Sikhi is the religion of the underdog. And no Sikh in history embodied this more completely than Sultan ul Qaum Jathedar Jassa Singh Alhuwalia.Born fatherless into poverty during one of the darkest periods of Sikh history, Jassa Singh rose from feeding horses for the Budha Dal to being selected Panth Patshah by the Sarbat Khalsa. He conquered Lahore, sat on the Mughal throne in Delhi, fought Ahmad Shah Durrani face to face multiple times, and rebuilt the Darbar Sahib.This episode draws on Dr. Ganda Singh's definitive biography and primary Sikh, Afghan and Persian sources to tell the true story of Alhuwalia. Including the untold political intrigue of Jai Singh Kanihyaa's manipulation of the Misl system, the real story behind the Alhuwalia and Ramgarhia conflict, and what Jassa Singh's final political vision for Punjab actually was.As historian Hari Ram Gupta wrote, in the person of Jassa Singh Alhuwalia, the Guru actually made a sparrow kill hawks.This is the Sikh leader they forgot. This is The Sikh Renaissance.

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Saturday 18 October at Church House and the Abbey Centre, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION After Labour's election last year, the new defence secretary, John Healey, wrote a memo to Cabinet colleagues in relation to the scandalous Afghan data leak and the subsequent cover-up of relocations. Healey stressed the need to ‘maintain control of the narrative', particularly in the wake of that summer's riots. The riots themselves were arguably fuelled by suppression of information about the Southport murderer, in an attempt to contain public reactions. The desire to control the narrative by curtailing public information has implications for the media's idealised role of telling ‘truth to power'.  Beyond super-injunctions, governments seem preoccupied with muting the widespread availability of counter-narratives on social media. Countries across Europe are introducing measures such as the UK's Online Safety Act or the EU's Digital Services Act, which are partly designed to deal with threats to the establishment narrative via suppressing what has been dubbed ‘misinformation'.  This mirrors governments' pressure on online and offline media during the Lockdown period to suppress any challenges to official, ‘consensus' health advice. However, the media stands accused of having taken it upon itself to have become more partisan in its reporting of our rapidly changing political landscape – championing a single, biased point of view, with little insight or empathy into what is driving new, popular concerns. Two recent events in America – the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the brutal stabbing of a young Ukrainian woman, Iryna Zarutska on the subway – have catalysed this sense that the mainstream media is more concerned with shaping narratives rather than reporting on them. In the case of Kirk, reaction from the mainstream media seemed to focus less on the appalling nature of the political violence or why he was so popular with millions of young people, than in communicating that Kirk was a ‘MAGA troll'.  With Zarutska, whose murder by a black repeat felon was captured on CCTV, the media ignored the story for 18 days, despite its dominance on social media. Eventually, the New York Times reported only how the case had ‘ignited a firestorm on the right', a culture-war framing echoed widely in the mainstream. In the UK, media narrative-shaping is a familiar accusation on everything from the coverage of the unexpectedly large ‘Unite the Kingdom' march to the Southport riots. Populist anger has for some time focused on the supposed bias, arrogance and aloof nature of what is dismissed as the ‘MSM'. There is fury at the way protests and movements are often described as ‘far', ‘hard', ‘extreme' or ‘ultra' right – with media outlets almost running out of adjectives to communicate the idea that these movements are thinly disguised racists. No wonder journalists have been shunned or abused when they turn up to report on events. Trust is declining. All this touches on an older debate: does the media shape or reflect reality? Anti-populist commentators regularly accuse media outlets of amplifying populist talking points, contributing to moral panics about the small boats or ‘whipping up' hate about asylum hotels. Nigel Farage's frequent appearances on BBC Question Time are seen as a key explanation for Reform's credibility, indeed for the size of the 2016 Brexit vote. Has the role of the media changed, or have different outlets always be partisan? What drives governments to control the narrative for public consumption? Is mainstream media ill-equipped to deal with the pace of political change or has it abandoned even the ideal of impartiality? Can anyone, new or old media, credibly claim to merely report events rather than try to shape them?

Bonnie Tyler, went from a Welsh council house to topping the international charts with songs like: ”Lost In France”, “Holding out for a Hero” and “Total Eclipse of the Heart”. Born Gaynor Hopkins in South Wales she grew up in a passionately religious family, which is where young Gaynor's first experience of performing came – singing “All Things Bright and Beautiful” at her local chapel. Fellow Welsh musician and broadcaster Mal Pope tells Matthew about her life. Dissident Hong Kong bookseller Lam Wing-kee was arrested and held for more than four hundred days by the Chinese authorities. They were investigating the publications sold at his Causeway Bay Bookstore, some of which were critical of the Communist regime on the mainland. He became a symbol of freedom of speech after he revealed his incarceration at a news conference. The journalist and author Emily Feng interviewed him. In 1988 Colonel Abdul Ahad Momand became the first, and so far only, Afghan citizen to travel into space. He was part of the three-person crew that launched from Kazakhstan on board the Soviet Soyuz TM-6 spacecraft. During the trip, Colonel Momand, who was a Muslim, became the first person to read from the Koran on TV while in orbit. General Khyan Zadran was a friend and colleague of Colonel Momand.TV and radio director Kay Patrick was best known for her work on Coronation Street, where she oversaw 250 episodes in 20 years. During that time, she steered some of the show's most memorable storylines including the death of Hayley Cropper, played by Julie Hesmondhalgh - Julie remembers her sensitive and talented director.Presenter: Matthew Bannister Producer: Ben Mitchell Assistant Producer: Catherine Powell Researcher: Jesse EdwardsArchive: BBC One, Top of the Pops, 24/02/1983; BBC Two, On Show, 30/03/2005; BBC World Service, Witness, 22/06/2026; YouTube, Hong Kong Free Press, 21/06/2016; ITV Studios, Coronation Street, Episode 8305, 20/01/2014; Dr Who: Toby Hadoke's Time Travels, 18/09/2023; BBC Four, The Spaceman of Afghanistan, 13/10/2014

Enola Holmes 3 dropped on Netflix on July 1, 2026, and it is the first film in the franchise that neither of us actually enjoyed. Director Philip Barantini reportedly pitched it as the Prisoner of Azkaban of the series, the entry where the tone grows up alongside the characters. Enola is getting married. Sherlock has been kidnapped. There is stolen Afghan gold buried inside a story about British rule in Malta. On paper, this should be the best Enola Holmes movie. On screen, she winks at the camera while she is being drowned. Enola Holmes 3 Review: The Netflix Threequel Nobody Was Ready to Dislike Enola Holmes 3 arrived on Netflix on July 1, 2026, four years after Enola Holmes 2, and it is the first film in the series we both came away cold on. Director Philip Barantini took over from Harry Bradbeer and pitched a darker entry, the Prisoner of Azkaban of the franchise. The wink Enola delivers mid-drowning suggests otherwise. Everyone except Sharon Duncan-Brewster seems to be floating through the film. Her Moriarty reads as over the top only because nobody else is playing at her level. The set, the costumes, and Malta itself are lovely. The film uses its locations far better than it uses its plot. Nancy Springer's Enola Holmes Books vs. Netflix's Original Scripts The Enola Holmes Mysteries by Nancy Springer runs ten books, starting with The Case of the Missing Marquess. Only the first film adapts a book. Films two and three are original scripts built on Springer's characters, with the author uninvolved. Springer's Enola is fourteen, a "perditorian" (finder of lost things), and a genuinely clever spin on Arthur Conan Doyle's canon. Colonialism, Stolen Gold, and Commentary That Never Lands The mystery turns on British officers stealing Afghan gold and hiding it in Malta, tied to Tewkesbury's late father and the Empire's occupation of the island. Moriarty raises real, sharp points about who Britain took from and why. The film states them, then moves on to the next scene. Compare Enola Holmes 2, where the match girls' strike of 1888 was woven straight into the mystery. Here the wedding plot and the mystery plot barely touch. Female Empowerment With No Actual Power Enola is asked to choose between being a lady and being a detective, which is the most interesting question in the film and gets the least room. Eudoria Holmes has nothing to do and remains a fugitive. Her companion Edith is right there, and the film will not go anywhere near it. Sherlock and Watson get the same treatment. The tea, the closeness, the careful framing, and then nothing. Commit or don't. The Verdict, the Scores, and Enola Holmes 4 Strengths: costumes, sets, Malta, and the comfort of recurring characters. Weaknesses: tone, plot holes, and a mystery you forget while watching it. Audiences and critics both landed lower than either previous film, the franchise's first entry to miss Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Netflix has not confirmed a fourth film. Millie Bobby Brown says she is in if Netflix and Louis Partridge are in.

Mark Wales joined the military as a wide-eyed 17-year-old recruit, and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually leading one of Australia's most elite special forces troops in some of the most dangerous combat environments on earth. He saw the war in Afghanistan evolve from targeted counter-terrorism into something far more complicated, and ultimately, far less certain. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Mark opens up about what it takes to earn a place in the SAS, the psychological toll of repeated deployments, and how he watched the Afghan war slowly lose its sense of purpose from the inside. Mark speaks candidly about kill lists, mission creep, the counterinsurgency strategies that were doomed before they started, and the moment he knew the war was effectively over… long before the politicians admitted it. Gary and Mark also tackle the recent war crimes allegations, the complex environment that shaped those events, the chain of command responsibility that rarely gets discussed, and why, no matter how it unfolds, almost nobody comes out of this saga looking good.

S-Ketamine is now part of the TCCC pharmacopeia; you'd better understand how to use it. Dennis sits down with Pat — a veteran military anesthetist, former Danish Special Operations medical leader, and decades-long ketamine expert — for a deep dive into S-Ketamine. From its development and real-world use in austere environments (including Afghan war wounded and British Field Hospital MERT ops) to practical dosing, side effect management, and why it outperforms morphine in many trauma scenarios, this conversation delivers battle-tested wisdom for medics, PAs, nurses, and SOF operators.Pat shares hands-on lessons from hospital, military, and austere settings: achieving the "thousand-yard stare," managing emergence phenomena, combining with regional anesthesia, IM/IN/rectal routes, and why ketamine shines for hemodynamically unstable patients, refractory asthma, and more. They also discuss training pitfalls, the value of hands-on experience (including vet collaboration ideas), and cultural differences in patient responses.Key Takeaways:S-Ketamine is roughly twice as potent as racemic ketamine — use ~half the dose, but expect the same onset, duration, and side-effect profile (with potentially milder psych effects at mid-doses).Excellent for analgesia and procedural sedation in austere settings; superior hemodynamic stability compared to opioids in hypovolemic trauma patients.S-Ketamine is now included in the 2026 TCCC updates — critical knowledge for every combat medic and austere provider.Practical tips: titrate slowly IV, watch for nystagmus/thousand-yard stare, prepare for emergence with low-dose midazolam + patience, consider regional blocks to reduce opioid needs.Training emphasis: objective endpoints, patient monitoring, planning for side effects, and real-world experience over rote memorization.Whether you're running a prolonged field care scenario, managing a screaming femur fracture, or preparing for the next deployment, this episode arms you with actionable strategies.Subscribe, share with your team, and visit prolongedfieldcare.org for free resources, downloads, and more.

Allison Black surprised her family by deciding to enlist in the U.S. Air Force after high school. She did it to be part of a mission bigger than herself. After basic training, Black spent the next several years as a Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape - or SERE - instructor, teaching service members what to do if shot down, stuck behind enemy lines, or captured. After several years of that she became an officer in Air Force special operations and served as a navigator aboard an AC-130H gunship. Shortly after 9/11, she and her crew were deployed to Afghanistan.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Col. Black describes her life in SERE training, making the shift to special operations and the AC-130, what 9/11 was like for her, entering combat in Afghanistan, and how a famed Afghan ally ended up dubbing her "The Angel of Death."Retiring in 2024, Black also reflects on the lessons she learned in 32 years of service and what she hopes others learned from her.

As a mom of four and pediatrician, her schedule most certainly doesn't allow for "easy" writing blocks, and her encouraging, honest words will no doubt reassure new and seasoned authors alike.

Long before Putin's invasion of Ukraine, conflict was simmering on Europe's borders. In overlooked territories in eastern Europe, the eastern Mediterranean and the Caucasus –from the Balkans and Cyprus to Abkhazia on the fringes of Georgia – local disputes spiral into regional crises, global alliances are forged and broken, and power is brokered while the West looks elsewhere. In this episode, acclaimed correspondent Hannah Lucinda Smith joins Adam McCauley to discuss her new book Hinterlands: Journeys through Europe's Unfinished Frontiers. She draws on vivid first-hand experience to paint a gripping portrait of Europe at its edges - and the struggles that will define its future. Hannah Lucinda Smith is a journalist known for reporting across the Middle East and Europe for The Times of London, The Atlantic, WIRED, and others. She is the author of Erdogan Rising, an account of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's rise to power, and Zarifa, the memoir of Afghan human rights activist Zarifa Ghafari.

Lyse Doucet, Canadian journalist and the BBC's Chief International Correspondent, takes us inside the Intercontinental Hotel in her new book: The Finest Hotel in Kabul, A People's History of Afghanistan. The hotel is an Afghan landmark that has seen every chapter in the country's history, and so has its staff. She explains why their stories matter, what they teach us about the country — and how she hopes these kinds of narratives can help the rest of the world care about Afghanistan, when it's faded from the news headlines.

How far would you go to get your hands on a cassette tape? Today, we meet two music archivers from Oakland. First an Afghan man's odyssey to preserve his cultural music. Then, a young woman from Sudan is digitizing old music cassettes for a new diaspora generation.

The Taliban retook power in Afghanistan in 2021, after the hasty conclusion to a 20 year U.S. occupation. Since then, music has been officially banned in the country. Musicians are driven underground, instruments are destroyed, and recordings are contraband.Here in the East Bay, one Afghan-American is working hard to preserve what he can. He's digitizing tapes he's sourced from back home and posting them in an online database he started calling the Afghan Cassette Archive. But getting those tapes out of Afghanistan is not as simple as an online order… It's an illegal, expensive, and dangerous odyssey.Reporter Christopher Alam met up with Omid J, aka OMJVinyls, at his Oakland studio to check out his rare collection.

It's the summer of 2006, and former DEA Agent Jeffrey James Higgins is your guide to an audacious HUMINT operation against an Afghan narco-terrorist. But in a lawless part of the world, the life of a lawman is a dangerous one - and success is always tempered by tragedy. From SPYSCAPE, the home of secrets. A Cup And Nuzzle production.

BREAKING PODCAST NEWS – I first discovered the work of director Rod Lurie when I caught his terrific military prison film “The Last Castle, “ which starred Robert Redford and James Gandolfini. I gave it a review on Facebook and he reached out and thanked me, which was very cool.  More recently, he directed the gripping Afghan war film “The Outpost,” which starred Scott Eastwood.  This coming June 26th, Rod teams again with Eastwood in another taut war story – “Lucky Strike” – which follows one determined engineering officer trapped in the midst of the German winter offensive against the allies – inotherwords – the Battle of the Bulge.  I was able to interview Rod all about this film, and he's the subject of this week's podcast.

Drop us a note about the podcast. You can quote John 14 all day, but the words get real when life turns confusing and painful. We start with Jesus' promise that we can ask for anything in his name, then slow down and ask what most people skip: are we praying for our will or God's will? I talk through why “not my will, but thy will be done” is not a throwaway line, but the only way prayer stays rooted in trust instead of entitlement.From there, we move into Titus 2 and the gritty, everyday side of sound doctrine: self-control, respect, reverence, integrity, and speech that holds up under pressure. I wrestle with a conviction my pastor says often, that one of the biggest problems for the church is the church, because hypocrisy doesn't just hurt our own souls, it teaches our kids the wrong lesson and gives outsiders a reason to scoff. Then we go to John 13 where Jesus makes it plain: love for one another is supposed to prove we're his disciples, starting in our own homes.We also read from Psalm 119 and Proverbs 15 on teachability, correction, and growing in understanding, then shift into the moral argument I make about illegal and mass immigration after discussing real crimes and victims. To end on courage and duty, I share the Medal of Honor story of Navy SEAL Edward C. Byers Jr., and close with a brief heritage reflection on Woodrow Wilson taking the oath on Psalm 46 and what that says about America's foundations as a Christian republic.

Canadian Armed Forces veteran and arm-wrestling legend Devon Larratt just shared one of the wildest military stories you will ever hear. While discussing the famous Kandahar Giant legend, Larratt said he personally saw an Afghan warlord who appeared to be around eight feet tall. According to Larratt, the man was massive, broad, and far outside the normal human range.For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (656) 218-0931 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/nez▶Sign up to our Free Newsletter, so you never miss out: https://bio.site/professornez▶ ORIGINAL MADE IN U.S.A 250TH AMERICA DESIGNS: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/

Afghanistan is facing a dire lack of food exacerbating a severe humanitarian crisis caused by dramatic aid cuts, the Taliban government's policies and severe drought. Such is the desperation, Afghan fathers have spoken of their impossible choices: selling children to survive. Also: President Putin arrives in China for his 25th visit, hot on the heels of Donald Trump. As he left Russia, he said there was an “unprecedented level” of trust between his country and China. International concern mounts over the scale of the Ebola epidemic in Africa, with the World Health Organisation holding an emergency meeting. Police in Spain have arrested the son of the retail magnate, Isak Andic, as they investigate his death eighteen months ago.

Over the past few years, Houston has taken in more Afghan refugees than any other American city. When refugees arrive, Omer Yousafzai is there to welcome them. He owns The Afghan Village restaurant, which has become a community hub and gathering place for Afghans and non-Afghans alike. This week Dan heads to Houston to share a meal with Omer at his restaurant. Over palau and kabobs — cooked with the help of Omer's nine-year-old son — they discuss how Omer's time as a defense contractor in the Afghanistan War inspired him to open the restaurant, the place's rocky first days, and why some people eat there for free. This episode originally aired on May 2, 2022, and was produced by Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Johanna Mayer, Tracey Samuelson, and Jared O'Connell.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, don't do this Iran deal, Mr. President! The Iranian regime the world's worst terrorist state for decades, which funds proxies, lies in negotiations, and uses talks to buy time while pursuing its fundamentalist ideology. The only path to true elimination of this regime is arming and training the Iranian people to overthrow their internal police state. Without fully toppling the regime, it will regroup, Hezbollah and Hamas will survive, and critics (Democrats, media, isolationists) will still attack Trump as having wimped out. Also, Barack Obama ignited Marxist-Islamist influences during his administration and is now praising Zohran Mamdani. In New York City, Mamdani is deliberately fostering a hostile and potentially deadly environment for Jews, where they face intimidation by thugs and Islamists, cannot safely attend temple, and encounter widespread antisemitic graffiti. Though he issues denunciations, he abolishes the anti-Semitic commission, targets organizations, and signals his intent to create conditions forcing Jews to leave, effectively aiming to depopulate the city of its Jewish community. Later, California has awarded CAIR-CA at least $41 million in taxpayer funds—mostly federal—over the last five years through the Department of Social Services, primarily for immigration legal services to Afghan newcomers. CAIR presents itself as a Muslim civil rights group but it is a front group for Hamas. CAIR should be shut down and its officials deported. Afterward, Alan Dershowitz, who has left the Democrat Party, calls in. Republicans need to retain the House and Senate to prevent Senators Warren, Murphy, and Rep AOC from controlling key committees – they are harmful to the country and peace. He calls Bernie Sanders the greatest anti-Semite today for opposing anything Jews or Israel do, drawing a parallel to 1932 German Jews who supported Hitler and ended up in Auschwitz. Sanders is a hypocrite who claims Jewish heritage yet abandoned diverse Brooklyn for overwhelmingly white Vermont to address racial problems. Learn more about your ad choices.
