In the wake of the most intense India-Pakistan escalation in two decades, experts are still trying to make sense of the role that the information war played in the physical one. In this episode, Tech Policy Press Associate Editor Ramsha Jahangir speaks to two experts from India and Pakistan who tirelessly navigated the deluge of rumor and disinformation during the crisis, and who came away with thoughts about the role of social media platforms and the incentives they create, particularly in times of conflict:Pratik Sinha, co-founder and editor at Alt News—one of India's major fact-checking websites, and Asad Baig, founder of Media Matters for Democracy—a non-profit focused on media literacy and development in Pakistan.Sinha and Baig reflect on how the India-Pakistan conflict played out across digital platforms—and how it revealed a deeper, more dangerous dysfunction in the information ecosystem.

2026 m. sausio 1 d. įsigaliosianti naujoji Karo prievolės įstatymo redakcija bei su ja įsigaliosianti šaukimo reforma kelia daugybę klausimų šiųmečių dešimtokų bei jaunesnių vaikinų tėvams.Ar tikrai šie jaunuoliai, vos tik jiems sukaks 18 metų ir jie baigs gimnazijas ar profesines mokyklas, bus pašaukti atlikti devynių mėnesių trukmės privalomosios karo tarnybos? Ar tikrai jie po gimnazijos iš karto negalės stoti į universitetus bei kolegijas, kaip buvo iki šiol (ir tik baigę studijas atlikti pareigą tėvynei)? Svarbu ir tai ar išliks galimybė studentams atlikti privalomąją karo tarnybą (per keletą metų) savaitgaliais?O ir kiek tiesos, kad kai kurių profesijų atstovai, kaip antai gydytojai, slaugytojai, akušeriai, avionikos ar aviacijos bei kiti trūkstamų kariuomenėje kvalifikacijų specialistai į privalomąją pradinę karo tarnybą bus šaukiami net iki 31-erių metų? Taip pat ar bus galima atlikti alternatyvią tarnybą?LRT radijo švietimo laidoje dalyvauja: Krašto apsaugos ministerijos viceministras Karolis Aleksa bei Lietuvos kariuomenės Karo prievolės ir komplektavimo tarnybos direktorius Arūnas Balčiūnas.Ved.

Raseiniškiai Laima ir Vytautas Našlėnai – ekonomistė ir teisininkas, ieškojo senos sodybos poilsiui kaime. Susirado sau tinkamą su šimtamečiu gyvenamuoju namu, senoviniais ūkiniais pastatais, keliais hektarais žemės, gražioje vietoje prie trijų upelių. Vieta poilsiui pasirinkta prieš 20 metų, bet jau anuomet abu suprato, kad sodybai reikia gyvybės. Dabar miestiečiai tapę ir ūkininkais: laiko mėsinių galvijų, avių, turi šiltnamį, bičių, o žąsinas Leo, prieš dešimtmetį gautas dovanų Kalėdoms, iki šiol oriai vaikščioja po sodybą, tarsi, rodydamas šeimininkų požiūrį į harmoniją gamtoje.Mėnuo liko iki žemės ūkio naudmenų ir pasėlių deklaravimo pradžios. Pastaraisiais metais pavasariais kildavo nemažai nesusipratimų ir įtampų žemdirbių bendruomenėje dėl laiku neparengtų taisyklių, jų keitimo deklaravimo metu. O kaip bus šiemet? Žemės ūkio ministerijos departamento vadovė Jurgita Stakėnienė teigia, kad pasiruošta geriau. Lietuvos ūkininkų sąjungos vicepirmininkas Gedas Špakauskas irgi sako, kad pakeitimų numatyta ne daug, o Lietuvos ekologinių ūkių asociacijos pirmininkas Mindaugas Petkevičius – skeptiškas, per mažai atsižvelgta į ekologinių ūkių siūlymus.Ved.

"People always ask us this question, what can I learn from that country? People ask us about this from the report especially when we're talking to policymakers, or what should I learn from Malaysia? What should I learn? The thing to learn is  to not learn  to replicate exactly.  But the thing to learn is sort of what are the principles behind what works for them. What are your comparative advantages, Every country needs to be asking that for themselves. So for Vietnam, comparative advantages are things like  proximity to China, and an ability at a geopolitical level to navigate between the U.S. and China.  They do this pretty delicately, given their history with both countries. There's an acquiescence by the major powers also to not force Vietnam to take sides. And, you know, and so it's a delicate balancing game that ASEAN always plays ..." - Gullnaz Baig Fresh out of the studio, Gullnaz Baig, executive director from the Angsana Council, shares her perspectives on the "Southeast Asia Outlook 2024-2034: Navigating the High Winds" report by Angsana Council, DBS and Bain & Co.

This episode is a continuation of our exploration into how the demanding environment of medical education can contribute to mental health struggles, including depression and suicidality. Description of Series  DWDI Special Series: Suicidality in Medical Training dives into the critical conversations around mental health, well-being, support systems, and the intense pressures faced during medical training. Through the power of storytelling, the series intertwines these broader themes with the deeply personal story of Dr. Jack Ruddell, a promising medical student who tragically died by suicide. Jack's journey—his strengths, struggles, and the complexities leading to his untimely death—forms the emotional core of this five-part series, giving voice to the loved ones often excluded from these conversations. Alongside Jack's story, the series incorporates expert insights and data from the literature, offering a human perspective on burnout, depression, and suicide among medical trainees. With a commitment to improving mental health awareness and reducing the stigma around seeking help, the series presents a novel approach by centering personal narratives alongside expert analysis. It also explores actionable strategies for improving medical training environments and highlights the importance of institutional responses after a loss by suicide. Our mission is to reduce shame, encourage help-seeking among medical students struggling with depression, and ensure that every medical school is aware of the postvention resources offered by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).

Warning:  This content addresses mental health issues, including research and narratives on suicide. Please take care while engaging with it and only proceed if you feel safe doing so. If you, or someone you love, is having thoughts of suicide, please contact 988. Help is available. Interviewer Lisa Meeks   Interviewees John Ruddell Jennifer Ruddell Roja (friend of Jack Ruddell) Dr. Christine Moutier  Dr. Jessi Gold   Narrator Dr. Joseph Murray    Description In this deeply moving episode, host Lisa Meeks introduces a special series dedicated to exploring the mental health crisis among medical trainees, with a focus on the tragic story of Dr. Jack Ruddell. Joined by Jack's parents, John and Jennifer Ruddell, and his close friend Roja, we delve into Jack's life, his struggles with depression and anxiety, and the immense pressures faced by medical students. Dr. Joseph Murray, a psychiatrist at Weill Cornell Medical College, provides expert insights into the high rates of burnout, depression, and suicide in the medical field. We also hear from Dr. Christine Moutier, Chief Medical Officer of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and Dr. Jessie Gold, a respected psychiatrist and author, who discuss the unique challenges and cultural issues within medical training that contribute to mental health struggles. This episode aims to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues, encourage medical learners to seek help, and advocate for systemic changes in medical education to foster a more supportive and compassionate environment. Description of Series  DWDI Special Series: Suicidality in Medical Training dives into the critical conversations around mental health, well-being, support systems, and the intense pressures faced during medical training. Through the power of storytelling, the series intertwines these broader themes with the deeply personal story of Dr. Jack Ruddell, a promising medical student who died by suicide. Jack's journey—his strengths, struggles, and the complexities leading to his untimely death—forms the emotional core of this five-part series, giving voice to the loved ones often excluded from these conversations. Alongside Jack's story, the series incorporates expert insights and data from the literature, offering a human perspective on burnout, depression, and suicide among medical trainees. With a commitment to improving mental health awareness and reducing the stigma around seeking help, the series presents a novel approach by centering personal narratives alongside expert analysis. It also explores actionable strategies for improving medical training environments and highlights the importance of institutional responses after a loss by suicide. Our mission is to reduce shame, encourage help-seeking among medical students struggling with depression, and ensure that every medical school is aware of the postvention resources offered by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).

Today's guest is a master of the aviation class of business, but is also a well-known and respected market figure across classes, holding key positions in market committees and international insurance trade bodies and non-insurance organisations alike. Bruce Carman has been a leading aviation and war underwriter since the late 1980s and after over 30 years at the heart of the Lloyd's market, started his own specialist MGA, Hive Underwriters in 2017. That business has grown rapidly and has begun to mature and scale and so now seems an excellent time to get Bruce on the show. The aviation market is in a fascinating position post the Russian invasion of Ukraine and part of our talk will be an incredibly useful listen for any generalist who might feel that aviation is sometimes a specialism too far for them. But that wouldn't be doing justice to Bruce and this discussion. Listening back, what this podcast is really about is examining the art of becoming a good and highly focused underwriter and insurance entrepreneur. Bruce is incredibly good company and is very generous with his time and insights. My overriding impression is of someone having the time of their life. Bruce is someone who has been given the opportunity to start from scratch and be fast-paced and nimble in applying the best practices and technology available today to a lifetime of frontline high-performing underwriting experience.   NOTES Abbreviations: EASA = the European Union Aviation Safety Agency WAIG and BAIG = Respectively the Westminster and British Aviation Insurance Groups – early UK aviation pools. BAIG is a forerunner of today's Global Aerospace. Appointed Rep = Appointed Representative. A UK term where a younger firm gains regulatory (usually FCA) authorisation via an arrangement with a fully-regulated firm.

While most five-year-olds were playing with Legos and Barbies, Junaid Baig was taking his first steps with 3D Max. From this early start, Junaid developed an incredibly in-depth understanding of 3D, lighting, and rendering from working on VFX for movies, including Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Avengers: Endgame, and Venom. Today, Junaid is head of applied technology at DNEG, where he's helping pioneer virtual production on films and series including Masters of the Air. Junaid combines his knowledge and passion for technology with deep respect for artists, and he reveals how virtual production — and Chaos' Project Arena — are changing the way crew and cast can work together to create new worlds for audiences to enjoy.

There are several ways to guide. The most reliable way is to give the person a compass to find direction, a map with details of the route and a guide to take them to their destination.
