info&uid=904&nav=&)
This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Radio
Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
From CHINA- China, Japan, and South Korea are establishing a multi-
billion dollar emergency fund to help out Asian nations in the financial
crisis.
The H1N1 virus continues to spread, though the sense of panic suddenly
diminished. China instituted emergency measures, including transporting
quarantined Mexicans home. China like many nations banned imports of
pork products from flu hit areas in Mexico and the US. The Prime Minister of
Nepal resigned after he dismissed the army chief for refusing to integrate
former rebels into the army. Outrage at the US military followed Red Cross
reports of dozens of civilian deaths in Afghanistan. Europe's high
unemployment rate could lead to a social crisis according to the President of
Luxembourg. NATO has begun controversial military exercises in Georgia
following a brief mutiny.
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 lett...@rnw.nl or send them a letter to
Radio Netherlands Worldwide, PO Box 222, 1200JG, Hilversum, The
Netherlands.
The NATO military exercises in Georgia are considered a provocation by
Russia in light of the war last year in South Ossetia. Hawks in the US
government are raising fear that the Taliban will seize nuclear weapons in
Pakistan and calling for direct US intervention. In an era of imbedded
reporting and government controlled media, the role of bloggers and citizens
with cell phone cameras in exposing oppressive governments has become
crucial.
From CUBA- A UN inquiry has blamed Israel for attacks on UN facilities in
Gaza during the invasion last January, in the final days of the Bush
administration. China is rapidly increasing its role in the development of
Latin
American petroleum resources.
From RUSSIA- Russia believes that the purpose of the NATO military
exercises in Georgia is to stimulate another war in the region. Condoleezza
Rice raised much controversy by her statements about torture last week. As
the US and Russia negotiate the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty, other
nations with serious nuclear arsenals are not at the discussion.
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!
