Saudi Arabia's murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi; Belarus' hijacking of a plane to arrest opposition journalist Roman Protasevich; and Rwanda's forceful rendition of “Hotel Rwanda” hero Paul Rusesabagina are some of the most well-known examples of transnational repression by authoritarian regimes. They are part of a larger trend of regimes aggressively reaching across the globe to silence or intimidate dissidents in exile. This panel discussion, recorded at the 2022 Oslo Freedom Forum, examines the practice of transnational repression, mainly as it targets independent journalists. Featured Guests: Megha Rajagopalan: Investigative journalist Rushan Abbas: Executive director of Campaign for Uyghurs Masih Alinejad: Iranian journalist and activist Can Dündar: Turkish journalist and documentarian

Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded August 20th, 2022 Colombia inaugurated Gustavo Petro earlier this month. The election was close fought, the results indicating a near even divide between the Pacto Histórico candidate and his right-wing opposition, who split the vote between them, allowing Petro's victory. But, whether loved or loathed what's certain is, Colombia's first ever leftist president has made history, and could bring "historic change" to South America's most troubled nation. At least so says my first guest, who's recently returned from attending the August 7th inauguration ceremonies in Bogota. Dan Kovalik is a lawyer, educator, labour, peace, and justice activist, democracy defender, journalist, author, and filmmaker. Dan's observed elections in Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Colombia – where he witnessed the 2016 peace plebiscite promising an end to the generational war there. Kovalik's book titles include: ‘Cancel This Book: The Progressive Case Against Cancel Culture,' the "Plot to" series on American efforts to undermine the governments and economies of Iran, Venezuela, Russia, (and to control the World entirely) and his latest is, ‘No More War: How the West Violates International Law by Using ‘Humanitarian' Intervention to Advance Economic and Strategic Interest.' His recent article, 'Colombia's First Leftist President Will Bring Historic Change, If the US Lets Him' is a sign post at Colombia's political crossroad. Dan Kovalik in the first half. And; it's no surprise Canada's foreign policy is aligned with the United States on Ukraine, Russia, Iran, China, and Latin America; successive federal governments have always got along by going along with our behemoth neigbour south, but it would shock many Canadians to learn the degree to which their political system has been infiltrated, and the mechanisms used to deliver the nation's decision-making into foreign hands. Aidan Jonah is the Editor-in-Chief of The Canada Files, a socialist, anti-imperialist news site covering Canadian imperialism, federal politics, and left-wing resistance to colonialism across the world. Jonah has broken numerous stories, including how the Canadian Armed Forces trained neo-Nazi "journalist" Roman Protasevich while he was with the Azov Battalion, and how a CIA front group funded the group which drove the so-called "Uyghur genocide" vote in parliament. Aidan Jonah and just when did the CIA start pulling Canada's strings? in the second half. But first, Dan Kovalik and Colombia's gamble on sovereignty with leftist, Gustavo Petro.

British and Irish airlines are some of the safest in the world but the case of Ryanair flight 4798 shows that it's not just crashes that airlines need to remain vigilant over when looking at safety.Ryanair flight FR4978 was travelling from the Greek capital, Athens, to Vilnius in Lithuania on Sunday 23 May when it made an abrupt change of course over Belarus, some 10km (six miles) from the Lithuanian border. According to an unverified transcript from the Belarusian transport ministry, air traffic controllers told the pilot at 09:30 GMT "you have [a] bomb on board and it can be activated over Vilnius". Even though the plane was closer to Vilnius than Minsk, the pilot was told to divert to the Belarusian capital. At 09:47 the pilot declared an emergency. As the plane landed witnesses said Roman Protasevich, an opposition Belarusian journalist, was "super scared", and one quoted him as saying "I'll get the death penalty here". He had been charged in absentia with inciting mass protests, but Belarus's KGB security agency also placed him on a list of "individuals involved in terrorist activity". When the plane's 126 passengers disembarked, police arrested Mr Protasevich and Sofia Sapega, a Russian citizen studying in Lithuania. Three other passengers were listed as remaining in Minsk. The other passengers were allowed on to the plane, which flew on to Vilnius around seven hours later. And even now, aviation advisors and safety boards are not fully sure what happened.Of course this podcast is completely free, as is my weekly travel email.

On May 23, a control tower radioed a Ryanair jetliner that it had a bomb on board. A fighter jet appeared off its wing, and Flight FR4978, en route from Greece to Lithuania, was compelled to make a sharp turn and land in Belarus. But there was no bomb: only Roman Protasevich, an ashen-faced journalist who informed his fellow passengers that he was the reason the plane was diverted.

Mark Sleboda, Moscow-based international relations security analyst, joins us to discuss the virtual meeting between the respective presidents of the United States and the Russian Federation. Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated his red lines in Ukraine, and President Biden pushed a strawman Russian invasion in Tuesday's virtual meeting.Dan Lazare, author, investigative journalist, and author of "America's Undeclared War," joins us to discuss Germany's new government. The Germans have announced the formation of their new coalition government. However, a few of the names indicate that a more neocon approach to international affairs may be in order.Laith Marouf, broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, joins us to discuss the Middle East. William Burns, the head of the CIA, has stated that he has seen no evidence that Iran is seeking a nuclear weapon. Also, the US is imposing more sanctions on Iran, making it less likely that a JCPOA settlement will be reached.Caleb Maupin, journalist and political analyst, joins us to discuss Kamala Harris. Politico reports that Kamala Harris is seeking new methods of gaining support as her polling numbers remain in the basement. Harris' team thinks that gaining support from Black women is the key to moving her numbers in a positive direction.Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink, joins us to discuss Pentagon spending. Congress has passed a 768 billion dollar defense spending bill with little pushback from either party. The legislation does not include the controversial measure to include women in the draft.Professor Nicolai Petro, professor of political science at the University of Rhode Island specializing in Ukraine and Russia, joins us to discuss the influence of the Nazi ideology in Eastern Europe. Several Eastern European governments trace their legacy back to Nazi collaborating groups during World War II. The Ukrainian president recently praised the legacy of Nazi collaborators, and evidence has come out that Belarusian coup conspirator Roman Protasevich trained with the neo-Nazi "Azov" battalion in Ukraine.George Koo, journalist, social activist, and international business consultant, joins us to discuss President Biden's summit of democracy. Koo's article examines the state of democracy in the United States and how that relates to President Biden's claim that he is the leader of the free world and thereby granted the right to organize the world against non-democratic nations.Nick Davies, peace activist and author of "Blood on Our Hands: The American Invasion of Iraq," joins us to discuss the United States drone program. The US drone killing machine has been joined by non-government militias due to the easy access to inexpensive drone technology. Assassination attacks have become frequent and the Houthi rebels have inflicted significant damage on the Saudis, often using homemade or commercially available drones.

Belarusian state broadcasters have aired multiple interviews with opposition journalist Roman Protasevich since he was arrested in Minsk in May. But until earlier this week, he had yet to speak to any foreign media outlets. The Russian state-controlled broadcaster RT published an interview with Protasevich on Wednesday, August 11. In conversation with special correspondent Konstantin Pridybailo, who reported on last year's mass protests in Belarus for RT, Protasevich repeated many of the same talking points he covered on Belarusian state television. That said, he did reveal previously unknown plans to launch his own "neutral" media outlet. Original Article: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2021/08/13/co-author-of-the-coup

On the evening of August 10, Belarusian state television aired a brief interview with Russian national Sofia Sapega. The 23-year-old was detained in Minsk alongside Belarusian opposition journalist Roman Protasevich on May 23, shortly after the forced landing of a Ryanair plane. After spending weeks in a detention center run by Belarus's intelligence agency (the KGB), Sapega and Protasevich were transferred to house arrest in late June. They are now awaiting trial on multiple felony charges. In conversation with television host Ksenia Lebedeva, Sapega recounted their circumstances surrounding the arrests. Among other things, she underscored that "there were no KGB officers on the plane." Original Article: https://meduza.io/en/feature/2021/08/11/there-were-no-kgb-officers-on-the-plane

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6669L'OMBRA DEL COMUNISMO SULLE OLIMPIADI DI TOKYOL'atleta Tsimanouskaya della repubblica ex sovietica della Bielorussia ha chiesto asilo politico nell'ambasciata della Poloniadi Stefano MagniNelle Olimpiadi di Tokyo 2020 abbiamo avuto anche l'occasione di rivivere le emozioni della Guerra Fredda. Un'atleta della repubblica ex sovietica della Bielorussia, la velocista Krystsina Tsimanouskaya, ieri avrebbe dovuto correre i 200 metri femminili, ma invece ha defezionato ottenendo asilo nell'ambasciata della Polonia. Presto si recherà a Varsavia come rifugiata politica.La Bielorussia, da agosto, è alle prese con una protesta popolare massiccia contro l'esito (scontato) delle elezioni presidenziali dell'agosto 2020, quelle in cui venne riconfermato ancora, dopo 16 anni ai vertici dello Stato, Aleksandr Lukashenko, dopo un conteggio dei voti alquanto dubbio. Lo sport è sempre stato un tipico canale di propaganda dei regimi comunisti e la Bielorussia, che è rimasta comunista, non fa eccezione. Il presidente del Comitato Olimpico bielorusso dal 1997 è stato lo stesso presidente Lukashenko, caso unico di presidente della repubblica che è anche il presidente del Comitato Olimpico. Solo di recente gli è subentrato il figlio, Viktor, che potrebbe succedergli anche nella carica di capo dello Stato. Colpito da sanzioni per la dura repressione della protesta anti-presidenziale (27mila arresti e l'uso diffuso della tortura nelle carceri), Lukashenko non può recarsi personalmente alle Olimpiadi. I suoi atleti neppure, perché in mille hanno firmato, già un anno fa, all'inizio della protesta, una lettera aperta in cui chiedono le dimissioni del presidente ed elezioni anticipate.LA REPRESSIONE DEL REGIMEDi questi atleti, almeno 95 hanno partecipato alle manifestazioni di piazza e sono stati arrestati, sette sono stati condannati per motivi politici, 60 sono stati licenziati dalla squadra nazionale, hanno perso tutti i finanziamenti (tutto lo sport è statale, in Bielorussia) e hanno subito pressioni per ritrattare. I casi di cui si è occupata maggiormente la nota Ong in difesa dei diritti umani sono quelli di Aliaksandra Herasimienia (tre volte medaglia olimpica di nuoto), licenziata da tutte le scuole di cui era istruttrice per essersi unita alla protesta; Yelena Leuchanka (due volte medaglia olimpica di basket) arrestata nell'agosto del 2020 e condannata a una durissima "detenzione amministrativa" nel famigerato carcere di Аkrestsina; Andrei Krauchanka (una medaglia d'argento in atletica leggera), arrestato nelle prime proteste e sottoposto a carcere duro, dove ha contratto il Covid. Sono casi selezionati di atleti di fama internazionale, ma ce ne sono molti di più nel Paese ex sovietico. In totale, Amnesty International calcola 124 atleti che hanno subito una qualche forma di persecuzione.In una situazione di questo genere devono essere sorte molte difficoltà a formare una squadra olimpica nazionale da inviare a Tokyo e Krystsina Tsimanouskaya, sulla sua pagina Instagram, ha denunciato un'organizzazione caotica e approssimativa. Per sostituire una staffettista che non poteva recarsi ai Giochi, il 29 luglio, sarebbe stata inserita all'ultimo nella 4x400 senza alcuna preparazione, né il necessario preavviso. La sua denuncia ha fatto notizia ed ha causato la comprensibile indignazione dei funzionari bielorussi presenti a Tokyo.LE MINACCE IN STILE SOVIETICOConvocata nella notte dall'allenatore della squadra di atletica leggera e da un alto funzionario del Comitato Olimpico bielorusso, ha subito pressioni e minacce. L'audio dell'incontro è trapelato ed è stato diffuso ieri da Euroradio. Con un linguaggio mafioso, i due dirigenti le hanno detto chiaramente che "sei come una mosca che finisce nella tela di un ragno, più provi a ribellarti più ne rimani avvolta". E per uscire dalla sgradevole situazione, le hanno consigliato di sparire "presso i tuoi genitori" o comunque lontano dai riflettori fino alla fine dello scandalo. La questione sarebbe finita nella rubrica "trattamento duro dei tuoi dipendenti, dopo il loro uso ingenuo dei social network", se non ci fosse stata la successiva defezione dell'atleta.Krystsina Tsimanouskaya, infatti, il 1 agosto avrebbe dovuto essere imbarcata su un aereo a Tokyo, contro la sua volontà, e rispedita a Minsk. Ma si è rivolta alla polizia giapponese, poi ha chiesto aiuto e asilo politico all'Austria, infine ha ottenuto aiuto dalla Polonia che, tramite la sua ambasciata in Giappone, è stata pronta a concedere un visto umanitario alla fuggitiva. Proposte di aiuto sono arrivate anche da altri Paesi che hanno avuto esperienze dirette del comunismo, quali la Slovenia e la Repubblica Ceca. Il marito della velocista, Arseni Zdanevich, ha invece lasciato la Bielorussia alla volta dell'Ucraina.C'è dunque molto di più in ballo rispetto a una normale "lavata di capo". La Tsimanouskaya era certa di essere arrestata una volta tornata in patria. L'esilio volontario del marito dimostra che questo timore si estende anche ai parenti più stretti. Stava già montando una campagna di denigrazione e diffamazione sistematica nei suoi confronti da parte dei media di Stato bielorussi, ulteriore segnale che, tornata a casa, non l'avrebbe fatta franca.Un'associazione sorta per difendere i diritti degli atleti ucraini, la Bssf, ha pagato il biglietto del volo per Varsavia alla Tsimanouskaya. Il 4 agosto, sempre che il suo volo non venga dirottato dai bielorussi (come hanno fatto per arrestare un altro dissidente, Roman Protasevich), sarà al sicuro nella capitale polacca, dove chiederà asilo politico.

Immaginate di trovarvi su un aereo e di sapere che a breve arriverete a destinazione. Ad un certo punto, vi rendete conto che quell'aereo, viene affiancato da un jet militare, portandolo a cambiare direzione atterrando in un altro stato. Che cosa provereste? Ecco, questo è quello che effettivamente è accaduto il 23 maggio ad un volo di linea Ryanair Atene-Vilnius in Lituania, dirottato dalle autorità della Bielorussia proprio sulla sua capitale, Minsk, perché a bordo si trovava il giornalista dissidente Roman Protasevich, arrestato sulla pista di atterraggio assieme alla compagna Sofia Sapega. Il fatto è stato talmente grave che ha portato l'Unione Europea a chiudere il proprio spazio aereo e i suoi aeroporti ai voli bielorussi. Che cosa vuol dire tutto questo? La compagnia aerea di stato bielorussa, Belavia, non potrà volare, decollare o far atterrare i propri aerei, dagli aeroporti dei paesi membri. Una misura molto pesante che porta all'isolamento del paese, che in questo momento è più instabile che mai.

The two sides were already at odds over Lukashenko's victory in last year's presidential election, which was widely deemed fraudulent and which triggered huge protests against his 27-year rule. 此緊張局勢之背景，為布魯塞爾與明斯克間之僵局，此僵局在五月間惡化，由於白俄羅斯這前蘇聯共和國，強迫瑞安航空一架噴射機在白俄羅斯境內降落，以便當局逮捕機上一名反對派記者。歐盟與白俄羅斯雙方對盧卡申科贏得去年白俄羅斯總統大選一事看法已經分歧，這場選舉廣被認為是舞弊，引發了反對盧卡申科二十七年統治的大規模抗議。 EU penalties over the vote — and the crackdown on demonstrators that ensued — were criticized as toothless, but the plane incident sparked measures targeting Belarus' aviation sector and, more recently, its key industries. The tensions have left Lukashenko reliant on Russia's Vladimir Putin for support. 對於該選舉，以及隨後當局對示威者的鎮壓，歐盟對白俄羅斯的懲罰被批評為沒有約束力。但飛機事件引發了針對白俄羅斯航空業，以及最近的對該國關鍵產業的制裁措施。緊張的局勢，讓盧卡申科向俄羅斯總統弗拉迪米爾‧普丁尋求依靠。 Lukashenko threatened in a speech in May to send drugs and illegal migrants into the EU unchecked, with Lithuania a prime target as it has become a temporary home for the president's political rivals. The number of undocumented immigrants — mostly from Iraq — crossing from Belarus jumped to 822 through July 2 this year from 81 in the whole of 2020. 盧卡申科在五月一次演說中威脅，將不再約束毒品及非法移民，任其進入歐盟，尤其是立陶宛，因為立陶宛已成為盧卡申科政敵的臨時庇護所。由白俄羅斯入境的無證移民（主要來自伊拉克），從二?二?年全年的八十一人，已躍升至今年截至七月二日的八百二十二人。 A still image obtained by Reuters shows a flight path of Ryanair FR4978 on May 23 on its way from Athens, Greece to Lithuanian capital Vilnius and diverted to Minsk, Belarus when flying over the country. Citing a “bomb threat,” Belarusian flight controllers ordered the jet to land in Minsk, where authorities arrested Roman Protasevich, a dissident journalist who was on board. Sharing a 679-kilometer border, the Lithuania-Belarus tensions reflect the struggles between EU and Russia — the great powers behind them. 路透社取得之五月二十三日瑞安航空FR4978班機飛行路線，顯示該班機原訂由希臘雅典飛往立陶宛首都維爾紐斯，卻在飛越白俄羅斯國境上空時，轉往明斯克。此因白俄羅斯航管人員謊稱機上有炸彈，命飛機在明斯克降落，白俄羅斯當局遂藉此逮捕搭乘該機之異議記者羅曼?普羅塔塞維奇。立陶宛與白俄羅斯之邊界長六百七十九公里，兩國之衝突反應出其背後兩大勢力——歐盟及俄羅斯——之角力。Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2021/07/12/2003760685  

Host Elisabeth Braw, speaks to Member of the European Parliament Andrius Kubilius about Belarus force landing a plan carrying Belarusian dissident journalist Roman Protasevich. They also discuss authoritarian leader Lukashenka flooding the Lithuanian border with Middle Eastern migrants in response to European Union sanctions. Mr. Kubilius is the chair of the Delegation to the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly and a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Industry, Research, and Energy in the European Parliament.

Last year's protests in Belarus seemed like a watershed moment that was poised to bring an end to the 26-year rule of president Alexander Lukashenko.  The peaceful demonstrations that started with songs, chants and red-and-white flags were soon met with state-sanctioned violence that saw thousands of people imprisoned and many more fleeing the country. There were widespread reports of beatings, torture and the inhumane treatment of prisoners – those on the outside faced intimidation and the prospect of losing their jobs. The latest news from Belarus that shocked the world was the dramatic abduction of journalist Roman Protasevich, whose Ryanair flight was force-landed in Minsk, creating an international scandal. While he is currently under house arrest, his future looks bleak.  In the latest episode of Trouble with the Truth, Lana Estemirova talks to risk analyst Alex Kokcharov and journalist Hanna Liubakova- about the role of telegram channels in resistance, the fate of Roman Protasevich, whether sanctions work and how crackdown on Belarusian media is complicating the job of reporters. 

Hungary's controversial Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, has been confronted by other EU leaders at a summit in Brussels, in angry and personal clashes not seen for years among the bloc's leaders. The debate, over a new law seen as anti-LGBTQ+, saw the Dutch Prime Minister, Marc Rutte, warn Orban that Hungary would have to leave the EU if human rights were not respected. Also, Belarus has moved opposition blogger Roman Protasevich from jail to house arrest.

The United States, the European Union, Canada and The United Kingdom have imposed sweeping sanctions on Belarusian entities and officials and called on Minsk to end its repressive practices against its own people.The allies also told the administration of President Alexander Lukashenko to cooperate with investigations into the forced landing of a Ryanair flight there in May and the arrest of the journalist Roman Protasevich and his girlfriend Sofia Sapega, who were on board.They said they are committed to supporting the long-suppressed democratic aspirations of the people of Belarus and stand together to impose costs on the regime for its blatant disregard of international commitments.

*) Ethiopia votes in test for PM Abiy amid reports of abuses Vote-counting is under way in Ethiopia's twice-delayed parliamentary elections as famine blights its war-torn Tigray region. The vote is a test for Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, whose rise to power three years ago seemed to signal a break with decades of authoritarian rule. But he has waged war in the Tigray region and his party has been accused of election abuses, while critics say violence is still prevalent and that freedoms are limited. *) Iran president-elect refuses to meet Biden Iran's President-elect Ebrahim Raisi says he will only allow nuclear talks if national interests are guaranteed in his first presser since winning last week's elections. Raisi ruled out meeting US President Joe Biden but said there were "no obstacles" to resuming diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia. The hard-liner cleric won Friday's election in which more than half of voters stayed away after many political heavyweights were barred from running. *) Belarus opposition head hails 'powerful' joint sanctions The EU, US, UK and Canada have imposed coordinated sanctions on Belarus in response to “human rights violations” and “the violent repression of democracy”. It follows the forced landing of a passenger jet in Minsk last month to arrest opposition journalist Roman Protasevich. Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya said the sanctions sent a "powerful" signal to the regime of President Alexander Lukashenko. *) Taliban takes control of key Afghan district Taliban fighters have taken control of Imam Sahib, a key district in Afghanistan's northern Kunduz province and encircled the provincial capital. The Taliban's gains came as the Pentagon reaffirmed the US troop withdrawal was still on pace to conclude by early September. Dozens of districts have fallen to the Taliban since May 1, when US and NATO troops began their final departure from Afghanistan. And finally ... *) Argentina, Chile through to Copa America quarter-final Argentina and Chile have booked their places in the Copa America quarter-finals. Argentina logged its second win in three group matches played, beating Paraguay 1-0. In the other match, Chile drew 1-1 with Uruguay to end the day with five log points.

A few weeks ago, there was a ruckus around the world (mostly with the western press) when Belarus arrested a “dissident” Roman Protasevich. The US/EU was the first to concern troll about “freedom” and “human rights” when all purposes, he had participated in a fascist militia in Ukraine.However, in neighboring Lithuania, something much more sinister is going on. The entire country is controlled by a single family (Landbergis). They have been creating a myth of Lithuanian history that does not exist and part of this includes glorifying Nazis such as General Jonas Norieka. Today, Stanislav Thomas, a Jewish Lithuanian attorney, who has been litigating human rights cases since 2002 in the EU and the Un. He has been persecuted for breaking the statue of General Jonas Norieka speaks to us about the history of Lithuania and his plight.

The crackdown on dissent and reporting in Belarus goes on, and its authorities are keen to present their version of events to the world. At a recent press conference in Minsk, Jonah Fisher was presented with a dilemma when detained blogger and protester Roman Protasevich was brought out to speak to assembled journalists and diplomats. High in the Himalayas, Nepal is one of the world's poorest countries, with a weak and under-funded health system, particularly in rural areas. Rajini Vaidyanathan travelled there to report on the impact the pandemic is having on families across the country. Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman was one of the most infamous drug cartel heads in Mexico for years - though he's ended up jailed for life in a supermax prison in the USA. Tara McKelvey covered his trial in New York in 2019, where she saw one of his former mistresses give dramatic testimony - and met his wife in the courthouse cafeteria. Two years on, the two women's fortunes have very much reversed. Bukhara is one of the most renowned of the ancient cities along the ancient Silk Road linking China and the West - a storied place with millennia of artistic and intellectual history embedded in its mosques, madrasas and mausoleums. Sara Wheeler chose a more intimate kind of building to get a feel of its history. And Andrew Harding recalls moments on the road across Africa - from Libya to Liberia, Cote d'Ivoire to Zimbabwe - when it took a team to get the job done. While the joke goes that reporters get the credit and camera operators get the fun, what is the producer's lot? Some of them - like his colleague Becky Lipscombe, now leaving the BBC - really can make all the difference. Producer: Polly Hope

In light of an uptick in witch-hunting vigilantism in Papua New Guinea, Dane takes a moderate stance on anti-witchcraft laws, arguing that while extra-judicial killings are always wrong, it is acceptable to prosecute certain kinds of witchcraft. He also discusses the strange case of the Belarussian anti-government activist, Roman Protasevich, who prophesized his own capture by government forces in a dream. The episode ends rebutting science guy, Neil deGrasse Tyson's latest attack on the hypothesis that UFOs are extraterrestrials, in an article that recently appeared on CNN.com.

durée : 00:58:21 - Cultures Monde - par : Florian Delorme, Mélanie Chalandon, Antoine Dhulster - Depuis la réélection de Loukachenko, la répression du mouvement de contestation est violente. La diaspora se trouve tiraillée entre une volonté renforcée de s'opposer au régime, et la crainte de se voir rattrapée, comme Roman Protasevich. Les exilés biélorusses sont-ils en sécurité en Europe ? - réalisation : Vincent Abouchar, Benjamin Hû - invités : Olga Gille-Belova Maître de Conférences au Département d'Etudes Slaves de l'Université Michel de Montaigne Bordeaux 3.; Marielle Vitureau journaliste Pays Baltes à RFI.; Tetyana Ogarkova journaliste, responsable du départment international à l'Ukraine Crisis Media Center (UCMC).

Speaking after his first summit of Nato leaders since taking office, President Biden said he will lay down red lines to his Russian counterpart in their meeting on Wednesday, and acknowledged that he faced a tough opponent in Vladimir Putin. Also: Belarus parades the detained opposition journalist Roman Protasevich at a news conference in Minsk; and the American actor Ned Beatty - who appeared in Deliverance and Superman - dies at the age of 83.

In late May, Belarus forced a Ryanair plane to land in Minsk, the capital of Belarus. The plane was flying from Greece to Lithuania, but was in Belarusian airspace. Local forces cited a “bomb threat” as the reason for the stop. After hours in Minsk, officials arrested two passengers: Roman Protasevich, an exiled Belarusian journalist, and his girlfriend. After not being seen for weeks, Protasevich has reemerged on Belarusian state TV. Once an outspoken critic of the Belarusian regime, he changed his rhetoric. He apologized and said that Alexander Lukashenko, Belarus' dictator, is the valid leader. Many humans rights groups however found that Protasevich appeared to have been tortured and was being forced to make this statement. In this episode, Drew and Alex look into how shocking it is that a private airline can just be forced down a man can be taken, no questions asked. They can only imagine what ideas this is giving the world's dictators. Drew and Alex also talk about Belarus and its close ties to Russia. Alex Lukashenko, has met with Putin since the incident and seems emboldened by their alliance. Lukashenko doesn't believe in fair elections, especially after stealing an election last summer. The entrenched dictator is considered Europe's last dictator and he is also somewhat of a remnant of the Soviet era, the anniversary of the October Revolution of 1917 is still a national holiday, and he controls state owned factories and companies.

Our friend Natalia, a native of Belarus, joins us to discuss the latest events related to the arrest of dissident journalist Roman Protasevich and the political climate in Belarus generally. Listen and learn how wearing red or white or even speaking Belarussian is bad idea in Europe's last dictatorship. 

Last week Reuters broke a story that Turkey had used its veto power within NATO to water down an official condemnation of Belarusian strongman Alexander Lukashenko for forcing down a passenger plane flying from Greece to Lithuania to arrest Roman Protasevich, a dissident journalist that was on board. Lukashenko's actions drew criticism from around the world, and the EU introduced sanctions in response. Dr. Aykan Erdemir joins The Greek Current to discuss his latest piece explaining Turkey's decision, and argues that Turkish President Erdogan's move to protect Russia's Belarusian ally is the latest case of collusion between Ankara and Moscow to undermine NATO.Dr. Aykan Erdemir is the senior director of the Turkey program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former Turkish lawmaker. Read Aykan Erdemir's piece in The Globalist here: Turkey Undermines NATO, Yet AgainAnd his briefing for the FDD here: Erdogan Saves Putin's Belarusian Ally by Playing Spoiler Role Within NATOYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here: Turkey's persistent watering down of anti-Russian language leaves NATO in bindNations look to train at Cyprus security centerFM, US Ambassador visit CYCLOPS training facility construction siteAthens irked at being left out of Libya meetGermany to host second Libya peace talks

Conflicting theories about the origins of COVID-19 continue to make news, with U.S. politicians pushing for investigations into whether it originated from a lab in Wuhan, China.  This week on Middle Theory, we lead off with our observance of Memorial Day and related news, which includes an analysis of a dispute that erupted between Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Texas Senator Ted Cruz. We also look at shootings that occurred over the holiday weekend, and how a seven-year-old boy managed to save his family by swimming for an hour. Then getting to the heart of the discussion, while U.S. politicians continue to press for investigations into the possible origin of COVID-19 at a virology lab in Wuhan, China, some scientists have raised objections to variations of the lab theory. We look at these theories and weigh the possibilities in terms of what scientists have had to say about the matter in recent days.

On May 23, President Lukshenko used his air force and a false bomb threat to ground a civilian airliner in Minsk. Opposition journalist Roman Protasevich and his fiancé were removed from the flight and arrested. President Alexander Lukshenko is facing unprecedented international condemnation and opposition to his power as he continues his authoritarian rule and crackdown on all forms of dissent. TRT World current affairs journalist Natalie Poyhonen explains.

The recent detainment of journalist and activist Roman Protasevich by the Belarusian government has led to a wave of condemnation against the authoritarian Lukashenko regime.

Oitavo episódio e temos 4 temas para apresentar. Situação na Bielorrússia; Pedro Nuni Santos e a TAP contra o CEO da Ryanair; Convenção do MEL e Convenção do Chega, estes são os temas do Gabinete de Crise, o podcast do Polititank. Bielorrússia continua o mesmo de sempre e é mais um capítulo triste de Lukasheko e o povo bielorrusso continua a sofrer, mas em Portugal, tivemos a Lúcia Gomes, deputada do PCP a justificar o acto, pois segundo ela Roman Protasevich faz parte de uma rede muito perigosa de extrema-direita, procurámos e não encontrámos nada conclusivo. Pedro Nuno Santos continua fiel à TAP, o que o envolveu numa polémica com o CEO da Ryanair, que se "intrometeu" naquilo que o Governo de Portugal devia, ou não devia de fazer. Tal originou uma troca de palavras nas redes sociais, terminando com Pedro Nuno Santos a dizer que não recebe lições de ninguém. A Convenção do MEL é sempre um evento em que se originam polémicas, e existiram polémicas antes, durante e depois do mesmo. Antes com a birra da Maria Castelo Branco, que foi convidada em Fevereiro, mas no dia anterior à Convenção do MEL decide não ir, porque André Ventura seria Keynote speaker, tal como foi João Cotrim de Figueiredo, Rui Rio e Francisco Rodrigues dos Santos, mas esses já podiam falar sozinhos sem debate. Não se percebe... Nuno Palma inflamou com uma apresentação sobre os índices no Estado Novo e as deturpações da Esquerda. Paulo Portas parece ter dado o tiro de parida para ser Presidente da República, mudou de óculos e fez um discurso agregador. Por último, falamos da Convenção do Chega, que ao contrário das anteriores, não teve grandes momentos. Segue o Polititank nas nossas Redes Sociais.

Alexander Mercouris, editor-in-chief at theduran.com & host of "The Duran'' on YouTube, joins us to discuss "Spygate 2." Reports that the US National Security Agency enlisted the aid of Denmark's intelligence services to spy on German Chancellor Angela Merkel and potentially other European leaders is causing an uproar amongst US vassal states in Europe. Meanwhile, many observers are yawning at the reality that these nations have generally accepted their status as powerless clients of the US empire and are unlikely to do more than complain.Levi Rickert, editor and publisher of NativeNewsOnline.net, joins us to discuss the genocide against indegenous people in Canada. The bodies of over 200 children were found in Canada at a building that was used to strip them of their culture and indoctrinate them into European culture. Observers are using this as an opportunity to revisit the genocide and violence associated with Western imperialism. Mark Sleboda, Moscow-based international relations security analyst, joins us to discuss Belarus. The President of Belarus is talking about the Western attempt to overthrow his government, and is joining a chorus of international voices warning that NATO and the US empire are rapidly dragging the planet towards a third and potentially final world war. Also, Roman Protasevich, the man who was arrested in Belarus from a RyanAIr plane last week was wanted in connection with Ukrainian Nazi operatives, according to Russian foreign policy sources.Greg Palast, investigative reporter, joins us to discuss election issues in the US. A major political struggle has erupted in Texas as GOP politicians introduce a restrictive voting bill and Democrats walk out to halt the process. Also, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) argues that the Democrats must show equal resolve to push through legislation that the GOP opposes.Daniel Lazare, investigative journalist and author of "The Velvet Coup," joins us to discuss Israel. The landscape is shifting, as Washington, DC produced over 35,000 people at a rally on a rainy cold Memorial Day weekend. The leaders of the Democratic party are struggling to deal with a large group of major donors who support the Netanyahu Likud regime, while facing growing opposition in their major voting blocs.Ajamu Baraka, former VP Candidate for the Green Party, joins us to discuss Columbia and Brazil. Brazil is facing a major internal crisis, as the citizens are taking to the streets in large numbers to protest the neoliberal policies of Jair Bolsanaro. Bolsonaro and his US supporters are particularly concerned as the former left leaning leader Lula De Silva seems ready to make a comeback. Also, we discuss how Israel is influencing far-right wing politics in South America, and in particular, the US controlled government of Colombia. Margaret Kimberley, editor and senior columnist at Black Agenda Report and author of "Prejudential: Black America and the Presidents," joins us to discuss the militarism of the US empire. We discuss Caitlin Johnstone's article in which she pushes back against war propaganda and explains her concept of US foreign policy. Also, we talk about Jim Bovard's article about the run up to the invasion and occupation of Iraq.Laith Marouf, broadcaster and journalist based in Beirut, Lebanon, joins us to discuss Syria. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad won the Syrian election with 95.1% of the vote. As is normally the case with perceived adversaries, the US condemned the election as illegitimate before the voting process began. Also, does the end of the Syrian war mean that the war torn nation can return to its status as a power player in the region?

Amid a crackdown on journalists in Belarus and Russia and the dramatic abduction of Roman Protasevich, local independent reporters Alexey Kovalev and Hanna Liubakovajoin Bianna Golodryga, standing in for Christiane Amanpour, to discuss the importance of fighting for a free press. They say "enough is enough." Turning to the U.S., historian and author Carol Anderson talks about her new book "The Second," where she argues America's Second Amendment is inextricably linked to anti-Blackness. Then our Hari Sreenivasan speaks to clinical Psychologist Dr. Becky Kennedy – best known for her extremely popular Instagram page @drbeckyatgoodinside – about the mental health crisis facing kids today and lays out tangible tips for parents. And finally, Steven Johnson, author of "Extra Life: A Short History of Living Longer", explains why our life expectancy has doubled in the last century.

As Israeli politicians are in tasks to form a coalition that may oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Fareed talk to the New York Times' Tom Friedman about what that would mean – for Israel, for Palestinians, and for the 2-state solution.  Then he speaks to The Atlantic's Anne Applebaum and Belarusian reporter Hanna Liubakova about Belarus's "state sponsored hijacking" & subsequent arrest of dissident journalist Roman Protasevich. Then Michael Lewis dives into his new book "The Premonition," where he investigates why the world's wealthiest nation – the U.S. – bumbled its initial COVID-19 response so badly. And, lastly, Fareed looks at why the worldwide decline in birth rates could have potentially devastating consequences for rapidly aging populations.

Mannabein sem rak á land í Vopnafirði og fundust fyrsta apríl síðastliðinn eru af skipverja sem féll fyrir borð á fiskiskipinu Erling KE-140 í maí í fyrra. Mikill meirihluti vaktavinnufólks á Landspítalanum ætlar að auka við starfshlutfall sitt vegna styttingar vaktavinnu.
