Proclus was the uncle of Hilarius; both were from Kallippi in Asia during the reign of Trajan. When Proclus was brought to be tried as a Christian, the judge asked him 'Of what race are you?' Proclus answered 'I am of the race of Christ, and my hope is in my God.' When the judge threatened to torture him, he said 'When you are afraid to transgress the Emperor's commands and risk falling into temporal punishment, how much more do we Christians fear to transgress against God's commands and fall into eternal torment!' When Proclus was given over to torture, his nephew Hilarius came forward and proclaimed 'I too am a Christian.' After torture, both were condemned to death; Proclus was crucified and Hilarius beheaded.   Imagine how the Orthodox Church would benefit if, when we were asked 'Of what race are you?' the first answer that came to mind was not 'I am Greek, Russian, Serbian...' but 'I am of the race of Christ!'

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.The rules for law and order create the boundaries for civil co-existence and, ideally, the backdrops for individuals, families, and companies to grow and thrive. Breaking these rules puts civil order at risk. And while murder is the Big Daddy of crimes, codified ordinances across municipal divisions, counties, states, and countries show the nearly endless ways there are to create mayhem. This season, we put our detective skills to the test. This is Season 8, Anything but Murder. This is Episode 13, race fixing is the featured murderless crime. This is The Butterfly Stroke Effect by Ken HarrisDELIBERATIONSally Bones DeLuca is convinced the arrest of a swimmer was really a strike at him. He has a few tigers by the tail but he's still not sure which one set him up to fall. Let's see what we can do to help him get back on the Don's good side. Here are the suspects he's considered in the order of appearance:Harper Underhill, the American swimmer busted for magic mushroomsFedir Belinsky, head of the Russian mobTony Accardo, Sally's right hand manVladya “Swiss” Zinczenko, unretired Russian mob associateAirport staff member, Serbian baggage handler claims to have bet big against Underhill.Here are the facts as Sally Bones has pieced them together:Sally's operation was making good book on the women's Olympic butterfly event. The favorite was American Harper Underhill. Underhill did not fly commercial with the rest of the team. She traveled to from Philadelphia to Paris on a private charter and was arrested when she disembarked for transporting banned substances. Sally Bones and his crew were not aware of the development and continued taking bets for the underdog Russian swimmer Tatiana Popova. With her main competition out, Popova won and now the Don and Sally have to pay out.The Italian and Russian mobs are always going head-to-head. Sally suspects the Russian set Underhill up to financially hit Don Caccamo's operation through the sports book business.Swiss Zinczenko tells Sally it wasn't the Russians and to look in his own house. While Sally trusts Swiss, he thinks the Russian's have the strongest motive.Because of Swiss's suggestion, Sally notices that is right-hand man Tony Accardo maybe has a little more than he should…like an expensive new car. With Sally's demotion, Accardo has the chance to get in tighter with the boss.An interview on TV turns Sally on to a baggage handler at the airport who worked Underhill's chartered flight. The man complained about Underhill's treatment of the staff and just might have had a reason to take her down.Since Agent Price is on the job, we know a few things Sally doesn't: Swiss Zinczenko is coming out of retirement and he's looking to do it big. Hurting Caccamo's business would be a step in the right direction.Price's task force partner, TSA agent Juanita Navar, is caught in an explosion aimed at Sally. Navar rambled about horse race betting and Sally Bones, including threats, pointing, and blame.Who does Sally Bones really have to blame for his financial ruin and demotion?ABOUT Race FixingGoogle search on “race fixing” and you find a lot of horse stories. From History.com comes 10 famous horse fixing scandals. Yes, there is the basic “take bribes to slow a horse”, although the scale of Anthony “Big Tony” Ciulla's bribe scheme in the early 1970s was truly impressive (every state except CA.) Let's

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on continued clashes in Serbia between police and anti-government protesters.

Serbia is home to a large Russian and Belarusian community, which has increased in number since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. But the small Balkan country was already a popular destination for Russians and Belarusians looking to move abroad. Among this older population of Russian and Belarusian immigrants, those who want to adopt Serbian nationality have been facing administrative difficulties for the past two years, resulting in them becoming stateless. FRANCE 24's Laurent Rouy, Aleksandar Cvrkotic, Edward Godsell and Paul Murray report.

URBONUS co-hosts Donatas Urbonas and Gytis Blazevicius dive into a heated debate on which Serbian team—Partizan or Crvena Zvezda—made the better move by signing star forwards Jabari Parker and Chima Moneke. They also break down Nigel Hayes-Davis' departure from Fenerbahce Istanbul and his surprising 1-year deal with the Phoenix Suns.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: From Chaos to Command: Luka's Unexpected Leadership Leap Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2025-06-29-22-34-02-sr Story Transcript:Sr: Лука је седео за својим столом у светлој и проветреном канцеларијском простору, покушавајући да се сконцентрише на гомилу извештаја.En: Luka was sitting at his desk in a bright and airy office space, trying to concentrate on a pile of reports.Sr: Био је дан "Доведите своје љубимце на посао" и којекакве животиње су пратиле своје власнике у корпорацијски свет пун стаклених састанкаоница и модерног намештаја.En: It was "Bring Your Pet to Work" day, and all sorts of animals accompanied their owners into the corporate world full of glass meeting rooms and modern furniture.Sr: Мила је, као и обично, стигла прва са својим псом Рексом.En: Mila was, as usual, the first to arrive with her dog Rex.Sr: Овај огроман крзнени сноп енергије је увек био у покрету, лајао би на сваку особу која је промицала и весело машући репом, правио би врло мало простора за рад.En: This massive furry bundle of energy was always in motion, barking at every person passing by and cheerfully wagging his tail, leaving very little room for work.Sr: "Лука, види Рекса! Он само жели да се игра!", рекла је Мила с осмехом на лицу.En: "Look, Luka, see Rex! He just wants to play!" Mila said with a smile on her face.Sr: Међутим, Лука је имао озбиљан задатак — да импонује Мили својим вештинама и да избегне сусрет с Драгановим мачком, Вискерсом.En: However, Luka had a serious task — to impress Mila with his skills and avoid an encounter with Dragan's cat, Viskers.Sr: Драган, иначе човек за техничке ствари, довео је Вискерса, али то нису биле добре вести за Луку.En: Dragan, who was the tech guy, brought Viskers, but this was not good news for Luka.Sr: Он није волео мачке, а Вискерс је имао навику да неометано упадне у сваку просторију.En: He did not like cats, and Viskers had a habit of unannounced appearances in every room.Sr: Током преподнева, Рекс је, у својој игри, успео да запетља све каблове у предсобљу, стварајући хаос без премца.En: During the morning, Rex, in his playfulness, managed to tangle all the cables in the foyer, creating unmatched chaos.Sr: Вискерс је, узнемирен галамом, успео да се увуче у сервер собу и попео се на највишу полицу.En: Viskers, disturbed by the commotion, managed to sneak into the server room and climbed to the highest shelf.Sr: „Аууу, Лука, можеш ли помоћи?“, запита Мила која се борила да обузда Рекса.En: "Auuu, Luka, can you help?" Mila asked, struggling to restrain Rex.Sr: Лука је знао да је ово тренутак када мора да се докаже.En: Luka knew this was the moment he had to prove himself.Sr: Сабравши храброст, кренуо је ка сервер соби.En: Gathering his courage, he headed toward the server room.Sr: Вискерс је седео на полици, посматрао све око себе као да је господар света.En: Viskers was sitting on the shelf, observing everything around him as if he were the lord of the world.Sr: Лука, с погибељном решеношћу, попео се на столицу и пажљиво пружио руку ка мачки.En: Luka, with deadly determination, climbed onto a chair and carefully reached out to the cat.Sr: „Добар Вискерс, полако...“ говорио је, и на чудо, Вискерс му је дозволио да га узме у наручје.En: "Good Viskers, slowly..." he said, and miraculously, Viskers allowed him to pick him up.Sr: Дрхам тамо-где-не-би-требало, Рекс је одједном престао да лаје и прилазио иза Луке, машући репом.En: Causing trouble where he shouldn't, Rex suddenly stopped barking and approached behind Luka, wagging his tail.Sr: Лука је спустио Вискерса на под и Рекс и мачка су чудом постали једно од ретких партнерских парова у канцеларији.En: Luka put Viskers on the floor, and to everyone's amazement, the dog and the cat became one of the rare partner pairs in the office.Sr: Тог дана, када је хаос престао, Мила је похвалила Луку за његову оданост и храброст.En: That day, when the chaos ceased, Mila praised Luka for his dedication and bravery.Sr: Лука је с осмехом не више само преживео радни дан, већ је доказао да може да реагује и у најнеочекиванијим ситуацијама.En: With a smile, Luka not only survived the workday but proved that he could respond in the most unexpected situations.Sr: Научио је да се не треба бојати неочекиваног и стекао је нови осећај самопоуздања.En: He learned not to fear the unexpected and gained a new sense of confidence.Sr: Његови колеге, као и Мила, сада су га гледали с новим поштовањем.En: His colleagues, as well as Mila, now looked at him with new respect.Sr: Лука више није само млади аналитичар, већ лидер у настајању, који је избавио канцеларију од правог зверињака.En: Luka was no longer just a young analyst, but a leader in the making, who saved the office from a real menagerie.

For some reason, Ethan doesn't go through the next open door. Instead, he goes to free someone and take him with him and Benji and very confused. But it works. They get to the room, the floor explodes and they escape.  Ethan knew that dude was his informer would be tortured and killed, so he rescued him and granted him his freedom. Jane is new and she tells Ethan that guy at the beginning of the movie was Agent Hanaway and he was killed while intercepting a routine courier drop. The courier was carrying Russian nuclear launch codes & these were now in the hands of the assassin that killed him. Hunt knows that IMF has been looking for an extremist, code name Cobalt. Cobalt is known to have a nuclear device and with the theft of the launch codes, his identity is now top priority for the IMF.  Cobalt was a nuclear strategist for Russian intelligence. So Ethan has to go to Russia to break into the secret Kremlin archives and locate files identifying Cobalt. Easy right? Well apparently Cobalt is already on his way to the Kremlin, which gives Ethan 5 hours to complete his mission. This mission is going great but when he gets to the archives, he finds out that what he needs is already missing. Then someone taps into the IMF frequency and their cover is blown. So Ethan aborts the mission. Suddenly, a bomb destroys the Kremlin which knocks Ethan out and he awkes up in a Russian hospital. He finds out that he is now a wanted man, so he has to escape.  The IMF picks Ethan up and catch him up to speed but their vehicle is attacked. One dude dies but another dude named William Brandt survives with Ethan. He finds out that the Russians have called the attack an undeclared act of war and the US president activates "Ghost Protocol",  which disavows the entire IMF.  Based on Ethan's description of who he saw in the Kremlin with a briefcase, they identifies Cobalt as Kurt Hendricks. They believe Hendricks bombed the Kremlin and got the Russian nuclear launch-control device, and now needs its codes from the Dubai. So off to Dubai they go! Ethan has to hack the server room. Obviously the only way to do that is from the outside with him using these special gloves hundreds of stories in the air. The plan is to make Wistrom, who is there on Hendricks behalf, believe he is getting the real codes, which are actually from Ethan and Brandt who are with the actual real codes in another room acting like they're the buyers. It's a whole thing. The plan is going great until the code women realizes that Brandt is taking pictures with his eyes. Wistom is getting away, so Ethan chases him into a sand storm. Turns out, Wistom is just Hendricks in a mask and he gets away! This is bad news.  The team is all mad at each other. Hendricks got away and Jane accidentally kicked the seller out of a window. Whoops. It's at this point that Ethan accuses Brandt of keeping secrets from them because his fighting skills show that he's not just an analyst. Brandt admits he used to be an agent on the field. He was actually security detail to Ethan and his wife Julia. Julia was killed by a Serbian hit squad, prompting Ethan to pursue and kill them before he was caught by the Russians and sent to prison, where he was at the beginning of the movie. Brandt blames himself and never wanted to be out on the field again.  They get word on where Henricks is going to be next. So off to Mumbai they go. They go to a party being thrown by Indian telecommunications guru. They believe he has struck a deal with Henricks and that he's going to use his sattelite. So Brandt breaks into the server room to take the satellite offline while Jane gets hot shot tech guy to reveal the satellite override code.  But Hendricks takes the servers offline before they can finish the plan. He fires a nuclear missile on San Francisco from a Russian submarine which would look like retaliation for the Kremlim bombing. The only way to stop the missile is via the abort sequence on the launch device that Hendricks is carrying. Hunt pursues Hendricks and the launch device while the other team-members attempt to bring the broadcast station back online so that the abort command will transmit. Hunt and Hendricks fight over the launch-control and he's able to hit the button and the power turns back on with 1 second to spare. No Nuclear war today! Plus, the IMF is proved innocent.  The team comes together to celebrate and he gives them all a new mission. Brandt refuses at first until Ethan explains that Julia isn't actually dead, it was all a cover, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Off to the next mission they go. 

"He was one of the greatest men of Serbia who ruled the kingdom after king Dušan. Upon the death of King Uroš, Lazar was crowned King of Serbia by Patriarch Ephraim. He sent a delegation to Constantinople, including a monk called Isaiah, to plead for the removing of the anathema from the Serbian people. He went to war on several occasions against the Turkish Pasha, finally clashing with the Turkish king, Amurât, at Kosovo on June 15, 1389, being slain there. His body was taken to Ravanica near Cupria, a foundation of his, and buried there, but was later taken to New Ravanica in Srem. During the Second World War, in 1942, it was taken to Belgrade and placed in the Cathedral, where it is preserved to this day and offers comfort and healing to all who turn to him in prayer. He restored Hilandar and Gornjak, built Ravanica and the Lazarica in Kruševac and was the founder of St Panteleimon, the Russian monastery on the Holy Mountain, as well as numerous other churches and monasteries."

Forest leading the race for Serbian Striker Dušan Vlahović! Win a Forest Team Signed Shirt! Only 99p!: https://footballprizes.co.uk/product/forest-bundle/ Join Wolfie on Forest Fan TV for a breaking transfer update as Nottingham Forest emerge as frontrunners to sign Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović! Fresh reports from Teamtalk today reveal the Serbian forward, with just one year left on his contract, is keen on a Premier League move this summer and appears set to leave Juventus. Valued for his physical presence and goal-scoring prowess—14 goals in 39 appearances this season—Vlahović sees Forest as the most attractive option, edging out interest from Manchester United and AC Milan, thanks to the Reds' European qualification and ambitious project under Nuno Espírito Santo. The transfer buzz is fuelled by Vlahović's contract situation, making him a potential bargain with Juventus reportedly open to a £25m deal, a steal for a player of his calibre who was once valued at £70m. With Forest's attacking options needing a boost ahead of their Europa Conference League campaign, Wolfie dissects whether this towering striker could be the missing piece, especially after Chris Wood's solid but aging output. Despite competition from Man Utd, who are seeking a Hojlund upgrade, and AC Milan, Forest's seventh-place finish and Marinakis' financial backing could tip the scales—Wolfie analyzes if this move aligns with the club's long-term vision. Would Dušan Vlahović be a dream signing for Nottingham Forest, or is this too good to be true? Wolfie breaks down the pros and cons, from Vlahović's proven Serie A record to the challenges of adapting to the Premier League, and gives his verdict on whether he'd strengthen the squad. Drop your thoughts in the comments—do you want Vlahović at the City Ground, or should Forest look elsewhere?

I appologise for the audio quality. We had issues with this episode.In this episode of the US Navy History Podcast, Dale and Christophe delve into the Serbian Campaign during World War I. They explore the initial Austro-Hungarian attacks on Serbia, the strategic errors made, and the significant battles such as the Battle of Cer and the Battle of Drina. The episode highlights the severe losses on both sides, the subsequent Serbian retreat, and the impact of external factors like the involvement of Bulgaria and the typhus epidemic on the Serbian population. The discussion extends to the eventual Allied counterattacks, the strategic significance of the campaign, and Serbia's role in the broader context of the war. They conclude by honoring Corporal Benjamin Robert Bazel, detailing his contributions during the Korean War. The episode combines in-depth historical analysis with personal anecdotes and closing thoughts from the hosts.

Serbia's government has come under intense pressure since a deadly disaster at Novi Sad's main railway station last November. Student-led protests have spiralled into a nation-wide resistance movement and for months, Serbians have been speaking out against corruption, a lack of accountability, and a culture of impunity in Aleksandar Vučić's regime. But if you're listening to this from Western Europe, or indeed much of the rest of the world, the odd headline is probably all you've seen.    What are these protests really about? And what makes them different? This week, an in-depth conversation about what it's like to be living through a potential turning point in Serbian history.   Thanks for listening.

Luke Black is a Serbian singer-songwriter who represented his country at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2023, the world's largest live music event, with an audience of over 160 million. Performing his song Samo Mi Se Spava, his set and choreography, with its special effect giant robot, were inspired by the video games he loves. Now based in London, he is redeveloping those ideas from video games and hero films to create a new collection of songs. He tells the BBC's Andrea Kidd why he is going darker with these new songs and how the recent student protests in Serbia have inspired him to write an unusually lyrical ballad. He also talks about his experiences at the Eurovision Song Contest and readjusting to life and work afterwards.
