NEW ARTICLE about the Shortwave Report in the Boulder Weekly by Gavin Dahl- http://npaper-wehaa.com/boulder-weekly/2015/03/26/#?article=2478097
This week's show features stories from NHK World Radio Japan, Sputnik Radio, Radio Havana Cuba, and Spanish National Radio. From JAPAN- 50 non-nuclear countries at the UN General Assembly submitted a resolution calling for a treaty to ban all nuclear weapons- the US urged all NATO members to oppose the resolution, which as of press time had not come up for a vote. Philippine President Duterte spent several days in Japan after his visit to China. Japanese Prime Minister Abe made agreements with Duterte on economic and security matters, notably the conflicts in the South China Sea. Duterte wants all US troops out of the Philippines within 2 years, and warned Japan of an impending confrontation between the US and China in the South China Sea. NATO members are discussing a perceived threat of Russian military buildup adjacent to countries where NATO is increasing its military presence. Reporters Without Borders say that media freedom in Okinawa is under threat, with police removing those reporting on protests at US military bases in the prefecture- they also found US military surveillance of Japanese citizens, NGOs, and journalists. Officials have directed the burning of low-level radioactive waste starting in January to see if it is safe. From RUSSIA- Afshin Rattansi talks about the pesticide risks to bees in Europe, the UK has banned some but not all pesticides thought to contribute to colony collapse- the German company Bayer produces most of these chemicals and is buying up Monsanto which is developing genetically-modified bees. From CUBA- For the first time the US abstained from voting on a UN resolution calling for the lifting of the economic blockade on Cuba- the blockade has seen a few adjustments but overall remains in complete effect. Venezuelan President Maduro has accused the opposition of attempting a parliamentary coup not unlike what has happened in Brazil. Opposition to the Presidential takeover in Brazil has led to the occupation of 1000 schools in the country. From SPAIN- The Socialists abstained from voting in Parliament, thereby allowing Mariano Rajoy to continue as Prime Minister and avoiding a third round of elections. Catalonia will hold a binding referendum on independence in 2017, while the federal government annulled the regional ban on bull fighting. In light of calls for a no-fly zone in Syria, Alison recalls the no-fly zone in Libya which led to the death of Gaddafi and, five years later, a failed state. The World Meteorological Organization reported dire levels of gases and carbon in the atmosphere, but pushed alternative energy now as a means of stopping an even more alarming future.
There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line - http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-shortwaves
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!
