Nous commencerons notre passage en revue de l'actualité par une discussion sur les politiques d'immigration du Danemark, que de nombreux pays européens envisagent d'adopter. Ensuite, nous commenterons l'interdiction des réseaux sociaux pour les moins de 16 ans, qui vient d'être mise en place en Australie. Notre section scientifique sera consacrée cette semaine au baiser. Les biologistes évolutionnistes affirment que le premier baiser a eu lieu il y a plus de 16 millions d'années. Et nous terminerons notre section actualités par une conversation sur un nouveau record battu lors d'une vente aux enchères chez Sotheby's. Un tableau de Gustav Klimt a été vendu à un prix record. La pièce maîtresse de la vente a été le Portrait d'Elisabeth Lederer de Gustav Klimt, qui a été adjugé pour 236,4 millions de dollars.    Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue et à la culture françaises. Notre point de grammaire de la semaine sera : Adjectives ending in: gu, er, el, (i)en, on, eil, and ul. Cette semaine, nous parlerons de l'inscription aux monuments historiques de deux nouveaux sites dans le sud de la France. Tous deux sont des sanctuaires religieux d'une grande richesse historique et spirituelle. Nous terminerons avec l'expression de la semaine : En mettre sa main au feu. Nous discuterons de l'entrée d'une nouvelle statue de cire au musée Grévin à Paris : celle de Lady Di, représentée vêtue de sa célèbre « revenge dress ». - Certains pays envisagent de mettre en place le même système d'immigration strict qu'au Danemark. - L'Australie adopte la première interdiction au monde des réseaux sociaux pour les moins de 16 ans - Les évolutionnistes affirment que le premier baiser remonte à plus de 16 millions d'années - Un tableau de Gustav Klimt est adjugé à un prix record lors d'une vente aux enchères organisée par Sotheby's - Deux nouveaux sites du sud de la France ont été inscrits aux Monuments historiques - La statue de cire de Lady Di fait son entrée au musée Grévin

Apriamo la nostra rassegna di attualità con una discussione sulle politiche migratorie della Danimarca, che molti Paesi europei stanno valutando di adottare. Passeremo, poi, alla nuova legge introdotta in Australia, che vieta l'uso dei social media ai minori di 16 anni. La nostra sezione scientifica questa settimana è dedicata al bacio. Secondo i biologi evoluzionisti, il primo bacio risale a oltre 16 milioni di anni fa. E concluderemo la parte delle notizie con una conversazione su un nuovo record stabilito all'asta di Sotheby's. Un dipinto di Gustav Klimt ha raggiunto una cifra mai vista prima. Stiamo parlando del Ritratto di Elisabeth Lederer, venduto per 236,4 milioni di dollari.    La seconda parte della puntata è dedicata alla lingua e alla cultura italiana. L'argomento grammaticale di oggi è Using Italian Adverbs. Ne troverete numerosi esempi nel dialogo che seguirà, ispirato alla recente decisione del Comune di Firenze di limitare la presenza dei dehors nel centro storico, ovvero quei tavolini, sedie e ombrelloni di bar e ristoranti che ostacolano la circolazione ai pedoni e rendono difficile la vita ai residenti. Nel finale ci soffermeremo sull'espressione idiomatica di oggi: Campato/a in aria/per aria. Il dialogo che segue ricorda due icone della storia della televisione italiana, le gemelle Kessler, ballerine, cantanti e attrici recentemente scomparse, e racconta un'eredità artistica che continua ancora oggi a scaldare il cuore degli italiani. - Altri Paesi valutano di adottare il rigoroso sistema di immigrazione danese - L'Australia introduce il primo divieto al mondo sui social media per i minori di 16 anni - Gli evoluzionisti sostengono che il primo bacio risale a oltre 16 milioni di anni fa - Un dipinto di Gustav Klimt stabilisce un nuovo record di prezzo all'asta di Sotheby's - Firenze dice basta ai dehors invadenti - Addio alle gemelle Kessler, icone della storia della televisione italiana

Comenzaremos nuestro repaso de la actualidad discutiendo la política de inmigración de Dinamarca, que muchos países europeos se están planteando adoptar. La siguiente discusión tratará sobre la prohibición de las redes sociales a los niños menores de 16 años que se está implementando en Australia. El segmento de ciencia de esta semana estará dedicado al hábito de besarse. Un grupo de biólogos de la evolución asegura que el primer beso ocurrió hace más de 16 millones de años. Y concluiremos la sección de actualidad del programa comentando el nuevo precio récord alcanzado durante una subasta de Sotheby's. Lo más destacado de la subasta fue el Retrato de Elisabeth Lederer, de Gustav Klimt, vendido por 236,4 millones de dólares. La segunda parte del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, el tiempo verbal Preterit Perfect - Part I. En esta conversación hablaremos de la provincia de Soria, situada en el extremo oriental de la Comunidad de Castilla-León. Esta área se ubica en la denominada España despoblada. Una de las razones de esta baja densidad de población es el clima, muy frío en invierno. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, Seguir en sus trece. La usaremos para hablar de Unamuno, un escritor y filósofo español perteneciente a la llamada generación del 98. Nació a finales del siglo XIX y murió poco después de terminar la Guerra Civil española. Mantuvo discusiones con políticos, eclesiásticos e intelectuales de la época con una firmeza radical en sus opiniones. En todos los géneros literarios que cultivó, Unamuno nos enseñó el valor de la palabra. Otros países se plantean implementar el estricto sistema de inmigración de Dinamarca Australia introduce la primera prohibición a nivel mundial de las redes sociales a niños menores de 16 años Un grupo de biólogos de la evolución dice que el primer beso ocurrió hace más de 16 millones de años Un cuadro de Gustav Klimt marca un precio récord en una subasta de Sotheby's Soria Miguel de Unamuno

Wir beginnen unseren Rückblick auf aktuelle Ereignisse mit einer Diskussion über die Einwanderungspolitik Dänemarks. Viele europäische Länder überlegen, sie zu übernehmen. Anschließend sprechen wir über ein Verbot von Social Media für Kinder unter 16 Jahren, das in Australien eingeführt wurde. In unserem Wissenschaftsthema geht es diese Woche um das Küssen. Evolutionsbiologen sagen, dass es den ersten Kuss schon vor über 16 Millionen Jahren gab. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil des Programms mit einer Diskussion über einen neuen Rekord bei einer Auktion von Sotheby's. Gustav Klimts Gemälde Bildnis Elisabeth Lederer erzielte einen Rekordpreis von 236,4 Millionen Dollar. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf Flavoring Particles (Modalpartikel) – Part 2. Wir sprechen über das Lieblingsgetränk der Deutschen in der Vorweihnachtszeit – Glühwein. Die Preise auf den Weihnachtsmärkten durchbrechen an manchen Orten die Grenze von 5 Euro pro Becher. Das sorgt für Unmut. Allerdings ist es nicht schwierig, Glühwein selbst zu machen. Deutschland trauert um die berühmten Kessler-Zwillinge, die einmal „die schönsten Frauen der Welt" genannt wurden. Die beiden Schauspielerinnen, Tänzerinnen und Sängerinnen waren ihr Leben lang unzertrennlich. Sie fühlten sich pudelwohl – zusammen und auf der Bühne. Das ist auch unsere Redewendung für diese Woche: Sich pudelwohl fühlen. Asylpolitik in Europa: Andere europäische Länder überlegen die Übernahme des strengen Einwanderungssystems Dänemarks Australien verbietet Social Media für Kinder unter 16 Jahren Evolutionsbiologie: Erster Kuss vor über 16 Millionen Jahren Rekordpreis für Gemälde von Gustav Klimt bei Auktion von Sotheby's Glühweinpreise gehen durch die Decke Die Kessler-Zwillinge: ein Leben zu zweit

Gustav Klimt's Portrait of Elisabeth Lederer (1914-16) sold for the second highest price ever realised at auction at Sotheby's in New York on Tuesday. It was the most notable of several big sales in the sold-out (or “white-glove”) auction of 24 works from the collection of the late billionaire Leonard Lauder, and has prompted some commentators to declare that the art market has turned a corner following a prolonged downturn. Ben Luke speaks to The Art Newspaper's senior art market editor in the Americas, Carlie Porterfield, about this week's auctions, and asks if they do mark a turning point in the art market's fortunes. Cop 30, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, is taking place in Belém, Brazil, and ends on Friday. To coincide with the conference, the Gallery Climate Coalition is publishing a Stocktake Report, in which it gives hard data on the efforts of its members to reduce their carbon emissions. The Art Newspaper's contemporary art correspondent in London, Louisa Buck, who is a co-founder of the coalition, tells Ben more. And this episode's Work of the Week is Victorious Cupid (1601-02) by Caravaggio, a landmark work by the artist, made at the height of his fame in Rome. The painting is making a rare journey from its home at the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin to the Wallace Collection in London, where it is at the centre of an exhibition opening next week. Ben talks to the collection's director, Xavier Bray, about the painting.Caravaggio's Cupid, Wallace Collection, London, 26 November-12 April 2026 Hosted on Acast.

Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen Are you intrigued by the intersection of passion and profit in wine collecting? This Inspired Money episode, hosted by Andy Wang, brings together top minds from wine auctions, investment platforms, and market experts for an eye-opening look at how wine has become a bona fide asset class. Whether you're a seasoned collector, investor, or simply wine-curious, this discussion unpacks strategies to maximize both enjoyment and value. Episodes like this are packed with insights that demystify the fine wine market, reveal what really drives price appreciation, and share hard-earned advice on avoiding costly mistakes. Meet the Expert Panelists Nick Pegna is the Global Head of Wine & Spirits at Sotheby's, bringing over 30 years of international experience in building and leading fine wine businesses across Europe and Asia. Formerly a senior executive at Berry Bros. & Rudd, where he helped shape global markets and co-led Hong Kong's successful campaign to abolish wine duties, Pegna now oversees Sotheby's record-setting global auction and retail operations. https://www.sothebys.com Callum Woodcock is the Founder and CEO of WineFi, a London-based investment platform that combines institutional-grade analytics with expert curation to make fine wine investing more transparent and accessible. A former J.P. Morgan asset manager with degrees from the University of Bristol and the University of Cambridge, he's leading WineFi's mission to position fine wine as a data-driven, tax-efficient, and inflation-resilient asset class. https://www.winefi.co Amanda McCrossin is a sommelier, media personality, and creator of @sommvivant, where her wine-focused content reaches over 450,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Formerly the Wine Director at PRESS Restaurant in Napa Valley—the world's largest collection of Napa Valley wines—she's now a leading voice in wine education and storytelling, hosting the Wine Access Unfiltered podcast and appearing regularly at major global wine events. https://www.amandamccrossin.com https://www.sommvivant.me Robbie Stevens is the Head of Broking at Live-ex, the global exchange for fine wine, market data, and insight.

Disciplined Bidding at Auctions Nick Pegna reveals why preparation and strategy, including setting a maximum bid and understanding total costs, safeguard buyers against emotional overspending: "The most careful and frequent buyers at auction have a strategy. They've planned what they're looking to bid on...across multiple auctions." 2. Secondary Market Liquidity Drives Investment Value Callum Woodcock emphasizes the importance of focusing on wines with proven resale liquidity, not just brand prestige or critics' scores. Data-driven models and decades of market transaction history are now key to "blue chip" wine selection. 3. Storytelling Fuels Scarcity and Demand Amanda McCrossin illustrates how narrative and personal connection make certain bottles iconic and drive up their market value, citing Napa's Screaming Eagle as a prime example. "Scarcity is really only informed by storytelling...what has made Napa Valley so successful is the storytelling element." 4. Transparency and Technology Are Raising the Bar Robbie Stevens shares Liv-ex's role in fostering trust: from vetting merchants, digitizing provenance, to benchmarking prices. The expansion of data access and seller management tools allows collectors to track market movements and optimize timing for liquidation. Call-to-Action Take a look at one item in your own collection, wine, art, or even another collectible, and think about it like an investor. What makes it valuable? How would you verify its authenticity, track its performance, and decide the right time to sell? Just doing that exercise will give you a new lens for appreciating your investments, and maybe even inspire your next move.

Turns out - the three men who burst in through her locked door are actually workers from the building. She's so freaked out she's moving.  And if you're traveling... Pack your patience. As the longest government shutdown goes on... Today there were more than one thousand delays and almost as many cancellations. And in the midst of the chaos... This -- fear in the sky as passengers put on oxygen masks after their plane lost pressure and dropped over the Grand Canyon. Plus, it's a grande frenzy at Starbucks! All over a cute, limited edition bear cup that is selling out everywhere. And if you want one... It's gonna cost you. They are selling like hot cakes on eBay... For more than 500 bucks a pop.  And if you think 500 dollars for a bear cup is crazy… you won't believe this...the world's most expensive toilet. It's made of solid 18 karat gold and is up for auction at Sotheby's in New York with an opening bid of 10 million dollars! It's actually a sculpture by a well-known artist.    To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The best marketers know how to read the room, and few people on earth do it better than an elite auctioneer. Brand Slam Episode 46 takes listeners inside the high-stakes world of auctions to uncover how energy, emotion and crowd psychology can drive marketing outcomes that spreadsheets can't. In this episode, hosts Steve Rosa and Joe Kayata sit down with Jacqueline Towers-Perkins, a London native turned New Yorker with nearly 15 years of experience commanding auction floors around the globe. She's led sales at prestigious houses like Sotheby's and Bonhams, hosted events for everyone from the King of England to Jay-Z, and helped move hundreds of millions in art, luxury goods and rare collectibles. Known for her fast-paced delivery, sharp instincts and commanding stage presence, Jacqueline brings a rare mix of theater and business acumen to every auction she directs. Now, as Founder and CEO of Towers & Co., Jacqueline is redefining what it means to “read the room.” Her global auctioneer agency and fundraising consultancy blends stagecraft and psychology—the same mix that turns a quiet crowd into a bidding frenzy.   Throughout the conversation, Jacqueline shares powerful parallels between auctioneering and marketing — both demand authenticity, timing and the ability to stir emotion at just the right moment. She reveals how professional auctioneers elevate fundraising events beyond transactions, transforming them into unforgettable experiences that build momentum and inspire generosity. The hosts explore how the spectacle of auctioneering mirrors the craft of brand storytelling — where emotion fuels engagement and exclusivity drives value. Jacqueline also breaks down the psychology of bidding wars, showing how urgency and competition can be engineered to influence consumer behavior. For CMOs, this episode is a reminder that your best-performing campaigns aren't just well-targeted — they're well-timed, emotionally resonant and charged with purpose. Whether you're building a global brand or leading a local charity gala, Episode 46 is your masterclass in energy, emotion and the art of engagement. Have an idea for a guest?

Disabile cognitivo. Una vicenda cruenta che si aggiunge ad altri episodi di violenza registrati negli ultimi giorni e sempre perpetrati da minorenni. Ne parliamo con la procuratrice dei Minori del capoluogo piemontese. A seguire ci occupiamo di un italiano che come Trentini è detenuto nelle carceri di Caracas. Si chiama Mario Burlò ed è un imprenditore. Infine commentiamo la notizia che giunge dal mondo dell'arte: il water d'oro di Cattelan va all'asta da Sotheby's per 10 milioni di euro.

They've already got the money, the houses, the jets – so why the fever when the bidding starts? Why the thrill of the gavel? In this Daily London Fix, we step inside Sotheby's, where wealth turns to theatre and possession becomes performance. From a Strand bookseller's auction in 1744 to today's multimillion-pound spectacles, it's part ritual, part sport, part confession. And – grace notes before the curtain falls – we discover why it's called Sotheby's, and why the man bringing down the hammer is, delightfully, named Barker.

Toys ‘R' Us, Nintendo, Sotheby's, Pirelli Tyres, Air France and your AI girlfriend are all having a rather bad week!

The world's most famous auction house was born on a quiet London street. From polite Georgian book sales to multi-million-pound bidding wars, Sotheby's has mirrored the city's rise from mercantile capital to cultural powerhouse.

It would spend centuries bothering Europe's first families before an English Duke gave it to Sotheby's for auction in 1969, and the legend of La Peregrina gained a brand-new chapter with a different kind of royalty.
