SOR March 24 23 Ghosts Of Newfoundland With Amber Rudd

SOR March 24 23 Ghosts Of Newfoundland With Amber Rudd

Amber Rudd is a paranormal enthusiast and investigator of all things strange and odd. Living on Canada's east coast, in the province of Newfoundland, Amber has recorded and investigated some of the greatest hauntings and monsters the maritimes have to offer.

Amber Rudd and I got to know each other by experiencing the bubbling cauldron of UK politics at the same time.As we became firm friends, I realised one of her amazing qualities was the ability to stay calm in a crisis and to keep everything in perspective.We talk about what she learned from her father going blind; how she ended up being “Aristocracy Coordinator” on Four Weddings and a Funeral; being married to the brilliant but complex AA Gill; and her tumultuous experience at the very top of politics.

Amber Rudd had one of the most meteoric rises to power in recent political history. With just over a year between her first Cabinet appointment to her first day as home secretary, she became a well-established actor within Theresa May's government. Her parliamentary career was, however, halted in its tracks after a series of revelations amid the Windrush Deportation Scandal. She talks to Rachel about her idyllic childhood, her troublesome marriage, and her legacy in the home office.

It's understood that there will not be a specific women's minister in Prime Minister Liz Truss' government. Amber Rudd, former women's minister who held the post whilst Home Secretary - tells Emma why she believes the move is 'regressive' and 'baffling'.

Matthew Bannister on Dom Phillips, the freelance journalist who was ambushed and shot dead on a trip into the Amazon rain forest. Stephen S. Thompson, the novelist and screenwriter who won a BAFTA for his TV drama telling the story of his brother's experiences during the Windrush scandal. Caroline Drummond, who campaigned for greater links between farming and environmental protection – and oversaw the launch of Open Farm Sunday. Maureen Hiron, the top-class bridge player who invented many new games including Continuo and Quizwrangle.

Eating nuts and peanuts associated with reduced overall, cardiovascular death   Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, March 2, 2022   Eating nuts and peanuts was associated with a reduced risk of overall death and death from cardiovascular disease across different ethnic groups and among individuals with low socioeconomic status, which suggests that peanuts, because of their affordability, may be a cost-effective measure to improve cardiovascular health, according to an article published by JAMA Internal Medicine. The authors analyzed three large study groups involving 71,764 low-income black and white men and women living in the southeastern United States and 134,265 Chinese men and women living in Shanghai, China. Men in both the U.S. and Chinese study participant groups consumed more peanuts than women. In the U.S. group, about 50 percent of the nut/peanut consumption was peanuts and in the participant groups from China only peanut consumption was assessed.   (NEXT)   People with diabetes who eat less processed food at night may live longer   Study finds eating carbs earlier in the day is linked to better heart health   Harbin Medical University (China), March 15, 2022   The time of day that people with diabetes eat certain foods may be just as important to their well-being as portion size and calories, according to a new study published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. Mealtimes should be in line with the biological clock—a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep–wake cycle and repeats every 24 hours. Health outcomes for people with diabetes may be improved if certain foods are eaten at different times of the day.   (NEXT)   Researchers find out why yogurt lowers the risk of developing diabetes   Université of Laval (Quebec), March 15, 2022    Scientists have known for some years that eating yogurt is associated with a reduced risk of diabetes, but the reasons behind this protective effect were unclear. A study published today in Nature Communications reveals that this protection could come partly from the gut microbiota as well as from specific metabolites produced by the lactic bacteria in yogurt. “These metabolites, called branched chain hydroxy acids (BCHA), result from the action of yogurt lactic bacteria on naturally occurring amino acids in milk. “ The researchers made this discovery when observing the effects of yogurt on mice fed a diet rich in sugars and fats. One of the groups was given the equivalent of two daily servings of yogurt. After the 12-week experiment, the researchers found better control of blood sugar, insulin resistance, and liver function in the yogurt fed group. They then analyzed all the metabolites present in their livers and observed changes in BCHA.   (NEXT)   Low blood folate may be linked to heightened dementia and death risks in older people   Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, March 15, 2022   Low levels of folate (vitamin B9) in the blood may be linked to a heightened risk of dementia and death from any cause in older people, suggests research published online in the journal Evidence Based Mental Health. Levels should be routinely monitored and deficiencies corrected in older age, especially given that blood levels of folate tend to tail off with age, with up to 1 in 5 older adults estimated to be folate deficient, say the researchers. The evidence to date suggests that folate deficiency affects cognition and nerve signaling in the brain, making it a possible risk factor for subsequent dementia.   (OTHER NEWS)   Darktrace and Cybereason: The Intelligence Front Companies Seeking to Subjugate the World with the A.I. Singularity   Meet two power cybersecurity companies riddled with American, British, and Israeli intelligence agents who plan on using AI technology to target foreign populations as well as their own. BY JOHNNY VEDMORE UNLIMITED HANGOUT NOVEMBER 3, 2020   We have all been dreaming, a dream where you can float or glide across your dreamscape effortlessly. This leads to the feeling of trepidation, as though you have the ability to let go, and if you do let go, you'll either soar or fall. We're now at a point in history where either the coming events will be studied for thousands of years, or it will be remembered as the point where we lost our humanity completely. Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) technology has entered a new phase over the past several years, where instead of the A.I. algorithms learning from humans, they are now teaching themselves, changing their own algorithms as they learn. We are on the cusp of letting go of control entirely, so early on, because of a few small companies who have quietly been given free reign under the guise of “protecting” our digital lives, all within a tech sector that is moving so fast that we can no longer see what's just around the bend. The entire free thinking population of Earth would love a little more time to discuss such epochal change. However, the technocrats and scientists, supported by venture capitalists, are already putting into action the future before the masses have a chance to even consider discussing its consequences. With very little legislation governing A.I. technologies on the books, our governments are eager to get every tech pioneer inventing whilst there is no accountability for any resulting harm. We're not talking major societal disruption, we're talking about a potential extinction level event of our own creation. Where we should be taking cautious baby steps, instead we're expecting to fly just by letting go. We are about to experience a monumental change in technology, starting with “next-generation” cybersecurity that will then move quickly into the unknown. Unsupervised A.I., now running on critical networks throughout the world as a “cybersecurity” product, is evolving its own algorithm without the need for humans to be involved. Meanwhile, the wealthy patrons funding this cutting edge future tech are out in force, working to propel our societies into this new, unexplored and dystopian technological frontier. But who are the companies that these eager wealthy venture capitalists are funding to create an autonomous, A.I.-powered cyber defence system like never before? Are they even companies at all when we consider their deep and direct ties to intelligence agencies? Should these firms instead be reclassified as simply extensions of state intelligence apparatus acting without the restrictions of public accountability? Each of these companies have been built by teams of former intelligence operatives, some of who have sat in the highest echelons of the intelligence apparati of their respective countries. MI5 and C.I.A. both carry considerable weight in these sinister sounding enterprises, but it is Israel's Unit 8200 that are the main group capitalising on this advance into the world-altering realm of unsupervised Artificial Intelligence algorithms. Yet, these very companies appear to be selling a defence against a potential apocalypse that they themselves may be responsible for. They have the solutions to everyone's cyber-woes, or at least that's the image they wish to portray. Let me introduce you to the most dangerous intelligence operations masquerading as cybersecurity companies on planet Earth. Darktrace – The Unsupervised Machine Learning A.I. Cybersecurity Solution The members of Darktrace are open about their aims. They talk about publicly held dataas though they already have the rights to sell it to anyone around the world. Data is the fuel of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Darktrace has made almost $2 billion in the data business during its relatively short history, reaching Unicorn status with great ease. When Darktrace first launched its website in 2013, its description of the company's vision was entitled, “The New Normal: Learn Human and Machine Behavior to Reduce Cyber Security Risks.” Back then we were less familiar with the term “the new normal,” but now it surrounds us. Darktrace is already active within the NHS, the U.K. power grid, and many other major parts of Britain's critical infrastructure and they are rapidly expanding around the globe. Dave Palmer was an MI5 anti-terror agent working on the 2012 London Olympics when he and some of his colleagues first bashed out the initial idea for what would become Darktrace. They wanted to create an A.I. cybersecurity system that was based on the human immune system, a system that differed from the traditional, reactive antivirus software approach. This system would look for abnormalities in a computer network's processes to target a wider range of more sophisticated cyber issues. In a TechCrunch talk in 2016, the freshly installed co-CEO of Darktrace, Poppy Gustafsson, is caught misleading the audience about the company's origins. She uses the TechCrunch stage to claim that the “spark” for the creation of Darktrace originally came from the mathematicians at Cambridge and downplayed the involvement of intelligence agencies like MI5, GCHQ, and the C.I.A. The TechCrunch moderator, Natasha Lomas, displayed some fine journalistic integrity on this occasion and asked for clarification. “So did the maths research come first and then you got together with the spies. Which way round was it?” asked the intrepid Lomas. Gustafsson squirms a little before saying, “it was exactly that. First the machine learning that was talking about how to critique a computer to help it understand itself. And then it was the, um, experts from the government intelligence agencies who thought ‘ooh, this could be applied to the problem of cybersecurity.'” But that statement was an outright lie and Gustafsson isn't the most skilled deceiver. Gustafsson, who was initially CFO and COO for the fledgling Darktrace, runs the company alongside the other co-CEO Nicole Eagen, an alumnus of Oracle, a major tech company that also has its origins in intelligence. Both parts of Darktrace's female power duo were brought over from Invoke Capital by Darktrace's initial angel investor and advisory boardmember, UK billionaire Dr. Mike Lynch OBE. Describing himself as the “UKs answer to Bill Gates“, Dr. Mike Lynch is lauded as one of the most influential investors in the tech sector. His previous successful endeavours had been with Autonomy, a tech firm that has Lynch caught up in a legal wrangle with HP over the fraudulent inflation of its valuation, and Blinkx, a video search company where Lynch was later forced to step down from the board. Yet, Darktrace is not just one man working alone. The company boasts that over 4000 organisations worldwide now rely on Darktrace's A.I. technologies. With headquarters in San Francisco, US, and Cambridge, UK, Darktrace has over 1300 employees spread across 44 countries and their numbers are rising. And although the connections to the state intelligence agencies are clear and obvious, Darktrace is officially a completely private enterprise with big investors including KKR, Summit Partners, Vitruvian Partners, Samsung Ventures, TenEleven Ventures, Hoxton Ventures, Talis Capital, Invoke Capital and Insight Venture Partners. Sitting alongside the controversial Dr. Mike Lynch OBE on the advisory board for Darktrace are some seriously influential people deeply connected to US and UK intelligence agencies. If you were to walk into the advisory boardroom at Darktrace, you could be forgiven for thinking that you were actually attending a U.K. Home Office meeting from the past. The former Home Secretary under Prime Minister Theresa May, Amber Rudd, became part of Darktrace after her time in government ended in 2019. She is also on the advisory team of Teneo, a consulting firm co-founded and led by Doug Band, the former advisor to Bill Clinton and close friend of the infamous Jeffrey Epstein. As always, when investigating the murky world of intelligence, many connections to Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell are revealed. With that being said, yet another member of Darktrace's advisory board also has Epstein/Maxwell links. The C.I.A. stalwart, Alan Wade, is one of the most interesting members of the Darktrace advisory team. He was announced as joining their growing advisory board on 10 May 2016 and had been the former Chief Information Officer of the Central Intelligence Agency. His thirty- five year career at the top echelons of the C.I.A. ended in 2006 and afterwards he would dedicate his time to assisting companies with C.I.A. links from the private sector. While he had been at one of the top posts in the entire U.S. intelligence community, Wade co-founded Chiliad alongside Ghislaine Maxwell's sister, Christine Maxwell. As Unlimited Hangout reported earlier this year, Christine Maxwell was personally involved in leading the opeartions of the front company used by Robert Maxwell to market the PROMIS software, which had a backdoor for Israeli intelligence, to both the U.S.' public and private sectors. Given this history, it is certainly telling that Wade would choose to co-found a major software company with Christine Maxwell of all people. Cybereason – From Offensive, State-Sponsored Hackers to A.I. Cybersecurity As we have experienced at other memorable moments in history, coincidental simulations prior or during any intelligence agency led manipulated event are commonplace. On this occasion, a company named Cybereason is here to provide us with a short glimpse of our pending fearful futures. In multiple simulations Cybereason has run over the last few years, they have been gaming out how potential cyberattacks could cause unthinkable disaster for the U.S. 2020 election. Cybereason's CEO and co-founder is an enigmatic former Israeli Intelligence agent Lior Div-Cohen, often simply referred to as Lior Div. Div, an IDF Medal of Honor recipient and former Israeli Unit 8200 member, co-founded Cybereason in 2012 alongside Yossi Naar and Yonatan Striem-Amit, who are also fellow veterans of Israel's military cybersecurity corps. A scholar from the Academic College of Tel-Aviv, Lior Div afterwards worked as a software engineer for Xacct a network service provider followed by the notorious firm Amdocs, which was accused of eavesdropping on American government officials on behalf of Israel. In between Amdocs and Cybereason, Lior Div was the CEO and co-founder of Israeli cybersecurity firm AlfaTech which is described in its national media as“a cybersecurity services company for Israeli government agencies.” Some of the simulations that Cybereason have hosted over the past two years lead us to election day. In a video entitled: 2018 -10 Hacking the Vote from a scenario and simulation which was actually entitled Blackout; Protect the Vote, the simulation examines which parts of an election day processes were vulnerable to hackers. They make clear from the start it won't be all about voting machines themselves. Operation Blackout Nolandia, the fictional city which was ground zero during Operation Blackout, was based on an average American city nestled within a crucial swing state on election day. Here in Nolandia, three teams of cyber-fighters would battle with each other over control of the city. These would be the three teams each with succinct roles in the polling day pretence, as told to us by Cybereason's Ross Rustici and Sam Curry: Red Team AKA Broken Eagle Task Force: The basic aim of the Broken Eagle's Task Force was to disrupt the election processes in real time. The Red's approach evolved throughout the simulation from causing as much harm as they could into making the result of the election as in doubt and politically biased as possible. They attempted to control the narrative that the system was broken and that the elections could not be trusted. Blue Team AKA Nolandia Event Task Force: The Blue's were fundamentally reactive during the simulation and were constantly on the backfoot. The Blue's, responding to a reported gas leak at a Nolandia polling station early in the scenario, contacted the Secretary of State's office to ask whether they needed to close the polling station. Luckily, the real State Department had two advisors sitting in on the simulation who were able to offer alternative contingency plans that existed in real world America. By the end of the simulation, the Blue's were all aware that they had largely failed the exercise. White Team AKA White Control Team: This team acted as support to give advice or permission to either team, in a role very much like the Dungeon Master in a D&D game. The White's main task was to balance the realism of the scenario and create problems for either team that they'd experience in the real world. In November 2019, Cybereason re-ran their election day attack simulation at an event in Washington D.C. and have run multiple simulations over the last year. The last imagined American city was called Adversaria. As the election day creeps ever closer, Cybereason have been releasing it's more well produced promo videos online. If you're paying very close attention then you will have noticed that Cybereason have spent all of October 2020 marketing heavily as their big day approaches. Representatives of Cybereason are being quoted in every mainstream scare story out there. Vice News released an article on 7 October entitled: “Hospitals Have Become ‘Prime Targets' for Crippling Ransomware Attacks,” where they quote Israel Barak, Cybereason's Chief Information Security Officer, the article states that Barak is “a cyber warfare expert at Cybereason, spent nine years in the Israel Defence Forces specialising in cyber defence systems.” And when Computer Weekly's Adam Scroxton, on 20 October, was reporting on the conviction of the six supposed Russian hackers in the famous NotPetya attack, Cybereason rolled out their CSO, Sam Curry, to give a statement. In a Wired article on 22 October titled: 12 Cyber Threats That Could Wreak Havoc on the Election, Wired explains: “The security firm Cybereason last year ran a series of tabletop exercises specifically looking at how real-world attacks might impact Election Day. One exercise focused on a hacktivist group—known in the exercise as “Kill Organized Systems (K-OS),” pun intended—that disrupted traffic lights and brought the election to a standstill by paralyzing the city's transportation system.” The media appearances for Cybereason have never come so thick and fast as they have this past October. One could even assume that these appearances are a media campaign leading up towards a big event.

Policy Exchange is hosting a series of podcasts on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and its broader consequences.  In this episode Michael Mosbacher asks Rt Hon Amber Rudd – Home Secretary from 2016 - 2018 – about how the UK responded to the 2018 Skripral poisonings in Salisbury, whether more could have been done then, what should be done now and how Britain should respond now to Ukraine's refugee crisis. Rudd is supportive of our sanctions against Russia and thinks they should be tougher - but also argues that they are unlikely to be effective as Putin, just like Iran, is unlikely to be responsive to the effect of sanctions. Some of the questions answered by Rt Hon Amber Rudd : • When did you learn about the Skripal poisoning? Did the news come as a shock or were we expecting that something like this might happen? • Did the Government do enough to respond to Russia's aggression in the aftermath of the Skripal poisoning? • After the Litvinenko & Skripal poisonings, how concerned should we be about further Russian attacks on British soil? • With your experience of Russia's actions, could the West have been better prepared for Russia's invasion? Did we sleepwalk into disaster? • There have been a series of deaths on British soil of opponents of Putin, eg Boris Berezovsky. In light of what we now know should these cases be reopened? • Has Brexit meant that there is less intelligence cooperation with other European countries? If there had been more such cooperation would we have been better prepared? • Russia has been seen as an ally in the War on Terror. Was this a mistake? 

Why in 2022 is there no position in the Cabinet solely dedicated to the job of Women and Equalities? Why is it always tagged onto another cabinet role? We hear from Amber Rudd who juggled the job of being Home Secretary, while she was also Work and Pensions Secretary and from Shadow Women and Equalities Minister Anneliese Dodds, who's also Chair of the Labour Party. There have been elections in India this week and one journalist who's been covering them is Rana Ayyub. She's an Indian, Muslim journalist who writes for the Washington Post but she's based in Mumbai. At the moment she's under extreme pressure because of her work. She's experiencing serious online abuse, so much so that international monitoring groups worry that her life is in danger. Anne Dickson's book, A Woman In Your Own Right: The art of assertive, clear and honest communication, was first published 40 years ago. It has been in print ever since. Anne outlines the skills and techniques she pioneered and why they are still relevant today. Our TV screens are full of Ukrainian refugees - mainly women and children - who are fleeing their country. However, we're increasingly seeing women who are staying. We hear from the Ukrainian MP, Inna Sovsun. In 2016 Rachael Denhollander became the first woman to publicly accuse the USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar of sexual assault. Rachael talks about her fight for justice and the impact on elite gymnastics culture. The singer and songwriter Betty Boo is back. The platinum success artist made a name for herself in the 1990s for her unapologetic attitude, and combination of Pop and Hip Hop music. Betty Boo has now released her first solo single in almost three decades.

Why in 2022 is there no position in the Cabinet solely dedicated to the job of Women and Equalities? Why is it always tagged onto another cabinet role? Emma talks to Amber Rudd who juggled the job of being Home Secretary while she was Work and Pensions Secretary too. Plus, Shadow Women and Equalities Minister Anneliese Dodds, who's also Chair of the Labour Party. When the war in Ukraine was just unfolding we spoke to Iryna Terlecky who's Chair of the Association of Ukrainian Women in Great Britain. Since then she's has been busy responding to the refugee crisis by representing the Ukrainian community in meetings with the Government, talking to both Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, and with the Home Secretary Priti Patel. Emma spoke to her about what she makes of the latest government response to what's going on. Do you think motherhood gets enough recognition? We meet Agnes Agyepong, the founder of the Glomama Awards, a space celebrating the achievements of mothers, and one of this year's winners, Safiyya Vorajee. Plus, why more and more organisations are seeking out staff and volunteers with direct experiences to help them front campaigns, fundraise and inform policy. We hear from Tom Quinn, Director of External Affairs at Beat, the UK's Eating Disorder Charity and Miriam Taylor, a psychotherapist and author who specialises in trauma about why is it so important to have people with what's termed "lived experience" and why safeguards must be in place to protect them.

It seems fitting to conclude the 10 Point Pod following the conclusion of COP26, just down the road. The United Nations' delayed jamboree provided an ideal opportunity for the government to highlight its plans and reflect on the international nature of the challenge at hand.  Helping shed light on this in this episode, and reflecting on the whole span of The 10 Point Pod boxset, are EY's UK&I Energy Market Leader Rob Doepel, and former Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Amber Rudd. While the 10 Point Pod is ending, it is clear that there are plenty of twists and turns along the road. More clarity will come from the government and there are likely to be a number of surprises, challenges and successes from industry.  Energy Voice helps organisations understand the geopolitical, economic and financial factors that underpin market events, and give you a view on what's coming over the horizon. As a listener to this podcast, you can get a free trial of energyvoice.com, giving you two weeks of unrestricted access to the latest crucial news and insight.

Ex-cabinet minister Amber Rudd at COP. The former home secretary – and energy secretary at the time of the last historic climate conference – joins Adam in Glasgow to look at how much progress has been made in the first few days of this summit. And Laura and Chris are in Westminster where the Tory MP Owen Paterson has quit after being found to have broken lobbying rules. The row involved an embarrassing U-turn for the government and brought back questions about trust in politics. Not usually one to go easy on Boris Johnson, Amber Rudd thinks Number 10's handling of it all was an “epic and baffling” mistake. Today's Newscast was made by Danny Wittenberg. The assistant editors were Alison Gee and Sam Bonham. The editor is Jonathan Aspinwall.

The starting gun has fired on COP26, and the UK now has less than two weeks to get around 200 countries over the line towards stronger commitments on climate action. It's not going to be easy. Of the 25 COPs that have gone before, only one produced concrete targets for change. That was the 2015 Paris climate conference - aka COP21 - where two new ideas were launched onto the international stage: keeping average global temperature rises below 1.5C, and the notion of aiming for 'net zero'. Women were at the forefront of the Paris negotiations and we unite three of those women in a Woman's Hour COP special - Laurence Tubiana, France's Climate Change Ambassador and Special Representative for COP21 - who many recognise as the main architect of the Paris Agreement; Amber Rudd, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change at the time of Paris and the then leader of the UK's COP21 negotiating team; and Jennifer Morgan, one of a group of women who brought the idea of Net Zero to the global stage during Paris. She is now Executive Director of Greenpeace International. They discuss women's role in Paris's success, the origin story of net zero, the successes and failings of global governments in delivering on their promises, and their hopes for COP26 bringing about necessary change.

After briefly being sidetracked over the departure of our favourite Guardian columnist, we take a dive into the history of black radical politics in the UK with the celebrated writer, musician and like 10 other jobs Chardine Taylor Stone. From the 1945 Pan-African Congress in Manchester organised by George Padmore and Kwame Nkrumah, to the Windrush deportations organised by Amber Rudd, Chardine paints a warm but so often tragic tale of black political life in Britain. We also discuss whether the Queen's Gambit actor and Arg*ntine Anya Taylor-Joy is really a POC (no lol). /// SHOW NOTES /// /// CREDITS /// Hosts: Aarjan /// Ruairi Guest: Chardine Taylor Stone Production: Aarjan Music: Cardio /// Toots and the Maytals - Pressure Drop

Former home secretary Amber Rudd is Acting Prime Minister in this week's podcast episode.She tells host Paul Brand why she thinks the government should not proceed with instating a 'free speech champion'.Why she's sad about the way the Tory Party has changed since she left, and why she'd fire all the men in government and have an all female Cabinet.Remember to like, subscribe and rate us five stars.

As the Government prepares for the huge leap of unlocking, can it manage expectations from both a weary public and its own restive MPs? Rishi Sunak is about to announce potentially the most painful budget in a decade. Can he pull the Tories’ pre-COVID policy aims out of deep freeze? And how will Conservative MPs feel about “building back better” with more social housing in their own constituencies?This week’s special guests are Mo Hussein, former special advisor to Amber Rudd and chief press officer in No.10, and IfG fellow John McTernan, former senior advisor to Tony Blair. “The government’s line is often ‘we’d love to do this but our scientists won’t let us.’” – Cath Haddon“The idea that absolutely everyone in Whitehall is knuckling down to work on COVID is just fanciful.” – John McTernan“The big question is, is fiscal conservatism dead or just hibernating?” – Gemma Tetlow“Sajid Javid resigned over independence, but Sunak has been the most independent Chancellor we’ve had for a long time. He’s even got his own branding and infographics” .” – John McTernanPresented by Hannah White with Cath Haddon, Maddy Thimont-Jack and Gemma Tetlow.

Formaður velferðarnefndar vill að Bragi Guðbrandsson hætti strax við framboð til Barnaréttarnefndar Sameinuðu þjóðanna. Hann njóti ekki lengur trausts. Félgasmálaráðherra vill bíða niðurstöðu óháðrar úttektar á afskiptum Braga af barnaverndarmáli. Fyrri ljósbogaofn kísilvers PCC á Bakka verður settur í gang í kvöld. Tekist hefur að leysa ýmis vandamál sem komið hafa upp síðustu daga og tafið fyrir gangsetningu. Tollar á fjölmargar tegundir matvöru frá Evrópusambandinu verða lækkaðir eða afnumdir á morgun. Formaður Félags atvinnurekenda segir að neytendur muni finna vel fyrir breytingunum. Efling, VR og Verkalýðsfélags Akraness munu krefjast þess í komandi kjarasamningum að lög verði sett til að tryggja réttindi leigjenda. Eftir margra ára þrengingar sjást loksins vísbendingar um efnahagsbata í Grikklandi, að mati Efnahags- og framfarastofnunarinnar í París. Breskir ráðherrar komast sjaldnast upp með að greina þinginu rangt frá og ,,óvart" er engin afsökun eins og Amber Rudd fyrrum innanríkisráðherra fékk að reyna.

The Home Secretary Amber Rudd Resigns - listen to our cross-party panel with Jordan Thorpe, Scott Addison, Andrew Baxter and Liam Martin-Lane as they join Ashley Bullard to discuss why Amber Rudd has had to go, what it means for the government and who might replace her.

Málefni innflytjenda hafa verið mjög til umræðu í Bretlandi að undanförnu. Tilefnið er staða fólks sem kom með skipinu Windrush frá Jamæka árið 1948. Þetta fólk hefur lifað og starfað í Bretlandi síðan en nú er litið svo á að það hafi ekki öðlast þegnrétt. Þessi afstaða sætir harðri gagnrýni og þess er krafist að Amber Rudd innanríkisráðherra segi af sér, og ýmislegt rifjað upp um tíma Theresu May í því embætti 2010 til 2016. Sigrún Davíðsdóttir sagði frá. - Fjölmiðlun í heiminum hefur tekið miklum breytingum á síðustu árum og segja má að háð sé varnarbarátta til að gæta þess hlutverks klassískrar blaðamennsku að veita bestu fáanlegar og óvilhallar upplýsingar. Margir dreifa falsfréttum eða afneita staðreyndum. Jafnvel má segja að það geysi stríð í upplýsingaheimum. Rætt var vítt og breitt um fjölmiðlun heimsins og þær áskoranir sem fjölmiðlar, stjórnvöld og eftirlitsstofnanir standa frammi fyrir. Elfa Ýr Gylfadóttir, framkvæmdastjóri Fjölmðlanefndar, var gestur Morgunvaktarinnar. - Í fyrsta sinn í nærri sex áratugi ber leiðtogi Kúbu ekki eftirnafnið Castro. Miguel Díaz-Canel tók við embætti forseta Kúbu fyrir helgi. Hann er tæpum þremur áratugum yngri en forveri sinn Raul Castro, en hefur lagt áherslu á að ný kynslóð við völd þýði ekki endilega miklar breytingar. Vera Illugadóttir sagði frá nýjum leiðtoga Kúbu. - Þingkosningar fara fram á Grænlandi á morgun. Stjórnin ætti að halda góðum meirihluta, vilji núverandi stjórnarflokkar vinna áfram saman. Um hvað er tekist og hvert stefna Grænlendingar? Meirihluti Dana vill að Grænland verði áfram hluti að danska ríkjasambandinu. Er grundvöllur fyrir sjálfstæði Grænlands? Rasmus Gjedssø Bertelsen, prófessor í Tromsö, er sérfræðingur í málefnum norðurslóða. Hann ræddi stöðu mála á Grænlandi, sambandið við Danmörk og framtíðarhorfur. - Þættinum lauk á laginu Sommerkjoledyr sem Kari Bremnes flutti.

Eddie Mair: You were sitting next to Boris Johnson during the speech, do you think people want Bernard Manning as foreign secretary? Amber Rudd: I dont quite agree with that approach, I think that the foreign secretary has an important job to do and will be getting on and doing it. EM: I want to ask you about Theresa May's judgement in appointing and keeping Boris Johnson as foreign secretary. As you know he said last night that the Libyan city Sirte "could be the new Dubai” adding “all they have to do is clear the dead bodies away.” He hasn't apologised, why doesn't she sack him? AR: The prime minister can appoint her own cabinet, we know that, Boris has set out his full explanation of why EM: …no he hasn't, he has merely criticised the critics. AR: He has set out his view on the situation in Sirte, he has expanded on it, and you know what… EM: “He has said that it's a shame that people with no knowledge or understanding of Libya want to play politics” he said... AR: I think he said a bit more than that. EM: Well I can read the rest of the quote but he didn't apologise. AR: Well by all means if you really think the public…I didn't suggest that he had, that was your phrase. I'm not going to be drawn further down the Boris vortex Eddie, but I'm very happy to discuss anything else in the speech or the policies that are really relevant to people at home. EM: Well I think foreign policy is relevant isn't it, as well as the Conservative MPs who think he should go, Guma El-Gamaty the leader of the of the Taghyeer Party and a member of the UN backed Libyan political dialogue process said this about those comments: "It upsets me because it comes from a very high ranking official who is in charge of the foreign policy of the united kingdom. And it upsets me because it totally disregards the human aspect of the young Libyans who died." Again, I ask you about Theresa May's judgement in appointing and keeping Boris Johnson as foreign secretary. AR: It is up to the Prime Minister who she appoints and keeps. EM: Why doesn't she sack him? AR: As I say it is up to the Prime Minister. EM: And I'm asking about her judgement. When she appointed him she knew he had published a poem about the Turkish president having sex with a goat. She knew he had described president Obama as part Kenyan. She knew he had referred to "Papua New Guinea style orgies of cannibalism and chief killing." She knew he talked about tribal warriors in Congo breaking out in watermelon smiles. And she knew he said that Liverpool had failed to acknowledge the role what he called “drunken fans” played in the Hillsborough disaster. I suggest to you the reason Theresa May doesn't sack him is because she fears a leadership challenge. She is prepared to send out Boris Johnson to represent the United Kingdom around the world in order to protect her own job. AR: Well those are your views Eddie. EM: I'm suggesting it to you, what do you think? AR: You can and I , well I think that Boris Johnson does a great job as foreign secretary in many ways, i know he has a colourful way of expressing things sometimes EM: Colourful! AR: And the comments that if other people can get upset by are sometimes I agree ill judged, but I don't think we should condemn him from some from one particular issue that he might have attacked inappropriately. EM: What one particular issue, I gave you a whole list! My question was about Theresa May's judgement. AR: I trust her judgement Eddie. EM: The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd.
