We're taking a momentary break from “Who Does It Best?” to take a trip to Serbia with producer Wojciech Oleksiak. Wojciech was on the ground in Novi Sad last weekend to report from the massive demonstration marking the one-year anniversary of the tragic accident at the city's railway station.  And if you're not following this story, you should be. Much of what's happening in Serbia is a heartening example of how peaceful demonstrations can really move the needle, even in places where the political situation looks bleak. And Serbia's leadership has been following a playbook that is increasingly common across Europe and the rest of the world. Even if you don't live under an illiberal democracy…you might want to get familiar with how they take shape. If you're interested to hear more on this evolving story, check out our episode from earlier this year called “Is real change coming to Serbia?”  We'll be back with the final episode of “Who Does It Best?” on Friday. (Wojciech has had a busy week.)  This podcast was brought to you in cooperation with Euranet Plus, the leading radio network for EU news.

When Hurricane Melissa hit Jamaica as a category 5 storm, it tore through the country's agricultural center, demolishing crops and killing livestock. Now, as aid flows into the country, concerns are rising about the country's food security moving forward. Also, tens of thousands of people take to the streets in Serbia one year after a deadly railway station disaster killed 16 people, as victims' families still await accountability. And, Afghanistan is hit by a strong earthquake for the second time in two months. Plus, Japanese baseball pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto steals the show during Game 7 of the World Series in Toronto.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.

Stories of the undead tormenting the living supposedly entered the English-speaking world in 1732, with a report from the Hapsburg military of events in Serbia—events that would go on to inspire the most famous vampire of all, Dracula. But the count from Transylvania was neither the first undead man in England (British corpses went walking in 680, and again in 1090) nor the most emblematic of the folk tales that preceded him (that would be Carmilla, who embodies a type seen from China to the Eastern Roman Empire). In Killing the Dead: Vampire Epidemics from Mesopotamia to the New World, John Blair uses examples from the far-flung ancient world—a “vampire belt” stretching from Scandinavia and the North Sea through central and eastern Europe, western Russia, the Near East, India, and China to Indonesia—to make the case that “corpse-killing is mainstream and not marginal, therapeutic and not pathological.” The undead have seemingly always been with us, as has our need to kill them to exorcise our own anxieties. “Killing the dead is better than killing the living,” Blair writes. “Like other extreme rituals, it is depressing at the time but leaves people feeling good afterwards.”Go beyond the episode:John Blair's Killing the Dead: Vampire Epidemics from Mesopotamia to the New WorldListen to our interview about the modern vampire with Nick Groom, the Prof of Goth, and our conversation with Ronald Hutton about witch persecutions through the agesYou know we love horror—visit our episode page for a list of spookiest episodesTune in every (other) week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

DAH SAYS: "In today's world, we can oppose destruction and violence with the creation of meaning "The Economist Magazine's Intelligence Unit places, Serbia, and Singapore, among the 46 countries that are considered Flawed Democracies along with United States of America. As our three countries grow more alike in surprising ways, it felt like the right moment to revisit two powerful episodes featuring activist artists from Serbia and Singapore. First up is our 2022 Change the Story Change the World with conversation with Dijana Milosevic, the Director of Belgrade's Dah Teatar. Imagine mounting a guerrilla theater performance in a bombed-out city square, in the middle of war, while armed soldiers look on—and still holding on to your art, your convictions, and your humanity. That is the story of Dah Teatar, a theater collective from Belgrade that has survived war, sanctions, shifting regimes, and censorship—and kept creating powerful, justice-driven work.In this episode of ART IS CHANGE, we dive back into the history and present of Dah Teatar through a rich conversation with co‑founder Dijana Milošević. We revisit their 1992 This Babylonian Confusion street performance, and then catch up on how the company has restructured, relocated, responded to climate concerns, and carried forward their practice of “being with” communities. Along the way, Dijana shares stories of bus‑based public theater, performances among trees, and how art continues to navigate complexity, contradiction, and resistance in Serbia today.You'll hear:How Dah anchored themselves in relationship and material constraints during the war years, moving from classic theater into street performance in real time.The evolution of the company from ensemble-based actors to a more horizontal, administrative structure that can sustain creative risk.Their project Invisible City, performed inside buses, bringing stories rooted in neighborhood life to ordinary passengers—not just theatergoers.Their more recent project Dancing Trees, where trees become collaborators, audiences move into the forest, and performance becomes site, sound, memory, and activism.Reflections on censorship, environmental struggle, national narratives, cross‑community healing, and the role of artists in turbulent times.Tune in to follow Dah's journey across decades of upheaval and resilience—and be inspired by how a theater company, rooted in place and poetic defiance, continues to bridge divides between people and environment.Change the Story CollectionBe sure to check out our CHANGE THE STORY COLLECTION OF ARCHIVED EPISODES on: Justice Arts, Art & Healing, Cultural Organizing, Arts Ed./Children & Youth, Community Arts Training, Music for Change, Theater for Change, Change Making Media.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 036: Prince Filip of Serbia on Bitcoin Nation States, Hyperbitcoinization, TradFi Escape, Monarchy Revival & Serbia's 313M% Hyperinflation LessonsWhat happens when a prince trades asset management for Bitcoin nation-state adoption? In this conversation, Prince Filip of Serbia—heir to the throne and CSO at Jan3 (Samson Mow's Bitcoin-only firm)—walks us through pitching BTC reserves to emperors, presidents and central banks. From Top Down Japan's politicians and emperor to bottom up hyperbitcoinization via Aqua Wallet. Drawing from his TradFi days in quantitative equities, he exposes factor investing's FOMO trap—where sentiment and momentum crush fundamentals in a money-printing world. Bitcoin clarified monarchy for him: low-time preference rulers beat democracy's corruption cycles (shoutout Polybius). We unpack Serbia's 313,000,000% monthly hyperinflation that wiped life savings in days, Yugoslavia's fiat-fueled collapse, and revival whispers in Serbia, Romania and France. Price suppression by whales? Hyperbitcoinization breaks it. Monarchy + Bitcoin = stable governance. Plus Flag theory picks: Switzerland (no cap gains), UAE, Serbia rising.

Can you become fluent in Chinese without teachers, classes, or even Chinese speakers around you? For Serbian software engineer Marko Javoanovic, the answer is “yes” by focusing on “fluency now”.In this episode, Marko shares how he started learning Japanese out of a love for anime but quickly pivoted to Chinese when he realized there were far more Chinese people than Japanese in his hometown of Novi Sad, Serbia. What began as a curiosity turned into a disciplined daily habit that transformed not only his language skills but also his friendships and worldview.Marko dives into how he built real working fluency from scratch using English-language resources like Mandarin Companion, YoYo Chinese, and extensive listening and how that foundation led to translating live at a visa interview, making friends over baozi, and becoming part of his local Chinese community.His story includes:Why he stopped obsessing over flashcards and HSK levelsHow “fluency now” helped him understand without translatingWhy tones matter more than you think (like mixing up “food” with “video”)The emotional reward of using Chinese to truly connectThis episode is a roadmap for any Chinese learner, especially those going it alone.Links from the episode:Mandarin Companion Graded ReadersLittle Chinese Everywhere | YouTubeDo you have a story to share?

As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, the ways in which people, governments, and other entities engage with it morph right along with these generational changes. This is true for the current wave of protests sweeping the globe that got its start in countries from the Andes to the Himalayas. What ties these protests together are not only the demands for a better future, in each country's context, but also the marrying of A.I. with social media to mobilize at hyper-speed. From Nepal, to Madagascar, to Peru and beyond, people are jumping online to then organize and bring people to the streets in protest of the "nepo-babies", living standards, and a lack of a clear path to a better future. In this month's episode we speak with Dr. Janjira Sombatpoonsiri, a Research Fellow at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies, about the features of these protests, what ties them together, and what drives them to change. Looking at the issues of how social media can be used to organize or infiltrate, provide anonymity or easy tracking, and a open playground for manipulation and rage. These trends have all been supercharged over the past several years, as Artificial Intelligence has allowed protest movements and governments to amplify their own messages at the speed of thought, creating catchy graphics, videos, and re-post chains that brings the fight online. Dr. Janjira Sombatpoonsiri is a political scientist whose work sheds light on how people organize, resist, and find their voices under authoritarian pressure. Based at the Institute of Asian Studies at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand and as a Research Fellow with the German Institute for Global and Area Studies, she studies social movements, digital repression, and nonviolent activism across Southeast Asia. The author of Humor and Nonviolent Struggle in Serbia, Dr. Sombatpoonsiri brings a unique perspective on how creativity and courage shape movements for change in today's complex political landscape.

In this episode of WET – Waterpolo Expert Talk, host Andreas welcomes Andrija Prlainović, one of the greatest water polo players of his generation. A two-time Olympic champion, World and European champion, and long-time leader of the Serbian national team, Andrija reflects on the golden era of Serbian water polo and the mindset that fueled over a decade of dominance. He opens up about the mental and emotional side of elite competition — from handling Olympic pressure to building unity and trust within a world-class team. Andrija also looks back on his time alongside legendary teammates such as Filip Filipović and Duško Pijetlović, and shares memories of facing international rivals including Marc Politze, Marko Savić, and Hagen Stamm from Germany. Beyond the medals, Andrija discusses the importance of joy, creativity, and freedom in youth development and why great teams are built not just on talent — but on trust, balance, and shared purpose.

Why do we fear those who drink blood when our own faith commands us to do the same? In this final chapter of A Catholic's Guide to Monsters, we turn our attention to the vampire: not merely a monster, but a mirror of our deepest spiritual longings.Join us as we trace the vampire's roots from the blood-drinking spirits of antiquity (the Mesopotamian ekimmu, Greek lamia, Roman strigae) to the medieval saints of the The Golden Legend whose dead rose to confess rather than devour.Then we follow the chilling case of Arnold Paole (1722 Serbia), a village, an exhumation, and a corpse that would not lie still — and how this horror led the Benedictine scholar Dom Augustin Calmet to ask: what happens when truth becomes terror?

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Tim O'Hearn, author of the book Framed. Tim O'Hearn is a software engineer who works in quantitative finance. He is also an entrepreneur and freelance writer.   As a sports journalist, he covered the 2024 World Athletics Cross Country Championships in Belgrade, Serbia. As a prolific creator of user-generated content, he has written hundreds of book reviews and thousands of other entries such as restaurant reviews, product reviews, blog posts, and comments-section polemics.   Framed: A Villain's Perspective on Social Media is his first book.   In her book review, Carole O'Neill stated: I read this book with a notebook by my side. There was so much information I felt like I was taking a full semester course. Framed: A Villain's Perspective on Social Media was my daily tutorial and Tim O'Hearn was my professor.   He grew up with the internet using first, Myspace, then all the way thru Tiktok. And believes everything on the internet today can be traced back to Myspace. Because of that, O'Hearn feels he's experienced being a puppeteer as well as a puppet. Facebook surpassed Myspace between 2009 and 2012. During that period search interest in both “hits” and “web counter” dropped off steeply.   Although he thinks the content about social media is misleading, this book is the best offering of coverage on Social Media Marketing. His tutorial explains how social media platforms have the same complicated relationship with spam bots that the U.S. Postal Service has with junk mail.   Before you reach the thirty pages of footnotes, you will learn about the “dead internet theory;” how external participants use software to wield godlike influence in the digital world; how he was accused of using, “What if I told you that I could get you more Instagram followers,” as a pick-up line to impress women; and, so much more.   This book cannot be read in one sitting. Especially if you want to retain all the opinions he has to offer. So read it once or read it several times. But read it.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Tim O'Hearn Website: https://tjohearn.com, timohearn.beehiiv.com LinkedIn: @tohearn   Purchase Framed on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4g7tiZn Ebook: https://amzn.to/4m5c7sK   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Einar og Goran har begge en felles forkjærlighet for merkelige mikronasjoner og rare grenseområder, og setter dermed i gang en uformell føljetong om noen av disse spinnville stedene som har oppstått på kloden. Første steg på reisen er Liberland, en bitteliten jordlapp mellom Serbia og Kroatia, som har blitt et økonomisk fristed med kryptovaluta, digitale innbygger og (potensielt) verdens første rapnasjonalsang?

VOV1 - Cuối tuần qua, cơ quan biên phòng Ba Lan đã phát hiện một đường hầm để vượt biên cho những người di cư ở dưới biên giới Ba Lan và Belarus. Những đường hầm tương tự cũng đã được phát hiện trước đó ở biên giới Hungary và Serbia.

This week has reminded me why I love what I do. I have spoken with people from the US, China, Dubai, Bulgaria, and South Africa, and even discovered that one of this show's regular listeners had made the journey from the Netherlands to be here at GITEX Global. Over five sessions on the AI Stage, I have covered everything from autonomous cars to how AI could help the UN World Food Programme tackle hunger. We have explored how Serbia achieved tenfold growth through AI and how new tools can now verify misinformation simply by checking a video link. But beneath all the tech talk, what has stood out most to me is how technology connects people. In a world that often feels divided, it is refreshing to see how collaboration and shared curiosity can still bridge cultures and spark ideas. It is those moments, when technology brings people together, that remind me why this podcast exists. That spirit of connection is exactly what inspired my quick chat with Iancho Dimitrov from Living Homes, a company based in Dubai but shaped by global perspectives. Originally from Bulgaria, Iancho and his team are building what they call an “AI-native intelligent home,” a home that does not just automate switches but truly understands its inhabitants. From monitoring wellbeing and improving sleep to creating safe, supportive spaces for families across generations, Living Homes is redefining what it means to live smart. So while this conversation might be short, it captures something powerful. It is proof that innovation is not only about hardware or software, it is about empathy, understanding, and the shared drive to build a better way of living. In a week where the world gathered in one city to imagine the future, Iancho's vision is a reminder that technology works best when it feels human.

Few names in modern water polo shine as brightly as Andrija Prlainović. Born in Dubrovnik and raised in the intense rivalry of the Adriatic coast, he became one of the defining players of his generation. Over three decades in the pool, he collected nearly every possible title — Olympic gold, World and European Championships, club triumphs with Partizan Belgrade and Pro Recco, and countless lessons learned along the way. In this episode of the WET Podcast, Prlainović speaks with openness and reflection about his path — from a young boy watching local heroes to becoming one himself. What follows is not just the story of a champion, but of a man who believes that discipline, humility, and hard work are the true foundations of success.

iGaming Daily continues its conference tour, bringing you this episode live from SBC Summit Tblisi, Georgia. Host Charlie Horner, Ted Menmuir, and Martyn Elliott assess the potential of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) and Central Asian markets. The team discusses the region's innovative tech offer, the "upbeat mood" compared to Western Europe, and why major groups like Entain and Flutter are using M&A deals to acquire local "hero brands" to gain access to growing markets. They also dive into the regulatory evolution across CEE, including governance issues in Romania and new laws in Croatia and Serbia.Later in the episode, the focus shifts to the United Kingdom, analysing the uncertainty surrounding impending tax hikes in the budget. The co-hosts discuss threats by Evoke (potentially closing up to 200 William Hill shops) and Entain (hinting at diverting investment) away from the UK and into other markets. The team debates the government's handling of the prolonged situation, the effectiveness of the industry's "black market" lobbying argument, and the long-term impact on the UK sector.Host: Charlie HornerGuests: Martyn Elliott & Ted MenmuirProducer: James RossEditor: James RossiGaming Daily is also now on TikTok.

Historian and bookseller Edmund Goldrick on the hair-raising, forgotten tale of the escaped Australian prisoners of war who stumbled into another, hidden genocide, and tried to stop it.Early in the World War Two, Australian soldiers who had been captured by the Germans escaped by leaping from a moving train.They found themselves in unfamiliar territory, in the lands of Yugoslavia.The Australians on the run found themselves in the company of dangerous men, who planned to use the cover of war to commit genocide.One of the Australians fell in with a Serbian Royalist group, and when he discovered their leader's plans, he acted as a double agent in their ranks, determined to find a way to warn the Allies that their man in Serbia was determined to conduct mass murder.Anzac Guerillas is published by Hachette.Edmund will be giving a talk on Remembrance Day at the Goulburn Library, and again on Saturday, 6 December at Sydney's Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

El rover "Perseverance" de la NASA, desde la superficie de Marte, fotografió en la semana del 28 de septiembre al 4 de octubre de 2025 lo que podría ser el cometa 3I/ATLAS mientras viajaba a una velocidad de 200.000 kilómetros por hora. La imagen captada a través de la cámara de navegación derecha (Navcam) del rover es sorprendente ya que se puede ver al objeto con una forma alargada, sin la coma típica de los cometas. Eso unido al “apagón” informativo de la NASA en los últimos días ha provocado toda clase de especulaciones en la opinión pública. Con Israel Ampuero, doctor en Bioquímica y asesor científico del programa, analizamos de urgencia las últimas noticias sobre este tercer “visitante interestelar”. LA TORRE DE LAS CALAVERAS Y OTRAS LEYENDAS DE LOS BALCANES El Imperio otomano creaba estructuras de torres a partir de los cráneos de los combatientes rebeldes para provocar el terror entre sus oponentes. Esta noche hablaremos de una de estas macabras estructuras ubicada en Niš, Serbia, que fue construida después de la Batalla de Čegar en mayo de 1809, durante el primer levantamiento serbio y sobre la cual existen leyendas de fenómenos extraños. Lo mismo haremos con enclaves como las fortalezas de Niš, Petrovaradin y Kalemegdan, o los monasterios de Rila, Rabanika o Masanija, así como el puente de Skopie o los “Hamman” de Daut Pacha o Niš. Nos presentó los misterios, leyendas e historias de aparecidos de todos estos lugares de los Balcanes Joaquín Soto Aparicio, profesor de Biología y Geología que ha viajado recientemente a la zona y nos trae abundante material videográfico y documental de los mismos. EXTRAÑO FENÓMENO AÉREO SOBRE BUENOS AIRES En la noche del pasado 27 de septiembre, en Buenos Aires (Argentina) se produjo el avistamiento de unas extrañas luces en el cielo que pudieron ser grabadas por una testigo, que quedó sorprendida ante el curioso fenómeno luminoso que estaba observando entre las nubes. De la mano del investigador argentino Damián Pérez y con la intervención de la testigo y autora de la grabación, Silvana Cano, realizadora audiovisual e investigadora del fenómeno OVNI, pudimos conocer las grabaciones y los detalles del caso.

President Xi Jinping's keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women has drawn widespread acclaim from foreign participants and overseas experts, who welcomed his proposals as a pivotal step toward accelerating gender equality and women's empowerment worldwide.习近平主席在全球妇女峰会开幕式上发表的主旨演讲，得到了外国参会者及海外专家的广泛赞誉。他们认为，主席提出的倡议是在全球范围内加快性别平等与妇女赋权的关键一步。They said the convening of the meeting holds milestone significance, demonstrating China's global leadership in promoting and protecting human rights and development, and advancing women's status.他们表示，此次会议的召开具有里程碑意义，彰显了中国在促进和保护人权与发展、提升妇女地位方面的全球领导力。"Women play an important role in creating, promoting and carrying forward human civilization. And the international community has a shared responsibility to advance the cause of women," Xi emphasized in his address, calling for tangible actions.习近平在讲话中强调：“妇女是人类文明的创造者、推动者和传承者，推动妇女事业发展是国际社会的共同责任”，并呼吁采取切实行动。He made four proposals, calling for collective efforts to foster an enabling environment for women's growth, propel high-quality development for women, strengthen governance frameworks to protect women's rights and enhance global cooperation on gender equality.他提出四点倡议，呼吁各方共同努力，为妇女成长营造有利环境、推动妇女高质量发展、健全妇女权益保障治理体系、加强性别平等领域全球合作。Recalling the Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing 30 years ago, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations Amina J.Mohammed underscored the pioneering role of the Beijing conference, noting that it lit "a fire of possibility" for women worldwide. She said she is very glad to see China and other states "who have kept this flame alive".联合国常务副秘书长阿明娜・穆罕默德回顾了30年前在北京举行的第四次世界妇女大会，强调该会议具有开创性意义，为全球妇女点燃了“希望之火”。她表示，很高兴看到中国及其他国家“延续了这一火种”。Hosting a second historic conference in Beijing is a reminder of the shared responsibility to deliver on women's rights, she added.她补充道，在北京再次举办这一历史性会议，提醒着各方肩负着落实妇女权利的共同责任。The senior UN official commended Xi for "leading this Global Leaders' Meeting on Women and demonstrating his genuine commitment to the women's rights agenda".这位联合国高级官员赞扬习近平“牵头举办此次全球妇女峰会，并切实致力于推进妇女权利议程”。Anita Amorim, head of the International Labour Organization's Emerging and Special Partnerships Unit, said that in the context of South-South cooperation, women's empowerment offers a strategic lever for resilience and shared growth, while noting that the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women has served as both a celebration of progress and a critical point of reflection on the persistent gaps in women's rights and empowerment worldwide.国际劳工组织新兴与特别伙伴关系司负责人安妮塔・阿莫林表示，在南南合作背景下，妇女赋权是增强韧性与实现共同增长的战略抓手。她指出，全球妇女峰会既是对已有进展的肯定，也为反思全球妇女权利与赋权领域仍存在的差距提供了重要契机。Amorim said that as challenges including conflict, debt distress and a cost-of-living crisis have deepened inequalities, the meeting came at an essential time, focusing on women's advancement in the economy and advocating opportunities for both women and men.阿莫林称，冲突、债务困境、生活成本危机等挑战加剧了不平等，此次会议的召开恰逢其时，聚焦妇女经济赋权，并倡导为女性和男性创造平等机会。She said that over the years, the ILO has cooperated with China through South-South cooperation, bringing tangible benefits to countries in the Global South, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, in promoting employment, skills development and social protection, while promoting women's entrepreneurship and gender equality.她表示，多年来，国际劳工组织通过南南合作与中国开展合作，在促进就业、技能培训、社会保障等领域为全球南方国家（尤其是亚太地区国家）带来了切实利益，同时也推动了妇女创业与性别平等。Nahla Haidar El Addal, head of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, highly praised Xi's advocacy of supporting women in shouldering more responsibilities, engaging deeply in global governance and sharing the fruits of governance.联合国消除对妇女歧视委员会主席纳拉・海达高度评价习近平提出的支持妇女承担更多责任、深度参与全球治理、共享治理成果的主张。She pointed out that the key challenge in the current global governance system lies in the lack of coordinated, unified, clear and well-defined rules and a procedural framework, which makes it difficult for countries to form synergy in their actions. Therefore, she stressed that building international consensus and improving governance rules are of critical importance.她指出，当前全球治理体系面临的核心挑战在于缺乏协调统一、清晰明确的规则与程序框架，导致各国难以形成行动合力。因此，她强调，凝聚国际共识、完善治理规则至关重要。Russel Harland, deputy branch secretary and international relations officer of the Surrey County branch of UNISON, one of the largest trade unions in the United Kingdom, said he believes that China is giving vital impetus to the fight against gender inequality by embedding the shared responsibility to advance women's development, such as urging tangible and accessible policies to channel more quality health and educational resources to all women.英国最大工会之一“公共与商业服务工会” 萨里郡分会副秘书长兼国际关系官员拉塞尔・哈兰德（音译）表示，他认为中国正通过落实推动妇女发展的共同责任，为消除性别不平等注入重要动力，例如推动制定切实可行的政策，向全体妇女倾斜更多优质医疗与教育资源。He noted that Xi's invigorating words are in line with China's Global Development Initiative, which calls for staying committed to development as a priority.他指出，习近平主席振奋人心的讲话与中国提出的全球发展倡议一脉相承，该倡议强调坚持以发展为优先事项。President Pro Tempore of the Liberian Senate Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence said, "China's commitment of $10 million to UN Women is highly significant for African nations, many of which are already partnering with the international organization to empower women.利比里亚参议院临时议长扬布利・康加・劳伦斯表示：“中国向联合国妇女署承诺提供1000万美元资金，这对非洲国家意义重大——许多非洲国家已在与该国际组织合作推进妇女赋权”。"We look forward to this partnership and hope that small countries, in particular, will benefit from it," she added.她补充道：“我们期待这一合作能带来实效，尤其希望小国能从中受益”。Marija Petrovic, a journalist from Serbia who covered the event, voiced her strong support for Xi's emphasis on improving girls' and women's rights in education.报道此次会议的塞尔维亚记者玛丽娅・彼得罗维奇表示，她坚决支持习近平关于改善女童与妇女教育权利的主张。She said it is essential for girls to have education and their own money, as independence grants them the freedom to make their own choices.她认为，女童接受教育、拥有独立收入至关重要，因为经济独立能让她们获得自主做选择的自由。pivotaladj.关键的，核心的/ˈpɪvətl/empowermentn.赋权，增权/ɪmˈpaʊəmənt/tangibleadj.切实的，具体的；可触摸的/ˈtændʒəbl/synergyn.协同作用，合力/ˈsɪnədʒi/

Donald Trump has pulled off one of the greatest feats of his presidency by securing a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas—just nine months into his return to the presidency. From Iran and Israel to Ethiopia and Egypt, Kosovo and Serbia, and Pakistan and India, Trump approaches foreign policy through direct negotiation, economic leverage, and personal diplomacy. Victor Davis Hanson explores why this model succeeded where others failed, and how it could soon shape Trump's approach to Ukraine on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words." “Why is this happening now, though? It didn't happen under Biden, a settlement in the Middle East. It did not happen under Trump's first administration. It did not happen under Obama. It did not happen under George Bush. There were about 10 things that had to happen. All these intricate pieces in this puzzle, the pieces of the peace, all fell into success in a way that made it possible. What were they? “Donald Trump created personal relationships in the Arab community. He did not insult the Saudis, as Joe Biden had done during the 2020 campaigns. He did not alienate the Arab community. He did not alienate Benjamin Netanyahu. He gave them concessions. He praised them. He created personal relationships. He did trade deals. He used tariffs as carrot and a stick, pressures and leverages.”

The people of Kosova went to the polls on Sunday as the country held municipal elections. Though the war Serbia waged on Kosova was ended over 25 years ago by decisive NATO involvement, tensions remain between the majority ethnic Albanians and minority ethnic Serbs. Joining Pat to discuss the situation in Kosova is former British army officer and the founder and CEO of Henderson Risk Group, Duncan Bullivant.

The first round of local elections in Kosovo are taking place on Sunday, October 12. Kosovo still lacks a functioning government since its legislative elections back in February.
