🇵🇱 Poland Episodes

When John Hersey went to Hiroshima, he was a 30-year-old reporter. Did he suspect that the text he was writing for The New Yorker would be hailed as the most important report of the 20th century, and that Albert Einstein would run from kiosk to kiosk to collect as many copies of this now-historic issue as possible? When Hersey was writing his report, Americans knew about the two atomic bombs that fell on two Japanese cities – first Hiroshima, then Nagasaki. There was a lot of talk about the triumph of American science, about how the attack on Japan helped end World War II. But nothing was said about the people who were victims of this event. The Hiroshima report made not only Americans, but also readers around the world, aware of the previously unimaginable scale of destruction and human suffering caused by the use of atomic weapons. He told the story of six city residents who survived - a story that is still relevant today.

Dziesiątki osób giną codziennie w Gazie, głównie podczas prób dotarcia do punktów rozdziału żywności. Międzynarodowe organizacje humanitarne mówią o coraz bardziej dotkliwym głodzie, którego ofiarą w Strefie padło już co najmniej 154 Palestyńczyków, głównie dzieci. Francja, Wielka Brytania i Kanada zapowiedziały uznanie państwa palestyńskiego na najbliższej sesji ONZ we wrześniu, a kilka innych krajów rozważa podobny ruch. Amerykański wysłannik Steve Witkoff był w Izraelu i Gazie, trwają również negocjacje między Izraelem a Hamasem z udziałem Amerykanów i Katarczyków, ale na razie nie ma w nich przełomu. Czy świat jest w stanie wpłynąć na rząd Netanjahu, wspierany przez prezydenta Trumpa? Czy uznanie państwa palestyńskiego przez kolejne kraje może przyczynić się do jego powstania? I jak sami Izraelczycy odbierają krytykę spływającą na ich kraj za działania w Gazie? Administracja amerykańska ogłosiła listę ponad dziewięćdziesięciu krajów objętych taryfami na produkty sprzedawane do USA. Lista odzwierciedla wyniki negocjacji i umów zawartych przez prezydenta Trumpa z niektórymi krajami i z Unią Europejską. Czy polityka celna Trumpa przynosi realne efekty Ameryce i jak wpłynie ona na światowy handel? Po pięciu dniach krwawych starć na granicy Kambodży i Tajlandii w tym rejonie panuje rozejm. Co było przyczyną konfliktu, w którym zginęło ponad czterdzieści osób, i kto może pomóc w jego rozwiązaniu? W Demokratycznej Republice Konga trwa napięcie po ustanowieniu w Waszyngtonie rozejmu między siłami rządowymi a wspieranymi przez Rwandę partyzantami z grupy M23. Dlaczego na wschodzie kraju ciągle trwa wojna i co w tym konflikcie robią Amerykanie i Katarczycy? A także: reklama dźwignią lecznictwa i polityki.

In the next episode of "Off-Cucumber Season," we will invite you to the forest again. You could say: to an ordinary forest. Like many in Poland. It will not be the Białowieża Forest or the Bieszczady Mountains, none of the national parks; it will not be a forest where we would find species of plants, fungi or animals not found elsewhere. What's more: it will be a forest located in the middle of the most densely populated area in our country – about 4 million people live within a hundred kilometers of it. Some time ago, a highway also cut through it – 50,000 cars pass by it every day… We will go for a walk with an old, pre-war map of these areas. Because the passage of time will be its main theme. Why could Poland one day turn into a steppe? Why might the pine disappear from our forests? We will convert the height of a tree into years — in short: we will treat this forest like a palimpsest. We will try to read what time has erased, and sometimes, man himself. Starring: Mateusz Kulpa, forester from the Tenczynek forest district; Mateusz Sztremer, deputy forest manager in the Krzeszowice Forest District --------------------------------------------- Report on the State of the World is a program that exists thanks to our Patrons, join the collection ➡️ ⁠https://patronite.pl/DariuszRosiak⁠ Subscribe to the Report on the State of the World newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠➡️ ⁠https://dariuszrosiak.substack.com⁠ Report shirts and mugs ➡️ ⁠https://patronite-sklep.pl/kolekcja/raport-o-stanie-swiata/⁠ [Self-promotion]

W Ukraine odbyły się największe od początku wojny demonstracje przeciw władzy. Na ulicach Kijowa i innych miast tysiące ludzi sprzeciwiało się decyzji o oddaniu nadzoru nad Narodowym Biurem Antykorupcyjnym w ręce kontrolowanego politycznie prokuratora generalnego. Protestowała też UE. Pod presją ulicy i głosów z frontu Wołodymyr Zełenski ostatecznie wycofał się ze zmian. Dlaczego walka z korupcją tak mocno jednoczy Ukraińców, w tym pokolenie 20-latków? Czy to wciąż państwo skorumpowane? I dlaczego Zełenski tak zaryzykował w stosunkach z Zachodem i swoimi rodakami? Japonia dogaduje się z Donaldem Trumpem i oddala ryzyko wojny handlowej z USA. Ale w polityce ważniejsze okazują się: dobry wynik w wyborach skrajnej partii Sanseito oraz ceny ryżu. Co się stało z „japońskim snem”? W „Raporcie” jesteśmy na Spitsbergenie, czyli zachwycająco pięknej wyspie, na której jak w soczewce skupiają się kryzysy: klimatyczny i geopolityczny. Jaki świat widać z Arktyki? Z jednej strony nieżyjący finansista i przestępca seksualny. Z drugiej – prezydent USA. A z trzeciej – teoria spiskowa, którą Trump kiedyś promował, a teraz za to płaci. Czy tzw. sprawa Epsteina zagraża ruchowi MAGA? W Szwajcarii kończą się mistrzostwa Europy w piłce nożnej kobiet. Jednak uprzedzenia wobec tej dyscypliny mają się dobrze. Dlaczego niektórym trudno jest pogodzić się z tym, że kobiety grają w piłkę? W tym wydaniu w ogóle dużo o sporcie – będzie też o przywódcach-wyczynowcach i atletach-politykach… Rozkład jazdy:  (03:12) Paweł Reszka: Czemu Ukraińcy wyszli na ulice?

Today, in the off-cucumber season, a topic associated with summer, although – as you will soon find out – it is relevant in all weather. We will talk about fires, especially forest fires. And about extinguishing forest fires. Our guest introduces himself on his website as follows: "The forest is fuel for me. Where you see a forest, I see a flammable material, a key element of the physicochemical combustion reaction that is a forest fire." Is this a peculiar approach to the beauty of nature, or a realistic assessment of the threat that a forest can be? Not every boy becomes a firefighter, even though many dream of it – although this is not the case with our guest. How to fulfill dreams? I will also ask my interlocutor about this.

Britain shocked by data leak endangering thousands of Afghans assisting British army before Taliban takeover. First, a document with classified information leaked. Subsequently, fearing for lives, a court silenced media, government quietly launched Afghan relocation. Only last Tuesday was media ban lifted, Britons learned of matter. How did leak occur? What does it say about British services? What impact might it have on current politics in Isles? Australian PM warmly welcomed in Chengdu, Beijing, Shanghai, Donald Trump approved Nvidia's advanced semiconductor exports to China. Has West's cold war with China entered détente? Israel conducted airstrikes on Syrian bases, government buildings, including Damascus. Is Syria its next target after victory in war with Iran? Can fragile peace in that country still be saved? 40 years after Live Aid concerts in London, Philadelphia, musicians increasingly make political declarations. Can charity, politics, art be practiced from same stage? There are two Spains. Sunny, smiling, tourist-facing – and one not shown to guests.

What does it mean to be a man today? Thousands of orphans of the crumbling patriarchy lament, longing for the times when a man went hunting, and a woman, barefoot in the kitchen, waited for him with dinner, feeding successive litters of offspring at the same time. But times have changed. Today, men do not know whether to hunt and provide, or rather listen carefully to the needs of women and other weaker social groups, which they exploited for millennia as knights of the patriarchy. Or maybe you have to do both at once? But wait, wait - is today's thirty-year-old guilty of centuries of patriarchal violence? Maybe he is its victim. Why does he so often feel lost, insecure, confused? Or maybe it has nothing to do with the patriarchy at all? In this episode of the off-season, we talk about the crisis of masculinity. Guest: Paweł Droździak

Why did Italians once despise their pizza? And why did the greatest Italian patriots feast on French cuisine? Why did Mussolini want to ban pasta? And when did the moment come when all Italians could finally eat as much beloved pasta as they wanted? Food is not only a delight for the palate, but also a key to understanding history, politics, customs and culture. In this episode, a conversation about John Dickie's book "Delizia. The Epic History of the Italians and Their Food." A perfect read for vacation and beyond. Host: Agata Kasprolewicz Guest: Natalia Mętrak-Ruda Book: "Delizia.

In Gaza, a drama unfolds for two million Palestinians. Israel's defense minister confirms a plan to relocate the entire population south to a so-called "humanitarian city" to be built on the ruins of Rafah. Is this a solution or "operational preparations for crimes against humanity," as a prominent Israeli lawyer stated? Will Doha talks soon lead to a ceasefire? And does Hamas truly govern Palestinians in Gaza today? Russia launches massive attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. European leaders pledge aid not only for defense but also for reconstruction. President Trump sharply criticizes Putin—is he losing patience? A new Pilecki Institute report reveals the scale of Russian crimes against Ukrainian children. Is documenting Russian crimes in Ukraine part of Poland's raison d'état?

In the second episode of "Off-Season," we talk about what all people in the world have in common—music. Our hero today was born in Damascus, where he received his musical education. He became a performer and composer, and when the civil war was already underway, he came to Poland. In Krakow, he created a choir of non-professionals, which "after hours" is a group of good friends. And when Bashar al-Assad's regime fell in Syria, he visited Damascus, his hometown, for the first time in over a decade. We talk about the sounds of Syria, whether Poles can sing, and music that can connect very different people.

In this holiday episode of "Book Report", we visited the 7 Sides of the World Festival in Łowicz Wałecki, and there, among the West Pomeranian lakes and forests, we talked about whether reading is a form of perfect travel - because it is unrestricted by any limitations: neither time nor space. Is literature an antidote to information overload? How to choose readings to better understand the increasingly chaotic world we live in? And finally - can literature be found - or should it be? - outside of books? The guests are experts on three regions of the Global South: South Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Poland introduces border controls with Germany and Lithuania. Prime Minister Tusk explains that the reason is Germany's refusal to admit migrants. Do statistics confirm any significant changes in migrant movement at Poland's borders? What is the source of the increased rhetoric against migrants in Germany — is it accompanied by a change in policy? How do border controls affect the stability of the Schengen area? And what will the EU's migration policy look like after Denmark takes over the community's presidency? In Serbia, violent clashes between police and demonstrators in another installment of anti-government protests that have been ongoing since November. Will the demonstrators overthrow Aleksandar Vučić's government? Srebrenica commemorates the 8,000 Bosnian Muslims murdered thirty years ago by Serbs. What does this greatest act of genocide committed in Europe after World War II teach us, and what does it not teach us? Heatwave in Europe, and record frosts in South America. What is the relationship between extremely high and low temperatures and global warming? How do tech giants dominate our lives — and why did we let them?

We start the off-season with a meeting with an outstanding director whose latest film ostensibly tells about the 20th century through the history of trains. But it is not a film about technology, about overcoming space, or about fascinating journeys and views behind the glass. It is a film about man in the 20th century — a great metaphor for human fate, told in the form of a film symphony, composed of archival materials, moving music and reconstructed sounds. The film we will talk about today is a great affirmation of artistic freedom, and the message that flows from it is not pleasant and optimistic, but extremely moving. And we will talk not only about "Trains" - but also about other films of our guest, because there is a lot to talk about. *---------------------------------------------* Report on the State of the World is a program that exists thanks to our Patrons, join the collection ➡️ ⁠https://patronite.pl/DariuszRosiak⁠ Subscribe to the Report on the State of the World newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠➡️ ⁠https://dariuszrosiak.substack.com⁠ Report shirts and mugs ➡️ ⁠https://patronite-sklep.pl/kolekcja/raport-o-stanie-swiata/⁠ [Self-promotion]

In this episode, Kuba Wojewódzki and Piotr Kędzierski talk to Marcin Kowalczyk – an actor who gained huge recognition for his role as Magik in the film You Are God, and yet still emphasizes that he is still not seeking the limelight. We talk about sensitivity in the profession, the price paid for truth on the screen, and what acting education looks like in Poland, and what it looks like… in his version. As he says about himself: he doesn't let anyone pull the wool over his eyes, but apart from that - working with him is poetry. When did he feel like a real actor? Which of his films does he consider his opus magnum so far? Why did he have javelin lessons? What was his path to Hollywood like and why did he take offense at a certain elegant lady during it? Marcin Kowalczyk also talks about his dream of playing Czesław Niemen, recalls what he heard from Fokus when he played the role of Magik, and explains what acting is to him.

„If the therapy process is an attempt to discover something about yourself, then writing is undoubtedly therapy," says Graeme Macrae Burnet, guest of this episode of Report on Books. His novel "Case Study" is the story of a patient and a psychiatrist. Except that the patient is not who she claims to be, and she does not come to therapy to solve her life problems, but to uncover the secret of her sister's suicide. The psychiatrist is also cheating. And all this happens in London in the 1960s – a city pulsating with the desire for freedom, art, fashion and new ideas. - Can you escape who you were and become a new person? - Or are we forever bound to our original "self"? - Who defines madness? - Are mental illnesses unchanging medical phenomena, or fluid social constructs? These are some of the most important questions that the Scottish writer poses in his novel.

At NATO summit in The Hague, member states pledged to increase defense spending to 5 percent of GDP by 2035. The summit's final declaration reaffirms commitment to Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, stating an attack on one NATO member is an attack on the entire Alliance. What does this mean? The declaration mentions the threat from Russia and reaffirms Alliance support for Ukraine. How to assess the summit's results, overshadowed by Donald Trump's declared success of US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities? What future awaits the Alliance, and does the concept of collective defense under American leadership still make sense? In Armenia, a sharp dispute continues between the prime minister and the head of the Armenian Apostolic Church – an institution that has been a symbol of the nation and a carrier of its traditions for centuries. What is this conflict about, and why could it have a concrete impact on the country's future?

What role do people who protect it play in this war? In Saudi Arabia, one of the world's most spectacular museums will soon open.

Since Tuesday, a truce has held between Israel and Iran. After the American bombing of Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday and the Iranian attack on an American base in Qatar, President Trump called on both sides to cease operations. Following Tuesday's exchange of fire and Trump's intervention, in which he accused both sides of violating the truce – especially openly criticizing Israel – both sides have refrained from resuming attacks until this morning. President Trump announced the end of the 12-day war and stated that Iran would never rebuild its nuclear program. However, according to Pentagon sources quoted by American media, the strike did not destroy the Iranian program – at most, it delayed it by several months. In Israel, pressure is mounting on Prime Minister Netanyahu to reach an agreement with Hamas and secure the release of the remaining hostages. In Iran, authorities are tightening surveillance of political opponents after the spectacular failure of the services in connection with the Israeli attack two weeks ago. Will the regime in Iran survive? Is the country's nuclear program completely destroyed – as Trump and Netanyahu claim – or is the country able to continue enriching uranium? President Trump emerges from this confrontation strengthened – how will he use it in the Middle East and in relations with allies? Guest: Jerzy Haszczyński

Rozmawiamy z prof. Radosławem Markowskim – politologiem, komentatorem sceny politycznej i bezlitosnym demaskatorem mitów o demokracji. Czy politycy słuchają obywateli, a może od początku wiadomo, że manipulują swoim elektoratem? Dlaczego niektórzy kandydaci przegrywają, mimo że „dobrze się prezentują”? Co poszło nie tak w sztabie Trzaskowskiego, a co zadziałało na korzyść Nawrockiego? W ostrym, błyskotliwym stylu prof. Markowski mówi wprost: „Teorię Wojewódzkiego trzeba zweryfikować”. Czym jest ta teoria? Właśnie w tym odcinku wygłosił ją Kuba. Padają mocne słowa o elektoracie konkretnych partii, potencjale Mentzena, porażkach Hołowni i poziomie debaty publicznej. Na czym polega simplicyzm, czym jest antropocen i dlaczego rolnik bywa bogatszy od profesora? Szczera, inteligentna i bardzo pouczająca rozmowa. Serdecznie polecamy.

Elif Shafak - one of the most important writers of her generation, the most widely read author of Turkish origin - is the protagonist of this episode of Report on Books. For several years she has lived in Great Britain, and it was there, in the heart of Kensington Gardens in London, that we talked about her new novel entitled "There are Rivers in the Sky". It is a story intertwining the fates of three characters, two rivers (one is the Thames, the other the Tigris) and an ancient poem, the Epic of Gilgamesh. All these elements are connected by one tiny drop of water - says Elif Shafak and reveals that the idea for the novel began with the question: "Can you see the universe in a drop of water?" The famous British-Turkish novelist will talk about why she decided to write in English, who the ancient Mesopotamian goddess - patron of writers - Nisaba was, what it feels like to stand in front of a thousands-year-old lamassu statue, and how rebellion and empathy underlie literature.

Prezydent Trump zapowiedział, że w ciągu dwóch tygodni podejmie decyzję w sprawie ewentualnego włączenia sił amerykańskich do bezpośrednich ataków na Iran. Wcześniej minister obrony Izraela uznał, że duchowemu przywódcy Iranu, ajatollahowi Chameneiemu, „nie można już dłużej pozwolić na istnienie”. Obie strony w dalszym ciągu ostrzeliwują się nawzajem. Czy deklaracja Trumpa zapowiada realne negocjacje i wstrzymanie konfliktu, czy też jest grą na czas, prowadzoną przez prezydenta pod presją swojego otoczenia? Czy Europa może odegrać znaczącą rolę w tym starciu? Jak konflikt z Iranem wpływa na wojnę w Gazie, a także na wojnę w Ukrainie? Jakie skutki dla Rosji mają ataki Izraela na Iran?
