In recent decades, the burgeoning ultra-orthodox demographic in Israel has become increasingly autonomous and aggressively entitled. They have leveraged their political power skilfully - as the “Kingmakers” in successive elections. And their support has been very richly rewarded - particularly by PM Benjamin Netanyahu. He has diverted significant state funds to haredi institutions and programs in return for their coalition support. Four years ago, when negotiating the present coalition government, Netanyahu promised the haredi parties that the government would pass a law granting exempting ultra-orthodox men who studied religion full-time from IDF service. Additionally, the ultra-orthodox were allocated significant increases in financial support for families with a full-time religious student. In fact, haredi families are fully supported financially by the state. And in the last three years of near-constant war - when so many Israelis have given so much - state largesse to the ultra-orthodox has exceeded that allocated to veterans and their families. Day care is just one of many examples. Haredi families receive very generous stipends for day care costs, far more than what is provided to non-haredim. But their refusal to serve in the IDF and share the security burden that is so critical to Israel's survival, well, that is too much. In this episode, we speak with Uri Keidar, who heads Free Israel, an NGO focused on policy that addresses religion and state matters. We discuss a recent hearing at the Supreme Court of Israel in which a non-judge panel heard arguments as to why haredi men who dodge their draft call-ups should be subject to arrest and criminal charges. This issue is tearing at the heart and soul of the country, perhaps more than any other. It is not the external enemies that will destroy Israel. It is the domestic madness.Show your support for STLV at buymeacoffee.com/stateoftelavivPodcast NotesI mention this recent STLV article in the podcast that chronicles the last-minute efforts by the ultra-orthodox political parties to ram a law through the Knesset exempting haredi men from serving in the IDF. There are some great clips from committee discussions (with English subtitles) that show you the reality of this issue. It's kind of surreal:Uri Keidar is the Executive Director of Israel Hofsheet, the largest advocacy organization in Israel in the field of religious freedom and Jewish pluralism. Israel Hofsheet works with members of the Knesset, ministers, and government officials to promote liberal policies regarding Religion and State, and it also fosters change through municipal politics and change-maker training. The organization also creates national campaigns that move the needle around public opinion on these ideas. It also promotes Bottom-Up change as it conducts hundreds of Jewish weddings a year without the Chief Rabbinate's involvement, making it the most prominent organization in Israel to do so. Before this role, Uri spent over seven years in leading positions in civil society organizations and politics, both in elected and professional positions. Uri grew up in Kibbutz Givat Brenner, where he now lives with his wife, Ayelet, and their children, Imri, Adam, and Eytan. He also serves as the elected Chair of the Kibbutz's Municipal Committee. Uri earned his BA in political science and communications from Ben Gurion University of the Negev, where he served as the elected Chairperson of the Student Union, and also holds a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Tel Aviv University. He completed his military service as a tank commander in the IDF's armored corps, where he still serves in active reserve duty.Find Uri Keidar on Social Media:facebook.com/bfreeisraelinstagram.com/israel_hofsheetState of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication.

According to an advocate for victims of sexual violence, children should be taught about consent from preschool age and given the choice of whether they want to hug or have physical contact with someone.Children should be given a choice when it comes to their personal space. For example, if a child doesn't want to hug someone, whether that person is a parent, relative, or family friend, they shouldn't be forced to do so…Would you agree with this? Do you think children as young as preschool age should be taught about consent and personal boundaries?Joining Andrea to discuss is Council of Europe's Group of Experts on Action against Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (GREVIO) and Professor in the School of Law in UL, Ellen O'Malley Dunlop, Chairperson of the Federation of Early Childhood Providers Elaine Dunne and more.
Bongani Bingwa speaks to Mteto Nyati, Chairperson of Eskom, about the growing battle over who should own and control South Africa’s electricity grid.

The United Democratic Movement in the Western Cape is calling for an urgent, coordinated crackdown on organized crime following a deadly weekend of shootings in Langa, Gugulethu and Khayelitsha that left eleven people dead. The party says repeated condemnations are no longer enough, warning that gangsterism, illegal firearms, drugs and extortion have evolved into a deeply entrenched criminal economy. It's also raising serious concerns about mistrust between communities and police, arguing that fear of retaliation is preventing residents from coming forward with information. We spoke to Bulelwa Zondeka, Chairperson of the UDM in the Western Cape.
Biotech is living through a paradox: the science has rarely looked more powerful, while the institutions behind it have rarely seemed less trusted. The sector that helped accelerate vaccines, advance cancer treatment, and open new frontiers in brain disease is now facing public skepticism, political pressure on science, and rising competition from countries that see biotech as a strategic national asset. That frustration is being sharpened by affordability concerns, with recent polling finding that nearly six in ten U.S. adults worry about paying for prescription drugs. For an industry built around lifesaving innovation, the challenge is no longer just discovering what comes next; it is proving to the public that those breakthroughs are being developed in patients' best interests.So, how can biotech and pharma restore public trust while continuing to deliver the breakthroughs patients are waiting for?On I Don't Care, host Dr. Kevin Stevenson speaks with Dr. Jeremy Levin, Chairperson of Ovid Therapeutics and author of Biotech in the Balance: Saving a Strategic Industry in an Age of Distrust. Their conversation explores why the public has lost trust in pharma, how pharmacy benefit managers and rebate structures complicate drug pricing, why biotech should be treated as a strategic national asset, and what the industry must do to reconnect with patients.Top insights from the talk…Trust is biotech's central challenge. Dr. Levin argues that the industry's biggest mistake has been losing sight of its covenant with patients. While biotech has delivered transformative medicines, he says the public often sees the industry as profiting from illness rather than partnering in care.Drug pricing is more complex than the sticker price. Dr. Levin points to pharmacy benefit managers, insurers, rebates, and opaque intermediary structures as major drivers of patient frustration, arguing that patients often blame drug companies without seeing how money moves through the system.American biotech faces a strategic test. Dr. Levin warns that if the United States does not protect scientific institutions, support the FDA, and recognize biotech as a national priority, innovation and investment may move elsewhere, including China.Dr. Jeremy Levin is a physician-scientist and biotechnology executive with deep experience leading life sciences companies, boards, strategy, alliances, and business development. He is Chairperson of both Ovid Therapeutics and Opthea, and he previously founded and led Ovid as Chairperson and CEO. He is also Chairman Emeritus of the Biotechnology Innovation Organization, where he helped guide industry leadership across biotechnology policy, innovation, and patient-focused drug development. Earlier in his career, he held senior leadership roles at Teva Pharmaceuticals, Bristol Myers Squibb, and Novartis.

A company with “nothing broken” in its 401(k) plan decides it still wants to be better—so what happens next? In this episode, you'll hear how a benefits committee clarified its priorities, navigated the 3(21) vs 3(38) decision, and ran a disciplined advisor search that elevated both fiduciary governance and employee outcomes.In this episode, Eric and Jeremy Burroughs discuss:Background on ESCO, Weir, and committee chair responsibilitiesWhy a solid 401(k) plan still needed an advisorSetting clear priorities and using them as a “north star”3(21) vs 3(38) advisors and committee compositionRunning finalist presentations and empowering every committee voiceKey Takeaways:A retirement plan can be functioning well on the surface and still benefit greatly from more structure, rigor, and the addition of an outside advisor.Defining a small set of clear priorities early in an advisor search—and returning to them often—keeps every decision aligned and consistent.The choice between a 3(21) and 3(38) advisor should reflect the actual strengths, bandwidth, and investment expertise of the committee, not just past experience.Effective searches invite honest, value-adding presentations from finalists and encourage every committee member to ask direct, practical questions.Having the confidence to share opinions, concerns, and preferences is essential; silence in the room can prevent the committee from reaching the best decision for participants.“In business, the relationships that you develop over time are really important.

Ireland's native honey bee has survived for thousands of years, adapting to our climate and becoming a unique part of the country's natural heritage. But scientists warn that its future is under threat from hybridisation with imported bee strains. A Private Members' Bill currently before the Oireachtas aims to ban the importation of non-native honey bees in an effort to protect this distinctive population, while new scientific research is strengthening the case for legal protection. Joining Alan Morrissey earlier to discuss why Ireland's native honey bee is so important, and what could happen if it's not protected, were Dr Grace Patricia McCormack, Personal Professor in the School of Natural Sciences and the Ryan Institute at the University of Galway, and Loretta Neary, Chairperson of Native Irish Honey Bee Society.

It's thought a better argument's needed to get a fireworks ban across the line. The Government's quashed a select committee recommendation to ban sales to the public, aimed at protecting animals and free up firefighting resources. National MP and Committee Deputy Chairperson Greg Fleming told Mike Hosking he was originally against it, but after hearing the submissions, he was in favour of a ban. He says his colleagues decided with pre-conceived ideas, and he'll try harder to convey the full argument if the Bill returns. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Maharashtra has become the first state in India to bring about a legislation for the empowerment of women farmers. The Maharashtra Women Farmers Empowerment Bill, 2026, has been passed by both the Houses. It gives a broader definition of women farmers and de-links agricultural identity from land ownership. But while the Bill claims to address decades of systemic economic exclusion of women, it leaves questions about why women's inclusion in land records was not incentivised through the legislation. Chennai-based MS Swaminathan Research Foundation played a pivotal role in shaping and advocating for this legislation. In this episode, we discuss what the Maharashtra Women Farmers Empowerment Bill, 2026, means for women farmers, the changes it introduces, and the challenges that still remain.

In his latest interview with Chris Steyn, Ian Cameron, the Chairperson of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Police, talks about the revelation that - in the last four financial years - over 41,000 murders were committed with unlicensed firearms, but fewer than 400 murders with licensed firearms whilst the government is pushing for stricter self defence laws. “There's no doubt that there's some kind of a political ideological push to disarm and to centralise power…if they should ever succeed with this draconian and absolutely ridiculous piece of legislation, it would result in tyranny.” Commenting on the resignation of IDAC Chief Andrea Johnson, Cameron notes that a “specific faction of people…seemed to be dead set on securing control of certain leadership positions…if you had gained control of especially Crime Intelligence and obviously the office of the National Commissioner, you would have relatively easy access to the Secret Service funds, which obviously is massive amount of money that very often ends up in a political tug-of-war because if you control that and you know how to seemingly use it in the wrong way you would be able to get a lot of money for your campaigning and political work.” He warns: “...we mustn't underestimate how in-depth and detailed a lot of the planning goes to perform some of these bigger, broader strategies. I think it was, is, possibly, might still be, a massive risk to the stability of the criminal justice system.”
John Maytham speaks to Ian Cameron, DA MP and Chairperson of Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Police, about what these figures reveal regarding the scale of South Africa's illegal firearms problem.

Guest Chelsea Finnie Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes In this episode of Sustain, Richard talks with Chelsea Finnie, Chairperson of Python New Zealand and a Senior Network DevOps Engineer at REANNZ, about the serious behind-the-scenes work required to keep open source communities alive. Chelsea shares how they moved from Python conference volunteer to community leader, then walks through Python New Zealand's financial crisis after discovering improper use of funds, the legal and governance challenges that followed, and how Linux Australia helped keep the organization and Kiwi PyCon alive. It's a candid conversation about trust, accountability, burnout, community rescue, and why open source leadership is about much more than code. Press download now to hear more! [00:01:47] Chelsea explains their work at REANNZ and their role as a senior network DevOps engineer including Python-based network automation and the PANDA initiative for advancing network device automation. [00:03:08] Chelsea talks about contributing an open source “glue” service connecting Prometheus Alertmanager to Argus using Flask. [00:04:21] Chelsea takes us through how they got involved with Python New Zealand, helping rescue AV production for a Kiwi PyCon event, and realizing they might be capable of helping run a conference themselves. [00:06:58] They share the lighter side of joining the Python NZ committee, including a sea shanty lightning talk and an election promise to write a Python-based sea shanty. [00:08:35] Richard shifts into the central issue: Python New Zealand leadership had been dealing with a major financial and governance crisis and Chelsea explains discovering the budget hole, seeking legal advice, reviewing the transactions, and what happened when Linux Australia stepped in. [00:14:43] Chelsea reflects on Linux Australia's role as a lifeline and why having financially stable open source organizations matters. [00:15:46] Richard highlights the often-overlooked legal and financial responsibility that comes with serving on nonprofit or open source boards and Chelsea shares where Python NZ stands now. [00:18:26] They tell us about the new safeguards and governance checks and notes that better accounting systems, such as Xero, would likely have exposed the financial problems earlier [00:20:31] Chelsea shares how they stay motivated through heavy work and the value of open source leadership. [00:21:57] Richard points out that Chelsea was not only helping fix financial and governance issues but also continuing to lead Python New Zealand and run events. Chelsea talks about the decision to run Kiwi PyCon on the “West Island.” [00:25:08] Chelsea says one of their goals as chairperson is to identify and support the next people who will lead Python New Zealand and future events. [00:26:14] Richard closes by encouraging listeners to get involved in their local open source communities, whether Python New Zealand or any other regional group.

A Clare TD claims it's "inevitable" that Ryanair's €50 million investment in Shannon Airport will result in new routes in the near future. The Irish airline has stated its intention to build an aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul hangar along with a training facility for aircraft mechanics at the Clare base. The announcement has been welcomed as a "powerful endorsement" by the Shannon Airport Group. As part of its planning application for a four-bay aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul hangar at Shannon, the airline is seeking to build a new Ryanair Engineering Academy. This will see the creation of 80 new apprenticeship roles, supporting the training of over 400 additional aircraft mechanics between 2027 and 2031. The three-bay aircraft maintenance hangar currently operated by Ryanair at the airport supports over 200 jobs. Shannon Airport Group CEO Ray O'Driscoll says while the investment doesn't necessarily mean more flights in and out of the airport, they're always working to achieve more growth. Pending planning approval, construction is expected to begin early next year, with the facility expected to be operational in late 2028. Chairperson of the Shannon Airport Oireachtas Group and Fianna Fáil aviation spokesperson, Meelick TD Cathal Crowe, believes it will make financial sense for Ryanair to add more routes once the hangar is up and running.

Michael Stamm delivered the 2026 Kenneth Karmiole Endowed Lecture on the History of the Book Trades, "Landscapes, Labor, and the Infrastructures of Printed Newspapers," on 8 July 2026. About the Talk: Printed newspapers have become endangered as digital distribution has transformed the news business and the ways that people access information. This talk returns to the decades in our previous century when the printed newspaper thrived as the center of the news cycle, and it highlights some of the hidden landscapes, labor, and infrastructures enabling that. Twentieth-century newspapers were not just outlets for news but were also the material products of industrial capitalism manufactured by business firms organized like those in other mass production industries. These firms drew upon natural raw materials and developed infrastructures of production and distribution gathering large and diverse human labor forces including lumberjacks, paper mill operators, and newsboys. We often think about printed texts as relationships between authors and readers, but this talk draws attention to some of the hidden materials, people, and infrastructures involved in producing and circulating printed newspapers. About the Speaker: Michael Stamm is Professor of History at Michigan State University. He received his B.A. in English from UC Berkeley in 1994 and his Ph.D. in History from the University of Chicago in 2006. He has been at MSU since 2008, and he has served as Chairperson of the History Department since 2022. He is a political, cultural, and environmental historian specializing in media and journalism history. His first book, Sound Business: Newspapers, Radio, and the Politics of New Media (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011), traced how American newspapers have responded to competition from “new media,” which in the decades after 1920 meant radio broadcasting. His most recent book is Dead Tree Media: Manufacturing the Newspaper in Twentieth-Century North America (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018), which offers a history of the printed newspaper tracing its production from the forest to the reader. In 2019, the book received Canadian Business History Association's Best Book Prize. He is currently completing a book entitled Communicating with Nature: Agriculture, Materiality, and the Industrial Information Age, which traces the use of farm crops in the manufacturing of paper and ink and in the circulation of public information.
