Gaat de beursgong verdwijnen? Die kans bestaat, als het aan de beurshandelaren in Londen ligt tenminste. De Londen Stock Exchange overweegt om het sluiten van de beurs te schrappen. Ze willen 24 uur per dag gaan handelen. Ze zien dat particulieren juist pas na het sluiten aan het handelen slaan. Daar willen ze op inspelen. Wij, traditioneel als we zijn, zien ook wat haken en ogen. Welke, dat bespreken we deze aflevering. We hebben het ook nog over autobouwer Stellantis .Die komt met een enorme waarschuwing. Beleggers gingen uit van een kleine winst, over de afgelopen maanden. Maar Stellantis helpt ze uit die droom: er komt een verlies aan, van maar liefst 2,3 miljard euro over het eerste halfjaar. We vertellen je over Prosus, dat er alles aan doet om de overname van Just Eat Takeaway door te laten gaan. Ze zijn zelfs bereid om daarvoor een belang in een ander bedrijf af te bouwen. Prosus is ook groot-aandeelhouder van Delivery Hero, een Duitse maaltijdbezorger. De Europese Commissie is daar niet blij mee, want dan zou Prosus een te groot deel van de markt in handen krijgen. Daarom komt Prosus de commissie tegemoet, door haar belang in Delivery Hero te verkleinen.

Edition No195 | 20-07-2025 - The night skies turn hostile, but this time it's not only over Ukraine, but the capital of the aggressor, Moscow. This episode investigates the impact of three nights of drone raids on Moscow – both the material and psychological effects. There is a phrase is Russian, sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. Now the city of Lenin and Stalin is becoming Dronegrad, an imperial capital under fire. Did Putin think he could inflict aggression, but that Ukraine would not strike back? It seems he thought precisely this. Since early July, Moscow has faced repeated drone incursions. On July 19, Mayor Sobyanin announced that air defences shot down 2 drones, prompting temporary suspensions at Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports (Reuters). Similar closures occurred on July 17 and 18, with disruptions at all four major Moscow airports (tvpworld.com).----------DESCRIPTION:Drone Strikes on Moscow: Disruption and DestructionIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into the third day of drone strikes on Moscow, which have significantly disrupted airports and travel in the city, turning it into a virtual no-fly zone. The strikes have inflicted both material and psychological damage, highlighting the vulnerability of Moscow despite Russia's aggression in Ukraine. We discuss the economic impact, including massive airline losses and delays, and the broader implications for Russian society and its government's perceived strength. We also examine Ukraine's strategic use of drone strikes as a form of guerrilla economics, aimed at inflicting financial and psychological pain on Russia. Despite Western caution, Ukraine is expanding its capabilities and normalizing these strikes, while Russian civilians remain anxious and frustrated. Ultimately, bringing the war to Russian soil alters the dynamics of the conflict, challenging the Kremlin's narrative and strategy.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Channel Support00:36 Drone Strikes on Moscow: An Overview01:11 Impact on Moscow's Airports and Economy02:13 Psychological and Symbolic Effects02:43 Ukraine's Strategic Calculations05:02 Western Reactions and Future Prospects06:58 Conclusion and Summary----------SOURCES: Reuters: Sobyanin on drones & airport halts (July 19, 2025)The Sun: four-night blitz, airport shutdowns Reuters: 122 drones intercepted July 17, broader strike Kyiv Independent: airlines' losses of 20 bn roublesWashington Post: infrastructure & telecom disruptionsReuters/AP: casualties and public frustrationAP News/Reuters: Russia-Ukraine drone exchanges, Western arms dealsWikipedia: Nov 2024, summer 2024 drone pushesAtlantic Council & CSIS: drone strategy, cost-effectivenessReuters: civilian impacts across regionsThe Washington Post: mobile internet blackouts centralised Guardian/Independent/WSJ: peace talks, escalation, Trump involvement----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Die president van die Reserwebank, Lesetja Kganyago, waarsku dat Amerikaanse tariewe die voertuigvervaardigings- en die landbousektor in Suid-Afrika die ergste sal raak. Amerika gaan vanaf begin volgende maand 'n tarief van 30 persent op uitvoere uit Suid-Afrika instel. Ongeveer 100 000 werksgeleenthede in die motor- en die landbousektor is in gevaar, insluitend 35 000 net in die sitrus-sektor. Kganyago het aan Reuters gesê dit is belangrik vir individuele lande om hulle reaksie op die tariewe by hul ekonomieë aan te pas:

Andrej Babiš řekl zahraničním novinářům, že jeho vláda zruší klíčový projekt současného kabinetu - muniční iniciativu. To, co ANO už několikrát naznačovalo, tak jednoznačně zaznělo. Co by zastavení projektu znamenalo?Hostem Ptám se já byl poslanec a předseda sněmovního bezpečnostního výboru Pavel Žáček.Šéf ANO a favorit letošních sněmovních voleb Andrej Babiš se tento týden v rozhovoru pro agenturu Reuters jasně vyjádřil k české muniční iniciativě, kterou v případě vítězství hodlá zrušit. Premiér Petr Fiala (ODS) označil takové výroky za nebezpečné. „Je to důležitá věc a ztráta kreditu České republiky by byla velká. A jsem překvapen, protože Andrej Babiš byl informován o tom, kolik to stojí, byl informován, jak to probíhá,“ komentoval Babišovy výroky předseda sněmovního bezpečnostního výboru Pavel Žáček (ODS). „Chápu, že Andrej Babiš bojuje o voliče s SPD, možná s PRO, možná s těmi společenskými bublinami, které Ukrajinu nepodporují. Ale tohle je tak vážná věc! On jako bývalý premiér nemá právo takto hazardovat s budoucností kreditu České republiky. To člověk prostě nechápe. Tady jsou nějaké limity,“ kritizoval Žáček. Česká muniční iniciativa pomohla loni dodat Ukrajině, která se čtvrtým rokem brání ruské agresi na svém území, celkem 1,5 milionu nábojů. Dodávky pokračují i letos. Ukrajinský prezident Volodymyr Zelenskyj při své květnové návštěvě Prahy označil program za efektivní. Česká vláda od začátku války patří mezi hlavní podporovatele napadené země. O to více překvapila jiná zpráva z tohoto týdne - Česko se nyní nepřipojí k nákupu amerických zbraní pro Kyjev, o kterém informoval prezident Donald Trump. „Myslím, že to je rozumné rozhodnutí, protože bychom tříštili síly,“ bránil rozhodnutí Žáček. "Netvrdím, že se k tomu někdy nepřidáme. Ale dneska je situace taková, že my máme rozjeté věci a my je musíme obhájit. Kdyby se k tomu premiér Fiala přihlásil, tak co bude říkat Andrej Babiš nebo opozice? “V čem je muniční iniciativa tak klíčová? A kde vezmeme peníze na zbrojení?--Podcast Ptám se já.

Presa internațională continuă să analizeze consecințele deciziei președintelui Donald Trump de a trimite arme Ucrainei, precum și amenințările sale cu sancțiuni economice. Îndoiala începe să-și facă loc printre comentatori. ”Ucraina sărbătorește întoarcerea lui Trump, dar „diavolul se ascunde în detalii”, avertizează USA Today:   ”Modul în care orice sprijin material va ajunge în Ucraina va depinde de negocierile viitoare privind cine și ce furnizează, potrivit a 10 oficiali din SUA și Europa. În timpul întâlnirii de luni cu Trump din Biroul Oval, Rutte a menționat șase țări NATO - Finlanda, Danemarca, Suedia, Norvegia, Olanda și Canada - dispuse să participe la schema de achiziționare de arme. Surse de rang înalt de la două dintre ambasadele acestor țări din SUA au declarat pentru Reuters că au aflat despre plan de-abia după ce a fost anunțat”.   CNN  se întreabă în ce măsură Donald Trump va fi dispus să treacă la sancțiuni dure asupra partenerilor comerciali ai Moscovei: ”Comerțul dintre SUA și Rusia este minuscul în acest moment, așa că pedepsele bilaterale nu vor conta prea mult. Dar dacă Trump va impune sancțiuni țărilor care cumpără produse rusești, în special energie, aceasta ar putea sufoca economia și mașina de război a Moscovei. Întrebarea este dacă ar viza India și China - într-o mișcare care ar putea perturba grav relațiile SUA cu aceste puteri gigantice și ar arunca economia globală în haos.   Istoricul său de impunere și apoi suspendare a tarifelor ca parte a războiului comercial global sugerează că nu ar face-o. Iar Moscova ar putea miza pe asta”. Decizia lui Donald Trump a produs, de asemenea, mari nemulțumiri în interiorul mișcării ultraconservatoare MAGA, brațul ideologic al lui Donald Trump. Principalul aliat al lui Trump se întoarce împotriva lui din cauza „promisiunilor încălcate”, titrează Daily Mail. Fostul strateg șef al Casei Albe, Steve Bannon, i-a avertizat pe republicani că vor pierde 10% din mișcarea MAGA, ceea ce ar însemna 40 de locuri în Congres în alegerile parțiale din 2026. El a adăugat că „Îl vom pierde pe președinte”. ”Mulți din lumea MAGA sunt furioși pe decizia lui Trump”, constată și Firstpost: Reprezentanta republicană Marjorie Taylor Greene a criticat pe rețelele de socializare „înțelegerile secrete prin NATO”. ”Greene a spus că această evoluție este în contrast puternic cu ceea ce li s-a promis alegătorilor în campanie. Datele arată că Ucraina nu este foarte populară în rândul republicanilor. Circa 59% dintre republicani consideră că SUA ajută Ucraina „prea mult”, conform unui sondaj din martie”. Iar The Atlantic observă că ”de la Ziua Inaugurării, două tabere concurente au făcut presiuni asupra lui Trump în ceea ce privește Ucraina și Rusia. Izolaționiști precum vicepreședintele J. D. Vance și Steve Bannon, consilierul de lungă durată al lui Trump, l-au presat pe președinte să abandoneze Kievul. Republicanii mai tradiționaliști l-au presat pe președinte să fie mai dur cu Moscova. Persoanele care au criticat anterior loialitatea președintelui față de Moscova au salutat ultimele sale mișcări”. Potrivit marelui maestru de șah Garry Kasparov, un critic de lungă durată al Kremlinului,   Trump poate face o declarație foarte puternică și poate lua decizia de a ajuta Ucraina, nu pentru că îi pasă de Ucraina, ci pentru că a fost făcut să pară umilit

The executive director of Camp Mystic, the all-girls camp in Texas, received a severe flood warning on his phone in the early-morning hours of July 4. According to an investigation by Annie Gowen and her colleagues at the Washington Post, it took more than an hour after that for a frantic evacuation to begin. The Trump administration is leaving Congress in the dark about critical spending decisions. Reuters’s Bo Erickson joins to explain the dynamic and its consequences. For years, women told medical providers that IUD procedures were painful. Allie Volpe, a senior reporter with Vox, joins to discuss why their voices are finally being taken seriously. Plus, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is pulling some of the National Guard from LA, unreleased music was stolen from Beyoncé, and a chunk of Mars is going to auction. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

We moeten het hebben over Prometheus en Hyperion. Dan denk je misschien aan personages uit Transformers, maar het zijn toch écht de nieuwe projecten van Meta. Het moederbedrijf van Facebook wil namelijk gigantische datacenters met die namen bouwen. Datacenters waar Meta volgens eigen zeggen honderden miljarden dollars aan wil uitgeven. Mark Zuckerberg heeft een missie en dat is dat zijn Meta de AI-kampioen wordt. Hij wil de achterstand op bedrijven als Microsoft ombuigen in een voorsprong. Deze aflevering kijken we of dat niet ten koste gaat van de financiën van het bedrijf. Betalen beleggers niet zijn nieuwe fiasco?Hebben we het ook over Nvidia. Het is topman Jensen Huang gelukt: hij heeft exportrestricties weggewerkt. Van de Trump-regering mag hij bepaalde chips nu tóch naar China exporteren. Leuk voor hem, maar het lijkt erop dat Trump hiermee de Chinezen machtiger maakt. Machtig mooi zijn ook de kwartaalcijfers van drie grote Amerikaanse banken. JP Morgan, Citigroup en Wells Fargo komen met goede cijfers, al zitten er wel wat schoonheidsfoutjes in. Ook moeten beleggers een flinke waarschuwing verwerken van JP Morgan-baas Jamie Dimon.

This Day in Legal History: Sedition Act PassedOn this day in legal history, July 14, 1798, the United States Congress passed the Sedition Act, one of the most controversial laws in the nation's early political history. Part of the broader Alien and Sedition Acts, this law made it a crime to publish “any false, scandalous and malicious writing” against the federal government, Congress, or the President with the intent to defame or bring them into disrepute. Ostensibly aimed at quelling foreign influence and internal subversion during the quasi-war with France, the Act was also a clear weapon against domestic political opposition—particularly the Democratic-Republicans led by Thomas Jefferson.Federalist lawmakers, who dominated Congress and the presidency under John Adams, justified the law as necessary for national security. However, it was widely criticized as an assault on First Amendment rights and a means of silencing dissent. The law resulted in the prosecution of several Republican editors and even members of Congress, including Representative Matthew Lyon of Vermont, who was sentenced to four months in jail.The Sedition Act provoked a fierce backlash and spurred Jefferson and James Madison to draft the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, which introduced the doctrine of nullification—the idea that states could declare federal laws unconstitutional. Public outrage over the Act played a significant role in the Federalists' defeat in the election of 1800 and the subsequent repeal or expiration of most provisions of the Alien and Sedition Acts.The Sedition Act expired on March 3, 1801, the day before Jefferson assumed the presidency. Its legacy remains a cautionary tale about the tension between national security and civil liberties, and it is frequently cited in debates over the limits of free speech in times of political crisis.California tax authorities have flagged over 1,500 high-end vehicles sold by 500 dealerships as likely being registered through Montana LLCs in an attempt to avoid California sales tax and vehicle registration fees. These vehicles—worth more than $300 million collectively—are tied to a long-running strategy used by buyers of luxury assets like exotic cars, yachts, and RVs to exploit Montana's zero percent sales tax and minimal registration costs. Dealers and buyers now face possible penalties, audits, and investigations as California intensifies enforcement.The scheme works like this: a buyer sets up a Montana LLC, purchases and registers the vehicle under that entity, and keeps the car out-of-state on paper—even if it's garaged and driven daily in a state like California. That regulatory fiction is precisely what states are cracking down on. Bloomberg Tax recently highlighted the scale of the problem, noting that more than 600,000 vehicles are likely registered in Montana but used elsewhere, costing states billions annually in uncollected taxes.Montana LLCs have become a go-to workaround for the wealthy looking to sidestep their home-state tax obligations. While technically legal under Montana law, when the vehicle is used in another state without proper registration or tax payment, it becomes a form of tax evasion. States like Illinois and Utah are following California's lead, passing laws to “look through” LLCs and hold in-state beneficial owners accountable.This isn't just a niche tax dodge—it's a broader challenge to state tax enforcement. As wealthier individuals increasingly exploit differences between state tax codes, it's prompting legal reforms and inter-agency cooperation to close loopholes once thought too obscure or dispersed to address. California's latest enforcement push suggests these Montana LLC schemes are no longer flying under the radar—and that other states may soon follow with penalties and structural reforms of their own.California Finds 1,500 Vehicles Linked to Montana Tax SheltersNearly two-thirds of the U.S. Department of Justice's Federal Programs Branch—the unit charged with defending Trump administration policies in court—has resigned or announced plans to leave since Donald Trump's reelection. Out of roughly 110 attorneys, 69 have exited, according to a list reviewed by Reuters. The exodus includes nearly half the section's supervisors and is far greater than typical turnover seen in prior administrations. While the Trump administration maintains its legal actions are within constitutional bounds, current and former DOJ lawyers cite an overwhelming workload and ethical concerns as key drivers of the departures.Many career lawyers reportedly struggled to defend policies they saw as legally dubious or procedurally flawed, including efforts to revoke birthright citizenship and claw back federal funding from universities. Several feared they'd be pressured to make misleading or unethical arguments in court. In some cases, lawyers were expected to defend executive orders with minimal input from the agencies involved. A recent whistleblower complaint even alleged retaliation against a supervisor who refused to make unsupportable claims in immigration cases.Despite the mass departures, the Trump administration continues to rely heavily on the unit as it seeks to expand executive power following favorable Supreme Court rulings. The DOJ has reassigned attorneys from other divisions, brought in over a dozen political appointees, and exempted the unit from the federal hiring freeze to keep up with litigation demands. Critics argue the changes undermine DOJ independence, while supporters claim the administration is merely ensuring its policies get a fair defense in court.Two-thirds of the DOJ unit defending Trump policies in court have quit | ReutersAn $8 billion trial kicks off this week in Delaware where Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and several current and former Facebook leaders are accused by shareholders of knowingly violating a 2012 FTC consent decree aimed at protecting user privacy. The lawsuit stems from the 2018 revelation that Cambridge Analytica accessed data from millions of Facebook users without their consent, ultimately leading to billions in fines and costs for Meta—including a $5 billion penalty from the FTC in 2019. Shareholders, including union pension funds like California's State Teachers' Retirement System, want Zuckerberg and others to reimburse the company, alleging they operated Facebook as a law-breaking enterprise.Defendants in the case include Sheryl Sandberg, Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, and Reed Hastings. While Meta itself is not a defendant, the case focuses on the board's alleged failure to oversee privacy practices and enforce the 2012 agreement. The plaintiffs must prove what legal experts call the most difficult claim in corporate law: a total failure of oversight by directors. Delaware law gives leeway for poor business decisions—but not illegal ones, even if they're profitable.Zuckerberg is expected to testify, and plaintiffs argue he personally directed deceptive privacy practices and tried to offload stock ahead of the Cambridge Analytica scandal to avoid losses, allegedly netting $1 billion. Defendants deny wrongdoing, claiming the company took privacy seriously by investing in compliance and being deceived by Cambridge Analytica.Meta investors, Zuckerberg to square off at $8 billion trial over alleged privacy violations | Reuters This is a public episode.

We begin on a positive note by welcoming a “doer,” citizen extraordinaire, Jon Merryman, who couldn't stand the trash, especially old tires, being dumped in his neighborhood. So, he took it upon himself to clean it up and has now expanded his efforts across the country. Then co-president of Public Citizen, Robert Weissman, joins us to explain how spending in the recent bill passed by the Republican controlled Congress prioritizes the Pentagon and deportation enforcement at the expense of the social safety net, essentially trading life for death.Jon Merryman was a software designer at Lockheed Martin, who after retiring found his true calling, cleaning up trash in every county in America.When I first started looking at the environment next to my place of work, one of the things I did uncover was tires. And they were definitely there from the '20s, the '30s, and the '40s, they've been there for decades. And then just after a while, the soil and the erosion just covers them up. And you just discover them, and you realize this has been going on forever.Jon MerrymanNature is innocent. It really doesn't deserve what we've given it. And I feel like someone's got to step up to undo what we've done.Jon MerrymanRobert Weissman is a staunch public interest advocate and activist, as well as an expert on a wide variety of issues ranging from corporate accountability and government transparency to trade and globalization, to economic and regulatory policy. As the Co-President of Public Citizen, he has spearheaded the effort to loosen the chokehold corporations, and the wealthy have over our democracy.The best estimates are that the loss of insurance and measures in this bill will cost 40,000 lives every year. Not once. Every year.Robert Weissman co-president of Public Citizen on the Budget BillPeople understand there's a rigged system. They understand that generally. They understand that with healthcare. But if you (the Democrats) don't name the health insurance companies as an enemy, as a barrier towards moving forward. You don't say United Health; you don't go after a Big Pharma, which is probably the most despised health sector in the economy, people don't think you're serious. And partially it's because you're not.Robert WeissmanNews 7/11/251. This week, the Financial Times published a stunning story showing the Tony Blair Institute – founded by the former New Labour British Prime Minister and Iraq War accomplice Tony Blair – “participated” in a project to “reimagine Gaza as a thriving trading hub.” This project would include a “Trump Riviera” and an “Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone”. To accomplish this, the investors would pay half a million Palestinians to leave Gaza to open the enclave up for development – and that is just the tip of the harebrained iceberg. This scheme would also involve creating “artificial islands off the coast akin to those in Dubai, blockchain-based trade initiatives…and low-tax ‘special economic zones'.” The development of this plot is somewhat shadowy. The FT story names a, “group of Israeli businessmen…including tech investor Liran Tancman and venture capitalist Michael Eisenberg,” who helped establish the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in February 2025. GHF has been accused of using supposed aid distribution sites as “death traps,” per France 24. Boston Consulting Group, also named in the FT story, strongly disavowed the project, as did the Tony Blair Institute.2. In more positive news related to Gaza, the National Education Association – the largest labor union in the United States – voted this week to sever ties with the Anti-Defamation League. The ADL, once an important group safeguarding the civil rights and wellbeing of American Jews, has completely abandoned its historic mission and has instead devoted its considerable resources to trying to crush the anti-Zionist movement. The NEA passed a resolution stating that the NEA “will not use, endorse, or publicize materials from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), such as its curricular materials or statistics,” because, “Despite its reputation as a civil rights organization, the ADL is not the social justice educational partner it claims to be.” Labor Notes writes that the ADL “has been a ubiquitous presence in U.S. schools for forty years, pushing curriculum, direct programming, and teacher training into K-12 schools and increasingly into universities.” One NEA delegate, Stephen Siegel, said from the assembly floor, “Allowing the ADL to determine what constitutes antisemitism would be like allowing the fossil fuel industry to determine what constitutes climate change.”3. Another major labor story from this week concerns sanitation workers in Philadelphia. According to the Delaware News Journal, AFSCME District Council 33 has reached a deal with the city to raise wages for their 9,000 workers by 9% over three years. The union went on strike July 1st, resulting in, “massive piles of trash piling up on city streets and around trash drop-off sites designated by the city,” and “changes to the city's annual Fourth of July concert with headliner LL Cool J and city native Jazmine Sullivan both dropping out,” in solidarity with the striking workers, per WHYY. The deal reached is a major compromise for the union, which was seeking a 32% total pay increase, but they held off on an extended trash pickup strike equivalent to 1986 strike, which went on for three weeks and left 45,000 tons of rotting garbage in the streets, per ABC.4. Yet another labor story brings us to New York City. ABC7 reports the United Federation of Teachers has endorsed Democratic Socialist – and Democratic Party nominee – Zohran Mamdani for mayor. This report notes “UFT is the city's second largest union…[with] 200,000 members.” Announcing the endorsement, UFT President Michael Mulgrew stated, “This is a real crisis and it's a moment for our city, and our city is starting to speak out very loudly…The voters are saying the same thing, 'enough is enough.' The income gap disparity is above…that which we saw during the Gilded Age." All eyes now turn to District Council 37, which ABC7 notes “endorsed Council speaker Adrienne Adams in the primary and has yet to endorse in the general election.”5. The margin of Mamdani's victory, meanwhile, continues to grow as the Board of Elections updates its ranked choice voting tallies. According to the conservative New York Post, Zohran has “won more votes than any other mayoral candidate in New York City primary election history.” Mamdani can now boast having won over 565,000 votes after 102,000 votes were transferred from other candidates. Not only that, “Mamdani's totals are expected to grow as…a small percent of ballots are still being counted.”6. Meanwhile, scandal-ridden incumbent New York City Mayor Eric Adams has yet another scandal on his hands. The New York Daily News reports, “Four high-ranking former NYPD chiefs are suing Mayor Adams, claiming they were forced to retire from the department after complaining that his ‘unqualified' friends were being placed in prestigious police positions, sometimes after allegedly bribing their way into the jobs.” Former Police Commissioner Edward Caban, who was already forced to resign in disgrace amidst a federal corruption investigation, features prominently in this new lawsuit. Among other things, Caban is alleged to have been “selling promotions” to cops for up to $15,000. Adams is running for reelection as an independent, but trails Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani and disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo.7. Turning to the federal government, as the U.S. disinvests in science and technology, a new report published in the Financial Times finds that, “Almost three-quarters of all solar and wind power projects being built globally are in China.” According to the data, gathered by Global Energy Monitor, “China is building 510 gigawatts of utility-scale solar and wind projects… [out of] 689GW under construction globally.” As this report notes, one gigawatt can potentially supply electricity for about one million homes. This report goes on to say that, “China is expected to add at least 246.5GW of solar and 97.7GW of wind this year,” on top of the “1.5 terawatts of solar and wind power capacity up and running as of the end of March.” In the first quarter of 2025, solar and wind accounted for 22.5% of China's total electricity consumption; in 2023, solar and wind accounted for around 14% of electricity consumption in the United States, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.8. Developments this week put two key rules promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission under former Chair Lina Khan in jeopardy. First and worse, NPR reports the Republican-controlled FTC is abandoning a rule which would have banned non-compete clauses in employment contracts. These anti-worker provisions “trap workers and depress wages,” according to Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, who has introduced legislation to ban them by statute. Perhaps more irritatingly however, Reuters reports the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis has blocked the so-called “click to cancel” rule just days before it was set to take effect. This rule would have, “required retailers, gyms and other businesses to provide cancellation methods for subscriptions, auto-renewals and free trials that convert to paid memberships that are ‘at least as easy to use' as the sign up process.” A coalition of corporate interests sued to block the rule, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a trade group representing major cable and internet providers such as Charter Communications, Comcast and Cox Communications along with media companies like Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery. Lina Khan decried “Firms…making people jump through endless hoops just to cancel a subscription, trapping Americans in needless bureaucracy and wasting their time & money.”9. In another betrayal of consumers, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to break promises and speak out of both sides of his mouth. A new report in NPR documents RFK Jr. speaking at a conference in April, where he “spoke about the health effects of exposure to harmful chemicals in our food, air and water…[and] cited recent research on microplastics from researchers in Oregon, finding these tiny particles had shown up in 99% of the seafood they sampled.” Yet Susanne Brander, the author of the study, had gotten word just an hour earlier that “a federal grant she'd relied on to fund her research for years…was being terminated.” Brander is quoted saying "It feels like they are promoting the field while ripping out the foundation." Ripping out the foundation of this research is felt acutely, as “regulators are weakening safeguards that limit pollution and other toxic chemicals.” So Mr. Secretary, which is more important – stopping the proliferation of microplastics or slashing funding for the very scientists studying the issue?10. Finally, in Los Angeles masked federal troops are marauding through the streets on horseback, sowing terror through immigrant communities, per the New York Times. President Trump mobilized approximately 4,000 National Guard members – putting them under federal control – alongside 700 Marines in response to protests against immigration raids in June. As the Times notes, “It has been more than three weeks since the last major demonstration in downtown Los Angeles,” but the federal forces have not been demobilized. While some have dismissed the shows of force as nothing more than stunts designed to fire up the president's base, Gregory Bovino, a Customs and Border Protection chief in Southern California told Fox News “[LA] Better get used to us now, cause this is going to be normal very soon.” As LA Mayor Karen Bass put it, “What I saw…looked like a city under siege, under armed occupation…It's the way a city looks before a coup.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

In Episode 62, I interviewed two Reuters journalists about how industry and government in the United States use conservation easements to avoid rigorous cleanup of contaminated sites. Today, one of those journalists, Jaimi Dowdell, is back to discuss how a federal agency responsible for community health assessments has a history of failing to protect the communities that seek its aid. Jaimi was part of the Reuters team that won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize in Explanatory Reporting. Today we discuss the Reuters special report published in August 2024 and entitled, "How a US health agency became a shield for polluters."

L'Institut Reuters, rattaché à l'université d'Oxford, mène chaque année une grande enquête sur l'état de l'information dans le monde. Pour discuter de son édition 2025, parue récemment, L'atelier des médias reçoit la directrice de l'école de journalisme de Sciences Po Paris, Alice Antheaume qui a supervisé la partie française de cette étude internationale. Le Reuters Institute publie chaque année son Digital News Report, rapport mondial sur l'état de l'information, une vaste enquête menée auprès de 100 000 personnes réparties dans 48 pays. Les données du rapport 2025 révèlent une poursuite de l'exode des audiences des médias traditionnels vers les plateformes comme YouTube et les réseaux sociaux. La télévision poursuit sa baisse continue comme source d'information. Les podcasts connaissent un dynamisme notable, offrant des « voix nouvelles dans des formats différents » et s'adressant davantage aux moins de 35 ans avec des formats « plus incarnés » et moins liés à l'actualité chaude.  La confiance dans les médias demeure « très mitigée », la France se classant à une décevante 41e position sur 48 pays, avec seulement 29 % des sondés déclarant une confiance satisfaisante. Alice Antheaume explique ce faible score par un « mauvais esprit français », culturellement méfiant, et une « mauvaise compréhension de ce qu'est notre métier » de journaliste, le travail de vérification étant « sans doute mal saisi ». Cette défiance est fortement corrélée à une crise de confiance plus globale envers les institutions. Concernant le paiement pour l'information en ligne, la France affiche un faible taux de 11 %, un chiffre « stationnaire » depuis des années. Pour Alice Antheaime, une des explications réside dans une « mauvaise éducation » à la valeur de l'information, le public ayant été habitué à l'accès gratuit via internet. De fait, seuls 11% des Français déclarent avoir reçu une éducation à l'information, soit le plus mauvais score parmi les pays étudiés. Pour y remédier, Alice Antheaume insiste sur l'importance de « nommer les choses » et d'instaurer de la « récurrence » dans l'éducation aux médias et à l'information (EMI) dans les cursus scolaires. Face à l'« accablement » et l'« impuissance » ressentis face aux nouvelles, 36 % des Français disent éviter activement l'information. Dans ce paysage, de nouveaux acteurs tels que HugoDécrypte attirent les jeunes audiences, avec 22 % des moins de 35 ans en France qui consultent ses contenus. Ses formats sont qualifiés de « très pédagogique » et aident à une meilleure compréhension d'un monde complexe. Malgré une perception peu populaire et des conditions d'exercice difficiles, le métier de journaliste conserve une « attractivité folle » chez les jeunes, assure Alice Antheaume. Mais une école de journalisme comme celle de Sciences Po Paris doit s'attacher à former les étudiants pour qu'ils puissent « durer dans ce métier », assure la directrice. La formation insiste sur le fact-checking, le reportage de terrain, et la compréhension des grands enjeux mondiaux. L'intégration de l'intelligence artificielle (IA) est également primordiale, avec des ateliers où les étudiants « ont produit des prototypes pour des médias déjà installés en intégrant et de l'info et des outils d'intelligence artificielle tout en se questionnant sur l'éthique ».

Edition No186 | 11-07-2025 - The Assassination of Ivan Voronych will send shock waves through the intelligence community in Kyiv and across Ukraine. On 10 July 2025, the heart of Kyiv turned into a crime scene. Colonel Ivan Voronych, a senior officer in Ukraine's Security Service (SBU), was shot dead in broad daylight in Holosiivskyi district.Here's the BBC's summary: “A top official from the Security Service of Ukraine was killed in Kyiv in a suspected assassination.” Reuters confirmed the grim details: “A senior Ukrainian security officer was gunned down in a residential parking lot in Kyiv… The slain agent was a colonel in the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).”----------PLASMA AND AMBULANCES APPEAL:Please write to: Director Objective Ukraine, Info@ObjectiveUkraine.comBefore we do this is a message from a dear friend in Kyiv who works with the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence. He says, there is a serious shortage of blood plasma here in Ukraine. He has had several messages from ex-comrades and medics, asking if the Allies can help find much needed plasma for medical stations at various depths behind the 'zero' or front-line. This shortage is risking the lives of wounded fighting men and women and, all too often, the medics and ambulance drivers who try to evacuate them.A medic friend who has been saving lives in Ukraine for three years, he says, explained how she lost four medic friends and units sustained several casualties, because of the lack of medical evacuation units, ambulances at the front and plasma. During recent delays in receiving equipment and supplies, one group had to walk out...like WW1 stretcher bearers...during which episode they suffered 50% casualties from enemy drones. Including new solar powered drone variants. We desperately need to find ways to improve casualty survival rates, with basic supplies like plasma that we take for granted outside Ukraine. ----------DESCRIPTION:Shock Assassination in Ukraine: Shadow Warfare and RetaliationWelcome to Silicon Bites!

The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, says emergency workers will be relentless in their search for everyone missing after catastrophic flash floods. At least 27 girls from a Christian summer camp are unaccounted for. More than 50 people are known to have died. There is a lot of anger that, for some Texans, official flood warnings came too late. Also in the programme: Israel and Hamas are due to begin indirect talks in Qatar on a potential ceasefire and hostage release deal; and billionaire Elon Musk gives a name to his new political party: "The America Party".

Hassan El-Tayyeb of the Friends Committee on National Legislation returns with an update on the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the growing movement to end U.S. support for the assault. Then, Mackenzie Knight Boyle from the Federation of American Scientists walks us through the scale and secrecy of the U.S. nuclear weapons program — and the risks it poses to the world. Finally, constitutional scholar Bruce Fein joins us to call out the unchecked power and ethical failures of the Supreme Court.Hassan El-Tayyab is the lead lobbyist on Middle East policy for the Friends Committee on National Legislation. Mr. El-Tayyab co-chairs the U.S. Ceasefire Coalition and leads the Friends Committee's work to end the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, advocate for Palestinian human rights, and advance diplomacy with Iran.(The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) militarizes aid and is run by private armed contractors. It violates all these principles of neutrality, independence, impartiality. And we even saw the GHF's own executive director, Jake Wood, resign in protest in May, saying that he couldn't work in a way that didn't adhere to these humanitarian principles.Hassan El-TayyabMackenzie Knight-Boyle is a Senior Research Associate for the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists, where she co-authors the Nuclear Notebook––an authoritative open-source estimate of global nuclear forces and trends.Probably the scariest false alarm was in 1979, A training cassette that was simulating a massive attack with nuclear missiles from the Soviet Union on the United States was mistakenly entered into the primary computer system of North American Aerospace Defense Command, NORAD. And it was then broadcast to other command centers as if it was going out in the National Command Authority alert system. And because of that, the proper procedures were followed for a situation like this, where the fighter jets took off. The nuclear bombers, carrying nuclear weapons, were put into the sky, missile crews were put on high alert, which means the missiles are ready to launch within seconds. And the president's doomsday plane, which is essentially the war room in the sky for the president in emergency situations, was also put into the air. And it took six minutes for them to realize that this was a training cassette that had been mistakenly put into the system.Mackenzie Knight-BoyleBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.There can be good faith disagreements over the interpretation of the Constitution. But when you have a course of action which so systematically shows a favoritism towards limitless executive power towards corporations as well with regard to money and politics, no longer does it seem to be a matter of good faith, a disagreement, but it's a matter of advancing the partisan political interests of the president, the presidency, and that is, I think, an impeachable offense.Bruce Fein (on impeaching Supreme Court justices)News 7/4/251. The New York City Board of Elections has released the final results in the Democratic Mayoral primary – after accounting for reallocation of votes via ranked-choice tabulations. The final results are stunning. Zohran Mamdani, up by approximately seven points on election night, has emerged with a whopping 12-point victory over disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Perhaps even more impressive, Mamdani completely reshaped the electorate. According to the New York Times, he turned out young people in record numbers to the point that the largest voter bloc in this election was 18–29-year-olds, a complete reversal of usual trends.2. Speaking of reversing trends, it is worth reviewing Zohran's victory in light of the groups he won by large margins. Namely men, including young men of all backgrounds, as well as Latino and Asian voters, per Jacobin. These are groups that Democrats have notably lost ground with, including in New York City, and have devoted considerable resources to winning back to their coalition. Zohran's win therefore should give Democrats a new sense of optimism and they should seek to embrace the winning course that he has charted.3. Of course, being the Democratic Party, they are instead doing the opposite. Despite his earthquake victory, few high-profile New York Democrats have endorsed Zohran. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has not, nor has Governor Kathy Hochul, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, or other powerful New York House Democrats like Gregory Meeks. The other U.S. Senator from New York, Kirsten Gillibrand, has been openly hostile, calling Zohran “permissive [of] violence against Jews,” in an interview with Brian Lehrer on WNYC. This is of course racist, inflammatory and flatly untrue. Under pressure from other Democrats, Gillibrand retracted her statement, and “apologized for mischaracterizing Mamdani's record and for her tone on the call,” according to POLITICO. This however gives us a taste of the kind of dirty tricks and defamatory rhetoric the party could deploy against Mamdani between now and November.4. That said, Zohran is picking up significant backing locally – an indication that those actually on the ground know which way the wind is blowing. On Monday, Mamdani was endorsed by the NYC Central Labor Council-AFL-CIO. The NYCCLC is “the nation's largest regional labor federation…[bringing] together 300 unions… [and representing] more than 1 million workers.” On Tuesday, he won the endorsement of New York Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, who represents Westchester, according to reporter Vaughn Golden. Zohran has already earned the endorsement of New York Attorney General Tish James. Expect this divergence between national and local Democratic figures to continue.5. In stark contrast to Zohran, whose political brand is defined by seemingly endless energy, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman shocked observers this week when he complained about having to do the bare minimum as a U.S. Senator. According to Rolling Stone, during Senate deliberations on the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” Fetterman was quoted saying “I just want to go home. I've missed our entire trip to the beach.” Fetterman's comments are particularly galling seeing as he has been chronically absent from Senate hearings, committee meetings and even votes. In other words, Fetterman is complaining about doing the bare minimum for the people of Pennsylvania, but is failing to do even that.6. The bill did of course pass, with Vice-President JD Vance voting to break a 50-50 tie vote in the Senate. On Twitter, Vance justified his vote from criticism regarding its massive cuts to Medicaid by saying “The thing that will bankrupt this country more than any other policy is flooding the country with illegal immigration and then giving those migrants generous benefits. The OBBB fixes this problem. And therefore it must pass.” AOC called his vote, “An absolute and utter betrayal of working families.”7. In more news related to the bill, Trump and Elon Musk have been trading threats regarding its passage. On Monday, TIME reported Elon Musk tweeted, “If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uni-party, so that the people actually have a voice.” Musk added, “Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame…they will lose their primary next year, if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.” Musk has also reportedly thrown his financial weight behind Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky, perhaps the most vocal critic of Trump in the House Republican caucus. Trump is already backing a primary challenge against Massie; Musk intervening on the other side has turned this race into a climactic proxy battle between the two figures once called “co-presidents.”8. Trump, for his part, threatened to deport Elon Musk. Asked about this directly, Trump told reporters, “We'll have to take a look. We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? The monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn't that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies,” per USA Today. This is of course true. Musk's companies have received billions in corporate welfare from the federal government over the years. It is unclear how much the stock value of, for instance Tesla, would suffer from the money faucet being turned off.9. Entertaining as Trump's threats to deport Musk are however, we should not lose sight of the ever-darker reality of deportation setting in nationwide. NOLA.com reports “An Iranian woman who has lived in the United States for 47 years, has no criminal record, and is married to a US citizen was detained by ICE as she gardened outside her New Orleans home.” Expect to hear more stories of secret police rounding up law abiding Americans in the days to come.10. Finally, in more positive news, Reuters reports China is quietly moving to rebuild Cuba's energy grid. This report notes that “Officials…announced China was participating in a project to modernize Cuba's entire electrical grid, with 55 solar parks to be built in 2025, and another 37 by 2028, for a total of 2,000 MW - a massive undertaking that, when complete, would represent nearly two-thirds of present-day demand.” Cuba joined China's international infrastructure development program Belt and Road in 2018. This report notes that China is taking on the development role that Russia formerly played in Havana, but has been unable to deliver on since it embarked on its special military operation-turned-quagmire in Ukraine. Cuba's energy grid has experienced continue failures for the past several years for myriad reasons, exacerbated by Trump's increasingly draconian sanctions regime. This is just another example of a reality becoming increasingly clear to much of the world: the U.S. tears down developing countries' infrastructure, China helps build it up.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Remarkable, and in a dramatic change from the Biden tradition, previous months were revised higher: April was revised up by 11,000, from +147,000 to +158,000, and the change for May was revised up by 5,000, from +139,000 to +144,000. It wasn't just the headline print that surprised to the upside: perhaps an even bigger surprise was the unemployment rate which dropped from 4.2% to 4.1%, denying expectations of an increase to 4.3%, and far below the Fed's recently upward revised estimate of a 4.5%.   Source: zerohedge.com (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs"); https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/1940771612821016924 Media Declares Trump Tariffs a Failure Because Mark Cuban's Luxury Dog Bed Company Can't Make Product for Under $250 The corporate media launched a coordinated spin campaign this week, declaring President Donald Trump's tariffs a failure because a luxury dog bed startup backed by leftist billionaire Mark Cuban couldn't find a way to manufacture its high-end pet products in America for under $250. Reuters, U.S. News & World Report, and Fast Company each ran virtually identical stories sourced to Reuters on July 2 featuring the same weak anecdote: a California-based startup named “Plufl” that “tried to make its dog beds in the U.S.” but “couldn't make it work.” Left-wing media regurgitates the same stories to their readers, typically without context, critical facts, and without the obvious inconsistencies addressed. The supposed tragedy in this story pushed by the media? American labor and material costs made their luxury dog beds, which were designed for the upper crust of the canine world, too expensive for their well-heeled customers, who balked at a $250 price tag. The featured company is no mom-and-pop shop. It was backed by Mark Cuban's venture capital firm and boosted by Shark Tank media exposure. The founders, in typical corporate fashion, blamed Trump's China tariffs for making their venture into American manufacturing untenable.
