The Nativity of John the Baptist is a Christian high-ranking liturgical feast day observed annually on 24 June by the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Anglicanism, and Lutheranism. It is one of only two feast days marking a saint's earthly birth (the other being the nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on 8 September); all other saint’s days mark their deaths or some other important event. The sole biblical account of the birth of John the Baptist comes from the Gospel of Luke which states that John was born six months before Jesus; thus, the feast of John the Baptist’s birth was fixed in the 4th century A.D. on 24 June, six months before Christmas. In the Roman calendar, 24 June was the date of the summer solstice, and Saint John's Eve is closely associated with Midsummer festivities in Europe. Traditions in France & Quebec, include bonfires (Saint John's fires), feasting, processions, church services, and gathering wild plants. E122.

VOV1 - Tròn 10 năm Vương quốc Anh rời Liên minh châu Âu (EU) (Brexit), nước Anh đang cảm nhận rõ rệt những “nốt trầm” chính trị, kinh tế - xã hội mà sự kiện này để lại. Một cuộc tranh luận lại dấy lên về việc liệu Anh có nên tái gia nhập EU cũng như tương lai quan hệ Anh – EU sẽ ra sao.Dù kịch bản “sụp đổ” không xảy ra, song nền kinh tế Anh đang phải đối mặt với nhiều mất mát như: quy mô nền kinh tế bị thu hẹp, tăng trưởng kinh tế chậm lại; đồng bảng Anh mất giá, lạm phát, chi phí sinh hoạt liên tục gia tăng…Các rào cản thuế quan và quy định thương mại mới với thị trường EU lớn nhất khiến xuất nhập khẩu, đầu tư, năng suất và nguồn cung lao động của Anh đều sụt giảm nghiêm trọng.Các dự báo ngân sách chính thức của Anh ước tính nền kinh tế nước này sẽ nhỏ hơn khoảng 4% sau 15 năm Brexit, so với trường hợp họ ở lại EU. Cục Nghiên cứu Kinh tế Quốc gia (NBER) tại Mỹ dự báo mức độ thiệt hại còn lớn hơn, từ 6% đến 8%, trong đó đầu tư giảm tới 18% so với kịch bản “không Brexit”.Giáo sư kinh tế và chính sách công tại Đại học King's College London, ông Jonathan Portes, đánh giá:“ Đúng như các nhà kinh tế học dự đoán, Brexit đã tác động tiêu cực đáng kể đến nền kinh tế Anh.  Nền kinh tế Anh rõ ràng yếu hơn và nhỏ hơn so với trường hợp không Brexit. Có rất nhiều tranh luận về mức độ ảnh hưởng nhưng nói một cách tổng quát, chúng ta nghèo hơn vài phần trăm do Brexit. Tuy nhiên, đó không phải là một thảm họa”.Các cuộc khảo sát gần đây cho thấy nhiều cử tri Anh đánh giá việc Anh ra khỏi EU là “thất bại nhiều hơn thành công” và Brexit đã tác động tiêu cực đến nước Anh, do vậy họ có thể lựa chọn tái gia nhập EU nếu một cuộc trưng cầu dân ý mới được tổ chức. Kết quả cuộc khảo sát ở 15 quốc gia thuộc EU do Hội đồng Đối ngoại châu Âu (ECFR) công bố hôm qua (21/6) cho thấy có tới 66% số người được hỏi cho rằng việc Anh tái gia nhập EU là ý tưởng tích cực và có thể chấp nhận được. Trong khi đó, 75% người được hỏi ở Anh muốn Anh thúc đẩy quan hệ gần gũi hơn với EU. Các chính trị gia châu Âu như Tổng thống Pháp Emmanuel Macron, Thủ tướng Tây Ban Nha Pedro Sánchez cũng bảy tỏ sự ủng hộ nếu Anh mong muốn tái gia nhập EU.Ngoài hậu quả về kinh tế, Brexit cũng là một trong những nguyên nhân khiến nền chính trị Anh rơi vào bất ổn kéo dài với những chia rẽ sâu sắc trong nội bộ đảng cầm quyền và xã hội, làm suy yếu nhiều đời Thủ tướng do không dung hòa được lập trường các phe phái.Thủ tướng Anh Keir Starmer đang tích cực thúc đẩy chiến lược "thiết lập lại" quan hệ với Liên minh châu Âu (EU) nhằm tháo gỡ các rào cản thương mại, tăng cường an ninh chung và cải thiện đời sống kinh tế hậu Brexit. Tuy nhiên, phe bảo thủ và các lực lượng ủng hộ Brexit ở Anh vẫn phản ứng mạnh mẽ mọi động thái đưa Anh xích lại gần hơn với EU.Thủ tướng Anh Keir Starmer – đang đứng trước áp lực từ chức những ngày qua- thừa nhận:“Biết rằng mọi người đang thất vọng về tình trạng của nước Anh, thất vọng về chính trị, và một số người thất vọng về tôi. Tôi biết mình cần phải chứng minh họ sai và tôi sẽ làm được."Trong bối cảnh đó, các nhà quan sát cho rằng sự thay đổi thái độ, dư luận của công chúng Anh và ở châu Âu dù có thể tạo nền tảng thuận lợi cho Anh và EU thúc đẩy tiến trình cải thiên quan hệ trong những năm tới, song khả năng Anh quay lại “ngôi nhà chung Châu Âu” chưa phải là lựa chọn chính sách thực tế trong ngắn hạn ./.Võ Giang/VOV1Ảnh minh họa

Peptides have become a new buzzword in the wellness industry. Social media influencers have spoken about using them for optimising performance in the gym and improving their appearance, and they're increasingly popular with women. But some unregulated peptides haven't been through clinical trials and could be ineffective, or even harmful. Nuala McGovern is joined by BBC Health reporter Ruth Clegg, who has been looking into the way women are using peptides, and Adam Taylor, Professor of Anatomy at the University of Lancaster.Jon Snow, the lead presenter of Channel 4 News for over three decades. has revealed he has Alzheimer's disease.

We are excited to host Grace Blest-Hopley on this episode of the Mangu.tv podcast. Dr Grace Blest-Hopley is a neuroscientist with over a decade of research into cannabinoids and psychedelics, and the founder of Hystelica — the world's first research organisation dedicated to understanding female biology for safer, more effective psychedelic use, delivering both original research and education in the field. She holds a PhD in Neuroscience from King's College London, and now serves as Chief Scientific Officer at NWPharmaTech and Research Director at Heroic Hearts Project, where she leads work supporting military veterans living with trauma. Grace has spoken internationally as part of her advocacy for women's representation in psychedelic science.   Grace discusses her upbringing on a Staffordshire farm, her connection to horses, and how experiences in India led her to study neuroscience. She and Giancarlo explore the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids, the challenges of cannabis research, and findings from neuroimaging studies of long-term users, particularly those who started young.Their conversation also covers the rise of psychedelic-assisted therapy, the importance of preparation and integration, and Grace's work with the Heroic Hearts Project, where she witnessed the benefits of Ayahuasca ceremonies with the Shipibo people. Grace explains how psychedelics may create a window of increased neuroplasticity, offering opportunities to rewire the brain. She also discusses her research into women's health, examining how hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle can influence psychedelic experiences and their therapeutic potential.

Professor Olivier Schmitt describes the systemic challenges of military transformation, given rapidly evolving technology and NATO's distinct strategic cultures. Modern defence and security reviews highlight the deteriorating security environment and the need to prepare forces. But, as we hear from Lord King (Season 6, Episode 3), the ability to adapt will be essential; we need a mindset that allows for continuous change. This is both enabled by, and made harder within, an alliance context where members' different strategic cultures – with different civil-military relations, defence procurement and operations – present systemic dilemmas. Professor Olivier Schmitt is the Head of Research at the Institute of Military Operations at the Royal Danish Defence College. He completed his doctorate at the Department of War Studies, King's College London. His most recent book, Preparing for War: Strategy, Power and Military Change, was published by Hurst/Oxford University Press in 2026.   Further Reading: Schmitt, Olivier: Preparing for War.

The Black Death swept across Europe in the mid-14th century, killing millions and leaving entire regions devastated. No corner of the continent was spared, and Cyprus too fell victim to the deadly pandemic. Giovanni Francesco Loredano, writing under the pseudonym Henrico Giblet, claimed that the plague struck Cyprus in early 1348, spreading from Famagusta and lasting a full year. He described widespread devastation, the king's withdrawal to the “Castello Dio d'Amore,” (Saint Hilarion) and the ennobling of foreigners to replace lost nobility. Next month, I welcome back Dr. Tassos Papacostas (King's College London) to discuss the Black Death and Cyprus!

HEALTH NEWS   Study links low vitamin C levels in the blood plasma to reduced brain connectivity Study: Tart Cherry Supplementation Alters Muscle Protein Profile After Exercise Socioeconomic factors may leave more lasting imprint on children's brains than IQ or parenting style Fasting-mimicking diet reduces gum disease inflammation Low blood pressure shows strongest link to Alzheimer's disease   Study links low vitamin C levels in the blood plasma to reduced brain connectivity Hirosaki University (Japan), June 10 2026 (News-Medical) Previous research has uncovered associations between diets higher in vitamin C and lower risk of cognitive impairment in older adults. However, few studies have looked directly at vitamin C levels in blood plasma and potential associations with brain structure and connectivity within brain networks. To help fill that gap, Nagaya and colleagues analyzed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and plasma vitamin C levels of 2,044 adults over the age of 64. Specifically, they measured the volume of each participant's gray and white brain matter (accounting for individual differences in total brain volume between participants). They also evaluated connectivity within the default mode network, which is associated with several cognitive functions, such as attention and autobiographical memory. After statistically accounting for other factors the researchers found that participants with lower plasma vitamin C levels tended to have lower gray matter volume, as well as lower connectivity within the default mode network. These findings suggest the possibility that optimal levels of vitamin C in blood plasma could potentially support cognitive function and counteract cognitive decline. However, the findings do not confirm any such cause-effect relationship between vitamin C levels and brain health.   Study: Tart Cherry Supplementation Alters Muscle Protein Profile After Exercise University of Exeter (UK), June 11 2026 (Natural News) Researchers recruited 34 healthy, recreationally active young men and assigned them to receive either a placebo, a low-dose tart cherry concentrate, or a high-dose tart cherry supplement, according to the study report. Participants consumed their assigned supplement for seven days before completing a muscle-damaging workout and continued supplementation for three days afterward, for a total intervention of 10 days. The study found that tart cherry supplementation significantly altered the muscle's protein profile following exercise-induced damage. Changes were observed in proteins involved in muscle structure, contraction, cellular repair processes, and immune-cell activity within muscle tissue. These findings suggest that tart cherry polyphenols may influence the way muscles respond to and recover from the stress of exercise. Researchers also detected significant increases in hippuric acid, a compound produced when gut microbes break down polyphenols from tart cherries and other plant foods. Participants with higher levels of hippuric acid tended to maintain better muscle function following exercise-induced damage.   Socioeconomic factors may leave more lasting imprint on children's brains than IQ or parenting style Washington University in St. Louis, June 11 2026 (Medical Xpress) After analyzing hundreds of biological, psychological, social and environmental factors related to children's development, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that a family's financial situation and the resources and opportunities in a child's neighborhood had the strongest connection to brain development. Socioeconomic factors accounted for about 16% of the variability in measures of children's brain function—far more than IQ, parenting style and health history.  As part of the study, the researchers analyzed brain scans from nearly 12,000 children ages 9 to 10 to see how a child's environment, health and regular activities are related to brain development. Of the hundreds of factors examined, the team found that the socioeconomic status of a child's family had the strongest relationship with that child's brain structure and function. Further, the parts of the brain that reflect socioeconomic factors were the same areas most sensitive to sleep and stress, suggesting that socioeconomic disadvantage affects the brain indirectly through disrupted sleep and chronic stress. Of the top 40 variables linked to brain function, 37 were socioeconomic, and of the top 40 tied to structure, 35 were socioeconomic. These included the social and economic resources in the child's neighborhood, akin to the overall wealth of an area. Strong influences included family income, homeownership, poverty rates and access to transportation. The remaining top variables were related to sleep, screen time and stress.   Fasting-mimicking diet reduces gum disease inflammation Kings College London, June 11 2026 (Eurekalert) People who follow a short-term low-calorie diet may have reduced markers of inflammation associated with gum disease. A new study by King's College London highlights how lifestyle modifications could be important alongside plaque control in managing gum disease. The research included 28 patients from across hospitals in Spain, split into two groups – those who followed a five-day restrictive diet, versus a control group who continued their usual diet. Patients who fasted ate 1,100 calories for two days, then 750 calories for three days. The sixth day gently introduced more calories with soft foods – then their diets returned to normal by the seventh day. This was repeated three times in six months, with patients reporting the diet easy to stick to. After six months, samples were analysed from the patients' blood and gingival crevicular fluid – liquid that comes from the small space between your tooth and gum, which helps gums stay healthy and fight germs. Those who fasted had reduced markers of inflammation in samples from blood and gum tissue compared to those whose diets stayed the same, including lower levels of C-reactive protein, a general indicator of inflammation around the body. The fasting group also had reduced molecules linked to inflammation specifically in the gums, compared to controls.   Low blood pressure shows strongest link to Alzheimer's disease Michigan Technological University, Jun 10 2026 (News-Medical) Numerous types of cardiovascular disease and CVD risk factors were linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease, with low blood pressure showing the strongest connection, according to a new analysis published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association What are the key findings of the analysis? Adults with hypotension (low blood pressure) were about three times more likely to develop Alzheimer's and nearly twice as likely in the All of Us study when compared to individuals who did not have low blood pressure. Across both datasets, adults with high blood pressure (hypertension) were 1.6 times more likely to have Alzheimer's disease, compared to people without hypertension. Participants who had a previous stroke had a 1.5 times higher risk for Alzheimer's disease in the UK Biobank and 1.85 times in All of Us. Those with irregular heartbeat (or atrial fibrillation, also called AFib) were about 1.5 times more likely to have Alzheimer's disease compared to those without AFib.    

In this third episode of The Helsinki Brief: Inside Finnish Intelligence and Security, Dr Paul McGarr (King's College London) is joined again by Hannamiina Tanninen of the Finnish Security and Intelligence Service (SUPO) to explore Finland's 'comprehensive security' model — a point of reference in international debates on resilience. They unpack what “comprehensive security” means in practice: an all-of-society approach designed to keep Finland functioning as normally as possible during crises, from major disruptions and natural disasters to heightened security threats. The conversation looks at how the model is embedded across government, the private sector and civil society — and why joint exercises, consultation and coordination are central to making it work. The episode also looks at the foundations that make this approach work in Finland — including high public trust, the welfare state, a broad-based education system and mandatory conscription — as well as the role of the National Emergency Supply Agency. Finally, the discussion considers which elements of the Finnish model might be transferable elsewhere — and which are rooted in Finland's specific history, size and social cohesion. Hannamiina Tanninen is a doctoral researcher at the National Defence University in Finland, researching on modelling the strategic environment of the Finnish security of supply system with emphasis on defining economic intelligence and economic security in intelligence studies. She is also a visiting researcher at Imperial College London.

Could inflammation be causing low mood, anxiety, depression, or even affecting your risk of dementia?  Emerging science suggests that inflammation in the body may change how the brain works. In this episode, Ed Bullmore, a Professor of Psychiatry at King's College London and a leading voice in brain research, explores why feeling low, emotionally flat, foggy or exhausted may not always be “all in your head”. Ed explores emerging science suggesting that inflammation in the body may alter how the brain works. He explains how inflammation can influence the brain and discusses why obesity, gut health, gum disease, menopause, ageing and stress may all play a role. He also examines why medicine has traditionally separated physical and mental health, and what this may mean for understanding the root causes of low mood. By the end of the episode, you'll have some practical ways to support both brain and body health. Ed shares the evidence behind which exercise and diet matter most, and why discussing mental and physical health together may help you get closer to the causes of your symptoms. If your mood, energy and brain health are shaped by more than what's happening in your mind, what might your body be trying to tell you?

What's in a face? For the ancient Greeks, the shape and features of a person's face revealed their character, virtue and intelligence. Though these attitudes are outdated, they linger today as our faces are scrutinized in selfies and social media. In her new book, “The Face,” historian Fay Bound-Alberti shares the history and science of how we see and make sense of one another's faces—while she struggles to recognize the faces of others. She'll share why the human face has influenced politics, culture and our obsession with beauty and perfection. Guests: Fay Bound-Alberti, professor of modern history, King's College London; author, "The Face: A Cultural History" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Around 80% of people think the gap between those on high and low incomes is too big. But only around 40% think the government should redistribute income from the rich to the poor.Why is there such a gap between concern about inequality and support for action to reduce it?In the second episode of our mini-series on inequality, we ask why people care about inequality, whether they distinguish it from poverty, and how views about luck, hard work, wealth and power shape attitudes to policy.Helen Miller is joined by Jonathan Cribb, Deputy Director at IFS, and Bobby Duffy, Professor of Public Policy and Director of the Policy Institute at King's College London. They draw on work for the IFS Deaton Review of Inequalities to explore what the British public thinks about inequality, what kinds of inequality worry people most, and what they want government to do about it.Become a member: https://ifs.org.uk/individual-membershipFind out more: https://ifs.org.uk/podcasts-explainers-and-calculators/podcasts Hosted on Acast.

In this bonus episode of Makers & Mystics, Stephen Roach revisits The Pace of Beauty series with artist and designer Jennifer Sturrock. Drawing from her background in couture, contemporary art, and theological study, Jennifer shares how fabric and materiality have become a framework for exploring deeper questions of identity, mystery, and communion with God. What begins as a conversation about textiles and clothing unfolds into a rich exploration of the Transfiguration, the symbolism of garments throughout Scripture, and the ways beauty reveals truths that often remain hidden beneath the surface.Stephen and Jen discuss the theological significance of clothing and how fashion can function as both concealment and revelation. Jennifer reflects on her own artistic practice, including large-scale textile installations that invite viewers into contemplation, mystery, and embodied ways of knowing.The conversation also explores Jennifer's idea of "rewilding the creative soul,” embracing vulnerability, and discovering the beauty that emerges when people become more fully themselves.Highlights:• Jennifer's journey from fashion and textile design into theology and contemporary art • How the Transfiguration shaped her artistic and theological imagination • Fashion as language  • Art as a practice of mystery, contemplation, and unknowingAbout Jennifer SturrockJennifer Sturrock is a Scottish multidisciplinary artist, designer, curator, and researcher whose work integrates couture, installation art, and poetry. Drawing on studies at Chelsea College of Arts and London College of Fashion, she later earned a Master's degree in Theology & the Arts from King's College London, where she specialized in the idea of beauty in theology.Connect with JenWebsite: https://www.jennifersturrock.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jensturrockSend us Fan MailSupport the showVISUAL ARTS RETREAT:  If you're looking for creative renewal, meaningful connection, and space to deepen your artistic practice,  I want to invite you to our upcoming retreat in Moravian Falls, North Carolina, July 10th through 12th.  Applications are open, but space is limited. Sign Up for Our Newsletter! http://eepurl.com/g49Ks1Give a one-time donation https://buy.stripe.com/9AQeYj7431fD12waEOJoin the Makers & Mystics Creative Collective https://www.patreon.com/c/makersandmystics

We look at how Russia's armed forces are learning lessons from combat and examine Moscow's ambitions in its war against Ukraine. The full-scale invasion of Ukraine is part of a long-term, much larger project of turning Russia into a regional hegemon with influence on other continents, while it builds relationships with China and others who may help its goals. In this episode, Dr Andrew Monaghan, RUSI Senior Associate Fellow, unravels the threat and the depth of Russian long-term preparation for war. Dr Monaghan is a senior British expert on Russia with extensive publications. He has directed research on Russia at NATO's Research Division in Rome, at Oxford University's Changing Character War Centre, and has worked at the UK's Defence Academy and Chatham House. He holds his PhD from the Department of War Studies, King's College London.

Podcastimizin 300'üncü bölümünde Pelin Dilara Çolak'ı ağırladım. Pelin Dilara Çolak, felsefeyi dijital medyada yeniden konumlandıran akademik bir araştırmacı ve yayıncı. Onu 2018'den bu yana YouTube ve podcast platformlarındaki yayınlarından tanıyorsunuz; Cumhuriyet Gazetesi'nin ifadesiyle "toplumun her kesiminden insanı felsefeyle tanıştıran" bir isim. İçerik üreticiliğinin yanı sıra 2022'de Londra'da, 2025'te ise Berlin'de Philosophy Works adlı yaratıcı stüdyoyu kuran Pelin Hanım, Athenaeum Kitap Kulübü ve Kolektif 06 gibi topluluk projelerini de yürütüyor. Akademik çalışmalarını ise King's College London'da sürdürüyor. Söyleşimizde önce Pelin Hanım'ın bir "bilgi girişimcisi" olarak çıktığı yolun arka planını, iş insanı vasfının ailesindeki izini sürmek istedim. Ardından felsefi düşünmenin derin düşünmeden farkını sordum; felsefe eğitiminin bir düşünme eğitimi olup olmadığını konuştuk. Bilim, din ve felsefe ilişkisinden insanın anlam arayışına, oradan da yapay zekânın felsefeyle neden bu kadar yakın temas hâlinde olması gerektiğine uzandık. Hubert Dreyfus'un MIT'de kurduğu Heideggerian Lab üzerinden, yapay zekânın çözemediği "çerçeve problemi"ni ve "yönelimsellik" kavramını ele aldık: Bir insanı insan yapan şey sahip olduğu bilgi yığını değil, hangi şeylere hangi önemi atfettiği; yani kendi yaşama dünyasını nasıl kurduğu. Stoacıların "arı kovanı için iyi olmayan, arı için de iyi olamaz" sözünden hareketle, konuyu bireyselliğin neden topluluk olmadan eksik kaldığına bağladık. Pelin Hanım, tek yönlü içerik üretiminden Athenaum ve Collective 06:00 gibi topluluk projelerine geçişini bu farkındalıkla açıkladı. Yapay zekâ çağında bizi biz yapacak olan şey, sahip olduğumuz bilgi değil; o bilgiye yöneldiğimiz açı, kendi sınırlarımızı çizebilme becerimiz ve durup düşünmeye tahammül edebilmemiz olacak. Pelin Hanım'ın değer formülünün "düşünceyi deneyime çevirmek" olması, benim merakla başlayıp eylemle biten formülümle de güzel bir yerde buluştu.Bu söyleşiyle podcastime bir sezon arası veriyorum. Eylül ayında tekrar görüşmek üzere.(02:48) Girişimciliğinin geçmişinden gelen izleri (09:35) Felsefi düşünmenin, düşünmeden farkı (16:07) Felsefe eğitimi düşünme eğitimi midir?

The Story of a Sikh Museum: Heritage, Politics, Popular Culture, published by Cambridge University Press in July 2025, is a pioneering study on Sikh museums, a unique phenomenon of contemporary India—for their sheer numbers, distinctive display, malleability and presence in multiple cultural spheres and their political significance. This case study of Bhai Mati Das Museum at Gurdwara Sisganj, Delhi, examines the process of creation of Sikh heritage through history, paintings, and museums, unearths networks of patronage, and analyses the ways in which specific versions of the Sikh past are used to make present-day claims. It is based on interviews with artists and patrons, material from personal and institutional archives, a visual analysis of Sikh popular art and a critical examination of the museum's narrative. This book brings together Sikh history, popular art, politics and museums to discuss some of the most important current debates (of nation, identity and heritage) and reveals new ways in which we may understand museums, especially in a non-Western context. Kanika Singh is a historian, founder of Delhi Heritage Walks and Director at Centre for Writing & Communication at Ashoka University. Harleen Kaur is a historian and urban studies scholar who recently completed her Joint PhD from National University of Singapore and King's College London. Learn more about your ad choices.

Cosa succederebbe se fosse un'intelligenza artificiale a gestire una guerra? In una crisi internazionale sceglierebbe la diplomazia o l'escalation? E soprattutto: un'AI eviterebbe davvero un conflitto nucleare? Un nuovo studio del professor Kenneth Payne del King's College London ha provato a rispondere a queste domande simulando diversi scenari di guerra e affidandone la gestione a tre modelli di AI: OpenAI GPT-5.2, Google Gemini 3 Flash e Claude Sonnet 4 di Anthropic. I risultati sono sorprendenti: pur adottando strategie diverse, nessun modello tende spontaneamente alla de-escalation. Ma quanto è realistico questo scenario? In questo video vediamo come è strutturato questo studio, quali sono i risultati e perché le AI agiscono così.

If you showed the same bitewing to 10 dentists, would they all agree on whether to pick up the drill? Why does the word monitoring mean nothing to a patient — and how does swapping it for active surveillance change everything from your notes to your indemnity to your government policy meetings? Is it overtreatment to act on an E2 lesion — or is “watch and wait” actually the lazy answer dressed up as minimally invasive? And what should you actually do with AI caries detection that flags shadows your eye doesn't see? In this episode, Professor Avijit Banerjee — Professor of Cariology & Operative Dentistry at King's College London, Honorary Consultant at Guy's & St Thomas', and First Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry at the College of General Dentistry — sits down with Jaz for what is genuinely one of the most important caries conversations on the podcast. Part one of two. Avijit doesn't do soft answers. The drill-fill-bill model is broken. “Monitoring” needs to go. “Treatment planning” is antiquated terminology medics dropped twenty-five years ago. And AI in caries diagnosis? Useful — but the moment it gets things wrong, you are the one with indemnity, not the software. What you walk away with is a framework (MIOC), a decision filter (three factors that decide whether to pick up a bur), and a vocabulary shift you can implement tomorrow. Part two covers peptides, SDF, hydroxyapatite, stepwise excavation, and managing caries in xerostomia. https://youtu.be/YriLo8_hXNw Watch PDP268 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Delete the Word “Monitor” from Your Vocabulary Stop saying monitor. Start saying active surveillance. ⚠️ Active surveillance must not mean passive delay — document your reasoning, risk assessment, and what would trigger intervention. ✅ Explain it to patients as structured, proactive care: clinical checks, radiographs, risk review, behaviour support, and timely action if things change. Key Takeaways Minimum intervention oral care is bigger than minimally invasive dentistry. MIOC is prevention-based, person-focused, susceptibility-related, and delivered by the whole oral healthcare team. MID is only one part of MIOC: operative dentistry when a tooth actually needs intervention. The four MIOC domains are: identify the problem, prevent lesions and control disease, provide minimally invasive operative care, then reassess. A care plan is more useful than a treatment plan because it includes justification, prevention, behaviour change, and review. Ask patients what matters to you, not just what's the matter with you. Cavitation, cleansability, and lesion activity should guide whether to intervene operatively. A cavitated lesion that cannot be cleaned is much more likely to remain active. Smooth surface lesions may sometimes be made cleansable without conventional drilling. Restorations are not just about filling holes; they help recreate a cleansable tooth surface. There is no single perfect caries detection technology — clinical examination and good radiographs remain fundamental. If using NIRI, fluorescence, scanners, or AI, understand how the technology works and where it fails. AI should support diagnosis, not replace clinical judgement. For uncertain early lesions, triangulate: clinical findings, radiographs, risk, technology, and patient factors. Proximal resin infiltration has a role in the right patient and situation, especially as part of a wider prevention-led strategy.

Allergies have tripled - with hay fever, seasonal allergies, eczema and food intolerances now affecting millions of people. But why are allergy symptoms getting worse, and what does gut health have to do with it? In this episode, Adam Fox, a world-leading allergy Professor at King's College London, explains why allergies may be rising so fast, why many beliefs about allergies are wrong, and what new science reveals about your immune system, skin and gut. Professor Fox explores why some foods are more likely to trigger reactions, and why modern allergy science is increasingly focused on gut health. Adam also discusses why 90% of people told they are allergic to certain things may not actually be allergic, the difference between allergies and intolerances, and why some antihistamines may be doing you more harm than you realise. By the end of this episode, you will have some practical ways to manage hay fever and seasonal allergies, including which antihistamines experts now recommend avoiding, simple ways to reduce pollen exposure at home, and when allergy testing or desensitisation treatment may help. Adam explains how newer treatments are starting to retrain the immune system rather than simply suppress symptoms. If allergies barely existed a few hundred years ago, what changed? And could your gut now be shaping the way your immune system reacts to the world around you?

Max and Maria welcome back Dr. Sam Greene, professor of Russian Politics at King's College London, to discuss the state of Russian public opinion today, and whether domestic conditions have begun change given the state of the economy, war, and reports of increasing paranoia in the Kremlin. 

Day 1,534.Today, as President Zelensky said he "doesn't recommend" that foreign representatives attend tomorrow's May Day parade in Moscow, we report on the Kremlin's cool and measured response to the threat of Ukrainian strikes, with Russian State Duma deputies threatening the use of Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missiles against Kyiv whilst, for reasons known only to them, warning that these statements are Russia's “last warning to Brussels”. And, as the Azov Corps say they have returned to occupied Mariupol - albeit using strike drones - somewhat fittingly we have our regular update of resistance activity in the occupied areas.

The town of Weimar looms large in German history. This ancient town nestled in the heart of the country was home to some of Europe's greatest thinkers, Goethe and Schiller, Liszt and Nietzsche among them. It gave its name to the ambitious Weimar Republic crafted in the aftermath of the First World War. But it was also where fascism took hold. Where Bauhaus architects first experimented with new ways of living, Buchenwald was dug out of a beech forest. German-British historian Katya Hoyer has drawn on a wealth of new archival research to tell the story of Weimar through the lives of some of its citizens from the years 1919-1939.  In this episode, she talks to historian Sophie Scott-Brown about some of these vividly drawn characters who, as the events of history swept them up, became witnesses, perpetrators, victims and bystanders. How did Germany, within a few years, turn from one of the most liberal democracies in the world to a genocidal dictatorship? What choices did individual Germans make that enabled this? And what lessons can we learn to avoid repeating their mistakes?  Katja Hoyer is Visiting Research Fellow at King's College London and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. She is the author of Weimar: Life on the Edge of Catastrophe.

Lawfare Book Review Editor Jonathan Cedarbaum sits down with Anja Shortland, professor of political economy at King's College London, to discuss her new book, "Dark Screens: Hackers and Heroes in the Shadowy World of Ransomware." The book offers a history of the development of ransomware into perhaps the most important form of cyber crime, costing the global economy $75 billion a year. In the book, Shortland depicts the evolving strategies of ransomware organizations and the efforts by governments and corporations to defend themselves from this often crippling type of cyber attack. Shortland and Cedarbaum talk about the emergence of organized criminal groups specializing in digital extortion over the past 15 years, some of their most spectacular hacks, how target organizations have worked to make themselves more resilient to ransomware attacks, and how governments have sought to disrupt ransomware groups.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
