    This Week's show begins with war preparations in Taiwan, several reports on the recent BRICS summit in Brazil, are Israeli plans to relocate Palestinians war crimes?, and carrying a sign supporting Palestine Action in the UK is a terror crime.

    This week's show features stories from NHK Japan, France 24, Radio Deutsche-Welle, and Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr250711.mp3 (29:00) From JAPAN- Taiwan has begun its longest ever live fire military drills and evacuation drills in major cities. Ukraine again increased its attacks on military sites deep into Russian territory. At a 2 day summit in Brazil, leaders of BRICS expressed concern about the tariff policies of Trump. Vietnam got a reduced tariff from Trump after allowing the development of his golf course, purchasing Boeing jets, and increased imports of LNG. From FRANCE- A business report on the latest Trump tariffs especially a 50% levy on Brazil, which actually has a trade surplus with the US. Human caused climate change made Europe up to 4 degrees Celsius last week which researchers say resulted in an additional 2500 deaths from the heatwave. From GERMANY- Israeli PM Netanyahu is promoting his vision for Gaza which involves relocating all civilians out of the territory- this could be considered a crime against humanity and a war crime. The defense minister has proposed a so-called humanitarian city in Rafah, where all Gazans would be placed with no exit. Several experts discuss the prospects including Rene Wildangel, a former policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. From CUBA- In the UK belonging to or supporting a group called Palestine Action has become a terror crime, 29 citizens were arrested last weekend for holding signs supporting the group. The death toll of Palestinians waiting to get food from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has risen to 700. At the BRICS summit an alternative international payment system is moving forward.

    This week's show begins with French public broadcasters survive a revenge attack in Parliament, an interview with Reporters Without Borders about the 200 journalist killed by Israeli forces in Gaza, the Japanese perspective on Trump’s tariff war, and Venezuela denounces an international conspiracy to destabilize the country and justify a US intervention.

    This week's show features stories from France 24, RDW, NHK Japan, and Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr250704.mp3 (29:00) From FRANCE- First a press review about the bill before the French Parliament which would merge all public broadcasters together, revenge from some politicians who do not like their criticism- the bill has failed to pass so far. A press report on West Bank settlers who have been attacking Israeli Defense Forces who shot an Israeli 14 year old who the soldier mistook for a Palestinian. Then an updated report from Jerusalem about the West Bank settlers and the Israeli right wing who accuse the military of being leftists. From GERMANY- Following an Israeli attack on a seaside cafe in Gaza that killed 30 civilians including another journalist, DW interviewed Martin Roux from Reporters Without Borders. They discuss this cafe incident as well as the unprecedented killing of 200 journalists by the Israeli army in its war on Gaza since October 2023. Journalists in war zones are protected under international law, and targeting them is a war crime. From JAPAN- Trump has expressed frustration in trade talks with Japan- Japan is also frustrated and this report expresses the view from Japan. It also includes some history of the tariff conflict between the massive business partners. Zelensky wants to pull Ukraine from the Ottawa Convention which bans anti-personnel land mines- recently Poland and Finland said they are withdrawing from the treaty as well. Ukraine carried out a drone strike on a Russian factory 800 miles across the border. From CUBA- Venezuela reported an international conspiracy bringing weapons across their borders to destabilize the country and justify a US intervention. No one is sure if the International Criminal Court will survive the Trump administration pressure on Gaza. Iran urged the UN and Security Council to strongly condemn Israel and the US for violating its national sovereignty.

    This week's show starts with BRICS expansion and Trump's threat, press reviews on US bombing Iran, Iran bombing US military in Qatar, Palestinians continue being murdered waiting for food distribution, and Trump getting most NATO countries to spend more on war, and UK activists Palestine Action to be considered terrorists.

    This week's show features stories from NHK Japan, France 24, and Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr250627.mp3 (29:00) From JAPAN- Vietnam has been officially admitted as a partner country in BRICS group of emerging economies- Trump recently warned the members moving away from international trade using US dollars. Putin has been trying to pressure Ukraine to accept a potential peace treaty. Ukraine is speeding up production of drones designed to take out other drones and wants foreign finance. UNICEF says 470 million children are currently affected by conflicts and wars, that is 1 of 6 children on earth. From FRANCE- I have found that it is increasingly difficult to find news reports that are definitively accurate. That is one of the reasons I love press reviews. Here are 7 press reviews from France, beginning with last weekends extreme heatwave in much of Europe. The US military strikes on Iranian facilities was the front page story for several days, though what effectively happened is widely disputed. International opinion is divided, some calling it illegal and reckless, and others praising what is claimed by Trump to have been accomplished by the bombs. The Iranian military response in Qatar, announced in advance, was said to be the reason for the ceasefire that followed. Then by Thursday the press had returned to the food distribution project in Gaza that has resulted in hundreds of civilians being murdered while trying to avoid starving to death. There was much opinion about Trump getting NATO members to agree to eventually spending 5% of GDP on their militaries. From CUBA- More on the rising death toll in Gaza, made worse by a man made drought. In the UK the group Palestine Action is in the cue to be labeled as terrorists and banned. Last weekend activists held a national day of protest in the US against the US bombing in Iran. It is reported that Israel is seeking access to US military weapons for retaliation against Iran.
