An oil slick off Oman has begun contaminating beaches as it edges closer to shore. It came from the Russia-linked tanker, Caroline Bezengi, which was under sanctions and disabled by an explosion in June. Environmentalists are also warning about the long-term impact of pollution to the region caused by the Iran war. Iraq and the US have reached a final agreement on the withdrawal of the international force set up to fight ISIS. The move comes as Baghdad also seeks to disarm militia groups and shift its relationship with the US towards economic and security co-operation. Lebanon's parliament has passed a contentious amnesty law aimed at easing overcrowding in the country's prisons. But some critics fear that it would spare prisoners convicted of attacking or killing members of the Lebanese army, allowing them to escape their full punishment. Syria has formally protested to the UN after Colombia recognised Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights. New Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella – a staunch supporter of Israel – made the announcement days after being sworn in. And in the UAE, stargazers headed for the desert early on Thursday morning to watch the Perseid meteor shower light up the sky.

On The Spark, we spoke with Peter Kistler, editor of The War They Won, a remarkable book preserving the firsthand accounts of more than 200 World War II veterans. The project began with Peter's brother, Hobart Kistler, who spent 17 years interviewing veterans after starting the effort while still in high school. Following Hobart's untimely death, Peter completed the manuscript, ensuring those stories would reach future generations. With fewer than 0.5% of the 16.4 million Americans who served in World War II still alive, the book serves as a lasting record of their experiences.Move Past Plastic will be recognizing local South Central PA Community Activists: Scott Bucher, who took the lead on reuse initiatives, spoke with educators,     local leaders, businesses, organizations, and educational outreach     creations and events.  Danel Berman, for her artistic and creative talents and spur-of-the-moment     availability to assist in every facet of educational outreach, digital and     physical creations, and advocacy work.

Podcast kali ini menggarisbawahi urgensi reorientasi sistem ekonomi global dari model kapitalisme konvensional yang eksploitatif menuju "Kapitalisme Hijau" yang berkelanjutan. Model ekonomi saat ini dinilai gagal karena mengabaikan keterbatasan sumber daya alam dan mengeksternalisasi kerusakan lingkungan demi mengejar keuntungan jangka pendek,yang pada akhirnya memicu krisis iklim global. Sebagai solusinya, esai ini memperkenalkan konsep Natural Capitalism,sebuah kerangka kerja yang menuntut dunia usaha untuk memperhitungkan nilai modal alam dalam setiap keputusan presisi mereka, sehingga pertumbuhan ekonomi tidak lagi harus mengorbankan integritas ekologis planet ini. Implementasi nyata dari ambisi rekonsiliasi antara keuntungan dan kepedulian lingkungan ini dieksplorasi melalui studi kasus dua pionir bisnis beretika, yaitu Anita Roddick dengan The Body Shop dan Tom Chappell dengan Tom's of Maine.Melalui pendekatan "Aktivisme sebagai Model Bisnis" dan "Kepemimpinan Berbasis Nilai," kedua tokoh ini berhasil membuktikan bahwa nilai-nilai ekologis dapat diintegrasikan secara sukses ke dalam strategi korporasi arus utama,sekaligus membawa kesadaran lingkungan ke masyarakat luas. Namun, sejarah mencatat bahwa kedua perusahaan ini pada akhirnya diakuisisi oleh raksasa korporasi konvensional, L'Oréal dan Colgate-Palmolive, yang memicu perdebatan mengenai keberlanjutan idealisme tersebut. Kegagalan jangka panjang dalam mempertahankan integrasi nilai sosial-ekologis ini menjadi salah satu temuan kunci James O'Toole dalam bukunya, yang menyoroti pola melunturnya praktik etis pasca-pendiri akibat tekanan pasar modal dan masalah suksesi kepemimpinan. Hal ini memberikan pelajaran berharga bahwa integritas misi lingkungan sering kali rentan terhadap tekanan komersial, terutama ketika perusahaan masuk ke pasar saham atau diakuisisi oleh konglomerat yang fokus utamanya adalah margin keuntungan. Oleh karena itu, O'Toole menyimpulkan bahwa selain idealisme,diperlukan struktur tata kelola, hukum, dan sistem kepemilikan yang kuat—seperti yang diterapkan oleh Lincoln Electric dan John Lewis Partnership—untuk melindungi dan memastikan keberlanjutan praktik bisnis yang bertanggung jawab secara sosial di masa depan.

In this episode of The International Risk Podcast, Dominic Bowen speaks with Ibrahim Aboubacar Hama about climate change and its impact on food security, livelihoods, and stability across West Africa. Ibrahim shares what climate change looks like on the ground, and why national strategies often don't match lived reality.The discussion examines whether government frameworks like Senegal's agenda can keep pace with a food security crisis that's projected to nearly double during the lean season, and why bridging the gap between science and affected communities is still one of the region's biggest challenges. We also explore the lingering fingerprints of colonial-era resource extraction and what the rest of the world consistently gets wrong about the crisis unfolding in West Africa.The conversation explores:-What climate change actually looks like for communities on the ground-Why strategy on paper often fails to reach the people who need it most-The lingering economic and institutional legacy of colonial-era extraction-Why bridging the gap between science and society is importantIbrahim Aboubacar Hama is an Environmentalist and Communication Specialist with extensive experience designing and managing climate change adaptation projects across West Africa, with expertise spanning social mobilization, gender equity, stakeholder engagement, and conservation education. The International Risk Podcast brings together global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers to explore the forces transforming our world — from geopolitical instability and organised crime to cybersecurity threats and hybrid warfare. Dominic Bowen is the host of The International Risk Podcast and one of Europe's leading experts on international risk and crisis management.

It's been more than 60 years since environmentalist Rachel Carson's book, "Silent Spring," challenged the widespread use of synthetic pesticides like DDT and helped launch the modern environmental movement. This hour, we learn about Carson's life, work and her enduring legacy through a new exhibit at Yale's Beinecke Library. We'll also examine a current environmental challenge: per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS. This a class of man-made chemicals can be found in drinking water systems across Connecticut and the country. We'll explore the health concerns surrounding PFAS, efforts to limit exposure and what Carson's story can teach us about responding to today's environmental risks.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 279-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 44,448 on turnover of $18.6-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed more than 1,000 points higher Friday with AI-related stocks in focus amid improved sentiment after U.S. President Donald Trump cancelled planned strikes against Iran. Analysts say electronics heavyweights, notably in the semiconductor industry simply followed suit and the momentum largely reflected optimism toward AI development. And select raw material stocks also moved higher in line with the Taiex. Civil groups urge protections for migrant caregivers through agency hiring Civil groups are urging the government to allow household migrant caregivers to be hired and managed by long-term care agencies. They say, the move would prevent overwork and better protect the interests of both those providing and receiving care. Protesters demonstrated at a rally outside the Ministry of Health and Welfare, saying "exploitation (利用，剝削) is not a choice." Advocates described facing long working hours, limited opportunities for rest or leave, and increasing care responsibilities that often go beyond what one person can do. They noted that the rights to rest and take leave are "fundamental labor and human rights," and emphasized that caregivers being overworked affected the quality of care received by older adults. MOHW officials say that the proposed change would require significant regulatory changes and careful assessment. 2 Mercury viewing events coming up The Taipei Astronomical Museum says, stargazers may be able to view Mercury with the naked eye twice this week… This month Mercury is visible low in the western sky after sunset and can be seen more easily with binoculars. The first event will occur tomorrow, with one of the best chances all year to observe the planet. Then on Wednesday, Mercury will join Venus, Jupiter, and a crescent moon in the western sky,with all four objects forming a vertical arrangement. The museum recommended viewing the events between 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. from a location with an unobstructed (無障礙的) view of the western horizon… but they do warn of unstable weather affecting visibility. Gaza latest Gaza's Health Ministry says the Palestinian death toll from the Israel-Hamas war has surpassed 73,000. The updated toll came as Israel has continued to strike what it says are militant targets, often killing civilians, despite a fragile (脆弱的) ceasefire deal reached in October. Donna Warder again. G7 Summit Protests Thousands of demonstrators are converging in Geneva to show their discontent with the G7 group of rich countries. U.S. President Donald Trump and counterparts are set to hold a summit starting today across Lake Geneva in France. Environmentalists and feminists on Sunday joined protesters against imperialism (帝國主義), defenders of independent media and supporters of Palestinian rights and others in a lakeside park for a march across town. The summit from Monday to Wednesday in Evian-les-Bains, France, will discuss the Middle East, Ukraine and global economic issues. Demonstrators have been gathering for days. Switzerland Rejects Proposal to Cap Population Swiss voters have rejected a proposal to cap the country's population at 10 million. The initiative, led by the right-wing Swiss People's Party, was seen as a move against migration. Preliminary results showed nearly 55% opposed the measure, with a turnout of almost 59%. Critics warned it could harm Switzerland's ties with the European Union. Switzerland isn't an EU member but is surrounded by EU countries. The proposal's defeat reflects ongoing debates about immigration in Europe. Swiss democracy allows voters to directly influence policy through referendums, highlighting the country's unique approach to governance (治理). That was the I.C.R.T.

This Day in Legal History: Wallace Stands in the Schoolhouse DoorOn this day in 1963, Alabama Governor George Wallace physically stood in the doorway of Foster Auditorium at the University of Alabama to block the registration of Vivian Malone and James Hood, the two Black students whose enrollment had been ordered by a federal district court. Wallace's “Stand in the Schoolhouse Door” was the culmination of a long campaign of state defiance of federal desegregation orders that ran from Brown v. Board in 1954 through Cooper v. Aaron in 1958 — the case in which a unanimous Supreme Court told the Little Rock school district, and by extension every state actor, that federal constitutional rulings are the supreme law of the land and that state officials may not nullify them.President Kennedy responded to Wallace's stand by issuing Executive Order 11111, which federalized the Alabama National Guard, and ordering Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach down to Tuscaloosa to confront the governor. Wallace gave a long speech invoking states' rights and Tenth Amendment sovereignty, then stepped aside, and Malone and Hood walked in and registered. That night, Kennedy went on national television and delivered the civil rights address that put the Civil Rights Act of 1964 onto the national agenda. The legal and political throughline matters: the schoolhouse door, the executive order federalizing the Guard, the televised address, and the omnibus civil rights legislation that followed were a single coordinated federal response to massive resistance, and the institutional habit they built — the willingness of the federal political branches to back federal court orders with whatever force is necessary — is the substrate on which the modern enforcement of civil rights law sits. Whether that habit holds up under contemporary pressure is one of the live constitutional questions of our moment.The “Anti-Weaponization Fund” saga we have been following all week reached at least a partial resolution on Wednesday when Judge Leonie Brinkema of the Eastern District of Virginia declined to extend her temporary restraining order against the program into a preliminary injunction. The reason, in essence, is that the Justice Department has now formally represented to the court, in writing and through acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, that the $1.8 billion fund is “not going forward.” Brinkema took DOJ at its word for present purposes and dissolved the TRO, which under standard mootness doctrine is the right call when a defendant credibly commits to abandoning the challenged program. But she also did something practical: she warned the government in plain terms not to “play possum with this court,” language that gives the plaintiffs a built-in mechanism to come back fast if the fund quietly re-emerges under a different name.The substantive theory the plaintiffs were pressing — that the fund is an unappropriated expenditure of public money, that the underlying Trump-IRS settlement was a litigation in which the United States was never really adverse to the President in his personal capacity, and that the program's payout criteria are based on political characterizations of past prosecutions rather than any neutral standard — is now preserved for another day rather than litigated to judgment. The practical lesson is the durability of voluntary-cessation doctrine: a government defendant who is willing to abandon a program in court usually wins on mootness, but the cost is real, because future revivals get scrutinized against the prior representation. Watch the Federal Register and the DOJ component-level budget submissions for the next six months — if there is a successor program coming, those are where the first signal appears.Judge declines to halt “anti-weaponization fund” since Blanche says it's dead, but warns DOJ not to “play possum” | CBS NewsA coalition of environmental and tribal-nation plaintiffs filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Wednesday seeking to block a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-approved land exchange that would transfer 715 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge to SpaceX, in return for 683 acres of privately owned land elsewhere. The plaintiffs are the Center for Biological Diversity, Save RGV, the Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation of Texas, and the South Texas Environmental Justice Network.The legal theory of the case is unusually multi-statute: the complaint alleges violations of the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997, the National Historic Preservation Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act, with the central administrative-law argument being that the Fish and Wildlife Service's environmental analysis failed to grapple seriously with impacts on endangered ocelots, aplomado falcons, and a long list of migratory species whose habitat the refuge was designed to protect when Congress created it in 1979. The plaintiffs describe this as one of the largest national-wildlife-refuge land exchanges outside Alaska, and the suit asks for vacatur of the exchange decision rather than damages — the standard APA remedy.The political and infrastructural backdrop is hard to miss: SpaceX's Starbase facility at Boca Chica has been expanding into the Lower Rio Grande Valley for years now, and the exchange would consolidate the company's footprint on land previously held for the protection of one of the last remaining ocelot ranges in the country. The merits of the case will turn on the rigor of the FWS environmental analysis. Expect a request for a preliminary injunction within weeks.Lawsuit challenges Trump administration's land swap with SpaceX in Texas | The Washington PostA Los Angeles County jury on Wednesday added $22 million in punitive damages to the $176 million compensatory verdict already entered against socialite and former philanthropist Rebecca Grossman and former Major League Baseball pitcher Scott Erickson, bringing the total civil award to the Iskander family to roughly $198 million.The underlying facts of the case are stark: in September 2020, Grossman and Erickson left a Westlake Village restaurant after drinking and street-raced separate Mercedes SUVs through a residential neighborhood, with Grossman striking and killing two young brothers, Mark and Jacob Iskander, then 11 and 8, as they crossed a marked crosswalk with their parents.Grossman was convicted of two counts of murder in 2024 and is serving 15 years to life. The civil case the family brought is the wrongful-death companion, and the punitive damages award the jury added on Wednesday is the part that does the most policy work: the jury split the punitive award $21 million against Grossman, $1.17 million against Erickson, which under California's reprehensibility-and-net-worth framework reflects both the much greater direct culpability of Grossman as the driver and the substantial disparity in their respective financial positions.The case is notable beyond the parties involved because of how clean it is on the standard punitive-damages analysis the Supreme Court laid out in BMW v. Gore and State Farm v. Campbell: high reprehensibility, a relatively modest single-digit ratio of punitive-to-compensatory damages, and an underlying compensatory award that itself was supported by the gravity of the loss. Watch for an appeal that focuses on the compensatory rather than the punitive number — that is where the appellate leverage actually is.Jury Ups Philanthropist, Ex-Pitcher Crash Verdict To $198M | Law360 This is a public episode.

The milkman model is simple. Bottles are filled, dropped off, emptied and picked up over and over again. That system got a Canadian entrepreneur thinking. In this day and age of mountains of plastic waste — why not re-use containers? His system, called Loop, was launched in 2019 at Davos Switzerland — to great fanfare. Environmentalists welcomed it and big corporations signed on to be part of the re-use movement. This documentary explores what happened to that grand plan and why North American consumers and companies aren't ready for a 21st century milkman model.

Did you know that just 12% of the 89,000 paying customers of Chugach Electric vote for the Board Members of this public utility that impacts every customer's paycheck month in and month out ?It should come as no surprise that left-leaning climate alarmists, hand-picked and funded primarily through the Alaska Center for the Environment (now known as just the Alaska Center to mask their identity) and Renewable Energy Alaska Project, dominate the Chugach Electric Board. And when these Board members oppose sensible, affordable, predictable strategies to provide energy...you and I pay more. And our freedoms are impeded.On today's show, I was privileged to chat with Todd Lindley, a conservative, experienced mechanical engineer with years of work in the energy arena, about why it's so important to have a variety of voices on this Board. Southcentral Alaskans rate payers should not be held hostage by a leftist mindset more concerned with woke environmental ideology than affordable, predictable energy to take care of our families.Support the show

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Kevin Jackson Show, where common sense still has a pulse.You know, I spent some time recently out in the country. Fishing. Sitting with friends and business partners. No panels. No focus groups. No blue-check hysterics screaming about “our democracy” while eating ethically sourced quinoa from a bowl shaped like oppression.Just real people.And I'll tell you something that hit me like a shovel upside the head: Conservatives are winning, because conservatives still understand life at its molecular level. We understand how things actually work.You get up early. You work. You build. You solve problems. You help your neighbor because one day you might need him pulling your truck out of a ditch instead of posting a hashtag about your emotional journey.That's America.And the Left has drifted so far from that reality, they look like tourists in their own country. These people couldn't bait a hook if the fish signed a consent form. They've become entirely institutionalized. Everything they know comes from an app, an activist professor, or a nervous HR department.Out there in the country, nobody cares about your pronouns when the generator dies.Nobody asks your carbon footprint when rain's coming and fences need fixing.Nobody forms a committee to determine whether the fish feels “seen.”Reality has standards. That's why conservatism keeps winning every time life gets serious.And the Left can feel it happening. They're scattered right now. Fragmented. They don't even share a common purpose anymore beyond hating Donald Trump and trying to turn normal people into suspects.One faction wants socialism. Another wants censorship. Another wants open borders. Another thinks math is racist. Feminists are fighting trans activists. Environmentalists are fighting unions. Pro-Hamas activists are marching with people who think vegan cheese is violence. It's ideological dodgeball played inside a burning Whole Foods.Meanwhile conservatives are out here building businesses, raising families, creating wealth, producing energy, inventing technology, and yes, occasionally sitting by a lake with a fishing pole remembering that peace and quiet are still legal in parts of America.That contrast is what today's show is all about.Because while the media keeps trying to sell this fantasy that MAGA is collapsing, reality says otherwise. Trump's enemies keep disappearing politically. Woke cultural movements are sputtering out once the propaganda machine slows down. And every day Americans are rediscovering something simple but powerful:Common sense isn't extremist. It's survival.Today's lineup proves it.We'll get into the collapse of the anti-Trump Republicans, why the Left's cultural intimidation campaigns are failing, why Democrats can't survive without taxpayer oxygen tanks, and why the people lecturing America about tolerance increasingly look like the angriest cult members at the airport.And somewhere in there we'll talk about Thomas Massie, burner phones, Pride parade ghost towns, and the fascinating phenomenon of Democrats endorsing Republicans they secretly hope will help destroy the Republican Party from inside the building.So buckle up.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We break down how to reduce plastic use, what actually matters when it comes to recycling, and simple swaps that can significantly reduce your waste and carbon footprint over time. If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to live more sustainably, cut out plastic, or make eco-friendly choices in a world built on convenience and overconsumption, this is your realistic, no-guilt guide to sustainability. Because sustainability isn't about being perfect—it's about making better choices consistently.

As I'm recording this in mid-April, we are coming out of the one of the warmest and driest winters on record in the Pacific northwest, and snowpack is at catastrophically low levels.Add in the Trump administration's intentional sabotage and decimation of FEMA, the Forest Service, NOAA, and other federal agencies, and it is hard not to think that we are in for an unprecedented fire season.Aside from the threat of homes and communities burning, and smoke potentially blanketing vast swaths of the country for months, we in the conservation and climate communities need to prepare for all out propaganda blitz from the timber industry and their allied politicians as they use people's fear to open up public lands for industrial extraction.Wildfire is a fact of nature, and we do have to learn again to coexist with it.  But far too often environmentalists focus only on the science, ignoring or downplaying the lived experience and real fears the general public has.It's not enough to be right.  We need to be more strategic about the stories we tell and what we focus on.  And that is what today's show is all about.The Pacific Northwest Forest Climate Alliance has just released a new wildfire messaging guide designed to cut through the confusion and misinformation about fire, offering simple and effective messaging to reframe the wildfire narrative in a way that centers forest health and community safety over backcountry logging interventions.Alex Budd is an organizer with the forest climate alliance and one of the main authors of the new guide, and he joined me to talk through it. Links:https://forestclimatealliance.squarespace.com/wildfire-guideRoads increase risks of wildfires: Home Hardening Tips: https://www.readyforwildfire.org/prepare-for-wildfire/hardening-your-home/https://www.instagram.com/coastrangeradio/

The EPA is proposing changes to recycling plastics that are alarming environmental advocates. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.

Environmental groups and Alaskan tribes sued the Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency for unlawfully repealing the endangerment finding and motor vehicle emissions standards. The EPA's 2009 endangerment finding is the scientific determination that greenhouse gas pollution harms public health and welfare.. The rollback ignores established science and removes critical safeguards at a time when farmers need them the most. Every season, farmers are navigating more uncertainty - excessive rain, lack of rain, excessive heat, and everything in between.

A dairy company in west-central Minnesota has plans to expand one of its farms to become the state's largest dairy operation. It is raising concern from some local residents and environmental advocates. Riverview LLP, which runs West River Dairy near Morris says it's trying to increase capacity to meet growing demand across the country and world. Meanwhile, opponents say the move will hurt smaller dairy farms and the environment. The proposal is under review by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Michael Johnson, a news editor for Agweek who has been following the story, joined MPR News host Kelly Gordon to talk about what risks the expansion could have to the environment and what locals are saying.

I was trying to set up a show inside a beautiful forest. I thought I was being a smart Environmentalist.  Put the forest on the air. In the first few minutes of this Earth Riot the forest keeps stopping the show, without explanation. I feel myself being pulled to another part of the forest, who is pulling me. The forest leaves Savitri D and Neil Young alone... they don't get interrupted. When I'm in a new part of the forest I find my equipment works fine so I restart my cheerful welcoming remarks and then the wild kingdom pulls the plug again. Can a whole forest be a trickster? Can an ecosystem mess with a well-meaning human? Can the entire Earth be playing us for a fool?

March 24, 2026- Earthjustice New York Policy Advocate Liz Moran discusses Gov. Kathy Hochul's potential rollbacks of the state's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act and argues the changes won't prevent energy cost increases.

This week marks the 10-year anniversary of the hired hit that took Berta Cáceres’s life and robbed both the Honduran and global environmental movements of a uniquely effective leader. Cáceres was targeted by a dam company, with an assist from the police, military, government officials and international banks because of her effective organizing on behalf of her people, the Lenca. Nina Lakhani literally wrote the book on Cáceres’s killing, and in this episode she walks us through what happened then, what’s happening now, the role the U.S. played in all of it, and what Americans can learn from the way Honduran activists continue to show up in the face of violent repression.
