It's time to scrap the budget, argues political editor Tim Shipman this week. An annual fiscal event only allows the Chancellor to tinker round the edges, faced with a backdrop of global uncertainty. Endless potential tax rises have been trailed, from taxes on mansions, pensions, savings, gambling, and business partnerships, and nothing appears designed to fix Britain's structural problems. Does our economics editor Michael Simmons agree?Host Lara Prendergast is joined by co-host – and the Spectator's features editor – William Moore, alongside associate editor Owen Matthews and economics editor Michael Simmons. As well as the cover, they discuss: the corruption scandal that has weakened Ukraine's President Zelensky – could he be forced out; how global winds are taming meaning we're living through a ‘great stilling'; with new research alleging that Hitler had a micropenis – does it matter; how grief is natural and dead relatives shouldn't be digitised; whether Artificial Intelligence could be useful in schools; and finally, what Turkey could teach the UK about luxury healthcare.Plus: what did Owen learn on a mushroom retreat in Amsterdam – and why did William wait ten years to go to the dentist?Produced by Patrick Gibbons.The Spectator is trialling new formats for this podcast, and we would very much welcome feedback via this email address: podcast@spectator.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Fueled by passion, Dutch artist Vera Grace is steadily shaping her own space in Amsterdam's scene. Her sound continues to evolve, blending modular synthesis with hypnotic rhythms and deep mental trips that make you lose sense of time. She approaches DJing as a way to create something new through layering, while her productions focus on warped sound design. Her curiosity about modular synthesis opened a new dimension in her work. She started developing a fully live analog set and has recently begun performing with her modular system, constantly pushing her sound forward. Her most recent EPs, What Was Always There and Funktion Over Form, convey a clear essence in her sound. She moves fluidly between broken rhythms, ambient trips, psychedelic textures, and driving 4/4 tracks, all while staying true to the genre's roots. After graduating the Conservatorium of Amsterdam, Vera Grace is steadily forging her place in the scene, with performances at clubs like Radion, Grelle Forelle, Elysia, FVTVR, Tresor, and festivals such as Aquasella, Awakenings and DGTL already under her belt.

Huiselijk geweld komt lang niet altijd voor een rechter, zelfs als er een noodknop wordt ingedrukt. Het afgelopen jaar is femicide steeds hoger op de agenda gekomen, maar aan de moord op vrouwen gaat vaak veel vooraf: stalking, bedreigingen, herhaald huiselijk geweld. Zelfs wanneer daarvan aangifte wordt gedaan, belandt de zaak niet altijd bij een rechter. Slachtoffers kunnen dan in beroep gaan via een artikel-12-procedure, waarin een gerechtshof beoordeelt of het OM alsnog moet vervolgen. Maar die procedures vinden achter gesloten deuren plaats. Onderzoeksplatform Investico kreeg uitzonderlijk inzage in deze zaken van het gerechtshof Amsterdam. Ook zij wilden begrijpen hoe dit proces werkt, wat er precies gebeurt en of er patronen zichtbaar worden. Het onderzoek werd uitgevoerd door Jolanda van de Beld, Belia Heilbron en Bobby Uilen, in samenwerking met RTL. Er klinkt al langer kritiek op de manier waarop Nederland huiselijk geweld afhandelt. Maar in de regio Rotterdam is een nieuwe werkwijze ontwikkeld die, voorzichtige indicaties wijzen daarop, beter lijkt te werken.

Amcor's chief sustainability officer David Clark joins Ian Welsh to unpack the rapid rise of extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes and what well-designed systems can deliver. They discuss how eco-modulated fees can incentivise better packaging, why operational control for industry is critical and how EPR can strengthen recycling economics. They also reflect on the diverse approaches emerging across the US and globally, the design and material implications for brands, and what implementation challenges lie ahead as EPR continues to expand.   The 2026 sustainable packaging innovation forum series is now live, taking place in Amsterdam on 10-11 March 2026. Click here for information on how to get involved.

What happens when compassion, strength, and military medicine collide?In this Echo Episode, Dr. Andrea Austin speaks with Dr. Kat Landa, a Navy emergency physician whose career has taken her from a nontraditional path in medical school to a groundbreaking role as the first female battalion doctor assigned to a Marine Corps artillery unit.Kat recounts her childhood working in nursing homes, discovering medicine through geriatrics, and initially matching into family medicine before realizing her passion for emergency medicine. Her story takes a dramatic turn when she is unexpectedly assigned to 29 Palms as the first woman integrated into a previously all-male combat arms battalion—an environment shaped by intense hierarchy, alpha culture, and unspoken rules.She shares vividly, the shock of Marines lining up with “testicular pain” to see the new female doctor, navigating sexism, boundaries, and expectations to be the battalion's “warm fuzzy”, the emotional labor women physicians disproportionately shoulder, the traumatic burden many Marines carry through TBI, PTSD, and toxic norms, the deep meaning she found advocating for vulnerable service members—sometimes saving lives and how burnout, deployment, and personal crisis pushed her toward meditation and self-reclamation Dr. Landa's journey is raw, insightful, and deeply human, a reminder that leadership requires both backbone and heart, especially when systems aren't built with you in mind.You'll hear how they:Navigate gender bias and male-dominated culture while staying authenticBuild boundaries to survive overwhelming workloads and emotional laborUse compassion strategically—in 45-second doses—to transform patient interactionsAdvocate for Marines suffering from PTSD, TBI, and weight-related stigmaRecover from burnout through meditation, mindful routines, and self-care practicesFind strength in vulnerability and redefine what it means to lead in uniform If you've ever struggled to find your voice in a demanding system, this episode will move you, challenge you, and help you rediscover your center.About the Guest:“At your core, it's still just you—and you have control over you.” – Dr. Kat LandaDr. Kat Landa is a Navy emergency medicine physician whose career spans urgent care, family medicine internship, operational medicine with the Marine Corps, multiple deployments, and emergency department leadership.She was one of the first women assigned to a Marine Corps artillery battalion, where she learned to navigate gender dynamics, advocate for Marines suffering from invisible wounds, and lead with courage and compassion.Her interests include meditation, women's leadership, stress physiology, military wellness, and redefining what it means to thrive in demanding environments.

En 19-årig kvinde fra Ungarn var netop blevet mor, da hun stod i et neonrødt vindue i De Wallen i Amsterdam. Her arbejdede hun dag og nat for at komme fri af fattigdom, og hun var let at genkende i gadebilledet på sin store dragetatovering, der snoede sig over mave og bryst. Kvinderne i området beskrev hende som smilende og sød. Derfor blev det også bemærket en sen nattetime i februar, da der pludselig var helt stille fra hendes snævre arbejdslokale. Musikken plejede at være skruet så højt op, at den kunne høres ude på gaden, men nu var den slukket, og hun stod ikke længere på sin plads i vinduet. I dagens miniepisode kommer vi også forbi en mærkelig sag fra Nordsjælland, der blev kendt som ‘motorvejsmysteriet' i aviserne, og en ung kvinde i Finland, der hævnede sig på sin overgrebsmand. Desuden runder vi et royalt kidnapningsforsøg, et dobbeltdrab på en stille villavej og en kvindelig turist, der blev kastet i vandet i Nyhavn.

Transcript:Nl: Het was een grijze, regenachtige herfstdag in Amsterdam.En: It was a gray, rainy autumn day in Amsterdam.Nl: De straten glommen van de regen en de bomen langs de grachten verloren langzaam hun bladeren.En: The streets glistened with rain, and the trees along the canals were slowly shedding their leaves.Nl: In het Rijksmuseum was het drukker dan normaal, de hallen gevuld met het gemurmel van bezoekers die beschutting zochten tegen het slechte weer.En: Inside the Rijksmuseum, it was busier than usual, the halls filled with the murmurs of visitors seeking shelter from the bad weather.Nl: Midden in deze drukte bevonden Lars, Sanne en Hugo zich, elk met hun eigen reden om hier te zijn.En: Amidst this hustle and bustle were Lars, Sanne, and Hugo, each with their own reason to be there.Nl: Lars was op een missie.En: Lars was on a mission.Nl: Hij moest "De Nachtwacht" van Rembrandt goed bestuderen voor zijn scriptie over de Nederlandse meesters.En: He needed to study "The Night Watch" by Rembrandt thoroughly for his thesis on Dutch masters.Nl: Sanne, zijn zus, was meer geïnteresseerd in de tijd die ze met haar broer kon doorbrengen dan in het schilderij zelf, maar ze verveelde zich al snel.En: Sanne, his sister, was more interested in spending time with her brother than in the painting itself, but she got bored quickly.Nl: Hugo, Lars' energieke vriend, bewaarde zijn gebruikelijke geduld niet.En: Hugo, Lars' energetic friend, was not displaying his usual patience.Nl: Hij had liever door de straten van Amsterdam gewandeld, genietend van het nabijgelegen Sinterklaasfeest met zijn marsepein en chocoladeletters.En: He would have preferred wandering through the streets of Amsterdam, enjoying the nearby Sinterklaas festival with its marsepein and chocolate letters.Nl: "Kom op, Lars," zei Hugo ongeduldig terwijl ze zich een weg baanden door de menigte.En: "Come on, Lars," Hugo said impatiently as they maneuvered through the crowd.Nl: "Hoe lang denk je dat dit gaat duren?"En: "How long do you think this will take?"Nl: Lars glimlachte, zichtbaar geconcentreerd.En: Lars smiled, visibly concentrated.Nl: "Ik wil gewoon even een goed zicht op het schilderij.En: "I just want to get a good look at the painting.Nl: Het is belangrijk voor mijn onderzoek."En: It's important for my research."Nl: Ze wurmden zich verder door de menigte.En: They wormed their way further through the crowd.Nl: De hoge plafonds van het museum versterkten het geluid van voetstappen en het gedempte geroezemoes van toeristen.En: The high ceilings of the museum amplified the sound of footsteps and the muted murmur of tourists.Nl: De lucht was piekerig van spanning en opwinding over het zien van het beroemde schilderij.En: The air was tinged with anticipation and excitement about seeing the famous painting.Nl: Eindelijk stonden ze voor "De Nachtwacht".En: Finally, they stood in front of "The Night Watch."Nl: Maar het zicht was geblokkeerd door een groep opgewonden toeristen.En: But the view was blocked by a group of excited tourists.Nl: Lars zuchtte gefrustreerd.En: Lars sighed in frustration.Nl: Sanne merkte hoe bezorgd hij eruitzag.En: Sanne noticed how worried he looked.Nl: "Misschien kunnen we Hugo's charme gebruiken," stelde Sanne voor, haar ogen glanzend van een plotselinge idee.En: "Maybe we can use Hugo's charm," suggested Sanne, her eyes gleaming with a sudden idea.Nl: "Vraag hen lief of ze even opzij willen stappen."En: "Ask them kindly if they could step aside for a moment."Nl: Hugo schudde zijn hoofd, maar om de vriendschap te behouden en te helpen, draaide hij zich om naar de groep toeristen.En: Hugo shook his head, but to maintain the friendship and help out, he turned to the group of tourists.Nl: Met een vriendelijke glimlach en een snelle knipoog, vroeg hij hen beleefd of Lars even kon kijken.En: With a friendly smile and a quick wink, he politely asked if Lars could have a look.Nl: Tot hun verbazing werkte het.En: To their surprise, it worked.Nl: De toeristen stapten opzij, nieuwsgierig naar Hugo's charisma.En: The tourists stepped aside, curious about Hugo's charisma.Nl: Een moment later stond

inwerken.En: He took a deep breath and absorbed the historical work.Nl: Sanne bekeek het schilderij ook, en voor het eerst voelde ze zich ontroerd door de kunst en het verhaal dat het vertelde.En: Sanne also looked at the painting, and for the first time, she felt moved by the art and the story it told.Nl: Toen ze uiteindelijk naar buiten liepen, voelde Lars een nieuwe waardering voor het schilderij en voor de hulp van zijn vrienden.En: As they finally walked outside, Lars felt a new appreciation for the painting and the help of his friends.Nl: Sanne had de schoonheid van de kunst ontdekt en Hugo, die meestal ongeduldig was, had iets onverwachts geleerd over geduld en samenwerking.En: Sanne had discovered the beauty of art, and Hugo, who was usually impatient, had learned something unexpected about patience and collaboration.Nl: De avond viel over Amsterdam.En: Evening fell over Amsterdam.Nl: Terwijl de regen nog steeds zachtjes tegen de ramen tikte, glimlachte het drietal om hun gedeelde ervaring, klaar om het Sinterklaasfeest te vieren met een nieuwe vriendschap en gedeelde herinneringen.En: As the rain still gently tapped against the windows, the trio smiled at their shared experience, ready to celebrate the Sinterklaas festival with a new friendship and shared memories.

Het Koninklijk Concertgebouw in Amsterdam schrapte twee weken geleden een Chanoeka-concert, omdat de voorzanger van het Israëlische leger daarbij zou komen optreden. Die beslissing kwam de concertzaal op een hevige tegenreactie te staan. De kwestie laat zien dat politiek ook is doorgedrongen tot de klassieke concertzaal.

BONUS: Flawless Execution — Translating Fighter Pilot Precision to Business Results In this powerful conversation, former fighter pilot Christian "Boo" Boucousis reveals how military precision translates into agile business leadership. We explore the FLEX model (Plan-Brief-Execute-Debrief), the critical difference between control-based and awareness-based leadership, and why most organizations fail to truly embrace iterative thinking. From Cockpit to Boardroom: An Unexpected Journey "I learned over time that it doesn't matter what you do if you're always curious, and you're always intentional, and you're always asking questions." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Christian's path from fighter pilot to leadership consultant wasn't planned—it was driven by necessity and curiosity. After 11 years as a fighter pilot (7 in Australia, 4 in the UK), an autoimmune condition ended his flying career at age 30. Rather than accepting a comfy job flying politicians around, he chose entrepreneurship. He moved to Afghanistan with a friend and built a reconstruction company that grew to a quarter billion dollars in four years. The secret? The debrief skills he learned as a fighter pilot. By constantly asking "What are you trying to achieve? How's it going? Why is there a gap?" he approached business with an agile mindset before he even knew what agile was. This curiosity-driven, question-focused approach became the foundation for everything that followed. The FLEX Model: Plan-Brief-Execute-Debrief "Agile and scrum were co-created by John Sutherland, who was a fighter pilot, and its origins sit in the OODA loop and iteration. Which is why it's a circle." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   The FLEX model isn't new—fighter pilots have used this Plan-Brief-Execute-Debrief cycle for 60 years. It's the ultimate simple agile model, designed to help teams accelerate toward goals using the same accelerated learning curve the Air Force uses to train fighter pilots. The key insight: everything in this model is iterative, not linear. Every mission has a start, middle, and end, and every stage involves constant adaptation. Afterburner (the company Christian now leads as CEO) has worked with nearly 3,800 companies and 2.8 million people over 30 years, teaching this model. What's fascinating is that the DNA of agile is baked into fighter pilot thinking—John Sutherland, co-creator of Scrum, wrote the foreword for Christian's book "The Afterburner Advantage" because they share the same roots in the OODA loop and iterative thinking. Why Iterative Thinking Doesn't Come Naturally "Iterative thinking is not a natural human model. Most of the time we learn from mistakes. We don't learn as a habit." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Here's the hard truth: agile as a way of working is very different from the way human beings naturally think. Business leadership models still hark back to Frederick Winslow Taylor's 1911 book on scientific management—industrial era leadership designed for building buildings, not creating software. Time is always linear (foundation, then structure, then finishing), and this shapes how we think about planning. Humans also tend to organize like villages with chiefs, warriors, and gatherers—hierarchical and political. Fighter pilots created a parallel system where politics exist outside missions, but during execution, personality clashes can't interfere. The challenge for business isn't the method—it's getting human minds to embrace iteration as a habit, not just a process they follow when forced. Planning: Building Collective Consciousness, Not Task Lists "Planning isn't all about sequencing actions—that's not planning. That's the byproduct of planning, which is collectively agreeing what good looks like at the end." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Most people plan in their head or in front of a spreadsheet by themselves. That's not planning—that's collecting thoughts. Real planning means bringing everyone on the team together to build collective consciousness about what's possible. The plan is always "the best idea based on what we know now." Once airborne, everything changes because the enemy doesn't cooperate with your plan. Planning is about the destination, not the work to get there. Think about airline pilots: they don't tell you about traffic delays on their commute or maintenance issues. They say "Welcome aboard, our destination is Amsterdam, there's weather on the way, we'll land 5 minutes early." That's a brief—just the effect on you based on all their work. Most business meetings waste 55 minutes on backstory and 5 minutes deciding to have another meeting. Fighter pilots focus entirely on: What are we trying to achieve? What might get in the way? Let's go. Briefing: The 25-Minute Focus Window "You need 25 minutes of focus before your brain really focuses on the task. You program your brain for the mission at hand." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   The brief is the moment between planning and execution when the plan is as accurate as it'll ever get. It's called "brief" for a reason—it's really short. The team checks that everyone understands the plan in today's context, accounting for last-minute changes (broken equipment, weather, personnel changes). Then comes the critical part: creating the mission bubble. From the brief until mission end, there are no distractions, no notifications. If someone tries to interrupt a fighter pilot walking to the jet, the response is clear: "I'm in my mission bubble. No distractions." This isn't optional—research shows it takes 25 minutes of uninterrupted focus before your brain truly locks onto a task. Yet most business leaders expect constant availability, with notifications pinging every few minutes. If you need everyone to have notifications on to run your business, you're doing a really bad job at planning. Execution: Awareness-Based Leadership vs. Control-Based Leadership "The reason we have so many meetings is because the leader is trying to control the situation and own all the awareness. It's not humanly possible to do that." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   During execution, fighter pilots fly the plan until it doesn't work anymore—then they adapt. A mission commander might lead 70 airplanes, but can't possibly track all 69 others. Instead, they create "gates"—checkpoints where everyone confirms they're in the right place within 10 seconds. They plan for chaos, creating awareness points where the team is generally on track or not. The key shift: from control-based leadership (the leader tries to control everything) to awareness-based leadership (the leader facilitates and listens for divergences). This includes "subordinated leadership"—any of the four pilots in a formation can take the lead if they have better awareness. If a wingman calls out a threat the leader doesn't see, the immediate response is "Press! You take the lead." This works because they planned for it and have criteria. Business teams profess to want this kind of agile collaboration, but struggle because they haven't invested in the planning and shared understanding that makes fluid leadership transitions possible. Abort Criteria: Knowing When to Stop "We have this concept called abort criteria. If certain criteria are hit, we abort the mission. I think that's a massive opportunity for business." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   There are degrees of things going wrong: a little bit, a medium amount, and everything going wrong. When everything's going wrong, fighter pilots stop and turn around—they don't keep pressing a bad situation. This "abort criteria" concept is massively underutilized in business. Too often, teams press bad situations, transparency disappears, people stop talking, and everyone goes into survival mode (protect myself, blame others). This never happens with fighter pilots. If something goes wrong, they take accountability and make the best decision. The most potent team size is four people: a leader, deputy leader, and two wingmen. This small team size with clear roles and shared abort criteria creates psychological safety to call out problems and adapt quickly. The Retrospective Mindset: Not Just a Ritual "A retrospective isn't a ritual. It's actually a way of thinking. It's a cognitive model. If you approached everything as a retrospective—what are we trying to achieve? How's it going? Why is it not going where we want? What's the one action to get back on track?" — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   The debrief—the retrospective—is the most important part of fighter pilot culture translated into agile. It's not just a meeting you have at the end of a sprint. It's a mindset you apply to everything: projects, relationships, personal development. Christian introduces "Flawless Leadership" built on three M's: Method (agile practices), Mindset (growth mindset developed through acting iteratively), and Moments (understanding when to show up as a people leader vs. an impact leader). The biggest mistake in technology: teams do retrospectives internally but don't include the business. They get a brief from the business, build for two months, come back, and the business says "What is this? This isn't what I expected." If they'd had the business in every scrum, every iteration, trust would build naturally. Everyone involved in the mission must be part of the planning, briefing, executing, and debriefing. Leading in the Moment: Three Layers of Leadership "Your job as a scrum master, as a leader—it doesn't matter if you're leading a division of people—is to be aware. And you're only going to be aware by listening." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Christian breaks leadership into three layers: People Leadership (political, emotional, dealing with personalities and overwhelm), Impact Leadership (the agile layer, results-driven, scientific), and Leading Now (the reactive, amygdala-driven panic response when things go wrong). The mistake: mixing these layers. Don't try to be a people leader during execution—that's not the time. But if you're really good at impact leadership (planning, breaking epics into stories, getting work done), you become high trust and high credibility. People leadership becomes easier because success eliminates excuses. During execution, watch for individual traits and blind spots. Use one-on-ones with a retrospective mindset: "What does good look like for you? How do we get to where you're not frustrated?" When leaders aren't present—checking phones and watches during meetings—they lose people. Your job as a leader is to turn your ears on, facilitate (not direct), and listen for divergences others don't see. The Technology-Business Disconnect "Every time you're having a scrum, every time you're coming together to talk about the product, just have the business there with you. It's easy." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   One of the biggest packages of work Afterburner does: technology teams ask them to help build trust with the business. The solution is shockingly simple—include the business in every scrum, every planning session, every retrospective. Agile is a tech-driven approach, creating a disconnect. Technology brings overwhelming information about how hard they're working and problems they've solved, but business doesn't care about the past. They care about the future: what are you delivering and when? During the Gulf War, the military scaled this fighter pilot model to large-scale planning. Fighter pilots work with marines, special forces, navy, CIA agents—everyone is part of the plan. If one person is missing from planning, execution falls apart. If someone on the ground doesn't know how an F-18 works, the jet is just expensive decoration. Planning is about learning what everyone else does and how to support them best—not announcing what you'll do and how you'll do it. High-Definition Destinations: Beyond Goals "Planning is all about the destination, not the work to get there. Think about when you hop on an airplane—the pilot doesn't tell you the whole backstory. They say 'Welcome aboard, our destination is Amsterdam, there's weather on the way, we'll land 5 minutes early.' All you want is the effect on you." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Christian uses the term "High-Definition Destinations" rather than goals. The difference is clarity and vividness. When you board a plane, you don't get the pilot's commute story or maintenance details—you get the destination, obstacles, and estimated arrival. That's communication focused on effect, not process. Most business communication does the opposite: overwhelming context, backstory, and detail, with the destination buried somewhere in the middle. The brief should always be: Here's where we're going. Here's what might get in the way. Let's go. This communication style—focused on outcomes and effects rather than processes and problems—transforms how teams align and execute. It eliminates the noise and centers everyone on what actually matters: the destination.   About Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Christian "Boo" Boucousis is a former fighter pilot who now helps leaders navigate today's fast-moving world.

Een nabeschouwing van de WK kwalificatiewedstrijd Polen - Nederland met Jeroen Grueter, Jeroen Elshoff en Arman Avsaroglu

Eventjes terug naar 17 oktober 1980… Een destijds onbekende band staat op het punt van zijn echte doorbraak en komt na optredens in de Melkweg in Amsterdam en Vera in Groningen, naar de Gigant in Apeldoorn. Het was voor het eerst dat deze band te horen en te zien is buiten de UK. Maar erg onder de indruk was men in Apeldoorn niet van het eerste geluid van U2… Lokale punk-types uit Arnhem en Deventer waren wel op de poster afgekomen. Maar toen U2 het livegeluid van ‘Boy' ten gehore bracht, bleek het een complete mismatch tussen Bono en de omgeving Apeldoorn. Er gaan zelfs verhalen rond over LP's van het debuutalbum van de legendarische band die na het concert als frisbees door de zaal vlogen… Vandaag in Spijkers met Koppen eren we het Apeldoornse poppodium GIGANT - Goede Ideeën Gaan Alsnog Nooit Teloor. Want naast een piepjonge U2 staan ook Simple Minds en Nirvana op het gigantische podum, maar toch hadden ze het zonder Herman Brood nooit overleefd... Nu, vijftig jaar later kunnen we door het boek ‘Gigantisch Luid en Tegendraads' allemaal meegenieten van drugs, bloed, zweet en tranen in een plaats waar niets te doen was. Schrijvers Jan Westerhof en Siwert Hoogenberg praten over die gouden dagen van poppodium Gigant.  Verder: * Alles over de stoelendans in de nieuwe Tweede Kamer * Waar in vredesnaam is Apie?? * En Pas op!

The non-fiction filmmaker Lynne Sachs returns to Filmwax for another memorable visit. Lynne has a new film, "Every Contract Leaves a Trace", which is to have its world premiere at IDFA in Amsterdam on November 17th: Synopsis (from IDFA website): Since 1990, filmmaker Lynne Sachs has collected 600 business cards—from a hairdresser, a therapist, a textile artist. Together they form an archive of encounters. The title of this imaginative essay film, Every Contact Leaves a Trace, is a basic principle of forensic science, coined by Edmond Locard, a pioneer in the field. And any trace can link a person to a place, another person or an object. If that's true, Sachs wonders, might every personal encounter not also leave a trace on your being? To find out, she tracks down some of the people behind the business cards. The thread connecting these hundreds of cards is Sachs herself, so the filmmaker naturally becomes the center of the film. Yet the focus is not on her; as in many of her works spanning more than three decades of film making, she merely provides the perspective—the point of departure. With her warm, contemplative voice-over and playful visual invention, Sachs weaves countless faces and voices into a patchwork of connections. These encounters—whether forgotten or remembered, faint or vivid—have become part of her being. https://youtu.be/1LV-r6VDUfM

Live from Morgan Stanley's European Tech, Media and Telecom Conference in Barcelona, our roundtable of analysts discusses tech disruptions and datacenter growth, and how Europe factors in.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Paul Walsh: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Paul Walsh, Morgan Stanley's European Head of Research Product. Today we return to my conversation with Adam Wood. Head of European Technology and Payments, Emmet Kelly, Head of European Telco and Data Centers, and Lee Simpson, Head of European Technology. We were live on stage at Morgan Stanley's 25th TMT Europe conference. We had so much to discuss around the themes of AI enablers, semiconductors, and telcos. So, we are back with a concluding episode on tech disruption and data center investments. It's Thursday the 13th of November at 8am in Barcelona. After speaking with the panel about the U.S. being overweight AI enablers, and the pockets of opportunity in Europe, I wanted to ask them about AI disruption, which has been a key theme here in Europe. I started by asking Adam how he was thinking about this theme. Adam Wood: It's fascinating to see this year how we've gone in most of those sectors to how positive can GenAI be for these companies? How well are they going to monetize the opportunities? How much are they going to take advantage internally to take their own margins up? To flipping in the second half of the year, mainly to, how disruptive are they going to be? And how on earth are they going to fend off these challenges? Paul Walsh: And I think that speaks to the extent to which, as a theme, this has really, you know, built momentum. Adam Wood: Absolutely. And I mean, look, I think the first point, you know, that you made is absolutely correct – that it's very difficult to disprove this. It's going to take time for that to happen. It's impossible to do in the short term. I think the other issue is that what we've seen is – if we look at the revenues of some of the companies, you know, and huge investments going in there. And investors can clearly see the benefit of GenAI. And so investors are right to ask the question, well, where's the revenue for these businesses? You know, where are we seeing it in info services or in IT services, or in enterprise software. And the reality is today, you know, we're not seeing it. And it's hard for analysts to point to evidence that – well, no, here's the revenue base, here's the benefit that's coming through. And so, investors naturally flip to, well, if there's no benefit, then surely, we should focus on the risk. So, I think we totally understand, you know, why people are focused on the negative side of things today. I think there are differences between the sub-sectors. I mean, I think if we look, you know, at IT services, first of all, from an investor point of view, I think that's been pretty well placed in the losers' buckets and people are most concerned about that sub-sector… Paul Walsh: Something you and the global team have written a lot about. Adam Wood: Yeah, we've written about, you know, the risk of disruption in that space, the need for those companies to invest, and then the challenges they face. But I mean, if we just keep it very, very simplistic. If Gen AI is a technology that, you know, displaces labor to any extent – companies that have played labor arbitrage and provide labor for the last 20 - 25 years, you know, they're going to have to make changes to their business model. So, I think that's understandable. And they're going to have to demonstrate how they can change and invest and produce a business model that addresses those concerns. I'd probably put info services in the middle. But the challenge in that space is you have real identifiable companies that have emerged, that have a revenue base and that are challenging a subset of the products of those businesses. So again, it's perfectly understandable that investors would worry. In that context, it's not a potential threat on the horizon. It's a real threat that exists today against certainly their businesses. I think software is probably the most interesting. I'd put it in the kind of final bucket where I actually believe… Well, I think first of all, we certainly wouldn't take the view that there's no risk of disruption and things aren't going to change. Clearly that is going to be the case. I think what we'd want to do though is we'd want to continue to use frameworks that we've used historically to think about how software companies differentiate themselves, what the barriers to entry are. We don't think we need to throw all of those things away just because we have GenAI, this new set of capabilities. And I think investors will come back most easily to that space. Paul Walsh: Emett, you talked a little bit there before about the fact that you haven't seen a huge amount of progress or additional insight from the telco space around AI; how AI is diffusing across the space. Do you get any discussions around disruption as it relates to telco space? Emmet Kelly: Very, very little. I think the biggest threat that telcos do see is – it is from the hyperscalers. So, if I look at and separate the B2C market out from the B2B, the telcos are still extremely dominant in the B2C space, clearly. But on the B2B space, the hyperscalers have come in on the cloud side, and if you look at their market share, they're very, very dominant in cloud – certainly from a wholesale perspective. So, if you look at the cloud market shares of the big three hyperscalers in Europe, this number is courtesy of my colleague George Webb. He said it's roughly 85 percent; that's how much they have of the cloud space today. The telcos, what they're doing is they're actually reselling the hyperscale service under the telco brand name. But we don't see much really in terms of the pure kind of AI disruption, but there are concerns definitely within the telco space that the hyperscalers might try and move from the B2B space into the B2C space at some stage. And whether it's through virtual networks, cloudified networks, to try and get into the B2C space that way. Paul Walsh: Understood. And Lee maybe less about disruption, but certainly adoption, some insights from your side around adoption across the tech hardware space? Lee Simpson: Sure. I think, you know, it's always seen that are enabling the AI move, but, but there is adoption inside semis companies as well, and I think I'd point to design flow. So, if you look at the design guys, they're embracing the agentic system thing really quickly and they're putting forward this capability of an agent engineer, so like a digital engineer. And it – I guess we've got to get this right. It is going to enable a faster time to market for the design flow on a chip. So, if you have that design flow time, that time to market. So, you're creating double the value there for the client. Do you share that 50-50 with them? So, the challenge is going to be exactly as Adam was saying, how do you monetize this stuff? So, this is kind of the struggle that we're seeing in adoption. Paul Walsh: And Emmett, let's move to you on data centers. I mean, there are just some incredible numbers that we've seen emerging, as it relates to the hyperscaler investment that we're seeing in building out the infrastructure. I know data centers is something that you have focused tremendously on in your research, bringing our global perspectives together. Obviously, Europe sits within that. And there is a market here in Europe that might be more challenged. But I'm interested to understand how you're thinking about framing the whole data center story? Implications for Europe. Do European companies feed off some of that U.S. hyperscaler CapEx? How should we be thinking about that through the European lens? Emmet Kelly: Yeah, absolutely. So, big question, Paul. What… Paul Walsh: We've got a few minutes! Emmet Kelly: We've got a few minutes. What I would say is there was a great paper that came out from Harvard just two weeks ago, and they were looking at the scale of data center investments in the United States. And clearly the U.S. economy is ticking along very, very nicely at the moment. But this Harvard paper concluded that if you take out data center investments, U.S. economic growth today is actually zero. Paul Walsh: Wow. Emmet Kelly: That is how big the data center investments are. And what we've said in our research very clearly is if you want to build a megawatt of data center capacity that's going to cost you roughly $35 million today. Let's put that number out there. 35 million. Roughly, I'd say 25… Well, 20 to 25 million of that goes into the chips. But what's really interesting is the other remaining $10 million per megawatt, and I like to call that the picks and shovels of data centers; and I'm very convinced there is no bubble in that area whatsoever.So, what's in that area? Firstly, the first building block of a data center is finding a powered land bank. And this is a big thing that private equity is doing at the moment. So, find some real estate that's close to a mass population that's got a good fiber connection. Probably needs a little bit of water, but most importantly needs some power. And the demand for that is still infinite at the moment. Then beyond that, you've got the construction angle and there's a very big shortage of labor today to build the shells of these data centers. Then the third layer is the likes of capital goods, and there are serious supply bottlenecks there as well.And I could go on and on, but roughly that first $10 million, there's no bubble there. I'm very, very sure of that. Paul Walsh: And we conducted some extensive survey work recently as part of your analysis into the global data center market. You've sort of touched on a few of the gating factors that the industry has to contend with. That survey work was done on the operators and the supply chain, as it relates to data center build out. What were the key conclusions from that? Emmet Kelly: Well, the key conclusion was there is a shortage of power for these data centers, and… Paul Walsh: Which I think… Which is a sort of known-known, to some extent. Emmet Kelly: it is a known-known, but it's not just about the availability of power, it's the availability of green power. And it's also the price of power is a very big factor as well because energy is roughly 40 to 45 percent of the operating cost of running a data center. So, it's very, very important. And of course, that's another area where Europe doesn't screen very well.I was looking at statistics just last week on the countries that have got the highest power prices in the world. And unsurprisingly, it came out as UK, Ireland, Germany, and that's three of our big five data center markets. But when I looked at our data center stats at the beginning of the year, to put a bit of context into where we are…Paul Walsh: In Europe… Emmet Kelly: In Europe versus the rest. So, at the end of [20]24, the U.S. data center market had 35 gigawatts of data center capacity. But that grew last year at a clip of 30 percent. China had a data center bank of roughly 22 gigawatts, but that had grown at a rate of just 10 percent. And that was because of the chip issue. And then Europe has capacity, or had capacity at the end of last year, roughly 7 to 8 gigawatts, and that had grown at a rate of 10 percent. Now, the reason for that is because the three big data center markets in Europe are called FLAP-D. So, it's Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Dublin. We had to put an acronym on it. So, Flap-D. Good news. I'm sitting with the tech guys. They've got even more acronyms than I do, in their sector, so well done them. Lee Simpson: Nothing beats FLAP-D. Paul Walsh: Yes. Emmet Kelly: It's quite an achievement. But what is interesting is three of the big five markets in Europe are constrained. So, Frankfurt, post the Ukraine conflict. Ireland, because in Ireland, an incredible statistic is data centers are using 25 percent of the Irish power grid. Compared to a global average of 3 percent.Now I'm from Dublin, and data centers are running into conflict with industry, with housing estates. Data centers are using 45 percent of the Dublin grid, 45. So, there's a moratorium in building data centers there. And then Amsterdam has the classic semi moratorium space because it's a small country with a very high population. So, three of our five markets are constrained in Europe. What is interesting is it started with the former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The UK has made great strides at attracting data center money and AI capital into the UK and the current Prime Minister continues to do that. So, the UK has definitely gone; moved from the middle lane into the fast lane. And then Macron in France. He hosted an AI summit back in February and he attracted over a 100 billion euros of AI and data center commitments. Paul Walsh: And I think if we added up, as per the research that we published a few months ago, Europe's announced over 350 billion euros, in proposed investments around AI. Emmet Kelly: Yeah, absolutely. It's a good stat. Now where people can get a little bit cynical is they can say a couple of things. Firstly, it's now over a year since the Mario Draghi report came out. And what's changed since? Absolutely nothing, unfortunately. And secondly, when I look at powering AI, I like to compare Europe to what's happening in the United States. I mean, the U.S. is giving access to nuclear power to AI. It started with the three Mile Island… Paul Walsh: Yeah. The nuclear renaissance is… Emmet Kelly: Nuclear Renaissance is absolutely huge. Now, what's underappreciated is actually Europe has got a massive nuclear power bank. It's right up there. But unfortunately, we're decommissioning some of our nuclear power around Europe, so we're going the wrong way from that perspective. Whereas President Trump is opening up the nuclear power to AI tech companies and data centers. Then over in the States we also have gas and turbines. That's a very, very big growth area and we're not quite on top of that here in Europe. So, looking at this year, I have a feeling that the Americans will probably increase their data center capacity somewhere between – it's incredible – somewhere between 35 and 50 percent. And I think in Europe we're probably looking at something like 10 percent again. Paul Walsh: Okay. Understood. Emmet Kelly: So, we're growing in Europe, but we're way, way behind as a starting point. And it feels like the others are pulling away. The other big change I'd highlight is the Chinese are really going to accelerate their data center growth this year as well. They've got their act together and you'll see them heading probably towards 30 gigs of capacity by the end of next year. Paul Walsh: Alright, we're out of time. The TMT Edge is alive and kicking in Europe. I want to thank Emmett, Lee and Adam for their time and I just want to wish everybody a great day today.
