Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.On today's podcast:(1) The US and Iran exchanged fire in a flareup of violence on Monday that also drew in the United Arab Emirates, prompting calls for renewed strikes on Iranian targets and casting doubt on the fate of a four-week ceasefire.(2) Stocks pulled back from record highs and the dollar strengthened after the US and Iran exchanged fire, escalating Middle East tensions and fueling inflation concerns.(3) European Union Economy Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis warned of the stagflationary effect that the Iran war is creating for the bloc.(4) Some of the US’s closest allies including Canada and the UK are warning that the international system of security and trade championed by western powers for more than 70 years is broken beyond repair — and that it’s up to Europe to fashion a new global order.(5) HSBC Holdings Plc reported profit that missed estimates, weighed down by an unexpected UK fraud-related charge and rising economic risks stemming from the conflict in the Middle East.(6) Prime Minister Keir Starmer is due to host meetings to tackle antisemitism on Tuesday after two men were stabbed in north London last week in the latest attack targeting British Jews.(7) When Christine Lagarde addressed a central bank conference late last year, her frustration was clear: Europe had been debating a digital euro for years, but it was still nowhere close to being done. But with the first issuance of a digital central bank currency expected only in 2029, and delays still cropping up, so have fears that the bloc may have already fallen behind.Podcast Conversation: So When Does the Energy Price Shock Hit Europe?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on That Tech Pod, Laura and Kevin sit down with Cindy Cohn, Executive Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, to talk about the power structures hiding in plain sight across the internet, money, surveillance, and AI. Cindy breaks down what EFF actually does and why access to the internet is not just an infrastructure problem, but a civil liberties issue that shapes who gets heard, who gets tracked, and who gets left out.We get into how mass surveillance quietly became normal, from license plate readers to cell phone tracking, and why most people would be genuinely shocked if they saw the full picture. We also look ahead at financial surveillance, using Europe's move toward a Digital Euro as a case study, and ask where legitimate oversight ends and control begins. On the AI front, Cindy pushes back on the idea that privacy is already lost, and explains why treating opaque systems as inevitable only benefits the most powerful actors. Cindy makes a clear case that defending digital rights does not require being a technologist or a lawyer. It starts with staying skeptical, asking hard questions, and refusing to accept tools we are not allowed to understand or challenge. That is exactly why this conversation mattered, and why we were so glad to have her on.Cindy Cohn is the Executive Director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and previously served as EFF's Legal Director and General Counsel from 2000 to 2015. She has been involved with EFF since 1993, when she served as lead outside counsel in the landmark Bernstein v. U.S. Department of Justice case, a successful First Amendment challenge to U.S. export restrictions on cryptography. Her work has been widely recognized, with honors from Forbes, The National Law Journal, and The NonProfit Times for her influence in technology, law, and civil liberties. She is also the co-host of EFF's podcast, How to Fix the Internet, and the author of Privacy's Defender, published by MIT Press.

Our payment habits are changing. With digital payments on the rise, we need to preserve people's freedom to choose how to pay: there's cash, card, online transfers – and soon, we could have a digital euro. But what is the digital euro, and how will it work? Will it replace cash? Concerns about data security and government control have sparked debate around the digital euro, often fuelled by disinformation. We separate fact from fiction as our host Stefania Secola teams up with Aidas Palubinskas from EU Finance Podcast to speak to Executive Board member Piero Cipollone about modernising our money. The views expressed are those of the speakers and not necessarily those of the European Central Bank. Recorded on 4 November 2025 and published on 13 November 2025. In this episode: 02:18 The digital what? What is the digital euro, and how will it work in practice? Don't we already pay digitally? 13:48 What will happen to cash? Would introducing the digital euro mean the end of cash? And could it take away business from banks and other financial service providers? 16:25 How secure would the digital euro be really? What about hackers? Will our money be safe, and will the digital euro affect the integrity of the payments system? 19:31 Did someone say Big Brother? Will central banks, governments and other authorities have access to our data ? How private will our payments really be? 24:52 When will we have a digital euro? Where are we in the process and what are the next steps?

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales about the simulation run by the European Central Bank showing that with the rollout of the digital Euro, the CBDC could lead to a drain of 700 billion euros ($810.88 billion) in deposits during a commercial bank run. As banks are facing bankruptcy and are held up by insurance that doesn't actually exist, the shift into a cashless society is all the more suspicious. It is no coincidence that the cashless society is being rolled out simultaneously as the global economic infrastructure crumbles. With digital IDs mandated in many places and 63 central banks implementing bail ins via Basel III, it is clear that plans are being made to completely take over your money and use it against you. Bank runs are a very real possibility and in places like the United States, the FDIC which claims to protect your deposits is itself bankrupt according to their own admission. Add in inflation and this is a recipe for disaster. People will accept any fake solution in order to get peace of mind. We are also seeing shortages of gold as people rush to buy precious metals.

Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales about the launch of the CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) in the European Union as Christine Lagarde announces the launch will come by October at the latest. We have warned for over a decade of this incoming threat which has come more and more near with every month. Now, with this announcement, we can expect the United States and Canada to follow suit soon going into next year. While it has been said that The Federal Reserve will not be releasing a CBDC under Trump, it seems obvious that this kind of launch would actually be done by the Treasury. Trump has pushed forward proposals for heavily centralized "stable coins" as the dollar quickly lost its standing as the world reserve currency. The Digital Euro will bring in digital ID and social credits at a time with already existing emergency orders, a banking crisis, war and food shortages. This is being done exactly as planned. The United Nations Pact For The Future which was signed onto by 193 countries includes restricting your bank account if you say negative things about the government as well as bringing in carbon credit scores. This agenda has already been heavily adopted in the shift into net zero. It isn't a coincidence that this coincides with a CBDC launch. There ARE ways to avoid this inevitable shift into CBDCs but it comes down to all of you watching or reading to take those steps mentioned in the video. Stay tuned for more from WAM!
