What happened at the Mariupol Drama Theater — and what does it reveal about the larger war between Russia and Ukraine?In this episode of Reckoning with Jason Herbert, historian Jason Herbert sits down with acclaimed journalist and author James Verini to discuss his powerful new book, The Theater, an intimate account of the bombing of the Mariupol Drama Theater during Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.Together, they explore the siege of Mariupol, the human cost of modern warfare, and the terrifying role propaganda plays in shaping reality during conflict. The conversation moves beyond headlines into the deeper history of Russian imperialism, the contested identity of the Donbas, the rise of Ukrainian nationalism, and why Vladimir Putin's war may ultimately have forged a stronger Ukrainian nation than ever before.Jason and James also discuss:Why the bombing of the theater became a defining atrocity of the warRussian propaganda and the global information warThe historical roots of the conflict going back to the Crimean WarVolodymyr Zelensky's transformation during the invasionNATO, the United States, and the future of global democracyWhether Putin can survive politically if Russia loses the warWhy Ukraine's fight resonates far beyond Eastern EuropePart war reporting, part historical reckoning, and part meditation on democracy itself, this episode examines one of the most consequential conflicts of the twenty-first century — and the people trapped inside it.

“I feel numb. It feels unreal to me, having been in Sudan all my life. I have never imagined that it will turn into a war field, it looks like a nightmare. At first that it is just days or months or even a year, but it went on and it kept escalating. Even our homes are no longer habitable. One of my sons went back to have a look and he said you wouldn't even find a spoon for your tea.” James Copnall speaks to Aisha Musa, one of the civilian figures who helped lead Sudan after the overthrow of Omar al-Bashir in 2019.After popular protests led to Bashir's fall, Sudan's presidency was replaced by a Sovereign Council made up of military and civilian representatives. Aisha Musa was one of only two women appointed to the body, an unprecedented position of influence for a woman in Sudan.But hopes of democratic change collapsed with the outbreak of civil war in 2023 between Sudan's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.Aisha reflects on working alongside the generals responsible for Sudan's civil war, what it would take to rebuild democracy and her frustration at UK visa restrictions for Sudanese refugees.The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

C dans l'air du 25 mai 2026 - Missile hypersonique: Poutine affaibli, plus dangereux que jamais?600 drones et 90 missiles se sont abattus sur la capitale ukrainienne ce week-end. D'intenses bombardements qui ont fait au moins quatre morts, plus de 100 blessés et de nombreux incendies. Les dégâts sont d'autant plus importants que Moscou revendique l'usage d'un Orechnik, un missile hypersonique à capacité nucléaire. La Russie dit avoir frappé Kiev en représailles à l'offensive aérienne ukrainienne d'une ampleur inédite qui a touché, la semaine dernière, le territoire russe. Plus de 600 drones s'étaient abattus sur 14 de ses régions centrales, la Crimée annexée, la mer Noire et Moscou. Vladimir Poutine avait promis une réponse après une frappe de drones ayant fait 18 morts dans la région ukrainienne de Lougansk occupée par les Russes."Crime de guerre", "escalade progressive"... L'Europe s'est insurgée après l'utilisation du missile russe à capacité nucléaire Orechnik. Volodymyr Zelensky de son côté a demandé à la communauté internationale de faire "pression" sur la Russie pour la dissuader d'utiliser son arme. Et cette stratégie militaire de Moscou a également été vivement contestée au sein même du camp russe. Plusieurs blogueurs militaires nationalistes influents ont qualifié ces frappes d'« extrêmement coûteuses » et de « militairement inutiles », affirmant que le tir d'Oreshnik sur la localité de Bila Tserkva ne visait aucun objectif stratégique d'importance. Ces mêmes sources ont rappelé que cette escalade intervient alors que l'armée russe essuie des échecs sur le front.Sur le terrain, les gains territoriaux de la Russie en Ukraine ont progressivement diminué ces derniers mois, et l'armée ukrainienne frappe désormais régulièrement en profondeur sur le territoire russe, révélant au grand jour les failles sécuritaires du Kremlin. Des tirs qui provoquent un malaise et de l'inquiétude dans la population russe, et sèment le doute sur la capacité du pouvoir à protéger le pays.Alors que sait-on du missile russe « Orechnik » ? Pourquoi la Russie a-t-elle utilisé, pour la troisième fois contre l'Ukraine, ce missile balistique à portée intermédiaire (IRBM) ? Est-ce une marque de fébrilité de Moscou ? Des analystes OSINT affirment qu'un missile Oreshnik lancé par la Russie aurait touché une zone occupée par ses propres forces près de Donetsk, en plus de la frappe dans la région de Kiev. Que s'est-il réellement passé ? Pourquoi l'Ukraine et l'Europe s'inquiètent-elles autant ? Parallèlement, l'Assemblée nationale a adopté, la semaine dernière, une rallonge de 36 milliards d'euros pour la défense d'ici à 2030, portant les dépenses militaires totales à 436 milliards.Dans les faits, le format des armées ne devrait pas bouger : 210 000 militaires d'active, 225 avions de combat ainsi que 15 frégates de premier rang. Mais l'accent va être mis sur les munitions comme les missiles, les obus et surtout la production de drones. Les combats en Ukraine ont montré l'importance de ces engins depuis quatre ans, et les attaques mutuelles de ces derniers jours témoignent d'un changement de dimension. Reportage ce soir sur l'ancien centre d'essais en vol de l'Essonne, devenu le terrain d'expérimentation des dronistes, avec le soutien du Secrétariat général de la défense et de la sécurité nationale, soucieux de renforcer les capacités de lutte antidrones.Nos experts :- Général Jean-Paul PALOMEROS - Ancien chef d'état-major et ancien commandant suprême de la transformation de l'OTAN- Vera GRANTSEVA - Politologue - Spécialiste de la Russie- Alain BAUER - Professeur émérite au CNAM, fondateur du pôle sécurité, défense et renseignement- Philippe GELIE - Directeur adjoint de la rédaction Le Figaro

On today's episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett, and Jordy break down another stunning Trump retreat as he backs away from his latest military threat against Iran just as Tehran moves to formalize control over the Strait of Hormuz. The brothers also discuss mysterious explosions at key energy facilities in Venezuela, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates; Trump's outrageous new scheme to funnel $1.776 billion in taxpayer money to January 6 insurrectionists; and the growing effort by Trump and parts of the media to manufacture consent for a potential war in Cuba. They also examine the geopolitical fallout from Trump's failed trip to Beijing as Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin prepare for a major summit, while Trump ramps up threats against allies like Canada and Greenland. Plus, Volodymyr Zelenskyy turns the tables on Putin as Ukraine launches dramatic strikes on Moscow, and much more.

We want a better life for our people, especially for our youth.”Caitriona Perry speaks to Ecuador President Daniel Noboa about his hard-line military crackdown on violent criminal gangs, which has involved measures that human rights groups warn could pose a risk to civil liberties.President Noboa, who is one of the world's youngest leaders, has warned about the levels of crime faced in Ecuador.

Lethal records are being set almost daily in Ukraine's war with Russia. But even as the air war expands, the tide on the ground may be turning. Last month, Ukraine managed to liberate more land than Russia seized - the first time Moscow suffered a net loss of territory since 2024. In his nightly address, President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned Russia to expect more attacks. Correspondent Nick Paton Walsh brings us a first hand, harrowing look at the new drone warfare, reporting from eastern Ukraine.  Also on today's show: Former Ukrainian Minister of Economy Tymofiy Mylovanov; Former AUS ssistant Secretary of State for the Western Hemisphere Juan Gonzalez; director Rita Coburn ("W.

C dans l'air du 18 mai 2026 - Moscou frappée... Poutine est-il en train de perdre la guerre ?La Russie a subi ce week-end une offensive aérienne d'une ampleur inédite depuis le début de la guerre, avec l'envoi d'environ 600 drones ukrainiens sur 14 de ses régions centrales, la Crimée annexée et la mer Noire. Ces frappes ont causé la mort de quatre personnes, dont trois dans la banlieue de Moscou et une dans la région de Belgorod. Une douzaine d'ouvriers d'un chantier, à proximité d'une raffinerie en périphérie de la capitale, ont également été blessés.« La distance à partir de la frontière ukrainienne est de plus de 500 kilomètres. La concentration de la défense aérienne russe dans l'oblast de Moscou est maximale. Mais nous la maîtrisons. Gloire à l'Ukraine ! », s'est félicité sur X le président ukrainien. « Nos réponses face à la prolongation de la guerre par la Russie et à ses attaques contre nos villes et nos communautés sont entièrement justifiées », a également écrit Volodymyr Zelensky sur les réseaux sociaux. L'attaque a eu lieu trois jours après des bombardements russes qui ont fait une vingtaine de morts à Kiev et auxquels les autorités ukrainiennes avaient promis de répondre, alors que les efforts diplomatiques pour mettre fin au conflit sont au point mort.D'autant que le 9 mai dernier, le traditionnel défilé de l'armée, jour de la capitulation de l'Allemagne nazie en Russie, s'est déroulé sans matériel militaire, une première en dix-huit ans. Pour certains, à commencer par le président ukrainien, c'est un aveu de faiblesse.Alors, Vladimir Poutine et la Russie seraient-ils affaiblis ? La période est compliquée pour le pouvoir russe. La popularité du maître du Kremlin est descendue en avril sous les 70 %, selon un institut de sondage officiel. Une première pour l'homme fort de la Russie, qui a dû reconnaître ces dernières semaines une situation économique en berne depuis deux mois et a « tiré la sonnette d'alarme ». Parallèlement, les coupures Internet se multiplient et les États reprennent la main sur les réseaux. Malgré cela, en avril, le coup de gueule d'une influenceuse, Victoria Bonya, est devenu viral. Face au mécontentement grandissant, l'heure semble au recroquevillement du pouvoir. Selon des révélations de CNN et du Financial Times, la sécurité autour de Vladimir Poutine a été renforcée en raison de la crainte d'un coup d'État, voire d'un assassinat du président russe. Désormais, ses cuisiniers, gardes du corps et photographes auraient, par exemple, l'interdiction de prendre les transports en commun. Le personnel qui travaille dans l'entourage proche du chef du Kremlin ne pourrait pas avoir de téléphone avec Internet. Enfin, le chef d'État russe aurait réduit ses déplacements et s'isolerait de plus en plus dans des bunkers sécurisés.Dans ce contexte, la Russie et la Biélorussie ont entamé ce lundi des exercices impliquant des armes nucléaires, particulièrement scrutés. La semaine dernière, le président ukrainien avait ordonné le renforcement des troupes à la frontière nord avec la Biélorussie, affirmant que Moscou préparait une nouvelle offensive depuis ce pays, également frontalier de trois États membres de l'Alliance atlantique, dont la Lettonie. Reportage dans #cdanslair dans ce pays en état d'alerte, où la Première ministre vient de démissionner après une crise politique liée à des incursions de drones.Nos experts :- Général Dominique TRINQUAND - Ancien chef de la mission militaire française auprès de l'ONU, auteur de D'un monde à l'autre- Marie JEGO - Journaliste - Le Monde et ancienne correspondante à Moscou- Vera GRANTSEVA - Politologue -Spécialiste de la Russie- Alain PIROT- Journaliste et réalisateur, spécialiste des questions de défense

Nova sondagem classificou o orçamento do Partido Trabalhista como o pior desde 1993. Anthony Albanese procura afastar a preocupação de que as reformas fiscais possam vir a prejudicar futuros investidores imobiliários. Após um dos maiores ataques noturnos lançados pela Ucrânia contra o território russo, Volodymyr Zelenskyy afirma que a capacidade de ataque com drones de longo alcance está a mudar o rumo da guerra. Um ataque com drone atingiu uma central nuclear nos Emirados Árabes Unidos, provocando um incêndio, mas sem libertação de radiação. Estas e outras notícias em destaque no noticiário de hoje.

“The person who has always been my uncle, and whenever he comes to the house, I'm running to him. He buys me sweets, this is like my uncle. And then one day they said, oh, this your husband. I'm like, what? At that point I hated myself, I hated my mum because I wanted an adult to fight for me but she just did not have it to fight because she was so scared of my dad.” BBC journalist Megha Mohan speaks to Sierra Leone's first lady, Fatima Bio, about escaping child marriage at the age of 13, rebuilding her life as a refugee in London, and her rise to become one of the country's most outspoken public figures. Since becoming first lady, Bio has transformed the role in Sierra Leone, campaigning publicly on issues including child marriage, sexual violence and period poverty. To supporters, she is a refreshing voice in politics, who speaks up for women and girls, while others say she has overstepped her remit and that she is too vocal and too involved in the running of her husband's party.

Gov't touts Taiwan as a full APEC member The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is insisting that Taiwan remains a full APEC member. It comes after China's Taiwan Affairs Office said Taiwan's participation in the forum is conducted under the "one-China principle." China is hosting this year's APEC events. The foreign ministry here in Taipei says Taiwan formally became a full APEC member economy in 1991 under the name "Chinese Taipei" through the signing of an accession (正式加入) MOU. The ministry is also calling on Beijing to "fulfill its duties and commitments as APEC host in accordance with APEC guidelines, standards, and practices." Taipei expands rat control measures, seeks national monitoring model And, The Taipei City Government's Department of Environmental Protection says its stepping up efforts against rodent infestations by expanding tracking methods … .. while also call central government to establish a unified national monitoring system to better assess (評估) pest control effectiveness. According to the department, until such a system is established, the city will expand its use of the "trap-night" method, while also tracking active rat burrows and public reports as indicators of infestation trends. The department also says it currently has more than 80 disinfection specialists, each assisted by one or two cleaning workers, which should be sufficient to meet current demand. Russia Launches Massive Drone Attack on Ukraine Russia has launched a massive daytime drone attack on Ukraine, firing at least 800 drones across 20 regions of the country.

Zelenskyy is warning of possible cruise and ballistic missile attacks by Moscow following the drone barrage (猛烈的攻擊).

Putins uttalande om ett möjligt slut på kriget gav rubriker men frågan är om han menar allvar. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. För ovanlighetens skull har Vladimir Putin nämnt Ukrainas president Volodymyr Zelenskyj vid namn och öppnat för ett möte, men bara om ett slutgiltigt fredsavtal finns på plats. I veckans avsnitt pratar vi om hur Putins olika uttalanden den senaste tiden ska tolkas och om ett krigsslut faktiskt kommit närmare. I Kreml sägs i alla fall ett dokument finnas om hur en fred ska säljas in som en seger till ryssarna, trots att de ursprungliga målen inte har uppnåtts.Veckans gäster är Jakob Hedenskog, analytiker på Centrum för Östeuropastudier vid Utrikespolitiska institutet, Sveriges radios Rysslandskorrespondent Fredrik Wadström och direkt från Kiev, Sveriges radios Ukrainakorrespondent Lubna El-Shanti.Programledare: Johanna Melén.Producent: Åsa Welander.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Iran is accused of sending IRGC commandos onto Kuwaiti territory during the fragile Gulf ceasefire, raising fears the region's shadow war is still escalating behind the scenes. The war with Iran is reportedly accelerating U.S.-Ukraine defense cooperation, with Washington and Kyiv now pursuing a landmark drone and air defense agreement as modern warfare rapidly evolves. Frustrations between Kyiv and the Trump administration appear to be boiling over, as President Volodymyr Zelensky increasingly distances Ukraine from what was once its most important ally. And in today's Back of the Brief — North Korea's support for Russia's war effort is reportedly fueling the country's biggest economic growth surge in nearly a decade, as Pyongyang earns billions supplying troops, missiles, and ammunition to Moscow.

“Russians collected all Kenyans and did everything for them to go to the front line, to go to the death zone.”Waihiga Mwaura speaks to Yurii Tokar the Ukraine ambassador to Kenya. The Ukrainian claims Russia deliberately deployed many conscripted Kenyans to the front line of the Russia-Ukraine war shortly before the Kenyan foreign minister arrived in Moscow with the intention of stopping recruitment of his countrymen.The Russian embassy in Kenya did not immediately respond to the BBC's request for comment. It has previously denied any Government involvement in the illegal recruitment of Kenyan citizens. A representative of Kenya's Ministry of Foreign Affairs told the BBC that "the government is not aware of such allegations and treats them as possible rumours and propaganda.”Thank you to the Focus on Africa team for its help in making this programme.

Froman offers his interpretation of the Trump administration's mixed messages, glib metaphors, and ever-shifting strategy in its military campaign against Tehran; previews this week's summit in Beijing between President Trump and Xi Jinping; and tries to make sense of why Trump has effectively sided with Vladimir Putin over Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the very moment when Ukraine seems better-positioned than ever to prevail in combat over Russia.

For decades, Russia's Victory Day parade has brought tanks and intercontinental ballistic missiles to Red Square to celebrate the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany. But not this year. Russia's President Vladimir Putin scaled back the event due to the risk of a Ukrainian long range attack on Moscow. At the same time, media reports citing a European intelligence service suggest security is increasing around Putin and there's even a risk of a coup. Today, Matthew Sussex, Russia expert at the Australian National University on Putin's paranoia and whether Ukraine has cards to play in the conflict. Featured: Matthew Sussex, associate professor at the Centre for European Studies at the Australian National University

“It's outrageous because these nuclear plant facilities were certified by the International Atomic Energy Agency as purely peaceful facilities. The inspectors, they spent, there, a lot of time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Iran is the most verifiable country, thousands of inspections. The agency knows everything about what is going on.” BBC journalist Farnaz Ghazizadeh speaks to Mikhail Ivanovich Ulyanov, Russia's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, about the collapse of diplomacy over Iran's nuclear programme and whether negotiations can still be rescued. With decades of experience in disarmament and nuclear negotiations, Ulyanov insists Iran's nuclear programme is already among the most heavily monitored in the world, and argues concerns over the programme have been exaggerated. Now, as conflict in the region intensifies, Russia is offering to act as a mediator. The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

C dans l'air l'invité du 9 mai avec Elsa Vidal, chroniqueuse internationale pour BFM et auteure de "Que pensent les Russes ?" chez Gallimard. C'est un défilé modeste qu'ont proposé les autorités russes ce matin à l'occasion des célébrations du 81ème anniversaire de la victoire de l'Union soviétique sur l'Allemagne nazie. Pas de chars ni de missiles et une sécurité renforcée pour déjouer la menace brandie par Volodymyr Zelensky quelques jours plus tôt. Malgré l'annonce d'un cessez-le feu de 3 jours par Donald Trump hier soir, la tension est de plus en plus palpable côté russe. Une note des renseignements européens révélée par le Financial Times cette semaine confirme la paranoïa grandissante de Vladimir Poutine. Après plus de 4 ans de guerre, est-il plus affaibli que jamais ? Quel est l'état de l'opinion publique russe ? D'où pourrait venir le coup de grâce pour le Président russe au pouvoir depuis plus de 25 ans ?

durée : 00:14:44 - Journal de 8 h - La Russie célèbre ce samedi la victoire sur l'Allemagne nazie avec un défilé sur la place Rouge, confortée in extremis par l'entrée en vigueur d'une trêve de trois jours annoncée la veille par Donald Trump et acceptée par le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky.

In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard is joined by Olga Oliker, Crisis Group's European Security director, to discuss the latest developments in Ukraine, more than four years into full-scale war with Russia. They talk about the mood in Kyiv, recent battlefield dynamics and how Ukraine's military continues to adapt as the war grinds on. They discuss the fallout from the war in the Gulf, including pressure on global missile interceptor stocks and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's diplomatic outreach to Gulf Arab states. They also unpack domestic politics in Ukraine and Russia, including growing criticism of President Vladimir Putin from nationalist circles and Moscow's anxiety around Victory Day. They also look at Putin's call for a ceasefire, seemingly motivated by fear that Ukrainian strikes will disrupt Victory Day celebrations. For more, check out our Ukraine page. Hosted on Acast.

Fiona Hill has spent her career trying to understand—and, in one case, advise— leaders with grandiose ambitions, high risk tolerance, and an unshakeable sense of themselves as world-historic figures. She has been a close observer of Vladimir Putin for decades, as a scholar and a member of the U.S. intelligence community. In Donald Trump's first term, she was a senior member of the National Security Council before becoming a household name during Trump's first impeachment, for testifying about his relationship with Putin and with Volodymyr Zelensky. Now, Hill is watching as Trump and Putin, as well as Xi Jinping and others, upend global order, and policymakers everywhere try to navigate the most turbulent period in recent memory—while the rest of the world tries to discern what might come in its wake. Dan Kurtz-Phelan spoke to Hill on the morning of Tuesday, May 5, about the wars in Ukraine and Iran, the predicament faced by American allies, and what Trump's second-term foreign policy will mean for the future of American power.

Na een ijskoude, dodelijke oorlogswinter is er nu plotseling optimisme in Oekraïne. Want dankzij militaire innovatie houdt Oekraïne stand aan het front en wil de hele wereld de drones van president Zelensky hebben.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Evolution of Ukrainian IdentityVolodymyr Zelenskyy, a Russian-speaking Jewish entertainer and businessman, represents a shift toward a civic Ukrainian identity rather than an ethnic one. His 2019 election victory was rooted in a desire for an outsider to fix the failing political system and find a path to peace with Moscow. Because of his background, Zelenskyy initially believed he could negotiate directly with Putin. His presidency highlights that being Ukrainian is now defined by a commitment to the state rather than language or religion, directly contradicting Putin's "one people" myth. Guest: Professor Eugene Finkel. (6/8)1890

Last week Cyprus was at the heart of EU developments. For two days it hosted leaders from the EU, from the Middle East, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Topics ranged from critical security issues and the war in Iran, to Europe's engagement with the broader Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. On the security front, Cyprus is keen to make the EU's Article 42.7, a mutual defense clause similar to NATO's Article 5, work in practice. There is a new sense of urgency around this issue after Cyprus was targeted by drones amid the fallout of the Iran war, and as a result of questions about Washington's commitments to NATO and European security. Konstantinos Letymbiotis, Ian Lesser, and Alexis Papachelas join Thanos Davelis this week as we break down the key takeaways from the EU leaders summit in Cyprus, including the debate around Article 42.7. In addition, we discuss French President Emanuel Macron's visit to Cyprus and Greece, a visit that raised important questions about Europe's future and its geopolitical role.  Taking us to our I am HALC segment, we're highlighting Judge Tom Sianis, a longtime member of HALC with a lifetime commitment to public service and justice. Elected to serve as a Cook County Circuit Court Judge in 2018, Judge Sianis is currently Presiding Judge of the First Municipal District. Throughout his career Tom has been a shining example of Hellenism in public service, from when his career took off at the Cook County State's Attorney's Office to his election to the bench. A little more info on our guests: Konstantinos Letymbiotis is the government spokesperson of the Republic of Cyprus. Ian Lesser is the vice president and Brussels chief of the German Marshall Fund of the United States. Alexis Papachelas is the Executive Editor of Kathimerini.

“When we only had reconnaissance drones, we learned fast. We began attaching warheads to the drones. Grenades, then homemade munitions that we produced ourselves. We would locate the enemy with the drone and drop them on him. Then FPV drones entered our lives. An FPV drone is a one-way, disposable drone. That was when the way of war began to change” In a rare interview, Sarah Rainsford speaks to Robert Brovdi, commander of Ukraine's drone forces, about the rapid evolution of drone warfare and how it is reshaping Russia's war in Ukraine. Drones are now being used to strike oil facilities and military targets deep inside Russian territory but initially were used just to spot Russian forces. Commander Brovdi was among the first to see their true potential and, as technology advanced, drones began to change everything on the battlefield.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: U.S. negotiators head toward talks with Iran, but growing signs of internal division in Tehran raise a critical question: are the officials at the table actually in control? Israel reveals it has uncovered an Iranian terror network targeting Israeli officials and assets abroad, offering new insight into Tehran's global reach. Ukraine continues its campaign against Russia's energy sector, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying strikes wiped out more than $2.3 billion in oil revenues in March alone.
