FOLLOW UP: US UK TRADE DEAL IS ACTUALLY REALFollowing our confusion, last week, on what had actually been signed, it appears that the US and UK have indeed signed an actual, real trade deal. This means that for up to 100,000 cars exported to the US, there will only be an additional 10% tariff added, instead of 25%. Click this Autocar article link here, to read more.

Only people outside of specific areas, travelling through, have asked for a return to the higher speed and have not been considered. As a result, no roads are going back.

DEALER TO PAY FOR INFOTAINMENT REPLACEMENT SHOCKA ruling by the Motor Ombudsman has stated that a dealer must pay for the full replacement costs of a broken infotainment system as it was deemed unsatisfactory quality.

Donald Trump har varit USA:s president sen i januari och har sen dess haft fullt upp. Trump gick bland annat till val på att han inte skulle starta något krig utan istället få slut på krig och konflikter runt om i världen. Under våren har han medlat mellan Ryssland och Ukraina, försökt få Israel att sluta bomba Gaza och nu försökt lugna ner stämningen mellan Israel och Iran. Vad vill Trump med sin inblandning i de olika konflikterna? Har han några långsiktiga strategier och vad händer om han får till vapenvilor på flera håll?

Had a late guest drop out, which gave me the chance to get stuck into some fairly big news stories which have broke since last week. From Trump bombing Iran's nuclear facilities to Starmer seemingly not having a view either way. From bad economic news to Farage robbing the rich to feed the poor. I also discuss the BBC News presenter bold enough to correct some language around pregnancy. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There's No Bloke Without Fire'.

USA bombade i helgen Irans kärnanläggningar. Den amerikanska operationen kallades ”Midnight Hammer", men hur mycket som förstördes i attackerna är oklart. Iran svarade med att attackera Israel men världen väntar nu på hur Iran även ska agera mot USA. Det är två veckor sedan Israel inledde sina attacker mot Iran, samtidigt som konflikten i Gaza fortsätter. Hur påverkar USA:s inblandning konflikten?

Today, President Trump says he knows where Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is but "we" won't kill him - "at least not for now".In a series of posts on social media, he went on to demand an 'unconditional surrender', as Iran and Israel fire missiles for a fifth day.

Rajini Vaidyanathan, BBC News presenter and correspondent, speaks to Muhammad Yunus, interim leader of Bangladesh.The 84-year-old is perhaps one of the world's best-known Bangladeshis. Described as the banker to the world's poor, he gained international recognition as a Nobel prize-winning economist, who founded the Grameen microfinance bank, which delivered small loans to economically deprived people.It was a model applauded by many and is one which now operates across more than 100 countries worldwide. But it's also a model which was criticised by his political rival - Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who accused Mr Yunus of sucking blood from the poor. Her government made a series of allegations against him, including embezzlement, all of which he denies.And it was the overthrow of Sheikh Hasina's government last August that saw Muhammad Yunus thrust into the political spotlight.Student-led protests saw thousands take to the streets in an uprising against her Awami league government, which was accused of election rigging, human rights abuses and jailing critics.When Ms Hasina fled to neighbouring India, student leaders picked Muhammad Yunus to unite a divided nation. As well as promising to stamp out corruption, he's also faced the challenges of managing a refugee crisis on his doorstep and navigating cuts to foreign aid.So, after nearly a year in the job, how is he faring?

Indira Gandhi's ascent as prime minister of India in 1966 seems obvious with the benefit of hindsight, but it was entirely unforeseen at the time.Within years—if not months—she emerged as one of the most powerful political leaders of her era—serving as prime minister for fifteen years, leaving behind a complex and deeply controversial legacy.A new book by the historian Srinath Raghavan, Indira Gandhi and the Years that Transformed India, unpacks that legacy, uncovering fresh material that challenges much of the conventional wisdom we've accumulated over the years.Srinath is professor of international relations and history at Ashoka University and nonresident scholar at Carnegie India. He is the author of several celebrated books, including India's War: The Making of Modern South Asia and Fierce Enigmas: A History of the United States in South Asia.He joins Milan on the show this week to discuss Gandhi's unforeseen right to power, the daunting conditions which greeted her premiership, and her improvisatory leadership during the 1971 war. Plus, the two discuss Gandhi's mixed economic legacy, the onset of the Emergency, and how our understanding of the “long 1970s” must be updated.Episode notes:1.

Donald Trump har tröttnat på Vladimir Putin och kallar honom för galen. Kreml svarar med att kalla Trump känslosam och att attackera Ukraina hårdare än någonsin. När Trump tillträdde lovade han fred i Ukraina inom 24 timmar, men förhandlingarna för att få till fred har misslyckats. Men det är inte bara den amerikanske presidenten som har tröttnat, även senatorer i USA kräver nu kraftiga sanktioner mot Ryssland. Enligt Trump så kan det bli nya sanktioner mot landet de närmaste dagarna. Vad innebär de hårda orden mellan presidenterna? Blir det tuffare sanktioner mot Ryssland och kommer Trump ge upp fredsförhandlingarna? Gäst: Wolfgang Hansson, utrikespolitisk kommentator på Aftonbladet. Programledare och producent: Jenny Ågren.

Hochul to continue supporting New York City's Congestion Pricing plan and fight against the federal government's insane attempts to shut it down. This policy has already decreased traffic congestion, reduced travel times for people of all income brackets traveling into the city, increased business-friendly foot traffic in the city, and raised much needed revenues to improve our public transportation system. We cannot allow the federal government to bully our state into reversing a popular and effective policy, and I ask that you continue doing everything in your power to make sure the policy remains in effect.

What's going on inside Labour? After the prime minister's recent u-turn on winter fuel allowance, a previously fixed policy, and hints of more u-turns to come, it's becoming less and less clear what Labour are offering.A leaked memo implying divisions and unhappiness at the direction of travel means some in the party may be looking at deputy prime minister Angela Rayner, as credible opposition to Keir Starmer. She might also be better placed to take on Nigel Farage. This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

Cruelty is never far away from some homes - some people suffer largely in silence, and when that cruelty begins to show, they will come out with allsorts of reasoning. 'I fell. I bumped into this or that'.It's a very real thing is domestic violence, and the tale I bring this time around shows it isn't always the archetypal abuser that is commonly perceived.

When 19-year-old Shana Grice reported her stalker to the police, they didn't just dismiss her—they fined her. Months later, she was found murdered in her bedroom, her throat slashed, and her home set on fire. The man responsible had a documented history of harassment, and Shana had done everything she could to be heard. In this episode, I tell the devastating story of Shana Grice—a young woman who was failed at every turn by the very system meant to protect her. I'll go over the red flags that were ignored, the chilling behavior of her killer, and how one police department's negligence became a national scandal. This is more than a true crime story. It's a warning.If you are in a situation where you are being stalked or harassed by a partner or a stranger you can contact:(In America) The Stalking Prevention, Awareness, and Resource Center (SPARC) at info@stalkingawareness.orgor call them at (202) 558-0040(In the UK) The National Stalking Help Line www.stalkinghelpline.orgor call them at 0808 802 0300Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comFeaturing a Promo for True Crime Connections PodcastWe honor deep healing while also making room for laughter, lightness, and moments of joy.

Winnie - the real-life bear who inspired A.A. Milne to create Winnie-the-Pooh - died at London Zoo on 12th May, 1934. Brought to the UK by Canadian soldier Harry Colbourn, who'd named her after Winnipeg, the approachable bear took up residence at the Zoo during the First World War, where she became a favourite with visiting children, who were permitted to ride on her back and feed her treats. One such visitor was none other than Christopher Robin. In this episode, The Retrospectors explain why Winnie's enclosure was an architectural triumph; consider A.A. Milne's attempt to distance his family from Pooh's legacy; and discover that the literary Pooh could have been a swan… Further Reading: • ‘The True Story of the Real-Life Winnie-the-Pooh' (HISTORY, 1934): https://www.history.com/news/the-true-story-of-the-real-life-winnie-the-pooh • ‘The skull of the 'real' Winnie goes on display' (BBC News, 2015): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-34844669 • ‘The bear who inspired Winnie-the-Pooh' (ZSL, 2014): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdOymRprTqM Love the show?

Can a student inherit time? What difference does time make to their educational journeys and outcomes? The Time Inheritors: How Time Inequalities Shape Higher Education Mobility in China (SUNY Press, 2025) draws on nearly a decade of field research with more than one hundred youth in China to argue that intergenerational transfers of privilege or deprivation are manifested in and through time. Comparing experiences of rural-to-urban, cross-border, and transnational education, Cora Lingling Xu shows how inequalities in time inheritance help drive deeply unequal mobility. With its unique focus on time, nuanced comparative analysis, and sensitive ethnographic engagement, The Time Inheritors opens new avenues for understanding the social mechanisms shaping the future of China and the world. Dr Cora Lingling Xu (PhD Cambridge) is Associate Professor at Durham University, UK. Cora is a sociologist interested in education mobilities and social inequalities. Her research examines how the intersection of class, time, rural-urban divides, gender, ethnicity, and geopolitics can shape social agents' educational and life trajectories. She is an executive editor of the British Journal of Sociology of Education. Cora's research on Chinese international students has been featured in BBC Radio 4's documentary 'Chinese on Campus', and on BBC News. Her email address is lingling.xu@durham.ac.uk. Yadong Li is a socio-cultural anthropologist-in-training. He is registered as a PhD student at Tulane University. His research interests lie at the intersection of economic anthropology, development studies, hope studies, and the anthropology of borders and frontiers.

In this episode, I speak with Professor Guy Leschziner, a consultant neurologist and author of three bestselling books, including: “The Man Who Tasted Words”, “The Secret World of Sleep”, and “The Seven Deadly Sins”, which this interview focuses on. Drawing on insights from evolutionary biology, genetics, and clinical neurology, Guy makes a compelling case that what we label as “sin” may often have a biological cause, and isn't necessarily a moral failing. Expect to learn: — Why our so-called “sins” evolved as adaptive traits—and why they still serve a purpose — How free will may be more of a spectrum than a binary — Why understanding the biology of behaviour could radically change the criminal justice system — The disturbing story of Robert Alton Harris—and what it reveals about judgment, compassion, and accountability And more. You can learn more about Guy's work at https://www.guyleschziner.com. --- Dr Guy Leschziner is a neurologist with special expertise in sleep disorders and epilepsy.
