Bob Zimmerman reports that Blue Origin's New Glenn orbital rocket successfully completed its second launch, including landing the first stage and demonstrating reuse capability comparable to Falcon 9. New Glenn, larger than Falcon 9, is scheduled for upgrades with more powerful BE4 and BE3U engines, making it nearly comparable to NASA's costly and expendable SLS rocket. Rocket Lab set a new annual launch record with 15 successful orbital launches, surpassing Russia's frequency, and has conducted suborbital HASTE launches for military testing. India is upgrading its largest LVM rocket's upper stage for multiple restarts, essential for its space station and crewed missions. The US State Department opposes a proposed European Union space law seeking to impose EU regulations on companies from other nations, potentially discrediting the EU if passed. Finally, NASA has hired startup Catalyst to attempt a daring robotic rescue of the decaying Swift telescope. 1862
SHOW 11-21-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT UKRAINE FIRST HOUR 9-915 HEADLINE: Las Vegas Shifts Focus with Formula 1 and Lower-End Tourism; California Politics Hit by Indictments GUEST: Jeff Bliss Jeff Bliss reports that the Formula 1 race on the Las Vegas city circuit is attracting major spectacle and high-end tourism, though the city is also attempting recovery by catering to lower-income demographics, evidenced by positive activity at the Excalibur Casino, while facing major competition from a new Indian casino near Bakersfield, California, operated by the Tahone tribe and twice the size of Caesars Palace. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, and four others were indicted on 23 counts of fraud. Additionally, an investigation into the Palisades fire revealed that state workers ordered the LA Fire Department to back off a previously burned area that rekindled, allegedly to protect endangered plants. 915-930 HEADLINE: Industrial Policy and Tariffs Lack Coherence; Removal of Food Tariffs Implies Inflationary EffectGUEST: Veronique De Rugy Veronique De Rugy discusses US industrial policy, noting the trade deficit has increased despite tariffs, and the administration's decision to remove tariffs on food items—goods not produced domestically—is seen as an implicit admission that tariffs contribute to the "affordability crisis" because tariffs are a tax primarily borne by American consumers. The goals behind tariffs have shifted from fighting China to raising revenue, and the largest tariff exemption is for computer parts, indicating an understanding that tariffs could contradict other goals like energy abundance. De Rugyargues that US economic power stems from innovation and a willingness to invest, making industrial policy involving tariffs and seeking foreign investment largely unnecessary and potentially harmful. 930-945 HEADLINE: Mixed US Economic Signals: Strong GDP Contrasts Low Consumer Sentiment; AI Adoption Increases GUEST: Gene Marks Gene Marks discusses the US economy, noting that third-quarter GDP growth is estimated near 4%, contrasting sharply with record-low consumer sentiment in a "tale of two economies" where salaried workers receiving pay raises of 5–7% are outpacing 3% inflation and continuing to spend, while hourly workers struggle. Despite job growth in construction, leading indicators like the architectural billings index show contraction for 11 months. In technology, 88% of major companies are adopting artificial intelligence, though scaling remains limited, with AI already replacing low-level programmers and enhancing customer service. Agentic AI, capable of performing complex tasks, is predicted to impact fields like accounting and marketing by 2027–2028. However, Marks argues that most current major corporate layoffs stem from typical corporate bloat and mismanagement rather than AI, at least not yet. 945-10 SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: Lancaster County Economy Booms Despite Low Consumer Confidence; Local Entrepreneurs ThriveGUEST: Jim McTague Jim McTague reports that the economy in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, is strong, suggesting it mirrors the greater US economy despite reports of low consumer confidence, observing robust traffic at tourist destinations like Kitchen Kettle Village, a shopping locale established in 1954, with spending largely supported by well-off boomers. Local entrepreneurs are experiencing great success—a dealer selling eclectic electric lamps in Park City Mall is already earning $4,500 per week at the start of the holiday season, and high volume at Costco, where the Amish are major buyers, further indicates available disposable income. McTague concludes that the real economy on Main Street is strong and likely headed for a blockbuster Christmas season. 1015-1030 HEADLINE: Climate Change Threatens Iconic Italian Cheeses; Southern Drought Reduces Milk Production Quality GUEST: Lorenzo Fiori Lorenzo Fiori reports that climate change is threatening Italian food production, particularly cheese, due to drought and heat waves in the south, especially the Puglia region, where stressed cows are reducing milk production and impacting specialty cheeses like mozzarella and burrata. Milk cannot be shipped from the north because local water and hay are essential to the unique flavor of southern cheese. Fiori emphasizes that Italian food is a famous brand precisely because it belongs to its territory, criticizing pre-prepared sauces found in Brussels as inauthentic carbonara, which must be made fresh. In Milan, Christmas preparations are underway, with shop windows decorated festively and street lights scheduled to be switched on December 7th. 1030-1045 HEADLINE: Private Space Advances (Blue Origin, Rocket Lab) Challenge NASA SLS, EU Space Law CriticizedGUEST: Bob Zimmerman Bob Zimmerman reports that Blue Origin's New Glenn orbital rocket successfully completed its second launch, including landing the first stage and demonstrating reuse capability comparable to Falcon 9. New Glenn, larger than Falcon 9, is scheduled for upgrades with more powerful BE4 and BE3U engines, making it nearly comparable to NASA's costly and expendable SLS rocket.

Finally, NASA has hired startup Catalyst to attempt a daring robotic rescue of the decaying Swift telescope. 1045-1100 THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: McFaul: Autocrats Are on the Rise; US Must Unite Allies and Attract Global Talent to CompeteGUEST: Michael McFaul Michael McFaul's book Autocrats Versus Democrats argues that Putinism is driven by anti-Western ideology, making Putin a risk-taker, and McFaul believes the US erred by lacking a robust response and failing to provide arms after the 2014 Crimea invasion, stressing that helping Ukraine win is essential to inspire Russian democrats. He asserts that the appeal of autocracy is growing globally and advises that the US must align democracies against autocrats while advocating for human rights, citing the need to support imprisoned publisher Jimmy Lai. Long-term strategy requires the US and its allies to unite, as they are collectively stronger economically and militarily than autocracies, and McFaulstrongly recommends attracting international talent by reversing restrictive immigration policies, calling it a great strength the US is currently losing. 1115-1130 1130-1145 1145-1200 FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 HEADLINE: US-Saudi Nuclear Deal Raises Proliferation Concerns; Military Micro-Reactors Retreat from Front Lines GUEST: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski states that Saudi Crown Prince MBS's goal is to obtain a bomb option, and while the new US-Saudi agreement does not include assistance with nuclear fuel production, a reactor still provides the necessary "cover" used by countries like Iran. MBS has made clear he will acquire a bomb if Iran does, regardless of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Sokolski also discusses the US military's Janus program for small reactors, initially conceived for vulnerable front-line bases but pushed back to remote areas like Alaska and the lower 48 due to concerns about drones and vulnerability. Finally, the US may be moving toward nuclear socialism—government ownership of commercial reactors, potentially funded by Japan—to encourage commercialization even without secured market contracts. 1215-1230 1230-1245 HEADLINE: Scenario: Russia Attacks NATO Member Estonia; Europe's "Kantian Dreams" and Lack of Readiness Prevent Article 5 Response GUEST: Jakub Grygiel Jakub Grygiel analyzes the German book If Russia Wins, which outlines a scenario where Russia attacks NATO member Estonia around 2028 following a stalled conflict in Ukraine, capturing Narva and an island before halting its advance and creating confusion within NATO. Europeans, living in "Kantian dreams of eternal peace," prioritize a quick end to the conflict and fear escalation, and the scenario posits that the US President decides a World War III over a "tiny piece of land" is not worthwhile, leading Estonia to forego invoking NATO's Article 5 out of fear of alliance rejection. Grygielnotes that decades of demilitarization leave Europe unprepared for war, highlighting that US reinforcements could take 45 days to move and societies lack the political will to fund necessary rearmament.

"E, entrando Jesus em Cafarnaum, chegou junto dEle um centurião, rogando-Lhe, E dizendo: Senhor, o meu criado jaz em casa, paralítico, e violentamente atormentado.E Jesus lhe disse: Eu irei, e lhe darei saúde.E o centurião, respondendo, disse: Senhor, não sou digno de que entres debaixo do meu telhado, mas dize somente Uma Palavra, e o meu criado há de sarar. Pois também eu sou homem sob autoridade, e tenho soldados às minhas ordens; e digo a este: Vai, e ele vai; e a outro: Vem, e ele vem; e ao meu criado: Faze isto, e ele o faz.E maravilhou-se Jesus, ouvindo isto, e disse aos que O seguiam: Em verdade vos digo que nem mesmo em Israel encontrei tanta fé."

Der Zoll-Deal, den Wirtschaftsminister Parmelin mit den USA zimmerte, steht in der Kritik: Kommen nun Chlorhühner und Cyber Trucks? Dürfen die USA die Steuerpolitik der Schweiz mitbestimmen? Und wie lange hält der «Frieden»? Eine Gruppe reicher Unternehmer bereitete im Oval Office mit teuren Geschenken für US-Präsident Trump den Boden – wenig später konnte Wirtschaftsminister Guy Parmelin einen Deal mit den USA verkünden. Die Strafzölle sollen von 39 Prozent auf 15 Prozent sinken. Wie genau liess der Bund die Unternehmer in die Verhandlungen Einblick nehmen? Und welchen Preis zahlt die Schweiz für die Einigung? Wie kann die Schweiz garantieren, dass Private tatsächlich 200 Milliarden Franken investieren und sich die Handelsbilanz ausgleicht? Bundesrat Guy Parmelin nimmt Stellung. Einige Experten bezweifeln zudem, dass mit den USA Ruhe einkehrt, sobald die Absichtserklärung in ein Abkommen umgemünzt ist. Hat sich die Schweiz mit ihrem Nachgeben erst recht erpressbar gemacht? Im Raum steht auch die Frage, was der Zollstreit mit den USA für die neuen Abkommen mit der EU bedeuten. Und ob sich ein Kleinstaat wie die Schweiz neu ausrichten muss, wenn reine Machtpolitik die Oberhand gewinnt. Wirtschaftsminister Guy Parmelin stellt sich den Fragen von Nathalie Christen in der Samstagsrundschau. Ergänzend zum Tagesgespräch finden Sie jeden Samstag in unserem Kanal die aktuelle Samstagsrundschau.

Talk of energy has been storming the headlines recently. A long, cold winter is approaching and prices are soaring, due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict... Russia has long been Europe's main energy supplier, but reducing dependence on Russian energy has now become critical, with many countries putting sanctions or boycotts in place. Meanwhile Russia stands accused of sabotaging gas pipelines which lead to the EU. In addition to a geopolitical crisis, Europe is now experiencing an energy crisis marked by the increase in the price of gas. In an attempt to solve this problem, the United States has proposed a solution, in the form of liquefied natural gas. What's special about this gas? And why are we talking about it now?

Back in the early nineties all across the EU a rule was introduced to protect rivers and streams from agricultural run off. At the last count 7,000 out of 137,000 farms in Ireland had received a derogation from this directive. A decision on this derogation is on the agenda at the next meeting of the EU's Nitrates Committee on December 9.
Opening Context The famous phrase: “It’s the economy, stupid” stresses the importance of economic perception in politics. Dissatisfaction with the economy often leads to blame on the sitting president. Criticism of Biden Administration Claims Biden’s tenure caused high inflation (up to 9%) and wage decline (approx. $3,000 loss in take-home pay). Biden favored policies benefiting foreign-born workers and illegal immigration, harming American workers. Trump Administration Achievements Jobs Report: September added 119,000 new jobs, more than double expectations. Construction Jobs: Surged by 19,000—the largest monthly gain in a year. Wages: Up 3.8% year-over-year; real wages projected to increase $1,200 annually. Inflation: Claimed to be under control compared to Biden era. Private Sector Growth: Most jobs went to native-born citizens. Foreign Investment Surge Lists massive investments from countries and corporations (UAE, Qatar, Japan, Apple, EU firms, Saudi Arabia, SoftBank, Nvidia, etc.). Total U.S. and foreign investment cited as $9 trillion. Highlights Trump’s “America First” policy requiring companies to invest domestically. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Com base no roteiro do Café Brasil 1000, criamos uma música, combinando nossos ritmos, e um vídeo sobre o jeito de ser do brasileiro. Usamos a IA e o resultado é sensacional. Este episódio é para lançar esse vídeo. Espalhe para todos que você acha que merecem. Quando Jorge Benjor canta, aliás, quando Jorge Ben canta que “moro num país tropical, abençoado por Deus e bonito por natureza”… ele não está negando os problemas. Está lembrando a cada um de nós o motivo pelo qual ainda estamos de pé. O Brasil aguenta por causa da leveza. Da ginga. Da malandragem boa, aquela que não é trapaça, mas sabedoria de sobrevivência. Jorge Benjor não é um cantor. É um alquimista sonoro. Ele mistura batuque, groove, futebol, religião e mulher — e sai poesia. O brasileiro, aliás, é isso: Tristeza com harmonia. Ironia com esperança. Dor com prazer. Tudo ao mesmo tempo, agora. Se você tiver dúvidas, ouça outra vez este episódio. Aprecie a riqueza da nossa arte, da nossa poesia, da nossa literatura. As canções que ficaram de fora são suficientes para fazer mais uns 20 episódios como este, mantendo o padrão... Ouça a riqueza das vozes que nos moldaram, os ritmos que nos sustentaram, os sonhos que nos uniram. O Brasil não é só a maravilha que Deus fez, não. O que faz uma nação são as pessoas. O resto são prédios, árvores, montanhas e animais. Cenário, Natureza e Obras. Que não têm uma ação racional, intencional e definida na modelagem do futuro. Tudo isso que aí está, ficará como é. Quem escreve a história de um país somos nós. Eu e você. Progresso, esperança e evolução são coisas de seres humanos. E é por isso que eu insisto: o orgulho de ser brasileiro precisa ser reconquistado. Não por ufanismo cego, mas por reconhecimento lúcido. Afinal, como disse o Buscapé naquela abertura da Cidade de Deus, se correr o bicho pega, se ficar o bicho come. Então não tem alternativa. Precisamos voltar a olhar nos olhos uns dos outros e dizer: “Tamo junto, cara!” Porque se o Brasil conseguir se unir... Ninguém segura.

This week's podcast covers everything from the heights of the sky to the depths of the ocean. My guest is Paul Barnard from MathWorks, where we dive into one of my favorite subjects: Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). Paul and I discuss the major software development hurdles for AAM vehicles, the advantages that a modular software approach offers these designs, and how engineers are working to synchronize simulation models with actual flight data. This week, I also look into SEACLEAR, an EU project that utilizes a team of autonomous robots to collect waste from the ocean floor.
This week the team digs into Germany's new power plant plan, the fast changing battery storage landscape, and what the latest grid data reveals about the scale of developer interest. We also break down the EU's push to jump start sustainable aviation fuels and explore what is still missing to unlock real demand. In offshore wind we look at Poland's first auction, GB Energy's debut investment, and the final Celtic Sea award. The episode closes with an interview on the growing role of export credit agencies in clean energy finance.Host: Maya ChavvakulaGuests: Mathilde Dorbessan, Dan Burge, Leonard Müller, Stanley Lam This episode was edited by Leonard Müller.

The latest In Touch With iOS with Dave he is joined by Jill McKinley, Chuck Joiner, Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius.In Episode 396, the panel covers a packed week of Apple updates including VisionOS 26.2 beta 3, iOS/iPadOS 26.2 features, and AirPods Pro firmware changes. Jill and Eric share their joint Vision Pro demo adventure, the team debates macOS Tahoe instability and Apple's controversial liquid-glass icon redesign, everyone weighs in latest AI news from OpenAI (GPT-5.1) Google Gemini 3. We explore digital driver's licenses arriving in Illinois, MLB's new broadcast deals with ESPN & Netflix, and a surprising new cross-platform file-sharing capability between iPhone and Android.

The show opens with Vision Pro news as visionOS 26.2 beta 3 arrives days after the other platform betas. Marty reports improvements like developer cable speed fixes and faster 2D-to-3D photo conversion. Jill and Eric recount their in-person meetup where Jill experienced a fully guided Vision Pro demo — including immersive video, spatial room exploration, and plenty of curious stares from coffee-shop onlookers wondering why Jill was "peering into invisible walls." The group then turns to iOS/iPadOS 26.2, covering new AirDrop temporary-share capabilities, privacy notice updates, hypertension notification APIs, new Japanese voice-assistant options, improvements to Liquid Glass UI effects, and multitasking enhancements like the return of Slide Over on iPad. AirPods Pro 3 beta firmware triggers a discussion on instability, unwanted auto-switching, and how firmware installs appear to now proactively ask users whether they want to participate. The episode shifts to macOS Tahoe 26.2, where Jeff vents about daily crashes, memory leaks, and wake-from-sleep failures — while others report fewer issues, sparking a possible exploration of third-party apps as the culprit. The panel also critiques Apple's polarizing icon redesign in Tahoe, agreeing that many icons look bland, boxed-in, and violate Apple's own historical Human Interface Guidelines. A major section of the show covers AI developments: • OpenAI GPT-5.1 — faster, more conversational, new tone presets (professional, candid, quirky), and "thinking mode" for deeper answers. • Google Gemini 3 Pro — improved multimodal reasoning, search integrations, and cloud-based inference. Jeff notes concerns about AI systems becoming overly anthropomorphic, while Jill admits she set her GPT tone to "nerdy" and likes it. Next, Apple's rollout of driver's licenses in Wallet hits Illinois, making it one of the largest states to adopt the feature. Dave describes server delays on launch day, and the panel discusses TSA compatibility, app differences between states, privacy details displayed, and state-by-state rollout inconsistencies. Sports streaming news surfaces as MLB renews contracts with ESPN, Netflix, and NBCUniversal, while also confirming Friday Night Baseball stays on Apple TV through 2028. The group reflects on the chaos of watching live sports across too many services and whether future licensing will simplify or worsen the landscape. The episode closes with Google's surprising announcement that iPhone ↔ Android file transfers via AirDrop/Quick Share are now possible on Pixel 10 devices. The panel predicts Apple will likely break this "for security reasons," especially considering regulatory scrutiny in the EU. Topics and Links
Italien setzt wie viele andere Länder der EU beim Umgang mit jungen Menschen, die im Gefängnis landen, auf Resozialisierung. Der Gedanke um die Wiedereingliederung in die Gesellschaft steht im Vordergrund des Strafvollzugssystems. Doch Italien hat auch ein Problem - Jugendgefängnisse dort sind oft überfüllt. Und das hat auch etwas mit der Politik der italienischen Ministerpräsidentin Georgia Meloni zu tun. ARD Korrespondentin Verena Schälter aus dem Studio Rom berichtet von einem Ereignis aus dem Jahr 2023, das zu einem Anstieg jugendlicher Häftlinge um 60% geführt haben soll:Einer brutalen Gruppenvergewaltigung in Caivano, einer Kleinstadt in der Nähe von Neapel. Opfer waren zwei Mädchen im Alter von 10 und 12 Jahren, die Täter - eine Gruppe Jugendlicher. Ministerpräsidentin Meloni kündigte darauf ein konsequenteres Vorgehen gegen Jugendgewalt an. In ihrer Weltspiegel Doku beleuchtet Verena Schälter die Lage inhaftierter Jugendlicher in Italien. Mit Tilmann Kleinjung, auch ARD Korrespondent in Rom, schauen wir auf die Politik Melonis seit dem Jahr 2022, als sie als erste Frau zur italienischen Ministerpräsidentin gewählt wurde.

Desde pequena, a Lívia sempre enfrentou muitos obstáculos. Sua mãe tinha transtorno bipolar e o convívio dentro de casa era difícil. Em 2011 ela conheceu o José e, chegou a sonhar que estava se casando com ele. O sonho virou realidade e mesmo com conflitos com a família e dificuldades financeiras, eles permaneceram juntos. Em 2019 tudo mudou, O José estava com câncer no cérebro e mesmo ouvindo que teria poucos dias, ele disse: “o médico não é o autor da minha história”. Com o avanço da doença, ele parou de reconhecer as pessoas e até o próprio nome, mas a Lívia seguiu em frente e nunca desistiu. Hoje, ela encontra sentido em cuidar do José e mantém a fé de que um dia ele vai acordar lúcido e dizer: “Eu venci.”
Die Oekraïnse president, Volodymyr Zelensky, sê hy sal met Amerikaanse president Donald Trump onderhandel oor 'n Amerikaans-gesteunde konsep-vredesplan wat 'n beroep op Kiëf gedoen het om pynlike toegewings te maak ten einde Rusland se inval in sy land te beëindig. Zelensky se kantoor het bevestig dat hy in die komende dae met Trump sal praat oor bestaande diplomatieke geleenthede en die hoofpunte wat nodig is vir vrede. Kiëf is nie geraadpleeg oor die plan, wat nie vrygestel is nie. Kaja Kallas, visepresident van die EU-kommissie, het gepraat na 'n ministersvergadering:
Send us a textGood morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a landscape marked by significant scientific advancements, regulatory approvals, and strategic shifts that are reshaping the industry.Starting with Regeneron, the company's ophthalmic drug Eylea HD has recently secured two FDA approvals. These endorsements not only grant a new indication but also introduce a more flexible dosing regimen. This positions Eylea HD competitively against Roche's Vabysmo, highlighting the importance of regulatory navigation and strategic positioning in the pharmaceutical sector. These approvals come after extensive negotiations with both the FDA and third-party manufacturers, emphasizing the intricate processes involved in bringing a drug to market.In oncology, Bayer has achieved an accelerated FDA approval for Hyrnuo, a treatment targeting HER2-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. This move allows Bayer to challenge Boehringer Ingelheim's Hernexeos, underscoring the fiercely competitive nature of the oncology market. Such advancements are driven by innovative treatments that address specific genetic mutations in cancer patients, reflecting a broader trend towards precision medicine.Meanwhile, Moderna is investing heavily in mRNA production capabilities with a new $140 million facility in Norwood, Massachusetts. This development underscores Moderna's commitment to mRNA technology, which gained significant attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. The facility aims to establish robust domestic manufacturing infrastructures to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities—a critical move considering recent global disruptions.Novartis is also making headlines with its plans for a flagship production hub in North Carolina. This expansion is expected to create 700 jobs and expand its manufacturing footprint by 700,000 square feet, highlighting Novartis's strategic emphasis on scaling up operations to meet growing demands and enhance production efficiency.In another strategic collaboration, Antheia has joined forces with Teva's TAPI division to enhance the commercialization prospects for its biosynthetic pipeline. This alliance marks a significant step toward advancing biologically derived pharmaceuticals, promising to revolutionize drug production through more sustainable and scalable alternatives to traditional chemical synthesis.On the regulatory front, Merck has received broad EU approval for a subcutaneous formulation of Keytruda. This development could significantly expand Keytruda's market reach across Europe, demonstrating how regulatory agility can extend drug lifecycles and maximize therapeutic impact across diverse patient populations.Compliance challenges remain prevalent, as illustrated by Pfizer and Tris Pharma's settlement of allegations related to ADHD medication Quillivant's quality control issues for $41.5 million. This case highlights ongoing efforts to ensure stringent quality standards within pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.Abbott is expanding its diagnostics portfolio through a $23 billion acquisition of Exact Sciences, known for its Cologuard colorectal cancer test. This acquisition indicates a strategic shift towards enhancing diagnostic capabilities alongside therapeutic offerings—a trend increasingly evident in holistic healthcare solutions.GSK is embarking on a $7 billion collaboration with biotechs Quotient and Profound through Flagship Pioneering. This partnership aims to leverage novel protein and genomic technologies to drive innovation in drug discovery and development, illustrating the industry's focus on integrating advanced biotechnological insights into traditional pharmaceutical frameworks.These developments collectively underscore crSupport the show

The Cabinet Office Minister, Nick Thomas-Symonds, has written several political biographies. The most recent was on Harold Wilson. What are the differences between being in power now compared with previous Labour governments? How did Wilson deal with leadership threats of the type Keir Starmer faces now? He's also responsible for the Brexit 'reset', so does he want to move closer to the EU? And what about the single market?

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: ISAÍAS 43:1-7 Plano De Leitura Anual: EZEQUIEL 16–17; TIAGO 3 Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira: Quando menino, Mário achava o seu pai severo e distante. Até quando adoecia e precisava ir ao pediatra, seu pai resmungava. Durante uma briga, ouviu e soube que seu pai queria que ele tivesse sido abortado. O sentimento de ser indesejado o acompanhou até a idade adulta. Quando ele se tornou cristão, achou difícil relacionar-se com Deus como seu Pai, embora já o conhecesse como Senhor de sua vida. Se, como ele, não nos sentimos amados por nossos pais terrenos, podemos enfrentar dúvidas semelhantes em nosso relacionamento com Deus e talvez nos questionemos: Sou um fardo para Ele? Deus se importa comigo? Mesmo se nossos pais terrenos tiverem sido severos e distantes, Deus, nosso Pai celestial, nos diz: “Eu o amo” (ISAÍAS 43:4). Deus fala como Criador e como Pai. Se você deseja saber se Ele quer que você viva sob Seu cuidado como parte de Sua família, ouça o que Ele disse ao Seu povo: “Tragam de volta meus filhos e filhas, desde os confins da terra” (v.6). Se você questiona seu valor para Ele, ouça Sua afirmação: “você é precioso para mim, é honrado e eu o amo” (v.4). Deus nos ama tanto que enviou Jesus para pagar o preço do pecado a fim de que nós, que cremos nele, possamos estar com o Senhor para sempre (JOÃO 3:16). Por causa do que Deus diz e do que Jesus fez por nós, podemos ter plena confiança de que o Senhor nos quer e nos ama. Por: JASMINE GOH
Google doorbreekt een hardnekkige barrière tussen iPhone en Android: Quick Share werkt nu samen met AirDrop, waardoor gebruikers voor het eerst rechtstreeks bestanden kunnen uitwisselen tussen beide ecosystemen. De functie start op de Pixel 10 maar wordt in de toekomst mogelijk breder beschikbaar. Jarenlang werkte AirDrop alleen tussen Apple-apparaten, terwijl Android-gebruikers Quick Share hadden. Onderling bestanden delen bleef omslachtig, vaak wordt Whatsapp gebruikt. Google zegt de compatibiliteitslaag zelf te hebben gebouwd en uitgebreid te hebben getest op privacy en beveiliging. De koppeling werkt twee kanten op, van Android naar iPhone en andersom. Google werkte niet samen met Apple bij de ontwikkeling. Apple heeft nog niet gereageerd, maar werd eerder dit jaar door de EU al gedwongen om AirDrop open te stellen voor andere apparaten. Verder in deze Tech Update: Foxconn zet zwaar in op AI-datacenters en kan inmiddels 1000 AI-serverracks per week produceren. Het bedrijf werkt nauwer samen met Nvidia en OpenAI en wil jaarlijks tot 3 miljard dollar investeren in nieuwe AI-productiecapaciteit. KPMG en de Universiteit van Amsterdam experimenteren met een bedrijf zonder mensen, volledig gerund door AI-agents. Na problemen met een AI-CEO stapten onderzoekers over op honderden kleine ‘wegwerp-agents’ om te testen welke processen AI zelfstandig kan uitvoeren.

As 2025 draws to a close, the European continent is facing the most pressing of problems: how to raise financial support for Ukraine, almost four years into Russia's full-blown invasion. Kyiv's financial resilience is eroding and thanks to an unpredictable Trump administration questioning the cost of collective defence, Europe is now faced with shouldering the burden. EU Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen warned this week that urgent measures are needed to fill Ukraine's €135 billion budget shortfall for the next two years. One option would be tapping €185 billion in frozen Russian assets –a move that has faced opposition from the likes of Belgium, where most of the assets are located. If no agreement is made among member states before the end of the year, it could have disastrous consequences. Von Der Leyen has stressed that what happens in Ukraine is fundamental not only to the country's survival but to Europe's future. We debate the future of financing Ukraine with our guests at the European Parliament in Brussels.
“Everyone has a role to play”, those are the words of today's guest Carl-Oskar Bohlin, Sweden's first minister for civil defence since 1947. Bohlin has become a key figure in Sweden's evolving security landscape, as threats against Europe are rapidly increasing by the day. Grey zone aggression – covert actions that fall short of open military conflict – is on the rise, and countries along Russia's eastern flank are on the frontline: from cyber attacks, disinformation and drone sightings. As the war in Ukraine is set to enter its fourth year and with no end in sight, countries like Sweden are urging European allies to take civilian preparedness seriously. Carl-Oskar Bohlin speaks to us during a visit to Paris.

We're approaching crunch time in Belém, and a long-running COP30 saga may finally have found its landing spot. After days of rumour, diplomacy and thunderous rainforest downpours, the question of who will host COP31 looks close to being resolved - and it all plays out over the course of our day's recording.Paul Dickinson and Fiona McRaith trace the twists of the Australia-Turkey negotiations in real time, with insight from former UN diplomat Dean Bialek. Plus, we hear from political journalist Thais Bilenky on the domestic pressures shaping Lula's approach, as the Brazilian president personally steps in to break the deadlock.Across the day, the team also dives into one of the summit's biggest sticking points: CBAM, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. In a wide-ranging conversation, the EU's Teresa Ribera lays out why Brussels sees CBAM as essential for true decarbonisation - but why it's sparking concern among countries who fear they'll be penalised while still industrialising.Then it's over to the Action Agenda, with Dan Ioschpe and Jennie Dodson giving a ground-level view of how coalitions, companies and cities are reshaping the COP's centre of gravity - from regenerative landscapes in Brazil to global momentum across grids, food systems and industry.Finally, as we're packing up the mics, news of COP31 appears to land. What does this unusual arrangement mean? What happens to the long-promised Pacific Island leadership? And what will it take for next year's COP to deliver on the ambition so many hoped this decision would unlock?Learn more:
We don't often get to cover joyful policy news on this podcast, so this week we're delighted to be discussing that rare thing: a European country that's investing serious money in culture. For three years, Ireland has been experimenting with paying artists, musicians and other creative workers a basic income. And guess what? The scheme has worked so well that they're keeping it going. But is the policy all it's cracked up to be? This week we speak to John Baker, a co-founder of the Equality Studies Centre at University College Dublin and one of the coordinators of Basic Income Ireland, about the logic and limits of Ireland's Basic Income for the Arts. In sillier policy news, we're looking at why Slovakia has been regulating the speed of kids cycling on the pavement. And we're diving into Ukraine's massive corruption scandal: what exactly happened, and just how bad is it for Volodymyr Zelenskyy? You can read interviews with the artists who've been receiving Ireland's Basic Income for the Arts here.

This week Italy's defense minister accused Russia of waging a hybrid war on the continent, while Poland's Donald Tusk said that Russia was behind an explosion on Saturday on a railway line used to transport weapons to Ukraine. This is pushing Europe to take additional steps to beef up its defense amid wider concerns that Russia could take these hybrid attacks a step further. Charles Kupchan, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and expert on Europe, joins Thanos Davelis as we look into Russia's hybrid attacks on Europe, asking the question whether Russia could escalate.

Wir beginnen unseren Rückblick auf aktuelle Ereignisse mit einer Diskussion über die Annahme des Gaza-Friedensplans von Präsident Donald Trump durch den UN-Sicherheitsrat. Anschließend sprechen wir über das nach wie vor große Lohngefälle zwischen Männern und Frauen in den Ländern der EU. In unserem Wissenschaftsthema diskutieren wir heute über eine Studie, die eine wegweisende Methode vorstellt, bei der Gehirnscans und künstliche Intelligenz kombiniert werden, um Gedankenbilder in sprachliche Aussagen zu übersetzen. Diese „Mind-Captioning"-Methode soll Menschen mit Sprachschwierigkeiten die Kommunikation erleichtern. Und zum Schluss sprechen wir über eines der beliebtesten Feste der Welt, das jedes Jahr am dritten Donnerstag im November stattfindet – die Ankunft des Beaujolais Nouveau. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf Flavoring Particles (Modalpartikel) – Part 1. Es geht um den Vorschlag, Texte und Musik des Rappers „Haftbefehl" im Deutschunterricht zu behandeln. Auf den ersten Blick handeln die Texte von Drogen- und Gewaltverherrlichung. Doch es geht auch um gesellschaftliche Probleme, die es wert sind, in der Schule diskutiert zu werden. Die Redewendung dieser Woche ist Ein Dorn im Auge sein. Wir illustrieren den Gebrauch dieser Redewendung anhand des Alkoholverbots der Deutschen Bahn am Bahnhof Hamburg-Altona, das seit dem 1. November gilt. Das Verbot ist gegen die Obdachlosenszene am Bahnhof gerichtet, die jedem ein Dorn im Auge ist. UN-Sicherheitsrat billigt Trumps Gaza-Plan Lohngefälle zwischen Männern und Frauen in der EU bleibt bestehen KI-basierte Methode zum „Gedankenlesen" wirft datenschutzrechtliche Bedenken auf Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé!

Google has launched its latest AI model, Gemini 3, which is designed to enhance multimodal processing capabilities by simultaneously handling text, images, and audio. This model, particularly the Gemini 3 Pro version, aims to improve the accuracy and reasoning capabilities of AI systems, positioning Google to compete more effectively with OpenAI in the consumer AI market. The introduction of Gemini 3 Pro is part of a broader trend where companies are increasingly integrating AI into their existing workflows, as seen with Intuit's incorporation of ChatGPT into its financial services, which seeks to streamline tax and accounting processes for users.OpenAI has also made strides with the release of Codex MAX, an upgraded version of its programming-focused AI model that reportedly executes coding tasks 27-42% faster than its predecessor while using 30% fewer tokens. This enhancement is expected to improve coding efficiency and cybersecurity by enabling long-horizon reasoning, which is essential for identifying vulnerabilities in code. Additionally, PIA has launched an Automation Hub, a marketplace for managed service providers (MSPs) to access pre-built automations, signaling a shift towards purchasing rather than developing custom solutions.The episode also discusses the evolving regulatory landscape in Europe, where proposed changes to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and AI laws aim to simplify compliance requirements. These changes could create ambiguity regarding the use of personal data for AI training, raising concerns about potential liabilities for businesses. The simplification of cookie consent policies is another significant development, which may shift responsibility to businesses for compliance with user preferences.For MSPs and IT service leaders, these developments underscore the importance of staying informed about AI advancements and regulatory changes. As AI becomes more integrated into business operations, the ability to evaluate and govern these technologies will be crucial. MSPs must navigate the complexities of compliance and operational efficiency while ensuring that clients are prepared for the implications of AI adoption, particularly in light of the ongoing challenges related to AI's performance in tasks such as mathematical calculations.
