Norm Eisen is back with us today to unpack the Ergonon ruling and what it means for Donald Trump. If you happen to be tuning in for the first time, Eisen is a CNN Legal Analyst and the founder and executive chair of “States United Democracy Center”, a nonpartisan organization advancing free, fair, and secure elections. His articles for the Brookings Institute and elsewhere have made the case for why Trump and his band of criminal conspiracists represented a clear and present danger to democracy. The former Obama Ethics Czar and Ambassador to the Czech Republic joins us today to get to the heart of what's going on.

What do you do when a brilliant, Oxford- or Cambridge-educated graduate walks into your office, chronically late, completely uncommitted to the business, but undeniably sharp? If you're Mike Harle, you don't fire them—you tell them to follow their heart and join the circus. This week, we sit down for an exclusive, world-first public interview with Mike Harle, the former UK Chief Marketing Officer of Shell. In a legendary two-minute conversation around the year 2000, Mike looked past the corporate KPI metrics of a young, nervous junior executive named Jimmy Carr and gave him the ultimate piece of career advice: Do give up your day job. In this episode, Mike shares the fascinating backstory behind one of comedy's most famous career pivots, why he turned down an exclusive UK deal with a struggling new startup called Red Bull, and what it truly means to manage potential over performance.

In this episode, The World Cup continues to deliver absolute scenes and, somehow, the chaos levels are only increasing.Matchday 2 gave us statement wins, controversial talking points, superstar performances, heartbreak, meltdowns, and enough social media discourse to power the internet for the next decade. The knockout stage is looming, calculators are being dusted off, and entire nations are now relying on results from teams they've spent years mocking.In this episode we unpack everything from another massive Australian performance against the USA, the teams exceeding expectations, the teams that have been stealing a living, and whether a certain little Argentine magician has finally ended the greatest debate football has ever known.Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappé continues his quest to become football's benevolent dictator, the Golden Boot race is heating up, and we stumble across one of the most astonishingly stupid questions ever asked on live radio. Seriously. We're not overselling it. It might actually lower your IQ.But we're not stopping there.Matchday 3 is here, which means the spreadsheets are out, the calculators are overheating, and millions of fans have suddenly become experts in goal difference, goals scored, head-to-head records and obscure FIFA tiebreakers they didn't know existed three days ago.We break down every single group, who's through, who's hanging on by a thread, who's already cooked, and exactly what each nation needs to do to reach the Round of 32.The group stage is reaching its final act.Some nations are 90 minutes away from immortality. Others are 90 minutes away from becoming the punchline of the entire tournament.Expect chaos. Expect heartbreak. Expect calculators. Expect conspiracy theories about goal difference.This is where World Cups stop making sense and start becoming legendary.

 EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with André Dragosch, European Head of Research at Bitwise Investments, live at Bitcoin Prague in the Czech Republic. Bitwise manages over $11 billion in AUM and Andre breaks down exactly why institutional investors are quietly rotating capital out of AI stocks and into crypto assets right now. We dig into why Bitcoin behaves more like a CDS on sovereign bonds than an equity hedge, how ETPs solve the custody headache for family offices and pension funds, and why the K-shaped economy in the US is actually one of the most bullish setups Bitcoin has ever seen. Andre also shares where Bitwise is expanding next, including staking on Ethereum and Solana and curated vault strategies. This is one of the most grounded, data-driven macro conversations I have had on the show and I think you will get a lot out of it.

Qatar's World Cup campaign suffered a heavy blow overnight, losing 6-0 to Canada in Vancouver after two red cards left them chasing the match. The result was overshadowed by a serious injury to Canada's Ismael Kone, who left on a stretcher in the 51st minute after a challenge from Assim Madibo. Kone gave the crowd a thumbs up before leaving the pitch. Jonathan David scored a hat-trick and Qatar now face Bosnia and Herzegovina needing a big response to stay in the tournament. Mexico became the first team to reach the knockout stage, beating South Korea 1-0 in Guadalajara to win Group A with two wins and two clean sheets. Switzerland defeated Bosnia 4-1 after being frustrated for more than an hour, while Czech Republic and South Africa drew 1-1. Lionel Messi's family confirmed his father Jorge is receiving medical treatment for an unspecified health issue. Messi had been emotional after his hat-trick against Algeria, saying he had faced difficulties unrelated to football. Morocco face Scotland at 2am tomorrow in Boston in what could be the Arab world's most significant match of the weekend. A win would put Morocco in a strong position to reach the knockouts. The US face Australia at 11pm tonight and Brazil face Haiti at 4.30am tomorrow after an opening draw with Morocco. Mina Rzouki presents Trending Middle East's World Cup round-up, a daily bonus series from The National for the duration of the tournament.

Cordiant Digital Infrastructure (LSE:CORD) chairman Steven Marshall and CFO Andrew Ewe joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to discuss annual results, portfolio performance and growth opportunities. The company delivered a 16.3% total NAV return, with NAV per share rising to 146p. Revenue grew 9.9% and EBITDA by 7.8%, supporting a further dividend increase. Since IPO, Cordiant has deployed £795 million into digital infrastructure assets, generating a 14% annualised NAV total return over five years. The company's recent inclusion in the FTSE 250 is expected to broaden its investor base. Marshall highlighted data centre growth at Czech Republic-based CRA, where the Prague Gateway facility could scale from 26MW to 100MW. "The demand for our assets continually grows," he said, "which gives the wind at our backs in terms of growing revenues, EBITDA and cash flows." The pair also covered the integration of BT Ireland's fibre assets into Speed Fibre, expansion of Emitel's mobile tower portfolio, and opportunities in 5G broadcasting, emergency warning systems and smart city infrastructure.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a rapidly evolving landscape marked by significant scientific breakthroughs, regulatory shifts, and strategic business maneuvers. The pharmaceutical and biotech sectors are buzzing with renewed vigor, as evidenced by an impressive resurgence in mergers and acquisitions. A recent analysis by PwC reports that M&A activity has reached over $65 billion in deal value during the first quarter of 2026, marking the strongest quarter since 2020. This uptick underscores a robust confidence within the industry, with companies strategically leveraging these mergers to bolster their pipelines and explore new therapeutic territories. Eli Lilly's acquisition of non-opioid pain drugmaker 4E is a case in point, as it reflects a broader industry shift towards precision medicine and non-opioid pain management solutions—a response to growing concerns over opioid addiction. On the regulatory front, notable developments include Colorado's drug import plan receiving FDA approval. This marks a bold step in curbing drug costs across the U.S., although implementation challenges remain due to complex logistical and regulatory landscapes. Meanwhile, Novo Nordisk is expanding its global manufacturing footprint with a new plant in the Czech Republic for diabetes and obesity drugs, alongside a $29 million investment to upgrade its Chinese facility. This expansion aligns with Novo's strategic preparation to seek Chinese regulatory approval for its Wegovy pill, potentially transforming the obesity treatment landscape. In a move that could reshape vaccine development, Moderna is advancing its mRNA-based influenza vaccine candidate through regulatory channels. The FDA's favorable reviews ahead of an advisory committee meeting highlight the growing acceptance of mRNA technology beyond COVID-19 vaccines. This technology holds promise for transforming vaccine development across various infectious diseases. Precision oncology continues to grapple with translating scientific discoveries into practical applications that genuinely improve patient outcomes. The ASCO 2026 conference emphasized this critical transition from discovery to implementation as essential for advancing precision medicine. Turning to gene therapy, UniQure is preparing for a significant milestone—submitting an accelerated Biologics License Application for its Huntington's disease therapy. This follows a reversal by the FDA, which now considers UniQure's Phase 1/2 trial data sufficient for submission. Should this therapy gain approval, it would be groundbreaking as the first genetic medicine for Huntington's disease, setting a precedent for future gene therapies targeting other genetic disorders. In another strategic partnership, Jazz Pharmaceuticals has teamed up with AbCellera to develop T-cell-engaging antibodies for oncology indications, illustrating the potential financial rewards associated with innovative cancer therapies. This collaboration could yield up to $820 million per program and highlights how partnerships are crucial in expediting drug development timelines. These stories reflect broader industry trends emphasizing innovation and strategic partnerships while navigating complex regulatory landscapes. The focus on precision medicine and advanced biologics continues to drive scientific advancements, with companies like Vedana Therapeutics targeting unmet needs in neurology through novel therapeutic approaches. Meanwhile, international collaboration is gaining traction in regulatory processes. The newly launched transatlantic liaison program between the FDA and MHRA aims to accelerate drug approvals and foster innovation across borders—an initiative that underscores the importance of collaborative frameworks. However, not all news is optimistic. Be Biopharma's decision to terminate its hemophilia B cell therapy trial highlights the challenges companies face in competitive therapeutic areas. Despite previous optimism, similar withdrawals by Pfizer and BioMarin indicate the necessity for robust clinical data and clear market differentiation strategies. Furthermore, Merck's recent agreement with Protillion Technologies marks an increased focus on integrating artificial intelligence into drug discovery processes—a trend promising accelerated timelines and improved trial success rates. As these developments unfold, it's evident that the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors are at an intersection where scientific innovation meets strategic business decisions. The potential approval of UniQure's gene therapy could catalyze further advancements in genetic medicine—while M&A activities suggest an industry poised for transformative growth. For stakeholders—from researchers to executives—the ability to adapt to these dynamic changes will be crucial in shaping the future of drug development and patient care. In conclusion, these stories collectively paint a picture of an industry evolving through scientific breakthroughs while adapting through strategic business decisions. As new technologies integrate into this space alongside regulatory advancements in gene therapy, this period of transformation holds promising implications for addressing unmet medical needs and enhancing therapeutic outcomes globally.Support the show

In this episode, The World Cup is properly alive now and it's already descended into complete madness.First up, we relive Australia's famous 2-0 win over Turkey. After all the noise before the game, and somehow even more noise after losing, the Turks have kept the content flowing. Next up: the USA. Same script? Same result? We bloody hope so.Elsewhere, the tournament has delivered everything. Upsets, heartbreaks, goalkeeping performances that should be investigated by FIFA, last-minute equalisers, surprise packets, and enough draws to send tipsters and punters into a full-blown identity crisis.We dive headfirst into Matchday 2, breaking down every key clash, who's under pressure, who's one bad result away from national panic, and which teams can take a giant step towards the knockout rounds.There's plenty of punting chat, questionable logic, bold calls that will almost certainly come back to haunt us, wild tangents, overreactions, and several moments where the conversation completely leaves the World Cup and refuses to return.So grab a beer, rip up your predictions, and prepare for more chaos. Matchday 1 was just the opening act.The World Cup has officially lost the plot, and we're absolutely here for it.Stay up to date by following us on Instagram @Coastalsportspod(0:00) Intro(1:32) 4 Draws In One Day, What's Doing?

A Belgian Malinois from the Czech Republic walks into a school and somehow manages to be both a laser-focused narcotics detection dog and the sweetest, most approachable face of school safety. That's K9 Aramis, and we're joined by his handler, Officer Matt Mills, to explain how a K9 team actually fits into day-to-day life inside Cape Coral schools.We talk through what Aramis is trained to find, why THC vapes have become a real issue on campuses, and how targeted backpack or bag sniffs can support administrators when they ask for help. Officer Mills also shares why temperament matters so much for a school-based K9: a dog has to be safe for student interactions, but ready to switch into work mode instantly. Along the way, we get a look at the broader mission of community policing, including K9 demos at youth centers, PAL programs, camps, and community groups that help kids see officers as people they can trust.Summer brings a different rhythm, not a break. We cover how SROs still support summer school and camps, why training ramps up when school is out, and what law enforcement watches for when juveniles have more idle time. Officer Mills explains the prevention side too: working with juvenile probation, monitoring at-risk kids, and pushing for outcomes that get them off probation and back on track.If you've ever wondered what a K9 handler's life looks like after the shift ends, Officer Mills gets real about it: the training never stops, the dog comes home, vacations take planning, and the responsibility is closer to raising a kid than having a “work partner.” 

South Korea's World Cup campaign is off to a winning start.

The 2026 Fifa World Cup opened with a result, record and refereeing performance nobody will forget quickly. Mexico beat South Africa 2-0 at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, with Julian Quinones opening the scoring after just nine minutes before Raul Jimenez headed home a second in the 67th minute. The match will be remembered as much for what happened off the ball as on it. Brazilian referee Wilton Sampaio showed three red cards across the 90 minutes, a record for a World Cup opening match and a number that puts 2026 in remarkable statistical company after just one game. Elsewhere in Group A, South Korea beat the Czech Republic 2-1 in Guadalajara, joining Mexico on three points. The two sides now meet in what is already shaping up as the group's defining fixture. For Arab fans, the tournament begins in earnest this weekend. Qatar face Switzerland on Saturday at 11pm UAE time, before Morocco take on Brazil at 2am on Sunday, a rematch loaded with expectation on both sides after Morocco's remarkable run to the semi-finals in Qatar four years ago.

Summer ministry is underway across the 16 countries where Josiah Venture serves, and this episode introduces several of the 2026 summer interns (Rachel Langley-Slovenia, Vince Johnson-Czech Republic, Aaron Connors-Ukraine, Anya Mediakovska-Ukraine, Isaiah Jackson-Latvia, Ryan Kepler-Estonia, Talitha Bowman-Ukraine, & Masha Horova-Ukraine), who are stepping into a season of service across Central and Eastern Europe. Hosted by Julia Budd, this episode features conversations with interns serving in Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Latvia, and Estonia. They share how God led them to Josiah Venture, what they learned through the Amazing Race and Intern Training, and what they are hoping God will do in and through them this summer. From returning interns continuing relationships with students, to Ukrainian interns serving their home country in the midst of war, to young adults discerning long-term missions, each story points to a shared desire: to make Christ known and serve the local church. We invite you to pray for all the interns as they begin summer ministry — for bold gospel conversations, unity in teams, strength for Ukrainian leaders, wisdom in cross-cultural ministry, physical endurance, spiritual rest, and students across Central and Eastern Europe to take steps toward Jesus. Specific prayer requests for each intern can be found in our Online Prayer Room, linked below.

The Supreme Court ruling banning race-based affirmative action is almost three years old, and almost nothing has played out as expected. Black and Hispanic enrollment dropped at the country's most elite universities, but rose at the vast majority of colleges across the US. And in a twist nobody planned for, the end of race-based admissions may have quietly accelerated the rise of class-based affirmative action.  Plus, scientists have discovered what may be one of the world's largest deep-sea coral reefs off the coast of Argentina, an ecosystem that is home to 40 species new to science. A golf ball-sized, bright blue octopus near the Galapagos Islands has just been confirmed as a brand new species. NASA has unveiled its renderings for a permanent moon base, with three missions targeting launch before the end of 2026. Additionally, researchers in the Czech Republic are racing to climate-proof the Saaz hop, the backbone of Czech pilsner, before droughts and heatwaves do the unthinkable.

Send us Fan MailThis is Understanding Israel Palestine. I'm Margot Patterson, the producer of this week's episode. 'll be talking to Robert Malley again, Mideast peace negotiator and author of the recent book Tomorrow is Yesterday: Life, Death and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine after news briefs.A yearlong Al Jazeera investigation found that as many as 51 countries armed Israel during its war on Gaza — including many that publicly condemned Israel, announced embargoes on weapons sales to the country, and demanded a ceasefire.These weapon transfers took place after the International Court of Justice warned on Jan. 26, 2024 that there was a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza and reminded states of of their obligations to act to prevent genocide under the Geneva Convention. All of the 51 states arming Israel were signatory to the convention, yet arms shipments to Israel actually increased after the warning. The Al Jazeera report was based primarily on an analysis of Israeli Tax Authority import data between 2022 and 2025. The 5 largest suppliers of military goods to Israel were the United States, India, Romania, Taiwan and the Czech Republic.A French activist shared on  live TV  what she experienced in Israeli detention after Israeli forces abducted members of the Global Summed Flottilla seeking to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza. The 428 activists on 54 boats were intercepted May 19th in international waters  and taken  to Israel where their mistreatment in Israeli custody stirred international outcry after National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir posted a video showing him taunting blindfolded, bound activists. On French TVMay 23, Merriam Hadjal said she was slapped, beaten, kneed in the ribs and repeatedly groped and sexually assaulted by multiple Israeli soldiers. Hadjal is one of numerous flotilla activists who have  come forward alleging sexual violence in Israeli custody, including claims of sexual assault and rape by Israeli soldiers. Flotilla organizers say at least 15 of the detained activists reported sexual assault.Israel conducted more than 120 air strikes on southern and eastern Lebanon on May 26, after IPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will escalete  its  war on the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.The  entire city of Tyre, and at least 10  southern villages in Lebanon have been ordered to evacuate. The expanding war violates  a nominal April 16 ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel and threatens to complicate negotiations between Iran and the U.S. IIran has said any agreement to end the war should end hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon. Since March 2,  at least 32oo  have been killed in Lebanon and 9700 wounded. More than 1 million people in Lebanonhave been displaced.My guest today is Robert Malley,  a Middle East expert and specialist in conflict negotiation.. He served as Special Assistant to President Clinton for Arab-Israeli affairs from 1998-2001 and was among the peace negotiators at the Camp David Summit of 2000. He was a member of the National Security Council during the the Obama administration and  was lead negotiator of the Iran nuclear deal. He was President Biden's envoy to Iran and is now at Yale University's Jackson School of Global Affairs. His book,  Tomorrow is Yesterday: Life, Death and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine, was co-authored with Hussein Agha and looks at how the Oslo Accords deteriorated into an endless peace process that became a joke and then a fraud. This is the second of a two-part conversation. The first part aired May 15. You can find it on our program page on the KKFI website at www. kkfi.org or listen to it on our podcast available on most streaming platforms. Robert Malley, thanks for coming on the program again. When we spoke earlier, you talked about how the two-state solution has always been more popular with the international community than with either Israelis or Palestinians. That made it a heavy lift from the get-go. Not impossible, but difficult.In your book, you paint a very honest, nuanced picture of Yasser Arafat, who succeeded in convincing Palestinians that a Palestinian state on 22% of historic Palestine was not a betrayal of their rights and aspirations but a worthy goal. Could you talk more about Arafat and how the very traits that enabled him to unify and lead the Palestinian people made him suspect in Israeli and American eyes? Malley: It's a great question because he is the target of such contradictory perceptions and images in the West. The fact that he never left his military garb, that he, sometimes insisted on carrying a gun, spoke in very militant terms, particularly when he spoke to his own audience, particularly when he spoke in Arabic. All of that convinced many Americans, and certainly a majority of Israelis, that he was somebody with whom ultimately a peace couldn't be made because he could never give up on the aspirations of being a fighter, a militant in their eyes, often a terrorist. Now, Palestinian eyes, those are the traits that made it possible for him to sell some compromises which otherwise would have been even more difficult to swallow. You just mentioned the principal one, which is that even though the fight that the Palestinians have waged from, 1948 onwards was not a fight for a state on 22% of historic Palestine, it was a fight for liberation of all the land. It was a fight for the return of the refugees. And so his efforts, which were to make the Palestinians view that compromise not as a defeat but as a triumph, not as surrender but as conquest, was in part due to the fact that he retained, in their eyes, precisely the image that the West and Israel found repugnant, which is the image of somebody who would not drop his gun, who would not trade in his military garb for a diplomatic outfit, who would not only speak in the diplomatic language, but in the language of a rebel, of a militant, of a revolutionary. In some ways, what made it possible for him to sell the compromise to his own people made it very difficult and sometimes impossible for other audiences, Israeli or Western, to believe a word he said. Q.: You note that Americans were very deferential to the political constraints facing different Israeli leaders, but ignored those affecting Palestinian leaders. That was true for Arafat, but also for Mahmoud Abbas, Arafat's successor and the man who has led the Palestinian Authority for umpteen years now. Abbas believed that nonviolence was the only way forward for the Palestinian cause and has lived that credo, but his efforts to advance statehood have gone nowhere. How did the United States unwittingly sabotage him? How do you think they failed him, and why haven't his efforts been able to go anyplace?Malley:  A word on your first point. The U.S. identifies much more closely with Israel; they are more familiar with its political system. We could debate how much a democracy it is, since today the majority of the people living under Israeli governance, half of the people, don't have the same rights as others and a large percentage, the Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza, have no political rights at all when it comes to Israel's political system. So you could debate how democratic Israel, is, but certainly from an American perspective, it's a system that runs through parliamentary elections an election system that we can understand with regular polling and regular elections. The Palestinian system is a very different one, and I think in the eyes of many Americans, and this doesn't just apply to the Palestinians, it applies to many other countries, and particularly many Arab countries, they view it as more of a one-man show, in the past, the one-man show of Arafat, then the one-man show of Abbas, in which they believe that even though sometimes there are the accoutrements of democracy, the elections don't mean all that much. The system can be run in a more autocratic way by the supreme leader, in this case the head of the PLO, Palestine Liberation Organization, head of Fatah, the main party, the head of the Palestinian Authority. They believe that Palestinian politics don't matter, that ultimately because they project this image of a system that is run by a single person or by a small group of people, that they can impose whatever they want on their own population. Public opinion doesn't really matter. You hear that when people speak about Saudi Arabia, when they speak about Egypt, when they speak about many of these countries that either are not democratic or don't have a form of democracy that the U.S .is accustomed to. Whereas in fact, it doesn't work that way at all. Precisely because the Palestinian leadership doesn't have, and Arafat didn't have, those regular mechanisms in which his authority could be validated at the polls, in which you had democratic institutions that would legitimize his rule, he was very dependent on a popular form of consensus for his decision-making, and he couldn't afford to stray too far away from that core center of gravity, that consensus, because then he would have no legitimacy at all. And that's been true of one Palestinian leader after another. I think there is this misperception that because Israel is more, quote-unquote, "democratic," we need to pay attention and sometimes excessive attention. I can't tell you how many times I heard American officials for whom I was working saying, "We can't do X or Y or Z because it will imperil the coalition in power because of the democratic institutions and processes that Israel has to go through." I never heard that when it came to the Palestinians. It was, if Arafat wants it, Arafat could get it. If the next leadership would want it, it could get it. If the next leadership would

Mea Culpa welcomes back our good friend Norm Eisen. There's pretty much nothing going on in politics today that Eisen doesn't have an educated opinion about. Eisen is a CNN Legal Analyst. And the founder and executive chair of “States United Democracy Center” a nonpartisan organization advancing free, fair, and secure elections. His articles for the Brookings Institute and elsewhere have made the case for why Trump and his band of criminal conspiracists represented a clear and present danger to democracy. His latest piece for MSNBC lays out how Jack Smith can defeat Trump and put him behind bars. Eisen served as special counsel to President Barack Obama on ethics. In that role, he was dubbed “Mr. No” and the “Ethics Czar” because he's well known for his tough anti-corruption approach to governance. Having spent time in Eastern Europe as the Ambassador to the Czech Republic, Eisen cares deeply about the region and is also working with the Brookings Institute to help Ukraine recover and thrive once Putin's war has ended. But today it's all indictment talk. And Norm is ready to put the bracelets on little Donny for good. 

The practice of healthcare is inherently powerful, and our patients are vulnerable to our power. Though power can be abused, the righteous use of power, for the benefit of the vulnerable, is profoundly Christlike. We will explore the lessons of power which help us understand our roles, including the fundamental nature of professionalism and key kingdom strategies of healthcare missions.

Brian's got a shiny new commercial certificate, Ben just logged 25 hours in three days in a flying potato over Florida, and somehow nobody declared an emergency — so naturally, it's time to talk about flying like a professional even when nobody's paying you to. From sterile cockpit discipline to weight and balance on every single flight (yes, everyone), the crew runs through a practical list of habits that separate polished pilots from the yank-and-bank crowd. Plus: a listener who went from ICU nurse to CFII at 54, a fuel tank horror story that will make you check yours right now, and Mark prepares to hand a large sum of money to some people in the Czech Republic who have definitely sent him pictures of his actual airframe.

The question of origins is often difficult to study because originators do not always leave a paper trail. Therefore, uncovering origins can be challenging – and the story of the background of Yiddish-speaking Jews in Eastern Europe is no exception. It is complicated by the fact that in the recent past the Jewish population of the area was in the millions and it is not obvious where they came from. It is tempting for some to see them as having come from the Rhineland in search of safety and security but there are many reasons to be dubious about this. What is much more likely, as we shall see, is that the basis for the Yiddish-speaking Jewish population of Eastern Europe was the Jewish population of what is now the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria. They came in dribs and drabs because of economic pressures. We will examine various pieces of evidence that support this picture. While not dramatic, it was pragmatic and successful. Economic changes in the Polish-Lithuanian lands offered new opportunities to Jews and this in turn, led to conditions of rapid population growth – rapid enough to create a massive population within several centuries.
