A gigantic cigar-shaped craft shadowed a NATO airliner over the Atlantic in 1963, the same year similar motherships appeared over Australia, Canada, and the skies of a Britain overrun by headless creatures and desecrated churches.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/1963DarkForcesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p87kmstFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: A “gigantic cigar-shaped UFO” is spotted over the Atlantic in 1963, but the witness is so terrified by her experiences that it takes her twenty years to come forward to tell her story.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January 05, 2022This episode of Weird Darkness opens over the north Atlantic in May 1963, where a NATO English-language secretary based in Paris, flying on a near-empty DC-8 carrying fifty staff from Orly Airport to ministerial meetings in Ottawa, looked from her window and saw a dark grey, torpedo-shaped object six to seven thousand feet below the plane — its rear cut off sharply and squarely, with no wings, windows, or visible propulsion — before it vanished into cloud and the aircraft dropped into violent turbulence. Terrified and certain no one else aboard had noticed, she said nothing for almost twenty years, until a 1980 letter to Flying Saucer Review brought the account to light and the magazine published it the following year. The segment threads her sighting into a longer record of cigar-shaped craft: Melvin Vagle Jr. and his wife spotting a windowed object hovering over a plowed field near Grafton, Nebraska on November 22, 1961; Miss Footner tracking a silver, hundred-foot craft over Saanich Mountain near Victoria, British Columbia in early 1960; Reverend Lionel Browning and his wife photographing a grey mothership over Cressy, Tasmania on October 4, 1960 as smaller discs darted out of the clouds and explosions later shook nearby houses; RCMP Constable James Blackwood watching a cigar-shaped object near Clarenville, Newfoundland on November 26, 1978 mirror his patrol car's flashing lights for nearly two hours; a couple camping at Hexham, New South Wales in late December 1984 seeing discs swarm a lit craft that seemed to carry a helmeted figure; and an anonymous Swedish driver on Route 55 near Orsundsbro in June 1985 stepping out of her car to study a windowed craft she first mistook for a police helicopter.From there the episode crosses to England, where the night of November 16, 1963 brought four teenagers walking home from a dance past Sandling Park near Hythe, Kent face to face with a human-sized, headless creature with wings on its back; seventeen-year-old John Flaxton and eighteen-year-old Mervyn Hutchinson had first watched a bright gold oval descend behind the trees, and Flaxton felt a sudden, unexplained cold as the thing came at them through the woodland. The same evening in Saltwood, Tony Harrison and three companions saw a glowing oval and a figure in a scarlet cloak holding a flickering lantern, and within days John McGoldrick discovered three giant footprints, each roughly two feet long, near the spot where Keith Croucher had reported an identical object over a football field. The story then opens out into a year-long British wave: a flying saucer interfering with a woman's car headlights near Bluebell Hill in Kent; two men setting up a tripod that fired colored lights into the sky over the Britannia Barracks in Norwich; a market researcher named Joelle in Castleton encountering men who claimed to be extraterrestrials with bases on two of Jupiter's moons; and a dome-shaped craft that reportedly landed at RAF Cosford on December 10, washing the base in green light before vanishing. Stranger creatures shared the year — the Surrey Puma and other big cats stalking Shooter's Hill in London from July 18, a half-man, half-horse centaur seen in Sefton Park by witnesses including a police officer, a bulldog-headed monster rising beside two fishermen on Loch Ness, and a dinosaur-like animal that scattered seals along Cardigan Bay and left a half-eaten carcass behind. The episode closes on a darker thread of occult activity: two children found playing with a human skull taken from the ruined St. Mary's Church at Clophill in Bedfordshire, where Maltese crosses, cockerel feathers, and six tampered women's graves were uncovered; six decapitated horse heads and a cow, their jaws wrenched apart, discovered in Bluebell Woods at Caddington; clay effigies pierced with thorns and a sheep's head studded with thirteen thorns nailed up at Castle Rising in Norfolk; and a group of self-styled Devil worshippers interrupted mid-ritual at an active church in Westham, Sussex on December 7 — all set against a 1963 that began with one of the worst winters on record, claimed Labour leader Hugh Gaitskell and the poet Sylvia Plath, saw Ian Brady and Myra Hindley begin the Moors murders, and ended weeks after the assassination of President Kennedy.

Following a series of attacks, experts have rejected calls for a shark hunt. However, the New South Wales government is not ruling it out. This has sparked a wider debate about how to stay safe in water and raised the question of whether governments should do more. - Nach einer Reihe von Angriffen haben Experten Forderungen nach einer Haifischjagd zurückgewiesen. Die Regierung von New South Wales hingegen hat erklärt, das nicht ausschließen zu wollen. Dies hat eine breitere Debatte darüber ausgelöst, wie man sich im Wasser sicher verhalten kann und die Frage aufgeworfen, ob die Regierungen mehr tun sollten.

In STEM fields, being LGBTQ+ can be used against you. That's when having allies is especially important. Lucas Lixinski, a professor at the Faculty of Law and Justice at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, in Australia talks honestly and openly about how hard being an ally can be, but also how wonderful it is.  Lixinski also describes about how, in tough times, one may need to hide one's LGBTQ+-ness for a moment. But even in those dark phases, one can rest assured that a time will come in which you can, as he says, "be your full-blown joyous self. " (Art. J. Jackson)

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Mondays Down Under, hosts Lee Salisbury, Shane Melrose, and Nick take listeners behind the scenes of awards season, conference travel, industry recognition, and the importance of networking within the swimming pool industry. From award ceremonies across Australia to upcoming conferences and trade shows, the conversation explores how professional development, industry engagement, and relationship building continue to shape successful pool businesses. Episode HighlightsAwards Season Across Australia and New ZealandLee shares her experience attending both the ACT and New South Wales industry awards ceremonies, celebrating outstanding achievements from pool builders, technicians, retailers, and service professionals. The hosts discuss the significance of industry recognition and the challenges many professionals face when considering self-nomination for awards. The Challenge of Self-NominationThe discussion explores why many highly qualified professionals hesitate to put themselves forward for awards, despite being deserving candidates. The hosts examine potential alternatives, including peer nominations, and discuss ways industry organizations might encourage greater participation from technicians, retailers, and service professionals. What Really Happens Behind the Judging ProcessLee offers insight into the award judging process, explaining how applications are reviewed, scored, and evaluated by multiple judges. The conversation highlights the extensive effort that goes into ensuring fairness and recognizing excellence across a wide range of industry categories. Recognizing Excellence in the Pool IndustrySeveral award winners and finalists are recognized throughout the episode, including discussions about the qualities that separate outstanding businesses and professionals from the rest of the field. The hosts emphasize the importance of technical expertise, customer service, mentorship, and industry leadership. The Value of Industry ConferencesThe conversation shifts to conference season, with discussions about supplier conferences, trade events, educational opportunities, and networking experiences. The hosts share stories from conferences held in destinations including New Zealand, Fiji, Vietnam, Thailand, Israel, and beyond. Why Networking MattersBeyond product training and education, the hosts explain how conferences create opportunities to build relationships, exchange ideas, learn from peers, and develop lifelong friendships within the industry. These connections often prove just as valuable as the formal educational sessions themselves. Looking Ahead to SplashWith the upcoming Splash Trade Show approaching, the hosts preview educational sessions, industry forums, awards presentations, networking events, and opportunities for listeners to connect with the Talking Pools team in person. Winter Recharge Before Summer ReturnsAs the southern hemisphere enters winter, the discussion concludes with a reminder about the importance of rest, recovery, and preparing for the next busy season. The hosts encourage business owners and staff alike to use the quieter months to recharge and invest in professional development. Key Takeaways Industry awards recognize far more than popularity—they reward professionalism, technical expertise, and dedication.  Many deserving professionals never enter awards due to reluctance around self-promotion.  Conferences provide education, networking, and valuable business-building opportunities.  Strong industry relationships often lead to better business outcomes and lifelong professional connections.  The quieter winter months offer an important opportunity to recharge before the demands of the next season arrive. Connect With Talking PoolsHave a topic suggestion or question for the Talking Pools Podcast Network?

In this episode of Humans of Agriculture, Oli sits down with Hamish Irvine, Head of Southern States at Halter Australia, to explore the technology, leadership and mindset driving one of agriculture's fastest-growing companies.Growing up on a mixed farming operation in western New South Wales, Hamish always imagined a future on the land. But after drought forced a change in direction, his career took him through the meat industry, global supply chains and commercial leadership before landing at Halter, the virtual fencing and livestock management company now transforming grazing systems across Australia and New Zealand.This conversation goes beyond the technology itself. Hamish shares the lessons that shaped his career, what it takes to build high-performing teams, and why feedback, accountability and culture are critical in fast-growing businesses.

No one has had a greater influence on New South Wales rugby league than Brad Fittler. A Blues legend, Freddy played a record 31 State of Origin matches for NSW before later coaching his state on 18 occasions. But the Origin story closest to his heart came in 2004, when Phil Gould convinced him to return from representative retirement for one final campaign. It wasn't all smooth sailing. The comeback didn't start as planned, but it ended with one of the most memorable fairytale finishes in Origin history. In this episode of Stories of Origin, Brad Fittler relives the 2004 series, his final season in the Sky Blue jersey, the unforgettable decider, and the perfect send-off alongside Phil Gould. A farewell that remains one of the great moments in Origin history.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it mean to believe in ghosts? It turns out that's exactly the wrong question. In this special episode of Talking Indonesia, co-hosts Tito Ambyo and Jamie Edmonds sit down together not as interviewer and guest, but as co-editors who have spent months immersed in a collection of essays on ghosts and haunting in Indonesia. The result is something that is a bit different than the usual podcast interview: two scholars thinking aloud about what the ghostly has done to them. They move between the personal and the theoretical. Jamie's childhood on a road called Whispering Woods, his years navigating psychosis and hallucination, and the way ghost stories kept refusing to let him stay on the outside. And Tito's discovery, buried in a Dutch East Indies newspaper, that his grandfather hosted a radio programme about spirituality, which was a revelation that arrived mid-thesis, mid-life, with the force of a haunting. The episode also serves as a guide to the Inside Indonesia special edition on ghosts that Tito and Jamie co-edited: essays on pulung gantung in Gunung Kidul, haunted manuscripts that resist digitisation, headless soldiers whose presence keeps colonial violence from being forgotten, female dancers whose spectral power is reshaping Indonesian cinema, and journalists learning to take seriously the tree that refused to be felled. What emerges from all of it is not an argument for or against the existence of ghosts, but something more interesting: a case for sitting with what we cannot explain, and for the kind of knowing that begins with admitting we do not know. In this episode of Talking Indonesia, Tito Ambyo and Jamie Edmonds explore what ghosts teach us about Indonesia — and about ourselves. Jamie Edmonds is Director of the Critical Languages Institute, Associate Director of the Melikian Center for Russian, Eurasian, and East European Studies, and Clinical Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Arizona State University. His research focuses on Islam, popular culture, and the supernatural in Indonesia. In 2026, the Talking Indonesia podcast is co-hosted by Dr Jemma Purdey from the Australia-Indonesia Centre, Dr Elisabeth Kramer from the University of New South Wales, Dr Tito Ambyo from RMIT, Dr Jacqui Baker from Murdoch University, and Dr Clara Siagian from University College London.

Experts have dismissed calls to cull sharks after a spate of attacks, while the New South Wales government says it won't rule anything out. It has sparked a wider conversation about how to stay safe in the water, and whether governments could be doing more.

What happens when three experienced investigators from opposite sides of the world sit down to examine how police respond to an active shooter? In this special crossover between Stop the Killing and Watching Two Detectives, former FBI Special Agent Katherine Schweit joins retired New South Wales detectives Peter Hogan and Scott Rogan for an expert examination of the lessons that have reshaped mass-shooting prevention, preparation and police response. Katherine was working on national security and counterterrorism cases when the murder of 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School changed the direction of her career. Following the shooting, she was appointed to the White House team tasked with developing a coordinated national response to mass shootings and became the architect of the FBI's Active Shooter Program. In Part One, Katherine explains how the devastating events at Sandy Hook helped accelerate a fundamental change in policing: moving away from the traditional strategy of “contain, negotiate and wait” towards the immediate deployment of officers to confront and stop an active threat. Peter and Scott reveal how those lessons travelled across the world and influenced Australian policing. They discuss the introduction of New South Wales Police's Active Armed Offender training, the impact of the 2014 Lindt Café siege and the confronting reality of preparing ordinary frontline officers to run towards attackers armed with military-style weapons. Together, they explore: Why active-shooter incidents can be over within minutes The extraordinary risks faced by the first officers entering the scene Why an active shooter and a mass shooting are not always the same thing Why workplaces—not schools—account for many active-shooter attacks in the United States The challenges of negotiating with attackers driven by extremist or ideological motives Why warning signs must be recognised and reported before violence begins How information shared by one student helped prevent a planned school shooting Why measuring the attacks that never happened is so important Katherine also shares the remarkable story of the message that reminded her why Stop the Killing must continue: a school vice principal who credited the podcast with helping her team recognise the warning signs and prevent a planned attack. This conversation lays the groundwork for the next part of the series, when Katherine, Peter and Scott turn their attention to the December 14, 2025 Bondi Beach terrorist attack, examining the actions of the attackers, civilians and responding officers through their combined FBI and Australian policing experience. The attack targeted a Hanukkah celebration and killed 15 people.  This is not simply a conversation about what happened. It is a conversation about what has been learned, what has changed—and what still needs to change to stop the next attack. Listen now to Part One of this special multi-part crossover.

Before the team turns its attention to the Bondi Beach killings, they take a deeper look at the realities that sit behind conversations about firearms, mass violence and public safety. Katherine explains why she wrote Stop the Killing: A Simple Guide to the Second Amendment and why productive conversations about guns in the United States have become so difficult. With hundreds of millions of firearms already in circulation, she argues that prevention has to begin with the laws, risks and realities that currently exist—not the world people wish existed. The conversation also examines one of the most overlooked parts of America's firearms crisis: suicide. Katherine explains that the majority of firearm deaths in the United States are self-inflicted, raising difficult questions about access to weapons during moments of crisis and how firearms can turn a temporary period of distress into an irreversible outcome. Peter, Scott and Katherine discuss: Why active-shooter attacks and other forms of mass violence are not directly comparable How the weapon used can dramatically change the number of casualties The difference between bolt-action, semi-automatic and automatic firearms Why Australia's firearms restrictions mattered during the Bondi Beach attack How the elevated firing position at Bondi could have produced an even greater loss of life if different weapons had been available What the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting demonstrates about firing speed, distance and crowd density Why statistics must be properly explained rather than used to support a predetermined argument The conversation then moves from mass-shooting prevention to another extraordinary investigation from Katherine's career. Katherine introduces her book Women Who Talk to the Dead, which follows Detroit detective Shannon Jones and FBI forensic specialist Leslie Larsen as they uncover a connection between missing-person investigations and unidentified murder victims buried in paupers' graves. What begins with one detective searching through decades-old paper files develops into the largest exhumation of murder victims ever undertaken by the FBI. Katherine reveals how a team of female detectives, prosecutors, forensic anthropologists and investigators volunteered their expertise and time to recover remains, obtain DNA and finally return names to people who had been unidentified for decades. Peter also reflects on his own experience working alongside a forensic anthropologist during the painstaking exhumation of a murder victim—and why a line in a news report stating that investigators “exhumed the body and obtained DNA” can never capture the time, care and expertise that work truly requires. This episode is about the human realities hidden behind the statistics: the people lost to firearms, the investigators who carry the responsibility of finding answers and the extraordinary work required to give unidentified victims their names back. And after two episodes of expert discussion, the stage is now set. In Part Three, Katherine Schweit, Peter Hogan and Scott Rogan turn their combined FBI and New South Wales policing experience towards the Bondi Beach killings and examine the events of that tragic day.

On this day, 17 June 1971, construction workers in New South Wales initiated a "green ban", refusing to build luxury houses over Kelly's Bush, the last open space in a suburb. Local women had been campaigning to save the park, and eventually they approached construction workers and their union, the Builders Labourers Federation (BLF). The workers agreed to boycott the work, in a move which became known as a "green ban". Despite a management threat to use scab replacement workers, the builders and residents won, and Kelly's Bush remains an open public reserve today. A wave of green bans subsequently began which stopped billions of dollars of harmful development over the next four years. Wildlife and historic buildings were protected, as well as working-class and Aboriginal housing, and bans also took place in defence of women's and LGBT+ rights.We tell the inspiring story of the green bans in our podcast episodes 47-48: https://workingclasshistory.com/2020/10/30/e47-48-green-bans/Our work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Following a humiliating 44-24 defeat in Origin 2 at the MCG, State of Origin Game 2 leaves the NSW Blues in absolute tatters. Michael Carayannis and Brent Read unload on the disgraceful second-half performance, calling out Laurie Daley getting out-coached again by Billy Slater's rampant Maroons. With the series heading to a Suncorp decider, the boys orchestrate an unprecedented roster cleanout, demanding up to 10 player changes. They break down the diabolical bench rotation that left Api Koroisau completely unused, the catastrophic Dylan Lucas selection blunder over Haumole Olakau'atu, and why bringing back Latrell Mitchell, Tom Trbojevic, and Stephen Crichton is the only way New South Wales can bully their way to an improbable series victory.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A US federal court just ruled the IRS acted in an "arbitrary and capricious" manner on solar and wind safe harbor rules, shaking up project timelines for developers racing toward the July 4, 2026 deadline. Meanwhile, at the Shanghai Solar Show (SNEC), energy storage claimed more floor space than solar panels for the first time, signaling a major shift in where the industry is placing its bets. Tim and John dig into safe harbor court rulings, vertical integration in US module manufacturing, battery technology milestones, and agrivoltaics at the Vatican. Viewers get first-hand reporting from the Shanghai Solar Show floor alongside detailed discussion of what these stories mean for developers, installers, and investors. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSIRS Safe Harbor Court Ruling (PV Magazine): A US federal court in DC ruled the IRS acted arbitrarily in requiring wind and solar projects above 1.5 MW AC to meet a continuous physical work test to qualify for safe harbor. The ruling opens a potential 5% spend pathway for developers who could not meet construction requirements. Shanghai Solar Show 2026(BSKY): John Weaver returned from his first visit to the Shanghai solar show and reported that battery storage occupied more floor space than solar panels. Module efficiencies of 25% were common across exhibitors, and one solar module clocked in at 27%. BYD's 2,710 Amp-Hour Battery Cell: BYD showcased a single battery cell rated at 2,710 amp-hours, roughly double the largest cell previously available. BYD's press materials claimed a levelized cost of storage of 1.4 cents per kilowatt-hour over 10,000 cycles, compared to the 3 to 4 cent range seen elsewhere. Q Cells Full Vertical Integration in Georgia: Q Cells announced a 3-gigawatt fully vertically integrated manufacturing facility in Georgia, covering polysilicon through module assembly. The announcement means US-made solar modules are now available from a single domestic supply chain. Australia's First 8-Hour Battery, New South Wales (PV Magazine): Australia's first 8-hour battery storage system reached full operations in New South Wales, using Tesla Megapack units configured to charge at 100 MW and discharge at 50 MW. C&I Battery Storage Playbook for 2026: Tim published a story in Solar Builder on the Earn, Save, Protect framework from Intelligent Generation, a three-part guide to battery value stacking for commercial and industrial installers. (Solar Builder) Vatican Agrivoltaic Project: Pope Leo XIV established the Fratello Sole Foundation to implement an agrivoltaic installation at the Vatican, aligned with Pope Francis's 2024 sustainability directive. The project will supply power to Vatican Radio's transmission center and Vatican City State. (Vatican News)This episode is built for solar developers, commercial installers, battery storage professionals, and clean energy investors tracking policy and technology in 2026. The safe harbor ruling alone could affect capital decisions on projects above 1.5 MW AC before the July 3 deadline. Between the Shanghai show floor, the QCells factory update, and Australia's 8-hour battery milestone, this episode covers the week's most consequential moves in clean energy.  Support the showConnect with Tim  Clean Power Hour  Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

In 1921, the quiet New South Wales town of Guyra became the centre of one of Australia's strangest paranormal cases. Rocks rained from empty rooms, objects moved on their own, furniture overturned, and terrified witnesses claimed unseen forces were haunting a local farmhouse.What began as a family disturbance quickly drew neighbours, police, reporters, and sceptics from across the country. Some believed it was a genuine haunting. Others suspected a hoax. But even after investigations, the mystery of the Guyra Poltergeist refused to disappear.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-crap-in-australia--2968350/support.

The history of Japanese Australians goes back over 100 years. However, it was severely interrupted by the mass deportation in 1946, following the WWII. A photographic exhibition depicting Japanese immigrants from the late 19th to the early 20th century—the period before this break—is currently being held in Cowra, New South Wales, known as the ‘Town of Reconciliation'. It is an attempt to highlight the role and contributions of Japanese immigrants during the period when Australia was beginning to take shape as a nation. We spoke to Dr Tetsu Kimura, a cultural historian at Flinders University who curated the exhibition, and Dr Peter Prince, a legal historian and Research Affiliate at the University of Sydney Faculty of Law, who talks about his research on Jiro Muramatsu, an Australian who is buried in Cowra as a Japanese national. - オーストラリアの日系移民。戦後1946年の日本への大量強制送還で、その歴史がいったん途切れてしまったことを知っていますか？その途切れる以前の日系コミュニティーが、オーストラリアの近代国家形成に果たした役割を紹介する写真展「Unspoken Contributions」が、ニューサウスウェールズ州カウラの日本庭園で開かれています。SBSの日本語放送は火木金の午後１時からSBS3で生放送！火木土の夜10時からはおやすみ前にSBS1で再放送が聞けます。SBS日本語放送ポッドキャストから過去のストーリーを聞くこともできます。無料でダウンロードできるSBS Audio Appもどうぞ。SBS 日本語放送のFacebookとInstagramもお忘れなく。

Tháng 04/2026, Nhật Bản “sửa đổi ba nguyên tắc về chuyển giao các thiết bị và công nghệ quốc phòng” để xây dựng chiến lược quốc phòng mới, trong đó có mục đích mở rộng hoạt động xuất khẩu sang cả các loại vũ khí sát thương. Một cơ chế mới cũng đã được thành lập - Chương trình Hỗ trợ an ninh chính thức (OSA) - nhằm mục đích thúc đẩy hợp tác kỹ thuật và trang thiết bị quốc phòng. Và Việt Nam được Nhật Bản xác định là ứng cử viên ưu tiên trong chương trình OSA. Những thay đổi mới trong chính sách quốc phòng của Nhật Bản có tạo thêm những cơ hội mới cho hợp tác với Hà Nội trong lĩnh vực này không ? RFI Tiếng Việt phỏng vấn nghiên cứu sinh Nguyễn Thế Phương, chuyên về lĩnh vực an ninh hàng hải, Đại học New South Wales, Úc. RFI : Trả lời báo tài chính Nikkei Asia ngày 23/04/2026, ông Minoru Kihara, chánh văn phòng thủ tướng Nhật Bản, cho biết Tokyo đã cho phép “sửa đổi ba nguyên tắc về chuyển giao các thiết bị và công nghệ quốc phòng”. Nội dung chính sách mới của Nhật Bản là gì? Tại sao Tokyo lại thay đổi chính sách vào thời điểm này ? Nguyễn Thế Phương : Sau Chiến tranh Thế giới thứ hai, toàn bộ tư duy chiến lược của Nhật là tập trung vô phát triển kinh tế nội địa và tư duy chiến lược của Nhật là chủ hòa. Việc Nhật Bản thay đổi “ba nguyên tắc về chuyển giao các thiết bị quốc phòng” nằm trong sự thay đổi căn bản trong tư duy quốc phòng, văn hóa chiến lược của họ kể từ khoảng đầu thế kỷ thứ XXI với sự trỗi dậy của Trung Quốc, môi trường an ninh khu vực diễn biến ngày càng phức tạp : Sự gia tăng sức mạnh của các hoạt động đơn phương mà nhiều học giả nói là “cố tình thay đổi trạng thái trật tự” của Trung Quốc, đặc biệt là những vấn đề tranh chấp trên biển. Đối với Nhật Bản, một trong những mối nguy nữa, đó là mối đe dọa từ Bắc Triều Bắc. Cũng nói thêm một chút, nước Mỹ dưới thời Donald Trump mong muốn đồng minh, đặc biệt là những đồng minh hiệp ước của họ, có những chính sách và có tiếng nói mạnh mẽ hơn trong việc tự lực xây dựng năng lực quốc phòng, chứ không còn hoàn toàn dựa vào Mỹ với tư cách là một quốc gia bảo trợ an ninh nữa. Điểm thứ ba là điểm mà nhiều người bỏ qua, đó là Nhật Bản cần một cách tiếp cận mới hơn để làm mới ngành công nghệ quốc phòng trong nước. Bởi vì từ trước tới nay, Nhật Bản cấm xuất khẩu trang thiết bị quốc phòng và vũ khí ra nước ngoài. Toàn bộ hạn chế về mặt xuất khẩu này khiến cho ngành công nghiệp Nhật, đặc biệt là công nghiệp quốc phòng, bị hạn chế tính cạnh tranh, đặc biệt trong bối cảnh hiện nay, với những cuộc xung đột khắp nơi trên thế giới thì thị trường vũ khí bắt đầu mang lại lợi nhuận rất lớn. Và Nhật Bản dường như cũng muốn bắt đầu thay đổi cách tiếp cận và tham gia vào thị trường công nghiệp quốc phòng chủ động hơn. Đọc thêmViệt Nam, Nhật Bản "mạnh mẽ" chống lại việc làm thay đổi nguyên trạng các vùng biển trong khu vực Và cuối cùng là yếu tố nội bộ, đó là sự thay đổi về mặt tư duy của liên minh cầm quyền Nhật Bản, bắt đầu từ thời Shinzo Abe. Cách đây khoảng 10-15 năm, đảng Dân Chủ Tự Do đề xuất Chiến lược Ấn Độ-Thái Bình Dương. Việc này cho thấy rằng đảng Dân Chủ Tự Do mong muốn đưa nước Nhật ra khỏi tư duy chủ hòa và tham gia nhiều hơn về việc tái định hình cấu trúc an ninh khu vực. Đây là bốn điểm tạm gọi là “bốn nền tảng” để giải thích tại sao Nhật Bản bắt đầu phải thay đổi nguyên tắc về chuyển giao thiết bị công nghệ quốc phòng. Với việc thay đổi nguyên tắc mới, họ sẽ bắt đầu không giới hạn thiết bị chuyển giao, mà sẽ mở rộng tới những loại trang thiết bị có thể là sát thương, ví dụ vũ khí tấn công, xe tăng, máy bay và những trang bị khác. Điểm thứ hai, Nhật Bản cho phép hợp tác phát triển các loại vũ khí song phương, một ví dụ ở đây là phát triển máy bay chiến đấu thế hệ thứ năm giữa Nhật, Anh và Ý. Điểm này sẽ cho phép Nhật chủ động hơn, thích ứng linh hoạt hơn trong chính sách phát triển công nghiệp quốc phòng. RFI : Việt Nam thiết lập quan hệ đối tác chiến lược toàn diện với Nhật Bản. Việt Nam là quốc gia thứ 11 ký một thỏa thuận chuyển giao thiết bị, công nghệ quốc phòng với Nhật Bản. Cho đến nay, Tokyo hỗ trợ Hà Nội như thế nào trong khuôn khổ này ? Nguyễn Thế Phương : Trước đây, việc hỗ trợ về mặt chuyển giao thiết bị hoặc công nghệ quốc phòng song phương, chủ yếu Việt Nam sẽ là bên nhận. Những hỗ trợ này chủ yếu xoay quanh việc nâng cao năng lực nhận thức hàng hải, an ninh biển và chủ yếu liên quan đến những loại trang thiết bị vũ khí phi sát thương. Điểm nổi bật thứ nhất là việc chuyển giao tàu tuần tra và phương tiện giúp Việt Nam có thể cải thiện năng lực tuần tra hàng hải, tiêu biểu là việc Việt Nam nhận một số loại tàu cảnh sát biển loại biên của Nhật Bản. Những tàu này thực ra vẫn rất tốt và vẫn phục vụ rất hiệu quả trong quá trình Việt Nam bảo vệ lợi ích trên biển ở thời điểm hiện tại. Đây là khoản hỗ trợ lớn nhất. Đọc thêmViệt Nam, Nhật Bản đạt thỏa thuận về chuyển giao công nghệ quốc phòng Thứ hai là thiết bị giám sát công nghệ hàng hải, ví dụ radar, các thiết bị lặn, công nghệ viễn thám, thông tin liên lạc phục vụ cho quá trình tìm kiếm, cứu nạn, giám sát thực địa trên biển. Và thứ ba là đào tạo, nâng cao năng lực chuyên môn cho các lực lượng của Việt Nam, đặc biệt là lực lượng cảnh sát biển và kiểm ngư. Đây là điểm mà hai bên thường xuyên tiến hành : Trao đổi đoàn, trao đổi tàu, lực lượng Việt Nam qua Nhật Bản để tập huấn. Ở đây tập trung vào một số vấn đề phi tác chiến, ví dụ quân y, phá bom mìn, khắc phục hậu quả chiến tranh, an ninh mạng. Đối với quân đội còn có gìn giữ hòa bình. Đó là ba mảng mà Việt Nam nhận được hỗ trợ có thể nói là rõ ràng nhất từ Nhật Bản thông qua chương trình chuyển giao thiết bị và công nghệ quốc phòng. RFI : Việt Nam được Nhật Bản xác định là ứng cử viên ưu tiên cho Chương trình Hỗ trợ an ninh chính thức (OSA). Anh có thể giải thích OSA là gì ? Theo một quan chức chính phủ Nhật Bản, “quá trình này đôi khi có thể mất thời gian”. Những nước được chọn để hợp tác an ninh thông qua OSA có vai trò như thế nào trong chiến lược của Nhật Bản ? Nguyễn Thế Phương : OSA (Official Security Assistance) là hỗ trợ an ninh chính thức. Đây là một trong những chương trình rất mới, là một công cụ đối ngoại rất mới của Nhật, được thông qua trong chiến lược an ninh quốc gia cuối năm 2022. ODA, là một khái niệm mà chúng ta rất quen thuộc, chỉ giới hạn nghiêm ngặt (ở đây từ “nghiêm ngặt” là từ quan trọng) cho phát triển kinh tế-xã hội. Cho nên nếu như Nhật Bản muốn hỗ trợ về mặt an ninh quốc phòng cho các quốc gia khác thì họ phải tạo ra một cơ chế hoàn toàn mới, chứ không phải là ODA. Thì OSA chính là kết quả. Nói một cách đơn giản OSA chính là ODA nhưng chỉ được dùng cho lĩnh vực an ninh và quân sự. Quá trình này rất mất thời gian bởi vì Nhật Bản sẽ phải thiết lập quy trình khảo sát nhu cầu của bên nhận, đối chiếu nhu cầu đó với pháp luật nội bộ của Nhật, mà chúng ta biết là pháp luật của Nhật về mặt này rất khắt khe. Và nó yêu cầu cả bên cho - ở đây là Nhật - và cả bên nhận - là các quốc gia khác - phải thảo luận rất lâu và rất kỹ để có thể đưa ra được một danh sách tiếp nhận các loại hỗ trợ cho phù hợp. Đọc thêmNhật Bản và Việt Nam tăng cường hợp tác an ninh, ủng hộ thương mại tự do Danh sách các quốc gia được hỗ trợ và có tiềm năng nhận được hỗ trợ OSA từ Nhật Bản vào thời điểm hiện tại chỉ tầm 12 nước, chủ yếu là các nước ở Ấn Độ Dương, Thái Bình Dương, trong đó có 5 nước Đông Nam Á (Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Việt Nam và Thái Lan). Nam Á có hai nước là Bangladesh với Sri Lanka. Ngoài ra còn một số quốc đảo Thái Bình Dương, ví dụ Papua New Guinea, Tonga. Có thể thấy rõ là có Đông Nam Á, khu vực cốt lõi trong chiến lược Ấn Độ-Thái Bình Dương của Nhật Bản, và đặc biệt là khu vực các quốc đảo Nam Thái Bình Dương hiện đang là khu vực cạnh tranh địa lý khá gay gắt giữa các quốc gia đồng minh của Mỹ và Trung Quốc. Gần đây, Tokyo tăng ngân sách dành cho OSA trong năm tài khóa 2026 lên tầm 112 triệu đô la. Số lượng sẽ không lớn đứng dưới góc độ về mặt ngân sách. Nhưng trong tương lai, ngân sách mà Nhật dành cho OSA sẽ ngày càng tăng và sẽ dựa vào khả năng nước Nhật thích ứng với sự thay đổi không ngừng của môi trường an ninh bên ngoài, cũng như trong chính sách đối nội của Nhật Bản, đặc biệt là việc Nhật điều chỉnh ba nguyên tắc hỗ trợ vũ khí và công nghệ quốc phòng. Trong tương lai, số lượng nước được nhận sẽ tăng lên, cũng như nội dung của OSA cũng sẽ được mở rộng hơn. RFI : Với chiến lược quốc phòng mới của Tokyo mở ra việc bán vũ khí sát thương, liệu trong tương lai, có thể có một chương trình hợp tác sâu rộng hơn về lĩnh vực này giữa Việt Nam và Nhật Bản ? Nguyễn Thế Phương : Nhiều người kỳ vọng rằng hợp tác giữa Việt Nam và Nhật Bản trong tương về chuyển giao trang thiết bị cũng như là hỗ trợ OSA của Nhật Bản đối với Việt Nam sẽ được mở rộng. Tuy nhiên như đã trình bày, quá trình này sẽ không nhanh. Thứ nhất một phần cũng bởi vì phía Nhật Bản, như đã nói, họ sẽ rất kỹ trong vấn đề lựa chọn chuyển giao, tính minh bạch ra sao. Đọc thêmNhật Bản và Việt Nam nâng cấp quan hệ lên thành đối tác chiến lược toàn diện Thứ hai, nhu cầu của Việt Nam ở đây là gì ? Nhu cầu Việt Nam vẫn sẽ có. Nhưng theo tôi, trong tương lai gần, khoảng 5 năm, hợp tác quốc phòng giữa Việt Nam và Nhật Bản cũng sẽ chủ yếu xoay quanh nội dung về an ninh hàng hải, hỗ trợ các loại tàu cảnh sát biển, hỗ trợ Việt Nam đóng một số loại tàu cho cảnh sát biển hoặc là cho kiểm ngư ở trong nước, nhận một số loại trang thiết bị liên quan tới bảo đảm an ninh hàng hải, cũng như là nhận thức hàng hải ở khu vực, hỗ trợ liên quan tới vệ tinh chẳng hạn và tiếp tục huấn luyện. Còn những vũ khí tác chiến, theo tôi, sẽ phải là tương lai xa, cho tới khi nào Nhật Bản hoàn toàn dỡ bỏ những hạn chế về mặt xuất khẩu vũ khí tiến công và cho tới khi nào ngành công nghiệp quốc phòng của Nhật Bản trở nên cạnh tranh hơn, thì khi đó Việt Nam mới bắt đầu xem xét có hay không lựa chọn các loại vũ khí tác chiến của Nhật Bản như là một lựa chọn trong quá trình hiện đại hóa quân đội. Còn ở thời điểm hiện tại, khả năng đó rất là thấp. RFI Tiếng Việt xin chân thành cảm ơn anh Nguyễn Thế Phương, Đại học New South Wales, Úc.

Rural news and events from New South Wales and the nation.

What happens when three experienced investigators from opposite sides of the world sit down to examine how police respond to an active shooter? In this special crossover between Stop the Killing and Watching Two Detectives, former FBI Special Agent Katherine Schweit joins retired New South Wales detectives Peter Hogan and Scott Rogan for an expert examination of the lessons that have reshaped mass-shooting prevention, preparation and police response. Katherine was working on national security and counterterrorism cases when the murder of 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School changed the direction of her career. Following the shooting, she was appointed to the White House team tasked with developing a coordinated national response to mass shootings and became the architect of the FBI's Active Shooter Program. In Part One, Katherine explains how the devastating events at Sandy Hook helped accelerate a fundamental change in policing: moving away from the traditional strategy of “contain, negotiate and wait” towards the immediate deployment of officers to confront and stop an active threat. Peter and Scott reveal how those lessons travelled across the world and influenced Australian policing. They discuss the introduction of New South Wales Police's Active Armed Offender training, the impact of the 2014 Lindt Café siege and the confronting reality of preparing ordinary frontline officers to run towards attackers armed with military-style weapons. Together, they explore: Why active-shooter incidents can be over within minutes The extraordinary risks faced by the first officers entering the scene Why an active shooter and a mass shooting are not always the same thing Why workplaces—not schools—account for many active-shooter attacks in the United States The challenges of negotiating with attackers driven by extremist or ideological motives Why warning signs must be recognised and reported before violence begins How information shared by one student helped prevent a planned school shooting Why measuring the attacks that never happened is so important Katherine also shares the remarkable story of the message that reminded her why Stop the Killing must continue: a school vice principal who credited the podcast with helping her team recognise the warning signs and prevent a planned attack. This conversation lays the groundwork for the next part of the series, when Katherine, Peter and Scott turn their attention to the December 14, 2025 Bondi Beach terrorist attack, examining the actions of the attackers, civilians and responding officers through their combined FBI and Australian policing experience. The attack targeted a Hanukkah celebration and killed 15 people.  This is not simply a conversation about what happened. It is a conversation about what has been learned, what has changed—and what still needs to change to stop the next attack. Listen now to Part One of this special multi-part crossover.

This week its all about hobbies! Tessa joins her mom for a bell-ringing class, and Mike shows us just how collecting honey can be about a lot more than having a sweet tooth. The bells by Tessa Crozier “And you don't pull the rope hard; you pull it gently, but firmly, and get a feel for when it's about to leave on its journey around the frame” As the years pass, our parents might get more time to take on new hobbies. You know - gardening, mahjong, reformer pilates, ceramics. When Tessa’s mum retired, she got really into…bellringing. Tessa takes us up into the bell tower.
