ChromeRadioCHANGEMAKERS 01 | E Windemuth, WaterBear NetworkWelcome to CHANGEMAKERS with Catriona Oliphant, a new podcast series brought to you by CHROMERADIO in collaboration with the MONTHLY BAROMETER.
CHANGEMAKERS was inspired by a series of conversations I had this autumn at the MONTHLY BAROMETER’s SUMMIT OF MINDS in Chamonix. What struck me was how many people were involved in exciting ventures for bringing about positive change in different aspects of our lives – in our relationship with the environment, with our fellow human beings, and in our quality of life. CHANGEMAKERS bringing rays of hope to these dark times. In this series, they tell us about their visi...

On 22 June 2022, eastern Afghanistan was hit by the deadliest earthquake in two decades. Already in the grips of a deepening humanitarian crisis, the country is now struggling – with the help of international agencies - to provide disaster relief to the region. But the Afghan economy is verging on collapse as a result of sanctions and the freezing of the country’s overseas assets following the Taliban takeover last August. Compounding this is the Tali...

ChromeRadio#StandingWithUkraine | 01 Welcome to BerlinWelcome to #STANDINGwithUKRAINE, a new podcast series from CHROMERADIO, with me Catriona Oliphant. Today, we are in BERLIN.
On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. By the time I arrived in Berlin in late March, waves of refugees from Ukraine had been flooding into the city for some time. They found a warm welcome. Berliners had mobilised themselves to stand firmly with Ukraine. The blue and yellow of the Ukrainian flag was everywhere – flying from buildings in the glorious sunshine beneath the blue Berlin sky, on hoardings, and in shop windows.
Berlin’s Central Station – the Hauptbahnhof – is at the heart of the city...

Last week in Afghanistan, girls of secondary school age were getting ready to return to the classroom for the first time since the Taliban took over last August. But within hours of arriving at school, they were told to go back home. The Taliban had abruptly changed its mind – at least for now. It’s not yet clear why. Officially, the Taliban has said that a decision still needs to be made on the appropriate uniform for fe...

US foreign policy is now focused mainly on China and the threat in the Asia Pacific. European allies of NATO will need to decide where their own interests lie. A...

It is now four months since Kabul fell to the Taliban. The fighting and the suicide bombings have diminished. But hunger now stalks the country. With jobs disappearing and salaries going unpaid, Afghans are struggling to feed their families.

September 2021 marked the 20th anniversary of 9/11 when Al-Qaeda suicide bombers flew hijacked planes into the World Trade Center in New York. In response the Bush administration announced a War on Terror. This was to be the beginning of a 20-year engagement by the US and NATO in Afghanistan.
