Host: Annik Sobing Guest: Maria Pechurina, Director of International Trade at Peacock Tariff Consulting Published: December 22 Length: ~30 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center In this Simply Trade Roundup, host Annik Sobing is joined by international trade and economic diplomacy expert Maria Pechurina for a deep dive into BRICS and what it means for global trade in 2026. Maria, who has a strong background in Chinese studies and international relations, explains how BRICS has expanded from its original five members to a much broader “BRICS Plus” bloc that now includes countries like Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, representing roughly 40% of global GDP, over 40% of the world's population, about a quarter of global merchandise exports, and potentially half of the world's oil production.​ Together, they explore how aggressive U.S. tariff policy in 2025 has accelerated a shift toward deeper BRICS cooperation and a more bipolar trading system. Maria illustrates this with examples such as U.S. tariffs on India that pushed New Delhi closer to Beijing and other BRICS partners, and she unpacks the growing trend toward non‑dollar settlement channels and local‑currency trade within the bloc. The conversation then turns to what all of this means for U.S.‑based trade and customs professionals, including the need to think in terms of “two playbooks” (U.S./EU vs. BRICS‑linked trade), prepare for more politically driven tariffs, and build scenarios and risk matrices that reflect a permanently more volatile environment.​ What You'll Learn in This Episode What BRICS and “BRICS Plus” are, who is involved, and why the bloc now represents a major share of global GDP, population, exports, and oil production.​ How U.S. tariffs and sanctions pressures in 2025 pushed countries toward deeper intra‑BRICS cooperation and regional trade (e.g., India–China, China–Brazil).​ Why 2025 effectively “broke” the old multilateral trade model and how 2026 is likely to cement a more bipolar system (U.S./EU vs. BRICS‑centric tracks).​ The rise of non‑dollar settlement and alternative payment systems, including local‑currency trade between Russia, China, India, and Brazil, and what that implies for dollar demand.​ How tariffs are increasingly used as political leverage, including “secondary” or punitive tariffs tied to countries' domestic or foreign policy choices.​ What a dual‑track supply chain strategy looks like in practice for U.S. importers and compliance teams. Key Takeaways BRICS is no longer a fringe coalition; it is a central, growing pillar of global trade and energy, with China as a major center of gravity.​ U.S. and EU trade professionals must be ready to manage two distinct regulatory environments at once, with different expectations on origin, currency, sanctions, and documentation.​ Politically driven, rapidly announced tariffs will remain a major planning risk, making scenario modeling and proactive supplier strategies essential.​ Smaller and mid‑sized companies can amplify their influence by working through trade and industry groups to communicate real‑world impacts to policymakers.​ Credits Host: Annik Sobing Guest: Maria Pechurina – Peacock Tariff Consulting Producer: Lalo Solorzano Subscribe & Follow New Roundup episodes every week.

« 31 personnes sous mandat de dépôt », titre le journal Béninois La Nouvelle Tribune. Les mis en cause ont été mis en examen pour plusieurs chefs d'accusation, notamment « trahison », « assassinat » et « attentat à la sûreté de l'État » détaille le média. Il souligne que « La majorité des personnes poursuivies appartiendrait aux forces armées, selon des sources proches du dossier. À l'issue de leur comparution devant le juge des libertés et de la détention, les trente et une personnes présentées ont été déposées en prison, dans l'attente de la suite de la procédure ». Toujours au Bénin, le quotidien La Nation commente aussi ces dernières péripéties : « Dès les premières heures après le putsch manqué, dimanche 7 décembre, Patrice Talon, président de la République promettait que l'acte ne resterait pas impuni. Cette promesse sera tenue. L'enquête judiciaire ouverte à cet effet connait déjà une évolution considérable ». Jeune Afrique précise pour sa part que les recherches continuent, notamment autour des éventuels soutiens que les mutins auraient pu recevoir de l'extérieur. Cette tentative de putsch avortée au Bénin, tout comme le Coup d'État du 26 novembre dernier en Guinée-Bissau, étaient aussi au centre de l'attention de la Cédéao dimanche dernier. Au centre de l'attention, ou pour le dire autrement « l'un des plats de résistance du menu servi aux dirigeants de la Communauté économique des États de l'Afrique de l'ouest » commente Wakatsera dans un édito. Alors qu'un sommet ordinaire s'est tenu dimanche à Abuja au Nigeria, « la Cédéao n'a pas répondu aux attentes des peuples », « Surtout celles des Bissau-Guinéens ! » commente le média burkinabé, « Alors qu'elle a fait preuve d'une fermeté sans une once de tergiversation contre les militaires qui ont essayé de renverser le président Patrice Talon, l'organisation, comme pour défendre jalousement son surnom peu flatteur de "syndicat des chefs d'État", a pratiquement abandonné la Guinée-Bissau à son sort ». La Cédéao a demandé le retour à l'ordre constitutionnel, mais des questions persistent : « De quel ordre constitutionnel parle la Cédéao, alors qu'elle ne fait pas de la publication des résultats des élections du 23 novembre, une priorité ? » interroge le média. En résumé pour Wakatsera : « Une fois de plus, la Cédéao semble avoir raté le coche. (...) En français facile, on parlera de "deux poids deux mesures", ou plus trivialement, on dira que pour la Cédéao, le Bénin n'est pas la Guinée-Bissau ». La Cédéao a aussi annoncé la création prochaine d'une Brigade antiterroriste. Et ça fait encore réagir la presse Africaine. Dans un édito, Ajourd8.net revient sur cette annonce : « D'ici fin 2026, c'est un corps qui se chargera de guerroyer contre les terroristes ». Reste que les interrogations sont là encore nombreuses… Le média Burkinabé en liste plusieurs : Combien d'hommes composera cette Brigade ? Comment sera-t-elle financée ? Où sera son QG ? Comment va-t-elle opérer ?. « Il faudra forcément qu'elle collabore avec l'AES, pour une solution holistique (…) pour le bien des peuples de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Le divorce consommé, il faut cesser tout ce qui est superflu pour se concentrer sur ce problème majeur ». Narendra Modi, Premier ministre indien, en visite d'État en Éthiopie Deux jours à Addis-Abeba, « New Delhi cherche à renforcer sa présence en Afrique face à la Chine, en s'appuyant sur un partenaire stratégique récemment devenu membre des Brics » analyse Afrik.com. Ce déplacement est le premier en Éthiopie pour Narendra Modi, et le premier pour un Premier ministre indien depuis 15 ans. « Les discussions avec le Premier ministre d'Éthiopie Abiy Ahmed se concentrent sur l'investissement et la cybersécurité », souligne l'Ethiopian News. L'agriculture est une priorité essentielle car elle soutient 80% des moyens de subsistance de l'Éthiopie. En parallèle, le pays cumule plusieurs atouts politiques et économiques : siège de l'Union africaine, nouveau membre des Brics, position géostratégique clé dans la Corne de l'Afrique. Mais aussi un potentiel important en ressources minières encore insuffisamment exploitées. De quoi attirer l'attention des grandes puissances émergentes, comme l'Inde, commente Afrik.com.

Un caz izolat de lepră a fost confirmat în Croația, relatează RTL Danas. Ministerul Sănătății din Zagreb a declarat că este vorba de un lucrător străin din Nepal care locuiește în Croația cu familia sa de doi ani. Pacientul s-a prezentat la serviciul epidemiologic din Split în urmă cu aproximativ zece zile, având simptome caracteristice leprei. Boala a fost recunoscută în timp util și au fost implementate imediat toate măsurile necesare. Bărbatul este tratat, contactele sale apropiate au primit terapie post-expunere. Acesta este primul caz de lepră din Croația de după 1993. Lepra este o boală infecțioasă cronică cauzată de bacterii. Se transmite în principal prin tuse sau strănut după un contact prelungit cu persoana infectată. Aceasta poate fi vindecată chiar dacă procesul durează mult, de la 6 până la 12 luni.   Comisia Europeană atrage atenția Slovaciei asupra deficiențelor politicii sale vamale. Ar putea fi inițiate proceduri judiciare pentru nerespectarea reglementărilor Slovacia este în urmă cu implementarea unui sistem vamal digital pentru transportul aerian, relatează aktuality.sk. Conform Comisiei Europene, Grecia și Slovacia nu au implementat pe deplin Sistemul Național de Import (NIS) sau Sistemul de Depozitare Temporară pentru Transportul Aerian (TS Air). Aceste sisteme sunt componente cheie ale cadrului vamal digital. Statele membre au fost obligate să le implementeze pe deplin până la 31 decembrie 2023. În ciuda avertismentelor oficiale anterioare din partea CE, trei state membre încă nu au implementat aceste sisteme și nu au furnizat planuri credibile de implementare pe termen scurt. Republica Cehă a amânat implementarea NIS până în prima jumătate a anului 2026. Grecia nu a finalizat încă implementarea TS Air, care a fost amânată până în 2027. Slovacia intenționează să implementeze TS Air abia în 2026-2027. Prin urmare, Comisia a decis, ca următor pas juridic, să emită avize motivate împotriva Republicii Cehe, Greciei și Slovaciei. Aceste state membre au acum la dispoziție două luni pentru a răspunde Bruxelles-ului și a lua măsurile necesare. În caz contrar, Comisia Europeană ar putea decide să sesizeze Curtea de Justiție a Uniunii Europene.   Împletitul de coșuri din Polonia a fost înscris pe lista UNESCO. O tradiție poloneză recunoscută după 18 ani de eforturi Împletitul de coșuri din Polonia a fost înscris pe prestigioasa Listă Reprezentativă a Patrimoniului Cultural Imaterial al Umanității de către UNESCO, relatează National Geographic Polska. Anunțul oficial a fost făcut pe 10 decembrie 2025, în timpul celei de-a 20-a sesiuni a Comitetului Interguvernamental pentru Protejarea Patrimoniului Cultural Imaterial de la New Delhi, India. Acest moment simbolic încununează aproape 18 ani de eforturi ale comunității poloneze de împletit coșuri. Nowy Tomyśl și Rudnik nad Sanem sunt principalele centre ale acestei tradiții. În Nowy Tomyśl, salcia este cultivată încă din secolul al XVIII-lea, favorizând dezvoltarea acestui meșteșug. În 1878, prima școală de împletit de coșuri din Polonia (Szkoła Koszykarska) a fost fondată în Rudnik nad Sanem. Împletitul de coșuri este unul dintre cele mai vechi meșteșuguri din Polonia. Implică împletirea manuală a coșurilor din materiale vegetale naturale, în principal salcie. Salcia este materia primă utilizată de 90% dintre producătorii de coșuri din Polonia.

As climate risks intensify across India, state governments are emerging as critical drivers of climate action, adaptation, and energy transition. In this episode of The India Energy Hour, we explore how states can plan, finance, and implement climate action on the ground. While several state-specific models are in the works, New Delhi–based IPE Global recently unveiled a one-stop Climate Readiness Index for states. This index, which relies on tech-based tools and modelling, aims to provide authoritative guidance to states for building their climate action plans.In this episode, we speak with Abinash Mohanty, Global Sector Head – Climate Change and Sustainability at IPE Global, to understand why such an index is needed, which states face the most urgent risks, and how sub-national plans shape India's net-zero pathway. Mohanty has nearly two decades of experience working across government, development finance, and policy research.Full transcript of the episode is available in English.Presented by 101ReportersAbinash Mohanty is on LinkedIn and Twitter.Follow TIEH podcast on Twitter, Linkedin & YouTubeOur hosts, Shreya Jai on Twitter, Linkedin & Dr. Sandeep Pai on Twitter, Linkedin

India and Russia have a mutually beneficial relationship going back decades, and since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, India's strategic importance for Russia has grown considerably. This hasn't gone unnoticed by the Trump administration, which has slapped additional tariffs on India for buying Russian oil. To maintain its position as an emerging global powerhouse, India must navigate not only an unpredictable U.S. foreign policy, but also a more assertive China that is exploiting Russia's asymmetrical dependence, and a Europe that is unhappy about New Delhi's ties to Moscow.

This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, France 24, Radio Havana Cuba, and NHK Japan. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr251212.mp3 (29:00) From GERMANY- Trump published a new National Security Strategy which says many critical things about Europe. Some wondered what this means for future relations and whether the US was attempting to meddle in European politics. First a review of what the new National Security Strategy says and does not say. Then analysis with DWs US Bureau Chief Ines Pohl. She points out that the document has not gotten massive attention as it has in Europe, and that the US appears to take sides with the far right political parties in many EU nations. She discusses the documents term civilizational erasure and the loss of identity from large immigration. From FRANCE- An interview with Christopher Sabatini, a senior fellow at Chatham House in London. They discuss the situation of the US military killing alleged drug runners and now, boarding and seizing an oil tanker moving Venezuelan oil. Is the flow of drugs from the country a key factor in the use of the military, or is it oil or regime change. Christopher talks about the illegality of US actions and that seizing their oil would hurt the US economy. From CUBA- Many in Honduras are saying the recent presidential election results were manipulated with US influence. The Colombian government accused the US of carrying out technical sabotage against Venezuelan airspace including deceptive signals and altering GPS systems. At least 21,000 Palestinian children are disabled or mutilated from the Israeli war on Gaza. From JAPAN- Japan is considering expanding its surcharge income tax on the so-called ultra-wealthy, from those making $19 million to those making $4 million. The leaders of Russia and India held a summit in New Delhi, talking about peace and increased trade and security. Ford will join Renault in building new small electric cars in France.

Living heritage gives people a sense of meaning and belonging, connecting individuals and communities across generations.On Thursday, the UN culture agency, UNESCO's committee which safeguards living cultural traditions worldwide, added 67 new living heritage elements to UNESCO's extensive lists.UN News's Anshu Sharma in the Indian capital, New Delhi, spoke to Tim Curtis, Director of the UNESCO office there and the agency's Representative to India, Bhutan, Maldives, and Sri Lanka, about the significance of recognising and safeguarding intangible cultural heritage.

It's Wednesday, December 10th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark 2,000 Christians in India protested persecution Around 2,000 Christians gathered in India's capital of New Delhi last month to protest persecution. Speakers at the event noted that attacks on Christians in the country increased 500% between 2014 and 2024. However, police investigated less than 20% of the cases.  One organizer said, “This is not a political movement, but a constitutional dialogue among Indian citizens from the Christian faith, exercising their democratic rights. The systematic and egregious violence and hostility, coupled with police inaction and lack of access to justice, requires solutions.” India is ranked 11th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian.  Australia banned social media accounts for kids Australia became the first country in the world to ban social media accounts for children this week. The government now requires social media companies to deactivate the accounts of children under 16 in the country or face serious fines. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese released a message, calling on young people to invest in real-world activities and relationships. Listen.  ALBANESE: “Make the most of the school holidays coming up, rather than spending it scrolling on your phone. Start a new sport, learn a new instrument, or read that book that has been sitting there on your shelf for some time. And importantly, spend quality time with your friends and your family, face to face.” Supreme Court allows Texas county to ban objectionable books In America, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed a Texas county to keep its ban on objectionable books in public libraries. The issue began in 2021 when Llano County in Central Texas removed 17 books from libraries at the request of local residents. The disputed titles included multiple books for young adults with themes on sexually perverted lifestyles. Sadly, other residents favored access to such indecency. The Supreme Court's ruling on Monday leaves in place a ruling by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. That ruling noted, “From the moment they emerged in the mid-19th century, public libraries have shaped their collections to present what they held to be worthwhile literature. … Public libraries used to exclude most novels, which were thought bad for morals.” Philippians 4:8 says, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” 15th county bans abortion Motley County, Texas became the 15th county in the nation to ban abortion. On Monday, the county's Commissioners Court unanimously adopted a Sanctuary County for the Unborn ordinance. Motley County is the 13th county in Texas to pass such an ordinance. It is also the 22nd political subdivision in the U.S. to pass such a measure this year. Wikipedia's #1 2025 article: Charlie Kirk's assassination Wikipedia announced its most-read articles of 2025. The online encyclopedia reported that the most popular article on English Wikipedia this year covered Charlie Kirk. The Christian activist was assassinated on September 10th of this year while speaking at an event for his organization, Turning Point USA, at Utah Valley University.  30% of U.S. adults took political/spiritual action in wake of Charlie Kirk's death The Barna Group released a new survey last week on the spiritual impact of Charlie Kirk's death.  The study found that nearly 30% of U.S. adults took action since Kirk's death. While some said they took political action, most said they took spiritual action. This was especially true among younger generations.  And nearly half of Americans said that Charlie Kirk's death will have a positive impact on Christianity among younger Americans.  Isaiah 41:10 most popular verse on YouVersion app And finally, the Bible platform, YouVersion, announced the verse with the highest international engagement this year.  That verse was Isaiah 41:10. It says, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” YouVersion saw unprecedented Bible engagement this year, reaching a billion downloads.  Pastor Bobby Gruenewald, Founder and CEO of YouVersion, said, “We're witnessing a global movement. People are hungry for what's real and true. The Bible stands alone as the source of truth, carefully passed from generation to generation. It's alive and active, and relevant to our everyday lives. These numbers represent millions of changed lives—people finding hope, direction, and purpose in God's Word.” Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, December 10th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

The Russian Duma ratified the Reciprocal Exchange of Logistics Support (RELOS) agreement just a day before President Vladimir Putin arrived in New Delhi, marking a significant milestone in India–Russia defence ties. More than just another operational pact, RELOS completes a long-pending framework and unlocks a new era of maritime cooperation. The agreement enables deeper coordination across a vast strategic arc—from the warm waters of Chennai in the Indian Ocean to the icy frontiers of the Arctic—reshaping the scope of bilateral engagement.

On this week's Defense & Aerospace Report Washington Roundtable, Dr. Patrick Cronin of the Hudson Institute think tank, Michael Herson of American Defense International, former DoD Europe chief Jim Townsend of the Center for a New American Security, and Pentagon comptroller Dr. Dov Zakheim of the Center for Strategic and International Studies join Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss the National Defense Authorization Act and appropriations; the Tennessee special election; lawmakers' frustration with the administration's boat strikes and plans to cut troops from Europe; the new National Security Strategy that makes clear the United States will no longer shoulder responsibility for the global rules-based order it created, puts the Americas at the center of its strategy, criticizes Europe for impeding peace in Ukraine and that Washington will “cultivate resistance” by backing European nativist political parties that oppose migration and promote nationalism; characterizes China as primarily an economic threat although does call for a bigger US role in the IndoPacific to deter conflict and if necessary, fight and win; ongoing US efforts to pressure Ukraine to accept a deal to end fighting so Washington and Moscow can resume trade ties; American officials demanded rope to pick up NATO's conventional defense responsibilities by 2027; Trump's pressure on Japan's hawkish Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to ease pro-Taiwan rhetoric that's angered Beijing, the decision to not sanction Chinese spy agencies involved in the Salt Typhoon attack on US government and industry, and sale of some of advanced computer chips China wants; French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to Beijing and Vladimir Putin's trip to New Delhi; European efforts to convince Belgium to release 140 billion euros in frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine; and what to expect from the Reagan National Defense Forum this weekend at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum.

Are our brains log-normal? Why is breathing rhythmic? Why is there a hum in the universe? Do our hearts beat chaotically? Are the (stock) markets random and ‘unbounded'? What is a market? How is Mercury perturbed? What has sleep-wake cycles? Must you go up and down with the sun? What causes whirlpools in a smooth flowing river? Where do rhythms reside? Is there an equivalent of homeostasis in the markets? What is your sigh rate just now? Are you depressed? Could you move fast, vocalize, eat and breathe at the same time? Why do we hyperventilate when we are anxious? Is there phase lock-in between (say) moving and (quantized) breathing? What role do feedback loops or self organization play in regulating complex systems? Do risks become more systemic in a complex & connected world? Why are flight transportation systems more easily perturbed than bio-physical systems? In general, are emergent systems less easily perturbed? How is degeneracy different from redundancy? How do certain monks (?) go without breathing for a few hours? Do order and disorder lie on the same continuum? &, must we always build bottom-up? SynTalk thinks about these & more questions using ideas from neuroscience (Dr. Sufyan Ashhad, NCBS, Bangalore), econophysics (Prof. Anirban Chakraborti, JNU, New Delhi) & philosophy (Rev. Fr.

C dans l'air du 5 décembre 2025 - Poutine tout-puissant… qui peut encore l'arrêter ? C'est une nouvelle visite qui suscite beaucoup d'attention. Après avoir reçu vendredi dernier Viktor Orbán à Moscou pour mener des discussions autour de l'énergie, Vladimir Poutine a déclaré ce vendredi qu'il allait continuer de « livrer du pétrole sans interruption » à l'Inde. Le Premier ministre indien Narendra Modi et le président russe se sont retrouvés ce vendredi 5 décembre à New Delhi pour des entretiens destinés à resserrer leurs liens, malgré la pression des États-Unis depuis des mois sur l'Inde pour qu'elle cesse ses achats de pétrole russe en pleine guerre en Ukraine.Une visite du maître du Kremlin qui en dit long sur les grandes manœuvres qui se déroulent actuellement et visent à redéfinir l'ordre mondial. À l'offensive sur les terrains militaire et diplomatique, Vladimir Poutine veut montrer au reste du monde que, malgré les sanctions et le mandat d'arrêt dont il fait l'objet, il n'est pas isolé. Inflexible dans les négociations sur le plan de paix avec l'Ukraine, le président russe entend apparaître comme le grand gagnant de cette période d'intenses discussions qui s'est soldée jeudi par un échange d'amabilités avec Donald Trump, après l'apparent échec de la réunion au Kremlin mardi avec Steve Witkoff et Jared Kushner.« Parvenir à un consensus entre des parties en conflit n'est pas chose aisée, mais je crois que le président Trump s'y emploie sincèrement », a ainsi affirmé hier le maître du Kremlin. « Je pense que nous devons nous engager dans cet effort plutôt que d'y faire obstruction », a-t-il ajouté, faisant allusion aux Européens que Moscou accuse de vouloir empêcher un accord. Un peu plus tôt dans la journée, Donald Trump a évoqué de son côté « une très bonne rencontre », assurant que Vladimir Poutine voulait bien « mettre fin à la guerre ».Des émissaires américains et ukrainiens mènent de nouvelles discussions depuis jeudi en Floride pour tenter de trouver une issue à la guerre, au moment où Washington a annoncé assouplir ses sanctions à l'égard du géant du pétrole russe Lukoil.À Pékin, le président français Emmanuel Macron a pressé hier son homologue chinois d'œuvrer à la fin de la guerre en Ukraine, mais a entendu son hôte rejeter fermement toute part de responsabilité dans la poursuite de la crise ukrainienne. Ce vendredi, il a appelé les Européens à maintenir « l'effort de guerre » et à accroître « la pression sur l'économie russe ». « La seule qui ne veut pas la paix, c'est la Russie, parce qu'elle veut tout », a estimé le chef de l'État. L'Allemagne, de son côté, a promis une aide supplémentaire de 100 millions d'euros à l'Ukraine pour réparer ses infrastructures énergétiques mais veillera « strictement » à son utilisation, en plein scandale de corruption qui ébranle le gouvernement de Kiev. Parallèlement, la Turquie a convoqué les ambassadeurs russe et ukrainien, appelant les deux pays à « laisser les infrastructures énergétiques en dehors de la guerre ».Depuis plusieurs semaines, Moscou multiplie les attaques et pilonne les infrastructures énergétiques de l'Ukraine. En réponse, Kiev intensifie son offensive contre les installations pétrolières russes. En frappant un important terminal pétrolier russe et deux cargos pétroliers liés à Moscou en mer Noire ces derniers jours, Kiev a touché un axe stratégique pour la Russie, le pétrole étant le carburant de l'effort de guerre russe.Nos journalistes se sont rendus il y a quelques semaines aux portes du Donbass, région déchirée de l'Est ukrainien, au cœur de toutes les négociations de paix.Nos experts :- Isabelle LASSERRE - Correspondante diplomatique - Le Figaro, ancienne correspondante en Russie- Lucas MENGET - Grand reporter, réalisateur du documentaire : Des trains dans la guerre - Antoine VITKINE - Journaliste, réalisateur du documentaire Opération Trump : les espions russes à la conquête de l'Amérique - Marie JEGO - Journaliste - Le Monde, ancienne correspondante à Moscou

On this week's Defense & Aerospace Report Washington Roundtable, Dr. Patrick Cronin of the Hudson Institute think tank, Michael Herson of American Defense International, former DoD Europe chief Jim Townsend of the Center for a New American Security, and Pentagon comptroller Dr. Dov Zakheim of the Center for Strategic and International Studies join Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss the National Defense Authorization Act and appropriations; the Tennessee special election; lawmakers' frustration with the administration's boat strikes and plans to cut troops from Europe; the new National Security Strategy that makes clear the United States will no longer shoulder responsibility for the global rules-based order it created, puts the Americas at the center of its strategy, criticizes Europe for impeding peace in Ukraine and that Washington will “cultivate resistance” by backing European nativist political parties that oppose migration and promote nationalism; characterizes China as primarily an economic threat although does call for a bigger US role in the IndoPacific to deter conflict and if necessary, fight and win; ongoing US efforts to pressure Ukraine to accept a deal to end fighting so Washington and Moscow can resume trade ties; American officials demanded rope to pick up NATO's conventional defense responsibilities by 2027; Trump's pressure on Japan's hawkish Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to ease pro-Taiwan rhetoric that's angered Beijing, the decision to not Chinese spy agencies involved in the Salt Typhoon attack on US government and industry, and sale of some of advanced computer chips China wants; French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to Beijing and Vladimir Putin's trip to New Delhi; European efforts to convince Belgium to release 140 billion euros in frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine; and what to expect from the Reagan National Defense Forum this weekend at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum.

Vertice bilaterale India-Russia a New Delhi tra il Premier indiano Modi e il Presidente della Federazione Russa Putin. Ci colleghiamo con Marco Masciaga, corrispondente de Il Sole 24 Ore da New Delhi.È stato pubblicata da poche ore l'edizione 2025 della National Security Strategy, il documento che traccia le linee della Casa Bianca in materia di sicurezza.

On today's podcast:1) Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. has entered exclusive negotiations to sell its film and TV studios and HBO Max streaming service to Netflix Inc., according to people familiar with the discussions. Netflix is offering a $5 billion breakup fee if regulators don’t approve the deal, said the people, who asked to not be identified because the discussions are private. The two companies could announce a deal as soon as in the coming days, assuming talks don’t fall apart, the people said. The move suggests Netflix has pulled ahead of Paramount Skydance Corp. and Comcast Corp., who were also competing for the asset. Prior to the closing of the sale, Warner Bros. — valued at more than $60 billion overall — will complete the planned spinoff of cable channels including CNN, TBS and TNT.2) The US lobbied several countries in the European Union in an effort to block EU plans to use frozen Russian central bank assets to back a massive loan to Ukraine, according to European diplomats familiar with the matter. US officials argued to member states that the assets are needed to help secure a peace deal between Kyiv and Moscow and should not be used to prolong the war, said the diplomats, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.3) India will pay about $2 billion to lease a nuclear-powered submarine from Russia, according to people familiar with the matter, finalizing delivery of the vessel after roughly a decade of talks just as President Vladimir Putin makes a visit to New Delhi. Talks for leasing the attack submarine from Russia had stalled over the years because of price negotiations, the people said, asking not to be identified because the discussions are private. The two sides have now agreed on the deal, with Indian officials visiting a Russian shipyard in November.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we talk about floods, wildfires, and reinsurance companies.We also discuss the COP meetings, government capture, and air pollution.Recommended Book: If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies by Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares TranscriptThe urban area that contains India's capital city, New Delhi, called the National Capital Territory of Delhi, has a population of around 34.7 million people. That makes it the most populous city in the country, and one of the most populous cities in the world.Despite the many leaps India has made over the past few decades, in terms of economic growth and overall quality of life for residents, New Delhi continues to have absolutely abysmal air quality—experts at India's top research hospital have called New Delhi's air “severe and life-threatening,” and the level of toxic pollutants in the air, from cars and factories and from the crop-waste burning conducted by nearby farmers, can reach 20-times the recommended level for safe breathing.In mid-November 2025, the problem became so bad that the government told half its workers to work from home, because of the dangers represented by the air, and in the hope that doing so would remove some of the cars on the road and, thus, some of the pollution being generated in the area.Trucks spraying mist, using what are called anti-smog guns, along busy roads and pedestrian centers help—the mist keeping some of the pollution from cars from billowing into the air and becoming part of the regional problem, rather than an ultra-localized one, and pushing the pollutants that would otherwise get into people's lungs down to the ground—though the use of these mist-sprayers has been controversial, as there are accusations that they're primarily deployed near air-quality monitoring stations, and that those in charge put them there to make it seem like the overall air-quality is lower than it is, manipulating the stats so that their failure to improve practical air-quality isn't as evident.And in other regional news, just southeast across the Bay of Bengal, the Indonesian government, as of the day I'm recording this, is searching for the hundreds of people who are still missing following a period of unusually heavy rains. These rains have sparked floods and triggered mudslides that have blocked roads, damaged bridges, and forced the evacuation of entire villages. More than 300,000 people have been evacuated as of last weekend, and more rain is forecast for the coming days.The death toll of this round of heavy rainfall—the heaviest in the region in years—has already surpassed 440 people in Indonesia, with another 160 and 90 in Thailand and Vietnam, respectively, being reported by those countries' governments, from the same weather system.In Thailand, more than two million people were displaced by flooding, and the government had to deploy military assets, including helicopters launched from an aircraft carrier, to help rescue people from the roofs of buildings across nine provinces.In neighboring Malaysia, tens of thousands of people were forced into shelters as the same storm system barreled through, and Sri Lanka was hit with a cyclone that left at least 193 dead and more than 200 missing, marking one of the country's worst weather disasters in recent years.What I'd like to talk about today is the climatic moment we're at, as weather patterns change and in many cases, amplify, and how these sorts of extreme disasters are also causing untold, less reported upon but perhaps even more vital, for future policy shifts, at least, economic impacts.—The UN Conference of the Parties, or COP meetings, are high-level climate change conferences that have typically been attended by representatives from most governments each year, and where these representatives angle for various climate-related rules and policies, while also bragging about individual nations' climate-related accomplishments.In recent years, such policies have been less ambitious than in previous ones, in part because the initial surge of interest in preventing a 1.5 degrees C increase in average global temperatures is almost certainly no longer an option; climate models were somewhat accurate, but as with many things climate-related, seem to have actually been a little too optimistic—things got worse faster than anticipated, and now the general consensus is that we'll continue to shoot past 1.5 degrees C over the baseline level semi-regularly, and within a few years or a decade, that'll become our new normal.The ambition of the 2015 Paris Agreement is thus no longer an option. We don't yet have a new, generally acceptable—by all those governments and their respective interests—rallying cry, and one of the world's biggest emitters, the United States, is more or less absent at new climate-related meetings, except to periodically show up and lobby for lower renewables goals and an increase in subsidies for and policies that favor the fossil fuel industry.The increase in both number and potency of climate-influenced natural disasters is partly the result of this failure to act, and act forcefully and rapidly enough, by governments and by all the emitting industries they're meant to regulate.The cost of such disasters is skyrocketing—there are expected to be around $145 billion in insured losses, alone, in 2025, which is 6% higher than in 2024—and their human impact is booming as well, including deaths and injuries, but also the number of people being displaced, in some cases permanently, by these disasters.But none of that seems to move the needle much in some areas, in the face of entrenched interests, like the aforementioned fossil fuel industry, and the seeming inability of politicians in some nations to think and act beyond the needs of their next election cycle.That said, progress is still being made on many of these issues; it's just slower than it needs to be to reach previously set goals, like that now-defunct 1.5 degrees C ceiling.Most nations, beyond petro-states like Russia and those with fossil fuel industry-captured governments like the current US administration, have been deploying renewables, especially solar panels, at extraordinary rates. This is primarily the result of China's breakneck deployment of solar, which has offset a lot of energy growth that would have otherwise come from dirty sources like coal in the country, and which has led to a booming overproduction of panels that's allowed them to sell said panels cheap, overseas.Consequently, many nations, like Pakistan and a growing number of countries across Sub-Saharan African, have been buying as many cheap panels as they can afford and bypassing otherwise dirty and unreliable energy grids, creating arrays of microgrids, instead.Despite those notable absences, then, solar energy infrastructure installations have been increasing at staggering rates, and the first half of 2025 has seen the highest rate of capacity additions, yet—though China is still installing twice as much solar as the rest of the world, combined, at this point. Which is still valuable, as they still have a lot of dirty energy generation to offset as their energy needs increase, but more widely disseminated growth is generally seen to be better in the long-term—so the expansion into other parts of the world is arguably the bigger win, here.The economics of renewables may, at some point, convince even the skeptics and those who are politically opposed to the concept of renewables, rather than practically opposed to them, that it's time to change teams. Already, conservative parts of the US, like Texas, are becoming renewables boom-towns, quietly deploying wind and solar because they're often the best, cheapest, most resilient options, even as their politicians rail against them in public and vote for more fossil fuel subsidies.And it may be economics that eventually serve as the next nudge, or forceful shove on this movement toward renewables, as we're reaching a point at which real estate and the global construction industry, not to mention the larger financial system that underpins them and pretty much all other large-scale economic activities, are being not just impacted, but rattled at their roots, by climate change.In early November 2025, real estate listing company Zillow, the biggest such company in the US, stopped showing extreme weather risks for more than a million home sale listings on its site.It started showing these risk ratings in 2024, using data from a risk-modeling company called First Street, and the idea was to give potential buyers a sense of how at-risk a property they were considering buying might be when it comes to wildfires, floods, poor air quality, and other climate and pollution-related issues.Real estate agents hated these ratings, though, in part because there was no way to protest and change them, but also because, well, they might have an expensive coastal property listed that now showed potential buyers it was flood prone, if not today, in a couple of years. It might also show a beautiful mountain property that's uninsurable because of the risk of wildfire damage.A good heuristic for understanding the impact of global climate change is not to think in terms of warming, though that's often part of it, but rather thinking in terms of more radical temperature and weather swings.That means areas that were previously at little or no risk of flooding might suddenly be very at risk of absolutely devastating floods. And the same is true of storms, wildfires, and heat so intense people die just from being outside for an hour, and in which components of one's house might fry or melt.This move by Zillow, the appearance and removal of these risk scores, happened at the same time global insurers are warning that they may have to pull out of more areas, because it's simply no longer possible for them to do business in places where these sorts devastating weather events are happening so regularly, but often unpredictably, and with such intensity—and where the landscapes, ecologies, and homes are not made to withstand such things; all that stuff came of age or was built in another climate reality, so many such assets are simply not made for what's happening now, and what's coming.This is of course an issue for those who already own such assets—homes in newly flood-prone areas, for instance—because it means if there's a flood and a home owner loses their home, they may not be able to rebuild or get a payout that allows them to buy another home elsewhere. That leaves some of these assets stranded, and it leaves a lot of people with a huge chunk of their total resources permanently at risk, unable to move them, or unable to recoup most of their investment, shifting that money elsewhere. It also means entires industries could be at risk, especially banks and other financial institutions that provide loans for those who have purchased homes and other assets in such regions.An inability to get private insurance also means governments will be increasingly on the hook for issuing insurance of last resort to customers, which often costs more, but also, as we've seen with flood insurance in the US, means the government tends to lose a lot of money when increasingly common, major disasters occur on their soil.This isn't just a US thing, though; far from it. Global reinsurers, companies that provide insurance for insurance companies, and whose presence and participation in the market allow the insurance world to function, Swiss Re and Munich Re, recently said that uninsurable areas are growing around the world right now, and lacking some kind of fundamental change to address the climate paradigm shift, we could see a period of devastation in which rebuilding is unlikely or impossible, and a resultant period in which there's little or no new construction because no one wants to own a home or factory or other asset that cannot be insured—it's just not a smart investment.This isn't just a threat to individual home owners, then, it's potentially a threat to the whole of the global financial system, and every person and business attached to it, which in turn is a threat to global governance and the way property and economics work.There's a chance the worst-possible outcomes here can still be avoided, but with each new increase in global average temperature, the impacts become worse and less predictable, and the economics of simply making, protecting, and owning things become less and less favorable.Show Noteshttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/climate/zillow-climate-risk-scores-homes.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/climate/climate-change-disinformation.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/world/asia/india-delhi-pollution.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/world/asia/flooding-indonesia-thailand-southeast-asia.htmlhttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y9ejley9dohttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/nov/22/cop30-deal-inches-closer-to-end-of-fossil-fuel-era-after-bitter-standoffhttps://theconversation.com/the-world-lost-the-climate-gamble-now-it-faces-a-dangerous-new-reality-270392https://theconversation.com/earth-is-already-shooting-through-the-1-5-c-global-warming-limit-two-major-studies-show-249133https://www.404media.co/americas-polarization-has-become-the-worlds-side-hustle/https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/08/climate-insurers-are-worried-the-world-could-soon-become-uninsurable-.htmlhttps://www.imd.org/ibyimd/sustainability/climate-change-the-emergence-of-uninsurable-areas-businesses-must-act-now-or-pay-later/https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/democrats/2024/12/climate-risks-present-a-significant-threat-to-the-u-s-insurance-and-housing-marketshttps://www.weforum.org/stories/2025/04/financial-system-warning-climate-nature-stories-this-week/https://www.weforum.org/stories/2025/05/costs-climate-disasters-145-billion-nature-climate-news/https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/11/solars-growth-in-us-almost-enough-to-offset-rising-energy-use/https://ember-energy.org/latest-updates/global-solar-installations-surge-64-in-first-half-of-2025/ This is a public episode.

It's Friday, November 28th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by Jonathan Clark and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. (Contact@eanvoiceit.com) New Anti-Conversion Laws in India According to Persecution.org Police in the northwestern Indian state of Rajasthan recently registered the first case under the state's recently enacted anti-conversion legislation against two missionaries. The Christians were accused of carrying out religious conversions at a gathering through “allurement,” according to media reports. After registering the case on Nov. 20, police issued notices to the two missionaries – Chandy Varghese from New Delhi and Arun John from Kota – claiming they promoted conversion and baptised several people during a three-day program known as ‘Spiritual Satsang' at Beersheba Church in Kota. Police investigated after videos and social media clips surfaced showing event speeches and activities. Several youths allegedly announced from the stage that they put their faith in Jesus Christ and were baptized, while calling upon others to adopt Christianity. Rajasthan is one of 12 states in India that has strict anti-conversion laws. A first information report (FIR) was registered by the police after complaints were lodged by hardline Hindu groups active in controlling Christian activities. 2 Thessalonians 3:2-3 That we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.  But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. Christians in Uganda Threatened Despite Freedom of Religion Laws A Sudanese Christian family in Uganda is living in fear after Muslim extremists from Sudan and Somalia threatened to kill them. Safaa Yousif, who fled her native Sudan to Uganda due to conflict and religious persecution in 2016, received a text message from an anonymous number threatening to kill her family. Muslims from Somalia have also threatened her.  Yousif said she once gave discipleship classes to new converts, and a Somali Muslim who had put his faith in Christ was kidnapped and tortured by his co-religionists from Somalia and Sudan. Somalia is ranked 2nd on the Christian support group Open Doors 2025 World Watch List of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  Its constitution establishes Islam as the state religion and prohibits the propagation of any other religion, according to the US State Department.  It also requires that laws comply with Sharia Principles, with no exceptions in application for non-Muslims. The threats on Yousif's family in Uganda were the latest of many instances of persecution of Christians in Uganda. An interesting fact to consider is that Uganda's constitution and other laws provide for religious freedom, including the right to propagate one's faith and convert from one faith to another.  Muslims make up no more than 12 percent of Uganda's population, with high concentrations in eastern areas of the country. Pray that the Yousif family be reminded of the words of Jesus in Acts 1:7-8 It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.  But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit as come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth. New hurdle in James Comey case The prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey hit another hurdle last Wednesday as the Justice Department encountered mounting questions about how the case was presented to a grand jury for indictment, reports the Associated Press. The development risked further jeopardizing a politically charged prosecution already subject to multiple challenges and demands for its dismissal. It came during a hearing in which Comey's lawyers asked U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff to throw out the case on grounds that the government was being vindictive and as a separate challenge to Lindsey Halligan, the hastily appointed and inexperienced prosecutor who secured the indictment, is pending. The Justice Department's acknowledgment under questioning from a judge that the full grand jury did not review a copy of the final indictment is the latest indication of its seemingly disjointed pursuit of a criminal case against one of President Donald Trump's political enemies. Comey was fired by Trump in May 2017 while overseeing an FBI investigation into potential ties between Russia and Trump's 2016 campaign. The two have been publicly at odds ever since. New Exoskeleton Suit is Accomplishing Miracles At a Canadian wellness center, a unique robotic exoskeleton is allowing children with developmental disorders to walk-often for the first time. The nonprofit's Regina location in Canada is eager to get families to come and try it out.  It can be used to correct a child's gait or help them take their first steps, and is suitable for a variety of conditions including spinal cord injuries and cerebral palsy. Good News Network reports that the First Steps Wellness Center in Canada received the Trexo exoskeleton out of the goodness of someone's heart!  The $100,000 machine was donated to help children like Leo, a boy born with a rare genetic disease which left him a prognosis that walking would be impossible.  But, latched into the Trexo walker at First Steps, his mother Anna has watched her son learn to walk and develop a musculature that has him able to take steps on his own. ANNA: “He does a few steps right now by himself, and with Trexo, I'm pretty sure he'll be able to do more steps in the future, once we start using it more often.” There are currently 6 Trexo exoskeletons sold and in use today.  After a few sessions, how is Leo doing today? ANNA: “He can walk! You know, be part of everybody else, like walk like other kids. So, it's kind of- It's unique. He did amazing. I have butterflies. I can't believe [this] thing even exists!” Despite the 6 figure price tag it is the hope that more of the Trexo walkers will be made available in Canada and the US.

India and the United Kingdom have spent decades trying to define their post-colonial relationship—part partnership, part rivalry, and often, part courtship. Today, that relationship is being recast amid trade talks, tech cooperation, and geopolitical shifts. The two sides recently signed a landmark trade agreement and officials in London and New Delhi are sounding a new tone of optimism about what the two countries might do together— especially in a post-American world. To talk more about the new era in ties between the UK and India, Milan is joined on the podcast this week by Avinash Paliwal. Avinash is a Reader in International Relations at SOAS University of London. He is the author of two books, My Enemy's Enemy – India in Afghanistan from the Soviet Invasion to the US Withdrawal and India's Near East – A New History. In 2024-25, he was seconded to the UK Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office where he covered ‘India and South Asia'.  Milan and Avinash discuss the troubled history between the two powers, the transformation of the relationship in recent years, and their emerging trade and technology links. Plus, the two discuss the Indian diaspora in the United Kingdom, frictions around Russia and Pakistan, and the impact of rising nativism in the UK.Listen on YouTube here.Episode notes:1.  Avinash Paliwal, “India's bilateral diplomacy: A quiet rehaul of India-UK relations,” Grand Tamasha, November 5, 2025.2. “The Past, Present, and Future of India's Near East (with Avinash Paliwal),” Grand Tamasha, November 20, 2024.3. “What the Taliban Takeover Means for India (with Avinash Paliwal),” Grand Tamasha, September 15, 2021.4. “Can Europe be India's Plan B? (with James Crabtree),” Grand Tamasha, September 17, 2025.5. “India and the Reordering of Transatlantic Relations (with Tara Varma),” Grand Tamasha, March 11, 2025.

In a crowded neighborhood just outside New Delhi, children started vanishing one by one. Their families begged the police for help, only to be ignored. So the parents decided to take matters into their own hands, and what they uncovered led to one of the most horrifying discoveries in India's criminal history. As shocking new details come to light nearly two decades later, the question remains: Did the justice system get it right…or was the real truth buried all along?
