Both Israeli leaders and the Israeli public – lulled by both President Donald Trump and former President Joe Biden’s backing of Israel – are utterly unprepared for the generational tsunami taking place when it comes to American support for the Jewish state, Haaretz’s opinions editor Amir Tibon told the Haaretz Podcast "Approximately 60 percent of Americans have a negative view of Israel, and the younger you go, the worse it gets – we're close to 80 percent," said Tibon, who previously served as Haaretz’s Washington and diplomatic correspondent. "Israelis are looking at the top line, which is what does Trump have to say about us? And they're ignoring the iceberg, which is hidden underneath the daily Trump noise, of negative views of the country." "We’re going to have a lot of problems once this older generation leaves the American political scene, and most Israelis don't understand it yet," he said. In his conversation with podcast host Allison Kaplan Sommer, Tibon also addressed the topic engaging most Israelis: whether or not Israel will be pulled into the continuing military confrontation between Iran and the United States, either at the request of the U.S. president or in response to a potential strike by the Iranians. He also addressed Gaza, both as a journalist and as a Gaza border resident. If Trump’s plan for rebuilding Gaza remains stagnant, he said, the situation is a “ticking-time bomb” with the “continuation of war” being inevitable. Tibon, who survived the October 7 attack on Kibbutz Nahal Oz, as detailed in his book, said that the ghosts of that day are ever present in daily life. "The memory is still there, and the fear is still there, and the trauma. And I think what is most lacking is a sense of optimism that we will have a better reality a year from today."

Children were once seen as their father's property. So how did we get from there to a family court system that tries – however imperfectly – to put their welfare first?Kate is joined by Lara Feigel, author and professor at King's College London, to draw a comprehensive timeline of the family courts, from a time when children were seen as their father's property right through to today. We talk about:How the family court developed in England and Wales over the centuries – from a system that treated children as property to one that tries to hear their voice How that compares internationally – and why we so often followed rather than ledWhen the voice of the child started to matter, and how it's heard todayWhy the family court should be the last reort for separating couplesThis episode is for anyone curious about how the family courts came to be, and why – where it's safe to – staying out of court is so often the kinder, calmer path.A note before you listen: this episode touches on the death of a child and domestic abuse.

It's also a term many people still use in everyday conversation when talking about their children after separation.But in England and Wales today, 'custody' isn't actually a legal term. It was replaced under the Children Act 1989, which shifted the focus away from one parent 'winning' and the other 'losing', and towards something more constructive: child arrangements. The language courts use now is 'lives with' and 'spends time with' – because the goal is for children to have meaningful, loving relationships with both parents wherever it's safe to do so.At amicable, we use 'child arrangements' rather than 'custody' for exactly this reason. The words we use shape how we think – and 'arrangements' puts children's needs at the centre, rather than parents' rights.About Lara FeigelLara Feigel is the author of Custody: The Secret History of Mothers – one of the Economist's best books of 2026. This is a history of child arrangements from 1800 told through the stories of several families. She is a professor at King's College London and the author of five other books on cultural history and a novel. You can find Lara's book Custody: The Secret History of Mothers on Amazon and you can read more of her writing on the Right to Equality website.More divorce resourcesNeed expert help right now?Book a free 15-minute consultation with an amicable expert for guidance on the legal, financial, emotional or co-parenting aspects of separation.

Most people spend decades building wealth and never quite get to the second question: not how do I protect this, but what do I actually want it to do? On this episode, Paddy Delaney talks to Denise Charlton, CEO of Community Foundation Ireland, about strategic philanthropy in Ireland. How it actually works, and where to start. What you'll learn: How a Donor Advised Fund works in Ireland, and why the entry point is lower than most assume (€25,000–€50,000) The difference between ad-hoc giving and strategic philanthropy How tax relief and Capital Acquisitions Tax exemptions apply to charitable giving in Ireland How families bring the next generation into a giving conversation, and how endowments work in perpetuity If you've built significant wealth and you're starting to ask what it's actually for, this conversation is worth your time.

Tomorrow Andy Burnham will become Prime Minister but what kind of administration will he run? Growing up as a working-class Catholic in the North of England he says that Catholic Social Teaching had a big impact on his politics. Audrey talks to Professor Anna Rowlands from Durham University. So what is Catholic Social Teaching and how might it be applied to politics by the highest office in the land.Tonight is the World Cup Final between Argentina and Spain but how much of what we've seen over the past five weeks has been down to pure skills and strategy? Or is there a little bit of belief, a little bit of faith among the players too? We've seen many of them making the sign of the cross, raising hands of thanks to the sky, the Morrocco team dropping to the ground to pray after a win - a reminder that sport, glory and faith are inextricably linked in some people's minds. We talk to Rabbi Jonathan Romain and Gerard Gallagher about the links between faith and sport.Last month a series of devastating earthquakes struck Venezuela killing at least 4800 people and making tens of thousands homeless. Regina Lynch from Aid to the Church in Need has just returned and tells Audrey what she saw.And finally, we pay tribute to David Willey who was the BBC's Rome and Vatican correspondent for 5 decades. He died this week at the age of 93.

This week, with Andy Burnham's coronation just days away, Coco & Zoe dig into why the whole thing felt like such a foregone conclusion, and unpack what we might expect from Burnham's summer season.Speaking of Burn-ing, the UK is literally on fire… so why are some politicians urging us to drop net zero targets altogether as we swelter through another heatwave? Also on the show: CEO of Women's Aid, Farah Nazeer, joins to talk about their World Cup campaign, ‘The Other Kick Off', and how we need cultural and structural changes to meaningfully move the dial on domestic abuse and violence against women and girls. Plus, as the news of Ann Widdecombe's death shocks us all, Coco & Zoe discuss the reality of being a woman in the public eye. Content note: This episode contains discussions of rape, sexual assault and domestic abuse.  GUESTS Farah Nazeer USEFUL LINKSWomen's Aid Refuge Research Digital Misogynoir Report — GlitchWomen's Aid Reveals ‘The Other ‘Kick Off' Time Thousands of Women Dread During the World Cup CHECK OUT THESE DEALS FROM OUR SPONSORS SHOPIFY: https://www.shopify.co.uk/podsavetheukPod Save the UK is an Intelligence Squared production for Crooked Media.We'll be doing another mailbag episode soon so get in touch!

Fake Fact Check: AI, Aid and the Gaza Bakery: What We Know by Radio Islam

The Department of Government Efficiency, better known as DOGE, has officially been terminated. Its July 4th sunset date was part of Donald Trump's original executive order that created the agency, which Elon Musk ran. During his tenure, Musk oversaw the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D., which used to provide life-saving medical and nutritional programs around the world. Musk, who recently became the world's first trillionaire, claims that there is no evidence that a single person died after DOGE cancelled more than eighty per cent of U.S.A.I.D.'s programs, cutting basic health-care access to some ninety-five million people. Atul Gawande disagrees. He was the assistant administrator for global health at  U.S.A.I.D. until he stepped down, the same week Trump ended U.S. foreign assistance. Gawande says an estimated seven hundred thousand people have already died as a result of the cuts. David Remnick speaks with the longtime New Yorker contributor about the profound effects of ending U.S.A.I.D.'s work abroad, Musk's involvement in these decisions, and the deaths it all has wrought.    Further reading, viewing, and listening:  “The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands,” film by Thomas Jennings and Annie Wong, text by Atul Gawande “Hundreds of Thousands Will Die,” an episode of The New Yorker Radio Hour “Behind the Chaotic Attempt to Freeze Federal Assistance,” by Atul Gawande New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday.

As Women Emerging concludes its Journeys to Leadership series, this special re-release revisits one of the conversations that helped shape how we think about leadership.The episode brings together Rouba Mhassen, Erica Su, and Folawe Omikunle as they reflect on the moments that transformed how they understood themselves and the way they lead.Rouba shares how she did not recognise herself as someone leading until others named it, and how embracing that identity changed everything. Erica explores the importance of writing your own story, making decisions that are self-defining rather than self-limiting, and having the courage to say no. Folawe reflects on leading with love, building communities that lift one another up, and accepting that difficult conversations are part of the journey.Together, their stories explore confidence, responsibility, identity, relationships, courage, and the quiet moments that reshape how we see ourselves. The conversation reminds us that leadership is rarely a linear journey, and that the most significant turning points are often recognised only in hindsight.About the Guest:Rouba MhaissenRouba Mhaissen is an economist, activist, and development practitioner focused on the MENA region, particularly forced migration and the Syrian refugee crisis. She is the founder and director of the Sawa Foundation and Sawa for Development and Aid, organizations dedicated to working with Syrian refugees through an integrated development approach since 2011. Mhaissen has also worked with Lebanese, Iraqi, and Palestinian refugees and has been actively involved in lobbying for human rights, especially concerning Syrian refugees. Her expertise spans a range of issues, including education, gender, violence, conflict, household economics, forced migration, and activism.Erica SuErica is the EY Global Emerging Markets Leader for Strategy and Transactions, with 20 years of experience in cross-border M&A.

Ep. 212 - When her mother passed away from cancer, Sara Raoof Jacobs channeled her grief into a profound mission: giving others the comforting feeling of being mothered . What began as small, grassroots acts of kindness blossomed into Maman (the Farsi word for "Mom"), a rapidly growing organization powered by over 500 active volunteers . Kimberly connects with Sara to explore the raw journey of losing a parent , the spiritual power of everyday giving , and how a dedicated network of mothers managed to coordinate massive humanitarian relief efforts overnight —including filling a private plane with two tons of critical medical supplies . From uniting local high schools to bridging divides between inter-faith communities, Sarah's story is a beautiful testament to the global ripple effect of a mother's love.

In this episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. Steve Edelman is joined by pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Anna Cymbaluk, along with Philip and his father Jim, to discuss the recent FDA approval of Afrezza inhaled insulin for children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes. Dr. Cymbaluk served as an investigator on the INHALE-1 trial, while Philip participated in the study himself, providing a unique real-world perspective on what it is like to transition from injections to inhaled insulin, and Philip's dad, Jim provided the parent perspective as well as addressed parental concerns that might have arisen.The conversation focuses on the INHALE-1 study and the unmet challenges that continue to exist around mealtime insulin dosing in pediatric diabetes care. Dr. Cymbaluk reviews the trial design, glucose outcomes, safety data, patient satisfaction findings, and the practical realities of introducing inhaled insulin into everyday diabetes management. Philip and Jim share how Afrezza impacted school, sports, social situations, and the day-to-day burden of diabetes, particularly around pre-bolusing, corrections, and avoiding multiple injections throughout the day.Dr. Edelman and Dr. Cymbaluk also explore how Afrezza is dosed, how inhaled insulin differs from injected insulin, who may be a good candidate, and where it may fit alongside pumps and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems. For families looking for more flexibility, fewer mealtime barriers, and another option in the diabetes toolbox, this episode provides an honest look at the benefits, limitations, and real-world experience of inhaled insulin in children and teens.Key Topics• The FDA approval of Afrezza for children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes• The design and results of the INHALE-1 pediatric clinical trial• Patient satisfaction and quality-of-life outcomes from the study• The challenges of pre-bolusing and mealtime insulin management in children and teens• How inhaled insulin compares to traditional mealtime injections• Dosing strategies, cartridge sizes, and insulin conversion considerations• Using Afrezza for corrections, meals, and post-meal dosing• The role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) when using inhaled insulin• Safety findings, lung-function monitoring, and cough management• Who may be a good candidate for Afrezza—and who may not be• Benefits for active children, athletes, and those participating in sports• Social situations, injection avoidance, and reducing the burden of diabetes management• Using Afrezza alongside insulin pumps and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems• The importance of having more treatment options to individualize diabetes careSupported by an unrestricted educational grant from MannKind CorporationSubscribe for practical diabetes management tips, technology updates, and treatment breakthroughs that help people with diabetes live healthier, more flexible lives.More diabetes resources:Website: tcoyd.orgBlog: tcoyd.org/blogPodcast: tcoydthepodcast.transistor.fmInstagram: / tcoydFacebook: / tcoydStay connected!

After a devastating double earthquake in Venezuela, tens of thousands of people are still believed to be missing, with many trapped under rubble. Nearly 1,500 people have been confirmed dead and the death toll is expected to rise. Aid agencies say the first 72 hours after a disaster are the most critical to finding people alive. But there is a lack of heavy machinery and specialised equipment needed to rescue people. Much of the emergency response is being carried out by volunteers and international aid workers from Turkey, the UK and France. BBC's Global Affairs reporter Mimi Swaby gives us the latest update on the situation.Against all odds, several videos online show miraculous stories of survival, like young infants and children being lifted from the rubble. Bill Murphy, a professor of engineering geology at the University of Leeds in the UK, tells us what increases the chances of survival in awful conditions like these.

A crucial window has now closed in Venezuela. Aid groups say the first 72 hours are the most critical for finding survivors after a major earthquake. It's now believed Wednesday's twin quakes have killed more than 14-hundred people. Tens of thousands of people are still missing, and search and rescue workers are scrambling to save as many survivors as possible.Also: Temperatures continue to soar dangerously high across Europe. Cities and towns in France, The U.K., Belgium, Germany, and others all saw the mercury hit record highs for this time of the year. And the stifling heatwave that's blanketed Western Europe is now moving eastward.And: For the second weekend in a row, Central Alberta is being drenched with rain. A week ago, record amounts of rainfall, led to some towns and cities declaring states of emergency as waste-water systems became overwhelmed. Now, the rain is back, and the region is on its way to having the wettest June on record.Plus: U.S. - Iran tensions, Xenophobia in South Africa, Debating theatre etiquette, and more.

In this episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. Edelman and Dr. Pettus are joined by pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Jamie Wood, medical director of pediatric diabetes at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital and an investigator on the INHALE-1 trial, to talk through inhaled insulin in kids and where it fits in real-world pediatric care.The conversation focuses on the recent approval of Afrezza for children as young as six, and what the INHALE-1 trial actually showed. Dr. Wood walks through the study design, A1C results, lung-function and safety data, and the practical aspects of dosing inhaled insulin in a pediatric population. Rather than positioning it as a replacement for injections or pumps, the discussion centers on finding the right fit for each child's needs, from the newly diagnosed kid with a needle phobia to the teen trying to dose discreetly during a 20-minute school lunch.Dr. E, Dr. P, and Dr. Wood also discuss the everyday realities that shape how this option is used, including the set-dose cartridge sizes, a titration approach refined in clinic, and how families are mixing and matching tools alongside automated insulin delivery. The takeaway is encouraging: there are more options than ever for managing mealtime insulin in kids, and this one may help fill some of the gaps left by injections and pumps.Key Topics • The recent approval of inhaled insulin for children as young as six • How the INHALE-1 pediatric trial was designed • A1C results and what the primary endpoint analysis showed • Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) metrics across the two groups • Lung-function (FEV1) monitoring and pediatric safety • Weight and body mass index (BMI) findings • Why mealtime dosing is a leading unmet need in pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D) • The set-dose cartridge approach and how it reframes meal sizes • A real-world titration method for inhaled insulin • Managing cough and other practical considerations • Needle phobia and the kids who struggle most with injections • Using inhaled insulin alongside automated insulin delivery (AID) systems • What's coming next, including a smaller cartridge dose and a new-onset trial Subscribe for practical diabetes management tips, technology updates, and treatment breakthroughs that help people with diabetes live healthier, more flexible lives.More diabetes resources:Website: tcoyd.orgBlog: tcoyd.org/blogPodcast: tcoydthepodcast.transistor.fmInstagram: / tcoydFacebook: / tcoydStay connected!

Should the United States end foreign aid to Israel?In this powerful Pulse of Israel interview, Congressman Stutzman explains why he has introduced a groundbreaking resolution in Congress to phase out U.S. foreign aid to Israel and replace it with a new model based on trade, strategic partnership, joint development projects, and mutual national interests.For decades, the U.S.-Israel relationship has been framed around aid packages. Congressman Stutzman argues that it is time to move beyond the outdated donor-recipient model and strengthen the alliance as a true partnership between two sovereign nations. Instead of foreign aid, he proposes expanding economic cooperation, technological innovation, defense collaboration, and bilateral investment that benefits both Americans and Israelis.This interview is especially significant because the idea did not emerge overnight. More than a year ago, Avi Abelow as part of our Yes! Israel project, together with Israeli Knesset Member Amit Halevi, began presenting the "Aid to Trade" concept in meetings with members of Congress and U.S. Senators in Washington DC. The goal was simple: strengthen the U.S.-Israel strategic alliance while removing the stigma that Israel is dependent on American handouts.Congressman Stutzman has also participated in Yes! Israel Project missions to Israel, where he witnessed firsthand the security challenges facing the Jewish state and the importance of a strong U.S.-Israel partnership based on shared values and common interests.Topics discussed include:• Ending U.S. foreign aid to Israel• The future of the U.S.-Israel alliance• Aid-to-trade proposals• Strategic cooperation between America and Israel• Defense and technology partnerships• Congressional support for Israel• Israel's economic and military strength• Middle East security challenges• Conservative foreign policy perspectivesWhat do you think?

California's End of Life Option Act, which allows people with certain terminal illnesses and a life expectancy of less than six months to receive medication that ends their life, turns 10 this month. Yet despite polling showing the policy is popular, access remains complicated and controversial, and few eligible patients actually pursue the option. We'll discuss how the program has worked in California and examine the shifting national support for medical aid-in-dying policies. Guests: Paula Span, adjunct professor, Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism; writes the New Old Age column, a co-production of The New York Times and KFF Health News Dr. Lonny Shavelson, physician and director of education, Academy of Aid-in-Dying Medicine; medical doctor who's provided aid-in-dying care for 7 years Learn more about your ad choices.

Balazs Nemethi, CEO of the Agent Community, explains why AI agents need identities and why the window to decide who controls that infrastructure is closing fast. He breaks down how a community-governed effort is working to secure .agent as a top-level domain, and why domains are a smart foundation for agent identity. Key Takeaways: Why agents need identities, including personalized names and domains What challenges will emerge around trust, safety, and accountability as agents scale, and why domains are a powerful trust layer What community governance could change by preventing single-company control over agent identity How the ICANN application process works, and the one bylaw that gives community a real shot at winning a TLD Why verifying agents (not just humans) may be the smarter approach to trust on the agentic web Guest Bio: Balázs Nemethi is a Hungarian technologist and entrepreneur working at the intersection of internet infrastructure, identity, and AI. He is the founder of the Agent Community at agentcommunity.org, a community-backed effort to establish .agent as a new top-level domain and identity layer for AI agents. He is also the author of AID, a DNS-first standard for agent identity and discovery. Previously, he helped scale the Decentralized Identity Foundation to more than 300 organizations; founded Taqanu, a financial-inclusion company serving refugees in Germany; and built Web3 compliance infrastructure at Veri Labs, where he is the inventor on a U.S. patent for programmable assets. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About this Show: The Brave Technologist is here to shed light on the opportunities and challenges of emerging tech.

More info on the website under the events tab. Okay.. our top story this week: XX Afrezza inhaled insulin is now approved for kids and teens. The FDA okayed MannKind's afrezza for children 6 and older with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. MannKind says its proprietary Technosphere drug delivery platform enables the rapid absorption of insulin into systemic circulation. This follows FDA approval earlier this year for an update that revises recommendations for the starting mealtime dosage when patients switch from subcutaneous mealtime insulin regimens. MannKind also completed enrollment in February for a study evaluating the initiation of Afrezza therapy shortly after type 1 diabetes diagnosis in pediatric patients.   The company said it made Afrezza available for eligible patients for $35 or less per month. Desmond Schatz, professor of pediatrics at the University of Florida College of Medicine, said: "Mealtime insulin can be especially challenging for children because eating and snacking patterns, activity levels, and daily settings like school and sports often vary. With its rapid onset and dosing at the start of a meal, Afrezza may help clinicians better match insulin therapy to how children and families live day to day, while offering a needle-free mealtime option." Lots more to come on this – we're working on a bonus episode with one of the pediatric endos who worked on the clinical trials that led to this approval – hopefully have that out later this week. https://www.massdevice.com/mannkind-fda-approval-inhaled-insulin-children/ XX FDA has agreed to consider a new drug for the treatment of adults with type 1 and chronic kidney disease. Finerenone (fy-near-uh-known) is currently approved in the US for adults with CKD associated with type 2 diabetes and for adults with heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction of 40% or greater. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is present in over one-third of adults with diabetes, and because it's such a serious condition, interventions are needed to reduce its incidence and help people live a long and prosperous life. https://www.docwirenews.com/post/fda-grants-priority-review-to-finerenone-snda-for-type-1-diabetes-associated-ckd XX Abbot gets European approval for the world's first dual glucose‑ketone sensing technology for people with diabetes. They're calling this Libre Duo and Libre Duo 10 Day, and it's designed to continuously measure glucose and ketone levels every minute. Abbott plans to begin launching Libre Duo systems in select European countries later this year. Libre Duo delivers up to 15 days of wear and will be offered to adults ages 18 and older. Libre Duo 10 Day offers up to 10 days of wear and is intended for people ages 2 and older. Abbott is also working with leading pump companies to allow automated insulin delivery (AID) systems to connect with the sensors. https://abbott.mediaroom.com/2026-05-27-Abbott-secures-CE-Mark-for-worlds-first-dual-glucose-ketone-sensing-technology-for-people-with-diabetes   XX Huge recall for Omnipod. Insulin says a manufacturing issue through ongoing product monitoring that could result in insulin under-delivery  with specific lots of its Omnipod 5, Dash and Eros pods. Insulet said the scope of this action reaches approximately 7 million pods. This issue is separate from the March recall that affected certain Omnipod 5 lots. According to the Acton, Massachusetts-based company, some of its affected pods may have a small tear in the tubing (cannula) just above the skin. This tear lands between the pod and the point where the cannula enters the body. If this occurs, insulin may leak outside of the device instead of being fully delivered into the body as intended. This may lead to under-delivery of the therapeutic.   Individuals using an affected pod may notice wetness on the skin or pod adhesive or detect the smell of insulin. However, some cases may prove difficult to detect and go unnoticed. Of the approximately 7 million pods included in the action, approximately 60% have been consumed or are expired. The pods affected by the correction represent approximately 8.5% of the 2025 global Omnipod pod prodcution. Insulet says it has sufficient supply to replace affected pods. It expects no disruption to product availability. The company said it has notified the FDA and all other relevant regulatory authorities of its action.   The full list of affected pod lots can be found here. https://www.massdevice.com/insulet-another-omnipod-5-recall-dash-eros/ XX Dexcom is warning that certain scrapped glucose sensors have been stolen and resold. Dexcom said it has not received any reports of severe adverse events associated with the stolen product. One lot of scrapped devices carries a risk of infection for sensors that are not properly sterilized, and another lot had an elevated internal testing failure rate, meaning users would have an increased risk of having no sensor readings available. Dexcom said the affected sensors were stolen during the destruction process and then sold by third parties. The company routinely scraps sensors that do not meet its standards. The sensors are sent to a third-party vendor for destruction and recycling.   Dexcom said it traced sales of the stolen devices to Pharmsource, which is not an authorized Dexcom distributor but supplies some independent pharmacies and U.S. durable medical equipment distributors. Because of this, pharmacies that purchase products from Pharmsource should review their inventory, Dexcom said.   People with sensors from the affected lots should not use those sensors and can call customer support to request replacements. Dexcom has set up a website to help users check if their devices are affected. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/dexcom-warns-of-scrapped-glucose-sensors-being-resold/821139/ XX XX   Beta Bionics plans to debut its first insulin patch pump by the end of the second quarter of 2027, subject to Food and Drug Administration clearance. The device, called Mint, would be compatible with Beta Bionics' interoperable automated glycemic controller, a software that allows for the pump to automatically adjust insulin delivery based on readings from a glucose sensor. Beta Bionics first unveiled the prototype for Mint last year at the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions. The device is expected to have a similar size and wear time, at three days, to Insulet's patch pumps on the market. It would have a 200-unit insulin reservoir.   Mint differs by containing a mix of reusable and disposable components. Beta Bionics plans to make the device exclusively available in the pharmacy channel, building on its existing agreements for its current iLet insulin pump. Beta Bionics is one of several diabetes tech companies developing patch pumps to compete with market leader Insulet. Tandem Diabetes Care and Medtronic spinoff MiniMed have also announced planned patch pumps. Tandem said it plans to file a 510(k) submission this quarter for a tubeless version of its small, durable pump, and Medtronic plans to submit its patch pump to the FDA this fall.   https://www.medtechdive.com/news/beta-bionics-to-launch-its-first-insulin-patch-pump-to-compete-with-insulet/821091/ XX CVS puts Zepbound back on it's coverage list – with it's Caremark PBM. They also added Foundayo, Lilly's obesity pill. CVS had dropped Lilly's Zepound last summer but kept competitor Wegovy. It'll be back at Caremark October first. All three of the nation's largest pharmacy ⁠benefit managers ​now cover Lilly's full obesity medicine portfolio. https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/cvs-brings-back-coverage-lillys-obesity-drug-zepbound-2026-05-28/   More to come, including a new benefit from metformin for women, something new from Tidepool, big news for T1D in Austalia and more.. XX A new study suggests that higher long-term exposure to food colouring additives — including both synthetic and natural colourings commonly found in processed foods and beverages — may be associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Researchers analyzed data from more than 108,000 adults in the French NutriNet-Santé cohort between 2009 and 2023, following participants for a median of just over eight years. During that time, 1,131 participants developed type 2 diabetes. The study found that people with the highest intake of total food colouring additives had a 38% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared with non- or low-consumers.   Several specific additives were linked to increased risk, including caramel colouring additives such as total caramel (E150 family), plain caramel (E150a), sulphite ammonia caramel (E150d), and beta-carotene (E160a). Additional associations were observed for curcumin (E100), anthocyanins (E163), paprika extract (E160c), lutein (E161b), and cochineal-derived colourings (E120). "Our findings revealed positive associations between widely consumed food colouring additives and type 2 diabetes incidence," the authors wrote, adding that further research is needed to better understand the mechanisms behind the findings and whether food colouring regulations should be reevaluated. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/use-common-food-colours-tied-high-type-2-diabetes-risk-2026a1000hes XX Big news for Australia – their Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approves Tzield. Tzield is now approved in Australia to delay the onset of stage 3 (or clinical) T1D in people aged eight years and older with stage 2 T1D – the early, pre-symptomatic stage of the condition, where changes in blood glucose levels have begun but insulin therapy is not yet required. Breakthrough T1D Australia Chief Executive Officer, Sydney Yovic, said the approval represented a transformational moment for Australians affected by T1D. https://newshub.medianet.com.au/2026/05/landmark-approval-of-tzield-in-australia-ushers-in-a-new-era-of-delay-for-type-1-diabetes/155036/ XX https://www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/05/diabetes-pregnancy/687324/ XX A common diabetes drug may hold great potential to help with aging, even if scientists aren't exactly sure why. According to a study, the drug metformin doesn't just help patients to effectively manage their type 2 diabetes. it may also give older women a better chance of living to 90. Scientists in the US and Germany used data from a long-term US study of postmenopausal women.   Records for a total of 438 people were selected – half of whom took metformin to treat diabetes, and half of whom took a different diabetes drug, sulfonylurea.   While there are some caveats and asterisks to the study, those in the metformin group were calculated to have a 30 percent lower risk of dying before the age of 90 than those in the sulfonylurea group. The study used age 90 as the marker for 'exceptional' longevity. However, scientists aren't yet sure that the drug extends lifespan, especially in humans – which is part of the reason for this study. RCTs could follow further down the line to dig deeper into these results, the researchers suggest. In the meantime, as the global population continues to skew older, studies continue to find ways to keep us healthier for longer and reduce damage to the body as we age. https://www.sciencealert.com/a-common-diabetes-drug-is-linked-with-exceptional-longevity-in-women XX The American Diabetes Association® (ADA) will host the 2026 Scientific Sessions from June 5-8 in New Orleans. The ADA's Scientific Sessions is the world's largest diabetes meeting, convening an expected audience of over 12,000 leading physicians, scientists, researchers, and healthcare professionals from around the globe. The premier diabetes meeting, which is also offered virtually, will feature the latest scientific findings in diabetes and obesity, where leading experts and peers will share findings in research for prevention, care, and cures at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Key themes will include: Advancing obesity and metabolic health: Prevention, early detection, and disease modification: Improving cardiometabolic outcomes: Transforming care through innovation and access: New research will highlight how technology, artificial intelligence, and implementation strategies are reshaping diabetes care—reducing treatment burden, expanding access, and enabling more person-centered care.

The Trump Administration has made little secret of its desire to dismantle the Federal Emergency Management Agency and give states the responsibility to respond to all manner of natural disasters on their own. FEMA has endured tremendous internal strife over leadership, and reports have suggested its mission has been compromised by partisan decision-making: President Trump—the sole arbiter of who ultimately gets FEMA relief—has rejected aid for Democratic-led states at the highest rate in the agency's history.  This has led to accusations of emergency aid being used as a “political cudgel,” and has had a chilling effect on some of the rank-and-file staff at the agency. The New Yorker Radio Hour's Adam Howard speaks to a longtime employee of FEMA about what's going on behind the scenes, and whether it could have a negative impact on the agency's ability to respond to the next emergency.  The subject of this interview is currently working for FEMA, a federal agency, and he asked to remain anonymous. His voice has been digitally regenerated for the audio of this interview. Further reading and listening:  “American Emergency: The Movement to Kill FEMA,” by “On the Media” “Outrage and Paranoia After Hurricane Helene,” by Jessica Pishko “For the Victims of Florence, Trump Needs to Prove that He Can Get Hurricane Recovery Right,” by Doug Bock Clark and Charles Bethea “Inequality and Hurricane Harvey,” by Ben Taub   New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. Although not widely reported in legacy media outlets, Christianity is, by far, the most persecuted religion in the world. From the Middle East and Africa to India, China, North Korea, and elsewhere, Christian communities regularly experience widespread humiliation, imprisonment, kidnappings, expulsions, and even murderous mob violence. While not as severe, Christians in parts of Europe and even right here at home, in the US, also often endure discrimination, exclusion, and ridicule. There is no ambiguity about who is carrying out these attacks or what motivates them. Like the martyrs of past centuries, millions of our Christian brothers and sisters are currently suffering because they profess faith in Jesus Christ. In response to this ongoing outrage, Bishop Robert Barron has released a new book called What Do Their Deaths Demand? Christian Persecution Today. Intended for widespread distribution, the book spotlights heartbreaking stories of the continued targeting of Christian communities throughout the world, offers a theological explanation for why Christianity has been under assault since its inception, and, most importantly, provides actionable ideas for what all of us can do to respond. Here to discuss the book—and why its message is more urgent than ever—is Bishop Robert Barron.

1. Secret Service Funding & Political Conflict The U.S. Secret Service stopped an alleged assassination attempt and they were underfunded due to Department of Homeland Security budget disputes. Democrats repeatedly voted against DHS/Secret Service funding, framing this as irresponsible given security risks. This political rhetoric contributes to political violence. Discusses legal opposition to construction of a White House ballroom with enhanced security features. The court’s temporary halt to construction is portrayed as dismissive of national security concerns. There are repeated threats against President Trump as justification for heightened security. 3. Radicalization & Political Violence Narrative Attributes recent acts of political violence to left‑wing ideology and alleged “Marxist” indoctrination in academia. Cites a purported manifesto to argue that ideological framing of “oppressors vs. victims” is used to justify violence. 4. FBI Raids and Minnesota Fraud Allegations FBI raids on over 20 childcare and nonprofit facilities in Minneapolis related to alleged large‑scale fraud. The fraud is involving misuse of taxpayer funds, particularly in programs tied to childcare and social services. Minnesota political leaders are accused of ignoring or covering up fraud while later taking credit for enforcement. There is widespread abuse of SNAP (food stamp) benefits, including recipients allegedly owning high‑end luxury vehicles. The federal eligibility rules (broad‑based categorical eligibility) are at fault for enabling fraud. Both fraudsters and policymakers who support current rules should be held accountable. Democratic officials are benefiting politically from fraud & welfare expansion. Specific figures are cited as symbols of incompetence, corruption, or ideological extremism. 7. DEI Policies & Homelessness Programs Describes homelessness assistance systems, particularly in Portland, Oregon, as driven by DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) scoring systems. Aid is prioritized based on race, sexuality, or identity over economic need leads to ineffective outcomes. Despite very high spending per homeless individual, homelessness‑related deaths increased significantly. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
