NEW ARTICLE about the Shortwave Report in the Boulder Weekly by Gavin Dahl-

 

     This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, Sputnik Radio, Radio Havana Cuba, Spanish National Radio, and NHK World Radio Japan.

     From GERMANY-  Several stories about the refugee situation in Germany and the conflicts with the Turkey deal. Chancellor Merkel proposed a new law requiring language and integration classes for migrants. There is a large increase in attempts at sea migration since the blocking of the Balkan passage for refugees. Egyptian forensic experts doubt terrorists had anything to do with the recent plane crash.

     From RUSSIA-  George Galloway interviewed Dr Carolina Matos about the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff in Brazil. She points out that corruption is present throughout Brazilian politics and judicial system. Unlike European and American right-wing politicians, interim President Temer is very regressive and a throwback to the 1960s or even the 19th century.

      From CUBA- A leaked audio recording revealed that the impeachment bid in Brazil is to protect numerous other corrupt officials. Then a Viewpoint on President Obama's visit to Asian nations- in Vietnam he avoided mentioning the effects of Agent Orange that are still plaguing civilians 50 years later. Obama will visit Hiroshima but not apologize for the largest mass killing of humans in history. 

      From SPAIN- Alison Hughes reports on Obama fully lifting the embargo on lethal arms sales to Vietnam and cooperation in the South China Sea conflicts. During his visit Obama confirmed the drone execution of the Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Mansour, once considered a moderate until Islamic State moved into the country.

     From JAPAN- A group of American activists and scholars urged Obama to meet with atomic bomb survivors, halt the development of new generation nuclear weapons, and to consider apologizing for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 100,000 police have been deployed across Japan for the summit meeting of the G-7 nations. Japanese nuclear regulators have approved a new plan for direct burial of nuclear waste.

 

There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line -

I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek, available at http://radio.mediageek.net 

 

  All that plus times and frequencies for listening at home. It's free to rebroadcast, please notify me if you're airing it and haven't notified me in the last month, please mention the website if you only air a portion. If you just want to listen and have a slow connection, try the streaming version- lower sound quality but good enough and way easier if you don't have a high-speed internet connection. If streaming is a problem because of your slow connection, download the smaller file- it takes 20 minutes or less, and will play swell in any mp3 player application (RealPlayer, Winamp, Quicktime, iTunes, etc) you have on your computer. 

TIME SLOT on KZYX! This program will be aired on Sunday afternoon at 4pm (PST) on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via < http://www.kzyx.org > 

 

I hope you'll listen and air this if you're connected with a radio station. I am still wondering how to get financially compensated for the 25 hours I put into this program weekly- any ideas are appreciated. Any stations rebroadcasting this (or listeners) are welcome to donate for production costs. You can do so through the website. Many thanks to those that have donated! No Guilt! (maybe a little)
