//The Wire//2300Z May 27, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: UKRAINE WAR RHETORIC INTENSIFIES. STATEMENTS CONTINUE FOLLOWING WEEKEND RIOT IN SEATTLE. DETAILS EMERGE REGARDING LAST WEEK'S VANDALISM IN TEXAS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Rhetoric concerning the war in Ukraine continues to escalate, as both President Trump and the Kremlin trade insults and less-than-friendly messaging. In response to the latest Russian drone strikes in Ukraine, President Trump stated that Putin was "playing with fire" regarding these developments. In response to this, former Russian Prime Minister (and current Deputy Chair of Russia's Security Council) Dmitry Medvedev stated that the "bad thing" that President Trump alluded to is WW3.AC: This is a classic Medvedev statement; invoking threats of WW3 is a fairly standard Tuesday for Dima, as Medvedev (echoing his former role as Prime Minister) often serves as the more informal conveyor of what Putin is thinking. To the casual observer it may not seem like it, but the situation is not openly hostile yet. However, the diplomacy being conducted between the United States and Russia is heating up nonetheless.-HomeFront-Pennsylvania: Overnight, a small arms engagement was reported at Lemon Hill Park in Philadelphia. 2x were killed, and 9x others were wounded. 1x person was also struck by a vehicle during the fray caused by the shooting. Local authorities state that three separate shooters have been counted as partaking in the incident, based on the shell casings found at the scene.AC: Very few details have been released regarding the cause of the shooting, or why a large group of people was gathered in this park late at night. At first glance this appears to be a gang shooting and/or the result of a domestic dispute, though more details are needed.Texas: More details have come to light following acts of vandalism that were reported throughout Austin last week. Three separate facilities were defaced with graffiti on May 21st, and yesterday it became known that all three facilities were linked to various Islamic institutions in the area. One was a Mosque and the other two sites were cultural centers. A vigil has been scheduled for May 29th in response to the acts of vandalism, and the Austin Police Department has announced a rigorous increase in patrols, along with undercover operations to prevent further vandalism.Washington: A small riot broke out over the weekend in Seattle as a concert and prayer vigil was held in Cal Anderson Park. The event, which largely involved various performances by Christian musical groups and various prayer vigils, was hosted by Pursuit Northwest, a local Christian organization. The event (which was permitted and approved by the government), became host to violence as ANTIFA activists arrived and began assaulting the police officers guarding the perimeter of the event. 27x rioters were arrested for assaulting police at the event. None of the event participants were arrested; 100% of the violence took place between ANTIFA activists and police. However, all of the rioters who assaulted police were immediately released by a local judge on Monday.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Though it may be surprising to some, the events over the weekend in Seattle are not out of the ordinary, and merely reflect the regional norm when it comes to those who practice the Christian faith in the region. Any type of display of Christianity in Seattle is usually met with violence, so the outcome being violence conducted on those attending the event was to be expected. In this case, extreme violence was very much going to be the result from the very start...holding a prayer vigil in a park named after the first openly gay Congressman in Washington was very much going to result in a kinetic response by locals.However, one important detail that ha

Bec Blurton is on the show today. A Noonga woman who has built a substantive career at the intersection of First Nations rights, climate action, justice, gender, policy and finance. Speaking with Bec was a pleasure and offered me many lessons. Understanding the experiences and perspectives of those who come from different backgrounds and circumstances, but where I find commonality in experience and belief is always powerful for me. I was humbled several times in this chat with Bec being reminded of my own inherent privilege, and despite the efforts I go to and versions of challenges I face, I'm fortunate to not face structural or situational vulnerabilities like many others who aspire to versions of safe, just and beautiful future just like I do. Bec reminded me again and in new ways that with my privileges comes duties to be of service and to be a proactive proponent for equity in our society.Bec is a powerful advocate for justice for First Nations communities and peoples, taking her extraordinary work ethic and directing it towards activating and building collectives and communities that find their voice, connect more powerfully to their identity and seek new modes and methods for justice and dignity. She is a Conceptual Foundations Working Group member of the The Taskforce on Inequality and Social-related Financial Disclosures , Deputy Chair of the Australian Sustainable Finance Institute's Advisory Committee, she's worked in large corporates and government, and is now the Managing Director of First Nations Affairs, is a Member of the Ballardong Aboriginal Corporation and is the founder of another climate collective.This conversation covers a lot of terrain - origins and identity, finding ways to do work without end and the necessity of seeking professional help and being involved with communities of solidarity, the lengths still needed to truly address First Nations inequalities, the green shoots arising in many parts of our society and economy demanding better futures, and the challenges and honest reflections of where being an agent of change is more likely and possible.We cover a lot of territory, and felt like a conversation with an old friend for me. I took plenty of learnings and looking forward to being more involved with Bec's work in the future. If you are too, Bec is easily findable online - head to firstnationsaffairs.com and search for another climate collective. Her work is vital, differentiated and shining a very bright light on how power and history combine to obfuscate reality and what's truly needed for more equitable and just futures.In the May edition of the Finding Nature substack, I'm exploring perfect imperfection. Maria Montessori said this, which I think represent Bec's actions for justice and equity “Every great cause is born from repeated failures and from imperfect achievements.”Til next time, thanks for listening.Events are live and more are coming - follow on Humanitix.Follow on LinkedIn, Substack and Instagram. Today's show is delivered with Altiorem.

The free school lunch program has been in the headlines here in Aotearoa for several weeks after facing significant impacts to their quality and delivery following a complete restructure of the program led by associate education minister David Seymour. Many schools have reported late deliveries of meals beyond the lunch period, plastic packaging melting into the food and one student even experiencing burns from the packaging that required medical attention. This, of course, has the greatest impact on the more than 150,000 Tamariki living in severe poverty, who relied on programs like Ka Ora Ka Ako to receive daily meals. In response, the Child poverty action group has made a call to senior government ministers and Finance Minister Nicola Willis to restore the funding that was cut from the school lunches program so that schools across the motu could receive meals from local community suppliers. Oto spoke to Rich Greissman - Deputy Chair of the Child Poverty Action Group's Governing Committee, to discuss the group's call and why it's important for the government to ensure the provision of healthy school lunches to Tamariki.

It's been a while since I last published a podcast episode on @bloomincrisis. As I realized that time spent editing videos was taking away from my writing and other practices, I decided to shift my focus despite having a long backlog of recordings I've yet to revisit. However, after observing many students struggle with effective networking (most recently while hiring for our internship position), I felt compelled to edit and share this throwback episode that I recorded with students at Fordham University more than a year ago.In this episode, you'll learn:❌ The biggest turn-off when it comes to networking❌ Why you might not have found success in networking yet ✅ How reframing networking in your mind can help you build meaningful relationships ✅ Creative ways to leave a lasting positive impression on potential employers or hiring managers—plus real-life examples! If this resonates with you and you'd like to dive deeper, I'll be back at Fordham this Wednesday, March 5th, for another speaking event. Hope to see you there. Good luck!

In today's Episode we are getting to grips with all the key questions surrounding the hugely important issue of exposure management and modelling in our sector. Models are a core part of our business, but as we have come to rely more and more heavily on their output, many fundamental questions arise. For instance, how much of a worry should it be that the market is dominated by two very large players? Or do enough C-suite executives really understand how models work or know the right questions to ask of their exposure management teams? And are we any closer to finding efficient cross-industry ways of making sure that the exposure data upon which our modelling is based is accurate and easily transferable in digital form? To assist me in this task are three people with vast experience in attacking these questions from all angles. Emma Watkins is Head of Exposure Management & Aggregation at Lloyd's and as such has oversight of one of the largest combined books of business anywhere in the world. Rupert Atkin is an underwriting veteran who has had a long and illustrious career. The Former CEO of Lloyd's Underwriter Talbot is also a former Deputy Chair of Lloyd's and Chair of the Lloyd's Market Association. Rupert currently serves on multiple boards, including as Chairman of Lloyd's businesses Ark Managing Agency and Carbon Underwriting as well as a Director at brokers AmWins Group and Alwen Hough Johnson. Finally Dickie Whitaker is the founder and CEO of the not-for-profit open source modelling platform, the Oasis Loss Modelling Framework. Dickie can trace his long career back to the foundation of cat modelling firm Eqecat and also spent over a decade in senior roles at reinsurance broker Guy Carpenter. Most recently he founded the open peer-reviewed Journal of Catastrophe Risk and Resilience. It's clear our panel is well qualified for the job, but what I enjoyed most about this gathering was the ease and good humour with which my guests took on the subjects in hand. This could have been a dry and academic affair, but it was absolutely nothing like that. The conversation is lively and positively buzzes with energy. NOTES: Oasis LMF has produced a fascinating report Navigating the Storm that makes a great accompaniment to this podcast. Download it Here

This episode features a fireside chat session from Artemis' ILS Asia 2024 conference, which was held in Singapore on July 11th.

This fireside chat featured three senior reinsurance leaders from the region, all executives and/or members of the Singapore Reinsurers' Association  (SRA). Joining moderator Steve Evans were: Marc Haushofer, Chair, Singapore Reinsurers' Association (SRA); Kenrick Law, Deputy Chair, SRA. Regional CEO, Allianz Re; Victor Kuk, EXCO Member, SRA. CEO, Swiss Re Asia. The group discussed the Asian reinsurance market status and outlook, also sharing their views on Singapore's continued development as a key market hub for the region. In addition, the group spoke about their views on the use of third-party and alternative capital, as well as the important contribution that reinsurance and ILS together can make on the protection gap. Listen to the full episode for more insights from these senior executives into the Asian reinsurance market and the potential for insurance-linked securities (ILS) in the region.

Since the collapse of the USSR and Georgia's independence in 1991, anti-soviet memory politics have played an intractable role in Georgian politics. On the one hand, they are a rhetorical allegory without limits - nearly anything and everything negative can be associated with the soviet past. Yet on the other hand, they also played a crucial role in nation building, becoming especially institutionalized after the 2003 Rose Revolution. In the lead up to the parliamentary elections on October 26th 2024, politicians still make regular reference to the USSR. But where do anti-soviet memory politics in Georgia come from? Why do they persist? How exactly are they reproduced? And for what? Is the USSR simply a metaphor for Russia? Or a means to demonize socialism and reinforce market orthodoxy? Or both? To discuss all this and more, we sat down with frequent co-host and guest, Beka Natsvlishvili. Beka Natsvlishvili is a director of the Institute for a Fair Economy. He is also the Georgian team lead for a platform economy research project in collaboration with the University of Oxford. His teaching experience includes lectures on political economy, globalization, and political sociology at the Georgian-American University, and previous engagements at Caucasus University and the University of Georgia. Beka previously served as a Member of Parliament and Deputy Chair of the Committee for European Integration, and as a Member of the Tbilisi Municipal Council, where he chaired the land legalization commission. With over two decades of academic and professional experience, he holds a Master of Arts (Magister Artium) from Wilhelm University of Münster and has extensive expertise in political economy, trade unions, and social research.
