Iată motivul pentru care a propus un armistițiu de trei zile în apropierea sărbătorii dedicate zilei victoriei în cel de-al doilea război mondial. Presa ucraineană vorbește despre o propunere manipulatoare menită să asigure liniștea unui act ritual – o nouă paradă dedicată cultului necrofil dezvoltat de ruși în legătură cu această zi. „În ajunul tradiționalei isterii victorioase care are loc în fiecare an în Rusia pentru a comemora sfârșitul celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial, Kremlinul a anunțat un armistițiu de trei zile în Ucraina. Ucraina a respins însă această propunere manipulatoare, amintind că baza unei diplomații autentice nu poate fi decât un armistițiu imediat și fiabil, care să dureze cel puțin 30 de zile,” citim în unian.ua.Jurnaliștii ucraineni spun că doar rușii beneficiază de propunerea lui Putin.„De fapt, Rusia a construit un cult pseudo-religios necrofil în preajma celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial. Prin urmare, conform planului conducerii dictatoriale ruse, pe 9 mai ar trebui să aibă loc un act sacru, un ritual – (adică, n.r.) o paradă în Piața Roșie. Și este extrem de important pentru ruși ca în niciun caz dronele ucrainene să nu participe la această paradă. Pentru că ar putea foarte bine să aterizeze în fața Kremlinului,” mai scrie Unian.Publicația adaugă: „Rușii știu foarte bine că apărarea lor antiaeriană nu este capabilă să le garanteze securitatea, nici măcar în capitală. Dar chiar dacă s-ar putea conta pe apărarea aeriană rusească, o simplă alertă de apărare aeriană în mijlocul unei parade și necesitatea de a-l ascunde pe Vladimir Putin însuși și pe toți oaspeții săi străini undeva într-un adăpost ar fi neplăcută pentru Federația Rusă.”„Mai mult, o anulare a paradei i-ar demoraliza foarte mult pe ruși înșiși. Situația din Federația Rusă nu este deloc aceeași ca acum doi ani sau chiar acum un an. Dacă la vremea respectivă existau mulți voluntari care stăteau la coadă la birourile de recrutare militară pentru a semna un contract, astăzi mobilizarea este problematică.”Ucraina va fi reprezentată la Eurovizion de grupul Ziferblat„Artiștii ucraineni au reușit întotdeauna să se califice în finala Eurovision, însă râvnita victorie a fost obținută doar de trei ori,” relatează tot unian.ua.„Cântăreții ucraineni au impresionat adesea cu talentul  vocal pe scena internațională, cucerind mii de fani din întreaga Europă. Au ajuns pe podium de mai multe ori, dar doar trei artiști ucraineni au câștigat primul loc.” Aceeași performanță a fost egalată de Suedia.Prima apariție a Ucrainei la Eurovision a fost în 2003, iar în anul următor țara a obținut prima sa victorie.Anul acesta evenimentul va începe pe 13 mai, iar Ucraina va fi reprezentată de grupul Ziferblat.Partidul aflat la putere în Georgia acuză UE de șantajVisul Georgian răspunde cu ultimatumuri la declarațiile comisarului european pentru extindere, Marta Kos, privind posibila reluare a dialogului cu Tbilisi. Ce își dorește „Visul Georgian” și ce măsuri se discută la Bruxelles pentru a „readuce Tbilisi pe calea europeană”?Iată un subiect din radiotavisupleba.ge, Europa Liberă în limba georgiană.Într-un interviu acordat publicației, Marta Kos enumeră deciziile pe care le-ar putea lua Uniunea dacă Georgia nu respectă angajamentele luate din postura de candidat la Uniunea Europeană. Proteste masive au loc în țară de anul trecut, opoziția nerecunoscând rezultatul alegerilor legislative. Partidul aflat la putere, Visul Georgian a format singur parlamentul, opoziția refuzând să preia mandatele. Suspendarea călătoriilor fără vize în UE și înghețarea statutului de candidat, sunt două dintre măsurile pe care le-ar putea lua Bruxellesul pentru a conducerea de la Tbilisi.Visul georgian răspunde Uniunii cu un ultimatum: „Limbajul șantajului” - așa numește controversata președintă a Parlamentului, Chalva Papuashvili, pârghiile de presiune enumerate de comisarul european. În ultima vreme, acesta nu a ezitat să critice Bruxelles-ul acuzând că în Uniunea Europeană „există partidul războiului mondial, alias (Deep State, n.r.) Statul Profund”.Papuashvili susține că finanțează „propaganda violenței și discursul instigator la ură în Georgia.”  La fel ca noua administrație americană, UE ar trebui să denunțe „practicile dăunătoare în utilizarea ajutorului extern” și să examineze critic „modul în care banii UE au fost implicați în finanțarea diverselor procese dăunătoare din alte țări, inclusiv din Georgia.”Controversatul președinte al Parlamentului spune că se confruntă cu Bruxelles-ul în numele „poporului georgian,” adaugă publicația.R.Moldova ia măsuri împotriva profesorilor care răspândesc propagandă ruseascăProfesorii din Republica Moldova nu vor mai putea colabora cu organizații care subminează suveranitatea și securitatea statului, potrivit unor modificări propuse la Codul de etică al cadrului didactic, citate de diez.md. Acestea se află în consultare publică până pe 9 mai. Proiectul mai prevede interzicerea manifestărilor extremiste, xenofobe și a implicării în organizații sancționate de Uniunea Europeană.În data de 2 mai, ministrul educației și cercetării, Dan Perciun, a anunțat că tot mai muți profesori din unele regiuni ale Republicii Moldova merg la instruiri în Federația Rusă. Aceste întâlniri sunt organizate prin intermediul organizației Evrazia – aflată sub sancțiuni în Uniunea Europeană pentru subminarea independenței Republicii Moldova și afiliată cu oligarhul condamnat Ilan Șor.Acolo sunt reiterate narativele promovate de Federația Rusă la nivel global și, în special, în regiuni. Au participat la Revista Presei Europa Plus:Salome MIKADZE,  GéorgiaValeriia SEREDENKO, UcrainaInna SEREDIUK, UcrainaKateryna MAZUR, UcrainaMadalina RUJANSCHI, Moldavie

We kick off our 2025 Eurovision Review Season with #EurovisionSky poster Ted Van Houten to discuss the entries from Albania, Slovenia, Belgium, Ukraine, and Poland. About Ted Ted is a transportation planner in Washington, DC. As someone who loves European geopolitics, obscure pop music, and being a homosexual, Ted was destined to be a Eurovision fan as soon as he found out about it. Other than Eurovision, Ted enjoys trivia competitions (both online and at his local bar), tennis, reality television, and making puns on Bluesky that get less likes than he wishes they would.

Greetings Two Shot Pod listeners. Thanks a lot for joining us this week. We've had a sit down and brew and a cake with stand-up comic Brennan Reece! We travelled to Ziferblat in Manchester's Northern Quarter to meet Brennan, who was an absolute joy to be around. He's a affable type of guy who commands a room and can't resist an opportunity to bring a smile to your face. You might have seen Brennan doing his thing at the Edinburgh fringe or at one the comedy clubs he's had in stitches over the years. You might have even seen him in one of the acting roles that he's portraying since he was a wee un. Thanks a lot for listening. Hope you enjoy. Get in touch...

Obviously they spoke about The Fall, MES, rumours, truth, record labels, DJs and how and why he used to be known as “Lard”. You’ll know Marc (depending on your age) as an ex-member of The Fall, a BBC RADIO ONE DJ & one half of MARK & LARD, or, as BBC RADIO 6 MUSIC DJ where Monday to Thursday he hosts his own show and picks his own favourite artists to come and play live in his studio. In recent weeks he’s had TSP favourite BILL RYDER JONES in for him. It was, of course a beautiful set from Bill. Marc has belting taste in music you know. We have to say, Marc is cracking company and this shines throughout this episode and we can’t thank him enough for coming on and also for his support of the podcast. By the end of this episode you’ll understand why it’s pretty much ok NOT to have a plan in life.  We really hope you enjoy this episode. We loved meeting and chattering with Marc. He’s tip top.

Alright. Hope you're well. Nice one for getting onto this episode of the podcast. It's episode 54 and it's a beautiful chat with Bill Ryder-Jones. Bill is a musician from down the East Lancs road and if you've not already listened to his stuff then you're missing out. We'd recommend starting with with 'if...' which is an absolute masterpiece of jaw-dropping scale. 'West Kirby County Primary' is absolute class too. And have a look at his new video Mither here -  Basically, listen to it all. It's all boss. Bill is a true artist and a properly fascinating person. He talks with Craig about creativity, mental states, loss, friendship and loads more. It was an absolute privilege to listen in on it and we hope that you get as much from it as we have. If you do, it'll stay with you.We recorded this one in Manchester at the lovely Ziferblat on Edge Street in the Noirthern Quarter (Nice one to Ziferblat for being ace and finding us a room).  Get in touch...

HOW THE DEVIL ARE YOU?... ahh, it feels good to be back and OFFICALLY start the new term doesnt it? This week we hopped in the car and went up the road to Manchester, sat down and set up in the lovely Ziferblat on Edge Street in the Northern Quarter and were joined by the infectiously lovely actor and comedian Siân Gibson! We spent a magical hour or so drinking brews and discussing uncomfortable auditions, castings, family life, fallow periods and Wales. You'll know Siân from loads of telly programs, most notably playing Kayleigh Kitson in the BBC sitcom Car Share which she co-wrote with Peter Kay. Siân's outlook on life is completely inspiring and she shares the ups and downs of her acting life with wonderful charm. We loved it and we hope you love listening too. We've got a bunch more excellent TSP eps in the can now and we can't wait to share them with you. TSP thursdays are back in effect!!! Get in touch...

Former Apprentice contestant Michaela Wain and journalist Chris Hemmings help us figure out if women can break into boys clubs – those industries where men favour each other for jobs and create an atmosphere which makes it hard for women to get ahead.Michaela runs several businesses in the construction industry, which is also very male, and her assertive drive and ability to crack on and get things done inspired many people during her stint on The Apprentice. Chris has written about macho culture and his experiences in the Rugby Club while at university in his book ‘Be a Man'. He reports on masculinity and how it's changing and what needs to be done to create healthier male cultures.Host and producer: Nas aka Nastaran Tavakoli-FarCo-host: Jonathan FreemanGuests: Michaela Wain, entrepreneur, contestant on The Apprentice https://twitter.com/Michaelawain1Chris Hemmings, Journalist, author of ‘Be A Man' https://twitter.com/hemmchLive show sponsor: The Balvenie https://www.thebalvenie.com/ and Piper Heidsieck https://www.piper-heidsieck.com/Co-producers: Sam Baker and Jonathan BlackwellBusiness development: Cynara VetchLive show sound engineer: Richard AndrewsLive show venue: Ziferblat http://london.ziferblat.net/Related links: The Gender Knot podcast and Facebook Grouphttps://www.thegenderknot.com/https://www.facebook.com/groups/182851532302085/Music: Government Funded Weed by Black Ant (used under Creative Commons)
