Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From April 2025. Today's 2 topics: - In 2013 a 56 foot diameter space rock exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia releasing the energy of 450 kilotons of TNT and filled local hospitals with some of the 1,500 people who were injured. Fortunately no one died. In 1908 a 200 ft diameter meteor exploded over a largely unpopulated region at Tunguska, Siberia knocking down trees over a 750 square mile area. If it had hit over a populated area it could have caused a million casualties. - Asteroid hunters have become aware of the many small space rocks which come near Earth because of improvements made to telescopes, cameras, and computer analysis software. Recently, my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Rose Matheny used her skills and a new camera to discover the second small space rock in 32 days which came between the communications satellites and the Earth's surface.

In 1933, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin had his secret police goons round up hundreds of thousands of former farmers and he sent them into Siberia to create labor camps where they would be forced to work. Many would die along the way, including the over 6,000 unfortunate enough to end up on Nazino Island, where innocent people were dumped with no food other than raw flour, no clean water, no shelter, no medicine, and no protection from each other. Starvation and desperation quickly led to cannibalism, mutilation, and death.For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

Before it invaded Ukraine, Russia was Europe's single largest supplier of imported natural gas. But now that the European Union is considering an outright ban on all Russian gas by the end of 2027, Russia is pivoting to Asia, courting China as both a crucial new market for its gas and an important geostrategic ally. When Russian President Vladimir Putin traveled to China at the end of August, the visit produced a series of cooperation agreements. Among them: a deal between Gazprom and the China National Petroleum Corporation to advance the long-discussed Power of Siberia 2 pipeline, a massive project that, if completed, could send 50 billion cubic meters of Russian natural gas to China each year. But the announcement is short on many details, including pricing, financing, and a timeline. So what — beyond symbolism — does this deal actually deliver for both Russia and China in the short term? What prompted China to sign the agreement after years of delays? And what does it tell us about China's efforts to diversify its energy imports? This week, Jason speaks with three scholars from the Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP), Anne-Sophie Corbeau, Tatiana Mitrova, and Erica Downs, about the possible impacts of the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline agreement. The trio also recently co-authored a post about the PoS2 news on the CGEP website. Anne-Sophie is a global research scholar at CGEP, where she focuses on hydrogen and natural gas. She previously worked as a senior analyst at BP and the International Energy Agency. Tatiana is a CGEP research fellow with twenty five years of experience dealing with Russian and global energy markets. Erica is a senior research scholar at CGEP, where she focuses on Chinese energy markets and geopolitics. Earlier in her career she held senior roles in the China Studies program of the CNA Corporation and at Eurasia Group. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless.

Đất hiếm là vũ khí lợi hại giúp Trung Quốc đối mặt với chính sách bảo hộ của Hoa Kỳ. Washington khai thác thuế nhập khẩu vì các mục đích kinh tế và nhất là địa chính trị. Lá chủ bài của Nga là năng lượng. Matxcơva đang dùng đòn « Ngoại giao ống dẫn khí đốt » để phá vỡ gọng kềm trừng phạt của phương Tây, mà mắt xích đầu tiên là Hoa Kỳ. RFI tiếng Việt phỏng vấn Igor Delanoë phó giám đốc Đài Quan Sát Pháp-Nga. Đến dự thượng đỉnh Tổ Chức Hợp Tác Thượng Hải Thiên Tân, dự lễ duyệt binh trên Quảng Trường Thiên An Môn Bắc Kinh, tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin không bỏ lỡ cơ hội phô trương quan hệ thắm thiết với các lãnh đạo Ấn Độ, Bắc Triều Tiên và đặc biệt là với nước chủ nhà Trung Quốc. Ở Thiên Tân, hôm 01/09/2025 Trung Quốc, Nga và Ấn Độ khẳng định quyết tâm mở rộng tầm hoạt động của Tổ Chức Hợp Tác Thượng Hải (SCO) ra ngoài lĩnh vực an ninh. Các bên đồng ý thành lập một ngân hàng phát triển dành riêng cho các nước thành viên. Bắc Kinh, Matxcơva mạnh dạn hơn trên con đường xây dựng một trật tự thế giới mà ở đó tất cả không còn chỉ xoay quanh các nước phương Tây. Hai ngày sau, tổng thống Nga đến Bắc Kinh dự lễ duyệt binh nhân kỷ niệm 80 năm kết thúc Thế Chiến Thứ Hai và họp thượng đỉnh song phương Nga-Trung. Đây là dịp để lãnh đạo tập đoàn dầu khí Gazprom thông báo Matxcơva và Bắc Kinh « khởi động lại chương trình xây dựng đường ống đưa khí đốt Power of Siberia 2 ». Đây sẽ là tuyến đường thứ ba đưa khí đốt của Nga sang Trung Quốc, sau Siberia 1 và Tuyến đường Phương Đông. Power of Siberia 2, dự án trị giá 12 tỷ euro để xây dựng đường ống từ các mỏ khí của Nga ở Yamal đến khu vực đông bắc Trung Quốc, đi qua Mông Cổ. Một khi đi vào hoạt động, tuyến đường này cho phép cung cấp 50 tỷ mét khối khí đốt hàng năm cho Trung Quốc. Báo chí Matxcơva nói đến « dự án vĩ đại nhất thế giới trong ngành công nghiêp năng lượng ». Yếu tố chính trị trong thỏa thuận năng lượng Nga-Trung Trả lời RFI tiếng Việt, chuyên gia Igor Delanoë phó giám đốc Đài Quan Sát Pháp-Nga CCI, cộng tác viên của Viện Quan Hệ Quốc Tế và Chiến Lược Pháp IRIS, công nhận đây là một dự án vô cùng quan trọng đối với cả Matxcơva lẫn Bắc Kinh vào lúc Nga đã mất đi khách hàng quan trọng nhất là châu Âu. Song người Pháp có câu « le diable se cache dans les détails » nghĩa là thành công hay thất bại của dự án tùy thuộc vào những « chi tiết nhỏ ». Hiện tại còn nhiều « chi tiết » không hề nhỏ, hai đối tác chính là Gazprom của Nga và CNPC của Trung Quốc vẫn còn bất đồng. Igor Delanoë nhắc lại, tuần trước nhiều thỏa thuận hợp tác song phương đã được ký kết tại Bắc Kinh nhân chuyến công du Trung Quốc của tổng thống Vladimir Putin. Igor Delanoë : « Trong quan hệ giữa Nga và Trung Quốc, đôi bên đã ký kết khoảng 20 văn kiện liên quan đến nhiều lĩnh vực : nông nghiệp, y tế, giáo dục, không gian... Tuy nhiên nổi bật nhất là bản ghi nhớ về chương trình xây dựng đường ông dẫn khí Power of Siberia 2. Phía Nga đã nói đến một văn bản có giá trị pháp lý ràng buộc trong thời hạn 30 năm. Quá trình đàm phán đã kéo dài và theo chỗ tôi được biết thì hai tập đoàn Gazprom và CNCP vẫn chưa đạt đồng thuận về nhiều điểm : phía CNCP của Trung Quốc đòi mua khí đốt của Nga với mức giá như là Gazprom bán ra trên thị trường nội địa. Đó là điều kiện tập đoàn Nga không thể thỏa mãn, bởi vì buôn bán như vậy Gazprom không có lợi ích thương mại nào cả ». Khí đốt : Trung Quốc sẽ chấp nhận lệ thuộc đến 60 % vào một đối tác ? Igor Delanoë : « Dự án đường ống dẫn Siberia 2 đã bắt đầu được đàm phán từ lâu nay, nhưng mà trước đó, Siberia 1 đã đi vào hoạt động từ 2019, với công suất hiện tại là 38 tỷ mét khối mỗi năm. Trong chuyến công du Trung Quốc lần này, tổng thống Nga đã đồng ý nâng công suất của Siberia 1 lên tới 44 tỷ mét khối/năm. Hơn nữa giữa Matxcơva và Bắc Kinh còn có một đường ống thứ ba, cho phép xuất khẩu mỗi năm 10 tỷ mét khối khí đốt sang Trung Quốc. Một khi đi vào hoạt động thì đường ống Power of Siberia 2 mới là dự án quan trọng nhất : công suất của đường ống này là 50 tỷ mét khối hàng năm. Như vậy cộng cả ba đường ống để Nga cung cấp khí đốt cho Trung Quốc, trong tương lai Matxcơva có thể xuất khẩu đến 106 tỷ mét khối một năm cho quốc gia châu Á này. Đây là một điểm rất quan trọng đối với Gazprom vào lúc mà thị trường châu Âu đã khép lại – (trước đây mua vào 150 tỷ mét khối/năm). Trung Quốc tuy không thể hoàn toàn thay thế vào chỗ trống Liên Âu để lại, nhưng ít ra thì cũng bù đắp lại được khoảng 2 phần 3 thị phần của châu Âu ». Với Nga, dự án pipeline Siberia 2 rõ ràng là vô cùng quan trọng. Đối với Trung Quốc cũng vậy - nhất là khi mà Bắc Kinh đang đàm phán về giá cả với Gazprom. Chuyên gia về Nga Igor Delanoë lưu ý thêm những điểm như sau : Igor Delanoë : « Trong dự án Siberia 1, đường ống dài 2.200 km nối liền vùng Iakoutie đông Siberia của Nga với tỉnh Hắc Long Giang, đông bắc Trung Quốc, chi phí xây dựng chủ yếu do tập đoàn Nga đài thọ. Sở dĩ mà Gazprom có thể tài trợ là nhờ doanh thu từ xuất khẩu khí đốt sang châu Âu. Châu Âu mua khí đốt của Nga với giá cao. Giờ đây với chi phí xây dựng cơ sở hạ tầng đó, liệu có sẽ do Trung Quốc đảm nhiệm hay không ? Chưa thể giải đáp câu hỏi này. Hiện tại Gazprom hiện tại đang gặp « khó khăn về tài chính » : ngân sách đầu tư của tập đoàn này cho năm nay giảm 7 % so với hồi 2024. Gazprom phải sa thải 40 % nhân sự tại trụ sở tại Saint Petersbourg ; Tháng 5/2024 lần đầu tiên từ hơn 2 thập niên qua, tập đoàn này thông báo làm ăn thua lỗ (lỗ hơn 3,5 tỷ đô la). Đây là hậu quả trực tiếp từ các biện pháp trừng phạt Âu, Mỹ đánh vào kinh tế Nga từ khi Matxcơva đưa quân xâm chiếm Ukraina ». Mượn bóng Trung Quốc để kích thích Hoa Kỳ ? Do vậy, giới trong ngành cho rằng, tổng thống Putin đã tận dụng chuyến công du Trung Quốc vừa qua để phô trương thành tích trong hợp tác năng lượng với Bắc Kinh. Từ trước đến nay bản thân tổng thống Putin luôn thận trọng với Siberia 2 khi Trung Quốc đòi mua khí đốt của Nga với giá rẻ và đòi Gazprom đài thọ phần lớn các phí tổn xây dựng đường ống. Về phía Bắc Kinh tới nay, Trung Quốc vốn chủ trương không để phụ thuộc quá 50 % vào bất kỳ một nhà cung cấp năng lượng nào. Với Siberia 2, một khi đi vào hoạt động, cùng với hai đường ống đã có sẵn thì Nga sẽ trở thành nguồn cung cấp chiếm đến 60 % nhập khẩu khí đốt của Trung Quốc ! Phải chăng vì chiến tranh Ukraina kéo dài mà hai nhà lãnh đạo quyền lực nhất ở Bắc Kinh và Matxcơva đã thay đổi quan điểm ? Không loại trừ khả năng « văn bản ghi nhớ mang tính ràng buộc » về Power Siberia 2 được thông báo hồi tuần trước là một thông điệp Matxcơva gửi tới Washington. Nga từng chính thức mời tập đoàn dầu khí ExxonMobil của Mỹ « trở lại » với dự án Sakhalin. Hơn một chục ngày sau thượng đỉnh Donald Trump -Vladimir Putin tại Anchorage, Alaska, báo tài chính Mỹ The Wall Street Journal đưa tin ExxonMobil dường như đang đàm phán với Rosneft để tham gia trở lại dự án khai thác dầu khí Sakhalin 1 trong vùng Viễn Đông Nga. Về điểm này chuyên gia Pháp, Igor Delanoë đánh giá : Igor Delanoë : « Có tin đồn rằng người Mỹ có thể quay lại tham gia dự án Sakhalin ở Viễn Đông Nga. Điều này sẽ đòi hỏi Washington phải ngừng trừng phạt Nga để cho phép các tập đoàn của Mỹ quay lại với dự án này. Nhưng chúng ta thấy rõ, tại thượng đỉnh Thiên Tân cũng như là sự kiện ở Bắc Kinh sau đó, hình ảnh thắm thiết giữa Nga - Ấn Độ - Trung Quốc còn là thông điệp nhắm tới Hoa Kỳ. Tuy vậy đây chỉ là một giải pháp tình thế khi các bên xích lại gần nhau vì đừng quên là vẫn có nhiều bất đồng sâu sắc, đặc biệt là về tranh chấp biên giới giữa Ấn Độ và Trung Quốc, rồi gần đây hơn là giữa Ấn Độ với Pakistan mà Mỹ thì đang sưởi ấm quan hệ với Pakistan và cả Trung Quốc thì đã đứng về phía Islamabad. Chẳng qua là do Mỹ gây áp lực với Ấn Độ và đã đẩy thủ tướng Modi vào vòng tay các ông Tập Cận Bình và Vladimir Putin. Đây là khuynh hướng chung. Về phía ông Putin, thông điệp ẩn đằng sau những sự kiện này là gửi đến người Mỹ, để nói rằng: nếu Hoa Kỳ không buông Ukraina, thì cái giá địa chính trị mà họ phải trả là việc củng cố liên minh tam giác Á-Âu gồm Nga, Trung Quốc và Ấn Độ - với các dự án năng lượng như khí đốt sang Trung Quốc và dầu mỏ sang Ấn Độ ». Nga « bắt đúng mạch » của Mỹ Igor Delanoë : « Trong lĩnh vực dầu khí, trước khi nổ ra chiến tranh Ukraina, ExxonMobil có một số dự án hơp tác với Nga ở vùng Bắc Cực và Viễn Đông. Nhưng tất cả đã bị đóng băng hoặc bỏ dở một khi Matxcơva đưa quân sang Ukraina và bị phương Tây trừng phạt. Từ khi Donald Trump trở lại cầm quyền, ông đã nối lại đối thoại song phương với Vladimir Putin. Năng lượng là một hồ sơ được đôi bên thảo luận. Nga đề nghị mời Mỹ quay lại và Matxcơva không chỉ mang dầu hỏa khí đốt ra để nhử mà còn để ngỏ khả năng cùng hợp tác khai thác đất hiếm, hợp tác trong nhiều lĩnh vực khác nữa. Các doanh nhân thân cận với Donald Trump rất chú ý đến điểm này và có thể là Washington đang buông tay với Ukraina để xích lại gần hơn với nước Nga của Vladimir Putin. Để đạt được mục tiêu này, thì điều kiện tiên quyết là đến một lúc nào đó phải dỡ bỏ các lệnh cấm vận kinh tế Nga. Trước mắt các bên mới chỉ bàn thảo đến dự án Sakhalin ». Vẫn Igor Delanoë ghi nhận, Nga dùng lá bài đầu tư, kinh tế, năng lượng và cả khoáng sản để thu hút trước hết là chú ý của các nhóm lợi ích bao quanh tổng thống Trump. Mục đích của Matxcơva là thuyết phục được chủ nhân Nhà Trắng vừa giảm hỗ trợ cho Ukraina, vừa nhờ Hoa Kỳ bẻ gấy mắt xích đầu tiên của loạt trừng phạt nhắm vào kinh tế Nga. Một khi mà Washington dỡ bỏ cấm vận với Nga, thì không có lý do gì để các đối tác của Hoa Kỳ như Nhật Bản, Hàn Quốc và châu Âu tiếp tục cô lập Matxcơva. Rất có thể là Vladimir Putin muốn dùng dự án Sakhalin như công cụ hiệu quả nhất bởi chỉ cần Mỹ thực sự quay lại, đó sẽ là một tín hiệu gửi đến các đối tác khác – hoặc đối tác cũ của Nga – về triển vọng nối lại hợp tác năng lượng. Theo nhà nghiên cứu Igor Delanoë Nhật Bản, Hàn Quốc cũng đang nóng lòng chờ đợi một tín hiệu « thuận lợi » nào đó theo chiều hướng này. Đâu chỉ có Trung Quốc hay Mỹ mới biết dùng các công cụ kinh tế để phục vụ các lợi ích địa chính trị.
En las sombrías profundidades del océano yace un misterioso agujero, un enigma en el abismo acuático que desconcierta a los científicos. Esta anomalía submarina, descubierta por investigadores marinos, plantea preguntas sobre lo que se esconde en los oscuros rincones invisibles de nuestro planeta. Pero ese no es el único fenómeno natural que envía escalofríos por la espalda: piensa en el extraño zumbido que emana de la misma Tierra, una vibración de baja frecuencia que sigue siendo un enigma científico. Desde la lluvia de sangre en India hasta la combustión espontánea de los cráteres llenos de metano en Siberia, el mundo está repleto de ocurrencias extrañas y, a veces, escalofriantes que desafían nuestro entendimiento de la naturaleza.

US President Donald Trump claimed he would "un-unite" Russia and China, but the divide-and-conquer strategy failed. Instead, Moscow and Beijing are closer than ever, and they are at the heart of a Global South-led movement to build a new multipolar world order, challenging Western hegemony and imperialism.

SHOW SCHEDULE 9-4 The show begins in the EU, fretting Kyiv, Paris, London, Berlin. 1578 ALEX-TRAIMAN-JNS-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Alex TRAIman MALCOLM HOENLEIN @CONF_OF_PRES @MHOENLEIN1 Affiliation: CEO and Jerusalem Bureau Chief for Jewish News Service (JNS) Summary: The discussion focuses on the Israel-Hamas conflict, emphasizing the Israeli government's preference for all hostage releases and Hamas's surrender for an end to the war. It details the IDF's military campaign in Gaza City, the challenges of urban warfare, and the ongoing threat from Iranian-backed proxies like Hamas and the Houthis. The long-term outlook suggests a complex, "unclean" end to the conflict, with continued terror attacks likely. ANATOL-LIEVEN-KYIV-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Anatol LIeven Affiliation: Eurasia Project Director of the Quinsey Institute for Responsible Statecraft Summary: The conversation critically examines a proposal for a Eurocentric security force in Ukraine, highlighting its practical unfeasibility given European military limitations and domestic fiscal challenges, particularly in France. It suggests the proposal might be political grandstanding or a strategy to "trap" the US. Ukraine's strategy aims to wear Russia down to concede on demands, recognizing they cannot achieve a full military victory. ANNA-BORSCHEVSKAYA-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Anna Borschevskaya MALCOLM HOENLEIN @CONF_OF_PRES @MHOENLEIN1 Affiliation: The Washington Institute Summary: This segment discusses Vladimir Putin's vision for a multipolar world with diminished US influence, emphasizing a strategic triangle of Russia, China, and India. It highlights Russia's increasing cooperation with Iran and Belarus, despite conventional wisdom. Putin is seen as willing to accept Russia's junior position to China, viewing it as a necessary alliance against a perceived Western attack on Russia. CHRIS-RIEGEL-HBM-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Chris RIEGEL Affiliation: CEO of #SCALAREPORT: CHRIS RIEGEL CEO, SCALA.COM @STRATACACHE. Summary: The discussion centers on High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) as a critical innovation driving the AI revolution. SK Hynix has surpassed competitors by vertically stacking memory chips, overcoming the "memory wall" to allow faster data access for AI processors. This technology is crucial for AI development, with the US leading innovation. Strict US and EU export controls aim to prevent China from acquiring advanced chip-making tools. CLIFF-MAY-ENERGY-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Cliff May Affiliation: Founder and President of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies Summary: The conversation challenges current energy policies, noting that fossil fuels still provide over 81% of global energy despite decades of renewables promotion. Cliff May argues that climate policy often weakens the US while adversaries like China and Russia continue to rely on coal and hydrocarbons without climate concerns. He emphasizes energy security as intrinsic to national security, criticizing government subsidies as ineffective and prone to cronyism. COL-GRANT-NEWWSHAM-ROK-DPRK-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Grant NEWSHam Affiliation: Colonel, United States Marine Corps retired, and author of "When China Attacks" Summary: The discussion traces the cynical division of Korea at the 38th parallel and the resulting prosperity of South Korea versus the starvation in North Korea. It highlights the current South Korean administration's pro-North Korea stance and its alignment with China and Russia. Kim Jong-un's presence at a Beijing military parade signifies a strengthening, serious alliance among these adversarial nations, aiming to intimidate the West. DALLAS-BIENHOFF-DSVID-LIVINGSTON-MARS-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Dallas BIEnhof and David Livingston Affiliation: Space Systems Architect for Offworld.ai; David Livingston: Dr. Space of The Space Show Summary: The discussion defines cis-lunar space as the volume around the Moon, highlighting planned missions and the Artemis program as a key driver. It explores the utility of Lagrange points for stable orbital stations and the need for extensive infrastructure, including transportation nodes and propellant depots, to support a permanent human presence on the Moon and Mars. Future plans also include resource utilization and space tourism. JULIA-CARTWRIGHT-HOUSING-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Julia Cartwright Affiliation: Senior Research Fellow in Law and Economics at the American Institute for Economic Research Summary: The conversation examines the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a major impediment to housing development, particularly for rebuilding after wildfires. Julia Cartwright details how CEQA, along with restrictive building and zoning codes, creates costly delays, making California the most expensive state for construction. This bureaucracy disproportionately impacts affordable housing and is exacerbated by entities like the California Coastal Commission. MICHAEL-BERNSTAM-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Michael Bernstam Affiliation: Hoover Institution Summary: The segment discusses Russia's energy deals with China, including the Power of Siberia pipelines, noting financing and pricing disputes. Michael Bernstam highlights Russia's struggle with declining oil prices, leading to budget deficits and losses for major oil companies. China and India are benefiting from discounted Russian crude, processing it for sale to Europe, bypassing sanctions. Secondary sanctions on China could disrupt this trade. MOHSEN-SAZEGARA-IRAN-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Mohsen Sazagara Affiliation: Democracy activist from Iran Summary: Mohsen Sazagara confirms Iran's rearmament efforts, fueled by its leadership's belief in success against Israel and continued anti-US policies. Iran is seeking arms from Russia (via Belarus) and China (via North Korea), though Russia is reportedly less generous than expected. The speaker notes growing internal opposition within Iran and a high probability of another military conflict with Israel, especially concerning nuclear development or air defense rebuilding. SADANAND-DHUME-MODI-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Sadanand Dhume Affiliation: American Enterprise Institute, writes "East to East" column for the Wall Street Journal Summary: The discussion analyzes Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, amidst declining US-India relations due to tariffs. India's large farm lobby, especially dairy, heavily influences trade policy. Despite diplomatic gestures, India maintains vigilance against Chinese aggression due to deep-rooted border disputes and China's close ties with Pakistan, indicating India won't align closely with China. VERONIQUE-DERUGY-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Veronique de Rugy Affiliation: Mercatus Center Summary: Veronique de Rugy strongly critiques the proposal for a US sovereign wealth fund, arguing it's a poor idea given the US's high debt-to-GDP ratio and existing budget deficits. She contends that borrowing to invest would be fiscally unsound and would lead to "cronyism on steroids," as government investment decisions are driven by political priorities rather than viable market opportunities, unlike private sector investments.
Wakati mabilioni ya watu wakiendelea kuvuta hewa chafu inayosababisha zaidi ya vifo vya mapema milioni 4.5 kila mwaka, wataalamu wa hali ya hewa wa Umoja wa Mataifa leo Ijumaa (5 Septemba) wamebainisha madhara ya chembe ndogo ndogo za moshi kutoka katika moto wa nyika ambazo husafiri umbali mrefu duniani kote. Philip Mwihava na maelezo zaidi.(Taarifa ya Mwihava)“Ubora wa hewa hauheshimu mipaka,” anasema Lorenzo Labrador, Afisa wa Kisayansi wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Hali ya Hewa Duniani (WMO). Anaendelea kueleza kwamba, “moshi na uchafuzi unaotokana na moto wa nyika katika msimu huu wa kihistoria katika Rasi ya Iberia tayari umepatikana Ulaya Magharibi, kwa hiyo athari zake hazibaki tu kwenye Rasi ya Iberia, bali zinaweza kusambaa kote barani Ulaya.”Akiwasilisha taarifa ya WMO kuhusu Hewa Safi na Tabianchi, ambayo inakusanya data kutoka vyanzo mbalimbali vya kimataifa, leo jijini Geneva, Uswisi Bwana Labrador ametangaza mwendelezo wa mwenendo wa kuzorota kwa ubora wa hewa duniani.Ameonyesha ramani ya dunia ya mwaka 2024 iliyoonesha alama za chembechembe ndogo zinazojulikana kama “PM 2.5” kutokana na moto wa nyika, zikionekana kwa alama nyekundu kwenye maeneo ya Chile, Brazil na Ecuador, pamoja na Canada, Afrika ya Kati na Siberia. Takwimu hizo zinathibitisha mwenendo wa kuendelea kwa kuzorota kwa ubora wa hewa duniani kama ilivyoonekana katika miaka iliyopita.Kwa upande wa habari njema, mwanasayansi huyo wa WMO amesisitiza kupungua kwa uzalishaji wa hewa chafuzi katika baadhi ya maeneo ya dunia.(Sauti ya Labrador) - sauti ya kiume“Tunaona mwenendo wa kuzorota kwa ubora wa hewa hasa kwa kuhusiana na PM 2.5, na pia tunaona kupungua kwa uzalishaji wa hewa chafuzi katika maeneo fulani ya dunia, hasa mashariki mwa China na Ulaya, mwaka baada ya mwaka.”Mfano mzuri uliotolewa katika taarifa ya leo mashariki mwa China, katika miji kama Shanghai, ambako kumepigwa hatua katika kuboresha ubora wa hewa kwa kufungua bustani zaidi na kupanda miti mingi. Na ingawa bado kuna msongamano mkubwa wa magari, mengi sasa ni ya umeme.Hata hivyo WMO inasema licha ya mafanikio hayo, miji michache tu duniani ina viwango vya ubora wa hewa chini ya vile vinavyopendekezwa na Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya Duniani (WHO). Hii inamaanisha kuwa, licha ya maboresho ya karibuni, ubora wa hewa bado ni changamoto kubwa kwa afya ya umma.Umoja wa Mataifa unaongoza juhudi za kupambana na uchafuzi wa hewa majumbani ambao ni mojawapo ya vitisho vikubwa zaidi kwa afya ya umma duniani na hasa ni hatari kwa watoto.

Russlands Präsident Wladimir Putin und Chinas Staatschef Xi Jinping haben in Peking mehr als 20 Kooperationsabkommen unterzeichnet – darunter das lange blockierte Pipelineprojekt „Power of Siberia 2“. Der Besuch Putins beim SCO-Gipfel gilt als geopolitisches Signal: Moskau und Peking rücken enger zusammen, während der Westen an Einfluss verliert.
With China and Russia agreeing to build a new gas pipeline through Siberia, we take a look at its global economic impact and what it could mean for the two countries as they become ever more reliant on each other.Elsewhere, Ed Butler discusses the economic forces driving the brutal civil war in Myanmar while visiting a rehabilitation centre inside Thailand where wounded rebel soldiers go to recover.We hear from farmers in Nigeria investing in solar power to keep water running to their farms.And Hannah Mullane hears how a supermarket in France is upsetting bakeries by undercutting them on price.
Jon Herold kicks off the week with sharp analysis of Trump's announcement to move U.S. Space Command headquarters from Colorado to Alabama, calling it a “devoproof” that reinforces how Biden's reversal never truly stuck. He then breaks down a federal judge's ruling against Trump's National Guard deployment in Los Angeles, framing it as lawfare that will inevitably reach the Supreme Court. From there, Jon digs into ODNI reforms under Tulsi Gabbard, including the disbanding of the Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center, tying it to Russiagate abuses and Durham's ignored whistleblower evidence. The episode also covers Treasury bond turmoil after tariff rulings, the Russia-China “Power of Siberia 2” pipeline deal, Trump's comments on Israel's weakening lobby, Nadler's retirement, Giuliani's Medal of Freedom, Lisa Cook's mortgage fraud scandal, and the Pentagon sending 600 military lawyers to serve as immigration judges. Blending news, personal anecdotes, and sponsor shout-outs, Jon weaves together geopolitics, lawfare, and cultural battles in his signature no-nonsense style.

The Pasuk says in Parashat Re'eh: "וברכך ה' אלוקיך בכל אשר תעשה"-Hashem your G-d will bless you in everything you do. Our Rabbis learn from here our obligation to put in our Hishtadlut, our effort, to accomplish what we want. Along with this obligation comes a very big test that everyone faces on a daily basis- to be able to put in the effort, yet realize the whole time that Hashem is really the One getting everything done. Hashem wants the world to run בדרך הטבע , through nature, so in order to camouflage His presence, He makes it look like we are the ones accomplishing. But in truth, it is all Hashem. The Mesilat Yesharim calls our Hishtadlut a tax to pay. Once we have fulfilled the quota, Hashem sends His blessing down. Shlomo Hamelech summed it up in a Pasuk in Mishle: "סוס מוכן ליום מלחמה" We have to get the horse ready to go out and fight in battle. An army cannot go out to war expecting a miracle. Rabbenu Bachya says that if they do, they will lose. They have to make all of the necessary preparations to fight. But the Pasuk concludes: "לה' התשועה" The victory of the war is entirely in the hands of Hashem. The'בוטח בה- one who trusts in Hashem, knows that once he puts in his effort he can feel comfortable with the knowledge that he did his part. Then, whatever happens is the will of Hashem for his best. A person should never feel that his efforts were wasted , even if he didn't see his desired results. For example, a man worked on a sale for six weeks, and then it all fell through. His time was not wasted, he paid six weeks' worth of tax, and that opened the pipeline for Hashem to send blessing when He sees fit. If a person went to three doctors and didn't yet come up with a solution for his health issue, he didn't waste his time. He did his Hishtadlut, he paid his tax, and now he should feel great knowing that he did his part. If there is ever a situation where a reasonable Hishtadlut is not possible, then the person becomes exempt from Hishtadlut, and he can totally rely on Hashem. For example, if a person had an ailment, and tried one method to cure it, yet it didn't work, and then tried another, and a third, and still no results, and the doctors say that there is nothing else to try. At that moment, the person becomes exempt from Hishtadlut, and he can totally rely on Hashem for a cure. Rabbi Yechezkel Abramsky, זכר צדיק לברכה, used to tell over the following story which happened to him. He was taken to Siberia against his will along with a group of people. They were told to remove their shoes, their jackets and their shirts. They had to walk on snow and ice for miles. The Rabbi had a condition from a very young age that he was very sensitive to the cold, and he would frequently get sick from being exposed to even moderately cold temperatures. His mother, he recalls, used to send him to school in many layers of clothing to protect him. He still had this condition now, and he knew that many people had died in Siberia from being exposed to the frigid temperatures. On his first walk on the ice, he turned to Hashem and said, "The Gemara tells us: '-הכל בידי שמים חוץ מצינים ופחים"Everything is in the hands of Heaven except for cold and hot," which means that if a person goes outside in the winter without a jacket and gets sick, he brought that upon himself. Hashem commanded us to guard our health; we are not allowed to act recklessly. The Rabbi continued. "When I had extra layers and jackets I put them on to protect myself. But now, I don't have that ability, so I am exempt from that obligation. All that is left is the בידי שמים part. Now Hashem, it is only in Your hands. Please, save me from getting cold here." The Rabbi testified, that for over a year and a half in Siberia, he never felt cold even once. It is not the clothing that warms us up, it is Hashem. When we have the ability to help ourselves, we are obligated to. But when there is nothing for us to do, we can totally rely on Hashem. Those who are able to see through nature and recognize that everything is really Hashem, will not only pass this very big test, but they will reap the rewards both in this world and in the next.

In August 1993, veteran hiking instructor Lyudmila Korovina led six young trainees into Siberia's Khamar-Daban mountains. After good initial progress, the group was caught in days of freezing rain, leaving them soaked, cold, and exhausted. On August 6, during their descent from 2,396 meters, 23-year-old Alexander Krysin suddenly collapsed, bleeding from the eyes and mouth, convulsing, and dying within minutes. Korovina attempted to help but soon suffered the same symptoms and died. One by one, the remaining hikers—Tatiana Filipenko, Viktoriya Zalesova, Timur Bapanov, and Denis Shvachkin—collapsed violently, some clawing at their throats, vomiting blood, tearing at their clothes, or bashing their heads against rocks. Valentina Utochenko, the only survivor, fled the scene and wandered for four days before kayakers rescued her.Contact us at: weeknightmysteries@gmail.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/weeknightmysteriesTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@weeknightmysteries

Eugene Buchanan drops by for a deep dive into a life built around rivers, paddling, and epic adventure. He's a former editor-in-chief of Paddler magazine, founder of Paddling Life, a Fellow of the Explorers Club, a renowned author, and a man whose stories span over 30 countries and six continents. Show Notes WHAT HAPPENED: I never planned to make a living from rivers. In fact, if you had asked me back in college, I was more focused on seasonal raft guiding and avoiding any “real job” that required shoes. But then a friend called. He had a permit for the Grand Canyon. I packed up, strapped a kayak to my car, and drove down the Alcan Highway. That trip changed everything. I met my wife on that river. Then I quit my job. Took freelance writing gigs. Burned my vacation time to chase rivers in Peru and Ecuador. Eventually, I found myself editing a national paddling magazine... and later, starting my own. I've paddled in Siberia with Latvians who made rafts from military gear and soccer balls. I've seen the rise of pack rafts, drone scouting, and GPS maps. I've watched river communities form in the unlikeliest places. And I've learned the hard way—like, “class V in the Colombian jungle, middle-of-nowhere, CPR-on-the-rocks” kind of hard—that rivers don't care about your itinerary. PRINCIPLE: The river doesn't just test your skills. It reveals your priorities. It reminds you that life—like paddling—isn't about control. It's about choosing the current that calls to you… and having the right crew with you when it all goes sideways. TRANSITION: Too many people think paddling is just about adrenaline. But the truth is, most folks never get beyond the weekend warrior stage—not because they lack passion, but because they don't have a crew, a guide, or a map for what's next. They want to explore more, but they don't know where to start. Or worse—they overestimate what they can handle and end up burned out, discouraged, or worse. THAT'S WHY: That's why this episode with Eugene Buchanan is such a gift. It's not just a story about rivers—it's a deep dive into how adventure becomes a lifestyle, a career, and a calling. From Siberia to the Yampa, Eugene shows what's possible when you follow your curiosity and stay in the current long enough to let it shape you. CALL TO ACTION: If you've ever wondered if you have what it takes to go from weekend paddle trips to something bigger—this is the episode you need. Don't wait for perfect weather. Don't wait until you “feel ready.” The river's already flowing. Jump in.

A Hamster With a Blunt Penknife - a Doctor Who Commentary podcast
Huge stuff is happening in this 'season finale' book; Anji and Fitz leave the Doctor, explosive action, time windows in Siberia, lost expeditions, a walking black hole and the arc villain revealing his plan...
Recorded live at Tanglewood with Boston Symphony Orchestra musicians and a star-studded cast, this tale with roots in India, Mongolia, Siberia and the Philippines is all about thinking outside the box... and inside the jar.
The story begins on August 2, 1993, in the Khamar Daban mountains of southern Siberia. A group of students visiting from Petropavl in Kazakhstan planned to hike from the shores of Lake Baikal and summit Kang-Ula.The seven hikers were Aleksander Kyrsin, 23; Tatyana Filipenko, 24; Denis Shvachkin, 19; Valentina Utochenko, 17; Viktoriya Zalesova, 16; Timur Bapanov, 15; and leader Lyudmila Korovina, 41. They were reportedly a tight-knit bunch of good friends. The group had done difficult hikes before, and all were physically fit. They also had a hiking legend in their midst. Lyudmila Korovina was a well-known survivalist with a strong will and excellent problem-solving skills. She even had the nickname of Master among those she led on expeditions. The event has been likened to the Dyatlov Pass incident, earning it the name "Buryatia's Dyatlov Pass".Help us buy a camera:https://ko-fi.com/monsterfuzzSupport the pod:www.patreon.com/monsterfuzz Check out our merch:https://monster-fuzz.creator-spring.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/monster-fuzz--4349429/support.

In this week's show, Lian is joined by Nicholas Breeze Wood. Nicholas has practiced shamanism for over 40 years, combining it with the 'earthier' end of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as with 'medicine' teachings from Native North American peoples. He has worked with many gifted medicine people and shamans over the years, and is deeply apprenticed to his own spirit helpers, whose teachings never fail to awe and surprise him. Nick's shamanism is a fusion of traditional Himalayan and Mongolian forms, combined with teachings from his own spirits. He works especially deeply with ritual objects - such as bronze shaman's mirrors, phurba daggers and many other Mongolian and Tibetan shamanic and Buddhist ritual objects - for which he holds traditional teachings and, where required, traditional initiations. Despite being a ‘rather uneducated Buddhist,' he is an ordained Tibetan Buddhist lama, a type called a ngakpa, whose role is similar to a shaman's. Ngakpas are non-monastic, non-celebrate lamas who live in the community, specialising in ritual and magic for people within their community. Nick is the editor of Sacred Hoop Magazine - a leading international magazine about shamanism - which has been published since 1993. He is also a musician and artist. He is the author of several books including, 'Walking with the Tiger,' 'Sacred Drums of Siberia,' 'A Little Book of Revealing,' 'Voices From The Earth,' 'The Book of the Shaman,' 'The Shaman Box,' and 'The Resplendent Other'. He runs the large Facebook group 3Worlds Shamanism, has done a podcast called the 3Worlds shamanism podcast on and off since 2006 and also has a somewhat neglected YouTube channel, also called 3Worlds Shamanism. In this episode, Lian and Nicholas explore what it means to walk the path of shamanism in the modern West. Together, they trace the winding threads of Nicholas' life… from the windswept fields of his Midlands childhood to the birth of Sacred Hoop magazine, through encounters with medicine wheel teachings, Mongolian and Himalayan shamans, and the long shadow of Castaneda. What unfolds is not a how-to or a prescription… but a living braid of animism, discipline, and devotion. Nicholas reflects on the unexpected gift of dyslexia and how neurodivergence shaped his initiatory path, as a different kind of perception… one that enabled a direct, embodied relationship with the unseen. He and Lian explore the tension between psychotherapeutic frameworks and authentic shamanic practice, and the danger of mistaking surface form for deep structure. What makes a shaman, he says, is not sensitivity or interest, but being chosen by the spirits themselves. Woven through the conversation is the question of lineage. What does it mean to carry teachings from other lands onto this one? How do we honour both the transmission and the soil we stand upon? From the cosmology of the medicine wheel to the pitfalls of cultural appropriation, from core shamanism to the necessity of cosmological bone… this episode offers a rare encounter with an elder who has walked the shamanic path for many decades. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Why the word “shaman” is often misused… and how understanding deep structure versus surface form can clarify what is truly sacred. How neurodivergence can shape perception in ways that become part of our gift, especially when navigating the unseen or the unknown. What it might mean to birth a Western lineage… one rooted not in imitation, but in integration, initiation, and real relationship with land and spirit.

Taming Wild Hearts: The Siberian Fox Experiment, Evolution, and the Power of Curiosity—A Conversation with Lee Alan Dugatkin The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series
Born in Russia in 1836, he became one of the great Orthodox missionaries of modern times. As a boy, he resolved to become a missionary in the far East. With the counsel and blessing of Bishop Innocent of Siberia and Alaska, he went to Japan in 1861 and joined a small Russian mission there. Though the mission's official purpose was to minister to the Russian consular community, the consul-general who invited Hieromonk Nikolai hoped to bring the light of the Orthodox Faith to the Japanese people as well. Realizing that he could only hope to convert the Japanese people if they understood one another well, Fr Nikolai immersed himself in the study of Japanese thought, culture and language. Over the course of his life he translated most of the Bible and most of the Orthodox services into Japanese, and became a fluent speaker of the language. He encountered much resistance: Preaching of Christian doctrine was officially banned in Japan, and a Samurai once approached him with the words "Foreigners must die!" It was this same Samurai who later became his first Japanese priest. In 1880 he was elevated to Bishop of Japan. During the Russo-Japanese war he remained in Japan and labored successfully to overcome nationalist strife that might have harmed or destroyed the Church in Japan. He encouraged all his Japanese faithful to pray for the Japanese armed forces, though he explained that as a Russian he could not do so, and excluded himself from all public services for the duration of the war. He sent Russian-speaking Japanese priests to the prison camps to minister to Russian prisoners of war. At the time of his repose in 1912, after forty-eight years in Japan, St Nikolai left a Cathedral, eight churches, more than 400 chapels and meeting houses, 34 priests, 8 deacons, 115 lay catechists, and 34,110 Orthodox faithful. The Church of Japan is now an autonomous Orthodox Church under the mantle of the Moscow Patriarchate.
