The effects of volatile international markets are currently being felt in the bank accounts of UK dairy farmers. Milk prices paid by processors started tumbling in the autumn and there've been further drops this month. Dairy Analyst Chris Walkland discusses the impact of President Trump's trade policy on milk production in the US, which has coincided with a boom in UK and European milk output...leading to a bust. We also consider whether further US trade tariffs as leverage over Greenland could further destabilise dairy trade.We meet a Welsh farmer adding Sunflowers to the cattle feed crops grown on his farm, to cut his feed bill in volatile times. The European Parliament has voted to refer a deal with the South American trade bloc Mercosur to the European Court of Justice, in a move which could see a two year delay in the agreement coming into operation, or even derail it altogether. The European Commission signed the deal with Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay on Saturday. But yesterday MEPs decided its legality needs to be tested. If a water company pollutes rivers or releases sewage illegally, it can be taken to court and fined. The government has just announced that it's reinvesting £29 million pounds from these fines into more than 100 projects to improve 450km of rivers, restore 650 acres of natural habitats and plant 100,000 new trees. The money collected from precious water company fines between April 2022 and 23 was put into a Water Restoration Fund and it's already being spent on local projects. We visit one, on the River Witham in Lincolnshire.Presenter: Caz Graham Producer: Sarah Swadling

Estamos en plena temporada de verano y, sin embargo, muchas veces se habla de alquileres de temporada en Uruguay desde la intuición, la experiencia personal o el entusiasmo… pero no desde los números reales. En este episodio del Podcast del Club del Inversor, analizamos en profundidad cómo está funcionando el mercado de alquileres turísticos en Uruguay para la temporada verano 2025/2026, poniendo el foco en lo que realmente importa: precios, ocupación, costos, impuestos y rentabilidad neta. A lo largo del episodio recorremos los principales destinos turísticos del país —Punta del Este, Rocha, Piriápolis, Costa de Oro, Montevideo y Colonia— y desarmamos el negocio del alquiler de temporada como lo que es: una inversión inmobiliaria con números, gestión y riesgos, no una promesa automática de rentabilidad. Algunos de los temas que abordamos en este episodio: Precios reales de alquiler en temporada alta por zona y tipo de propiedad Diferencias de rendimiento entre apartamentos y casas Impacto de la ocupación y la estacionalidad en la rentabilidad Ejemplos completos de facturación y rentabilidad neta Costos ocultos: limpieza, mantenimiento, roturas, servicios e impuestos Airbnb, Booking e inmobiliarias: cuándo conviene cada modalidad Comparación entre alquiler turístico y alquiler tradicional Comparación con instrumentos financieros en Uruguay Además, reflexionamos sobre un punto clave que muchas veces se pasa por alto: no es lo mismo analizar una propiedad como inversión financiera que como decisión de estilo de vida. Usar la propiedad, disfrutarla o reservar fechas para uno mismo también impacta directamente en los números. La entrada [296] Alquileres de temporada 2026: Rentabilidades se publicó primero en .

Bank executives have repeatedly decried the uniform cap, saying it'll cause lenders to have to pull credit lines for consumers.  Source: zerohedge.com Trump sues JPMorgan Chase and CEO Jamie Dimon for $5B over alleged ‘political’ debanking The lawsuit claims JPMorgan’s decision ‘came about as a result of political and social motivations’ to ‘distance itself’ Trump and his ‘conservative political views’  President Donald Trump is suing JPMorgan Chase and its CEO Jamie Dimon in a $5 billion lawsuit filed Thursday, accusing the financial institution of debanking him for political reasons.

If those dependencies are severed, if each country has the ability to feed, produce and innovate independently, then the entire dependency model around globalism collapses. Within the globalism model that was historically created there was a group of people, western nations, banks, finance and various government leaders, who controlled the organization and rules of the trade dependencies.  The action being taken for self-sufficiency, in combination with the approach promoted by President Trump that each nation state should generate their own needs, then the rules-based order that has existed for global trade will collapse. If nations are no longer dependent, they become sovereign – able to exist without the need for support from other nations and systems. If nations are indeed sovereign, then globalism is no longer needed and a threat of the unknown rises. How will nations engage with each other if there is no governing body of western elites to make the rules for engagement?  The need for control is a reaction to fear, and it is the fear of self-reliance that permeates the elitist class within the control structures.   If each nation of the world is operating according to its individual best interests, the position of Donald Trump, then what happens to the governing elite who set up the system of interdependencies. This is the core of their fear. If each nation can suddenly grow tea, what happens to the East India Tea Company.  Who then sets the price for the tea, and worse still an entire distribution system (ships, ports, exchanges, banks, etc.) becomes functionally obsolescent.

Conservative journalist Kaitlin Bennett revealed this week that she was charged with a federal crime and fined by the National Park Service in St. Augustine for the so-called offense of asking Democrats questions on public property. According to Bennett, federal agents targeted her while she was conducting on-the-street interviews, a form of journalism protected by the First Amendment. Despite being on public land, Bennett says she was cited and punished simply for engaging in political speech that the Left finds inconvenient. Bennett addressed the incident directly in a post on X, writing: https://twitter.com/KaitMarieox/status/2014174254799958148?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2014174254799958148%7Ctwgr%5Ef4a6650cd0c60d38edfea018c5665c2cc2fe5199%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Ftwo-tier-justice-conservative-journalist-kaitlin-bennett-charged%2F When asked by another local journalist exactly what “lawful order” Bennett had disobeyed, the ranger reportedly could not provide a straight answer.

A moment between the two went viral when Kasky casually declared that President Donald Trump had been involved in an international sex trafficking ring. Jennings wasn't going to let that remark go unchallenged by host John Berman. The topic of conversation had been Trump's interest in Greenland and the Nobel Peace Prize, but Kasky threw in a jab at Trump with an allusion to the president's relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — an allusion Kasky's now trying to walk back. “I would love it if he was more transparent about the human sex trafficking network that he was a part of, but you can't win 'em all,” he blurted out. https://twitter.com/overton_news/status/2013455047288377517?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2013455047288377517%7Ctwgr%5E20edbbd712c7076d1aafdac2d1e39d7eb8307263%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fcnn-panelist-issues-retraction-apology-going-far-air%2F   Berman asked Jennings a follow-up question about Greenland, but instead of addressing that, Jennings circled back to Kasky's remark. “You're gonna let that sit?” Jennings asked Berman. “Are we going to claim here on CNN that the president is part of a global sex trafficking ring or …?” After assuring Jennings that he would do the fact-checking, Berman asked Kasky to repeat what he'd said about the global sex-trafficking ring. “That Donald Trump was … probably … very involved with it,” the arrogant young man replied, with perhaps a touch less confidence. To Berman's credit, and the CNN legal team's, he immediately said, “Donald Trump has never been charged with any crimes in relation to Jeffrey Epstein.” https://twitter.com/camkasky/status/2013760245298864477?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2013760245298864477%7Ctwgr%5E20edbbd712c7076d1aafdac2d1e39d7eb8307263%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fcnn-panelist-issues-retraction-apology-going-far-air%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2014189561002291385?s=20 DOGE Geopolitical https://twitter.com/brentdsadler/status/2014311942119137584?s=20  important as these agreements cover the entirety of the Chagos group of islands/features. Critical as future third party presence in those areas proximate Diego Garcia could in practical terms render those U.S. military facilities operationally impractical (ie useless).

Negotiated for over 25 years, it aims to create one of the world’s largest free trade zones, covering more than 700 million people and reducing tariffs on goods like cars, machinery, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural products.  It includes commitments on sustainability, labor rights, and environmental protections, but critics argue these are insufficient to address issues like Amazon deforestation and unfair competition for European farmers. The agreement was politically finalized in 2019 but faced delays due to environmental concerns and opposition from countries like France and Austria. It was formally signed on January 17, 2026, after EU member states (with a qualified majority, despite opposition from five countries including France) greenlit it on January 9.  The Stupidity of Davos Explained Using an Example of Their Own Creation China is manufacturing a product to create a carbon credit certificate in response to the demand for carbon credits from all the world auto-makers.  Any nation that has a penalty or fine attached to their climate goals is a customer. Those are nations with fines or quotas associated with the production of gasoline powered engines if the auto company doesn't hit the legislated target for sales of electric vehicles. In essence, EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car companies buy Chinese car company carbon credits, to avoid the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN fines.  The Chinese then use the carbon credit revenue to subsidize even lower priced Chinese EVs to the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car markets, thereby undercutting the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car companies that also produce EVs. China brilliantly exploits the ridiculous pontificating climate scam and has an interest in perpetuating -even emphasizing- the need for the EU/AU/RU/ASEAN countries to keep pushing their climate agenda.  China even goes so far as to fund alarmism research about climate change because they are making money selling carbon credit certificates on the back end of the scam to the western fear mongers.  This is friggin' brilliant.   The climate change alarmists are helping China's economy by pushing ever escalating fear of climate change.  You just cannot make this stuff up. What does the outcome look like? Well, in this example we see hundreds of thousands of unsold BYDs piling up in countries that emphasize climate regulations with no restrictions on the import of EVs (which most don't even manufacture), which is almost every country.  Big Panda doesn't care about the car itself; they care about generating the carbon credit certificate to sell in the various carbon exchanges. Put this context to the recent announcement by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about his new trade deal with China to accept 49,000 EVs this year. Prime Minister Carney bragged about getting the Chinese to agree to only super low prices for the Canadian market.  Mark Carney was very proud of his accomplishment to get much lower priced vehicles for Canadian EV purchasers.   No doubt Big Panda left the room laughing as soon as Carney made his grand announcement. 1. China sells EV's in Canada, creating credits available on the carbon exchange scheme. Europe et al will purchase the carbon credits because Bussels has fines against EU car companies. 2. With a foothold already established in Europe, China will then take the money generated by the carbon credit purchases and lower the prices of the Chinese EV cars sold in Canada. It's gets funnier. 3. Carney bragged about forcing China to only sell low price EV's as part of the trade agreement. The low price of the EV's in Canada will be subsidized by Europe. China doesn't pay or lose a dime. But wait…. 4. Carney can't do anything about the scheme he has just enmeshed Canada into, because Canada has a Carbon Credit exchange in law.

La primera parte del programa está dedicada a comentar la actualidad. Nos centraremos en el acuerdo comercial entre la Unión Europea y el bloque sudamericano Mercosur, formado por Argentina, Brasil, Paraguay y Uruguay. Después, analizaremos los esfuerzos de Europa para mantenerse unida frente al rápido cambio del orden mundial. Nuestra siguiente noticia tratará sobre las tasas globales de fertilidad, que están cayendo más rápido de lo que los expertos habían previsto. Un descenso así plantea la posibilidad de una reducción de la población mundial en un futuro próximo. Y, por último, hablaremos del aumento en los precios de entrada al Museo del Louvre de París para la mayoría de los visitantes no europeos. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema gramatical de la semana, The Present Perfect Subjunctive. En esta conversación hablaremos de la entrada de España en la Unión Europea. Desde el 1 de enero de 1985, somos europeos. Esta etapa está llena de éxitos, pero también de quejas. El sector primario español, tanto el agrícola como el pesquero, se siente muy perjudicado. Y en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española: Irse por las ramas. La emplearemos para hablar de la literatura barroca. Una de sus características fundamentales es la complejidad de sus recursos formales. En contraposición, la compararemos con la literatura del realismo, que muestra la realidad de forma clara. Pero, ¿es una mejor que la otra? ¡Cada cual elige!   La UE firma un pacto económico con Mercosur que desata la reacción de los euroescépticos Europa lucha por mantenerse unida ante el rápido cambio del orden mundial Los modelos predicen que la humanidad podría reducirse antes de lo previsto El Louvre apunta a los turistas extranjeros con un gran aumento del precio de la entrada Entrada de España en la Comunidad Económica Europea Literatura española del Barroco

Wie immer ist der erste Teil unseres Programms aktuellen Ereignissen gewidmet. Wir beginnen mit dem Freihandelsabkommen zwischen der EU und dem südamerikanischen Staatenbund Mercosur, der aus Argentinien, Brasilien, Paraguay und Uruguay besteht. Danach sprechen wir über die Bemühungen der EU, angesichts der sich rasant verändernden Weltordnung geeint zu bleiben. In unserem Wissenschaftsteil diskutieren wir heute über die weltweiten Geburtenraten, die schneller sinken als von Experten vorhergesagt. Ein solcher Rückgang lässt für die nahe Zukunft eine Schrumpfung der Weltbevölkerung erwarten. Und zum Schluss sprechen wir über die Erhöhung der Eintrittspreise des Louvre in Paris für die meisten nicht-europäischen Besucher. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf Verbs with Prepositions – (Part 3). Es geht um den Börsencrash, oder den sogenannten „Schwarzen Freitag", am 25. Oktober 1929. Er führte zu einer Massenarbeitslosigkeit in Deutschland und ließ die politische Stimmung kippen – mit verheerenden Folgen. Unsere Redewendung diese Woche ist Mit jemandem durch dick und dünn gehen. Wir werfen einen tieferen Blick auf den demografischen Wandel in Deutschland. Das Bild, das sich ergibt, ist klar: Die Ehe befindet sich im Rückzug.   EU und Mercosur-Staaten unterzeichnen umstrittenes Handelsabkommen Europa unter Druck: Zusammenhalt in einer neuen Weltordnung Modelle prognostizieren schnelleres Schrumpfen der Weltbevölkerung als erwartet Der Louvre wird teurer für ausländische Touristen Der Börsencrash von 1929 in Deutschland Die Ehe im Rückzug

Amid a global context of eroding multilateralism and rising US trade wars, Mercosur and the European Union are trying to create a shared market for more than 700 million people. The proposed free trade zone for goods and services encompasses 27 European countries, plus Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay on the other side of the Atlantic, with Bolivia in the process of joining as well. Combined, the economies involved in the deal make up for approximately 20% of global GDP.The deal was finally signed on January 17, after more than 26 years of back-and-forth negotiations. But yet again, European farming countries are doing whatever they can to stall its implementation. On January 21, European lawmakers backed a resolution to seek an opinion from the EU's Court of Justice on whether the free-trade deal complies with existing EU treaties.That could stall the deal by up to two years — although the agreement's backers, such as Germany, are trying to go ahead and implement it on a provisional basis until the court says its piece. Send us your feedbackSupport the show

Si apre la seconda giornata del World Economic Forum di Davos, che riunisce circa 3.000 partecipanti da 130 Paesi, tra cui 65 capi di Stato e di governo e 850 leader dell'economia globale. Donald Trump è intervenuto per la prima volta dopo sei anni, con un discorso segnato da toni duri verso l'Europa. Sulla Groenlandia ha escluso l'uso della forza, chiedendo però l'avvio immediato di negoziati e avvertendo che "si ricorderà" di chi si opporrà. Ha poi affrontato i rapporti transatlantici, rilanciando provocazioni verso la Francia, annunciando un incontro con il presidente ucraino Zelensky e difendendo l'uso dei dazi come strumenti punitivi. Sulla NATO ha ribadito l'adesione degli Stati Uniti, esprimendo però dubbi sulla reciprocità dell'impegno europeo. Trump è arrivato con una delegazione particolarmente ampia, che include il segretario di Stato Marco Rubio, il segretario al Tesoro Scott Bessent, il responsabile del Commercio Howard Lutnick e l'inviato speciale Steve Witkoff: secondo il presidente del WEF Børge Brende, la più consistente degli ultimi anni.Il Forum si svolge in un clima profondamente diverso rispetto al passato: i temi "woke", come diversità e inclusione, sono stati di fatto marginalizzati, riflettendo una crescente polarizzazione globale e la competizione tra grandi potenze, riassunta dal tema ufficiale A Spirit of Dialogue. È inoltre il primo Davos senza Klaus Schwab alla guida: dopo le sue dimissioni, la governance è passata a una leadership ad interim con Larry Fink e André Hoffmann, mentre Brende ricopre il ruolo di presidente e amministratore delegato.Nessun aggiornamento sulla presenza della premier Giorgia Meloni, che sta valutando l'invito di Trump a entrare nel Board of Peace per Gaza; tra le ipotesi, una partecipazione al summit senza firmare immediatamente la carta istitutiva. Approfondiamo il tutto con: Gianluca Di Donfrancesco, Il Sole 24 Ore e con Marco Magnani, Professore di International Economics, LUISS Guido Carli.Passa il blitz al PE contro il Mercosur, l'accordo va alla Corte UEIl Parlamento europeo ha deciso di chiedere alla Corte di Giustizia dell'Unione europea un parere giuridico sull'accordo di partenariato tra UE e Mercosur, firmato dopo oltre 25 anni di negoziati. La mozione è stata approvata con una maggioranza risicatissima e sostenuta da sinistra, verdi e liberali. Il ricorso alla Corte non blocca l'applicazione provvisoria dell'accordo, già decisa dal Consiglio, che scatterà però solo dopo la ratifica da parte di almeno uno dei quattro Paesi coinvolti: Brasile, Argentina, Paraguay e Uruguay.La richiesta di parere giuridico viene letta da molti come un tentativo politico di indebolire l'intesa, che punta a rafforzare l'influenza economica europea in Sud America in un contesto di crescenti tensioni globali. Mentre il mondo industriale guarda con favore alle nuove opportunità commerciali, il settore agricolo europeo esprime forti preoccupazioni. Una seconda mozione, presentata dai partiti di destra con lo stesso obiettivo, è stata invece bocciata. La decisione del Parlamento rinvia di fatto il voto di ratifica, inizialmente previsto tra febbraio e aprile. Esponenti della sinistra e dei verdi hanno rivendicato il risultato come una vittoria politica e una riaffermazione del ruolo dello Stato di diritto a livello europeo. Ne discutiamo con Adriana Cerretelli, editorialista Il Sole 24 Ore - Bruxelles.

After 25 years of negotiations, the European Union has signed the Mercosur trade deal. Farmers across Europe have been out on the streets protesting against it and farming unions in the UK warn that it could threaten the future of family farms. The free trade deal between the EU and Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay gives European businesses access to a market of more than 250 million people and is seen as a way of offsetting business lost because of US tariffs. However it will also open the door to tariff-free imports of food, particularly beef, which European farmers argue is not produced to the same standards. The deal was not approved by all EU countries, France and Ireland were among those voting against, and it will have to be ratified by the European Parliament. All week we're focusing on what farm animals are eating this winter, from grains to soy and silage: it is a mixture of forage, things grown on the farm like hay or silage; and feed that's bought in from the UK or abroad. A combination of geopolitical events, a challenging UK harvest, and an exceptionally dry summer in some areas has put pressure on the supplies of feed. The Agricultural Industries Confederation (AIC) says the UK needs a national protein strategy to safeguard feed security because that impacts food securityPresenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée en public à Sciences Po Paris le 16 janvier 2026.Avec cette semaine :Antoine Foucher, consultant, spécialiste des questions sociales, auteur de Sortir du travail qui ne paie plus.Nicole Gnesotto, vice-présidente de l'Institut Jacques Delors.Marc-Olivier Padis, directeur des études de la fondation Terra Nova.Michaela Wiegel, correspondante à Paris de la Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.DE QUOI LE MERCOSUR EST-IL DEVENU LE SYMBOLE ?Après plus de vingt-six ans de négociations, l'accord de libre-échange entre l'Union européenne et quatre pays du Mercosur (Argentine, Brésil, Paraguay, Uruguay) a été approuvé à Bruxelles par les États membres de l'UE à la majorité qualifiée, le 9 janvier. La France s'y est opposée, avec la Pologne, la Hongrie, l'Autriche et l'Irlande. La présidente de la Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, a paraphé samedi le traité au Paraguay. L'accord Mercosur, n'est pas un accord agricole mais un accord global où l'UE a beaucoup à gagner dans le secteur des biens industriels et des services actuellement très protégé, tandis que certains pays craignent la concurrence dans les domaines agricoles les plus sensibles de l'UE : le bœuf, la volaille et le sucre.Le débat franco-français sur le Mercosur reflète des intérêts divergents et s'inscrit dans une crise plus large de l'agriculture française. Parmi les pro-Mercosur la filière des vins et des spiritueux, l'un des piliers de la puissance française agricole à l'export avec 15,6 milliards d'euros expédiés en 2024. Avec eux, les producteurs et industriels du lait, qui trouvent des avantages à l'accord. En tête des adversaires, les éleveurs de bovins, de volaille et les betteraviers. Première puissance agricole de l'UE, la France est enlisée dans une « colère des agriculteurs » qui revient par vagues incessantes. Pourtant, l'International Trade Center indique qu'« en 2024, la France a exporté 7 milliards d'euros de marchandises vers les pays du Mercosur, soit environ 1,2% des exportations totales, et a importé un peu plus de 3 milliards d'euros de marchandises, soit environ 0,5% des importations totales. » Toutefois, si l'impact macroéconomique de ce traité avec le Mercosur ne devrait pas peser très fort, il est éminemment symbolique.Pour Jean-Luc Demarty, ancien Directeur général du Commerce extérieur de la Commission européenne, « en réalité le Mercosur est devenu le bouc émissaire des problèmes de compétitivité de l'agriculture française, qui se jouent essentiellement à l'intérieur de l'UE. Entre 2010 et 2024 », constate-t-il, « le revenu agricole ne progresse que de 15% en France contre 77% en moyenne européenne, 170% en Italie, 86% en Pologne et 79% en Espagne. » Selon lui, les chiffres montrent sans ambigüité que « cette situation est imputable à la politique agricole et économique nationale, du Grenelle de l'environnement de Nicolas Sarkozy à l'agroécologie de François Hollande poursuivie souvent en pire par Emmanuel Macron ». Excès de normes, surtransposition de normes européennes souvent déjà excessives, bureaucratie, impossibilité de construire ou d'agrandir des bâtiments d'élevage, fiscalité plus élevée, priorité aux exploitations trop petites et limitation de leur taille, coût du travail en particulier pour les fruits et l'abattage, sont en cause.Dans un monde où Donald Trump se retire de 66 organisations internationales et déclenche une guerre commerciale avec le reste du globe, l'alliance euro-sud-américaine prend une importance géopolitique cruciale.QUI AUX CÔTÉS DE L'IRAN ? La contestation, déclenchée le 28 décembre par les commerçants du grand bazar de Téhéran en raison de la chute vertigineuse du rial, qui a perdu en un an plus de la moitié de sa valeur face au dollar, s'est rapidement étendue à tout le pays et a pris une tournure politique, avec des appels à la chute de la République islamique. L'économie iranienne est minée par les sanctions internationales, ainsi que par des années de mauvaise gouvernance et de corruption endémique. Le dossier nucléaire est dans l'impasse : les négociations sont à l'arrêt depuis plusieurs mois, privant Téhéran de toute perspective de levée des sanctions. Après des menaces répétées de Donald Trump d'intervenir militairement si la répression du mouvement de contestation en Iran se poursuivait – une répression qui aurait fait des centaines voire des milliers de morts selon les ONG -, le régime iranien a riposté lundi en faisant descendre dans les rues des milliers de ses partisans dans la capitale. Selon l'analyste iranien Hamzeh Safavi, une partie des élites du pays réfléchit aux moyens de réorienter le pouvoir vers une ligne plus modérée.Le président américain a promis son aide aux manifestants, mais Washington hésite sur les moyens et l'objectif même d'une intervention. Lundi, la Maison Blanche avait affirmé que la possibilité de frappes aériennes pour mettre fin à la répression était toujours sur la table, mais que la diplomatie demeurait « la première option ». Mardi, le président américain a annoncé le gel de tout contact bilatéral et décrété la mise en place de taxes douanières punitives de 25% contre tout pays commerçant avec l'Iran. Une mesure susceptible de frapper notamment la Chine, principal partenaire commercial de Téhéran. La Chine défendra « résolument » ses intérêts, a répondu Pékin.En Israël, le 5 janvier, la presse a annoncé la validation, par le premier ministre, Benyamin Nétanyahou, et son cabinet de sécurité, d'une opération contre l'Iran baptisée « Iron Strike ». Toutefois, l'État hébreu cherche à éviter toute déclaration qui pourrait offrir au régime des mollahs l'ennemi extérieur dont il a besoin pour se ressouder.L'Union européenne est pour l'instant restée dans le registre de la condamnation évoquant cependant de possibles « nouvelles sanctions » contre Téhéran. Emmanuel Macron, l'Allemand Friedrich Merz et le Britannique Keir Starmer ont appelé les dirigeants iraniens à la « retenue ». Le chancelier est allé un peu plus loin lundi en « condamnant fermement la violence » du régime.Allié de Téhéran, Moscou poursuit sa coopération, notamment militaire, avec Téhéran, mais veille à ne pas sacrifier son rapprochement avec l'Amérique de Donald Trump sur l'autel d'un soutien plus poussé à la République islamique aux abois. En juin dernier déjà, pendant la « guerre des Douze-Jours » entre Israël et l'Iran, Téhéran avait appelé à la rescousse Moscou, qui s'était contenté de bonnes paroles. Cette retenue semble toujours à l'œuvre, côté russe.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Después de más de 20 años de negociaciones, esta semana se firma uno de los acuerdos comerciales más importantes de las últimas décadas: el Tratado de Libre Comercio entre el Mercosur y la Unión Europea. En este episodio especial del Podcast del Club del Inversor, analizamos el acuerdo sin slogans, sin fanatismo y sin humo, con una mirada clara desde la macroeconomía, la realidad uruguaya y el largo plazo. ¿Qué es realmente un tratado de libre comercio? ¿Quiénes lo firman y qué bloques están involucrados? ¿Por qué este acuerdo tardó más de dos décadas en cerrarse? ¿Qué cambió en el mundo para que hoy sí se firme? ¿Qué significa concretamente para Uruguay? ¿Quiénes pueden ganar y quiénes quedan más expuestos? ¿Dónde están las oportunidades reales para empresas e inversores? Este no es un episodio para escuchar apurado.Es un episodio para entender, ordenar ideas y pensar estratégicamente. Porque los tratados no hacen rico a nadie por sí solos.Lo que marca la diferencia es cómo se usan. La entrada [295] TLC MERCOSUR – Union Europea: ¿Qué significa? se publicó primero en .

Entrevista Federico De Castro - Gerente de la Unión de Vendedores de Nafta del Uruguay by En Perspectiva

Mercosur is a bad deal.The European Commission has backed a free trade agreement with Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. The European Parliament is set to decide on the future of the Mercosur Agreement. It has taken twenty-five years to get to this point. The European Commission has decided to support this proposition and the smart money says the Parliament will follow suit. But perhaps not. It's not over until it's over. There will be a legal challenge to the deal, including Sinn Féin's MEPs, and a vote in the European Parliament. Sinn Féin is also bringing forward a Dáil motion calling on the government to support the legal action and mandating all MEPs to vote against the deal. Nollaig na mBanSome of the traditions that surround Christmas and the New Year celebrations have changed over recent years. For example, when I was growing up Christmas decorations didn't start appearing in homes until a fortnight or so before the 25th December. Now, Halloween is barely over before Christmas decorations start appearing. Previously also, the tree, crib, and the rest all stayed in place until 6 January – the Feast of the Epiphany, the date on which it is said that the three wise men visited the baby Jesus in Bethlehem. This year decorations were mostly down from the start of the new year. And already Easter eggs are in the shops. However, one celebration that has taken on a new lease of life is Nollaig na mBan - Women's Christmas. It is celebrated on 6 January. It used to be confined to rural areas but that is changing.  Nollaig na mBan is the day when the role of women, who generally did  all the work for Christmas, was celebrated. It was the day when women get together with other women and enjoy a brief few hours of celebration on their own. Progress on Casement ParkLast week the draft budget for the Executive, announced by Finance Minister John O'Dowd, included an allocation of an additional £40 million toward the rebuilding of the new Casement Stadium.Sadly, despite the 1998 Good Friday Agreement and its principles of equality and parity of esteem, the decades since then have produced many examples of political unionism continuing to resist investment and funding allocation for nationalist areas. Casement Park is a case in point.Last week's announcement is a positive and welcome development.Irish Unity Must be Priority for EU PresidencyOn 1st July the Irish government will assume the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. This will be its eighth time holding this key administrative and political role within the EU and the first time since Brexit. The agenda for this Presidency is enormous and will affect all of our lives. It will include new legislation as well as significant negotiations around all of the major national and international issues affecting the world at this time – the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip, the war in Ukraine, Venezuela, threatened US Foreign Policy adventures toward Greenland, Cuba, Colombia, Nigeria and Iran, famine in Africa, climate change and migration.An Taoiseach Micheál Martin has defined the state's Presidency of the EU as “a Presidency defined by action.”All sounds impressive. But so far no one in the Irish government has said anything about using this unique opportunity to raise the issue of Irish Unity. Thus far, Micheál Martin's approach to Irish Unity can best be described as “a leadership defined by inaction.”

Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay y Paraguay celebran la aprobación en el Consejo de la Unión Europea del Acuerdo Mercosur-UE, el cual crea la mayor zona de libre comercio del mundo eliminando aranceles a más del 90% del comercio bilateral. "Es un gran paso porque traerá progreso para las dos regiones y por lo que representa en el contexto internacional actual", dijo a RFI Nicolás Albertoni, excanciller de Uruguay y ex negociador del acuerdo. El lunes, la presidenta de la Comisión Europea, Ursula von der Leyen firmará en Paraguay el acuerdo comercial que vinculará al bloque con los cuatro países del Mercosur. Tras un cuarto de siglo de complicadas negociaciones, marcadas por diferencias políticas y comerciales que amenazaban con hacerlo naufragar, el Acuerdo de Mercosur-UE recibió la luz verde de Bruselas. Radio Francia Internacional entrevistó a Nicolás Albertoni, excanciller de Uruguay que estuvo al frente de la fase de conclusión del Acuerdo en diciembre de 2024. RFI: ¿Cuál es la dimensión de este acuerdo entre los dos bloques de lado y lado del Atlántico y que estuvo a punto de no ver la luz? Estamos hablando del acuerdo más grande del mundo que abarca 700 millones de personas. No hay otro acuerdo de esta magnitud en el mundo. Hay que destacar al mismo tiempo su "regionalidad". Porque si bien Europa ha negociado acuerdos importantes con otros países, todavía no lo había hecho con una región como es el Mercosur, la cual abarca aproximadamente el 80% en todos los datos del PIB o del comercio de la región. Al hablar del 90% de apertura, esto significa que se abren más mercados. También es verdad que Mercosur tiene menos experiencia negociadora y es solo un bloque de cuatro países mientras que del otro lado estamos hablando de 27 socios que tienen una apertura más transversal entre ellos. Sí se va a tener que generar una lógica de mayor competencia, que es una experiencia a la que no se había enfrentado en esta magnitud. En el corto plazo va a haber más apertura de alimentos hacia Europa y más apertura de una industria europea hacia Mercosur.  Creo que en el mediano plazo va a ser positivo. Y habrá que enfrentarse a la competencia, que no es negativa por sí misma, en todos los rubros de las economías de ambas partes”. Además, va a tener un impacto absolutamente transversal que es difícil medir solamente en términos comerciales. Este acuerdo incluye cooperación, inversiones, también valores políticos que unían a las dos regiones. RFI: Numerosos agricultores europeos, especialmente los de Francia y Polonia, son reacios a esta firma e intentaron impedirla. Para convencerlos, los gobiernos de la Unión Europea respaldaron establecer cláusulas de salvaguarda en favor de ellos que permitirán al bloque reaccionar rápidamente ante las perturbaciones del mercado que pueda causar justamente el aumento de importaciones agrícolas procedentes del Mercosur. ¿Cuáles eran los principales temores en el Mercosur? Sobre los hechos ocurrido sen las últimas semanas, creo que el temor más grande era que no avanzara el acuerdo. Y es cierto que todas estas salvaguardas no eran el escenario ideal, pero en estos casos hay que ver el bien mayor y el bien mayor es tener un acuerdo. Y, en estos tiempos que vive el mundo, más allá de las razones netamente comerciales, esta es una inmensa señal geoeconómica. Porque también podría ser a la inversa. Es decir que, si esto no avanzaba, sería una señal geopolítica muy negativa. Por eso yo creo que pasada la firma, que era el hito técnico importante para concretarse, la política europea tiene que dar ahora una señal al mundo diciendo: "Señores, estamos para negociar, para avanzar y para acercarnos a una región complementaria y emergente como es América Latina".

Nuevo episodio del podcast – Deuda, orden y decisiones La gestión de deudas en Uruguay se volvió un tema central después de lo que dejaron 2024 y 2025 en el mundo de las inversiones: proyectos caídos, promesas incumplidas y esquemas de deuda que terminaron explotando. Todo eso dejó algo muy claro: antes de hablar de invertir, hay que hablar de orden financiero y finanzas personales. Para bajarlo a números y traerlo a nuestra realidad: cerca de un millón de uruguayos tienen deudas que hoy no pueden pagar o regularizar fácilmente. Por eso, en este episodio hablamos de deuda.No desde el juicio ni desde el miedo, sino desde el orden, la información y la realidad.Porque muchas veces el problema no es solo deber plata, sino no saber exactamente cuánto se debe, a quién y por dónde empezar. Para profundizar en este tema invité a los fundadores de MiDeuda (mideuda.com.uy), una plataforma uruguaya que trabaja justamente sobre ese punto: ayudar a las personas a ver con claridad su situación financiera y, a partir de ahí, empezar a ordenarla. En la charla hablamos de: Por qué nadie se endeuda “por gusto” Cómo se pierde el control casi sin darse cuenta Cuál es el perfil más común de las personas endeudadas hoy Qué errores se repiten una y otra vez Cómo transformar desorden en un plan posible Y hacia dónde va el negocio de la gestión de deuda en Uruguay También discutimos si las soluciones pasan por “perdonar” deudas o si el cambio real va por otro lado. Un episodio incómodo, necesario y muy real.Porque no se puede invertir bien si antes no hay orden. Disponible ahora en el podcast del Club del Inversor.

In this abridged January 2026 bonus episode of The Clean Energy Show, Brian Stockton and James Whittingham kick off the first podcast of 2026 with a packed update on clean tech, transportation, and air quality trends shaping the global energy transition. The show begins with developments in electric shipping, including Norway's autonomous container ship Yara Birkeland and testing of the world's largest battery-electric ferry, which will carry more than 2,000 passengers between Argentina and Uruguay. Listener mail sparks a brief but heated debate over whether corn is a vegetable, grain, or something else entirely. The main stories focus on dramatic improvements in Beijing's air quality, with PM2.5 pollution levels down nearly 75% since 2013, driven largely by China's rapid adoption of electric vehicles. The hosts also break down how BYD has surpassed Tesla as the world's largest EV seller, why Tesla's sales declined in 2025, and how brutal competition inside China is squeezing margins for everyone involved. Other highlights include China's claim of producing the world's first 100% recyclable wind turbine blade, signs that low-cost Chinese EVs could enter the U.S. market as early as 2027, and a wide-ranging Lightning Round covering batteries, heat pumps, solar growth, robotics, and plastics. The episode closes with a troubling investigation into toxic air contamination aboard commercial airplanes — a hidden pollution problem affecting crews and passengers alike.

Análisis Económico Exante - Logros y dilemas en materia de inflación: ¿Cuáles son las claves del escenario de precios que enfrenta hoy Uruguay? by En Perspectiva

Jeff Smith and Carson Odegard sit down with Dwight Jones, founder of Closaway Outfitters (Uruguay) and CEO of Okmulgee Fields Inc., to unpack a boutique, American-run operation built for wild birds, predictable shoots, and no-surprises pricing. From why shore blinds mean no waders, to how legal baiting and lead shape reliable duck hunts, to the perdiz over dogs that steal the show—this is a clean, honest look at South American wingshooting done right. Learn travel logistics (LATAM into Montevideo, 2h40 lodge transfer, hunt the day you arrive), what's truly wild vs. planted, and how Closaway keeps pressure low by resting ponds and limiting hunts. More at closaway.com/about-usEpisode highlightsWhy Uruguay, not just Argentina: high-quality mixed bag (ducks, dove/pigeon, wild perdiz) with shorter drives and afternoon duck hunts that “feel like a war at first light.”Predictable ducks, lower pressure: 30–50 ponds prepped each season, legal baiting, and ponds hunted only 2–3 times to keep birds finishing.All-inclusive, transparent pricing: airport transfers, daily gun rental, laundry, Wi-Fi, meals, and 125 shells/day included—no surprise add-ons at checkout.Guns, shells & safety: quality Beretta/Browning/Bennelli inventory, Magtech ammo, and shore setups that skip horses and chest-deep wades.Species & export notes: Rosybill, White-faced Whistling Duck, Speckled Teal—plus context on limited export rules for skins.Food & culture: Italian/Spanish-inspired meals, cook your harvest, and lodge life that feels like visiting a friend—not a hotel lobby.If you're curious about a wild, fair-chase South American hunt—without the shell-bill sticker shock—this one lays out the full playbook so you know exactly what you're getting into.

Dopo ventisei anni di negoziati e numerosi rinvii, il 12 gennaio la presidente della Commissione europea Ursula von der Leyen dovrebbe firmare l'accordo di libero scambio tra Ue e Mercosur. Il via libera formale degli Stati membri è atteso dal voto degli ambasciatori dei Ventisette, previsto come una formalità. L'Italia si appresta a cambiare posizione, passando dal no al sì dopo le rassicurazioni offerte dalla Commissione a tutela degli agricoltori, contribuendo così a garantire la maggioranza qualificata. Anche la Francia guarda con favore all'intesa, pur non potendo sostenerla apertamente per ragioni di politica interna. L'accordo assume un valore storico non solo per l'impatto economico, ma anche per la sua rilevanza geopolitica, diventando una risposta europea alla cosiddetta dottrina "Donroe" e alla crescente pressione statunitense nell'Emisfero occidentale. Bruxelles punta a rafforzare i legami politici e commerciali con Brasile, Argentina, Paraguay e Uruguay, considerati partner strategici anche per l'approvvigionamento di materie prime. Restano però forti le opposizioni del mondo agricolo, soprattutto in Italia. La Commissione rivendica un pacchetto di tutele senza precedenti per il settore, con salvaguardie, controlli rigorosi e reti di sicurezza. L'intesa dovrebbe aumentare del 50% le esportazioni agroalimentari europee verso il Mercosur ed estendere la protezione a 344 indicazioni geografiche dell'Ue. Il commento è affidato a Luigi Scordamaglia - Amministratore Delegato di Filiera Italia.Transizione 5.0, sì del Senato: cosa cambia su aree idonee e golden powerIl Senato ha approvato con voto di fiducia il decreto legge sulla Transizione 5.0, con 88 voti favorevoli e 58 contrari. Il provvedimento passa ora alla Camera per la conversione in legge entro il 20 gennaio. Il testo disciplina il credito d'imposta per la Transizione 5.0 e definisce la cornice normativa per l'individuazione delle aree idonee agli impianti da fonti rinnovabili. Tra le principali novità introdotte in commissione figurano la modifica della norma sul golden power nel settore finanziario, creditizio e assicurativo, per rispondere alle osservazioni della Commissione europea, e l'introduzione di un periodo transitorio sulle aree idonee per tutelare le pratiche già avviate. Il relatore Etelwardo Sigismondi ha difeso il lavoro svolto, respingendo le critiche delle opposizioni e rivendicando l'azione del governo sul caro energia e sul sostegno a famiglie e imprese. Secondo la maggioranza, il decreto offre certezze alle imprese, favorisce gli investimenti nelle rinnovabili, riduce la burocrazia e sostiene la transizione energetica con attenzione alle esigenze dei territori. Approfondiamo con Carmine Fotina - Il Sole 24 Ore.Istat: a novembre tasso di disoccupazione giù al 5,7%, mai così bassoA novembre 2025 il tasso di disoccupazione scende al 5,7%, il livello più basso dall'inizio delle serie storiche nel 2004. Cala anche la disoccupazione giovanile, che si attesta al 18,8%, mentre aumenta il tasso di inattività al 33,5%. Il numero complessivo di occupati è pari a 24 milioni 188 mila, in lieve calo rispetto al mese precedente, ma in crescita su base annua di 179 mila unità. L'aumento annuo è trainato soprattutto dai dipendenti permanenti e dagli autonomi, mentre diminuiscono i contratti a termine. Su base mensile il calo degli occupati riguarda in particolare donne, giovani, lavoratori autonomi e dipendenti a termine. Nel confronto trimestrale, invece, l'occupazione mostra un incremento complessivo. I dati confermano un mercato del lavoro in miglioramento strutturale, pur con segnali di fragilità legati alla qualità e alla stabilità dell'occupazione. Ne parliamo con Francesco Seghezzi - Presidente Fondazione ADAPT.

La operación militar en Venezuela ordenada por Trump "viola el derecho internacional y la Constitución de Estados Unidos", dijo a RFI Arturo Valenzuela, responsable de la diplomacia para las Américas del gobierno de Obama y asesor de política, paz y seguridad para América latina de los gobiernos de Clinton. Entrevista de Angélica Pérez.  En una declaración conjunta, cinco países latinoamericanos (Brasil, Chile, Colombia, México y Uruguay) y España, manifiestan "preocupación" tras la operación militar de Estados Unidos en Venezuela. Alertan ante cualquier intento de control gubernamental o apropiación de recursos naturales. Un retorno de la hegemonía por la fuerza en América Latina que analizó para RFI, Arturo Valenzuela, ex responsable de la región durante las presidencias de los demócratas Bill Clinton y Barack Obama. RFI: La declaración conjunta asegura que la intervención estadounidense viola principios del derecho internacional, como la prohibición del uso de la fuerza y el respeto a la soberanía territorial. ¿Qué piensa usted? Arturo Valenzuela: Estoy completamente de acuerdo con la declaración que sacaron estos países. Efectivamente, lo que hizo Estados Unidos viola los fundamentos del mundo después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, lo que se creó con Naciones Unidas y otras instituciones. El vocero del Secretario General de la ONU, Stephane Dujarric, dijo que efectivamente esto podría tener implicaciones terribles para la región, independientemente de la situación de Venezuela, porque se está violando completamente el derecho internacional, incluyendo la Carta Fundamental de Naciones Unidas. Pero además del derecho internacional, el presidente Trump violó también los fundamentos de la Constitución de Estados Unidos, que no permiten que el Presidente declare una guerra, sino que el Congreso tiene que hacerlo. Y está muy claro de que muchos sectores del Congreso, incluyendo algunos sectores del Partido Republicano, están rechazando lo que está tratando de hacer Trump en este momento, siendo que lo que también está en juego aquí es el sistema político norteamericano. Leer tambiénOperación militar de EEUU en Venezuela: ¿ha violado Donald Trump la Constitución estadounidense? RFI: ¿Es en definitiva una violación al Estado de Derecho? A.V.: La presidenta de la Asamblea General de Naciones Unidas, Annalena Baerbock, dijo claramente que los Estados miembros, incluyendo Estados Unidos, no pueden controlar otro territorio por la fuerza o violar la independencia política de otra nación. Ella dijo que un mundo pacífico seguro es imposible si el Estado de Derecho no puede efectuarse y lo que ha hecho Trump es efectivamente violar el Estado de derecho internacional y también nacional. RFI: ¿Qué impacto ha tenido en la clase política y en la población de Estados Unidos la intervención militar en Venezuela? A.V.: Este es un precedente terrible. Está afectando enormemente al país. Es el problema que tiene Estados Unidos ahora con su gobernabilidad. Por suerte, ha habido también un rechazo muy fuerte por parte de sectores que incluyen al Partido Republicano. Mucha gente acá está muy preocupada por la obsesión de Trump de tratar de apoderarse del petróleo venezolano y piensan que es algo que va a ayudar solamente a su familia y a sus colegas. Así que yo tengo esperanza de que efectivamente lo que pasó en New Jersey, en Virginia y en otras partes donde ha ganado elecciones el Partido Demócrata. El apoyo político a Trump se está desgastando enormemente en Estados Unidos. Leer tambiénVenezuela: “Tenemos temor de que eso sea un precedente y se use la ley del más fuerte” (ONU) RFI: En cuanto a Colombia, Trump amenazó al presidente Petro, a quien acusa de fabricar cocaína, y dijo que "no durará mucho tiempo". ¿Le parecen posibles intervenciones en ese país y en Cuba? A. V.: Ahora está efectivamente amenazando a Colombia y a otros países latinoamericanos. Esto es un desastre y demuestra una cierta ignorancia y contradicciones del gobierno de Estados Unidos. Cómo es posible que hayan implementado todo esto por  estar preocupados por el tráfico de cocaína a Estados Unidos, y al mismo tiempo, el propio Trump conmutara la pena del ex presidente de Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, que había sido condenado en cortes estadounidenses a 45 años de cárcel por haber enviado cocaína. Cómo es posible perdonar a uno y al mismo tiempo criticar a otros diciendo que ellos son los que están complicando al mundo. Lo que ha hecho Estados Unidos no tiene sentido y es terriblemente peligroso para el futuro. *Arturo Valenzuela fue encargado durante el gobierno Obama de la diplomacia en las Américas y asesor de los gobiernos de Bill Clinton en política exterior, defensa e inteligencia para América Latina. Es el fundador del Centro de Estudios Latinoamericanos de la Universidad Georgetown de Washington.

Desirée Pagliarini, Ángel Arellano y Leroy Gutiérrez - ¿Cómo vivieron los venezolanos radicados en Uruguay estas horas frenéticas? by En Perspectiva

It's Tuesday, January 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian Muslims killed 32 Christians since Christmas Killings of Christians continue unabated in Nigeria, reports TruthNigeria.com. Islamist terrorists have killed at least 32 Christians since Christmas, and burned down hundreds of homes in the Adamawa, Kebbi, and Plateau states. Congressman asserts Nigerian Christians targeted for their faith On January 1st, Republican U.S. Congressman Riley Moore of West Virginia weighed in on X. He wrote, “If there were any remaining doubts that Christians in Nigeria are being targeted for their faith in Jesus Christ, this should end that debate.  This isn't about land usage, ‘climate change,' or any other argument the Left wants to make. “This is persecution of our brothers and sisters for their faith in Christ, plain and simple. ISIS is telling Christians they have an opportunity to ‘spare their blood' if they convert. Our brothers and sisters will not bend the knee to anyone but our Lord and Savior.” Also, late last week, the Islamic-supported Allied Democratic Forces carried out a deadly nighttime incursion, killing at least 15 people in the Lubero territory of Congo, Africa. 20 Iranians have died in protests in 78 cities Iranian protests enter Day 9 where at least 20 people have died in the unrest. Protests have been cited in 78 cities across 26 provinces, reports Iran International.  According to The Times on Sunday, Iran's Supreme Leader has a backup plan in place — to abscond to Russia should his security forces fail. North Korea shot hypersonic missiles Sunday North Korea successfully fired off several hypersonic missiles on Sunday, connecting with targets 700 miles away in Korea's East Sea. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un called it a “very important strategic task to maintain and expand a powerful and reliable nuclear deterrent.”  Back in 2019, China deployed hypersonic technology. But the United States has yet to deploy its hypersonic technology — it is still in the testing phase.  Number of foreigners in Austria, Belgium and UK skyrocketing Remix News reports that over 41% of the population of Vienna, Austria's capital, is foreign born. And 50 percent of first-graders do not understand German. Also, Muslim students now account for 41.2 percent of all elementary school students, while Christian students fell to 34.5 percent. Plus, Austria, Belgium, and the United Kingdom have the highest percentages of babies born to immigrants — above 30%. Venezuelan dictator and wife plead not guilty The Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, both arrested by the U.S. government over the weekend, appeared in a New York City Court Monday to face charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy. and weapons offenses. They entered pleas of innocence to the charges. Psalm 37:9 is clear: “Evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the Earth.” China financed $60 billion loans to Venezuela Come to find out China has been a major player in Venezuela since 2000. The Council on Foreign Relations reports that Venezuela ate up $60 billion of Chinese loans accounting for fully half of all the money that China loaned to South America over the years. And China has been taking in about 80% of Venezuelan oil exports of late. Rubio objects to Iran, China, & Russia propping up Venezuela Appearing on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio objected to America's enemies propping up Venezuela in America's backyard. Listen. RUBIO: “We don't need Venezuela's oil. We have plenty of oil in the United States. What we're not going to allow is for the oil industry in Venezuela to be controlled by adversaries of the United States. You have to understand. Why does China need their oil? Why does Russia need their oil? Why does Iran need their oil? They're not even in this continent. “This is the Western Hemisphere. This is where we live, and we're not going to allow the western hemisphere to be a base of operation for adversaries, competitors and rivals of the United States. We want to see the oil proceeds of that country benefit the people of Venezuela. “Why have 8 million people left Venezuela? Eight million: the single largest mass migration probably in modern history, left Venezuela in 2014 because all the wealth of that country was stolen to the benefit of Maduro and his cronies in the regime, but not to the benefit of people of Venezuela. You know how destabilizing 8 million migrants is? “The number one fear that Brazil has, that Colombia has, that all these countries in the region have about what's happening in Venezuela and our involvement is they're afraid of another mass migration event. That's what they feel. This is deeply destabilizing stuff. ”It's not going to continue to happen. They are not going to come from outside of our hemisphere, destabilize our region in our own backyard, and us have to pay the price for it, not under President Trump.” Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Mexico, Uruguay & Spain upset about Maduro The governments of Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay and Spain have issued a statement airing their disagreement with the U.S. military actions taken against Venezuela over the weekend.   The statement appealed to what they called the “principles of the United Nations Charter.” Trump upset that drug cartels are running Mexico and Columbia President Donald Trump has also told the U.S. press that something has to be done with Mexico. He told Fox News that the  drug cartels are running the country.  Plus, he called Columbia a “sick country” run by a “sick” president who “likes to sell Cocaine to the United States.” Trump said he's not going to be doing this very long.   And the president said, “Cuba is ready to fall” as well.  But let us all remember Who rules. Psalm 22:28-29 says, “For the kingdom is the Lord's, and He rules over the nations. All the prosperous of the Earth shall eat and worship; all those who go down to the dust shall bow before Him, even he who cannot keep himself alive.” Dallas street preachers handcuffed and detained without cause Here in America, street preachers connected with a “Reformed Baptist evangelistic ministry, [Testimonies of God], committed to the supremacy of Scripture and the advancement of Christ's Gospel,” were handcuffed and detained by police officers in Dallas a few weeks ago. The Christian Post reports that an officer had required the evangelists to get off the public sidewalk and cross the street — an order the preachers believed was unlawful. So far, no charges have been filed in the case. 15 states still allow trans surgeries and drugs for kids Two hospitals in left-wing Colorado have decided to stop writing prescriptions for sex-change drugs for children, reports 9-News. Children's Hospital and Denver Health have cited warnings from the U.S. Health and Human Services Department. Colorado was the faux-sex-change capital of the world in the 1980s and 1990s.   Sadly, 15 states still allow gender-based mutilation or gender-debilitating drugs for kids including Colorado, California, Oregon, Illinois, and New York. Japanese restaurant paid $3.24 million for bluefin tuna And finally, a Japanese sushi chain set a record for the price paid for a fish yesterday.  The Japan Times reports that Sushi Zanmai paid $3.24 million for a Pacific bluefin tuna at Tokyo's fish auction. That's an astounding $6,600 per pound!

De-dollarization is growing around the world. Central banks are buying tons of gold, which overtook US Treasury securities in reserves in 2025. Even private investors are diversifying out of dollar assets, as risk rises.

El Telón de acero fue la barrera ideológica, política y física que dividió Europa durante desde el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta 1990. Era mucho más que una metáfora: se materializaba en kilómetros y kilómetros de fronteras fortificadas con alambradas, torres de vigilancia, campos minados y guardias armados. Se extendía desde el océano Ártico hasta el mar Mediterráneo, separando el bloque soviético del occidental. El término fue popularizado por Winston Churchill en un discurso que dio en 1946 en una universidad de Missouri, donde advirtió que un “telón de hierro" había descendido desde Stettin en el Báltico hasta Trieste en el Adriático, sometiendo al control soviético a capitales europeas como Varsovia, Praga y Budapest. Aunque el término ya se usaba antes para describir la frontera rusa tras la revolución de 1917, Churchill lo elevó a símbolo de la guerra fría. Churchill sabía bien de lo que hablaba porque había negociado con Stalin en Yalta y Potsdam, y era consciente de que quería dotarse de un colchón de repúblicas satélite en el este de Europa que sirviesen de primera línea de defensa y de proyección del poder soviético. Con los años el telón propiamente dicho no hizo más que perfeccionarse para evitar las huidas al oeste, que en Alemania llegó a convertirse en un problema de primera magnitud. Entre 1949 y 1961, tres millones de alemanes huyeron de la República Democrática a la República Federal. La frontera intra alemana tenía casi 1.400 kilómetros y a ella se sumaban los 155 kilómetros del muro de Berlín. El muro, levantado en 1961, era un telón de acero en miniatura que atravesaba el centro de la ciudad. Para que la capital se comunicase con el resto de Alemania se crearon corredores aéreos, ferroviarios y de carretera que conectaban Berlín Oeste con la RFA. Los tres estaban bajo estricta vigilancia para prevenir las fugas. Política, económica y socialmente el telón separaba dos mundos. Mientras el oeste prosperaba con democracias liberales y libre mercado, el este se sumía en la pobreza y la opresión. La cultura occidental era también más atractiva y eso erosionaba el control de las autoridades. La televisión y radio del oeste ofrecían información, entretenimiento y abrían una ventana a un mundo diferente que percibían como mucho mejor y más cómodo. Las televisiones alemanas se podían ver en los países fronterizos y EEUU financió una emisora de radio, Radio Europa Libre, que podía sintonizarse en todo el bloque del este. Estas emisiones sorteaban las alambradas, pero no los controles. Los gobiernos del este trataron de impedir que la población viese la televisión occidental, pero terminaron dejándolo por imposible. Cualquier infiltración de otra índole estaba muy vigilada por las agencias de seguridad, algunas muy temidas como la Stasi alemana, la Securitate rumana o el KGB soviético. Todo aquel sistema de control que simbolizaba el telón de acero se vino abajo a partir de 1985 cuando Mijail Gorbachov se hizo con el poder en la URSS. El telón en sí mismo empezó a desmantelarse cuatro años más tarde coincidiendo con la caída del muro de Berlín. En 1991 la Unión Soviética pasó a mejor vida y con ella cualquier rastro que pudiese quedar de esa frontera impenetrable que dividió Europa durante más de cuatro décadas.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 174 - César Charlone - Cinematographer In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with cinematographer César Charlone (PARTIDO, BLINDNESS, CITY OF GOD). Born in Uruguay, César found filmmaking after interrupting his veterinarian studies to hitchhike across Brazil. Throughout our conversation, we discuss César's general approach to cinematography, the degree of work he does in post, the amount of prep he performs before every film, and his long-time professional partnership with director Fernando Meirelles. César also reveals how he first met Fernando and describes how they worked together to create the look of CITY OF GOD and shoot the complex film with young non-actors. We later discuss how much César adjusts the image after capturing it on set, and we reflect on using any technology available to make the best film possible. In addition to his work as a cinematographer, César also co-directed THE POPE'S TOILET, and we discuss how he got involved with the project and the reality that inspired the film's story. César has also directed a film about Uruguay's José Artigas and worked on a documentary following Brazil's current Minister of Finance Fernando Haddad, and we discuss his commitment to documenting the realities of living in South America. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure

Hoy las escritoras del horror, lo gótico, el terror, lo inusual y lo insólito, marcan la literatura con sus libros. Es por ello que dedicamos este episodio de LAM, el último del año 2025, a este género literario o sería mejor decir estos géneros literarios.

From the BBC World Service: The European Union says it's close to agreeing a trade deal with the South American economic bloc Mercosur, which represents Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
