    Radioactive Russian Drones - A Conversation with Vitaly Shevchenko

    Vitaly Shevchenko of BBC Monitoring joins Natia Seskuria to explore the implications of a radiation warning found on a downed Russian drone. In April 2026, Ukrainian air defences shot down a modified Russian Geran-2 strike drone near Chernihiv, and investigators found a radiation warning label on the warhead, recording gamma readings far above natural background levels. Within hours the story spread internationally, often described as Russia deploying radioactive weapons or a dirty bomb. Ukrainian investigators say the drone was carrying an R-60 air-to-air missile fitted with a depleted uranium fragmentation element, a modification Russia appears to be using to threaten Ukrainian aircraft intercepting the drones. The SBU has since documented further cases and opened a war crimes investigation. This episode looks at the weapon itself, how claims like this are verified, and what the incident reveals about information warfare and media monitoring in a fast-moving conflict. It also explores: What Ukrainian investigators found in the drone wreckage, and what the modification reveals about Russian production and stockpiles. How BBC Monitoring verifies claims of this kind, and what separates an established finding from an allegation. How radiation has featured in Russia-Ukraine information warfare since the 2022 'dirty bomb' claims. The social and cultural resonance of radiation stories in Ukraine and Russia. What responsible media monitoring looks like in an environment of overload and disinformation. Vitaly Shevchenko is Russia Editor at BBC Monitoring, where he has spent more than a decade analysing Russian and Ukrainian media. BBC Monitoring is a specialist service within the BBC World Service, delivering trusted analysis of open-source media around the world

    Quarterly catch up: ETS Review, Buyers Coalition, and current VCM Dynamics

    In this quarterly catch up, Eve Tamme and Sebastian Manhart swap the guest chair for each other and look back at three busy months in carbon removal policy, with a few disagreements along the way. They start with the EU ETS review and the joint statement from Europe's five CDR associations, which Sebastian helped coordinate. He shares some of the background scoop on where the associations lined up and where they didn't, from biochar and the link to the Carbon Removal Certification Framework to whether international credits belong in the ETS at all. Eve draws on her experience of the last time international credits entered the system, and Sebastian previews his first academic paper on what a credible international credit portfolio might actually cost. Then comes the bigger question: is Europe putting all its eggs in the BioCCS basket, or is it six baskets? Sebastian worries that newer and potentially cheaper approaches are being left behind, while Eve makes the case for backing the projects that can deliver at scale now, and pushes back on the idea that all of Europe's CO2 is heading to the North Sea. They close with a reality check on the EU buyers coalition, where the usual optimist and sceptic swap roles, slow progress on durable removals under Article 6.4, and why the headlines out of New York Climate Week may not tell the whole story for carbon removal finance.

    Ambassador Dan Kritenbrink on US-China Summits and Strategy

    In this episode of Pekingology, Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Ambassador Daniel Kritenbrink, former Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam, and Senior Director for Asian Affairs at the National Security Council, to discuss U.S.-China diplomacy and the upcoming meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Drawing on decades of experience engaging with senior Chinese officials, including Xi Jinping, Kritenbrink reflects on Xi’s leadership style and China’s increasingly confident approach to the United States and the international system. He discusses the role of leader-level diplomacy in managing U.S.-China competition, lessons he learned from preparing for Xi’s 2015 state visit to Washington, and what effective communication between Washington and Beijing looks like behind closed doors. They also examine what to expect from the Trump-Xi summit, the prospects for maintaining what Kritenbrink describes as a “fragile truce” between the two countries, and the economic, technological, and security issues that will continue to test U.S.-China relations.

  • The Minister Betting Big on Biochar - with Minister Chi-ming Peng

    The Minister Betting Big on Biochar - with Minister Chi-ming Peng

    In this episode of The Carbon Removal Scoop, Eve Tamme and Sebastian Manhart sit down with Chi-ming Peng, Taiwan's Minister of Environment, shortly after he set a target that put Taiwan on the carbon removal map: one million tons of biochar carbon removal by 2030. A meteorologist and entrepreneur before he entered government, Minister Peng explains where the target came from, starting with a simple question to his team about who was responsible for biochar, and the discovery that nobody had yet submitted a carbon credit methodology for it. The pressure behind the target is hard to miss. Taiwan sits at the centre of the global AI supply chain, and its semiconductor giants will need carbon credits at a scale that expensive engineered removals cannot yet supply. With a carbon fee already in place and an emissions trading system on the way, Minister Peng makes the case that biochar is the pathway Taiwan can move on now, and explains why he is looking so closely at Europe's CRCF, the Buyers' Club and the EU ETS. Eve and Sebastian press him on the hard parts. Where will the feedstock come from, given five million tons of agricultural waste a year that mostly heads to incinerators? Why is importing more such a tough sell, with public resistance and the Basel Convention in the way? And how does a country that cannot attend COP as a party still plan to trade carbon credits under Article 6.2, with Paraguay first in line? They close on the next six to twelve months: the machines, the money, and the methodology still to be locked down before Taiwan's number can move from ambition to actual credits. Whether biochar becomes part of Taiwan's answer to a semiconductor industry's carbon problem, or another target that outruns the paperwork, is the question worth watching from here.

    Inside the Fight to Save $600 Million for DAC - with Vikrum Aiyer

    In this episode of The CDR Policy Scoop, Sebastian Manhart sits down solo with Vikrum Aiyer, Head of Global Energy and Policy and Climate Policy and External Affairs at Heirloom, to trace the last eighteen months of US carbon removal policy. It starts with a survival story: Heirloom and partner Climeworks were awarded roughly 600 million dollars for a Louisiana direct air capture hub under the bipartisan infrastructure law, funding that looked shaky the moment the Trump administration began reviewing Biden era spending. Vikrum explains how a coalition of economic development groups, workforce organizations, and elected officials kept the project alive by leading with jobs, exports, and energy security rather than climate targets. The conversation turns to 45Q, the tax credit that pays up to 180 dollars per ton for durable removal. Vikrum details how a shift in EPA greenhouse gas reporting policy left the credit's verification framework in a temporary gap, with a Treasury safe harbor expiring and a new reporting structure still being negotiated alongside the Carbon Capture Coalition and industry peers. He credits the One Big Beautiful Bill Act with not just protecting 45Q but expanding its reach across more carbon management pathways. Sebastian and Vikrum close on California, where the state's cap and trade extension folded in an 85 million dollar annual pot for decarbonization technologies, including CDR, and wrote CDR integration into statute for the first time. Vikrum lays out the live debate over whether emitters should invest directly in removal project capex or whether those dollars should flow to communities instead, and argues the market needs both credit purchases and direct investment to hit the scale carbon removal requires.
