This hour of the Global Research News Hour we showcase recent developments in and around Russia and try to determine if this major power is being put on the defensive as things heat up. WE first speak with journalist John Helmer about the apparent poisoning of Alexei Navalny and whether it is the Russians or the Germans who have some explaining to do. Next, we are joined by Belgrade academic Stevan Gijic who takes on the possible coloured revolution in Belarus and the significance of increasing NATO activities in the Russian Region.

Phil notes that Phyllis Coard, leader of the New Jewel Movement in Grenada, an island in the West Indies, where the U.S. overthrew a socialist government in 1983, has died in Jamaica at the age of 76. Before she died, Coard authored a book called "Unchained, A Caribbean Woman's Journey Through Invasion, Incarceration & Liberation, available at "A Different Booklist" cultural centre in Toronto.

Phil Taylor discusses the illegal rendition of Paul Rusesabagina, known to the world as the real life manager of the "Hotel Rwanda," from Dubai to Kigali. Listeners to the Taylor Report will know that the Rwandan government has a history of disappearing and killing its opposition. The behavior in Rusesabagina's case is particularly brazen and could not have occurred without the connivance of other states. Paul is a Belgian citizen. Will the Belgians do their duty and demand his release?

Major media outlets are promoting a dubious story about Myanmar soldiers "confessing" to war crimes. Although video evidence shows that the soldiers made statements under questioning by a rebel army fighting Myanmar's government, statements under these conditions are not credible. But the press downplayed the context of the statements, with the Toronto Star editing out the reference to the rebel army, in a story reprinted from the NY Times. According to the NYT, the alleged confession was made to the Arakan Army, a rebel militia in Myanmar. The Arakan Army, in turn, turned over the video of the "confession" to a Harvard fellow, who represents a group called Fortify Rights. The two soldiers were then transferred to Bangladesh, a country that does not have friendly relations with Myanmar. It also isn't clear how the two soldiers were sent to the ICC in the Hague, where they have not yet seen lawyers or representatives of the government of Myanmar. Phil argues that it is reprehensible that the Dutch government has removed these two soldiers illegally from their country and that Bob Rae, Canada's ambassador to the UN, regards the statements made under duress from captured soldiers as a "confession" of malfeasance by the Myanmar government.

Radio Curious revisits a two part conversation with Professor Peter D. Ward, author of “The Flooded Earth: Our Future in a World Without Ice Caps,” in which he describes expected conditions in 2050, 2300 and 2500. In this edition of Radio Curious, the first of a two part series on global warming and sea level rise, we visit with Peter D. Ward, a paleontologist and professor of biology and earth and space sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle. He is the author of “The Flooded Earth: Our Future in a World Without Ice Caps,” in which he describes expected conditions in 2050, 2300 and 2500. The interview with Professor Peter D. Ward, was recorded on August 2, 2010, from his office in Seattle, Washington. The first interview begins with a description of what will happen when the level of the sea rises. The books Peter Ward recommends are: “An Inconvenient Truth,” by Al Gore and “Weather Makers,” by Tim Flannery and any book by Tim Flannery.

An original radio theatre show each week, with most sounds culled from the previous week, about a fictional, theatrical presidency. Contradictions tell the story, with songs, skits, and clips from political news shows and late-night comedy routines. The definition of "radio theatre" is stretched here, with an updated Dickie Goodman and/or Richard Foreman-meets-mashup style sometimes, and a more straightforward take other weeks. Currently airing on 30 or 40 stations around the world, the network has ordered another five months of episodes. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.
