Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a deal Wednesday meant to end the Middle East war, causing it to go into effect two days earlier than originally envisioned, with Tehran agreeing to dilute its enriched uranium in return for large-scale economic relief. Magid takes us through the points of primary concern for Israel, including its right of self-defense against Hezbollah attacks. In a lengthy press conference at the G7 summit in France yesterday, Trump claimed Iran should be allowed to keep some of its ballistic missiles. He also repeatedly castigated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, including stating he is less justified in criticizing the memorandum of understanding that Trump signed with Iran because the Israeli premier purportedly pulled out of a joint operation to kill top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in 2020. We hear other sharp criticisms of Netanyahu, including accusations of disproportionate force. In the second half of the program, Magid brings his exclusive scoop that the US is in talks with the Palestinian Authority about boosting what has been a strained bilateral relationship, as Washington seeks Ramallah’s cooperation to advance its landmark policy initiatives in the region. And who is chaperoning the reforms DC is seeking? Enter Saudi Arabia. And finally, Magid explains how former UK prime minister Tony Blair is taking on a larger role in the Board of Peace, where he will be tasked with managing the various mechanisms that are meant to oversee the postwar management of Gaza. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates. For further reading: US, Iran sign war-ending deal, which enters into effect 2 days earlier than planned ‘Shall not develop nuclear weapons’: The 14-point memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran As deal takes force, Trump says ‘it’s okay’ for Iran to have some ballistic missiles Trump suggests Israel in no place to criticize Iran deal since it backed out of 2020 strike on Soleimani US weighs boosting ties with PA as it seeks to advance Gaza plan and Abraham Accords Tony Blair takes on larger role as US-led Board of Peace struggles to advance Gaza plan Gaza mediators glum on chances for breakthrough before Israeli elections in the fall Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Is war rational? The great philosopher of war, Carl von Clausewitz, was a product of three schools of education: the classical tradition of Aristotle, the enlightenment philosophers such as Kant, and the practical experience of Napoleon. Each of these three challenged and opposed the other two. His work, On War expresses this tension and opposition. In his effort to develop a comprehensive theory of war, he had to deal with the many instances where the reality of war seemed to defy any coherent framework, where the things which should happen in war are contradicted by what actually happens. (This fits with his assigning the element of probability and chance to the military leg of his famous triad.) “Consequently,” he wrote, “it would be an obvious fallacy to imagine war between civilized peoples as resulting merely from a rational act on the part of their governments…” If it did, he concluded, then in the end, war would never need to be fought. But wars are fought. Is war itself then, irrational? Music: Traditional, The Army Strings, Garryowen (Public Domain) Copland, A. & United States Marine Band.

Since at least the 1940's, policy and strategic thinking uses the so-called rational actor model in determining what competitors and partners may do, how to respond to them, and how they may react in return. Even considering variations to that model to explain less than optimal choices by these actors, there appears to be enough irrationality by state and non-state actors to call into question whether continued use of the rational actor model is itself rational.

By many accounts, he was an unsavory character, but Caravaggio was also a revolutionary and influential painter of the late 16th century in Rome, Naples, and Sicily.

Hear more about it from exhibition curator and Mint President & CEO Todd Herman on this episode of Piedmont Arts.

This week in French Connections we take a step away from the news and focus on France's love for a specific type of musical ensemble, known as a fanfare. Somewhere between a marching band and a brass band, "la fanfare" is an institution in France and it says a lot about the country because its history partially mirrors the history of France. Join us for a closer look inside the country's loudest tradition.

Cette semaine, dans La Vie d'avant, rendez-vous dans les locaux de Provoya, une association étudiante. On est en 1964, la responsable du projet et deux usagers expliquent le principe : mettre en relation des passagers et des automobilistes qui cherchent à se déplacer à moindre coût ou rencontrer d'autres voyageurs aventureux. C'est l'ancêtre de Blablacar ! A l'époque, pas d'application numérique, mais un système de fiches. Depuis, le covoiturage est devenu une pratique courante, encouragée par les pouvoirs publics pour limiter le trafic et la pollution.*** Crédits archive *** Extrait de l'émission de télévision "Seize millions de jeunes" de André Harris et Alain de Sedouy - Journaliste: Michel Friedman - Reportage : "L'auto-stop" - RTF - 1964.***Crédits podcast Documentaliste : Anne Brulant - Textes : Lætitia Fourmond, Anouk Valverde - Restauration et mixage : Ian Debeerst, Quentin Geffroy - Enregistrement : Vincent Dupuis, Guillaume Solignat, Laurent Thomas - Voix off : Clara De Antoni - Musique(s) avec l'aimable autorisation d'Universal Production Music France - Chargée de production : Delphine Lambard - Cheffe de projet : Lætitia Fourmond - Chargée de projet : Anouk Valverde - Responsable éditoriale : Zoé Macheret - Un podcast INA.

In this episode of Ojai Talk of the Town, we sit down with photographer Joe Sohm and acclaimed composer Peter Boyer to explore their sweeping new collaboration, American Mosaic — a multimedia concert work created in the lead-up to America's 250th anniversary.Boyer is widely regarded as one of the most frequently performed American orchestral composers of his generation, with more than 900 performances of his works by over 300 orchestras worldwide. His breakthrough piece, Ellis Island: The Dream of America, a moving work for actors and orchestra built on immigrant narratives, has become one of the most performed contemporary American orchestral works of the past two decades, earning a Grammy nomination and national broadcast on PBS. His commissions read like a survey of American cultural institutions: the Boston Pops, the National Symphony Orchestra, the Pacific Symphony, and even “The President's Own” United States Marine Band, which premiered his Fanfare for Tomorrow at the 2021 presidential inauguration. Beyond the concert hall, Boyer has worked extensively in film and television, orchestrating scores for major Hollywood composers across dozens of films — bringing a cinematic sweep and emotional immediacy that carries directly into his orchestral writing. That sensibility is central to American Mosaic.The project brings together Sohm's decades-long photographic journey across all 50 states — his Visions of America — with Boyer's richly textured score and spoken narration. Structured in 11 continuous movements, the 32-minute work is designed as a unified experience of image, sound, and story: a portrait of the American spirit that is both expansive and intimate.We talk about how a lifetime of visual observation becomes musical language, how Boyer approaches composing for narrative and national identity, and how both artists wrestle with the central question of the project: how do you represent a country this vast, this contradictory, this unfinished?With a 2026 premiere at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and a growing national tour — commissioned by leading orchestras including the National Symphony Orchestra and Pacific Symphony — American Mosaic positions itself as a defining artistic statement for this historic moment.This conversation is about scale, ambition, and synthesis—what happens when two master practitioners attempt to translate America itself into art.Learn more about Peter and Joe ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Boyerhttps://www.visionsofamerica.com/

By the time anyone reads or listens to this podcast, the situation with Iran may be completely different than when I write this. In keeping with the intent of this podcast series, however, I thought it might be worthwhile to explore the possibility of intervention in Iran in a way that is in line with the enduring principles of war. In doing this I am not advocating such an intervention. Neither do I express any opinion about whether or not it is even a good idea. My intent is to frame a possible military intervention within the framework of time proven successful strategy and Just War criteria. Given the record of U.S. military interventions following the first Gulf War, I am confident that whatever we do regarding Iran will completely ignore that framework.

S6:E7 Loralyn Mears, PhD, aka "Dr. LL," brings you thoughtful conversations with entrepreneurs and small business leaders navigating visibility, leadership, and growth. Thank you for being here. Overview There's a specific kind of fatigue that comes from "doing the right things" and still feeling ignored. You show up consistently, you post, you refine the offer, you keep building, and yet traction stays unpredictable. Often the issue is not effort, it's misalignment: the message is landing in the wrong place, or the experience is quietly breaking trust before people ever become customers. This is one of those patterns that looks like a marketing problem, but behaves like a credibility problem.
