Damien Van Puyvelde, "The DGSE: A Concise History of France's Foreign Intelligence Service" (Georgetown UP, 2026)

France is a leading intelligence power, but we know very little about its premier intelligence agency: the Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure (DGSE). Damien Van Puyvelde's latest book, The DGSE: A Concise History of France's Foreign Intelligence Service (Georgetown University Press, 2026), examines France's foreign intelligence service from its rebranding as the DGSE in 1982 to the present. It covers the legacies of the Second World War, how decolonization and the Cold War shaped the organization, the organization's workforce and leadership, as well as public and (pop) cultural perceptions and representations of intelligence in France. The emergence of the DGSE, following the election of socialist President Mitterrand, opened an era of change, marked by a series of reorganizations and new threats over the horizon. Some readers will recall the Rainbow Warrior fiasco, when DGSE operators sank Greenpeace's flagship, causing the death of a photographer in 1985. Others will be more familiar with the popular TV show The Bureau, which portrays the lives of non-official cover DGSE officers operating in contemporary hotspots. These vignettes, just like much of the media coverage, paint a misleading portrait of the DGSE as a group of dedicated but reckless officers. Van Puyvelde shows how France's leading intelligence agency has successfully adapted to political and security requirements from the late Cold War to today's international security threats.

Mamilos no Rainbow Warrior: Jurema Werneck e Carol Pasquali falam sobre Clima e AtivismoPara abrir a temporada de 2026, o Mamilos te convida a repensar caminhos e prioridades e fazer um exercício raro de imaginação prática: que mundo a gente quer viver, que cidade a gente quer habitar e o que esse futuro pede de nós. É um convite para “esperançar” — não ingenuidade, mas uma perspectiva possibilista que encara escolhas duras e ações difíceis para tirar esse futuro do papel.Gravado a bordo do Rainbow Warrior, navio do Greenpeace, este episódio do Mamilos é um guia direto (e sem “climês”) para entender o que as COPs estão — e não estão — entregando, e por que isso não é assunto distante: é calor extremo, enchente, comida, preço, cidade e saúde. Na conversa, Carol Pasquali traduz o que sai de uma COP em decisões, lacunas e números — do tamanho do corte que a ciência pede ao que os países realmente colocam na mesa. Jurema Werneck puxa o fio político: quem ganha, quem perde, como justiça climática vira vida digna e por que “cidadania dá trabalho” quando o assunto é fazer lei e promessa saírem do papel. E com Laila Zaid, a gente faz a ponte essencial entre cenário e ação: como a cultura pode quebrar a paralisia do medo e sustentar imaginação, coragem e mobilização. Você vai encontrar, ao longo do episódio:O que uma COP decide (e o que costuma ficar de fora) sobre transição energética, combustíveis fósseis, desmatamento e adaptaçãoComo traduzir clima para o cotidiano: café, chocolate, custo de vida e infraestrutura das cidadesUm exercício de “melhor futuro possível” sem ingenuidade: como seria uma cidade habitável O “como” de verdade: pressão pública, rua, redes, comunidade e sociedade civil organizadaSe “COP” te dá sono, este episódio foi feito pra te acordar — e te levar da indignação para um mapa de ação.

The latest episode of Hawaiʻi Football Final, a Hawaiʻi Sports 2Night production, looked back at one of the most memorable moments in University of Hawaiʻi football history, a comeback for the ages in the 22nd Hawaiʻi Bowl.KHON2 Sports Director Rob DeMello was joined by Rainbow Warriors senior offensive lineman and co-captain Zhen Sotelo as the show revisited Hawaiʻi's 35-31 victory over California on Christmas Eve, a nationally televised thriller that capped an unforgettable season in Mānoa.Hawaiʻi trailed 21-0 in the first half before digging deep across all three phases to mount a stunning rally. Freshman quarterback Micah Alejado, named Mountain West Freshman of the Year, played through heavy contact to throw for 274 yards and three touchdowns. Hawaiʻi Bowl MVP Pofele Ashlock hauled in 14 receptions for 123 yards and two scores as the Warriors outscored the Golden Bears 35-10 down the stretch.The defining moment came with 15 seconds remaining. Trailing by three, Hawaiʻi faced sudden adversity when Alejado was knocked out of the game after a late hit. Backup quarterback Luke Weaver was called upon to deliver in the game's biggest moment, and did just that, dropping a 22-yard go-ahead touchdown pass to senior receiver Nick Cenacle.The play, quickly etched into Hawaiʻi football lore, sealed the Warriors' first Hawaiʻi Bowl victory since 2010 and completed a comeback that will be remembered among the program's greatest moments.Head coach Timmy Chang, in his fourth season, closed out a 9-4 campaign that saw Hawaiʻi bookend the year with wins over ACC opponents Stanford and California, further signaling the program's resurgence under his leadership.On Hawaiʻi Football Final, DeMello and Sotelo reflected on the emotional weight of the victory, the belief inside the locker room while trailing by three touchdowns, and the confidence the team had in Weaver when he stepped into the huddle for the final play.The episode also featured the “HFF Mailbox” segment, answering viewer-submitted questions, and looked ahead to what's next for the Rainbow Warriors following a season that reignited excitement around Hawaiʻi football.Hawaiʻi Football Final premieres every Sunday at 7 p.m. on the KHON+ app, available on Apple TV, Roku and Firestick.

The University of Hawaiʻi football team's postseason return took center stage on the latest episode of Hawaii Football Final, as KHON2 Sports Director Rob DeMello was joined by ESPN Honolulu and KHON2 analyst John Veneri to break down the Rainbow Warriors' upcoming Sheraton Hawaii Bowl matchup and the major storylines surrounding the program.Hawaiʻi is set to make its 15th bowl game appearance in program history when it faces California on Christmas Eve. The matchup brings added intrigue, as Cal will be led by interim head coach Nick Rolovich, who returns to the islands to face his former University of Hawaiʻi teammate and current Rainbow Warriors head coach Timmy Chang.Chang, recently named an AFCA Regional Coach of the Year, is aiming to guide Hawaiʻi to its ninth victory of the season. Both teams have shifted into bowl game preparations with full game-week practices underway.A major focus of the discussion centered on the head coaching matchup between Chang and Rolovich, whose relationship dates back 25 years to their arrival on UH's lower campus as quarterbacks competing for the starting role. Both eventually earned their opportunities and went on to leave lasting legacies in the program, adding a unique layer to the upcoming showdown.The quarterback storyline extends onto the field as well, with both teams led by left-handed quarterbacks from ʻEwa Beach. Hawaiʻi will be guided by Mountain West Freshman of the Year Micah Alejado, while Cal counters with freshman All-American Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele. While the quarterbacks share similar roots, DeMello and Veneri discussed how each presents different challenges within their respective offensive schemes.Roster movement in the modern college football landscape was also a key topic. Alejado recently announced he will return for the 2026 season after re-signing with the program, a significant development for the Rainbow Warriors amid the era of NIL and the transfer portal. However, Hawaiʻi will be without Alejado's top receiving target, Jackson Harris, who has departed the program with plans to enter the transfer portal.DeMello and Veneri weighed the importance of retaining Hawaiʻi's quarterback of the future while also addressing the impact of roster turnover as the Rainbow Warriors prepare for their bowl appearance.Hawaii Football Final airs every Sunday at 7 p.m. on the KHON+ app, available on Apple TV, Roku and Firestick, with a television rebroadcast Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. on KHON2.

Harris caught 153 of Alejado's 289 passing yards, including a 78-yard touchdown strike that helped ignite momentum.Special teams contributed to the effort as senior kicker Kansei Matsuzawa, a Lou Groza Award finalist, tied the FBS record for most consecutive field goals to start a season at 25 before missing his first attempt of the year.

(It seems unlikely but possible.)* A big FCS interlude: Harvard and Yale play for a playoff berth as the Ivy League enters a new era, while the Brawl of the Wild decides the Big Sky* James Franklin's Virginia Tech debut weekend: an unusually early coaching transition that could reshape VT's portal and staff hiring timeline* Pitt–Georgia Tech, an ACC semifinal of sorts that doesn't feel like one* Kansas State–Utah, the latest check on whether anyone can stay within 24 points of the Utes either way* BYU–Cincinnati, a Nippert Stadium night game and classic Dad Water Home Dog of the Week opportunity for the Bearcats, even off two losses* Arizona State–Colorado, where Kenny Dillingham keeps grinding out competitive football despite missing his best playmakers. (Note: We recorded this before reports started flying about Sam Leavitt possibly entering the transfer portal)* Cal–Stanford, a classic ACC test* USC-Oregon: THE MAIN COURSE, presented by Modelo. ESPN's West Coast CFB reporter extraordinaire Paolo Uggetti has covered both of these teams in person frequently. He stops by to tell us how much he's believing in Lincoln Riley, how Dante Moore is different from other bucket-getting Oregon QBs of the recent past, and what he thinks will happen in Eugene.And many more!
