star hotel with serious wow-factor. From the moment you step inside the grand art-filled lobby, you know you are somewhere special. Service is swift, sparkling, flawless and convivial. It's the epitome of affordable luxury, with sharply-priced room rates that won't blow your budget. Push the boat out and lock in a Horizon Club room or suite. That will give you access to the hotel's cherry on top, the 19th floor Horizon Club lounge, allowing you a quick check-in, breakfast, evening cocktails and light bites. Plus panoramic views of the city's skyline. The hotel's arsenal of dining venues is very impressive. Head to Mister Chai for some authentic Indian street food coupled with flavoured tea and coffee. There is Tamra serving European, Japanese, Indian, Thai and Southeast Asian fare from live kitchens. “Lavish” doesn't do justice to the expansive array of buffet options at Tamra for breakfast. Sorrento specialises in Italian food with a contemporary twist and Shang Palace offers flavours of Sichuan, Cantonese and Yunnan cuisines. This is a signature dining venue in Shangri-La hotels and Shang Palace is widely feted as the world's most loved Chinese specialty restaurant. Dining here was divine, noshing on prawn dumplings with caviar; Xinjiang spice twice cooked baby lamb ribs; and the Cantonese BBQ platter. Shang Palace is a must. Celebrating it's 20th birthday this year, Shangri-La Eros is not the sort of hotel to rest on its laurels. And with wellness offerings continuing to be increasingly sought after, the hotel recently unveiled a wealth of enticing new amenities. The Wellness Club boasts offers over 4,000 square feet of world-class fitness space, advanced recovery therapies, a 100-feet outdoor swimming pool, salon, spa, and a calming hydrothermal zone featuring a cold plunge, Himalayan salt sauna, whirlpool, and steam. What more could you want for personal pampering? The Wellness Club seamlessly blends conscious luxury with modern wellness. Designed by Dubai's Stickman Tribe, Dubai, the interior is bathed in natural hues and hand-painted art. Calming music sets the tone for a serene escape with gilded details and reflective surfaces lending a touch of grandeur to the venue. The Spa has become a runaway hit with custom-crafted amenities to indulge the senses. Signature rituals include the Taste of India Retreat, Signature Indulgence, and a Couple's Serenity Bath, crafted to nourish the body and calm the mind. But my favourite hotel feature is the enormous new pool. Tranquil corridors lead you outdoors to the gloriously leafy green space, crowned with that magnificent pool and elegant sun loungers. As black kites circled high above in the sky, and mischievous rhesus macaques swung between the trees – much to the annoyance of nesting rose-ringed parakeets, marinating myself in the hotel's glorious pool became a rinse-and-repeat prize draw. www.shangri-la.com From New Zealand, it's just a one-stop connection to a multitude of destinations in India, including New Delhi, with Singapore Airlines, on their various daily services from Auckland and Christchurch to Singapore.

Nel terzo trimestre 2025 il Pil italiano, corretto per gli effetti di calendario, è rimasto invariato rispetto al trimestre precedente e in crescita dello 0,4% su base annua, secondo le stime preliminari dell'Istat. Dopo il -0,1% del secondo trimestre e il +0,3% del primo, la crescita zero non modifica la stima acquisita per l'anno, pari allo 0,5%, in linea con le previsioni del governo. L'aumento del valore aggiunto nell'agricoltura è stato compensato dal calo dell'industria e dalla stabilità dei servizi. Dal lato della domanda, contributo negativo della componente interna e positivo di quella estera netta. Affrontiamo il tema con Carlo Altomonte, Associate Dean e Direttore PNRR Lab, SDA Bocconi, e membro CD Fondazione M&MLa Bce lascia i tassi fermi al 2%, come da atteseLa Bce, riunita a Firenze, ha mantenuto invariati i tassi: 2% sui depositi, 2,15% sui rifinanziamenti principali e 2,40% sui prestiti marginali. L'inflazione resta vicina al target del 2% e le prospettive restano stabili, sebbene il contesto globale resti incerto per le tensioni geopolitiche e commerciali. Lagarde ha sottolineato che l'economia continua a mostrare resilienza grazie al mercato del lavoro e alla solidità dei bilanci privati. La crescita dello 0,2% nell'area euro nel terzo trimestre è risultata leggermente sopra le attese. La presidente ha inoltre annunciato l'avvio della nuova fase dell'euro digitale, che garantirà privacy, sicurezza e competitività nei pagamenti. Il commento è affidato a Donato Masciandaro, docente politiche monetarie Università BocconiBorse Ue restano in rosso dopo nulla di fatto Bce. A Wall Street giù Meta e MicrosoftI listini europei chiudono in calo dopo la decisione della Bce di lasciare i tassi invariati e in una settimana intensa per le trimestrali e le banche centrali globali. A Wall Street pesano le vendite su Meta (-11,8%) e Microsoft, penalizzate dalle previsioni di maggiori investimenti in IA, mentre Alphabet sale grazie ai ricavi pubblicitari. In Europa, la crescita del Pil del terzo trimestre è risultata leggermente superiore alle attese (+0,2% nell'eurozona, +0,3% nell'Ue), trainata da Francia e Spagna. A Piazza Affari bene Campari e Tenaris, male Prysmian e Stellantis (-10,1%), colpita dai dubbi sul futuro outlook e dalle incertezze legate alla crisi dei semiconduttori. Affrontiamo il tema con Martina Soligo, RadiocorVertice Usa-Cina, Trump: «Taglio ai dazi e accordo sulle terre rare»Donald Trump e Xi Jinping si sono incontrati a Busan raggiungendo un accordo per dimezzare i dazi statunitensi sui prodotti cinesi e rilanciare le esportazioni di soia americana, terre rare e controlli sul fentanyl. Trump ha inoltre annunciato la ripresa dei test sulle armi nucleari, sostenendo di voler mantenere il primato militare Usa. Pechino sospenderà per un anno i limiti all'export di alcune terre rare, sebbene restino in vigore restrizioni introdotte in aprile. L'intesa avrà ripercussioni dirette sull'Unione Europea, come sottolineato dal commissario Ue al Commercio Maros Sefcovic. Ne parliamo con Marco Masciaga, Il Sole 24 Ore, New Delhi

Från medicinmäns erfarenheter till laboratoriestudier så hoppas forskare kunna utveckla växtbaserade medel för att komplettera dagens läkemedel. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Traditionell kunskap om växters läkande egenskaper har i generationer varit en central del av vård och behandling i många samhällen världen över. Nu satsar forskare och Världshälsoorganisationen, WHO, på att ta dessa erfarenheter vidare via medicinmän för att testa substanser i modern laboratoriemiljö och utveckla regelverk. Målet på Indigenous knowledge based medicines and innovations center vid Free state university i Bloemfontein i Sydafrika är att identifiera växtbaserade substanser. Där har t ex kunskaper från apor som medicinmän iakttagit tagits vidare till labbet. Det kan handla om att hitta ett komplement, adjuvans, till befintliga läkemedel för tuberkulos, som drabbar miljontals människor i världen. Men än så länge tycks det vara lång väg kvar innan man kan nå fram till kliniska studier på människor. Vid Amity Institute of Phytochemistry and Phytomedicine,AIP&P, i Noida utanför New Delhi i Indien, har man stora framtidsvisioner för vad växtbaserade medel kan leda till. Där räknar man med att Kina och Indien tillsammans kommer att stå för en mångmiljard omsättning för alternativa mediciner. På WHO:s nybildade centrum, Global Traditional Medicine Center, GTMC i Jamnagar i Gujarat i Indien, arbetar man samtidigt för att skapa regler och standarder som gör att traditionell medicin ska kunna integreras i konventionell vård.Utmaningarna är många, från finansiering av studier till att bygga broar mellan konventionell medicin och traditionell medicin.

"Projekt Centralnego Portu Komunikacyjnego jest bardzo ważny. Polska powinna wykupić całą ziemię wokół CPK i zbudować tam piękne miasto" - ocenił w Popołudniowej rozmowie w RMF FM prof.

Begum Wilayat Mahal, the self-proclaimed heir to the House of Awadh, has fascinated journalists and writers for decades. She claimed she was Indian royalty, descended from the kings of Awadh, a kingdom annexed by the British in 1856. She spent a decade in the waiting room of the New Delhi train station, receiving journalists intrigued by the image of Indian royals in cramped conditions. Then, her family was granted use of a rundown 14th-century hunting lodge in Delhi; none were seen in public again. Both during Wilayat Mahal's life, and after her death, journalists have tried to figure out whether her story was true, most famously by a 2019 feature by the New York Times that picked apart the family's story. Now, in their book The House of Awadh: A Hidden Tragedy (HarperCollins India: 2025), Aletta André and Abhimanyu Kumar dig into Begum Wilayat Mahal's past, chasing down leads in India and Pakistan to fully explore this story. Aletta André is a Dutch historian and journalist, who has covered South Asia for Dutch and international media since 2009. Abhimanyu Kumar is an Indian poet and journalist with a wide experience covering politics, arts, culture and minority issues.
