Podcasts about Nicaragua

In the 1820s, American entrepreneurs, engineers, and politicians dared to dream big. They believed they could cut a canal, not through Panama, but through the wild, rain-soaked terrain of Nicaragua. Their goal: To link the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and transform global trade forever. But what inspired these ambitious "canal dreamers?” And why did they believe Nicaragua held the key to controlling the future of commerce?  Jessica Lepler, Associate Professor of History at the University of New Hampshire and author of Canal Dreamers: The Epic Quest to Connect the Atlantic and Pacific in the Age of Revolutions, joins us to explore this nearly forgotten story of innovation, illusion, and international ambition in early American history.

En 1988, en plena guerra civil, se vio obligado a abandonar su país. Desde entonces, encontró en una parroquia de Iowa un lugar donde acompaña al ministerio hispano y donde hoy levanta su voz en favor del pueblo nicaragüense.

Eugene Hasenfus died this week. He had been part of a covert operation to supply weapons to the anti-Sandinista group known as the "contras." As part of this activity, he was in an airplane shot down over Nicaragua while doing an arms delivery. His capture exposed a massive scheme by the U.S. government to sell arms to Iran in exchange for freeing U.S. hostages taken by pro-Iranian militias in Beirut and use the money to fund the contras war against the Sandinista government in Nicaragua. It became known as the "Iran-contra" affair, or "Iran-contraGate." It reached the highest levels in the U.S. government. And led to a number of convictions (and, later, presidential pardons.)In our latest, we look into the history of Reagan's wars in Central America, the Iran-contra scandal and subversion as foreign policy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

In the 1980s, the United States wreaked havoc in Central America. Backing authoritarian dictatorships. Fueling massacres and violence. Funding, training, and organizing the Contras, a paramilitary organization created to overthrow the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua. The US government was spending billions on its interventionist policies across Central America in the name of fighting so-called communism.But people pushed back across Central America. And they also responded in the United States. Hundreds of thousands of people marched in the streets against US intervention in the region. It was the Central American solidarity movement. BIG NEWS!

Two closely watched surveys of U.S. manufacturing activity painted sharply divergent pictures in November, with one showing continued expansion and the other reporting accelerating contraction, highlighting deep uncertainty about the sector's health amid ongoing adjustment to the new rules of global trade. The S&P Global U.S. Manufacturing PMI registered 52.2 in November, marking the fourth consecutive month above the 50 threshold that separates expansion from contraction. However, the reading slipped from 52.5 in October. By contrast, the ISM Manufacturing PMI fell to 48.2, down from 48.7 in October and marking the ninth consecutive month of contraction. The divergence places the two surveys on opposite sides of the expansion-contraction divide, an unusual occurrence that suggests significantly different conditions across the manufacturing landscape.  https://twitter.com/ShadowofEzra/status/1995904464625000594?s=20   the national debt.

Honduras and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, once reliable partners for Caracas, have both elected new governments that pledged to distance themselves from Maduro.  Honduras   Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Bolivia have also deteriorated as those countries shifted to the right. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, both U.S. territories, have seen a renewed military buildup, with fighter jets and transport aircraft operating from Cold War-era facilities such as Roosevelt Roads and new activity at St. Croix's airport. Grenada is considering a U.S. request to host temporary radar equipment and personnel at Maurice Bishop International Airport. The government is still weighing technical and safety concerns, and the decision is complicated by the 1983 U.S. invasion and the airport's symbolic significance. Colombia remains the strongest partner, working closely with the United States on counter-narcotics, sanctions enforcement, and intelligence sharing, while also coordinating policy on the region's largest population of Venezuelan refugees. Paraguay and Uruguay consistently vote with Washington at the OAS to isolate Maduro and support democratic transition efforts. Ecuador works with the United States on organized crime, Venezuelan gang activity, and sanctions evasion, and has been publicly critical of the regime.  Maduro's remaining allies in the region are Cuba and Nicaragua, but neither is positioned to provide meaningful assistance.

Miguel is joined by a returning guest, journalist Abraham Marquez. In this episode, we discuss ICE and the 2025 World Series champion Dodgers. Throughout the 2025 baseball season, Dodgers Chairman Mark Walter and Guggenheim Baseball Management have made headlines by first having the Dodgers team visit the Trump White House in April 2025 to honor the 2024 championship team. Additionally, the Dodgers were accused in June 2025 of allowing ICE to stage operations inside their parking lots, and most recently, in November 2025, ICE once again staged at a parking lot near Dodger Stadium the day after the 2025 Dodgers championship parade. Lastly, Guggenheim has investments in GEO Group and Palantir Technologies. We do our best to talk about it all, including the contradictions of Dodger fandom and the fallacy of ethical consumption under capitalism. Abraham Marquez is a freelance writer from Inglewood, California, and a National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) member.

Este sábado Donald Trump anunció en Truth Social que el espacio aéreo "sobre y alrededor de Venezuela" debe considerarse "cerrado en su totalidad". El mensaje iba dirigido a aerolíneas, pilotos, narcotraficantes y traficantes de personas. Se trata de una declaración unilateral, sin autoridad legal directa sobre el espacio aéreo soberano venezolano, pero pone más presión sobre Nicolás Maduro e invita a pensar que quizá esté preparándose para atacar el país. El anuncio surtió efectos inmediatos ya que varias aerolíneas internacionales suspendieron sus vuelos a Venezuela, pero no las estadounidenses, que no operan en aquel país desde hace seis años. Para el gobierno de Maduro se trata de una intolerable amenaza colonialista, pero los nervios le están devorando por dentro. Alterna desde hace días súplicas de paz con llamados a la "resistencia contra el invasor imperialista", para lo cual ha movilizado al ejército bolivariano. El despliegue naval en el Caribe es ya de grandes dimensiones y, aunque el Gobierno estadounidense lo justifica en la lucha contra el narcotráfico, todos sabemos que su intención es derrocar a Maduro, de quien Trump ha dichoque sus días están contados. Ha llegado, además, muy lejos por lo que la apuesta puede salirle muy cara si el chavismo sale, una vez más, bien librado de esta crisis. El hecho es que el fin de Maduro sería una excelente noticia para Venezuela, para América y para todo el mundo. A los venezolanos el chavismo no les traído más que miseria, represión y exilio. En América y otras partes del mundo ha sido un agente desestabilizador ya que ha empleado la otrora cuantiosa renta petrolera venezolana en comprar voluntades y exportar su régimen. Tendría, además, una ventaja añadida. Sin el chavismo sus dos principales socios en América, Cuba y Nicaragua, tendrían una supervivencia mucho más complicada. Pero la Venezuela bolivariana tiene más aliados, algunos poderosos como Rusia o China. Es una incógnita cómo reaccionarían estas dos potencias si Estados Unidos decide ir a por todas. Hasta ahora no se han entrometido más allá de vagos mensajes de apoyo. Rusia no está en su mejor momento. La guerra en Ucrania consume muchos recursos y no pueden meterse en un conflicto a 10.000 kilómetros de distancia. China, por su parte, importa petróleo de Venezuela, pero podría seguir haciéndolo con otro Gobierno. El Gobierno chavista les debe mucho dinero y su prioridad es recuperarlo. En definitiva, Trump ha echado sobre la mesa un farol naval para forzar el exilio de Maduro, pero, si éste lo ignora y se aferra al cargo, EEUU podría verse obligado a actuar. Una victoria rápida devolvería la democracia a Venezuela y daría a Trump mucha credibilidad. Si fracasa el chavismo se rearmaría moralmente y se tornaría aún más peligroso. El viento sopla en contra de Maduro y él lo sabe. Está solo y sin tener muy claro cuanto apoyo interno podrá aglutinar.

Menaces, pressions, interventions : Donald Trump et sa garde rapprochée font feu de tout bois depuis ces dernières semaines sur le continent sud-américain. « L'implication active des États-Unis dans la politique latino-américaine n'est pas nouvelle, note Le Temps à Genève. Depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Washington est notamment intervenu au Guatemala, au Brésil, au Chili et au Nicaragua. À chaque fois pour y soutenir des mouvements d'extrême droite face à l'émergence de politiciens “communistes“ considérés comme contraires aux intérêts américains. » Et « les méthodes d'antan semblent bel et bien de retour, à savoir la carotte et le bâton, s'exclame le quotidien suisse. En octobre, Donald Trump prévenait les Argentins. Si le parti de Javier Milei l'emportait, les Américains soutiendraient Buenos Aires à coups de milliards. Dans le cas contraire, la manne ne tomberait pas. La stratégie est similaire au Honduras. » En effet, pointe Le Monde à Paris, « les élections générales organisées au Honduras, dimanche, ont ainsi été l'occasion d'un nouveau chantage. Le président des États-Unis ne s'est pas contenté d'appeler à voter pour le candidat représentant la droite dans ce petit pays qui compte parmi les plus violents de la région et qui est gangrené par le trafic de drogue et le crime organisé. Il a également laissé entendre qu'il mettrait fin à l'aide américaine en cas de défaite de ce dernier. » L'inquiétude du Congrès Et ça n'est pas tout, s'exclame Le Monde : « tout en insultant régulièrement le président de la Colombie, Gustavo Petro, classé à gauche, Donald Trump a également accentué sa pression sur le Venezuela en annonçant unilatéralement, samedi dernier, qu'il considérait l'espace aérien vénézuélien comme “entièrement fermé“. Cet avis de création d'une zone d'exclusion aérienne, en toute illégalité internationale, s'ajoute au déploiement de la plus importante armada dans la mer des Caraïbes depuis la crise des missiles à Cuba, en 1962. Alors que l'armée américaine multiplie les exécutions extrajudiciaires en ciblant des bateaux présentés comme utilisés par des cartels de la drogue, sans jamais en apporter la moindre preuve, cet activisme guerrier suscite une inquiétude grandissante au Congrès, y compris parmi certains élus républicains. » En effet le Washington Post le révélait il y a quelques jours : le secrétaire à la Défense, Pete Hegseth, avait ordonné de ne pas faire de quartier en septembre dernier lors de la première intervention armée contre un navire transportant de la drogue au large du Venezuela. « Tuez-les tous ! », avait-il ordonné. Une révélation, pointe le Post, qui semble « ébranler la complaisance de plusieurs républicains du Congrès qui, jusqu'ici, s'étaient tus à propos de ces attaques. Les présidents des commissions des forces armées du Sénat et de la Chambre des représentants ont promis des enquêtes. » Une grâce qui interroge Certes, poursuit le journal, « l'administration Trump insiste sur la nécessité de ces frappes pour endiguer le trafic de drogue vers les États-Unis. Mais si tel était le véritable objectif, Trump n'aurait pas annoncé vendredi dernier son intention de gracier l'ancien président hondurien Juan Orlando Hernández, condamné l'an dernier (aux États-Unis) à 45 ans de prison pour avoir contribué à l'importation d'au moins 400 tonnes de cocaïne dans le pays. Peut-être Trump pense-t-il pouvoir négocier avec les barons de la drogue, mais pas avec leurs passeurs. Quoi qu'il en soit, affirme encore le Washington Post, il doit agir dans le cadre de la loi. Bravo au Congrès de s'être enfin saisi de cette affaire. » Incohérences Commentaire du Monde : « Donald Trump ne duplique pas seulement en Amérique latine la virulence et les menaces dont il use à profusion à l'intérieur des frontières américaines envers ses adversaires politiques. Il y multiplie également les incohérences, qui rendent difficilement lisibles ses orientations politiques. » Enfin, on revient au bras-de-fer entre les États-Unis et le Venezuela avec cette analyse plutôt pessimiste de Libération à Paris. Libération pour qui « derrière les menaces de Trump, se profile le spectre d'une guerre ouverte. (…) L'armada américaine, l'espace aérien verrouillé, la menace d'opérations terrestres et l'échec des négociations font désormais planer l'ombre d'une confrontation dont personne, aujourd'hui, affirme le quotidien français, ne peut prédire l'issue. »

Episode Summary: This episode is powered by The 7 Figure Shift Workshop “Radical honesty is the bridge between the body you have and the life you crave.” – Maraya Brown Can we be honest?! There is an often-overlooked link between hormone balance and a woman's ability to lead, speak and be seen at scale. And because it's been overlooked, we are definitely not taking it into consideration as women leveraging & scaling business empires.  That stops TODAY. If you're scaling to seven figures while secretly ignoring the signs your body is whispering (or screaming), this episode is your wake-up call. Legacy-led leadership doesn't come from burnout; it's built from balance. In this intimate and disruptive conversation, Dr. Darnyelle sits down with Maraya Brown—Yale-trained CNM, women's health expert, and powerhouse CEO—to unpack the truth about what it really takes to sustain your brilliance without sacrificing your body. We're talking hormones, perimenopause, adrenal fatigue, libido, nervous system regulation, and the untold cost of hustling while hormonally depleted. You'll finally understand how your body, brain, and bank account are inextricably linked—and why optimizing your internal ecosystem is your next million-dollar move. Whether you're in the boardroom, the bedroom, or the bleeding edge of burnout, this is the episode that will change the way you do business—because if your health is on the back burner, so is your impact. This is your invitation to ditch the myth that scaling a business means sacrificing your body. If you've been running on caffeine, willpower, and survival mode, it's time to reclaim the vitality that fuels true overflow. Hit play to discover why the real ROI comes when your hormones, heart, and hustle are finally aligned. Here's the truth: A dysregulated nervous system, depleted hormones, and unresolved trauma will cap your capacity faster than any business bottleneck. Most seven-figure CEOs aren't underperforming—they're over-extended and under-resourced internally. Your strategy isn't broken—your system is screaming. Real overflow starts in your body. You'll walk away with a powerful framework to reconnect with your physical body as a portal to profit, new language for understanding what your burnout and libido are really trying to tell you and a reset button for how you show up in your business and your relationships. Get your Move to Millions Podcast notebook ready—you'll want to take notes on the lessons packed into this incredible conversation!  Listen in to discover: ✔ How to identify hormonal imbalances that are silently sabotaging your business success ✔ Why regulating your nervous system is the ultimate secret to scaling with sustainability ✔ 3 non-negotiables every 7-figure woman must prioritize to access overflow, pleasure, and profit ✔ And so much more This episode is a call to stop gaslighting your own body in the name of ambition. It's time to shift the paradigm: from success that depletes to success that sustains. In a market that glorifies hustle and downplays healing, this episode challenges the high-achieving woman to get radically honest about what she's carrying—physically, emotionally, and hormonally—and how it's affecting her ability to lead, love, and live fully. Maraya Brown delivers insights that will shift your physiology and your profitability. Powerful Quotes from The Episode: “Radical honesty is the bridge between the body you have and the life you crave.” – Maraya Brown “Your body doesn't lie—but you've learned to ignore her.” – Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “We cannot grow sustainably in our business if we're silently eroding in our body.” – Maraya Brown “Overflow is not just about money; it's about hormones, health, and harmony.” – Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “Most women think their exhaustion is normal; but it's not your normal, it's your nervous system in distress.” – Maraya Brown Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: Where in my life am I pretending I feel fine when I'm actually depleted? What story am I telling myself about needing to “push through” that no longer serves me? How might honoring my body create more income than any launch or sales strategy? When was the last time I felt deep, sustainable energy and vitality? What would radically honest self-care actually look like in this season?

Si bien es cierto que en un año y dos meses de gestión aún es difícil hablar del México de Sheinbaum, sin embargo hay gestión de gobierno suficiente para hablar del México de Morena, especialmente en materia de política exterior. Claudia Sheinbaum, la primera mujer en llegar a la presidencia de México, se ha mostrado como heredera política de la particular presencia internacional de la Cuarta Transformación con la que se conduce el país en la región y en el mundo.Desde el primer día, Sheinbaum ha mantenido como prioridad para su cancillería, la relación estratégica con los EEUU signada por los temas migratorios y de seguridad, mientras que por otra parte, una relación con la región en rediseño constante, contingente y en ocasiones poco comprometida ante las grandes tensiones geopolítica de nuestro tiempo. En buena medida ha hecho lo necesario para proyectar continuidad en principios de su antecesor Andrés Manuel López Obrador, como el discurso soberanista, la no intervención en asuntos externos en especial con las dictaduras de Cuba, Venezuela y Nicaragua, así como su sostenida ausencia en foros internacionales importantes.Esta particular diplomacia mexicana ha buscado un difícil equilibrio entre pragmatismo y principios. Por un lado, intenta reposicionar a México como un actor confiable sobre energías limpias, transición energética y cambio climático, sin embargo en otros tópicos como la cooperación internacional contra el crimen organizado, o la propia cooperación comercial con la región, Sheinbaum ha condicionado su visión internacional al compromiso ideológico.Para examinar este perfil internacional, nos acompañó Fernando Barrientos. Doctor en Ciencia Política por la Universidad de Florencia y profesor en la Universidad de Guanajuato. Con su respaldo examinaremos la dinámica política interna mexicana y su proyección internacional. ¿En qué áreas Sheinbaum está intentando proyectar liderazgo político propio y con qué resultados? Y, en especial ¿qué significa para la región el mundo el México de Sheinbaum? AnalistasManuel Alcántara SáezMaría Puerta RieraInvitado:Fernando BarrientosEdición y Conducción:Xavier Rodríguez Franco

How can you not love real estate when you're surrounded by the beauty of Italy and Mexico? But leading and building a successful real estate career in another country is not always as easy or glamorous as it might look. That is exactly why I invited three incredible women to join me in this episode. They open up about the realities of working abroad, the challenges they've overcome, and the lessons they've learned along the way. Meet the Leaders Dr. Marina Rizzotto Yakovleva: Founder and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Palazzo Estate in Italy Email: marina.rizzotto@bhhspalazzoestate.com Michelle Wilhelm: Owner and COO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Baja Real Estate in Mexico Email: michelle@bhhsbaja.com Carmen Chong: CEO of the Global Real Estate Alliance at AREAA Global Email: carmen@cclegacyfn.com Personal Journeys Into Real Estate (00:02:25 to 00:11:13) Dr. Yakovleva talks about falling in love with Italian culture and architecture and how that passion helped her build a luxury brand in Italy. Michelle shares how she moved from Canada to Baja, Mexico, started a brokerage after COVID, and made transparency the heart of her business. Carmen tells her powerful story of resilience, leaving Nicaragua, adapting to a new life, and eventually stepping into her role as the leader of AREAA Global. Navigating Cross-Border Leadership (00:20:36 to 00:24:43) Michelle highlights the importance of thinking globally and staying aware of emerging trends. Dr. Marina talks about leading with curiosity, respect, and genuine relationship-building when working across different cultures. Courage, Pivots, and Professional Growth (00:25:35 to 00:37:38) Dr. Marina and Michelle share the challenges of moving to new countries and launching fresh ventures. Carmen opens up about stepping confidently into leadership, including her decision to establish AREAA Global as a separate business entity. Setbacks, Resilience, and Secrets to Success (00:40:00 to 00:54:27) The panel gets honest about the setbacks they faced along the way. They talk about how they pushed through difficult seasons and the habits that keep them grounded, like going for walks, enjoying simple coffee chats, counting their blessings, and staying close to family. Inspirational Thoughts (00:55:00 – 00:58:30) Dr. Marina Rizzotto Yakovleva Books/Podcasts: How I Built This by Guy Raz – Marina calls this "absolutely classic" with fascinating conversations featuring founders behind brands like Airbnb, Spanx, and Patagonia. Diary of a CEO – Another favorite podcast she enjoys listening to. Uplifting Message: To women who dream big but feel intimidated, Marina says: "Don't wait until you feel ready, just start. Don't be afraid to fail a little along your way because every mistake teaches you something new." Carmen Chong Uplifting Quote: "Pay it forward. There must be something you know that can help someone else. Be bigger than yourself and share what you've learned." Michelle Wilhelm Uplifting Quote: Michelle shares a fun and motivating reminder: "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." When you help another woman rise, we all shine. And that's how we make an impact. So, let's build each other up and shine brighter than the sun.

This episode is brought to you by Villa Carina Apartments in beautiful Bonaire. In this episode, we catch up with Tom Hartmann – tour manager of the GKA Kite World Tour, Wingfoil World Tour, and founder of the brand-new Surf Foil World Tour (SFT) – fresh from the biggest water sports spectacle the Middle East has ever seen in Abu Dhabi and now chasing the final Kite World Tour stops in Brazil.Tom takes us behind the scenes of the massive nine-day Abu Dhabi event on the soon-to-be “Miami Beach of the Gulf” (Fahid Island), where kite big air, wingfoil racing, e-foil, and wakefoil all shared the spotlight, 2,500+ spectators showed up on weekends, and the whole thing was broadcast live on TV across the region. With €10,000 prize money per SFT discipline, perfect glassy morning conditions, and a level of organization that left athletes speechless, this was the perfect season finale for the inaugural Surf Foil World Tour.- Abu Dhabi deep dive – why foiling (e-foil, wakefoil, wing, kite, surf, pump) is exploding in the Gulf and how the event showcased every flavor of the sport.- E-foil racing at the highest level yet – Justin Chait remains undefeated in 2025, Agnes takes the women's division, and we talk 3G corners, wingtip-out carving, and why technical skill still beats raw speed.- Wakefoil's breakout moment – first fully independent SFT wakefoil comp, drone + boat broadcasting magic, and why wakefoiling could be the most spectator-friendly foiling discipline out there.- The massive growth nobody saw coming – from a hopeful start to nine events worldwide in year one, with a 2026 calendar dropping in the next couple weeks.- What's next for SFT in 2026 – more surf foil, downwind, wakefoil, the return of the epic indoor Düsseldorf pump & wing event, and a brand-new Foil Assist discipline that mixes propulsion take-offs with pure pumping sections.- Plus Tom's love for açaí bowls at Brazilian sunset and maybe sneaking in some surf trips to Nicaragua or Costa Rica before heading home.Year one of the Surf Foil World Tour is officially in the books and it's safe to say foiling just went global – big budgets, big crowds, and bigger stoke. Here's to 2026 being even wilder.Follow the Surf Foil Tour → https://www.surffoiltour.com

Cuba and Nicaragua have ranked among the world's most repressive governments toward religious freedom for years. In 2025, exiles and civil society organizations reported continuing severe restrictions on religious communities, including the banning of religious processions, surveillance and harassment of clergy, and legal constriction of religious groups. In some regards, the level of repression is escalating, considering indicators such as the re-imprisonment in June of a freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) victim previously released in January and the deaths of two religious freedom defenders in Nicaraguan custody in August. USCIRF has designated both nations as Countries of Particular Concern since its 2023 Annual Report. On this episode of the USCIRF Spotlight Podcast, Commissioner Maureen Ferguson speaks with Anna Lee Stangl, joint Director of Advocacy and Latin America team leader at Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), about the violations facing religious communities in Cuba and Nicaragua. Read USCIRF's 2025 Annual Report Chapters on Cuba and Nicaragua.

Haití disputará el Mundial de Fútbol 2026. Será el segundo Mundial en la historia de ese país, tras el de Alemania 1974. La dicha invadió las calles de Puerto Príncipe hasta altas horas de la madrugada, un momento raro de comunión en medio de una grave situación de violencia que coincidió con una fecha histórica. Un informe de Ubaldo Bravo. Haití tuvo que jugar su último partido en la isla vecina de Curazao. La selección haitiana logró el pase tras derrotar a Nicaragua por 2-0. El Mundial de Fútbol 2026 se disputará en tres países: México, Estados Unidos y Canadá. Desde la isla caribeña, Charilien Jeanvil, cronista deportivo, comentó así para RFI esta clasificación histórica de la selección haitiana de fútbol: "Estamos de fiesta. Este pase al Mundial de Fútbol 2026 tras ganarle a Nicaragua es una hazaña para la selección de fútbol de Haití. Hace unos 50 años que no participábamos en la Copa del Mundo de Fútbol. Además, la clasificación coincidió con una fecha histórica para los haitianos: el 18 de noviembre. Ese día es el aniversario de la batalla de Vertières, una fecha importantísima en la historia de Haití”. Un episodio que, según el politólogo Joseph Harold Pierre, demuestra el poder que tiene la historia para mover voluntades: "El 18 de noviembre de 1803 Haití le ganó una batalla a Francia. Es lo que llamamos la batalla de Vertières. Yo creo que el entrenador lo primero que tuvo que decirles a los jugadores es que un 18 de noviembre cualquier cosa puede pasar en Haití, salvo una: perder una batalla, cualquiera que sea. Esto explica también la determinación del pueblo haitiano de echar para adelante". En medio de una grave situación de inseguridad y violencia que, solamente en este 2025, ha causado el desplazamiento de al menos 1,4 millones de personas, Charilien Jeanvil no perdió la oportunidad de festejar: "Es una gran lección para Haití"  "Hace tiempo no vivíamos una fiesta así en Haití. Estamos en una situación en la que no podemos vivir en paz. Aunque vivimos con miedo, la pasión no ha desaparecido, sobre todo por el fútbol. Desde hace tiempo nos niegan la oportunidad de participar en una Copa del Mundo. Para mí este es un sueño cumplido. Soy consciente de que todo esto contrasta con nuestra realidad, pero, aun así, es algo bueno. Nos trae tranquilidad". La victoria de Haití es un ejemplo también de que "los cambios son posibles cuando se trabaja en equipo", según el politólogo: "Sí, el equipo le dio una gran lección al gobierno y, sobre todo, a Haití en eso de trabajar la capacidad de hacer cosas juntos. El problema en Haití es la acción colectiva. No hay otra idea mejor para luchar contra eso que la idea de equipo. Y ayer tuvimos un equipo que ganó. En cambio, el Consejo Presidencial de la Transición fracasó por otras razones. Una de ellas es que sus miembros no han podido trabajar juntos". El primero y último Mundial de Fútbol que disputó Haití fue en 1974, en la entonces Alemania Occidental.

Dr James Loxton on how modern democracies can crumble as tyrannical leaders take hold, but also how freedom and democracy can rise again, from the Americas to Europe and into Asia.James grew up in stable Canada, where he spent his summers herding sheep in the middle of forest plantations.As a teenager, he hatched a plan to escape his "rough as guts" bush town and the life of a shepherd, moving to India on his own to finish high school.At an international school in Maharashtra, James' classmates taught him about the world outside of democratic Canada, and he became fascinated by military dictatorships and guerilla insurgencies. Later on, years of living in Latin America showed him firsthand how dictators operated, how they are feared and hated, but also revered and loved by some of the people they control.Now James, and many other political scientists, have their eyes turned to America, watching closely to see how the world's most powerful democracy is changing right before our eyes.Authoritarianism: A Very Short Introduction is published by Oxford University Press.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris, executive producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores Donald Trump, Putin, USA, regime, dictators, ICE, Clinton, Epstein, politics, democracy, Chilean presidential election, Russia, China, Taiwan, Philippines, government, globalisation, Latin American politics, Whitlam, dismissal, divisive politics, left versus right, parliamentary versus presidential forms of government, united kingdom, British colonies, Javier Milei, Venezuela, Argentina, Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, Hugo Chavez, Maduro, elitism, drain the swamp, populism, power for the people, tariffs, Peru, Cuba, straw man, Stalin, Hitler, competitive authoritarianism, substance abuse, addiction, alcoholism, alcoholic mothers, homelessness, losing a mother.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Retired FBI agent Pete Lapp helped capture Ana Montez, a Puerto Rican-born American and UVA alumna who was a senior analyst for the Defense Intelligence Agency overseeing the Cuban account. For 17 years, she was also a spy for Cuba and was an avowed communist. Ironically, as many of four of Anna's close family members worked for the FBI and despite Anna's more extreme political views, assumed she was a loyal American. From his book “Queen of Cuba,” Pete relates how Ana was identified as a potential national security risk, secretly investigated, and ultimately apprehended after years of committing espionage. He describes how she transmitted information and also shares his view of her psychology: Withdrawn, lonely, at odds with her father, and driven by her political convictions and personal disagreement with U.S. foreign policy (including its policy towards Nicaragua) rather than financial gain, by which so many other spies have been enticed.Recruited while in college in 1983 during the Reagan administration by Cuban agent Marta Velasquez, (who was also a Puerto Richan-American) Ana's steadfast career rise at the Department of Defense gave her increased access over time to information of value to Castro's Cuba, stopping short of putting agents in personal peril. Cuban intelligence has been chronically underestimated over decades and makes Ana's case a warning example of an organized program to infiltrate critical branches of the U.S. government, along with the recent apprehension of former U.S. Ambassador to Bolivia, Manuel Rocha, whose been identified as a Cuban spy.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

This episode traces the Marine Corps' transformation from the late 1800s into the modern force recognized today. It begins with the creation of Parris Island and the evolution of Marine training, from tents and marshland to a world-class recruit depot tested by war, tragedy, and reform. The story moves through Panama, where Marines became America's instrument of order, and into the age of steel ships and global ambition. It follows their battles in Cuba, the Philippines, and across Central America during the Banana Wars, where the Corps learned the lessons of small wars, air-ground coordination, and constabulary duty. Figures like Charles Heywood, John A. Lejeune, and Smedley Butler emerge as the architects of a professional, expeditionary force. By the time the last Marines left Nicaragua in 1933, the Corps had been reshaped, no longer a naval guard but a global instrument of American power, forged in hardship and defined by purpose.

Hace unas horas ha llegado a Nicaragua un buque hospital chino en una misión humanitaria. Una noticia que puede parecer anecdótica pero que sirve para poner de relieve cómo han ido mejorando las relaciones entre Mangua y Pekín. Hablamos con Paula Fernández, Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-americana (UNILA).Escuchar audio

Estos días, si todo transcurre sin problemas, se debería aprobar ese proyecto de ley para dotar de fondos nuevamente a la administración federal. El problema es que si se aprueba solo habría fondos hasta enero, y nadie sabe si podríamos volver a una situación parecida entonces. Hablamos con una trabajadora federal que nos contará como lleva semanas sin recibir su salario.Vamos a hablar de la polémica de la BBC por el documental de Donald Trump. Hoy, su director se ha dirigido a la plantilla para hablar de lo ocurrido. Estaremos en Israel donde se ha aprobado en primera lectura un proyecto de ley presentado que busca aplicar la pena de muerte a aquellos palestinos que maten a un ciudadano israelí por racismo u hostilidad. Luego se lo ampliamos. Además un atentado suicida en Islamabad ha sido reivindicado por los talibanes paquistaníes en un momento de enorme tensión con Afganistán. Estaremos allí. También les vamos a hablar de la relación de China con Nicaragua a raíz de la llegada de un buque hospital chino en una misión humanitaria, y del naufragio de un barco con decenas de personas de la etnia rohinya que se ven obligadas casi a diario a huir de Myanmar.Escuchar audio

En este episodio de Relatos de la Noche nos adentraremos en tres experiencias muy distintas entre sí, pero unidas por algo que siempre está presente en estas historias: lo que se mueve silencioso cuando nadie lo está esperando. Viajaremos hasta Nicaragua, donde el encuentro de un joven con una de las temidas “monas brujas” rompe por completo la frontera entre las leyendas y lo real. Una sombra agazapada, un silencio que pesa, y un techo que no debería sonar a esa hora de la noche. La segunda historia nos lleva a una habitación iluminada apenas por la luz de madrugada, donde una hija cansada descubre que tal vez su mamá no estaba tan sola como creía. Entre polvo, luz y figuras imposibles, entenderá que hay presencias que no vienen para asustar… sino para acompañar. Y finalmente, conoceremos el caso más inquietante del episodio: la historia de doña Elvia, una mujer cuya vida estuvo marcada por un deseo imposible… y por algo que siempre la acompañó desde las sombras. Testimonios, documentos, y un final que todavía sigue persiguiendo a quienes lo vivieron. Tres relatos distintos, tres formas de entender lo paranormal, y una sola invitación: apagar la luz, ponerse cómodo, y dejar que estas voces los acompañen esta noche. —

Reagan's Pragmatic Cold War Victory, Don Regan's Disastrous Tenure, and the Iran-Contra Near-Death Experience. Max Boot discusses how Ronald Reagan had no patience for communism, and in his first term, his policy toward the Soviet Union was somewhat unsuccessful, though it improved in 1985 with the ascension of Mikhail Gorbachev. Reagan's genius was recognizing that Gorbachev was a different communist leader he could "do business with," and they established a rapport that allowed them to constructively reduce nuclear armaments and peacefully end the Cold War. The transition into Reagan's second term saw a catastrophic personnel decision when Reagan allowed Jim Baker and Don Regan to swap jobs. Regan lacked political instincts and presided over problems that culminated in the Iran-Contra scandal. Reagan was highly exercised by American hostages seized by Hezbollah, and National Security Advisor Bud McFarlane suggested shipping weapons to supposed Iranian moderates in exchange for hostage releases, which was a fiasco. The scandal intensified when McFarlane's successor, John Poindexter, and Oliver North diverted the profits from the weapon sales to fund the anti-communist Contras in Nicaragua. This incident could have led to impeachment, but Reagan's salvation was his reputation for being hands-off and disengaged. Reagan also faced criticism over a human rights double standard, speaking eloquently about violations behind the Iron Curtain but being less exercised about apartheid in South Africa.
