Adam, Nina, and Alexandra are finally back together to discuss some news from the region. They cover the latest military draft in Russia, ongoing strikes in Ukraine, Hungary's decision to pull out of the International Criminal Court, and Adam gives his perspective on developments on the Polish-Belarusian border. For the deep dive, Alexandra speaks with Ognen Vangelov, Assistant Professor at University American College-Skopje in North Macedonia and a research fellow at Queen's University's Centre for the Study of Democracy and Diversity.

Send us a textWe're concluding our coverage of Slamdance 2025 with two very timely documentaries that reiterate the need for empathy and activism.Silent Trees follows 16 year-old Runa after the death of her mother on the Polish-Belarusian border as she has to become a mother for her 4 younger brothers. Director Agnieszka Zweifka shares how starting as an activist in the refugee camp led her to direct this film, her immediate connection with Runa and her family, and how Runa's art became a major part of the film.Disposable Humanity follows a family as they investigate the history and memory of the Nazi Aktion T4 program, which targeted over 300,000 disabled people, and was the start of the Holocaust. We were joined by director Cameron S. Mitchell and his father/subject of the film David T. Mitchell, as they explain how the bureaucracy in hospitals and institutions enabled the Nazis, why we must fight against the frightening language of eugenics being repeated by the Trump administration, and the importance of protecting Section 504.Follow Silent Trees on IGFollow Disposable Humanity on IGFollow director Cameron S.

Dave is under the weather this week (feel better soon, Dave!), so Megan and Evan cover the week's movies together. First, Megan reviews Agnieszka Holland's vital, yet harrowing drama GREEN BORDER (3:33), which follows a family of refugees from Syria, a border guard, and a group of activists providing aid to refugees, who converge on the Polish-Belarusian border during a humanitarian crisis. Then Evan and Megan dig into Shawn Levy's much-anticipated superhero film DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE (26:26), which features Ryan Reynolds/Deadpool teaming up with Hugh Jackman as Wolverine! Thankfully we do a show where spoilers are the name of the game because otherwise, this one would be tough to talk about folks. We delve into the action, the comedy, the cameos, and the MCU at large in the context of the TV shows and the multiverse. Plus, in this week's Patreon exclusive audio, we discuss the winner of our summer heatwave poll, Sidney Lumet's 1957 legal drama 12 ANGRY MEN!

Is the far-right AfD treading a more radical course? A ship fire off the Dutch coast stokes fears over electric vehicles and after leaving Russia, many dissidents find life abroad is not plain sailing. Also: the arrival of Wagner forces near the Polish-Belarusian border angers Warsaw, the struggles of being a teenager and a Ukrainian refugee and is France's Fox News swinging too far to the right?

In late 2021, as winter approached, a new crisis unfolded at the Polish/Belarusian border. Large groups of migrants were trapped between the two countries in horrendous conditions with little food or water. It has been reported by Amnesty International that Polish forces have engaged in illegal pushbacks of migrants on the border, thereby violating the principle of non-refoulement under public international law. The Polish government has imposed a state of emergency on the Belarusian border, severely restricting media, and humanitarian access to the border zone. In this episode, we discuss the continuing situation on the Polish/Belarusian border with Kalina Czwarnóg of Fundacja Ocalenie, as well as the nature of the right to asylum, the response of the European Union, and most importantly, what we can do to help the situation.

The tragedy of the almost 2000 migrants at the Polish-Belarusian border continues: rights groups have appealed to the German government, immediate reception is required! Meanwhile, the humanitarian corridors initiative in Italy has brought to safety another 70 people and the Sea Watch 4 was finally granted a safe port (Augusta) for 460 lives.
What is behind the current standoff over refugees trying to enter Poland from Belarus? Why is the EU supporting Poland's position? Have asylum seekers become pawns of regional powers seeking political and economic advantage? Nick Micinski, assistant professor of political science and international affairs at the University of Maine, talks to RBI Director John Torpey about the situation at the Polish/Belarusian border and the politics of migration in and around the countries of the European Union.

A large number of migrants from the Polish-Belarusian border return by plane to Erbil and Baghdad airports; and COVID cases in the KRI amount to almost 372,000. - Gerranewey jmareyêkî mezn le koçberanî ser snûr Bêlarûsya u Polanda le rêgay frokexaney Hewlêr u Beghda we bo herêmî Kurdistan.

In this episode, Alex talks about a missing Chinese tennis star, the growing border crisis between Poland, the EU, and Belarus, and how the autocrats may be winning around the world. He ends by criticizing the GOP for sticking by Rep. Paul Gosar. Gosar has shared a video that showed him killing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and has ties to white supremacists. In this episode - He starts by looking into reports of a recent Chinese tennis star who has gone missing after accusing a Chinese government official of sexual assault. Then he talks about the growing humanitarian crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border in which migrants from the Middle East are being treated like political pawns. In this scenario, Lukashenko appears to be seeking revenge on the EU by exaggerating tensions between the EU and Poland. Recently, Poland's Law and Justice Party have followed Hungary's playbook by packing the judicial system with loyalists. Now the EU must send aid to help Poland in this border crisis, while also condemning Poland's illiberal actions. Later in the episode, Alex discusses an article by Anne Applebaum about how “the Bad Guys are Winning.” The article looks at countries such as Belarus, Russia, China, Poland, Hungary, and even the United States. Applebaum worries that authoritarian regimes are working together to quell democratic protests, the hope is that if they can stop democracy in one country, it won't start in the next. She argues that “If the 20th century was the story of slow, uneven progress toward the victory of liberal democracy over other ideologies—communism, fascism, virulent nationalism—the 21st century is, so far, a story of the reverse.” This brings Alex to his growing fears about what is occurring inside of the GOP in the United States. Only two Republicans (Kinzinger and Cheney) voted to censure Rep. Paul Gosar. Gosar had shared an anime video of himself murdering Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Arizona Republican also has ties to white supremacist movements and appears to have been a key figure in the Trump riots on January 6th. Alex worries that no matter who runs and/or wins the Republican ticket in 2024, the base will demand a Trump-like figure. This poses the question, if the current GOP doesn't want hardline Republicans like Kinzinger and Cheney in their ranks, then who does the GOP want in their ranks? If it isn't about policy anymore, then what is it? Are they going down the same road as other authoritarian movements around the world?
Europe—that is to say, a continent far surpassing the European Union (EU) in size and historical depth—is in the midst of several crises, each testing its resolve and resilience in different ways. The political class, to begin with, is no longer trusted to carry out its duty honorably by the majority of European societies. This past week, the United Kingdom has further aggravated this sense of disillusion by providing the latest ethical scandal or “sleaze”, in Westminster jargon. A slate of senior Tory Members of Parliament (MPs), Sir Geoffrey Cox among them, are alleged to have trespassed the limitations on lobbying activities conducted whilst in office. Meanwhile, the EU keeps careening toward another refugee crisis, although unlike the migrant crisis of 2015, these refugees are unlikely to be portrayed as victims. Instead, they're being funneled to the Polish-Belarusian border from places like Kurdistan and Afghanistan as part of a deliberate pressure campaign. Lukashenko, the authoritarian leader of Europe's pirate state, is allegedly being puppet-mastered by Vladimir Putin to retaliate against the EU's sanctions on its Eastern neighbors. Finally, the third crisis concerns energy. With Germany's use of nuclear energy expected to phase out in the coming year and energy demand fast picking up, Europe's energy prices are soaring all over, casting doubts over the continent's post-Covid economic recovery and raising the prospect of widespread blackouts this upcoming winter. We discuss this and more in this bonus episode—the 42nd in our series—recorded with Julian Graham, a dear friend of the show.

At least 2,000 migrants are now at the Belarus border with Poland, not able to go forwards or turn back and facing freezing temperatures. We hear who EU politicians are blaming for the situation. Also on the programme: The UN says sixteen of its staff have been detained by the authorities in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa; and the Israeli police hail their biggest ever arms bust.

Thousands of people protested in Warsaw on Sunday against pushbacks of migrants and asylum seekers at the Polish-Belarusian border. Smaller rallies were held in other Polish cities as well. Turkey has also started to regularly push migrants back to Iran. A 243-kilometer concrete wall, topped with barbed wire and surrounded by trenches, is currently being built along Turkey's 534-kilometer border with Iran.
In Foresters, Borders, and Bark Beetles: The Future of Europe's Last Primeval Forest (Indiana University Press, 2020), Eunice Blavascunas provides an intimate ethnographic account of Białowieża, Europe's last primeval forest. At Poland's easternmost border with Belarus, the deep past of ancient oaks, woodland bison, and thousands of species of insects and fungi collides with authoritarian and communist histories. Foresters, biologists, environmentalists, and locals project the ancient Białowieża Forest as a series of competing icons in struggles over memory, land, and economy, which are also struggles about whether to log or preserve the woodland; whether and how to celebrate the mixed ethnic Polish/Belarusian peasant past; and whether to align this eastern outpost with ultra-right Polish politics, neighboring Belarus, or the European Union. Drawing on more than twenty years of research, Blavascunas untangles complex conflicts between protection and use by examining which forest pasts are celebrated, which fester, and which have been altered in the tumultuous decades following the collapse of communism. Piotr H. Kosicki is Associate Professor of History at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is the author of Catholics on the Barricades (Yale, 2018) and editor, among others, of Political Exile in the Global Twentieth Century (with Wolfram Kaiser). Learn more about your ad choices.

Conference in Budapest gathers a global alliance of notable conservatives while opinion polls in the V4 indicate a positive outlook for Visegrad cooperation despite nationalist strategies of ruling parties that deviate from the original ethos of the format. France stirs up discussion on European strategic autonomy after recent submarine row with US, UK and Australia - a sensitive subject for Central European countries that rely heavily on security guarantees from Washington. 4 dead bodies found on the Polish-Belarusian border sheds light on the humanitarian crisis at EU's external border. Pushback of migrants from both sides and Warsaw remains reluctant to accept assistance from the EU's Frontex. Constitutional Tribunal to decide on the relationship between European and Polish law. European Commission continues to withhold recovery funds from Hungary, Poland and Czechia on similar grounds of insufficient rule of law, transparency and good governance.
Yesterday Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelensky met in Washington, the first visit of Ukraine's president's to DC in 4 years. Ukraine's concerns over Nord Stream 2 were one of the topics on the agenda. In today's podcast episode, we asked Wojciech Jakóbik, energy analyst and editor-in-chief of Biznes Alert, about gas shortages, GAZPROM's record earnings, controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline, and their implications for energy security in CEE. Meanwhile, Poland introduces a state of emergency on the border with Belarus to block migrants from the Middle East from entering the country. Marta Górczyńska, human rights lawyer, walks us through what's actually going on in the border town of Usnarz Gorny, and explains how the Polish government derogates international rights of refugees currently stuck at the Polish-Belarusian border.
