Western Miscalculation and the Core Problem of Russia's Dominance Ideology. Professor Eugene Finkelargues that debates about Ukraine joining NATO or the EU are secondary, as the core problem remains Russia's deeply rooted ideological belief that it must control Ukraine. Western powers, including the US and Southern and Central Europe, have repeatedly misread Russia as transactional and rational, failing to recognize it as a revanchist neo-imperialist power. This miscalculation led to poor decision-making and a lack of preparation. Eastern European countries, who understood the enduring Russian threat, were wrongly dismissed. The professor concludes by noting his grandfather's brave refusal of a KGB recruitment offer after World War II. Guest: Professor Eugene Finkel. 1855

Schweizweit wurden Fleisch, Fisch, Eier, Milch und Milchprodukte auf PFAS untersucht. Nur in seltenen Fällen haben die sogenannten Ewigkeitschemikalien den gesetzlichen Grenzwert überschritten. Aber: PFAS sind weit verbreitet, sie wurden in allen Lebensmittelkategorien nachgewiesen. Die oberste Kant Kantonschemikerinnen und Kantonschemiker haben insgesamt 889 Proben erhoben, darunter Fleisch-, Eier- und Fischproben. Sieben Proben haben den geltenden Höchstwert überschritten, PFAS konnten aber in allen Lebensmittelkategorien festgestellt werden. Zusätzlich hat das Bundesamt für Lebensmittelsicherheit insgesamt 276 Proben von Milch und Milchprodukten untersucht. In allen Milchprodukten wurde verschiedene PFAS-Verbindungen nachgewiesen, nur 3 haben den Richtwert der EU überschritten. Bei Milch und Milchprodukten gibt es in der Schweiz noch keine definierten Grenzwerte. Die geltenden Höchstwerte werden also weitgehend eingehalten. Dennoch gehen die Kantonschemikerinnen und Kantonschemiker davon aus, dass es lokal zu auf zukünftig zu Überschreitungen kommen wird. Wie können die Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten geschützt werden? Braucht es einen nationalen Aktionsplan? Alda Breitenmoser, Präsidentin vom Verband der Kantonschemikerinnen und Kantonschemiker, nimmt Stellung im Tagesgespräch.

O presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), afirmou ao Estadão/Broadcast que os partidos têm de “sair da disputa por holofote e dividendos eleitorais” e debater o tema da segurança pública com a “seriedade que ele merece”. A declaração ocorre em meio ao impasse sobre o “PL Antifacção”, projeto originalmente elaborado pelo governo Lula, mas que sofreu mudanças sob a relatoria do deputado Guilherme Derrite (PP-SP). "O governador do Rio de Janeiro, Claudio Castro, disparou dez pontos em popularidade nas pesquisas depois da matança de 121 pessoas. A população, exausta da violência e da inação do estado, aplaudiu essa operação. Todos esses candidatos mais à direita precisam de votos do centro e, neste espectro, muitos eleitores são contra matança e esse tipo de ação, então tem que 'calibrar' bem. Eu acho que não haverá mais nenhuma operação com estes números, mas que o jogo contra o crime será endurecido, não há dúvidas. E o governo disputará com os governadores de quem são os louros", afirma Cantanhêde.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is the real purpose of Prime Minister's Questions? As an ‘infuriated' listener asks why the Speaker can't force politicians to answer, George Osborne breaks down why PMQs is ‘political theatre' and what most people misunderstand about it, while Ed Balls explains why David Lammy's recent performance revealed the real procedural power the Speaker holds.Then, prompted by a question from Shadow Cabinet minister Victoria Atkins, the pair break down when cross-party support actually works, and when it's just a ‘bear trap' for the opposition.And, reporting from the COP summit in Brazil, the hosts of the Outrage & Optimism podcast ask why the UK failed to put money into the 'Tropical Forests Forever' facility, leading Ed and George to discuss the 'crumbled' political consensus on foreign aid.Finally, the pair delve into the reality of rejoining the EU. Could the UK get the same deal as before? And what's the real obstacle to rejoining - could it be the Euro, the non-negotiable issue of free movement, or something else altogether?Thanks for listening.

EU countries are beginning negotiations on the bloc's next Multiannual Financial Framework, covering 2028 to 2034. The European Commission has proposed a budget of €2 trillion, up from the current €1.2 trillion, with the aim of increasing flexibility for national spending and boosting funding for defence and competitiveness. But as discussions open, why are richer member states drawing the line on how far they're willing to go?Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.Production: By Europod, in co production with Sphera Network.Follow us on:LinkedInInstagram Hosted on Acast.

Når det er knapphet på arbeidskraft, så blir organisering av arbeidstid enda viktigere. KS skal forhandle om arbeidstiden for både lærere og helsepersonell før jul, mens en EU-dom kan endre spillereglene for deltid. Når det er knapphet på arbeidskraft, blir organisering av arbeidstiden helt avgjørende for å sikre gode tjenester. KS' arbeidslivsdirektør Tor Arne Gangsø forklarer i podkasten hvorfor forhandlingene om arbeidstid er noen av de mest krevende, men også viktigste diskusjonene KS og arbeidstakerorganisasjonene skal gjennom i høst.Lærernes arbeidstidsavtale – gått ut på dato?Avtalen om lærernes arbeidstid har vært nesten uendret i over 20 år. Nå etterlyser rektorer og skoleeiere betydelige endringer for å møte nye krav, blant annet fullføringsreformen som gir alle rett til å fullføre videregående opplæring. Samtidig er dette et brennbart tema – lærerstreiken i 2014 hadde arbeidstid som hovedårsak, og debatten går høyt i mediene. Hva skal KS gjøre for å klare å komme til enighet med Utdanningsforbundet? Langvakter i helse og omsorg Snart gjenopptar KS også forhandlinger om langvakter med Fagforbundet, Delta, Norsk sykepleierforbund og Fellesorganisasjonen om langvakter. Langvakter kan gi både bedre tjenester og mer stabile arbeidsforhold. Hva tror Gangsø om mulighetene for enighet? EU-dommer som kan endre praksisTo ferske EU-dommer kan få store konsekvenser for norske regler om deltid. I dag får deltidsansatte overtidsbetaling først når de jobber utover 100 prosent stilling. Dommene slår fast at overtidsbetaling skal gis når man jobber utover sin avtalte stillingsprosent. Hva betyr dette for kommunesektoren? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In deze aflevering van Nieuws van de Week bespreken Jelle van Baardewijk, Martin Visser en Rogier van Bemmel de formatie na het schandaal met Hans Wijers. We gaan in op de fundamentele economische verschillen tussen VVD en GroenLinks-PvdA op het gebied van herverdeling, investeringsklimaat en zorguitgaven. Aan bod komt het interview met Olaf Sleijpen over Eurobonds en de vraag of Europa federaliseert, het dorp Moerdijk dat moet wijken voor de industrie, en de schrijnende zaak van het pleeggezin in Vlaardingen. Verder bespreken we de ChatControl-wetgeving van de EU en de aantasting van het briefgeheim, en het doorbreken van het cordon sanitair in het Europees Parlement

Application volumes are continuing to rise, but finding quality hires remains a challenge. The usual suspects that tend to get the blame are candidates using AI, economic uncertainty, and a continuing decline in job board effectiveness. However, research suggests a more fundamental issue that many organizations overlook. The words in job descriptions matter more than most teams realize. Non-inclusive language is actually a key factor that stops many qualified candidates from applying. At the same time, regulations around pay transparency and anti-discrimination are proliferating across the US and EU, creating complex compliance requirements for job ads that vary by market. Many employers are also outsourcing their job ad creation to generic LLMs that have more potential to amplify bias than they do to eliminate it. So, how should employers utilize technology to ensure inclusivity, compliance, and a high-quality response from their advertising My guest this week is Pil Byriel, CEO and co-founder of Lyser. In our conversation, Pil shares research on how language shapes candidate behavior, why LLM reinforces bias, and the growing complexity of job ad compliance around the world In the interview, we discuss: The impact of language on applications from qualified candidates The human-led research behind inclusive communication Why generic AI LLMs amplify stereotypes and bias Compliance challenges across global markets What actually drives job ad performance Why structure, clarity, and transparency matter Building data-driven recruitment communication Follow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.

"E Jesus, respondendo, disse-lhes: Acautelai-vos, que ninguém vos engane;Porque muitos virão em Meu Nome, dizendo: Eu sou o Cristo; e enganarão a muitos.E ouvireis de guerras e de rumores de guerras; olhai, não vos assusteis, porque é mister que isso tudo aconteça, mas ainda não é o fim. Porquanto se levantará nação contra nação, e reino contra reino, e haverá fomes, e pestes, e terremotos, em vários lugares." Mateus 24:4-7

In this episode, I'm connecting the dots on a critical, game-changing update about talc. This isn't just about the J&J asbestos lawsuits anymore, it's about a new EU classification that's banning the talc mineral itself.There is a massive regulatory gap here, and it highlights a hard truth: we have to be our own regulators. I'm breaking down the recent $1 billion lawsuit, the EU's position on talc in cosmetics, and why "asbestos-free" is not it. I also share what to look for on labels and how to make sure this presumed carcinogen is NOT in your makeup bag.

A prefeita Balneário Camboriú, Juliana Pavan (PSD), disse que “não consegue entender” o que o vereador Jair Renan (PL) diz. Questionada pelo jornalista Upiara Boschi sobre a atuação política do filho 04 de Jair Bolsonaro, Pavan disse o seguinte, há cerca de um mês: “Ele quase não fala, não aparece. Quando fala, fala pouco. Mas, assim, respeito também ele. Ele é um vereador, foi eleito, assim como eu também fui vereadora, fui eleita. Eu respeito o Legislativo, eu vejo que a Câmara de Vereadores é atuante, e cada um ali tem o seu mandato independente. “Eles são funcionários do povo, assim como eu, e foram eleitos para trabalhar pelo povo. Então, é importante. Assim, quando me perguntam sobre ele, eu, muitas vezes eu… Respeito o posicionamento dele, apesar de ele quase não se posicionar, e, quando se posiciona, eu não consigo entender o que ele fala”,Madeleine Lacsko, Duda Teixeira e Ricardo Kertzman comentam:Papo Antagonista é o programa que explica e debate os principais acontecimentos do   dia com análises críticas e aprofundadas sobre a política brasileira e seus bastidores.     Apresentado por Madeleine Lacsko, o programa traz contexto e opinião sobre os temas mais quentes da atualidade.     Com foco em jornalismo, eleições e debate, é um espaço essencial para quem busca informação de qualidade.     Ao vivo de segunda a sexta-feira às 18h.    Apoie o jornalismo Vigilante: 10% de desconto para audiência do Papo Antagonista  https://bit.ly/papoantagonista  Siga O Antagonista no X:  https://x.com/o_antagonista   Acompanhe O Antagonista no canal do WhatsApp. Boletins diários, conteúdos exclusivos em vídeo e muito mais.  https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va2SurQHLHQbI5yJN344  Leia mais em www.oantagonista.com.br | www.crusoe.com.br

Die Schweiz und die USA haben eine Einigung im Zolldeal erzielt. Doch es gibt noch viele offene Fragen. Etwa jene nach den 200 Milliarden Dollar an Direktinvestitionen, die Schweizer Firmen bis 2028 in den USA tätigen sollen. Weitere Themen: US-Präsident Donald Trump ist bei seinen Zöllen zurückgekrebst. Das Weisse Haus hat eine Liste von Lebensmitteln veröffentlicht, die von den Zöllen ausgenommen sind. Warum kommt diese Zollsenkung gerade jetzt? Die Delegierten der Mitte-Partei haben an ihrer Versammlung in Grenchen klar die Ablehnung der «Klimafonds-Initiative» und der «SRG-Initiative» beschossen, über die am 8. März abgestimmt wird. Beim Vertragspaket mit der EU gehen die Meinungen der Delegierten jedoch weit auseinander.

At a recent gathering of Swiss business executives in the White House, the CEO of Rolex presented President Trump with a gold-plated desk clock.The CEO of a precious-metals company presented the president with an engraved gold bar.They were not the official representatives of Switzerland's economic agenda – but the following week, their government announced a trade deal that drastically lowered the U.S. tariff on imported Swiss goods from 39 percent to 15 percent – now on par with the European Union.So were the gifts appropriate for the U.S. president to accept?We hear from University of Minnesota law professor Richard Painter – formerly the chief White House ethics lawyer for President George W.

KATY IS BACK! And we are proud to report that her new baby no longer looks like far-right French politician Éric Zemmour. Relief all around!    It's been a hectic time in Europe, but we're happy to be covering it all—or, you know, a sizable sliver of it—starting with Latvia's potential withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention and the European Parliament's call for new regulation of algorithmic tech in the workplace. Algorithmic management has made its way into all sorts of industries; we dig into whether or not that's a good thing and how new legislation might help to protect us all.   Then it's off to Paris, where tens of thousands of shoppers have already flooded the aisles of the new brick-and-mortar Shein store and thousands of others have been protesting its very existence. That's not only because of Shein's environmentally toxic business model but because of the recent appearance of some despicable products on its website—which has led the French government to threaten to ban the fast-fashion giant. To break it all down, we rang up Paris-based fashion journalist Dana Thomas, author of the book Fashionopolis and host of the podcast The Green Dream.   Mentioned in this episode:   ‘“Cynical and completely reckless” Latvia has the highest femicide rate in Europe — including Russia. Its parliament just voted to exit a treaty protecting women from violence.' - Meduza, November 4, 2025 EU study: 37% of employees are monitored for working hours 1 in 4 workplaces make decisions with algorithms Case studies in algorithmic management Dana's book Fashionopolis Dana's newsletter, The Style Files   This week's Inspiration Station recommendations are the Rosalía album Lux and the podcast series Where Is Jón?, a co-production of RTÉ in Ireland and RÚV in Iceland.    We don't often have sponsors on this podcast but this week, we do: Patagonia. Three years ago, Patagonia named Earth as its only shareholder. But moving more profits to environmental causes hasn't made them a perfect company—let alone a sustainable one. Out now is Patagonia's 2025 Work-in-Progress report: the raw truth about where they're messing up, but also, the latest ways they're rethinking business as usual. You can check out the report here. This podcast was brought to you in cooperation with Euranet Plus, the leading radio network for EU news.

More than 500,000 Russians were granted visas to the European Union's Schengen zone in 2024 — nearly half of which allow for multiple entry over many years. The visitor numbers are down by 90 percent compared with pre-pandemic 2019, but half a million people still isn't nothing. And it's about to seem astronomical, following a recent decision by the European Union to introduce a ban on multi-entry visas to the Schengen zone for Russian citizens. Many have welcomed the E.U.'s new policy as long overdue, justifying the restrictions as a commonsense security measure and a morally righteous punishment for the citizens of a state terrorizing the continent and making war in Ukraine. That has not been the response from most Russian activists and journalists, however. For these people, Europe's new multi-entry visa police will shatter the workflows and evacuation plans that had made it possible to continue limited forms of independent reporting and activism inside Russia. To learn more about these repercussions, The Naked Pravda spoke to journalist and activist Elena Kostyuchenko, author of the 2023 book I Love Russia: Reporting From a Lost Country. In a November 10 social media post, Kostyuchenko laid out why her colleagues are “panicking” about the new E.U. visa policy. She joined Meduza's podcast to break it down further.

Switzerland and the US have reached a trade deal which cuts US tariffs on Swiss imports from 39% to 15%. That's the same as on goods from its neighbours in the European Union. In return Switzerland will shift some manufacturing to America and Swiss companies will invest $200 billion in the US by the end of 2028. But whether Swiss cheese will be included is yet to be confirmed. Andrew Peach speaks to sellers of Swiss cheese in America about how the tariffs have been affecting their business.

Leanna Byrne explores why global tech stocks have taken a hit this week, as investors dump AI favourites like Nvidia and Alphabet, wiping billions off market values.Google is offering to adjust parts of its advertising system to comply with a European Union order tied to a $3.4 billion antitrust penalty.And Dominos UK says Britain has reached “peak pizza” and is now turning to fried chicken in an effort to revive sales.

The European Union is expected to revoke duty-free status for parcel imports through the elimination of the de minimis rule for small parcel imports, which is expected to be fully implemented by 2028. This significant policy change aims to level the playing field for European businesses and limit the influx of low-cost goods, especially considering that 91% of low-value shipments last year originated from China. We also track how global trade volatility and depressed freight rates have severely impacted ocean carriers, leading to Hapag-Lloyd's nine-month profits dropping nearly 50% from $1.83 billion down to $946 million. This decline occurred despite a 9% rise in transport volumes, demonstrating how upward cost pressures and start-up expenses related to the new Gemini Alliance are squeezing carrier margins. Finally, we analyze a proposed strategic pivot for UPS to stay competitive in the high-volume e-commerce space, focusing on a retooling of last-mile delivery. This unified strategy suggests using higher-cost Teamster drivers for the middle mile delivery to UPS Stores, allowing lower-cost independent gig workers to handle the final local delivery, which could drastically lower B2C costs and end the company's reliance on the U.S. Postal Service.

Smith to go quiet with his simple advice to Democrats on their political strategy while on Chris Cuomo's NewsNation show; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez making it clear that she is not just focused on taking on Chuck Schumer, but the entire old guard of the Democratic Party establishment to push the party in the direction of the Democratic Socialists; Karoline Leavitt directly answering a reporter's question about the just released email concerning an interaction between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre; John Fetterman shocking CNN's Dana Bash with his warning about the dangers of the far-left and why Bluesky is filled with death threats against centrist Democrats like himself; Marco Rubio issuing a chilling warning to the European Union if it gets in the way of America's attacks on Venezuelan drug boats trafficking illegal drugs into the country; and much more.

Harley Schlanger, a historian and national spokesman with expertise in the financial industry since the 1980s, offers insights through The LaRouche Organization, where followers can access his analyses on geopolitics and economics. The recent government shutdown, orchestrated by Senate Democrats in a bid to extend Obamacare subsidies set to expire, brutally exposed the fragility of their socialist welfare empire, with SNAP benefits for millions of low-income Americans abruptly halted as leverage in the standoff. Critics highlighted how Democrat-controlled states exploit loopholes in the Affordable Care Act to divert federal funds toward healthcare for undocumented immigrants, turning taxpayer dollars into a slush fund for illegal border crossers while insurance giants like Blue Cross rake in billions in subsidies. This cynical tactic, which risked starving families reliant on food stamps just past Election Day, underscored the Ponzi-like nature of these programs, where Democrats prioritized bailing out their failing healthcare scheme over essential services, forcing Republicans to vote repeatedly for full funding that was repeatedly blocked. NATO and EU leaders are accelerating Europe's slide toward direct conflict with Russia through unprecedented military pacts, including France and Britain's coordination of nuclear forces and missile systems, framing the continent as a militarized frontline in a broader anti-Russian strategy. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused the alliance of already declaring war via Ukraine proxies, with NATO's creeping expansion into the Arctic and Pacific designed to isolate Moscow and provoke escalation, echoing long-suspected Western plots dating back to 1993 documents advocating offensive operations against Russia using Eastern European buffers. As EU elites dismiss peace talks as "more dangerous than war" and ramp up hybrid defenses against perceived Russian threats, voices warn that this desperation masks internal failures on debt and energy, pushing the bloc into a suicidal confrontation that could doom the continent.

Corruption, Chinese Influence, and Protests in Serbia. Ivana Stradner discusses protests in Serbia demanding accountability one year after a canopy collapse killed 16 people, with investigations linking the accident to high-level corruption involving a Chinese company. Leader Vučić suppresses discontent by alleging the West is plotting a "color revolution." Although Vučić aligns his heart with Russia and China, he needs EU money for political survival, prompting him to offer weapons to the West and claim Serbia is on the EU path. 1930 BELGRADE

PREVIEW The rise of the anti-EU, pro-Russia AFD poses a political dilemma in Germany. While the AFD won't win an absolute majority, its potential gain in Bundestag seats could force the remaining parties into an almost impossible "centrist coalition." Such a coalition might require combining groups like the Christian Democrats with the highly detested Greens and the Socialist Party, whose economic policies are antithetical. The German establishment fears this resulting paralysis, comparing it to the situation in Holland. Guest: Anatol Lieven. 1945 BERLIN

SHOW 11-12-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1930 THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT CHINA'S LEADERSHIP. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Allied AI Competition and Submarine Requests. Scott Harold examines the crucial role of allies Japan and South Korea in the AI competition against China. Japan is developing locally tailored AI models built on US technology for use in Southeast Asia. South Korea aims to become the third-largest AI power, offering reliable models to counter China's untrustworthy technology. Harold also discusses South Korea's surprising request for nuclear-powered, conventionally armed submarines to track Chinese and North Korean vessels, signaling a greater public willingness to contribute to China deterrence. 915-930 Rare Earths Monopoly and US Strategy. General Blaine Holt discusses China's challenge to the US and its allies regarding rare earths, noting that China previously threatened to cut off supply. The US is securing deals with partners like Australia and is on track to replace China entirely, despite initial processing reliance on Chinese predatory practices. Holt suggests a two-year recovery is conservative, as technology for domestic processing exists. He also notes China's leadership is in turmoil, trying to buy time through trade deals. 930-945 Russian Economic Stagnation and War Finance. Michael Bernstam confirms that the Russian economy is stagnating, expecting no growth for years due to exhausted resources and reliance on military production. Oil and gas revenues are down significantly due to Western sanctions and high discounts, widening the budget deficit. Russia is increasing taxes, including the VAT, which drives inflation in staples. This economic pain damages the popularity of the war by hurting the low-income population—the primary source of military recruitment. 945-1000 Buckley, Fusionism, and Conservative Integrity. Peter Berkowitz explores William F. Buckley's consolidation of the conservative movement through "fusionism"—blending limited government and social conservatism. Buckley purged the movement of anti-Semites based on core principles. Berkowitz uses this historical context to analyze the controversy surrounding Tucker Carlson giving a platform to Nick Fuentes, who openly celebrates Stalin and Hitler. This incident caused division after the Heritage Foundation's president, Kevin Roberts, defended Carlson, prompting Roberts to issue an apology. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability. Simon Constable analyzes rare earth markets, noting China's dominance is achieved through undercutting prices and buying out competitors. Prices for key industrial commodities like copper and aluminum are up, indicating high demand. Constable also discusses UK political instability, noting that Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer lacks natural leadership and confidence. The major political driver for a potential leadership change is the party's broken promise regarding income taxes, which severely undermines public trust before the next election, 1015-1030 Commodity Markets and UK Political Instability.

Carola Binder discusses the Austrian School of Economics, highlighting its focus on free markets and Ludwig von Mises's opposition to government "interventionism," including rent and price controls. Mises argued these policies distort markets, leading to shortages and inefficiency. Binder emphasizes Mises's belief that economic literacy is a primary civic duty necessary for citizens to reject socialism and interventionist panaceas, especially as new generations are exposed to such ideas. 1045-1100 Austrian Economics, Von Mises, and the Fight Against Interventionism.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Philippine Missile Deployment to Deter China. Captain Jim Fanell reports that the Philippines unveiled its first operational BrahMos anti-ship cruise missile battery in western Luzon to deter Chinese aggression. This supersonic missile system, part of the $7.2 billion Reorizon 3 modernization program, gives the Philippines "skin in the game" near disputed waters like Scarborough Shoal. The deployment signifies a strategy to turn the Philippines into a "porcupine," focusing defense on the West Philippine Sea. The systems are road-mobile, making them difficult to target. 1115-1130 AI, Cyber Attacks, and Nuclear Deterrence. Peter Huessy discusses the challenges to nuclear deterrence posed by AI and cyber intrusions. General Flynn highlighted that attacks on satellites, the backbone of deterrence, could prevent the US from confirming where a launch originated. Huessy emphasizes the need to improve deterrence, noting that the US likely requires presidential authorization for retaliation, unlike potential Russian "dead hand" systems. The biggest risk is misinformation delivered by cyber attacks, although the US maintains stringent protocols and would never launch based solely on a computer warning. 1130-1145 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence. Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio analyze the civil war in Sudan between the SAF and the RSF, noting both factions commit atrocities, including massacres after the capture of El Fasher. The conflict is fueled by opposing global coalitions: the UAE and Russia support the RSF, while Iran, Egypt, and Turkey back the SAF. The Islamic State has called for foreign jihadis to mobilize. Weiss also addresses the complicated violence in Nigeria, differentiating jihadist attacks on Christians from communal farmer-herder conflict. 1145-1200 Sudan Civil War, Global Proxies, and Nigerian Violence.

Cliff May discusses the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), the progenitor of Hamas, founded in 1928 after the Ottoman Caliphate's abolition. The MB's goal is to establish a new Islamic empire. Qatar is highly supportive, hosting Hamas leaders, while the UAE and Saudi Arabia have banned the MB. Turkish President Erdoğan is considered MB-adjacent and sympathetic, supporting Hamas and potentially viewing himself as a future Caliph, despite Turkey being a NATO member. 1230-1245 Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA. Bob Zimmerman covers new records in commercial space: SpaceX achieved 147 launches this year, and one booster tied the Space Shuttle Columbia for 28 reuses. China also set a record with 70 launches but had a failure. Commercial space faced temporary impacts, such as an FAA launch curfew due to a government shutdown and air traffic controller shortages. Zimmerman speculates that Jared Isaacman's conservative-leaning public appearance at Turning Point USA might have convinced Trump to renominate him for NASA Administrator. 1245-100 AM Commercial Space Records and Political Impacts on NASA.

COP30, which began this week in Belém, Brazil, marks a decade since the Paris Agreement was adopted at COP21 in 2015. It's being billed as the “implementation COP”: instead of grand new announcements of international agreements, governments are supposed to be focused on delivering on the commitments they have already made. Host Ed Crooks and regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe welcome back Amy Harder, National Energy Correspondent at Axios. She says not every COP is created equally, and “this is definitely one of those COPs that are more of an ebb than a flow.”But that said, it doesn't mean COP30 will inevitably be unproductive. Amy Myers Jaffe, who is the Director of NYU's Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab, argues that COP30 “could wind up over time being seen as a more successful meeting than people are currently thinking it will be.”Instead of a new comprehensive global framework, the objectives for this year's talks will be a series of smaller-scale sectoral initiatives: scaling sustainable fuels, tackling industrial emissions, protecting forests, and aligning private capital with policy goals. The Energy Gang also welcomes to the show for the first time Lisa Jacobson, who is President of the Business Council for Sustainable Energy. She joins the show from Brazil to give the boots on the ground view as the conference begins. Previous COPs have generally put the mosh emphasis on government action. Lisa says that a focus on what's good for business might be a better way to spur change. Clean energy technologies are winning in many markets around the world because they make commercial sense. Policy can be helpful, but is it ultimately the business case that has to be what pushes the energy transition forward? Ed, Amy, Amy and Lisa debate the changes to US energy and climate policy, China's emissions trajectory, the global impact of EU measures, and how much of the clean energy build-out is now driven by economics rather than politics. And they wonder whether there is a central paradox in global climate policy. If the future of energy will be decided by market forces and national interests, not by anything that happens at COP30, is that a sign that the series of past COPs has been a success? We've got more coverage of COP30 coming soon, so make sure you're following us for all the key news and insight from Brazil.
