Podcasts about Referendum

Is playing an extremely tough regular-season schedule a good idea in the era of a 12-team College Football Playoff, or is it akin to shooting yourself in the foot? Well, we are about to find out this year given Ohio State's brutal slate that includes three teams widely ranked within the top-5 nationally (Texas, Indiana, Oregon), plus three other squads that are expected to be ranked (USC, Michigan, Iowa). The season will serve as a referendum of sorts on tough schedules, at least from the Buckeyes' point of view.Also, Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin react to Phil Steele's Big Ten standings predictions, and talk about the recruiting hot streak the Buckeyes are on.That and much more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Wir beginnen unser Programm mit einem Rückblick auf einige aktuelle Ereignisse. Der britische Premierminister ist nur zwei Jahre nach seinem massiven Wahlsieg zurückgetreten. Können westliche Regierungschefs daraus eine Lehre ziehen? Ist Starmers Rücktritt ein Zeichen für eine Krise der westlichen Demokratien? Anschließend sprechen wir über Trumps unaufhörliche Beleidigungen gegenüber den europäischen Regierungschefs. Haben diese nun die Nase voll davon? Markiert die Beleidigung der italienischen Ministerpräsidentin einen Wendepunkt? In unserem Wissenschaftsthema sprechen wir heute über eine faszinierende Studie, die untersucht, warum manche Schmetterlinge 25-mal länger leben als andere. Und zum Schluss sprechen wir über eine Krise in Boston. Den Kneipen der Stadt ist das Bier ausgegangen! Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf Adverbs of Manner – Part 2. In Einrichtungen des öffentlichen Lebens wie im Supermarkt ist man einer Vielzahl von Reizen ausgesetzt. Für die meisten Menschen gehört dies zum Alltag und stellt kein Problem dar. Einige Menschen leiden jedoch unter dieser Reizüberflutung und können deshalb nicht immer richtig am öffentlichen Leben teilnehmen. Abhilfe schafft nun die sogenannte „Stille Stunde". Die Redewendung dieser Woche ist seinen Senf dazugeben. In der Schweiz gab es ein Referendum über einen Bevölkerungsdeckel, der die Bevölkerung des Landes bis 2050 auf 10 Millionen Menschen begrenzt hätte. Die Wähler in der Schweiz haben ihren Senf dazugegeben und dieses Vorhaben mit 54,8 % relativ deutlich abgelehnt. Starmers Rücktritt: Westliche Demokratien in der Vertrauenskrise? Bieten Europas Regierungschefs Trump endlich die Stirn? Neue Studie: Warum manche Schmetterlinge 25-mal länger leben als andere Schottische Invasion bringt Boston zum Feiern Die Stille Stunde Schweizer lehnen Bevölkerungsdeckel ab

“We voted Brexit and all we got was this lousy podcast…” Ten years since the vote that sent Britain round the bend, could we finally break out of the trap of 2016? We're joined by the Obi Wan Kenobi of Brexit bloggers Chris Grey to look into the enormity of Pandora's Referendum. In a world so violently changed from 2016, is there hope for Britain to get back into the EU? Despite populism, are the stars aligning for the UK and the EU? And should anyone serious about reuniting Britain and the EU be talking about joining, not rejoining? As Raf says: “With a bit of political courage we could be in a very different debate.”  • Want more on Brexit?

Am 23. Juni 2016 stimmen die Briten für den Brexit. Der Entscheidung gehen politische Machtkämpfe, populistische Versprechen, die Angst vor Migration und jahrelange Kulturkämpfe voraus. Von Wolfgang Meyer.

Heute vor zehn Jahren stimmten die Britinnen und Briten für den EU-Austritt. Seither wechselten in London die Regierungen im Rekordtempo. London steuert nun auf die siebte Regierung zu. Kehrt nun Ruhe ein? Und: Zehn Jahre nach dem Brexit spricht Grossbritannien wieder über das «Schweizer Modell». Lange stand der britische Premier Keir Starmer unter Druck. Die parteiinterne Kritik an ihm und seiner Politik wurde zu gross. Am Montag hat er seinen Rücktritt angekündigt. Mit Andy Burham steht bereits ein möglicher Nachfolger in den Startlöchern. Wieso ist Keir Starmer gescheitert und wofür steht Andy Burham? Und: Heute Dienstag, 23. Juni, ist es genau zehn Jahre her, dass die Britinnen und Briten in einem Referendum darüber abstimmen konnten, ob sie in der EU bleiben oder austreten wollen. Grossbritannien könnte trotz Brexit am Ende ein Verhältnis zur EU entwickeln, das dem der Schweiz ähnelt, sagt SRF Grossbritannien-Korrespondent Michael Gerber. Er ist zu Gast bei David Karasek.

 Wokół Rafała Trzaskowskiego pojawiają się pierwsze działania zmierzające do przeprowadzenia referendum w sprawie jego odwołania z funkcji prezydenta Warszawy. Choć droga do takiego głosowania jest długa i obarczona wieloma przeszkodami, politycy PiS nie ukrywają, że z zainteresowaniem obserwują rozwój sytuacji. Michał Moskal przekonuje, że po przegranych wyborach prezydenckich i kolejnych kontrowersjach wokół warszawskich instytucji pozycja Trzaskowskiego wyraźnie słabnie.

 – Spółki miejskie i szpitale są obsadzane wyłącznie z klucza partyjnego, a nie po kluczu merytorycznym – alarmuje Maciej Wilk. Na warszawskiej scenie politycznej szykuje się prawdziwa rewolucja. Wilk rzuca wyzwanie rządzącym miastem politykom i ogłasza start przygotowań do Stołecznej Operacji Referendalnej (SOR), która ma doprowadzić do referendum w Warszawie, a ostatecznie odsunąć Rafała Trzaskowskiego od władzy. 

Am 23. Juni 2016 haben die Menschen in Großbritannien für den Brexit gestimmt. Wie hat diese Entscheidung das Land verändert?

It has been a decade since British voters made the momentous decision to leave the European Union. The EU referendum result on June 24, 2016 led to a profound transformation of British politics, and to Brexit-related infighting that refuses to go away. But if the UK has not truly moved on, what about its former partner in this divorce, the EU? And what does Brussels think when the British government talks about rebuilding this relationship? We put these questions to two MEPs.

Japan's House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the Diet, the country's parliament, passed a bill to revise the law on national referendums on constitutional amendments by a majority vote at a plenary session on Friday.

In der Schweiz soll der Bau neuer Atomkraftwerke wieder möglich werden. Nach dem Bundesrat und dem Ständerat hat sich nun auch der Nationalrat dafür ausgesprochen. Er hat am Donnerstag den indirekten Gegenvorschlag zur Blackout-Initiative angenommen. Gast ist Michael Frank, Direktor des Verbands Sch Für die Befürworter neuer AKW ist es ein Erfolg: Der Nationalrat hat am Donnerstag mit knapper Mehrheit entschieden, das AKW-Verbot aufzuheben. Er folgt damit dem Ständerat und Energieminister Albert Rösti. Das letzte Wort dürfte jedoch das Stimmvolk haben - die Grünen haben bereits das Referendum angekündigt. Soll die Schweiz neue AKW bauen? Die Diskussion mit Michael Frank, Direktor des Verbands Schweizerischer Elektrizitätsunternehmen (VSE). Er ist zu Gast bei David Karasek.

While Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan campaigned on a pro-Europe platform in the pivotal vote, the opposition wanted to see the country take a more pro-Russia course. Despite clumsy Russian attempts to influence the outcome of the elections, Pashinyan was victorious. What does his win mean for Armenia, the ongoing peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Russia's ability to project power in the South Caucasus?

Der Zürcher Kantonsrat hat die Verlängerung der Glattalbahn um rund 3.3 Kilometer vom Flughafen Zürich bis Kloten Industrie genehmigt. Das 543-Millionen-Franken-Paket beinhaltet neben dem Bahnausbau auch Hochwasserschutz und eine neue Veloroute – gegen die sich die SVP vergeblich wehrte. Weitere Themen: · Die Zürcher Nachtruhe-Initiative für mehr Schutz vor Fluglärm dürfte nicht vors Volk kommen. Der Kantonsrat hat dem Gegenvorschlag zugestimmt, womit die Initiantinnen ihre Initiative zurückziehen wollen – sofern kein Referendum ergriffen wird. · Das Spital Wetzikon erhält einen letzten zeitlichen Aufschub: Die definitive Nachlassstundung wird um sechs Monate verlängert, da offenbar der Verfkauf an eine Investorin bevorstünde. · Nach dem Nein zum modernen TCS-Campingplatz am Winterthurer Schützenweiher ist offen, wie es mit dem alten Camping dort weitergeht. Die AL lanciert deshalb eine Initiative, die das Dauercampen ausdrücklich erlauben soll.

Afghánské ženy nesmějí studovat, cestovat bez mužského doprovodu ani veřejně promlouvat tak, aby je slyšeli cizí muži. Hnutí Tálibán, které je v Afghánistánu u moci už téměř pět let, skrz nový trestní zákoník znovu ukrojilo z jejich svobod. Za zprávami o nových dekretech, které extremističtí duchovní vydali, se ale skrývá mnohem složitější příběh. A netýká se jen žen samotných. Jak se v Afghánistánu dnes žije? Proč o něm slyšíme většinou jen na pozadí boje za ženská práva? A jak se v zemi otiskla dvacetiletá přítomnost amerických vojáků?Do podcastu MDŽ přijaly pozvání novinářka Deníku Referendum a psychoterapeutka afghánského původu Fatima Rahimi a politoložka a islamoložka z Filozofické fakulty Univerzity Karlovy a Filosofického ústavu Akademie věd Zora Hesová. Článek a další informace najdete na webu Seznam Zprávy.Sledujte nás na sociálních sítích Instagram, Threads nebo Bluesky.

Switzerland could become the first country in the world to put a legal cap on its population. In a referendum this weekend, voters will decide whether to limit the country's population to 10 million people — which currently stands at 9.1 million. Also, today marks one year since an Air India flight bound for London crashed, killing all but one of the 260 people onboard, but a much-anticipated report from an investigation did not arrive on the anniversary, leaving victims' families without answers. Also, Mexico opened the World Cup with a 2–0 win over South Africa, but for many fans in Mexico City, the celebrations have unfolded far from the stadium. Plus, a new treatment in Brazil could offer a path to recovery for millions of people with spinal cord injuries around the world.Your support is critical in sustaining our nonprofit newsroom.

Das Freihandelsabkommen mit den Mercosur-Staaten ist bereits unterzeichnet. Doch die innenpolitische Ausmarchung nimmt erst jetzt so richtig Fahrt auf. Kritik kommt einerseits vom Bauernverband und andererseits von Umweltorganisationen, Grünen und der SP. Während acht Jahren hat die Schweiz gemeinsam mit den weiteren Efta-Staaten ein Freihandelsabkommen mit den Mercosur-Staaten ausgehandelt. Im September letzten Jahres unterzeichnete der zuständige Bundesrat Guy Parmelin das Verhandlungsergebnis in Rio de Janeiro. Zum Mercosur gehören die südamerikanischen Länder Argentinien, Brasilien, Paraguay und Uruguay – ein Markt mit über 270 Millionen Menschen. Durch das Abkommen werden rund 96 Prozent der Schweizer Exporte in die Mercosur-Zone zollbefreit. Wie wichtig ist das Abkommen für die Schweizer Wirtschaft? Bauernverband droht mit Referendum Das Freihandelsabkommen ermöglicht umgekehrt auch den Mercosur-Staaten einfachere Exportbedingungen. So können sie grössere Mengen an Fleisch, Getreide oder Wein zu tieferen Zollsätzen in die Schweiz verkaufen. Dagegen regt sich Widerstand aus der Landwirtschaft. Die Bauern befürchten hohe Einbussen und fordern eine höhere Entschädigung. «Der Beschluss des Bundesrates ist derart provokativ, dass wir uns ganz klar Gedanken machen das Referendum betreffend», liess sich Bauernpräsident Markus Ritter zitieren. Muss die Schweizer Landwirtschaft höher entschädigt werden? Oder sind die Forderungen in der Höhe von über 800 Millionen Franken völlig überrissen? Kritik von Umweltorganisationen, Grünen und SP Auch aus linken Kreisen kommt Gegenwind. Sie fordern weitergehende Massnahmen in den Bereichen Umweltschutz und Menschenrechte. So soll die Schweiz etwa die Entwaldungsverordnung der EU übernehmen. Sind die im Abkommen bereits enthaltenen Nachhaltigkeitskapitel griffig? Oder droht eine unheilige Allianz aus Grünen und Bauern, das Freihandelsabkommen zum Absturz zu bringen? Zu diesen Fragen begrüsst Sandro Brotz am 12. Juni 2026 in der «Arena»: – Markus Ritter, Nationalrat Die Mitte/SG und Präsident Schweizer Bauernverband; – Meret Schneider, Nationalrätin Grüne/ZH; – Tiana Moser, Ständerätin GLP/ZH; und – Stefan Brupbacher, Direktor Swissmem.

This Day in Maine for Thursday, June 11th, 2026.

Amber Ruddy and Keith McLaughlin join Alberta Edge to debate whether the province's two main Tory leaders are successfully calming separatist tensions. Premier Danielle Smith, who leads Alberta's UCP, and Pierre Poilievre, leader of the federal Conservatives, are arguably on the same federalist side—but are taking different approaches to handling grievance politics. The conversation also touches on the pipeline MOU, internal UCP tensions, First Nations backlash, and the increasingly volatile political atmosphere surrounding Alberta's referendum season.

Klassenlehrpersonen organisieren Lager, Elternabende, Schulausflüge. Sie sind Ansprechpersonen für Zukunftsängste, bei Konflikten, bei Spezialfällen. Sie sind die Schnittstelle zwischen Schule, Eltern, Schülerinnen und Schülern. Und daneben unterrichten sie ja auch noch ganz normal ihre Fächer. Fast immer mehrere. Die Aufgabe von Klassenlehrpersonen ist also anspruchsvoll. Und sie wird immer anspruchsvoller, sagen die, die den Job machen. Die Lehrerinnen und Lehrer merken das in Form von immer mehr Überstunden, die nicht in ihrem Lohn enthalten sind. Die Kantone merken es, weil sie immer weniger Lehrpersonen finden, die auch Klassenlehrperson sein wollen. Wie hat sich die Aufgabe der Klassenlehrerinnen und -lehrer verändert? Warum schaltet sich jetzt vermehrt die Politik ein? Welche Lösungen gibt es? Und braucht es künftig überhaupt mehr Klassenlehrpersonen als heute? In einer neuen Folge des täglichen Podcasts «Apropos» spricht Bildungsredaktorin Claudia Blumer über die anspruchsvollen Aufgaben von Klassenlehrpersonen und warum sich die Politik zunehmend in den Schuldiskurs einschaltet. Host: Alexandra Aregger Produzentin: Sibylle Hartmann Mehr zum Politikum um die Klassenlehrpersonen: Klassenlehrer schlagen Alarm: «Vielleicht führt die Schule dann Bürozeiten ein.

Im Herbst 2025 hatten Proteste der jungen Bevölkerungsmehrheit, der GenZ, in Madagaskar zu einem Regimewechsel geführt. Auslöser war die Wasserkrise in dem südostafrikanischen Inselstaat. Eine militärgeführte Übergangsregierung verspricht nun Lösungen. Aber die Skepsis bleibt. Madagaskar hat schon viele Krisen und Regimewechsel erlebt. Es sei wie ein Land des ständigen Neuanfangs, der immer wieder scheitert, beschreibt Historiker Harilala Ranjatohery die Situation in seiner Heimat. Die GenZ-Proteste im letzten Herbst haben bei ihm jedoch leise Hoffnungen geweckt. Sie hatten sich zuerst am Thema Wasser entzündet - denn selbst in den Wohnungen der Hauptstadt Antananarivo kommt kaum ein Tropfen mehr, weil die öffentlichen Gelder für die Infrastruktur in korrupten Kanälen versickert sind. In den Provinzen führen Misswirtschaft und Klimawandel zu Dauerdürren, Hunger und chronischer Mangelernährung. Die neue militärgeführte Übergangsregierung hat grundlegende Reformen, ein Referendum und demokratische Wahlen 2027 versprochen. In der Protestbewegung jedoch wachsen Zweifel, ob diesen Versprechen auch Taten folgen. Einige junge Leute wollen nicht darauf warten, sondern arbeiten selbst an Lösungen, um die Krise zu lösen und Perspektiven zu schaffen.

In just a few months, Alberta voters may weigh a referendum on separation as a coalition pushes the case for staying in Canada. What's driving the renewed separatist push, and how strong is the argument against it? Jen Gerson of The Line and Lead Not Leave joins us.

Marking the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum with former Vote Leave chief executive, Lord Matthew Elliott, the duo reflects on the original promise of leaving the EU and how the podcast itself was born out of a shared taxi ride following a celebration of that historic vote.Allison delivers a searing indictment of the "woke indoctrination" paralysing British policing, highlighting how diversity, equity, and inclusion targets have trained common sense and humanity out of officers, leading to the inhumane treatment of a dying victim while his killer was treated with total decency. On Brexit, Liam uses his column to bust the persistent "Project Fear" myths, pointing out that the UK has actually outgrown France and Germany since 2016. However, he laments that successive governments have failed to capitalise on regulatory freedoms and instead allowed immigration to soar to historic highs.HighlightsPlanet Normal: 10 years on from the Referendum, have we even had Brexit yet?The police failed Henry Novak, and DEI continues to fail us all10 Years of Brexit: A deep dive into the economic realities of the post-referendum UK, detailing missed deregulation opportunities alongside strong export growthSign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

Im Herbst 2025 hatten Proteste der jungen Bevölkerungsmehrheit, der GenZ, in Madagaskar zu einem Regimewechsel geführt. Auslöser war die Wasserkrise in dem südostafrikanischen Inselstaat. Eine militärgeführte Übergangsregierung verspricht nun Lösungen. Aber die Skepsis bleibt. Madagaskar hat schon viele Krisen und Regimewechsel erlebt. Es sei wie ein Land des ständigen Neuanfangs, der immer wieder scheitert, beschreibt Historiker Harilala Ranjatohery die Situation in seiner Heimat. Die GenZ-Proteste im letzten Herbst haben bei ihm jedoch leise Hoffnungen geweckt. Sie hatten sich zuerst am Thema Wasser entzündet - denn selbst in den Wohnungen der Hauptstadt Antananarivo kommt kaum ein Tropfen mehr, weil die öffentlichen Gelder für die Infrastruktur in korrupten Kanälen versickert sind. In den Provinzen führen Misswirtschaft und Klimawandel zu Dauerdürren, Hunger und chronischer Mangelernährung. Die neue militärgeführte Übergangsregierung hat grundlegende Reformen, ein Referendum und demokratische Wahlen 2027 versprochen. In der Protestbewegung jedoch wachsen Zweifel, ob diesen Versprechen auch Taten folgen. Einige junge Leute wollen nicht darauf warten, sondern arbeiten selbst an Lösungen, um die Krise zu lösen und Perspektiven zu schaffen.

Alberta is the new angsty teenager of Canada, but no matter how much they whine and slam doors, their referendum on separation from Canada is an exercise in futility. The messaging from Trump seems to have changed from seeding hints of a possible coup to talk of who will succeed him in the Oval Office at the next election. Though the overt planning to disrupt the US midterm elections continues unabated.  

Iran and the Strait of Hormuz crisis reveal how much we owe to our merchant marinersThis week, Nick Cohen talks to author, travel writer and writer-mariner Horatio Clare about the hidden world of merchant marines and the critical role they play in global trade. Horatio shares insights from his experience as a writer-in-residence on container ships, describing the challenging conditions faced by seafarers stuck in the Gulf during the ongoing conflict, including extreme heat, isolation, and the constant threat of Iranian drone attacks. They discuss how modern shipping relies on a largely invisible workforce of approximately 18 people per large vessel, predominantly from countries like the Philippines, who maintain the world's supply chains while facing dangerous working conditions and minimal oversight.Horatio explains how containerisation moved ports away from cities, making shipping less visible to the public while simultaneously making globalisation possible, with shipping costs representing just one cent for goods transported globally. They also discuss the environmental impact of shipping, with vessels contributing significantly to global pollution, and the lack of journalism or union representation in the industry, leaving seafarers vulnerable to abuse and dangerous practices like throwing stowaways overboard to avoid fines.Read all about it!

The application to get a referendum on the ballot in Box Elder County -- over the proposed data center -- has been rejected and will not be on the ballot in November. But the process to stop the data center isn't over yet; the group leading the charge against the proposal says it will take the issue to court. The county attorney denied the referendum application, saying the county commission's decision was administrative, not legislative. But the group disagrees with that analysis, saying a 2018 Utah Supreme Court decision proves it is legislative, so the people should get to have a say in it. During this segment, Governor Spencer Cox also signed an executive order that raises the bar on future data center developments; Greg and Holly discuss this breaking development.

As separatist sentiment swirls across Alberta, the country has been holding it's breath and wondering: "will we face another separation referendum?" It seemed inevitable, as Premier Danielle Smith changed the rules to make putting a referendum forward easier. But a court decision rejected their petition on the grounds that Indigenous peoples who would be affected were not properly consulted. Smith has since announced a compromise, of sorts: a referendum on whether or not to have a separation referendum. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Ryan Jespersen, host of "Real Talk", an Alberta daily news and politics show, to get the perspective from the ground, and discuss how she has managed to anger both federalist and separatist Albertans.  You can listen to "Real Talk" with Ryan Jespersen wherever you get your podcast, or at https://www.ryanjespersen.com/ And you can follow the show on YouTube and all social media @RealTalkRJ We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Western Premiers gathered in Kananskis, Alberta this week to discuss shared issues like trade, defense and energy projects. But another topic overshadowed the meetings: Alberta separatism. Late last week, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced the province will hold a referendum on the prospect of independence in the fall. But rather than a straight question about leaving Canada, the referendum will ask Albertans whether they support another referendum on seceding. The question has both separatists and federalists upset.Kathleen Petty, host of the CBC podcast West of Centre, and Jason Markusoff, writer and producer with CBC in Alberta, join us to talk through the fallout. What does this mean for the country, for Albertans and for Smith herself?For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts
