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

 

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

     From JAPAN- At annual shareholders meetings, proposals to scrap Japanese nuclear power plants were rejected at 9 power utilities across the country. Japanese nuclear regulators have revised plans for providing medical services in the event of an accident at nuclear power plants. A Japanese telecom company is investing $16 billion in solar energy projects in India- the Indian government is financing a 30-fold increase in solar energy in the next 7 years.

     From CHINA-  China and the US concluded a two-day summit discussing climate change, cyber security, and conflicts in the South China Sea. China is opposed to the  new US defense bill which invites Taiwan to join US military forces for drills in the South China Sea. Australia has been accepted as a founding member of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. China pledged about $500 million to help rebuild Nepal in the wake of recent earthquakes. US car maker Tesla will establish charging networks in Chinese cities.

     From GERMANY- NATO members met and announced troop and equipment upgrades in response to what they said were aggressive actions by Russia in Ukraine. Germany arrested then released an al-Jazeera journalist wanted for extradition by the Egyptian President Sisi. Wikileaks published a report that the NSA has been spying on French Presidents for the past 10 years. The EU is launching operations against networks of smugglers bringing migrants to Europe. Discussions between Greece and its creditors again came to no resolution.

      From CUBA- Ecuadorian President Correa says that there is a right-wing plan underway to overthrow his government. A poll in Guatemala says that 84% of citizens want the President to resign because of corruption. Chile declared an environmental emergency because of air pollution. In Mexico a mayor-elect was assassinated. Venezuela is angry at US State Department accusations of terrorism. It is reported that 3 million Iraqis has become displaced since 2014.

      From RUSSIA- Afshin Rattansi interviewed Iraqi scholar Sami Ramadani on how genuine the war on terror against ISIL forces really is. Is the US using terrorists to create political divisions?

 

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)
