P.M. Edition for May 14. The U.S. president has fired the librarian of Congress and is seeking to install members of his administration. National political reporter Ken Thomas describes the power struggle between the branches of government. And Saudi Arabia's national oil company, Aramco, says it has signed 34 agreements with U.S. companies with a potential value of $90 billion. Plus, Ukraine and Russia can't agree on who will meet where— if at all —for peace talks, scheduled for Thursday. Pierre Bienaimé hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.

Onverwachts was er ineens een deal. Of nou ja een pre-deal, want de echte deal moet nog komen. Hoe dan ook, China en de VS nemen even een pauze in de handelsoorlog. De tarieven worden enorm verlaagd en in de tussentijd gaan ze met elkaar onderhandelen. Deze aflevering kijken we wat de Chinezen en Amerikanen nog meer inbrengen in de onderhandelingen. Wordt China meer open voor de VS bijvoorbeeld, zoals Trump zegt. En wat heb jij er als belegger aan? De meeste beleggers lopen de polonaise deze beursdag, behalve die in de farmaceutische industrie. Trump kwam (totaal onverwachts) met de mededeling dat de prijzen van medicatie naar beneden moeten. En dat betekent: drastisch.Voor Elon Musk ziet het er ook niet goed uit. Een deel van zijn personeel is gaan muiten en wil dat Musk ontslagen wordt. Deze uitzending kijken we hoe Musk deze hobbel nu weer moet nemen.Maar ook hebben we het over vliegtuigen, want we bespreken de flinke bonussen bij 'De Blauwe Zwaan'. Verder gaat het over een peperduur vliegtuig dat Trump krijgt en brengen we hem wat topografische kennis bij. Mattel beste Trump, is geen land.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we dive into three powerful stories shaping the global hydrogen economy:

In a landmark episode of The Twenty30 Podcast, co-hosts Lucien Zeigler and Dr. Hanaa Almoaibed sat down in person for an exclusive interview with Suliman Almazroua, CEO of Saudi Arabia's National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP), one of the 13 powerful ‘Vision Realization Programs' identified as “the driving force behind Vision 2030.” A former Aramco executive with decades of experience at the intersection of technology and operations, Almazroua was tapped to lead NIDLP during a critical moment for Saudi Arabia's industrial transformation. Under his leadership, NIDLP has made remarkable progress — with over half of its Vision 2030 targets already completed five years ahead of schedule.  The interview covers a wide spectrum — from Vision 2030 and sectoral innovation to workforce development and Saudi Arabia's push toward private-sector competitiveness. Where once industries leaned heavily on government support, today, companies are being challenged to rise above, develop competitive strategies, and deliver real market value. NIDLP is helping drive this evolution, particularly in sectors like logistics, where Saudi Arabia is actively disrupting traditional global models and introducing new efficiencies. The hosts also ask Suliman about the development of some of key sectors under NIDLP's administration, including mining, industrial development, logistics, Saudi supply chains, and AI - and how he views Saudi talent and capabilities as a critical component of both his current and future success with NIDLP. The interview is the first in an expansion of The TWENTY30 podcast to feature in-person, revealing conversations with the leaders and changemakers driving Saudi Arabia's transformation forward.

Chris Britt-Searle is a passionate volunteer with The Next Test. This UK-based nonprofit is becoming a vital hub for players, clubs, and fans committed to addressing the environmental challenges facing cricket.In this thought-provoking discussion, Chris shares the story behind The Next Test and offers insights into the organisation's role in uniting the cricketing community to confront ecological issues. We examine the current status of cricket in the face of climate change and explore how players, sports organisations, and governing bodies contribute to helping (or hindering) sustainable change. Our conversation also touches on the complexities of partnerships with environmental activist groups, the challenges posed by high-carbon sponsorships, and the broader implications of ecological uncertainty on the growth and development of cricket worldwide.This episode goes beyond the boundaries (all puns intended) of the game, challenging assumptions and offering a look at cricket's potential to lead in the fight against climate change. Whether you are a player, fan, or simply curious about the intersection of sports and sustainability, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.This episode was recorded in November 2024.Support the showPlease feel free to reach out to the show onWeb: sustainingsport.comInstagram: @sustainingsportLinkedin: /sustaining-sportFacebook: @sustainingsportTwitter: @SustainSportPodNow on Bluesky /sustainingsport.bsky.socialor contact us at: benmole@sustainingsport.com

D76 gratuliert den Damen 60 des SV Blankenese zum Titel! And now to something different: Schwangere Tennis-Profis bekommen bezahlten Mutterschutz – finanziert von saudischem Staatsfonds. Im Frauen-Tennis hat der Weltverband WTA einen Mutterschutz für Spielerinnen eingerichtet. Finanziert wird er von einem saudischen Staatsfonds. Diesem werfen Kritiker „Sportswashing“ vor. “Saudi-Arabiens Engagement im Tennis ist ein Zeichen des Wandels und der Öffnung. Während Kritiker von Sportswashing sprechen, übersehen sie die realen Fortschritte, die das Land in den letzten Jahren gemacht hat – insbesondere für Frauen. Frauen in Saudi-Arabien haben heute weit mehr Rechte und Möglichkeiten als noch vor einem Jahrzehnt. Sie dürfen Auto fahren, reisen, Unternehmen gründen und in immer mehr Berufen arbeiten. Der Anteil von Frauen in der saudischen Arbeitswelt ist in den letzten Jahren stark gestiegen – von 19 % im Jahr 2016 auf über 37 % im Jahr 2023. Auch in der Bildung haben Frauen inzwischen einen hohen Stellenwert: Mehr als die Hälfte der Universitätsabschlüsse im Land werden von Frauen erworben. Im Sport gibt es ebenfalls Fortschritte. Während Frauen früher praktisch von professionellen Karrieren ausgeschlossen waren, gibt es heute saudische Athletinnen, die international antreten, darunter Fußballerinnen, Schachspielerinnen und Rennfahrerinnen. Die Gründung einer Frauenfußballliga zeigt, dass sich auch hier etwas bewegt. Die Investitionen Saudi-Arabiens in den internationalen Sport, sei es im Tennis oder anderen Disziplinen, sind daher nicht nur eine PR-Strategie, sondern Teil eines umfassenden gesellschaftlichen Wandels. Anstatt jede Veränderung reflexartig abzulehnen, sollte man anerkennen, dass diese Entwicklungen echte Chancen für Frauen im Land schaffen.”

Well well well look who's back! In episode 45 of The TWENTY30, the hosts catch up at the start to talk about the start of Ramadan, leading to a discussion about how the month typically changes lives, working hours, and of course, dining habits for Saudis. After the hosts catch up from a short break, Hanaa leads a DEEPDIVE into Saudi Arabia's booming nonprofit sector, which is ahead of Vision 2030 targets and increasingly contributing to Saudi Arabia's GDP. A new report, "Prospects for the Non-Profit Sector 2025," prepared by the King Khalid Foundation, highlights that the sector has exceeded SR100 billion in economic contribution for the first time, a major milestone. The non-profit sector now contributes equivalent to 3.3 percent of Saudi GDP. After the DEEPDIVE, the host catch up on some of the latest news, including a row between PIF and PWC, AI in Saudi Arabia, Aramco's dividend, an expansion for the popular MDLBeast events company, and more. 

This week on aBlogtoWatchWeekly, Rick reveals that he's now deputy director of theFBI (now that podcast hosts can hold such roles), and Ripley confirms that Rickis a solid enough conspiracy theorist that.... well, it works. Rick thenannounces that this will be an "F1 episode," and it's hard to knowwhat that might mean. One clue is the red robin on which F1 team each teammember likes best. When talk turns to watches, first up is the IWC Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar in Green, and Rickshakes things up by starting with "Judge the Collab." The news isn'tgreat. Back to the F1 theme, we pivot to the eyebrow game of the Aramco team.David then departs for the airport after speed-packing just off-screen.Fiiiiiinally, it's back to watches with a look at the hands-on review of the Tudor Black Bay Chrono "Flamingo Blue" Watch. And there's some hemming and hawing about the new Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Bronze Gold and Burgundy Watch.Ripley calls it by recollecting that "the road to hell is paved with goodintentions." Rick closes the show by introducing his new theme song forthe F1 Champions League. Tune in!

What's next for OKRs in 2025? As goal-setting evolves, organizations are rethinking their approach to strategy, execution, and performance. In this episode, Sara sits down with OKR experts Natalie Webb and Maria Rowcliffe to unpack the latest trends—from the role of generative AI to the shifting landscape of OKR localization and performance management. Whether you're an OKR veteran or just getting started, these insights will help you stay ahead of the curve. Episode Highlights: How generative AI is reshaping OKR creation and workshop efficiency The shift away from rigid OKR cascading toward functional team-level alignment Why OKRs should not be directly tied to performance evaluations or compensation The biggest mistakes organizations make when implementing OKRs—and how to avoid them The evolving role of OKRs in strategy execution and business impact What to expect from the future of OKRs in 2025 and beyond Key Concepts Explored: Generative AI in OKR Practice Role of AI in data analytics and predictive modeling AI as an enabler vs. driver of outcomes Practical applications in OKR workshops Limitations and considerations Modern OKR Localization Shift from cascading to hybrid approaches L1-L2 alignment strategies Bottom-up contribution methods Functional team focus OKR Integration Separation of delivery work and outcomes Project management integration Performance management considerations Leading indicator identification Implementation Strategy Starting points for organizations Common pitfalls to avoid Methodology vs. tool selection Change management considerations Episode Chapters 00:00:00 - Introduction and welcome 00:01:00 - Book announcement: "You Are a Strategist" 00:04:00 - Guest introductions 00:08:00 - Generative AI's impact on OKRs 00:17:00 - Using AI tools in OKR workshops 00:21:00 - Evolution of OKR localization 00:33:00 - Discussion of individual KRs 00:41:00 - OKRs and performance management 00:47:00 - First steps for OKR implementation Notable Quotes "Generative AI is an enabler, not a driver. It's a tool that supports goal-setting, but the real work still comes down to humans collaborating, making great decisions, and executing." – Maria Rowcliffe "If we set our OKRs well, teams should feel empowered to say no to work that doesn't align. Prioritization isn't real unless it hurts." – Natalie Webb "One of the hardest parts of OKR creation is identifying leading indicators. AI can help generate ideas, but the real challenge is getting teams to think beyond the obvious KPIs." – Maria Rowcliffe "Not everyone needs their name on a Key Result. This isn't a participation trophy—what matters is understanding how the work contributes to the bigger strategy." – Natalie Webb "If you tie OKRs directly to performance evaluations, you create a system where people set safe goals instead of ambitious ones. That's not what OKRs are meant to do." – Sara Lobkovich Guest Information: Natalie Webb is an OKR expert with nearly eight years of experience in the field. She currently works with Aramco in Saudi Arabia, supporting their digital transformation and AI initiatives. Natalie specializes in helping organizations implement effective OKRs that drive real business impact. Maria Rowcliffe is an organizational behavior specialist with over 30 years of experience in management and strategy execution. Passionate about how organizations and people achieve success, she has worked extensively with OKRs and other strategic frameworks to help businesses align goals and improve execution.

More than 100 professional women's footballers have signed an open letter urging Fifa to drop the Saudi oil giant Aramco as a sponsor over humanitarian and environmental concerns. It follows Fifa's announcement - earlier this year - of a partnership with the firm that will run until 2027, giving the company sponsorship rights to the men's World Cup in 2026 and the Women's World Cup the following year.The words ‘Saudi Arabia' and ‘football' are increasingly used in the same sentence, and the country has become a huge player in the game. But it's not without controversy. The nation has been accused of ‘sportswashing' - with critics claiming Saudi Arabia is trying to improve its international reputation by investing in sports.BBC sports correspondent Katie Gornall talks us through why these players are speaking up, and if this petition could change things. We also hear from Manchester City striker Vivianne Miedema and Danish international Sofie Junge Pedersen about why they chose to sign.

From the BBC World Service: A civil trial is beginning in London to determine whether the mining company was responsible for the 2015 Mariana dam collapse.

From the BBC World Service: A civil trial is beginning in London to determine whether the mining company was responsible for the 2015 Mariana dam collapse. Then, ByteDance has sacked an intern for “maliciously interfering” with the training of one of its artificial intelligence models. And more than 100 professional women’s soccer players have published an open letter calling on FIFA to end its sponsorship deal with state-owned Saudi Arabian oil giant Aramco.

« Plus de la moitié de l'électricité sera d'origine bas carbone avant la fin de la décennie. » Dans son dernier rapport paru mercredi 16 octobre, l'Agence internationale de l'énergie persiste et signe. En désaccord complet avec ces prédictions, les multinationales du pétrole continuent, elles, d'investir lourdement dans les hydrocarbures. Entre Fatih Birol, le directeur exécutif de l'Agence internationale de l'énergie (AIE) et l'internationale du pétrole, le courant ne passe plus. Il y a certes consensus sur l'explosion des besoins en énergie, liés au développement des pays du Sud, mais aussi à l'appétit insatiable de l'intelligence artificielle et de ses milliers de datacenters ou encore à la climatisation croissante des espaces publics et privés qui répond au réchauffement climatique autant qu'elle y contribue.Mais l'agence basée à Paris fait le pari que les énergies renouvelables, d'un côté l'éolien et le solaire en tête, et l'énergie nucléaire de l'autre, fourniront malgré tout la moitié de l'électricité de la planète d'ici à 2030. Sur ce point, les pétroliers sont en complet désaccord. « Il faut abandonner de toute urgence le fantasme d'une disparition progressive du pétrole et du gaz », s'est agacé Amin Nasser, le puissant patron de la compagnie nationale saoudienne de pétrole Aramco à la tribune d'un forum de l'industrie à Houston. « À la place, il faut investir dans ces ressources en prenant en compte l'évolution réaliste de la demande. » L'Arabie saoudite et les pays producteurs de pétrole en général considèrent que la consommation de pétrole va continuer d'augmenter tous les ans, « au moins jusqu'en 2045 ».Une analyse partagée par les principales compagnies privées : ces dernières années, BP et Shell sont revenues tour à tour sur leurs objectifs de réduction de la production de pétrole et de gaz. Le géant français Total prévoit lui carrément d'augmenter sa production de pétrole de 3 % tous les ans jusqu'en 2030. Devant une commission d'enquête du Sénat français, en avril dernier, son PDG ne s'est pas privé de dire tout le mal qu'il pensait des prédictions de l'AIE : « Le scénario ‘net zéro' de l'AIE [qui prévoit la neutralité carbone en 2050, NDLR] est un scénario théorique », a insisté Patrick Pouyané devant les sénateurs. « L'AIE dit que [compte tenu du déclin naturel des champs] il suffit qu'on arrête d'investir dans le pétrole. Le problème, c'est que la même AIE nous explique chaque semaine que la demande de pétrole de l'année suivante augmente. » Visiblement agacé, le patron de Total tape du poing sur la table et s'en prend directement au patron de l'Agence : « Ce n'est pas à moi qu'il faut poser la question, c'est à monsieur Fatih Birol. Parce que je veux bien qu'on ait un nouveau pape et une nouvelle bible, mais ce n'est pas la réalité de ce que nous vivons aujourd'hui. »« La transition vers les énergies propres est irréversible »Le « nouveau pape » en question n'a pourtant rien d'un zadiste en sarouel. L'économiste turc est un ancien du sérail, ce qui explique peut-être le sentiment de trahison ressenti par les industriels. Avant de prendre la tête de l'AIE en 2015, il a fait carrière au sein de l'Organisation des pays exportateurs de pétrole (Opec). S'il est vrai qu'il a pris conscience de l'urgence climatique, l'AIE, créée après le premier choc pétrolier de 1973 pour faciliter la sécurité des approvisionnements énergétiques, reste avant tout un instrument prédictif dont les rapports font toujours foi. Avant la COP28, Fatih Birol avait lancé un appel aux pétroliers parlant de « moment de vérité » : « Nous verrons si vous êtes les partenaires de la lutte contre le changement climatique, oui ou non. »Mais il assure que ses prévisions sur le pic de pétrole n'ont rien de politique, citant notamment le ralentissement de la demande chinoise, l'électrification à marche forcée du parc automobile et la domination du renouvelable dans les investissements énergétiques de la planète au point de représenter désormais les deux tiers de sommes engagées. « Les chiffres ont toujours raison », a dit Fatih Birol en septembre devant un groupe de réflexion new-yorkais. « La transition vers les énergies propres est irréversible. Je vois certains célébrer chaque obstacle qui se dresse sur la route, mais le chemin à prendre ne fait aucun doute. »

Today, on Speaking Out of Place, we are honored to talk with Munira Khayyat, a Lebanese anthropologist whose book, A Landscape of War: Ecologies of Resistance and Survival in South Lebanon examines what she calls “resistant ecologies in a world of perennial warfare.”  Drawing on long-term fieldwork in frontline villages along Lebanon's southern border with Israel, she examines war not only as a place of death and destruction, but also necessarily, as an environment of living.We appreciate greatly that she was able to join us now, during the massive and deadly new war Israel is waging on Lebanon. Munira shows how this devastation is a continuation of wars Israel has waged against Lebanon for decades, but also how both the Lebanese people and the Lebanese landscape are resisting death and persisting in life.  This episode is especially useful to those wanting to know more about Lebanon, as Professor Khayyat gives us an informative account of the intertwined histories of Lebanon, Palestine, and the State of Israel.Munira Khayyat is an anthropologist whose research revolves around life in war, intimate genealogies of empire, and theory from the South. Her first book, A Landscape of War: Ecologies of Resistance and Survival in South Lebanon (University of California Press 2022) examines resistant ecologies in a world of perennial warfare. Drawing on long-term fieldwork in frontline villages along Lebanon's southern border with Israel, she examines war not only as a place of death and destruction, but also necessarily, as an environment of living.Khayyat is currently working on a second book that fleshes out the complex heart of empire in Saudi Arabia. Heart of Black Gold draws on a personal archive meticulously created by her maternal grandfather, who was among the first Arabian employees of ARAMCO, the Arab American Oil Company. How has oil — its extractive, shiny infrastructures, camps, big men, politics and corporations, its global ecologies — shaped lived environments? Insisting on a feminist and multidisciplinary rearranging of the archive, the book inhabits history-in-the-making as it unfolds in domestic scenes, lived quarters, the affective terrains of oil.Khayyat's research has been supported by the Wenner-Gren Foundation, the Arab Council for the Social Sciences, the Rachel Carson Center. Her writing has appeared in American Ethnologist, Public Culture, JMEWS, Cultural Anthropology, Anthropology News, HAU, and a number of edited volumes. Khayyat was a Member of the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (2018-2019). Before joining NYUAD, she taught at the American University in Cairo (2013-2023) and the American University of Beirut (2011-2013). She holds a PhD in Cultural Anthropology from Columbia University (2013), an MPhil in Social Anthropology from Cambridge University (1998) and a BA in history (1997) from the American University of Beirut.

Hardly a day passes by without some group of hard working people from some European country getting in the face of authorities, media and society with their urgent plight. Long gone are the days when the MSM tried so hard to present the agricultural fight as mere ‘demands for more subsidy'. Today everyone understands that the escalating protests are against the failed, crippling EU environmental regulations that threaten the very existence of the food producers. Reuters reported: “Placards depicted a farmer swinging from a gallows next to wind farms and an EU-emblazoned executioner with the words: ‘Green Deal equals death of Polish agriculture'.” Around 600 protests ongoing in Poland.

Stellantis — which has brands including Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram— will join five other major automakers that previously agreed to California's framework on cutting emissions in 2019. Under the agreement, the governor's office said Stellantis “will avoid up to 12 million additional metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions” through the model year 2026. Stellantis will also adhere to the state's zero-emissions light-duty vehicle sales requirements through 2030.  Source: thehill.com Saudi Aramco CEO: ‘The Energy Transition Is Failing. Policymakers Should Abandon the Fantasy of Phasing Out Oil and Gas' The world's biggest oil producer is the Saudi company Aramco. Its CEO, Amin Nasser, just came out yesterday (18) and said that the energy transition envisioned by the ‘global warming' crowd is failing.   He went ahead and in a rare show of honesty, advised that policymakers should abandon the ‘fantasy' (ouch!) of phasing out oil and gas, as he is sure demand for fossil fuels is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. CNBC reported: “'In the real world, the current transition strategy is visibly failing on most fronts as it collides with five hard realities',     He noted that alternative energy sources have been unable to displace hydrocarbons at scale, despite the world investing more than $9.5 trillion over the past two decades. Wind and solar currently supply less than 4% of the world's energy, and total electric vehicle penetration is 3%, he said.   Read more: Source: thegatewaypundit.
