Premierul polonez Donald Tusk lansează un semnal de alarmă. Într-un interviu acordat publicației britanice The Sunday Times, șeful guvernului de la Varșovia atrage atenția asupra apelurilor din Europa de reconstruire a legăturilor economice cu Rusia. Semnalul lui Tusk vine după ce o instanță poloneză a respins cererea de extrădare în Germania a unui ucrainean acuzat de participare la aruncarea în aer a conductei North Stream 2. Prim-ministrul polonez Donald Tusk avertizează că sfârșitul războiului Rusiei în Ucraina ar putea duce la eforturi de reluare a legăturilor economice cu Rusia - inclusiv la repornirea controversatului gazoduct Nord Stream 2. În timp ce Europa se află în fața posibilității unor negocieri de pace între Rusia și Ucraina, Tusk a descris apelurile politicienilor europeni de a reconstrui legăturile cu Moscova la sfârșitul războiului drept „un semnal de alarmă”. „Știu ce înseamnă atunci când cineva din Europa vrea să restabilească Nord Stream 2, să aibă afaceri bune cu petrolul și gazele din Rusia și așa mai departe”, a spus el. „Pentru mine, este întotdeauna ca un semnal de alarmă”, a spus Tusk într-un interviu acordat publicației The Sunday Times. Nord Stream 2, conducta majoră care transportă gaze din Rusia în Germania prin Marea Baltică, este descrisă de critici ca o greșeală strategică și un simbol al concilierii Europei cu Moscova. Conducta a fost aruncată în aer în 2022, după ce președintele rus Vladimir Putin a ordonat invadarea pe scară largă a Ucrainei și după un ultimatum adresat Occidentului, în care cerea retragerea NATO pe aliniamentele din 1997. Un scafandru profesionist ucrainean a fost arestat ulterior pentru presupusa sa implicare în sabotaj. „Problema cu North Stream 2 nu este că a fost aruncată în aer. Problema este că a fost construită”, a scris Tusk pe rețelele de socializare X la începutul acestei luni, amintește Politico. În interviul acordat The Sunday Times, Tusk a declarat că o hotărâre a unei instanțe poloneze care blochează o cerere de extrădare a Germaniei pentru unul dintre suspecții de sabotaj Nord Stream înseamnă că Ucraina are dreptul de a ataca ținte legate de Rusia oriunde în Europa. Liderul polonez a criticat, de asemenea, automulțumirea Europei și subestimarea constantă a amenințărilor expansioniste ale lui Putin. „Vorbim despre sfârșitul erei iluziilor în Europa – prea târziu, mă tem. Prea târziu pentru a fi bine pregătiți pentru toate amenințările, dar nu prea târziu pentru a supraviețui”, a avertizat Tusk. De asemenea, în interviu, Tusk a descris ieșirea Marii Britanii din UE drept „una dintre cele mai mari greșeli din istoria noastră [europeană comună]” – la 10 ani după încercarea eșuată a prim-ministrului britanic David Cameron de a folosi referendumul Brexit ca pârghie pentru a obține concesii de la UE. „Și astăzi cred că a devenit mult mai vizibil”, a spus Tusk. Acesta a fost puternic implicat în prima fază a negocierilor Brexit în calitate de președinte al Consiliului European la acea vreme. „Mai ales după Brexit, polonezii și-au dat seama că situația obiectivă din Marea Britanie nu este mult mai bună decât în Polonia. Știu, de asemenea, că mulți încep să părăsească Marea Britanie și să-și înceapă o viață aici, în Polonia”, a spus premierul Poloniei – o țară care a beneficiat enorm de pe urma apartenenței la Uniunea Europeană.

Les Irlandais sont appelés aux urnes. Ils voteront, vendredi 24 octobre, pour leur prochain président. Une fonction symbolique dans le pays, mais que l'actuel président, Michael D. Higgins, a su transformer en véritable tribune pour aborder les grands enjeux mondiaux, à commencer par la situation à Gaza. La question palestinienne a d'ailleurs animé la campagne, tout comme la réunification avec l'Irlande du Nord. Un sujet brûlant, et pour cause : près de deux tiers des Irlandais, et 60% des Nord-Irlandais, jugent essentiel de se préparer à ce rapprochement historique. Après Belfast, c'est la deuxième plus grande ville d'Irlande du Nord : Derry ou Londonderry. C'est ici qu'ont grandi Daryl et Adam, cigarettes roulées à la bouche et écarteurs aux oreilles. A 25 ans, ils forment à eux deux Crack Pipe, un groupe de hip-hop. Ils sont nés après l'accord de paix du Vendredi saint en 1998 et n'ont donc jamais connu les violences du conflit. Pour eux, la réunification de l'Irlande n'est qu'une question de temps. « Il y a un certain fossé entre les plus âgés et les jeunes, parce que Derry a beaucoup changé. Je crois que les gens veulent avancer, tourner la page et aller de l'avant. La frontière à elle seule entretient la division. » Le changement dont parle Daryl a été illustré en 2022 par la victoire du Sinn Fein aux élections en Irlande du Nord. Une victoire historique pour ce parti, ancien bras politique de l'IRA, l'armée républicaine irlandaise, et qui a relancé le débat sur réunification de l'île. Aujourd'hui, 60% des Nord-Irlandais s'y disent favorables. De l'autre côté de la frontière, c'est un espoir de longue date. Selon un sondage, 64% des citoyens de la République étaient pour fin 2023. Et l'évolution des Nord-Irlandais est importante pour eux, car ces derniers peuvent voter demain à la présidentielle s'ils résident en République d'Irlande. Les promesses de nouvelles perspectives C'est le cas de Karl Duncan, 23 ans, qui a posé ses valises à Dublin il y a à peine deux mois. « Quand on grandit et qu'on vit en Irlande du Nord, les opportunités économiques ne sont pas très nombreuses, surtout en dehors de Belfast. Donc, pour beaucoup de jeunes du Nord, la réunification serait synonyme de nouvelles perspectives en nous rapprochant de l'Union européenne. » Ross Neel, 29 ans, lui est avocat. Originaire de Belfast, il vit à Dublin depuis quelques années. Et à ceux, dans le Sud, qui redoutent le coût de la réunification et soulignent que l'Irlande du Nord est la province la plus pauvre du Royaume, Ross rétorque : « Dublin subit énormément de pression car il n'y a pas assez de logements ni d'infrastructures. À Belfast, en revanche, il y a de l'espace disponible. Il y a des choses que l'Irlande du Nord peut apporter à la République et qu'on ne mesure peut-être pas suffisamment. Par exemple, l'industrie de défense en Irlande du Nord pourrait bénéficier à la République qui est très faible dans ce domaine. » Demain, le rêve longtemps si lointain d'une Irlande réunifiée pourrait donc enfin devenir réalité, entre les mains de la future présidente Catherine Connolly ou Heather Humphreys. À lire aussiComment l'Irlande du Nord et la République d'Irlande continuent-elles à coexister, cinq ans après le Brexit?

The UK's first female prime minister undoubtedly transformed the country as she achieved electoral success her Conservative successors could only dream of.Evidence of her enduring influence is the fact that it's not just Tories who claim a debt to her but also opposing politicians, with Rachel Reeves recently branding herself the "iron chancellor".She was also a very divisive figure, with lasting anger over her handling of the miners' strike and the controversial poll tax.So, what is Baroness Thatcher's legacy to both her party and the country? What would she have made of Brexit and the rise of Reform UK? Will she still be talked about in another 100 years?Niall Paterson is joined by Sky's chief political correspondent Jon Craig.Producers: Tom Gillespie and Soila Apparicio Editor: Wendy Parker

"Too little too late", that's what we're hearing from some farmers who've already ploughed up and planted fields that were being farmed for nature. They say this is because the government took too long to come up with an extension to their environmental funding. A House of Lords Committee says the Windsor Framework, the post-Brexit agreement between the UK and EU that's meant to simplify trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, is "overwhelmingly complex". Powys Council has just closed a consultation on plans for a new farm policy, which includes the possibility of selling some of its council owned farms. The Council says incomes are too low and maintenance costs too high on some of its farms, but local council farm tenants hope farming will remain a key part of council plans. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
Rachel Reeves has admitted that next month's Autumn Budget will see Labour raise taxes on the wealthy.As she was heading to Washington for meetings with the IMF, The Chancellor told Sky News she was “looking at tax and spending” ahead of the November 26th fiscal event, and then went on to tell The Guardian that taxes on the wealthy “will be part of the story”.On today's Daily T podcast, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined by Sunday Telegraph editor Allister Heath, who calls Reeves's plans “delusional”, that her blaming Brexit for economic stagnation proves Labour “doesn't understand Britain” and says that “the moment you start saying to wealthy people ‘we're going to confiscate your money', it's the beginning of the end”.► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

The Center for Irish Studies at Villanova University Podcast Series
Charles Strozier is the author of Making Peace in Northern Ireland: The Miracle of the Good Friday Agreement. In this conversation with Center Director Joseph Lennjon, Strozier discusses his distinctive approach to history—one that blends psychoanalytic insight with political and cultural analysis—to understand how empathy and inner transformation shaped the peace process. Reflecting on decades of scholarship spanning Abraham Lincoln, 9/11, and apocalyptic thought, Strozier traces how his curiosity about the psychology of violence and reconciliation led him to study figures like John Hume, David Trimble, Ian Paisley, and John Alderdice, the key “dramatis personae” of the Good Friday Agreement.Strozier explores the inner lives behind political change—how the painstaking act of listening across divides created what he calls “radical empathy,” making peace possible after generations of sectarian violence. The discussion ranges from the gendered dynamics of the talks to Northern Ireland's shifting cultural identity in the post-Brexit era, concluding with Strozier's reflections on hope, healing, and his current work on the psychology of idealization. It's an illuminating look at how understanding human emotion and imagination can help explain not only history, but also the possibility of reconciliation in our own time.

It's springtime for charlatans. At least according to Quico Toro, coauthor (with my old friend Moises Naim) of Charlatans, a new screed about how grifters, swindlers and hucksters are bamboozling the media, the markets and the masses. If you listen to Toro, you wouldn't want to get out of bed in the morning. Everywhere - on our screens, in our churches, even in the White House - there lurk charlatans intent on stealing our souls. As you can tell from my rat-a-tat scepticism, I'm not totally convinced by such hysterical fearmongering. Though he's probably right that social isolation and AI-powered scams are making us sitting ducks for scammers. Anyway, at least there's no chapter about huckster podcasters in Charlatans. So you are safe here from bamboozlers of all stripes. 1. The Harm Standard Is Everything Quico's core thesis: charlatans aren't just persuasive people you disagree with - they leave a trail of destroyed lives. No harm = not a charlatan (even if you find them distasteful, like the astrology businesswoman he mentions).2. Your Deepest Beliefs Are Your Biggest Vulnerabilities Charlatans don't create new beliefs - they identify what you already passionately believe in (religion, crypto, politics, health) and exploit that commitment to manipulate you. The stronger your conviction, the easier you are to con.3. Technology + Social Isolation = Charlatan Playground AI and algorithms can now identify and target “marks” with unprecedented precision. Combined with loneliness and screen-mediated relationships (no flesh-and-blood friends to reality-check you), we're more vulnerable than ever.4. Not All Grifters Are Criminals Motivations vary: money, sex, power - the “dark triad.” Some are outright thieves (Madoff, SBF), others are narcissists or sexual predators using their influence. But they share antisocial personality traits and lack of remorse.5. Even Legitimate Movements Get Hijacked The Falwell Sr. vs Jr. example: sincere ideological movements (even ones you disagree with) can be credible, but charlatans infiltrate and weaponize them. Brexit, prosperity gospel, anti-vax - all started somewhere and got exploited.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

France's caretaker Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu says he'll present a draft budget bill next Monday, adding that there is still "a lot to debate". Among the sticking points is President Emmanuel Macron's signature pension reform, which was passed in 2023. So could it possibly be suspended? If so, at what cost? Also in the segment: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he wants the "biggest post-Brexit trade deal" with India to be implemented "as soon as humanly possible", as he begins a two-day visit to the Asian country.

‘I predicted it would lead to an invasion, I was demonised for daring to say the word, but I would suggest 180,000 people later, perhaps I was right!'Nigel Farage reacts to Keir Starmer's ‘Farage boat' comments blaming Brexit for the small boat crisis. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Sir David Davis, the former Brexit secretary, has called on Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, to provide the full reasoning behind the decision to cut funding for Nigel Farage's security detail.Despite being a political rival of Mr Farage, the veteran Tory MP tells Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley on today's Daily T that the Government's “premeditated” labelling of the Reform leader as racist at Labour's party conference may “heighten the risk” he faces and that his role as a high-profile politician means he deserves “serious protection”.Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim also look ahead to the Conservative Party conference, which gets under way this weekend, and ask the question – should Kemi Badenoch mention Nigel Farage or not?

Keir Starmer, tot - pak 'm beet - gisteren politiek doodverklaard, heeft zowaar een goede beurt gemaakt op het Labour congres in Liverpool. Met een voor zijn doen vlammend betoog voor nationale vernieuwing liet de kwakkelende premier zich van een nieuwe kant zien. Vanwaar deze metamorphose? Starmer heeft het politiek makkelijker gekregen, paradoxaal genoeg door de opkomst en immense populariteit van de Reform-partij van Nigel Farage. Nu hij een serieuze vijand heeft, kan hij zijn eigen verhaal beter kwijt. Starmer schotelt het land een keuze voor: fatsoen of verdeling. vernieuwing of achteruitgang. Is dit een tijdelijke opleving, of gaat het de belegerde premier eindelijk een keer voor de wind? Ook in deze aflevering Hekserij en transgenders. Emma Watson en JK Rowling hebben flink ruzie, en het heeft er alle schijn van dat het niet meer goedkomt tussen de twee. Schrijver en acteur staan lijnrecht tegenover elkaar in de discussie over rechten voor transgenders. Oh ja, en Connor is terug. Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee. Elke woensdag krijg je een nieuwe podcast over het leven van Van Bekhovens Britten in je podcastapp. Scherpe analyses, diepgang waar op de radio geen tijd voor is en een flinke portie humor.

Nicola Sturgeon has been one of the most recognisable names in British politics in the past decade. Holding Scottish politics' highest seat through Brexit, a historic first Scottish independence vote and a global pandemic.Nicola Sturgeon, with her new memoir ‘Frankly', joins Kieran in the studio to discuss!
durée : 00:05:43 - Le Journal de l'éco - par : Anne-Laure Chouin - Le pays est toujours en train de gérer les conséquences de l'après-Brexit et le gouvernement tente de relancer la croissance. Et sur le bureau du Premier ministre travailliste les gros dossiers s'accumulent.
Tommy ROBINSON - Opportunist, Patriot or Ill-Informed? (Part 2) The Black Spy Podcast 211, Season 22, Episode 0003 The 150,000-strong anti-immigration demonstration in central London, fronted by figures like Tommy Robinson, is a striking illustration of how immigration has become one of the most polarising issues in British politics. The march's overt targeting of Muslims and people of colour underscores the racialised framing of immigration, moving the debate far beyond policy detail and into the territory of national identity, culture, and belonging. The demonstration reflects a public mood that successive governments have helped to shape. For years, both Labour and the Conservatives have flirted with populist rhetoric on immigration. Labour, historically more cautious, now walks a tightrope between its traditional working-class base—some of whom are sceptical of immigration—and its progressive, urban supporters who view migration as essential to a modern Britain. This tension often leaves the party hesitant, reactive rather than proactive. The Conservatives, by contrast, have leaned heavily into the immigration debate, especially under recent leaderships. Their strategy has been to present themselves as the only party capable of “taking back control” of borders—first through Brexit, then through high-profile but controversial measures like the Rwanda deportation scheme. While such policies rarely deliver the promised results, they fuel a perception among parts of the electorate that the government is fighting a cultural battle against an “influx” of outsiders. In effect, the Conservatives have normalised elements of the very language and themes echoed by street movements like Robinson's. This creates a dangerous loop: populist protests pressure politicians, politicians adopt harsher rhetoric to shore up support, and protests grow bolder in turn. The London demonstration is therefore not just a one-off show of force but a symptom of how deeply immigration has become embedded in Britain's political fault lines—and how both major parties, albeit in different ways, are struggling to manage it. Rights of Asylum Seekers (while claim is pending) Employment: Not normally allowed to work. May apply for permission to work only if their claim has been outstanding for over 12 months through no fault of their own. If granted, work is restricted to jobs on the Shortage Occupation List. Financial Support: Eligible for Asylum Support (provided by the Home Office). Current rate: about £49.18 per person, per week (loaded onto an ASPEN debit card). Additional allowances may be given for pregnant women, babies, and young children. Housing: Provided with accommodation on a no-choice basis (can be shared housing or hostels, not chosen by the applicant). Must stay where the Home Office places them. Health Care: Entitled to use the NHS free of charge while their claim is being considered. Includes GP services, hospital care, and maternity care. Education: Children of asylum seekers have the right to attend state schools. Asylum seekers usually cannot access student loans for university. Rights of Recognised Refugees (once status is granted) · Employment: Full right to work in the UK. · Benefits: Full access to welfare benefits (e.g., Universal Credit, housing benefit, child benefit). · Housing: Can apply for social housing and access homelessness assistance. · Health Care: Full NHS access on the same basis as UK citizens. · Education: Children can attend school; adults can access student finance for higher education. · Travel: May apply for a Refugee Travel Document to travel abroad (not valid for country of persecution).

Before becoming Ireland's youngest Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar was a Dublin GP with bold ambitions and a belief that politics could be a kind of medicine for society.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with the former Prime Minister to explore his extraordinary rise from a mixed-heritage childhood in 1980s Ireland, to leading his country through Brexit battles, historic referendums and the turbulence of the pandemic. They discuss the unlikely path that took him from medical practice to the world stage, the emotional costs of leadership, and why he chose to step away at just 45 years old.Frank, reflective and often surprising, this is a conversation about resilience, identity, and what it really means to hold power in a changing IrelandFind out more about Leo Varadkar's memoir Speaking My Mind here
Four and a half thousand miles away in Nepal, Gen Z protestors recently brought down their government in just 48 hours, amid roiling anger over corruption and nepotism. The uprising, led by online influencers harnessing the power of AI and Tik Tok, has sent shockwaves through South Asia. So, this week on Westminster Insider, host Patrick Baker decides it's time to look at U.K. politics through the eyes of Gen Z — generally regarded as those born between 1997 and 2012. Luke Tryl, UK director of polling company More in Common, sheds light on the concerns of a generation that has only ever known constant crisis — from the 2008 financial crash to Brexit paralysis and then the Covid-19 pandemic. A Gen Z focus group describes what matters to them, and which political parties are grabbing their attention. Gen Z MPs — Sam Carling, the Labour MP known as the ‘Baby of the House', Keir Mather, who recently became the youngest Government minister in 200 years, and Lib Dem MP Joshua Reynolds — set out their plans to restore their generation's faith in mainstream Westminster politics. ‘Your Party' co-leader Zarah Sultana, which has polled well with young people, speaks to Patrick at a grassroots party meeting in North London, where we hear from Gen Z about their hopes for the future, and why they still back Jeremy Corbyn. With a big increase in Gen Z men voting for Reform UK, Owain Clatworthy, a 21-year-old Reform UK councillor in Bridgend in Wales, explains why he stood for Nigel Farage's right-wing populist party at such a young age. And following the recent killing of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk on a U.S.college campus, Patrick attends his memorial in London to speak to young men inspired by Kirk's ultra-conservative brand of right-wing politics.

AI Is Going Great – Or How ML Makes Money 01:33 Microsoft and OpenAI make a deal: Reading between the lines of their secretive new agreement – GeekWire Microsoft and OpenAI have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding that will restructure their partnership, with OpenAI’s nonprofit entity receiving an equity stake exceeding $100 billion in a new public benefit corporation where Microsoft will play a major role. The deal addresses the AGI clause that previously allowed OpenAI to unilaterally dissolve the partnership upon achieving artificial general intelligence, which had been a significant risk for Microsoft’s multi-billion-dollar investment. Both companies are diversifying their partnerships – Microsoft is now using Anthropic’s technology for some Office 365 AI features, while OpenAI has signed a $300 billion computing contract with Oracle over five years. Microsoft’s exclusivity on OpenAI cloud workloads has been replaced with a right of first refusal, enabling OpenAI to participate in the $500 billion Stargate AI project with Oracle and other partners. The restructuring allows OpenAI to raise capital for its mission while ensuring the nonprofit’s resources grow proportionally, with plans to use funds for community impact, includin

Fourteen months in and the wheels are off: • Poll shock: Majority want him OUT now. • Palestinian state recognition: 9 in 10 Brits oppose it (Telegraph poll) — he's ploughing on anyway. • Identity cards: Another scheme voters don't want. • Immigration chaos: dinghy crossings, migrant hotels, broken promises, freebies, corruption, the Mandelson scandal… the lot. He thinks the problem is flags. The problem is HIM. No deal on Palestine until Hamas releases every hostage. No more gimmicks. No more lies.

CW: Spoilers for 28 Days Later and discussions of disturbing subject matter.Jacob Dallas and Lenore Olson of the literary podcast The Socialist Shelf join me from Atlanta for a discussion of Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later.Set a couple of decades after the UK was consumed by the Rage Virus of the first film and is now a nation isolated from the rest of the world, 28 Years Later takes place on a small island community in Northern England that has in turn isolated itself from the mainland, and depicts the rituals of this broken society where the surviving men are the hunter gatherers and the women are the providers.28 Years Later also operates as a metaphor for the UK in the shadow of Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic, with a society that has forgotten the details of the past but carries on. We discuss some of the provocative ideas 28 Years Later puts forward, including some sympathy for the infected, some contempt for the surviving human race, and the disturbing (and unexpectedly comedic) coda that marks this film as Extremely British, which may not have been clear to international audiences (and indeed enraged some British viewers), while setting up next January's sequel.Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

Leo Varadkar's new memoir promises readers an insight into what the former taoiseach really thought about the monumental events - Covid, Brexit, the housing crisis - that he was centrally involved in. He talks to Hugh Linehan and Irish Times Britain and Ireland editor Mark Hennessy about the book and his life and times in politics. He explains why Eoghan Murphy may have been suited to a government role other than Housing Minister, why he and Phil Hogan still don't speak, why a Covid inquiry still hasn't happened and why the question of reunification may need serious consideration more quickly than we think.

Seamus Murphy is an Irish photographer and filmmaker who has spent decades documenting life in some of the world's most challenging places—from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan to Nigeria's Boko Haram territories. Having left recession-era Ireland in the 1980s to teach himself photography in American darkrooms, Murphy has become that rare artist who moves seamlessly between conflict zones and recording studios, creating books of Afghan women's poetry while directing music videos that anticipated Brexit. Tyler and Seamus discuss the optimistic case for Afghanistan, his biggest fear when visiting any conflict zone, how photography has shaped perceptions of Afghanistan, why Russia reminded him of pre-Celtic Tiger Ireland, how the Catholic Church's influence collapsed so suddenly in Ireland, why he left Ireland in the 1980s, what shapes Americans impression of Ireland, living part-time in Kolkata and what the future holds for that “slightly dying” but culturally vibrant city, his near-death encounters with Boko Haram in Nigeria, the visual similarities between Michigan and Russia, working with PJ Harvey on Let England Shake and their travels to Kosovo and Afghanistan together, his upcoming film about an Afghan family he's documented for thirty years, and more.
