C dans l'air du 15 janvier 2026 - Groenland : l'Europe envoie des troupesLes Européens ont envoyé des militaires au Groenland, alors que la Première ministre danoise a acté, ce jeudi, l'existence d'un « désaccord fondamental » avec les États-Unis sur l'avenir de l'île convoitée par Donald Trump, au lendemain d'une rencontre entre des dirigeants des deux pays à Washington. À Paris, un conseil de défense a été convoqué en urgence ce matin. La France, la Suède, l'Allemagne et la Norvège ont décidé de mobiliser leurs armées sur le territoire autonome danois pour un exercice militaire conjoint baptisé « Arctic Endurance ». Une équipe d'une « quinzaine de soldats » français est déjà présente à Nuuk et elle « sera renforcée dans les prochains jours par des moyens terrestres, aériens et maritimes », a indiqué un peu plus tard Emmanuel Macron lors de ses vœux aux armées à Istres. Le ministre français des Affaires étrangères a également annoncé mercredi l'ouverture d'un consulat sur place le 6 février prochain. Cette séquence intervient alors que Donald Trump a réaffirmé sa volonté d'acquérir l'île arctique. Mercredi, il a écrit sur son réseau Truth Social que les États-Unis « ont besoin du Groenland pour des raisons de sécurité nationale », ajoutant que le territoire est « vital pour le Dôme d'Or que nous construisons ». Le président américain a également affirmé qu'il « pense qu'une solution sera trouvée » sur le Groenland.Depuis son retour à la Maison-Blanche, Donald Trump répète qu'il s'emparera du Groenland « d'une manière ou d'une autre ». Mais s'il dit ne pas exclure la voie militaire pour annexer ce territoire grand comme quatre fois la France, peuplé de seulement 57 000 habitants, la proposition américaine de rachat du Groenland, écartée en 2019, revient en force. Le président américain a nommé un émissaire et il évoque ouvertement les précédents historiques : la Louisiane (à la France) en 1803, la Floride (à l'Espagne) en 1819, l'Alaska (à l'Empire russe) en 1867. Donald Trump pourrait-il vraiment acheter l'île ?Parmi les pays européens à ne pas avoir envoyé de troupes au Groenland se trouve la Hongrie. Isolé en Europe, le pays dirigé par Viktor Orbán compte pour se relancer sur Donald Trump, dont il a applaudi la nouvelle stratégie de sécurité américaine. Il continue par ailleurs de jouer la carte russe de multiples manières, alors même que la Hongrie est membre de l'Union européenne.Alors l'Europe est-elle prête à défier Trump ? Pourquoi les États-Unis veulent-ils s'emparer du Groenland ?

Vzhledem k tomu, co říká a dělá, je maďarský premiér Viktor Orbán v Evropě už delší dobu černou ovcí. Teď překročil pomyslnou červenou čáru a udělil politický azyl bývalému polskému ministru spravedlnosti ve vládách Jaroslawa Kaczyńského Zbigniewu Ziobrovi, který utekl do Budapešti, a nejspíš i jeho ženě.

Why Can't Britain Be More Like Hungary? | Starmer's Brexit Betrayal EXPOSED #Brexit #UKPolitics #Starmer #Hungary #ViktorOrban #FreeSpeech #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #LIVE Tonight, we ask a simple but urgent question: Why can't Britain protect its borders like Hungary does? While Keir Starmer cosies up to the EU and signals a clear desire to drag Britain back into their orbit, the UK's borders remain wide open — despite the clear democratic mandate of Brexit. Hungary proves it doesn't have to be this way. Under Viktor Orbán, Hungary has made its position crystal clear: ❌ No migrant camps ❌ No forced relocation ❌ No weakened borders ❌ No becoming a country of mass immigration As a result, there were fewer than 1,000 illegal entry attempts. What's even more striking? Hungary is still in the EU — and even in Schengen. Orbán has openly warned: "European democracy is in decline. Elections rerun, parties surveilled, candidates blocked, leaders punished for defending borders, free speech sanctioned. Hungary chooses competition over bans and sovereignty over centralised control. That's what democracy looks like. Come and see for yourself." So why won't Starmer listen? Instead of ignoring and betraying the British public, Starmer should take up Viktor Orbán's challenge — and follow Hungary's lead on borders, sovereignty, and democratic accountability.

Day 1,411. Today, as the world reacts to America's operation in Venezuela over the weekend, we explore Moscow's notably muted response - a silence that hints at the tension inside the Kremlin between defending an ally and condemning US action, risking Donald Trump's wrath, or quietly applauding an example of international intervention.

Někdejší vůdce liberální opozice proti komunistickému režimu, student Oxfordské univerzity díky stipendiu nadace finančníka George Sorose, politická naděje po neúspěšné vládě socialistů. A potom pionýr iliberální demokracie, autokrat, spojenec Vladimira Putina a obdivovatel Donalda Trumpa. To vše je maďarský premiér Viktor Orbán. Co způsobilo jeho politický obrat? To rozebírají v podcastu Na Východ! Josef Pazderka a Ondřej Soukup s Martinem Ehlem z Hospodářských novin.

Elections in Hungary are not expected until April, but who is leading in the polls? Péter Magyar's Tisza party or Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's Fidesz? To better understand the situation, I spoke with Daniel Hegedüs, Regional Director for Central Europe at the German Marshall Fund. He writes and speaks extensively on populism and democratic backsliding in Central and Eastern Europe, and we discuss what Orbán may be willing to do to remain in power. Listen to our conversation.

As another year of political mayhem beckons, host Patrick Baker dusts off the crystal ball to see what's in store in 2026, both in Westminster and around the world. POLITICO's Dan Bloom and Annabelle Dickson explain what's at stake at the crucial May elections in Scotland and Wales — and how dire results for Labour could lead to a very real leadership challenge against the prime minister. Dan and Annabelle set the scene for the King's Speech, scheduled for mid-May, and set out the massive challenges the Government faces on a host of domestic fronts including immigration and welfare. Jack Blanchard, POLITICO Playbook managing editor and author in Washington D.C., paints a picture of what we can expect in Trump's America in 2026; highly-charged midterms, crucial Supreme court decisions, multiple foreign policy skirmishes and …. a UFC fight on the White House lawn. Russia expert Mark Galeotti of Mayak Intelligence describes how the war in Ukraine might play out in 2026 and weighs in on the likelihood of a peace agreement both Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy can swallow. POLITICO's Sarah Wheaton, host of the EU Confidential podcast, looks ahead to elections in Hungary in April, which could spell the end for President Viktor Orbán. Middle East expert and author Kim Ghattas, who writes for The Atlantic, explains what could be in store for the next phase of the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.  And football writer Henry Winter looks ahead to the FIFA World Cup next summer. Could 2026 be the year it finally comes home? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Indivisible's Ezra Levin and Hungarian organizer László Upor share creative, community-driven tactics — from joyful protests to bold campus actions — that pushed back against autocratic agendas. Their message: you have more power than you think.Make a tax deductible YEAR END DONATION and become a member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description: If you care about resisting autocracy and building democracy, the U.S. has much to learn from Hungary. While Donald Trump rails against Europe, he and Hungary's strongman leader, Viktor Orbán, have praised each other for years. Anti-democratic, anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-queer — Orbán and Trump came to power on parallel tracks with similar values. In their first interview together, Ezra Levin, the co-founder of Indivisible (the group behind No Kings!) and László Upor, a leader in one of Hungary's most creative and visible resistance efforts, share their experiences of resisting authoritarianism. Upor is former Vice Rector and Acting Rector of the University of Theatre and Film Arts in Budapest — the one university that fought back when the Orbán administration began taking control of Hungary's universities. Levin is the co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible, the grassroots movement behind such protests as the historic Hands Off and No Kings rallies. From the principles of their organizing to frog suits and caution tape, today's episode is a masterclass in creative resistance. Plus a commentary from Laura.“Our enemy in this isn't Trump, it's not the Republicans. It's not the broader regime. Our enemy is this sense of cynicism or fatalism or nihilism . . . I do think a core principle in our communication philosophy is convincing people, you have power, you just gotta use it. The best way to use it is in concert with a lot of other people in your community.” - Ezra Levin“You have to laugh at them, not be afraid of them . . . They don't understand mirth. They don't understand the derision. They think they are invincible. And when we don't give in, they don't understand what's going on.” - László UpperGuests:• Ezra Levin: Co-Founder & Co-Executive Director, Indivisible• László Upor: Former Vice Rector & Acting Rector, University of Theatre and Film Arts (SzFE), Budapest, HungaryListen to the full uncut conversation in this podcast feed.Watch the episode released on YouTube, PBS World Channel, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

On December 16, 2025, President Donald Trump warmly welcomes Andrej Babis to the Prime Ministership of Slovakia. Babis actually predated Donald Trump in his founding of a nationalist movement when he predated M.A.G.A. with A.N.O. in 2011. I haven’t yet mastered the translation of A.N.O., but unpacking the acronym may yield something like the John Rich song lyric: “Stick your ‘progress’ where the Sun don’t shine”. In a beautiful development we now have three neighboring nations with three nationalist patriot Prime Ministers: Robert Fico in Slovakia, Andrej Babis in Czechia, and Victor Orban in Hungary. These three nations have a combined population of 26 million true Europeans. They are nations which have successfully resisted the non-European mass invasion engineered by the Brussels globalists and warmongers. All three patriot nations are also defying the globalist warmongers who created the Ukrainian war.

Brüssel hat einen neuen Rechtsmechanismus beschlossen, der es der EU-Kommission ermöglicht, über eingefrorene russische Vermögenswerte zu entscheiden, ohne dass die Einstimmigkeit aller Mitgliedstaaten erforderlich ist. Viktor Orbán bezeichnet dies als Überschreitung der Rechtsordnung in der EU und kündigt Widerstand an. In mehreren zentralen EU-Fragen verfolgt Ungarn weiterhin eine eigenständige Linie.

In this episode of Explaining History, Nick analyzes the newly published 2025 US National Security Strategy, a document that could be considered a foundational text for the global far-right.We explore how this strategy, with its language of "civilizational erasure" and "European greatness," mirrors the rhetoric of leaders like Viktor Orban and the conspiracy theories of the "Great Replacement." Nick argues that this is not just ideology; it is a manifesto for American interference in European elections, designed to undermine social democracy and pave the way for deregulation favorable to US capital.From the demonization of migration to the cynical normalization of Russia, we unpack how the Trump administration is attempting to reshape Europe in its own image—and why the economic weakness of the continent leaves it vulnerable to this new, aggressive Monroe Doctrine.Key Topics:The 2025 Strategy: A blueprint for far-right interventionism.Civilizational Rhetoric: How "Great Replacement" theory has entered US policy.Economic Imperialism: The drive to deregulate Europe for American corporations.The Future of NATO: Why the US is pivoting towards "patriotic" (i.e., far-right) allies.References:Cas Mudde's analysis in The GuardianOswald Spengler's The Decline of the WestRenaud Camus' The Great ReplacementExplaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

Our Club Spotlight series returns to bring you a very non-controversial topic! That's right, we're covering Hungary's own Ferencvaros, the most decorated club from the proud footballing nation — and often its most contentious. Real-life history major David Blomquist takes us back to the club's founding through its dense history to find out how it became the domestic powerhouse we know today, and also to flesh out its complicated identity and relationship with far-right nationalism. So a super light episode, basically! Let's all hope Viktor Orbán does not come after David. We also discuss the current iteration of the squad under manager Robbie Keane and why they've had such a good start to their Europa League campaign. So join us on a tour of the layered history of a famous club, whose political entanglement reflects a broader sporting reality across the globe — and yes, is also a good football team! Cheers Robbie Keane!

C dans l'air du 5 décembre 2025 - Poutine tout-puissant… qui peut encore l'arrêter ? C'est une nouvelle visite qui suscite beaucoup d'attention. Après avoir reçu vendredi dernier Viktor Orbán à Moscou pour mener des discussions autour de l'énergie, Vladimir Poutine a déclaré ce vendredi qu'il allait continuer de « livrer du pétrole sans interruption » à l'Inde. Le Premier ministre indien Narendra Modi et le président russe se sont retrouvés ce vendredi 5 décembre à New Delhi pour des entretiens destinés à resserrer leurs liens, malgré la pression des États-Unis depuis des mois sur l'Inde pour qu'elle cesse ses achats de pétrole russe en pleine guerre en Ukraine.Une visite du maître du Kremlin qui en dit long sur les grandes manœuvres qui se déroulent actuellement et visent à redéfinir l'ordre mondial. À l'offensive sur les terrains militaire et diplomatique, Vladimir Poutine veut montrer au reste du monde que, malgré les sanctions et le mandat d'arrêt dont il fait l'objet, il n'est pas isolé. Inflexible dans les négociations sur le plan de paix avec l'Ukraine, le président russe entend apparaître comme le grand gagnant de cette période d'intenses discussions qui s'est soldée jeudi par un échange d'amabilités avec Donald Trump, après l'apparent échec de la réunion au Kremlin mardi avec Steve Witkoff et Jared Kushner.« Parvenir à un consensus entre des parties en conflit n'est pas chose aisée, mais je crois que le président Trump s'y emploie sincèrement », a ainsi affirmé hier le maître du Kremlin. « Je pense que nous devons nous engager dans cet effort plutôt que d'y faire obstruction », a-t-il ajouté, faisant allusion aux Européens que Moscou accuse de vouloir empêcher un accord. Un peu plus tôt dans la journée, Donald Trump a évoqué de son côté « une très bonne rencontre », assurant que Vladimir Poutine voulait bien « mettre fin à la guerre ».Des émissaires américains et ukrainiens mènent de nouvelles discussions depuis jeudi en Floride pour tenter de trouver une issue à la guerre, au moment où Washington a annoncé assouplir ses sanctions à l'égard du géant du pétrole russe Lukoil.À Pékin, le président français Emmanuel Macron a pressé hier son homologue chinois d'œuvrer à la fin de la guerre en Ukraine, mais a entendu son hôte rejeter fermement toute part de responsabilité dans la poursuite de la crise ukrainienne. Ce vendredi, il a appelé les Européens à maintenir « l'effort de guerre » et à accroître « la pression sur l'économie russe ». « La seule qui ne veut pas la paix, c'est la Russie, parce qu'elle veut tout », a estimé le chef de l'État. L'Allemagne, de son côté, a promis une aide supplémentaire de 100 millions d'euros à l'Ukraine pour réparer ses infrastructures énergétiques mais veillera « strictement » à son utilisation, en plein scandale de corruption qui ébranle le gouvernement de Kiev. Parallèlement, la Turquie a convoqué les ambassadeurs russe et ukrainien, appelant les deux pays à « laisser les infrastructures énergétiques en dehors de la guerre ».Depuis plusieurs semaines, Moscou multiplie les attaques et pilonne les infrastructures énergétiques de l'Ukraine. En réponse, Kiev intensifie son offensive contre les installations pétrolières russes. En frappant un important terminal pétrolier russe et deux cargos pétroliers liés à Moscou en mer Noire ces derniers jours, Kiev a touché un axe stratégique pour la Russie, le pétrole étant le carburant de l'effort de guerre russe.Nos journalistes se sont rendus il y a quelques semaines aux portes du Donbass, région déchirée de l'Est ukrainien, au cœur de toutes les négociations de paix.Nos experts :- Isabelle LASSERRE - Correspondante diplomatique - Le Figaro, ancienne correspondante en Russie- Lucas MENGET - Grand reporter, réalisateur du documentaire : Des trains dans la guerre - Antoine VITKINE - Journaliste, réalisateur du documentaire Opération Trump : les espions russes à la conquête de l'Amérique - Marie JEGO - Journaliste - Le Monde, ancienne correspondante à Moscou

En un an, les associations ont décompté 600 attaques contre les journalistes et la liberté d'informer.  En Géorgie, les journalistes sont harcelés, discrédités et agressés physiquement. La dérive autoritaire du Rêve géorgien, le parti au pouvoir, a commencé il y a quelques années mais depuis le gel des négociations d'adhésion à l'UE et les manifestations massives qui ont suivi, il y a un an, tout s'est aggravé. C'est pendant ces manifestations que la journaliste Mzia Amaghlobeli a été arrêtée puis incarcérée et condamnée à deux ans de prison pour avoir giflé un policier. Elle recevra, la semaine prochaine, le prix Sakharov pour la liberté de l'esprit au Parlement européen. Mzia Amaghlobeli est la fondatrice de Batoumelebi, un média d'investigation installé à Batoumi, deuxième ville de Géorgie au bord de la mer Noire, dont la rédaction continue de se battre, malgré les menaces. Reportage de Théo Bourgery Gonse.   Le choix musical de Vincent Théval : Silver Linings, un titre de la musicienne néerlando-marocaine Roufaida.   En Suède, un.e politicien.ne sur quatre subit des menaces ou du harcèlement, selon un rapport publié début novembre 2025 à Stockholm. La plupart des incidents recensés l'an dernier (2024) étaient des menaces ou des attaques sur les médias sociaux. Souvent pour leurs prises de position sur des questions de société. Et en octobre 2025, cette violence a poussé la cheffe du parti centriste suédois à démissionner face à la haine et aux menaces. Les explications d'Ottilia Ferey.    En Hongrie, le parti de Viktor Orban a de nouveau rejeté une proposition de loi pour protéger les victimes de violence domestique. Le texte émanait d'une députée d'opposition. Le pays a le taux le plus élevé de l'UE de violences contre les femmes : 54% d'entre elles disent avoir subi des agressions. En réaction, le patron d'un restaurant de Budapest a voulu contribuer, à son échelle, à aider les victimes. Reportage de Florence Labruyère.

Viktor Orbán traf in Moskau Wladimir Putin, um Ungarns Energieversorgung für das kommende Jahr abzusichern. Neben Öl und Gas ging es auch um die Idee eines neuen Gipfeltreffens zwischen Putin und Donald Trump in Budapest. In der EU sorgte der Besuch für Kritik, besonders Bundeskanzler Merz warf Orbán einen nicht abgestimmten Alleingang vor.

Ungarns Rechtsstaatlichkeit steht erneut im Fokus der EU. Ein Zwischenbericht des Europäischen Parlaments verurteilt Budapest. Dies erhöht den Druck vor den Wahlen im nächsten Jahr. Die Regierungspartei von Viktor Orbán spricht von einer politisch motivierten „Hexenjagd“.

C dans l'air du 28 novembre 2025 - Plan de paix : Poutine a-t-il déjà gagné ? Encore une nuit de frappes sur l'Ukraine. Missiles et drones ne laissent que peu de répit aux habitants, alors que les discussions autour du plan de paix américain pour mettre fin à la guerre entre l'Ukraine et la Russie se poursuivent. Jeudi, Vladimir Poutine a déclaré que les grandes lignes de ce plan pourraient servir de base à de « futurs accords » visant à mettre fin au conflit, tout en excluant de signer un document avec les autorités de Kiev, qu'il juge toujours « illégitimes ». Inflexible sur le fond, le président russe a réaffirmé que Moscou mettra fin à son offensive que si les forces ukrainiennes « se retirent des territoires qu'elles occupent » − sans préciser lesquels. « Dans le cas contraire, nous atteindrons nos objectifs militaires », a-t-il menacé.La cession par Kiev à Moscou des régions de Donetsk et de Lougansk figurait dans le plan originel en 28 points présenté la semaine dernière par les États-Unis, plan qui a été perçu par beaucoup à Kiev, en Europe mais aussi outre-Atlantique, comme une capitulation. Le texte a depuis été remanié après des consultations avec l'Ukraine et les Européens. Mais aux États-Unis, le débat sur l'origine réelle de ce plan se poursuit et a mis le feu au Parti républicain, depuis la révélation par le média Bloomberg de conversations entre Steve Witkoff et des proches de Vladimir Poutine, dans lesquelles l'envoyé spécial de Donald Trump apparaît aligné sur la posture russe.Sur le continent, les dirigeants de l'Union européenne tentent de se dresser unis contre la Russie et défendent un plan de paix respectueux de la souveraineté ukrainienne. Pour autant, le Premier ministre hongrois détonne. Viktor Orbán a promis, lors d'une rencontre avec le président Vladimir Poutine ce vendredi au Kremlin, de poursuivre les importations d'hydrocarbures russes dont son pays continue de dépendre. Le président russe, de son côté, s'est dit « très heureux » de la poursuite des relations entre les deux pays, basées selon lui sur le « pragmatisme ».Parallèlement, les autorités anticorruption ukrainiennes ont mené ce vendredi des perquisitions au domicile d'Andriy Iermak, chef de cabinet du président Zelensky. Une nouvelle qui fragilise le président ukrainien, à un moment où il poursuit sa quête d'appuis financiers et militaires en Europe, et alors que Kiev mène des pourparlers très difficiles sur le plan de paix. Andriy Iermak est le négociateur clé dans ce processus.Que contient le plan de paix en discussion ?

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on a meeting between Hungarian President Viktor Orban and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

U.S. markets return following the Thanksgiving holiday but a technical glitch at a CME Group data centre impacts futures trading across equities, treasuries and commodities. European markets see out a turbulent month of November having seen large moves within the tech, health and defence sectors. The Nasdaq break a seven-month winning streak due to ongoing concerns around A.I. stock valuations. Russian President, Vladimir Putin comments on Ukrainian-American peace efforts, saying the talks could form the foundation of a future agreement ahead of next week's talks with Hungarian PM Viktor Orban and the U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff.

Tommy and Ben discuss Syrian transitional President Ahmed Al-Shaara's historic and improbable visit to the White House, Trump's sanctions waiver and special favors for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban ahead of his election, why the US is boycotting the G20 in South Africa, and how a sham election in Tanzania that's led to mass protests and potentially thousands dead. Then they talk about how Trump could bring an end to bloodshed in Sudan with one phone call to the United Arab Emirates, a new list of problems undercutting Trump's case for the Nobel Peace Prize, why Trump is suing the BBC for $1 billion, and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's colossal infrastructure failure in the desert. Then Tommy speaks to Josh Paul and Tariq Habash about why they resigned from the Biden administration over Gaza, and how they're trying to change Democrats' approach to US-Israel policy with their organization, A New Policy.

Today's Headlines: The government shutdown just passed 40 days, but there's finally a flicker of hope: the Senate reached a tentative deal to reopen the government through January, with at least 10 Democrats agreeing to back a short-term funding bill in exchange for a vote next month on extending Obamacare tax credits—a proposal many Democrats previously called “laughable.” Meanwhile, the Supreme Court temporarily blocked a lower court's order requiring the Trump administration to fully fund SNAP benefits, and Trump's USDA quickly told states to stop processing payments. Trump also floated a flurry of financial gimmicks over the weekend—like 50-year mortgages, direct cash “subsidies,” and a $2,000 tariff dividend—while his own Treasury Secretary contradicted him on national TV. Abroad, Trump met with Hungary's Viktor Orbán, granting him a sanctions exemption on Russian oil in exchange for $600 million in U.S. gas contracts. The shutdown is also stalling weapons sales to Ukraine and NATO allies and causing massive flight delays ahead of Thanksgiving. Elsewhere, Cornell struck a controversial deal with the administration to restore funding after discrimination probes, Florida sued Planned Parenthood over abortion pill safety (again, against all science), and in Virginia, a 19-year-old college student beat his former high school teacher in a local election—proving democracy sometimes delivers sequels no one saw coming.

President Trump grants Hungary a one-year exemption from US sanctions on Russian oil and gas purchases during a visit to the White House by his right wing ally, Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban. The sanctions were introduced in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Also: Senators fail to agree a compromise to pay essential federal workers, including air traffic controllers, during the US Government shutdown; more than 200 people have been charged with treason after protests against the disputed election in Tanzania; Nobel Prize-winning American scientist James Watson, one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA, has died aged 97; and archaeologists have compiled the most detailed map yet of the roads that criss-crossed the Roman Empire from Great Britain to North Africa.

US president Donald Trump has announced that Hungary will not have to face sanctions for importing Russian oil, following a White House meeting with Hungary's right-wing prime minister Viktor Orban.It comes after the US effectively blacklisted two of Russia's largest oil companies last month, threatening sanctions on those who buy from them.Also in the programme: 10 years after the Paris climate change conference agreed to limit global warming, we'll analyse what has been achieved by the agreement; we'll look at how Tunisian opposition leaders are supporting each other by going on hunger strike; and we'll hear from the woman who took up golf in her 50s and just hit three holes in one in a month.[Photo shows U.S. President Donald Trump hosts a bilateral lunch with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Vice President JD Vance, at the White House in Washington DC on 7 November 2025.

Discussion shifts to the overwhelming US military buildup near Venezuela, which might force Maduro's departure by damaging his credibility, possibly via anti-narcotics action. The interview concludes by analyzing the anticlimactic Trump-Xi meeting, attributing the lack of confrontation to Xi Jinping's significantly weakened position due to China's shattered economy and internal power struggles.

Regarding Gaza, he suggests the potential creation of "two Gazas" leads to an indefinite, burdensome Israeli occupation and creates a breeding ground for future insurgency. 1145-1200 Nuclear Testing, Venezuela Buildup, and Gaza Occupation.

What do Stalin, Trump, and Viktor Orbán have in common? They're all fragile men terrified of truth, artists, and of anyone with a moral compass. In this week's Gaslit Nation, we talk with 91-year-old Peter Hidas, who as a young student helped ignite the 1956 Hungarian Uprising, a movement born of courage and faith in a better world. Peter's story is a testament to what ordinary people can do when they refuse to bow to tyranny. The revolts that shook the Iron Curtain in 1956 laid the groundwork for the movements that would one day bring down the Soviet empire, to the unforgettable soundtrack of Swan Lake played on repeat on Soviet TV by a collapsing regime. Today, a new generation of brave Russians has reclaimed that symbol: the “Swan Lake Collective” is being played by artists on the streets of Russia, creating a rallying cry “Let the swans dance!” for peace, freedom, and the end of Putin's Fox News–style dictatorship. Gaslit Nation is here to remind you that Putin's days are numbered.  This week's show also celebrates the heroes of the No Kings protests, the Gen Z meme pirates toppling corruption crime sprees pretending to be governments, how Trump and Putin might try to save Orban's doomed April 2026 election, and more.  So keep marching. Keep creating.That's how we win.  The song featured in this week's episode is “Election Day” by The Spiders.
