US inflation held steady in July despite import tariffs, bolstering bets that the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates next month. After the partial dollarisation of the economy in Cuba, the country's peso is trading at an all-time low of 400 to 1 dollar on the informal market.And horror films are at a record high in shares of the US box office. Weapons took $42.5m in its opening weekend in US movie theatres, and Sinners has become the highest-grossing original movie of the 2020s.Throughout the programme, Roger Hearing will be joined by two guests on opposite sides of the world – Andy Uhler is an Energy Journalism Fellow at the University of Texas, US, and Zyma Islam is a journalist for The Daily Star in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
In the U.S., 2025 began with devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, followed by hundreds of tornadoes across the central states, and has recently been marked by catastrophic flooding in Texas and across the South and Midwest. These escalating weather disasters aren't isolated events—they're part of a global pattern in which climate change is making disasters worse, with the most vulnerable communities often getting hit hardest. Professor Farhana Sultana explains how the history of colonialism and ongoing inequalities shape who suffers most from climate disasters, both in the U.S. and around the world. Drawing from her experiences in Bangladesh and her global research, she makes the case for climate justice that addresses power dynamics, not just pollution.

Episode Description Sign up to receive this Unreached of the Day podcast sent to you: Pray for the Dhobi (Hindu traditions) in Bangladesh Dear Friend, The Batak people of North Sumatra didn't have a written language until 1834. Today, they're one of the largest Christian populations in Indonesia, with over 6 million believers. The transformation happened because someone, a German missionary named Ludwig Nommensen, decided their spiritual poverty was unacceptable. That was 190 years ago. Today, 4,473 people groups are still waiting for their Ludwig Nommensen moment. The People Group Adoption Program launches today, and here's how it works: It meets you where you are. You're not being asked to become a missionary in the field (though if God calls you to that, we'll cheer you on). You're being invited to use your current gifts, prayer, advocacy, networking, research to support those who are already called to go. It's strategic. Every people group in our database has been vetted by researchers and field workers. These aren't randomly selected communities. They're the 100 largest frontier people groups, the populations with the least gospel access and the greatest potential for kingdom impact. It grows with your capacity. Whether you're adopting as a family, church, or organization, the commitment adjusts to what you can offer. Some will pray weekly. Others will fund translation projects. A few will end up moving to the field. All contributions matter. When you adopt a people group today, you'll receive: Immediate next steps for your specific adopted group A digital covenant card to mark your commitment Information about your frontier people group Regular updates as we develop more resources and connections Beyond the practical resources, you'll receive something harder to quantify: the knowledge that you're part of a strategic response to the most urgent spiritual need on our planet. The Batak people have been sending missionaries to unreached groups for decades now. Their story didn't end with their own transformation; it multiplied exponentially. Your adopted people group could be the next. Show less Show less

One year ago, a popular uprising in Bangladesh led to the deposal of its long-serving prime minister. It came as the country faces multiple long-term challenges related to climate change, public health and now, political instability and the threat of tariffs.

A student uprising shook Bangladesh, toppling its most powerful leader. After 15 years in office, Sheikh Hasina’s grip on power broke under the pressure of a movement that began with a dispute over government jobs, and ended with her fleeing the country. To mark the anniversary, here’s the first episode of 36 July: Uprising in Bangladesh, the new season of Al Jazeera Investigates. Connect with us: @AJEPodcasts on X, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube
It's Tuesday, August 5th, A.D. 2025. 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 Kevin Swanson with help from Timothy Reed Home evictions of Christians in Chhattisgarh, India continue Hundreds of Indian Christians have been evicted from their homes and banned from their villages in the district of Chhattisgarh because of their faith in Christ. International Christian Concern reports that Abishek was brutally attacked and forced out of his home along with his 2-month-old daughter. They did not know where they would sleep that night. Despite his sudden hardship, he will not return to Hinduism. Abishek said, “We are determined to follow Jesus, no matter what.” He has built his own shelter with polythene covers. He still struggles to find regular work, sometimes six miles from home. He added, “Almost every day when I travel, I think of my family back in the village. Wild thoughts haunt me of ‘What if my family is attacked again? What if they are tortured in my absence?' When I pray to God, my heart is peaceful, and I am comforted through the messages I hear during the Sunday worship.” Argentina's Javier Milei standing strong to get deficit paid off Argentinian President Javier Milei is standing firm against any government funding increases. He has vetoed increased funding for the nation's social security or pension program. Plus, he vetoed another bill passed by the National Congress of Argentina which would have provided pensions for persons with disabilities. Milei insists upon what he calls a “deficit zero.” The goal of zeroing out the deficit is, in his words, “non-negotiable.” Sadly, private charity is not doing well in Argentina. When asked “Have you donated money to charity in the last month?” Gallup discovered that Argentina was 112th on the list for 2024, according to the Buenos Aires Herald. The Scriptures encourage private charity in Deuteronomy 15:11. It says, “For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore, I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor in your land.'” Economies of Germany, Hungary, and Russia are stagnating Europe's largest economy is faltering. Germany's economy is the worst in the world for growth, as the nation faces a third consecutive year of recession. The economy shrunk in 2023 and 2024. Now, 2025 isn't looking much better Hungary and Russia are facing stagnant economies as well. But on the positive side, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Rwanda, and Ethiopia are seeing 6-7% growth in Gross National Income per person this fiscal year. Church of Wales selects lesbian “Archbishop” The utterly apostate Church of Wales has appointed a lesbian named Cherry Vann to head their organization as what they refer to as an “archbishop.” She lives in sexual sin with her lesbian girlfriend named Wendy Diamond. This follows the church's approval of homosexual unions in 2021. Weekly attendance with this national church has dropped off to 0.8% of the population down from 4% in the 1980s. Other denominations only claim about 0.6% of the population. Also, the Scottish Episcopal Church and the Presbyterian Church of Scotland have adopted homosexual marriage ceremonies. Over in England, King Charles III has yet to appoint another Archbishop of Canterbury, after the previous archbishop resigned in the midst of scandal. Matthew 21:18 relates a similar story: “Now in the morning, as [Jesus] returned to the city, He was hungry. And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, ‘Let no fruit grow on you ever again.' Immediately, the fig tree withered away.” Trump upset with India for doing business with Russia U.S. President Donald Trump issued a rebuke to India for doing business with Russia, and funding the Russo-Ukrainian War, by purchasing Russian oil. Trump has imposed a 25% tariff on imports from India, beginning this month, and promises more due to India's partnership with Russia. India now purchases 35-40% of its crude oil from Russia, up from 0.2% before the Russo-Ukrainian War, averaging around 1.8 million barrels per day. China and India constitute Russia's strongest trade partners. China, India, and Russia's Gross Domestic Product combined total $25 trillion. Together, these three economies are about equal to the GDP of the United States. Tensions rise between U.S. and Russia President Donald Trump has ordered nuclear submarines to be on standby near Russia as tensions rise between the United States and Russia. The order came following threats of nuclear retaliation from Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council. Trump responded to the threat on his social media platform called Truth Social. He wrote, “Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances.” Religious groups sue over ICE raids in churches A number of Christian and religious groups, including the Evangelical Lutheran Church and American Baptist Churches USA, have filed a lawsuit in Massachusetts. They're challenging the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's ability to raid churches and religious facilities. The case is being represented by a legal group called Democracy Forward. Reverend Lisa Dunson of the Alliance of Baptists stated, “Raids on Houses of Worship desecrate sacred spaces, violate religious freedom, and spread fear among those seeking peace and refuge.” The Department of Homeland Security has said that criminals will no longer be allowed to hide at churches or schools. Fewer Americans receiving COVID-19 boosters And finally, a new poll found that most Americans are wary of receiving a COVID-19 booster shot this fall. Fifty-nine percent of Americans are completely opposed to the shot or unlikely to receive one, compared to just 40% of Americans who are planning to receive a booster. Republicans are demonstrably less likely to get the shot than Democrats. And the elderly plan to receive boosters at a higher rate than younger generations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ended its COVID-19 shot recommendation for pregnant women and healthy children earlier this year.

Abdur Rashid was a 46 year old Muslim spiritual teacher who came to the UK from Bangladesh in the late 1970s. Abdur lived and worked in London's East End and was known in the local community as a good man. In April 1988 Abdur was murdered with a sharp instrument and his body dumped in Epping Forest. The killer set the body alight, an act that is forbidden in Islam and one that is considered dishonorable. Police managed to piece together some clues but were at a loss as to the motive for such a cold blooded crime. The crime soon disappeared from the headlines as the investigation drew blanks.Sources for the episode can be found hereSupport the showFollow Persons Unknown: Instagram and FacebookEmail: personsunknownpod@gmail.comWebsite with Transcripts:https://personsunknown.buzzsprout.com/

China Plus One: Strategies for Global Supply Chains with Jeff GoldsteinWelcome to another episode of the Asia Business Podcast. Today, we are joined by Co-Host Chris DeAngelis are privileged to welcome Jeff Goldstein, a friend of the show and an expert in supply chain management, sourcing, and contracting in Asia. As the founder and president of Onward Global, Jeff offers invaluable insights into the intricate dynamics of Asian supply chains.Introducing Jeff GoldsteinVisit Onward GlobalJeff Goldstein is a seasoned professional with 15 years of experience in China, overseeing supply chains and founding Onward Global—a consulting and contracting partner specializing in sourcing and supply chain management across Asia. His experience spans multiple countries, including Cambodia, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Indonesia, which provides him with a unique perspective on the evolving landscape of global supply chains.The Impact of COVID-19 and TariffsIn today's episode, Jeff delves into the challenges posed by recent global events, such as COVID-19 lockdowns and increasing tariffs, which have magnified the importance of effective supply chain management. These disruptions have underscored the need for businesses to diversify their supply chains to mitigate risks associated with over-dependence on China.Exploring the China Plus One StrategyJeff highlights the significance of the "China Plus One" strategy, where businesses look to expand their manufacturing and supply chains beyond China to other countries. This approach not only helps in risk management but also in leveraging the varied advantages offered by different regions in Asia. However, Jeff warns that this strategy requires substantial time, resources, and a strong alignment within the company to be successful.Country-Specific Opportunities and ChallengesDrawing from his extensive travel and work across Asia, Jeff shares insights into the specific opportunities and challenges faced by businesses in different countries. For instance, while India presents exciting opportunities due to its raw materials and English-speaking workforce, it also poses challenges related to regulatory barriers and a long-standing focus on the domestic market.The Role of Chinese Factories in Southeast AsiaIn an interesting turn, Jeff uncovers the industrious nature of Chinese businesses that have succeeded in establishing operations in Southeast Asia. These businesses demonstrate remarkable agility and a capacity to set up fully operational factories in countries like Indonesia within just one year, highlighting the dynamic nature of the Asian manufacturing landscape.Overcoming Quality Control ChallengesJeff emphasizes the importance of quality assurance and its critical role in ensuring the success of supply chain operations. He explains how recent economic pressures have increased the risk of corner-cutting in Chinese factories, which reinforces the need for stringent quality control measures and robust contract management.Building a Resilient Supply ChainFor businesses looking to optimize their supply chains, Jeff advises adopting a holistic approach that encompasses risk management, quality assurance, and strategic diversification. He advocates for businesses to be proactive, invest in building local teams, and develop strong relationships with suppliers to ensure sustainable growth.Final Thoughts and Contact InformationFor businesses striving to navigate the complex world of Asian supply chains, Jeff Goldstein stands out as a knowledgeable guide.

In this Week 31 edition of the GMS Weekly Podcast, we examine the latest market shifts as global tariffs ripple through recycling sentiment. India stays active with steady arrivals of high-value tankers and LNGs. Pakistan leads on pricing and continues to secure dry tonnage. Bangladesh remains quiet, grappling with steel backlogs and regulatory hurdles. Turkey sees no change, with a soft Lira and minimal port activity. We also track HKC procedural clarity, regional delivery updates, and what market participants can expect through August. We cover: India's Activity: Tankers and LNGs continue arriving at Alang. Despite currency pressure, HKC-certified infrastructure and strong non-ferrous demand keep India in focus. Pakistan Leads: Firm pricing and consistent steel fundamentals support new arrivals. The Rupee strengthens and provisional DASR yard upgrades add momentum. Bangladesh Slows: Minimal activity at the waterfront. Yard readiness remains mixed, and monsoon delays continue to affect operations. Turkey Stalls: The Lira weakens again. No new arrivals or sales reported.

India is expelling Bengali Muslims - stripping citizenship, detaining and deporting them to Bangladesh. The crackdown has spread nationwide, prompted by years of BJP propaganda and a news media all too willing to sell the story of a Muslim "enemy within". Contributors: Shoaib Daniyal - Political editor, Scroll Fatima Khan - Political journalist Vaishna Roy - Editor, Frontline magazine Paranjoy Guha Thakurta - Journalist and filmmaker On our radar: The images of starving Palestinians in Gaza have provoked global outrage. Israel has launched a PR campaign to deflect blame. Ryan Kohls reports. An interview with Alex Shephard Alex Shephard of The New Republic explains how Donald Trump is putting unprecedented pressure on US media outlets.

The death of Henry Kissinger at 100 years old was celebrated by those who understood his role in some of the most destructive decisions in American and world history. From the endless wars to the Petrodollar paradigm to his push for a world government, the man was always involved when the wars kicked off, usually because he was the one authorizing the actions. From Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, to East Timor, Bangladesh, Argentina, and Chile, Kissinger ordered the bombings of civilians through “terror bombing” campaigns that dropped twice as many bombs on Southeast Asia than all of World War 2 combined. His use of Agent Orange, napalm, cluster bombs, and land mines puts him in a category of evil that few can comprehend. The merchant of death has finally gone to Hell, and the world will be a better place because of it.

They present a grim picture of what they call the final phase of genocide and note both the overwhelming global support for Palestine and the concurrent repression against advocacy and protest. This is a critical episode to listen to and share.Lara Elborno is a Palestinian-American lawyer specialized in international disputes.

Despite efforts from some governments to slowly pull away from climate regulations and actions, one writer discovered a climate revolution through a combination of technology, science and community.“I was looking for our realistic hopes, when we're standing at an existential brink,” said Alan Weisman, author of “Hope Dies Last: Visionary People Across the World, Fighting to Find Us a Future.”“Hope is an active verb, and in place after place I found things that just completely surprised me,” he said.For example, Weisman discovered a modular, wireless energy-sharing system in one of the world's largest refugee camps in Bangladesh, where solar-powered houses connect via Wi-Fi for peer-to-peer energy exchange.“By the end of it, I was so amazed by the solutions that people were coming up with who simply refuse to quit trying,” Weisman said. “These are not people who wait around for miracles to happen.”To hear the full conversation, click play on the audio player above or subscribe to the Climate Cast podcast.

In July 2024 Bangladesh was rocked by protests. They were sparked by anger at widespread corruption, and the reinstatement of a quota system that reserved 30% of civil service jobs for families of war veterans. An estimated 1400 people were killed in the protests which led to Bangladesh's leader of 15 years, Sheikh Hasina, fleeing the country. After months of painstaking investigation, BBC Eye can now reveal how the police response to the protest unfolded and has verified a leaked audio recording in which Sheikh Hasina is heard authorising her security services to use lethal weapons against the protesters. We follow the story of one young man in particular, struggling to find justice for his 19-year-old brother who was among those killed.
