A new era of defence readiness.James Copnall, presenter of the BBC's Newsday speaks to Andrius Kubilius, EU Commissioner for Defence and Space, about the need for Europe to be able to defend itself.In an interview recorded before the Nato summit on 24/25 June 2025, Mr Kubilius, a former Prime Minister of Lithuania, says peace in Europe cannot be taken for granted and that Europe can no longer rely on American military backing. Therefore, defence readiness must be a priority, meaning increased spending commitments from Nato members, and a unified, quick and clear approach across Europe to building defence capabilities. This, he believes, is the only way to deter the threat of further Russian aggression.But some Nato member states may struggle to meet the proposed increased spending target of 3.5% of GDP on defence. A few still haven't met the current goal of 2%, set more than a decade ago. However, other European nations are already boosting spending to 5% including countries living in close proximity to Russia, such as Poland, Estonia and Lithuania. Overall, Europe still only accounts for 30% of Nato's total military spending, a figure that has prompted US President Trump to demand a much greater contribution from European members.Thank you to the Newsday team for their help in making this programme.

Luke 7:18-35

Send us a textRest for the Restless Soul – Finding Peace in God AloneHave you ever felt that gnawing restlessness deep in your soul—the kind that no amount of scrolling, spending, or socializing seems to satisfy? David understood this struggle, and in Psalm 62:1 declared, “My soul finds rest in God alone.”In this powerful episode, we dive into the revolutionary truth that lasting peace cannot be found in social media feeds, financial gain, personal success, or even religious activity. Our soul's deepest need is met only in the presence and person of God.This message uncovers the emptiness of external validation and leads us back to the one source that truly satisfies: a living, growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Through Scripture and practical insight, you'll be encouraged to realign your focus from the temporary to the eternal.Even more striking is the perspective shared on obstacles and opposition. Instead of seeing trials and enemies as setbacks, this episode teaches that they are stepping stones to your God-given purpose. Just as Jesus used the cross—an instrument of torment—to secure eternal victory, God is using the pressure in your life to elevate you, not crush you.You'll be reminded that the enemy is not above you—he is under your feet. And no matter what you're walking through, you're not sinking—you're standing on solid, divine ground.Whether you're battling depression, anxiety, illness, fear, or relational brokenness, this message offers a holy perspective shift. God's Word becomes your anchor, your footing, and your forward motion.We invite you to connect with us at pastorbencooper.co.uk to share your testimony, submit prayer requests, or dive deeper into spiritual resources that will help you find rest for your soul—in God alone.Why true peace is found in God—not in people or possessionsHow to stop chasing emotional highs and start living by truthThe biblical view of obstacles as divine launchpadsHow to recognize and silence internal and external enemiesWhat soul-rest really means in today's busy worldPsalm 62:1 – “My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him.”Romans 16:20 – “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.”John 16:33 – “In this world you will have trouble.

There's something exhilarating about diving into a pool of unknowns. Whether we're reviewing plans for a new project or Ben Cooper is creating a new dish, the thrill of creation emerges from the same curiosity that pushes us beyond what we already know. In our latest conversation with Ben, the executive chef at Melbourne's iconic Chin Chin restaurant, we unearthed profound lessons on staying curious, leading teams, and blending passions with our work. Whether you're picking up a hammer or a ladle, the drive to create, to continuously learn, and to merge personal passion with work is universal. Our chat with Ben Cooper reinforced that every industry, no matter how different, speaks the same language of curiosity and creativity at its core.LINKS:Thanks to Hip Vs Hype for having usConnect with us on Instagram: @themindfulbuilderpodConnect with Hamish:Instagram: @sanctumhomesWebsite: www.yoursanctum.com.au/Connect with Matt: Instagram: @carlandconstructionsWebsite: www.carlandconstructions.com/

Send us a textCan the Ten Commandments Transform Our Modern Lives? A Deep Dive into Commandments 1 & 2 with Ben Cooper and Simon Pinchbeck | Christian Podcasting InsightIn this powerful episode of 1-2 of the Ten Commandments, your hosts Ben Cooper and Simon Pinchbeck of #ChristianStraightTalk dive deep into the timeless significance of the Ten Commandments—specifically Commandments 1 and 2—and how they continue to offer moral clarity in today's increasingly secular world. This episode explores how these ancient biblical laws can still transform lives, both on a personal level and within the global Christian community.As Christian podcasters, Ben and Simon reflect on the effects of the removal of the Ten Commandments from public institutions and the consequences this has on society's ethical standards. Despite these challenges, the Ten Commandments remain a foundational blueprint for moral living—a guide for both individual believers and the Church at large. Drawing from the book of Exodus 20, these commandments are not just historical texts; they provide spiritual direction in our daily lives, helping us navigate an ever-changing world.In this episode, we delve into Jesus Christ's teachings in Matthew 22, where He emphasizes the two greatest commandments: to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself. The Ten Commandments encapsulate this powerful message, and understanding their relevance in today's world is essential for Christians seeking to live with purpose, integrity, and compassion. As Christian influencers, Ben and Simon explore how figures like Billy Graham championed these divine principles to build a compassionate, just society rooted in God's love.The podcast addresses a pressing issue—modern idolatry—and how it impacts Christian living in today's digital age. With the distractions of social media, technology, and consumerism, many Christians struggle to stay focused on spiritual growth. This episode emphasizes the importance of turning back to biblical wisdom and faith-based values, so we can break free from the idolatry of materialism and reconnect with our calling as faithful followers of Christ.Another key topic in this episode is how embracing the Ten Commandments can alleviate not only personal struggles but also global challenges like poverty, injustice, and division. By restoring love, respect, and integrity to our communities, we can begin to heal the wounds of society and build a more compassionate world. The conversation highlights how Christian discipleship can lead to a deeper relationship with God and a more meaningful connection with others.Ben and Simon also tackle the spiritual battle of generational curses—the inherited struggles that hold families and individuals captive. The episode draws from the power of Jesus Christ's redemption to break these chains and restore freedom in our lives. By embracing the light of Christ, we can escape the shackles of sin and embrace a future of hope and transformation. Through faithful leadership and spiritual renewal, this episode is an invitation to embrace the full freedom found in living according to God's will.Finally, this episode is a call to Christians worldwide to embrace the spiritual freedom that comes with the Ten Commandments. By following God's moral law, believers can break free from the pressures of modern society and embrace a life of godly purpose, spiritual clarity, and divine wisdom.

James Graham's writing obsession started at the age of six in the shadow of Nottinghamshire's former coalmines. Equipped with a typewriter from his mother he created hundreds of stories from the family home in Kirkby-in-Ashfield. Accelerating through university in Hull and a writing residency in west London, Graham's work started to attract wider audiences following a break at the National Theatre in 2012. Building on his thrilling political drama This House, he went on to write plays and TV series including Sherwood, Dear England, Quiz, Best of Enemies and Brexit: The Uncivil War.During this year's MacTaggart lecture at the Edinburgh TV Festival, he called for more working-class people in TV. But what next for this prolific playwright? Stephen Smith speaks to his family, friends and colleagues to find out more.

Engineers across the globe, from China to East Africa and the US, are turning to a new, nature-based solutions to fight floods, which are becoming more likely in many places because of climate change. They're taking a pickaxe to asphalt and concrete and instead are restoring wetlands, parks and riverbanks, turning our metropolises into so-called ‘sponge cities'. Plants, trees and lakes act just like a sponge, mopping up rainwater instead of letting it pool and eventually flood our homes. Professor Priti Parikh tells Jordan Dunbar how these spongey solutions have many benefits beyond flooding, encouraging biodiversity, helping our mental health and storing the planet warming gas, carbon dioxide. The BBC's China Correspondent, Laura Bicker, meets the man who came up with the concept, Professor Kongjian Yu, and visits Zhengzhou, a sponge city in the making. And Katya Reyna tells Jordan how her NGO is helping low-income communities in Portland in the US to ‘depave' disused car parks, turning them into plant-oases.

This week it's Sam's turn to share a Disney Channel original movie with the 1999 movie Smart House. Ben Cooper is your average 13-year-old kid completely distraught at the loss of his mother and so desperate to keep his family from changing further that he sabotages his dad's attempts at dating. You know, healthy stuff. Ben isn't only a severely troubled kid, he's also a computer nerd and spends all his free time entering online contests, the most recent of which is to win a smart house. Ben, of course, wins, and this smart house his family moves into is amazing and can do pretty much anything including using its terrible tentacle arms to harass the local paper boy. It was apparently entirely built and programmed by one woman, Sara, working for a company that does...something, though nothing related to this house it seems since they basically give it away and never look back. At first, Pat, the house's AI, is amazing, making smoothies and cleaning up messes, but when she starts to glitch Ben's dad calls Sara in, and uses that as an excuse to date her. Ben is not having this and decides to reprogram Pat to be all the mother they could ever need (yikes!) and, setting aside how a child could reprogram this technological marvel, Ben clearly needs immediate therapy, as is common for most of the characters in our media. Things, predictably, go haywire from there, and then we are left to wonder if Ben's family can survive Pat's intense mothering, and if Ben will ever address his deep grief and trauma over the loss of his mother. But as this is a Disney movie, instead of therapy we get the delightful 90s pastiche that warms our hearts, including Ben and his friends performing a choreographed boy band dance. Even better, there's a rat named Butler here to help!

Welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. This week we continue our series on Purple Patch Case Studies, where we hear first-hand experiences of time-starved athletes on their journey towards improved performance in sports and life. This week, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon welcomes Purple Patch athlete Ben Cooper to the show. Like most Purple Patch athletes, Ben has a lot on his plate. He is a managing director at a major real estate company based in London, and he is also a devoted father of a three-year-old. Despite his busy schedule, he juggles all his responsibilities while dealing with weekly travel obligations. Ben's life is complex and time-starved, but he is determined to make it all work. Two years ago, when Ben was first introduced to Matt and Purple Patch Fitness, he struggled. Ben was dealing with exhaustion, burnout, and mental health challenges stemming from the stress of having a child during the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many people at the time, he felt lost and overwhelmed. A former rugby player, Ben had lost his fitness, gained weight, had low energy, had terrible sleep, and had no idea how to break free from the negative cycle he was stuck in. In Ben's own words, he was surviving, not thriving.  Ben discusses his challenges in jumpstarting his athletic journey and the strategies he learned through his coaching relationship with Matt to incorporate movement into his daily routine. Ben and Matt discuss the profound impact this had on shifting Ben's mindset, ultimately leading him to happiness, control, improved health, and high performance in all areas of his life. Ben's story is full of inspiration, perspective, and valuable lessons we can all apply to our lives. We hope that Ben's story motivates you to overcome any challenges you may face and take the initial steps toward achieving high performance in your athletic journey.

Do you ever struggle with how to skillfully manage young attorneys? This is something I hear about often (it's a real struggle for most of my partner and senior counsel clients). And it's honestly nothing new. We know that older generations tend to struggle to relate to - and then most effectively lead - younger generations (which is a big reason why leadership coaches like me exist). But is it getting even harder - as most senior attorneys believe? Are Millennial and Gen Z lawyers so different that it's an even bigger struggle? And if so, what can be done about it? No matter where you are in your career, today's discussion with guest Ben Cooper is a must-listen because we get into: --> The very real differences in how younger generations have grown up that impacts how they show up in the workforce. --> The mental shift for managing young attorneys more effectively. --> Practical strategies for how to skillfully manage young attorneys (and retain them). --> Tips for young attorneys who want to succeed in the legal profession. --> Parenting tips + strategies to best prepare young people for the working world. *** RATE, REVIEW & FOLLOW --> "Lawyers need this podcast." --> "Heather hits every relevant topic, giving practical advice in an easy to digest manner." --> "Love hearing Heather and her guest's perspectives on topics that attorneys often shy away from." If any of the above sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing the show. Your review/rating will help me support more people (just like you) succeed in BOTH law and life. And don't forget to follow the podcast so that you never miss a new episode! The post #147: How To Effectively Manage Young Attorneys appeared first on Life & Law Podcast.

At the big COP climate summit last December, more than 20 countries pledged to triple global nuclear capacity by 2050 to help cut carbon emissions. The signatories included familiar nuclear names such as the US, France and Japan...but also newcomers, like Ghana. Although Ghana doesn't currently have any nuclear power plants, president Nana Akufo-Addo says he wants to build one or two by 2030. So why is this African nation turning to nuclear? How will it pay for the multi-billion-dollar power plants? And will this help fight climate change?Presenter Graihagh Jackson is joined by: on-the-ground reporter Thomas Naadi; Dr Michael Bluck, Director of the Centre for Nuclear Engineering at Imperial College London; and Dr Kacper Szulecki, research professor at the Norwegian Institute for International Affairs. Production team: Octavia Woodward, Ben Cooper, Brenda Brown, Simon Watts, Matt Willis. Sound design by Tom Brignell.

It follows 2023 – another record-breaking year for the climate... so could global warming impact the way people vote?
