The Chinese government under Xi Jinping placed an estimated one million Uyghurs in concentration camps, subjecting them to forced labor and other horrific abuses. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has also destroyed or modified mosques all as part of a “sinicization” policy to assimilate by force or to eliminate perceived non-CCP influences and ethnic minority communities. U.S. government responses have included sanctions; legislation, such as the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act and the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act; and the determination that the CCP is committing “genocide against the predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang.”On this episode of the USCIRF Spotlight Podcast, Chair Vicky Hartzler speaks with Jewher Ilham, a Uyghur advocate, author, and filmmaker, and Adrian Zenz, Senior Fellow and Director in China Studies at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.

Addressing the media for the first time since defeating Sussan Ley in a Liberal partyroom ballot, Angus Taylor says "it's the greatest honour" of his life to be elected the new Opposition leader.  He's acknowledged Sussan Ley's "extraordinary" contribution to the Liberal Party and Australia, while pointing to the huge task ahead for his party.As a first priority, Mr Taylor has pledged to restore Australia's standard of living and protect our way of life.Sussan Ley has annouced she'll resign from parliament shortly and give Angus Taylor "clear air" in his new role.The leadership spill has ended her tenure as the first woman to lead the party at a federal level, after just nine months in the role.Her supporters argue some of her conservative team members did not give her a fair go — something Ms Ley says should be afforded to Mr Taylor.Organisers of Monday's pro-Palestine demonstration to oppose the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog in Sydney are welcoming an independent review into police's conduct.The New South Wales police watchdog has announced it's launching an inquiry into the actions of police and allegations of misconduct.The Palestine Action Group says the commission needs to conduct a 'transparent, thorough and timely' investigation - and are also calling on the Premier, the Police Minister, and the Police Commissioner to resign.

This episode of MakingChips is different from most conversations we have on the show, and it needed to be. In late 2025, the manufacturing community was shaken by the murder of Amber Czech, a welder who was killed by a coworker after reporting harassment multiple times. That tragedy forced many of us to confront an uncomfortable truth: workplace violence and harassment are not abstract issues. They are real, ongoing, and present in the trades today. In this episode, Paul Van Metre is joined by Nush Ahmed, CEO of Sisterhood of Trades, along with two national experts who work directly on workplace violence and gender justice. Jessica Stender of Equal Rights Advocates and Anna Van Balen of Futures Without Violence bring decades of experience working with employers, workers, and policymakers to help address harassment, escalation, and prevention in real workplaces. Together, we talk candidly about how harassment often becomes normalized in the trades, why underreporting is so common, and how unchecked behavior can escalate into violence. We also discuss what shop owners and leaders can do today, not just to comply with the law, but to build workplaces that are genuinely safe, respectful, and welcoming. This conversation is about responsibility. It's about leadership. And it's about recognizing that culture, policies, and daily behavior all play a role in preventing harm. For owners, managers, and anyone who cares about the future of manufacturing, this episode is a call to take workplace safety seriously, before another tragedy forces the issue.

"Shipping in 2026 is going to get darker." - Michelle Wiese Bockmann, Senior Maritime Intelligence Analyst, Windward  Right now, somewhere between 900 and 2,000 aging oil tankers are operating in the shadows. They are carrying sanctioned crude from Russia, Iran, and Venezuela. This so-called "shadow fleet" often sails under false flags, spoofs its locations, turns off monitoring systems, transfers their cargo at sea, and sometimes operates without insurance. These dangerous vessels are increasingly being boarded, seized, escorted into port, and tied up in court, but enforcement at sea is messy, expensive, and legally complex.  One company… GMS… thinks they have an answer. They believe they can scrap about 100 of these seized, sanctioned ships annually - if (and it is a big IF) they are given permission by the U.S. Treasury to acquire them. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner explores three interconnected questions: What is actually being done to get shadow fleet tankers off the water? What happens to the ships — and the oil, and the crew — after they are seized? And what are the second- and third-order effects for global shipping markets, risk, and supply chains?

Dr. Sunil Gupta spoke in detail about the growing link between obesity, diabetes, pregnancy-related risks, and modern lifestyle habits. He explained that obesity—particularly abdominal or visceral fat—is a major driver of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and other metabolic complications. Dr. Gupta expressed that Indians are especially vulnerable due to a tendency toward central obesity even at lower body weight, making early screening through BMI and waist circumference measurements essential. Dr. Gupta highlighted that unhealthy dietary patterns, physical inactivity, excessive screen time, and high consumption of fast food and sugary beverages are key contributors to the rising burden of diabetes among children, adolescents, and young adults. He stressed that gestational diabetes and poor glucose control during pregnancy significantly increase the lifetime risk of diabetes for both the mother and the child. Breastfeeding, regular physical activity, post-delivery weight management, and long-term follow-up were emphasized as important protective measures. Addressing common myths, Dr. Gupta clarified that diabetes is not caused by sugar alone but by sustained excess calorie intake, insulin resistance, and genetic predisposition. He also strongly warned against tobacco use in any form, stating that it accelerates diabetes-related complications such as heart disease, kidney failure, stroke, and limb-threatening gangrene. The session concluded with a clear preventive message—eat less, walk more, sleep well, and smile (to reduce stress) Expert- Dr Sunil Gupta Anchor- Bhavana Lokhande Podcast: 23/01/2026 Recorded at: Akashwani Nagpur Episode: 103

If we want to fix food, we have to fix the institutions shaping what our kids eat every day. Public schools are effectively the largest restaurant chain in America, serving 30 million children. For many of them, school meals account for half of their daily calories. And yet, a majority of those calories still come from ultra-processed food. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Nora LaTorre, CEO of Eat Real, to talk about why the school cafeteria may be the most powerful lever we have to reverse the childhood health crisis—and why change is already happening faster than most people think. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. Today we discuss: • Why school food policy affects your family • How removing added sugar from school menus can change focus, behavior, and long-term health • Why school lunch participation rises when districts upgrade to real food • How changing school procurement reshapes local farms and food systems • What you can do as a parent to influence your district In less than two years, Eat Real–partnered districts are proving that real food can scale across red states, blue states, rural communities, and major cities. When procurement changes, farms change, and when menus change, our children have a better chance to thrive.

Quantum security has gone from being a theoretical idea filed away for some unknown future date to an urgent requirement driven by quantum computing advances and government and industry guidance. The thought of nation-state adversaries with a quantum computer that can conduct harvest-now-decrypt later attacks and forge digital signatures makes the threat more real than ever to executives, who have started to ask security leaders, “Are we quantum safe?” With Q-day estimates now within 10 years and moving ever closer — and with NIST deprecating existing asymmetric algorithm support in 2030 (and disallowing it entirely by 2035), as well as the increasing nation-state threat — what should security leaders be doing now? Sandy Carielli, VP, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why technology leaders must work together to prepare for Q-Day. Addressing quantum security requirements is not just a job for the security team. Security, infrastructure, development, emerging tech, risk, and procurement have roles to play in executing a holistic quantum security strategy. Sandy will cover their report, which security leaders should use, to gain executive buy-in and build and execute a quantum security migration plan with stakeholders across the organization.

Quantum security has gone from being a theoretical idea filed away for some unknown future date to an urgent requirement driven by quantum computing advances and government and industry guidance. The thought of nation-state adversaries with a quantum computer that can conduct harvest-now-decrypt later attacks and forge digital signatures makes the threat more real than ever to executives, who have started to ask security leaders, "Are we quantum safe?" With Q-day estimates now within 10 years and moving ever closer — and with NIST deprecating existing asymmetric algorithm support in 2030 (and disallowing it entirely by 2035), as well as the increasing nation-state threat — what should security leaders be doing now? Sandy Carielli, VP, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why technology leaders must work together to prepare for Q-Day. Addressing quantum security requirements is not just a job for the security team. Security, infrastructure, development, emerging tech, risk, and procurement have roles to play in executing a holistic quantum security strategy. Sandy will cover their report, which security leaders should use, to gain executive buy-in and build and execute a quantum security migration plan with stakeholders across the organization.

A multitude of orphanages in the Global South continue to be supported by well-meaning Christians throughout the world. Research and scripture both indicate that God's design for children is to grow up in a family, but what do we do when it's the church that needs to be convinced of this? Brandon Stiver is joined today by Tony Lewry who shares his experience in orphan care and cross-cultural ministry over the years as we dive into what it looks like to change mindsets and practices in these global chains of care. Tony leads The Homecoming Project and coordinates across a coalition of organizations tackling the issue of children outside of parental care. In our conversation, Tony and Brandon discuss the evolution of family-based care, the challenges and successes of implementing foster care, and the vital role of the church in advocating for vulnerable children.  Support the Show Through Venmo - @canopyintl Subscribe to Our New YouTube Channel Resources and Links from the Show The Homecoming Project Online The Homecoming Project Instagram Conversation Notes (AI Generated) 03:00 Introduction to Tony Lewry and His Journey 05:56 The Evolution of Family-Based Care in Brazil 09:13 Challenges and Successes in Implementing Foster Care 11:57 The Role of the Church in Foster Care Advocacy 14:54 Reintegration and Community Support for Children 17:54 Navigating Reentry to the UK 20:52 The Homecoming Project: History and Vision 23:47 Collaborative Efforts in Care Reform 27:03 Addressing the Funding Dilemma in Child Care 30:05 Engaging with Orphanage Supporters 32:59 The Coalition Approach and Its Impact 36:11 Next Steps for the Homecoming Project 39:08 Final Thoughts and Recommendations Theme music Kirk Osamayo.

As cell and gene therapies continue to deliver promising clinical results, manufacturing remains one of the biggest barriers to broader commercialization. Persistent challenges around cost, complexity, labor intensity, and vein-to-vein timelines—particularly for autologous CAR-T therapies—are limiting the industry's ability to scale beyond niche and last-line indications. Addressing these constraints will be critical if CGTs are to move earlier in treatment paradigms and reach more patients globally. In this episode of Off Script, we spoke with Jon Ellis, CEO of Trenchant BioSystems, about the current state of cell and gene therapy manufacturing and where the industry must go next. The conversation explores why traditional centralized manufacturing models are struggling to scale, how automation and digital batch records can significantly compress manufacturing timelines, and how emerging platforms are rethinking cell recovery, analytics integration, and starting material strategies.

Motherhood can quietly shift the emotional balance in a partnership. In this conversation, we explore why resentment toward a partner is so common after having a baby and why it is not a personal failure, but a researched, predictable relationship stress point. The transition to parenthood often exposes invisible labor, unequal expectations, and emotional strain that many couples were never taught how to name, let alone fix. We also talk about practical starting points for repairing connection. From making invisible labor visible, to changing how conflict is communicated, this episode focuses on teamwork, fairness, and ongoing conversations that prevent resentment from hardening into distance. The goal is not perfection or 50-50 equality, but shared understanding and intentional partnership. What we discussed: Why resentment often grows after becoming parents The emotional and physical load many mothers carry Research showing relationship dissatisfaction in the first year postpartum How partnership dynamics affect postpartum mental health The concept of making invisible labor visible Dividing responsibilities in a way that feels agreed upon, not forced Why equality is not always 50-50, but fairness still matters Separating the partner from the problem Communicating needs without blame or accusation How suppressed resentment turns into bitterness The value of weekly relationship check-ins Addressing partners who resist conversations about workload Explaining impact instead of arguing details How shared labor improves emotional and physical intimacy Why connection is built through everyday support, not grand gestures Want more?

There is a particular kind of frustration that comes from knowing yourself well enough to recognize a pattern, and still feeling unable to stop it. You understand what you are doing. You may even understand why. And yet the behavior keeps showing up anyway. In this conversation, I'm sitting down with licensed marriage and family therapist and mental health educator Kati Morton to talk about why habits that no longer serve us can be so hard to change. Not because we lack insight or discipline, but because many of these patterns began as emotional coping habits. At one point, they helped us feel safer, more connected, or more in control. Over time, they quietly turned into ways we stay stuck. We explore how early relationship experiences shape perfectionism and control patterns, why self-sabotaging behaviors make sense once you understand the nervous system's role in survival, and how shame keeps habits locked in place rather than motivating change. Kati shares why willpower is rarely the solution, and what compassionate habit change actually looks like when you stop trying to override yourself and start listening instead. We also talk about what happens when these patterns show up inside relationships, how to raise concerns without controlling or shaming your partner, and why understanding the function of a habit matters far more than trying to eliminate it. This episode is about breaking habits that keep you stuck by learning how to meet the underlying need in a healthier, more sustainable way. As you listen, I invite you to reflect on this question: What has this behavior been doing for me, and what might become possible if I approached myself with more curiosity and less judgment? Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why willpower is not enough to change habits 03:49 How early relationship blueprints shape behavior 08:51 Perfectionism, people pleasing, and self-abandonment 12:25 Conditional love and control patterns 18:06 Nervous system regulation and survival responses 24:04 Emotional coping habits outside of relationships 31:03 Why shame reinforces habits 37:54 Addressing the root instead of cutting off symptoms 44:27 Supporting change in relationships without control 50:53 More from Kati Morton If this episode brought clarity to patterns you have been struggling with, and you would like support as you work toward change that actually lasts, I want to extend a personal invitation. You can schedule a free consultation with me or a member of my team. This is a private, secure space where you will answer three quick questions so we can help match you with the right counselor or coach for what you are navigating right now. Think of it as a thoughtful starting place, not a commitment.

In this conversation, Christa sits down with Kendall Mariah, author of the brand-new book This Little Fire of Mine: How Flickers of Doubt Can Spark a Bolder, Brighter Faith, to explore what happens when you stop performing faith and start living it authentically, especially in marriage. Kendall Mariah, 3, an adoptive mom, Army wife, and founder of Unapologetic Ministry, invites us to embrace holy discomfort, lean into doubt, and ask the hard questions we've been told to avoid. In this episode, they discuss how doubt can lead to discernment, why good friction is healthy in relationships, how to navigate different faith journeys with your spouse, and what it means to pursue an integrated life where your words and actions reflect the full truth of Scripture, not just on Sundays, but in your actual day-to-day marriage. Kendall says her book is about finding "a deeper, truer version of your soul," and Christa believes that when you find that truer version of yourself, you also find a truer version of your marriage. If you've ever felt the disconnect between your beliefs and your lived experiences, or if you're navigating faith questions alongside your spouse, this conversation will give you permission to embrace the journey and discover a bolder, brighter faith together as we work on deepening attachment all month long here on the pod!

    Today I sit with my dear friend Gillian Windsor for an unprepared, unfiltered conversation about what is moving through us right now … as women, as a nation, and as a collective standing at a threshold.    This episode is not polished or neutral.    It may get political.    It may stir grief and rage.    If you are not willing to look directly at what is happening in our world, or just not able in this moment, you may want to skip this one.    What began as a moment of frustration for me opened into something much deeper. Together, Gillian and I gave voice to the grief so many women are carrying silently and created space for truth to be spoken without softening, censoring, or performing goodness.    We cannot evolve without telling the truth.    And we cannot heal what we refuse to name.    In this conversation, we bring light to:  The urgent need for connection … with ourselves and with one another  The state of political and authoritarian forces in the U.S.  Why women recognize these patterns so viscerally, having lived them in our own lives  How oppression is dismissed until it becomes visible through male bodies  The grief and rage beneath the surface: safety, identity, autonomy, and belonging  Why breaking the Good Girl Code is a collective initiation for women now  A crucial next step: owning what is yours without carrying what belongs to others    To close, Gillian offers a channeled message for the collective from Source using her Ascendant Woman Wisdom Card Deck, https://theascendantwoman.lpages.co/ascendant-woman-wisdom-cards-v2/ a transmission of remembrance, strength, and fierce feminine clarity.    This episode is a witnessing.    You can connect with Gillian Windsor at gillian@gillianwindsor.com and subscribe to her soul transmissions here: https://www.youtube.com/@soulfiretransmissions     Subscribe now so you'll never miss an episode and leave us a review!

We delve into the stark realities of learning inequality, the crucial role of the science of teaching, and the transformative power of education, even in the face of conflict. Dr. Asyia Kazmi, CEO of WISE (World Innovation Summit for Education), an organization that is part of the Qatar Foundation, helps us explore the challenges and solutions in global education. As a former math teacher, Dr. Kazmi offers specific, evidence-based strategies for improving learning outcomes — including the concept of structured pedagogy — and discusses the nuances of AI and education, urging caution and the need for region-specific, full-stack solutions.
