Tappa zurighese per il primogenito del presidente Trump. Ieri, giovedì 4 giugno, Donald junior è stato ospite nella centralissima “Zunfthaus zum Saffran”, la lussuosa sede della “Corporazione dello zafferano” per un incontro a porte chiuse tra uomini d'affari, voluto dalla “Davos Lodge”, una piattaforma che ruota attorno al WEF di Davos e che organizza eventi per i maggiori leader mondiali, come si può leggere sul suo sito. A due passi dalla Limmat, Donald junior terrà un discorso, a quanto pare incentrato sulle tante sfide geopolitiche del momento. Ma darà anche uno sguardo all'andamento dell'economia mondiale. Un'occasione per Modem di parlare dell'impero finanziario della famiglia Trump, che ruota attorno ad oltre 500 società attive negli ambiti più disparati. I due figli maggiori del presidente gestiscono la “Trump organization”, la società che sta alla testa di tutto questa estesa ramificazione societaria, con un'attenzione particolare all'intelligenza artificiale e alle criptomonete. Secondo Forbes e Bloomberg la ricchezza di Trump è passata da 2 a 6 miliardi da quando The Donald è tornato alla Casa Bianca, ormai 18 mesi fa. Una ricchezza che coinvolge anche la famiglia, basti dire che sua figlia Ivanka e il marito Jared Kushner hanno messo gli occhi su un'isola albanese, per costruirvi un'imponente struttura alberghiera d'alto rango. Un progetto che in questi giorni ha spinto alcune migliaia di persone a manifestare nelle strade della capitale Tirana, per protestare contro questa privatizzazione del suolo nazionale albanese.Del regno e dei dollari dei Trump discuteremo con:

Saffran unpack the seismic shifts reshaping global geopolitics and society in late March 2026. Former Trump loyalist and decorated veteran Joe Kent dramatically resigns as U.S. National Counterterrorism Chief, publicly blasting the administration's war with Iran as unnecessary and driven by external pressures. Meanwhile, the U.S.–Iran conflict enters a dangerous new phase with ongoing strikes, Houthi involvement, and mounting diplomatic maneuvers. Trade tensions flare as Malaysia becomes the first nation to cancel its reciprocal tariff deal with the Trump administration following a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling. Across Asia, the war's fallout triggers severe fuel shortages, forcing countries like the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam into emergency measures, rationing, and energy austerity reminiscent of the pandemic. Closer to home in Europe, a heartbreaking story unfolds as 25-year-old Spanish woman Noelia Castillo dies by legal euthanasia on March 26 after a protracted court battle with her family, reigniting debates over assisted dying, personal autonomy, and state responsibility. Tune in for sharp analysis on how these interconnected crises are testing alliances, economies, and ethical boundaries worldwide."Russia Is Gaining from the U.S.–Iran War"

Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei (appointed in early March 2026 following his father's assassination), issued his first defiant statement vowing to keep the strait blocked, ramp up attacks on U.S. bases, and open new fronts. A major controversy surrounds a U.S. Tomahawk missile strike near an Iranian girls' school in Minab on February 28, which killed around 175 people (mostly children) due to a reported targeting error on an adjacent IRGC facility, contradicting initial U.S. claims.

Saffran dives into a whirlwind of explosive global developments shaking the world right now. We break down the recently released videos of Bill and Hillary Clinton's depositions before the House Oversight Committee, where the former president and secretary of state faced intense questioning over their past ties to Jeffrey Epstein, denying any wrongdoing amid renewed scrutiny. We also examine reports that the CIA is actively planning to arm Kurdish opposition forces in a bid to spark an internal uprising against the Iranian regime, adding fuel to already raging tensions. Domestically, President Trump has just fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem amid mounting frustrations over her leadership on immigration and other issues, signaling major Cabinet shake-ups. At the center of it all is the escalating Iran-USA conflict, now a full-scale U.S.-Israeli military campaign that has dramatically culminated in a devastating airstrike killing Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—marking one of the most seismic events in decades and thrusting the Middle East toward even greater uncertainty.“US and Israel attacks Iran”

Newly released Epstein files (January 2026) mention figures like Elon Musk (email exchanges), Bill Gates, Donald Trump (tips without evidence of wrongdoing), Howard Lutnick, Richard Branson, and others in social or correspondence ties, but no new charges emerged from the millions of pages. A brief partial U.S. government shutdown ended quickly in early February 2026 after Congress passed and Trump signed a $1.2 trillion package funding most agencies through September, with a short-term extension for Homeland Security amid immigration debates. Conservative Laura Fernández won Costa Rica's presidency decisively, continuing the region's rightward shift with tough-on-crime and pro-U.S. policies.

Economic jitters mount as U.S. consumer confidence craters to a 12-year low of 84.5 (Conference Board index), the weakest since 2014 amid job fears and high costs. Globally, Trump has pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement (again) and the WHO, while a blockbuster India-EU trade deal—the "mother of all deals"—unlocks a $27 trillion market for nearly 2 billion people. Diplomatic momentum builds with trilateral U.S.-Russia-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi yielding progress toward a potential ceasefire (more rounds ahead), even as Trump intensifies pressure on Iran via fresh sanctions, military buildups, and blunt threats to force a new nuclear deal. A whirlwind of domestic division and bold foreign pivots defines the moment."U.S. Consumer Confidence Plunges to 12-Year Low"
Saffran discusses about the DOJ launches criminal probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell over his renovation testimony, supercharging the fight over Fed independence as Trump pushes for big rate cuts; JPMorgan now sees zero Fed cuts in 2026 and maybe even a hike in 2027; financial stocks tank after Trump revives his 10% credit-card rate cap plan; DHS pours $115M into counter-drone tech for the 2026 World Cup; Trump threatens 25% tariffs on any nation still trading with Iran amid deadly protests and nationwide internet blackout; U.S. speeds up exit from 60+ UN climate & science pacts; and ex-Tory Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi defects to Reform UK—watch for the full market, geopolitical, and political fallout right now."Iran Invasion Would Devastate the US Economy"

Mathistorikern Richard Tellström och kocken Malin Söderström samtalar med oss om julbordets utveckling. Vilka rätter försvinner? Och vilka nya dyker upp? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Malin Söderström driver bl a restaurangen på Moderna Museet i Stockholm och har arbetat som kock sedan slutet på 80-talet. När hon började var det mycket av allt på julborden.– Idag handlar det mer om att ha det bästa, istället för det mesta. Dagens julbord har också blivit grönare.Inför varje julbordspremiär tar man ställning till vad som ska vara med, vad som ska ändras eller kanske till och med plockas bort.Den första stora förändringen av julbordet kom i början av 1900-talet när allmogens slakt-julbord korsar sig med borgerlighetens smörgåsbord.Den andra stora förändringen var på 1970-talet.– Då lämnar man ett julbord med flera olika rätter och allt slås ihop till en sorts buffé, allt på ett enda bord, säger Richard Tellström.Men han påpekar att julbordet inte är en buffé, eftersom saker och ting ska ätas i en speciell ordning.Det mesta hamnade på vårt julbord under 1900-talet, med några undantag, som lutfisken från medeltiden och de tjocka revbensspjällen som går minst 1000 år tillbaka.Nutida fenomen är ständigt nya sillinläggningar och grönkålssallad. Saffran har blivit populärt på 2000-talet.Julskinkan har funnits med på julbordet i cirka 150 år. De senaste 15 åren har den dock fallit på popularitetslistan.– Den håller på att konkurreras ut av Janssons frestelse, säger Richard. Kanske kommer Jansson att passera julskinka inom fem år.Lutfisken backar också.– Det är få som äter lutfisk, säger Malin Söderström. Men de är väldigt glada när den finns med.– Julbordet är den minst föränderliga måltiden i vår matkultur, säger Richard Tellström. Det är extremt stabilt till skillnad från vardagsmaten. Men det är i förändring.

A contrails study by GE Aviation and NASA, an F-15E Strike Eagle downs drones, Iberia's new A321XLR in service, the Phillippine Mars moves to its final destination, an airliner and a UAP come close together, Spirit Airlines files for bankruptcy, and the environmental impact of private jets. Also, AvGeeks flock to Bluesky, a STEM author at the NASM, and F-35B trials on a Japanese flattop. The contrails of an Airbus A340 jet, over London, England. Photographed by Adrian Pingstone in March 2007. Aviation News GE and NASA to accelerate understanding of contrails The "Contrail Optical Depth Experiment" (CODEX) is a research project conducted through a NASA and GE Aerospace partnership to study the formation and behavior of contrails. Contrails are clouds of ice particles that airplanes can create when they fly through cold and humid air. Persistent contrails are thought to contribute to climate warming. The primary goal of CODEX is to accurately measure the optical depth of contrails, which indicates how much light is blocked by the contrail. In the project, a GE Boeing 747-400 creates the contrails and NASA's G-III research aircraft (a modified Gulfstream III business jet) follows and scans the 747's wake with Advanced LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to analyze the contrails produced by different engine configurations. This will hopefully lead to the development of engine technologies that reduce contrail formation. NASA Gulfstream G-III NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, operates the Gulfstream G-III aircraft, NASA tail number 804, as an aerodynamics research test bed. Work with the aircraft is funded through NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) as part of the Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) project under the agency's Integrated Systems Research Program. GE 747-400 Flying Test Bed Since 2010, this former Japan Airlines plane has been used by GE to test new jet engines, such as the GE90, GEnx, LEAP, and the GE9X. The plane is based at Flight Test Operations (FTO) in Victorville. F-15E Pilot Recounts Having To Switch To Guns After Missiles Ran Dry During Iranian Drone Barrage An F-15E Strike Eagle shot down so many Iranian drones aimed at Israel that they ran out of air-to-air missiles. The crew was ordered to continue and use any weapon available, which left the Strike Eagle's 20mm Gatling Gun, capable of firing around 6,000 rounds per minute. Operating this gun is said to be risky with small, low, slow-moving targets. In this instance, the F-15 did not stop the drone. Feel Sorry For the Flight Attendants: Iberia's New A321XLR Long-Haul Jet Features Tiny Galleys That Even Contortionists Would Struggle to Work in Iberia is the launch customer of the Airbus A321XLR (extra long range) single-aisle jet. The airline is flying the plane on a Madrid and Boston route. According to Saffran, the Airbus SpaceFlex V2 galley and lavatory allows for 6 more seats in the A321. The Airbus Space-Flex galley and lavatory concept. Airbus says the A321XLR features a 4,700 nm range, 180-220 seats, and 30% lower fuel burn per seat than previous generation aircraft. The plane was launched in 2019 at the Paris Air Show. Compared to other A320 family aircraft, the A321XLR carries more fuel, has strengthened landing gear, and includes a revised wing trailing-edge flap for takeoff performance. Airbus offers two engine options: the CFM LEAP-1A and the Pratt & Whitney PW1100G. The first A321XLR was delivered to Iberia on 30 October 2024 and conducted its first revenue flight on 6 November 2024. The first long-haul flight with passengers was on 14 November 2024, from Madrid to Boston.

With San Diego-based Equip, Kristina Saffran and Erin Parks have convinced health insurers from UnitedHealthcare to Aetna to pay for research-backed treatment for thousands of patients struggling with eating disorders. A decade after recovering from anorexia, Saffran started a company to help make this same type of therapy more accessible by offering a single online portal through which families can treat and manage a child's eating disorder. Equip also offers wraparound services that aren't always offered alongside in-person therapy, with the full care team including a therapist, medical doctor, dietician and peer and parent mentors. Equip's virtual therapy is so powerful because of a shortage of specialized therapists and in-person clinics, said Saffran's cofounder Erin Parks, 44, a clinical psychologist who previously worked at the UC San Diego Eating Disorder Clinic.
