    This week's show begins with an interview with a member of the Arctic Institute about Trump's eye on Greenland, the German government cuts funding to some human rights organizations for being critical of Israeli actions in Palestine, international press reviews on Panama, Greenland, Musk attempting to influence European politics, and US Steel and Nippon Steel both sue over Biden cancelled the purchase.

    This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, France 24, and NHK Japan. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr250110.mp3 (29:00) From GERMANY- Trump said that he would like to incorporate the Panama Canal and Greenland into US territory. While some in the US consider this distraction politics, the notions have raised concern in the rest of the world. An interview with Victoria Herrmann, a Senior Fellow at the Arctic Institute, discusses why Greenland has been of military and economic interest to the US for 100 years. She describes the independence movement in the island and the desire for marketing resources. Canadian PM Trudeau announced his resignation that will not take effect until Parliament reconvenes in March. RDW found that the German government has cut funding for several human rights organizations that have been critical of Israeli actions in the current war in Palestine. One of the groups defunded is New Profile, an Israeli movement which supports conscientious objectors and a civilian society. From FRANCE-A very interesting week for international press reviews. First, a Panama paper says Trumps threats show imperialism continues- then a Danish and a Greenland paper have different takes on the US interest in Greenland. Elon Musk is getting many headlines in the European press, from his dissipated support for British right wing leader Nigel Farage, to his attacks on the PM Starmer. Then a report on Musk versus Starmer and the UK government- French President Macron accused Musk of supporting a new reactionary international movement. Finally press reviews on the end of fact-checking on Meta applications. From JAPAN- In response to Biden canceling the sale of US Steel to Nippon Steel, both companies filed a lawsuit. The WHO says cases of Human Metapneumovirus, HMPV, are rising in China but within an expected range. Indonesia is the first SouthEast Asian country to have full membership in the BRICS economic group. Vietnam has the third largest trade surplus with the US. The EurAsia group says 2025 will be the most geopolitically dangerous year since the Cold War.

    This week's show features stories from France 24, NHK Japan, Radio Havana Cuba, and Radio Deutsche-Welle, http://youthspeaksout.net/swr250103.mp3 (29:00) From FRANCE- On their end of the year programs most radio stations gave a brief summary of the state of the environment- here is what France 24 reported from World Weather Attribution, an organization which quantifies global climate changes. Israeli airstrikes on Gaza continued through the year end with Israel saying they were responses to daily rocket launches from Hamas which has many new recruits. The political upheaval in South Korea over the President and his successor continues, with citizens manning the streets to express their views of the events. From JAPAN-First an update on a warrant issued for the ex-president, which he rejects as invalid. The Washington Post reported that Nippon Steel will allow the US government to veto on any potential cuts in steel production in the US if the sale of US Steel goes through. Pipelines through Ukraine are no longer carrying gas to the remaining European countries. UN Secretary-General Guterres delivered a year end presentation on climate breakdown.

    This week's show begins with Elon Musk interfering in EU politics, an interview with Paul Watson fresh from detention, Israel expanding in the West Bank, Japan is the third largest contributor to the UN, EPA staffers criticize Biden for cutting off funds to the Climate Justice Alliance.

    This week's show features stories from France 24, Radio Deutsche-Welle, NHK Japan, and Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr241227.mp3 (29:00) From FRANCE- Elon Musk wrote that the far-right AFD party in Germany is the only thing that can save the country- a former European Commissioner has called his statements illegal foreign interference. Trump took another swipe at Canadian PM Trudeau causing widespread reaction across the country. Israeli troops are moving about in Syria causing fear, resentment, and some evacuations. Then a few excerpts from an interview with Paul Watson, anti-whaling activist who returned to France after 5 months in detention in Greenland at the request of Japan. He talks about the success of stopping whaling, his strategy for environmental action, and rejects being labelled an eco-terrorist. I recommend the excellent complete 19 minute interview which is available on Youtube, search for "Paul Watson France 24". From GERMANY-As Israeli troops continue raiding the West Bank with lethal force- the Israeli government announced plans to annex more territory for new settlements in the occupied area. First Akiva Eldar, an Israeli political analyst, talks about the West Bank with Trump as US president and the shift in the Israeli cabinet. Then Laura Blumenfeld, a Mideast analyst at Johns Hopkins University, says Trump is twice as popular as Netanyahu in Israel, and talks further about Israeli plans to annex more of the occupied West Bank. From JAPAN- Japan remains the third largest contributor to the UN. An update on impeachment plans in South Korea. In Syria more recent terrorists are given key government positions. From CUBA- A former State Department official says the US government is pursuing Israeli interests over its own. EPA staffers demand that Biden restore funds to the Climate Justice Alliance which were cut over advocating for Palestine. BRICS will be expanding with 9 new partner countries.
