This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Radio
Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
From CHINA- MacDonalds is opening up 175 new outlets and creating
10,000 jobs in China this year. Northern China is continuing to experience a
severe drought. The new US Secretary of Energy has warned that the Sierra
Mountains in California could lose 90 percent of its snowpack due to global
warming. Britain is covered in record-breaking snowfall. The World
Economic Forum concluded in Davos, with few representatives from the
banking industry in attendance. Leaders of Hamas in Palestine say that they
will accept a one year truce with Israel. The Egyptian President lashed out at
Hamas for not being willing to make a compromise with Israel. Palestinian
President Abbas reasserted his charge that Israel is guilty of war crimes in
the latest attacks on the Gaza Strip.
From NETHERLANDS- Radio Netherlands has eliminated shortwave
broadcasts to North America. The decision is based on their surveys that
find very few listeners in N America. If you ever listen to RN on shortwave,
please let them know- by email to [email protected] or send them a letter to
Radio Netherlands Worldwide, PO Box 222, 1200JG, Hilversum, The
Netherlands.
One of the effects of the Israeli attacks on Gaza is the destruction of 60
percent of its farmland, setting up serious food shortages for the coming
year. A press review on the Dutch government´s inquiry into their support of
the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. Militants in the Pakistani portion of the
Khyber Pass have cut off a supply route for the NATO troops occupying
Afghanistan. An American organization thinks that the Netherlands should
be made a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize for its policy on drugs.
From CUBA- Israel has placed severe restrictions on the Al-Jazeera
network because of their recent coverage of the Gaza massacre. The
Obama White House has decided not to end the practice of Extraordinary
Rendition. Many legal and human rights activists in Europe are demanding
that George Bush be charged with crimes against humanity.
From RUSSIA- The head of the IAEA, Mohamed ElBaradei, says that
direct dialogue between the US and Iran will lead to a normalization of
relations in the Middle East.
There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line
at-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.
This program will be aired on Friday afternoon at 4:30pm (PDST) on KZYX/Z
Philo CA, you might be able to stream via < http://www.kzyx.org >
There are several other streams that work better- <
http://www.freakradio.org >Freak Radio Santa Cruz now streams this
program on Friday at 9:00am.(PDST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from <
feed://www.radio4all.net/responder.php/podcast/podcast.xml?series=outFar
press+presents > or iTunes (search for "shortwave" in podcasts)
Check out the amazing streams at < http://www.radicalradio.org >
And Radio For Peace International at < http://www.rfpi.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!
