Social media platforms are designed to hijack our brain's reward system, keeping us hooked through endless dopamine hits. This constant stimulation fragments our attention, reshapes our behavior, and can lead to burnout, anxiety, and even addiction—especially in developing brains. The more we scroll, the more we crave quick hits of novelty, making it harder to tolerate boredom or engage in deeper, more meaningful tasks. And while adults may struggle, kids are even more vulnerable, facing emotional dysregulation and long-term brain changes. The good news? Awareness is the first step toward reclaiming agency and creating healthier boundaries in a world built for distraction.

“Russia cannot stand economic pressure”Maria Jevstafjeva speaks to Czech President, Petr Pavel about ending the war between Ukraine and Russia. Mr. Pavel was elected to the role in 2023, having retired from a military career that began with serving in the military of communist Czechoslovakia during the Cold War in the 1980s and ended three decades later after chairing NATO's Military Committee.The first military officer from the former Eastern Bloc to hold the post, he oversaw the Alliance's responses to a number of crises - including the fallout from Russia's 2014 annexation of the Crimean peninsula in Ukraine.As Russia's war on Ukraine continues into its third year, Western leaders are renewing efforts to bring an end to the bloodshed and implement a ceasefire. Mr. Pavel, who was elected on a platform of closer ties with the EU and NATO, believes the only way to do this is by getting Putin to the negotiating table - even if that means allowing Russia to occupy parts of Ukraine, but without recognising Moscow's claim to them.Thank you to Maria Jevstafjeva and Tatina Preobrazhenskaya for their help in making this programme.The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

Israel faces growing international isolation over the shocking images of starvation in Gaza. Although Israel says there are no restrictions on aid deliveries – which it co-ordinates – or any starvation, charities warn the aid being allowed in is only a fraction of what is needed. The BBC is banned by Israel from reporting in Gaza but, in our conversations, doctors and journalists in the territory tell us how shortages of food, water and medical supplies are affecting them and their families. “We are not the same, this is not our shape, this is not our appearance,” Ghada, a journalist working in Gaza City tell us.

Puerto Casado is a remote village in Paraguay, in South America. It's not dissimilar to many other rural towns in the area: red-brick houses, small grocery stores and unpaved roads.

Ronald Avila-Claudio from BBC Mundo has recently been there.

Tally Koren arrived in London with one suitcase and a dream in the late 90s. Against all odds she became an international singer/songwriter. Despite family objections and countless music business rejections, what kept her going was turning every minus to plus, taking every refusal to become better, and every hard situation to do something good to herself and others.Her turning point to fulfill her childhood dreams and to become a singer happened at the age of 26, while she was in a very unhappy marriage. A singing teacher immediately recognised her talent and thought that her low voice is reminiscent of Karen Carpenter.In 2007, Tally made the decision to make her first album and not to wait for the record company. Despite one of the top radio people telling her that she doesn't have a chance to make it nationally because she was over 40, she made the choice to listen to the words of her song “Beauty of the Duty" saying that “the only thing that holds you back is you.” Her song became a national success on BBC radio three weeks later. Many of her other singles have been playlisted with over 1000 radio stations in the UK and around the world.She has performed at the Royal Albert Hall, The National Arboretum, The Belgrade Theatre, Pizza on the Park, Pizza Express, The JW3, Electric Carousel, The Soho Revue Bar, the Forum (Kentish Town), Tate Britain to Celebrate William Blake's birthday, The House of Lords, and opening a football match at the MK Dons Stadium. Her music has been featured in films and television advertisements. Her purpose in life is to inspire people to do what they love. Tally says: “For me, free will is not just a song; it's a journey about resilience, commitment, and my life purpose to inspire people to make the best choices in life, have the courage to go for their dreams, never give up, and take every rejection to become better.” At 61, she still is releasing new music and teaching children how to express themselves through songs.Learn more and follow her: www.tallykoren.comhttps://www.facebook.com/tallykoren/https://twitter.com/tallykorenhttps://www.youtube.com/user/tallykorenwww.instagram.com/tallykoren

Emily Maitlis got one of the biggest scoops in the Epstein story when she interviewed Prince Andrew about his involvement in 2019. She was then a longtime presenter for the BBC, but has since moved onto hosting one of the UK's top podcasts, The News Agents. This week, Ben and Max bring on the British broadcaster turned podcaster about how she thinks of her new medium, if it affects the kind of journalism she does, and if she could still get a Prince Andrew-level interview on a podcast. They also discuss the reignited media attention around Epstein, why everyone is so entranced by the story, and if now, 6 years after her historic interview, she thinks Prince Andrew was guilty.

On Thursday, Ukraine's parliament waved through a bill reversing controversial changes to domestic anti-corruption bodies. The near-unanimous vote wiped out any remaining uncertainty over the future of the institutions, after Zelensky had largely caved to pressure following widespread demonstrations last week.

En la primera parte del programa, Guillermo y yo discutiremos algunas noticias de actualidad. Comenzaremos nuestro debate con el acuerdo comercial alcanzado entre EE. UU. y la UE. ¿Es un acuerdo justo? ¿Ha abusado el presidente estadounidense de la UE? Continuaremos con uno de los acontecimientos más trágicos que están ocurriendo en nuestro planeta: la hambruna en Gaza. El conflicto de Gaza ha provocado importantes desacuerdos entre los israelíes. ¿Hará ello que se produzcan cambios? El segmento de ciencia lo dedicaremos a un estudio que trata la desinformación sobre el clima en las redes sociales. Y concluiremos la primera parte del programa rindiendo tributo a Ozzy Osbourne, legendario líder de Black Sabbath y figura esencial del heavy metal, que ha muerto a los 76 años de edad. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, Complementary Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns. En esta conversación hablaremos de los parques nacionales de España, áreas protegidas con paisajes de una belleza inigualable. Los nombraremos y los describiremos para comprender la gran biodiversidad española. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, ser un cero a la izquierda. La usaremos para desmontar los mitos equivocados que existen alrededor de la figura del rey Carlos II. Un rey que no era tan tonto como nos han hecho creer. En verdad, muchas veces, la historia no es tal como nos la han contado… Los representantes de la UE, criticados por ceder a la intimidación de EE. UU. sobre los aranceles comerciales Los israelíes protestan contra la guerra de Gaza Las redes sociales diseminan la desinformación más rápido que las alertas sobre condiciones meteorológicas extremas Ozzy Osbourne, icono del rock duro y cantante de Black Sabbath, muere a los 76 años de edad Parques naturales de España Mitos sobre Carlos II, apodado El Hechizado

Wie immer sprechen wir im ersten Teil unseres Programms über einige aktuelle Ereignisse. Wir beginnen mit dem Handelsabkommen zwischen den USA und der EU. Ist es ein faires Abkommen? Wurde die EU von Trump unter Druck gesetzt? Anschließend sprechen wir über eine der größten Tragödien, die sich derzeit auf der Welt abspielen – die Hungersnot in Gaza. Der anhaltende Konflikt in Gaza hat zu großen Meinungsverschiedenheiten unter den Israelis geführt. Aber wird das etwas ändern? In unserem Wissenschaftsthema sprechen wir heute über eine Studie, die sich mit Fehlinformationen auf Social Media zum Thema Klima und extremen Wetterereignissen befasst. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil des Programms mit einer Hommage an Ozzy Osbourne. Er war der legendäre Frontmann von Black Sabbath und eine wegweisende Figur des Heavy Metal. Nun ist er im Alter von 76 Jahren gestorben. Der Rest der heutigen Folge ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Im ersten Dialog geht es um Beispiele für das Grammatikthema dieser Woche – Future Tense (Conveying the future with werden). Einige Leute in Deutschland denken, dass zu dramatisch über das Wetter berichtet wird und dass Unwetterwarnungen oft zu Unrecht herausgegeben werden. Darüber kann man streiten. Doch die Art und Weise der Berichterstattung zeigt, wie unberechenbar Wetterphänomene geworden sind. Die 460 km lange Romantische Straße von Würzburg nach Füssen zeigt Deutschland von seiner besten Seite. Zwischen wunderschönen Landschaften, Schlössern und Burgen sowie historischen Städten ist für wirklich jeden etwas dabei. Ein perfektes Thema, um den Gebrauch der Redewendung dieser Woche zu demonstrieren – Ständig auf Achse sein. Kritik an EU-Vertretern wegen Nachgiebigkeit gegenüber dem Druck der USA beim Thema Handelszölle Israelis protestieren gegen den Krieg in Gaza Fehlinformationen werden schneller auf Social Media verbreitet als Warnungen vor extremen Wetterereignissen Hardrock-Ikone und Leadsänger von Black Sabbath Ozzy Osbourne ist tot Dramatisierung des Wetterberichts Die Romantische Straße

Today, a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake off Russia's far eastern coast has triggered tsunami warnings across the Pacific.The quake struck near Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula at about 11:25am local time on Wednesday (00:25 BST) and is thought to be one of the most powerful ever recorded. Around two million people were ordered to evacuate in Japan, Russia, and Hawaii - although many of those warnings have since been downgraded.Joining Adam live from Tokyo is Shaimaa Khalil, the BBC's Tokyo Correspondent, with the latest on the situation in Japan.Adam also speaks to Dr Rebecca Bell, Associate Professor in Tectonics at Imperial College London, and BBC Science Correspondent Victoria Gill.You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

The Conflicted Community is delighted to welcome back on to the show Philip Cunliffe, Associate Professor of International Relations at UCL and co-host of BungaCast! In this insightful conversation, Thomas and Philip dive into his new book, "The National Interest: Politics After Globalization."  They trace the evolution of the national interest from medieval times to today, discussing its distinction from nationalism and how it can foster genuine international cooperation. The episode also explores the rise and fall of national interest politics in the 20th century, contrasting it with earlier and later forms of globalization. Philip and Thomas then unpack the surprising relationship between progressive neoliberalism and populism, showing how these seemingly opposing forces often reinforce each other. They then tackle the crucial challenge of building new nations in a diverse, post-industrial world, emphasizing the importance of shared political will and collective interest, and offering a compelling argument for why a renewed focus on the national interest is vital for navigating 21st-century politics and revitalizing democratic engagement.

The BBC has found that five women who were exploited by so-called grooming gangs in Rotherham as children say they were also abused by police officers in the town at the time. One woman says she was raped repeatedly in a marked police car, and threatened with being handed back to the gang if she didn't comply. The BBC's Ed Thomas brings us the story and Clare McDonnell hears from Professor Alexis Jay who is the author of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse and Zoë Billingham, former His Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary. New mums are often inundated with advice, whether that's from their own mums or well meaning women in their lives. Increasingly though, given the sheer amount of our lives that takes place on social media the advice can come straight through our phones. It's led to what the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) is calling 'advice overwhelm'. They say two thirds of new mums surveyed felt being inundated with advice added to the pressures of motherhood. It also found a third of new parents feel it's 'self-indulgent' to seek therapy and support. Clare is joined by Georgina Sturmer from BACP and Emma Gould, a mum of three who has experience of this. Julie is a new play about Julie Livingstone, a 14-year-old girl who died after being struck by a plastic bullet fired from an Army Saracen in May 1981 in Belfast, at the height of the hunger strike crisis. It is written and performed by her niece, award-winning actress Charlotte McCurry, who wasn't born when the tragedy happened but has grown up with Julie's legacy. Charlotte joins Clare. With the women's Euro's over, talk has turned to what next for the women's game in this country. One club which often gets mentioned when looking at alternative ways of running a football club is Lewes FC in East Sussex. It gained national attention back in 2017 when it became the first club in the world to pay its men and women equally. It hasn't been smooth sailing and there are questions even now about its financial viability, but one of those who championed its move to gender equality is Karen Dobres. She's even written a book about it – Pitch Invasion, my story as a feminist on a Football Club Board. Karen joins Clare in the studio. Presenter: Clare McDonnell Producer: Emma Pearce

UKPolitics #LanceForman #JonGaunt #KeirStarmer #Gaza #Hamas #Trump Jon Gaunt sits down with former Brexit Party MEP and leading businessman Lance Forman for a hard-hitting interview on UK politics, the Middle East, Donald Trump, and the future of Britain. Lance blasts Keir Starmer's “ceasefire ultimatum” as a dangerous gamble — accusing him of rewarding terrorism, ignoring Donald Trump's influence, and pandering to his backbenchers over fears of Jeremy Corbyn's political comeback. He argues that Israel has already offered a ceasefire, and that Hamas is holding things up.  He doesn't hold back on the BBC, accusing it of bias and a hidden anti-Semitic agenda in British politics and media. Lance warns that Starmer's first year in office has been a disaster, and predicts: “There's no way back for Starmer… and that's quite dangerous.”  From Trump's approach to business, immigration, and taxes to the lack of real-world experience in the UK's political elite, Lance delivers an unfiltered take on why Britain is “in such a mess.”  He also defends Nigel Farage from the Jimmy Savile smear, calling him the most charismatic leader in UK politics today.  In this explosive conversation, Lance also reveals: • Why Trump “gets” the Middle East and Starmer doesn't • The truth about Brexit and Theresa May • Why a new definition of Islamophobia is unnecessary •  How political inexperience is crippling Britain's leadership  If you care about UK politics, Brexit, free speech, or the Middle East, you won't want to miss this.  #Brexit #LanceForman #JonGaunt #KeirStarmer #Ceasefire #Israel #Hamas #Trump #BBCBias #UKPolitics #NigelFarage #Corbyn #MiddleEast #Islamophobia #TheresaMay #BrexitParty  Lance Forman, jon gaunt, keir starmer, gaza, ceasefire, israel, hamas, trump, bbc bias, uk politics, nigel farage, corbyn, middle east, islamophobia, theresa may, brexit party, starmer gaza gamble, starmer is finished, dangerous times ahead, uk government, labour party, political crisis, british politics, farage next pm
