In California's congressional primaries, a slate of younger, often progressive, Democrats challenged some of their party's aging incumbents…testing voters' appetite for generational change. Reporter: Izzy Bloom, KQED Reports of medical neglect in immigration detention are rampant – and deaths are rising. And when sick or injured detainees do get to an outside hospital, many say their care is still compromised. Reporter: Tyche Hendricks, KQED Two of California's largest courts are testing an AI tool that can do a lot of the same work as a legal assistant. Right now, judges are mainly using this AI clerk for civil cases. But documents obtained by our partner CalMatters show that, in the future, it could be used in criminal cases where the stakes are much higher.

California's crowded governor's race has narrowed to the top two candidates. Democrat Xavier Becerra and Republican Steve Hilton will both appear on the November ballot and for more KCBS Radio News Anchor Steve Scott spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier.

On today's show, Ian Hoch asks if a candidate's personal problems affect how you view their political effectiveness. Then, Ian has on Robert Hogan, a political science professor at LSU, to look ahead to the 2026 midterms, and talk about about control of Congress, the redistricting arms race, and what's taking so long in California. Hurricane preparation is serious business, but that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun with it.

H3-S2 full 00:14 I just go to Willie from Anderson. How you doing Willie? 00:19 Hey, how you doing? I'm doing good, man. What's up? When I went to vote a couple hours ago at 325 department down near where I live, near Rand High School, the guy running against April Cromer and a guy who was a friend of April Cromer were out front shaking hands with voters as they went inside and introducing themselves. 00:47 Is that legal or not? guess it is. Believe it or not, that's legal. Candidates can stand outside the polling place. I'd never seen that before. It's crazy. I know you can't have a sign. You can't have a t-shirt. You can't say, hey, vote for me. But you can say, hey, I'm running here and I appreciate you coming out. Well, look, one other question. Yeah. Did Bill Frady have Lindsey Graham on his show a couple of days ago? 01:15 A couple of days ago, don't know. Somebody would have to remind me about that, but he has had them on before. I think I've heard him and I get, you know, I had places to go. Yeah. So I think, but it sounded like Lindsey Graham. And have you ever tried to pull that off? Say what? 01:35 Have you ever tried to pull that off and get Lindsey on your show? Lindsey, Lindsey, I've had Lindsey on my show down in Charleston, but we had a bit of a falling out because he's a rhino and he just refuses to come on the show anymore because I asked him hard questions. I can't believe you had a falling out with Lindsey Graham. know, right? Go figure. Go figure. I appreciate it, Willie. Thank you very much. Let's go to Matthew in Greenville. Matthew, welcome. Hey, Charlie. 02:05 Hey, I was, um, got out my polling place down here in Robert Cashin Elementary, uh pork shoulder road and, uh, two things. I went in, gave my ID, confirmed my address. I noticed on the, on the table, they have you sign your name for whatever political party you go for. Yeah. And at this particular place, I saw there was three lines. They had a stack of maybe 15, no, about 10 plus of a hundred plus names. 02:34 of republican and only like two or three of democrats are about that would be turnout yeah definitely and then what i finally went to go bow i put all my votes and i hit print on my machine and my machine malfunctioned uh... and uh... it was a big red alert it said here please contact uh... voting official election official and waited about twenty minutes they're trying to get a hold of the clerk uh... he eventually came and had to open it up decommissioned and had to manually pull out my 03:04 my voter card and then we walked to the scanner and he said, well, hopefully this scans through so your vote can count. And I was like, yeah, I hope so. Yeah, hopefully. Did it, but did it say your vote was recorded? Yeah, it did at the end. Yep. And I got my sticker. So I'm for it today. There you go. I appreciate it, Matthew. Thank you. Let's go to Carl Engafne. Carl, what's going on with you? Hey, how are doing, Charlie? Doing good. What's up? I greatly appreciate. 03:32 what you, you know, WRD has done with, you know, the candidates and whatnot. But one thing I listened to most of those town hall things, but what bothered me is I don't know. Maybe you did, but I don't remember. To me, the most crucial question to ask each candidate is whether you're going to try to deputize local law enforcement to help ice out because that is the number one issue is this illegal immigration, particularly in the upstate. 04:02 Um, I work in manufacturing and, know, 10, 20 years ago, you could go out and get a manufacturing job, you know, pretty good pay, but as Tara has pointed out many times, some of these jobs, the pay is lower now than it was 10 years ago. Yeah. For some of these jobs. it's because, and I believe me, I work in it. So I see them almost everyone I work with is Spanish. They all speak. Most of them are illegals. from, and they're not just from Mexico.

A guide to diagnosing, imaging, and managing acute renal colic and nephrolithiasis in the ED. Hosts: Brian Gilberti, MD Avir Mitra, MD https://media.blubrry.com/coreem/content.blubrry.com/coreem/Nephrolithiasis.mp3 Download Leave a Comment Tags: Kidney Stones, Urology Show Notes 1. CLINICAL CORE & PHYSIOLOGIC FRAMEWORK Epidemiologic Risk Profiles Lifetime incidence parameters hover around 1 in 11, presenting with a prominent male sex skew. Peak demographic manifestation concentrated within the 30–60 age band. High-yield temporal parameter: 50% recurrence vector within a 5-year post-initial-insult window. Mineralogical Composition Vectors Calcium oxalate crystals represent the predominant structural matrix. Struvite configurations (magnesium ammonium phosphate matrix) account for 1–2% of cohorts. Struvite stones function explicitly as infection-driven configurations secondary to upper tract proliferation; higher distribution index noted in female cohorts. Etiological & Modifiable Relational Dynamics Profound systemic dehydration or low baseline fluid throughput states. High-sodium diet structures and heavy animal-protein consumption loads. Positive genetic/familial history variables. Relative risk modulation: Each variable independently operates to expand baseline risk by a factor of 2x to 3x. Pathophysiologic Symptom Complexes Acute, sudden-onset, maximum-intensity (10/10) unilateral flank pain. Classic structural radiation vector tracking downward toward the ipsilateral groin/genitourinary dermatomes. Distinctive behavioral marker: Renal colic pacing/writhing behavior with zero antalgic position availability. Concomitant autonomic triggers: Nausea and emesis manifest in 50% of acute presentations. Physical Exam Discordance Metrics Severe subjective distress contrasted with a characteristically soft, completely non-tender abdominal palpation exam. CVA tenderness is completely variable and lacks reliable negative predictive value. Atypical Presentation Classifications Vague, poorly localized abdominal pain presentations occurring in up to 20% of active cases. Isolated lower urinary tract irritative signs including acute frequency or severe urgency. Incidental & Asymptomatic Dynamics Silent intrarenal or ureteral stones found incidentally. Longitudinal tracking demonstrates up to 33.3% of initially asymptomatic cohorts convert to fully symptomatic renal colic within a multi-year tracking window. 2. EXCLUSION DIAGNOSES & CRITICAL PATHWAY RED FLAGS Vascular Mimics: AAA rupture/expansion. This is a mandatory exclusion pathway in elderly cohorts presenting with acute flank or back pain. Physical tracking requires active exploration for an expansile, pulsatile abdominal mass. Gynecologic Emergencies: Ruptured ectopic pregnancy. Demands universal screening protocols via rapid beta-hCG testing in all female patients of childbearing potential presenting with lower abdominal/pelvic localization. Infectious Upper Tract Decompensation: Acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis. Differentiated via persistent high spikes, high fevers, systemic shaking chills, and profound pyuria. Genitourinary Structural Crises: Acute testicular torsion. Mandates a thorough, explicit scrotal/testicular structural exam if the flank pain radiates into the scrotum. Gastrointestinal and Adnexal Torsional Confounds: Acute appendicitis variants, acute mesenteric/bowel ischemia, and ovarian torsion syndromes. 3. LABORATORY TESTING & PHYSIOLOGIC EVALUATION Urinalysis Interpretation Nuances Microscopic or gross hematuria presents in approximately 66% to 90% of acute cases. Critical Pathological Caveat: Complete absence of hematuria documented in 20% to 33.3% of confirmed, acute obstructing ureteral stones. Diagnostic rule: A pristine urinalysis with zero red blood cells is entirely insufficient to exclude acute ureterolithiasis. Urinary pH as a Composition Clue Consistently low urinary pH parameters (pH < 5.5) point strongly toward a uric acid crystalline composition. Elevated urinary pH parameters (pH > 7.5) indicate the presence of urease-producing microbial pathogens, pointing toward a struvite infection stone. Infectious Screening Metrics Active tracking for marked pyuria, positive leukocyte esterase, and bacterial nitrites to rule out an obstructed, infected upper urinary tract system. BMP Immediate quantification of baseline serum creatinine to establish accurate eGFR values. Targeting detection of post-renal AKI from bilateral obstruction, unilateral obstruction in a single functioning kidney, or severe volume depletion. CBC Evaluation for marked leukocytosis. Physiologic Nuance: Mild-to-moderate white blood cell count elevations frequently represent non-specific stress demargination driven by severe pain and repetitive vomiting. High-grade white blood cell shifts demand immediate exclusion of systemic bacteremia or an infected, obstructed urinary system. Adjunctive Lab Pathways Rapid qualitative urine hCG testing. Reflex urine culture execution whenever urinalysis metrics display significant inflammatory profiles or clinical suspicion of UTI is high. 4. IMAGING MODALITIES & ALGORITHMIC CLINICAL SELECTION Non-Contrast CT Diagnostics Gold standard; diagnostic sensitivity and specificity parameters exceed 95% for stones >2 mm. Provides precise quantification of stone diameter (mm), exact localization (proximal, mid, or distal ureter), and degree of secondary hydronephrosis. Excellent structural visualization for detecting or ruling out alternate retroperitoneal, vascular, or intra-abdominal pathologies. Contrast-Enhanced CT Protocols Indicated when alternative intra-abdominal surgical pathology is highly suspected over isolated renal colic. Retains diagnostic capability to identify urinary tract stones >3 mm even within contrast-enhanced phases. NCCT Structural Architecture Limitations Standard stone protocol CT scans are executed in a prone position without IV contrast enhancement. It does not opacify the ureteral lumen. Presents a cumulative radiation exposure penalty when utilized serially across recurrent ED presentations. POCUS / Radiology Ultrasound Direct stone visualization capabilities are modest, operating at approximately 50% to 60% sensitivity, and is highly dependent on anatomical positioning at the extreme proximal ureter or the UVJ. Secondary obstruction tracking: Demonstration of hydronephrosis operates at a high sensitivity of approximately 80%. POCUS Clinical Utility Metrics Eliminates ionizing radiation exposure and allows immediate, rapid real-time execution directly at the patient’s bedside. Confirmation of significant hydronephrosis within a classic clinical presentation yields high post-test probability for stone presence while lowering suspicion for vascular catastrophes like a AAA. KUB Radiography Extremely poor overall diagnostic sensitivity, hovering around 57%. Fails to image radiolucent configurations (pure uric acid matrices) or small stones measuring

DESCRIPTION From allegations of dark money influencing South Carolina primaries to explosive claims about fraud in the H-1B visa system, Charlie connects two stories that he says reveal a growing crisis of trust. First, he warns voters about political mailers allegedly targeting conservative lawmakers while masquerading as grassroots organizations. Then, he dives into reports of widespread fake college degrees in India and what that could mean for American jobs, healthcare, and immigration policy. It's a conversation about deception, accountability, and the importance of asking tough questions. Based on discussion from the transcript. PODCAST SUMMARY This episode opens with a deep dive into South Carolina's Republican primary battles, where Charlie argues that voters are being bombarded with misleading political mailers funded by organizations presenting themselves as conservative grassroots groups. He discusses concerns about dark money in state politics, attacks on Freedom Caucus members, and claims that some candidates are attempting to position themselves as conservatives despite previous ties to Democratic causes. The conversation then shifts to polling in South Carolina's governor's race, where no clear frontrunner has emerged. Charlie examines the crowded field, the large percentage of undecided voters, and the growing momentum of outsider candidates attempting to break through the political establishment. In the second half of the show, Charlie reacts to reports alleging widespread fraud involving educational credentials used in the H-1B visa process. He discusses investigations into diploma mills and concerns about whether fraudulent degrees may be affecting hiring decisions in high-skilled professions. The discussion expands into broader concerns about workforce credential verification, immigration policy, and the challenges facing American college graduates competing in today's labor market. The episode ties both stories together under a common theme: whether voters, employers, and institutions are doing enough to verify claims before making important decisions. KEY TAKEAWAYS Dark money and political mailers remain a major issue in South Carolina elections. Freedom Caucus members continue to face significant opposition in legislative races. South Carolina's governor's race remains highly competitive with many undecided voters. Outsider candidates may be benefiting from voter frustration with political insiders. Questions about campaign funding sources can reveal important political interests. Reports of diploma fraud have reignited debate over H-1B visa oversight. Credential verification remains a major concern in high-skilled professions. Voters and employers alike are encouraged to scrutinize claims before making decisions. SOCIAL MEDIA TITLE The Great Deception: Politics, Degrees & Dark Money SOCIAL MEDIA DESCRIPTION What do South Carolina political mailers and fake college degrees have in common? Charlie says they're both symptoms of a larger problem: people trusting claims without verifying the facts. SOCIAL MEDIA POST

For decades, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, better known as AIPAC, has been one of the most powerful lobbying organizations in Washington.It has helped shape U.S. policy toward Israel, cultivated relationships with lawmakers from both parties, and more recently spent millions of dollars helping elect candidates it supports and defeat those it doesn't.But after the war in Gaza, Israel's conflicts with Iran and Lebanon, and a dramatic shift in public opinion among many Democrats, AIPAC's influence is facing new scrutiny. Candidates are increasingly being asked whether they'll accept its support, some are actively distancing themselves from the organization. Today on Front Burner, Alex Shephard of The New Republic explains how AIPAC became one of the most powerful forces in American politics, and why, for the first time, its political influence is facing meaningful resistance.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

DESCRIPTION A major immigration enforcement operation in South Carolina is drawing national attention after dozens of arrests, including company management personnel. Tara examines the timing of the raid, its political implications ahead of the Republican primary, and the broader debate surrounding illegal hiring practices, workplace enforcement, and state leadership. SUMMARY South Carolina's largest workplace immigration enforcement action in years has become a flashpoint in the state's political landscape. The operation resulted in the arrest of dozens of undocumented workers as well as management personnel accused of facilitating fraudulent employment documentation. Tara explores why large-scale workplace raids have been rare in South Carolina, compares enforcement efforts with states like Florida, and questions whether the operation represents a genuine policy shift or a pre-election political moment. The discussion also focuses on the role of business leaders, state officials, and federal authorities in addressing illegal employment practices and whether further investigations into corporate leadership could follow. KEY STORIES COVERED Major Immigration Raid Hits South Carolina Forty-eight individuals were arrested during a workplace enforcement operation. The investigation reportedly included management personnel and HR officials. Officials described the case as the result of a years-long investigation. Questions About Political Timing The enforcement action occurred just days before South Carolina's Republican primary. Debate continues over whether the timing was coincidental or politically advantageous. The raid has become a central issue in discussions surrounding immigration policy. Employer Accountability Takes Center Stage Charges reportedly involve allegations related to fraudulent identification documents and hiring practices. The discussion focused on whether enforcement should extend beyond workers to company leadership. Observers are watching to see whether additional prosecutions emerge from the investigation. Comparing South Carolina to Other States Florida was cited as an example of a state where immigration enforcement actions occur more frequently. The conversation highlighted differences in state-level cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Questions remain about whether similar operations will continue in South Carolina. Governor's Race and Immigration Politics Immigration enforcement has become a defining issue in South Carolina's gubernatorial contest. Candidates with congressional voting records on immigration were discussed. Voters are increasingly focused on how future state leaders would approach border security and workplace enforcement. QUOTE OF THE DAY "If they don't go beyond the managers and investigate the people at the top, this becomes a performative exercise." TALKING POINTS ✅ Why workplace immigration raids remain rare in South Carolina ✅ The significance of targeting management personnel ✅ How immigration enforcement impacts local labor markets ✅ The role of state and federal cooperation ✅ Whether this raid signals a long-term policy shift SEO KEYWORDS South Carolina ICE Raid, Immigration Enforcement, South Carolina Governor Race, Workplace Raid, Illegal Immigration, Border Security, Attorney General Race, South Carolina Politics, Employer Accountability, Federal Immigration Enforcement SOCIAL MEDIA POST

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-1-2026.1933 VALLEY FORGE(1) John Batchelor and Bill Roggio introduce the global landscape of current conflicts, noting that reporting on these issues is often marginalized by major newspapers. The segment focuses on Syria, where the self-appointed president, Al-Shara, is holding local elections in Kurdish-majority areas despite his background as a former al-Qaeda leader. Skepticism is expressed regarding Al-Shara's trustworthiness, with his efforts labeled as "window dressing" to appear as a legitimate ally to the West. Additionally, Assad-era chemical weapons were recently discovered in these areas, highlighting the persistence of weapons of mass destruction in the region. Seth Frantzman is also introduced as a key on-the-ground reporter for these events in Israel and Gaza.(2) Bill Roggio argues that the term "ceasefire" regarding the Strait of Hormuz is a misnomer, as the United States and Iran continue to launch fresh strikes against one another. Roggio characterizes the situation as confusing for the American public because officials claim a ceasefire exists while active military engagements continue. Iran is described as being in a state of open war in all directions, targeting the U.S., Europe, and regional neighbors. The segment concludes that the current messaging regarding the conflict is inadequate and fails to reflect the reality of ongoing violence.(3) Jonathan Sayeh reports that the U.S. blockade has caused a sharp decline in Iranian oil exports, though it has not yet reached a level of total economic catastrophe. The Iranian regime is demanding the total elimination of all sanctions and access to frozen assets in Qatar as a prerequisite for any behavioral changes. Sayeh notes that there is no longer a significant "reformist" camp within the government; instead, the IRGC and the Supreme Leader hold absolute decision-making power. The regime remains confident that it can absorb external pressure and continue funding its proxies and missile programs.(4) Jonathan Sayeh details the domestic situation in Iran, where the population recently endured their longest internet blackout, lasting nearly two months following a massacre in January 2026. Once connectivity was partially restored, citizens used social media to memorialize approximately 40,000 people allegedly killed by the regime during the unrest. Sayeh suggests that the Iranian people feel abandoned by Washington's claims that the goal of regime change has already been achieved. Consequently, the population is hesitant to mobilize without a clear signal and external backing for an armed resistance.(5) Samuel Ben-Ur assesses that Hamas's military wing has been degraded to the point of acting primarily as an internal police force in Gaza. The group's command structure has been "wiped out" following years of war and recent Israelidecapitation strikes, leaving only one pre-war senior leader, Immad Ael, remaining. To replenish its ranks, Hamas is increasingly recruiting child soldiers as young as 16 or 17. Despite these losses, Hamas continues to pay approximately 50,000 staff members and maintains control over the shrinking portion of Gaza not held by the IDF.(6) Samuel Ben-Ur explains that the Board of Peace has been inactive and is currently "without money" because its funding was predicated on Hamas disarming. Hamas immediately rejected a disarmament plan presented by the board, asserting that its weapons are an essential part of its "resistance." The group's political leadership remains protected in Doha, Qatar, due to U.S. security guarantees provided after a failed Israeli assassination attempt. Because Hamasrefuses to make any concessions, the $17 billion pledged for the reconstruction of Gaza remains withheld.(7) This segment focuses on the Americas, where a shift toward right-wing candidates is occurring in response to organized crime. In Colombia, presidential candidate Abelardo de la Espriella is leading in polls on a platform of anti-narco-terrorism and restoring the rule of law. In Brazil, the U.S. declaration of the PCC and Red Command as terrorist organizations is seen as a major "game changer" for upcoming elections. Candidates who advocate for close cooperation with the U.S. to fight cartels are gaining traction, while leftist leaders like Lula and Petro face increasing pressure.(8) Alejandro Peña Esclusa reports on a "slow-motion coup" attempt in Bolivia led by Evo Morales, whose supporters have placed the capital under siege. This instability is a major concern for Brazil because Bolivia serves as a primary source of the cocaine that fuels Brazilian organized crime. Peña Esclusa suggests that Morales's efforts will likely fail as the Bolivian armed forces and police eventually move to dissolve the blockades. Meanwhile, Brazil's President Lulafinds himself under pressure from the U.S. and internal factions, limiting his ability to support Morales.(9) John Hardie discusses tactical developments in the Ukraine war, including the seizure of a Russian oil tanker by French special forces. Ukraine is successfully ramping up "middle strikes" (30 to 300 kilometers) to target Russianlogistics, air defenses, and electronic warfare nodes. These operations are bolstered by AI-equipped drones and the use of Starlink, which allow for strikes on dynamic targets beyond the operator's line of sight. On the battlefield, Ukrainianforces have recaptured territory in localized counterattacks on the border of the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions.(10) Ahmed Sharawi highlights Iran's persistent ambition to re-establish its supply highway through Syria to Lebanonfollowing the fall of the Assad regime. Sharawi reports that Iran continues to target Kurdish groups in Iraq, making Iraqi Kurdistan the second most targeted area by Iran after the UAE. In Syria, the government's recent local elections are described as a "selection" process aimed at showcasing a false political process to the West. This centralization of power under President Al-Shara is criticized for failing to represent the actual needs of the Syrian people and refugees.(11) David Daoud explains the linkage between Lebanon and Iran, noting that Iran treats a violation of a ceasefire in Lebanon as a violation of its own truce with the U.S. Hezbollah officially intervened in the conflict on March 2, 2026, specifically to protect the Iranian regime from U.S. and Israeli pressure. Hezbollah is described as Iran's "most potent asset" and a critical tool for its regional expansionist policy. While Iran may be willing to negotiate on its nuclear or missile programs, it is extremely unlikely to abandon its support for militias like Hezbollah.(12) David Daoud characterizes recent diplomatic talks between Israel and Lebanon at the U.S. State Department as "childish" because the Lebanese representatives refused to address the Israelis directly. On the ground, the IDF has captured the strategically significant Beaufort Castle and is employing a strategy of "creeping ground incursions." This new approach involves clearing areas of southern Lebanon to create safe launching grounds for deeper operations against Hezbollah strongholds. The goal is to prevent Hezbollah from regenerating and to slowly degrade the organization past the point of being a threat to northern Israel.(13) Peter Berkowitz examines two distinct intellectual critiques of the United States as it approaches its 250th anniversary: the postmodern progressives and the post-liberal right. The progressives argue that America is mired in systemic oppression and that its founding principles are the actual cause of its problems. The post-liberal right, conversely, views the nation as decadent and corrupt because it fails to recognize a higher religious authority. Both groups advocate for fundamental changes, with the right-wing critique specifically calling for the government to take a more active role in leading citizens toward virtue and salvation.(14) Peter Berkowitz notes that both the progressive and post-liberal right critiques share a common repudiation of America's founding principles of human freedom and equality. He argues that these critiques often occur in a "historical and comparative vacuum," ignoring that the U.S. remains a premier destination for those seeking personal liberty. Both sides demonstrate an intolerant "in or out" mentality, where individuals are either seen as part of the solution or part of the problem. Berkowitz maintains that the solution to America's cultural and political problems is a return to its founding principles rather than their rejection.(15) Peter Huessy discusses the confirmation by the U.S. government that China conducted recent underground nuclear tests. Huessy reports that China is building launch pads next to its missile silos, which nuclear experts interpret as a shift toward a "first strike preemptive strategy." This strategy is designed to use a nuclear umbrella to coerce the U.S. into standing down during conventional Chinese operations against Taiwan or other regional allies. China's nuclear build-up is compared to Russian tactics, where battlefield nuclear weapons are used as tools of blackmail and coercion.(16) Rick Fisher details the military nature of the Chinese space program, noting that the nation's astronaut corps is officially the Astronaut Brigade of the People's Liberation Army (PLA). Fisher explains that China has utilized its space program for dual-use military benefits from its inception, viewing space as a potential battlefield. While Chinapublicly claims its space efforts are peaceful, its military planners have studied Western science fiction and militarization strategies closely. The segment warns that the U.S. and its allies must develop the capability to defend their space assets as China and Russia increasingly move to militarize the moon and low earth orbit.Three spelling corrections applied: (7) Aardo de Lasrea → Abelardo de la Espriella (the Colombian presidential candidate running on the anti-narco/rule-of-law platform) (7) Red Commandos → Red Command (standard English rendering of Comando Vermelho) (10) Akmed Shari → Ahmed Sharawi (matching how you spelled him in the preview earlier today) (16) Rick Fischer → Rick Fisher (matching the preview) One I'd flag but didn't change: Immad Ael in segment 5. I'm not confident on the correct transliteration of this Hamas leader's name from this source alone—do you want me to leave it as-is, or do you have the correct spelling from Ben-Ur's reporting?

(7) This segment focuses on the Americas, where a shift toward right-wing candidates is occurring in response to organized crime. In Colombia, presidential candidate Abelardo de la Espriella is leading in polls on a platform of anti-narco-terrorism and restoring the rule of law. In Brazil, the U.S. declaration of the PCC and Red Command as terrorist organizations is seen as a major "game changer" for upcoming elections. Candidates who advocate for close cooperation with the U.S. to fight cartels are gaining traction, while leftist leaders like Lula and Petro face increasing pressure.1893 BOGOTA
