Today the same Merry Tales are sold from about 50% of the Advertisement on the internet. How would it be if you believe in yourself, in your capabilities, instead to trust any internet advertisement?I can tell you stories from me where I was incurable ill and healed them all by myself.

Also, I had strong scoliosis. I always said to these awful doctors and even to the best orthopedic doctors… You are wrong! I did the opposite what they have recommended to me.And today my back is straight and better than before. Why? Because I did the opposite what the doctors were telling me!!!Question: Do you still believe in these Titles or positions? You need just to be an American President then everything is true?! Or what? The people getting the positions or titles to exploit better people. I believe in God and never believe in anything until I have tried it out!!!For me is God real, so real like you!Before, I was an atheist who got never baptized in any Religion… I don't need to be baptized, or I don't need any Religion, to be religious…. For what? Religions want to sell their dreams to become rich. And do you think that any sold strategy of the internet had helped me…? For sure not!! Because all of these B.S. strategies offered on the internet to cure your back has only one idea to make money… Trust yourself, trust God and never trust anybody who makes a living with:I have an easy strategy with miracles cure…With my strategy, everybody is getting richI always win on the stock market…There will rarely be any strategy that is easy to implement and gives you all that you want!You don't get anything for free… only this block… My Video: Selling Dreams and delivering B.S. https://youtu.be/eYzylcZJZlIMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/Selling-Dreams-and-delivering-B.S..mp3

I asked Judith Collins yesterday, just what has become of us? The “us” I was referring to is this country. But I amended that in my mind yesterday afternoon when I read the first review of Jake Tapper's book on Joe Biden. What's become of all of us, is now the question. "Biden didn't recognise George Clooney at a fundraiser", was your headline. Tapper is making money out of a book on a subject he should have been all over four years ago, but wasn't. Most of the American media in particular weren't. They knew Biden was what he was, but it didn't seem to matter then. But now that they can make a buck, it's a story. This was raised at the White House correspondents dinner, so it's not like they aren't aware of how this looks. Jacinda Ardern falls into the same category – destroy the country, run away to Boston, write a book and collect the money. It's shocking. Jannik Sinner, the tennis player in name, and act. He meets the Pope, having cut a deal with the doping authorities not to miss any majors and return to his home tournament a hero. And the daddy of them all is the current American President. He offers White House tours and a dinner if you buy his crypto. How is this possible? He tells you "it's a good time to buy" before he makes an announcement that he knows will move the markets. No one is seemingly doing anything about it. He is about to collect a plane for God's sake! That is quite obviously illegal, and yet, who is it that is going to do something about it? Winston Peters had his head in his hands when Brooke let the big word fly, and he lamented the lack of standards. All around us are seemingly new norms. There are more and more indicators that what was once the right way to go about business now doesn't matter. Punishments that once addressed indiscretions are now laughed at or negotiated away. Moral fibre that kept you on the straight and narrow is not just gone, but jettisoned and replaced by contempt and arrogance. If the President of America can bribe your crypto purchases, while flying on an illegal plane, former leaders can profit from negligence, and the Fourth Estate can pretend to be unbiased while ignoring the news and then cash in on their ineptitude, is it any wonder more and more of us long for the good old days?

Today marks 75 years since the Schuman Declaration. What started first and foremost as a peace project has developed into a European Union with a single market, an official currency for 20 EU countries and freedom of movement. However, at the age of 75, the European project is being attacked from the outside by a war right at its border and an American President questioning the decades long Trans-Atlantic relationship, but also faces challenges from within. To mark Europe Day, host Catarina Vila Nova sat down with Arancha González Laya, Dean of the Paris School of International Affairs at Sciences Po. González has previously held positions in the European Commission, United Nations, World Trade Organization and served as Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation of Spain. Sustainability, competitiveness and security are, according to González, the three biggest challenges facing the EU and countries can't afford to ignore any of them. There is space for disagreement, she adds, but that must be done within the rules of the game. If you want to comment on this episode you can send us an e-mail: press@friendsofeurope.org

John F. Kennedy was an American President in the early 1960's. That office is considered by many to be the most powerful in the world. Apparently, when JFK was having important meetings at the White House, his son would sometimes wander in. John-John (as he was called) would walk over to his dad and sit on … Continue reading Who else could have that kind of access?

Cruinniú ag Uachtarán Mheiriceá le hUachtarán Zelensky sa Róimh. US President Donald Trump had a 15-minute conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Rome this morning. Bhí comhrá a mhair 15 nóiméad ag Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe Donald Trump le hUachtarán na hÚcráine Volodymyr Zelensky sa Róimh ar maidin. The meeting was held in St. Peter's Basilica before the funeral of Pope Francis. Tionóladh an cruinniú i mBaisleac Pheadair roimh shochraid an Phápa Proinsias. The White House said the two leaders had a ''very productive meeting''. Dúirt an Teach Bán go raibh ''cruinniú an-thairbheach'' ag an dá cheannaire. Ukrainian presidential spokesman Serhiy Nykyforov says arrangements are being made to hold further talks. Deir úrlabhraí uachtaránachta na hÚcráine Serhiy Nykyforov go bhfuil socruithe á ndéanamh chun tuilleadh cainteanna a reáchtáil. The President of Ukraine said that if the matters discussed today are achieved, it could be a historic meeting. Dúirt Uachtarán na hÚcráine má bhaintear na nithe a pléadh inniu amach go bhféadfadh sé tarlú gur cruinniú stairiúil a bhí ann. This was the first meeting between the Presidents since a heated meeting between the two leaders at the White House in Washington in February. Ba é seo an chéad chruinniú a bhí ag na hUachtaráin ó bhí cruinniú teasaí idir an dá cheannaire sa Teach Bán i Washington i Mí Feabhra. The American President left Rome on Air Force One after attending the Pope's funeral in Rome. D'fhág Uachtarán Mheiriceá an Róimh ar Air Force One i ndiaidh do freastal ar shochraid an Phápa sa Róimh. Following the meeting, President Trump criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin and said he is considering imposing further sanctions on Russia, something the Ukrainian President has repeatedly called for. I ndiaidh an chruinnithe, cháin an tUachtarán Trump, Uachtarán na Rúise Vladimir Putin agus dúirt sé go bhfuil sé i mbun macnaimh maidir le tuilleadh smachtbhannaí a ghearradh ar an Rúis, rud atá á lorg ag Uachtarán na hÚcráine arís agus arís eile. President Zelensky said that a complete ceasefire and how to achieve a peace that would last and prevent another war from starting were discussed. Dúirt an tUachtarán Zelensky gur pléadh sos comhairc iomlán agus conas síocháin a mhairfeadh agus a chuirfeadh stop le cogadh eile tosnú a bhaint amach. Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Ukraine continue. Idir an dá linn, leanann ionsaithe na Rúise ar an Úcráin. The President of the United States and the President of Ukraine are speaking in Rome this morning The President of the United States and the President of Ukraine are speaking in Rome this morning Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe agus Uachtarán na hÚcráine i mbun cainte sa Róimh ar maidin Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe agus Uachtarán na hÚcráine i mbun cainte sa Róimh ar maidin
The night after one of the deadliest attacks on Ukrainian civilians since Putin's invasion, the American President has gone all block caps, tweeting: 'I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS WAR'. He's clearly a bit rattled. He'd been briefed over the weekend - following talks between his own envoy and Putin - that a ceasefire was significantly nearer. Things, he told us on Saturday, were heading in the right direction. That was before Putin dropped his missiles on Sumy, a bustling city going to church on Palm Sunday. So does Donald Trump have no idea of Putin's mindset or moves? And should this tell us he has no way to bring about a ceasefire? We speak to the Ukrainian MP and youngest governor of Odessa Solomiia Bobrovska.Don't forget you can also subscribe to our other News Agents podcasts via the link below:https://linktr.ee/thenewsagentsThe News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal https://nordvpn.com/thenewsagents Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee
April 5 was the day of "Hands Off" protests all across the country for those voicing opposition to Trump's policies, including the newly imposed global tariffs. There is a growing movement of “righteous rage” that many see as absolving themselves from the basic demands of civility and legality. They are part of a rising class of American Jacobins — bourgeois revolutionaries increasingly prepared to trash everything, from Teslas to the Constitution. Yes, this is a reset—a Trump Reset. Would you rather have the guys at Davos do it or an American President? Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com), Clyde Lewis talks with Alan Johnson about TARIFFYING.

I regularly say to groups I speak to that your education gets you the interview, and your ability to tell your story gets you the job. In the time after you get the job, if it's a leadership role, you will be evaluated by your ability to engage with and influence your team. In the time after you get the job, if it's a leadership role, you will be evaluated by your ability to engage with and influence your team. Speak UP: We confer values and abilities on people who have good communication skills. For example, might I suggest American presidents Presidents who long after they finished their term of office are still often quoted. ~ John F. Kennedy - Inaugural Address ~ "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man". ~ Ronald Reagan ~ "Are you better off today than you were four years ago" A great election slogan - creatively swiped by another American President recently. ~ Barack Obama ~ "Cynicism is a choice. Hope is a better choice." My Favourite Speakers: In Ireland, I have my personal heroes, people capable of engaging and holding an audience in their palm. BIG Jim Larkin. (As depicted in Strumpet City written by James Plunkett, the first novel about Ireland I read, and still one of my favourites. John B Keane Tony O'Reilly Brendan Gleeson Mary O'Rourke The recent presidents of Ireland: ~ Mary Robinson ~ "Feel empowered. And if you start to do it, if you start to feel your voice heard, you will never go back". ~ Mary McAleese ~ "Change starts with us; we must be the change we want to see in the world". ~ Michael D. Higgins ~ "Now it is time to turn to an older wisdom that, while respecting material comfort and security as a basic right of all, also recognises that many of the most valuable things in life cannot be measured". The days of the great orators who could rouse a large gathering of people onto the public streets and into action are gone. Without a doubt, the presentation style and situations have changed, but the need for good communication is now an even greater requirement. The noise and distractions are greater than ever before, and you can be the person who steps up and demonstrates your ability to speak and represent your values. Step up to the mark: In your personal life, you will be called upon to speak at important business and personal events weddings, funerals, retirement parties etc. Situations that are critical to get right not only for yourself but for the people you are speaking to. You can refuse to be the person who accepts such challenges and probably become the hurler on the ditch at the event. Or, you can step forward, show leadership and be the person people want to hear. If you are the person who wishes to take Obamas advice and resist cynicism while providing hope, find a coach who can help you find your voice and tell your story.

The crypto world has had an interesting 2025 so far. It all started in late January 2025 after President Trump, a big crypto fan took office. President Trump proclaimed his love for all things crypto before launching his meme coin earlier this year. Elon Musk, his BFF and head of Trump's new DOGE department has been promoting various cryptocurrencies. All of this has resulted in a big uptake in people buying cryptocurrencies. Two days before President Trump was sworn in, Bitcoin hit a high of $104,536.90. This was due to the new American President being a big crypto fan, and the fact he is looking to launch an official American digital currency. All of this has helped to legitimise cryptocurrencies and prompt various countries to investigate launching their own digital currencies. Irish Tech News can exclusively reveal that the Irish Government has kept a close eye on what President Trump has been doing in the Crypto World. Within days of the current Government forming, the cabinet took time out from the speaking row debacle to launch a feasibility study on Ireland having their own digital currency. The Minister of Finance, Pascal Donohoe, got the boffins in the Department of Finance's new digital hub, Crypto Revolutionary Universal Digital (CRUD). The head of CRUD, Professor Rashers O'Toole, quickly got the buckos under him working on this. Professor O'Toole told Irish Tech News "With tariffs on the way, we had to act fast to protect the Irish economy. The only logical way of doing this was to invest in our own digital currency. " Once the feasibility study showed beyond doubt that an Irish digital currency had great potential, the next step was to think up a name for the new Irish digital asset. Professor O'Toole explained what happened next. "The team in CRUD brainstormed over various names before coming up with a shortlist. The following names were on the shortlist, The Lucky Charms Coin, The Leprechaun Coin, and The Shamrock Coin. "The shortlist was soon whittled down to the Shamrock Coin after various focus groups were held. One major point that was brought up in the focus groups, was that The Shamrock Coin name was too cliched and the name was shortened to the Sham Coin." When the Taoiseach met President Trump last month, he privately disclosed the idea of creating an Irish digital coin. President Trump was said to be enthusiastic and over the moon at what Ireland is planning to do. "This could be the second greatest thing after the Trump meme coin." Is what President is said to have told our Taoiseach Micheal Martin before he left the White House. The possibilities, for crypto is endless, and the Irish Government are convinced that they are on to a winner. After various setbacks involving, housing, health, bike sheds and phone pouch's, the Government need to get the general public back on side. Various opinion polls over the past couple of months have not been kind too the Government and something like this will help get them back in the general public's good books. Ministers Martin, Harris and Donohoe, are not yet in the last chance saloon hoping this gamble pays off. Crypto Coin future plans Plans are now in full swing to launch the Sham Coin before the summer, but before that can happen a sale price has to be agreed. The consensus at this moment in time is to make the Sham Coin price affordable, so that as many as possible can buy it. In the next couple of months Minister Donohoe, and Professor O'Toole will hold a press conference to launch the Sham Coin, so keep an eye out for that. See more stories here.
President Trump is gearing up to impose a new slew of tariffs on trade partners on April 2, a day he has dubbed “Liberation Day” to signify that America will free itself from unfair trade practices. This day certainly looms large for European nations. The American President has been scathing about European Union's trade policies. So how hard could Europe be hit? How might the region respond? And how can investors protect themselves? Dean Turner, the CIO's chief European economists, explores these issues with co-hosts Christopher Swann and Belinda Peeters.

This week on the Global Research News Hour, we focus on the differences in American foreign policy resulting from the newly sworn in president Donald Trump and how it is changing not only international wars but even the alliances within the world order. In our first half hour, author and journalist Ron Ridenour reports on the recent Greenland election and how the result was reflected and impacted by the promise of the American President's Annexation threat. Then in our second half hour, frequent Global Research News Hour commentator Jack Rasmus reflects on the reasons for Trump's approach of making threats to allies and meeting with supposed enemies, all in the name of building peace in our world and making America strong again.
This Day in Legal History: Bloody SundayOn March 7, 1965, a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement unfolded in Selma, Alabama. A group of 525 peaceful demonstrators, led by activists like John Lewis and Hosea Williams, began a march to Montgomery to demand voting rights for Black Americans. As they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge, they were met by Alabama state troopers and local law enforcement, who brutally attacked them with billy clubs and tear gas. The violent crackdown, later known as "Bloody Sunday," left at least 65 people injured and shocked the nation. Television broadcasts of the assault galvanized public support for civil rights, prompting federal intervention. After securing court protection, a second attempt on March 9, led by Martin Luther King Jr., was turned around peacefully to avoid further violence. Finally, under federal protection, thousands of marchers resumed the journey on March 21, arriving in Montgomery on March 25 with 25,000 people. The march directly contributed to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which outlawed discriminatory voting practices. "Bloody Sunday" remains a defining moment in the struggle for racial justice in America, symbolizing both the brutality of oppression and the power of collective resistance.President Donald Trump issued an executive order targeting Perkins Coie LLP, citing the firm's role in commissioning the Steele dossier during the 2016 election and its diversity hiring practices. The order suspends security clearances for Perkins Coie employees and directs federal agencies to review and potentially terminate contracts with the firm and its business partners. It also instructs the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Justice Department to investigate racial discrimination policies at major law firms, referencing Perkins Coie's past use of racial hiring quotas. The directive extends to restricting Perkins Coie employees from entering federal buildings and limiting their engagement with government officials.Trump's move comes after similar actions against Covington & Burling for its representation of former special counsel Jack Smith. The executive order frames Perkins Coie as a national security risk, linking its past election law litigation to alleged threats against democratic integrity. It also mandates that federal contractors disclose business ties to the firm, aiming to cut off government funds to entities associated with it. The order's broader scope signals heightened scrutiny of “Big Law” firms, especially those engaged in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Trump's administration has pushed back against race-conscious hiring practices, aligning the order with prior efforts to dismantle DEI policies in education and employment.Perkins Coie, a longtime legal adviser to Democrats, denounced the order as unlawful and vowed to challenge it. The firm has been at the center of Republican criticism over election-related litigation and its former attorneys' ties to Democratic campaigns. The administration's focus on law firms suggests a broader effort to reshape the legal industry's relationship with the federal government.Trump Targets Law Firms Over Steele Dossier, Diversity Moves (1)A federal judge reinstated Gwynne Wilcox to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), ruling that former President Donald Trump lacked the authority to fire her. Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia found Trump's dismissal of Wilcox violated legal protections for independent agency members, emphasizing that the president's removal powers are not absolute. Howell's decision strongly reaffirmed Humphrey's Executor v. United States(1935), which upheld restrictions on presidential firings of independent agency officials.The ruling restores the NLRB's quorum, allowing it to issue decisions again, but the Trump administration immediately appealed, seeking to block Wilcox's return. Howell's opinion included a sharp rebuke of Trump's attempts to assert unchecked presidential authority, stating, “An American President is not a king.” She pointed to longstanding legal precedent that limits the president's power to remove officials from multi-member independent agencies, dating back to the Interstate Commerce Commission's creation in 1887.Trump's legal team argued that Wilcox's firing was justified under the Supreme Court's 2020 Seila Law v. CFPB decision, which expanded presidential removal power over single-agency heads. However, Howell rejected this claim, noting that NLRB members' powers resemble those of the Federal Trade Commission members protected under Humphrey's Executor. The ruling marks the third time a court has reversed Trump's firings of agency officials, signaling a broader legal battle over executive authority that may reach the Supreme Court. Wilcox's attorney praised the decision as a victory for the independence of federal agencies, while the Justice Department has not yet commented.Fired NLRB Member Reinstated in Decision Nixing Trump Move (4)A coalition of 20 Democrat-led states, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, has sued the Trump administration over mass firings of federal workers. Filed in a Maryland federal court, the lawsuit argues that President Donald Trump illegally dismissed tens of thousands of employees without proper notice or justification. The states seek to reinstate the workers and block further terminations.Trump's efforts to shrink the federal workforce have already faced legal pushback. A judge recently reinstated a National Labor Relations Board member fired by Trump, and another court temporarily halted the administration's directive to fire new hires en masse. Additionally, a federal workforce board reinstated thousands of employees at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have framed the firings as part of a campaign to eliminate government inefficiency and waste. However, critics, including the states in this lawsuit, argue that the dismissals violate labor laws and undermine public service. The case adds to mounting legal challenges against Trump's sweeping efforts to reshape the federal bureaucracy.Democrat-led states join legal fight over Trump's mass firings of federal workers | ReutersThe Trump administration is planning to shut down nearly a dozen U.S. diplomatic missions, primarily in Western Europe, as part of a broader effort to reduce government spending and reshape foreign policy. The State Department is also considering merging several Washington-based expert bureaus focused on human rights, refugees, and global criminal justice. Additionally, U.S. embassies worldwide have been instructed to cut at least 10% of their American and locally employed staff.The proposed closures include consulates in Germany, France, Italy, Brazil, and Portugal, though officials say some locations may be spared. The administration argues these cuts align with Trump's “America First” agenda and his campaign promise to reduce the so-called "deep state." Critics warn that reducing the U.S. diplomatic presence, along with cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), could weaken American global influence and create openings for adversaries like China and Russia.Congress has been notified of the plan to close the U.S. consulate in Gaziantep, Turkey, a key hub for Syrian humanitarian aid. In Washington, dozens of State Department contractors have been terminated, including those handling Afghan refugee resettlement. Diplomats working on Asian affairs have been asked to justify their missions' alignment with Trump's policies. The administration's deep cuts to foreign aid and staffing have already resulted in thousands of USAID workers being laid off and billions in humanitarian aid being eliminated.Trump administration weighs closure of nearly a dozen diplomatic missions abroad | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Maurice Ravel.Our theme is Piano Concerto in G - I. Allegramente by Maurice Ravel, a composer known for his shimmering orchestration and masterful blend of classical form with modern harmonies. Born on March 7, 1875, Ravel was a key figure in early 20th-century music, often associated with Impressionism, though he resisted the label. His Piano Concerto in G, composed between 1929 and 1931, reflects his fascination with jazz, which he encountered during a trip to the United States. The first movement, Allegramente, is bright and rhythmic, opening with a whip-crack that sets the tone for its energy and playfulness. Ravel weaves in blues-inspired harmonies, rapid piano flourishes, and sparkling orchestral textures, creating a piece that feels both spontaneous and carefully crafted. Despite its liveliness, the movement is meticulously structured, showcasing Ravel's precision and attention to detail. The concerto as a whole balances virtuosic brilliance with lyricism, particularly in the dreamy second movement. Ravel himself admitted he aimed for a work that was “light and brilliant,” rather than deep or profound. Yet, in its elegance and wit, the concerto captures the vibrancy of early 20th-century musical innovation. As the spirited Allegramente unfolds, it serves as a fitting farewell to the week—playful, energetic, and bursting with color.Without further ado, Piano Concerto in G - I. Allegramente by Maurice Ravel. Enjoy! This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Given the continued development of many illegal settlements, it will be even more difficult for the US to be a neutral broker. UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) has 13,000 employees, but only 5 have been accused of collaborating with Hamas. UNRWA is critical to providing educational, nutritional and medical assistance to the Palestinians. Without a two-state solution, it will be difficult not to have an official Apartheid System. Emphasis should focus on humanitarianism to get more aid and revitalize UN operations on the ground such as UNRWA and the World Food Progra
One of the most eye-catching decisions by Donald Trump since becoming American President for a second time was to freeze foreign aid. USAID is the agency that's given billions of dollars to global projects, from disaster relief to fighting malaria. With this decision there will be a big hole in global financing, one that could potentially be filled by other leading global countries, such as China. President Xi has already upped China's foreign spending in places like Africa. Chinese investing in huge infrastructure projects abroad isn't new, but could they use America's decision to their advantage and extend their influence around the world? Shawn Yuan, from the BBC's Global China Unit, explains how Chinese aid models differ from the US. We also hear from Janice Nkajja, a Ugandan TikToker and social justice activist whose video went viral when USAID was frozen. And Daniel Dadzie, our reporter in Ghana, takes us through China's funding strategy in Africa.Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 0330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producers: Emily Horler, Josh Jenkins and Mora Morrison Editor: Harriet Oliver
A carefully worded letter from Ukraine's President Zelenskyy has made its way to Donald Trump - The News Agents have details on the role that the British government may have played in getting that message delivered to the American President. What's less clear is how Trump will respond - what happens now? He described Zelenskyy's letter as "important" - so why has he suspended intelligence sharing with Kyiv? And will there be any punishment for Russia in this “deal”? Plus, we're with the CEO of the Munich Security Conference, who led JD Vance on stage for that speech.Tickets to The News Agents Live On Stage with HSBC UK are now on sale!

There were smiles, laughs, and a few pats on the shoulder - the mood in the Oval Office felt at times amorous as Keir Starmer and Donald Trump got down to business. The Prime Minister appeared to have defied some of his harshest critics in DC, earning almost fawning praise from the American President and seemingly a series of wins - on tariffs, the Chagos islands, and on Ukraine. But if Donald Trump is a man who trades on personal relationships and rapport, will that positivity endure once Starmer has left the White House? And how much stock should Britain place in Trump's words, where he often delivers his message with ambiguity and sometimes even contradiction?Tickets to The News Agents Live On Stage with HSBC UK are now on sale!

Over just a few days, senior Trump officials declared that Ukraine should prepare to cede territory to Russia and that Europe is not likely to have a seat at the table during negotiations with Russia to end the war in Ukraine. They then closed the week with a history-making address by U.S. Vice President JD Vance at this year's Munich Security Conference in which he appeared to threaten the future of the US-Europe partnership wholesale. Richard Walker is DW's Chief International Editor, and joins the show to discuss the deteriorating Western front, its implications on world affairs, and why an American President would want to unravel 80 years of foreign policy on the European continent.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Sonia Sodha of The Observer assesses the latest developments at Westminster.How should the British government respond to Donald Trump? That question was again asked this week after the American President suggested the US could take over Gaza, removing Palestinian residents in order to redevelop the strip. Earlier in the week the President also threatened tariffs against allies such as Mexico, Canada and the EU. To discuss how the UK should navigate this tricky diplomatic terrain, Sonia speaks to Lord Darroch, former UK ambassador to the US, and Sir David Lidington, a former Conservative Cabinet minister and now chairman of the defence think tank RUSI.Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson, gave a major speech on Monday setting out her vision for England's schools. It follows criticism of her Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill which is currently going through Parliament. To debate the reforms Sonia is joined by Mary Bousted, a former general secretary of the National Education Union and now a Labour peer, and Neil O'Brien, a Conservative MP and former minister.Is the UK becoming less cohesive? Sara Khan, the government's former independent adviser on social cohesion and resilience, explains why she thinks there is a risk to democracy from declining social cohesion.And, as a new book charting Keir Starmer's rise to power sends the Westminster gossip machine into overdrive, Sonia speaks to one of the co-authors, Gabriel Pogrund of The Sunday Times, and Labour peer, Ayesha Hazarika.
It is true that tariffs are a tax on consumers! It is also true that previous efforts by American Presidents to impose tariffs have had disastrous effects on the United States' economy.

Hundreds of executive orders issued, hundreds of Biden's executive orders rescinded, people's lives already impacted, fake emergencies invented, loyalty tests being carried out, open middle finger at the rule of law & the Constitution, open politicization of all federal health information…by all intents & purposes, Donald Trump is a King.

A reality of our contemporary time, is the American President is increasingly acting as an Emperor. This interview explores the evolution of the imperial presidency, the implications of increased executive power, and a look behind the scenes of the West Wing in how it plays out in the day to day. We also get tangible examples of what can be done to improve the structural gaps existing in the constitution to stop an increased scope of the Executive. Yale Law Professor & Author Harold Koh joins the podcast to give us the context from his book highlighting the state of the Executive, "The National Security Constitution in the Twenty-First Century" With Harold we get into, the role of Congress and the courts, and the systemic dysfunction that has led to a concentration of power in the executive branch, ethical considerations of governance and the future of executive power in the United States. We also get into the evolution of executive power in the United States, examining how historical events have shaped the current political landscape.

OA1110 - For the first time in US history, an American President (both former and future) is facing criminal sentencing. We review Judge Juan Merchan's most recent ruling on Donald Trump's motion to dismiss his conviction for 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and the difficult balance that Merchan has struck in trying to weigh the jury's verdict and the rule of law itself against the fact that the defendant will be ten days away from regaining the nuclear codes as of the time of his scheduled hearing. We also review Aileen Cannon's recent probably-illegal desperate order to try to stop special counsel Jack Smith's report on Trump's many federal crimes from going public before trying to understand why Democrats would even consider signing on an extremely hard-right immigration bill which can only help to fuel Trump's mass deportation machine. How will the Laken Riley Act allow undocumented people to get away with nearly any theft offense, and give state AGs broad power over national immigration policy? Matt then drops a quick footnote on the questionable state of Rudy Giuliani's physical, mental, and legal health as two different federal judges consider just how contemptuous he has become before we circle back for some late-breaking updates in both of this episode's Trump stories.
