In 1995, an international row broke out between Canada and Spain over fishing quotas. It started with gunfire and ended with a deal.The dispute began after Canada set up restrictions to protect fish stocks, including the turbot. A 320km (200 mile) controlled zone was placed around the country's north Atlantic coast. Fishermen also had to stick to quotas. But, according to Canada, some boats from the European Union were catching far more turbot than had been agreed. As a warning, the coastguard chased off one Spanish trawler, shooting machine gunfire over the bow and arresting the crew. But Spanish officials were furious and denied any wrongdoing. The Turbot War had begun. Brian Tobin was Canada's Minister for Fisheries and Oceans. He tells Jane Wilkinson about the part he played in the dispute.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

It was a week that brought the future of Greece and the Eurozone to the brink. Ten years ago, on 6 July the Greek people voted against the terms of a financial bailout which included raising taxes and slashing welfare spending. Greece owed €323bn to various countries and banks within Europe. Its banks were closed. A quarter of the population and half of Greece's young people were unemployed.The morning after the vote, Euclid Tsakalotos was brought in to replace Yanis Varoufakis as finance minister. His predecessor had accused European leaders of “terrorism” in their handling of the crisis. Parachuted in to last-ditch talks with angry European leaders, Euclid Tsakalotos describes to Josephine McDermott the make-or-break 17-hour summit in Brussels. He reveals that when Angela Merkel, the leader of Greece's biggest lender Germany, said she was leaving the room because she could not accept what was on the table, Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, actually locked the door to stop her leaving and force an agreement to be reached.

Go behind the music and uncover the secrets of one of the world's most iconic supergroups. In this episode, award-winning Swedish music journalist Jan Gradvall joins us to reveal The Story of ABBA, drawing from his new book, "The Story of ABBA: Melancholy Undercover." We explore the fascinating human drama, the cultural clashes, and the surprising musical genius that propelled a band from Sweden to global domination. What is the shocking truth behind their happiest songs? Jan Gradvall, who has interviewed all four members, pulls back the curtain on the legends.From their formation as two couples who stumbled into a magical sound, to their complex journey through the pop world, this is The Story of ABBA as you've never heard it before. We start with their detailed ABBA Eurovision History, from the 1973 competition they lost in Sweden with "Ring Ring" to their game-changing 1974 victory with "Waterloo"—a glam-rock-infused pop track that broke the mold. Jan explains how the band faced intense opposition from the ABBA Progg Movement, a left-wing cultural force in Sweden that despised their commercial, capitalist sound and questioned their art. This deep dive uncovers the core of their unique sound, a concept Benny Andersson calls "Melancholy Undercover." Learn how the long, dark Scandinavian winters infused their music with a deep Swedish Melancholy in Music, creating a bittersweet feeling even in their most upbeat anthems, a sound rooted in Swedish folk traditions and Benny's accordion.Beyond the cultural context, we explore the incredible and often overlooked talent of Agnetha Fältskog, musician. While many focused on her looks, Agnetha was the only member who could read music, an accomplished classical piano player, and a prolific songwriter in her own right. Jan Gradvall shares insights from his personal interviews with all four members, revealing why Björn Ulvaeus can't remember being on tour and how the rhythm for "Take a Chance on Me" came from the sound of him jogging. We discuss how the band never officially broke up, the 90s revival sparked by the gay community and artists like Kurt Cobain, and the origins of global phenomena like the musical Chess and the stage and film sensation Mamma Mia. This is the definitive inside look at the band's journey, their conflicts, their creative process, and how they became more popular today than ever before.ABOUT OUR GUEST:Jan Gradvall is an award-winning writer and one of Sweden's most respected music journalists. With over 40 years of experience, he has cultivated a close journalistic relationship with ABBA, having been the first journalist to conduct in-depth interviews with all four members for a single story. He is also an instrumental founder of the Swedish Music Hall of Fame. His book, "The Story of ABBA: Melancholy Undercover," is built on his decades of work and unique access to the band.TIMESTAMPS / CHAPTERS:(00:00) Introduction to ABBA's Hidden Story(02:09) ABBA's Eurovision History: From 'Ring Ring' to 'Waterloo'(07:30) Clashing with the Culture: ABBA vs. Sweden's 'Progg' Movement(10:26) Before the Supergroup: ABBA's Roots in Swedish Folk and Rock(12:44) Melancholy Undercover: The Swedish Soul of ABBA's Music(14:43) Decoding 'Tourist English': The Charm of ABBA's Lyrical Style(16:50) More Than an Image: The Overlooked Musical Talents of Agnetha Fältskog(30:09) A Hiatus, Not a Breakup: ABBA's Unofficial Split and 90s Revival(34:55) The Mamma Mia Phenomenon: From a Daring Idea to a Global Sensation(40:39) The Enduring Legacy: The ABBA Museum and the 'ABBA Voyage' ExperienceGet Jan Gradvall's Book, "The Story of ABBA: Melancholy Undercover":  https://amzn.to/46M3Qpn

Synopsis: What do courtroom litigation, computational biology, and fibrosis drug development have in common? In this episode of Biotech 2050, host Alok Tayi speaks with Ahmed Mousa, CEO of Vicore Pharma, to explore his unconventional journey from biotech law to the C-suite. Ahmed shares how Vicore is advancing a first-in-class therapy targeting the angiotensin II type 2 receptor to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)—a devastating disease with limited options and poor survival. The conversation dives into how AI is reshaping drug discovery, the promise of precision in early-stage candidate design, and the regulatory and data challenges biotech must overcome. Ahmed also reflects on leading a Swedish-listed biotech as an American CEO, and how a patient-first mission continues to fuel bold innovation across continents. Biography: Ahmed Mousa is the Chief Executive Officer of Vicore Pharma (VICO.ST), where he leads the company's mission to advance angiotensin II type 2 receptor agonists for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and other serious diseases. Under his leadership, Vicore continues to expand its clinical pipeline and global presence in respiratory and fibrotic diseases. Previously, Ahmed served as Senior Vice President, Chief Business Officer, and General Counsel at Pieris Pharmaceuticals (PIRS). In this role, he was the site head for the company's Boston office and oversaw business development, portfolio strategy, centralized project leadership, and quality assurance. He also led Pieris' legal and intellectual property functions, including licensing, corporate governance, and management of the company's global patent portfolio. Before joining Pieris, Ahmed was an attorney at Covington & Burling LLP, where he advised pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies on a range of regulatory and intellectual property matters. He also served as a law clerk for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and began his legal career as an IP associate at Kirkland & Ellis LLP. Ahmed holds dual undergraduate degrees in Molecular Biology and Government from Cornell University, a Master's in Biotechnology from Johns Hopkins University, and a J.D. with honors from Georgetown Law, where he was Editor-in-Chief of the Georgetown Journal of International Law.

Humans have periods of great success followed by decline and eventual collapse. It's what we do. Golden Ages lose their shine. We are living in the greatest Golden Age of all time and what happens next for us isn't fate, it's a choice says Swedish historian, lecturer and commentator Johan Norberg. He mines lessons from golden ages of the past to help keep our present one going longer in his new book, Peak Human, What We Can Learn from the Rise and Fall of Golden Ages.

Title: S7EP7, Life of a Divorced Kid, Balancing Two Different Worlds with Anthony J Mohr Summary: Tony's father was a gregarious, radio and tv star. Tony listened to his voice on the radio at night as he went to sleep. As he got older, he got to know his father better. When his parents divorced, his world shattered. Where was Dad and why was Mom unhappy? Tony's advice to parents who are divorcing. Get your kids into therapy. They may seem fine on the outside, but on the inside they could be confused, sad, angry, or afraid. Tony luckily had an actor/teacher who understood what he was going through and took him under his wing. When Tony's parents both remarried, he learned to balance between the two different households. Which was right, better or more desirable? Read Tony's book, "Every Other Weekend," to learn more about Beverly Hills in the 50's and 60's, life in Old Hollywood, and how Tony navigated between successful Stan and Gregarious Gerald. Bio: Author and retired judge Anthony Mohr knew his childhood and adolescence were different from most other kids his age. In Every Other Weekend: Coming of Age with Two Different Dads (Koehler Books), Anthony Mohr offers a poignant and compassionate portrait of two larger-than-life men – his actor father Gerald Mohr and inventor stepfather Stanley Dashew – and what it was like growing up in a blended family at a time when divorce was rare and considered shocking. He would make a great guest on Getting Real With Hilary. Mohr's days were littered with celebrities and parties; living abroad for film and TV shoots; even appearances in TV episodes, all courtesy of his radio and screen actor father Gerald Mohr. After Gerald Mohr leaves his family for another woman, his mother later marries businessman Stanley Dashew. Delivering a unique perspective on growing up in Beverly Hills in the 1950s and 60s, Anthony tracks his stepfather's career successes and his biological father's failures as he tries to find his place in the world. One weekend he's sailing on his stepfather's fifty-eight-foot catamaran; the next, his Swedish stepmother tells him that they're poor. Every Other Weekend sees Anthony finding his place at the edge of what others regard as a dream world, a place where reality and fantasy blend, maps lead to the homes of the stars, and obstacles abound.

In front of an audience at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, the veteran Swedish actor reflects working with everyone from Ingmar Bergman to David Fincher, moving between art house projects (e.g. his five collaborations with Lars von Trier) and studio fare ('Dune,' 'Mamma Mia!,' 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and five MCU installments), and why he's particularly proud of his latest film, Joachim Trier's Cannes' Grand Prize winner in which he plays an aging filmmaker who has a complicated relationship with his two daughters.

Send us a textBjörn Kaidel (Akleja, Plønk) joins Nordic Sound #55 to talk about how the Scandinavian folk revival of recent decades is leading to renewed interest among German musicians to reclaim a folk music tradition of their own. Diving deeper, Björn and Jameson discuss the importance of medieval folk/rock bands such as In Extremo and Faun in keeping some semblance of folk music alive in Germany, how the folk revival is using archival work and manuscripts to reclaim a lost tradition, and the old connections between all folk musics of Europe and beyond before they became a matter of national identity. Of course, we then tie all of this together in talking about Björn's project Plønk and the reclaiming of the Waldzither as a German folk instrument, and his work with his wife in Akleja that could fool anyone into believing he's Swedish (the name Björn doesn't hurt).Timestamps:0:00 Overture1:59 Introductions5:50 Getting into Scandifolk11:11 Where's the German folk music scene?44:02 Why Folk Music?51:24 Plønk and the Waldzither1:08:32 AklejaSupport the showThe Nordic Sound is supported by its patrons over on Patreon.com/nordicsound BarMonicaEmberGeorgeBetsCarrieGenLeighMikeCindyClaytonDrakeEricJamieJuliaMaryMichaelMichaelSeanSimonTonyYou too can support the project at patreon.com/nordicsound

presentera sina idéer för hotellets ledning.En: Summer would soon yield to fall, and they needed to present their ideas to the hotel's management.Sv: En kväll satte sig Sofia ned vid ett provisoriskt bord, omgiven av isblock som glimrade i sommarsolens varma ljus.En: One evening, Sofia sat down at a makeshift table, surrounded by ice blocks that shimmered in the warm light of the summer sun.Sv:

tillbaka, men mitt i kaoset började de förstå varandra.En: It became intense, words flew back and forth, but amidst the chaos, they began to understand each other.Sv: Sofia förklarade sina visioner

fantasi och ingenjörskonst.En: The ice top gleamed in the summer night, a work of art of both imagination and engineering.Sv: När hotellets ledning senare kom för en förhandsvisning, stirrade de i

In 1982, Argentine geneticist Victor Penchaszadeh was living in exile in New York when he received a call that would change the course of his career. Two founding members of the campaign group, the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, were asking for his help to find their kidnapped grandchildren. Between 1976 and 1983, Argentina was under military rule. During this period, thousands of mainly young, left-wing people were forcibly disappeared - taken to clandestine detention centres, where many were tortured and killed. Hundreds of babies were born in captivity. Their mothers were later murdered, and the children were often given to families with ties to the regime - and never told their true identities. The Grandmothers travelled the world, desperately asking scientists one question: Without the presence of the parents, could their blood be used to identify their lost grandchildren? Dr Penchaszadeh was the first to say yes. He tells Vicky Farncombe how that answer led to the creation of the world's first national genetic data bank—and the eventual reunion of 140 grandchildren with their real families.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

In 1999, Swedish medical student, Anna Bågenholm, was skiing in Norway with friends when she fell through a frozen stream and became trapped under a thick layer of ice. Unable to free herself, and forced to wait for rescue, her body temperature quickly fell to 13.7°C (56.7°F) and she fell unconscious. 80 minutes later, Bågenholm was brought to the surface by rescuers, clinically dead. But that is not the end of Anna's story...

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Freedom wasn't granted—it was seized through blood, sweat, and unwavering resistance. Across the Dutch and Danish Caribbean colonies, enslaved Africans fought against brutal systems of oppression that are often overshadowed in mainstream historical narratives focused on British, Spanish, and French colonial powers.When thousands gathered in St. Croix on July 2nd, 1848, led by freedom fighter General Buddhoe (Moses Gottlieb), they weren't asking politely for their liberation. They threatened to burn Frederiksted to the ground, forcing the Danish governor to declare immediate emancipation. This powerful act of collective resistance is why July 3rd remains sacred in the U.S. Virgin Islands, commemorated through Freedom Week celebrations that honor ancestral sacrifice and triumph.Meanwhile, in the Dutch Caribbean territories like Suriname, Curaçao, and Aruba, emancipation arrived decades later in 1863—and even then with the cruel stipulation that the formerly enslaved would be required to work an additional decade on the plantations where they had suffered. This delayed freedom, finally realized in 1873, is now celebrated as "Keti Koti" (the chain is broken), a powerful testament to resilience against Dutch colonial brutality. The colonial footprints of the Netherlands and Denmark—alongside brief periods of Swedish and Portuguese occupation—remain etched in Caribbean legal systems, languages, demographics, and collective consciousness. By amplifying these overlooked histories, we honor the full spectrum of Caribbean resistance and recognize that every Emancipation Day represents a hard-won victory by those who refused to accept bondage as their fate. Our ancestors' struggle for dignity continues to illuminate our path forward.Support the showConnect with Strictly Facts - Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | Website Looking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

Mita wanted an "underrated, international musical". So, Chat GPT picked the 2013 Swedish drama, "We Are The Best!" for the next movie review. Never heard of it? Neither had Mita and Nadeem. They make up for it by talking about how hot Brad Pitt is. 

When Eva Peron, Argentina's most famous First Lady, died in 1952, her body was embalmed. Three years later, her widower, Juan Peron, was deposed in a coup. But military officers feared her corpse would become a rallying point of protest against the new government. So they stole it. Over the next few decades, Evita's body was stored in several different places in several different countries, inspiring wild stories about its supernatural powers. In 2013, Linda Pressly spoke to Domingo Tellechea, the art restorer charged with repairing the embalmed body.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

In 1985, Argentina's former military leaders were put on trial accused of kidnapping, torturing and murdering thousands of their own people. The ‘trial of the juntas' was the first major prosecution of war crimes since the Nuremberg trials following World War Two. Between 1976 and 1983, around 30 thousand people disappeared or were murdered in Argentina during the so-called Dirty War. Military leaders claimed the victims were left wing guerrillas plotting terrorist attacks against their dictatorships, but most weren't terrorists. They were trade unionists or protesters opposing the regime.Luis Moreno Ocampo was an assistant prosecutor during the trial and spoke to Jane Wilkinson about the case.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

ARCHIVAL episode originally released Apr 19, 2024In this archival episode of the Mind Shift Podcast, Aaron McManus and his father, Erwin McManus, dive into a conversation about staying centered in a chaotic world. They reflect on the difference between internal character and external appearances, highlighting how what's within shapes the world around us. Erwin shares insights on the challenges of remaining focused amidst cultural, political, and economic distractions, especially on the West Coast. They explore how the identity of a place is shaped by factors like roads, taxes, and weather, and how these external realities often mirror deeper societal struggles.The discussion turns to global influences as Erwin shares a story from his wife, Kim, who works with refugees and recently met three people financed by George Soros and the Catholic Church to migrate illegally to the U.S. Aaron and Erwin unpack the implications of these stories, questioning global power structures and the surprising consistency of these refugee accounts. Aaron points out that Soros is linked to funding various political actors, a fact some consider evidence of his negative influence. The conversation highlights the fine line between conspiracies and hidden truths in the modern political landscape.Aaron reflects on growing up as a pastor's kid and developing a heightened sensitivity to spiritual darkness, sharing how certain dark music and art still unsettle him. Erwin adds his own childhood story of avoiding a KISS concert due to fears of satanic influence, leading to a broader discussion on how dark media shapes minds and souls. They emphasize the importance of guarding what we consume visually and aurally, suggesting that internal peace and spiritual health are deeply connected to the media and art we allow into our lives.The conversation deepens as they discuss cultural shifts in defining good and evil. Erwin explains that evil is when we make destructive choices against others, while sin is making destructive choices against ourselves. They explore societal trends, including controversial topics like gender transitions in children, reflecting on the long-term spiritual and psychological consequences. Erwin argues that the greatest evil is when innocence is intentionally destroyed, while Aaron reflects on humanity's natural tendency to simplify life into binaries of darkness and light, urging listeners to actively choose goodness in their daily lives.Finally, Aaron shares a story of a Swedish speaker quoting Jesus to frame her talk on AI, illustrating how empathy rooted in Jesus' teachings can guide us toward goodness, regardless of religious belief. Erwin explains that redemption through Jesus realigns us with our original intention to reflect God's goodness in the world. They close by discussing the power of choice in creating beauty and purpose, emphasizing personal responsibility in shaping society for the better. This episode is a powerful call to live intentionally, engage deeply, and create good in a world full of distractions and moral complexities.
