NATO leaders left Turkiye on Wednesday after reaffirming their commitment to collective defense, but uncertainty now hangs over the alliance following US President Donald Trump's disruptive remarks.北约各国领导人周三离开土耳其，此前他们重申了集体防御承诺，但美国总统唐纳德·特朗普一番极具分裂性的言论，让整个联盟前景蒙上一层不确定性。Divisions over defense spending and the security commitments of the United States have raised questions about the cohesion of the alliance and even whether leaders would convene another summit next year.各国在防务开支、美国安全保障义务两方面产生分歧，外界开始质疑北约内部凝聚力，甚至不确定明年能否如期举办下一届峰会。Although the 32-member bloc sought to project unity through its "ironclad commitment" to the collective defense principle, the summit highlighted increasingly divergent priorities between Washington and its European allies.这个拥有32个成员国的同盟试图借对集体防御原则“牢不可破的承诺”对外塑造团结形象，但本次峰会清晰暴露，美国与欧洲盟友的核心诉求分歧正不断扩大。Trump's repeated criticism of NATO, renewed demands for Europe to shoulder more of the budgetary burden, and public rebukes of individual allies reinforced concern that the trans-Atlantic relationship is becoming more transactional than strategic.特朗普多次公开抨击北约，再度要求欧洲承担更多防务经费压力，还当众点名批评部分盟国，这加深了外界的担忧：跨大西洋关系正在从战略伙伴关系，彻底偏向纯粹的利益交易关系。Speaking in Ankara before joining alliance leaders, Trump made clear that his frustrations with NATO had not eased.在赶赴北约领导人集体会谈前，特朗普于安卡拉发表讲话，直言自己对北约的不满丝毫没有缓解。"Despite the fact that I'm very upset with NATO, that we pay far, far too much, billions and billions of dollars too much — because it's unfair — we protect them, but they're not there for us," he said.他表示：“我对北约非常不满，我们付出的代价实在过高，白白多掏了数十亿美元，这非常不公平。我们为他们提供安全庇护，可他们却不愿对等付出。”Trump also renewed his call for US control of Greenland, an autonomous territory of NATO member Denmark, while criticizing Spain over defense spending and its position on the Iran war, even threatening to cut off all trade with Madrid.特朗普再度提出由美国接管格陵兰岛（北约成员国丹麦的自治领地），同时指责西班牙防务投入不足、在伊朗冲突上立场与美国相悖，甚至威胁断绝与马德里的全部贸易。The remarks contrasted sharply with efforts by NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and European leaders to present a united front, underscoring growing disagreements over burden-sharing, strategic priorities and the future balance of responsibilities within the alliance.这番表态和北约秘书长马克·吕特、欧洲各国领导人力求展现统一战线的努力形成强烈反差，凸显各方在防务分摊、战略重心、联盟权责分配等问题上分歧持续加剧。Domestic pressures国内层面的压力Tom Harper, a lecturer in international relations at the University of East London, said the dispute over defense spending has become increasingly tied to domestic political and economic pressures.东伦敦大学国际关系讲师汤姆·哈珀表示，这场防务开支争端，如今和各国国内政治、经济压力深度绑定。European governments face mounting political risks if higher military spending comes at the cost of public services, Harper said.哈珀称，欧洲各国如果以削减公共服务为代价增加军费，将面临巨大的国内政治风险。"If increased defense spending coincides with cuts to social services and education, this will likely impose domestic costs on European governments, which they may be unwilling to pay, especially should they be facing election campaigns," he said.他说：“倘若增加国防开支就要削减社保、教育投入，各国政府都不愿承担这样的国内代价，尤其是恰逢大选周期时。”"You could say it's an example of the age-old debate over guns or butter."“这就是经典的‘大炮与黄油'取舍难题。”Harper also argued that the economic benefits of increased military spending could flow disproportionately to the US.哈珀还提出，军费扩容带来的经济红利，绝大部分会流向美国。"It is quite likely that American companies would be the primary beneficiaries of increased spending, which is one of the reasons why Washington has been keen for NATO members to increase their defense expenditure," he said.他表示：“美国企业大概率会成为军费上涨的主要受益者，这也是华盛顿极力推动北约各国提高防务开支的原因之一。”Matthew Arnold, a policy analyst and visiting fellow at the London School of Economics and Political Science, questioned whether NATO members could realistically sustain significantly higher defense spending.伦敦政治经济学院政策分析师、访问学者马修·阿诺德质疑，北约各国是否有能力长期维持大幅上涨的军费。"The fiscal concerns are serious," he said, warning that sustained increases in military expenditure could worsen debt burdens and social tensions, while much of the increased procurement would initially benefit large defense contractors, many of them based in the US.他称：“各国财政隐患十分严峻。持续增加军费会加重债务压力、激化社会矛盾，而且新增军备采购订单，初期大多流入美国大型军工企业。”Challenge to cohesion联盟凝聚力遭遇挑战Lawrence Loh, director of the Center for Governance and Sustainability at the National University of Singapore Business School, said NATO now faces a broader challenge to its cohesion.新加坡国立大学商学院治理与可持续发展中心主任Lawrence Loh表示，北约整体凝聚力正遭遇更深层次的考验。"The NATO summit comes at a critical time when the alliance faces an emerging legitimacy crisis," Loh said. "With pressure from Trump, NATO risks bowing to this strongman's demands for increased defense spending," he said. "It is evolving into a transaction grouping of countries that weigh their respective interests with just one member — the US."他表示：“本届北约峰会恰逢联盟合法性危机显现的关键节点。在特朗普的施压下，北约被迫迎合这位强硬领导人提高军费的要求，联盟逐渐沦为纯粹的利益交换集团，各国凡事只权衡对美单方利弊。”The alliance is simultaneously grappling with economic slowdown, political fragmentation and social integration challenges across Europe, while also facing criticism over its limited effectiveness in responding to conflicts in the Middle East, he added.他补充道，北约同时要应对欧洲多国经济低迷、政治分裂、社会融合难题，还因应对中东冲突收效有限饱受诟病。"All in all, NATO is now caught between a rock — the US — and a hard place, which is all the region-based anguishes in Europe," he said.他说：“总而言之，北约如今进退两难：一边是步步紧逼的美国，另一边是欧洲层出不穷的各类地区矛盾。”Several analysts believe Trump's approach could ultimately accelerate Europe's pursuit of greater strategic autonomy.多名分析人士认为，特朗普的行事风格，最终会倒逼欧洲加速推进战略自主。Angel Saz-Carranza, director of the EsadeGeo Center for Global Economy and Geopolitics in Spain, said NATO will likely evolve over the next decade.西班牙ESADE全球经济与地缘政治中心主任Angel Saz-Carranza表示，未来十年北约格局将会迎来演变。"Reliance on the US will diminish as European Union capabilities increase, which will gradually rebalance the trans-Atlantic relationship," he said.他说：“随着欧盟自身防务实力提升，欧洲对美国的依赖会逐步降低，跨大西洋力量平衡将重新调整。”Pedro Brinca, an associate professor of macroeconomics at Nova School of Business and Economics in Portugal, also expects the alliance to become increasingly European in character.葡萄牙诺瓦商学院宏观经济学副教授佩德罗·布林卡也预判，北约的欧洲属性会持续增强。However, he cautioned that Europe's ability to shoulder greater responsibility will depend not only on spending more but also on spending more efficiently. Fragmented national procurement would deliver less security than coordinated European investment, he added.但他同时提醒，欧洲想要承担更多安全责任，不能只单纯增加军费，更要提升资金使用效率。各国分散独立采购军备，所能获得的安全收益，远不如欧洲协同统一投入。Although NATO leaders departed Ankara reiterating their commitment to collective defense, the summit illustrated that the alliance's greatest challenge may no longer be external threats alone, but maintaining political trust among its own members.尽管北约各国领导人离开安卡拉时再度重申集体防御义务，但本次峰会充分说明，联盟最大的难题早已不只是外部威胁，维系成员国之间的政治互信才是核心。The final declaration said the leaders "look forward to our next meeting", but without committing to a date.峰会最终宣言仅写明各国领导人“期待下一次会晤”，并未敲定具体举办时间。divergence分歧、立场背离sow埋下、滋生（矛盾、裂痕）discord不和、分歧、内部裂痕NATO北大西洋公约组织，简称北约summit（国际）峰会

*** Content warnings: Sexual assault, drug use, suicide, homophobia ***Over a 16-month period between 2014 and 2015, four young men—Anthony Walgate, Gabriel Kovari, Daniel Whitworth and Jack Taylor—each died under unusual circumstances in the East London suburb of Barking.While the police initially palmed the deaths off as isolated incidents, the families of the four men believed something suspicious was at play. All of the men had been found near or in a churchyard, all had died from dangerously high levels of GHB, and none had a reason to be in the area.

China's national football team may not have qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but the country remains a major contributor to the tournament through its manufacturing industry, which has a key role in producing a large share of the official merchandise sold to fans worldwide.中国国家男子足球队虽未晋级2026年国际足联世界杯，但依托本国制造业，中国仍是本届赛事的重要支撑方；全球球迷所购的官方周边商品，很大一部分都由中国生产。The tournament, staged across 16 host cities in the United States, Canada and Mexico, will run from June 11 to July 19. This year's World Cup is bigger than ever as it will feature 48 football teams, instead of the usual 32 teams.本届世界杯在美国、加拿大、墨西哥共计16座主办城市举办，赛事周期为6月11日至7月19日。本届世界杯规模创下历史新高，参赛球队由往届的32支扩充至48支。Much of the World Cup-themed merchandise and souvenirs bought by fans was manufactured in Yiwu International Trade City, in Yiwu, Zhejiang province, famous as the world's largest wholesale small commodity market.球迷选购的大部分世界杯主题周边与纪念商品，都产自浙江义乌国际商贸城，这里是全球规模最大的小商品批发市场。Mike Smith, 60, from East London, was in New York shopping with his wife at an official FIFA World Cup 2026 store temporarily located on the ground-floor of the plush mall The Shops at Columbus Circle in Manhattan.60岁的迈克·史密斯来自伦敦东区，他和妻子正在纽约曼哈顿哥伦布圆环高端购物中心一层的2026世界杯官方临时门店购物。Smith told China Daily: "There's a nice selection of things in here. I expect a lot of the merchandise is made in China. It is good as that means they're still a part of the tournament."史密斯接受《中国日报》采访时表示：“店里商品种类十分丰富。我猜大部分周边都是中国制造，这是件好事，说明中国始终参与着这项赛事。”"We have to get our grandson a T-shirt in a large or he won't be very happy with us.

A decade on from the United Kingdom making one of the most consequential political decisions in its modern history, the debate over Brexit remains far from settled.距离英国做出其现代史上最具深远影响的政治决策之一已过去十年，但围绕脱欧的争论远未平息。On June 23, 2016, voters in the UK narrowly backed leaving the European Union by a margin of 52 percent to 48 percent, ending more than four decades of bloc membership.2016年6月23日，英国选民以52%对48%的微弱优势支持脱离欧盟，结束了超过四十年的欧盟成员国身份。Supporters of Brexit, as it is known, promised greater sovereignty, tighter control of immigration, and new global opportunities, but 10 years later, its legacy remains fiercely contested.脱欧的支持者们曾承诺，脱欧将带来更大的主权、更严格的移民管控以及新的全球机遇。但十年之后，脱欧留下的影响依然备受争议。Speaking at an event hosted by Chatham House on Monday to mark the anniversary, Michel Barnier, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator from 2016 to 2019, said he has yet to see compelling evidence of any clear benefits resulting from Brexit.曾在2016年至2019年担任欧盟首席脱欧谈判代表的米歇尔·巴尼耶，周一在查塔姆研究所（英国皇家国际事务研究所）举办的周年纪念活动上表示，他尚未看到任何有力的证据表明脱欧带来了明显的好处。"During the last 10 years, nobody has been able to provide me with proof of any added value from Brexit," Barnier said.“过去十年里，没有人能向我提供任何证明脱欧带来了附加价值的证据，”巴尼耶说。He described Brexit as a "lose-lose game", although he cautioned against blaming all of UK's current challenges on leaving the EU.他将脱欧形容为一场“双输的游戏”，但他也提醒说，不应将英国当前面临的所有挑战都归咎于脱欧。"I do not believe that all of the UK's current difficulties are linked or provoked by the Brexit," he said. "However, I do think these problems are harder to solve because of Brexit, because the UK has left the single market."“我不认为英国当前的所有困难都与脱欧有关或是脱欧直接引发的，”他说，“但我确实认为，由于脱欧，由于英国离开了单一市场，这些问题变得更难解决。”Tom Harper, a lecturer in international relations at the University of East London, said Brexit highlighted the contradiction of UK being "European, but not of it".东伦敦大学国际关系讲师汤姆·哈珀表示，脱欧凸显了英国“身处欧洲，却不属于欧洲”的矛盾。"For Remainers, Brexit has not been the catastrophe they often predicted," Harper said. "But for Brexiteers, the promise of Brexit has not come to pass."“对于留欧派来说，脱欧并未造成他们常预测的那种灾难，”哈珀说，“但对于脱欧派来说，脱欧的承诺也并未兑现。”According to Harper, Brexit has reduced UK's influence by removing it from decision-making within the EU, although cooperation with European allies has intensified in areas such as defense and foreign policy.哈珀认为，脱欧使英国脱离了欧盟内部的决策过程，从而削弱了其影响力，尽管英欧在防务和外交政策等领域的合作有所加强。Nando Sigona, director of the Institute for Research into International Migration and Superdiversity at the University of Birmingham, offered a similarly nuanced assessment.伯明翰大学国际移民与超级多样性研究所主任南多·西戈纳给出了同样细致的评估。He said Brexit increased the UK's formal regulatory autonomy, but reduced its influence over European decision-making.他表示，脱欧增强了英国在法规制定上的正式自主权，但削弱了其对欧洲决策的影响力。"Britain remains an important diplomatic and military actor, yet its economic competitiveness and ability to shape regional rules have generally weakened," Sigona said.“英国仍然是一个重要的外交和军事行为体，但其经济竞争力和塑造区域规则的能力总体上已经减弱，”西戈纳说。"Sovereignty was strengthened in a legal sense but arguably diminished in practical terms," Sigona said.“主权在法律意义上得到了加强，但在实际层面上可以说被削弱了，”西戈纳说。The future relationship between UK and the EU is also evolving. Treasury minister Spencer Livermore recently told the House of Lords that a future return to the EU was "an inevitability" and argued that re-entry would ultimately be in UK's economic interest.英国与欧盟的未来关系也在演变中。英国财政部部长斯宾塞·利弗莫尔最近在上议院表示，未来重返欧盟是“不可避免的”，并认为重新加入最终符合英国的经济利益。Public opinion also appears to be shifting. Recent polls show a consistent majority of Britons now support rejoining the EU, while younger voters are significantly more pro-European.公众舆论似乎也正在发生变化。最近的民调显示，目前持续有多数英国人支持重新加入欧盟，而年轻选民则明显更加亲欧。According to Ipsos, 68 percent of Britons aged 18 to 34 favor rejoining the bloc.根据益普索的调查，18至34岁的英国人中，有68%支持重新加入欧盟。Barnier stressed that any decision would belong solely to UK voters. "The door is open," he said, "but it will be a sovereign choice of the UK people."巴尼耶强调，任何决定都将完全取决于英国选民。“大门是敞开的，”他说，“但这将是英国人民的主权选择。”contradiction /ˌkɒntrəˈdɪkʃən/矛盾catastrophe /kəˈtæstrəfi/灾难come to pass /kʌm tə pɑːs/实现，发生intensified /ɪnˈtensɪfaɪd/加强的

Most leaders don't think of themselves as creative. Al Gordon says that's the lie keeping you stuck. Al, founder of Renaissance, lead pastor of SAINT in East London, talks about why creativity is the church's lost superpower, how stress and algorithms are quietly killing your imagination, and what it actually takes to unlock creativity in yourself, your team, and your church.

Max Rocha is the founder and chef of Café Cecilia in London. He was born in Dublin into a family of creatives. He started working in the music industry, but felt he needed something else in his life. After attending a bread baking course in London, he ventured into the restaurant world, working at iconic London restaurants like The River Café, St. John, and Spring. In 2021 he opened his restaurant Café Cecilia in East London. The restaurant quickly became a hit with locals and food critics. The restaurant was designed with Max's dad John Rocha, the food leans on the family's Irish heritage and the staff uniforms are designed by his sister Simone Rocha. In his podcast, Max Rocha will tell about his journey from Dublin to London, from the music industry to the restaurant kitchen and from a stressful life with addiction to running a sustainable restaurant in balance with his life. He will also reveal his favourite places in London, Dublin and the rest of the world.

In this episode of Mind the Kids, the podcast from the Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health (ACAMH), host Dr. Clara Faria — academic clinical fellow in child psychiatry — is joined by Alina Marinca, PhD student in Psychological Medicine at Queen Mary University of London and clinical psychologist, whose research is funded by the London Interdisciplinary School of Science Doctoral Training Partnership.Alina shares findings from her JCPP Advances paper  ‘Sleep disturbance as a transdiagnostic marker of children's mental health difficulties: A network analysis of item-level associations between different types of sleep problems and different behavioural and emotional symptoms'.The study draws on data from the Development of Emotional Resilience observational cohort — a school-based sample of over 500 primary school children aged 7 to 12 from East London, one of the most ethnically diverse and economically deprived urban cohorts in UK child mental health research.Using network analysis — a powerful statistical approach that maps relationships between symptoms simultaneously — the study examines how specific sleep problems relate to emotional difficulties (anxiety and depression) and behavioural difficulties (hyperactivity, inattention, and conduct problems) in middle childhood, moving beyond the composite sleep scores that have dominated previous research.The headline finding is striking: sleep anxiety and general anxiety emerge as the most central, influential nodes in the network — sitting at the core of children's emotional and behavioural difficulties and functioning as a transdiagnostic mechanism across multiple mental health conditions. Emotional symptoms were found to be more tightly interwoven with sleep problems than behavioural symptoms, a developmentally meaningful finding with direct implications for how we assess and treat sleep disturbances in primary school-aged children.Alina and Clara discuss what this means for school-based mental health intervention, why sleep should no longer be treated as a secondary or peripheral feature of child mental health, and how a modular, targeted approach focusing on sleep-related anxiety could benefit children, parents, educators, and clinicians alike. The episode closes with a preview of Alina's next research phase: a longitudinal network analysis tracking whether these core sleep and anxiety symptoms remain stable over time.Essential listening for anyone working in child mental health, sleep research, school-based intervention, or child and adolescent psychiatry.Read the CAMH journal paper ‘Sleep disturbance as a transdiagnostic marker of children's mental health difficulties: A network analysis of item-level associations between different types of sleep problems and different behavioural and emotional symptoms'Alina A.

AW² is an international architecture and design agency based in Paris. Réda Amalou, a graduate of the University of East London, founded the agency in 1997. Stéphanie Ledoux, a graduate of the Ecole Spéciale d'Architecture in Paris, joined him in 2000 and became a partner in 2003. Since then, the two partners have been at the helm of the agency, and are personally involved in the architectural design of each project. The types of program are numerous, despite a consistent development in the field of high-end hotels.This is how AW² comes into contact with cultures near and far. Travels and projects far from the basics, define the contours of their architectural approach and what they are today. The basis of this approach is first and foremost an "open" approach to design, based on the notions of idea and context. The idea being the origin - their vision - of the project, and the context the identified elements that nourish it.

Les typologies de programmes sont nombreuses, en dépit d'un développement conséquent dans le domaine de l'hôtellerie haut de gamme.Ainsi AW² se construit au contact de cultures proches et lointaines. Les voyages, les projets loin des bases, définissent les contours de leur démarche architecturale et de ce qu'ils sont aujourd'hui. La base de cette démarche s'affirme d'abord dans une approche ‘ouverte' du projet qui se base sur les notions d'idée et de contexte. L'idée étant l'origine – leur vision – du projet et le contexte les éléments identifiés qui la nourrissent. Dans ce numéro de Com d'Archi, à l'heure où les voyages renvoient aux notions de frugalité, de circuits courts, d'écologie, de quelle manière une agence comme AW2 assure la transition ?

Al Gordon is a Christian leader, pastor, and voice in the global creative movement within the church. He is the founder of Renaissance, a movement focused on helping artists, leaders, and innovators reclaim their God-given creative calling. He leads SAINT, a church in East London with a mission to bring hope and renewal to the city. He is known for working at the intersection of faith, culture and creativity. He has collaborated with artists, musicians, and designers, and is a sought-after communicator in Christian creative spaces. Al consistently pushes one big idea: The church should not just consume culture—it should create it, becoming “a cathedral of creativity.” And because we believe in creativity here at the Art of Holiness, we wanted to learn from Al what it means to be live within our created design. 

When two vulnerable women vanish from the streets of East London within weeks of each other, detectives uncover a chilling predator hiding in plain sight. Derek Brown, a convicted rapist and serial sex attacker, targeted Xiao Mei Guo, a mother selling DVDs to support her family, and Bonnie Barrett, a young woman struggling on the margins of society. Both were last seen with Brown before disappearing forever.Despite extensive searches, neither woman's body has ever been found. Inside Brown's flat, investigators discovered traces of blood, evidence of a frantic clean up, and purchases suggesting careful planning. As police piece together the case, they begin to fear Brown was seeking infamy, deliberately hunting victims in Whitechapel, the infamous territory of Jack the Ripper.A haunting story of loss, vulnerability and a killer who may have been stopped before striking again.CREDITS: Presenters: Geoffrey and Molly WansellProducer: Peter Shevlin https://pod60.com/Artwork: George LeighMusic: Dan WansellCONTACT: Twitter: @BloodTies_PodInstagram:@bloodtiespodcastEmail: bloodties.podcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bloodtiespodcastSupport: patreon.com/bloodtiespodcastPlease complete our survey if you have time: http://bit.ly/bloodtiespodcast-survey Hosted on Acast.

Last week on Open Line, a caller Lukhanyo from Northriding phoned Anele looking for one thing and one thing only: Tomato Sausage. Not just any sausage. Tomato Sausage which is sold in East London. It got us thinking about those products that simply can't be replaced. You know the ones. People tell you, "Just get something similar," but it's never quite the same. For some people it's a Shamrock Pie. For Frankie, it's Oros. For Anele, it's asking for Sprite and being handed lemonade instead. So what's your Tomato Sausage? That one thing you can only get from a specific place, brand, restaurant, or shop and every alternative just feels like a downgrade?

When Frederick Douglass left Belfast in 1845, only seven years after escaping slavery, he declared: "Wherever else I feel myself to be a stranger, I will remember I have a home in Belfast." That remarkable statement from a Black abolitionist finding radical welcome in a 19th-century Irish city is the beating heart of North Star, the immersive musical and theatrical experience that Northern Ireland-based DJ, broadcaster, and creative producer Kwame Daniels brings to New York's Irish Arts Center, June 3–21.Irish Stew cohosts Martin Nutty and John Lee met Kwame at the Irish Arts Center a few days before opening night and recorded this episode in the IAC LibraryHe relates that his journey to Belfast began in a Ghanaian household in East London, where identity was worn proudly inside the home and navigated carefully beyond it. "As soon as we entered the house again, it was absolutely back to the background, the roots, and the culture," he recalls. "But outside, there was almost a code-switch going on. We were firm in our identity, and yet we were also aware of our surroundings and how we had to move within them." That same fluency served him when he arrived in Derry in 1997 and found a city divided along lines he didn't yet understand. Music became his passport across the sectarian divide. "I was bringing in sets of decks (the equipment DJs use to play, control, and manipulate music). That's the conversation, all the other conversations come out of that."Kwame relates that Douglass's Belfast story with his evocation of finding a home in the city hit him with the force of revelation. "A Black man, an enslaved man on the run in 1845 and that's his response to being in Belfast. That has to be the starting point for us to reset."The result is a 77-minute production, one minute for every year of Douglass's life, an immersive experience fusing hip-hop, jazz, gospel, classical, and electronic music with spoken word, choral arrangements, and the honest voices of young people from both Belfast and New York. "You're going to be presented with a level of musicianship that is extraordinary, and it's unlike anything you've ever seen."North Star runs June 3–21 at the Irish Arts Center, tickets at irishartscenter.org.Next up from Irish Stew, Fresh Stew LIVE with Terry Golway on his new thriller Terror From America: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, recorded before sold out audience in the Malachy McCourt Room at Ernie O'Malley's Pub in NYC with the fiddler Eileen McLain and actor Mick Mellamphy enhancing the experience.LINKSNORTH STARIrish Arts Center info and ticketsInstagramKWAME DANIELSInstagramFacebookLinkedInORGANIZATIONSBounce CultureSolabIRISH STEW LINKSWebsite Home PageFacebookInstagramLinkedInMedia Partner: IrishCentralEpisode Details: Season 8, Episode 18; Total Episode Count: 159Send us Fan Mail

On this week's episode, Al sits down with Jermaine from Stately Home Developments, a luxury renovation and construction brand built from the ground up over the last five years. Jermaine's path into the trades is one of the most unexpected we've come across. Starting out on weekends with his granddad doing kitchen and bathroom fits in East London, he quickly realised construction was where he belonged. But before going all in, he took a serious detour into the world of acting, extra work on Spider-Man sets, BBC and ITV productions, film festivals, networking with directors, and eventually a gig in Atlanta after living in Malta and South Africa. When Covid hit, he came back to the UK and went full steam ahead with Stately Home Developments, and hasn't looked back. In this episode, we cover how social media has transformed the way he wins work, why putting your face to the brand gives you the upper hand before you even arrive on site, what he learned watching a terrible builder somehow win premium jobs, the real cost of running a construction business on relationships and mental load, and why investing in yourself early is always cheaper than waiting.

What if the most powerful tool for mental health recovery isn't a medication — it's your metabolism?  Dr. Erin Louise Bellamy joins Dr. Vera Tarman for a deep dive into ketogenic metabolic therapy: what it is, how it works, and why it may be one of the most underutilized interventions in both psychiatric care and food addiction recovery.  Dr. Bellamy is a chartered psychologist, CEO of IKRT (International Ketogenic Research & Therapy), and a research fellow at the University of East London. She has been researching and applying ketogenic metabolic therapy in clinical settings since 2014, with a background that bridges eating disorders, psychiatric research, and metabolic health.  In this episode, Vera and Erin discuss:  How Erin went from eating disorder and alexithymia research to ketogenic metabolic psychiatry — and why the field's "biopsychosocial" model was missing the bio  The difference between metabolic psychiatry, ketogenic therapy, and therapeutic carbohydrate restriction — and why the terminology matters  What carbohydrate range actually produces therapeutic ketosis (and why "dirty keto" doesn't cut it)  The shared mechanistic pathways across psychiatric diagnoses — including mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, and neuroinflammation  Why antipsychotic medications create metabolic dysfunction, and how ketogenic therapy can help offset those side effects  The GABA/glutamate shift that makes ketones naturally anxiolytic — and why this may work differently than the serotonin model of depression  The "buffer effect": what it feels like to be in ketosis when you're a food addict — and why some people describe it as a pane of glass between themselves and a trigger food  How ketogenic therapy compares to GLP-1 medications (Ozempic/Wegovy) for reducing food noise — and Erin's concerns about the long-term research  MCT oil vs. exogenous ketones: when each is useful, and when exogenous ketones are counterproductive  Applying ketogenic therapy to people with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and co-occurring food addiction  How to support vegan or plant-based clients who want to pursue ketogenic therapy  Why the first week matters most — and how to help clients through withdrawal without triggering a binge  The 19-person IKRT group program published in Frontiers — and what's coming next in the research  Connect with Dr. Erin Bellamy:

Nuala is joined by Katy Daley-McLean, who was captain of the England team when they won the 2014 Women's Rugby World Cup.Folk and classical singer-songwriter Olivia Chaney has collaborated with some of the biggest names in folk music, including Shirley Collins and Richard Thompson, and her The Queen of Hearts collaborative album with the Decemberists was Grammy nominated. She discusses her current album and how it felt to have her music included in the box office hit film Wuthering Heights.Vocal Break: On Women, Music and Power is the title of the new book from Lauren Elkin. For millennia women singing were cast as sirens: mythical creatures who lured sailors to their death. But in this part memoir, part feminist manifesto, Lauren Elkin explores how women from Cyndi Lauper to feminist punk rockstar Kathleen Hanna to Beyonce have used their voices as women to defy convention, genre, capitalism, racism and sexism.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Andrea Kidd

Debutants David Livitt and Joe Lankester join us for the latest episode of The Tax Factor, exploring a mix of global policy updates, unusual living arrangements and a standout VAT tribunal case. The episode begins with new OECD guidance on global remote working, looking at how businesses can manage the tax risks of employees working across borders and why permanent establishment remains a key concern for internationally mobile workforces. David and Joe also discuss reports surrounding Green Party deputy leader Zack Polanski and questions over whether the correct council tax was being paid on his houseboat in East London. They explore how “sole or main residence” rules can create unexpected tax issues in modern living arrangements. The episode concludes with a look at the latest VAT case involving mega marshmallows, and what it reveals about the challenges of classifying modern products within traditional tax rules.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's episode is the final in Season One of AFTER ORDER. It was recorded as a live show in collaboration with the Alameda Institute at the Art House in Bethnal Green, East London, earlier this week. The conversation is hosted by Juliano Fiori (Alameda), featuring James Meadway (Macrodose), Clara Mattei (University of Tulsa), and Aditya Chakrabortty (The Guardian).Together they explore the idea that we are no longer living between stable political and economic systems, but through an era defined by overlapping and ongoing crises.From economic turbulence to geopolitical fragmentation, many of the frameworks that once made sense of the world are breaking down. The discussion asked what might replace them - and how we rethink political economy for a world shaped by uncertainty, conflict, and rapid technological change.Across the evening, the panel reflected on what these shifts mean for power, politics, and the possibilities for building a different future.It is your support that makes this show possible.

Huge controversy at the London Stadium as Arsenal snatch a massive three points away to West Ham. The Hammers thought they had rescued a dramatic injury-time equaliser, only for VAR to rule it out after a lengthy review. Was it the correct decision, and could VAR ultimately decide the Premier League title race? Meanwhile, Manchester City kept the pressure on with a win over Brentford to remain five points behind with a game in hand. But has that costly draw against Everton F.C. already sealed their fate? Elsewhere, Gary, Alan & Micah discuss AFC Bournemouth's incredible rise towards Champions League football and debate whether Andoni Iraola is making the right decision by leaving at the end of the season.

“There's this idea that you [can] sail your way to success or have some overnight success or kind of come upon success relatively easily. And that has just never, ever been.”Amol Rajan speaks to entrepreneur and businesswoman Emma Grede about the trade-offs we have to make to get to where we want to be in life.Emma Grede is co-founder of the clothing brand Skims, which she created with her husband Jens and Kim Kardashian. From ordinary beginnings in East London to the forefront of global consumer brands and social influence in LA, Emma Grede argues that focus, trade-offs and relentless effort matter more than comfort if you are to succeed. She says that opportunity still exists, if you're willing to chase it.Thank you to the Radical with Amol Rajan team for its help in making this programme.

Before she became the entrepreneur behind Kardashian-founded brands Good American and Skims, Emma Grede was a kid from Plaistow with severe dyslexia, few qualifications, and a fierce belief that she could build a bigger life for herself.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with Emma to trace the story behind her remarkable rise- from helping raise her younger sisters in East London and struggling in a school system that never seemed to fit, to building a career in fashion through sheer audacity, instinct and relentless hard work.Emma reflects on the work ethic she inherited from her mother, the unpaid placements and early setbacks that taught her how business really worked, and the confidence that drove her to knock on doors others were too intimidated to approach. She explains how she discovered her gift for negotiation, why relationships became the foundation of her success, and how those instincts helped her build businesses alongside the Kardashians that would go on to reshape modern fashion and culture.They discuss class, ambition and social mobility; the difference between talent and opportunity; the myths we tell about success; and why Emma believes women need a more honest conversation about work, money and power.Sharp, funny and full of hard-won insight, this is a conversation about ambition, reinvention and what it really takes to get to the top.Find out more about START WITH YOURSELF: A New Vision for Work & Life by Emma Grede hereFull Disclosure is a Global ProductionListen or watch every Friday on Global Player, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/fulldisclosure Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

Entrepreneur Emma Grede joins Kristen Welker for a Meet the Moment conversation about her journey from a girl in East London to one of America's richest self-made women, working alongside the Kardashian family. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Today's guest is a female billionaire: the co-founder and CEO of the Good American inclusive fashion brand and a founding partner of SKIMS, the shapewear and loungewear company.

Now, she's publishing her first book, Start With Yourself, in which she explores everything from building personal resilience to developing self-forgiveness. In this episode we discuss her East London mindset, her famously controversial (!) attitude towards work-life balance, being a mother of four (her twins were born via a surrogate) and her experience of miscarriage. Female ambition, fertility, the discomfort of hard work…I'm so grateful to Emma for opening up on subjects that are so often shrouded in silence. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 03:02 Ambition Loves Discomfort 05:57 Growing Up East London 07:31 ‘Too Ambitious' 08:34 East London Business Code 11:15 An Employee Mindset 19:13 Work-Life Balance Myth 26:34 Fearless Hustle Mindset 27:53 ITB Rise and Influencers 29:08 LA Office Ego Crash 31:40 Parenting as a Team 32:56 Fertility Reality Check 38:19 Good American Expansion Misstep 46:25 Mother's Influence

Emma Grede's most surprising confession is that she never saw her childhood in East London as a disadvantage. While raising her younger sisters, skipping school, and watching Oprah to find her blueprint for life, she was quietly building the belief that she was more capable than anyone around her. That unshakable self-trust is the thread running through everything she has built, from Good American to SKIMS to the Obama Foundation board. For anyone who has ever let fear, self-doubt, or the weight of other people's opinions keep them stuck, Emma's story is a direct challenge to reconsider what is actually holding you back. This conversation will show you how to stop measuring yourself against everyone else's standards, put money at the center of your plan without shame, manage your emotions like a skill rather than a sentence, and build a life that is entirely your own design. The Greatness Playbook: The Self-Led Success Edition Emma's book: Start With Yourself: A New Vision for Work & Life Emma's Instagram Emma's Website In this episode you will: Discover how to reframe your hardest life experiences as the very thing that makes you exceptional rather than the thing that holds you back. Learn why putting money at the center of your goals is not greed but the clearest path to freedom, and how to stop apologizing for it. Understand the practical steps Emma used to manage anger and emotional reactivity starting at age nineteen, and how that discipline became one of her greatest competitive advantages. Break free from the trap of other people's opinions by building a personal scorecard rooted in your own values, not what the world expects of you.

So much of what you need can be found within, but ambition has to find you working. Just ask Emma Grede, one of today's most influential and highly accomplished self-made women. Seemingly born rogue and unbothered by the rules, she and Sarah Jakes Roberts peel back the layers of how an East London upbringing taught her to move in truth, no matter the room. And let's not romanticize the process, sis. You'll face unenjoyable work, self-limiting beliefs that aren't yours, and emotions that take advantage of your patterns. But our girl Emma made it clear.
