A weekly 30 minute review of news and opinion, recorded from a

Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (July 27) is up at the website
http://www.outfarpress.com/outfarpress/shortwave.shtml in both broadcast
quality (13.3MB) and quickdownload or streaming form (4.9MB) (28:59)
This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Radio
Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
>From CHINA- American corporation Westinghouse signed contracts to build
4 third-generation nuclear powerplants in China and transfer core
technology. China has urged that the interests of developing nations be
addressed at the Doha trade talks in Geneva. Foreign ministers of Egypt
and Jordan are in Israel representing the Arab League in talks on an Arab
peace initiative. Geo Bush has condemned critics who claim Al-Qaeda
operation in Iraq is distinct from those who attacked the World Trade
Center.
>From NETHERLANDS- The continuing rains in England have flooded vast
areas causing thousands to be evacuated. A press review on the floods,
covering research that claims that the excessive rains are a direct
consequence of global warming. While the rains are flooding in N Europe,
heat waves are killing many and creating havoc in Hungary and elsewhere.
By the way, 40 degrees Celsius equals 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
>From CUBA- Colombia has agreed to stop the aerial application of
herbicides to kill coca plantations along the border with Ecuador. A
Viewpoint on Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega's accusation that the US
has launched a campaign of destabilization in his country. Australia is being
courted by the US and others to become the major nuclear waste dump for
the planet.
>From RUSSIA- 2000 tons of radioactive water leaked into a hole beneath
the earthquake damaged nuclear power plant in Japan. A commentary on
the announced delay in assessing the effectiveness of the so-called "troop
surge" in Iraq. Arguments have heated up over Russia's refusal to extradite
citizens accused by Britain of involvement in the death of a Russian spy.
There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line
at- 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.
This program will be aired on Friday afternoon at 4:30pm (PST) on KZYX/Z
Philo CA, you might be able to stream via
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 and Saturday at 11am(PST)

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)
