A manatee is spotted struggling, one of his flippers tangled in fishing line. When passersby notice him in distress, they don't hesitate. They carefully work to free him, cutting through old, deeply embedded line. In an emotional moment, the manatee is finally freed and swims off safely.

This heartwarming manatee rescue is a powerful reminder of how fishing line and ocean debris can silently harm marine life for years — and how a little courage and kindness can make all the difference. 🐋❤️

نسبت کارزار اقتصادی آمریکا با مبارزات مردم ایران را باید بر اساس یک اصل بنیادین سنجید: هر تحول بین‌المللی که جمهوری اسلامی و ساختار سرکوب آن را تضعیف کند، به نفع مردم است.
بر همین اساس،مردمِ خواهان سرنگونی از افزایش فشارها و توافق نکردن ترامپ با جمهوری اسلامی استقبال می‌کنند و خواهان تاثیر عملی این کارزار در سرنگونی سریع‌تر جمهوری اسلامی هستند.

David Hookstead talks about CIA director John Ratcliffe taking a secret trip to Russia to meet with Kremlin officials as fears of war explode. Is a war with Russia imminent? A joint Russia-Chinese facility was also bombed.

Ukraine and Great Britain are building a defense partnership that could reshape modern warfare. Greg Terry joins Alex from Ukraine to examine Britain’s planned access to Ukraine’s Avenger AI Labs, a battlefield database containing roughly five million images of tanks, artillery, drones, and other military assets.

They also discuss British cooperation involving technology and classified component information connected to SCALP and Storm Shadow cruise missiles. The significance extends far beyond individual weapons: Ukraine’s battlefield experience, technological innovation, and rapidly expanding defense partnerships are changing how Europe prepares for future conflicts.

Greg and Alex reflect on Ukraine’s Independence Day, the Budapest Memorandum, the Kremlin’s furious reaction to British support, and Russia’s partnerships with North Korea and Iran. They also confront the difficult questions ahead—from manpower and mobilization to deep strikes, Russian infrastructure, and the possibility of a longer war.

President Trump’s new sanctions campaign against Iran could have consequences far beyond Tehran. China buys roughly 80 percent of Iran’s oil—and cutting Beijing off from that supply could put enormous new pressure on an already struggling Chinese economy while sending global energy prices sharply higher.

Mike Baker speaks with Joshua Philipp, senior investigative reporter at The Epoch Times and host of The Josh Philipp Show, about China’s dependence on sanctioned Iranian oil, Beijing’s mounting economic vulnerabilities and why Trump’s pressure campaign could force Xi Jinping into a difficult choice.

در این قسمت از برنامه، مجتبا پورمحسن در گزارش روزش، به حمله سپاه پاسداران به امارات در واکنش به دو برنامه ترامپ برای شکست جمهوری اسلامی با کمک امارات می‌پردازد و علی صدرزاده، تحلیل‌گر مسائل خاورمیانه، از همکاری آمریکا و امارات علیه تهران می‌گوید.

شعری معروف، منسوب به فردوسی بزرگ، هست که در وصف میهن‌دوستی ایرانیان می‌گوید:

«چو ایران نباشد تن من مباد
بر این بوم و بر زنده یک تن مباد»

اما آن چیزی که مقامات جمهوری اسلامی دارند به آن عمل می‌کنند، ۱۸۰ درجه خلاف این شعر است. در واقع، به جای «چو ایران نباشد تن من مباد»، این‌ها معتقدند:

«چو ما نباشیم، ایران هم مباد»

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

- Iran is reportedly considering expanding its war with the United States into Europe, potentially targeting American military assets in Bulgaria and Cyprus while also threatening critical undersea communications cables.

- One of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s longtime former allies demands wartime elections as corruption investigations reach Ukraine’s political establishment and intensify pressure on the Ukrainian leader.

This is a comprehensive front-line tour of Ukraine with Professor Gerdes, moving from Odesa and Kherson through Zaporizhzhia, the Pokrovsk sector, the Donbas fortress belt, Kupyansk, Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, and the wider strategic picture.

We examine where Ukraine has pushed Russian forces back, why the fight around Kostiantynivka and the fortress belt remains so important, and why Russia’s effort to reach critical supply routes near Dobropillia could shape the next phase of the battle. We also look at the growing danger from FPV drones, glide bombs, ballistic missiles, attacks on bridges, and the systematic destruction facing communities near the front.

Then we zoom out. Russia is increasing pressure on Ukrainian infrastructure and key crossings along the Dnipro while Ukraine continues striking Russian logistics, fuel trucks, bridges, and rear-area infrastructure. We also discuss worsening fuel problems in southern Russia, reconnaissance drone activity over western Ukraine, and the growing Russia-Iran supply connection through the Caspian Sea.

This is the battlefield as it stands on August 19, 2026—not just who controls another village, but the roads, bridges, cities, logistics corridors, infrastructure, and strategic pressure points that could determine what comes next.

While we wait, Iran is still lashing out

So we’ve got a new strategy with Iran: no more talks, just wait them out.
Iran meanwhile is taking a different approach threatening to go on the offensive if the blockade isn’t lifted soon with one analyst saying “There is also a widespread view in Iran that the main war has not yet begun.”
