Durante décadas, Nápoles estuvo marcada por la violencia y el poder de la Camorra. Hoy, la ciudad vive un auge turístico sin precedentes y muchos de sus barrios se han transformado en referentes de cultura, memoria y emprendimiento. Sin embargo, el crimen organizado sigue presente en el sur de Italia, recordando que la recuperación aún enfrenta importantes desafíos. Un reportaje de Valeria Saccone para France 24 sobre la transformación de una de las ciudades más emblemáticas del Mediterráneo.

In this month's episode of Polish Cinema for Beginners we're going back to the very beginnings of Polish cinema — the interwar period. Even though we're only focusing on about two decades, there's a lot to cover. Who were the biggest movie stars? Why did the Poles like melodramas? And what even makes a movie Polish? Along to answer these and many more of our questions is Łukasz Biskupski — a cultural historian and film studies scholar from the University of Łódź.Note from the producer: In the episode, Łukasz mentions that Poland was “colonised” which isn't applicable here given the context surrounding the word. A more accurate word would be “partitioned”.

The Chicago Bears' 2026 rookie class could have a major impact sooner than people think. On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize ranks the Bears rookies by potential 2026 impact, starting with first-round safety Dillon Thieneman, who could immediately become a key piece in Dennis Allen's defense next to Coby Bryant.Haize also breaks down why Sam Roush could matter more than his box score shows in Ben Johnson's 12 and 13 personnel packages, how Zavion Thomas gives the Bears a speed weapon and return-game threat, why Malik Muhammad could push for snaps at cornerback or nickel, and what Logan Jones, Jordan van den Berg, Caden Barnett and Keyshaun Elliott need to prove heading into training camp.Plus, Ryan Poles used one perfect word to describe Ben Johnson's impact on him and the Bears organization: peace. Haize reacts to why that matters, how trust between Poles and Johnson changes the direction of the franchise, and why Bears fans may finally be seeing a real culture shift in Chicago.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/ChiBearsCentralGet at us:Email: ChicagoBearsCentral@gmail.comTwitter:@ChiBearsCentralPhone: ‪(773) 242-9336‬Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Cambridge Five did more damage to the Western Bloc than any other intelligence outfit of the Cold War. They were five Cambridge graduates who drank gin at the right clubs, moved through the right corridors of British intelligence at the height of WW2, and quietly handed Stalin the keys to post-war Europe. Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt, Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, and John Cairncross were recruited for their sympathies to communism because they were radicalized by the wreckage of World War I and the Great Depression. They believed that Soviet communism was the only serious answer. The Five each quickly took up a place in the British government, granting them access to top-secret intelligence that they shared with the USSR, whether decrypted German intelligence obtained from Alan Turing’s Bletchley Park and the Wehrmacht’s latest troop movements, or nuclear designs fresh from Manhattan Project labs. What followed was decades of betrayal so consequential it shaped the entire postwar map of Eastern Europe. They did this not just by passing secrets, but by condemning millions of Poles, Ukrainians, Albanians, and Baltic peoples to Soviet repression when their underground resistance networks were quietly handed over to Moscow. Today’s guest is Antonia Senior, author of Stalin's Apostles, and she explains how she pieced together a story that was designed never to be found, because moles don't leave paper trails, and the Cambridge Five made sure their communications rarely entered any correspondence at all. We see that they did more to cause the Iron Curtain to descend deep into Europe than any other intelligence group.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Founder success isn't just about scaling a business -it's about scaling the person leading it. In this episode of Behind The Numbers, host Dave Bookbinder sits down with founder coach Andrew Poles to explore the often-overlooked connection between personal growth and business growth. Drawing from his experience coaching entrepreneurs, Andrew shares the common blind spots that hold founders back, including assuming others think the way they do, hiring generalists when specialists are needed, and failing to build systems that support sustainable growth. The conversation dives into practical strategies for managing time, energy, and constant interruptions, as well as how to make better hiring decisions in the early stages of a company. Andrew also discusses the importance of addressing the founder's inner world -helping leaders move beyond fear-based decision-making and develop the clarity needed to lead effectively. Andrew also offers a preview of his forthcoming memoir, Over the Gate, sharing the personal experiences that shaped his leadership philosophy and the lessons he's learned about resilience, transformation, and growth. Listeners will gain actionable insights on preventing burnout, making difficult trade-offs with confidence, and reducing overwhelm by shifting from emotional reactivity to intentional prioritization. Whether you're launching a startup, leading a growing company, or simply looking to become a more effective leader, this conversation offers valuable lessons on building both a better business and a better version of yourself.

“The United States and America are not the same thing. The United States is a government, an administration. America is an idea — and that idea is still there, even when the government is not.” — Konstanty Gebert What is the best thing about America? At least when viewed from Warsaw. For Konstanty Gebert — Polish-Jewish journalist, Solidarity activist, co-founder of Gazeta Wyborcza, and one of his country's most celebrated public intellectuals — the answer is the interlibrary loan system. The ability to order any book from any library in the United States and have it delivered to your local branch within days, for free. To Gebert, it represents something irreducibly American: access to knowledge as a public good. What the internet once was. What America once represented to freedom-loving Poles like Gebert. And the worst? Yalta. Gebert's narrative is damning. In February 1945, FDR and Churchill caved into Stalin's demands and agreed to Soviet colonisation of Eastern Europe in exchange for Russia's entry into the Pacific War. Poland was once again bartered by the great powers. “We were sold,” Gebert describes a perfidy that resulted in a forty-year Soviet occupation of Poland. Between the interlibrary loan and Yalta lies a more complex Polish-American history: Woodrow Wilson's 14 Points enabling an independent Poland; Herbert Hoover feeding a starving Europe after WW1; Reagan's support for Solidarity. Now, however, Konstanty Gebert warns, Trump's America isn't just failing Poland, but all of Europe in its disdain for freedom, especially in Ukraine. That's the view from Warsaw. And it's closer to Yalta than the interlibrary loan system. Five Takeaways •       The Interlibrary Loan System: The Peak of American Civilisation: Gebert's opening answer to Andrew's question about what the United States means to him: the interlibrary loan system. The ability to order any book from any library in the country and have it delivered to your local branch within days, for free. It represents something specific about the American idea: that access to knowledge is a public good, that no individual library can hold everything, and that the solution is to share rather than compete. It is, he says, the most civilised thing any country has ever done. He is not entirely joking. •       The United States and America Are Not the Same Thing: Gebert's structural distinction: the United States is a government, a foreign policy, a set of institutions that can be well or badly run. America is an idea — a myth of liberty, opportunity, and democratic self-governance — that has shaped the world's imagination since 1776. When the United States fails, as it has under Trump, that is serious and damaging. But it does not destroy America. The idea persists independently of what any administration does to it. Poland's relationship is with America, not just the United States. That is what survived Yalta. That is what survived Trump's first term. He is less sure it will survive the second. •       Wilson Square, Hoover, and Yalta: America's Polish History: The arc of American-Polish relations is extraordinary. Woodrow Wilson's 14 Points gave Poland its independence after 123 years of partition — which is why Wilson Square in Warsaw exists. Herbert Hoover fed Europe after the First World War — a gesture of generosity that Poles still remember. But at Yalta in 1945, Franklin Roosevelt traded Eastern Europe to Stalin in exchange for Soviet entry into the Pacific War — or so the Polish reading goes. “We were sold,” Gebert says flatly. Reagan's support for Solidarity rehabilitated the American image. Trump's presidency has damaged it again. The cycle is long but the memory is longer. •       Solidarity and America: Personal History: Gebert was a Solidarity activist and underground journalist — writing under the pseudonym Dawid Warszawski — during the 1980s. The movement was sustained, in part, by American moral and material support: the Reagan administration, the CIA, Western unions, the Catholic Church in America. For Gebert's generation, America meant: someone in the world cares about us. Someone knows what is happening in Warsaw. We are not alone. That is the emotional core of the Poland-America relationship. Trump's abandonment of Ukraine — not just Ukraine but the principle that democracies defend each other — tears at that core. •       Gaza, Genocide, and the Precision of Language: The conversation's most unexpected and bravest section. Gebert — as a prominent Polish Jew, Solidarity activist, and scholar of comparative genocide — refuses the word “genocide” for Gaza, and explains why. The legal and historical definition, established at Srebrenica and Nuremberg, requires evidence of systematic intent to destroy a people as such. What is happening in Gaza is, he says, horrifying, criminal, and a moral catastrophe for Israel. But the precision of the word “genocide” is what gives it its power to prevent future atrocities. Diluting it into a synonym for mass killing weakens the concept at the moment we most need it. The Nazis' General Plan Ost would have turned to Slavs next. That is the context in which the word was forged. About the Guest Konstanty Gebert (also known as Dawid Warszawski) is a journalist, author, and Jewish activist, and one of Poland's most celebrated public intellectuals. He was a democratic opposition activist in the 1970s, an underground journalist during martial law in the 1980s, a co-founder of Gazeta Wyborcza in 1989, a war correspondent in Yugoslavia in the 1990s, and co-founder of Midrasz, Poland's leading Jewish intellectual monthly. He is an Associate Fellow of the European Council on Foreign Relations and has taught at Hebrew University, UC Berkeley, and Grinnell College. He is the author of more than a dozen books in Polish, covering Poland's Round Table negotiations of 1989, the Yugoslav wars, Israeli history, comparative genocide, and commentaries on the Torah. References: •       Wilson Square, Warsaw — named for President Woodrow Wilson, whose 14 Points included Polish independence; renamed Paris Commune Square under communism, restored in 1989. •       Woodrow Wilson's 14 Points (1918) — Point 13 called for an independent Poland with access to the sea. •       Herbert Hoover's post-WWI European relief programme — referenced as an act of American generosity Poles still remember. •       The Yalta Conference (1945) — where Roosevelt and Churchill agreed to Soviet influence over Eastern Europe, which Poles describe as a betrayal. •       Srebrenica — referenced as the legal touchstone for the definition of genocide in international law. •       Andrew Keen's forthcoming book: Where Have You Gone, Bobby Kennedy? My Search for a Lost America — the conversation is part of Andrew's European research trip for the book. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer a...

“People in my generation worshipped the United States during communism. Everybody wanted to flee to the US. It was the land of the dream. And now we confront a different type of country, different type of politics — and we don't dream of the US anymore.” — Bartosz Wieliński I'm just back from Warsaw where I spent an afternoon at the offices of Gazeta Wyborcza, Poland's liberal newspaper of record. I talked with Bartosz Wieliński, the newspaper's Deputy Editor and one of the country's most respected journalists. The message from Warsaw is dire — at least for America. Wieliński told me that his generation grew up worshipping the United States. But they no longer do. The Americans, he says, have lost not only their credibility and their values, but their minds. Invoking Timothy Snyder, Wieliński describes this as the “suicide of a superpower.” Trump didn't have to start a trade war. He didn't have to bomb Iran without strategic objectives. He didn't have to destroy US aid programmes that were the most cost-effective democracy-promotion tool in the world. He didn't have to cripple NATO or sacrifice Ukraine. He chose to do all of it. Wake up, America! That's Bartosz Wieliński's stark message from Warsaw. Don't lose Europe. Trump will be gone sooner or later. Make sure he hasn't burned every bridge with Europe before he exits. Five Takeaways •       We No Longer Dream of the United States: Wieliński's generation grew up under communism worshipping America — the land of the dream, the place everyone wanted to reach. Now they confront a different country with a different politics. The Americans, he says, didn't lose anything. The Poles didn't lose their innocence. The Americans lost their credibility, their values, and their minds by electing Donald Trump. If anyone lost anything, it was Americans. Not Poles. •       The Suicide of a Superpower: Wieliński invokes Timothy Snyder's phrase to describe what Trump is doing. The US started a war with Iran without having any strategic objectives. Nobody heard Trump say what his objective was. America had friends, influence, and soft power — US aid was the most cost-effective democracy-promotion tool in the world. It is being deliberately destroyed. NATO was the best investment America ever made: the only time Article Five was invoked was by Europeans, to defend America, after September 11. Crippling NATO means losing Europe, and there is no way back. •       The Dark Enlightenment and Silicon Valley: Wieliński identifies a specific group behind Trump's project: very rich and powerful people connected to big tech who believe they can reshape politics through platforms, influence behaviour through technology, and create a new technological order — reversing political development back to before the Enlightenment. They call it the dark enlightenment. Europe, he says, rejects it. Europe will defend its societies against that influence. •       The New Division: Democrats vs Anti-Democrats: The key political division everywhere Wieliński looks is no longer between left and right. It is between supporters of democracy and its enemies. In Germany: the AfD at 30%, while the mainstream parties have collapsed from a combined 70% to a combined 35%. In France: the horseshoe theory — far left and far right meeting at the ends of the arc, both willing to work together to dismantle democracy. In Poland: a colourful coalition from right to left defending democracy against PiS. The same coalition will be needed everywhere. •       Wake Up: Don't Lose Europe: Wieliński's message to Americans: wake up. You still have friends in Europe. Europeans still want to believe in America as the land of promise and freedom. But don't destroy what you spent so many decades building. Trump will be gone sooner or later. Make sure he hasn't burned every bridge with Europe before he exits. If those bridges are destroyed, they will be very hard to rebuild. About the Guest Bartosz Wieliński is Deputy Editor in Chief of Gazeta Wyborcza, Poland's leading liberal daily newspaper. He was formerly the paper's Berlin correspondent. Gazeta Wyborcza was founded in 1989, the year of Poland's first free elections. References: •       Gazeta Wyborcza — Poland's liberal newspaper of record, founded 1989. •       Timothy Snyder — referenced for “suicide of a superpower.” Previously appeared on KOA. •       The horseshoe theory — the idea that the extreme left and extreme right, at the ends of the political horseshoe, are closer to each other than either is to the centre. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 3,000 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting. WebsiteSubstackApple PodcastsSpotify Chapters: (00:30) - Introduction: Warsaw, Gazeta Wyborcza, and lost illusions (01:25) - We no longer dream of the United States (02:17) - The Americans lost their credibility, not the Poles (02:41) - Message to Trump voters: you did it wrong (03:51) - Timothy Snyder: the suicide of a superpower (05:00) - The Iran war: no strategic objectives (06:00) - US aid: the most cost-effective democracy tool ever destroyed (07:00) - NATO: Article Five was invoked by Europeans, for America (08:10) - Silicon Valley and the dark enlightenment (09:14) - Trump's policy as an opportunity for Europe (27:26) - The new division: democrats vs anti-democrats (27:52) - Germany: the AfD at 30% (31:15) - The horseshoe theory (33:45) - Wake up, America: don't lose Europe

Bukovina, when it has existed on official maps, has always fit uneasily among its neighbors. The region is now divided between Romania and Ukraine but has long been a testing ground for successive regimes, including the Habsburg Empire, independent and later Nazi-allied Romania, and the Soviet Union, as each sought to reshape the region in its own image. In this beautifully written and wide-ranging book Bukovina: The Life and Death of an East European Borderland (Princeton UP, 2025), Cristina Florea traces the history of Bukovina, showing how this borderland, the onetime buffer between Christendom and Islam, found itself at the forefront of modern state-building and governance projects that eventually extended throughout the rest of Europe. Encounters that play out in borderlands have proved crucial to the development of modern state ambitions and governance practices.Drawing on a wide range of archives and published sources in Russian, Ukrainian, German, Romanian, French, and Yiddish, Florea integrates stories of ethnic and linguistic groups—rural Ukrainians, Romanians, and Germans, and urban German-speaking Jews and Poles—who lived side by side in Bukovina, all of them navigating constant reconfiguration and reinvention. Challenging traditional chronologies in European history, she shows that different transformations in the region occurred at different tempos, creating a historical palimpsest and a sense among locals that they had lived many lives.A two-hundred-year history of a region shaped by the conflicting pulls of imperial legacies and national ambitions, Bukovina reveals the paradoxes of modern history found in a microcosm of Eastern Europe.

Good looking women on poles

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on dangerous weather ripping through the Midwest.

The Germans, Czechs, and the Making of Texas I live in Central Texas in an area called the Hill Country. We have an old saying that if you drive far enough through the Hill Country, you'll eventually find three things:a church steeple,a dance hall,and the smell of barbecue smoke drifting across the fields. But behind those familiar, almost stereotypical, Texas scenes lies a deeper story. A story carried across oceans by immigrants who arrived with little more than trunks, tools, family Bibles, recipes, songs, and hope. During the 1800s, thousands of Germans, Czechs, Poles, and other Europeans came to Texas searching for something they could not find in the Old World:land…freedom…and the chance to build a new life. And in doing so, they helped shape the Texas we know today. This is the story of the Germans, the Czechs, and their role in the making of Texas. THE JOURNEY TO TEXAS For many immigrants, Europe in the mid-1800s was a difficult place. Germany was divided into small kingdoms and states. Political unrest swept through Europe after the revolutions of 1848. Economic hardship and land shortages left many families struggling to survive. Meanwhile, in the Austro-Hungarian territories, Czech farmers and laborers faced poverty, overcrowding, and limited opportunity. Then came the stories about Texas. Cheap land.Open skies.Fertile soil.A place where a man might own property for the first time in his life. For many families, the journey began with a crowded ship crossing the Atlantic.Then came the rough Gulf waters to Galveston or Indianola.After that…weeks of travel by wagon, horseback, or simply on foot into the interior of Texas. The Texas they found was not easy. There were droughts.Floods.Disease.Isolation.And the constant challenge of carving homes and farms out of untamed land. But they endured..... This is their story.....

In this episode, Ania and Roy tackle a topic close to every Polish learner's heart — the very first words and sounds you encounter when learning Polish!

Poles apart - and not the dancing kind! Anora won the 2024 Palme d'Or at Cannes and five out of six categories at the 2025 Academy awards including Best Original Screen Play and Best Film. Plus, it was nominated for a multitude of other awards and won its fair share. On Rotten Tomatoes it has an aggregated rating of 93%. That's impressive.  However, we disagree about What Went Right. I saw how the writer director crafted a pessimistic story arc combined with a negative character arc. Valerie believes that nothing went right in this movie because of the characters, dialogue, and lack of originality.

Forty years after Chernobyl, Poland aims to open its first nuclear power plant. Shortly after the disaster, only 30% of Poles supported nuclear power. In 2022, the support hit a record 75%, almost doubling just from the year before, according to public opinion polls. Poland's nuclear revival attempts to solve several issues at once: it will make Poland more energy-independent, especially in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, but it will also help the country move away from coal per the EU's climate policies. That's according to the officials, but what do people living near the new site think about its construction? Journalist Zuza Nazaruk sets out to discover whether the ghosts of Chernobyl still haunt the areas surrounding the spot picked for the new plant.

Before the war, Oświęcim was a town inhabited mainly by Poles and Jews. During the Second World War it was annexed to Germany and the name of the town was changedto Auschwitz. At the end of 1939 the town had a population of over 12,500 people, about half of whom were Jews. Near Oświęcim there were several villages, which in December of 1939 were incorporated into the German administrative unitof Stadtbezirk Auschwitz. About 13,000 people lived in thesevillages.  Due to the establishment and expansion of the Auschwitz camp, several thousand Polish and Jewish residents of Oświęcim and nearby villages were forced to leave their homes. In the “On Auschwitz” podcast, we share fragments oftestimonies from witnesses and their relatives about these events.=====The podcast features material from the collections of:The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum Archives:- account by Zofia Przybyłowska- account by Piotr Bielenin- account by Marian Górnicki- account by Sylwester Szałaśny- account by Krystyna Szałaśny- account by Sabina Rosenbach (transcribed, read by a narrator)- account by Helena Mataniak (written down, read by a narrator)- account by Helena Hoła (written down, read by a narrator)Museum of Remembrance of the Residents of the Oświęcim Region:- account by Helena Grzesło- account by Aleksander Karkoszka- account by Józefa Handzlik- account by Wanda Saternus- account by Maria Gawron- account by Janina Stawowy- account by Wanda Patyna- account by Henryk Kuczek- account by Maria Jurczyk- account by Tadeusz FirczykJewish Museum in Oświęcim:- account by Abraham and Jerzy Feiner- account by Lola BodnerThe Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw:- account by Ewa Neiger (written down, read by a narrator)- account by Sylwia Bachner (written down, read by a narrator)- account by Anna Hönig (written down, read by a narrator)- account by Tauba Grünn (written down, read by a narrator)

What It's About This episode teaches Polish vocabulary for common pets and animals. Ania covers how to talk about your furry (and scaly) friends in Polish—from dogs and cats to more exotic companions. The episode includes practical phrases for describing your pet, asking about others' animals, and understanding Polish pet culture. Key Polish Words & Phrases Pies – dog Kot – cat Zwierzę domowe – pet (domestic animal) Mam psa/kota – I have a dog/cat Jak masz na imię? – What's your name? (for pets too!) Cultural Note Poles love their pets! Dogs are especially popular in cities, and you'll often see them in cafes and on public transport. The phrase "zwierzę domowe" literally means "domestic animal"—Poles don't use a single word like "pet," they specify "house animal."
