PRESS REVIEW – Monday, June 2: French papers discuss the "day of jubilation" after PSG's Champions League win. Next, the media analyse Ukraine's "bold" strike on Russia's military aviation. Also, papers report on Bulgaria's fight against the adoption of the euro. Finally, we bring you some health news: from Ozempic's questionable long-term effects to good news in cancer treatment research. After Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League victory on Saturday, the story is still on the front pages of most French dailies. Left-wing Libération writes that "Paris is well worth a jubilation". The paper says that the win resonated across France all weekend. In a similar tone, Le Parisien's front page says "Day of jubilation". The Parisian daily is talking about Sunday's festivities across Paris, and how fans got to celebrate with their beloved football stars. The paper calls it "A sweet madness". But with two people dead and hundreds arrested, the victory wasn't that sweet. Right-wing daily Le Figaro also mentions the post-win violence on its front page, where the title of an editorial reads "Paris can no longer be a party". The article condemns the aftermath of the match and all the "sirens, knives, injured police officers and even deaths". It says that "thugs" and "gangs" tried to invade the ring road around Paris and the Champs-Élysées. “The issue is no longer one of security, it's one of culture," says the article, blaming "uncivilised barbarians" for causing the destruction. An article in L'Opinion says that "on Saturday evening, euphoria gave way to chaos". It asks how a football win can "generate such an impulse for hatred and destruction", adding that scenes in London, Madrid or Manchester after a victory aren't the same. After a major attack on Russia's military aviation on Sunday, Kyiv claims it has destroyed nearly 40 aircraft and struck thousands of kilometres inside Russia's borders. The Financial Times calls it a "bold" strike "deep inside Russian territory". The Ukrainian intelligence service, the SBU, says they'd been preparing the operation for over a year. In an opinion piece, The Washington Post says that "Ukraine just rewrote the rules of war". It adds that the Ukrainians revealed a vulnerability that shows the need for a "massive investment in counter-drone systems". Ukrainian daily The Kyiv Post writes that US President Donald Trump wasn't given a heads-up about the attack. An official told the paper that the operation was "purely Ukrainian" and the US didn't have anything to do with it. As for reactions from the Russian side, Radio Free Europe's team in Siberia spoke to Russians there, who "appeared to be shaken". "Now the war has reached us too," they told the paper. The article writes that many Russians had thus far only seen and felt the war from afar. Moving to Eastern Europe, Bulgarians have been protesting against the adoption of the euro. The Bulgarian Telegraph Agency reports that protests have been held in several cities across the country. The demonstrators are asking for a referendum vote so that they can choose whether to keep the Bulgarian lev or switch to the euro. Radio Free Europe reports that it will be decided this week whether the euro will be adopted from next year, with the European Commission expected to greenlight the move. The paper notes that this comes despite the many protesters who carry Russian flags and have expressed anti-European sentiments. Some Bulgarians say they fear that adopting the euro will lead to even more corruption and inflation in the country. According to a survey, 50 percent of Bulgarians are against the euro's adoption.We finish with some health news. British daily The Standard reports that using weight loss drugs might not lead to the desired effects, according to research. It talks about side effects like so-called Ozempic teeth or oral health problems and more serious health issues like hypoglycemia. The results are also not long-lasting, as a lot of people who stop taking the drug return to their original weight within a year. On the brighter side, the fight against cancer is advancing. The Financial Times reports that AstraZeneca has unveiled a drug that can stop mutating tumours before they start to grow. AstraZeneca said that it hopes to become "the number one cancer company globally". The Independent writes about another study, this time on colon cancer. Researchers have found that regular exercise can reduce the risk of death by more than a third. The scientists hope the findings will show doctors that including exercise plans is crucial for cancer patients. You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Emily Jashinsky, Washington correspondent for the Unherd website, discuss Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s announcement that the CDC will no longer recommend Covid 19 shots for healthy children and pregnant women. Also, is the bromance between Elon Musk and President Trump breaking up over Trump's budget bill? They also talk about what Artificial Intelligence may mean for white collar workers in the information economy and whether AI will be a major issue in the 2028 elections. Next, RCP National Correspondent Susan Crabtree discusses with Tom her latest RCP article on how one California high school's decision to invite an expert on BDSM to speak to students met with parental resistance. The incident may prove a test case for The Trump Administration's policy of “ending radical indoctrination” in K-12 schools across the country. And finally, Andrew talks with Jeffrey Gedmin, president and CEO of the Middle East Broadcast Networks, about his legal battle to keep the service going as the Trump Administration seeks to defund MBN, along with the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe and other federally funded overseas broadcasters.

Traian grew up in Romania during the tumultuous 1980s under the shadow of the communist regime of Nicolae Ceaușescu. We learn about the harsh realities of life under communism, where shortages of basic goods were commonplace. He shares the clever tactics he and his family employed to navigate these challenges, including trading items with tourists and listening to forbidden radio stations like Radio Free Europe for music and news. These experiences shaped his understanding of the world outside Romania, igniting a desire for freedom and change. The narrative takes a dramatic turn as the Romanian revolution unfolds in December 1989. Traian recounts the fear and uncertainty that gripped the nation as protests erupted, leading to the eventual overthrow of Ceaușescu. He vividly describes his school trip during this pivotal moment and the surreal experience of returning home to a city forever changed by the events of those days.

La voix de l'Amérique va-t-elle être réduite au silence ou instrumentalisée par des médias complotistes proches de la sphère Trump ? La diffusion de la radio VOA a été suspendue par les autorités, le 15 mars 2025, et les contrats de certains collaborateurs pourraient prendre fin dans quelques jours. L'inquiétude est palpable, chez les 1 400 employés et contractuels de Voice of America. Le démantèlement de VOA constituerait un recul important de la liberté de la presse dans le monde.  Les ultra-conservateurs américains sont-ils en train de transformer les médias publics en instrument de propagande à leur profit ? Il s'agit d'une dérive autoritaire au détriment de la liberté d'informer, estime Maud Quessard, directrice du domaine « Europe, espace transatlantique, Russie » à l'Institut de recherche stratégique de l'École militaire (Irsem) :« L'objectif premier de VOA était de lutter contre l'appareil de propagande de l'Allemagne Nazie, en 1942, par la suite, la radio va connaitre un regain d'intérêt au moment de la guerre froide, en devenant la voix du monde libre, au-delà du rideau de fer », explique-t-elle. Ces dernières années, ces médias ont notamment été employés pour documenter la guerre en Ukraine après l'invasion de la Russie. « Les premières images du conflit en Ukraine sont tournées par des équipes de Radio Free Europe et Radio Liberty », rappelle cette spécialiste de la diplomatie publique des États-Unis.Ces chaînes font partie d'un large consortium qui regroupe les médias publics américains sous la désignation U.S Agency for Global Media (USAGM). Maud Quessard souligne que « ces médias peuvent aussi financer des journalistes locaux, qui sont souvent des journalistes qui travaillent pour maintenir un certain pluralisme et donc lutter contre la parole officielle dans des régimes autocratiques ».« L'enjeu ici est celui de la liberté de la presse aux États-Unis »Par le passé, les républicains ne se sont jamais attaqués aux médias publics à destination de l'étranger lorsque le pays a connu des alternances politiques. On est de ce fait entré dans une nouvelle dimension avec la politique conduite par l'équipe Trump. Cela étant, il y a des gardes fous. « Ces médias publics à destination de l'étranger sont financés par le congrès, et leur ligne éditoriale doit être autonome, donc l'enjeu ici est celui de la liberté de la presse aux États-Unis, nous sommes face à une politisation de l'appareil d'État, mais il ne parait pas faisable que le congrès laisse confisquer par l'exécutif un média public comme Voice of America. On serait alors confronté à une dérive très importante du pouvoir de Donald Trump », conclut-elle. La désinformation au cœur des tensions entre l'Inde et le PakistanAprès une escalade militaire ayant provoqué la mort de plus de 70 personnes, l'Inde et le Pakistan ont convenu d'un accord de cessez-le-feu le samedi 10 mai 2025. Si les armes se sont tues, la guerre de l'information, elle, se poursuit entre New Delhi et Islamabad. D'un côté comme de l'autre, des comptes de propagande continuent de diffuser massivement des fausses informations afin de présenter leur pays comme le vainqueur de cette confrontation. Dans sa chronique, Grégory Genevrier s'est penché sur la « guerre des deepfakes » entre l'Inde et le Pakistan.

Season Two of On the Media's Peabody-winning series The Divided Dial is the untold story of shortwave radio: the way-less-listened to but way-farther-reaching cousin of AM and FM radio. The medium was once heralded as a utopian, international, and instantaneous mass communication tool — a sort of internet-before-the-internet. But like the internet, it also took a turn for the chaotic. And like AM and FM talk radio, it also went hard to the right, with extremists and cults still finding a home on the shortwaves EPISODE 1:You know AM and FM radio. But did you know that there is a whole other world of radio surrounding us at all times? It's called shortwave — and, thanks to a quirk of science that lets broadcasters bounce radio waves off of the ionosphere, it can reach thousands of miles, penetrating rough terrain and geopolitical boundaries. How did this instantaneous, global, mass communication tool — a sort of internet-before-the-internet — go from a utopian experiment in international connection to a hardened tool of information warfare and propaganda?  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

On today's episode, we break down how Radio Free Europe just might be the key to preserving the separation of powers in America. We talk the Tucker Act and all of the pretextual, vapid, and/or just plain wrong arguments coming out of Trump's Department of Justice. Perkins Coie wins their case in front of Our Favorite Beryl, a dingus is trying to sue Chief Justice John Roberts, and Maine's Governor Janet Mills promised the President she'd see him in court. Four days later, the administration caved, meaning Maine kids will get to eat their school lunches after all.    Links: Trump Admin Unveils Exciting Plan To Magic Away Impoundment Lawsuits https://www.lawandchaospod.com/p/trump-admin-unveils-exciting-plan   RFE/RL v.

04-21-2025 Tariffs Create Confusion For "Radio Free Europe"------------------------Tariffs on in transit. Tariffs out in transit. How do we Free Europe? Where to go?Event risk remains high, but implied volatility did slip for Easter. With the bulls and bears in a stalemate like Trump and Xi, will the bearish long-end pull mortgage rates up, or will the bullish 5-year and short-end push rates down?Amid confusion and noise over tariffs, will bewilderment continue to reign? Expect April showers to bring beautiful news that trumps the stormy narrative.Barrier Free EuropeBarrier Free Europe------------------------Song: Radio Free Europe (1981) R.E.M.

The Tech Bros., like Elon Musk and JD Vance puppetmaster Peter Thiel, see Trump as a means to an end: to build their own tech-state fiefdoms as they usher in the A.I. age, at the expense of us peasants. But can this unholy alliance survive Trump's disastrous trade war? And why do they fetishize hating Ukraine?  This week's special guest, Adrian Karatnycky, has been on the frontlines fighting for democracy both at home and abroad. In his critically acclaimed book Battleground Ukraine, Adrian traces Ukraine's struggle for independence from the fall of the Soviet Union to Russia's genocidal invasion today, drawing important lessons for protecting democracies worldwide. He has worked alongside civil rights legend Bayard Rustin and the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in America. He also supported Poland's Solidarity movement, which helped bring down the Iron Curtain, and played a key role, along with iconic Soviet dissident, writer, and Czech statesman Václav Havel, in preserving Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in the 1990s, when many thought the Cold War had ended.  In part two, we discuss the PayPal Mafia's war on Ukraine as part of a broader global assault on "wokeism" (a.k.a. Empathy and democracy), Adrian's impressions of meeting Curtis Yarvin, and how the war in Ukraine can ultimately end. For part one of their discussion, available in the show notes, Andrea and Adrian explore how Europe and the free world can survive the chaos of Trump's America First isolationism and Russia's weaponized corruption and election interference.  Thank you to everyone who joined the Gaslit Nation Salon live-taping with Patrick Guarasci and Sam Roecker, senior campaign advisors for Judge Susan Crawford, discussing their victory against Elon Musk in the pivotal Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

Plus de financement américain, plus de transmission satellite. Le président Donald Trump a signé l'arrêt de mort Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. La radio internationale aux 50 millions d'auditeurs avait été fondée en Europe en pleine guerre froide pour émettre dans les pays du bloc communiste. La semaine dernière, elle émettait encore en langue étrangère vers la Russie, la Biélorussie, la Chine ou l'Iran. Sa rédaction basée à Prague veut encore y croire, mais il faudrait un sursaut européen. Reportage en République tchèque signé Alexis Rosenzweig. La paix en Ukraine, vue par le GEAB , la revue d'anticipation politique Les négociations pour un cessez-le-feu et la paix patinent en Ukraine. Les bombardements se poursuivent malgré une trêve limitée décrétée sur les infrastructures énergétiques... Comment imaginer la suite, c'est tout l'objet de la revue d'anticipation politique GEAB. Marie-Hélène Caillol, directrice de publication de la revue, explique, à partir de l'article Paix Ukraine au-delà de l'Otan, comment le président américain aurait la capacité de mettre un terme à cette guerre. Une analyse qui s'écarte des sentiers battus.La prochaine grosse coalition, la « Groko », en AllemagneLes tractations vont toujours bon train en Allemagne pour la formation d'un nouveau gouvernement qui devrait sans surprise réunir les chrétiens démocrates autour de la figure de Friedrich Merz et les sociaux-démocrates. Une coalition qui pourrait ressembler à ce que les Allemands appellent un « Groko », une grosse coalition… Delphine Nerbollier.Les gitans d'Espagne réclament des droitsC'est en Espagne qu'on trouve une des plus grandes communautés gitanes d'Europe. Une des plus anciennes aussi, 600 ans depuis l'arrivée des premiers migrants dans le pays, en provenance d'Égypte. Mais en cette Journée mondiale du peuple gitan, la minorité a voulu donner de la voix. Rappeler qu'elle reste une des plus discriminées malgré le nombre des années passées sur le territoire. Reportage à Madrid de François Musseau.

Basée à Prague depuis 30 ans, Radio Free Europe est dans la tourmente ces dernières semaines, Elon Musk et Donald Trump ayant décidé que ce média public américain, tout comme Voice of America, ne devait plus être financé par l'État. Cette radio diffuse dans une trentaine de langues et cible prioritairement des pays où la presse n'est pas libre. Le gouvernement tchèque est rapidement monté au créneau pour défendre cette station et ses journalistes, mais les derniers développements ne sont guère encourageants. Le satellite permettant la transmission de la chaîne de télévision en langue russe de Radio Free Europe en Russie, Current Time, a été éteint jeudi 3 avril par les États-Unis. Propagandiste en chef du Kremlin, Margarita Simonian, directrice du média Russia Today, n'a pas caché sa joie à l'annonce de la fin du financement de Radio Free Europe, allant même jusqu'à parler d'un jour de fête pour la Russie.À Prague, en République Tchèque, l'arrêt des subventions, même s'il est contesté en justice, a pour conséquence la mise au chômage technique d'une partie du personnel. « Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty a une mission très particulière. Nous opérons dans des régions dans lesquelles la liberté de la presse n'est plus autorisée, ou bien est fortement restreinte. Grâce à notre travail, nous sommes devenus une bouée de sauvetage pour les membres de notre audience. Nos auditeurs sont en quête d'informations fiables et précises sur ce qui se passe dans leur propre pays et dans le monde », estime Stephen Capus, son directeur, qui refuse de baisser les bras. L'audience de Radio Free Europe est estimée à 50 millions de personnes par semaine, avec un fort impact également sur les réseaux sociaux. Preuve s'il en fallait que ce média américain, important durant la guerre froide, conserve un certain prestige et une certaine raison d'être, encore aujourd'hui.Le média américain, qui a renouvelé sa rédaction hongroise et qui possède encore des services roumains et bulgares, dérange dans de nombreux pays. Son antenne kirghize, Radio Azattyk, a été interdite par Bichkek en 2023. La documentariste tchèque Veronika Janatková vient de produire un film sur le travail d'un des journalistes de cette antenne. « C'est absolument essentiel, souligne-t-elle. Au Kirghizistan, cette affaire de corruption, qui est au cœur du documentaire, traîne depuis 2019. Mais une enquête journalistique de ce type n'aurait probablement pas été possible là-bas. En 2023, Radio Free Europe/Radio Azattyk, la section kirghize, a déjà été interdite dans le pays. Le fait qu'il ait existé une institution soutenant ce type de recherche et de journalisme en faisait le seul espace où de telles informations pouvaient être publiées. »Le chef de la diplomatie tchèque, Jan Lipavský, a tenté de motiver ses homologues européens à sauver cette radio basée à Prague depuis 30 ans. Mais rien n'est encore acquis pour l'heure, surtout que le budget annuel représenté en 2024 environ 142 millions de dollars.À lire aussiRépublique tchèque: Prague appelle à des discussions au sein de l'UE pour sauver Radio Free Europe

Ytringsfrihed, er det ikke noget, de bare har i USA? Donald Trump gik til valg på at sige, at nej, det har amerikanerne ikke, for de liberale i USA og i Europa undertrykker konservative synspunkter. Og kun han kunne give amerikanerne retten til free speech tilbage. Men efter to måneder med Trump som præsident ser det ud til, at hans ytringsfrihed kun gælder dem, der er enige med ham. Han forsøger systematisk at kue stemmer, der er kritiske, og han forfølger folk, der bruger ord, han ikke kan lide. Han lægger sig ud med medierne, universiteterne, advokatkontorerne og kulturinstitutionerne. Og han gør det med brutale og åbenlyst autokratiske metoder, som ikke er set før i mange årtier i USA. Dagens panel bestående af Jesper Thobo-Carlsen og Simon Lund forklarer, hvordan ytringsfriheden i USA er ved at smuldre. Og får undervejs vendt både George Orwells ikoniske roman ’1984’ og rockbandet R.E.M.’s gennembrudshit ’Radio Free Europe’.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Europe is set to spend an eye-wateringly huge amount of money on building up its militaries over the next few years, after That Guy In The White House signalled he's no longer that interested in helping us defend ourselves against Russia. But where is all this money supposed to come from? And does it matter if some countries are more enthusiastic about this plan than others? This week we call defence expert Marina Henke to figure out what this spending bonanza actually involves. We're also talking about a Czech-led plan to save Radio Free Europe from Trump's cuts, and why ChatGPT falsely accused a Norwegian man of murder.   Marina is a professor of international Relations at the Hertie School in Berlin and director of the Centre for International Security.

CannCon and Ashe in America break down a massive day in political warfare, from Speaker Mike Johnson's not-so-veiled threat to defund or abolish rogue courts to the shocking escalation in SignalGate. They dig into the full Signal thread leak, the classified comms mess, and what it reveals about espionage, infiltration, and how deep the rot really goes. Trump drops two major executive orders, one pardoning Devin Archer and another nuking the lawfare pipeline propping up election fraud. They also torch USAID, Radio Free Europe, abortion mills, and foreign-born judges running D.C. courts like a banana republic. Buckle up. This one goes deep.  

Tom Kent ran Radio Free Europe/Radio Free Asia and is a longtime Russia watcher at the Associated Press. He talks to Lawfare Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Wittes about President Trump's executive order dismantling Voice of America and Radio Free Europe.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

The U.S. government has announced it will stop funding Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty—a station that once played a vital role in Czechoslovakia's fight for freedom. In the weekend edition of Czechia in 30 minutes, journalist and historian Petr Brod shares personal memories of working at RFE/RL in Munich and later in Prague. From newsroom "tribalism" to the station's mission during the Cold War, Brod offers a rare inside look at one of the most influential broadcasters of the 20th century.

The Trump administration has cut funding for Voice of America, the 80-year-old state media network. On this week's On the Media, how pulling federal funds from VOA's parent organization will imperil press freedom abroad. Plus, a Radio Free Europe journalist describes being detained for nine months in Russia until she was released alongside Evan Gershkovich.[01:00] Host Micah Loewinger speaks with Nicole Hemmer, political historian and co-host of the podcast “This Day.” They discuss the complicated history of Voice of America, which was founded in 1942 to counter Nazi propaganda. Plus, what the funding cuts to VOA and its parent organization tell us about how the Trump administration wants the U.S. to be perceived.[15:57] Host Micah Loewinger sits down with Alsu Kurmasheva, press freedom advocate and veteran journalist of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's Tatar-Bashkir service, on what the network provides in countries lacking a free press and her own nine month detention in Russia. Plus, Bay Fang, president of Radio Free Asia, or RFA, on why authoritarians are celebrating Trump's shutdown and how RFA's closure will further diminish press freedom in Asia. [33:35] Host Brooke Gladstone chats with Dorian Lynskey, cultural journalist and author of the recent book, Everything Must Go: The Stories We Tell About the End of the World, to examine our centuries-long obsession with telling end-of-the-world stories and what they reveal about our shifting fears through history. Plus, the evolution of the apocalyptic story, from the Book of Revelation to On the Beach to Station Eleven. Further reading:Everything Must Go: The Stories We Tell About the End of the World, by Dorian Lynksey On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

Volkswagen's subsidiary Audi brand said this week that it is examining various long-term strategies, including potentially shifting production to America, to deal with President Donald Trump's restrictions on foreign imports. Audi CEO Gernot Döllner said that the company is “currently assessing various scenarios for additional localization in North America – among other things, to be closer to the needs of local customers and to make ourselves more resilient to global economic uncertainties.”Although no firm decision was made this week, the German auto giant said that it would be announcing later this year where it intends to produce its primary vehicle models for the American market.

The CIA were controlling mass media and were controlling groups like the Black Panthers to conduct protests. Kinda sounds similar to BLM doesn't it? Then President JFK shows up to the briefing, and suggests that CIA covert action programs are outside the scope of the CIA's supposed primary intelligence gathering mission, and was not worth the taxpayer money. This is why the CIA didn't like JFK. He was onto their schemes, and was trying to shut them down.   I thought they were only allowed to work on foreign issues?

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss President Trump's orders to deport 137 alleged Venezuelan gang members, as well as the deportation of a Lebanese doctor with an H1B visa and a teaching position at Brown University. Is the clash between the courts and the White House on immigration policy coming to a head? They also talk about Donald Trump's social media post challenging the legitimacy of Joe Biden's pardons because they were signed by autopen. Plus, the cold war between the press and the White House continues at the Gridiron Dinner this past weekend and the upcoming White House Correspondents Dinner, two signature spring social events for the Washington press. Next, Andrew Walworth interviews Jeffrey Gedmin, president and CEO of the Middle East Broadcasting Networks, on this weekend's executive order cutting support for the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and other public diplomacy organizations funded by the US government. And finally, Tom Bevan interviews Nicole Russell, columnist for USA Today, about the state of the US economy. She argues that inflation will cool, interest rates will drop and consumer confidence will return, all as a result of Trump's policies.

In this episode, I sit down with John O'Sullivan, a former policy and speech writer for British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and former editor-in-chief of National Review and executive editor of Radio Free Europe. Today, he's the president of the Danube Institute, a Hungary-based think-tank.A “unified national identity is an absolute essential for a successful democracy,” he says. “If we continue on a multicultural path, it's a path which is going to go in the directions of ever more aggressive and hostile identity politics, and people will feel that their neighbors are their enemies.”O'Sullivan's latest book is titled: “Sleepwalking into Wokeness: How We Got Here.”“The idea of post-nationalism is unachievable if you're a state. You don't remain just a post-national state, what you become is something else,” he says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
