This week's show features stories from NHK World Radio Japan, China Radio International, Radio Havana Cuba, Spanish National Radio, and Radio Deutsche-Welle. From JAPAN- The last nuclear reactor in western Japan has been shut down for inspection- the 2 remaining nuclear reactors will be shut down by late April. More than 40% of the citizens in the regions near the Fukushima plant were exposed to radiation beyond the annual safety limit. Media was allowed to be near the Fukushima reactors for the first time this week. Cement is being laid atop the seabed offshore of the Fukushima power plant to stop the radioactive materials from spreading at sea. The US says it may begin arming anti-government demonstrators in Syria. From CHINA- China is urging the Syrian government and rebels to cease all violence against civilians, and disagrees with the idea of other countries arming opposition forces. China says that the veto of the UN resolution against Syria was not a result of partiality, but of considering what is best for the Syrian people. The mayor of Nagoya Japan denies that the Rape of Nanking occurred in 1937, angering the Chinese people. The Chinese firm Great Wall Motors is to begin having their autos assembled in Bulgaria. China wants Israel to accept the reconciliation between the Palestinian factions of Fatah and Hamas. From CUBA- An Israeli human rights organization is criticizing Israel's increased imprisonment without charge or trial of Palestinians. There are claims of a media campaign targeting Venezuela and especially President Hugo Chavez and his health. From SPAIN- Last Sunday in Spain up to one-half million people protested against reforms to the labor market and cuts to social programs. This week saw student in Valencia, who were protesting education cuts, being beaten by riot squads. From GERMANY- An analysis of the latest Greek bailout- can Greece ever repay its growing debts, and can it stay in the Eurozone? There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line - http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-shortwaves
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 < http://www.kzyx.org > There are several other streams that work better- < http://www.freakradio.org >Freak Radio Santa Cruz now streams this program on Friday at 9:00am.(PDST) NEWLY CORRECTED!!! The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from < feed://radio.indymedia.org/en/podcast?keys=shortwave++
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!
