Lytt til sikkerhetspolitisk dypdykk med Christian Borch i samtale med Visiting Professor ved King's College London, Professor Emeritus ved University of Oxford og Kina-ekspert Stein Ringen. Kina har de seneste årene vært sentral i den norske og internasjonale utenriks- og sikkerhetspolitiske debatten. Kinas mer fremoverlente utenrikspolitikk, forholdet til USA, EU og Russland, samt det ambisiøse «Belt and Road Initiative», blir hyppig diskutert. I tillegg er kinesiske teknologiselskaper i økende grad synlige og etablerte på det europeiske markedet. Huawei har den seneste tiden vært midtpunkt i en omfattende debatt om hvorvidt selskapet kan stoles på.

I årets første Sikkerhetspolitiske dypdykk møter vi forsvarsminister Frank Bakke-Jensen og professor Olav Lysne (som ledet Lysne II-utvalget om digitalt grenseforsvar). Christian Borch (journalist, forfatter og tidligere nyhetsanker i NRK) skal lede oss gjennom en interessant samtale om Norsk grenseforsvar. En ny lov for Etterretningstjenesten er på høring i disse dager. I høringsutkastet åpnes det for tilrettelagt innhenting, også kjent som «digitalt grenseforsvar». Tilrettelagt innhenting vil gi Etterretningstjenesten mulighet til å innhente grenseoverskridende elektronisk kommunikasjon som passerer Norges grenser. Er tilrettelagt innhenting en utfordring eller en styrke for demokratiet? Er det mulig å finne en balanse mellom individets rett til privatliv og samfunnets behov for sikkerhet? Kanskje du finner noen av svarene i denne podcasten.

Chernobyl - NEVER AGAIN. Er navnet på fotoboken til Knut Henrik Andersen, som ble lansert på Nobels Fredssenter. I forbindelse med lanseringen holdt han en artist-talk som her er tilgjengelig som podcast. Siden katastrofen i Tsjernobyl rammet så hardt den dagen i april 1986 har Knut Henrik vært nysgjerrig på hva som skjedde med menneskene. Som fotograf har han vært inne i den strengt regulerte sonen rundt Tsjernobyl atomkraftverk i perioder over to år. Hensikten med reisene var å forstå katastrofens fysiske og menneskelige omfang ved å fotografere i Tsjernobyl og den forlatte byen Pripiat. Prosjektets ide er knyttet til katastrofen sett fra et perspektiv 30 år etter at menneskene, på et øyeblikkelig ble frarøvet sine hjem og sin tilhørighet. Hvilke konsekvenser ulykken fikk for et helt samfunn, både voksne og barn. Hvordan ser ut i den tidligere sovjet mønsterbyen Pripiat. En utopi som brast. Som en direkte følge av hendelsene, i moderne tid, i Tsjernobyl og Fukushima kan konsekvensene av radioaktivt nedfa
