The World Cup just got a halftime show. Madonna, Shakira, BTS, Coldplay's Chris Martin curating the whole thing — like it's the Super Bowl now. And honestly? That's kind of the perfect entry point into this episode. We commercialize everything we love — Christmas, Eid, now apparently the one sport that was never supposed to need a marketing department — and it's worth asking what we lose every time we do that. But underneath the glitz, this World Cup is also happening in a pretty fractured world: a Somali referee turned away at the border, fans nervous about ICE outside the stadium, a tournament selling itself as “the world coming together” while a lot of the world quietly isn't invited. Two different stories, same event, and I think they're more connected than they look. Let's get into it.

What if every sheep could tell you more about its performance, profitability and potential?Electronic Identification (eID) tags are becoming a major focus for Australian sheep producers, but the opportunities go well beyond meeting regulatory requirements.In this episode of The Pastoral Poddy, we explore how producers can use eID technology, data collection and on-farm equipment to make better management decisions. Host Kieran Smith is joined by sheep producer Will MCalpine from Salisbury near Marra, and veterinarian and sheep production advisor Tim Gole from For Flocks Sake.They discuss how Will has integrated eID into his Merino enterprise to improve fertility, selection decisions and weight gain monitoring, as well as how technologies like automated drafting and in-field weighing can support more targeted management.Tim shares insights from working with sheep producers across Australia, including where the biggest productivity gains may come from, what data is worth collecting, and practical advice for avoiding common technology headaches.Whether you're new to eID or looking to get more value from your existing system, this episode explores how turning individual animal data into decisions can help build more productive and resilient sheep businesses.Episode Guide(00:00) Why eID technology is changing sheep production(02:00) Will's Merino operation and farming journey(04:00) Tim's pathway into sheep data and eID(07:00) Using eID for breeding and selection decisions(10:00) Real-time weight data and better decisions(14:00) Finding productivity gains through data(18:00) What sheep producers should start collecting(22:00) Lessons learned implementing eID technology(25:00) Advice for producers starting their eID journey(28:00) Setting yourself up for technology success(35:00) Managing large datasets and making decisions(40:00) Final thoughts on the future of eIDFor a transcript of this episode: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13V5LCrjsmNuec17j6ojGHKKKsonIKinP/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=103831811474414598304&rtpof=true&sd=trueThis podcast series is produced by Grow Love Project and hosted by Western Local Land Services, supported through funding from the NSW Government.

In this episode, we get into Eid al-Adha, comparing how Algeria and the UAE handle the slaughter, the hygiene, the rituals, and how our kids responded to witnessing it all for the first time. We then debate EVs and hybrids in the UK, breaking down the charging infrastructure problems, hidden costs, and the political incentives propping up the "green" agenda. We close on AI and fatherhood, job displacement, deepfakes, the creeping "AI god" narrative, and how to stay a present, grounded father in a world that's moving faster than anyone can keep up with.

Transcript:Hi: दिल्ली के दिल में स्थित, नाज़ुक और शांतिपूर्ण कमल मंदिर अपने सुंदर बागों के साथ खड़ा था, जैसे शहर के शोरगुल भरे माहौल में एक शांति की जगह।En: In the heart of Delhi, the delicate and peaceful Lotus Temple stood with its beautiful gardens, like a place of tranquility in the city's noisy environment.Hi: दोपहर का समय था, घंटी की आवाज़ और नमाज़ के लिए बुलावे के बीच, लोकोपकारिता का माहौल छा रहा था, क्योंकि ईद अल-फ़ितर करीब आ गई थी।En: It was the afternoon, and amidst the sound of bells and calls for prayer, a mood of generosity prevailed as Eid al-Fitr was approaching.Hi: आश्चर्यजनक चमकदार धूप में, आरव, मीरा और राकेश ने मंदिर के बाहर मुलाकात की।En: In the amazing bright sunlight, Aarav, Meera, and Rakesh met outside the temple.Hi: आरव का दिल तेजी से धड़क रहा था।En: Aarav's heart was beating fast.Hi: मीरा उसकी पुरानी मित्र थी, लेकिन आरव के दिल में उसके लिए कुछ खास जगह थी।En: Meera was an old friend of his, but she held a special place in Aarav's heart.Hi: हाल के दिनों में, उसने मीरा को अक्सर सिरदर्द और चक्कर आने की शिकायत करते देखा था।En: In recent days, he had often seen Meera complaining about headaches and dizziness.Hi: आज वह निश्चित था कि वह यह सुनिश्चित करेगा कि मीरा सुरक्षित और स्वस्थ रहे।En: Today he was determined to make sure Meera was safe and healthy.Hi: मीरा अपनी सामान्य मुस्कान के साथ आई, लेकिन उसकी आँखों में थकान के संकेत स्पष्ट थे।En: Meera arrived with her usual smile, but signs of fatigue were clear in her eyes.Hi: "क्या बात है, मीरा?En: "What's the matter, Meera?"Hi: " आरव ने धीरे से पूछा।En: Aarav asked gently.Hi: "कुछ नहीं, मैं ठीक हूँ," उसने चलते हुए जवाब दिया।En: "Nothing, I'm fine," she replied while walking.Hi: लेकिन उसका चेहरा उसकी बातों का समर्थन नहीं कर रहा था।En: But her face was not supporting her words.Hi: आरव के मन में चिंता बढ़ने लगी।En: Concern began to grow in Aarav's mind.Hi: "चलो, पहले कुछ तरोताजा हो लें," आरव ने सुझाव दिया, "फिर मंदिर के अंदर शांति से बैठेंगे।En: "Let's refresh ourselves first," Aarav suggested, "then we'll sit peacefully inside the temple."Hi: "राकेश, हमेशा हंसमुख और मददगार, ने एक विचार दिया, "चलो छांव में बैठते हैं और कुछ देर आराम करते हैं।En: Rakesh, always cheerful and helpful, had an idea, "Let's sit in the shade and rest for a while.Hi: मैं एक खेल जानता हूं जिसमें दिमाग का इस्तेमाल होता है।En: I know a game that uses the mind.Hi: यह मजेदार होगा और थकान भी नहीं होगी।En: It will be fun and not tiring."Hi: "वे एक बड़े पेड़ के नीचे बैठ गए और खेल शुरू करने की कोशिश की।En: They sat under a large tree and tried to start the game.Hi: जब वे खेल के बीच में थे, मीरा अचानक ठहर गई, उसकी आंखें बंद होने लगी और वह बेहोश हो गई।En: While they were in the middle of the game, Meera suddenly paused, her eyes began to close, and she fainted.Hi: "मीरा!En: "Meera!"Hi: " आरव चिल्लाया, घबराहट उसकी आवाज़ में साफ थी।En: Aarav shouted, panic clear in his voice.Hi: राकेश ने जल्दी से उसे सहारा दिया और अपने पहले चिकित्सा ज्ञान का उपयोग करते हुए मीरा को संभाला।En: Rakesh quickly supported her and, using his basic medical knowledge, handled the situation.Hi: उनकी हलचल ने आसपास के लोगों का ध्यान खींचा।En: Their commotion drew the attention of those nearby.Hi: आरव ने तुरन्त मदद के लिए फोन किया।En: Aarav immediately called for help.Hi: कुछ ही मिनटों में चिकित्सा सहायता आ गई और मीरा धीरे-धीरे होश में आई।En: Within minutes medical assistance arrived, and Meera slowly regained consciousness.Hi: उसकी आँखों में डर था, लेकिन उसने धीरे से मुस्कुराया, "ठीक है आरव, शायद मुझे डॉक्टर के पास जाना चाहिए।En: There was fear in her eyes, but she gently smiled, "Alright Aarav, maybe I should see a doctor."Hi: "आरव ने राहत की साँस ली।En: Aarav sighed with relief.Hi: "हम सब तुम्हारे लिए फिक्र करते हैं, मीरा," उसने नरमी से कहा।En: "We all care about you, Meera," he said gently.Hi: राकेश ने भी हंसते हुए कहा, "आखिरकार, तुम्हें ये मानने पर मजबूर करना पड़ा।En: Rakesh also laughed and said, "Finally, we had to make you accept it."Hi: "उस घटना के बाद, मीरा अस्पताल गई और डॉक्टर से सलाह ली।En: After the incident, Meera went to the hospital and consulted a doctor.Hi: उसने उसके स्वास्थ्य की ओर अधिक ध्यान देने का वादा किया।En: She promised to pay more attention to her health.Hi: आरव और मीरा के बीच की मित्रता और भी गहरी हो गई।En: The friendship between Aarav and Meera deepened even further.Hi: उसकी देखभाल और चिंता ने एक नए रिश्ते का रास्ता खोला था।En: His care and concern paved the way for a new relationship.Hi: दिल्ली की गर्मियों की धूप में खड़े कमल मंदिर के शांत बगीचे ने तीन दोस्तों की इस कहानी को देखा और शायद अपनी मुस्कान के साथ विदा लिया।En: The tranquil gardens of the Lotus Temple, standing in Delhi's summer sunlight, witnessed the story of these three friends and perhaps bid them farewell with a smile.Hi: आज, वे अपने जीवन के नए सबक के साथ, और अधिक आत्मविश्वासी और जुड़ाव महसूस कर रहे थे।En: Today, with new lessons in life, they felt more confident and connected.

Few people have had a front-row seat to the genetic improvement of New Zealand sheep quite like our guest this week, Simon Buckley.After growing up in Whangārei and starting his farming career at Castlepoint Station, Simon joined Wairere Romneys and has never left. Four decades later, he has helped one of New Zealand's most influential sheep breeding programmes through the transition from visual selection and paper records to EID, genomics and data-driven breeding.In this episode, Simon chats with Mark to discuss the history of Wairere and the long-term thinking required to make meaningful genetic progress. They also discuss maternal instinct, breeding sheep for commercial conditions, the challenge of balancing innovation with market demand, and the lessons he's learnt from those who have travelled through the "University of Wairere".Grab a coffee and sit back and enjoy this one - it's a goodie!

27th May 2026In this Satsnag, Sanjay spoke about Eid al-Adha, discussing the concept of sacrifice as surrendering the ego and achieving self-realization through recognizing one's true nature as pure awareness. He explained that when people understand "I am only awareness," they can experience the same bliss and peace in waking life as in deep sleep, describing this as entering a state of Samadhi while remaining active. Lakshmi asked about handling noisy family members and maintaining inner peace, to which Sanjay advised keeping quiet, having compassion, and not trying to change others, suggesting that the desire for more solitude might be a sign of spiritual progress. Sanjay also discussed how egoless awareness affects relationships, explaining that without ego, one becomes insensitive to others' egoistic behavior and simply witnesses whatever happens without trying to fix or change situations.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an tríochadú lá de mhí Bealtaine. Is mise Alanna Ní Ghallachóir.Tá tús curtha le triail iar-cheannaire an Pháirtí Aontachtaigh Dhaonlathaigh, Jeffrey Donaldson, agus a mhná céile, i ndiaidh do bheirt bhan líomhaintí a dhéanamh go ndearna sé mí-úsáid ghnéis orthu agus iad ina bpáistí. D'inis abhcóide an ionchúisimh, Rosie Walsh KC, don ghiúire de chúigear ban agus seachtar fear ag Cúirt Chórónach an Iúir, go ndúirt duine de na gearánaigh gur thosaigh an mhí-úsáid agus í fós sa bhunscoil, agus gur leanadh ar aghaidh leis ar feadh roinnt blianta. Dúirt an gearánach eile gur chreid sí gur tharla na teagmhais bainte léi féin thart fán aois chéanna. Agus é i mbun agallamh le póilíní tar éis á ghabhála i Mí an Mhárta 2024, dúirt Donaldson gur rud “dochreidte” a bhí sa chúiseamh éignithe ina aghaidh agus shéan sé na cúisimh a bhí curtha ina leith. Phléadáil iar-cheannaire an DUP neamhchiontach do 18 gcúiseamh agus shéan Bean Donaldson cúig chúiseamh. Deirtear gur tharla na teagmhais idir na blianta 1985 agus 2008Dé Céadaoin, sáraíodh an churiarracht teochta um mí na Bealtaine in Éirinn ag Aerfort na Sionainne, nuair a bhain an mearcair 30.6C amach. Lean sé seo curiarracht eile ní ba luaithe sa lá ag stáisiún aimsire Páirc na Darach, taobh amuigh de bhaile Cheatharlach, inar taifeadadh teocht 29.7C. Agus sa Phortaingéil, taifeadadh an lá is teo i mí na Bealtaine ag 40.3C sa bhaile lárnach Mora, agus tíortha in iarthar na hEorpa ag streachailt leo san aimsir mharfach leáiteach. Sna tríocha bliain a chuaigh thart, tá ardú teochta 0.56C tagtha ar an Eoraip achan deich mbliana, de réir na Seirbhíse Aeráide Copernicus - neart leis na teochtaí as cuimse a dhéanamh níos coitianta. Déardaoin, dúirt na Náisiúin Aontaithe go bhfuil seans maith ann go ndéanfaidh na meánteochtaí domhanda na hardteochtaí as cuimse níos géire. Tháinig clú agus cáil ar bhuabhall ailbíneach neamhchoitianta a bhfuil gruaig fhada fhionn air sa Bhangladéis, agus an fhéile Eid al-Adha ag bualadh linn, agus é ag tarraingt na sluaite cuairteoirí fiosracha a deir go bhfuil an-chosúlacht idir an t-ainmhí agus Uachtarán Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá, Donald Trump. Tógadh an buabhall, a bhfuil beagnach 700kg meáchain ann, ar fheirm i gceantar in aice leis an phríomhchathair, Dhaka, agus tugadh an leasainm Donald Trump air mar gheall ar an dos gruaige bán thar a bhaitheas. Is Moslamaigh iad formhór na mBangladéiseach, náisiún san Áise Theas a bhfuil 170 milliún duine ann, a bhí ag céiliúradh Eid al-Adha, féile na híobairte le linn na seachtaine. Bhí sléacht le déanamh ar an bhuabhall leis an fhéile a chomóradh ach, sna huaireanta sular cuireadh é chun báis, ghníomhaigh an rialtas leis an t-ainmhí a shabháil. Dúirt coiméadaí an Zú Náisiúnta um Bangladéis, Atiqur Rahman, go dtabharfaí cúram maith don ainmhí, agus bóthán áirithe tugtha don bhuabhall in éineacht le cúramóir, agus go mbeidh sé ar coraintín le haghaidh coicíse. *Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Turkey's main opposition CHP was thrown into fresh disarray Saturday as court-installed leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu made his first visit to party headquarters since a controversial court ruling scrapped a 2023 party primary. Ozgur Ozel, the CHP leader ousted by the decision, called for an urgent congress, telling thousands at an Ankara rally that the party "cannot be run by an appointed leader". The 21 May court ruling has plunged the CHP, Turkey's oldest political party, into a crisis. Three days after the order, riot police forced their way into the party's headquarters in Ankara, armed with pepper spray and batons, to remove CHP leader Ozgur Ozel – a key rival to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The court said Ozel's 2023 election as party leader was marred by irregularities, and restored the former leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu. In Turkey, elections are overseen by the Supreme Election Council, which certified Ozel's win, and its rulings are constitutionally final. It is just the latest move against the CHP, which scored a major victory over Erdogan's ruling AKP in the 2024 local elections and has since gained ground in the polls. Party primary Kilicdaroglu visited that party headquarters on Saturday to mark the final day of Eid, with a photo shared by his team on social media showing him seated at his desk with a copy of the party's bylaws placed prominently in front of him. "I will bring a ballot box for party congress before you as soon as possible," Kilicdaroglu said in an address, without providing a precise date. Ozel renewed his challenge to Kilicdaroglu to contest a party primary, saying he was willing to run "with whatever delegates he wants". With crowds chanting "Traitor Kemal!", Ozel said the party congress must be held "immediately", urging Kilicdaroglu to "hold a congress at once, with whichever delegates you wish. Give the party an elected leader without delay. The CHP does not accept appointments." He also demanded a primary election, saying that he would give up the party leadership if he received less than 85 percent support. Turkey expert Gonul Tol, a senior fellow at United States think tank, the Middle East Institute told RFI that Kilicdaroglu is "a convenient opponent for [President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan, because he "lost every major election during his 13 years at the helm of the party." Turkey riot police use tear gas to take opposition party HQ 'A broader campaign' Ozel, 51, was elected leader at a party convention after 77-year-old Kilicdaroglu lost the 2023 presidential election. Ozel has revitalized the CHP, which now leads many opinion polls. Tol suggests Ozel's removal is part of a wider campaign. "This is the latest step in Erdogan's broader campaign to weaken the opposition," said Tol. “Last March, in another unprecedented move, authorities jailed Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoglu – he is Erdogan's top political rival. And since then, the government has systematically targeted CHP mayors through court cases and corruption investigations,” she added. Crackdown on Turkish opposition intensifies, with further arrests of mayors Addressing protesters, Ozel vowed to flood the streets and squares in defiance of what he calls a judicial coup, while also appealing his removal. Kilicdaroglu, meanwhile, is promising to restore order to the party and cleanse it of “corrupting forces”. The government insists the judiciary is independent and denies any political agenda. Erdogan has remained silent on the issue. Still, some observers see the opposition's upheaval as part of Erdogan's grander vision for Turkey's future. Political commentator Sezin Oney from independent Turkish media outlet Politikyol notes that Erdogan is eager to shape the post-Erdogan era. "He wants to design the succession, most probably to have a close family member replacing him. So he wants to shape the whole [political] terrain accordingly." 'Opposition psyche' Erdogan has ruled Turkish politics for almost 25 years, buoyed by both his political acumen and a fragmented opposition. But in the past year, Ozel's energetic leadership has powered over 100 mass rallies nationwide, even in Erdogan's strongholds, as Ozel taps into rising public frustration over crackdowns on dissent and skyrocketing food prices. The removal of Ozel as CHP leader is seen as a pivotal moment for Turkish democracy. “Turkey is moving closer to a Russia-style system where the leader decides who the opposition will be and ensures no real surprise can emerge at the ballot box,” predicts Tol. “Why is Erdogan taking such a massive political and economic risk? Erdogan knows he cannot win genuinely free and fair elections anymore." With Erdogan enjoying close ties with US President Donald Trump and the European Union increasingly looking to Turkey as a security partner, under the looming Russian threat, international reaction has been muted over the latest move against the opposition. Turkey steps up as Europe's indispensable and uncomfortable defence partner Speaking to tens of thousands of people at a rally in Izmir on Tuesday, Ozel vowed to escalate protests. Rumours are swirling that he could launch a new party. One opinion poll found only 11 percent of respondents approved of the removal of Ozel. Yet the legal noose appears to be tightening, with reports suggesting his parliamentary immunity could be stripped and that he may soon join other top party members behind bars. “We don't have the opposition in political representation form, but the people are there. The opposition psyche of the people is still there. So you cannot absolutely nullify the people or their political views,” said Oney. “We don't know what's going to come out of it. We can make predictions, but it's something totally novel and new in Turkey, and Turkish history as well."

The Giants can move past the Jaxson Dart controversy quickly if the locker room keeps frustrations internal, but the cost is proving this young team can handle pressure without letting every disagreement become a public problem.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Did the Giants actually move past the Jaxson Dart locker-room issue? The answer depends on whether the leaders who spoke up — Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Jameis Winston — turn that meeting into a reset instead of another storyline.The episode starts with the reported Giants meeting where Jaxson Dart addressed teammates after introducing President Trump. Drew and Rob talk through whether this was just an awkward headline that needed to be handled internally, or whether it was the first real leadership test for Dart and the John Harbaugh-era locker room. The conversation also covers Abdul Carter missing the meeting for Eid al-Adha and why that should not become cheap blame if Dart and Carter already handled things privately.Is this story actually over, or just quieter?Andrew Thomas restructuring his contract becomes the next major Giants topic. The guys explain why the added cap space matters, why Arvell Reese's rookie deal still affects the real number, and why this move is more likely about injury flexibility and cutdown-day roster moves than a splashy Odell Beckham Jr. return.Did the Giants just create useful breathing room, or are fans reading too much into a basic cap move?The OTA conversation focuses on D.J. Reader, Dru Phillips, and Patrick Ricard returning to the field, while also keeping expectations realistic because spring practices without pads only reveal so much. The defensive line depth concern gets real after the Roy Robertson-Harris injury, Shelby Harris' absence, and the basic truth that NFL injuries are going to keep coming.J.C. Davis becomes the offensive line debate of the episode. Bret Bielema praised his ability to play all four guard and tackle spots, while Drew pushes back and says the tape looks more like guard. John Harbaugh's comments also point to a swing guard/tackle role, raising the question of whether Davis is a future left guard, a real utility lineman, or another Giants guard/tackle project that could become risky behind Andrew Thomas.The episode closes with one of the better Giants stories of the offseason: Tom Coughlin, Eli Manning, John Harbaugh, Shaun O'Hara, and Gotham FC going full Mario Kart for the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation. Coughlin as Mario, Eli as Luigi, Harbaugh as Yoshi, and Shaun O'Hara as Donkey Kong made for a fun visual, but the real story is the charity work for families facing childhood cancer.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsAll episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Iran's Foreign Ministry has condemned the "flagrant and unjustified" ceasefire violations by the United States in the Strait of Hormuz, noting that these took place despite ongoing diplomatic efforts mediated by Pakistan.伊朗外交部抨击美国在霍尔木兹海峡“明目张胆”违反停火,强调此举发生在巴基斯坦积极调停之际,是对外交努力的公然挑衅。In the latest developments, an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps official said a renewed war with the US is unlikely, but warned that Tehran stands ready to repel any attack, Al Jazeera reported.据半岛电视台报道,最新进展中,一名伊斯兰革命卫队官员表示,与美国再次开战的可能性不大,但警告称,德黑兰已准备好击退任何攻击。"The possibility of war is low because of the enemy's weakness, but the armed forces are lying in wait," said Mohammad Akbarzadeh, a commander of the IRGC Navy.伊斯兰革命卫队海军指挥官穆罕默德·阿克巴尔扎德说:“由于敌人的弱点,战争的可能性很低,但武装部队正在严阵以待。”In a statement issued on Tuesday, reported by Mehr News Agency, the foreign ministry slammed the US Army for continuing its "illegal and unjustifiable actions" since the announcement of the ceasefire on April 8.据梅尔通讯社报道,伊朗外交部在周二发布的一份声明中痛斥美国军队自4月8日宣布停火以来仍旧继续采取“非法且不合理的行动”。The ministry said the US had committed "a flagrant violation of the ceasefire in the Hormozgan region over the past 48 hours", particularly following "multiple instances of maritime piracy against Iranian commercial vessels".外交部表示,美国“在过去48小时内公然违反霍尔木兹甘地区的停火协议”,尤其是在“多次对伊朗商船实施海上海盗行为”之后。The US has said its attacks were defensive in nature, targeting missile sites and boats attempting to lay mines.美国表示,其攻击本质上是防御性的,目标是导弹发射场和试图布设水雷的船只。In his call with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and other regional leaders, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reaffirmed Tehran's readiness to establish a "dignified framework" aimed at ending the ongoing fighting and regional tensions.伊朗总统马苏德·佩泽希齐扬在与卡塔尔埃米尔谢赫塔米姆·本·哈马德·阿勒萨尼等地区领导人通话中重申,德黑兰愿打造一个“有尊严的框架”,从而结束当前冲突,缓解地区紧张局势。Pezeshkian spoke with heads of state from several mostly Muslim-majority countries on the occasion of Eid al-Adha.借宰牲节之机,佩泽希齐扬与多国穆斯林领导人进行了电话沟通。He and his Egyptian counterpart, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, exchanged greetings on Tuesday. They also underscored the necessity of Islamic unity and indicated a new chapter in regional relations.5月26日,伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬与埃及总统塞西互致问候。双方强调伊斯兰团结的必要性,此举预示地区关系将开启新篇章。Pezeshkian emphasized the need to strengthen cooperation across the Islamic world and expand bilateral relations between Tehran and Kuala Lumpur in his phone call with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.在与马来西亚总理安瓦尔·易卜拉欣的通话中,佩泽希齐扬强调,有必要加强整个伊斯兰世界的合作,并扩大德黑兰与吉隆坡之间的双边关系。Meanwhile in the US, President Donald Trump was expected to meet with his Cabinet on Wednesday at a precarious moment for talks aimed at ending the conflict with Iran.与此同时,美国总统特朗普预计将于5月27日与内阁会面,此时正值结束伊朗冲突的谈判进入微妙关头。He took to social media on Tuesday to grumble that even if Tehran were to offer a complete surrender, the media would paint the end of the conflict as Iran scoring "a masterful and brilliant victory".他5月26日在社交媒体上抱怨称,即使德黑兰完全投降,媒体也会把冲突的结束描绘成伊朗取得了“一场巧妙而辉煌的胜利”。US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said negotiations between the US and Iran on extending the ceasefire and reopening the Strait of Hormuz will take "a few more days".美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥表示,美国与伊朗关于延长停火和重新开放霍尔木兹海峡的谈判将“还需要几天”。According to Iranian sources, an initial deal would end hostilities on all fronts, get traffic moving through the strait within 30 days, and possibly provide some financial relief.据伊朗消息,初步协议将全面结束敌对行动,30天内恢复海峡通航,并可能提供一定经济援助。More difficult issues such as Iran's nuclear program would be negotiated in the second phase. Iran has been allowing some ships through the strait, giving preference to vessels linked to countries with which it has close ties, Reuters has reported.据路透社报道,伊朗核计划等更为棘手的问题将在第二阶段进行谈判。与此同时,伊朗已允许部分船只通行霍尔木兹海峡,并优先放行那些与其关系密切国家的船只。The conflict, which began on Feb 28, has caused an unprecedented oil supply shock, pushing up the costs of fuel, fertilizer and food. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, which normally carries about a fifth of global trade in oil and liquefied natural gas, has been a fraction of its usual level since the fighting began.这场始于2月28日的冲突引发了前所未有的石油供应冲击,推高了燃料、化肥及食品价格。霍尔木兹海峡平时承载全球约五分之一的石油与液化天然气贸易,但开战以来,通航量仅剩正常水平的一小部分。The IRGC Navy said in a statement on Tuesday that as many as 25 other ships and oil tankers have been able to transit through the strait in coordination with the IRGC naval forces, Iranian media reported.据伊朗媒体报道,伊斯兰革命卫队海军5月26日在一份声明中称,在与革命卫队海军的协调下,已有多达25艘其他船只和油轮通过海峡。Also on Tuesday, the United Nations Security Council condemned what it said was an "egregious drone attack" that targeted an electricity generator outside the inner perimeter of the Barakah nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates on May 17.5月26日,联合国安理会也对5月17日阿联酋巴拉卡核电站内围外一台发电机遭到的“严重无人机袭击”表示谴责。Strait of Hormuz /streɪt əv hɔːˈmuːz/霍尔木兹海峡mediated by /ˈmiːdieɪtɪd baɪ/由……调停Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) /ɪzˈlæmɪk ˌrevəˈluːʃənəri ɡɑːd kɔː/伊斯兰革命卫队lie in wait /laɪ ɪn weɪt/埋伏,严阵以待lay mines /leɪ maɪnz/布设水雷Eid al-Adha /iːd æl ˈɑːdə/宰牲节underscore /ˌʌndəˈskɔː/强调precarious /prɪˈkeəriəs/不稳定的,微妙的grumble /ˈɡrʌmbəl/抱怨,发牢骚Barakah nuclear power plant /bəˈrɑːkə ˈnjuːkliə ˈpaʊə plɑːnt/巴拉卡核电站

AP correspondent Baraa Anwer reports pilgrims perform Hajj rituals in Saudi Arabia as Eid al-Adha celebrations start.
In today's edition of The Update Journal, the Knicks are one win away from the Finals, Cleveland is still launching three-pointers like they're trying to pay rent with them, and apparently New York City lost its outside-watch-party privileges because a few people forgot how to behave near Knicks games. We ask the important questions: Why are the Cavs treating every possession like a heat-check? Why does success in New York immediately turn into a crowd-control situation? And who looked at the calendar and decided Memorial Day weekend should roll directly into Eid al-Adha like this was some kind of holiday back-to-back challenge mode?Also included:A completely unbiased* breakdown of the Knicks-Cavs series from someone who “doesn't even watch basketball like that,” yet somehow has very strong opinions.A public safety reminder that New Yorkers cannot be trusted with nice things once playoff basketball enters the group chat.And a deep investigation into why this week feels like it was scheduled by the same people who plan MTA weekend service changes.(*Bias may exist. Especially against unnecessary three-point attempts.)In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, a tree fell on a woman and partially crushed multiple cars in the Bronx on Memorial Day, cops said. Meanwhile, a wet and not-so-wild Memorial Day capped a washout holiday weekend for the Big Apple, leaving Rockaway Beach empty during the unofficial start of summer except for diehard locals and frustrated business owners.A killer executed a man as he washed clothes with his wife at a Brooklyn laundromat Monday morning, cops and sources said. The brazen gunman also accidentally shot a 68-year-old bystander in the foot in the process, they said.And out in the American west in California, a crack has relieved some pressure in a damaged chemical tank and the temperature of the highly flammable gas inside is continuing to fall, leading authorities to say they believe the risk of a catastrophic explosion has been eliminated.

Ebola has also been reported in DR Congo's North and South Kivu provinces, as well as in neighbouring Uganda, where there have been seven confirmed cases.

On the eve of Eid ul-Adha, host Saadia Khan reflects on the San Diego mosque shooting that killed three men during prayer — and the Instagram comment calling Islam a "bloody demonic cult" that followed. In this raw narration episode, Saadia connects the dots between normalized anti-Muslim rhetoric, political silence, and the violence it enables. From her daughter being called "queen of Taliban" in sixth grade to being interrogated in an ER while in pain, she shares what it actually costs to be Muslim in America — and why, despite all of it, Muslims will still show up for Eid tomorrow.

America is turning 250… and Christian nationalists are determined to make sure the birthday party belongs to them. This week, Frank and Dan dive into the bizarre "Rededicate 250" event in Washington D.C., where Trump allies, religious activists, and culture war celebrities are pushing the idea that the United States was founded as a Christian nation (and therefore should become one again). Elsewhere: Rudy Giuliani claims he had a heavenly near-death experience, Hillsong founder Brian Houston accidentally posts porn to his followers, Christian nationalist culture warrior Ryan Walters files for divorce, and Texas officials shut down a Muslim community Eid celebration at a water park because apparently even modest swimwear is too threatening for Greg Abbott.

It's Friday, May 8th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Three North Korean prisoners to receive human rights award Three Korean missionaries detained for more than a decade in North Korea will receive the Graciela Fernandez Meijide Human Rights Award in August in absentia, reports International Christian Concern. The three men — missionary Choi Chun-gil, age 70, missionary Kim Jong-Uk, age 62, and Pastor Kim Kuk-gi, age 72— were helping North Korean defectors and underground churches in Northeast China before North Korean agents arrested them and took them to jails inside North Korea. North Korea sentenced the three men to life in a North Korean labor camp. The South Korean government has repeatedly called for the missionaries' release. Analysts estimate that more than 30,000 Christians are currently suffering in these camps where they are overworked, starved, and tortured. Not surprisingly, North Korea denies the existence of such camps. According to Open Doors, North Korea is the most oppressive country worldwide for Christians. Vatican: Homosexual couples are not guilty of sin The new Vatican synod report published May 5th has just dropped a bombshell, reports LifeSiteNews.com. It said, “Sin, at its root, does not consist in the same-sex couple relationship.” Instead, the document suggests sin is merely a lack of faith in God. Homosexual relationships are presented by the Vatican through glowing testimonies. The document takes specific aim at Courage, a Catholic group established for the support of those with homosexual attraction who wish to live chastely and in accord with Catholic Church teaching. And the report openly questions whether such unions could be considered analogous to marriage. It asks whether homosexual “relationships” can be thought of as equal “to heterosexual conjugal union,” despite “the evident impossibility of procreation.” This is not a fringe document. It comes from a synodal study group operating with Vatican approval. But Leviticus 18:22 could not be more clear. “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.” US launches strikes on two Iranian targets On May 7th, U.S. Central Command confirmed military action within the Strait of Hormuz, saying American forces intercepted “unprovoked Iranian attacks” and struck back amid claims by Tehran that the Trump administration had violated a fragile ceasefire, reports NewsNation.com. According to Fox News, U.S. officials said Qeshm Port in the Strait of Hormuz and the port city of Bandar Abbas were struck. Plus, Iran's Bandar Kargan naval checkpoint in Minab was also hit. CENTCOM officials said Iran launched missiles, drones, and small boats on three U.S. guided-missile destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz headed to the Gulf of Oman. In response, U.S. forces “eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this. RUBIO: “As President Trump has said, and the facts clearly bear out, the United States of America holds all the cards. There is no scenario here in which, if they decide to join a ladder of escalation, they wind up getting the last say. “But our preference is for these Straits [of Hormuz] to be opened to the way they're supposed to be open, back to the way it was. Anyone can use it. No mines in the water. Nobody paying tolls. That's what we have to get back to, and that's the goal here.” Mark Hamill of “Star Wars” posted image of dead President Trump Mark Hamill, the actor best known for playing Luke Skywalker in the original “Star Wars” trilogy of the 1970s and '80s, posted an image on May 6th that got the White House's attention, reports The Western Journal. The image, posted to Hamill's account on the social media platform BlueSky, showed President Donald Trump lying in a grave, hands folded, with a headstone that read “Donald J. Trump, 1946-2024.” Hamill wrote, “If only he should live long enough to witness his inevitable devastating loss in the midterms, be held accountable for his unprecedented corruption, impeached, convicted & humiliated for his countless crimes. Long enough to realize he'll be disgraced in the history books, forevermore.” Meanwhile, on the social media platform X, the official White House Rapid Response account, called Hamill “one sick individual.” Then, the White House linked Hamill-style rhetoric to other disturbing events, saying, “These Radical Left lunatics just can't help themselves. This kind of rhetoric is exactly what has inspired three assassination attempts in two years against our President.” Texas Governor pressures waterpark to cancel Muslim-only event A planned celebration of a Muslim-only day at the Epic Waters waterpark in Grand Prairie, Texas has been canceled after backlash over religious discrimination, reports Fox4News. The Epic Waters waterpark had planned to hold a private event throughout the park on June 1st to celebrate Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice and the second of two main festivals in Islam. It honors the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac as an act of obedience to God's command. When The Worldview first reported the story of the Muslim-only, waterpark-wide event, Cathy Blake of Fate, Texas emailed the Epic Waters leadership. She wrote, “I see you are hosting a Muslim celebration and closing the park to non-Muslims, which is religious discrimination. But, since you probably don't see it that way, and are wanting to be inclusive, I'm wondering what day the park will be available for only Jews or only Christians as those two religions are two of the most practiced religions in America, alongside Islam. Please let me know the date so I can plan my summer accordingly.” When Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott heard about the event, he sent a letter to the City of Grand Prairie in which he threatened to pull $530,000 in public safety grants if the city held the event. The letter states that the event was being advertised as "Muslim Only" before changing its advertisements to state only a requirement of a modest dress code would be enforced. Governor Abbott wrote, "The event purports to be public-facing and discriminatory at the same time: All Muslims—but only Muslims—may attend. An event at a city-owned pool that was publicly and indiscriminately advertised as ‘Whites only' would surely violate the Constitution.” On May 6, officials with the City of Grand Prairie wrote, "After further review and in the best interest of the City of Grand Prairie, the June 1st event at Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark has been canceled." The organizer, Dr. Aminah Knight, noted that 600 people attended the event last year and she was “deeply disappointed.” American Bible Society celebrates its 210th anniversary And finally, on May 8th, 1816, the American Bible Society organized in New York to distribute the Bible worldwide. In 1816, there was a significant demand for Bibles in the United States following the American Revolutionary War. The importation of Bibles from England had ceased, leading to a shortage as the nation sought to foster religious revival. Since then, it has distributed hundreds of millions of Bibles in thousands of languages worldwide. The first President of the American Bible Society was Elias Boudinot, who had been President of the Continental Congress from 1782 to 1783. John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, was named the Bible Society president in 1821. And Francis Scott Key, the writer of the United States' national anthem, served as a Vice President from 1817 until his death in 1843.

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Kenyan Somalis killed 7 Kenyan Christian farmers On April 25th, International Christian Concern reports that Muslim Somali herders killed seven Christian farmers in Kitui County, Kenya in a raid. The raiders left behind burned homes, scattered belongings, and families struggling to come to terms with the loss. Local church leaders said many of the affected families are now dealing with loss on multiple levels, including loved ones, homes, and livelihoods. Remember Jesus's words in Revelation 2:10. He said, “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” War with Iran has cost America $70 billion The cost of war in Iran continues to rise. The Trump administration announced that the war has cost $25 billion, but that does not include the cost to rebuild destroyed military bases in the Middle East. The Iran War Cost Tracker has the cost of the war pegged at more than $70 billion. That is more than $1 billion dollars a day. Trump removed 300,000 illegals from Social Security rolls The Trump administration is working to reform Social Security by removing illegal aliens off the rolls. Listen to President Trump's latest comments on his protection of Social Security. TRUMP: “Together with the Republicans in Congress, we've removed nearly 300,000 illegal aliens from the Social Security roles. (applause and cheers) And we've removed more than 100,000 migrants from Medicare eligibility: 100,000 and the number is going up. “What we're really doing is saving Social Security because it was so rife with fraud.” Supreme Court rules against race-based Congressional districts In a blockbuster decision, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against apportioning congressional districts by race, effectively neutering a portion of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965. Following the decision, a flurry of Republican states, including Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida began working towards redistricting in favor of Republicans. However, Democrats are planning their own redistricting efforts, as both parties remain deadlocked in midterm election jockeying. Supreme Court temporarily allows mail-order abortion drugs In other Supreme Court headlines, it issued an administrative stay on Monday of a lower court ruling, which would have put a stop to the mail order program for the Abortion Kill Pill. The administrative order will hold for a week, while the court gives the Food and Drug Administration opportunity to respond. U.S. public school enrollment is down Public school enrollment is down in the United States — a 900,000-person drop over the last decade. During the same period, Edunomics Lab reports that staffing has actually increased by about the same amount -- 700,000 people or about 12%, ironically. The government school monopoly spends $1 trillion per year on their program, averaging $17,000 per student. Per student costs, adjusted for inflation, have doubled since 1980. $17,000 cost-per-public schooler vs. $1,600 per homeschooler The Homeschool Legal Defense Association surveyed 4,000 homeschool families and found the per-child costs for homeschooling an elementary school student runs around $1,300, and $1,600 for a middle and high school student. That means a family with five children saves the state $85,000 per year in education costs, and then, spends $7,000 of their own money doing it. America's property tax revolt There is somewhat of a property tax revolt going on across the country. Florida lawmakers are proposing an end to local government property tax. Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has suggested something similar. And the states of Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Wyoming have other initiatives in process to reform property tax in favor of the taxpayers. 1 Samuel 8 speaks of this tyranny: “[Samuel] said, ‘This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons. … He will take your daughters. … He will take a tenth of your grain and your vintage. … And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you in that day.” Gas prices have doubled since February U.S. gas prices have almost doubled since late February. Now the average price sits at $4.46 per gallon, up from $2.84 a gallon just two months ago. Idaho requires teachers/doctors to tell parents if child has gender issues The state of Idaho passed a bill that requires teachers and doctors to tell parents if their child is experiencing gender dysphoria. The law, signed by Republican Governor Brad Little, seeks to combat ways in which a child may secretly appear to be the other sex without parental approval. Republican State Senator Ben Toews stated, “A loophole was left in the [previous] law, and it did not mention social transitions, the process by which vulnerable children are led into the pipeline.” Violations of the new law could lead to steep fines and potential loss of professional licenses. Barbie Director to direct Netflix Narnia film Greta Gerwig is directing the next Narnia film, The Magician's Nephew, to be produced by Netflix, which is expected to be released on February 12, 2027. Gerwig is best known for her director role in the feminist film “Barbie.” The first three Narnia movies yielded a worldwide box office total of $1.8 billion. Texas waterpark celebrates Islamic festival by restricting park to Muslims There's a $90 million taxpayer-funded waterpark in Grand Prairie, Texas called Epic Waters which is now celebrating the Islamic holiday of Eid-al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice and the second of two main festivals in Islam. It honors the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God's command. The Epic Waters park will be restricting the park to Muslims, allowing only Halal food to be sold, and requiring head-to-toe Muslim dress for all swimmers. 90-year-old pro-lifer calls for end to F.A.C.E. Act And finally, Eva Edl, a 90-year-old woman who was placed in a Soviet death camp at a young age, is urging Congress to repeal the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances, or F.A.C.E. Act, after she was convicted and put in prison under the Biden administration. Pro-abortion advocates have used the F.A.C.E. Act to jail and silence pro-lifers. Listen to her recent testimony. EDL: “Pro-lifers who continue to put their bodies between the abortionist and innocent victims today will continue to be targeted by this unjust law until it is repealed. And yet, despite knowing this, when the Lord asks you to do something, you just simply do it, no matter the cost. After all, He gave His life to save us.” John 15:13 reminds us, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, May 5th, in the year of our Lord 2026.
