Jason Ditz, senior editor of Antiwar.com, joins the show to provide an update on what's been happening in Iraq. They start with a look at Iraqi politics. An election was held in October, but the numerous factions have hit a wall in their attempt to form a government. That being said, Ditz does not think anyone is inclined to unilaterally seize power any time soon. Next, they turn to the recent Turkish offensive against the PKK in northern Iraq. Turkey claims they have the support of Iraqi officials, yet those same officials quickly came out against the campaign. Lastly, they touch on some intra-Shi'ite violence concerning gravesites that Ditz has been reporting on at Antiwar.com.      NOTE: After recording the above episode, Iraq's political situation continues to deteriorate with Sadr now ruling out a consensus government.

Sweden has announced its intent to apply for NATO membership in an historic break with its neutral security policy in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And Turkey is closely watching Pennsylvania's Senate race as Dr. Mehmet Oz, a dual Turkish and US citizen, edges ahead in recent polls for the state's Republican primary on Tuesday. Opponents accuse the TV-doctor-turned-politician of conflicting loyalties. Plus, the mass shooting in Buffalo, New York, over the weekend is not simply a domestic phenomenon. A growing, global network of extremists online played an important role in the shooter's radicalization.

In today's episode, I'm reflecting on my language learner journey so far so that I can decide what worked well in the past, and what I no longer want to do. This will help me to have a more productive and enjoyable experience of learning Romanian - because I can review what I've learned through studying German and Turkish. Do you relate to any of these points? If you'd rather read my article on the lessons I've learned, it's available on my blog. Alternatively, you can visit the show notes page.

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1904 Birth of Salvador Dalí, Spanish surrealist artist. Educated in Madrid, Salvador was a son of Catalonia, and he never lost his love for the beauty of his homeland. Early in his career, Salvador gravitated toward surrealism. By 1929, Salvador Dali was regarded as a leading figure in the art form.  Like Sigmund Freud, Salvador Dalí used the landscape to metaphor the human mind. He once said about the coastline of his beloved Catalonia, I personify the living core of this landscape. Today, two museums are devoted to Salvador Dalí's work: the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, Spain, and the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. And in 2020, the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, Florida, presented Salvador Dalí: Gardens of the Mind. The exhibit's centerpiece was Flordalí, a fantastically-colored series of flower lithographs from 1968. In Flordali, Salvador created imaginary surrealist enhancements to favorite blossoms. He made Dahlia unicorns, which feature a twisted horn in the middle of the bloom.  Lilium musicum has vinyl records and sheet music for petals. Pisum sensuale is a sensory plant with fingers with painted nails and voluptuous lips. Panseé (Viola cogitans) is a self-portrait with pansies for the eyes and mouth.    1907 On this day, the American botanist Nathaniel Lord Britton was in Nantucket preparing for a lecture on plant protection. Nathaniel had brought along fifty colored lantern slides from the Van Brunt collection to use in his presentation. Nathaniel and his wife co-founded the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, New York.  Nathaniel's time in Nantucket was brief - only for a day - but he wrote these observations in a letter about his trip. [On Nantucket] The mayflower is the most abundant of spring wildflowers, carpeting the moors on the south side of the island and lending a rich, spicy fragrance to the ocean breezes that sweep over these exposed tracts. It is in less danger from picking than from the surface fires, which are common occurrences in spring.  The later blooming wildflowers suffer more or less at the hands of summer tourists, but I was glad to observe that the residents of Nantucket as a whole are keenly alive to the importance of preserving the natural beauties of the island and carefully guard the localities for many rare plants, especially the Scotch heather and the two European heaths (Erica cinerea and E. tetralix) which occur there.   1923 On this day, a schoolyard garden reported outside of Lochness gave the following update, As sheep are constantly breaking into the garden work has been stopped till the walls are rendered sheep-proof.   This little entry was discovered by the modern-day owner of the property Katharine Stewart, and she shared it in her delightful month by month garden book called A Garden in the Hills (2006).  Katharine reflected on the journal entry regarding the sheep and wrote, I know exactly what he meant. More than sixty years later, the sheep, the more agile variety, are still sometimes managing to leap over the wall, where the superimposed netting has given way. That can mean goodbye to all the summer lettuce and the winter greens, not to mention the precious flowering plants and all the work that went into producing them.   The little school in the Scottish highlands closed in 1958. A few years later, Katharine and her husband, Sam, bought the property known as the croft at Abriachan near Loch Ness. There, Katharine began her writing. Reflecting on her first days in the garden at the croft, Katharine wrote, When we arrived, wild raspberries, willowherb, and sweet cicely had largely taken over. To bees and butterflies and to many kinds of birds, this was paradise! For us, it held all the thrill of uncharted territory. Every day a fresh discovery was made. Even now, I come on surprises each summer. Digging [has] revealed many other interesting things-worn-out toys, pieces of pottery, a pile of school slates from a dump against the top wall, evidently discarded when jotters came in-and, most interesting of all, several 'scrapers' dating from prehistoric times.  Meanwhile, I often imagine my predecessors here looking on the same outline of hills, the same scoop of the burn in the hollow, listening to the same sounds of lark and owl, the bark of deer, and many more long gone-the howl of wolf, maybe the growl of bear. The heather would have been their late summer delight, making drinks of tea or ale, thatching for their roofs, and kindling for their fires.  Sometimes envy them the simplicity of their lives, though the hardships must have been great. They didn't have a Christmas to celebrate, but they knew all about the winter solstice, and they must have been happy to see the bright berries on the holly, as we do today.   Late in life, Katharine Stewart went on to become a teacher and then her town's postmistress. She died in 2013 and is survived by her daughter, Hilda.   1940 Birth of Margaret Visser, South African-born writer, and broadcaster who lives in Toronto, Paris, and southwest France. Margaret writes about history and anthropology and the mythology of everyday life. She once wrote, Salt is the only rock directly consumed by man.  It corrodes but preserves, desiccates but is wrested from the water. It has fascinated man for thousands of years not only as a substance he prized and was willing to labour to obtain but also as a generator of poetic and of mythic meaning. The contradictions it embodies only intensify its power and its links with experience of the sacred.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation The Little Library Cookbook by Kate Young This book came out in 2018, and the British food writer and author Bee Wilson gushed, What a joy this is for hungry readers everywhere: stylish, fun, and clever.

Newspapers said that during a severe hailstorm, a six-inch-by-eight-inch gopher turtle, fell to the ground, completely encased in ice, at Bovina, which is located about seven miles east of Vicksburg in western Mississippi.    Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

The Supreme Court's ruling on abortion: The spearhead of a massive assault on democratic rights / Following yesterday's general strike, Sri Lankan president imposes state of emergency / Turkish doctors nationwide strike as prices explode

Turkey is becoming a prime destination for Russians seeking to escape crackdowns by President Vladimir Putin and the effects of global economic sanctions. Turkey remains one of the few countries where Russian airplanes can fly, and where Russian passport holders can enter without visas. Andre, not his real name, makes a cup of his favorite Russian tea for his Turkish hosts. Sipping the strong black brew offers a "taste of home, he says. Andre fled to Istanbul last month as rumours spread of nationwide conscription.  "When I received the news that there might be conscription, I had just two hours to take my things and go," he explains. "I know people are trying to leave Russia; police started to talk with them; 'why are you going'?" Andre says with Russia becoming a country of fear for those who oppose the war in Ukraine, there is now a growing exodus. "A lot of people left Russia; people who cannot leave are just silenced somehow. I know friends who just wrote something on their social media and police came to their houses. "My friends are careful, and most of them have already left Russia, But I know that there are situations where police stop on them the streets and check their phones. It's just a nervous situation for all of us." Popular city Istanbul is an increasingly popular destination for those escaping Putin's Russia. "I chose Istanbul because it's not so far. I already knew something about this city," Andre explains. "Istanbul has similar prices as in Russia, and I have connections here ... I can hear the Russian language everywhere." Istanbul has historical ties with Russia and a long tradition of hosting Russians escaping their country's turmoil. In the Karakoy district, Russian orthodox churches are a common sight. And one of the city's oldest and most prestigious restaurants was founded by refugees from the Bolshevik revolution. Uncertain fate of Turkish drones, a prominent symbol of Ukrainian resistance Today, Turkey is one of the few remaining countries where Russian planes can fly to. It also offers visa-free travel. That also makes it a popular destination for Russians seeking a way into EU countries. This Russian exile, who also declined to give his name, says he left just in time. "I read the news, and I think that the borders will be closed. I think it's the last chance to move," he said. "You can easily come to Europe from Russia. You just firstly go to Istanbul and then to Europe. I have met many Russians here many friends of mine are in other countries. They just traveled and decided not to go back." Properties Many Russians are now buying properties in Turkey. That allows them to secure their savings and even Turkish citizenship for themselves and their family. "For citizenship, via investment program, you can buy like one or two properties, depending on your budget, but it should be fitting to 250 thousand dollars," explains Alex Cihanoglu, a real estate agent at the Istanbul-based Property Istanbul. Istanbul is witnessing a property boom, says Cihanoglu, given that Turkey is uniquely placed for Russians seeking a way out. "Nowadays, there are only five countries to which Russians can travel, and one of them is Turkey," said Cihanoglu. Ankara earns new friends thanks to efforts to end Ukraine war Even Russia's exclusion from the SWIFT money transfer system is not proving an obstacle to buying property here. "There are a lot of people stuck with transferring money," said Cihanoglu, "But there is always, especially cryptocurrency is one of the best ways to move their money to Turkey. So, of course, it's a big destination where people want to park their money." European dream But Andre has no plans to settle in Istanbul, even if he had the funds to buy a home. Instead, he says he plans to move on to Europe and establish a new life there, but his thoughts are with the family and country he left behind. "I am thinking about them every day and making calls; I am writing them almost every day," he said. "Actually, I want to take them from Russia, but I don't know I will be able to do it or have just hope Russia can change in the next five or ten years. I cannot imagine how long it takes; it already looks like the bad years of the USSR. For me, it's like the death of Russia." But for now, Andre spends his time in Istanbul counting on the support of locals and a growing network of Russians for whom Turkey has become a refuge.

This week the EU proposed the toughest package of sanctions yet against Russia for its war in Ukraine, including an embargo on Russian oil. However, some member states are worried about the impact on their own economies, and the EU has had to tweak its sanctions plan in a bid to win them over. As of Friday night there was still no green light in sight. Yannis Palaiologos, Kathimerini's Brussels correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis with the latest analysis. Read Yannis Palaiologos' recent interview with European Council President Charles Michel: Michel confident EU states will adopt sanctions against Russia, urges Turkey to align with bloc's policyYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:EU rewrites oil ban to give Hungary, Slovakia and Czech Republic more timeEU tweaks Russia oil sanctions plan in bid to win over reluctant statesEU must heed Greece, Malta, Cyprus concerns on oil banBulgaria and Greece plan joint gas purchasesDr. Oz's vote in 2018 Turkish election renews criticismPompeo holds briefing to raise concerns over Trump-backed Senate candidate in Pennsylvania

Almost every listener will be familiar with the Turkish-made TB-2 Bayraktar drone. Most will have seen the many reports of its operational effectiveness in the hands of Ukrainian forces defending against Russia's invasion of their country. But beyond that media coverage, the story of the drone's development, its particular capabilities, and its performance not just in Ukraine but in other recent conflict, as well, is an interesting one. To discuss these topics and explore the broader implications of the TB-2's effectiveness in Ukraine, John Amble is joined on this episode by Dr. Can Kasapoglu, director of the Security and Defense Studies Program at EDAM, a Turkish think tank, and a nonresident fellow at the Jamestown Foundation.

A Wellington man who claims police threatened to trespass him from an Anzac Day memorial if he displayed an Armenian flag in memory of genocide victims says it is "shameful". He says it's kowtowing to an authoritarian Turkish regime, while a lawyer says it tramples on fundamental human rights. Hamish Cardwell has more.

On this National Day of Prayer, Biden continues to suggest the “extremist” position is one of returning issues not passed by Congress or written into the Constitution, as issues states should decide. If that makes Stigall and extremist, he suggests we should embrace it.  Wait until you hear how former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy suggests Republicans talk about the Roe v. Wade decision.  Spoiler alert – he's going to sound more MAGA than most Republicans!  Also, is Dr. Oz in political trouble now that new details about his Turkish citizenship have emerged?  Wait until you hear Andy's analysis of this.  Plus Paris Denard from the GOP says we need ot man our battle stations and discuss the real issues facing the country as the Dow plunges and gas prices and interest rates soar. 

We're taking you to the Aegean today, where Turkey's provocations have reached unprecedented levels. Just on one day last week, Greece registered 168 airspace violations and 42 illegal overflights over Greek islands by Turkish jets. Expert Constantinos Filis, the Director of the Institute of Global Affairs and an associate professor of international relations at the American College of Greece, joins Thanos Davelis to explain why Turkey has chosen to escalate tensions over the Aegean, and explore whether we should expect a tense summer for Greek-Turkish relations.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greece says Turkey's airspace incursions ‘unprecedented'Turkey antagonizing Greece at every opportunityAnkara stance linked to dismay with USTurkish jet violations escalateForeign ministers of 3+1 scheme to meet via video call on MondayMDCA with US submitted to ParliamentMitsotakis: Households to get 60% rebate on extra electricity costs from December to May

This episode is with Rabbi Mendy Chitrik. He's been the Chief Rabbi of the Ashkenazi Jewish community of Turkey since 2003 and has also been the chairman of the Alliance of Rabbis in Islamic States since 2019.

In addition, he is a field representative for the OU and other major kosher organizations, a shochet, Sofer and a mohel. Rabbi Chitrik has published several books on Jewish life in Turkish and, being fluent in six languages, Rabbi Chitrik is likely the last rabbi in the world to deliver a weekly Torah class in Ladino.

Oil giant BP booked bumper underlying profits despite a big loss on its exit from Russia. We explore whether oil firms are likely to face windfall taxes on their profits, after Italy increased such a tax, with Dr Sandy Hager, a political economist at City, University of London. Leaked documents in the US have suggested the Supreme Court could be heading towards revoking the historic Roe vs Wade judgement from the 1970s that legalised abortion in the country. Just prior to that news and the political outcry that's followed, Amazon has more quietly told staff it would contribute up to $4,000 in travel expenses for employees seeking to get abortions, as well as certain other treatments. The move will help workers in states like Texas where most abortions have now been illegalised. We hear from Anthony Johndrow, who advises businesses, including tech firms, on their social issue positioning. Also in the programme, the BBC's Mike Johnson examines why Turkey is seeking to rebrand itself with its Turkish name, Türkiye. Ed Butler is joined throughout the programme by Sarah Birke, The Economist's Bureau Chief in Mexico and Robin Harding, Tokyo bureau chief for the Financial Times.

Oil giant BP booked bumper underlying profits despite a big loss on its exit from Russia. Bill Farren-Price is an energy analyst at Enverus, and explains the figures. And we explore whether oil firms are likely to face windfall taxes on their profits, after Italy increased such a tax, with Chiara Albanese from Bloomberg in Rome. Also in the programme, the BBC's Mike Johnson examines why Turkey is seeking to rebrand itself with its Turkish name, Türkiye. Plus, as a law firm tells its employees they can work from home if they agree to a 20% pay cut, Emma Bartlett, employment law partner at CM Murray tells us whether it's an idea that is likely to catch on. Today's edition is presented by Will Bain, and produced by Nisha Patel, Russell Newlove and Frey Lindsay.

This is the story of DeAndre Yedlin. DeAndre broke through at Seattle Sounders and impressed the world of football during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, when he played a brilliant game versus Belgium. Eden Hazard, who already was a bonafide superstar back then, had a hard time dealing with Yedlin's pace and energy. This spectacular breakthrough performance earned Yedlin a move to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. He later played for Sunderland and would spend the majority of his career in England at Newcastle United. After a brief stint at Turkish giants Galatasaray, DeAndre Yedlin returned to the United States this year, to sign for David Beckham's Inter Miami. It's been almost eight years since he left home. So we hopped on a call with DeAndre, to reflect on his years in European football, and to find out what his life's like in Miami.- See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Gossiping about why Deniz hates the coverage of the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial, Molly's delayed but important thoughts on Bridgerton, Tik Tok conspiracy theories, never having enough time and giving up trying. Plus Molly watches On Golden Pond and Deniz gets flashbacks to high school English class, feeling nostalgia for old TGIF shows, a new Turkish series on Netflix called Yakamoz S245 that's a spin off of another really good show called Into The Night, plus the crazy true crime story that inspired the Hulu documentary Captive Audience. After that we get into a discussion about the Netflix documentary White Hot about the rise and fall of Abercrombie & Fitch. Deniz and Molly share how that show impacted their teenage years, self esteem, and mental health in very different but equally important ways.

Another rollercoaster weekend leaves Brendan Dunlop, James Sharman, Craig Forrest and Jimmy Brennan with a lot to review after super agent Mino Raiola dies leaving the crew to wonder how much crazier that may make this summer's transfer window, and what Harry Kane will do at the end of the season.

Norwich are sent packing, but Burnley's comeback win and Frank Lampard's Everton triumph over his old Chelsea mean the relegation fight is far from over. Real Madrid win La Liga for the 35th time and Trabzonspor's Turkish Süper Lig title has our turkeys talking about Turkey.

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Second Week of Easter Lectionary: 272All podcast readings are produced by the USCCB and are from the Catholic Lectionary, based on the New American Bible and approved for use in the United States _______________________________________The Saint of the day is Saint Pius VThis is the pope whose job it was to implement the historic Council of Trent. If we think popes had difficulties in implementing Vatican Council II, Pius V had even greater problems after Trent four centuries earlier. During his papacy (1566-1572), Pius V was faced with the almost overwhelming responsibility of getting a shattered and scattered Church back on its feet. The family of God had been shaken by corruption, by the Reformation, by the constant threat of Turkish invasion, and by the bloody bickering of the young nation-states. In 1545, a previous pope convened the Council of Trent in an attempt to deal with all these pressing problems. Off and on over 18 years, the Fathers of the Church discussed, condemned, affirmed, and decided upon a course of action. The Council closed in 1563. Pius V was elected in 1566 and charged with the task of implementing the sweeping reforms called for by the Council. He ordered the founding of seminaries for the proper training of priests. He published a new missal, a new breviary, a new catechism, and established the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine classes for the young. Pius zealously enforced legislation against abuses in the Church. He patiently served the sick and the poor by building hospitals, providing food for the hungry, and giving money customarily used for the papal banquets to poor Roman converts. His decision to keep wearing his Dominican habit led to the custom–to this day–of the pope wearing a white cassock. In striving to reform both Church and state, Pius encountered vehement opposition from England's Queen Elizabeth and the Roman Emperor Maximilian II. Problems in France and in the Netherlands also hindered Pius's hopes for a Europe united against the Turks. Only at the last minute was he able to organize a fleet which won a decisive victory in the Gulf of Lepanto, off Greece, on October 7, 1571. Pius' ceaseless papal quest for a renewal of the Church was grounded in his personal life as a Dominican friar. He spent long hours with his God in prayer, fasted rigorously, deprived himself of many customary papal luxuries, and faithfully observed the spirit of the Dominican Rule that he had professed. Reflection In their personal lives and in their actions as popes, Saint Pius V and Saint Paul VI both led the family of God in the process of interiorizing and implementing the new birth called for by the Spirit in major Councils. With zeal and patience, Pius and Paul pursued the changes urged by the Council Fathers. Like Pius and Paul, we too are called to constant change of heart and life.

It was recently announced that Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will visit the White House next month and deliver what's been described as a historic address to a joint session of Congress. This week we also saw two marathon hearings in the Senate and the House, where Secretary Blinken was grilled by members of Congress on the administration's broader foreign policy strategy that covered Russia, China, and touched on Turkey. Endy Zemenides, HALC's Executive Director, joins Thanos Davelis with the latest breakdown. You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greek PM Mitsotakis to visit White House in MayPelosi Invites Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis of Greece to Address Joint Meeting of CongressSecretary of State Blinken testifies in Senate Foreign Relations hearingKey U.S. senator criticizes Blinken for failing to condemn Turkish jailing of philanthropistBlinken to detail U.S. national strategy for China in coming weeksGreece's energy sufficiency fully guaranteed, Mitsotakis saysMitsotakis: Polls at end of gov't term

Orban ve Macaristan hakkındaki mini-serimizin sorununa geldik. İlk bölümümüz bir değişim ve yükseliş hikayesiydi, bir yandan da Macaristan hakkında bir arkaplan oluşturuyorduk.

In a decisive turn in the war in Ukraine, Russia announced this week that it was cutting gas to Poland and Bulgaria. This move has put the spotlight on the efforts underway in the Balkans to show Gazprom that they have real alternatives to Russian gas. Nektaria Stamouli, Politico's Athens-based correspondent covering the region, joins me today to look at how the Balkans are breaking their energy dependence on Russia and the central role Greece is playing in this effort.Read Nektaria Stamouli's latest piece for Politico here: Ukraine war piles pressure on southeastern Europe to find new gasYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greece taps bond markets after sovereign upgradeTurkish jet violations escalateGreece, Turkey trade barbs over Aegean airspace incursionsGreece lodges new demarche over Turkish fighter jet incursions

This week a Turkish court condemned Turkish philanthropist and civic leader Osman Kavala to life in prison, a verdict that's been described as a “travesty of justice.” The State Department also chimed in, expressing its deep concern. Its statement only mentioned Osman Kavala, however, failing to call out Turkey for upending the lives of the other defendants, including Professor Henri Barkey, a US citizen and former State Department employee. Merve Tahiroglu and Henri Barkey join our host Thanos Davelis to discuss this verdict, the US response, and its potential impact on Turkey's relations with the West.Merve Tahiroglu is the Turkey program coordinator at the Project on Middle East Democracy.Henri Barkey is the Cohen Professor of International Relations at Lehigh University and an adjunct senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.Read Henri Barkey's op-ed in The Atlantic on this case: Erdoğan's War on TruthRead POMED's Joint Statement on the verdict: Turkey's Gezi Trial Verdict a Travesty of JusticeYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:US State Department on Turkey's conviction of Osman KavalaGreece to pay Gazprom end-May, help Bulgaria after Russia cuts gas supplyGreece files demarche over Turkish F-16 violations
