Russian strikes on Ukraine have continued on the 4th anniversary of Moscow's full-scale invasion. But in recent days Kyiv has been recapturing territory it lost in the first weeks of the war. Also: Mexico has deployed thousands of troops to maintain order after the country's most wanted cartel leader - known as "El Mencho" - was killed by the army. Britain's former ambassador in Washington, Peter Mandelson, has been arrested over his links with the late American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. A powerful storm is battering the northeastern US, leaving thousands without power. A study into so-called "weasel words" reveals just how misleading they can be.

Not that long ago many church-going Americans saw Russia as a godless place, an “evil empire” in the words of Ronald Reagan. But in President Trump's second term, US-Russia relations have been turned on their head. Last year, the White House sided with the Kremlin at the United Nations, voting against a resolution to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine.This seismic shift is also being felt in parishes across America. Increasing numbers of US Catholics and Protestants are embracing Eastern Orthodoxy. Many converts disillusioned by the showbiz elements in many megachurches, say they are drawn to a faith with enduring traditions. Some, uneasy with social and demographic change, believe the churches they were raised in have lost their authority by going “woke” – shorthand for supporting equal marriage, female clergy, pro-choice, Black Lives Matter and other liberal issues.Some converts have hundreds of thousands of followers online, and push Kremlin narratives that Russia is the world's last bastion of true Christianity - a few of the most radical have even emigrated there. Last year, Lucy Ash went to Texas – one of the most religious states in the US – to meet some new converts.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde connects three fast-moving global signals from Feb 16–22, 2026: as coercive diplomacy returns to center stage, legitimacy battles shift into courts and security perimeters, and "basic systems" (water, climate resilience, and public health) show dangerous strain. Why are high-stakes negotiations increasingly paired with escalation? When politics becomes a legal and security contest, who decides what's dissent versus threat? And what happens when sewage leaks, floods and fires, and vaccine gaps all hit the trust economy at once? Bidemi closes with a practical question for leaders and citizens alike: which "pump handles" matter most before the next surge arrives, and who's accountable for pulling them?Quick question: when you buy something handmade, do you ever wonder who made it, and where your money really goes? Lembrih is building a marketplace where you can shop Black and African-owned brands and learn the story behind the craft. And the impact is built in: buyers can support vendors directly, and Lembrih also gives back through African-led charities, including $1 per purchase. They're crowdfunding on Kickstarter now.

2026-02-23 | UPDATES #139 | March 2014. Moscow. The world still pretends Crimea is a “local crisis.” Diplomats still talk about “off-ramps.” European politicians still think sanctions might gently persuade the Kremlin back to reality.And on a cold street in the Russian capital — something extraordinary happens. Thousands gather for the March of Peace. One of the speakers is a former Deputy Prime Minister — not a dissident outsider, not an exile, not a nationalist firebrand.A man who helped build post-Soviet Russia. Boris Nemtsov. And he does something almost nobody inside Russia dared to do in public. He explains exactly what this war will become.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------A REQUEST FOR HELP!I'm heading back to Kyiv this week, to film, do research and conduct interviews.

Silicon Bites Ep292 | 2026-02-23 | Russia is closed for business — the war economy that is devouring its own future. Russian opposition economist Vladimir Milov says Russia's economy now runs on one fuel: state war spending. Businesses can't invest, workers are disappearing, interest rates crush enterprise — and the Kremlin doesn't seem to care. The result? A country technically functioning, but economically shutting down, abandoning the core tenets of a market economy, and shedding all vestiges of economic rationality. Russia hasn't been sanctioned into isolation and oblivion. It's reorganising itself into a permanent wartime command economy – destroying all the economic progress of the 1990s. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES:AP News — wartime tax pressure on small business (2026)Reuters Breakingviews — fiscal strain and depletion of reserves (Feb 2026)The Moscow Times — stagnation, falling profits, investment slowdown The Moscow Times — taxes rising and growth ~1% PISM / economic analysis — 21% interest rates, labour shortage Wilson Center — war economy discourages investmentRUSI — inflation driven by war spendingGuardian economic analysis — labour shortages and tax increases Kyiv Independent interview with Vladimir Milov — reserves depletion and investment collapse----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

Quête intime dans une Ukraine en guerre Quand j'étais enfant, j'ai grandi avec Sergueï, un garçon venu d'Ukraine dans le cadre d'un programme humanitaire pour les enfants touchés par Tchernobyl. Pendant dix ans, il a passé toutes ses vacances dans ma famille - devenant ainsi mon frère, mon double, mon allié. En 2004, devenu majeur, Sergueï rentre à Kyiv. On se quitte en se promettant de ne pas s'oublier, mais l'ère numérique étant à ses balbutiements, c'est le silence qui gagne. Plus de lettres, plus de réponses, plus de nouvelles. Les années passent. À distance, je tente de le retrouver en vain. Qui est-il devenu ? Qu'a-t-il gardé de ses années en France ? Pense-t-il encore à nous ? Que reste-t-il du socle commun de notre enfance ? Quelques temps après le début de l'invasion russe en février 2022, je pars en Ukraine, avec l'idée folle de lui mettre la main dessus, et de répondre à toutes mes questions sans réponse. Au fil de l'enquête, construite à partir d'archives VHS, de souvenirs d'enfance et d'un journal de bord enregistré à Kyiv avec les sons du quotidien d'un pays en guerre, des réponses émergent quand d'autres restent en suspens. Le tout forme le récit d'une recherche familiale confrontée à l'histoire en train de s'écrire, et d'un lien fraternel mis à l'épreuve par le temps, la distance et la guerre.

Always present. Always helping. Always opening the door.Then one summer night, a Ring doorbell rang just before midnight. A voice screaming for help. Blood on a front porch.

Violence has broken out in several cities across Mexico hours after the military confirmed it had killed one of the country's most feared drug lords - known as El Mencho. The leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel was shot in a dawn raid and died from his injuries. Also: Students in Iran have staged a second day of anti-government protests to honour those killed in last month's deadly crackdown. US secret service agents have shot dead a man who broke into President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate with a shotgun. Greenland and Denmark reply "no thanks" to Donald Trump after he said he was sending an American hospital ship to "take care" of people in Greenland. Ukraine's President Zelensky tells the BBC President Putin has already started what amounts to World War Three - but Kyiv is keeping it contained. The grande finale of the Winter Olympics in Verona.

Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court have begun setting out their case against the former president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, who is accused of crimes against humanity over his bloody ‘war on drugs'. Hearings in The Hague will decide whether there is enough evidence to move to a full trial. Also: aid agencies in South Sudan say intensified fighting between government and opposition forces has displaced hundreds of thousands of people; Australia's prime minister Anthony Albanese tells Britain his country would support any move to remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, King Charles's brother, from the line of royal succession; the boss of Netflix tells the BBC its bid for Warner Bros Discovery is stronger than a rival offer from Paramount; as the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine approaches, President Volodymyr Zelensky's chief of staff says another round of talks aimed at ending the war could take place by the end of the week; a racial slur shouted by Tourette's campaigner John Davidson during the BAFTA Film Awards sparks debate about how the condition should be understood; and scientists reveal a new species of dinosaur discovered in the Sahara desert.
SEASON 4 EPISODE 62: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: In case you somehow missed it, Kash Patel's enablers at the FBI (Fan Boys International) were busily denying he went to Italy for the Olympics just to see the hockey game and jock-sniff the victorious U.S. team when all sorts of video leaked out of the dressing room showing him doing exactly that - dancing, drinking, cringing. And then Patel himself couldn't resist Supposedly we sent 100 agents to help with security and he just had to be there. Guesstimated cost just for his latest stage of his perpetual vacation on our dime? $400,000. It would be bad - a future administration will probably address it as misappropriation of funds. But what makes it worse is there's a piece by Patel from 2022 complaining about previous FBI directors wasting money on vacation, and a clip about his FBI predecessor Christopher Wray's vacation travel. Simply impeaching him is insufficient. He needs to go to prison. NOT THAT TRUMP WOULD DO THAT; THIS IS THE BEHAVIOR TRUMP TEACHES: Trump is a thief and he owes you and me at least 293 billion dollars - and we want it back. The worst thief in American history - and 270 billion of that is in tariffs. Because on tariffs, the Supreme Court has given him his COMEUPPANCE. Well – it’s given him A comeuppance. Because his new argument for the new REPLACEMENT Monday tariffs was his old argument AGAINST overturning the old Friday tariffs. But the key thing the Court actually did was give his cult a mortal shock. It is the first official body to give the Trump-Town Guyana Death Cult the message: that he is making this crap up, as he goes ALONG. -- Plus: an actual good idea from Boris Johnson: to send peacekeepers to Ukraine – NOW. And I’M the guy who thinks the Hockey Gold Medal is a BAD THING. And no, the John Barron who called into C-SPAN wasn’t Trump – he was too coherent. B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Mark Zuckerberg manages to lose a lawsuit before the trial starts, Kid Rock proves he's not charging $5000 for front row tickets by confessing he IS charging $5000 for front row tickets, and Stephen Miller's wife has another one of those Freudian slips that may be desperate pleas for help from inside a bad situation. C-Block (50:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Baseball has already started so time for my annual explanation: why I don't work for baseball's TV network even though they offered me my own show and I accepted it. It has to do with a big league club threatening them if they didn't renege.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Trump threatening even higher global tariffs after the Supreme Court ruled Friday that his tariff agenda was unconstitutional. The Middle East is bracing for possible military strikes in the region as tensions mount between the U.S. and Iran. Ukraine's Ambassador to the U.S. Olga Stefanishyna joins Meet the Press NOW as Ukraine prepares to mark four years since Russia's brutal invasion. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today's Headlines: On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that Donald Trump's tariffs are unconstitutional under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The dissenters: Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh. Trump responded by blasting Justices Gorsuch and Barrett as “disloyal” and insisting he can “destroy trade” but not “charge a little fee.” He then proposed a global 10% tariff workaround — later bumped to 15%. Meanwhile, Americans are still effectively paying 9.1% in tariffs, and the Court didn't address what happens to the $133 billion already collected. Over the weekend, Trump announced he's sending a “great hospital boat” to Greenland, despite Denmark saying it wasn't informed and doesn't need it. The Navy ships in question are reportedly in Alabama. Sure. On the Russia beat, a Trump ally signed a natural gas deal with Russian energy giant Novatek despite U.S. sanctions tied to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine — the first known new U.S.–Russia venture of its kind. Separately, ICE and other agencies contracted with phone-forensics firm Oxygen Forensics, which has ties to sanctioned former FSB figures. At the same time, DHS has issued hundreds of subpoenas to tech companies seeking identifying information on users critical of ICE. Trump is also pressuring Netflix to remove Susan Rice from its board amid maneuvering around a media acquisition deal that could affect CNN. Casual. In Florida, Secret Service agents shot and killed a 21-year-old man who allegedly breached the perimeter of Mar-a-Lagowith what appeared to be a shotgun and fuel can; the investigation is ongoing. Meanwhile, Florida lawmakers approved renaming Palm Beach International Airport after Trump — a $5.5 million rebrand. And finally, taxpayers will now provide new Secret Service agents with two tailored suits upon graduation. Inflation hits us all differently.

Iran Attacks Still Loom. Vets Sue Trump Over His Stupid Arch. More ICE Violence. Lessons from Ukraine's Drone War for Europe. Vets & VFW Blast Collins. Celebrating the Olympics. Stuck in Tampa while a historic snowpocalypse buries much of America, Army vet and Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff rips through a wild 48 hours in politics, national security and sports—and what it all means for you. From a bomb-cyclone shutting down the Northeast to Trump boasting he can “destroy countries” while massing U.S. firepower around Iran, Paul tracks rising risks of war with Iran, unrest in Mexico after cartel boss El Mencho's killing, and covert strikes off Venezuela in a dangerous new phase of unchecked presidential power. He digs into ICE's culture of impunity—from the killing of a U.S. citizen in Texas to an 80-year-old lawyer slammed to the ground in California—and why he believes the agency's broken culture can't be fixed and must be shut down, while exposing FBI Director Kash Patel's Olympics “boondoggle,” beer-chugging locker-room photo op, and Trump's “boondoggliest” cabinet. Paul also spotlights real pushback: veterans forcing the VA to halt a radical benefits rule, lawsuits to stop Trump's absurd 250-foot arch that would block the view from Arlington, and Ukraine's three-year fight against Russia and drone warfare that's reshaping modern combat. And there's still room for hope: Alysa Liu's joyful figure-skating gold, dominant U.S. women's hockey, and a legendary U.S. men's overtime win offer a powerful alternative face of America—and a reminder of the toughness and leadership of American women athletes under political pressure. No guests, no fluff—just a rapid-fire, independent briefing to start your week, whether you're digging out from the snow or under the Florida sun, with the independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact you expect from Independent Americans—and a call to look out for your neighbors, stand with veterans and Ukraine, and stay vigilant. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here.

Also on the programme: the International Criminal Court has opened hearings to decide if the former Philippine president, Rodrigo Duterte, should face trial for crimes against humanity; and we speak to Wagner Moura, star of the Oscar-nominated Brazilian film The Secret Agent.(Photo: Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky speaks during the 62nd Munich Security Conference (MSC) at the hotel 'Bayerischer Hof', in Munich, Germany.

This week's Recast is from April 2020. Why This Episode Matters Now:In 2022, the war in Ukraine revealed something our partners had been experiencing but we hadn't fully articulated: the traditional model of intact, homogeneous teams wasn't sufficient for the emerging operational environment. Individuals with diverse expertise, geography, language, and allegiances needed to rapidly converge into what we call Tactical Swarms—heterogeneous cross-functional units that form, solve emergent problems, and disperse.Our recent white paper, The Fourth Generation of Military Special Operations Selection & Assessment, explores this evolution in depth. But six years ago, Preston laid the foundational concepts in this conversation with Coleman.What the Research Shows:Many operators who excelled at teamwork—performing with known, homogeneous teams—struggled with teaming: the ability to rapidly build cohesion within heterogeneous groups. This episode examines why routine versus critical communication and field observations across special operations, emergency medicine, and other high-stakes environments. In this episode, Preston and Coleman describe how tactical swarms and X teams differ from traditional team structures, and they distinguish between routine and critical communication and when teams must shift between them.

A winter storm is impacting parts of 11 states along the East Coast with blizzard warnings in effect for 41 million people. A ban on nonessential travel is in effect in New York City. Meanwhile, New England could get up to 2 feet of snow with wind gusts over 60 mph. This week, Russia's war in Ukraine marks four years as negotiations have failed to end the fighting. Holly Williams reconnected with a Ukrainian man she met at the start of the war, who reflects on surviving being shot by a Russian sniper, and the loss of his fellow soldiers. The 2026 Winter Olympics wrapped up Sunday in Italy. But before the closing ceremony, Team USA captured a thrilling victory, beating Canada 2-1 in overtime to win gold for the first time since 1980. The U.S. finished with 33 medals total, the most since 2010, including 12 gold medals. CBS News contributor David Begnaud announced on "CBS Mornings" the launch of his company, "Do Good Crew" - which celebrates everyday heroes. At the heart of it is a podcast "The Person who Believed in Me." Norah O'Donnell joins "CBS Mornings" to speak about her new book, "We the Women: The Hidden Heroes Who Shaped America." O'Donnell highlights women who are often overlooked or forgotten in history. She said "women in history are so important to the shaping of this country," but later added "they don't get the praise that they deserve." Contestant Colby Donaldson talks about returning to play "Survivor" again, why he wanted to play originally and how the 50th season is all about the fans. Isabel May speaks with "CBS Mornings" about starring in "Scream 7" after her breakout performance in the Yellowstone prequel "1883." May discusses joining the cult classic franchise, which takes place 30 years after the first murders, what it was like to work with Neve Campbell and how she prepared for the role.

While the U.S. won't use the word "blockade" it sure looks like that's what it's doing to anyone trying to ship oil into Cuba. The situation is dire and Cuba seems to be teetering on the edge of a humanitarian crisis. Should Canada help? Could it help? That's one of the topics for Dr. Janice Stein on her regular Monday commentary. Also up for discussion: Iran, Ukraine and the U.S. Supreme Court's slap down of Donald Trump on tariffs.

They argue Russia's economic decline is a slow-motion collapse, but the more decisive shift is in Russia's political landscape and social fabric, with corruption accelerating as officials fear the system is becoming unstable. Konstantin describes widespread failures in utilities, healthcare, education, agriculture, and communications, alongside frequent arrests of regional officials, which he says signals a broken “social contract” of loyalty-for-impunity within Putin's vertical of power. He contrasts this with Ukraine becoming “healthier” and more resilient amid attacks, while acknowledging Ukraine's corruption issues but insisting Russia must stop its aggression. The conversation covers how officials allegedly loot state funds as if “there is no tomorrow,” including an example from Belgorod where reconstruction money was allegedly misallocated through falsified damage claims.----------

En dépit de leur bonne entente, le couple franco-allemand semble fragilisé par leurs désaccords sur certains dossiers. Dernier en date : le projet de système de combat aérien du futur.L'unité européenne est pourtant essentielle pour faire face à la menace russe, mais également à la nouvelle administration américaine. L'Europe est désormais face au défi de son autonomie stratégique.

Depuis l'invasion partielle de l'Ukraine en 2022, 90% des réfugiés sont passés par la Pologne. Près d'un million d'Ukrainiens se sont établis dans le pays. Mais, avec le temps, la solidarité dopée par la peur de voir les Russes envahir le sol polonais s'est érodée. Un sentiment anti-ukrainien s'est même développé. Et les aides aux réfugiés se sont taries. Les Ukrainiens qui continuent de passer la frontière sont ceux qui étaient malades ou infirmes ou trop précaires, pour fuir dès le départ. Ils ont souvent besoin d'un accompagnement, et ne sont accueillis que par des bénévoles, qui leur proposent de migrer vers d'autres pays. « La Pologne, simple terre de transit pour Ukrainiens fragilisés », un Grand reportage d'Adrien Sarlat.

Europe is in a bit of a fix, with a belligerent Russia to its East, and the traditional ally and protector disinterested to the West, governments are only starting to think about maybe increasing defence spending. In Britain, we are behind our continental allies and still trying to find excuses not to improve defence capability. So who better to get on than a former General, Barney White-Spunner, who has written a book about five armies that saved Europe (spoiler alert, one of them is American), and so we chat about what that means for the present.
