Join Samar Shaikh and Musharaf Ahmed for Wednesday's show where we will be discussing : « Immunity » and « Libraries ». Immunity Did you know your immune system has its own “peacekeepers”? Sometimes, our body's defenses can turn against us — but regulatory T cells, or T-regs, step in to keep everything in balance. This 2025 Nobel Prize shows how understanding the body's natural “peacekeepers” can transform medicine, prevent disease, and save lives — a remarkable example of science uncovering the intricate wisdom built into our biology. Libraries From ancient scrolls to modern digital archives, libraries have always been sanctuaries of learning and discovery. They preserve the wisdom of generations and provide everyone with the opportunity to grow, reflect, and connect through knowledge. Join us as we explore how libraries empower communities, inspire curiosity, and uphold the value of lifelong learning. Guests : Professor Paul Moss (Professor of Haematology and Deputy Head of the College of Medicine and Health at the University of Birmingham.) Producers : Maryam Syed and Laiba Mubashar

Instant payments have officially entered the mainstream — but adoption is still uneven, and questions remain. How is FedNow performing more than a year after launch? What's driving momentum, what's holding institutions back, and what will it take for real-time payments to finally reach critical mass? In this episode of Banking Transformed, I'm joined by Bernadette Ksepka, Senior Vice President and Deputy Head of Product Development for the Federal Reserve's FedNow Service. We'll explore how instant payments are reshaping financial interactions, debunk some of the biggest myths surrounding FedNow, and examine how financial institutions — from community banks to major players — can leverage this infrastructure for competitive advantage. From new use cases and fraud prevention to the economics of real-time liquidity, this conversation offers a clear-eyed look at where the U.S. instant payments ecosystem stands today — and where it's heading next. If your institution hasn't yet activated “send,” this episode might just change your mind. This episode of Banking Transformed is sponsored by FedNow The FedNow Service is an instant payment infrastructure developed by the Federal Reserve that allows eligible financial institutions to provide 24x7x365 instant payment services to stay competitive and meet customer demand. The network currently has about 1,500 participating financial institutions headquartered in all 50 states. For more information visit https://explore.fednow.org/
S-Corp highlighted a recent report by economist Don Schneider quantifying the tax relief millions Americans can expect in the next year as a result of the OB3. It's a big number, so we invited Don, the Deputy Head of US policy at Piper Sandler, to explain why this could be the biggest refund season ever. Don also reviews the future of tariffs (and why they're likely here to stay even if courts weigh in) and shares his thoughts on why the government shutdown might end in early November.
Ignacio Lana, Deputy Head of Country Iberia de Carmignac, analiza y nos comenta la visión de la inversión que tiene la compañía. “Los resultados no dejan de ser un catalizador, pero hay que ver cual es el catalizador hasta ahora”, asegura el invitado. El experto añade que “nos hemos encontrado en estas últimas semanas con una economía cerrada, donde no ha habido prácticamente datos en los Estados Unidos, la geopolítica marca la tensión arancelaria entre Estados Unidos y China”. ¿Qué marcarán los mercados en las próximas semanas? El entrevistado apunta que “vamos a unas semanas movidas, porque el 65% de las empresas con mayor capitalización en Europa van a sacar resultados”: El Deputy Head of Country Iberia de Carmignac analiza el pulso del mercado, donde en las próximas semanas muchas compañías europeas van a presentar resultados. “Tendremos que estar muy atentos a los comentarios de las empresas en términos de políticas arancelarias”, comenta el invitado. También es muy importante la inteligencia artificial y la monetización para comentar el estado de las Bolsas. ¿Dónde están los mayores riesgos en Europa? El entrevistado apunta que van a venir “por las materias primas y los factores cíclicos globales, en particular en aquellas empresas donde la divisa les va a seguir penalizando”. ¿Cuál es la situación de la renta variable estadounidense? Ignacio Lana señala que en “Estados Unidos el sector tecnológico va a seguir liderando esos crecimientos de beneficios”.

A pesar de ello, el sector tecnológico siguió siendo el líder en la sesión del jueves, donde compañías como Micron o Oracle tuvieron subidas de más del 3%.

CGIAR Seminar Series | Series/Special Event The EU Deforestation Regulation: Policy Implications and Research Frontiers Co-organized by IFPRI, CGIAR, and Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) October 14, 2025 In June 2023, the European Union (EU) adopted its Regulation on Deforestation-Free Products (EUDR)—a landmark policy designed to reduce global deforestation and forest degradation driven by EU consumption. Under the regulation, key commodities with the biggest impacts on deforestation—soy, cattle, palm oil, cocoa, coffee, wood, and natural rubber—cannot be placed on the EU market or exported unless they are free of deforestation and legally produced. The EUDR was scheduled for entry into force in December 2025 and in June 2026 for small and micro enterprises, but a one-year delay was proposed by the European Commission on 23 September, due to capacity concerns with the IT system set up for due diligence reporting by businesses. Join us for this virtual event convening policymakers, development practitioners, researchers, and industry representatives to examine how the EUDR is likely to reshape trade dynamics, sustainability standards, and development priorities across the globe. As countries and companies prepare for EUDR implementation, this seminar will examine how they can seize upon opportunities and mitigate risks associated with it. Leading voices from government, research, industry, and civil society will discuss how to ensure equitable and inclusive production aligned with EUDR requirements across diverse production systems, and how to address knowledge and technology gaps to support data-driven, smallholder-friendly solutions. Moderator Welcome Remarks Charlotte Hebebrand, Director of Communications & Public Affairs, IFPRI Session 1 Rationale and Scope of the EUDR: Lisa Kirfel-Rühle, Deputy Head of Division 122 Agriculture, Rural Development, Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) Global Deforestation Trends & Outlook, and Key Considerations Arising from EUDR Implementation: Beria Leimona, Theme Leader, Climate Change, Energy and Low-Carbon Development, The Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF) International Cooperation Framework: Simon Gmeiner, Policy Officer, European Commission Session 2 Engaging on the EUDR: H.E.

One of the first recorded examples of a marriage ceremony is dated more than four thousand years ago in Mesopotamia. And it seems that through the ages, weddings have never lost their appeal. The global wedding industry is today worth billions of dollars, and it's one that keeps on growing.While aspects of weddings differ across many cultures, they celebrate the coming together of two people in a form of contract which establishes rights within the couple. Historically, marriages were often economic, legal and social tools; the love aspect that some marriage ceremonies came to represent was developed much later.Iszi Lawrence investigates how weddings have changed over time with a panel of expert guests, including Dr Vicki Howard, Visiting Fellow in the Department of History at the University of Essex (UK) and the author of Brides, Inc.: American Weddings and the Business of Tradition; wedding planner Marie Haverly, Deputy Head of the Business School and senior lecturer in event management at the University of Winchester in the UK; and wedding photographer Shanaya Arora, one half of Nitin Arora Photography which she founded with her husband. Shanaya is also the host of WED FM India, a podcast all about weddings.Produced by Fiona Clampin for BBC World Service.(Photo: Comet and Phakalane Mmisi, dance just after they were married, Johannesburg, South Africa, 11 July 2008.

What happens when a nation goes bankrupt on water? In this edition of Roqe, Jian opens with a reflection on why “water is the new oil” - the defining resource of the 21st century. He argues that the crisis unfolding in Iran today is not just a local tragedy, but a preview for the world. Our feature guest is Professor Kaveh Madani, former Deputy Head of Iran's Department of Environment and current Director of the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health.

The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most important energy corridors in the world. It is the only sea route from the Persian Gulf to the open ocean, it serves as the primary maritime route for oil exports from the Gulf. Any disruption to traffic through the strait would have implications for oil markets and regional stability.While some Gulf states have developed pipelines to bypass the strait, the volume of oil transported by sea is far greater, and for many countries, including key Gulf exporters, the waterway is essential to maintaining trade. China is the largest buyer of oil that travels through the strait, making it particularly exposed to any disruption.Iran itself relies on the Strait of Hormuz to sell its oil and any blockage of the route would likely damage Iran's own economy and could strain relationships with regional neighbours.Despite past threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway has remained open, including during the tanker wars of the 1980s, but any disruption could have a big impact on global oil supplies.Picture Credit: Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto via Getty ImagesContributors: Camille Lons, Deputy Head of the Paris office of the Council on Foreign relations Elisabeth Braw, Senior fellow with the Atlantic Council's Transatlantic Security Initiative in the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and SecurityJacob P.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- On Saturday night, seven U.S. B-2 bombers dropped a total of fourteen 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs on Iranian nuclear sites in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. In a press conference following the strategic strike, President Donald Trump called the mission a “spectacular military success.” 3:10pm- On Monday, Iran responded to U.S. strikes on key nuclear development facilities by launching missiles at an American base in Qatar—the largest American military installation in the Middle East. The Defense Department has said the air defense systems intercepted the missiles and there were no U.S. casualties. 3:20pm- During a press conference Sunday night, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Dan Caine revealed that Iranian air defense never spotted the American B-2 bombers over Iranian airspace and, consequently, never fired a single shot during Saturday night's strategic bombing. 3:30pm- Deputy Head of Russian President Vladimir Putin's Security Council Dmitry Medvedev called America's strike on Iranian nuclear facilities a “dangerous escalation” and suggested other countries may supply Iran with a nuclear weapon—though, he did not say which nations. 3:40pm- Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned Iran not to shut down the Strait of Hormuz with mines. China, an ally of Iran, has echoed a similar sentiment. According to estimates 84% of the crude oil that moves through the Strait goes to Asian markets.

Did you know the United States Army is older than the United States? The Army has its origins in 1775 at a time when the colonists had a distrust of a standing permanent army like the British employed in the colonies. As such, it was a not a permanent army. The War of 1812 showed our country the need for a permanent national army. In the ensuing years, the United States Army has fought a Civil War, two World Wars and protected American interests around the world. To share further history and the impact of our Army, we are honored to have a very distinguished guest. Col. Bryan Gibby graduated from the United States Military Academy in West Point in 1993 and first served with the 101st Airborne Division. After two deployments to Iraq, a 3-year stint with NATO and completing his M.A. and Ph.D degrees, Col. Gibby returned to West Point where he now serves as the Deputy Head for the Department of History.

With challenges from tariffs and moderating distributions, investors are seeking ways to manage risks while uncovering opportunities for growth.

For far too long, healthcare performance indicators have centred on inputs—like funding and infrastructure—or processes—like hospital admissions or waiting times—without adequately capturing the experiences and outcomes of the people receiving care. The OECD's PaRIS Survey upends that dynamic, shining a light on how older people with chronic conditions feel about their care, how healthy they really feel, and how their everyday lives are affected. The latest figures are now out: with over 107K patients in over 1800 primary care practices across 19 countries, the survey highlights that living longer doesn't always mean living better, especially if care experiences are poor and chronic conditions aren't managed in a way that reflects patients needs. In this episode of the Behind the Numbers podcast, our host Ashley Ward is joined by OECD Health Economists Frederico Guanais and Michael van den Berg to explore the work behind this innovative survey. Learn how policymakers, healthcare providers, and patients themselves can use these data to drive more people-centred healthcare.
