Join Qayyum Rashid for Tuesday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Digital IDs' and ‘ChatGPT Interfering in Family life?' Digital IDs The UK's proposed “BritCard” aims to simplify services and tackle illegal work, but critics fear it's a “hacker's dream” that threatens privacy and excludes those without smartphones. The big question: will digital IDs make us safer, or expose us to new risks? ChatGPT Interfering in Family Life? AI tools like ChatGPT have made life easier from writing to problem-solving, but are we overlooking the hidden risks? With concerns over accuracy, dependency and ethics is convenience coming at too high a price? Join us as we explore the benefits and dangers of AI, how it shapes the way we think and how Muslims can use it responsibly without compromising faith or values.

I was 15 years old and I did not know who I wasMadina Maishanu speaks to Malala Yousafzai, the global education activist, about the public life that has defined her, and her search for her own identity. In a deeply personal interview, Malala Yousafzai reveals the legacy of her teenage years - as the spirited girl who took on the Taliban and nearly lost her life, then the Nobel Prize-winning advocate for girls everywhere to go to school. People think they know you, she says, but I did not know who I was. Now, aged 28, she reveals the lasting impact on her mental health and how she's been helped by therapy and by friendship, putting the loneliness of her teens behind her.For Malala Yousafzai, the mission of her life remains ensuring every girl has the right to go to school, a goal that has driven her since she was a child growing up in Pakistan's Swat Valley. Critical of the ruling Taliban, she survived an assassination attempt at their hands before fleeing to England to continue her education, ultimately at Oxford University.

Höre von zwei Meistern ihres Faches, wie sie es schaffen, über Partei- und Denkgrenzen hinweg Menschen hinter einer Vision zu einen. *** Wiederholung einer der erfolgreichsten Folgen in der Sommerpause - super passend zu aktuellen politischen Fragen. *** Bertram Fleck sorgte dafür, dass der Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis Deutschlands erster klimaneutraler Landkreis wurde. Nebenbei entstand ein kleines Wirtschaftswunder für die strukturschwache Region, bei dem über eine Milliarde Euro vor Ort gebunden wurde. Im Gespräch erklärt er die enorme Wirtschaftlichkeit seiner nachhaltigen Energiestrategie und die entscheidende Taktik aus Pragmatismus, Kollaboration und auch einer Portion Schlitzohrigkeit. Zudem erklärt Heinrich Strößenreuther - zur Zeit der Aufnahme CDU Mitglied, Gründer der KlimaUnion und einer der erfolgreichsten Campaigner in Deutschland - was es braucht, um Menschen für die Investition in Nachhaltigkeit und Erneuerbare zu gewinnen. Und warum sich für Gemeinden und Unternehmen durch Energieeffizienz, Windkraft und Solarenergie eine einmalige Chance bietet, sofern sie schnell genug agieren und das Feld nicht anderen überlassen. Eine grandiose Folge für alle Menschen, die in ihrem Unternehmen mit knappen Ressourcen und angesichts großer Skepsis Klimaziele vorantreiben. Nach dieser Folge hast Du jede Menge Anregungen für Deine Arbeit Nachhaltigkeitsmanager*in. Über Bertram Fleck: Bertram war von 1998 bis 2014 Landrat im Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis und hat dafür gesorgt, dass die Gemeinden vor Ort eine beispiellose Energiestrategie umgesetzt haben. Über Heinrich Strößenreuther: Ist vermutlich einer der erfolgreichsten Klima-Campaigner in Deutschland. Er hat den Volksentscheid hinter Deutschlands erstem Radgesetz auf die Beine gestellt, ist Mitgründer von German Zero und Mitgründer der KlimaUnion. Vorher war er lange im oberen Management der Deutsche Bahn für Umweltthemen zuständig. Mittlerweile ist Heinrich als Mitglied von der CDU zu den Grünen gewechselt.

Lord Alf Dubs is a Labour peer and former MP. He came to the UK from Prague in 1939 on one of the Kindertransport trains organised by Sir Nicholas Winton which rescued mostly Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia.Alf was born in Prague in 1932. His father was from a Jewish background and was brought up in what was then Northern Bohemia while his mother came from Austria. His father left Prague for London as soon as the Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia in March 1939. In June, when he was six-years-old, Alf was put on a Kindertransport train, arriving at Liverpool Street station two days later where he was met by his father. His mother eventually joined them in London the day before war broke out. Alf studied Politics and Economics at the London School of Economics and was elected as the Member of Parliament for Battersea South in May 1979. He lost his seat in 1987 and the following year he was appointed director of the Refugee Council, becoming the first refugee to head up the charity.In March 2016 Alf tabled an amendment to the 2016 Immigration Act (known as the Dubs Amendment) which asked the Government to accept 3,000 unaccompanied refugee children into the UK. The amendment passed but the Government closed the scheme the following year after accepting 480 children.In 2016 Alf received the Humanist of the Year award by Humanists UK of which he is also a patron. In 2021 his Czech citizenship was restored making him the first Czech-British member of the House of Lords.DISC ONE: It's Easy To Remember (Take 4) - John Coltrane Quartet DISC TWO: Smetana: Má Vlast, JB1:112: 2.

The first of our mid-week podcasts that will be published in the lead up to the election features two figures on opposite ends of the political scale. First up, a Senate candidate from the Victorian Socialists, Jordan Van Den Lamb, better known by his online persona Purple Pingers. Jordan is in the headlines again this week after Anthony Albanese had a shot at him because he is encouraging people in Victoria to squat in empty houses in response to the housing crisis. He's got some rather radical ideas and he does represent the fringe in Australian politics, but as we know in Australian politics, sometimes the fringe even gets a start. The second interview you'll hear is with more of an establishment figure in politics. He's an American named Kyle Middleton. He worked on the Kamala Harris campaign in the last US presidential election and has a lot of interesting insights about what went wrong and what could have been done differently. We chat about how the American political system differs to the Australian political system, but also how the American system is heavily influencing the current Australian federal election campaign.

Stance visits London to explore the Tate Gallery show The 80s: Photographing Britain with campaigner Marc Thompson. The exhibition examines how photographers used the camera to respond to the seismic social, political, and economic shifts of the era, including the rise of Thatcherism, race uprisings, and the AIDS epidemic. It highlights photography as a vital tool for social representation, cultural celebration, and artistic experimentation, spanning landscapes, self-portraiture, and social documentary during this pivotal and highly creative period.
