Iran has ruled out participation in Syrian peace talks while rebel groups there fight each other. British trial lawyers staged a first ever strike in response to a 30% cut in legal aid fees.
From GERMANY- The fatal shooting of an unarmed black man by London police was ruled lawful- the incident in 2011 led to the worst rioting in decades. The Turkish government has fired hundreds of police in a current corruption scandal- the Prime Minister says there is an international conspiracy to overthrow his government. On the eve of John Kerry's departure, the Israeli government approved new settlement building. Protests against the government of Ukraine are continuing. Greece has assumed the EU rotating presidency for 6 months.
From CUBA- The German government has agreed to a public inquiry into NSA spying. Iran has warned that fresh US sanctions will destroy the deal reached at the Geneva nuclear talks. In Afghanistan at least 9 more people were killed by US drone strikes. Noam Chomsky warns that the world is racing toward environmental catastrophe and nuclear war in 2014. While the US saw record cold temperatures, Australia has experienced a record heat wave.
From RUSSIA- While the US has been freezing, extreme rains have flooded much of the UK and Australia experienced record high temperatures- a climatologist discusses global weather extremes and climate change.
From JAPAN- People in the central Philippines are still suffering from the typhoon 2 months ago. India and Japan have agreed to strengthen mutual defenses- Japan is also working on exporting nuclear power technology to India. The Turkish PM is visiting Japan, hoping to firm up Japanese involvement in building a nuclear power plant there. The number of Japanese citizens living on welfare has hit a new record high.

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
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)
