Syam Sundar has defeated the desert bandits, but the real mastermind is still out there!

A deadly assassination attempt, a brutal hit-and-run, and the ultimate mastermind revealed!

Baptisée « Crimson Thread », ou « Fil pourpre » en français, elle sera composée d'une route militaire longue de 22 kilomètres, bordée d'une tranchée profonde de quatre mètres et d'un haut remblai de terre. Cette barrière va couper plusieurs centaines de familles d'agriculteurs palestiniens de leurs terres. C'est déjà le cas pour certaines d'entre elles, dans ce secteur considéré comme le « grenier de la Cisjordanie ». De notre correspondante, de retour de la vallée du Jourdain, Des champs d'oliviers et des serres agricoles s'étirent jusqu'au fleuve Jourdain. Dans la vallée, des bulldozers israéliens retournent la terre fertile. « Ils construisent soi-disant une simple route, mais c'est faux. Ils veulent voler nos terres », se confie Thar, un berger de 35 ans. Il décrit les travaux en cours : « Sur place, il y a certes une route, mais tout le long, il y a une tranchée profonde de quatre mètres et un remblai haut de deux mètres. Je ne veux plus y retourner, au risque de me faire arrêter ou attaquer. » « Ce projet, ce n'est rien d'autre qu'une nouvelle barrière de séparation », dénonce-t-il. Inquiet, il observe son troupeau de 90 moutons. « Avec les travaux, ils m'ont coupé l'eau. On doit aller chercher de l'eau à deux kilomètres, de nuit, comme des voleurs. » Dans le village voisin d'Atouf, un agriculteur a, quant à lui, déjà perdu tout accès à ses terres : « J'ai perdu toutes mes cultures. Je ne peux plus aller récolter mes légumes. J'ai déjà perdu beaucoup d'argent, comme beaucoup d'autres agriculteurs.

Tous ont perdu leur emploi, faute d'accès aux champs. Cela représente trente familles de sept ou huit personnes chacune. L'agriculture est ici la première source de revenus. » Sur le tracé de la route militaire, toutes les infrastructures – granges, silos et entrepôts – seront également détruites. Abdallah Basharat, gouverneur des localités d'Atouf et de Ras Al Ahmar, explique : « Environ 300 familles sont concernées par des ordres d'expulsion ou de démolition de leurs infrastructures. Je me suis rendu devant la Cour de justice pour réclamer l'arrêt du projet, mais l'armée poursuit sa construction. » L'armée israélienne assure, de son côté, agir dans le respect de la loi.

What does Dolby Atmos actually mean in a car — and why does it matter more in a car than in your living room?In this episode of the evo India Podcast, Karan Grover, Senior Director at Dolby Labs, sits down with executive editor, Aatish Mishra to explain exactly how Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision work in cars, why a car is actually the most perfect listening environment Dolby has ever worked with, and why India is doing things in car audio that have never been done anywhere else in the world.The conversation covers the detail that will stop most people cold: AR Rahman composed 1,100 individual chimes for the Mahindra BE6 and BE9, all mixed in Dolby Atmos — so when a warning sound tells you there is an obstruction on your left, it genuinely comes from your left. That is not a gimmick. That is object-based audio design applied to a car's entire sound ecosystem.Karan explains how Dolby Atmos goes from a recording studio to a streaming platform to your car's speakers, why the car is the only listening environment where every speaker position and every seat position is fixed — which makes it the ideal space for Atmos tuning — and how Mahindra Auto became the first manufacturer in the world to put Dolby Atmos on a 4-channel non-branded speaker setup in the XUV 3XO. Mahindra also pushed Dolby to deliver Atmos on the Thar, previously thought impossible at that speaker configuration. Both were firsts. Both happened in India.The episode also covers the Mercedes-AMG GT63 Electric's synthesized V8 sound and whether it is tuned in Dolby Atmos, how EVs are changing the science of sound design because there is no engine masking the audio environment, why Apple CarPlay supports Atmos playback and what Android's recent update means for wireless Atmos in cars, and where car audio goes from here — including the possibility of film premieres in cars and Dolby Atmos eventually reaching buses, tractors and auto-rickshaws. He also talks about the various cars which have Dolby Atmos like the XUV 7XO, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris, Tata Sierra and more. Dolby currently works with 38 automobile manufacturers and over 150 car nameplates globally.

Darrell Castle talks about President Trump’s recent summit with Premier Xi in China and points out the similarities with President Nixon’s summit in China in 1972. Transcription / Notes NIXON WENT TO CHINA TOO Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 22nd day of May in the year of our Lord 2026. President Trump just completed a three-day historic summit with Premier Xi in China. He is not the first President to visit China since President Nixon made that trip in 1972 when China was a far different nation than today as it was in the throes of suffering through the Maoist revolution. This is the Friday before Memorial Day when we pause to remember the fallen and for most it is the start of a 3-day weekend, but for Joan and I it is a different sort of anniversary to remember. Forty-nine years ago, on this date we saw each other for the first time because we were introduced on a blind date with mutual friends. So, we met forty-nine years ago on this date and we have been together ever since but our actual anniversary, the forty-nine will be in December. This Memorial Day falls 81 years after the end of World War ll, seventy-seven years after the end of the Korean War, and fifty-one years after the end of the Vietnam War. I guess the other wars, the desert wars, are still going on. Since we are into a little nostalgia this week and to prevent burying the lead it was 54 years ago that Nixon made his historic trip to China. It was historic because China and the US, although friends in World War ll had been bitter enemies for 23 years or since the Maoist revolution. The governing principle upon which the Chinese government has been based for all those years now 77 has been that capitalism would inevitably fail, and communism would ultimately triumph around the world. The triumph would come by way of revolution as it did in China but with the aid of countries where the Communist revolution had already occurred. That principle explains why the real enemy of the Western forces fighting in Korea and Vietnam was China and Russia, not North Korea and North Vietnam. When Nixon arrived in China in 1972 the Communist Revolution had been ongoing since 1949 or 23 years but China had not fared well under Communism. It was a desperately poor, agrarian society in which the people were making little or no progress. There was very little indoor plumbing, especially in rural areas, and very little access to electricity. GDP per capita was barely at subsistence levels. Unlike today, China was technologically backward with a massive military but unable to technically compete. Trade with China was at $95.9 million and Nixon sought to build a bridge across the hostility of that world. He famously declared it “the week that changed the world.” President Clinton had a different approach to China because he apparently believed that massive technology transfers and resulting economic success would ease tensions and result in a more peaceful world. In 2000 he gave the Chinese PNTR or Permanent Normal Trade Relations and supported Chinese membership in the WTO or World Trade Organization in 2001. Before Chinese entry into the WTO the US-China trade deficit was about $83 billion but by 2015 it was $367 billion. Chinese imports into the US also surged massively with an estimated replacement of US jobs at about 2.4 to 3.4 million. Communities built in the US around the manufacture of electronics, clothing, furniture, automobiles, and other products were devastated and became just the rust belt. Nixon visited a weak, agrarian society but the new economic policies turned it into an economic and military superpower. Now President Trump has visited this country which has been hostile to the United States for 77 years. Trump's approach to negotiating is to assume he has the strength in the relationship and to use it to his advantage. Tariffs, export controls, global alliances, and military power are all used in an effort to help benefit US farmers, manufacturers, energy workers, and many others. I predict that Trump's trip to China will prove similar to Nixon's in some ways. They both sought direct personal negotiation producing tangible economic benefits to both sides with protection from dangerous strategic competition. There is a knowledge or at least an assumption that President Clinton's belief that economic success alone would moderate strategic behavior did not work and guardrails have to be installed and adhered to. Nixon engaged an impoverished third-world China for the purpose of using it to counter the Soviets. Trump engaged a powerful superpower to prevent it from obtaining or maintaining dominance in key areas. He got a public commitment from Xi to stop supplying weapons to Iran and to not aid in Iranian nuclear efforts. I have some thoughts on Xi's statement about Iranian efforts to develop nuclear weapons. In my view his statement meant nothing or it was what in the law is referred to as legal fiction. He said that Iran should not have nuclear weapons and Iran should reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Well of course for the world's economies the Strait should be reopened; a no brainer. Both sides know that nukes are not the reason for the attack on Iran and not the real reason for the continuation of the war. Thomas Massie just found out in his Republican primary what the real reason is. If the Israel lobby or the friends of Israel wants you out of congress then you are out of congress. There aren't many surviving Republicans who are not totally sold out the Israel lobby. Rand Paul is an example and Thomas Massie was another. So almost no Republicans and about the same number of Democrats although some Democrats seem to survive without total subservience. If there are grounds for optimism coming from the summit they can be found in Xi's public speech or at least that's how I see them. The English version of Xi's speech comes to me via George Friedman and his Geopolitical Futures so quoting Mr. Xi. “Honorable President Donald J. Trump, ladies and gentlemen, friends, looking back at the cause of China-U.S. relations, whether or not we could have mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation is the key to whether the relationship can advance steadily. The world today is changing and turbulent. China-U.S. relations concern the well-being of over 1,7 billion people of both countries and affect the interests of the over 8 billion people of the world. Both sides should rise up to this historic responsibility and steer the giant ship of China-U.S. relations forward steadily and in the right direction.” To me that statement says this is a multi-polar world and if we are to progress together and for the good of the world's people you must recognize that. If you are willing to do that then 77 years of hostility can end at least open hostility can end. President Trump probably had the speech examined by his China people and he probably pointed out the thousands of Chinese spies who occupy every university of note, every corporation of note and even hold political office. Yes the mayor of Alameda, California has confessed to being a Chinese agent. There are hardly any members of Congress or the Senate who haven't slept with at least one Chinese spy. Mr. Xi let me ask you this if the Chinese are so smart and so technologically proficient why do you have to steal your technology and your scientific advances from us. I'm just guessing but I imagine all those things were discussed. In short, China needs the American market to save its economy. In recent years economists have noted that Chinese domestic consumption has fallen off a cliff, but production is soaring. Thar means that China cannot absorb nearly enough of its production and needs the American market to do that. America needs China and Russia to help it find a face-saving exit from its war against Iran. You both control Iran and we will endeavor to control Netanyahu. To carry my point a little further Xi mentioned the Thucydides Trap in which the ancient Greek Geopolitical Thinker pointed out that when a rising power collides with an old power war is always the result. Xi said he hopes that can be avoided for China and the U.S. If that is the case and both sides want to avoid war then talking is at least the first step and a necessary one. To that end they have scheduled another summit for Washington in September, I think. Finally, folks, it seems to me that China has everything to lose and nothing to gain by war with the United States. George Friedman pointed out the fact that he mentioned Thucydides but did not mention Lenin, or Marx, and to me that's pretty significant and could mean a turning away from 77 years of false assumptions. Why are these two men meeting and negotiating, well, I think necessity is the mother of invention and right now they need each other. At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

Tháinig ardú de bhreis agus 14 faoin gcéad ar an líon daoine a bhí dífhostaithe sa Stát sa chéad ráithe den bhliain i gcomparáid leis an ráithe chéanna anuraidh, de réir figiúirí nua ón bPríomh-Oifig Staidrimh. 141,800 people were unemployed in the first three months of 2026, an increase of 17,600 from last year, and brings the unemployment rate to 4.9%. 141,800 duine a bhí dífhostaithe sa chéad trí mhí de 2026, sin ardú de 17,600 ó anuraidh, agus fágann sé gur 4.9 faoin gcéad atá sa ráta dífhostaíochta. More than any other sector, the information and communications sector saw the largest drop in employment – 20,300 fewer than last year, a drop of 10.7%. Thar aon earnáil eile, ba san earnáil faisnéise agus cumarsáide bhí an titim ba mhó sa líon fostaithe – 20,300 níos lú ná anuraidh, ar titim de 10.7 faoin gcéad é sin. 80% of those people were programmers and consultants, according to the figures. Ríomhchláraitheoirí agus comhairleoirí ab ea 80 faoin gcéad de na daoine sin, de réir na bhfigiúirí. Conversely, the number of people employed also increased in the first quarter of the year. Os a choinne sin, tháinig ardú chomh maith ar an líon daoine a bhí fostaithe sa chéad ráithe den bhliain. It was a very small increase, 400 people, and it leaves 2,794,500 people employed in the State in the first three months of 2026. Ardú an-bheag a bhí ann, 400 duine, agus fágann sé go raibh 2,794,500 duine fostaithe sa Stát sa chéad trí mhí de 2026. Since it is such a small increase, statisticians do not include it as a percentage. Ós ardú chomh beag sin é, más ea, ní áiríonn lucht staidrimh é go céatadánach.

DEFENDANT: Herman Melville  EVIDENCE: Melville Estate Pinot Noir SCENE OF THE CRIME: Santa Rita Hills, and the Big Blue Sea -- Hey friend — pour yourself a glass and come sit with us. In this episode Judge Topher and Judge Rachel finally introduce themselves (yes, really) and then proceed to hijack a $75 Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir, talk glassware, sniff cherries, sage, pepper and a little eucalyptus, and declare that yes: this bottle is absolutely worth the fuss.   We wander from tasting notes (garnet color, plums, violets, forest-floor complexity) to winery vibes — estate-grown, sustainable farming, family stories — then slip into full literary chaos as we roast, admire, and gently disembowel Herman Melville. Expect idle mutiny, a ridiculous cross‑examination quiz, surprising Melville facts (Mocha Dick!), and the sacred power of the line "Call me Ishmael."   There's a lot of laughing, a little spilled wine, a bonus boxed-Pinot for scientific — ahem, comparative — purposes, and lots of off‑topic delights: antique store finds, dog shenanigans (Hermes is a star), and the kind of tangents you only get when two people drink nice wine and refuse to act like sober adults.   By the end we deliver our verdict: not guilty — this Pinot is a winner. Whether you're here for the wine geekery, the Melville deep dive, or just to feel like you're in the room with two pals roasting each other and solving the mysteries of the sea, this episode's for you. Tell us your White Whale (or your favorite Pinot) — we'll trade you a story and maybe some podcast swag if you're brave.

The Aravallis are the green lungs of northern India. They are a defensive wall that protects the fertile Indo-Gangetic plains from desertification – from an eastward expansion of the Thar desert.  But over the years, commercial exploitation has put this fragile ecosystem under immense strain. On November 20th, the Supreme Court ruled that only Aravalli hills above 100 metres tall would enjoy environmental protection. This created a major public outcry, with people pointing out that in Rajasthan's Aravallis alone, barely 1,048 hills out of 12,081, would qualify. In other words, most of the Aravallis would be exempted from any environmental protection.  On December 28, the Supreme Court stayed its own order. It has also mooted the constitution of a new panel of experts to study the issue more closely, especially the prospects for what it calls “sustainable mining”.  Is sustainable mining of the Aravallis possible? And how can we ensure that they receive at least the bare minimum of environmental protection?  Guest: Kanchi Kohli, well known expert in environment and forest policy Host: G.
