Africa's Sahel region is experiencing historic shifts as anti-colonial sentiment sweeps across the region, with the French military being kicked out of one country after another after failing to rout insurgencies fueled by their own policies. France and its allies have responded by blaming disinformation, authoritarianism, and the west's favorite boogeyman: Russia. Meanwhile the security situation in the Sahel continues to deteriorate.To help break it all down, Breakthrough News journalist Eugene Puryear joined Rania Khalek on Dispatches.

We are thrilled to have Dr. Stephen Kingsmore, a dedicated physician, researcher, an inventor, and who is the currently the President/CEO of Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine in San Diego, California.  In this podcast, you will not only learn what drives Dr. Kingsmore's purpose to improve the lives of newborns and to prevent avoidable and unnecessary deaths due to late diagnosis of rare genetic condition, but also his challenges in clinical practice and research in making his dream of a learning healthcare system using genomic medicine a reality globally.  Among his achievements, Dr. Kingsmore pioneered the development of ultra-rapid Whole Genome Sequencing to decode rare disease in newborns. In 2021, he led the RCIGM team to break his own world speed record by achieving diagnosis via WGS in 13.5 hours. Dr. Kingsmore came to Rady Children's in 2015 from Children's Mercy Kansas City, where he was the Executive Director of Medical Panomics. He previously served as President and CEO of the National Center for Genome Resources; COO of Molecular Staging Inc.; Vice President of Research at CuraGen Corporation; founder of GatorGen; and Assistant Professor at the University of Florida's School of Medicine. Dr. Kingsmore received MB, ChB, BAO and DSc degrees from the Queen's University of Belfast. He trained in clinical immunology in Northern Ireland and did residency in internal medicine and fellowship at Duke University Medical Center. He is a fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists.  Learn from Dr. Kingsmore how to work through the challenges in research and clinical practice in advancing newborn screening research.   Podcast Interview Questions   Thank you, Dr. Kingsmore, for being a guest on the NBSTRN podcast, NBS SPOTlight. We are excited to speak with you today! Dr. Kingsmore, you are currently the President/CEO of Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, where you lead a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, physicians and researchers who are pioneering the use of rapid Whole Genome Sequencing to enable precise diagnoses for critically ill newborns. How did your interest in rare disease research lead you to San Diego? Many of us remember specific milestones you and your team have accomplished and your calls to action have inspired stakeholders across the NBS community. During your presentation at our NBS Research Summit in 2021 you spoke about “NBS and Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing (rWGS) for Severe Infant Onset Genetic Diseases". Most recently, you were a part of the International Conference on Newborn Sequencing (ICoNS) in augural meeting where you joined researchers from across the world to share information about newborn sequencing initiatives. What were the major takeaways from that meeting, and what should the NBS Research Community be aware of? You recently published that your team has developed a “Scalable, high quality, whole genome sequencing from archived, newborn, dried blood spots.” Up to eighty-one genetic diseases are included in screening, thirty-six of which are recommended for NBS by a federal advisory committee known as the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel. As you know, there are more than 7,000 rare genetic diseases (RD) that affect 6-8% of the US population or about 30 million Americans. Addition to the RUSP is a lengthy process.  What are your thoughts on how the use of genome sequencing using dried blood spots to identify rare diseases could change the landscape of newborn screening policy when we currently adopt one condition at a time and the nationwide implementation can take years? We appreciate your contribution to the American Journal of Medical Genetics Special Issue on Newborn Screening Research, where Dr. Amy Brower and Dr. Kee Chan were co-editors of this issue. Your article on the “Dispatches from Biotech beginning BeginNGS: Rapid newborn genome sequencing to end the diagnostic and therapeutic odyssey” highlights the BeginNGS, a consortium in collaboration with academia, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and non-profit organization to provide a platform for implementing whole-genome sequencing for newborn screening, disease management and interventions, and rare disease drug development for use by partners around the world. Could you share the work in progress as of now? If we were to implement whole-genome sequencing for newborn screening globally one day, how do you envision long-term follow-up of management of care for the patient and families, including medical, non-medical, psychological services, education, and other related services to improve the quality of life to be supported? You received your medical training from the Queen's University of Belfast in Ireland. You trained in clinical immunology in Northern Ireland and did residency in internal medicine and fellowship at Duke University Medical Center. You are also a fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists. What sparked your interest in newborn screening? You have such a long history of successes and accomplishments that have global impact on health care and public health. In March of 2015, you surpassed your previous record in genetic sequencing by reducing the process to 26 hours, which was recognized in April 2016 by Guinness World Record as the fastest genetic sequencing in the world. Now, I think your team has reduced the time again.  On the flip side of the coin, would you mind sharing your biggest challenge —and what did you learn from that experience?  What's your biggest challenge in your research right now, and how are you tackling it? How could NBSTRN data tools and resources assist you? What does NBS research mean to you?

Link from the show:* On a Knife Edge: How Germany Lost the First World War* Leave a review on iTunesAbout my guest:I was always passionate about history. My elementary school teacher told my parents: "He will study history" - and she was right! I studied Modern and Medieval history, Italian and German literature at the Heinrich Heine Universität Duesseldorf and the Universita degli Studi di Napoli. I wrote my PhD thesis on the Prussian Minister of War and German Chief of Staff, General Erich v. Falkenhayn (1861-1922), one of Imperial Germany's key protagonists during the First World War. The PhD was funded by the Friedrich-Ebert-Foundation and my thesis was supervised by Wolfgang J. Mommsen.  After finishing my PhD and after a year as councellor in the German parliament (Deutscher Bundestag) I got funding for a major research project on international relations before 1914. The project run in close cooperation with Wolfgang Mommsen and was granted by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, Cologne. The outcome was a large monograph entitled "The Triple Alliance and European Great Power Politics, 1881-1915" and several articles. I finished the project as a Feodor-Lynen scholar (a two years grant by the Alexander-von-Humboldt-Foundation) in Vienna, cooperating with Prof. Helmut Rumpler. I was awarded my "Habilitation" at the Heinrich-Heine-Universität Duesseldorf in 1999 and got there in 2003 a honorary professorship.I taught from 1999 to 2002 at the University of Duesseldorf. At the same time I won another major research grant by the Fritz-Thyssen-Foundation for research on Wilhelm II as Supreme Warlord during the First World War. The result - a 1100 pages edition of new sources - was published in 2005 by the Historical Commission of the Bavarian Academy of Science. I was offered in August 2002 a DAAD Professorship of Modern German History at Emory University in Atlanta which I gladly accepted. Among other things I organised a large international conference in 2004 on the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 which was opened by President Jimmy Carter.I left Atlanta in summer 2006 after accepting my current position at the University of Leeds. I organized several conferences in Leeds and created and am responsible for our Master program in "War and Strategy" which is running since 2016.  Get full access to Dispatches from the War Room at dispatchesfromthewarroom.substack.com/subscribe

Links from the show:* Field of Corpses: Arthur St. Clair and the Death of an American Army* Connect with Al* Watch Al on YoutubeBook blurb:From Alan Gaff, author of the highly acclaimed Bayonets in the Wilderness, comes the real story of this stunning defeat against the Native American nations in the Northwest Territory. In three hours on the morning of November 4, 1791, General Arthur St. Clair lost one half of his soldiers as well as his reputation.November 4, 1791, was a black day in American history. General Arthur St. Clair's army had been ambushed by Native Americans in what is now western Ohio. In just three hours, St. Clair's force sustained the greatest loss ever inflicted on the United States Army by Native Americans—a total nearly three times larger than what incurred in the more famous Custer fight of 1876. It was the greatest proportional loss by any American army in the nation's history. By the time this fighting ended, over six hundred corpses littered an area of about three and one half football fields laid end to end. Still more bodies were strewn along the primitive road used by hundreds of survivors as they ran for their lives with Native Americans in hot pursuit. It was a disaster of cataclysmic proportions for George Washington's first administration, which had been in office for only two years.About my guest:I'm Alan D. Gaff, author and President of Historical Investigations, a company specializing in historical research.  With over 40 years experience in American history, I've published on everything from the Civil War to Damon Runyon.  When not working jigsaw puzzles and listening to music with Maureen, my wife of 50 years, we enjoy watching deer and birds in our backyard.  I like reading a good book until 3 a.m., a cold Diet Coke, and watching Indianapolis Colts football.With a Master's Degree in American History from Ball State University, my books have won Awards of Merit from the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, a University Press Best Seller, and finalist for both the Distinguished Writing Award Army Historical Foundation and New Mexico and Arizona Book Award in Biography.

Link from the show:* The Culture Transplant: How Migrants Make the Economies They Move To a Lot Like the Ones They Left* Connect with GarrettBook blurb:A provocative new analysis of immigration's long-term effects on a nation's economy and culture.Over the last two decades, as economists began using big datasets and modern computing power to reveal the sources of national prosperity, their statistical results kept pointing toward the power of culture to drive the wealth of nations. In The Culture Transplant, Garett Jones documents the cultural foundations of cross-country income differences, showing that immigrants import cultural attitudes from their homelands―toward saving, toward trust, and toward the role of government―that persist for decades, and likely for centuries, in their new national homes. Full assimilation in a generation or two, Jones reports, is a myth. And the cultural traits migrants bring to their new homes have enduring effects upon a nation's economic potential.Built upon mainstream, well-reviewed academic research that hasn't pierced the public consciousness, this book offers a compelling refutation of an unspoken consensus that a nation's economic and political institutions won't be changed by immigration. Jones refutes the common view that we can discuss migration policy without considering whether migration can, over a few generations, substantially transform the economic and political institutions of a nation. And since most of the world's technological innovations come from just a handful of nations, Jones concludes, the entire world has a stake in whether migration policy will help or hurt the quality of government and thus the quality of scientific breakthroughs in those rare innovation powerhouses.About my guest:After earning a BA in history from Brigham Young (with a sociology minor), an MPA from Cornell, and an MA in political science from UC Berkeley, I earned my Ph.D. at UC San Diego in 2000. My dissertation was on how the Federal Reserve can control short-run interest rates, and used accidental increases and decreases in bank reserves to estimate the economic effects of what we would now call quantitative easing. I enjoy backpacking in the High Sierra, getting lost in Venice, and looking for the best food in Chengdu. In the past, I've worked in the U.S. Senate, and my research areas include behavioral economics, monetary economics, corporate finance, and economic growth.

Award-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh joined Rania Khalek on Dispatches to discuss his latest bombshell on how the Biden administration destroyed the Nord Stream pipeline using remotely triggered explosives with the help of the CIA, US Navy divers, and NATO member Norway. This means the US targeted the critical energy infrastructure of its most important European ally, a major violation of sovereignty in what essentially constitutes objectively an act of war against Germany. But Germany is looking the other way. Hersh's article: https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the-nord-streamYou can listen to all episodes of Rania Khalek Dispatches anywhere you get podcasts.Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3za9DRK Apple: https://apple.co/3zeYpeW 

Links from the show:* Our Man in Tokyo: An American Ambassador and the Countdown to Pearl Harbor* Connect with SteveAbout my guest:In November 2022, Mariner Books (HarperCollins) published my new book, Our Man in Tokyo: An American Ambassador and the Countdown to Pearl Harbor. It's a behind-the-scenes narrative about the volatile lead-up to the war with Japan, told from the perspective of the American who knew that country best at the time—Joseph C. Grew, the United States ambassador from 1932 to 1942. In 2019 the National Endowment for the Humanities gave me a grant through its Public Scholar Program to support the research and writing.My previous book, A Splendid Savage: the Restless Life of Frederick Russell Burnham (W. W. Norton, 2016), is the biography of a man once world-famous as "the American scout." Before that, I wrote A Labyrinth of Kingdoms: 10,000 Miles Through Islamic Africa (W. W. Norton, 2012), about Heinrich Barth, one of Africa's greatest explorers yet nearly forgotten today. The book is a nonfiction historical adventure that recreates Barth's incredible five-year, 10,000 mile journey in the 1850s. The Boston Globe named Labyrinth one of the best nonfiction books of 2012.My first book, Code Name Ginger: the Story Behind Segway and Dean Kamen's Quest to Invent a New World (Harvard Business School Press, 2003), was selected by Barnes & Noble for its Discover Great New Writers award.

Links from the show:* Vanished in Vermillion: The Real Story of South Dakota's Most Infamous Cold Case* Vanished in Vermillion website* Connect with Lou* Connect with Ryan Ray* Support the showAbout my guest:Lou Raguse is an experienced, award-winning reporter for KARE 11 News in Minneapolis.Growing up in Wheaton, Minn., Lou's love for current events was fostered through a Jeopardy-style game called “Current Events Challenge.” Social Studies teacher Russ Armstrong would give extra-credit points to students who read the newspaper and scored highest in the game. Also at Wheaton High School, Lou and his friends wrote the school newspaper “The War Whoop,” developing a flair for journalism.That led Lou to the University of Minnesota's journalism program. His senior year, Lou won the national William Randolph Hearst championship in San Francisco — establishing his place early-on as a national-level storyteller.Lou spent three years at KELO in Sioux Falls, S.D., reporting on stories such as the state's first execution in 60 years — a year after it was dramatically halted at the 11th hour. As the cops and courts beat reporter, he covered trials such as Daphne Wright's killing and dismembering of a fellow member of the deaf community. Pay attention and you might catch Lou talking about the case on various national cable crime shows.From Sioux Falls, Lou moved to the Sonoran Desert in Tucson, Ariz., along with his wife Emily, also a reporter. In Tucson, Lou helped launch FOX 11 News at Nine, anchoring the newscast for four years. Along the way, he covered the attempted assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, along with many hot-button border issues.After moving to Buffalo, reporting and anchoring weekends for WIVB, Lou continued to compile awards for his work — through New York State Associated Press, NY Broadcasters Association, and NY Emmys.But his finest awards came in 2013, when Lou and Emily welcomed home their little Buffalo baby Violet, and in 2016 when her little brother Westley was born.In 2015 the family moved to Minneapolis where Lou reports at KARE 11, home of the finest storytelling journalism in the country.At KARE 11, Lou has been at the forefront of some of the nation's biggest stories, leading the coverage of the death of George Floyd and the trials for the officers charged with killing him.One particular story that resonated was the kidnapping of 13-year-old Jayme Closs and her subsequent escape after 88 days in captivity. After covering the criminal case that followed, Lou produced an eight-episode podcast, “88 Days: The Jayme Closs Story,” which peaked in the top 10 on the iTunes Charts.In Feb. 2023, Lou's first true crime book was published by Post Hill Press. “Vanished in Vermillion” flips the script on the genre and reveals all the ways the 40-year search for two missing teenage girls went horribly wrong.While free time is harder to come by with a little one in the house, Lou still enjoys playing Tecmo Super Bowl on NES, competing in fantasy football leagues (including one since 1999), watching NFL football, and archiving home movies and photos from the good old days.

Links from the show:* Roe: The History of a National Obsession* Connect with Mary* Follow Mary on Twitter* Connect with Ryan on Twitter* Subscribe to the showAbout my guest:Mary is one of the world's leading authorities on the legal history of the American abortion debate. She often shares her expertise with news outlets in the United States and around the world.Her new book, Roe: The History of a National Obsession, published by Yale University Press in January 2023. Less than a year after the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, the book considers why Americans have been preoccupied with Roe even after commentators across the ideological spectrum criticized it and the law moved beyond it. The many meanings of Roe show that it obsessed for Americans beyond the polarized politics of abortion. Dueling ideas of Roe, related to sexual violence, the role of courts in democracy, the politics of science, race and much more, exposed the inconsistencies and unsettled issues in our abortion politics. This history allows us to rediscover the nuance in the U.S. abortion debate that has long resided where we would least expect to find it—in the meaning of Roe itself.Ziegler's latest book, Dollars for Life: The Antiabortion Movement and the Fall of the Republican Establishment, was published by Yale in the summer of 2022. Dollars for Life traces how the battle to reverse Roe v. Wade changed the rules of campaign finance, doomed the GOP establishment, and made fundamental changes to American democracy.Mary's first three books offer a kaleidoscopic view of the history of American abortion law and politics. Her first, After Roe: The Lost History of the Abortion Debate, published by Harvard University Press in 2015, mines the history of the decade after the Supreme Court's landmark abortion decision, Roe v. Wade. After Roe won the Thomas J. Wilson Prize from Harvard University Press for best first manuscript.Her second book, Beyond Abortion: Roe v. Wade and the Fight for Privacy, published by Harvard University Press in 2018, studies the forgotten legacy of Roe in debates about sexual liberty, gay and lesbian rights, the treatment of the mentally ill, consumer rights, data privacy, and the right to die.In March of 2020, Cambridge University Press published her most recent book, Abortion and the Law in America: Roe v. Wade to the Present. Abortion and the Law offers a comprehensive legal history of the abortion debate, from the recognition of a right to choose to the likely undoing of Roe today. The book documents a consequential shift in the terms of the abortion debate—toward claims about the basic facts—that only deepened polarization.She is also the author of Reproduction and the Constitution, which Routledge published as part of its seminar series in 2022. She is currently editing the Research Handbook on International Abortion Law for Elgar Press. Her new project, a legal history of the fight for constitutional fetal personhood, is under contract with Yale.A native of Butte, Montana, Mary is a graduate of Harvard University and Harvard Law School. She lives in California with her family. Get full access to Dispatches from the War Room at dispatchesfromthewarroom.substack.com/subscribe
