2 months ago | telemundofresno.com | Cristina Gonzalez

Carteles que dicen "no hay huevos" o "limitado a un cartón" llenan los supermercados de todo el país.

Si tuviste la suerte de haber comprado varias docenas y te preguntas cómo conservar los huevos más allá de su fecha de caducidad, la solución es sencilla: congélalos.
¿Un asteroide se estrellará contra la Tierra? El nivel de riesgo aumenta al máximo jamás registrado

2 months ago | telemundoareadelabahia.com | Cristina Gonzalez

La idea de que una roca espacial "destructora de ciudades", cuyo tamaño refleja el de un campo de fútbol americano, pudiera impactar contra la Tierra en cualquier momento parece algo sacado de una película del fin de mundo que ya has visto demasiadas veces. Pero existe una pequeña, aunque inquietante, probabilidad de que un asteroide choque contra nuestro planeta, y antes de lo que pensamos.

Listen on Spotify Apple Music Amazon Music Volodymyr Zelensky has just four months. That’s the time left until U.S. President Joe Biden leaves office. After that, who knows what’s going to happen. And that means uncomfortable questions for the EU, too. This week’s edition of EU Confidential tracks the Ukrainian president’s recent journey to the U.S. We start off in Kyiv, where POLITICO’s Veronika Melkozerova recounts meeting Zelensky as he gave reporters a sneak peek of his “Victory Plan.”...

Sep 25, 2024 | politico.eu | Anne Mcelvoy |Peter Snowdon |Cristina Gonzalez

Listen on Spotify Apple Music Amazon Music Taking on the presidency of the G7 next year, Canada should be in prime position to shape transatlantic relations alongside its dominant neighbor — regardless of who moves in to the White House. But does Justin Trudeau have what it takes to deliver? Host Anne McElvoy talks to the Number 2 in Trudeau’s government, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, about whether plummeting poll numbers and heavy by-election defeats suggest...

Listen on Spotify Apple Music Amazon Music Live from Strasbourg… and Paris… and Berlin… and London, it’s EU Confidential. In this week’s episode, we catch you up on a dizzying week of news.

Meet JD Vance’s surprising European support network

Sep 18, 2024 | politico.eu | Anne Mcelvoy |Peter Snowdon |Cristina Gonzalez

Listen on Spotify Apple Music Amazon Music From Hillbilly Elegy to vice-presidential candidate, JD Vance has come far since his hardscrabble roots in Ohio to shape the Trump doctrine for the millennial generation. He’s also gained notoriety for upping the temperature of America’s heated political discourse. But there’s also a philosophical side to Vance, shaped by a network of advisers and supporters on the other side of the Atlantic. Host Anne McElvoy talks to two friends who have watched...
Does Europe’s economy need Mountain Dew?

Sep 12, 2024 | politico.eu | Sarah Wheaton |Cristina Gonzalez |Dionisios Sturis

Listen on Spotify Apple Music Amazon Music While Brussels has been obsessed recently with the “Draghi report,” that’s NOT the topic of this week’s episode. We will, however, discuss WHY Brussels is so besotted. (Spoiler alert: It’s because Europe’s economy is broken.) Host Sarah Wheaton talks to POLITICO’s Carlo Martuscelli and Carsten Brzeski, global head of macro at ING Think, about why the EU is falling so far behind big competitors like the U.S. and China; as well as about the political...

Starmer’s wasted opportunity to influence Netanyahu on Gaza

Sep 4, 2024 | politico.eu | Anne Mcelvoy |Peter Snowdon |Cristina Gonzalez

Listen on Spotify Apple Music Amazon Music Ehud Olmert, the prime minister of Israel between 2006 and 2009, believes Britain’s suspension of some of its arms exports is a “mistake” that won’t affect the country’s military campaign in Gaza and may prove a wasted opportunity for PM Keir Starmer to influence events in Gaza. Talking to host Anne McElvoy, Olmert criticizes Britain’s decision and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s conduct of the war. They also discuss whether the race for the White...
Anne Applebaum on dictators big and small

Aug 29, 2024 | politico.eu | Sarah Wheaton |Cristina Gonzalez |Dionisios Sturis

Listen on Spotify Apple Music Amazon Music In this episode of EU Confidential, we speak to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Anne Applebaum.
