US Greenlights ROK Enrichment, Raising Proliferation Fears Guest: Henry Sokolski, Executive Director of the Non-Proliferation Policy Education Center The US agreement to support the Republic of South Korea's civil uranium enrichment and spent fuel reprocessing for peaceful uses is viewed by Sokolski as a movement toward proliferation. Sokolski notes that this decision greenlights the ROK—a treaty ally with a history of attempting to use its civil programs to make nuclear weapons—to a position similar to Iran's. The ROK successfully leveraged the inconsistency of US policy, pointing out that Japan has permission to enrich and reprocess fuel and possesses a massive plutonium stockpile. Granting the ROK these capabilities sets a concerning precedent, potentially compelling the US to allow other countries like Saudi Arabia to seek similar nuclear options. The proliferation concern is heightened further by the ROK's desire for a nuclear-powered submarine, which could lead to pursuit of a full nuclear weapons triad. 1958

SHOW 11-14-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE ECONOMY. FIRST HOUR 9-915 BLISS: WEST COAST URBAN ISSUES AND THE PACK FIRE Guest: Jeff Bliss Seattle elected socialist Kate Wilson, who wants public grocery stores. The Luxor Pyramid in Las Vegas has installed a massive slide for visitors. Both San Francisco and Santa Monica are seeing major business failures and mall auctions due to unchecked crime and vagrancy. Los Angeles Mayor Bass requested citizen help for cleanup before the Olympics. Meanwhile, the 3,000-acre Pack Fire in Mono County is being aided by heavy rain. 915-930 MCTAGUE: LANCASTER COUNTY ECONOMY AND AI FEAR Guest: Jim McTague Reports from Lancaster County show a strong local economy: a metal forming company is "busy as they've ever been" and actively hiring, and the mall is packed with shoppers. Tourism is thriving, exemplified by sold-out shows at the Sight and Sound Theater. However, a persistent fear of AI-driven layoffs exists among retirees, despite no personal connection to the issue. Data centers supporting AI are rapidly being built in the area. 930-945 A. THE FILIBUSTER AND CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Epstein discusses the filibuster's purpose: slowing down legislation to improve deliberation and mitigate hyper-partisanship. However, he argues its use against continuing resolutions is illegitimate, leading to "horrendous dislocation." He proposes changing the Senate rule to forbid filibusters on continuing resolutions, ensuring essential government functions are not held hostage for collateral political gain and maintaining fiscal continuity. 945-1000 B. BBC DEFAMATION AND THE NEED FOR REFORM Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Epstein discusses the BBC's alleged defamation of President Trump through edited footage. Unlike US law, British defamation has a low bar, though damages may be smaller. Epstein contends that the BBC's reputational damage is enormous and suggests the institution is "thoroughly rotten" due to corruption and political capture. He advocates for cleansing the operation and breaking up the public monopoly. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 BRANDON-WEICHERT: AI'S IMPACT ON JOBS AND GEOPOLITICS Guest: Brandon Weichert High-profile layoffs at Amazon and Walmart are tied to AI replacing roles, fitting the anticipated economic transformation, though it may initially look like a bubble. The US leads in AI software, while China excels in robotics. Concerns exist regarding massive AI bets by industry leaders like Ellison and Altman, specifically whether their political ties could result in taxpayer bailouts if these huge projects fail. 1015-1030 FIORI: ITALIAN HERITAGE TRAINS AND POLITICAL DISPUTES Guest: Lorenzo Fiori Italy is launching heritage Christmas trains like the Espresso Monaco and Espresso Assisi, restoring old coaches and locomotives for tourists. Deputy PM Salvini is publicly criticizing aid to Ukraine, linking it to corruption, potentially as a strategy to regain consensus and boost his party's falling popularity. Nationwide student protests are occurring over school reform and the Palestine issue. Milan is preparing for Christmas celebrations. 1030-1045 A. COMMERCIAL SPACE ACHIEVEMENTS AND POLICY SHIFTS Guest: Bob Zimmerman Blue Origin's New Glenn successfully launched and landed its first stage vertically, becoming only the second company to achieve orbital stage reuse, despite its slow operational pace. VAST, a US commercial space station startup, signed a cooperation deal with Uzbekistan, possibly including flying an astronaut to its Haven One module. France announced a new, market-oriented national space policy, significantly increasing budgets and embracing capitalism via public-private partnerships. 1045-1100 B. GOLDSTONE FAILURE AND SUPERNOVA DISCOVERY Guest: Bob Zimmerman NASA's Goldstone antenna, a critical link in the Deep Space Network, is out of service due to an embarrassing error where it was over-rotated, twisting the cables. This impacts communications with interplanetary and Artemis missions. Separately, new astronomical data from a supernova explosion shows the initial eruption was not symmetrical but bipolar, pushing material and light along the star's poles, refining explosion models. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 1. JOSEPHUS AND THE SIEGE OF JODAPATA Guest: Professor Barry Strauss The Jewish revolt against Rome, starting in 66 AD, is primarily chronicled by Josephus, a leader of the revolt and later historian. Josephus commanded the defense of Jodapata against General Vespasian. After defeat, Josephus survived a mass suicide pact, surrendered, and convinced Vespasian not to kill him by predicting he would become Roman emperor. The rebels were inspired by previous victories like the Maccabees. 1115-1130 2. TITUS'S SIEGE OF JERUSALEM Guest: Professor Barry Strauss Nero's forced suicide in 68 AD and the subsequent chaos confirmed Josephus's prophecy, leading to Vespasian being proclaimed emperor in 69 AD. Vespasian left his son Titus to lay siege to Jerusalem in 70 AD. Though Jerusalem was a strong fortress, the defenders were critically weakened by infighting among three rebel factions and their own destruction of the city's necessary grain supply. 1130-1145 3. SURVIVAL DURING THE SIEGE OF JERUSALEM Guest: Professor Barry Strauss Before the siege of Jerusalem was sealed, two foundational groups fled: Rabbi Yohanan Ben Zakai, smuggled out to Yavneh to establish Rabbinic Judaism, and the followers of Jesus, who went to Pella. Titus focused the Roman assault on the city's weakest point, the northern wall. The overconfident Romans were repeatedly frustrated by Jewish defenders using effective irregular tactics, including raids and undermining siege equipment. 1145-1200 4. THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE AND MASADA Guest: Professor Barry Strauss The Flavians decided to completely destroy Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD, an act of extreme Roman imperialism that left the city in ruins. Afterwards, Judea was upgraded to a formal Roman province with a governor and the 10th Legion quartered in Jerusalem. Four years later, the siege of Masada ended with the alleged suicide of defenders, though archaeological evidence remains controversial among scholars. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 US Greenlights ROK Enrichment, Raising Proliferation Fears Guest: Henry Sokolski, Executive Director of the Non-Proliferation Policy Education Center The US agreement to support the Republic of South Korea's civil uranium enrichment and spent fuel reprocessing for peaceful uses is viewed by Sokolski as a movement toward proliferation. Sokolski notes that this decision greenlights the ROK—a treaty ally with a history of attempting to use its civil programs to make nuclear weapons—to a position similar to Iran's. The ROK successfully leveraged the inconsistency of US policy, pointing out that Japan has permission to enrich and reprocess fuel and possesses a massive plutonium stockpile. Granting the ROK these capabilities sets a concerning precedent, potentially compelling the US to allow other countries like Saudi Arabia to seek similar nuclear options. The proliferation concern is heightened further by the ROK's desire for a nuclear-powered submarine, which could lead to pursuit of a full nuclear weapons triad. 1215-1230 SOKOLSKI: CHINA'S CONVENTIONAL ICBM THREAT Guest: Henry Sokolski The US military is concerned China's PLA may field a conventionally armed ICBM able to strike the continental US. Such missiles could use maneuverable front ends to evade defenses and deliver autonomous drones. This weapon might target civil infrastructure to intimidate the US and deter intervention during a Taiwan conflict. This prospect is opening up a new and puzzling area of strategic warfare requiring urgent strategic assessment. 1230-1245 A. RARE EARTHS: CHINA'S MONOPOLY AND AUSTRALIAN SUPPLY Guest: David Archibald China's predatory pricing previously achieved a rare earth monopoly, damaging competitors like Lynas, which almost went bankrupt. Australia, via companies like Lynas and Iluka, is being eyed by the US as a non-Chinese source for rare earths critical for high-end electronics and defense. Processing is complex, requiring many steps, and often occurs in places like Malaysia. 1245-100 AM B. HIGH-TEMPERATURE RARE EARTHS AND PREDATORY PRICING Guest: David Archibald The most desirable rare earths, Dysprosium and Terbium, allow magnets to function at high temperatures. China is now sourcing 40% of its supply of these from Myanmar. Though Australia produces these, structural oversupply is a risk. Subsidies, like the floor price given to MP Materials, may be necessary to prevent Chinese predatory pricing from killing off non-commercial producers seeking market dominance.

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin and Joon Ha unpack the political and market fallout from Donald Trump's remarks on restricting Nvidia's most-advanced chips for U.S. use, and what it means for Seoul's 260,000-GPU Blackwell deal with Hyundai, Samsung, SK and Naver — including implications for autonomous driving and the KOSPI's sharp response. The hosts then turn to South Korea's nuclear-powered submarine ambitions, after Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back publicly pushed for domestic construction over a U.S. shipyard, highlighting technical, industrial and political friction points.  Later, the team breaks down Seoul's successful launch of its fourth and fifth military reconnaissance satellite, completing Project 425 and advancing independent reconnaissance for kill-chain readiness, while unpacking remaining gaps for the goal of transferring wartime operational control discussed from this week's top U.S.-ROK military meetings.  Looking ahead, Jeongmin and Joon Ha preview budget season turbulence, presidential office audits, ongoing trials against the previous administration stakeholders regarding the Dec. 2024 martial law and the Bank of Korea's expected rate-cut decision. About the podcast: The Korea Pro Podcast is a weekly conversation hosted by Korea Risk Group Executive Director Jeongmin Kim, Editor John Lee and correspondent Joon Ha Park, delivering deep, clear analysis of South Korean politics, diplomacy, security, society and technology for professionals who need more than headlines.

Rok protestů v Srbsku: vláda pochopila, že i obrovské demonstrace stačí přehlížetPrvního listopadu uplynul rok od neštěstí v Novém Sadu, kdy po zpackané rekonstrukci hlavního nádraží v Novém Sadu spadla betonová střecha a zabila šestnáct lidí. To mobilizovalo dlouho dřímající občanskou společnost v Srbsku, která začala mohutně protestovat a požadovat vyšetření kauzy, potrestání viníků a to, aby v zemi začaly fungovat justiční instituce. Požadavky vyústily v největší demonstrace v Evropě za desítky let, které už vzhledem k délce nesnesou srovnání s ničím, co si pamatujeme: ani s demonstracemi v roce 1989, ani v roce 1968. Zároveň je třeba říct, že po roce se nestalo nic. Vláda totiž, zdá se, našla funkční recept na nespokojenost ulice: lhostejný cynismus. I tak ale bylo zřejmé, že výročí opět zmobilizuje chuť občanů protestovat. Na první listopad se ostatně chystali všichni: studenti, opozice i vláda. O tom, jak to dopadlo, hovoří v nové epizodě sourozeneckého podcastu Hej, Slované! bratři Jakub & Lukáš Novosadovi s balkanistou Františkem Šístkem z Historického ústavu AV ČR.Epizoda samozřejmě pouze neshrnuje minulé dění. Toto téma tvoří v našem podcastu seriál, postupně k němu přidáváme nové poznatky. Tentokrát se dozvíte například to, jak se na výroční protesty chystal režim: například vypnul vodu a elektřinu v Novém Sadu. Nebo jak na protesty reagují noví univerzitní studenti, tedy prváci – chtějí se učit a s protesty nesouhlasí? Anebo se k nim připojili? Zjistíte také, jak se situace v Srbsku dotýká Kosova a na jakou stranu se přiklánějí kosovští Srbové a proč (v tomto punktu je potřeba dodat, že Kosovo je patrně jedním z důvodů, proč svět toleruje u moci Aleksandara Vučiće, který pomalu, ale jistě v Kosovu dělá to, co se očekává: stahuje z něj Srbsko pryč). Povíme vám, zda hrají v srbské společnosti nějakou roli bývalí lídři země jako třeba Boris Tadić. Nebo zjistíte, jak to může dopadnout, když se jedna z maminek obětí loňského neštěstí rozhodne držet protestní hladovku před srbským parlamentem. Úplnou novinkou je úsilí studentů a opozice najít lídra, který by mohl vyhrát volby (pokud se budou konat). Seznamy opozičních politických kandidátů jsou ovšem tajné a nikdo je nechce zveřejnit, aby vláda nominanty nemohla ohrozit.Aneb konečně podcast, který skutečně jde do hloubi slovanské politiky.

W Poranku Radiu Wnet była minister klimatu i środowiska Anna Trzeciakowska ostro skrytykowała decyzje rządu Donalda Tuska dotyczące polityki klimatycznej. Jej zdaniem Polska nie odniosła sukcesu w negocjacjach w Brukseli, mimo że premier i jego współpracownicy próbują przedstawić to inaczej.Chciałabym, żeby się udało, ale nic takiego miejsca nie miało. Pan wiceminister Bolesta zbyt dużym entuzjazmem, na wyrost, chciał przykryć porażkę, którą osiągnął tam niestety rząd koalicyjny. Te opowieści, że ich nikt nigdy w Unii nie ogra, okazały się opowieściami. Przesunięcie ETS-u i to na razie w ramach propozycji na 2028 rok, to żadna tajemnica– powiedziała Trzeciakowska.Podkreśliła, że przesunięcie systemu ETS-2 nie jest żadnym sukcesem.Rok wyborczy, wybicie w postaci przesunięcia o rok, to nadmierny entuzjazm. Tam się złe rzeczy działy– dodała.ETS-2, jak tłumaczyła, to drugi system handlu emisjami, który obejmie już nie tylko wielkie zakłady przemysłowe, ale wszystkich obywateli.ETS-2 to podatek od nas wszystkich, od całej gospodarki emisyjnej. To jest podatek zielony od ogrzewania domów gazem bądź węglem i od jeżdżenia samochodem na paliwa, które większość z nas posiada. To kilkaset złotych więcej przy tankowaniu albo kilka tysięcy przy ogrzewaniu domu węglem bądź gazem. Zapłacą wszyscy, bo transport warzyw, mebli, czegokolwiek do naszych sklepów również będzie tym objęty. To jest po prostu drożyzna– mówiła.90-procentowa redukcja emisji: „To szaleństwo, którego nie osiągniemy”Wśród ustaleń Rady UE znalazł się również nowy cel klimatyczny: redukcja emisji o 90 procent do roku 2040. Trzeciakowska przypomniała, że Polska głosowała przeciw, razem z Węgrami, Słowacją i Czechami, ale było to za mało, by zablokować decyzję.Jesteśmy na ścieżce tego nieszczęsnego Fit for 55 i nie osiągniemy tego w 2030 roku. To matematyka i ekonomia. Musielibyśmy zlikwidować transport, ogrzewanie naszych domów i rolnictwo. Nie przewiduję, żeby to było możliwe– dodała.Była minister wyjaśniła, że w przyjętych rozwiązaniach pojawił się tzw. bezpiecznik – możliwość zaliczania części redukcji emisji poprzez zakup „kredytów węglowych” poza Unią.To jest kupowanie papierów wartościowych poza Unią. Jak ktoś zredukuje emisję w Afryce Południowej albo zalesi kawałek Ghany, to będzie mógł wydać taki dokument. Na tej podstawie 5 procent emisji będzie można sobie zaliczyć z zewnątrz, jako offset. W praktyce to finansowanie pozaunijnych krajów, w tym Chin, które będą nam te certyfikaty dostarczać. To projekty mniej lub bardziej rzeczywiste – oceniła Trzeciakowska.Była minister oceniła, że pomimo zapowiedzi Donalda Tuska o „mocnej pozycji Polski”, Warszawa nie potrafiła zbudować bloku państw, który mógłby zablokować nowy cel klimatyczny.Gdybyśmy potrafili to robić zgrabnie, tak jak myśmy potrafili wynegocjować kwestie dyrektywy metanowej ratowania polskich kopalni, mimo że nas w Unii nie lubiono i nie obiecywaliśmy, że nas nikt nie ogra – to można by to zablokować. Zabrakło kompetencji, wiedzy, kontaktów, umiejętności negocjacyjnych. A może po prostu woli politycznej– powiedziała.

On this episode of the Trade Guys, we talk through the outcomes from President Trump's trip to Asia, including negotiations with China, the ROK, and ASEAN.

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin and Joon Ha return to Seoul after covering APEC in Gyeongju, where President Lee Jae-myung and Donald Trump finalized a U.S.-ROK tariff deal following months-long negotiations. The team explains new details on the $350 billion investment package, tariff reductions and how the agreement was received at home. They then unpack Lee's request for U.S. approval of nuclear-powered submarines — Seoul's proposal to Trump during the summit. The hosts also examine expert views on related challenges and defense implications, as well as reactions from China's foreign ministry and the South Korean public. Next, they discuss Lee's summits with Xi Jinping and Japan's Sanae Takaichi, and detail Nvidia's pledge to supply over 260,000 of its advanced AI chips to the ROK government and conglomerates after CEO Jensen Huang's meetings with Samsung and Hyundai leaders. The episode closes with an explanation of Pete Hegseth's visit to Seoul and Lee's upcoming budget address at the National Assembly. About the podcast: The Korea Pro Podcast is a weekly conversation hosted by Korea Risk Group Executive Director Jeongmin Kim, Editor John Lee and correspondent Joon Ha Park, diving deep into the most pressing stories shaping South Korea — and dissecting the most complicated ones for professionals monitoring ROK politics, diplomacy, culture, society and technology.

尊敬的李在明总统， Your Excellency President Lee Jae-myung, 各位同事： Colleagues, 很高兴来到韩国历史文化名城庆州，同大家共谋亚太发展大计。感谢李在明总统和韩国政府的周到安排。 It is my great pleasure to be here in Gyeongju, a city of rich history and culture, to join you in discussing the future of the Asia-Pacific. Let me begin by thanking President Lee Jae-myung and the ROK government for the thoughtful arrangement. 亚太经合组织成立30多年来，从勾画亚太自由贸易区蓝图到推动建设亚太共同体，引领亚太地区走在全球开放发展前列，助力亚太成为全球经济最具活力的地区。 Over the past 30-plus years since its founding, from drafting the blueprint of the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) to advancing the vision of an Asia-Pacific community, APEC has been spearheading the region's rise to the forefront of global open development, and has made the Asia-Pacific the most dynamic part of the global economy. 当前，世界百年变局加速演进，国际形势变乱交织，亚太地区发展面临的不稳定不确定因素增多。越是风高浪急，越要同舟共济。我们要坚守亚太经合组织促进经济增长、增进人民福祉的初衷，坚持在开放发展中分享机遇、实现共赢，推进普惠包容的经济全球化，构建亚太共同体。为此，我提5点建议。 Currently, changes unseen in a century are accelerating across the world. The international situation is fluid and turbulent. The Asia-Pacific faces growing uncertainties and destabilizing factors in its development. The rougher the seas, the more we must pull together. We should stay true to APEC's founding mission to promote economic growth and improve people's lives, and champion open development where everyone shares opportunities and emerges a winner. We should promote a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, and build an Asia-Pacific community. To this end, I wish to make five proposals. 一是共同维护多边贸易体制。践行真正的多边主义，提高以世界贸易组织为核心的多边贸易体制的权威性和有效性。坚持世界贸易组织改革的正确方向，维护最惠国待遇、非歧视等基本原则，推动国际经贸规则与时俱进，更好保障发展中国家正当权益。 First, we should work together to safeguard the multilateral trading system. We must practice true multilateralism, and enhance the authority and effectiveness of the multilateral trading system with the WTO at its core. We should stick to the right direction of WTO reform, uphold the most-favored-nation (MFN), nondiscrimination and other fundamental principles, and update international economic and trade rules to reflect the changing times, so as to better protect the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries. 二是共同营造开放型区域经济环境。持续推进贸易和投资自由化便利化，深化财金领域合作，稳步推进区域经济一体化进程。把握《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》高质量实施和《全面与进步跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》扩员契机，推动彼此对接、融合共进，为亚太自由贸易区建设聚势汇能。 Second, we should work together to build an open economic environment in the region. We should keep promoting trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, deepen fiscal and financial cooperation, and steadily push for regional economic integration. With the RCEP being implemented to high standards and the CPTPP membership expanding, we should help the two align with each other and progress together so as to inject impetus into the development of the FTAAP. 三是共同维护产业链供应链稳定畅通。坚持“拉手”而不是“松手”、“延链”而不是“断链”，积极寻找更多利益契合点，支持供应链开放发展。以《亚太经合组织互联互通蓝图》实施10周年为契机，不断做实做细硬联通、软联通、心联通，进一步夯实亚太地区开放发展基础。 Third, we should work together to keep industrial and supply chains stable and smooth. We must join hands rather than part ways, and strengthen our links rather than sever them. We should vigorously expand our common interests, and support the open development of supply chains. The tenth anniversary of the APEC Connectivity Blueprint gives us a good opportunity to strive for concrete and tangible results in physical, institutional and people-to-people connectivity so as to further consolidate the foundations for open development in our region. 四是共同推进贸易数字化绿色化。充分发挥数字技术对跨境贸易的促进作用，推进无纸贸易、智慧海关等务实合作。破除各种绿色壁垒，拓展绿色产业、清洁能源和绿色矿产合作。中方在亚太经合组织首倡设立的亚太示范电子口岸网络、绿色供应链网络，已经成为区域贸易数字化绿色化合作的重要平台。 Fourth, we should work together to advance the digital and green transformation of trade. We should make digital technologies a strong catalyst for cross-border trade, and promote practical cooperation in paperless trade, smart customs and other areas. We must remove various green barriers, and expand cooperation in green industries, clean energy and green minerals. The Asia-Pacific Model E-port Network and the Cooperation Network on Green Supply Chain initiated by China under APEC have become important platforms for regional cooperation on the digital and green upgrades for trade. 五是共同促进普惠包容发展。坚持以人民为中心的发展理念，着力解决发展不平衡问题，推动经济全球化更加包容、更可持续，更好惠及地区全体人民。中方同各方合作推进高质量共建“一带一路”，支持更多发展中国家实现现代化，为全球发展开辟新空间。中国已给予同我国建交的最不发达国家100%税目产品零关税待遇，愿通过商签共同发展经济伙伴关系协定落实对非洲建交国实施100%税目产品零关税措施，致力于同各国共同发展、共享繁荣。 Fifth, we should work together to promote universally beneficial and inclusive development. We should adhere to the people-centered development philosophy, focus on imbalances in development, and foster an economic globalization that is more inclusive, sustainable, and beneficial to all peoples in the region. China is working with various parties to promote the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative, and supports the modernization drive of more developing countries, which will help open up new space for global development. We have given zero-tariff treatment on 100 percent tariff lines from the least developed countries having diplomatic relations with China, and stand ready to extend the same treatment to all African countries having diplomatic relations with China through the signing of agreements on economic partnership for shared development. We will continue to strive for common development and shared prosperity with all nations. 各位同事！ Colleagues, 中国始终坚持对外开放的基本国策，以实际行动推动建设开放型世界经济。过去5年，中国货物和服务贸易规模位居全球第一和第二，累计吸引外资逾7000亿美元，对外投资年均增速超过5%。中国的外资准入负面清单持续缩减，单方面免签持续扩容，自主开放和单边开放有序扩大，22个自贸试验区主动对接国际高标准经贸规则。中国对外开放的大门不会关闭，只会越开越大。 China always pursues the basic state policy of opening up, and has taken real steps to promote an open world economy. Over the past five years, China has ranked as the world's largest trader in goods and the second largest in services. It has attracted more than 700 billion US dollars in foreign investment in total, and its outbound investment has been increasing by over five percent on annual average. We have been shortening the negative list for foreign investment, and applying the unilateral visa-free policy to more countries. We are steadily expanding voluntary and unilateral opening up, and have actively aligned with high-standard international economic and trade rules through our 22 pilot free trade zones. China's door to the world will not close; it will only open wider and wider. 不久前，中共二十届四中全会通过了关于制定“十五五”规划的建议。中方将以此为契机，进一步全面深化改革，坚定不移扩大高水平对外开放，不断以中国式现代化新成就为亚太和世界提供新机遇。 A few days ago, the Recommendations for Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan were adopted at the fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. We will take this opportunity to further deepen reform comprehensively and expand high-standard opening up, and create new opportunities for the Asia-Pacific and the world through the latest achievements of Chinese modernization. 谢谢大家！ Thank you.

Rok po ničivých povodních v několika španělských regionech už jsou špína, bláto, suť i zničená auta dávno odklizené. Stopy jedné z největších přírodních katastrof, které Španělsko kdy zasáhly, jsou přesto stále patrné, píše britský list Guardian. Lidé mají stále pocit, že je úřady nechaly na holičkách, a ve Valencii probíhá soudní vyšetřování.Všechny díly podcastu Svět ve 20 minutách můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Rok 1997 bývá často označován za éru konce polistopadové nevinnosti, za konec nadšení pro změnu a pro budování prosperity, která se logicky nemohla dostavit pro všechny. Už od roku 1996 se v zemi začaly postupně vyhlašovat stávky učitelů, lékařů a zdravotnického personálu a také železničářů. Ti v únoru 1997 vyhlásili stávku, která se řadí k nejdelším v novodobých českých dějinách. Proměnu atmosféry zachytily rozhlasové mikrofony v Archivu Plus.

As President Xi Jinping is set to meet with United States President Donald Trump on Thursday, observers said the top priority is to further faithfully implement all of the points of consensus that have been, and will be, made by the two heads of state.随着习近平主席将于周四会晤美国总统特朗普，观察人士指出，首要任务是继续忠实落实两国元首已达成的共识，同时推进即将敲定的各项共识要点的落地。The scenario is expected to improve the overall stability of China-US ties as well as two-way collaboration, which has been keptafloat in various aspects ranging from trade to law enforcement, they added.观察人士补充道，此次会晤有望进一步提升中美关系的整体稳定性，为双方在贸易、执法等多个领域的持续合作注入动力。As agreed to by China and the US, Xi will meet with Trump in Busan, a coastal city in the Republic of Korea, to "exchange views on bilateral relations and issues of mutual interest", the Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday.中国外交部周三正式宣布，根据中美双方此前商定，习近平主席将在韩国海滨城市釜山与特朗普总统举行会晤，就双边关系发展及共同关心的国际和地区问题交换意见。This will be the first face-to-face meeting between them since Trump assumed office in January for his second term as US president.这将是特朗普今年1月开启第二任期以来，中美两国元首首次面对面会晤。"Head-of-state diplomacy plays an irreplaceable role in providing strategic guidance for China-US relations," Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said.外交部发言人郭佳昆表示：“元首外交对中美关系具有不可替代的战略引领作用。”During their meeting, the two presidents will have "in-depth communication on strategic and long-term issues concerning China-US relations and major issues of common concern", he said.他指出，两国元首会晤期间将就“中美关系战略性、长远性问题及重大关切事项进行深入沟通”。"We are willing to make joint efforts with the US side to drive this meeting toyield positive outcomes, and to provide new guidance and inject newimpetus into the stable development of China-US relations," Guo said at a news briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.郭家驹周三在北京记者会上表示：“中方愿同美方共同努力，推动本次会晤取得积极务实成果，为中美关系稳定发展提供新的指引、注入新的动力。”Last month, the two leaders held their third phone talks this year, following the first in January and the second in June.继今年1月和6月的两次通话后，两国元首上月再度通电话，完成了今年第三次高层沟通。In the most recent phone talks, Xi said the two nations "are fully capable of helping each other succeed and prospering together", and Trump said the two countries working together can get many great things done that are good for world peace and stability.在此次通话中，习近平主席表示，中美两国“完全有能力相互成就、共同繁荣”，特朗普总统则回应称，美中携手合作，能够成就诸多造福世界和平与稳定的伟大事业。Diao Daming, a professor of US studies at Renmin University of China's School of International Relations, noted that the China-US ties, despite some ups and downs this year, "have maintained a generally stable status thanks to the navigating role played by head-of-state diplomacy".中国人民大学国际关系学院美国问题教授刁大明指出，尽管今年中美关系经历了一些起伏，但“在元首外交的战略引领下，总体保持了稳定发展态势”。The ties have been affected by destabilizing factors such as economic andtrade frictions brought by Washington's view of China as a competitor, he said.他认为，当前中美关系受到多重不稳定因素印象，其中包括华盛顿将中国视为竞争对手所引发的经贸摩擦等问题。On Monday, Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a phone call with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in which Wang noted that both Xi and Trump are "world-class leaders", and their long-term exchanges and mutual respect have become "the most valuable strategic asset in China-US relations".周一，中国外交部长王毅与美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥（Marco Rubio）通电话。王毅指出，习近平主席和特朗普总统都是“世界级领导人”，双方长期以来的交流互敬，已成为“中美关系中最宝贵的战略资产”。China is now the US' second-largest source of imports and third-largest market for its exports.数据显示，中国目前是美国第二大进口来源国，同时也是美国第三大出口市场。This year, the two sides have held five rounds of economic and trade talks—in Geneva, Switzerland in May; in London, the United Kingdom, in June; in Stockholm, Sweden, in July; in Madrid, Spain, in September; and in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Saturday and Sunday.今年中美双方已举行五轮贸易磋商，磋商地点分别是5月在瑞士日内瓦、6月在英国伦敦、7月在瑞典斯德哥尔摩、9月在西班牙马德里，以及上周六至周日在马来西亚吉隆坡举行的最新一轮磋商。Wu Xinbo, dean of Fudan University's Institute of International Studies, said the latest economic and trade talks in Malaysia reached a framework consensus on addressing the current urgent economic and trade issues on an equal footing, and they helped pave the way for the head-of-state meeting in the ROK.复旦大学国际问题研究院院长吴心伯表示，马来西亚最新一轮经贸谈判中，双方就平等解决当前紧迫的经贸问题达成框架性共识，为此次在韩国举行的中美国家元首会晤奠定了良好的基础。afloat/əˈfloʊt/adj.（在水中）漂浮的yield/jiːld/v.推动，产出impetus/ˈɪm.pə.t̬əs/n.刺激trade friction贸易摩擦

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin, John and Joon Ha break down how South Korea is tightening monetary and strategic discipline ahead of next week's high-stakes APEC meetings. They begin with the Bank of Korea's decision to keep interest rates at 2.5% — a move to anchor the won and curb housing risks while signaling fiscal restraint before President Donald Trump's visit and final trade talks with Washington. Next, they turn to Seoul's expanding defense diplomacy at ADEX 2025, including Estonia's move toward the K239 Chunmoo and Poland's submarine project, and the launch of the KSS-III Batch-II submarine that underscores Seoul's maturing deterrence posture. The team then examines Foreign Minister Cho Hyun's push to revise the U.S.-ROK 123 Agreement, granting Seoul more flexibility in nuclear-fuel processing and deepening its quest for energy sovereignty. Finally, they preview the APEC week in Gyeongju — from Trump's one-night stop and Xi Jinping's industrial diplomacy to the APEC CEO Summit where Nvidia's Jensen Huang joins Korea's chaebol leaders — as Seoul braces for a defining moment in global diplomacy. About the podcast: The Korea Pro Podcast is a weekly conversation hosted by Korea Risk Group Executive Director Jeongmin Kim, Editor John Lee and correspondent Joon Ha Park, diving deep into the most pressing stories shaping South Korea — and dissecting the most complicated ones for professionals monitoring ROK politics, diplomacy, culture, society and technology.

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin, John and Joon Ha examine how South Korea is being pulled deeper into the U.S.-China confrontation just as it prepares to host both Donald Trump and Xi Jinping at the Gyeongju APEC summit. They begin with Beijing's unprecedented sanctions on five U.S.-linked Hanwha Ocean affiliates — a signal that China's Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law is now targeting South Korean firms for cooperating with Washington. Next, they turn to Seoul's crisis diplomacy in Cambodia and Samsung Electronics' record-breaking third-quarter profit, discussing how the company's AI-driven recovery exposes the limits of South Korea's industrial autonomy under U.S. export rules and Chinese controls. Finally, the team looks ahead to next week's key events — the Seoul ADEX defense expo, parliamentary audits of the military, judiciary and environmental agencies, and the anticipated state visits by Trump and Xi that could redefine Seoul's room for maneuver in a divided world.

Pet mesecev pred volitvami se politični boj vseh proti vsem stopnjuje. Del tega ni le politika, ampak tudi državne institucije. Kdo se v volilno tekmo podaja z najboljših startnih položajev, kaj v politični spopad prinašajo novi stari obrazi politike in kaj si od vsega skupaj lahko obetamo državljani? Odgovori v tokratnem Studiu ob 17-ih. Gostje: dr. Miro Cerar, nekdanji predsednik vlade; Antiša Korljan, politični analitik; Rok Čakš, politični analitik. Avtorica oddaja Jolanda Lebar.

Rok po wyborach rządząca koalicja pod przewodnictwem ministra Żurka nie spełniła wielu oczekiwań społeczeństwa. Piotr Trudnowski stanowczo krytykuje brak realizacji obietnic wyborczych, narastający chaos w instytucjach państwowych oraz spadek zaufania do rządu. Z kolei Wojciech Szeląg dostrzega poprawę stylu zarządzania oraz pewną stabilizację, ale przyznaje, że kontrowersyjne reformy wymiaru sprawiedliwości wzbudzają liczne emocje i podziały. Szczególną krytykę budzą zmiany w sądownictwie, takie jak tzw. „sąd-lotek” oraz wprowadzenie neo-sędziów, które zdaniem Trudnowskiego łamią prawo i zagrażają konstytucji. Szeląg natomiast broni tych działań, zarzucając opozycji symetryzm i polityczne manipulacje mające na celu obstrukcję rządu.

„Hnutí ANO je teď na koni. V koalici s Motoristy a SPD bude na začátku snadno tlačit to, co chce prosadit. K obměně v kabinetu může dojít, nedivil bych se tomu. Ale až ANO prosadí základní věci,“ říká sociolog Martin Buchtík. Kdo zatím vyhrává vyjednávání o příští vládě? Je opravdu zcela vyloučená spolupráce hnutí ANO s některou ze stran někdejší vládní pětikoalice? A kdy se budeme mít líp, jak ANO slibovalo v kampani? Témata pro Marii Bastlovou a sociologa a šéfa výzkumné agentury STEM Martina Buchtíka v povolebním díle bonusového projektu Ptám se já - Rok voleb.Vítěz letošních sněmovních voleb, šéf hnutí ANO Andrej Babiš v pátek večer oznámil, jaké obrysy by mohla mít jeho vláda. Celkem by měla mít 16 členů, tedy o jednoho méně než nynější koaliční kabinet Petra Fialy (ODS). Hnutí ANO by mělo mít 8 resortů a premiéra. Tři křesla má dostat hnutí SPD a čtyři Motoristé. Kromě pozice předsedy vlády bude mít ANO ministerstvo financí, průmyslu, zdravotnictví, práce, školství, vnitra, pro místní rozvoj a spravedlnosti. Motoristé mají získat resorty zahraničí, kultury, životního prostředí a nové ministerstvo sportu, prevence a zdraví. V čele resortů obrany, zemědělství a dopravy pak budou odborníci za SPD. To obsadí také pozici předsedy Sněmovny. „SPD je v úplně ponižující situaci, protože má lepší výsledek než Motoristé a nebude mít ve vládě svoje lidi,“ komentuje rozložení sil v možném příštím kabinetu sociolog Martin Buchtík. „Přistoupili na to zhruba hned večer, kdy se sečetly výsledky, to znamená v sobotu večer, ani o tom trochu nevyjednávali. A zdá se, že ti tři experti nominovaní za SPD budou experti, jejichž jména napsal Andrej Babiš na papír Okamurovi, jemu nic jiného nezbylo. On bude předsedou Sněmovny, což je zjevně pozice, po které vnitřně hodně toužil, bude vysoký ústavní činitel. Ale nespokojenost v SPD se musí projevit.“Podle sociologa je velmi pravděpodobné, že vláda ve složení ANO, SPD a Motoristé skutečně vznikne. Že tento kabinet vydrží, je podle něj už jisté méně. „Hnutí ANO je pragmaticky v tuhle chvíli na koni v tom smyslu, že má připravené zákony, prý dokonce i paragrafované znění. A v koalici s Motoristy a SPD bude na začátku snadno tlačit to, co chce prosadit. Když se potom ukáže, že vláda je příliš nestabilní, že tam jsou příliš velká ega, nebo že pozice SPD je pro voliče nebo i straníky v SPD příliš ponižující, tak tam může dojít k nějaké obměně. Tomu bych se vůbec nedivil,“ říká sociolog Buchtík a pokračuje: „Ale nestane se to dřív, než ANO prosadí základní věci. Ono to ani nedává jinak smysl, protože musí dojít k nějakým dohodám.“Udrží si ANO voliče, které ve volbách přetáhlo jiným stranám? Má koalice Spolu držet dál pohromadě i v opozici? A jak by to mohlo vypadat na resortech vedených Motoristy? --V bonusovém projektu pořadu Ptám se já – Rok voleb moderátorka Marie Bastlová a sociolog Martin Buchtík glosují zásadní trendy a témata letošních sněmovních voleb. Sledujte na Seznam Zprávách, poslouchejte na Podcasty.cz a ve všech podcastových aplikacích.Archiv všech dílů najdete tady.

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin, John and Joon Ha examine how global policy shifts are closing South Korea's room for neutrality. They begin with China's Orders 61 and 62, sweeping export-control measures that extend Beijing's authority to overseas manufacturers and leave South Korean firms trapped between competing U.S. and Chinese trade laws. Next, they turn to Japan, where Sanae Takaichi's victory in the Liberal Democratic Party leadership race sets the stage for her likely confirmation as prime minister on Oct. 15, testing the stability of Seoul-Tokyo relations just as cooperation had solidified. Finally, the team analyzes Europe's proposed steel quota cuts and 50% tariffs, which mirror Washington's protectionism and squeeze Korean mills out of major Western markets amid China's export glut. They close by previewing next week's developments — Japan's prime ministerial election and the resumption of South Korea's parliamentary audits following the Chuseok holidays.

Pro naše severní a zároveň jižní sousedy byl rok 1990 snad ještě důležitější než pro Čechy a Slováky. Rok zázraků, jak to pojmenoval britský novinář Timothy Garton Ash, přinesl naprosto novou realitu takzvaným západním i takzvaným východním Němcům.

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin, John and Joon Ha dissect a week dominated by U.S. volatility and South Korea's response. They start with Washington's first government shutdown since 2019, examining its implications for trade negotiations, U.S. Forces Korea operations and the Bank of Korea's policy outlook. The team then unpacks the Trump administration's proposed semiconductor-content tariffs, a measure that could upend Seoul's $350 billion investment-for-tariff deal and strike at the heart of South Korea's export economy. They also discuss the U.S. decision to clear Seoul of currency manipulation, and why it offers only fleeting relief. Turning to domestic policy, the hosts analyze President Lee Jae-myung's new “self-reliant defense” doctrine and the ruling party's abolition of the breach of trust crime, a landmark shift in corporate law. They close with the government data hub fire that has paralyzed ministries weeks before the APEC summit, exposing vulnerabilities in South Korea's digital infrastructure.

Ačkoli se většině sportovcům i jejich národním organizacím jevila věc jasně, dnes už bývalý předseda MOV Thomas Bach se viditelně snažil, aby na loňské pařížské olympiádě mohly plnoprávně startovat reprezentace Ruska a Běloruska. Rok před tím například sekundoval na asijských hrách v Kuang-čou čínskému prezidentovi Si Ťin-pchingovi při jeho chvále MOV, který prý „hraje jedinečnou roli při ochraně světového míru a dodržuje zásadu nepolitizace sportu“.

Ľudia menia televízor každé štyri roky, o novej práčke chcú vedieť všetko a očakávajú okamžitú reakciu na reklamáciu. Nákup elektroniky sa zmenil na komplexnú službu, kde produkt je len začiatok. Fúzia lídrov slovenského elektrosegmentu – spoločností NAY a Datart – priniesla zásadné zmeny na trhu. Rok po spojení hodnotí obchodný riaditeľ NAY Vladimír Sušil prvé výsledky: jednotný e-shop, rýchlejšie služby, širší sortiment aj synergie naprieč oboma krajinami. Zákazníci chcú dnes viac než len výhodnú cenu – očakávajú aj poradenstvo, expresné doručenie a ľudský prístup. „Na Slovensku sme už plne prešli na rovnaké webové rozhranie ako v Česku. Využívame synergie v oblasti logistiky, nákupu aj personálnych procesov,“ vysvetľuje V. Sušil a dodáva, že samotná fúzia bola schválená až po dôkladnej analýze protimonopolnými úradmi.

Simon and Dan return with the second half of their deep dive into 50 Ways to Invest in the AI Revolution. While Part 1 covered the obvious giants—semiconductors, hyperscalers, pure-play AI software, enterprise apps, and data center REITs—this episode looks at some of the less obvious but equally important beneficiaries of AI. From utilities and grid infrastructure to commodities like uranium, copper, and natural gas, they explore the backbone powering AI’s massive energy demand. They also dig into healthcare, cybersecurity, IT consulting, and industrial automation—sectors where AI is already improving efficiency, margins, and innovation in ways most investors overlook. Once again, they highlight dozens of companies and ETFs across these subsectors, balancing both the opportunities and the risks. If you’re wondering how to get diversified AI exposure beyond the usual suspects like NVDA and MSFT, this episode is packed with fresh angles and ticker ideas.

Before the Conference League anthem came on in Celje Slovenia, one warm August night this year, today's guest had a lot of work behind him already while I was was on my way via train, uber and rental car from Bosnia. He is Rok Gregoric, press and pr wizard of NK Celje, a Slovenian club that was long a middling in the league of an already small country but has made it to the group phase of the conference league last year and again this year. A remarkable feat for a really pretty quiet city between the two main Slovenian cities Ljubljana and Maribor. Find out why. But also: what goes on in a smaller club when a UEFA competition comes to town? How do they coordinate with the visitors? What security arrangements have to be made? Where does all the UEFA signage come from? Which media gets which access? Rok takes us behind the scenes of his work, and shares about the club and the city - and a remarkable coach. HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE:NK Celje, websiteCelje, with city history, WikipediaNEW: send me a text message!

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin, John and Joon Ha break down a consequential week for South Korea's diplomacy and markets. They start with President Lee Jae-myung's high-profile trip to the United Nations, where he unveiled his END (Exchange, Normalization, Denuclearization) peace plan, presided over a Security Council debate on AI and held talks with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Polish President Karol Nawrocki and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The team then examines Foreign Minister Cho Hyun's trilateral meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Japanese Foreign Minister Iwaya Takeshi, and Lee's own sharp remarks about “submissive attitudes” toward the U.S. alliance. Finally, they turn to the domestic economy: the IMF's downbeat growth forecast and the government's proposed crackdown on opaque share buybacks, which signal a broader effort to tighten corporate governance and reassure foreign investors. About the podcast: The Korea Pro Podcast is a weekly 15-minute conversation hosted by Korea Risk Group Executive Director Jeongmin Kim, Editor John Lee and correspondent Joon Ha Park, diving deep into the most pressing stories shaping South Korea — and dissecting the most complicated ones for professionals monitoring ROK politics, diplomacy, culture, society and technology.

Chris Smith gives some stock picks, including Rockwell Automation (ROK) and Williams (WMB). Chris thinks that manufacturing reshoring will “accelerate” names like ROK, noting the huge disparity in their revenue from abroad vs their North American revenue: “they earn effectively 20-30 times more” in North America than in Asia. On Williams, he expects a power shortage coming as more data centers drag on our already old and strained energy grid. He calls Williams the “premier” name in natural gas energy infrastructure. For similar reasons, he likes Vistra (VST).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, Jeongmin, John and Joon Ha unpack a fast-moving week for South Korea's economy and diplomacy. They begin with the U.S. Federal Reserve's quarter-point rate cut — the first since Dec. 2024 — and analyze how the move could influence the Bank of Korea's next steps, capital flows and the won. The team then dissects the Trump administration's warning that South Korea will face higher tariffs unless it accepts the same trade terms as Japan, noting Seoul officials' unusually blunt remarks that the U.S. is no longer the free-trade partner it once was. They also explore Mexico's plan to impose 50% tariffs on vehicles from countries without a free-trade agreement, a policy that could squeeze South Korean automakers and limit Seoul's trade flexibility. Next, Jeongmin and Joon Ha turn to President Lee Jae-myung's newly announced 123 key policy tasks, outlining the administration's broad domestic and economic agenda. In particular, they look at Seoul's security and foreign policy agenda, including the administration's ambition to complete OPCON transfer and reorganize the Marine Corps into a fourth quasi branch of the ROK Armed Forces.They discuss how these priorities are likely to shape both near-term governance and South Korea's longer-term growth strategy. Finally, the hosts look ahead to upcoming developments on Lee's expected keynote address at the United Nations on Sept. 23and other key events shaping the weeks ahead.

Rok 2027 bude ideální rok na reformy, které Česko potřebuje jako sůl, aby se obstálo ve světě umělé inteligence, mezinárodních rizik a stárnoucí populace. Až za dva roky se totiž nekonají žádné volby. Za rok se půjde volit do obecních zastupitelstev a třetiny Senátu, v roce 2028 jsou volby dokonce troje – prezidentské, krajské a senátní, pak už zase do Sněmovny. A politici se shodnou, že děsit voliče velkými změnami těsně před hlasováním nevede k úspěchu.

This week, Jason is joined by a serial entrepreneur who has built four of the most successful environmental service businesses in North America, David Royce! David is the founder and chairman of Aptive Environmental providing pest solutions to thousands of cities in 34 states. David's companies have been highlighted in national publications, including The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune, Entrepreneur, and Inc. Magazine. In 2015, David was awarded the Earnest Young National Entrepreneur of the Year award.  David shares his journey from knocking on doors as a pest control salesman to becoming Rookie of the Year by mastering sales through relentless study. He breaks down the art of closing deals, why perfecting your pitch is everything, and how taking initiative—like creating a training manual—helped him dramatically increase his earnings summer after summer. David also dives into why “unsexy” jobs are underrated, how he nearly bankrupted his business before scaling it nationally, and the ways Tony Hsieh of Zappos influenced his approach to company culture. He opens up about his biggest career mistake, the importance of mastering sales as a lifelong skill, how to manage newfound wealth, what he looks for (and avoids) when hiring, and what's next on his entrepreneurial journey. Plus, he shares his best advice for anyone looking to build a successful business from the ground up. David reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!
