President Donald Trump has taken an increasingly personal role in the government's clemency process, wielding pardons aid his allies and advance his own political grievances.A Reuters investigation found that 96% of Trump's second-term clemency grants have gone to recipients who didn't fulfill longstanding DOJ guidelines for such requests. Past presidents on have sidestepped those rules before, but fewer than 1% of those who received clemency during the Biden administration and just 14% of recipients in Trump's first presidency failed to meet the guidelines.Pardon applicants once had to comply with longstanding DOJ guidelines, such as a five-year wait after conviction or demonstrated remorse for their crimes. But a Reuters' analysis shows that under Trump, clemency now is far more dependent upon access to his inner circle. They also found that “access is enhanced when an applicant can craft a narrative that resonates with the president's own sense of victimization.”During his first administration, Trump granted just 238 pardons and commutations, most of which came amid his frantic final days in office. But this term the White House has made clemencies a key part of its agenda.As part of our weekly series “If You Can Keep it,” we discuss pardons in the second Trump Administration.Find more of our programs online.

Ukrainian strikes on energy facilities in Russian-occupied Crimea have left its biggest city, Sevastopol, without power. The Moscow-appointed governor urged residents not to panic. Ukraine has been intensifying attacks across Crimea as it attempts to cut off the peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014. The authorities have been forced to suspend fuel sales to the public. Also: as sweltering temperatures continue across Europe, tens of thousands of homes are without power in northern France. Temperatures are set to peak across the country on Wednesday during a record-breaking heatwave. The US Senate has approved a measure demanding that President Trump halt the war in Iran or seek congressional approval before continuing military action.

New Mexico's Epstein Truth Commission has expanded its investigation well beyond Zorro Ranch by subpoenaing federal prosecutors' offices in South Carolina, southern Florida, Michigan's eastern and western districts, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The commission is looking for records showing whether those offices investigated Jeffrey Epstein, had information about his alleged crimes, and then declined to prosecute him. That matters because it pushes the inquiry past the familiar Florida non-prosecution deal with Alexander Acosta and into a broader question: how many offices, agencies, and officials had pieces of the Epstein puzzle and chose not to act?The South Carolina angle is part of that wider dragnet, not a standalone accusation that prosecutors there committed wrongdoing. According to Reuters, the new round of subpoenas brought the commission's total to roughly 23, targeting law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, and other entities as New Mexico tries to identify people in power who may have known about Epstein's abuse and looked away. The New Mexico DOJ is also running an active criminal investigation into Epstein-related activity in the state, including Zorro Ranch, and is asking the public for credible tips. For survivors, including Rachel Benavidez, the subpoenas represent another attempt to pierce the institutional silence that protected Epstein for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:New Mexico targets Jeffrey Epstein investigations in SCBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Il y a dix ans, le Brexit a plongé le Royaume-Uni en pleine terra incognita. Les partisans du « leave » (quitter, partir) promettaient un Royaume-Uni libéré du joug de Bruxelles, enrichi et maître de son destin, tandis que les pro-Européens mettaient en garde contre le repli sur soi et un possible désastre économique.Mais que s'est-il passé en réalité ? Le Brexit a-t-il été une bénédiction ou une calamité ? Ou encore finalement ni l'un ni l'autre ? Quelles conséquences ce « big bang » institutionnel a-t-il eues pour les sujets de Sa Majesté ?Dix ans plus tard, le pays n'a pas beaucoup changé, mais il s'est enfoncé dans une crise politique sans fin. Avec la démission le 22 juin du premier ministre, Keir Starmer, le pays devrait bientôt connaître son septième premier ministre en dix ans.

VOV1 - Các phái đoàn Mỹ và Iran vừa hoàn tất vòng đàm phán đầu tiên tại Thụy Sĩ, kể từ khi hai bên ký Bản ghi nhớ nhằm chấm dứt cuộc xung đột kéo dài gần 4 tháng ở Trung Đông. Cuộc gặp được đánh giá là bước đi quan trọng nhằm hướng tới một thỏa thuận toàn diện về hạt nhân, an ninh khu vực và dỡ bỏ các lệnh trừng phạt.Kết thúc cuộc đàm phán với sự tham gia của các nhà trung gian Qatar và Pakistan, các bên đã có một số bước tiến nhất định như nhất trí thiết lập một đường dây liên lạc hay lộ trình đàm phán 60 ngày đi đến thỏa thuận toàn diện cuối cùng. Tuy nhiên giới quan sát nhận định, các kết quả này chỉ là khởi đầu của một hành trình đầy thách thức và khó khăn phía trướcBộ trưởng Ngoại giao Iran Abbas Araqchi và Chủ tịch Quốc hội Iran Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf cùng phái đoàn Iran tại Hội nghị thượng đỉnh ở Thụy Sĩ.

Jon Herold comes in Monday one day from Deadwood and GART, which means the show is lighter on prep and heavier on honesty. Reuters confirmed what Jon's source already told him: the White House has been sitting on the ODNI voting machine vulnerability report for months over concerns it could undermine voter confidence, and Jon asks the obvious question about what a limited hangout looks like if the report just says the machines need a software update. His source still says the election declass is on track for Wednesday. The White House and Department of War CTO both posted quantum computing content that the decoder community immediately lost its mind over, and Jon delivers a calm and mildly exasperated explanation of why a social media intern trolling is not a Q signal. Iran negotiations are in their now-familiar pattern: JD Vance says Iran agreed to UN nuclear inspectors and the US issued a 60-day oil waiver, Iran immediately denied making new commitments, and Jon sees both sides possibly contradicting each other on purpose to keep everyone confused. DHS is tying federal grants to election reforms including paper ballots and mandatory audits. The Biden audio tapes have been cleared for release. Keir Starmer resigned as UK prime minister. Colombia's president is claiming Israeli election software stole his election. Jon is not packed yet.

Épisode 1491 : Les chiffres viennent de tomber. Pour la première fois, les réseaux sociaux et les plateformes vidéo sont devant la télé, les sites de presse et la radio comme source d'info dans le monde. 54% des gens disent s'être informés via les réseaux au cours de la dernière semaine, contre 52% pour la télé et 51% pour les sites d'actu. Le point de bascule : les chiffres sont làOn a longtemps dit “un jour, les réseaux dépasseront la télé”. Ce jour-là, est arrivé. C'est maintenant.Le Digital News Report de Reuters est formel. Ils ont interrogé 100 000 internautes dans 48 pays sur leurs sources d'information. Aujourd'hui, 54% des personnes interrogées dans le monde disent s'informer au moins une fois par semaine via les réseaux sociaux. Les médias dits “traditionnels” arrivent derrière : 52% pour la télévision, 51% pour les sites et applis de médias, 21% pour la radio. Depuis 2020, la télé et les applis de médias ont perdu plus de dix points, pendant que l'usage des réseaux pour s'informer progresse dans la majorité des pays étudiés. À l'échelle mondiale, près d'un tiers des gens disent même que les réseaux et les plateformes vidéo sont leur source d'info principale, devant tous les autres supports.On ne va plus vers l'info, c'est elle qui vient à nousLe vrai changement, ce n'est pas seulement “où” on s'informe, c'est “comment”. Avant, tu décidais : “je mets les infos”. Tu allumais la télé, tu ouvrais un site, tu prenais un journal. Aujourd'hui, tu ouvres une app. Et c'est ton feed qui décide ce que tu vois. L'étude le montre bien : sur des plateformes comme Instagram, TikTok ou Facebook, l'info arrive de façon impromptue, au milieu d'un flux pensé d'abord pour la rétention et le divertissement. Tu viens pour scroller, tu repars avec un conflit géopolitiqueou une catastrophe naturelle. On a donc deux régimes d'info qui cohabitent : l'info qu'on va chercher et l'info qui nous tombe dessus. Et très clairement, c'est la deuxième qui prend de plus en plus de place dans nos journées.Un phénomène accentué pour les nouvelles générationsLà où ça devient vraiment intéressant, c'est quand tu regardes par âge. Chez les 18–24 ans, les réseaux sociaux sont la première source d'info pour une personne sur deux. En Europe, une enquête du Parlement européen montre que 42% des 16–30 ans s'informent d'abord sur les réseaux pour la politique et les questions de société, devant la télé. Et dans cette tranche, Instagram est la première plateforme d'info, TikTok la deuxième. Ce que ça change pour les médias… et pour nousPour les médias, la conséquence est violente. Ils ne contrôlent plus la porte d'entrée. Ce n'est plus “viens sur mon site”, c'est “si l'algorithme veut bien, tu verras peut-être mon contenu passer”. Côté modèle économique, ca se ressent : à peine 17% des gens payent pour de l'info en ligne, un chiffre globalement stable, alors que les budgets pub continuent de filer vers les plateformes. Si c'est l'algorithme qui choisit, qui décide de ce qui est important ?Si l'info vit dans un feed optimisé pour te garder le plus longtemps possible, qui décide de ce qui est important dans ta journée ? Ce n'est plus un rédac chef qui hiérarchise. L'algorithme sont job c'est de te proposer le contenu qui capte le plus ton attention et ta rétention.

VOV1 - Vòng đàm phán cấp cao đầu tiên giữa Mỹ và Iran tại Thụy Sĩ đã khép lại với những tín hiệu tích cực ban đầu. Theo các nhà trung gian Qatar và Pakistan, các bên đã nhất trí xây dựng lộ trình hướng tới một thỏa thuận toàn diện trong vòng 60 ngày.Theo tuyên bố chung của các nước trung gian, Mỹ và Iran đã nhất trí thành lập một Ủy ban Cấp cao để giám sát tiến trình hòa giải, đồng thời triển khai các nhóm công tác chuyên trách về vấn đề hạt nhân, trừng phạt, cơ chế giải quyết tranh chấp và các nội dung kỹ thuật liên quan. Các cuộc đàm phán kỹ thuật sẽ tiếp tục diễn ra tại Thụy Sĩ trong tuần này.Trên mạng xã hội X, Ngoại trưởng Iran Abbas Araghchi cho biết các cuộc tiếp xúc đã đạt được “tiến bộ lớn”, đồng thời khẳng định các lệnh trừng phạt đối với dầu mỏ Iran đã được dỡ bỏ và một phần tài sản bị phong tỏa ở nước ngoài đã được giải phóng. Ông cũng cho biết một chương trình tái thiết và phát triển quy mô lớn đã được khởi động. Tuy nhiên, nhà ngoại giao hàng đầu Iran chưa công bố chi tiết về giá trị các tài sản được giải tỏa, trong khi phía Mỹ chưa xác nhận chính thức các thông tin này. Trước đó, Phó Tổng thống Mỹ J.D. Vance bày tỏ kỳ vọng tiến trình đối thoại có thể mở ra một giai đoạn mới trong quan hệ khu vực: “Việc mở cửa eo biển Hormuz, việc chấm dứt chương trình hạt nhân của Iran và nhiều mục tiêu quan trọng khác đã đạt được. Câu hỏi đặt ra lúc này là chúng ta còn có thể cùng nhau làm được những gì. Liệu chúng ta có thể mở ra một trang mới, thay đổi một cách lâu dài quan hệ ở Trung Đông hay sẽ quay trở lại lối mòn cũ, điều không ai mong muốn nhưng vẫn là một khả năng hiện hữu.”Hãng thông tấn Fars dẫn lời một thành viên phái đoàn Iran cho biết dự thảo thỏa thuận về việc miễn trừ tạm thời các lệnh trừng phạt đối với hoạt động xuất khẩu dầu và các sản phẩm hóa dầu của Iran đã được hoàn tất. Nếu được triển khai, đây sẽ là bước đi đáng kể giúp Iran cải thiện nguồn thu ngân sách sau nhiều năm chịu sức ép từ các biện pháp cấm vận.Một nội dung đáng chú ý khác là việc Mỹ và Iran nhất trí thiết lập cơ chế giảm xung đột liên quan Lebanon với sự hỗ trợ của Qatar và Pakistan. Theo Ngoại trưởng Abbas Araghchi, đây sẽ là phép thử đầu tiên đối với những cam kết vừa đạt được. Iran từ lâu coi việc chấm dứt giao tranh giữa Israel và Hezbollah là điều kiện quan trọng để tiến trình hòa giải rộng lớn hơn có thể thành công. Tuy nhiên, con đường hướng tới một thỏa thuận cuối cùng vẫn còn nhiều trở ngại. Những bất đồng về chương trình hạt nhân của Iran, tương lai các lệnh trừng phạt, việc giải phóng tài sản bị phong tỏa và an ninh tại eo biển Hormuz vẫn chưa được giải quyết. Tổng thống Iran Masoud Pezeshkian hôm qua một lần nữa nhấn mạnh lập trường đàm phán: “Chúng tôi sẽ không từ bỏ quyền làm giàu urani và phía bên kia cũng sẽ phải chấp nhận thực tế đó. Các bạn đều biết những gì Tổng thống Mỹ đã tuyên bố. Ban đầu, ông ấy yêu cầu Iran đầu hàng vô điều kiện, cho rằng Iran không có quyền làm điều này hay điều kia. Tuy nhiên, trong các phát biểu sau đó, ông ấy lại thừa nhận Iran có quyền đối với một số vấn đề mà trước đây từng phủ nhận. Điều đó cho thấy lập trường của Mỹ đã thay đổi đáng kể so với trước đây và phản ánh thực tế rằng họ không thể phớt lờ các quyền chính đáng của Iran.”Dẫu còn nhiều thách thức, việc Mỹ và Iran đồng ý tiếp tục đối thoại và thiết lập các cơ chế làm việc thường trực cho thấy cả hai bên đều đang tìm kiếm cơ hội giảm căng thẳng sau nhiều năm đối đầu. Phản ứng của thị trường cũng phản ánh kỳ vọng đó khi giá dầu thế giới giảm mạnh sau thông tin về tiến triển trong đàm phán./.Thu Hoài/VOV1Phái đoàn Iran đến Thụy Sĩ hội đàm với phía Mỹ (Ảnh: Reuters).

VOV1 - Bộ Nội vụ Qatar tối qua thông báo một vụ nổ nghiêm trọng đã xảy ra tại cơ sở sản xuất khí tự nhiên hóa lỏng lớn nhất của nước này, khiến nhiều người bị thương.Bộ Nội vụ Qatar cho biết vụ nổ xảy ra do sự cố kỹ thuật, tại một nhà máy sản xuất khí hóa lỏng (LNG) thuộc khu công nghiệp khí đốt chiến lược Ras Laffan, ở phía Bắc thủ đô Doha. Cơ sở này từng bị Iran tập kích trong thời gian xung đột hồi tháng 3. Vụ nổ khiến một số người bị thương, nhưng không đe dọa tính mạng.Bộ Nội vụ Qatar không cho biết vị trí chính xác của vụ nổ. Tuy nhiên, theo một số nguồn tin khu vực, sơ sở xảy ra sự cố là nhà máy khí gas Barzan, thuộc khu công nghiệp Ras Laffan. Nguyên nhân gây nổ là do lỗi vận hành. Mức thiệt hại vật chất cụ thể chưa được công bố.  Liên quan phản ứng của khu vực với tiến trình hòa đàm Mỹ-Iran, Ngoại trưởng 4 nước Ai Cập, Pakistan, Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ và Saudi Arabia, tối qua đã ra tuyên bố chung hoan nghênh việc Washington và Tehran ký bản ghi nhớ Islamabad về chấm dứt giao tranh và triển khai đàm phán. Động thái đưa ra sau cuộc họp đặc biệt giữa 4 Ngoại trưởng tại Cairo, Ai Cập, theo sáng kiến của nước chủ nhà. Đây là cuộc thảo luận thứ 4 trong hơn 2 tháng qua của các Ngoại trưởng nhóm Bộ tứ Trung Đông mới về hỗ trợ giải pháp ngoại giao cho cuộc chiến tranh Mỹ-Israel-Iran. Nỗ lực được tiến hành song trùng với vòng đàm phán chính thức đầu tiên Mỹ-Iran được tổ chức tại Thụy Sỹ hôm qua với sự trợ giúp của các nhà trung gian quốc tế, đứng đầu là Pakistan và Qatar.  Trong tuyên bố chung, Ngoại trưởng 4 nước tái khẳng định tầm quan trọng của việc tiếp tục hoạt động tham vấn và điều phối giữa các nước về ủng hộ hòa bình, an ninh, sự ổn định và thịnh vượng chung tại khu vực Trung Đông cũng như trên toàn thế giới./.VOV/Ai CậpHiện trường vụ việc.

VOV1 - Không ngoài nhận định của giới phân tích, ngày đàm phán đầu tiên giữa Mỹ và Iran tại Thụy Sỹ đã diễn ra trong bầu không khí căng thẳng và đối mặt nguy cơ rơi vào đình trệ. Tuy nhiên, theo tiết lộ mới nhất của phía Iran, đàm phán vẫn tiếp tục diễn ra và phía Mỹ đã chấp nhận dỡ bỏ trừng phạt...Truyền thông nhà nước Iran đêm qua cho biết một thành viên phái đoàn đàm phán nước này đang có mặt tại Thụy Sỹ vừa tiết lộ rằng các bên đã thống nhất được dự thảo cuối cùng về dỡ bỏ trừng phạt của Mỹ đối với lĩnh vực dầu mỏ Iran. Dự kiến, biện pháp sẽ sớm được công bố. Tuy nhiên, các thông tin liên quan khác chưa được tiết lộ.Cùng lúc, một số nguồn tin ngoại giao am hiểu vấn đề khẳng định các cuộc đàm phán vẫn tiếp tục diễn ra và đại diện Iran chưa rời khỏi tiến trình thương thảo. Trước đó, truyền thông Iran và khu vực cho biết phái đoàn đàm phán Iran đã quyết định rút khỏi các cuộc thảo luận, nhằm phản đối việc Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump đe dọa tấn công Iran. Kênh truyền hình Al Mayadeen của Lebanon thậm chí còn khẳng định Iran đã yêu cầu ông Trump phải đưa ra lời xin lỗi, mới chấp nhận trở lại đàm phán. Tuy nhiên, thông tin này chưa được giới chức Iran xác nhận.Vòng đàm phán tại Thụy Sỹ hôm qua có sự tham gia của cả đại diện Mỹ, Iran cùng các nhà trung gian Pakistan và Qatar. Dẫn đầu phái đoàn Mỹ vẫn là Phó Tổng thống JD Vance, trong khi trưởng đoàn phía Iran tiếp tục là Chủ tịch Quốc hội Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf.Đây là cuộc đàm phán thứ 2 giữa đại diện Mỹ và Iran kể từ đầu xung đột, và là lần đối thoại đầu tiên sau khi hai bên thống nhất và ký thỏa thuận sơ bộ hồi tuần trước. Phía Iran khẳng định nội dung thương nghị lần này chỉ tập trung vào vấn đề chấm dứt chiến sự tại Lebanon và dỡ bỏ trừng phạt ngành dầu khí Iran. Vấn đề hạt nhân và urani của Tehran, chỉ được thảo luận sau khi 2 vấn đề trên được giải quyết.Truyền thông và giới phân tích nhận định đây sẽ tiếp tục là một tiến trình mặc cả căng thẳng và đầy thách thức giữa Washington và Tehran. Khoảng thời gian đàm phán 60 ngày mà hai bên đặt ra theo thỏa thuận sơ bộ, được cho là không đủ để có thể giải quyết được toàn bộ các vấn đề liên quan chương trình hạt nhân vốn cực kỳ phức tạp của Iran./.VOV/Ai CậpTổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump.

VOV1 - Bão nhiệt đới Mekkhala- tên địa phương Franciso đang mạnh dần lên  khi tiến gần Philippines, với dự đoán đạt cường độ cực đại vào ngày mai 22/06 hoặc 23/06.Trong bản tin lúc 11 giờ sáng ( giờ địa phương), Cơ quan Khí tượng, Địa vật lý và Thiên văn Philippines (Pagasa) thông báo, Mekkhala đang có sức gió duy trì tối đa 110 km/giờ và gió giật lên đến 135 km/giờ. Cơn bão được quan sát lần cuối cách 1.170 km về phía đông nam Luzon, di chuyển về phía tây bắc với tốc độ 25 km/giờ. Pagasa lưu ý rằng Mekkhala sẽ “tiếp tục mạnh lên và có thể đạt cấp bão vào hôm nay”. Mekkhala sẽ mạnh hơn nữa và đạt cường độ cực đại trong một hoặc 2 ngày tới.Để đề phòng gió mạnh từ bão Mekkhala, cảnh báo cấp 1 có thể được ban hành cho một số khu vực ở Cagayan, quần đảo Babuyan và Batanes vào sáng mai ( 22/06).Mekkhala là cơn bão nhiệt đới thứ 6 của Philippines trong năm 2026 và là cơn bão thứ hai trong tháng 6. Bão được dự đoán có thể rời khỏi Khu vực theo dõi của Philippines vào ngày 26 tháng 6./.Phạm Hà/VOV JakartaPhilippines thường xuyên đối mặt với các cơn bão mạnh- Nguồn ảnh Reuters

VOV1 - Hôm nay ( 21/6), Thụy Sĩ sẽ trở thành tâm điểm ngoại giao quốc tế khi các phái đoàn Mỹ, Iran, Pakistan và các bên liên quan tập trung tại đây để chuẩn bị cho vòng đàm phán đầu tiên nhằm triển khai Bản ghi nhớ chấm dứt xung đột vừa được ký kết giữa Mỹ và Iran.Tuy nhiên, những tuyên bố cứng rắn từ cả hai phía cùng diễn biến phức tạp tại Li-băng và eo biển Hormuz cho thấy con đường từ ngừng bắn đến hòa bình vẫn còn nhiều trở ngại.Từ Washington, Phó Tổng thống JD Vance lên đường tới Thụy Sĩ với thông điệp khá rõ ràng. Ông cho biết ưu tiên hàng đầu của Mỹ là đạt tiến triển trong hai hồ sơ then chốt: chương trình hạt nhân Iran và việc duy trì lệnh ngừng bắn tại Liban."Tôi hy vọng chúng tôi đang đạt được tiến triển về vấn đề hạt nhân, tiến triển về vấn đề ngừng bắn ở Lebanon. Đây là hai vấn đề lớn mà nhân sự của chúng tôi đang thực sự tập trung vào."Phát biểu này cho thấy Mỹ muốn tận dụng khoảng thời gian ngừng bắn 60 ngày để xử lý những nguyên nhân sâu xa của cuộc xung đột, thay vì chỉ dừng lại ở việc chấm dứt giao tranh trước mắt.Trong khi đó, lập trường của Iran mang màu sắc khác. Người phát ngôn Bộ Ngoại giao Iran Esmaeil Baghaei hôm qua nhấn mạnh, Iran đến Thụy Sĩ không chỉ để đàm phán, mà còn để yêu cầu phía Mỹ thực hiện đầy đủ các cam kết đã ký."Cam kết đổi lấy cam kết. Nếu phía bên kia từ chối thực hiện nghĩa vụ của mình, Cộng hòa Hồi giáo Iran sẽ đáp trả bằng các biện pháp cần thiết."Thông điệp này phản ánh sự hoài nghi vốn tồn tại lâu nay trong quan hệ Mỹ-Iran. Iran muốn nhìn thấy các bước đi cụ thể liên quan tới dỡ bỏ trừng phạt, chấm dứt các hoạt động quân sự của các lực lượng đồng minh Mỹ trong khu vực trước khi tiến xa hơn trong đàm phán.Về phía Pakistan, là quốc gia đóng vai trò trung gian quan trọng dẫn tới Bản ghi nhớ vừa qua, Pakistan cũng cử đoàn cấp cao tới Thụy Sĩ. Việc Thủ tướng Shehbaz Sharif cùng Tổng Tham mưu trưởng quân đội Pakistan trực tiếp tham gia cho thấy Pakistan muốn bảo đảm tiến trình đối thoại không bị đổ vỡ ngay từ giai đoạn đầu. Đối với Pakistan, thành công của đàm phán không chỉ giúp ổn định khu vực mà còn khẳng định vai trò ngày càng nổi bật của nước này trong các nỗ lực hòa giải quốc tế.Tuy nhiên, ngay trước thời điểm các bên ngồi vào bàn đàm phán, căng thẳng mới lại xuất hiện. Ngày 20/6, Iran tuyên bố đóng eo biển Hormuz đối với hoạt động hàng hải, cáo buộc Mỹ không thực hiện đầy đủ các cam kết trong thỏa thuận và cho rằng Israel vẫn tiếp tục các hoạt động quân sự tại miền Nam Liban. Đáp lại, Tổng thống Donald Trump cảnh báo trên mạng xã hội Truth Social rằng Mỹ có thể áp đặt phí đối với hoạt động hàng hải qua Hormuz nếu các cuộc đàm phán không đạt được thỏa thuận cuối cùng. Những diễn biến này cho thấy dù đã đạt được ngừng bắn, cả Mỹ và Iran vẫn tiếp tục sử dụng các công cụ gây sức ép nhằm củng cố vị thế trên bàn thương lượng.Tuy nhiên, trong bối cảnh đó vẫn xuất hiện những tín hiệu tích cực có thể hỗ trợ tiến trình đàm phán. Chiều 20/6, Thủ tướng Israel Benjamin Netanyahu và Bộ trưởng Quốc phòng Israel Israel Katz đã chỉ đạo quân đội nước này kiềm chế nổ súng tại Liban sau quá trình tham vấn với phía Mỹ. Mặc dù quân đội Israel chưa rút khỏi miền Nam Liban, quyết định này được đánh giá là động thái nhằm tránh làm gia tăng căng thẳng đúng vào thời điểm các cuộc tiếp xúc ngoại giao đang được nối lại tại Thụy Sĩ.Theo đánh giá của giới quan sát, việc các phái đoàn đồng loạt tập trung tại Thụy Sĩ cho thấy cơ hội đối thoại hiện vẫn đang được duy trì. Tuy nhiên, những bất đồng về việc thực thi các cam kết ngừng bắn, tranh cãi liên quan tới eo biển Hormuz và tình hình Liban cho thấy các bên vẫn bước vào đàm phán với tâm thế vừa hợp tác vừa đề phòng lẫn nhau. Bởi vậy, thách thức lớn nhất tại Thụy Sĩ không phải là khởi động đối thoại, mà là xây dựng được lòng tin đủ để biến thỏa thuận ngừng bắn mong manh hiện nay thành một tiến trình hòa bình bền vững hơn cho khu vực Trung Đông./. Hồng Nhung/Ban Thời sự VOV1Đàm phán Mỹ-Iran sẽ diễn ra tại Thụy Sĩ.

VOV1 - Dưới tác động của hiện tượng “vòm nhiệt” cực đoan, đợt nắng nóng gay gắt đầu mùa hè năm 2026 đang càn quét trên diện rộng, biến phần lớn khu vực Tây và Trung Âu thành một "chảo lửa" khổng lồ với mức nhiệt kỷ lục, đe dọa nghiêm trọng đến đời sống, hạ tầng và kinh tế toàn châu lục. Tại Pháp, nắng nóng kéo dài đã làm biến dạng đường ray khiến hàng chục chuyến tàu bị hủy bỏ, nhiều trường học phải tạm thời cho học sinh nghỉ học. Nguy cơ cháy rừng cũng đang bùng phát ở mức báo động đỏ tại các thảm thực vật khô cằn vùng Địa Trung Hải. Về mặt kinh tế, Thống đốc Ngân hàng Trung ương Pháp, Emmanuel Moulin, cảnh báo các đợt sóng nhiệt lặp đi lặp lại sẽ làm suy giảm năng suất lao động đáng kể và đè nặng lên các hoạt động kinh tế trung hạn của khu vực, dù nhu cầu tiêu thụ năng lượng, như làm mát, đang tăng vọt.Thủ tướng Pháp Sebastien Lecornu đã phải triệu tập cuộc họp khủng hoảng cấp bộ trưởng khi cơ quan khí tượng Météo France đặt hơn 60 tỉnh vào trạng thái cảnh báo cam (mức nguy hiểm thứ hai). Nhiệt độ tại Paris và các vùng lân cận chạm ngưỡng 39°C - 40°C, đi kèm độ ẩm cao khiến nhiệt độ cảm nhận thực tế lên tới 44°C. Chính quyền Paris đã phải ra lệnh mở cửa các công viên xuyên đêm để người dân giải nhiệt, đồng thời hạn chế bán đồ uống có cồn trong lễ hội âm nhạc Fête de la Musique do lo ngại rủi ro sức khỏe khi kết hợp giữa rượu và sốc nhiệt. Anh Nicolas Thames, người dân Pháp nhấn mạnh nhu cầu được ra ngoài và tìm nơi hạ nhiệt:“Ở trong nhà nhiệt độ rất nhanh lên tới hơn 30°C, còn ở đây chúng tôi đang ở trong bóng râm, lại có chút gió. Chỉ cần nhảy xuống nước là cơ thể lập tức hạ nhiệt, nên lúc này tôi thấy rất dễ chịu.”Các thành phố lớn ở miền Bắc và miền Trung Italy lần đầu tiên trong năm ghi nhận mức nhiệt chạm mốc 40°C. Tại thủ đô Rome, hoạt động tham quan của du khách tại các địa danh như Đấu trường Colosseum biến thành một cuộc thử thách sức bền khi mọi người phải xếp hàng dài dưới nắng và đổ xô tìm các bóng râm hoặc vòi nước công cộng.Cơ quan khí tượng Đức (DWD) phát báo động nhiệt độ trên diện rộng khi mức nhiệt áp sát 38°C. Sự kết hợp giữa không khí nóng và độ ẩm cao còn làm tăng nguy cơ kích hoạt các trận giông bão dữ dội, mưa đá và lũ cục bộ vào cuối tuần.Thị trấn Schaffhausen ở phía bắc Thụy Sĩ vừa ghi nhận mức nhiệt tháng 6 cao nhất trong lịch sử là 35,7°C. Trong khi đó, dù nằm tách biệt hơn, Anh và xứ Wales cũng vừa trải qua mùa xuân ấm nhất lịch sử và đang đối mặt với mức nhiệt dự báo lên tới 34°C ở khu vực Đông Nam. Bà Hanna Morgan, một người dân chia sẻ:“Đúng là trời rất nóng. Tôi chỉ cố gắng giữ cho mình mát mẻ, bật quạt liên tục và thật sự mong sớm được đến văn phòng có điều hòa.”Các chuyên gia cảnh báo châu Âu đang nóng lên với tốc độ nhanh gần gấp đôi so với mức trung bình của toàn cầu. Hiện tượng biến đổi khí hậu cùng sự xuất hiện của chu kỳ El Niño mạnh trong năm 2026 đang khiến các đợt thiên tai này đến sớm và khốc liệt hơn./.Anh Tuấn /VOV-ParisChính quyền Paris đã phải ra lệnh mở cửa các công viên xuyên đêm để người dân giải nhiệt - Ảnh: Reuters

Ralph welcomes political consultant and pollster, Celinda Lake, to outline a ten-point Progressive Contract for America that she and Ralph believe – if adopted by Democratic candidates— will ensure they landslide the Republicans in the midterms. Then, Ben Cohen stops by to fill us in on his “Free Ben & Jerry!” campaign to take back the brand from the conglomerate that no longer retains the social justice values of their original company. Plus, Marine Corp veteran, Matthew Hoh, tells us about the provocative speech he made on Veterans Day entitled “Armistice Day and the Empire.”Celinda Lake is a political strategist and president of Lake Research Partners. She and her firm are known for cutting-edge research on issues including the economy, health care, the environment and education, and have worked for a number of institutions including the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Governor's Association, AFL-CIO, SEIU, CWA, Sierra Club, NARAL, Human Rights Campaign, Planned Parenthood, VoteVets Action Fund, and the Kaiser Family Foundation. Her international work has included work in Liberia, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus Ukraine, South Africa, and Central America.I think [a Compact for America] is a really, really, really important idea, and it's absolutely essential to winning…And it should include concrete economic proposals. And it is noticeable that the two people who won governorships in 2025—Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill—both had contracts with their voters.Celinda LakeDemocrats need to lay out ten concrete proposals and run on them. We have the critique of what's going on. We understand what's happening in real people's lives. The third leg of the stool is offering our alternative—and a concrete alternative that people can pass on to their friends and family, that people can hold us accountable for. And the last of the ten proposals in the contract needs to be something about campaign finance reform. We have to get corporate money out of politics, or our system will continue to be rigged against us and rotting from the middle.Celinda LakeBen Cohen is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and longtime anti-war activist. He is a co-founder of the ice cream company Ben & Jerry's and a prominent supporter of progressive causes. He is co-founder of Up In Arms, a public education and advocacy campaign pushing for a common-sense approach to military budgeting.What's happened is that the company recently got owned by the Magnum Corporation, and the Magnum Corporation has disbanded that independent board of directors. I mean, it's kind of a crazy, stupid move because it's under that independent board (which has legal authority over the social mission and the quality of the product and the use of the trademark) it's under that independent board that the company has grown and done so well. But they've gotten rid of the independent board.Ben CohenWhen Ben & Jerry's was in the midst of trying to fend off this acquisition, there were some new laws that were passed in Vermont that allowed a consideration of the benefit of the community with regard to a potential sale. And after the sale happened, B Corporation started. And I've talked with the founder of B Corp, and he was saying that one of the inspirations for starting B Corporations was what happened to Ben & Jerry's. So B Corporations are a different legal structure for corporations which requires them to take into account the social benefit to the community and legally makes it easier to resist these efforts to have the company taken over.Ben CohenMatthew Hoh is a disabled Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq War and former Afghan War State Department Officer. In 2009, after being appointed to the Foreign Service, Hoh resigned his post in Afghanistan over the Obama administration's escalation of the Afghan War. He is now an analyst and commentator on foreign and military policy issues as a senior fellow with the Eisenhower Media Network. He serves on the advisory boards of many peace organizations, including Veterans for Peace and World Beyond War, and is an associate member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity.The United States recognized Armistice Day as a holiday until after the Second World War. And then in the height of the Cold War in the early 1950s, this idea of a holiday dedicated to peace, a holiday dedicated to the abrogation of warfare, a holiday that exposed just how false the motives for war are—oh that was incredibly troublesome. That was very problematic for the American empire (again, at the height of the Cold War). So there was this campaign to rename Armistice Day to Veterans Day. And this way, it became not a remembrance of the horrors of war, of what war entailed, of who profited from war. But rather a celebration of American veterans, that they have won freedoms, they have protected us from overseas enemies—and utilizing veterans, then, as a tool to crush dissent, to silence opposition.Matthew HohClick here to sign up to get a copy of Matthew Hoh's "Armistice Day and the Empire”News 6/19/26* Our top stories this week are about major local progressive victories. Here in Washington, DC Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George – endorsed by a broad coalition of groups including the Metro DC DSA, the AFL-CIO, the Sierra Club and many more – has triumphed in the Mayoral primary. Lewis George trounced her centrist opponent, Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, who was backed both by major local corporate interests, such as the realtor lobby and even the Washington Parking Association, but also Democratic Party power brokers, including two former DNC Chairs. Lewis George, hailed as DC's answer to Zohran Mamdani, won over 50% of the vote in the first round, meaning that while this is DC's first mayoral election under ranked-choice voting, this race will not trigger this mechanism. McDuffie, for his part, won around 36% of the vote, coming ahead of Lewis George only in Ward 3, the wealthiest in the District. While votes remain to be counted, McDuffie has conceded.* Another DSA-backed candidate is poised to win a seat on the DC council. In Ward 1, Aparna Raj appears to have come up just short of 50% but while this means the race will go to a second round of ranked-choice reallocation, given that Raj is more than 25 points ahead of her nearest opponent, her victory is all but guaranteed. This is based upon data from the DC Board of Elections. Raj's impending victory, paired with that of Janeese Lewis George and others like Oye Owolewa demonstrates that the DC DSA is an electoral force to be reckoned with.* In more progressive electoral news, Semafor reports Bernie Sanders has endorsed former Congresswoman Cori Bush in her “comeback” bid for her old seat. Bush, a nurse and Black Lives Matter activist, was a member of the “Squad” in the House before she was defeated by a primary challenge from the right, backed in large part by AIPAC money. With the Republican redistricting in her home state of Missouri, this seat is now the sole remaining safe Democratic seat in the Show-Me State. In a statement, Bush said she was “honored to be endorsed” by Sanders, whom she called a “true leader in our movement to guarantee healthcare, housing, and childcare for all.”* Another much-publicized Bernie endorsement was announced this week: that of Tennessee state Rep. Justin J. Pearson. Pearson was originally running as a primary challenger against longtime incumbent Congressman Steve Cohen in Tennessee's 9th congressional district, but since the state Republicans redrew the districts Cohen has decided to retire, leaving the Democratic nomination to Pearson for the taking. While this district has been drawn in such a way to make it difficult for a Democrat to win, Pearson argues that “You've got a number of disaffected Republican voters, you've got a number of distraught MAGA voters, and you've got fired-up Democrats, which is a perfect recipe for success for us…Because our tent is big enough for everybody who is feeling that this status quo was rigged and broken against working-class folk, and want to see a future that is more just,” per the Intercept.* Elsewhere in the South, the race in Florida's 20th congressional district is descending into chaos. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the powerful centrist Democratic congresswoman who was drawn out of her traditional seat by the recent Republican-led redistricting is now officially running in this district, a move that “disappointed” Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried, according to the Miami Herald. Fried further stated that Wasserman Schultz “[refused] to engage in meaningful dialogue about her decision.” Elijah Manley, the progressive candidate in this race, had harsher words for DWS. In a quote reported by Florida Politics, Manley stated “I'm not surprised that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is carpetbagging to FL-20, a black opportunity district, abandoning her own district and constituents…She is no different than the Republicans that are eviscerating black representation across the South. She is everything that's wrong with the broken unpopular Democratic establishment…I look forward to retiring her from public office permanently.”* Facing down the barrel of this decision, several of the Black candidates running in the 20th convened to discuss a plan to consolidate in order to ensure the district would continue to be represented by a Black member of Congress, as it has been for the past 34 years. However, CBS reports that plan has “fallen apart” as the filing deadline passed with none of the major Black candidates bowing out. This report includes statements from Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who, the piece notes, resigned from this very seat in disgrace earlier this year amid a congressional ethics investigation, saying she is “excited to campaign in the district I have represented for the last 5 years.” Dale Holness, the former Mayor of Broward County, said, “It has to be about policies that produce prosperity for the people.” Elijah Manley, said “I think it's going to come down to who works the hardest, and I think I'm going to work the hardest.” To this end, Manley has recently racked up major progressive endorsements in Florida, including Armando Grundy-Gomes, President of the Democratic Black Caucus of Florida, the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida, through President Matthew Grocholske, and Black Voters Matter lead Florida organizer Jamil Davis. According to the most recent polling, Manley lags behind Wasserman Schultz 21% to 39% in initial ballot testing, but blitzes into the lead 36% to 27% after voters receive candidate biographical information, per Florida Politics.* Another major political story from Florida is the comeback bid of former Congressman Alan Grayson. Grayson, who won a House seat in 2008, lost it in the Tea Party wave of 2010, won another seat, ran unsuccessfully for Senate, and then sought a comeback in 2018 is running in Florida's 7th congressional district, AOL reports. Grayson, known during his time in Congress for his “combative style and frequent clashes with Republicans,” is seeking to unseat scandal-plagued incumbent Republican Congressman Cory Mills. As this piece notes, Mills has “faced allegations ranging from sextortion claims made by a former girlfriend to accusations that he embellished aspects of his military record,” as well as what appears to be clear instances of corruption, such as driving government contracts to entities he owned. However, before these two have any chance of facing off against one another, both will have to get through his own party's primary.* Looking to Latin America, the outgoing President of Colombia Gustavo Petro, has published a fascinating op-ed in the Washington Post. In this piece, President Petro emphasizes how his government – considered one of the most opposed to American intervention in the region – has cooperated with the United States on shared objectives including stopping the “deadly flow of drug trafficking and transnational criminal violence.” Throughout the op-ed, Petro goes to great lengths to talk up Trump and how they have collaborated on mutual goals, even ending the piece by writing that “with continued U.S.-Colombia partnership, we can truly make the Americas great again.” This apparent about face from Petro, culminating in an obsequious appeal to Trump's favor, has led many to speculate about Petro's motivations here, including fear for his own safety, possible persecution within the American legal system or intervention in Colombia if his designated successor Ivan Cepeda ultimately wins the Colombian runoff presidential election this month. Whether or not this stratagem will work remains to be seen, but with Trump, flattery can get you everywhere.* In neighboring Peru, votes continue to be counted in the razor's edge race between Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez. The votes for the election, held on June 7th, are almost completely counted now – the tally stands at 99.38% – and at the moment Fujimori leads by around 39,000 votes. However, around 140,000 votes have been formally challenged, with 60% of those coming from Fujimori strongholds like Lima as well as Peruvians abroad. This from Reuters. Peru's political system has been wracked by instability, with the country going through nine presidents in the last ten years. Another painstakingly close election is unlikely to restore stability no matter who comes out on top.* Finally, we turn to the Middle East, where it seems the numerous parties involved in the latest round of peace talks may have finally reached a deal. According to Al Jazeera, in addition to the US-Iran agreement, rooted in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which includes financial concessions to the Islamic Republic, Israel and Hezbollah are pursuing a ceasefire in Lebanon. However, Israel's notoriously loose interpretation of ceasefire agreements jeopardizes both this deal and MOU. Journalist and expert Rania Khalek states simply that “From Iran's perspective, continued Israeli strikes would be a violation of that understanding.” Vice President JD Vance, who has been intimately involved in these negotiations, expressed a sharp warning to Israel not to jeopardize the deal and risk alienating Trump, their “only ally” left. Trump for his part is already hedging, saying “If it works out, I'm going to take the credit…If it doesn't work out, I'm blaming JD,” per CNN. A report in the Hill indicates that Republican Senators would largely oppose the deal if it were submitted for their approval, but given the increasing concentration of foreign policy powers in the executive branch, it is unlikely the Senate will even be consulted.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

VOV1 - Truyền thông Ai Cập đêm 19/6 cho biết Ngoại trưởng nước này và những người đồng cấp đến từ Saudi Arabia, Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ và Pakistan, sẽ nhóm họp tại Cairo vào ngày mai (21/6), để hỗ trợ triển khai thỏa thuận Mỹ và Iran. Đây là cuộc họp thứ 4 của Ngoại trưởng 4 nước về hỗ trợ tiến trình hòa đàm Mỹ - Iran, và là cuộc họp đầu tiên được tổ chức kể từ khi Washington và Tehran đạt được thỏa thuận sơ bộ cuối tuần trước. Trong số 4 nước tham gia cuộc họp tại Cairo ngày mai, Pakistan là bên đóng vai trò trung gian chủ chốt trong cả tiến trình đạt được lệnh ngừng bắn Mỹ - Iran ngày 8/4, cũng như việc thúc đẩy và ký kết thỏa thuận sơ bộ hồi trong tuần.Cũng liên quan tiến trình hòa bình Mỹ - Iran, truyền thông Israel tối qua dẫn một số nguồn tin cho biết Ngoại trưởng Mỹ Marco Rubio dự kiến có chuyến đi đến vùng Vịnh trong tuần tới. Điểm dừng chân dự kiến của ông Rubio là Kuwait, UAE và Bahrain, 3 nước vùng Vịnh bị ảnh hưởng nặng nề nhất bởi cuộc chiến do Mỹ và Israel phát động chống Iran hồi cuối tháng 2/2026. Nội dung nghị sự trọng tâm trong chuyến thăm được cho là tập trung vào việc triển khai thỏa thuận Mỹ - Iran, cũng như quan hệ giữa Washington với các nước vùng Vịnh. Nếu thành hiện thực, đây sẽ là chuyến thăm khu vực đầu tiên của một quan chức cấp cao Mỹ, kể từ khi xung đột bùng phát.Bá Thi/VOV-CairoẢnh minh họa. Nguồn: Reuters

VOV1 - Australia chính thức khẳng định sự xuất hiện của virus cúm gia cầm H5. Sự xuất hiện của virus nguy hiểm này khiến cho Australilo ngại chủng cúm này có thể sẽ lây lan nhanh chóng trong đất liền gây ảnh hưởng nghiêm trọng đến nông nghiệp và động vật hoang dã của nước này. Australia chính thức không còn là lục địa duy nhất trên thế giới không có cúm gia cầm H5 khi hôm nay, Bộ trưởng Nông nghiệp của nước này bà Julie Collins khẳng định lần dầu tìm thấy virus này trong 1 con chim cướp biển nâu bị chết ở khu vực các thành phố Perth của bang Tây Australia khoảng 700km.Virus cúm gia cầm H5 không chỉ xuất hiện ở 1 con chim duy nhất, cơ quan chức năng Australia cũng phát hiện virus này ở một con chim thứ hai là loài hải âu khổng lồ. Hai loài chim phát hiện mang virus cúm H5 đều là chim biển nhập cư đến Australia và được tìm thấy ở vùng xa xôi của nước này.Tiến sỹ Fiona Fraser, Ủy viên phụ trách các loài bị đe dọa của Australia cho biết: “Các loài động vật có vú sống ở biển đặc biệt dễ mắc bệnh cúm này, và tại Australia có loài hải cẩu lông. Loài này cũng như sử tử biên của Australia đều dễ bị tổn thương. Hiện tại Australia đã có những kế hoạch cụ thể cho từng loài để giúp phòng ngừa dịch bệnh, nhưng cũng để quản lý tác động của dịch bệnh đối với các loài động vật có vú sống ở biển nếu dịch bệnh xuất hiện. Có rất nhiều loài chim biển và chim nước sẽ bị ảnh hưởng”Vì virus cúm gia cầm H5 được phát hiện đầu tiên ở chim hoang dã nên Australia đang hy vọng virus này chưa kịp lây lan rộng ra các loài động vật ở nước này. Hiện tại Australia cũng chưa phát hiện gia cầm hay động vật nuôi, động vật hoang dã nào ngoài 2 con chim này mang virus H5.Trong bối cảnh này, cơ quan chức năng của Australia đang đẩy mạnh công tác giám sát mức độ lây nhiễm của động vật hoang dã, bảo vệ các sản phẩm gia cầm, giảm thiểu tác động của virus tới cộng đồng và động vật hoang dã.Trước khi virus cúm gia cầm H5 xuất hiện, chính phủ Australia đã chi hơn 113 triệu AUD để tăng cường khả năng chuẩn bị ứng phó với dịch bệnh. Từ năm 2024 nước này đã thành lập lực lượng đặc nhiệm đa ngành để chuẩn bị cho khả năng virus xâm nhập. Nước này cũng đã tiến hành nhiều cuộc diễn tập quốc gia mô phỏng tình huống virus xâm nhập. Hiện tại khi virus cúm H5 chính thức xuất hiện trên đất liền, chính phủ và các ngành nghề liên quan đang phối phợp để quản lý ứng phó với dịch bệnh nhằm hạn chế tác động tới gia cầm, động vật nuôi, động vật hoang dã và cộng đồng.Việt Nga/VOV - AustraliaVirus cúm gia cầm H5 chính thức xuất hiện tại lục địa Australia.

VOV1 - Ngày 19/06, một vụ va chạm đường sắt nghiêm trọng đã xảy ra giữa hai đoàn tàu ở khu vực phía bắc thủ đô London, Vương quốc Anh.  Cảnh sát Giao thông Anh xác nhận vụ va chạm đường sắt nghiêm trọng đã xảy ra vào khoảng 17 giờ 15 phút (theo giờ địa phương), tại thị trấn Bedford, cách thủ đô London khoảng 90 km về phía bắc. Vụ tai nạn xảy ra khi cả hai đoàn tàu thuộc hãng East Midlands Railway đang cùng di chuyển trên một đường ray theo hướng nam để về ga St. Pancras ở London.Cơ quan Y tế vùng Đông nước Anh xác nhận vụ va chạm đã khiến ít nhất 1 người thiệt mạng và 89 người khác bị thương. Nạn nhân tử vong được xác định là tài xế điều hành của một trong hai đoàn tàu. Trong số những người bị thương, có 11 người ở tình trạng rất nguy kịch, 22 người bị thương nặng và 56 người còn lại bị thương nhẹ.Nhiều hành khách sống sót mô tả vụ nổ và va chạm mạnh xảy ra hoàn toàn bất ngờ không có cảnh báo trước, khiến hành khách bị hất văng khỏi ghế ngồi, dẫn đến nhiều ca gãy xương và chấn thương vùng mặt. Các toa tàu tràn ngập khói và nhiều cửa kính bị vỡ nát, dù vậy cả 2 đoàn tàu vẫn giữ được trạng thái đứng thẳng trên đường ray mà không bị lật hoàn toàn.Lực lượng cứu hộ khẩn cấp đã lập tức phong tỏa hiện trường và tuyên bố đây là một "sự cố nghiêm trọng". Hơn 20 xe cứu thương mặt đất cùng 6 trực thăng cứu thương và các đội phản ứng nhanh với sự cố nguy hiểm đã được điều động để phân loại, sơ cứu và chuyển các nạn nhân đến bệnh viện gần nhất.Vụ việc đang gây ảnh hưởng nghiêm trọng đến mạng lưới giao thông đường sắt vào và ra khỏi thủ đô Luân Đôn.

Today's Headlines: The Obama Presidential Center officially opened on the South Side of Chicago yesterday — a 19-acre campus with a museum, library, gardens, and a sledding hill — on Juneteenth, the same day Trump signed a worse version of Obama's Iran deal at Versailles, which is the kind of historic irony that writes itself. The Knicks held their ticker tape parade in downtown Manhattan to celebrate their first NBA championship in 53 years, Zohran Mamdani gave them the keys to the city, and Knicks owner James Dolan used his remarks to shade the mayor without naming him. JD Vance spent yesterday claiming Trump would rank at the top of an IQ test against all 45 previous presidents and telling Israel to "wake up and smell the reality" that Trump is their only ally left in the world, which is both a threat and an accurate description of what Trump's Iran deal accomplished. Ukraine hit a major Moscow oil refinery for the second time this week in one of its largest drone attacks of the war, with Zelensky saying the goal is to bring Putin back to the negotiating table and announcing G7 leaders — including the US — reached "unprecedented agreement" on additional air defense support for Ukraine. On the immigration beat, a Reuters analysis found that the death rate in ICE detention centers has more than doubled under Trump, from one death per 3,848 detainees historically to one per 1,630 since January, with 50 people dying from suicides, cardiovascular events, and untreated chronic conditions. The Trump administration quietly redirected $350 million from Secret Service training and recruitment funds to the White House ballroom-bunker, bringing its total projected cost to $600 million with taxpayers footing more than half — despite Trump's promise that he and donors would cover it entirely. And the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, less than a week after its $14 million renovation, now has the worst algae levels in five years, and the hydrogen peroxide treatment meant to fix it caused the new paint to start peeling off in sheets.

A ransomware crew can run through your whole company between dinner and dessert. Sean Martin sat down with Cynthia Kaiser — twenty years at the FBI, now leading the Halcyon Ransomware Research Center — on the speed of the threat, the human cost the industry keeps abstracting away, and why a slice of ransomware deserves a harder name than “crime.”

Iran hawks in Congress say President Trump’s agreement with Iran gives away too much too soon. The Wall Street Journal’s Philip Wegmann joins to discuss where Trump is losing support on the deal. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady for a fourth consecutive meeting. Despite a unanimous vote, Reuters reports, nearly half of the central bank’s governors said they’d be open to a rate hike before the end of the year. A former mining town in England could upend British politics. Politico’s Jack Blanchard explains how roughly 75,000 people could select the next prime minister. Plus, Trump is withholding his nominee for DNI until Congress passes new voter restrictions, how Barack Obama is changing the concept of presidential libraries, and Scottish soccer fans show Boston how to throw a party. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.

Day 1,574.Today, as President Zelensky declares that “if Ukraine burns, so will Moscow”, we report on a wave of strikes inside Russia that have produced some of the most dramatic images of the war so far, with more than 1,000 drones sowing destruction across multiple regions. Then, after a prominent MAGA influencer admits she fell for Russian propaganda, we ask whether Putin's continued attacks on religious and cultural sites in Ukraine may finally be seen for what they are by the Christian Right in the United States. And after the Russian president appears to answer criticism that he is isolated and afraid of meeting ordinary people, we take a closer look at footage of an apparently spontaneous walkabout that raised eyebrows when a security guard was overheard referring to “background actors”. Throughout the episode, we'll be joined by our friendly RAND analyst to help make sense of the latest military and technological developments shaping Russia's war against Ukraine.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.With thanks to RAND engineer Michael Bohnert.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

While the world's attention has been fixed on the war in Iran, the battlefield in Ukraine has largely shifted in Kyiv's favor. ISW's George Barros joins us to explain how Ukrainian innovations in drone warfare, logistics, and battlefield technology have slowed Russia's advance, increased Russian casualties, and created new opportunities for Ukrainian counterattacks. These developments are especially meaningful for future peace negotiations, as Russia's strategy is showing signs of severe strain. Putin's wartime claims and demands have become even more ridiculous as Ukraine strikes deeper into Russian territory. Ukraine's wartime innovations are already helping protect American forces around the world as they reshape the future of warfare in real time. Free democracies like Ukraine tend to outpace their adversaries in innovation, and the United States should do more to friend-shore critical industries and pursue military industrial cooperation to our mutual benefit.George Barros is the Director of Innovation and Open Source Tradecraft at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), previously led ISW's Russia Team and founded ISW GEOINT Team and has served as a policy advisor on Ukraine and Russia for a U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee member. His analyses and interviews have appeared in outlets including The Hill, Washington Post, BBC, Reuters, Voice of America, and more.Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.

More Retirement Alerts - Social Security running out again.... - Less that 10 year until the reserves are exhausted - The Social Security Administration's newly released 2026 Trustees Report confirms that the federal retirement safety net is less than seven years away from fiscal depletion, as the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) trust fund will completely exhaust its accumulated reserves in the fourth quarter of 2032. - Once the reserve dries up, ongoing tax revenues will cover only 78% of scheduled retirement benefits, according to the report. - Some of the blame is being laid on the OBBBA with higher standard deductions and lower taxes on SS Benefits - "The OBBBA also adds a temporary additional standard deduction for taxpayers over age 65," it says. "As a result, less income tax will be paid on Social Security benefits, and the OASI and DI Trust Funds will receive lower levels of revenue in the future from income taxation of Social Security benefits."

The U.S. plans to reduce the number of aircraft for NATO operations, another A-10 lifeline appears, and discussions about restarting C-17 production. Also, owner-produced airplane parts, airport weirdos, a new album from Speed Brake Armed, how the NTSB uses audio spectrograms, lying flat on a broken Polaris seat, and Roman Numerals. Aviation News US Plans Major Cut to Fighter Jets, Warships for NATO Operations in Europe, NYT Reports Citing European officials, the New ​York Times reported that the U.S. plans to reduce the number of ⁠F-16 and ⁠F-15E fighter jets from roughly 150 to 100. Maritime reconnaissance ​aircraft would be cut from 26 to 15, and all eight aerial refueling tankers would be pulled. The ⁠New York ​Times said the U.S. aims to redeploy a missile-launching ​submarine and an aircraft carrier, along with several warships and jets ⁠that join ⁠the carrier's missions. One of two groups of bombers previously assigned for ​Europe's defense may also ⁠be reallocated. NATO spokesperson Allison Hart told Reuters, “Historically, there has been an over-reliance on U.S. forces and capabilities.” The U.S. European Command said in a statement that it would “rightsize” its contributions to the NATO Force Model. Congress Throws A-10 Warthog Another Lifeline The A-10 end of life is scheduled for 2030. Depot-level maintenance has stopped, and the 571st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, has ended. The A-10 Weapons School is scheduled to end this year. However, an amendment to the House Armed Services Committee's version of the National Defense Authorization bill seeks to keep the Warthog alive. The amendment calls for the Air Force to keep supporting A-10 training, testing, experimentation, maintenance, and sustainment efforts. Other requirements include preserving lessons learned and operational expertise and maintaining a formal pilot training unit. A-10 Warthog's New Aerial Refueling Probe Is Now Operational In The Middle East The A-10C is now operating in the Middle East with the new probe-and-drogue refueling capability. First demonstrated in early April, it took only six weeks to become operational. Previously, the A-10 could only refuel from a KC-135. The KC-46 was not yet certified to refuel the Warthog due to the “stiff boom” problem, which could damage the receiving aircraft. Now A-10s can refuel KC-46s with the probe or from HC-130s, MC-130s, Marine Corps KC-130s, and KC-130Js from other operators. A-10 with refueling probe. USAF photo. Boeing “Encouraged” By C-17 Production Restart Discussions Restarting C-17 Globemaster III production would be extremely difficult, extremely expensive, but not impossible. There is interest from various operators and from the U.S. Congress, which has asked the Air Force to prepare a formal briefing on the feasibility of acquiring new C-17s. Driving USAF interest is a succession of crises in recent years that have put serious strain on the aircraft, and questions have been raised about the viability of the current plan to keep them flying through 2075. The C-17 is powered by the F117-PW-100, which is the military variant of the PW2000 family (the same engine that powers the Boeing 757). New engine production for the PW2000 stopped in 2016, and the USAF is currently depending on overhauls of existing engines to keep the fleet flying. So the MRO infrastructure, engineering expertise, and supply chain for supporting this engine remain very much alive. In March 2025, RTX announced agreements with JetZero to integrate the PW2040 engine and APU into its blended-wing-body demonstrator. So P&W is actively working on the PW2040 for a new application, which suggests the engine isn’t entirely dormant in their engineering ecosystem. The decision to restart the engine isn't just a P&W decision. The risk-sharing partners, like MTU Aero Engines, have to be on board. There are 222 C-17s in service with the U.S. Air Force today. The last plane was delivered in 2013, and Boeing shut down the line in 2015. Australia, Canada, India, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom operate the C-17. C-17. USAF photo. Listener Mail Eclipse spare parts Mark writes regarding the discussion about Eclipse parts from Episode 896 and notes that FAR 21.9(a)(5) creates a framework for owner-produced parts. Where a certified part is unavailable, owners of certified aircraft can “produce” their own. And they can do that either by making it themselves or by contracting out its production to a suitably qualified supplier. There are rules about quality and the requirement that owner-produced parts be of equivalent specification to OEM parts, but as long as an aircraft owner can put their hand on their heart and assert that those conditions are met, they can supply parts to their maintainer and tell them to install them. See this AOPA guidance. Airport Weirdo Koeby has developed a crowdsourced gallery of airport weirdos, where travelers submit funny photos of strange things they spot in airports. No account is needed; you can just submit your photo, and it will be added to the gallery. It's called Airport Weirdo. New Album release by Speed Brake Armed Pete Buffington tells us about Speed Brake Armed’s new New Age album “Echoes Above the Infinite Sky.” This album takes the listener on a journey of flight from South America, to Spain, to the Cosmos, and back to ancient Greece. Inspired by over 35 years of real pilot experience. Video: 737 Echoes Above The Infinite Sky | Speed Brake Armed | Full Album | New Age Aviation Music https://youtu.be/slO-4xnVqHg Spectrograms Andy adds his perspective about the conversation on spectrograms in NTSB investigations. While he has absolutely no actual knowledge about NTSB processes or how they actually use spectrograms, he speculates based on his experience as an audio engineer for over 30 years: “Spectrograms have been a tool I use fairly regularly in production. To me, it mostly comes down to being able to recognize things that are hard to pick out. For instance, if there is some kind of unpleasant noise in the background of a recording, sometimes I can identify it and potentially filter it out, purely by ear.  Other times, particularly if it's not very far above the noise floor, it can be very difficult to pick out by ear.  In that case, I'll often look at a spectrogram. It's certainly not always helpful, but sometimes there are things that I can pick out visually that I can't pick out audibly… “So I can imagine that in a cockpit recording with a lot of background noise, examining the spectrogram might allow patterns to be detected that would not be obvious audibly. My guess is that they wouldn't be looking at the speech, but rather for indications in sound of what was happening mechanically. “For instance, if there was sound at a particular frequency, happening at a particular interval regularly, that might be an indication of something. That's the sort of thing that you can often see on a spectrogram even if it is audibly buried in the noise floor.” 14 Hours Lying Flat Patrick thinks maybe United could have done better: 14 Hours Lying Flat: United Polaris Passenger Pays $7,400, Gets Just $350 For Broken Seat. A United Airlines passenger has recounted her experience of flying in a faulty Polaris seat. She was forced to sit in a lie-flat position for the entire journey. After complaining, United offered her only $350. The ticket cost $7,388. DCCCXCIV Rob wrote in to say he enjoyed the value that Erin Applebaum brought to Episode 894. Also, that “with the very welcome return of David, this episode may well be the first podcast ever where the hosts have an odd number of kidneys!!” We also got a refresher on Roman Numerals.

The FBI says it disrupted an alleged plot targeting the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House, where President Trump and other high-profile figures were in attendance. According to court filings reported by Reuters and CBS News, the alleged plan involved explosive drones, sniper positions, firearms, ammunition, and discussions about targeting political figures and wealthy attendees.Five people have reportedly been charged in connection with the alleged plot, including Tycen Proper, Bryan Omar Roa, Michael Alan Thomas, Daniel Eskridge, and Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez. CBS reports that potential targets listed in court filings included President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Elon Musk, and several Republican lawmakers.In this episode, Professor Nez breaks down what federal authorities are alleging, why this matters, how dangerous political radicalization has become, and why this may not be the last attempt unless America wakes up to the rhetoric, conspiracy spirals, and violent extremism fueling these threats.

This week, Thomas sits down with journalist Matthew Green to explore the hidden effects of “shadow trauma” and what it takes to heal and repair after acting against your own ethics.From personal missteps to moral injury to ancestral and historical trauma, we all carry the weight of transgression. But often, the shame that accompanies this holds us back from integration and healing.Thomas and Matthew discuss how to move beyond isolation and repression to bring our vulnerabilities into safe, healing environments where we can reintegrate these fragmented shadow parts, repair relationships, and restore our connection to our true selves.✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:

In this episode of Fraudology, Karisse Hendrick provides a comprehensive debrief following the Merchant Risk Council (MRC) Vegas conference. Karisse shares her highlights and lowlights from one of the industry's biggest events, cutting through the conference hype to provide practical insights for fraud and payments professionals.The conversation explores the evolving mechanics of Agentic AI in commerce, detailing how tools like Sardine are now identifying AI agents by monitoring "invisible" behaviors, such as fields being filled without mouse movement. Karisse provides an inside look at why OpenAI recently shelved its "instant checkout" feature, moving away from being a merchant of record to avoid the liability of chargebacks and complex transaction enablement.We also explore the "hot topics" dominating the fraud landscape today:The VAMP Threshold "Cliff": How Visa is drastically reducing high-risk merchant ratios from 220 basis points to 150 basis points this April, potentially catching many enterprise merchants off guard.The Complexity of Agentic Chargebacks: Real-world examples of "authorized" AI purchases where merchants are losing disputes because card brands like Visa do not yet have established "compelling evidence" protocols for AI agents.The Human Element vs. AI: Why senior fraud leadership cannot be replaced by LLMs, as the critical "domain expertise" required to manage sophisticated fraud is not found in open-source data.Additionally, Karisse dives into the latest FTC fraud statistics, revealing a staggering 430% increase in fraud since 2020. We break down the $375 million jury verdict against Meta in New Mexico, a historic win for child safety that challenges the long-standing "Section 230" liability shield. Finally, we examine a Reuters study uncovering how Meta's ability to block scam ads depends almost entirely on the financial liability they face in specific countries.
