Incontinence and chronic pain are just some of the life-altering effects caused by heavy ketamine use – which is at record levels.The drug, used in clinical settings as an anaesthetic, sedative and pain reliever, can create hallucinations in users. But those who become addicted to ketamine also face severe bladder and kidney problems.As the government considers reclassifying ketamine to a Class A substance, Shingi Mararike, our North of England correspondent, has been speaking to people suffering life-changing health consequences, and the people trying to help them.He joins Niall Paterson on the Sky News Daily to share more about the use of the drug.Plus, Dr Caroline Copeland, a senior lecturer in pharmacology and toxicology at King's College London and director of the National Programme on Substance Use Mortality, talks to Niall about why the discussion on ketamine needs to go beyond criminalisation.Information on drug abuse is available by calling Talk to Frank on 0300 123 6600, or online at talktofrank.com.Producers: Soila Apparicio, Araminta Parker Editor: Mike Bovill

Richard W. Harrison's The Soviet Army's High Commands in War and Peace, 1941-1992 (Casemate Academic, 2022) is the first full treatment of the unique phenomenon of High Commands in the Soviet Army during World War II and the Cold War. The war on the Eastern Front during 1941–45 was an immense struggle, running from the Barents Sea to the Caucasus Mountains. The vast distances involved forced the Soviet political-military leadership to resort to new organizational expedients in order to control operations along the extended front. These were the high commands of the directions, which were responsible for two or more fronts (army groups) and, along maritime axes, one or more fleets. In all, five high commands were created along the northwestern, western, southwestern, and North Caucasus strategic directions during 1941–42. However, the highly unfavorable strategic situation during the first year of the war, as well as interference in day-to-day operations by Stalin, severely limited the high commands' effectiveness. As a consequence, the high commands were abolished in mid-1942 and replaced by the more flexible system of supreme command representatives at the front. A High Command of Soviet Forces in the Far East was established in 1945 and oversaw the Red Army's highly effective campaign against Japanese forces in Manchuria. The Far Eastern High Command was briefly resurrected in 1947 as a response to the tense situation along the Korean peninsula and the ongoing civil war in China, but was abolished in 1953, soon after Stalin's death. Growing tensions with China brought about the recreation of the Far Eastern High Command in 1979, followed a few years later by the appearance of new high commands in Europe and South Asia. However, these new high commands did not long survive the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and were abolished a year later. The book relies almost exclusively on Soviet and post-communist archival and other sources and is the first unclassified treatment of this subject in any country, East or West.Richard W. Harrison earned his Undergraduate and Master's degrees from Georgetown University, where he specialized in Russian Area Studies. He later earned his doctorate in War Studies from King's College London. He also was an exchange student in the former Soviet Union and spent several years living and working in post-communist Russia. He has taught Russian History and Military History at the US Military Academy at West Point. Dr. Harrison lives with his family near Carlisle, Pennsylvania.Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar with research areas spanning Civilizational Sciences, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, Military History, War Studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, and Russian and East European history.

As civilian suffering mounts in Gaza and Ukraine, the moral rules of war appear increasingly irrelevant—and yet, militaries continue to train soldiers in ethics and restraint. In this powerful and timely conversation, Maz speaks with Dr. Pauline Shanks Kaurin, former Stockton Chair of Ethics at the U.S. Naval War College, and Dr. David Whetham, Professor of Ethics at King's College London, to explore the crisis of military ethics in the face of realpolitik, information warfare, and institutional silence. Together, they explore: The erosion of Jus in Bello principles: distinction, proportionality, necessity The limits of moral courage in authoritarian vs democratic militaries Why disciplined disobedience may be the last refuge of the ethical soldier The role and politicisation of institutions like the ICC and ICJ The psychological burden of moral injury and loss of trust in leadership The tension between values and interests in modern warfare Why Pauline resigned from her post—and what it tells us about the U.S. military's ethical culture This is an unflinching look at what it means to serve with honour when the rules no longer seem to apply.

On this episode, Peter Boettke chats with Mark Pennington on Mark's latest book, Foucault and Liberal Political Economy: Power, Knowledge, and Freedom (Oxford University Press, 2025). Pennington argues that Foucault's ideas on self-creation, disciplinary power, and biopolitics align with key liberal concerns about social control and individual agency. He critiques how both liberals and Foucauldian critics have misunderstood or ignored these connections, and drawing on thinkers like Hayek, Buchanan, and Ostrom, he calls for a liberalism that emphasizes pluralism, resists technocratic overreach, and engages more deeply with the insights of the humanities.Dr. Mark Pennington is Professor of Political Economy and Public Policy in the Department of Political Economy at King's College London.

What if the key to personal growth wasn't radical transformation—but tiny, consistent experiments? In this full-spectrum conversation, neuroscientist and Ness Labs founder Anne-Laure Le Cunff joins me to explore how to rewire our brains for curiosity, resilience, and sustainable growth. We talk about how our brains are hardwired for safety (and why that gets in the way of change), why embracing uncertainty is a learnable skill, and how to overcome the “insight trap”—where we understand a concept but still fail to appl y it. Anne-Laure shares tools from her book Tiny Experiments, including how to approach daily life more scientifically, balance structure with flexibility, and develop an identity rooted in exploration - not perfection. We also touch on creativity, burnout, goal-setting, and the neuroscience behind procrastination and decision-making.

Ozempic Revealed: The Science Behind Breakthrough Weight Loss Transformation

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, where we uncover the latest news, research, and real-world updates on Ozempic's expanding role in health, wellness, and weight management.Ozempic, known as semaglutide, was originally created to help manage type 2 diabetes, but it quickly gained enormous popularity for another reason—impressive weight loss. According to Wellbeing Nutrition, Ozempic helps people lose weight by stabilizing blood sugar, controlling appetite, and slowing how quickly your stomach empties, which helps you feel satisfied after smaller meals. This leads to fewer cravings, more manageable portions, and less overeating, all while supporting smoother blood sugar levels, so you avoid the energy crashes that usually derail diets.Clinical studies have shown that Ozempic users can lose between ten and fifteen percent of their body weight over the course of a year. The research highlighted by Yale Campus Press confirms these numbers, showing that gradual, consistent weight loss is typical for those who stick with Ozempic and pair it with basic lifestyle changes, like moderate diet tweaks and some exercise.What else makes Ozempic stand out? Its weekly injection schedule is a major plus for people who prefer a simple routine over remembering daily medications. No complicated pharmacy refills, just one shot a week, making consistent use far more achievable—and that consistency is key to long-term weight loss.Now, beyond shedding pounds, Ozempic delivers a range of metabolic benefits. Not only do most people see improved cholesterol and blood pressure, but there are marked reductions in cardiovascular risk for people with type 2 diabetes. Science magazine recently recognized these GLP-1 drugs as a medical breakthrough, also naming new research showing they can reduce complications of heart failure and kidney disease.But just as with any medication, there are things listeners should consider. As reported by DW, Ozempic's side effects are getting more attention as use becomes more widespread. While most users experience only mild symptoms, like nausea or diarrhea, there are rare but serious risks, such as pancreatitis and shifts in mood or vision. And while most unwanted effects tend to show up in the early weeks, experts like Penny Ward at King's College London stress the need for careful, ongoing monitoring to spot and manage these side effects early.There is another factor to highlight—weight regain after stopping Ozempic. Recent studies presented by Deaconess Health show that about two-thirds of the weight lost may be regained within a year after coming off the medication. That points to Ozempic acting much like a crutch; the benefits persist as long as you use it, but sustainable, long-term weight management still requires ongoing effort and healthy habits.Personal response to Ozempic can vary. Medical News Today reports new research showing men with higher body fat percentages, longer duration of treatment, and low starting blood sugar tend to have the best weight loss results. Women who start with lower skeletal muscle mass appear to have a slight edge as well, but the biggest predictor is sticking with the medication under medical supervision.With all the excitement around Ozempic, experts urge everyone to approach this solution thoughtfully. Starting these medications should always involve a medical professional. Personalized plans, regular check-ins, and an open dialogue about goals, side effects, and long-term maintenance will support the best, safest results.Thanks for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

The conversation covered topics such as the evolving demands of the LGBTQ+ movement, challenges faced by transgender individuals in various settings, and the controversy surrounding medical treatments for gender dysphoria in minors.Transgender Rights vs. Women's Rights DebateNick talks to Robert, Professor of human rights law at King's College London, about transgender rights and women's rights. They discuss the controversy surrounding transgender issues in liberal media and academia, with Andrew noting that many people are afraid to speak out on the topic. Robert, author of Transgender Rights V. Women's Rights, provides a legal perspective on the debate, highlighting decisions against trans campaigners and the Supreme Court's ruling that trans women are not women for legal purposes.Transgender Rights and Societal TensionsRobert and Nick discuss the evolving demands of the LGBTQ+ movement, particularly focusing on the differences between LGBTQ+ and transgender rights. Robert highlights how transgender demands have shifted from seeking equal rights to requesting exemptions and changes to legal and medical systems, which he views as problematic.Transgender Rights and Social ImplicationsRobert and Nick also talk about the implications of removing sex from birth certificates and the challenges faced by transgender individuals, particularly in areas such as prisons, sports, and equal pay. Robert emphasised that while the number of transgender individuals may be small, the effects on women in specific situations can be distressing, and he highlights a case where a transgender athlete's participation raised fairness concerns.Gender Dysphoria Treatment BansRobert and Nick also tackle the controversial issue of medical treatment for gender dysphoria in minors, particularly focusing on the recent bans in Brazil and Argentina. They expressed concern about the lack of evidence supporting the effectiveness and safety of treatments like puberty blockers for young people, noting that many individuals eventually change their minds about their gender identity.Transgender Rights and Political RealitiesRobert argues that transgender rights activists need to align with political reality to avoid electing reactionary leaders like Donald Trump. He proposes a "tough love" approach for coexistence, which includes two concessions: transgender individuals should stop expecting others to validate their gender identity, and society should ensure no discrimination against individuals based on their appearance.Read all about it!Professor Wintermute is a lawyer, a trustee of @AllianceLGB and an author and co-author of books on same sex partnerships and sexual orientation and human rights.

Trump's Vietnam Trade Deal Squeezes China President Trump inks a deal with Vietnam that lowers tariffs for goods made entirely in-country but hikes them for products involving Chinese parts. The strategy, already seen in UK trade talks, aims to boost U.S. exports while isolating China from global supply chains.

Ever since Franz Anton Mesmer induced trance-like states in his Parisian subjects in the late eighteenth century, dressed in long purple robes, hypnosis has been associated with performance, power and the occult.  It has exerted a powerful hold over the cultural imagination, featuring in novels and films including Bram Stoker's Dracula and George du Maurier's Trilby - and it was even practiced by Charles Dickens himself.But despite some debate within the medical establishment about the scientific validity of hypnosis, it continues to be used today as a successful treatment for physical and psychological conditions. Scientists are also using hypnosis to learn more about the power of suggestion and belief.

Καλεσμένος ο κ. Μάνος Καραγιάννης, καθηγητής Διεθνών Σχέσεων στο Πανεπιστήμιο Μακεδονίας και Reader στο International Security στο King's College London στο Λονδίνο. Στις 13 Ιουνίου, το Ισραήλ ξεκίνησε τις αεροπορικές επιδρομές στο Ιράν, με στόχους πυρηνικές και στρατιωτικές εγκαταστάσεις. Το Ιράν απάντησε άμεσα με πυραυλικές επιθέσεις σε πολλές πόλεις του Ισραήλ. Οι επιθέσεις μεταξύ των δύο χωρών κράτησαν για 12 ημέρες, με αποκορύφωμα την μεγάλη βομβιστική επίθεση των ΗΠΑ στα τρία πυρηνικά εργοστάσια του Ιράν. Το πρωί όμως της Τρίτης, 24 Ιουνίου, ο Αμερικανός πρόεδρος Ντόναλντ Τραμπ ανακοίνωσε μέσω της πλατφόρμας «Truth Social», ότι Ισραήλ και Ιράν συμφώνησαν για κατάπαυση του πυρός.Με αφορμή τις τελευταίες εξελίξεις στη Μέση Ανατολή, μιλάμε με τον κ.

We live in a world that talks over people instead of listening to them. Debate has replaced understanding. Volume gets rewarded over vulnerability. And somehow, we've confused interrupting with intelligence. In this episode, we're flipping the script. Because deep listening—the kind that transforms relationships, diffuses conflict, and actually builds connection—isn't soft. It's a power skill. A leadership skill. A humanity-saving skill. And there's no one better to guide us through the how than today's guest… Our guide today is Emily Kasriel, award-winning journalist, former BBC executive, and creator of the Deep Listening approach. With two decades of media experience, a role as Senior Visiting Research Fellow at King's College London, and a new book (Deep Listening: Transform Your Relationships with Family, Friends and Foes), Emily is here to show us how to stop talking... and actually hear each other. Listening—truly listening—isn't passive. It's active, intentional, and strong as hell. And in a culture that values being loud over being present, choosing to listen might just be the most rebellious, relationship-healing thing we can do.

I find there are few things as intoxicating as someone who is really interested in you. You feel they care about you, they value you, and they are curious to hear about you. This is something you can define and do, if you understand the key components. So I have an expert on listening with us. But before I introduce them, one issue that stuck out to me was, the idea of becoming and being an expert listener, is to connect. But, I don't want to connect with everyone. My goal is not to have everyone think I'm a great listener, because I don't want to connect with everyone. I don't think anyone does. I realize when I am trying to listen with endurance and tolerance when I don't really want to, I'm actually hurting the relationship. You can hear more on this in the show. My expert guest is Emily Kasriel Emily is an award-winning journalist, editor, and media executive who worked for over 20 years at the BBC. She developed the Deep Listening approach during her time as a Senior Visiting Research Fellow at King's College London's Policy Institute, building on her expertise as an accredited executive coach and workplace mediator. Emily connected with me from her home in London and I feel we had a very real and sober discussion not only about how to be an expert listener, but to be authentic about when we want to listen, or not.

We explore how skin truly ages, what happens beneath the surface, and why some popular treatments don't do what they claim. John dismantles three of the biggest myths in skincare, including the truth about SPF, collagen, and “bio-active” ingredients that never make it past the top layer of your skin. Professor McGrath is a Professor of Molecular Dermatology at King's College London and editor of the British Journal of Dermatology. His research has transformed how we understand genetic skin disorders and vitamin D's role in skin health. This conversation is packed with surprising insights - and one daily step that really does support healthier skin as you age.
