In deze nieuwe aflevering van de F1 VANDAAG videopodcast wordt de mediadag voorafgaand aan de Grand Prix van Bahrein in Maleisië besproken door Geoffrey Smulders, Gandor Bronkhorst en Tim Kraaij.Zo gaat het onder andere over de persconferentie met Max Verstappen, die het nodige te zeggen had. Zo sluit hij een boycot van de races in Qatar en Abu Dhabi niet uit, wil hij nog per se 1 Grand Prix winnen in 2026 en bevestigde hij een deelname aan een extra race in Portimao.Verder was er ook aandacht voor Esteban Ocon, die nu officieel vertrekt bij Haas. Daarentegen hebben Lance Stroll en Fernando Alonso verlengd voor het F1-seizoen van 2027. Er is ook opnieuw aandacht voor de chaos bij Ferrari. Daar namen Lewis Hamilton en Charles Leclerc het op voor Frederic Vasseur. De teambaas van Ferrari komt steeds verder onder druk, maar volgens de coureurs ligt het niet aan de teambaas.

VOV1 - Truyền thông khu vực dẫn lời một quan chức Iran giấu tên sáng nay cho biết Iran đã nhận được phản hồi chính thức của Mỹ với đề xuất của Tehran về mở lại eo biển Hormuz trong vòng 7 ngày.Theo nguồn tin, phản hồi của Mỹ với đề xuất mở lại eo Hormuz của Iran, đã được nhà trung gian Qatar chuyển cho Ngoại trưởng Iran Abbas Aragchi tối qua (29/9), khi ông Araghchi ghé thăm Doha trong ít giờ. Dự kiến, trong ngày hôm nay, giới chức Iran sẽ tiến hành các cuộc thảo luận và đánh giá về phản hồi của Mỹ. Tuy nhiên, thông tin chi tiết liên quan đến nội dung phản hồi, không được đề cập.Trước đó, Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump cuối tuần trước đã bác bỏ đề xuất mà Iran đưa ra ngày 24/9 về mở lại eo biển Hormuz trong vòng 7 ngày kèm một số điều kiện, trong đó có điều khoản chấm dứt giao tranh trên mọi mặt trận và dỡ bỏ phong tỏa kinh tế của Mỹ chống Iran. Mặc dù vậy, ông Trump bày tỏ hy vọng các cuộc đối thoại giữa hai bên sẽ sớm được khôi phục, có thể là ngay trong tuần này.Về phía Qatar, Bộ Ngoại giao nước này hôm qua xác nhận đang thực hiện việc trung chuyển thông điệp qua lại giữa Mỹ và Iran. Tuy nhiên, kế hoạch nối lại các cuộc hòa đàm liên quan, không được nhắc đến.Mỹ và Iran tiến hành vòng đàm phán chính thức cuối cùng tại Thụy Sỹ giữa tháng 6, ngay sau sự kiện hai nước ký Bản ghi nhớ Islamabad, còn gọi là thỏa thuận tạm thời về chấm dứt chiến tranh. Thế nhưng, triển vọng hòa đàm đã “lâm vào ngõ cụt”, sau tuyên bố hôm 8/7 của Tổng thống Trump về vô hiệu hóa hoàn toàn thỏa thuận.Ngày 22/9 vừa qua, Ngoại trưởng Iran Abbas Araghchi và Đặc phái viên Mỹ Steve Witkoff, đã có cuộc trao đổi gián tiếp không chính thức đầu tiên ở New York, bên lề Đại hội đồng Liên hợp quốc, dưới sự trung gian của Qatar. Tuy nhiên, không có bất kỳ đột phá hay thỏa thuận nào được tạo ra trong lần đối thoại này./.Bá Thi/ VOV Ai CậpEo biển Hormuz

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday that Israel would make Hamas pay for failing to release the body of hostage Shiri Bibas as agreed in the latest potential threat to the month-old cease-fire.以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡周五表示，哈马斯未能按照协议归还人质希里·比巴斯（Shiri Bibas）的遗体，以色列将让其为此付出代价，这是对一个月前停火协议的最新潜在威胁。Reuters correspondent Fiona Jones reports. Hamas said Bibas' remains appeared to have been mixed with others after an Israeli airstrike hit the place she was being held, later adding that it was investigating the possible error.路透社记者菲奥娜·琼斯（Fiona Jones）报道。哈马斯表示，以色列空袭袭击了比巴斯被关押的地方后，她的遗体似乎与其他遗体混在一起，后来又补充说，正在调查可能的失误。Netanyahu gave no details on a possible Israeli response, but the incident highlights the fragility of the month-old cease-fire deal reached with U.S. backing and help from Qatar and Egypt.内塔尼亚胡没有透露以色列可能做出的反应，但这一事件凸显了在美国支持以及卡塔尔和埃及帮助下达成的一个月前停火协议的脆弱性。The failure to return Bebas' body during this staged public handover caused outrage in Israel.在这次分阶段的公开移交中，以色列未能归还比巴斯的遗体，引起了以色列的愤怒。"It's like they make a joke of us and the mother just sent the body and it's so painful, so the family has to go and bury them and to make sort of a closure and now the mother is missing and it's so frustrating."“他们好像在拿我们开玩笑，母亲刚刚把尸体送来，这太令人痛苦了，所以家人必须去埋葬他们，做一个了结，现在母亲失踪了，这太令人沮丧了。”Hamas is due to release six living hostages on Saturday, with the start of the negotiations for the cease-fire's second phase expected in the coming days. That was Reuters correspondent Fiona Jones.哈马斯定于周六释放六名活着的人质，预计未来几天将开始停火第二阶段的谈判。路透社记者菲奥娜·琼斯报道。U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has criticized Germany's free speech laws during an appearance at a conservative gathering outside Washington.美国副总统J.D.万斯在华盛顿郊外的保守派集会上批评了德国的言论自由法。He linked Germany's limits against hate speech to American troops stationed there.他将德国对仇恨言论的限制与驻扎在那里的美国军队联系起来。German laws set restrictions on free speech, including the long-standing ban on Holocaust denial and any glorification of the country's Nazi past.德国法律对言论自由进行了限制，包括长期禁止否认大屠杀和美化该国纳粹历史。The limits are an effort to curb extremism and incitement and have led authorities to policing the internet for hate speech and arresting people forallegedlyposting and reposting such comments.这些限制是为了遏制极端主义和煽动行为，并促使当局对互联网上的仇恨言论进行监管，并逮捕涉嫌发布和转发此类评论的人。Vance's remarks Thursday followed his speech earlier this month at the Munich Security Conference.万斯周四发表讲话之前，他本月早些时候在慕尼黑安全会议上发表了讲话。

¡QUE RUEDE LA PELOTA!

Britain is "walking into a second significant energy crisis", the boss of the country's largest electricity generator has warned. Simone Rossi, chief executive of EDF in the UK, told the BBC's Business Editor Simon Jack on the Big Boss Interview that household bills are forecast to rise by around 20% in January. Customers still owe more than £5bn from the last crisis, four years ago.Gas is driving the rise. Gas prices are up 25%, while the electricity part of the price cap is 4% lower than in January. His advice is blunt: where you can, choose electricity over gas. He blames wars hitting the world's two biggest gas suppliers at once (Russia and Qatar), which he calls "almost unthinkable".Closer to the UK, he is asked whether ministers should approve the Rosebank and Jackdaw fields, he says: "Green light. Absolutely. No doubt about it." With most homes heated by gas and most cars running on petrol or diesel, weaning Britain off fossil fuels will take decades. Until then, he argues, producing oil and gas at home keeps jobs and tax receipts in the UK and pollutes less than importing it. "It's a no-brainer."Nor does he expect relief soon. Ed Miliband promised bills £300 lower by the end of this parliament. Mr Rossi expects them to stay stubbornly high until 2030. Britain built an energy system for rising demand, but demand fell even as the economy grew by 30% and the population by about 10 million. The cause, he says, is deindustrialisation. The fixed costs of the grid are now spread across fewer users, and "somebody's got to pay".That explains the paradox of cheap renewables and expensive bills. Wind and solar are the cheapest power to produce, but cost is not the same as value. Electricity is hard to store and does not travel well, so every wind farm far from where people live needs costly cables, grid and storage. Last year Britain paid wind farms to switch off nine terawatt-hours of power while importing more than £40bn of fuel.His answer runs against intuition: more demand means lower bills. Ten million electric vehicles, two million heat pumps and more data centres would spread those fixed costs more widely. He wants ministers to move more policy costs from bills into general taxation, extend the zero VAT rate on electricity beyond April, and introduce a proper social tariff. Bills, he says, have become "a tool to pay for a lot of stuff", and that makes them regressive.Then there is the winter. Britain's gas storage is low, and relying on imports could mean "staggering" prices at peak times. "If we are caught short," he warns, "basically we are naked in front of the markets."Presenter: Simon Jack Producer: Ollie Smith & Olie D'Albertanson01:15 Why UK energy bills are so high 04:11 Why cheap renewables don't mean cheap bills 07:30 Walking into a second energy crisis 12:33 Paying wind farms to switch off 13:48 Rosebank, Jackdaw and the North Sea 17:20 Bills stubbornly high until 2030 21:58 Clean power 2030 versus reindustrialisation 27:41 Hinkley Point, Sizewell C and the cost of nuclear 32:28 Low gas storage and summer grid scares

Piers Morgan speaks exclusively with the Prime Minister of Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani, in a candid and wide-ranging interview.  In his toughest statements yet, the Qatari Prime Minister directly brands Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "war criminal" for the military campaign and explicit genocide in Gaza. He addresses allegations surrounding Qatari influence and funding in the US as "absurd and insulting", while firmly rejecting claims that Qatari aid goes toward Hamas's military wing, explaining that all funds were coordinated directly with the US, UN, and Israel.  Additionally, the Prime Minister reveals he has had no direct contact with Iran's new Supreme Leader and delivers a clear message to President Donald Trump to cool down his social media rhetoric to help end the Iran war and facilitate peace.

Send us Fan Mail What if the colleague you've been describing as "quirky" is the most underused talent in your building? In this episode of Coaching the Whole Educator, Becca Silver sits down with Justin Permenter of NDI Institute to talk about building workplaces where neurodivergent educators, coaches, and leaders can perform, contribute, and lead without lowering expectations. Roughly one in five people is neurodivergent, including people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and dyspraxia. Yet most schools and organizations are built for neurotypical ways of working by default. Students get IEPs and 504 plans. Adults get a workplace that expects everyone to sit at the same table, the same way, on the same timeline. Justin shares his journey from the classroom in Kansas City to international education in Qatar and his work with Franklin Covey's Leader in Me, plus the story of Omar, a 16-year-old autistic intern who outperformed full-time staff at the Waldorf Astoria within three weeks. Becca opens up about her own ADHD diagnosis and the moment she started seeing it as a strength instead of a deficit. You'll learn: Why accommodation and compliance checklists aren't the same as strengths activationHow curiosity (the C in NDI's CLEAR framework) replaces judgment when a colleague works differentlyWhat "results alignment" means: keeping outcomes high while allowing multiple pathways to get thereOne thing school leaders and instructional coaches can do tomorrow to lead more neuroinclusivelyPerfect for instructional coaches, principals, district leaders, and anyone who leads adults in schools. Resources mentioned:Website: www.ndiinstitute.comWebinar on October 6th: https://www.ndiinstitute.com/webinarFree C.L.E.A.R.

Han blev fotbollsvärldens mäktigaste person med löften om förbättring. Men tio år senare är Gianni Infantinos namn mer synonymt med storhetsvansinne. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Från en alpby i Schweiz till ”järntronen” högst upp i fotbollspyramiden – Gianni Infantinos resa genom maktens korridorer i fotbollsvärlden visar att idrottsadministration på hög internationell nivå är mer ”Game of thrones”-intrigerande än grådaskig kansliverksamhet.När schweiz-italienaren Infantino väljs till internationella fotbollsförbundet Fifas ordförande 2016 dras organisationen med ett skamfilat rykte, efter en korruptionsskandal som har skakat om hela fotbollsvärlden.Budskapet från Gianni Infantino är att de som styr måste bete sig mindre som politiker och mer som fans, för fotbollen tillhör fansen. Men det dröjer inte länge innan det börjar viskas om mutor och korruption i samband med den nye ordföranden också.Han solar sig i glansen med Rysslands president Vladimir Putin, och skrattar ikapp med Saudiarabiens kronprins Mohammed bin Salman. Han blir omedelbart ett internetmeme efter en historisk presskonferens i Qatar, och han delar ut ett alternativt fredspris till sin gode vän Donald Trump. Budskapet från hela fotbollsvärldens pappa är att ”fotboll förenar”. Med löften om pengar har han länge lyckats mobilisera stöd bakom sig. Men under några heta veckor sommaren 2026 händer saker som får bägaren att rinna över för Infantinos kritiker.Nu kämpar han för sin överlevnad på tronen.I avsnittet medverkar Olof Lundh, krönikör på TV4 och Fotbollskanalen, Lars-Christer Olsson, tidigare verkställande direktör på den europeiska fotbollskonfederationen Uefa, och Samir Yosufi, sportreporter på P3.Ljuden i avsnittet kommer från Fifas officiella Youtubekanal, Uefas officiella Youtubekanal, Sky Sports, CBS News, BBC.Avsnittet gjordes hösten 2026 av produktionsbolaget Dist.Programledare och producent: Vendela LundbergAvsnittsmakare och reporter: Patrick StaneliusMixtekniker: Fredrik Nilsson

VOV1 - Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump cho biết ông kỳ vọng Washington và Tehran tiến hành thêm các cuộc đàm phán trong tuần bắt đầu từ ngày 28/9, dù hai bên vẫn còn khác biệt lớn về điều kiện chấm dứt xung đột và mở lại hoàn toàn Eo biển Hormuz.Trong cuộc phỏng vấn qua điện thoại với Axios ngày 27/9, Tổng thống Donald Trump cho biết Iran muốn đạt được thỏa thuận nhưng đề xuất hiện nay chưa đáp ứng yêu cầu của Washington. Ông Trump nói đề xuất của Tehran có thể là điều Mỹ từng chấp nhận cách đây một năm, nhưng không còn phù hợp với tình hình hiện tại. Nhà lãnh đạo Mỹ đồng thời cho rằng Iran đã đánh giá quá cao vị thế của mình trong quá trình thương lượng.Trước đó một ngày, Tổng thống Trump công khai bác đề xuất của Iran về một lệnh ngừng bắn kéo dài 7 ngày, mở lại Eo biển Hormuz và nối lại đàm phán hạt nhân. Theo đề xuất, Mỹ phải dỡ bỏ phong tỏa các cảng của Iran, nới lỏng một số biện pháp trừng phạt đối với hoạt động xuất khẩu dầu và tuân thủ lệnh ngừng bắn trên toàn khu vực.Giải thích quyết định của mình, ông Trump cho rằng Iran muốn mở lại ngay Eo biển Hormuz do đang chịu sức ép kinh tế và quân sự lớn. Ông Trump đồng thời tuyên bố Mỹ đang kiểm soát tình hình tại tuyến hàng hải chiến lược này và cho rằng Iran muốn khôi phục lưu thông để có thêm nguồn thu. Tuy nhiên, phía Iran khẳng định việc mở lại eo biển chỉ có thể diễn ra nếu những điều kiện của Tehran được đáp ứng.Khi được hỏi về khả năng nối lại các cuộc tấn công nhằm vào Iran, Tổng thống Trump cho biết ông vẫn luôn cân nhắc lựa chọn này. Tuy nhiên, ông dự kiến các nhà đàm phán Mỹ sẽ tiếp tục tiếp xúc với phía Iran trong tuần này.Qatar và một số quốc gia trong khu vực đang thúc đẩy hoạt động trung gian nhằm thu hẹp bất đồng. Một vòng đối thoại gián tiếp mới có thể diễn ra sớm nhất vào ngày 28/9, với các quan chức Qatar chuyển thông điệp giữa hai bên.Iran muốn các cuộc thảo luận tập trung vào việc mở lại Eo biển Hormuz và chấm dứt phong tỏa các cảng của nước này. Trong khi đó, Mỹ yêu cầu Tehran đưa ra thêm những nhượng bộ liên quan đến chương trình hạt nhân.Ngoại trưởng Iran Abbas Araqchi cho biết Tehran vẫn chưa nhận được phản hồi chính thức từ Mỹ thông qua các bên trung gian. Ông khẳng định Iran đã chuẩn bị cho khả năng chiến sự tái diễn nhưng đồng thời vẫn sẵn sàng tìm kiếm một giải pháp ngoại giao. Theo ông Araqchi, lựa chọn giữa ngoại giao và tiếp tục đối đầu hiện phụ thuộc vào quyết định của Tổng thống Trump./. Quang Trung/VOV Mỹ

Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and JD Vance are at the center of a fight that could decide who controls the Republican Party in 2028. Shabbos Kestenbaum, the Harvard graduate who sued the university and became a fixture at PragerU, the Republican National Convention, and the Knesset, sits down with Jillian Michaels to name the people he says are hijacking the conservative movement from the inside. He lays out what he thinks Tucker Carlson is really building, why the money question won't go away, and the JD Vance decision that could hand the Democrats their best midterm attack line. Then a Nick Fuentes clip about Shabbos gets played on air, and the response goes somewhere nobody expects.IN THIS EPISODE:Tucker Carlson JD Vance 2028: Leaked audio from a closed-door event, a question Vance wouldn't answer, and a theory about what Tucker wants from the next nominee that changes how you'll read every Tucker headline this week.Tucker Carlson money and the Abdul El-Sayed endorsement: Shabbos says the answer to "how did we get here" comes down to two things, and one of them can be settled by opening a set of books that Tucker refuses to open.Nick Fuentes debate challenge: Fuentes calls Shabbos a clout chaser and says he'll never debate him. Shabbos plays a video of Fuentes on a sidewalk with Ben Shapiro's family that flips the whole accusation. Then Jillian explains why she won't have Fuentes on, and the reason isn't what you'd think.America First vs the "woke right": Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie, Candace Owens, and Tucker on one list. Shabbos argues they are no longer conservatives, and he has a name for what they are.AIPAC money vs foreign money: The Ana Kasparian clip that ended with her blocking Shabbos on X. Who actually wrote checks to Thomas Massie, and the country pouring money into Harvard and dozens of other campuses that almost nobody talks about. Qatar funding Harvard gets a number that stops the conversation.JD Vance vs Marco Rubio: One of them keeps going viral for what he says. The other keeps going viral for what he does. Shabbos makes the case for which one Republicans should actually be looking at, and the one assignment Vance was given that didn't work.Sharia law in America and the El Sayed Sharia law question: A Muslim debater tries to defend a marriage to a nine-year-old, a British academic calls concern about grooming gangs bigotry, and Jillian says the sentence she's been holding back for years.Radicalized young men and the DSA: Why Shabbos thinks Fuentes could still be pulled back, what the shooters of Charlie Kirk, Trump, and a healthcare CEO have in common, and the case that Bernie Sanders became an existential threat.About Shabbos Kestenbaum: Former Bernie campaigner, Harvard alum who sued the university after October 7th, now a political commentator at PragerU who has testified before Congress and the Knesset.

DESCRIPTION: Every flight through the Gulf this month is being approved on the day, one flight at a time. If your December ticket to Europe or Asia connects in Dubai or Doha, this episode tells you who makes that decision and what to do about your own booking. This week your phone filled up with videos of missiles over Riyadh and a travel warning from Washington. I read the US security alert for the UAE word for word. It is an alert about the whole region. It does not say the Emirates is unsafe, and it tells Americans to check their flight with the airline. Then the week as it actually happened: flames and smoke near Riyadh's main airport, which Yemen's Houthis claimed and Saudi Arabia did not confirm. Iranian airlines suspending flights to Baghdad, Muscat, Qatar, Georgia and Azerbaijan after the United States tightened sanctions. Kuwait's airspace closed to aircraft flying over it. The European regulator telling its airlines to stay out of Iran and Iraq entirely, and to avoid flying over the waters of the Gulf except when arriving at or departing from the airports there. The airports themselves are open. South Africa feels this more than most countries because so much of our traffic to Europe and Asia connects through Dubai and Doha. When the airspace over the Emirates closed on 1 March this year, the airports company counted fourteen cancellations across Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban in a single day. I explain how an airline decides, every single day, whether a flight goes: the security team, the regulator bulletins, and the flight plan built against whatever airspace is open that morning. Fewer open routes means longer flights, more fuel and less room to move when something changes. I also explain what the crew sees when GPS is being jammed or spoofed, and why that is manageable, because the aircraft has other ways to navigate and we now train for it in the full flight simulator. Then three things for you: buy the ticket that lets you change, through the airline or a proper travel agent. On the day, check the airline's own flight status, not the news. And read the war and conflict line in your travel insurance. IN THIS EPISODE The US travel alert for the UAE, read word for word What happened in the Gulf this week Which airspace is open and which is restricted Why South Africa feels it more than most countries How an airline decides every day whether a flight goes What happens when a route closes while you are in the air GPS jamming and spoofing, and why pilots can manage it Three things to do with your December ticket The regulator dates to watch: 30 September and 2 October I'm Bryan Roseveare. I was an airline captain. I still go to work on the flight deck. It's just a full flight simulator now, and the pilots I train are the ones who fly you around.

At this week's UN General Assembly, President Trump threatened to “annihilate” Iran, and defended a worldview where, as he put it, “to the victor belong the spoils.” But behind the scenes in New York, diplomacy is also underway. Top US and Iranian officials have held their first talks since the June ceasefire unraveled, mediated by Qatar. And Doha is also at the center of efforts over Gaza, from the Board of Peace to questions over its past funding of Hamas. Christiane Amanpour spoke with Qatar's prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani in New York.   Also on today's show: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte; Alon Shaya, Author, "Memories of a Good Meal"    Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid and NY correspondent Luke Tress join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's combative speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Thursday included expected themes, such as the threat Iran poses to the world and the Jewish people’s determination to stand up to antisemitism as well as attempts to annihilate them. Magid was inside the room where it happened. We delve into which props were employed this year and the surprising amount of time devoted to the prime minister's brother, Yoni Netanyahu. A few hours before Netanyahu's speech, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas delivered recorded remarks in which he railed against the United States' decision not to issue visas for the Palestinian delegation. We learn the reasons behind this and the thrust of Abbas's condemnations of Israel. Tress has also had a busy week with over half a dozen protests for and against Israel outside the United Nations. He describes the multitudes that attended and how there was something for almost everyone. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Today we're sharing a bonus episode from the WASSAP podcast, where Alan joins hosts Désirée Custers and Hubert Kinkoh to explore the growing interconnectedness of the Horn of Africa, the Gulf, and the wider Red Sea region.The conversation traces how Gulf engagement in the Horn has evolved over the past decade, examining the impact of Gulf rivalries, the war in Sudan, tensions in Yemen, and the fallout from the Iran crisis on regional security dynamics. Alan discusses how conflicts across the Red Sea increasingly spill over into the Horn, creating new patterns of competition, cooperation, and strategic alignment.A central theme of the episode is the relationship between regional geopolitics and state agency. The discussion highlights how actors in the Horn of Africa navigate external rivalries and partnerships while pursuing their own interests and ambitions. Looking ahead, Alan reflects on the challenges facing regional diplomacy and why the growing integration of the Horn, the Gulf, and the wider West Asia region remains one of the most important trends shaping the region's future.About the WASSAP podcastThe WASSAP: the Africa - West Asia Podcast translates the findings of a three-year research project on West Asian (Gulf)–Sub-Saharan African relations into an accessible, engaging audio format. It explores how economic, political, cultural, religious, and security ties between selected Gulf countries and African partners are evolving and why these shifts matter globally, particularly for Europe.Hosts of the podcast are Desirée Custers (project manager, CARPO) & Hubert Kinkoh (Senior Researcher, CARPO)About the WASSAP projectThe project explores the multi-dimensional and complex relations between selected Gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Iran) and four Sub-Saharan countries (South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia). It aims to deconstruct and analyze their economic networks, cultural and religious affiliations, and political and security cooperation. Based on empirical research, the project provides a better understanding of Gulf-African exchange, its challenges and opportunities, as well as its implications for Europe.

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Podcast, host Stu Turley sits down with Kirk Edwards, President of Latigo Petroleum, to discuss the critical energy challenges reshaping global markets. From diesel shortages and geopolitical tensions to drone warfare targeting refineries, the conversation reveals how interconnected energy security has become. Edwards and Turley explore why proposed diesel export bans would backfire, how the Ukraine war is crippling global refining capacity, and why U.S. energy policy decisions could have catastrophic consequences for the economy. With oil prices hovering around $100 per barrel and refinery utilization at dangerous levels worldwide, this episode cuts through the noise to explain what's really driving energy markets—and why North American energy cooperation is more critical than ever.We highly recommend connecting with Kirk on LinkedIn, as he is a great writer and resource.https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirk-edwards-99757412a/1. Diesel Market Crisis & Export BansThe conversation opens with the critical issue of diesel prices and the political debate around banning diesel exports. Kirk explains that a diesel export ban would be counterproductive—refiners would simply reduce capacity rather than store excess inventory, which would increase prices for all refined products (gasoline, jet fuel, asphalt, kerosene).2. Global Diesel Shortage & Geopolitical ImpactThe war in Ukraine has devastated Russia's refining capacity, creating a massive global diesel shortage. Russia, historically a major diesel exporter, now has export bans. The U.S. exports approximately 1.5 million barrels per day of diesel, representing about 20% of the world's supply—making U.S. diesel critical to global energy security.3. California's Energy CrisisCalifornia's strict regulations have driven refineries to close or relocate to Texas and the Gulf Coast. This has left California dependent on imports (50-60% of diesel from Asia), resulting in diesel prices reaching $9-10 per gallon compared to $6 in Texas—a self-inflicted wound through poor policy.4. Iranian Oil Seizures & SanctionsThree Iranian tankers carrying 6 million barrels of oil have been seized and are headed to the U.S. This represents approximately $600 million in assets and demonstrates the effectiveness of sanctions in crippling Iran's economy and ability to fund military operations.5. Ukraine-Russia Warfare & Drone AttacksThe conversation highlights how drone warfare is reshaping global energy security. Ukraine's drone attacks on Russian refineries (150 drones got through out of 600 sent) are significantly impacting global oil production. The Novorossiysk refinery was hit, taking 110,000 barrels per day offline.6. Saudi Arabia's Red Sea ChallengesHouthi attacks on Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline have forced a "shuttle diplomacy" approach—using smaller tankers to move oil through the Red Sea and Suez Canal instead of the damaged pipeline. This reduces throughput from 4-6 million barrels per day to 3-5 million.7. Global LNG & Natural Gas DisparitiesNatural gas prices vary dramatically by region—$2-3 per MCF in Texas versus $30 per MCF in Europe. Qatar's LNG infrastructure has been damaged, and the global LNG shortage will worsen during winter as storage levels are depleted.8. U.S. Tanker Fleet VulnerabilityThe U.S. has less than 0.01% of the world's commercial shipping fleet. This creates a critical vulnerability—if other nations sanction U.S. tankers, America has no fleet to maintain energy exports or security.9. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) & Global Oil ReservesApproximately 3 billion barrels of oil have been displaced since the Ukraine war began. China strategically holds 2 billion barrels in reserves, which has helped stabilize global prices. The U.S. and other nations will need to replenish depleted reserves, supporting higher oil prices.10. Canada-U.S. Energy InterdependenceThe U.S. imports 4 million barrels per day from Canada—critical sour crude needed for refinery operations. Tensions over tariffs threaten this relationship, but disrupting Canadian oil would devastate the U.S. economy and Midwest refineries. The conversation criticizes Canadian leadership for potentially aligning with the EU and China rather than supporting North American energy security.11. Optimal Oil Pricing for Energy SecurityKirk argues that $75 per barrel is the "sweet spot" for maintaining U.S. drilling activity and energy security, while $60 is too low and $100+ is unsustainable. Goldman Sachs previously predicted $200 oil if the Bab el-Mandeb Strait was blocked, but refineries are now the actual bottleneck.12. Permian Basin & Oklahoma BoomThe Permian Basin remains the heartbeat of U.S. energy production, with disciplined operators focusing on completing uncompleted wells ("ducks") rather than drilling new ones. Oklahoma is experiencing a boom similar to the Permian's early days, with new formations and shale plays emerging.At Energy News Beat, we Make Appendices Great Again.Check out the World's Greatest Podcast Show Notes at EnergyNewsBeat.co or EnergyNewsBeat.com, and the Energy News Beat Substack at: https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/A shout-out to Steve Reese and the Reese Energy Consulting group for sponsoring the Podcast https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/.Data2 if you have any business systems, can you trust A?

VOV1 - Truyền thông khu vực dẫn lời một quan chức Mỹ tối qua cho biết lượng tàu hàng đi qua eo biển Hormuz trong ngày (23/9) đạt mức khôi phục kỷ lục, gần bằng một nửa giai đoạn trước khi chiến tranh Mỹ - Iran bùng phát cuối tháng 2/2026. Tuy nhiên, thông tin chưa được các nguồn độc lập xác nhận.Cụ thể, quan chức Mỹ cho biết trong ngày 23/9, có khoảng 60 tàu thương mại đi qua eo biển Hormuz, mang theo lượng dầu thô cao nhất kể từ đầu tháng 7, lên tới 22 triệu thùng. Trong số các phương tiện lưu thông, có khoảng 40 tàu được hải quân Mỹ hộ tống và bảo vệ. Tuy nhiên, thông tin này chưa được các nguồn độc lập và đáng tin cậy xác nhận.Trong khi đó, dữ liệu phân tích hàng hải quốc tế sáng qua cho biết, trong ngày 23/9 chỉ ghi nhận 10 tàu hàng các loại vượt qua eo biển Hormuz, tăng nhẹ so với 7 tàu của ngày liền trước, nhưng vẫn thấp hơn đáng kể mức trung bình 17 tàu của giai đoạn 10 ngày gần nhất. Mặc dù vậy, thống kê cũng thừa nhận số tàu lưu thông trên thực tế có thể cao hơn con số ghi nhận, do nhiều chủ phương tiện đã chủ động tắt hệ thống định vị và định danh khi lưu thông.Eo biển Hormuz là tuyến vận tải dầu chiến lược của thế giới, chiếm khoảng 20% tổng giao dịch dầu thô toàn cầu. Trước khi chiến tranh Mỹ-Israel-Iran bùng phát cuối tháng 2/2026, trung bình mỗi ngày có từ 130-140 tàu hàng đi qua vùng biển này.Giới chức Iran chưa đưa ra bình luận về thông tin có tới 60 tàu hàng đi qua eo Hormuz ngày 23/9. Tuy nhiên, một số chuyên gia khu vực cho rằng số liệu này có thể đáng tin cậy. Nguyên do là bởi Iran có thể đã ngầm thỏa hiệp với Mỹ về tạm thời mở lại eo Hormuz, để được nới lỏng trừng phạt từ Washington.Mỹ áp đặt phong tỏa hải quân với các cảng và vùng biển của Iran từ giữa tháng 7. Hơn 2 tháng sau, Washington tuyên bố cấm toàn bộ các hãng hàng không của Iran hạ cánh trên phạm vi toàn thế giới từ ngày 23/9. Truyền thông Iran hôm qua xác nhận một loạt quốc gia khu vực và thế giới đã thông báo quyết định không tiếp nhận các máy bay Iran, trong đó có UAE, Iraq, Oman, Qatar, Azerbaijan./.Bá Thi/ VOV Ai CậpEo biển Hormuz.

Séamus Malekafzali returns to PTO to talk about the possibility of further escalation in the US war on Iran and about the prospects for a diplomatic settlement. We chatted about the position of the Gulf states, and recent comments from officials in Qatar and the UAE that called for a reset of relations with Iran. We went on to talk about the price of oil and the global and regional economic impact of the conflict, and about the state of US forces in the region, following US acknowledgement of severe damage to the US naval base in Bahrain. Finally, we talked about the recent offensive by Ansar Allah in Yemen which has given the group control of Yemen's Red Sea coast.

Autobouwers hadden het eigenlijk al een beetje opgegeven met de elektrische auto. Maar door de hoge olieprijs schaffen Europeanen hem ineens tóch aan. Vorige maand stegen de verkopen in Duitsland met 75 procent, in Frankrijk zelfs met 100 procent. Deze aflevering hebben we het over die cijfers.

Un pasaporte retenido, una deuda imposible de pagar o un contrato falso bastan hoy para someter a una persona: así funciona la esclavitud moderna. La esclavitud se abolió hace un siglo, pero nunca llegó a desaparecer: solo cambió de forma. Entre 27 y 50 millones de personas viven hoy atrapadas en el trabajo forzoso, la trata o la explotación sexual, muchas veces dentro de la economía formal. De los haratines de Mauritania a los obreros de Qatar, las víctimas de trata en Tailandia o los temporeros de los campos europeos, este episodio analiza quién la sufre, por qué persiste y si el término esclavitud ayuda realmente a combatirla. Hoy en "No es el fin del mundo" hablamos de la esclavitud en el siglo XXI.

Jorge Bustos ha recordado en 'Herrera en COPE' que el deporte trasciende el ámbito competitivo al advertir que el fútboles mucho más que un deporte, dado que las victorias y los fracasos se convierten en cuestión de orgullo nacional. De esta forma, el éxito sobre el terreno de juego abre la puerta a nuevas carreras políticas, un fenómeno que se evidencia estos días en Marruecos.En la sección ‘Traficantes de Palabras', Marta San Miguel ha explicado cómo las dinámicas deportivas se trasladan al ámbito electoral al afirmar que "lo que pasa en los palcos está cada vez más cerca de tocar las urnas".

In this week's episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I'm joined by Middle East strategist Corina Goetz to explore the opportunities for consultants and businesses looking to work in the Gulf region, and what's changed since Corina last joined me on the podcast two years ago. We talk about what's really happening on the ground in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar versus what makes the headlines, from the sectors continuing to grow and the rapid development of AI and technology to how the region is evolving amid a changing global landscape. Corina also shares how clients in the Gulf have become more sophisticated, why the approach that works with a client in New York won't necessarily land in Dubai or Riyadh, and the role of relationships, LinkedIn and digital visibility in building trust with potential clients in the Gulf. If part of scaling your consulting business means widening where your high-value clients come from, this conversation offers a fascinating look at the opportunities in the region and what you need to understand before you start opening those doors. In This Episode:  [02:00] What the opportunities in the Gulf look like today and why the picture differs across sectors [03:00] How the Gulf is advancing AI and technology and why Western businesses need to raise their game [06:00] How different media narratives can shape our understanding of what's happening in the Gulf [08:00] The working weeks, calendars and cultural expectations businesses need to understand across Gulf countries [14:00] What's really happening in Dubai and how business on the ground can differ from Western news coverage [18:00] Whether the Gulf is still a viable market for B2B consultants and why your approach needs to be tailored [20:00] The importance of relationships, in-person connection and LinkedIn when building trust in the Gulf [24:00] Corina's advice for consultants who want to begin exploring global opportunities Key Takeaways:  Don't make business decisions based on the headlines: The picture presented from outside a market isn't always the same as what's happening on the ground. If you're exploring opportunities internationally, getting closer to the market and understanding the wider context can give you a very different picture. Cultural understanding is part of doing good business: Working globally means understanding what's happening on the ground and being ready to adapt. Corina's example of a national mourning period across several Gulf states shows how quickly circumstances can change, and why taking the time to understand your clients matters. Your LinkedIn lurkers could be future clients: Decision-makers in the Gulf may be paying close attention to your content without ever liking or commenting. Your digital presence is already building trust and telling potential clients who you are before you ever enter the room. There are opportunities you don't know exist yet: Some of the most valuable B2B opportunities sit inside niches you'd never see from the outside. Staying curious about new markets can open doors you didn't even know were there. Quotes: "The companies that can adapt will go a lot further, because the clients from out there will feel understood, and they will feel, 'somebody's actually taken the time to look into us and, and see what matters to us.'" — Corina Goetz "As entrepreneurs, we often have that hunger, don't we? For like, ooh, what's the opportunity there? What's the possibility? We just need to let ourselves get excited about where these doors can open in places that you might not have known exist." — Jessica Fearnley "All the tools that we have now, especially as founders and entrepreneurs, this is so much easier than it used to be even five years ago. You can do so many things if you just think a little bit outside the box, invest a little bit in your own education, and, my God, surround yourself with the right kind of people." — Corina Goetz Useful Links Corina: Follow Corina on LinkedIn Corina's Website: star-cat.co.uk Corina's Newsletter: The Gulf Desk Jessica: Buy Jessica's book, Too Much, on Amazon Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn

On our radar this week… The battlelines are drawn in Michigan and across the nation over the tandem futures of data centers and artificial intelligence. Unlike the decades-long warnings over climate change threatening the future of the planet, the lighting speed of A-I development has catapulted the tech issue to the top tier of political issues. It seems like ancient history, but in reality it's only been a week since Donald Trump demanded fealty from the MAGA masses at his self-praising two-day “Trump is a Loser” rally in Dallas. A coalition of prominent Jewish political leaders is forming behind the candidacy of Abdul El-Sayed for the Senate. The biggest names on the list include the scion of the Levin political dynasty, former Congressman Sandy Levin, and former U.S. Senator Al Franken. Mike Rogers dodged the first scheduled U.S. Senate debate, leaving Dr. El-Sayed facing off against an empty lectern … and responding to a grilling from a TV journalist, Fox-Detroit reporter Roop Raj, accused by Rogers of being a Democratic sympathizer. A new study shows widespread confidence in our elections among Michigan voters. Three-quarters of those polled say they are certain the November election will be fair, secure and accurate. Other findings in the poll: More than 85% of voters trust their local elections, believing local elections are fair and accurate. Two-thirds of Michigan voters support states having power over elections, as Article 1, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution stipulates.  A majority of Michigan voters are not concerned about noncitizens voting, reflecting a 16-point swing from 2025, when more voters worried about noncitizen voting. Nearly 6 in 10 voters oppose the state surrendering private voter data to the federal government, which is suing Michigan for personal information, even though a federal judge has blocked the Trump Administration. More than 61% of voters support the U.S. Department of Justice sending monitors to Michigan to observe the November elections. The bottom line in the fall campaign is the cost of living, and that's getting even worse for Republicans. The average price of gas in Michigan has soared to $4.75/gallon with many areas seeing $5/gallon gas. That's an increase of $1.56 from a year ago. Diesel fuel – which impacts the shipping of just about everything – is a staggering $6.32/gallon. That works out to around $1/mile to fuel a typical freight-hauling tractor trailer. A typical big rig holds 300 gallons – meaning up to $1,900 for a fill-up. U.S. consumers have collectively spent about $107 billion more on gasoline and diesel during the Iran conflict and disruptions from the Russia-Ukraine conflict than they would have had there been no war, according to estimates by the Climate Solutions Lab at Brown University. That averages to more than $500 million a day since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran. Donald Trump's in a fiscal funk after the Fed raises interest rates. He's threatening to cut off trade with the world if the Fed doesn't reverse itself, even after declaring economic war on our neighbors in Canada. He's also fuming over a court decision preventing his stooges on the Kennedy Center Board from adding his name to the building. In his latest tantrum he's threatening to tear down the building if he can't put his name on the monument to John Kennedy, with a news photographer catching Trump reviewing a plan to demolish the DC landmark. The forever war in Iran, record deficits, inflation going up, a trade war with Canada, record-smashing corruption, a pre-occupation with building monuments to Donald Trump: the GOP message – it's all Joe Biden's fault, at least, in the eyes of J.D. Vance. That seems to be the definition of political desperation. And in the firehose of corruption flowing out of DC, we don't even have time to talk about Putin's buddy paying for Don Junior's wedding, Dad turning DC's public golf courses into country clubs, the entire family cashing out their crypto company after making billions at the expense of the MAGA flock, the continued Epstein files coverup, the Attorney General crossing the line into outright political campaigning, Bobby Kennedy Junior's pledge to champion the cause of anti-vaxxers, the House Speaker Mike Johnson shutting down the do-nothing House to avoid a Pete Hegseth impeachment vote, the hundreds of millions to train pilots to fly Trump's so-called free Qatar airplane, the continuing expensive saga of the Reflecting Pool or the White House power struggle between Melania and Natalie. Since convening in January 2025, the 119th Congress has passed 108 major laws — and only 36 this year. Up to this point on the calendar, no Congress has passed fewer laws in modern American political history — except for the last Congress, which was also led by Johnson> © Clay Jones – https://claytoonz.substack.com ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Subscribe to our YouTube channel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Republic, If You Can Keep It is supported by
