The war in Ukraine has raged on for over a year now with no signs of Russian President Vladimir Putin backing down despite the onslaught of sanctions that continue to hit the Russian economy. A major target has been the Kremlin's oil and gas revenues, but efforts to cut that income source are complicated by Russia's outsized role in global oil markets. Brian O'Toole, a nonresident senior fellow with the Atlantic Council, joined the podcast to discuss oil sanctions policy and how the US strategy against Russia is faring.

In a series of podcasts to mark the 60th anniversary of DTB, we talk to some of DTB's Editorial Board members and other colleagues about their work and their involvement with DTB. In this podcast, David Phizackerley (DTB's deputy editor) talks to Dr John Dowden, the editor of Australian Prescriber since 1990. Australian Prescriber (https://www.nps.org.au/australian-prescriber) is an independent peer-reviewed journal providing critical commentary on drugs and therapeutics for health professionals, and like DTB, Australian Prescriber was a founder member of the International Society of Drug Bulletins. At the time of recording, John highlighted that public funding for NPS Medicinewise (https://www.nps.org.au/), the organisation that publishes Australian Prescriber, was under threat and unfortunately the Australian Government withdrew funding and the organisation closed at the end of December. John and his team were made redundant, and the future of Australian Prescriber is uncertain. We wrote an editorial that criticises the decision to remove funding from NPS Medicinewise and you can find this in the January 2023 issue of DTB (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/61/1/2).

Russia's standoff with the West over Ukraine continues to stir anxieties across global energy and commodity markets about possible new sanctions. Brian O'Toole, nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and a former senior sanctions official at the US Treasury Department, joined Platts senior editor Meghan Gordon to discuss the penalties the US and EU might impose if Russia invades. He predicts a "broadening and deepening" of the Western sanctions leveled in 2014. They also discuss how the sanctions might differ if there's a perceived lesser threat like a cyberattack and how the backdrop of rising energy prices makes the stakes so high.

Chris, Melanie, and Zack debate whether there is a "Biden doctrine" and if so, what exactly it is. They identify two separate threads in Biden's thinking and that of his team — one idealist vision for global democracy, and a second more pragmatic and restrained approach. These diverging views do not, at the moment, appear to have yet been resolved. Chris also questions George W.

Most children in school fail - ie they fail to develop more than a fraction of their potential. This may be as relevant in some of the richest countries in the world as it is in the poorest. What then can be our response? We will explore what lessons we can learn from 23 years of experience at School of Nations - not in terms of a naive triumphalist perspective, rather an exploration of how we have tried to draw inspiration from the Baha'i Writings to address these crucial challenges. Dr Brian O'Toole is an Educational Psychologist from the UK living for 42 years in Guyana. Worked on short term assignments for a range of UN and NGO agencies in 38 countries in the areas of disability, literacy, primary health care, basic education and youth leadership. Authored three books and 42 articles in international journals. Started School of Nations in Guyana 23 years ago, now with partnerships with the Universities of Cambridge, London, Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire there are 4,200 students. Served as the Chairperson of the National Advisory Committee on Educational Reform to the Government of Guyana.
