Don Jr.'s ex-girlfriend threatens to destroy the governments of Romania and Greece, shocking Europe. Also Thom breaks down Special Counsel Jack Smith's testimony, as he broke his silence before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Revealing that investigators had uncovered proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Donald Trump committed serious federal crimes to overturn the 2020 election and obstruct justice regarding classified national security documents. The attacks on Jack Smith expose something far bigger than one ugly Senate hearing: a collision between personal political loyalty and America's constitutional system.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A divided America agrees on one thing: most folks don't want new data centers in their communities. But do data centers live up to their sour reputation as water and electricity gluttons? Or are they, in fact, a 21st Century version of the automobile – an innovation deemed dangerous at first, but eventually a means to community advancement and prosperity? Steven Koonin, the Hoover Institution's Edward Teller Senior Fellow and an energy policy expert, discusses what's behind data-center NIMBYism and whether America will rise to the challenge of a greater demand for electricity in the near future as artificial intelligence and the needs of an increasingly information-intensive society and economy continue to reshape the nation's landscape. Also discussed: the US Energy Department's embrace of a “golden age of nuclear energy” (speaking of technology that once spawned NIMBY discontent), an evolving climate change debate (why does the UN bother to celebrate “climate weeks”?) and an emergency-mode California bracing for an El Niño event that's expected to submerge vast portions of the Golden State in the coming months.    

Where do shells come from? CrowdScience listener Tamsyn got in touch, a little embarrassed, confessing that she had managed to reach her twenties without realising that shells are made by living creatures. Suddenly, her curiosity ran wild and she asked CrowdScience to investigate how these sea creatures have the architectural prowess to make shells in delicate ornamental shapes with beautiful colours and patterns. The job of sea-creature-investigator-in-chief falls to presenter Marnie Chesterton. She heads to the Natural History Museum in London, UK, where they have more shells than they can keep count of. Researcher Dr Suzanne Williams pulls out drawer after drawer of amazingly varied molluscs for Marnie to marvel at. Then, it's off to the beach to go shell hunting with Dr Leanne Melbourne, Senior Curator of Climate Change and the Dynamic Coast for Norfolk Museums in the UK. They look at the structure of shells, and Leanne explains how a soft mollusc is able to make a hard shell so sturdy they can survive for millions of years. Marnie then gets into some mollusc maths. With shells strewn across a table, Professors Alain Goriely and Derek Moulton at the University of Oxford, UK show Marnie how they have mapped their shapes. Can Marnie uncover the formula that underpins the formation of shells, from the most basic to the inexplicably ornate?

From the Hostage Nation paper: " The first and most fundamental duty of a civilised state is the safety of its people. Not just safety from overseas adversaries, or crime in the street. Economic security. A bill you can pay without going overdrawn. A house you can afford before your children have children of their own. A job that lasts long enough to plan around. Britain guarantees none of these. Not for want of money, or land, or people who know how to build. Our nation has all of that. For forty years we have outsourced that security to the global marketplace. We locked ourselves in a room and posted the key to a trading desk in New York. British government policy subservient to global winds.  They call it living within our means. We call it Hostage Nation."This is the second part of our conversation with Jamie Driscoll, former Mayor of Newcastle city region, founder of Majority and now Green Council for his old Monument ward. He's also one of the authors of the Hostage Nation paper quoted above that lays out how we can shift our current economy from one that's in hock to the Vigilante Bond Markets  to one that supports people and planet. Jamie's website Majority Hostage Nation—About Accidental Gods—We offer three strands all rooted in the same soil, drawing from the same river: Accidental Gods, Dreaming Awake and the Thrutopia Writing Masterclass Our next Open Gathering offered as part of our Accidental Gods Programme is 'DREAMING YOUR DEATH AWAKE' which will run on Sunday 1st November 2026 from 16:00 - 20:00 GMT (NOTE THE TIME! - We'll be out of summertime then)  - details are here.

Building a farm for an uncertain future means questioning some of the assumptions that have driven farming for decades.For Simon Wallwork, a brutally dry season in 2010 was the catalyst for rethinking his farming system. After years of predominantly cropping, he began looking more closely at climate data and using it to inform changes to his agronomic practices and make the jump to bring livestock back into the business.Since then, Simon's thinking has expanded from adapting to climate change, to actively preparing for what's next. He's been involved in Ag Zero, a farmer-led initiative exploring agriculture's role in the energy transition, while on his own farm he's experimenting with carbon farming, electrification, and on-farm energy hosting.In this episode, Simon and Sarah explore what happens when farmers start thinking about technology, sustainability, and resilience not as separate issues, but as parts of the same system. For instance, rather than simply replacing a diesel tractor with an electric one, what happens when electrification and autonomy make the constraints of traditional farming systems start to disappear?They discuss:Why diversification can be an important part of building farm resilienceThe shift from thinking about climate adaptation to agriculture's role in mitigation and the energy transitionHow carbon farming can change the economics of marginal landHow autonomy changes the assumptions around machinery size and speedSimon's farm microgrid and the role of solar and batteriesThe potential role of electric tractors, trucks, and drone sprayersWhether electrification and autonomy could reduce the pressure for farms to continually scale upWhat energy independence could look like at the farm and regional level and why community ownership is criticalHow sustainability requirements could increasingly influence market access, finance, and insuranceUseful Links:Webinar: Nature Friendly Farming - Farmers for Climate ActionThe Business Case for Electrifying Agriculture, with Cherry Grower Mike CaseyAgricultural autonomy and new ways of working with SwarmFarm RoboticsHave we hit the tipping point for autonomy in ag?

On this episode, we have a special guest from the AFJ Justice team. We are joined by our colleague Morgan Flitt an Alliance for Justice Senior Dorot Fellow. With Morgan we will be covering the upcoming cases that will be heard by the US Supreme Court this session. Many of these cases – affect everyday people and the issues they care about,  climate change, gun rights, voting, immigration and LGBTQ+ rights. Then we will talk about how nonprofits can get involved with supreme court advocacy, nominees, and more while staying nonpartisan and being mindful of lobbying limits. Attorneys for this Episode Brittany Leonard Susan Finkle Sourlis Morgan Flitt   Intro to Justice Program: Brittany ·      Our justice team works on both federal and state judicial appointments and elections and runs numerous invaluable resources including our judicial vacancy tracker and helps keep us and the public informed about nominees. This includes the decisions they make after they've been confirmed, and how cases in federal courts – especially the supreme court – are impacting our civil rights and democracy.   ·      Today, we are thrilled to be joined on the pod by our friend and colleague Morgan Flitt. Morgan is a fellow attorney who serves as the Senior Dorot Fellow on the Federal Courts team. ·      Today we want to talk about the upcoming cases in this supreme court term, what we should be keeping an eye on, the potential impacts for our c3 partners, and what nonprofits can do during this term and future terms to advocate.   Cases to watch out for this term (4 across 4 differenttt critical issue areas) ·      Climate Change o      Suncor Energy (U.S.A.) Inc. v. Commissioners of Boulder County (No. 25-170) §     Issue: Whether federal law precludes state-law claims seeking relief for injuries allegedly caused by the effects of interstate and international greenhouse-gas emissions on the global climate; and (2) whether this court has statutory and Article III jurisdiction to hear this case §     Brief context: The Board of County Commissioners of Boulder County and the City of Boulder sued Exxon Mobil and Suncor, arguing that they should share in the costs of mitigating climate change because they knowingly contributed to causing it through producing, marketing, and selling fossil fuels while misrepresenting its dangers. The companies argued federal law preempted these claims, but the lower court agreed with the Board and the City of Boulder. §     Consequences: If the Supreme Court sides with Big Oil and Gas Companies, giving them blanket federal immunity from state tort law, this could potentially wipe out the dozens of climate deception cases that states and localities have filed around the country. §     Argument: Oct 5, 2026   ·      Voting and democracy o      Republican National Committee v. Mi Familia Vota (No. 25-1017) §     Issue: (1) Whether the National Voter Registration Act or a federal consent decree prohibits Arizona from requiring voter-registration applicants to produce "satisfactory evidence" of U.S. citizenship when registering with a state registration form; and (2) whether the NVRA prohibits Arizona from implementing a program within 90 days of a federal election to cancel the registrations of voters who are not U.S. citizens. §     Brief context: In 2022, Arizona passed two additional hurdles to voting. First, they required new voter registrants to provide a physical "documentary proof of citizenship." Secondly, Arizona enabled county recorders to conduct citizenship audits of voter registration rolls against both state and federal databases. Mi Familia Vota and others filed suit against the Republican National Committee (RNC) to block these state laws from going into effect. The Ninth Circuit sided with Mi Familia Vota. §     Consequences: Siding with the RNC to greenlight these additional hurdles would render another blow to voting access and our democracy. Such demands would screen out lower income voters, people who have changed their names, naturalized citizens, and anyone who doesn't happen to have easy ways to obtain a passport or their birth certificate. It would also open the door for other states to impose similar inequitable requirements. §     Argument: December 8, 2026   ·      LGBTQ+ Rights o      International Partners for Ethical Care, Inc. v. Ferguson (No. 25-840) §     Issue: Whether parents have standing to challenge a law or policy that deliberately displaces their decisionmaking role as to "gender transitions" of their children, and in so doing creates present and likely future impediments to their ability to parent their children as they deem best for them. §     Brief context: Washington took "modest steps to address the crisis of transgender youth homelessness" by updating its laws to allow minors in shelters to access "health care — including gender-affirming care — without contacting their parents." Staff must still make good faith efforts to notify the minor's parents and are only allowed to withhold information if sharing it would cause harm to the minor. In response, the International Partners for Ethical Care and a group of parents challenged these laws, claiming they chill speech and "deliberately displace their decision-making role." The Ninth Circuit court of appeals dismissed their case for lack of legal standing. §     Consequences: The issue of legal standing is often political, and if the Court grants these parents standing, it could open the door for special interest groups to manufacture so-called grievances to bring challenges to school curricula, library books, vaccination policies, and confidential reproductive care. ·      It would also advance yet another challenge to the medical necessity of gender-affirming care for transgender people while protecting the abuse of anti-LGBTQ+ parental rejection. §     Argument: December 7, 2026   ·      Gun Safety o      Viramontes v. Cook County (No. 25-238), consolidated with Grant v. Higgins (No. 25-566) §     Issue: Whether the Second and 14th Amendments guarantee the right to possess AR-15 platform and similar semiautomatic rifles. §     Brief context: When Cutberto Viramontes and Christopher Khaya were barred from owning AR-15 style weapons after they were banned in Cook County, Illinois, they joined two gun-rights organizations and filed a suit arguing that the law banning the sale, transfer, and possession of semiautomatic rifles violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution. Both an Illinois district court and the Seventh Circuit sided with Cook County and upheld the assault weapons ban. What will happen if the ban is overturned? §     Consequences: A decision overturning this ban could void other assault weapons bans in Connecticut, California, New York, and a dozen other states — bans that have drastically reduced mass shootings, including school shootings, compared to states without such bans. §     Argument: December 2, 2026   What c3s can do: ·      Supreme court advocacy is nonpartisan—you are free to stand for or against cases before any court or get involved in the cases. o      Litigation at the supreme court o      Amicus briefs o      Educating the public about cases and impacts of opinions Advocacy and lobbying work about the courts: ·      Nominee advocacy—Advocate for or against nominees to supreme court (lobbying) o      Remember the lower district courts and circuit courts as well o      Remember the lobbying rules if you are a c3: must track and report your lobbying the IRS and stay within your lobbying limits. Great place for c4s to get involved because they can lobbying in an unlimited amount. ·      Ethics advocacy—ask congress for more oversight or ethics rules (Lobbying if it will require a legislative vote). ·      Supreme court reform: increasing the size of the bench, retirement requirements, and more   Resources ·      Alliance for Justice, Being a Player ·      Alliance for Justice, Confirmation of Supreme Court Justices ·      Alliance for Justice, Judicial Nominee Tracker ·      Alliance for Justice, Supreme Court Reform ·      See more of our coverage of critical Supreme Court cases this term here.

Védeni akarta őket a változó környezet veszélyeitől.En: Judit researched Arctic wildlife, aiming to protect them from the dangers of a changing environment.Hu: Az ősz beköszöntött az Arktiszra.En: Autumn descended upon the Arctic.Hu: Halloweeni nap volt, és az ég sötét felhőket gyűjtött.En: It was Halloween, and the sky gathered dark clouds.Hu: István és Judit közös munka közben egyre közelebb kerültek egymáshoz.En: As they worked together, István and Judit grew closer.Hu: István átdolgozta adatait, míg Judit terepmunkájáról mesélt.En: István processed his data while Judit shared stories from her fieldwork.Hu: Mindketten megosztották egymással reményeiket és félelmeiket. A történeteikben megtalálták a kapcsolatot.En: They both shared their hopes and fears, finding connection in their stories.Hu: Amikor a vihar végül kitört, mindketten tudták, hogy gyorsan kell cselekedni.En: When the storm finally broke, both knew they had to act quickly.Hu: Az állomás védelmére összpontosítottak, gondoskodva az értékes felszerelés biztonságáról.En: They focused on protecting the station, ensuring the safety of the valuable equipment.Hu: Az erős szél és a hóvihar ellenére a vészjelző rendszereket aktiválták, együtt dolgozva, egymást támogatva.En: Despite the strong wind and snowstorm, they activated the emergency systems, working together and supporting each other.Hu: A vihar sejtelmes, zord árnyékot vetett az épületekre, mintha a természet maga öltött volna jelmezt Halloween tiszteletére.En: The storm cast an eerie, grim shadow over the buildings, as if nature itself had donned a costume in honor of Halloween.Hu: A vihar csúcspontján, a közös munka szüneteiben, István és Judit teát főztek.En: At the height of the storm, during breaks in their work, István and Judit brewed tea.Hu: Melegségük árnyékában meséltek egymásnak családi legendákról és a gyermekkorban hallott rémtörténetekről.En: In the warmth of the moment, they shared family legends and childhood horror stories.Hu: Ez a megosztott élmény megerősítette köztük a barátságot.En: This shared experience strengthened their friendship.Hu: A vihar zúgása kívül rekedt; bent csak a lágy beszélgetés hangja hallatszott.En: The roar of the storm was left outside; inside, only the sound of gentle conversation was heard.Hu: Végül a vihar elcsitult.En: Eventually, the storm subsided.Hu: A tiszta ég alatt István és Judit kiléptek a hó és jég birodalmába.En: Under the clear sky, István and Judit stepped out into the realm of snow and ice.Hu: Fáradtak voltak, de boldogok.En: They were tired but happy.Hu: Tudták, hogy ebben a vad, fagyos világban, nemcsak magukra számíthatnak.En: They knew that in this wild, frozen world, they could count on more than just themselves.Hu: A kutatás új lendületet kapott, és mindketten elhatározták, hogy még több időt töltenek együtt, erőt merítve egymásból.En: Their research gained new momentum, and they both resolved to spend more time together, drawing strength from each other.Hu: István már nem érezte magát egyedül.En: István no longer felt alone.Hu: Készen állt kapcsolatokat építeni, nyitott szívvel fogadni embertársait.En: He was ready to build relationships, to welcome others with an open heart.Hu: Judit pedig, aki hajlamos volt a világ helytelen iránya miatti aggodalmaskodásra, most megtalálta az optimizmust.En: Judit, who tended to worry about the world's misguided direction, now found optimism.Hu: Az előttük álló kihívások ellenére, ketten együtt erősebbek voltak, mint valaha.En: Despite the challenges ahead, together they were stronger than ever.Hu: A történetük a barátság és a közös cél hatalmáról szólt.En: Their story spoke of the power of friendship and shared goals.Hu: Az arktiszi tél előszobájában nemcsak az időjárási és természetvédelmi célok kötötték össze őket, hanem a szeretet és a bizalom is, amit megosztottak egymással.En: On the threshold of the Arctic winter, it wasn't just the meteorological and conservation objectives that connected them, but also the love and trust they shared with each other.

plats," sa Elin försiktigt.En: "Johan, we should focus on this place," Elin said cautiously.Sv: "Det är viktigt att vi har noggranna data och inte pressar oss för mycket."En: "It's important that we have precise data and don't push ourselves too much."Sv: Johan log, men hans ögon gnistrade av äventyrslust.En: Johan smiled, but his eyes sparkled with adventure lust.Sv: "Jag vet, Elin.En: "I know, Elin.Sv: Men tänk om vi hittar något riktigt unikt längre bort?En: But what if we find something truly unique farther away?Sv: Vi borde försöka!"En: We should give it a try!"Sv: Den arktiska hösten var förrädisk, med plötsliga väderförändringar.En: The Arctic autumn was treacherous, with sudden weather changes.Sv: Johan och Elin hade åkt hit för att studera klimatförändringarnas påverkan i området.En: Johan and Elin had come here to study the effects of climate change in the area.Sv: Deras lärare hade varnat dem för att vara försiktiga.En: Their teacher had warned them to be careful.Sv:

The Climat Change Advisory Council published its annual report yesterday. Professor Peter Thorne is chair of its adaptation committee.

The Climate Change Advisory Council is warning that Ireland is not preparing quickly enough for more frequent and severe weather extremes, with many flood-relief schemes still years from completion.     Here in Clare, the report also highlights significant flood-insurance gaps and the need for greater community resilience.    Alan Morrissey was joined by Dr Sinead Sheehan, Futureproof Clare spokesperson, and Bridget Ginnity, Ennis Environmental Action Group member, to discuss climate adaptation, flood protection and practical steps communities can take to become more resilient.

Climate Week in New York was supposed to be about climate. Instead, the conversation kept being pulled back to energy security, resilience and the growing sense that the world has entered a more volatile era. Conflict in the Middle East, drone attacks on critical infrastructure, the weaponisation of energy supply, and the surge in power demand from AI are all forcing policymakers, companies and investors to ask a harder question: how do you build an energy system that can absorb shocks without pushing costs even higher for consumers?In this special live edition of Energy Gang, recorded at NYU, host Ed Crooks is joined by regular contributor Amy Myers Jaffe and three guests with very different vantage points on that question: Neil Brown, managing director at KKR; Anna Shpitsberg, Wood Mackenzie's head of global power and renewables research; and Sarah Kapnick, global head of climate advisory at JPMorgan. Together they explore how geopolitics, technology and climate risk are colliding to reshape the energy agenda.Neil argues that the attacks on Gulf infrastructure mark a strategic break with the past: energy systems are no longer exposed only to familiar market risks, but to cheaper, more agile forms of disruption that can inflict outsized damage. He makes the case that the Gulf states have shown real resilience through defence spending, sovereign capital and economic diversification, but warns that the deeper problem is political. In his view, the prospect of a durable settlement in the region looks remote, raising the risk that energy markets are entering a prolonged era of instability rather than a temporary shock.Sarah and Anna widen the lens. Sarah argues that resilience now means more than access to fuel: it means the ability to keep supplying energy through geopolitical, technological and climate volatility. Anna points to Ukraine's experience to show why distributed systems can recover faster than large centralised assets, while also stressing that resilience is not the same as self-sufficiency. Building a more secure system may require domestic capacity, strategic partnerships, industrial policy and a willingness to pay for optionality at a time when affordability pressures are already intense.That tension runs through the whole discussion. AI and data-centre growth are lifting electricity demand, but no one is certain how fast that demand will materialise, how efficient future computing will become, or where investment should land first. The result is a more complex energy system with fewer easy answers: decentralisation can reduce single points of failure but create new cyber risks; trade policy can support domestic manufacturing but raise prices; and climate policy becomes much harder to sustain when voters no longer feel they can afford the transition. The stakes, the panel argues, are no longer just about decarbonisation in the abstract, but about whether energy systems can stay secure, investable and politically durable in a more dangerous world.This episode of Energy Gang is brought to you by ENGIE, the smarter energy supplier.

Runners can expect seasonably cool temperatures for the 2026 Twin Cities Marathon. But the early October tradition will be moving back a week starting next year. Race officials have stated health concerns due to heat as a reason for the change. Between 1961 and 1990, October temperatures never touched 90 degrees in the Twin Cities. But, since 2010, there has been two instances of 90-degree temperatures in October. And now it's twice as likely to hit temperatures over 80 degrees than 50 years ago.MPR News meteorologist Sven Sundgaard spoke with distance runner Jeff Denney and Jacob Kastner, the medical co-director of the Twin Cities Marathon, about how a changing climate is impacting long distance runners.

Trump's America Is Exhausting Us — And That May Be the Point It feels like America barely has time to process one crisis before the next one arrives. On today's The Karel Cast, Karel takes on the relentless political and cultural news cycle—from the Trump administration's latest moves affecting LGBTQ rights and Title IX, to rising prices, continuing war, climate threats and a country increasingly numb to stories that once would have stopped us in our tracks. But this episode goes beyond Washington. What happens to a society when outrage becomes routine? When allegations of horrific violence become another internet argument? When women and older performers such as Madonna are judged by standards their younger counterparts rarely face? And when celebrity culture can convince us that doing almost nothing is somehow revolutionary? Then there's something called a Kelvin wave. It sounds harmless enough—but changes in the Pacific can have serious consequences for ocean conditions and coastal communities. What does it mean, and why should California be paying attention? Politics. LGBTQ rights. War. Prices. Climate. Celebrity. Social media. One story after another. One outrage after another. And eventually, people become exhausted. That may be one of the most important things happening in America right now. Join the conversation: Are you experiencing news and outrage fatigue? Have you started tuning things out simply because there's too much to process? LIKE this video, SUBSCRIBE to The Karel Cast, and SHARE it with someone who has an opinion.

Rodney Hide entered Parliament as a list member of the ACT Party in 1996. He became ACT Leader in 2004, and following the 2008 election he was appointed Minister for three portfolios; Local Government, Regulatory Reform and Associate Minister of Commerce. His degrees in science and economics lent credibility to his commentary in other fields like climate change. It has been interesting following his philosophical journey since leaving parliament in 2011. And ...for the first time we talked for two full hours. As a result we have split the wide ranging discussion into two podcasts… part two next week. And we finish up in The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
