Inside fireworks struck the ceiling - engulfing it in flames and prompting a stampede of about 1500 people trying to exit from the only door. More than 155 were injured. UK correspondent Gavin Grey says investigations are still ongoing - but arrests have been made. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shortly after confirming those two loan deals, RB Leipzig confirmed the surprise arrival of another player. French youth international Tidiam Gomis who has joined the Saxony club six months earlier than planned. Xavi Simons put pen to paper on a contract at RB Leipzig until 2027 with Leipzig set to pay a fee to Paris Saint-Germain of €50m plus bonuses; the bonuses in the deal could take the fee to over €80m. We managed to offload the transfer flop Eljif Elmas to Torino with a loan deal with an €18m purchase option as part of the deal which such a sum naturally doesn't offset the reported €24m RB Leipzig paid to acquire there North Macedonian international approximately one year ago but it's better than nothing.Justin recaps the 0-0 draw against Union Berlin in the Bundesliga where RB Leipzig got outplayed by a team sitting in 14th position in the topspiel time slot on the Saturday a game unworthy of the topspiel, we preview our upcoming Bundesliga fixture against FC St. Pauli with player watch, who's fit to play, who isn't and match-day predictions rounding out the show with the shows marquee RBL talk segment.In the RBL talk segment we have listener questions from starckertyp from

Chloe is co-director of Lighthouse Relief a small NGO set up 8 years ago in Greece to respond to the influx of more than 900,000 refugees arriving in Greece from Syria at that time. Chloe shares her experience and the changing nature of the challenges they face. Initially, Greece was a very welcoming country, as Greek citizens personally and collectively identified with their own histories of forced migration in the 1920s. However, the wars in the Middle East that led to the refugee crisis coincided with the collapse of the Greek economy during the financial crisis, impoverishing many many Greeks. Rightwing politicians exploited this vulnerability and gained a stronger foothold in Greek politics. Today refugees and asylum seekers are much more diverse coming from many different countries, and often arriving in desperate and vulnerable conditions. Chloe explains how their previous support strategies were being undermined through policy and law changes, such as restricting access for NGOs from entering refugee camps where they had been supporting children for the past 7 years, or preventing them from going onto beaches to support the rescue of asylum seekers in trouble at sea. Many organisations espouse being agile these days, and many could learn from small NGOs like Lighthouse Relief who pivot and adapt to the fast-changing conditions they have to work in. Chloe shares how the NGO teams support each other to do this work and Simon and Chloe end the podcast reflecting on the importance of what it means to have a home. This is an important and powerful podcast to begin 2024. Often we question if the money we give to charity goes directly to the people impacted and who need the support. Chloe's NGO is small but has a big impact on so many lives; please give to support Chloe and the Lighthouse Relief team doing their vital work. You can donate here: www.lighthouserelief.org/donate Bio: Chloe draws on her professional experiences in the arts, journalism, and at human rights organizations to run partnerships and advocacy for Lighthouse Relief. As Co-Director, she helps drive its strategic direction and navigate the changing humanitarian landscape. Previously, Chloe has written about art and cultural diplomacy for publications including The New York Times and served as United Nations correspondent for several media outlets, reporting through the lens of gender equality. Her engagement with refugees and the issues affecting them in Greece began while reporting from camps near the North Macedonian border in 2016. She holds a B.S. in Foreign Service from Georgetown University and a M.A. in International Affairs from Sciences Po, Paris.

Talking Europe hosts Bujar Osmani, the foreign minister of North Macedonia, which launched EU accession talks nearly a year ago – although it has been in the EU's waiting room for far longer than that. Currently a screening process of North Macedonia's legislation is under way, and Osmani urges the opening of talks with the EU on key topics. He warns that North Macedonian society has become wary of “making concessions while there are no deliverables”.
It's Wednesday, November 2nd, A.D. 2022. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Two imprisoned Iranian Christians released Praise God! Officials in Iran unexpectedly released two Christians last month from Evin Prison. It's known as the country's “torture factory.” Both Christians received pardons. One of the believers, Pastor Nasser Narvad Gol-Tapeh, had already served half of a ten-year sentence for attending a house church. A few days before the release, a fire broke out at the prison, killing four prisoners. None of the Christians at the prison were hurt. Please pray for the 10 Christians who remain in the infamous prison. The Lord said in Isaiah 43:1-2, “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you … When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.” Court: Scottish venue ordered to pay Billy Graham Assoc. $100,000 Last Monday, a Scottish court ruled an event venue must pay the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, headed by Franklin Graham, over $100,000 for canceling a crusade. Back in January 2020, Scottish Event Campus Limited canceled an event because of Franklin Graham's biblical views on marriage and sexuality. Graham welcomed the ruling, saying, “This case was … about the preservation of religious freedom in the U.K. — particularly the right for Christians to share the Gospel in the public square.” Mexican state recognizes faux homosexual marriage Last Wednesday, Mexico's northeastern border state of Tamaulipas voted to recognize faux homosexual marriage. The vote comes after three other states, Mexico, Sonora, and Sinaloa, made similar votes. Living in vile passions with someone of the same sex is now recognized across Mexico. The practice remains illegal or not recognized in Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela, most of Central America, and much of the Caribbean. Survey on “Christian nationalism” Pew Research released a new survey on so-called Christian nationalism. Sixty percent of U.S. adults think America's founders intended for the country to be a Christian nation, and 45% think America should be a Christian nation. Of those who think the U.S. should be a Christian nation, 30% said they don't even know what being a Christian nation means. Forty-eight percent defined a Christian nation as a country where people are generally guided by Christian values. Only 6% defined it as a country that bases its laws on Christianity. Isaiah 33:22 says, “The LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our Lawgiver, the LORD is our King; He will save us.” Elon Musk let Twitter fly free After months of back and forth, tech billionaire Elon Musk finalized a deal to buy Twitter last Friday. Musk stepped into the chief executive position and dissolved the company's board of directors. As of next week, Twitter will not be publicly traded. In an open letter, Musk accused traditional media of fueling political polarization. In contrast, Musk said he acquired Twitter to encourage a “common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner.” 10,000 babies spared from abortion since Dobbs case FiveThirtyEight reports over 10,000 fewer abortions took place in the months following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Overall, the number of abortions nationwide declined 6% between April and August. Some states experienced a near 100% decline in abortions, including Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas. U.S. Senate is up for grabs Also from FiveThirtyEight, control of the U.S. Senate is now in a dead heat between Republicans and Democrats in the midterm elections. Projections also give Republicans substantial odds of taking back the U.S. House of Representatives. In the governors' races, Democrats are expected to flip Massachusetts and Maryland while Republicans have a good chance of flipping Nevada, Wisconsin, and Oregon.

Eastern European Missions made the delivery to the former communist bloc country after delivering 650,000 Bibles to public schools in Croatia last year. The ministry started out in the 1960s, smuggling between hundreds and thousands of Bibles into the Soviet Union. Now, Eastern European Missions delivers 1.5 million Bibles in over 20 languages to over 30 countries in a year. Revelation 5:9 says of Christ, “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, November 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2022.

Bashar al-Assad has been President of Syria since 2000. His time in power has been overshadowed by a dreadful civil war that started in Syria in 2011 and is still ongoing. Bashar has attracted both the ire and the support of various international powers, with the Western alliance putting increasing pressure on regime to make concessions to the Opposition, but Vladimir Putin's Russia seeking to gain leverage in the Middle East by keeping Assad in place. In doing so, Putin was successful; Assad is still in power in Syria, though his regime is a shadow of its former self. You'll notice that this is one of two episodes I've put out this weekend, the other being on North Macedonian prime minister Nikola Gruevski. The reason I have decided to pair these episodes is because they show, in different ways and with different results, the consequences of the West neglecting people on the edges of their sphere on influence. Whilst this neglect has had visibly worse effects for Syria than for North Macedonia, there are clear similarities in the way the Western alliance looked at Syria in the first half of the last decade, and the way in which the EU is taking North Macedonia for fools, so please do listen to that one, too. My guest thinks it could have; he is Jihad Yazigi (@jihadyazigi), Editor in Chief of the Syria Report, and visiting fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.

Serbia's government revoked Rio Tinto's license for a lithium mine last month following weeks of protests that have shaken Serbia's ruling party in the lead-up to elections. But a week after the decision, hundreds of protesters were out on the streets again, demanding parliament adopt a 20-year-long moratorium on lithium mining. And now, the government is worried Rio Tinto could sue the state. Aksel Zaimovic reports from Serbia. Plus, new prime ministers in Bulgaria and North Macedonia seem keen to improve the strained relations between their two countries. Bulgarian PM Kiril Petkov met his North Macedonian counterpart Dimitar Kovacevski in Sofia in a sign of thawing ties. Bulgaria's previous government had blocked North Macedonia's bid to open accession talks with the European Union over a historical and language dispute. Across The Balkans, hosted by Nafisa Latic, is TRT World's programme that focuses specifically on the issues and fault lines shaping Southeast Europe today.

*) Ethiopia PM Abiy Ahmed vows to lead army 'from the battlefront' The Ethiopian prime minister Abiy Ahmed has announced he will lead his army from the battlefront against advancing rebel forces, in a statement on social media. His remarks come as rival Tigray forces close in on the capital Addis Ababa, prompting the government to declare a state of emergency earlier this month. Thousands of people have already been killed in the war between government forces, and fighters from the northern Tigray region. *) Several killed in bus crash in Bulgaria At least 45 people have been killed in western Bulgaria when a bus with North Macedonian plates caught fire on a highway, officials said. There were children among the victims, and seven people with burns were rushed to hospital in the capital Sofia, local news reported. The cause of the accident has yet to be determined. *) Wisconsin driver to face homicide charges for Christmas parade deaths The driver of the car that ploughed into a Christmas parade in the US state of Wisconsin will be charged with multiple counts of intentional homicide. Five people were killed and 48 injured when the suspect drove an SUV into the crowd in Waukesha. Police say he had left the scene of a domestic dispute minutes before, and that there is no evidence the incident was a terrorist attack. *) Belarusian president calls for European powers to work with Minsk Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko says he does not want confrontation with Poland, but he says if the situation at the border remains the same, war will be “unavoidable.” Lukashenko has called on European leaders to work with Minsk to solve the migrant crisis. He proposed Germany take in two thousand migrants, and that the remaining five thousand be repatriated - a request Berlin has rejected. Poland and its Western allies have accused Minsk of instigating the crisis. And finally… *) Kevin Spacey ordered to pay $31M for ‘House of Cards' losses Kevin Spacey and his production companies must pay the studio behind “House of Cards” more than $30 million because of losses brought on by his firing for sexual misconduct. A document filed in Los Angeles Superior Court requesting a judge's approval of the ruling says that arbitrators found that Spacey violated his contract's demands for professional behavior. MRC, the studio behind “House of Cards,” had to fire Spacey, halt production of the show's sixth season, rewrite it to remove Spacey's central character, and shorten it from 13 to eight episodes to meet deadlines. The 62-year-old Oscar winner's career came to an abrupt halt late in 2017 as the #MeToo movement gained momentum.
Zoran Zaev announced his resignation as North Macedonia's prime minister and leader of the ruling Social Democratic party after a landslide defeat in local elections late on Sunday. The move raises important questions about what lies ahead for North Macedonian politics, with the nationalist opposition, which is opposed to the Prespes agreement with Greece, calling for early elections. Tom Ellis, the Editor in Chief of Kathimerini English Edition, joins The Greek Current to discuss his recent op-ed, where he explains what Greece should look out for following the election results in North Macedonia and why it's important for the Greek government to project the message that it will uphold the Prespes Agreement in full.Read Tom Ellis' latest op-ed in Kathimerini: North Macedonia: Zaev's resignation, Greece's messageYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greece toughens restrictions on unvaccinated as cases spikeGreece reports record high daily COVID-19 infectionsGreece can make significant contribution to green transition, Mitsotakis tells COP26Greece's Mitsotakis Signals Climate Law Ready for Approval This Week

Our guest this week on the Mobility Standard podcast was Sam Bayat, founder of Bayat Legal Services, one of the Middle East's foremost investment migration firms. Sam has been active in the investment migration market since the very beginning and we took the opportunity to raise a number of questions best answered with the benefit of three decades of hindsight.Though he's been nearly three decades in the UAE, Sam's investment migration adventure began in Montreal. That's an origin he shares with many of his peers: Why is it that so many of those company founders who today are big names in the investment migration market all got their start in Montreal? In other words, why is Montreal, in particular, the birthplace of so many leading investment migration firms?Sam says he's concerned that the industry as a whole doesn't have adequate “representation or a more active think-tank to give our perspective on different issues.” But isn't that what the IMC is doing? Well, Sam has a different take on that and new ideas around what needs to change in investment migration industry associations for them to be truly effective, ideas on which he elaborated during the show. He also explained why he has decided not to join any industry associations for the moment.“We are more concerned with setting up seminars and talking among ourselves rather than talking to people who are not part of our industry. [...] If Henley and Arton would agree to work together to represent the interests of the industry, and if there were one entity, then I would be a member."Sam is closely involved in the promotion of North Macedonian citizenship by investment throughout the MENA region. Considering the conspicuous absence of any official mention of the program, we asked him whether we can be confident that there is a government-sanctioned EUR 200,000 citizenship by investment program in North Macedonia. Why is the government not saying anything?“We have received the first ten approvals, and two of them are my clients," Sam responds. "[…] The biggest problem the promoters of this program have is, basically, the government's attitude,” he adds, pointing out that the government has been hesitant to adopt best-practice recommendations from seasoned CBI advisors. “It's Eastern Europe, things are not moving fast and they are not really inclined to change.” Nonetheless, he says he believes that once we see the first several citizenships formally granted, the government of North Macedonia is likely to also become more proactive in their promotion of the program.Timestamps:02:37 - Why did it all start in Montreal?18:42 - Industry representation and the role of associations like the IMC37:03 - Updates on citizenship by investment in North Macedonia
Marko Arnautovic posted "I AM NOT A RACIST" online after his outburst against the ethnic Albanian players on the North Macedonian team landed him a one-game ban. Only a one-game ban for racism? UEFA has threatened more action against Cristiano Ronaldo for moving a bottle of Coke! This tournament has provided great football and controversy in equal measure, and here the boys go into why UEFA is hypocritical on issues of race, sponsorship, and corruption. It gets heated!

Next up in our group previews is Group C which includes Das Team, Das Great Flag, Das Legend and Das Bat Shit Crazy Manager. Austria, nicknamed Das Team, mean nothing to us. We mull over the controversy of the North Macedonian kits while raving about their national flag and a striker who has a club named after him! The Ukraine are back at a tournament after missing out on a place at the World Cup in 2018 and have former striker Andriy Shevchenko at the helm. Can they make it out of the group stage for the first time in their history? And then there is the Netherlands. Or Holland, if you prefer, which we don't. How Frank de Boer has landed the managers job after only lasting for 4 games as Crystal Palace boss, no one knows. And de Boer doesn't seem to know his squad either. But are they dark horse material? Charles says yes. Danny and Neil both scream NO!

A man who had previously tried to join the Islamic State group rampaged in Vienna armed with an automatic rifle and a fake explosive vest, fatally shooting four people before he was killed by police, Austrian authorities said Tuesday.Witnesses described dozens of screaming people fleeing the sounds of gunshots Monday night in a nightlife district crowded with revelers enjoying the last hours before a coronavirus lockdown.Others barricaded themselves inside restaurants for hours until they were sure the danger had passed. Video that appeared to be from the scene showed a gunman, dressed in white coveralls, firing off bursts seemingly at random as he ran down the Austrian capital’s dark cobblestone streets.While the attack lasted just minutes, authorities said only on Tuesday afternoon that there was no indication of a second attacker — adding to tension in the capital as residents were urged to stay home.Two men and two women died from their injuries in the attack — including one German woman, according to Germany’s foreign minister. Authorities said a police officer who tried to get in the way of the attacker was shot and wounded, along with 21 other people.The suspect was identified as a 20-year-old Austrian-North Macedonian dual citizen with a previous terror conviction for attempting to join the Islamic State group in Syria. Police searched 18 properties as well as the suspect's apartment, detaining 14 people associated with the assailant who are being questioned, Interior Minister Karl Nehammer said.“Yesterday's attack was clearly an Islamist terror attack," Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said. “It was an attack out of hatred — hatred for our fundamental values, hatred for our way of life, hatred for our democracy in which all people have equal rights and dignity.”The attacker, identified as Kujtim Fejzulai, was armed with a fake explosive vest, an automatic rifle, a handgun and a machete, according to Nehammer. Before the attack he posted a photograph on a social media account showing him posing with the rifle and machete, Nehammer said.Fejzulai was sentenced to 22 months in prison in April 2019 but was granted early release in December.“The fact is that the terrorist managed to deceive the judicial system's deradicalization program” to secure his release, Nehammer said, adding that the system should be reevaluated.He also said that an attempt to strip Fejzulai of his Austrian citizenship had failed for lack of enough evidence.The Islamic State group on Tuesday claimed credit for the Vienna attack, calling the perpetrator a “soldier of the Caliphate.” The claim of responsibility was published through the militant group’s media arm, Aamaq. It didn't elaborate on the attacker’s ties to IS and had similar wording to past, opportunistic claims by the group.IS also released a video through Aamaq of what is said was the attacker, Fejzulai, whom it called Abu Dujana al-Albani — apparently a nom de guerre — showing him pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group. It wasn't clear when the video was filmed.In North Macedonia, police said a list of suspects sent by Austria included two others with dual Austrian and North Macedonian citizenship. Some 1000 police officers were on duty in Vienna on Tuesday morning. Photo / AP In Switzerland, police in the city of Winterthur said an 18-year-old and a 24-year-old were arrested in consultation with Austrian authorities. Investigators are now trying to determine the nature of the two men's contact with the Vienna suspect.Some of the circumstances of the Vienna shooting are reminiscent of the case of Usman Khan, who stabbed two people to death in 2019 in central London. Khan had been sentenced to 16 years in prison after being convicted for his role in a plot to bomb the London Stock Exchange. He was released in December 2018 after serving half his sentence, as are most prisoners in Britain. While in prison, Khan had begun working with a program that seeks to rehabi...

The vote had previously been scheduled for November so it’s not like they’re shifting things around in a major way, but something like this has been in the cards since ex-Prime Minister Zoran Zaev resigned just after the new year in the wake of the European Union’s decision not to open membership talks with his government. North Macedonia has been run by an interim cabinet since then. Zaev had staked his premiership on a pro-EU policy, and pushed through an unpopular addition of the word “North” to the country’s name in order to settle a dispute with Greece that was preventing Skopje from applying for EU membership. His political position was therefore badly undercut by the failure to start the accession process last fall. The election will basically serve as a referendum on Zaev’s approach, and he’ll be hoping voters return him to office with a mandate to keep pursuing EU membership. North Macedonia’s NATO accession should be a done deal by then (only Spain has yet to ratify it and that’s because Madrid’s political situation is a mess, not because of anything to do with North Macedonia) and Zaev is hoping the excitement over that development will give him a boost. https://www.dw.com/en/north-macedonia-holds-first-election-since-changing-its-name/a-54172417?maca=en-rss-en-all-1573-rdf https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/15/world/europe/north-macedonia-election-zaev.html https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/07/north-macedonia-votes-general-election-eu-talks-loom-200715073621655.html https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/can-europe-make-it/elections-north-macedonia-waiting-kingmaker/ https://www.euronews.com/2020/07/15/north-macedonia-votes-covid-19-driving-fears-of-low-turnout-in-first-election-since-name-c
