This week's show features stories from Spanish National Radio, the Voice of Russia, Radio Deutsche-Welle, Radio Havana Cuba, and NHK World Radio Japan..
From SPAIN- Police in India arrested 1300 people protesting the arrest of an anti-corruption activist. The trial of Egypt's former President Mubarak is moving along in Cairo. Prime Minister Cameron says he wants to tackle Britain's broken society.
From RUSSIA- A commentary comparing the UK riots with the ones in San Francisco and the so-called "Arab Uprising." This piece was aired before BART officials admitted that they had intentionally shut down cell phone service to inhibit the demonstration.
From GERMANY- Many find that the prison sentences being given to demonstrators in the UK riots as abnormal and likely to stoke the resistance rather than control it. British Parliamentarians published evidence that senior figures, including Rupert Murdoch, were aware of the phone hacking practices used at the now defunct News Of The World.
From CUBA- The opposition parties in Venezuela have been illegally given more than $100 million from the US, including $5 million from the White House this past February. Leaders of the student movement in Chile stated that they will not back down from their demands, including that the state administers and finances public education, and the end of money making in the educational system. US drone attacks continue to escalate in Pakistan. Richard Clarke, former advisor on terrorism at the White House, has accused former CIA director George Tenet of harboring the terrorists who attacked the World Trade Center on Sept 11 2001.
From JAPAN- NHK produced a daily segment this week on the various types of renewable energy being successfully used around the planet. This segment covers the use of wind power in Germany which is scheduled to completely eliminate nuclear power in 2022.

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.
NEW TIME SLOT on KZYX! This program will be aired on Sunday afternoon at 4pm (PDST) on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via
