From JAPAN- The government of Japan is trying to negotiate the release of 2 Japanese nationals held hostage by the Islamic State militant group. Japanese nuclear regulators have approved a plan to release waste water from Fukushima into the Pacific ocean. There were protests in Iran over the newest issue of Charlie Hebdo. The New York Times reported that the US has been spying on N Korean computer network since 2010 when it installed malware into their systems. Two updates on fighting in eastern Ukraine, with President Poroshenko insisting that Russia has sent thousands of troops across the border, which Russia disputes. Oxfam released a report on economic inequality.

From SPAIN- The report released by Oxfam on Monday showed that economic and social inequality continue to rise at an alarming rate. By 2016 half of the world's wealth will be owned by 1 percent of the population.

From CUBA- Cuba insists that they be removed from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism. Amnesty International called on European nations to admit their involvement in US CIA torture operations. An Israeli helicopter gunship attacked a convoy in Syria killing 12 including an Iranian general. US targeted assassinations by drones continue in Afghanistan.

From GERMANY- Foreign ministers met in Berlin in an attempt to defuse the fighting in eastern Ukraine. There were protests in Niger and Chechnya following the newest Charlie Hebdo issue. German police banned this past Monday's Pegida anti-Islam protest in Dresden because of death threats to a movement leader.

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.

TIME SLOT on KZYX! This program will be aired on Sunday afternoon at 4pm (PST) on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via http://www.kzyx.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! (maybe a little)
