In this chilling episode of Somewhere in the Skies, Ryan explores three little known UFO encounters that continue to challenge explanation decades later. From a wave of mysterious disc sightings sweeping across Idaho during the summer of 1947, to a terrifying close encounter between a Uruguayan naval corporal and strange humanoid beings beneath a remote lighthouse, to the haunting abduction account of Charles Moody in the deserts of New Mexico, each case reveals the deeply human impact of the UFO phenomenon. Blending historical research, witness testimony, and enduring mystery, these forgotten encounters remind us that some of the most compelling UFO stories are the ones history nearly left behind.

We're joined for a special Uruguay episode co-hosted by Juan Campodonico, the artist and producer at the forefront of fusing electronic and rock music with traditional Uruguayan genres like tango and murga. Featured artists include Bajofondo, El Cuarteto de Nos, Campo and Peyote Asesino. 

The Iran war has exposed the vulnerabilities of countries reliant on Middle Eastern fossil fuels. Ramon Mendez, former Uruguayan energy secretary and president of REN21, tells FRANCE 24 that a drastic shift to renewable energy is possible with the right strategy in place, and that other nations can follow in Uruguay's footsteps. The South American country now gets 98 percent of its electricity from low-carbon sources. 

Julia Paternain joins Elise to talk about the kind of year that changes everything. In 2025, Julia went from marathon debutant to World Championships bronze medallist, thanks to a stunning run in Tokyo where she surprised even herself. In doing so, Julia also became the first Uruguayan athlete to win a medal at a World Champs EVER! In this episode, Julia takes us inside that extraordinary rise, from her debut 2:27 marathon to the chaos, disbelief and pure emotion of crossing the line for bronze in Tokyo. We hear how she handled the brutal conditions, why she focused so hard on running her own race, and what was actually going through her mind in those now-ICONIC finish line moments. We get to know Julia's love of naps, fizzy drink and flat roads. There's also plenty on her fascinating international story – born in Mexico, raised in England, with Uruguayan roots and now representing Uruguay on the world stage. Julia shares why making the switch felt right, what that bronze medal meant for her family and country, and why returning to England for the London Marathon later this month feels especially full-circle. -- Julia Paternain is a distance runner who represents Uruguay and is sponsored by Saucony. She won a bronze medal in her second marathon ever at the World Championships Marathon in Tokyo in 2025. She holds the national record in the marathon for Uruguay (2:27:09), which she ran on debut. Julia grew up in the UK and moved to the United States in 2018 to study and run for Penn State University before transferring to University of Arkansas. She is now based in Flagstaff, Arizona with professional running group, McKirdy Trained. Julia is set to run London Marathon at the end of this month. -- Subscribe to Run With It wherever you get your podcasts, so you don't miss a thing! -- Follow us on Instagram: @juliapaternain_ @runwithit.pod @elisebeacom -- Intro/outro music by Dan Beacom Graphic design by Kate Scheer

The episode kicks off with Ross revealing he is a devoted fan of Phil Rosenthal, the creator of Everybody Loves Raymond, who now hosts a food travel show on Netflix called Somebody Feed Phil. Ross has personally visited around 15 of the restaurants the show featured, which is either very impressive or the most expensive hobby a woodworking podcast host has ever admitted to on air. Jess loves the show too, mostly because she cannot figure out how the man stays thin eating like that. Ross explains Phil only takes a bite and hands the rest to the crew, which is the most polite thing anyone has ever done at a Michelin-starred restaurant and a taco truck back to back.From there the three of them do what any group of close friends does when the mics are hot and nobody has stopped them, which is spend a solid chunk of time ranking summer fruit. Jess is pushing enormous Walmart grapes nearly two inches across that basically look like plums. Colton is a mango guy who cuts them like an avocado and eats them off the grid. Ross wants dark plums all the way through, loves end-of-summer strawberries and Georgia peaches but peels them because the fuzz is a dealbreaker. Jess eats the entire kiwi including the skin. Ross does not like watermelon. This is treated as breaking news.The real meat of the episode is Colton's deck. He wants to build a 38-foot wide covered back deck on his 1945 farmhouse and came with some ideas, some of which were fine and some of which made Jess say the words "way too thin" with an energy suggesting Colton had proposed framing an aircraft carrier with toothpicks. Two-by-sixes for the floor joists are out. Minimum two-by-tens, go with twelves if spanning 16 feet, and nobody uses four-by-four posts to hold up a roof at 12-foot height unless they enjoy watching things bow slowly over time. Jess advocates hard for at least a 24-inch roof overhang to protect the deck from sun damage, which apparently kills wood faster than water does. The pressure-treated lumber debate gets thorough, covering ground contact versus outdoor rated, copper-based treatments, and whether you need to seal every cut end. Ross strongly recommends filming all of it because outdoor build content crushes every other category on YouTube and TikTok and Colton is leaving serious views on the table.The back half belongs to a trivia game Jess built from scratch where every country has a national tree and most of them are trees these three have never heard of. Countries like Bhutan, Laos, Guyana, Botswana, and Papua New Guinea get their trees identified one by one while Ross and Colton guess the Janka hardness rating and are wrong almost every single time. African Blackwood from Tanzania sinks in water and was historically used as bearings on boats. Mopane from Zambia rates around 3000 Janka and will destroy your planer blades. The Marula tree from Mozambique produces fruit that ferments on the ground and has been documented getting elephants genuinely drunk. Frangipani from Laos rates under 500, which Jess describes as one you could fart on and dent it. The national food trivia woven in is equally unhinged, including larb from Laos, blood sausage with lingonberry jam from Estonia, and a Uruguayan dish Colton identifies from personal West Texas experience as requiring a full week of recovery after eating.Ross closes with a nugget about threaded insert bolts for table bases, Colton finally committed to SketchUp and recommends the Sketchup Essentials YouTube channel, and Jess says use YouTube for every tool purchase decision you ever make and also just buy the good drill the first time.Legal complaints go to Barone Barone Barone Barone Barone and Barone Legal Partners.

What if the world's next breakthrough in sustainable aviation fuel started with 14,000 cows on a Uruguayan dairy farm?In this episode of F+L Webcast, host Vicky Villena-Denton speaks with Trevor Best, CEO and co-founder of Syzygy Plasmonics — the company behind the world's first light-driven chemical reactor and the first commercial production of SAF from biogas.Built on more than two decades of nanophotonics research from Rice University, Syzygy's technology uses renewable electricity and photocatalysis to convert cattle manure into ASTM-compliant, ISCC-certified sustainable aviation fuel — trade-named NovaSAF™ — with 90% lower lifecycle carbon emissions than conventional jet fuel.Trevor walks us through the full story: a name inspired by a solar eclipse, four failed startups, 80 evaluated ideas before finding the one that refused to die, and a 4-step process that takes biogas all the way to synthetic paraffinic kerosene. He also breaks down why they chose Uruguay for NovaSAF-1, how a six-year binding offtake deal with Trafigura validates the technology, and the three-step roadmap to jet fuel price parity within a decade.First commercial fuel is targeted for early 2028.

Episode Title: The Swarm vs. The Survivor: Escaping the Cibercholo InterrogationWelcome to the chaotic, volatile underbelly of the Latin American digital frontline. In this episode, we dive into an intense, real-time clash on X (formerly Twitter) Spaces between a decentralized digital mob and a battle-tested cybersecurity expert.The Threat: Meet "Op Fes" (internally known as OFF), a highly aggressive online network mocked by legitimate ethical hackers as "Cibercholos" (a derogatory term for low-skill wannabes or "lamers"). Lacking elite coding capabilities, this mob compensates by projecting a phantom military hierarchy and weaponizing social media architecture. Their tactical playbook relies on generating panic-inducing live theater through X Spaces, where they use disguised links (IP grabbers) to dox targets, dropping Google Maps pins on their victims' physical homes, and broadcasting their private photos to hundreds of live listeners.The Target: Alberto Daniel Hill is a renowned Uruguayan cybersecurity and digital forensics expert. More importantly, he is a survivor of a harrowing 17-month wrongful imprisonment caused by a technologically illiterate justice system. This profound real-world trauma forged his highly resilient "cyber mindset," giving him the ability to process extreme institutional and psychological hostility through a lens of cold, forensic logic.The Showdown: The collision occurs when Hill accidentally lurks in the mob's massive "Bombitas del gobierno" audio room. Upon noticing his presence, the gang coordinates a digital swarm. A hundred "OFF" branded accounts flood a private X Space Hill is co-hosting, demanding the microphone and launching an aggressive live interrogation to test his alliances, government ties, and geopolitical stances.Instead of panicking under the crushing weight of the digital riot, Hill calmly hands them the mic. Utilizing his trauma-hardened resilience, he absorbs their hostility and brilliantly turns the tables. Hill counter-interrogates the gang, pressing them for hard, verifiable evidence regarding the severe criminal accusations they hurl at their rivals. By maintaining absolute composure and redirecting the pressure through investigative curiosity, Hill defuses the swarm—surviving the doxing mob unscathed and exposing the fragile, performative reality of the "Cibercholo" operation.Tune in to explore the psychology of the modern digital mob, and how one man's unshakeable operational security defeated a network built on fear.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has held talks with his Uruguayan counterpart Yamandu Orsi in Beijing. Orsi is on his first state visit to China since taking office last year.

The Chinese and Uruguayan presidents have met in Beijing to deepen their strategic partnership and expand trade and investment cooperation (01:07). Beijing has hosted a key interparty exchange for the first time in nine years to discuss cross-Strait cooperation (11:45). The U.S. and Iran will hold nuclear talks in Istanbul, with both sides signaling readiness for diplomacy while warning of serious consequences amid heightened military tensions (22:41).

① President Xi Jinping has held talks with his visiting Uruguayan counterpart Yamandu Orsi in Beijing. How can China and Uruguay expand cooperation and advance an equal world order? (00:56) ② The United States and Iran will hold nuclear talks in Istanbul. Is the threat of a military confrontation easing? (15:06) ③ The Communist Party of China and the Chinese Kuomintang Party have held a think tank forum in Beijing focusing on cross-Strait cooperation. We explore the significance of this dialogue channel's revival after a hiatus of nearly a decade. (24:58) ④ China has taken a world-first step in automotive safety. It will ban hidden door handles on cars sold domestically. What could be the ramifications of this step? (32:30) ⑤ Elon Musk's SpaceX has acquired his artificial intelligence business xAI, with plans underway for space-based AI data centers. Is orbit the only way to scale the massive power and computing needs of advanced AI? (42:31)

The Uruguayan president is in Beijing for a week-long state visit, becoming the first Latin American leader to visit China in 2026 (01:05). Iran's supreme leader has warned that a U.S. attack would trigger a regional war, as President Donald Trump said he hopes for a deal despite rising military pressure (10:43). China's 2026 Spring Festival travel rush is underway, driving a surge in travel demand as people return home for the holiday (36:47).

Uruguayan President Yamandu Orsi is in Beijing for a week-long state visit to China. The trip marks Orsi's first visit to China since taking office in 2025.

National pride often comes from shared heritage—like a common language or ethnic background. Religious Nationalism can be seen in historical Russia, where being part of the Orthodox Church was considered key to being Russian, even if you spoke a different language, whereas Ethnic Nationalism is like modern Mongolia, where having the same Mongol background is what counts as national identity, even if people follow different faiths.—but for the small nation of Uruguay, that feeling of unity was forged not in a parliament, but on a soccer pitch. When the Uruguayan national team, La Celeste, stunned the world by winning the 1924 Paris Olympics, it was more than just a sports victory. That triumph created a profound, shared, and globally recognized national identity, transforming the soccer team into a powerful symbol that helped bond the country together in a way politics had struggled to achieve. Soccer’s ability to literally bring nations into existence has only grown with the growth and spread of the World Cup. Since 1930, the World Cup has become a truly global obsession. It is the most watched sporting event on the planet, and 211 teams competed to make it into the 2022 tournament. From its inception, it has also been a vehicle for far more than soccer. A tool for self-mythologizing and influence-peddling, The World Cup has played a crucial role in nation-building, and continues to, as countries negotiate their positions in a globalized world. Today’s guest is Jonathan Wilson, author of “The Power and the Glory: A History of the World Cup.” We look at history of the matches and goals, the tales of scandal and triumph, the haggling and skulduggery of the bidding process, and the political and cultural tides behind every tournament. Jonathan Wilson details not merely what happened but why, based on fresh interviews and meticulous research. The book is as much about the legends of the sport, from Pelé to Messi, as it is about the nations that made them, from Mussolini’s Italy to partitioned Germany to controversy-ridden Qatar.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry says Uruguayan President Yamandu Orsi will visit China at the beginning of next month to strengthen the bilateral strategic partnership.

PREVIEW — Mary Anastasia O'Grady — Lingering Capital Controls Spook Investors in Argentina. O'Grady reports that despite President Milei's substantial deregulation initiatives, lingering Argentine capital control mechanisms continue systematically deterring foreign investors who harbor justified fears regarding restrictions on capital extraction and currency repatriation. O'Grady documents that previous Argentine administrations implemented draconian capital restrictions, deploying customs enforcement mechanisms including canine detection units on Uruguayan river ferries to prevent illegal capital flight. O'Grady emphasizes that investor communities remain chronically cautious regarding potential reimposition of capital controls by future political administrations, creating structural investor hesitation despite Milei's demonstrated commitment to economic liberalization and market-based reforms. 1950 TANGO IN BUENOS AIRES

He's not just a defender; he's a phenomenon. In this episode, we unpack the incredible rise of Ronald Araújo, the Uruguayan powerhouse who has become the indispensable cornerstone of FC Barcelona's defense. We analyze his rare blend of physical dominance (standing 1.91m and excelling in aerial duels) and technical composure —a style born from his surprising background as a youth striker. Discover how his versatility allows him to excel as a center-back or right-back, his role as a leader wearing the iconic number 4, and his remarkable statistical output which includes a goal-scoring threat rarely seen in a top defender. We also look at the high-stakes moments that define his career, from decisive La Liga goals to Champions League controversy.

The Spanish-born singer, songwriter and producer Pablopablo recently released his debut LP, but he'd already built up an impressive array of writing and producing credits, winning Latin Grammys back in 2022 under his given name, Pablo Drexler. Those awards were for his work on a collaboration between his father, the popular Uruguayan-born musician Jorge Drexler, and the Spanish superstar C. Tangana. And collaboration is an important part of Pablopablo's music as well, as you'll hear on his record, Canciones En Mi. Pablopablo plays solo, and with guest musician Macario Martinez, in-studio.  Set list: 1.

Every year, the second Tuesday in October is designated as Ada Lovelace Day as a tribute to its namesake, Ada Lovelace, the 19th century mathematician and pioneering computer programmer who collaborated with Charles Babbage on the design of his remarkable mechanical computer, the Analytical Machine. To celebrate Ada Lovelace Day 2025, Alice and Paola are dedicating this special episode of Design Emergency to celebrating her achievements and those of other remarkable women who have honoured Ada's legacy in different ways, making crucial contributions to the digital age. .Some of them have designed and delivered transformational advances in technology, such as Britain's ingenious female code-breakers at Bletchley Park during World War II, Ida Holz, the Uruguayan computer scientist and engineer who pioneered the internet in Latin America, and Stacy Horn, who designed one of the first online communities in ECHO..Others have developed inspiring ways of improving existing systems: both by alerting us to new possibilities, and by identifying or defusing unexpected dangers, as the Chinese-born, US-based computer scientist Fei-Fei Li has done, and the Kenyan tech designer and activist, Juliana Rotich. While Jay-Ann Lopez, founder of the global network of Black Girl Gamers and new media pioneer, Lynn Hershman Leeson, are at the forefront of challenging stereotypes and championing diversity, inclusivity and equity within tech design, thereby helping to make it fitter for purpose and to realise its true potential. .We hope you'll enjoy this episode. You can find images of the projects Alice and Paola describe on our Instagram @design.emergency. Please join us for future episodes of Design Emergency when we will hear from inspiring global design leaders who are in the forefront of forging positive change..Design Emergency is supported by a grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts Hosted on Acast.

Uruguayan singer-songwriter Jorge Drexler knows what it's like to live different lives within one. An ENT doctor until his early 30’s, he then decided to leave medicine behind, as well as his life in Uruguay, to pursue a music career in Spain. He became the first Uruguayan to win an Oscar with his song “Al otro lado del río.” In this episode of Latino USA, the multiple award-winning musician walks us through key moments in his career, including the creative process behind his latest album “Tinta y tiempo”—and drops a few gems about his personal life on the way. Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.

We've done episodes where people lose their teeth. We've done episodes where have them melted out of their heads, or frisbeed out by debris, or punched out by bulls, or even blown out of their heads by lightning. But we've never done an episode where the most horrifying thing that happens is you maybe get something stuck in them.On this episode: we'll take off on one of the least enviable flights in history – which is saying a lot; we'll learn just what staggeringly awful places hunger can take an underfed mind even when the only menu option is freeze-dried human buttock; and we'll end up with one of the most excruciating and difficult mountain hikes ever conducted, wearing little more than a tennis outfit.And if you were listening on Patreon… you would see which popular sport tops the list for most spinal and testicular injuries; you'd hear every mouth-watering detail of the most filling and calorically-dense item on any menu, anywhere in the world; and you would learn how the survivor of a lifeboat full of man-on-man nom nom inspired one of the greatest pieces of American literature ever scribed.This episode was created as a thank you for a special listener who asked to remain nameless and over extended themselves to help me out of a jam. Technically, all my episodes are thank you episodes for the people who help support the show, and a gift to every casual listener who's ever had to treat a goring wound, or a flaming oil burn, or patch a cartoonish hole burnt through them by volcanic projectiles.I make a point in this episode that one of the last times we visited South America together, we got irradiated, and how difficult it is to replace an entire audience after you accidentally murder the last one. It's my way of saying thank you for listening, and for today's special listener – 50-60 hours of painstaking work is maybe the best way I know how to say thank you and show the depth of my appreciation.I've heard people describe this tale as extraordinary, but that's not nearly a good enough word to explain what happened. You have any idea how deep you have to dig to refuse to surrender in spite of all this and having the whole world seemingly abandoned you? And even more than that, can you understand how profound the details of your story have to be to completely overshadow make people forget about all the cannibalism?

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Championship, and Canadian Premier League football chat and interviews. What a week it's been for Vancouver and BC soccer. The Whitecaps and Vancouver FC of Langley set up a first ever meeting between the two teams in next week's Canadian Championship final after semi-final wins over Forge and Ottawa respectively. We chat about the games and the match-up to come, the showcase of soccer in the province, and hear some thoughts from Whitecaps head coach Jesper Sorensen and VFC's Martin Nash and Matteo Campagna. Heading back to league business, the Whitecaps went to Kansas City at the weekend and left with a comfortable victory that broke a multitude of club records along the way and left them controlling their own destinies in the race for first place in the MLS West and the Supporters' Shield. We chat with MLS Apple TV analyst Devon Kerr about the match and the season run-in for the 'Caps. We also chat with one of the (many) standout players for the Whitecaps this year, Uruguayan centre-back Mathias Laborda, about the season so far, what's to come, the Canadian Championship final, life in Vancouver, and find out if he fancies a chocolate digestive. Plus we talk about CPL side Pacific FC being put up for sale this week and the unsavoury public spat with the City of Langford that followed, and music-wise, Hazel O'Connor continues her residency as our Album of the Month, we've Britpop songs from Smaller and Pulp, and a Dutch band features in Wavelength. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 01.26: Intro - a little bit of politics, freedom of speech, 3I/Atlas & the end of days 14.17: It's an all-BC Canadian Championship final! 72.56: Whitecaps control own destiny after record breaking win in KC 97.25: Mathias Laborda interview 108.00: Anyone Fancy A Chocolate Digestive? - Mathias Laborda 113.26: Interview with MLS Apple TV analyst Devon Kerr 142.55: Pacific FC up for sale and in public spat with the City of Langford 171.30: Wavelength - The Nits - J.O.S.

In October 1972, a plane carrying a Uruguayan rugby team, along with their friends and family, crashed into the remote Andes mountains. What followed became one of the most remarkable and haunting survival stories in modern history.For 72 days, the survivors faced freezing conditions, avalanches, hunger, and despair. Cut off from the world and with no rescue in sight, they were forced to make unimaginable choices in order to stay alive. Against all odds, a handful of them managed to endure and eventually trek across the mountains to find help, ensuring the survival of the remaining passengers.In this episode, we explore the crash itself, the brutal conditions in the mountains, the resilience of the survivors, and the legacy this story has left behind. It is a tale of tragedy, courage, and the extremes of human endurance.For HUNDREDS more cases (and to request your own!), visit icmap.co.uk now and sign up for free!Presented by Tom Norris & Ben CarterWritten by Ben CarterProduced by Dan J LambertEdited by Ben Bonsey Hosted on Acast.

This episode is brought to you by Pillar Performance. Episode #164 sees the FTK '25 crew all back together in the one recording for the first time in a month (Tess: "ONLY THREE WEEKS"). TRAINING WEEKS Jack takes the listeners through his training week which deviates from its normal structure as he balances Japan's summer with just enough training to keep the body in prime shape for this week's World Athletics Championships 5000m heat. After sharing her training week with partner Nick last week, Tess gets the chance to update Jack & Joel on her fitness levels before Berlin Marathon. Joel wraps up the segment with an update on how his sacrum is healing. BIG Q Due to internet connection issues Brett & Joel fill in for the crew here. They (mostly Brett) answer a question submitted anonymously on the reason behind the "disappointing" result of our men's 1500m team in Tokyo. GIVE SOME KUDOS The tech-professional Tess highlights a running app, while Jack talks up a feature of his running watch. Joel sends his big-ups in the direction of Straight At It / Mitch Dyer for his impressive work on the ground in Tokyo. TWHSOITWTWATSA Jack isn't sure about Santa narrating a video from a Kenyan athlete while Tess isn't sure about Uruguayan athlete's confusion after crossing the line in the Women's Marathon in Tokyo.

On October 13, 1972, a fight transporting a Uruguayan rugby club crashed into the Andes Mountains.  For the following 72 days, survivors of the crash were stranded in the ice and snow, forced to survive in sub-zero temperatures, battling starvation and avalanches.  Desperate to escape the mountains, two of the crash survivors trekked across the harsh terrain for 10 days, eventually finding rescue for the remaining survivors.  Learn more about the survival of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Michelle emerged from the Uruguayan underground back in 2018. Since then, she's explored the sort of sounds that have made her homeland such a creative hotbed: stripped-back techno, electro and early tech house all collide in her tracks on the likes of My Own Jupiter, CABARET Recordings and, most recently, Element Of Impact. Though designed purely for dancing, they're rich with intriguing textural contrasts between steely metal surfaces, wonky acid lines and sultry synths. Michelle only plays live, so this week's mix is a raw, unfiltered one-hour transmission pulled straight from her machines. It's a rugged ride that grinds through industrial tech, shadowy broken beats and deeper techno. The energy is relentless and the tension is palpable, as if intergalactic warfare lurks just out of sight. The pounding rhythms, strobe-lit grit and sweat-soaked intensity make this a masterclass in pressure and release that's alive, dangerous and keeps you right on the edge.

Follow Josema at his YouTube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@UCnbJZLkA07N6sRNCOSDTMrQ When a Soccer analyst YouTuber from Spain started doing breakdowns of Uruguayan football matches he never imagined the Hornet's nest of corruption, mismanagement, exploitation, and media manipulation and collusion he would stir up. Josema, our guest today, didn't just comment and criticize like many youtuber's would, he mobilized and organized! He empowered fans of Uruguayan clubs with democratic structures to call assemblies and hold their leaders to account, his hard work and transparency inspired workers caught in the system to become his eyes and ears behind enemy lines and expose wrongdoings by all parties involved, and he's given Uruguayan sports journalists who've been driven out of the industry and even suffered attempts on their LIFE a new voice on his channel.

José “Pepe” Mujica was a former political prisoner who suffered more than a decade of prison and torture under Uruguay's military dictatorship. He rose to become the country's president from 2010 through 2015.They called him the world's humblest president. He was often seen driving himself in his 1987 baby blue VW bug. He lived on a farm. His clothes were simple. So were his words and his actions. Yet he created tremendous change and left an indelible mark on the tiny country of Uruguay and the entire region of Latin America.This is episode 36 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

We spend the whole program with Nadav Wieman, a former IDF sniper and now executive director of Breaking the Silence, an organization of Israeli veterans who expose the reality of life in the Occupied Territories and work to end the occupation. He and Ralph discuss Nadav's experience in the IDF and his work trying to turn the tide of sentiment in Israel against the ongoing genocide.Nadav Weiman is the executive director of Breaking the Silence, an organization of Israeli veterans who expose the reality of life in the Occupied Territories and work to end the occupation. Mr. Weiman served in a sniper's team in the special forces of the Nahal brigade and attained the rank of staff sergeant. He also worked as a history and literature teacher and was the legal guardian at a home for underprivileged teens in Tel Aviv.Now the soldiers that gave us testimonies told us that they came to the commander and said, "Okay, this is too much." And the commander said, "Listen, we lost too many dogs in the dog unit, so we're using Palestinians as human shields."Nadav Wieman former IDF sniper and Executive Director of Breaking the SilenceWhen the first soldier came to us in December 2023 and told us about using Palestinians as human shields, I thought it was an isolated event. But then another soldier came and another soldier and another soldier, and then we understood. It's a new protocol. It's called the Mosquito Protocol. “Mosquito,” is a code name on the radio saying, take a Palestinian man and put him in an IDF uniform, and in some cases a GoPro camera on his chest. And then soldiers were ordered to send them into tunnels to sweep the tunnels or into homes to sweep the homes.Nadav WiemanYou have another protocol called “Wasp”. The Wasp Protocol is Palestinians sweeping tunnels, but this time our Palestinians working with the IDF were brought from the West Bank. And they were told that they will get something from us, a permit or something like that.Nadav WiemanNews 5/16/251. Trump has abruptly ended the American war on the Houthi militia in Yemen, saying in a press conference, “You know, we hit them very hard. They had a great capacity to withstand punishment…You can say there's a lot of bravery there…It was amazing what they took. But we honor their commitment and their word,” per Prem Thakker. Behind the scenes, a New York Times report exposes the jaw-dropping waste that precipitated the U.S. backing down from this campaign. Some highlights include that the Houthis almost shot down an F-35 fighter jet – which run about $100 million apiece – that this campaign used so many precision munitions that Pentagon contingency planners grew “increasingly concerned about overall stocks,” and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM)'s reported metric of success was “bombs dropped,” evoking the failed campaigns in Vietnam, per the Stimson Center's Emma Ashburn. All in all, this campaign cost $1 billion over the course of just 30 days.2. In more stunning news of Pentagon profligacy, CNN reported on May 6th that a SECOND F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet fell off the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier into the Red Sea following the first lost jet by just over a week. Each of these planes bear a price tag of over $60 million, according to the Navy, just in case you were wondering where your tax dollars are going now that Trump and Musk have slashed the budget of anything resembling a social program.3. In more foreign policy news, Edan Alexander, the last remaining U.S. citizen hostage in Gaza, has been released. Alexander was born and raised in New Jersey, then moved to Israel to serve in the IDF after graduating high school in 2022. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was quoted saying “[Alexander's release] was achieved thanks to our military pressure and the political pressure exerted by President Trump. This is a winning combination.” Meanwhile Trump posted on Truth Social “Edan Alexander, American hostage thought dead, to be released by Hamas. Great news!” Despite this heraldry however, MSN reports Alexander “rebuffed” a personal meeting with Netanyahu. Counter Currents adds “In a video released by Hamas…last November, Alexander harshly criticized Netanyahu…[accusing] the Israeli leader of abandoning the…[hostages]…and urged Trump…to secure his release.” In this video, Alexander told Netanyahu, “You neglected us…We die a thousand times every day, and no one feels our pain.”4. In a similar vein, the Jerusalem Post reports, “The Trump administration's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, criticized Israel in a meeting with hostage families…[saying] ‘We want to bring the hostages home, but Israel is not willing to end the war.'” Witkoff added “Israel is prolonging [the war] despite the fact that we don't see where else we can go and that an agreement must be reached.” Further, the New Arab reports “The Trump administration has…dropped its longstanding demand for Hamas to disarm as a precondition for a Gaza ceasefire.” This willingness to call a spade a spade regarding Israel's intractable opposition to peace, or even a lasting ceasefire – coupled with a seemingly genuine willingness to realistically approach peace talks – has been a marked point of departure compared to the Biden administration, which “Never Pressured Israel for Ceasefire,” according to Israeli Ambassador Yechiel Leiter, as reported in Drop Site News.5. Turning to some positive consumer protection news, “Ticketmaster will now show how much you'll pay for tickets — fees included — before checkout,” the Verge reports. This “All In Prices” initiative is an effort by the company to comply with the Federal Trade Commission's ban on junk fees. The FTC cracked down on Ticketmaster following the 2022 Taylor Swift Eras Tour “ticketing catastrophe.” In addition to the FTC, the Department of Justice sued Ticketmaster and its parent company, Live Nation in 2024, accusing them of “driving up prices as a result of their alleged monopoly,” while the House passed the TICKET Act in 2024, a law that would “force ticket sellers to show full prices upfront.” The Senate is considering that bill now.6. Meanwhile, Igloo has voluntarily widened a recall of their coolers, related to “possible amputation and crushing hazards,” per ABC. The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall notice for a little over a million Igloo 90 Qt. Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers back in February, on the basis that “the tow handle can pinch consumers' fingertips against the cooler,” risking “fingertip amputation.” ABC reports this recall now includes “130,000 additional coolers, as well as approximately 20,000 in Canada and 5,900 in Mexico.” According to the CPSC, “since the recall was initiated in February, Igloo has received 78 reports of injuries involving the recalled coolers, including 26 reports of bone fractures, fingertip amputations or lacerations.”7. The first American Pope, Leo XIV, addressed the College of Cardinals on Sunday, in part explaining his decision to take that particular name. According to Business Insider, AI played a major role. The Pope told the college, “I chose to take the name Leo XIV…mainly because Pope Leo XIII in his historic Encyclical 'Rerum Novarum' addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution…In our own day, the Church offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice, and labor.” In a January 2024 message, Pope Francis said “At this time in history, which risks becoming rich in technology and poor in humanity, our reflections must begin with the human heart.”8. Turning to domestic politics, 25-year-old Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg is fighting an uphill battle to remain in his post. The activist and survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting has been a target of the party hierarchs since he refused to disassociate himself from the mission of the organization he cofounded – Leaders We Deserve – which seeks to primary “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats. On May 10th, POLITICO reported that Hogg sought a compromise with the party, vowing that he would erect a “internal firewall,” barring him from “accessing any internal DNC information about congressional and state legislative races as long as he was supporting challengers.” The DNC flatly refused. Instead, it would seem they are trying to oust Hogg by voiding his election, claiming it violated “fairness and gender diversity,” rules, per Semafor. On May 13th, the DNC's Credentials Committee voted to nullify the results of the February election, the Hill reports. According to POLITICO, the full DNC could “opt to hold a virtual vote ahead of the meeting later this summer. Otherwise it will take the issue up during its August meeting.”9. In Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Ras Baraka was “arrested and detained by masked federal immigration police Friday when he joined three Democratic congressmembers set to tour a newly reopened 1,000-bed [ICE] jail run by GEO Group,” Democracy Now! reports. This is the latest installment in the power struggle between federal agents and local officials over immigration, an escalation from the arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan in April. Dugan herself was indicted this week for supposedly “obstructing or impeding a proceeding,” per Wisconsin Public Radio. Alina Habba, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, tweeted, “The Mayor of Newark…committed trespass…He has willingly chosen to disregard the law…He has been taken into custody.” She added in all caps, “NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.” Chilling words.10. Finally, we pay tribute to Uruguayan revolutionary, anti-dictatorship rebel and former president José “Pepe” Mujica, who passed away this week following a protracted battle with esophageal cancer. Mujica was celebrated throughout the world during his tenure as president for his humble lifestyle; He was called ‘the world's poorest president' famously driving a beat-up old VW bug and donating the bulk of his salary. In 2013, he delivered a bombshell speech at the United Nations in wherein he decried capitalism and the environmental destruction it has wrought. Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Greg Grandin eulogized Mujica, writing “He was a member of the insurgent, armed Tupamarus, and served 14 years in prison, much of it in solitary, subject to extreme torture techniques taught by US advisors… Upon his release, he helped build the Frente Amplio into one of the most successful left coalitions. He radiated humility and humanity but he knew that power was meant to be taken and used, and behind his smile was steel. He was 89.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Joaquín Torres-García was Uruguayan-born artist who wanted to bring Constructivism and Modernism to Latin America, and worked for much of his life promoting the idea that Latin-American voices should be part of the Modernist art movement.
