    This week's show begins with a comparison between the US and Iran peace proposals, Australia and the EU have concluded talks on a Free Trade deal, stock market insider trader scandal, flotilla aid reaches Cuba, and the US is impeding Cuba's International Medical Brigades.

    This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, NHK Japan, France 24, and Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr260327.mp3 (29:00) From GERMANY- Excerpts from an interview with Stephen Wertheim an analyst the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Iran and the US rejected each others ceasefire proposals. There is little evidence that the war is winding down soon. He discusses why the original agreement failed, and if there is an offramp from the war being prepared. From JAPAN- Australia and the EU have concluded talks on a free trade agreement, which will remove almost all tariffs between them. Ukraine announced attacks on key Russian oil facilities, including one 1400 KM from the border- Russia retaliated by attacking the Ukrainian defense industry. The Foreign Ministers of China and Iran spoke by phone on Tuesday, with China recommending negotiations. From FRANCE- It appears that some investors used insider trading information to buy a half a billion dollars of oil stock short on Monday just 15 minutes before Trump posted that the war was winding down, causing the price to drop 14%. The cost of oil has led many countries to further invest in renewables- but the US returned nearly a billion dollars to French company TotalEnergies to drop its plans to build windfarms off the US Eastern Coast. From CUBA- Cuba has been on the air this week. Mexican President Sheinbaum gave her support to the flotillas bringing aid to Cuba, including using a ship to protect them at sea, and says she is working to find a way to get fuel to the country. Codepink with 140 people was successful in bringing aid to Havana, and on Tuesday a Mexican tuna boat delivered 30 tons of humanitarian aid. The US has been working to impede the renowned international Cuban Medical Brigades from doing their lifesaving work in Latin America.

    This week's show begins with analysis os Israeli attacks on Lebanon and a million civilians displaced, more immigrants will be heading to Europe, Iran had agreed to UN nuclear inspections the day before Israel and the US began bombing, what is happening in Cuba with power failure and what is Trumps plan, and convoys from Europe and the US are arriving with medical supplies for Cuba.

    This week's show features stories from France 24, Radio Havana Cuba, and NHK Japan. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr260320.mp3 (29:00) From GERMANY- Excerpts from an interview with Professor Fawaz Gerges from the London School of Economics. Israel has been attacking Lebanon, partly in retaliation for Hezbollah attacks since the war on Iran. One thousand Lebanese civilians have been killed and one million are displaced from their homes. Now Israel has escalated the bombing to include Beirut. Fawaz describers the Israeli action as collective punishment, and explains that Hezbollah is not simply a paramilitary group but a political and social movement as well. Also he says that people fleeing war zones in the recent past have ended up immigrating to European countries, where they are not welcome. From FRANCE- 3 press reviews. The first is about the Belgian PM who suggests that Europe should normalize relations from Russia to help secure cheaper energy. Then press reactions to Trump suggesting that allies join the US military in the war on Iran. The Guardian had an article about the UK representative at the US Iran talks in Geneva before the US and Israel attacked Iran- he says Iran had made concessions on UN nuclear inspections at the talks. Cuba lost all electrical power on Monday and Tuesday this week just as Trump bragged that he will take the country over. Christopher Sabatini, a senior fellow for Latin America at Chatham House, explains why the power grid failed and some of the effects which he calls a humanitarian crisis. Christopher talks about Trumps motivations for imposing a regime change, including possible tourism/casino development, not unlike his Gaza Strip plans. From CUBA- Cuba was off the air Monday and Tuesday but had the power up on Wednesday. Cuban President Miguel Diaz Canel denounced the repeated public threats made by the US, including plans to seize the country- through sanctions and now a fuel blockade. He says Cuba is open to working with American companies as well as Cubans residing in the US. A European Solidarity Convoy arrived in Cuba Wednesday night bringing 5 tons of medical supplies- the hundred members include Parliamentarians, activists, youth and trade union leaders- they will meet up with a convoy from Miami arriving by air, land and sea on Saturday. The Trump administration approved a $5 billion oil project in the Gulf of Mexico by BP, who created the 2010 deepwater horizon disaster.

Dan Roberts "There is very little places, virtually no places obviously in the corporate media apparatus that you can tell the truth to challenge corporate tyranny and this US imperialist narrative of constant regime change all around the world. It is a very dangerous and slippery slope that we are on and I just think it is time that we take a step back and actually fund the journalists that we want to see." --Abby Martin Dan Roberts Shortwave Report- www.outfarpress.com YouthSpeaksOut!- www.youthspeaksout.net
