David Daoud. Israel has begun a phased withdrawal from southern Lebanon, testing whether the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) can effectively disarm Hezbollah in "pilot zones." David Daoud expresses skepticism, noting Lebanon is already attempting to backtrack on its legal commitments and reverse agreed-upon sequences. Success depends on whether the U.S. will hold Lebanon's feet to the fire or permit Israel to retake territory if the LAF fails. (16)2012

Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus Marta. An experiment with "pilot zones" in southern Lebanon involves Israeli troop withdrawals and replacement by the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure. In Washington, 103 Democrats signed a resolution to deny aid to Israel, a move Hoenlein attributes to political intimidation rather than violations of law. Furthermore, a reported detention of Ro Khanna in a military zone was characterized as a "concocted" confrontation. (6)1968

Some people break barriers while others redefine them. Born in Slovenia, Layla became one of the country's pioneering female boxers at just 19 years old, stepping into the ring when women's boxing was still fighting for recognition. Despite facing sexism and limited opportunities, she refused to back down, becoming a multiple-time national champion and proudly representing her country across Europe and the world.Her journey didn't stop there. Following Slovenia's independence, Layla became part of the first generation of women permitted to serve in the Slovenian Armed Forces. While serving in a 120mm mortar fire control unit, she completed peacekeeping deployments to Bosnia and Kosovo all while continuing her boxing career. Eventually, life brought her to Australia, where she once again started from scratch, determined to build a new future. This is an incredible conversation about resilience, service, elite sport, and having the courage to keep moving forward, no matter what life throws at you.https://www.1111breathwork.com.au/Food Hub OPEN!

This is part two of an interview with Anak Bayan Melbourne. If you haven't listened to part one, it might be helpful to go back and listen. Part one covers the waves of colonisation, the 1896 Revolution and the history and purpose of Anak Bayan as an organisation. Part two covers the Negros 19 Massacre, Worker Resistance, forced migration and australia's complicity.VO: The Philippines is in the top ten countries in the world for the worst working conditions. The Island of Negros is known as the sugar bowl of the Philippines for its fertile sugar plantations, however, the working class farmers of the island, like much of the Filipino population, see little of the benefit from these rich resources.On the 19th of April this year, the Armed Forces of the Philippines massacred 19 people on the Island of Negros Occidental. This wasn't the first massacre on the island, but this time there were two US citizens among them, meaning that the usually largely ignored violence against farmers organisations briefly attracted global attention.The Sunday Paper spoke to Meah, Secretariat of International Solidarity Work for Anak Bayan, and Sunday, Chairperson for Anak Bayan Melbourne, about the struggle of the working class in The Philippines. You can learn more about Anak Bayan on their socials, Bayan Aus or Anak Bayan Melbourne. Links in the show notes. If you aren't on this continent, look up your local chapter. Anak Bayan's current call to action is for Filipino youth to go home and serve the people.This episode was made on stolen Kulin land. Sovereignty was never ceded and colonial violence continues both here and in The Philippines, as does Indigenous Resistance.Thanks to JD Remitar for supplying the musicIn this episode you heard the tracks “Reklamo ng Reklamo” and “Pag-ibig Ay Rebolusyon” by JD Remitar The Sunday Paper Podcast is independent, not for profit and listener supported.Matt Chun is our Executive Producer.Interview support, research and fact checking by Preeshita ShahThe Sunday Paper podcast is recorded, edited and produced by Mell Chun.

Episode 238Series: On the Mission Field - 31Jason Windnagle and his family are called to minister to the American servicemembers stationed in South Korea. They also reach out to and minister to the South Koreans around them. People may think that servicemembers have a true understanding of the gospel, but you will discover as you listen to this episode that this is overwhelmingly NOT the case! The U.S. Armed Forces are a cross section of the country at large, and servicemembers are increasingly ignorant of the gospel of Christ even as the population is. They also face an uphill battle against a common military culture plagued by vices of both social and traumatic origin, even while it is characterized by honor, pride, and discipline. Brother Windnagle knows the culture all too well, and in this episode, he shares with us his heart to evangelize, disciple, serve, and equip souls for Christ, and the circumstances that led him to missions in South Korea.Listen to the Removing Barriers Podcast here:Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/Ega8YeI⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/Vga2SVd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Edifi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/Meec7nsv⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/mga8A77⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podnews: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podnews.net/podcast/i4jxo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠See all our platforms: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact us:Email us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net/contact⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Financially support the show: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net/donate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Affiliates:Book Shop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bookshop.org/shop/removingbarriers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Christian Books.com: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/home?event=AFF&p=1236574⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fastmail: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://join.fastmail.com/8e23c12b⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠See all our affiliates: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net/affiliates⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Notes:Website: ⁠https://afbmissions.com/jasonandcarriewindnagle/

Antonina "Tonya" Samoilova (@tonya.samoilova) ) is a record-setting Ukrainian mountaineer and alpinist known for scaling the world's most formidable peaks while raising global awareness for her homeland. She began her high-altitude mountaineering journey relatively recently in 2018, starting with Mount Kilimanjaro, and quickly transformed into one of Ukraine's most prominent endurance athletes. She is the first Ukrainian mountaineer in history to conquer the five highest mountain peaks in the world—Everest, K2, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse, and Makalu, and the first Ukrainian woman to summit Mount Everest three times (2022, 2023, and 2024). In May 2024, she completed a rare double-header by summiting Everest and Lhotse within 24 hours, setting a national speed record for a female climber. During her 2025 ascent of Kangchenjunga—the world's third-highest peak—she survived running out of supplemental air 200 meters from the summit, pushing through 20 harrowing minutes without oxygen at 8,400 meters. Samoilova uses her global platforms and extreme ascents to act as a prominent voice for Ukraine. In 2022, she was the only climber from Ukraine to unfurl her country's flag at the summit of Everest, broadcasting a message to "Stand with Ukraine". In 2023, she made international headlines by capturing the world's first drone footage from the summit of Everest alongside the Ukrainian flag. She frequently uses her expeditions to raise funds for Ukraine's Armed Forces and volunteer medical battalions, often dedicating her dangerous ascents to fallen Ukrainian defenders and her own family serving on the front lines.   Connect with Tonya: https://www.antoninasamoilova.com/ CAPTAIN: THE ATHLETE'S GUIDE TO BEING AN EXCEPTIONAL TEAM LEADER is now live on Amazon!  CLICK HERE TO ORDER We are constantly asked "where have all the leaders gone?"

Hilary Meredith-Beckham: The Woman Who Took on the Ministry of Defence — And Built a Legacy Business Fighting for Armed Forces FamiliesIn this powerful episode of Dawn of a New Era and The Billionaire Brain™ series, Dawn sits down with award-winning solicitor, business owner, campaigner and long-time friend Hilary Meredith-Beckham.Hilary is one of the UK's most respected legal voices for British Armed Forces personnel, veterans and their families. Over the course of her career, she has taken on some of the most complex, high-pressure cases involving the Ministry of Defence and helped secure life-changing compensation for Armed Forces families.But this conversation goes far beyond the legal cases.Dawn and Hilary explore the woman behind the work: the founder, the business owner, the campaigner, the mother, the friend and the woman who built a legacy business around courage, conviction, trust and justice.This episode is also deeply personal. Dawn has known Hilary for many years, and their worlds have crossed in meaningful ways — including Hilary's daughter doing work experience at Dawn's agency. Hilary also shares how her personal life connects beautifully to her lifelong commitment to service, having met her husband, Ted Beckham, through charitable work connected to the Armed Forces community.At the heart of this conversation is the true meaning of the Billionaire Brain: not just wealth, but the ability to think bigger, hold pressure, back yourself, make brave decisions and build something that goes far beyond money.In this episode, Dawn and Hilary discuss:What first lit Hilary's fire to fight for people who needed a powerful voice in their cornerHow she built a specialist legal business in one of the highest-trust areas of lawWhy the most powerful businesses are often born from conviction, not just ambitionWhat it takes mentally to stand up to powerful institutions and still believe you can winHow Hilary built authority, reputation and trust in such a specialist nicheThe emotional weight of representing families through life-changing momentsWhy trust is the true currency in high-stakes business and leadershipHow being underestimated as a woman can become part of your powerThe relationship between courage, pressure, purpose and legacyHow Hilary's charitable work and personal life are connected through service and shared valuesWhat it really means to build a business that becomes a body of workKey themes from the episode:Conviction-led businessHilary's story is a powerful reminder that the strongest businesses are often not built from simply spotting a gap in the market. They are built from conviction, lived experience, purpose and the desire to create change.Founder identityDawn and Hilary explore the moment when an expert decides not just to do the work, but to build the vehicle that allows the work to have greater impact.Authority and reputationThis episode shows why founders do not need to be known for everything. They need to be known for something that matters. Authority is built through repetition, results and reputation.Pressure and nervous system capacityTaking on high-stakes work requires more than strategy. It requires the ability to hold pressure, uncertainty, responsibility and visibility without shrinking.Legacy beyond moneyHilary's work proves that business can become more than revenue. It can become a stand for justice, a body of work and a legacy that changes lives.Standout moments:“Business becomes more than a business when it is built from conviction. It becomes a mission.”“The room doesn't decide your power — your certainty does.”“You do not need to be everywhere. You need to be known for something that matters.”“Trust is not built through marketing alone. It is built through consistency, care, delivery and becoming someone people feel safe putting their future in the hands of.”“The bigger the mission, the more capacity you need to hold it.”About Hilary Meredith-BeckhamHilary Meredith-Beckham is an award-winning solicitor, business owner and campaigner known for her work representing British Armed Forces personnel, veterans and their families. She has spent decades handling complex and high-pressure cases, including cases involving the Ministry of Defence, and has become one of the most respected voices in her field.Her work is rooted in justice, service and advocacy — helping families through some of the most difficult and defining moments of their lives.About Dawn McGruerDawn McGruer is a business growth strategist, author, speaker and host of Dawn of a New Era. Through The Billionaire Brain™ series, Dawn explores how extraordinary founders, leaders and changemakers think, lead, build and create legacy.Her work focuses on helping founders think bigger, scale with certainty and build businesses that create wealth, freedom and lasting impact.Listen nowTune in to hear a powerful conversation about courage, conviction, pressure, purpose and what it really takes to build a legacy business.Subscribe for more conversations with extraordinary founders, leaders and changemakers.CHECK OUT THE PODCAST & APPLY TO BECOME A GUEST FOLLOW Dawn McGruer - @dawnmcgruer on Instagram and LinkedIn Check out our Guest Hilary Meredith Beckham - https://www.hmsolicitors.co.uk/ and follow Hilary on LinkedIn and InstagramThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podkite - https://podkite.com/privacy

The former Health Secretary reveals why he believes Keir Starmer is failing.When Wes Streeting resigned from cabinet in May, it put an end to months of speculation. The former Health Secretary does want Keir Starmer's job. Since then, the Defence Secretary, John Healey, and the Armed Forces minister, Al Carns, have both resigned over the Defence Spending plan. Keir Starmer's leadership is looking more and more precarious.Now Andy Burnham is running in the Makerfield by-election. If he becomes an MP, that could clear a way for him to contest the leadership himself.In the days leading up to the by-election, Wes Streeting came into the New Statesman studio for an extended interview with our Political Correspondent, Ethan Croft. In the conversation you're about to hear, Streeting speaks candidly about the reasons he left government, his views on Keir Starmer's leadership and what he believes Labour needs to do to reverse its ailing fortunes. He's also surprisingly complimentary about his potential rival in a future leadership contest, Andy Burnham.LISTEN AD-FREE:

Mea Culpa welcomes the opposite of the narcissistic garbage that surrendered to authorities today. General Mark Hertling. He joins us today to give us a real and frank assessment of the state of both Russian and Ukrainian forces as war begins to tip in Ukraine's favor. In addition, he is an outspoken critic of former president Trump and the MAGA agenda. Hertling spent 37 years in the Armed Forces. During his time as a U.S. soldier, he served in Armor, Cavalry, planning, operations, and training positions. He commanded every organization from Platoon to Field Army. Most notably, Hertling commanded the U.S. Army's 1st Armored Division in Iraq during the troop surge of 2007 to 2008 and retired as Commanding General of the US Army Europe. His knowledge of the complex alliances between European nations and the fragility of the NATO experiment gives him a rare insight into how this war is being fought as well as what the face of true leadership looks like.

Do you feel sorry for STARMER? The drowning, deluded loser! #JonGaunt #Starmer #UKPolitics #NetZero #ArmedForces #TroopingTheColour #NationalSecurity #TwoTierBritain #LionsLedByDonkeys  Is Keir Starmer becoming a tragic figure, or is he just a tragicomic clown? Today, we dive into the fallout from his latest statement—clinging to office while claiming he won't leave the UK in chaos. The irony? Many would argue the chaos is already here, and he's the one at the helm. In this live show, we're talking about the "lions led by donkeys." We all saw the incredible pride of our armed forces at Trooping the Colour today, yet we face the hard reality: our real defence forces are being hollowed out. How can we justify committing billions to Net Zero while we can't adequately fund the men and women who keep us safe? It's time for a reality check. Is Starmer truly deluded, or is there a more calculated "controlled demolition" of our national interests at play? JOIN THE CONVERSATION TODAY. Is Starmer a "tragicomic clown" or a genuine threat to national security? Should we be prioritising Net Zero over our armed forces? "Lions led by donkeys"—is this the most accurate description of modern Britain? What do you think? Leave a comment below or join the live chat. Is there one thing Starmer could do today to prove he isn't deluded?

United Kingdom correspondent Lucy Thomson spoke to Lisa Owen about UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer grappling with another political setback after defence secretary John Healey's shock resignation over armed forces funding. 

He's the former Marine who served in the special forces, climbs mountains for fun, and now could hold the keys to Downing Street. Following an astonishing interview on Sky News, Al Carns quit as Armed Forces minister over doubts the long-delayed Defence Investment Plan was going to be fully funded. It was yet another blow for a prime minister still reeling from the resignation of his defence secretary John Healey earlier on Thursday. Carns, nick-named ‘Action Man' because of his military background, has already hinted at his leadership ambitions. Could he now potentially join the likes of Andy Burnham and Wes Streeting in challenging Sir Keir Starmer? Sky's Mhari Aurora is joined by political correspondent Amanda Akass to discuss Carn's career, and how likely a contender he is for the country's top job. Have you got a question?

Armed Forces minister Al Carns and a couple of junior frontbenchers followed the Defence Secretary John Healey in resigning from government last night.Healey's accusation was a stinging one - that Keir Starmer is failing to commit to keeping the nation safe from attack. That, after Starmer pledged only a few months ago to put "petty politics" to one side and be bold on British defence.He now faces a testing week like no other. His Defence Investment Plan, long delayed. is due to be launched on Monday. Can that go ahead? If the PM gets through that, he faces the prospect of Andy Burnham returning to the Commons on Friday - who could instantly make a move for the top job.How damaging have the resignations of the past 24 hours been for Starmer's already dwindling prospects of staying in the job? And how on earth does the PM navigate the next week?The News Agents is a Global Production.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

This is the official VIC 4 VETS Honor Roll, highlighting our Honored Veterans during Veterans Appreciation Month. SUBMITTED BY: Listener Bob________________________________________________________________ Vic and Ken,I've thoroughly enjoyed and deeply appreciate the fact that this has been a weekly event for quite a while, and that it's now a daily occurrence during the month of June is just a phenomenal idea! Thank you both so much for that! It's very possible that I've missed any segment that may have mentioned the unsung heroes of so many U.S. Military Combat Operations, the K-9 Warrior. I'd like to take the opportunity to recognize the innumerable brave, intelligent, and Fearless members of the Armed Forces, which have served in every war since the American Revolution, in one form or another...as well as in other worldwide conflicts throughout human history. The story of the Military Working Dog (MWD) in US Forces officially began on March 13, 1942. That’s when the U.S. Army launched its War Dog Program during World War II, though canines have served honorably for much longer than that...including Sgt Stubby, a stray Boston Terrier Mix who served in WWI - he served in 17 battles, alerting troops to incoming gas attacks before humans could detect them, comforting wounded soldiers, and even capturing a German spy by biting him and refusing to let go until soldiers could capture him. Stories abound of our magnificent K9 companions serving honorably and selflessly in WWI and WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan (including the Belgian Malinois with nerves of steel, Cairo, who was part of SEAL Team 6’s historic mission to eliminate Osama bin Laden...and another Belgian Malinois, Conan - who played a critical role in the Delta Force raid that eliminated the ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, only two of the many, many canines who've served selflessly and honorably, even while mortally wounded in some cases. The stories of these amazing K9 heroes remind us that courage and sacrifice aren’t limited to humans. For over a century, military working dogs have saved lives, detected danger, and provided unwavering loyalty to the soldiers they served alongside. Whether charging into battle, shielding their handlers, or using their sharp instincts to prevent catastrophe, these dogs have played a vital role in American military history." I get lost reading stories of them, there are so many. We as humans cannot possibly thank our deserving Canine Companions enough just for our interactions with them in our daily humdrum lives; their amazing contributions to human society in wartime is the well-earned and well-deserved stuff of legends. Here are some of the other K9 Heroes featured on pawpularcompanions.biz: Sgt. Stubby (WWI) - The Original War DogChips (WWII) - The One-Dog ArmySmoky (WWII) - The Little Terrier That CouldNemo A534 (Vietnam War) - The Dog Who Wouldn’t Back DownCairo (SEAL Team 6, Bin Laden Raid, 2011) - The Modern LegendLucca (USMC, Iraq & Afghanistan) - The LifesaverRags (WWI) - The Messenger DogRex (Iraq War) - The Marine’s Best FriendConan (Delta Force, ISIS Raid, 2019) - The Terrorist HunterGander (WWII, Battle of Hong Kong) - The Ultimate SacrificeHonza (War on Terror, USMC) - The Explosives ExpertLayka (Afghanistan, U.S. Army Rangers) - The Indestructible Warrior K9 Veterans Day is March 13th. You can read about many of the amazing K9 Veterans by going to: www.pawpularcompanions.biz and search “K9 Veterans” If they've been covered already and I missed it, I apologize...if not, is it possible that Vic could do a segment honoring these wonderful warriors of ours? Thank you both for the show in general, and especially for honoring our many veterans who've sacrificed so much in service to America, and God Bless America! ______________________________________________________________ Today's VIC 4 VETS Honor Roll Inductees, Honored Veterans on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at: Alamo Military Collectables, Gemini Wealth Group H.E.R.O.E.S.

John Healey's parting broadside as Defence Secretary, and Al Carns resignation as Armed Forces Minister, are clearly intended to jolt the government into a rethink of the Defence Investment Plan. But will it work?Sitrep explains the difficult choices now facing by the new Defence Secretary Dan Jarvis, and how his experience in the Parachute Regiment might shape his approach.Professor Michael Clarke runs the numbers on the Defence Investment Plan which John Healey says “falls well short of what is required for defence… at this dangerous time”.And he explains why this leaves the Chiefs of the Armed Forces in a very delicate position.

The armed forces minister quits hours after the defence secretary steps down over the government's military spending plans. A new defence secretary has now been appointed. We talk to two Labour MPs about how to pay for extra defence spending, and where this leaves the prime minister.Also on the programme: We're live in Mexico City after the men's football World Cup's opening game. How is disorder on the streets of Belfast being coordinated on social media? And, following the popularity of weight loss jabs, the medicines regulator approves a weight loss pill for private prescription.

Send us Fan MailOn 6 June 1944, Keith Whiting was serving aboard HMS Ramillies, a British battleship supporting the Normandy landings. Keith helped fire the massive 15-inch guns that bombarded German defences ahead of the Allied assault on the beaches, and then supported them as they fought their way inland. HMS Ramillies fired so many shells during the invasion that her gun barrels later had to be replaced.Keith reflects on his wartime experiences, the comrades he served alongside, and the sacrifices made by a generation that changed the course of history. He also shares his memories of the 80th anniversary commemorations and what it means to carry those memories into the present day.Support the show

A little girl in her Sunday best, holding her grandmother's hand, walking quietly through a graveyard to place flowers on family graves — it's a picture of Memorial Day that many of us carry in our own memories. In this episode, Lynette Kittle reflects on the sacred tradition of honoring those who laid down their lives for the freedom we enjoy today. Long before we understood the weight of sacrifice, many of us were taught by those who came before us that some things are worth remembering — and worth honoring. Each soldier, each serviceman and woman, was created in the image of a holy God, breathed into life by His own breath. Memorial Day is an invitation to pause and recognize the priceless worth of every life given in service to this nation. As Jesus Himself said, "No greater love has anyone than that he lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). This day is a call to gratitude — to God for His hand on our nation, and to the countless men and women whose sacrifice made our freedom possible. Today's Bible Verse "And walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." — Ephesians 5:2, NIV Ponder Today Every fallen soldier bore the image of God. Each life lost in service was sacred — created by a holy God, breathed into being by Him, and deeply valued by Him (Genesis 1:27, Genesis 2:7). Freedom is not free — and it must not be forgotten. As Ronald Reagan warned, freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. Memorial Day calls us to remember, reflect, and pass on the lessons of sacrifice to those who come after us. Sacrifice is an act of love. Christ laying down His life for us and a soldier laying down their life for their country both reflect the same profound truth: there is no greater love than this. Grief deserves to be honored. For countless families across America, Memorial Day carries deep personal sorrow. We are called not just to celebrate freedom, but to sit with and comfort those still bearing the weight of loss. Gratitude to God and gratitude for service go hand in hand. America's freedom endures as we thank God for His hand on our nation and recognize the individuals whose sacrifice made that freedom real. A Prayer for You Today Dear Father, lead us to commemorate Memorial Day in a way that honors You and the sacred lives You created. Let us never forget the sacrifice of those who laid down their lives for their friends and for this nation. Thank You for every man and woman who has served in America's Armed Forces. Bring healing and restoration to those wounded in service, and bring comfort to every family still carrying the sorrow of loss.

It's Thursday, May 21st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Finnish member of Parliament appeals religious liberty ruling A Finnish member of Parliament is appealing her religious freedom case to the European Court of Human Rights.  Finland's Supreme Court convicted Päivi Räsänen of hate speech in March. Her offense was writing a pamphlet about biblical sexuality 20 years ago. Alliance Defending Freedom International announced this month that she is making a final appeal in her case.  Räsänen commented, “The failure of the Finnish Supreme Court to uphold freedom of speech has set a dangerous precedent in my country and across Europe. ... I know I am not alone in facing unjust persecution under ‘hate speech' laws that make sharing Christian beliefs a criminal offense.”  French legislature rejects legalization of suicide French lawmakers rejected a bill to legalize assisted suicide last week.  The measure would even impose prison terms and heavy fines on people deemed to be obstructing access to assisted suicide.  Bruno Retailleau leads the conservative Les Républicains Party in France. The lawmaker argued against the bill, saying, “We cannot support a text that, in the name of a misguided progressivism, risks sacrificing the most vulnerable among us to the cold logic of budgetary constraints and legal precedents.” Franklin Graham preached to 30,000 people in Belarus On May 16th, Evangelist Franklin Graham shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with over 30,000 people in Minsk, Belarus which is located in Eastern Europe with Russia to the east, Ukraine to the south and Poland to the west. Listen. GRAHAM: “Lying is a sin. We have all have lied. So, we're sinners. We've broken God's laws. We're under a judgment. We're under a death sentence. The wages of sin is death.” Indeed, Romans 6:23 declares, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (You can watch his sermon through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com) It was reportedly the largest Evangelical event ever in the Eastern European country. Hundreds of people turned to Christ during the event. Graham wrote about one unique conversion story. He said, “One man shared that he had planned to end his life last Tuesday, but was not successful. He came tonight, heard the Gospel, and found true hope by putting his faith and trust in Christ.” John 3:17 says, “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through Him, might be saved.” Secretary of State Rubio blames Cuban problems on Communism Yesterday was Cuban Independence Day. It's the 124th anniversary of the birth of the Republic of Cuba. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio marked the day by sharing a Spanish-language video message with the people of Cuba.  RUBIO: “The reason you are forced to survive 22 hours a day without electricity is not due to an oil ‘blockade' by the U.S. As you know, better than anyone, you have been suffering from blackouts for years. The real reason you don't have electricity, fuel, or food is because those who control your country have plundered billions of dollars, but nothing has been used to help the people. “Thirty years ago, Raúl Castro founded a company called GAESA. This company is owned and operated by the Armed Forces, and has revenues three times greater than your current government's budget. Today, while you suffer, these businessmen have $18 billion dollars in assets and control 70% of Cuba's economy.” Rubio blamed the country's economic hardship on its communist leadership. He stated, “President Trump is offering a new relationship between the U.S. and Cuba. … First, we are offering $100 million dollars in food and medicine for you, the people. But they must be distributed directly to the Cuban people by the Catholic Church or other trusted charitable groups. Not stolen by [government-run businesses] to sell in one of their stores.” Trump's endorsement defeats Rep. Thomas Massie in Kentucky In the United States, Republican Trump-backed candidates won their primaries on Tuesday.  Most notably, U.S. House candidate Ed Gallrein won a primary in Kentucky against Rep. Thomas Massie. Gallrein won 54.9 percent to 45.1 percent. Massie was an outspoken critic of some of President Trump's actions like the war with Iran.  The race cost $32 million, making it the most expensive contest for the U.S. House of Representatives in history.  U.S. parents more likely to identify as Christian than non-parents The American Bible Society released the second chapter of its report, “State of the Bible: USA 2026.” The survey evaluated parenting and faith. Notably, Gen Z and Millennial parents are much more likely to identify as Christians than people their age who are not parents. Over 60 percent of parents from the younger generations call themselves Christians. Meanwhile, less than 50 percent of non-parents do the same.   Among parents, 29 percent pray with their children regularly and 14 percent read the Bible with them regularly. Those numbers more than doubled among parents who are practicing Christians.  Bibles for the World will distribute 1.4 million copies of John And finally, Bibles For The World hopes to distribute 1.4 million copies of the Gospel of John this coming Saturday.  The global evangelism effort will span over 20 countries on Pentecost Saturday, May 23.  John Pudaite, the president of Bibles for the World, told the Christian News Wire, “It is record-breaking in that it's the single largest provision of Scripture in history for a one-day evangelistic event.” Romans 10:15 says, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, May 21st, in the year of our Lord 2026.
