North Korea's new warship remains submerged on its side more than 10 days after the embarrassing failure to side-launch the vessel last month, despite DPRK experts' confidence that they could right the ship. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made only a passing mention of North Korea at the Shangri-La Dialogue over the weekend, even as officials talked behind the scenes about wanting U.S. Forces Korea to play a bigger role in countering China. And Lee Jae-myung appears poised to claim the South Korean presidency in Tuesday's snap election, setting up potential changes in inter-Korean policy. This week, NK News CEO Chad O'Caroll and Lead Correspondent Shreyas Reddy join the podcast to discuss all these events during a busy week on the peninsula, as the ROK prepares to finally fill a monthslong leadership vacuum since Yoon Suk-yeol's ill-fated declaration of martial law and subsequent impeachment. They also talk about why North Korea will likely do little in response to a new president in Seoul and explore why Kim Jong Un should worry about Ukrainian drones following Kyiv's stunning attack on Russian assets far from the front lines. About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports a surprise Ukrainian drone attack that targeted Russian air bases hosting nuclear-capable strategic bombers was unprecedented in its scope and sophistication.

On the eve of negotiations in Istanbul between Russia and Ukraine, the Ukrainian military struck targets hundreds of miles inside Russian territory.

But the path to a ceasefire remains murky.Host Elahe Izadi speaks with Ukraine bureau chief Siobhan O'Grady about whether these strikes could change the balance of power in the war in Ukraine. Plus, updates from a day of peace talks between the two powers. Today's show was produced by Rennie Svirnovskiy. It was edited by Ariel Plotnick and mixed by Sean Carter.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they fume over the anti-Semitic attack in Boulder, Colorado, bemoan the abysmal media bias in covering the attack, and praise the recent Ukrainian drone attacks deep into Russia. First, they denounce the anti-Semitic attack on a peaceful march demanding the release of hostages held by Hamas. An illegal immigrant reportedly hurled Molotov cocktails into the crowd, injuring eight people. The FBI labeled the assault an act of terrorism, marking yet another example of violence aimed at Jews, including the firebombing of the Pennsylvania governor's residence and the murders of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington. Next, Jim and Greg berate the media's disgraceful reporting. Major outlets downplayed the facts, ignored anti-Semitic motives, and misrepresented key details, which were laughable, exasperating, and entirely predictable. Finally, they assess Ukraine's successful drone offensive deep inside Russia. Using more than a hundred drones, Ukraine destroyed dozens of critical warplanes and sent a strategic message to Moscow. And Jim explains how Putin will only change if Russian elites begin to suffer from the war.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your skincare routine with Caldera Lab and see the difference.  Visit https://CalderaLab.com/3ML and use code 3ML at checkout for 20% off your first order. If your revenues are at least in the seven figures, download the free e-book from NetSuite, “Navigating Global Trade: 3 Insights for Leaders” at https://Netsuite.com/MartiniThis spring, get up to 50% off select plants at Fast Growing Trees with code MARTINI, plus an extra 15% off at checkout on your first purchase!

In this episode, Hanson explains what Trump is really signaling: that his strategy was always about making peace through strength — not appeasement. And now that Putin is throwing that opportunity away, the world sees who truly wants war. “ I think what Vladimir Putin thinks, that he's going to continue the war; continue the terror campaign; get greater concessions from the Europeans, the Americans, and the Ukrainians; and move the battle lines a little bit to the west. And I think he's sorely mistaken. He's misreading Donald Trump.  “If I was Vladimir Putin, I would cut a deal today. And then, I would resume natural gas and oil shipments to Europe. I would open the economy back up. And I would tell the Russian people what you did.  … And that's a lot better—it's not a good scenario, but it's a lot better than another Stalingrad or Verdun or Somme for the next two years for Russia.”

Andreas Steno, founder and CEO of Steno Research, joins Mikkel Rosenvold, the firm's partner and head of geopolitics, to discuss the latest Ukrainian drone strike on Russian air bases, surging commodity prices, the state of sanctions, and why the U.S. dollar is weakening.

Ukraine launched an unprecedented attack that sent drones deep inside Russia to target bombers. Russia’s strikes also accelerated as it launched the largest drone salvo of the war. One attack killed more than a dozen soldiers, leading to the resignation of Ukraine’s land forces commander. Nick Schifrin reports.

Yesterday in Colorado, a man shouted “Free Palestine” as he attacked a group of elderly demonstrators who had gathered to peacefully advocate for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza. The episode is at once the nation's latest paroxysm of antisemitic violence and the newest flashpoint in the debate about immigration: the alleged assailant was reportedly in the country illegally, having overstayed a visa. Chief Playbook correspondent Dasha Burns and author and managing editor Jack Blanchard join unpack it all. That, plus a new wave of Ukrainian strikes hammer deep in Russian territory.

The Senate is back in town today and ready to take up the Republicans' budget reconciliation bill. It's the same bill the House passed before Memorial Day weekend, but it faces a possibly rocky path in the Senate. The suspect in Sunday's attack in Boulder, Colorado appeared in court today, charged with 16 counts of attempted murder, plus a federal hate crime. According to an affidavit, Mohammed Soliman told investigators he “wanted to kill all Zionist people” and said, “he would do it again."  Russian and Ukrainian delegates met in Istanbul today for a second set of direct peace talks. Their meeting comes after Ukraine's drone attack on Russian bombers. Media reports say the talks between the two sides lasted barely over an hour and that outside of an agreement to work on a new prisoner exchange little progress was made.

This 200th episode of brioux.tv: the podcast features a SCTV original who remains one of my favourite people to interview -- Dave Thomas. On this, our third podcast conversation, Thomas talks about his recent trip to Kyiv, a city where drone strikes and missle attacks from Russia have created a living hell for Ukrainians at war. Thomas talks all about his decision to fly to Ukraine and answer a friend's call to help raise awareness and money for the cause. He was accompanied by a small film crew and ventured into territories invaded and claimed by Russia. On one mission the soldiers he was with helped bring Ukrainian infants and elderly citizens back from enemy hands. Thomas even found time to check out a Ukrainian comedy club. There were no photos of Yakoff Smirnov on the wall. Thomas is planning a documentary about his 10-day, first hand account.This is about as far removed as you can get from Thomas' old days spoofing Russian television on SCTV's hilarious "CCCP1" episode. Thomas's goal is to help raise donations for Ukrainian's under fire. Money goes to provide medical aid, training and vehicles for defence. Give now and qualify for a charitable tax receipt.

A new Austrian intelligence report directly challenges U.S. assessments, alleging Iran's nuclear weapons program remains active and is advancing at a rapid pace. And in today's Back of the Brief: the U.S. raises its flag in Damascus for the first time since 2012, signaling a potential diplomatic thaw with Syria's government.

Putin Survives Assassination Attempt, Trump Calls Him “Crazy” – Vladimir Putin narrowly escapes a Ukrainian drone strike during a visit to the Kursk region. In response, Russia unleashes its most intense wave of missile attacks on Ukraine to date. Trump reacts by calling Putin “absolutely CRAZY,” signaling a sharp shift in tone. Trump Revives Nuclear Power—but Russia Controls the Fuel – Trump signs executive orders to accelerate U.S. nuclear energy expansion, especially small modular reactors. But a critical fuel—HALEU, is almost entirely sourced from Russia, raising concerns over energy independence and Putin's leverage.

Russia's military captured four Ukrainian border villages in the Sumy region of Ukraine on Tuesday. It follows an intense bombing campaign of Ukraine's cities and towns over the weekend by Russian drones. It also comes as Moscow holds a major security conference over the next two days. Also, a US-backed aid group has begun distributing humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip. But Hamas has warned Palestinians to stay away from distribution sites, claiming that the aid group is using those sites to gather intelligence for Israel. Many Palestinians have heeded those warnings — meaning food is still not getting to people in the territory who need it. And Turkey's president calls for a new constitution against a backdrop of protests over the jailing of an opposition leader.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports on President Trump ramping up his criticism of Russia's Vladimir Putin.

Ukrainian officials say Russia launched its largest airstrikes since the start of the conflict. Sunday's attack, which killed 12 people, happened only hours before a prisoner exchange. Memorial Day is considered the unofficial start of summer and the summer travel season, but a deadly midair collision in the nation's capital in January and reports of air traffic control outages have raised safety concerns. Also, government forecasts predict an above normal wildfire risk for some parts of the country yet cuts to the US Forest Service makes fighting fires harder.

Today is a public holiday here in the UK, and so we're releasing a special episode on one of the great taboo subjects in the history of warfare: that of role of gender and sexual violence. Firstly, Adelie speaks with Sofi Oksanen, who just published the viral essay 'Same River, Twice, Putin's War on Women'. She discusses how historic attitudes to gender in Russia impacted post-Soviet history. The second interview is with Tatyana Tymoshenta, a therapist who works with survivors of rape in Ukraine.

For Memorial Day, we have stories of conflict and devotion, and how they are told through memorials.A well-known memorial in Washington, DC, pays tribute to the US service members who lost their lives in the Vietnam War, but few memorials honor the Vietnamese who fought alongside them, or the hundreds of thousands who came to the US in subsequent years. A new memorial project in the "Little Saigon" neighborhood of Dorchester in Boston aims to do just that. Also, Chile's biggest carnival is kicking off at full speed. As many as 150,000 people have traveled to the northern Chilean town of Arica to participate. But this is not your typical carnival. Most of the dances and music come from Bolivia for a celebration of Indigenous Aymara, Quechua, and Afro-Chilean identities. And, Yaroslav Simkiv has played the trumpet for over 50 years and is a recognizable figure in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv. Several times a day, he plays his instrument from the towering mayoral building in Lviv's main square to announce the time of day. But these days, Simkiv has taken on a more serious role — bidding a musical farewell to Ukraine's fallen soldiers.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air.

In the past week, 30 Ukrainians have died and more than 163 others injured as Russia escalated its bombing campaign amid U.S. efforts to end the war. It prompted President Trump to lash out at not only Russian President Putin, but also Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. Laura Barrón-López discussed more with retired Army Col. Robert Hamilton of the Foreign Policy Research Institute's Eurasia Program. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

Edition No147 | 26-05-2025 - Trump may be inferring that Putin has lost his mind and is behaving out of character with mindless violence. But Trump has already clearly abandoned the peace process and is well on the way to washing his hands of the war, the peace and Ukraine. By the way, Putin is not mad, and the current violence is totally characteristic of his regime. But Trump clearly is not partial to history, facts or evidence. We are in the realm of the goldfish memory, where history is what happened mere hours ago, or anything further back was a long time ago, and probably never happened anyway, to quote the title of David Satter's excellent book on Russia. Let's recap, for those suffering from the Trump goldfish memory syndrome: - Trump never once pressured Putin to stop the war against Ukraine. He never even raised the topic of a ceasefire in his recent conversations with him.- After his call with Putin Trump essentially abandoned his own promise to stop the war.- The two-hour conversation on May 19 was so warm, apparently that neither Trump nor Putin wanted to hang up first. Queue memes of Budanov cutting off the line.- European allies and the Ukrainian leadership felt that they had simply been left to hang out to dry, without explanation, without a strategic position – just silence.- The United States is no longer trying to be a mediator. All diplomatic initiatives have been put on hold.- Trump is now simply washing his hands of the matter and stepping aside.- After the conversation with Putin, Trump publicly told reporters that he had not even mentioned the missile strikes on civilians in Ukraine. These have of course intensified dramatically following the call, possibly because of Trump's appeasement. Ukraine accepted Trump's proposal for a comprehensive and unconditional ceasefire. Putin did not and has never given any indication of softening his demands that would allow a nascent peace process or negotiation to even begin. There are not even grounds for a ceasefire arrangement, as Putin's demand escalated with each round of exploratory talks.----------LINK:https://kyivindependent.com/trump-doesnt-know-how-to-deal-with-gangsters-us-lets-ukraine-down-once-again/https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-war-latest-80/----------Your support is massively appreciated!SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGNEvents in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon CurtainNEXT EVENTS - LVIV, KYIV AND ODESA THIS MAY AND JUNE.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.
