Some have called it the 'frozen conflict'. A long-standing dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the region of Nagorno-Karabakh. But fighting that began on Saturday is threatening to destablise the region. At least 30 soldiers from both sides have been killed. It is the worst violence since a 1994 truce ended a war in which Armenian-backed forces seized the territory from Azerbaijan. The region of Nagorno-Karabakh is predominantly ethnic Armenian, and placed under Azerbaijan control in 1922 by then Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin. The Armenian population of this mountainous, landlocked enclave began a push for unification with Armenia. And as the Soviet Union broke up, a full scale war began in 1991. The Armenians took control of Nagorno-Karabak in 1994 - after the deaths of around 30-thousand people. So, what’s the impact of this renewed tension between Armenia and Azerbaijan?

Over the last few years Poland has gradually demolished Soviet World War II memorials. When Russia’s culture minister came to Poland to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust, he was rudely interrupted on TV, and the producer who apologized for his journalist was fired. Against this backdrop, an important date passed unnoticed: Poland was the first country to have signed a shameful non-aggression pact with Hitler, joining in the partition of Czechoslovakia that followed the Munich agreements.

✖ All music and images copyrights belong to original artists and distributors. La gazza ladra (Italian pronunciation: [la ˈɡaddza ˈlaːdra], The Thieving Magpie) is a melodramma or opera semiseria in two acts by Gioachino Rossini, with a libretto by Giovanni Gherardini based on La pie voleuse by Jean-Marie-Theodor Badouin d'Aubigny and Louis-Charles Caigniez. The composer Giaochino Rossini wrote quickly, and La gazza ladra was no exception. According to legend, before the first performance of the opera, the producer assured the composition of the overture by locking Rossini in a room, from the window of which the composer threw out the sheets of music to the copyists who then wrote the orchestral parts, to complete the composition of the opera. As such, The Thieving Magpie is best known for the overture, which is musically notable for its use of snare drums. The unique inspiration in the melodies is extreme, famously used to bizarre and dramatic effect in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. This memorable section in Rossini's overture invokes the image of the opera's main subject: a clever, devilishly thieving magpie.

Surprise guest speaker and JFK Assassination expert the late Jim Marrs joins Dr. Proctor on stage at 58:00. In the early 1980s, independent researcher Dr. Grover Proctor broke new ground on Oswald’s attempted call.

Syria is an energy war. With the heart of the matter featuring a vicious geopolitical competition between two proposed gas pipelines, it is the ultimate Pipelinestan war, the term I coined long ago for the 21st century imperial energy battlefields. It all started in 2009, when Qatar proposed to Damascus the construction of a pipeline from its own North Field – contiguous with the South Pars field, which belongs to Iran – traversing Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria all the way to Turkey, to supply the EU.

A Black Agenda Radio commentary by executive editor Glen Ford In debunking Donald Trump’s big lie about Jersey City Muslims celebrating the destruction of the World Trade Center, the corporate media have told an even bigger lie of omission. There was, indeed, shameless cheering on the banks of the Hudson River on 9/11. But it was by young Israelis, as was widely reported at the time. Fourteen years later, corporate media are covering up for Israel – which makes them even bigger liars than Trump.
