This week's show features stories from China Radio International, the Voice of Russia, NHK World Radio Japan, Radio Deutsche-Welle, and Radio Havana Cuba.
From CHINA- China has enacted a new income tax law which greatly reduces the number of of citizens required to file. The Chinese government says that stabilizing consumer prices remains the top priority. China has an aircraft carrier, making it the last of the UN Permanent Security members to possess one. The Chinese government is trying to work out compensation for damages caused by the huge Conoco Philips oil spill in a north China bay. There are conflicting stories from two of the sons of Muammar Gaddafi.
From RUSSIA- With the war on Libya apparently winding down, it is easy for NATO to feel triumphant. However many analysts differ on the success of the operation to oust Gaddafi.
From JAPAN- A Libyan rebel leader says that about 50,000 people have been killed in the fighting since March. Then another section from the series on renewable energy sources that NHK ran 2 weeks ago. This one is on marine energy, including wave and tidal research in Europe.
From GERMANY-- The German government has decided not to restart the 8 nuclear power plants shut down after Fukushima. Turkey and Israel are facing a showdown over last year's killing of 9 Turkish citizens on the flotilla to break the Israeli economic blockade on the Gaza Strip.
From CUBA- The Wikileaks website came under attack Tuesday after releasing thousands of diplomatic cables. The Afghan government intentionally impeded peace talks between the US and the Taliban. The Pentagon's use of no-bid contracts has tripled in the past 10 years. The African Union Chief has accused Libyan rebels of treating all black Africans as mercenaries for Gaddafi- one third of Libya's population is black. The Socialist Party of Venezuela has called for unity, warning that some dissidents are calling for foreign intervention, like what has occurred in Libya.

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.
NEW TIME SLOT on KZYX! This program will be aired on Sunday afternoon at 4pm (PDST) on KZYX/Z Philo CA, you might be able to stream via
