This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, NHK Japan, and Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr24083 0.mp3 (29:00) From GERMANY- From the DW Business desk, Kate Ferguson presents the topic of increased spending on nuclear weapons.

In the US lobbyists spent over $17 million promoting nuclear weapons to politicians. When the US extended its nuclear umbrella to South Korea, the North had no arsenal but may have up to 50 warheads now. NATO has 4200 warheads, most of them American, and this years US presidential election could change its stability. And speaking of the US election subject, the role of money in this years campaigns is huge. $4 billion was spent in 2020 and that will be surpassed this year. After some statistics are presented, Professor Ray La Raja from the University of Massachusetts discusses how the money is further polarizing the nation. He compares the European model of public campaign financing to the American system. From JAPAN- Japan reported a Chinese military aircraft drifted into Japanese territory for the first time. The US and Indonesia began military drills with 20 other nations participating or observing. Ukrainian president Zelensky said he has a peace plan with Russia to be presented to Biden next month.

From GERMANY- As the ceasefire talks continue, so does the daily bombing in Gaza. An interview with an Egyptian journalist, Karim Al-Gawhary, about the talks. He says that the sticking points are Israel insisting on a continued military presence in Gaza, and continuing the war in the future. Palestine is opposed to these demands. Moves to tax the world's extremely wealthy have taken hold in several countries, like Spain, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark- Their ultra-rich have not moved elsewhere, according to the Tax Justice Network.

With reports from Germany and Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr2408016.mp3 (29:00) From GERMANY- In September of 2022, the Nord Stream 2 pipeline was blown up. Intended to deliver an increased supply of natural gas from Russia to Germany under the Baltic Sea. This was 7 months into the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It created an energy crisis in Europe, global petroleum prices soared, and the US launched a massive delivery system of LNG by ship to Germany. The US blamed the explosions on Russia, others said the US was behind the sabotage, and last year US officials said a pro-Ukrainian group was likely the culprit. Germany has issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian with a Polish address. This story is breaking as I produce this show. Last weekend Israeli forces bombed the 20th school in Palestine in the last month- this one killed scores of civilians and has been condemned by governments and organizations across the globe- a spokesperson from the organization Save The Children reports on the deadliest attack on a school since October.

The US will send an additional $3.5 billion to Israel for US made weapons. The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights monitor found no evidence of a military presence at the latest school massacre in Palestine. The Palestine Ministry of Health says nearly 500 medical workers have been killed in the Gaza Strip, 310 medical workers have been arrested, and 130 ambulances have been destroyed.

Dan Roberts "Music gives me a sense of self-sufficiency and nourishment. I don't need anyone or anything. I bathe in it as in amniotic fluid; it surrounds and protects me. It's also stable, ever-available and something I can control - that is, I can reach for it whenever I want. I can also choose music that reflects my mood, or if I want, helps to soothe it ...music- seeking offers excitement and tension that I can immediately resolve and a reward I can immediately attain- unlike other tensions in my life and other desired rewards. Music is a source of beauty and meaning outside myself that I can claim as my own without exploring how, in my life, I keep from directly experiencing those qualities.
