This week, Thomas sits down with journalist Matthew Green to explore the hidden effects of “shadow trauma” and what it takes to heal and repair after acting against your own ethics.From personal missteps to moral injury to ancestral and historical trauma, we all carry the weight of transgression. But often, the shame that accompanies this holds us back from integration and healing.Thomas and Matthew discuss how to move beyond isolation and repression to bring our vulnerabilities into safe, healing environments where we can reintegrate these fragmented shadow parts, repair relationships, and restore our connection to our true selves.✨ Watch the video version of this episode on YouTube:
The World Cup kicked off over the weekend, and so far the mood is meh. Fans are fuming over sell-your-kidney ticket prices, frightened by reports that ICE may target matches, tailgates, and sports bars, and generally feeling down on this quadrennial celebration. We wanted to know: Is there any joy left in this thing? So we called up Simon Kuper. He's a columnist at the Financial Times, "one of the best sportswriters in the English language today" (The New Yorker), and author of the Next Big Idea Club must-read World Cup Fever. He's also attended every World Cup since 1990. Simon tells us how the tournament bridges political divides, why suicides decline during the World Cup, whether “sportswashing” really works, and which storylines to follow, no matter if you're a die-hard footy fan or a first-time viewer.

Known to millions as Mrs. Moneypenny from her 16 year Financial Times column, Heather has been an investment banker, executive search entrepreneur, Edinburgh Fringe performer, off Broadway actress, PhD holder, chartered accountant and now Provost of Heriot-Watt University Dubai, overseeing 5,500 students and 600 staff. She qualified as a chartered accountant three weeks before her 60th birthday. She borrowed £1.8 million personally to buy a business, then gifted it to her staff. She co-founded the 30% Club when women held just 12% of FTSE board seats. It is now 45%. This conversation covers all of it. Why she rejects guilt and regret as wasted emotions. What structural barriers actually stop women from getting ahead and how to dismantle them. Why Dubai's greatest advantage is not the skyline but the connectivity and free movement of capital and labour that Europe has quietly forgotten. And what she really thinks about the value of a university degree. Heather also shares the story behind the Taylor Bennett Foundation, built to help Black and minority ethnic graduates break into professional services, funded from her own dividends, and the moment she knew it was working.

International trade used to be a subject reserved for farmers and exporters. Most of us rarely thought about it as long as the cars kept coming and the shelves were stocked at the supermarket. The system seemed to work. But recent years have shown how quickly tariffs, supply chain disruptions and geopolitical tensions can affect prices, jobs, KiwiSaver balances and economic security. Dr Chad Bown, former chief economist at the U.S. State Department under President Biden, says trade is no longer just about imports and exports, it's about who gets to shape the future. Together with Financial Times columnist Soumaya Keynes, he's co-written a book in layman's terms about modern trade called How to Win a Trade War: An Optimistic Guide to an Anxious Global Economy.
While the best trade war strategy is to not have a trade war, this seems to no longer be an option. In their new book 'How to Win a Trade War' the goal of Soumaya Keynes and Chad Bown is to “… arm you with the knowledge to fight [because] these battles are going to last for a very long time.” Soumaya and Chad join EconoFact Chats to discuss the effects of the rise of China in the world trading system, the policy approaches taken by the United States, the European Union, and other countries, the role of multinational corporations, the intersection of trade and national security, and the efficacy of defensive policies (like limiting dependence on foreign goods) and offensive strategies (like tariffs). Soumaya Keynes is an economics columnist at the Financial Times and host of The Economics Show with Soumaya Keynes. Chad Bown is a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and served as Chief Economist at the State Department in the Biden administration.
Welcome to the age of oligarchy, where money buys you influence, where the rich and powerful like to mingle and party and where self-enrichment, corruption and tax evasion are commonplace. Where democracy is threatened by the ultra-wealthy. In this first episode of a new four-part series, we dissect the modern oligarchy with Pieter Omtzigt and Paul Caruana Galizia.When you think of oligarchs, you probably imagine ultra-wealthy Russians with Vladimir Putin's number in their phone. But oligarchy has spread to the Western world as well. Tech tycoons are closely intertwined with power, the United States is even led by an oligarch. In this new series we explore the shadowy network of billionaires, politicians, celebrities, and intellectuals – we introduce you: the new oligarchs.In this first episode, we speak with journalist Paul Caruana Galizia (Financial Times, podcast Londongrad). He wrote a book about the aftermath of the murder of his mother, Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, who investigated corruption on her home island. Paul Caruana Galizia closely examined the rise of Evgeny Lebedev, the son of a spy who secured a seat in the House of Lords with the help of former prime minister Boris Johnson. Recently, he has been researching Donald Trump's donors and how they have benefited from his second term.Paul Caruana Galizia is an investigative reporter at the Financial Times. He became a journalist in 2018 after his mother Daphne's assassination and has since won ten journalism awards. He has also received the Magnitsky and Anderson-Lucas-Norman awards for campaigning for justice for his mother.Pieter Omtzigt is a former politician and member of the Dutch parliament. On behalf of the Council of Europe, Omtzigt investigated the functioning of the rule of law in Malta following the murder of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.Programme editor: Ianthe MosselmanSupported by: VfondsZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
2026-06-13 | UPDATES #213 | How Putin's regime ends: the Abramovich Kyiv mission, the Beria precedent and why a chasm is opening between Putin, reality and his elites. 10 June 2026 — the most strategically consequential diplomatic event of the spring of 2026 was held in a Kyiv residence on 21 may, was disclosed by Putin himself at SPIEF on 5 June, and has now re-written the Russian elite's decisional arithmetic. But we must ask, is Abramovich negotiating on behalf of Putin, or the elites that may increasingly be diverging from him, in terms of their perceived interests. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Ahana Datta Fasel began as an ethical hacker for the British government before becoming cyber chief at the Financial Times, where nation-state actors targeting journalists became a daily reality. Her PhD on the political economy of digital espionage produced Full Stack Spies: Cyber Espionage in the Age of US-China Competition, which argues that cyber operations function as a mirror of the states behind them — their psychology, risk tolerances, and strategic ambitions made visible. She discusses with Chris how China has compensated for limited tradecraft sophistication with persistent scale and a dispersed ecosystem of front companies over three decades; what a leaked Chengdu hacker group chat reveals about the ego rivalries and financial anxieties driving operational decisions; what Operation Triangulation suggests about American reliance on private contractors; and why the defining fault line of this era isn't between peace and war, but between peace and "not war."

The week starts with Dwayne Johnson's "The Red Pill" — the most honest structural diagnosis of Oregon's innovation economy I've read in years, from someone who's been inside the system for two decades, not outside it. Oregon fell from #7 to #41 in CNBC's Top States for Business across the Brown era; Oregon got second in semiconductor productivity and 0.002% of federal CHIPS R&D funds. His phrase: "Oregon runs on cliques, not networks." Then Friday, Engine's Innovation Flywheel report lands — four dimensions for a healthy innovation ecosystem, three of which Portland already has covered, and one — Center of Gravity — that's the exact tripwire Dwayne was pointing at.

We are four wide on this busy Friday with a lot of news to discuss as the week closes before the U.S. Open. Brendan is joined by KVV, Joseph, and PJ. They begin with the Golf Digest report on allegations against Phil Mickelson of nonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact with a female employee at his home club that led to his removal from said club. They discuss the late stage spiral of Phil, and the seriousness of this now most recent allegation, the mess he’s made of his career, what could have been, and what will never be now. Then they get into a spate of LIV news from reports on the future of its remaining four events in the Financial Times, to a report on confusion about the contracts for players like Jon Rahm, to one more about the Australian Open perhaps becoming the “death knell” of LIV’s reimagined plans. Joseph brings some provocative comments about the TPC Toronto test for the Canadian Open and the PGA Tour putting bumpers up for the highest level of pro golf. KVV has a Flashback segment on a former rules kerfuffle at a U.S. Open that had players tweeting angrily all through the evening. Then they close with a wide-ranging PJ minute on the Knicks, an all time win, and an all time rant about Carmelo’s place in franchise lore.

The World Cup descends on North America this week, bringing with it billions of viewers, billions of dollars, and no shortage of political controversy. But according to Financial Times columnist Simon Kuper, none of that is new - the tournament has always reflected the world around it. On GZERO World, Kuper and Ian Bremmer discuss how national teams have become flashpoints in debates over immigration and identity, why FIFA remains one of the world's most powerful and least accountable organizations, how Iran's World Cup campaign could become a geopolitical spectacle, and what the tournament reveals about nationalism, belonging, and power in the modern world. Yet for all the politics, money, and controversy surrounding the tournament, Kuper argues the World Cup remains one of the few events capable of captivating entire countries and bringing billions of people together. The result is a tournament that reflects the hopes, divisions, and identities of the nations watching it.

More than 100 days since the US and Israel launched co-ordinated strikes on Iran on February 28, the war that was supposed to eliminate its threat and reshape the region is at a crossroads. Iran's military is still firing. Its proxies are still active. Hezbollah continues to engage Israeli forces on the ground in southern Lebanon. The Houthis have re-entered the equation, threatening to blockade the Red Sea. And the Iranian regime, in a new form, is intact. This week, US President Donald Trump made his position clear in an interview with the Financial Times. He said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have no choice but to accept a deal with Iran. And then, in a striking public statement, said he calls the shots. Not Netanyahu. So is this a genuine rift between the two allies, or just the latest rough patch in a relationship that has long been complicated? In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher speaks to two people who have spent decades at the centre of the US-Israel relationship: Tom Nides, US ambassador to Israel under former president Joe Biden, and Ehud Olmert, prime minister of Israel from 2006 to 2009.

This week's show dives straight into safety and equipment maker Halma (HLMA), which reported its full-year results on Thursday morning. It may be time to re-evaluate the company's description as one of the FTSE 100's least newsworthy businesses – it has been reaping the rewards of the AI boom. But with increased interest comes heightened expectations, and perhaps this is why its shares tumbled by 15 per cent on the day of the results. Mark Robinson digs into the details on whether this ‘quality stock' is more volatile than it once was.We then turn to big pharma giant GSK (GSK). The drugmaker made its largest deal in over a decade earlier this week with the acquisition of US cancer biotech Nuvalent. Julian Hofmann takes a look at the $11bn deal and what it means for the future of the pharmaceutical company.Finally we discuss venture capital trust Molten Ventures (GROW), whose investments in the likes of fintech Revolut and microsatellite operator ICEYE have helped boost its returns. Mark is back to explore its portfolio and looks at whether the trust is morphing into something different.Timestamps00:00 Introduction01:22 Halma14:47 GSK23:06 Molten Ventures32:25 OutroListen to more podcasts from Investors' Chronicle on Apple, Spotify and YouTubeInvestors' Chronicle has supported private investors in the UK for over 160 years by highlighting rewarding investment opportunities.

On this week's episode, Graig Suvannavejh, Eric Schmidt, Paul Matteis and Financial Times' Oliver Barnes kicked off with the biotech market, with the XBI in positive territory and 12 biotech IPOs completed so far this year. They expected the IPO window to remain open for high-quality private companies. The group also overviewed recent financings, including SonoThera's $125 million Series B, City Therapeutics' $100 million Series B, Ethyreal's $101 million Series A, and Summit's decision to cancel a $500 million secondary offering. In data news, the co-hosts covered Tango's combination data with Revolution Medicines' RAS inhibitor. They also discussed Incyte's acquisition of Vega Therapeutics as a pipeline-building move ahead of Jakafi's 2028 patent expiration and J&J's acquisition of Firefly, with the RAS inhibitor space expected to remain hot. The group also discussed GSK's acquisition of Nuvalent -- its largest deal to date -- for two late-stage lung cancer assets. Oliver added perspective on biotech deal leaks, following the Incyte/Vega deal and GSK/Nuvalent deals this week. In partnership updates, Novartis expanded its molecular glue work with Orionis, Lilly licensed an Alzheimer's candidate from AlzeCure, and Corvus supported China partner Angel Pharmaceuticals. The episode concluded with the latest in rare disease and gene therapy, covering Novartis' FSHD program, FDA flexibility, Rett syndrome programs, and Sensorion's exit from hearing loss development. *This episode aired on June 12, 2026.
In this episode of Media Confidential, Alan questions the quality of reporting around the Henry Nowak case, and questions why so many in the media are focusing on the cost of DEI training in the police and neglecting to mention the recent Louise Casey report into racism in the police force.They also discuss how the media is amplifying the messages of politicians such as Nigel Farage when Nowak's family has called for calm.Our hosts talk about the joint investigation into the conduct of former newspaper owner David Sullivan by BBC Panorama and the Times, and they raise questions of why he was banned from owning a local newspaper in the 1980s and how the investigation is the product of years of work for the two outlets.They also discuss new director general Matt Brittin's interview with the Financial Times and what it reveals about his views on the BBC's future, including its digital offering. Plus: rumours are swirling about who will take on the vacant Head of News position.They also respond to a listener question about how to implement AI in a newsroom to get the best features without impacting quality journalism.

What does strategy really mean when the word is everywhere, yet real strategic practice remains so rare?In this solo episode, David Lancefield takes on one of the most overused and misunderstood ideas in business. Drawing on nearly 30 years advising CEOs, C-suite leaders, founders, and leadership teams, he makes the case for a broader, more practical, and more human view of strategy.David explores why strategy so often gets trapped in decks, town halls, and top-level statements, while people across organisations are left unclear on the choices they can make and the contribution they can bring. He argues for a different approach: one that connects strategy with foresight, participation, ecosystems, self-management, and the wise use of AI — and brings it into the everyday moments that shape how we live and lead.If you want to think more clearly, act more intentionally, and raise your strategic game in your organisation, your team, and your own life, this episode will give you a fresh lens and a practical way forward.“Strategy is a practice for everyone, professional or personal.” – David LancefieldYou'll hear about:Why strategy is treated as distant and eliteStrategy defined: choices that move you to betterWhy strategy and execution must stay togetherStrategies that get announced but never translated downWhy more people need confidence to be strategicThe growing importance of foresight within strategyWhat open strategy looks like in practiceWhy ecosystems should shape strategy design and deliveryHow self-managed teams raise the bar for strategyWhere AI helps in strategy and where it doesn'tThe seven daily moments that make or break a dayWhy strategy is a practice for everyoneMore about DavidDavid Lancefield is a strategy and leadership advisor, coach, writer, and speaker who works with CEOs, C-suite executives, and founders at some of the world's top organisations.

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) The US and Iran exchanged strikes overnight after President Trump retaliated against Tehran for shooting down an American Apache helicopter. The US military said it had completed an operation that saw fighter jets strike Iranian air defenses, ground control stations, and radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran launched missiles on four American targets and fired drones at the US's main naval base in the Middle East, with no immediate reports of casualties in any of the attacks.2) Progressive Democrat Graham Platner won the party's Senate primary in Maine with about 72% support. Platner's campaign was marked by accusations of past misbehavior, including a Nazi symbol tattoo and disturbing behavior towards ex-girlfriends, which he has denied or acknowledged as mistakes. Platner will face Republican incumbent Susan Collins in the November Senate race, which Democrats consider crucial to reclaiming the chamber. Incumbent Lindsey Graham, who was endorsed by President Trump, is projected to win the Republican Senate primary in South Carolina, according to DDHQ. Representative Nancy Mace, once a close Trump ally, finished in last place in the state's gubernatorial race, saying her support for releasing the Epstein files is why she lost. Trump-backed Pamela Evette, South Carolina's lieutenant governor, and state attorney general Alan Wilson advanced to a runoff.3) Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is set to appear*behind closed doors before the House panelinvestigating Jeffrey Epstein. Gates has reportedly been getting some help from Jake Greenberg, who, according to the New York Times, was spearheading the oversight panel's Epstein inquiry until December. The Gates Foundation, which has launched an external review of Gates' ties with Epstein, told the Financial Times that it regretted "having any employees interact with Epstein in any way." Gates has not been charged with anything and has called his relationship with Epstein a "huge mistake" and denied any wrongdoing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Aalberts keert, over twee weken, terug in de AEX. Het technologiebedrijf was daar jaren te vinden, maar verdween tijdens de coronapandemie. Om nu dus weer z'n comeback te maken. Het neemt het plekje in van koffieboer JDE Peet's, dat juist van de beurs vertrekt. Een aandeel dat in een half jaar al zo'n 40 procent is gestegen. Goede reden voor ons om het te hebben over dit aandeel. Blijft dit aandeel nu wél langer in de hoofdindex? En zit er nog groei in het aandeel. Hebben we het ook over een andere promotie, die van CSG. Het defensiebedrijf rolt de Midkap-index in. Verder staan we stil bij de beursgang van SpaceX. Het wil vrijdag 75 miljard dollar ophalen, maar kan 250 (!) miljard dollar krijgen. Geld dat vooral van particulieren komt. Zelfs van Chinezen, die op creatieve manieren de regels van de regering omzeilen. Ook staan we stil bij kwartaalrapportages. Moeten die niet verplicht terugkeren in Europa? En we bespreken de bizarre cijfers van TSMC. Die overschaduwd worden door een gerucht over nieuwe exportrestricties.

BP ha atravesado en los últimos meses una etapa de fuerte inestabilidad institucional, marcada por cambios profundos en su dirección. Destaca el nombramiento de Meg O'Neill como nueva consejera delegada de la petrolera. Se trata de un hecho histórico, ya que es la primera persona externa que asume el cargo, procedente de la competidora Woodside Energy. O'Neill sustituyó a Murray Auchincloss, que había estado poco más de un año al frente de la empresa en un contexto de transformación estratégica del grupo energético global actual. Este relevo se enmarca en la estrategia impulsada por Albert Manifold, presidente desde julio de 2025, con el objetivo de redefinir el rumbo del grupo. Su plan buscaba reforzar el negocio de petróleo y gas, reduciendo el peso de las renovables. También pretendía aumentar la rentabilidad y mejorar la disciplina de costes. Dentro de esta hoja de ruta, la elección de O'Neill respondía a su experiencia y prestigio en Woodside en un entorno energético cambiante y de alta presión global. Sin embargo, el 26 de mayo la situación dio un giro con la destitución de Albert Manifold. La compañía alegó problemas de supervisión y conducta inaceptables, según Amanda Blanc, directora independiente sénior. Ocho meses después de su llegada, Manifold dejó la presidencia y fue sustituido provisionalmente por Ian Tyler como presidente interino. Aunque se reconoció su aporte al proceso de transformación, los problemas internos pesaron en su continuidad. El relevo generó incertidumbre en los mercados financieros global del sector energético. El anuncio tuvo un impacto inmediato en los mercados, con una caída de hasta el 10% en la cotización de BP durante la jornada, cerrando con un descenso cercano al 5%. Desde entonces, persiste la incertidumbre entre inversores, y el Financial Times ha señalado dudas sobre la estrategia futura. Manifold afirmó que su salida fue sin aviso. También se registraron salidas de William Lin y Emma Delaney este año BP.

オリックスの大阪本社英紙フィナンシャル・タイムズは10日、米資産運用大手アポロ・グローバル・マネジメントが日本の生命保険会社の買収を検討していると報じた。 U.S. asset management company Apollo Global Management Inc. is seeking to buy a life insurer in Japan to gain market share in the country, according to the Financial Times.
Episode 112 opens with the bombshell buried inside a Barak Ravid Axios piece: Trump told Netanyahu "BB, you better be careful or you will be on your own very soon." Ghost walks through the full timeline of how Israel struck Beirut without telling the White House, only alerting CENTCOM, Iran retaliated, five countries called Trump begging him to press Netanyahu, and Trump told the Financial Times he calls all the shots, Netanyahu calls none. Mark Levin's Sunday night Fox meltdown gets the full Ghost treatment: calling Trump desperate, activating the Hasbara influencer network, and signaling that the diaspora now sees the rug being pulled. Ghost then delivers his most complete retrospective yet on why Trump had to inflate Israel's ego first, tracing it back to the 2020 Abraham Accords standoff and Netanyahu congratulating Biden on election night. Pakistan's prime minister and army chief co-sign a sealed letter delivered directly to the Iranian Ayatollah, bypassing every normal diplomatic channel. France bans Smotrich, Italy investigates Ben Gavir, and nine countries have now barred one or both Israeli ministers. A gas pipeline explosion in Dagestan sits precisely on the SCO North South Transport Corridor, and Ghost calls it plainly: Ukraine, CIA, and Mossad sabotage.
Le operazioni di fusione e acquisizione (M&A) in Italia sono spesso influenzate tanto dalla politica e dalle personalità quanto dalla massimizzazione del profitto. Questo rende l'acquisizione di Monte dei Paschi di Siena da parte di Banca Intesa, per un valore di 30 miliardi di euro, una rara eccezione." È quanto scrive il Financial Times in un editoriale pubblicato nella sezione Lex dal titolo "L'offerta di Intesa per il Monte dei Paschi di Siena ripristina un po' di buon senso nella scena delle Fusioni e Acquisizioni italiane". "Intesa ha scelto l'obiettivo giusto, nel senso che le prospettive di MPS, istituto di credito toscano, non sono brillanti. La banca è alle prese con la complessa integrazione della rivale Mediobanca, acquisita lo scorso anno. Inoltre, la sua governance è estremamente fragile: gli azionisti, in perenne conflitto tra loro, hanno recentemente estromesso e reintegrato l'amministratore delegato Luigi Lovaglio in rapida successione. La scorsa settimana, secondo i dati di S&P Capital IQ, Mps è stata quotata a un prezzo inferiore al suo valore contabile tangibile, risultando quindi sottovalutata rispetto agli standard bancari europei", osserva il quotidiano della City. Nella sua mossa su Mps "Intesa sarà difficile da battere: secondo i calcoli di Lex, potrebbe migliorare la sua offerta di un paio di miliardi senza compromettere il valore dell'azienda. Ma la finanza non racconta tutta la storia. Se la banca dovesse avere successo, si ritroverebbe anche con la quota del 16% di Mediobanca in Generali, ampiamente considerata un asset strategico per l'Italia. Per questo motivo, una vittoria di Intesa potrebbe essere allettante anche per il Primo Ministro Giorgia Meloni, in quanto ridurrebbe le possibilità che Generali finisca in mani straniere. La differenza rispetto ad altri accordi graditi a Roma è che anche il capitalismo italiano potrebbe considerare questo un successo", scrive il Financial Times.Il commento di Salvatore Rossi, economista, dal 2013 al 2019 ha ricoperto la carica di direttore generale di Banca d'Italia e Daniel Gros, direttore Institute for European Policy Making, Bocconi.Brennero, maxi danni dai divieti «serve l'arbitro Ue per i valichi»Quando si blocca il Brennero, non si fermano soltanto i camion: si rallentano l'economia italiana, l'export, l'agroalimentare, la manifattura, la continuità delle forniture verso il Nord Europa e gli approvvigionamenti di materie prime e semilavorati alle nostre industrie di trasformazione. Il Brennero è l'asse portante del corridoio Scandinavo-Mediterraneo e un'infrastruttura europea strategica per il sistema economico. Sul tema Brennero servono soluzioni europee condivise, non divieti unilaterali. Tra le richieste: il completamento nei tempi previsti del tunnel ferroviario di base (Bbt) e delle relative tratte di accesso per ampliare la capacità del trasporto su rotaia, investimenti per rendere l'autostrada A22 del Brennero ancora più moderna, l'eliminazione dei divieti di transito notturno in Tirolo. Così Leopoldo Destro, vicepresidente di Confindustria per i trasporti, la logistica e l'industria del Turismo, sintetizza il sentimento delle imprese. Destro è a Trento, ospite di un convegno organizzato da Confindustria Regionale Tentino-Alto Adige dove si discute di Brennero e dell'importanza di questo corridoio alpino per tutta l'economia italiana. Presenti, tra gli altri, i presidenti di Confindustria Trentino-Alto Adige, Alexander Rieper; Confindustria Trento, Lorenzo Delladio; Confindustria Veneto, Raffaele Boscaini; il presidente della Provincia autonomia di Trento, Maurizio Fugatti. In un videomessaggio, il ministro delle Infrastrutture Matteo Salvini, ribadisce l'attenzione del governo verso i territori del Trentino-Alto Adige e annuncia: «Siamo al 95% degli scavi della nuova galleria ferroviaria del Brennero (linea Fortezza-Innsbruck), con l'obiettivo di aprire l'opera nel 2033 per ridurre i tempi di collegamento tra l'Italia e il cuore dell'Europa». È intervenuto Leopoldo Destro, vicepresidente di Confindustria per Trasporti, Logistica e Industria del Turismo.Ponte sullo Stretto, la procura di Roma indaga per corruzioneLa Procura di Roma indaga per corruzione e rivelazione del segreto di ufficio nell ambito del progetto per la realizzazione del Ponte sullo Stretto di Messina. In base a quanto emerge da una nota diffusa dall ufficio giudiziario, l ufficio ha delegato i carabinieri del Ros all esecuzione di un decreto di perquisizione a carico di tre persone tra cui un ex presidente aggiunto dalla Corte di Conti, Tommaso Miele, (in quiescenza dal febbraio scorso), l'avvocato già Consigliere di amministrazione della società Stretto di Messina Spa , Giacomo Francesco Saccomanno, e l'imprenditore Vincenzo Virgoglio, indicato come responsabile delle relazioni esterne dell'associazione "Accademia Calabria". Le indagini hanno documentato le condotte dei tre indagati tese a condizionare l esame di legittimità della Corte dei Conti sull approvazione del progetto definitivo per la realizzazione dell opera pubblica. Secondo quanto emerge dalla nota diffusa dalla Procura capitolina l avvocato e l imprenditore indagati al fine di condizionare il citato esame della Corte dei Conti in favore della società Stretto di Messina Spa , avrebbero avvicinato il giudice contabile promettendogli il loro appoggio per ricoprire cariche in enti di diritto pubblico dopo il suo pensionamento, subordinandolo alla sua fattiva azione per il concretizzarsi dell esigenza citata . Secondo l impianto accusatorio i due avrebbero anche tentato di avvicinare altri magistrati ritenuti utili agli interessi del gruppo per la realizzazione dell opera infrastrutturale e rivelato, a soggetti terzi, notizie coperte da segreto, acquisite dal giudice della Corte dei Conti indagato. Quest ultimo, dal canto suo, avrebbe offerto - si legge nella nota - la propria disponibilità, fornendo costanti aggiornamenti sull andamento della procedura condotta dalla Corte Contabile, rivelando informazioni riservate sugli orientamenti dei colleghi magistrati contabili e sullo sviluppo della relativa Camera di Consiglio in adunanza plenaria della Corte stessa . Inoltre il magistrato contabile avrebbe esaminato la decisione sfavorevole del 29 ottobre del 2025, impegnandosi a predisporre, nell interesse della Stretto di Messina Spa , una memoria sulla vicenda da consegnare al commercialista della società manifestando, in cambio, l interesse a diventare Presidente dell'Antitrust o di una società partecipata. Il commento di Ivan Cimarusti, Il Sole 24 Ore.

Be intentional. Design Your New Life in Retirement. Our next groups start in September. The very early registration discount ends June 21st. Learn more. What if everything you've been told about retirement is quietly working against you? John Coleman has spent his career around money and purpose, which makes his message all the more striking: money is a tool, not the point. In his new book, Good Money: Six Steps to Building a Financial Life with Purpose, he rethinks personal finance around human flourishing, and one of his steps reframes retirement itself: save for freedom, not retirement. We explore why the conventional retirement script, a withdrawl into pure leisure, carries real costs to meaning, community, and health; how continued, self-directed work changes both the math and the meaning of your plan; why your worth is never your net worth; and how to design your next chapter deliberately. It's a conversation that bridges the financial and non-financial sides of retirement, looks at retirement and purpose, and gives you a fresh way to think about what comes next. John Coleman joins us from Atlanta. ________________________ Bio John Coleman is the author of Good Money: Six Steps to Building a Financial Life with Purpose and The HBR Guide to Crafting Your Purpose.

Money is good only in so much as you use it for things that build flourishing in your lives and the lives of others.” On Identity “Too often we fall into making our identity the things that are easiest to measure rather than things that are most important.” On Purpose “I believe purpose is a thing that's built, not found.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta segunda-feira (08): Israel afirmou ter atacado alvos militares no oeste e no centro do Irã na madrugada desta segunda-feira (08), pelo horário local. A ofensiva ocorreu mesmo após o presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, pedir ao primeiro-ministro israelense, Benjamin Netanyahu, que não realizasse uma retaliação aos bombardeios com mísseis e drones lançados pelo Irã contra o norte de Israel no domingo (7). Os ataques iranianos ocorreram após ações militares israelenses em Beirute, no Líbano. A guerra envolvendo Irã, Israel e Estados Unidos completa 100 dias sem que um acordo tenha sido alcançado para encerrar o conflito. Nos últimos dias, os ataques foram intensificados em diferentes pontos do Oriente Médio, ampliando as tensões e elevando as preocupações sobre uma possível escalada ainda maior da crise. Para falar sobre o assunto, a Jovem Pan entrevista Marcus Vinícius de Freitas, professor de relações internacionais. O papa Leão XIV celebrou uma missa para mais de um milhão de fiéis neste domingo (07), em Madri, durante o segundo dia de sua visita à Espanha. Desde as primeiras horas da manhã, milhares de pessoas ocuparam a Praça de Cibeles, um dos locais mais emblemáticos da capital espanhola, para acompanhar a celebração. Durante a homilia, o pontífice defendeu a renovação da fé católica e afirmou que a religiosidade que há séculos marca a história da Espanha não deve ser vista como um museu do passado, mas como uma escola de fé capaz de inspirar as novas gerações. O vice-presidente Geraldo Alckmin afirmou que os desafios enfrentados pelo setor aéreo em razão do conflito no Oriente Médio precisam ser enfrentados de forma conjunta entre os países. A declaração foi feita durante a abertura da 82ª Assembleia Geral Anual e da Cúpula Mundial de Transporte Aéreo da IATA (Associação Internacional de Transporte Aéreo). Segundo Alckmin, a aviação global enfrenta problemas que nenhum país consegue resolver sozinho, destacando o alto e volátil custo do combustível. A Comissão de Constituição e Justiça (CCJ) da Câmara dos Deputados analisa propostas de emenda à Constituição que buscam reduzir a maioridade penal de 18 para 16 anos em casos de crimes hediondos e outros delitos graves. Entre os textos em discussão está a PEC 32/2015, que prevê a responsabilização a partir dos 16 anos mediante análise individual, com cumprimento de pena em unidades separadas e procedimentos específicos. Também estão em debate as PECs 8/2026 e 9/2026, que propõem a redução da idade penal para 16 anos, seja de forma mais ampla ou restrita a situações excepcionais, como crimes marcados por extrema crueldade. A Proposta de Emenda à Constituição (PEC) que altera a escala de trabalho 6x1 pode enfrentar atrasos e sofrer mudanças durante sua tramitação no Senado. O presidente da Casa, Davi Alcolumbre, afirmou que o Senado não deve atuar como uma "casa carimbadora" e indicou que a proposta precisará passar pelas comissões antes de ser votada, o que pode ampliar o prazo para sua análise. Para discutir os possíveis impactos e o andamento da proposta, a Jovem Pan entrevista o senador Izalci Lucas (PL-DF). O presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, afirmou que o primeiro-ministro de Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, terá de aceitar qualquer acordo que Washington venha a fechar com o Irã. Em entrevista ao Financial Times, Trump declarou que é ele quem conduz as negociações e que Israel não terá alternativa além de aceitar os termos definidos pelos EUA. O presidente também minimizou os efeitos do ataque com mísseis lançado pelo Irã contra Israel, afirmando que a ofensiva não terá impacto nas tratativas em andamento. Para analisar esse cenário, a Jovem Pan entrevista Priscila Caneparo, professora de direito internacional. Essas e outras notícias você acompanha no Jornal da Manhã. Learn more about your ad choices.

For billions of people around the globe, the FIFA World Cup is the ultimate sporting event. But what does the tournament reveal about the world beyond the pitch? This week, we welcome Financial Times journalist and New York Times bestselling author Simon Kuper to discuss his latest book, "World Cup Fever: A Soccer Journey in Nine Tournaments." Drawing on more than three decades of firsthand reporting from World Cups spanning Italy 1990 to Qatar 2022, Kuper reflects on how football's greatest spectacle has evolved — and what that evolution says about politics, culture, globalization, nationalism, media, money, and power. Far more than memorable matches and legendary players, we explore the World Cup as a unique lens through which to view modern history itself. Kuper recounts his experiences covering tournaments staged amid political upheaval, examines FIFA's transformation from a relatively modest governing body into a global commercial powerhouse, and reflects on the growing tensions between football's grassroots appeal and the immense corporate and geopolitical forces that now surround the game. Along the way, we discuss how World Cups have served as stages for dictators and democracies alike, why the tournament remains one of the few truly shared global cultural experiences, and whether the event has become more accessible — or more distant — from the ordinary fans whose passion fuels it. + + + SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY BUY THE BOOK: "World Cup Fever: A Soccer Journey in Nine Tournaments": https://amzn.to/4dV2SKN SPONSOR THANKS: Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/
“Objects in museums have to come from somewhere. The stories of how they came to be in those collections often involve laws being broken, unethical behaviour, and extreme violence.” — Matthew Campbell Imagine a gay Jeffrey Epstein who set up shop in Thailand. Only rather than peddling young girls, he traded in bodybuilders and priceless antiquities. That's the story of the British émigré Douglas Latchford, the subject of Matthew Campbell's new book The Man Who Stole the Gods. It's the true story of a man who was born in the last days of the British Raj, made his fortune in Bangkok, became the world's leading dealer of Khmer antiquities, and was indicted for criminal conspiracy in 2019. Campbell's tale is simultaneously a crime story, a history of Cambodia, and a parable about the relationship between Western wealth and the world's cultural heritage. The Khmer Empire, which dominated Southeast Asia from the ninth to the fifteenth centuries, produced one of the finest civilisations of the medieval world. Angkor in the twelfth century had 750,000 people — making it ten times the size of London. After the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime, every Khmer site in Cambodia was systematically looted. The pieces went to the Metropolitan Museum, to Christie's, to private American collectors. Latchford was the central conduit. The Jeffrey Epstein enabler. Like Epstein, Latchford got away with it for years. Unlike Epstein, he died a free man, even chalking up a 2020 New York Times obituary as a Khmer antiquities expert. Five Takeaways • Douglas Latchford: The British Jeffrey Epstein of Asian Art: Born in the last days of the British Raj, educated in the UK, Latchford made his fortune in Bangkok and became the world's leading dealer of Southeast Asian antiquities — selling pieces for millions of dollars to the Metropolitan Museum, Christie's, and wealthy American collectors. He presented himself as an expert and connoisseur. He gave to universities and lent to exhibitions. He received a glowing obituary in the New York Times in August 2020. The dark side: he was, Campbell shows, the central organiser of a decades-long criminal conspiracy to loot Cambodia's cultural heritage. He was indicted in 2019 but died before he could be extradited. • The Khmer Empire: 750,000 People When London Had 40,000: The Khmer Empire dominated Southeast Asia from the ninth to the fifteenth centuries, ruling directly or indirectly over what is now Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and parts of Malaysia. Its capital, Angkor, had 750,000 people in the twelfth century — when London had 40,000 at the absolute outside. The Khmer built extraordinary temple cities — Angkor Wat is only the most famous — and produced remarkable stone and bronze sculpture. Every single Khmer site in Cambodia was systematically looted. The pieces all went somewhere. A great many came to the West. • The Vietnam War, Nixon, Kissinger, and the Conditions for Genocide: The Vietnam War is central to Campbell's story. The Ho Chi Minh Trail ran partly through Cambodia, making Cambodia of great interest to Nixon and Kissinger. Beginning in 1968, large-scale American bombing of Cambodia — ostensibly aimed at destroying a supposed communist headquarters that, Campbell notes, never actually existed — helped destabilise the country and created the conditions in which the Khmer Rouge could emerge. The Khmer Rouge ideology: Pol Pot believed civilisation needed not to be reformed but erased. A blank slate. Rebuild from zero. • The Museum World's Complicity: The Sackler Parallel: The Metropolitan Museum of Art features prominently in Campbell's account. Objects in museums have to come from somewhere — the works in the Met did not originate in New York. How they came to be in those collections often involved laws being broken, unethical behaviour, and extreme violence. Campbell draws a parallel with Patrick Radden Keefe's account of the Sacklers: the more investigative journalists look at the wealthy donors and private collectors associated with major cultural institutions, the more troubling the stories that emerge. The museum world has a serious provenance problem. • The Happy Ending: Repatriation and the National Museum in Phnom Penh: Latchford was indicted in 2019 for criminal conspiracy. He died in 2020, in a monastery in Northern Thailand, before he could be extradited. He never went to trial. But the recovery effort — a remarkable collaboration between Cambodia and the US Department of Justice — tracked down hundreds of stolen objects through meticulous detective work. The pieces have been returned to Cambodia. The National Museum in Phnom Penh now has so many repatriated objects that it is running out of room and may need to build a new wing. As Campbell says: that's a good problem to have. About the Guest Matthew Campbell is an award-winning investigative journalist at Bloomberg Businessweek.

Blending eye-opening discoveries with unforgettable stories, Superteams takes you inside the writers’ room of Succession and Bridgerton, the recording studio of ABBA and Fleetwood Mac, the kitchens of Michelin-starred restaurants, the laboratories of Nobel Prize–winning scientists, the locker rooms of NBA and NFL teams, and the boardrooms of the world’s most innovative companies. You will learn: -A simple rule that instantly cuts meeting time in half -How the best teams make focus easier, not harder -The one question that makes team decisions up to 30% smarter -The only office perk that improves performance (spoiler: it’s not coffee) -How personal productivity hacks make teamwork harder -Why feeling like the smartest person in the room is a red flag -Why top performers care more about disappointing their peers than their boss -How the best teams avoid burnout without working fewer hours -The science of truly restorative breaks, evenings, and vacations -How to build a team that keeps getting better (even when you’re not in charge) Smart, insightful, and relentlessly practical, this is your science-backed guide to turning your team into a Superteam.

The Intuitive Customer - Improve Your Customer Experience To Gain Growth
Nostalgia isn't just "remembering the good old days." It's a bittersweet emotion—the strange mix of warmth, loss, pride, and longing that can make you feel good… even when the memory you're describing sounds objectively terrible. In this episode, Colin and Ryan dig into why nostalgia is so powerful (and why it's everywhere right now). They explore the paradox: people don't just get nostalgic about the happy stuff—they also get nostalgic about the hard stuff, because it becomes part of identity ("I survived," "it made me," "we were close," "look how far we've come"). And for Customer Experience? Nostalgia isn't retro wallpaper. It's an emotional lever tied to belonging, meaning, and identity—exactly the things that shape customer decisions. What you'll hear in this episode Why nostalgia is pleasant and painful at the same time Why people compete over who had it worse How nostalgia acts like an emotional "anchor" during uncertainty How brands "clone" nostalgia in advertising—and why it works when it's authentic Quote of the episode "Nostalgia isn't about reliving the pain—it's about reliving the meaning." — Colin Shaw Resources Mentioned Colin Shaw - https://www.linkedin.com/in/colinrjshaw/ Professor Ryan Hamilton - http://linkedin.com/in/ryan-hamilton-49b3321 About the Hosts: Colin Shaw is a LinkedIn 'Top Voice' with a massive 286,000 followers and 87,000 subscribers to his 'Why Customers Buy' newsletter.

On this episode, Mark talks with Brendan Greeley, a journalist and former U.S. economics editor at the Financial Times, about his new book “The Almighty Dollar, 500 Years of the World's Most Powerful Money.” In it, Greeley makes the case that the American dollar is not (and never has been) quite as…American…as one might assume; from its very beginning, it's had deep global ties, and no single government has ever been in full control of it. Mark and Brendan discuss what this more nuanced understanding of the dollar reveals about how the U.S. economy operates, and how it might help us think about the future of the “almighty dollar.”Learn more about and purchase “The Almighty Dollar: 500 Years of the World's Most Powerful Money”Transcript coming soon to our website

La Commission européenne prépare une nouvelle réglementation sur l'équité numérique. Dans son viseur, les monnaies virtuelles utilisées dans les jeux mobiles comme Candy Crush, Clash of Clans ou Subway Surfers. Une initiative qui inquiète les grands acteurs européens du secteur, qui redoutent des conséquences sur leur compétitivité. Lorsque vous téléchargez Candy Crush ou Clash of Clans, vous ne payez généralement rien. Le jeu est gratuit. C'est ce que l'on appelle le modèle « free to play », littéralement « gratuit pour jouer ». Contrairement aux jeux vidéo sur console ou sur ordinateur, qui sont souvent vendus plusieurs dizaines d'euros à l'achat, les éditeurs de jeux mobiles attirent des centaines de millions de joueurs sans leur demander de payer au départ. Alors comment gagnent-ils de l'argent ? En partie grâce à la publicité, mais surtout grâce à une petite partie des joueurs qui réalisent des achats directement dans le jeu. Ces achats prennent souvent la forme de gemmes, de pièces virtuelles, de bonus ou encore de personnages spéciaux. Le joueur dépense de l'argent réel pour acquérir ces monnaies virtuelles, qu'il utilise ensuite pour progresser plus rapidement ou débloquer certains contenus. À lire aussiCandy Crush: l'histoire, le succès et le modèle économique du jeu mobile aux 3 milliards de téléchargements Pourquoi la Commission européenne s'intéresse-t-elle aux monnaies virtuelles ? C'est précisément là que se situe le problème aux yeux de Bruxelles. Dans de nombreux jeux mobiles, le joueur ne dépense pas directement des euros ou des dollars. Il dépense une monnaie virtuelle achetée au préalable. La question que se pose la Commission européenne est simple : le joueur comprend-il toujours ce qu'il dépense réellement ? Si un objet coûte 5 euros, le prix est immédiatement compréhensible. Mais s'il coûte 700 gemmes obtenues dans un pack de 1 200 gemmes acheté 5 euros, la perception de la dépense devient beaucoup moins intuitive. Et lorsque plusieurs monnaies virtuelles coexistent dans un même jeu, la situation peut devenir encore plus complexe. Avec son projet de « Digital Fairness Act », ou loi sur l'équité numérique, la Commission européenne souhaite examiner ces pratiques et renforcer la transparence des prix. L'objectif affiché est de mieux protéger les consommateurs, notamment les plus jeunes, particulièrement présents sur ce type de jeux. Les éditeurs craignent une menace pour leur compétitivité Cette perspective inquiète fortement l'industrie du jeu vidéo mobile. Dans les colonnes du Financial Times, les dirigeants de plusieurs grands studios européens ont exprimé leurs préoccupations. Selon eux, certaines mesures pourraient conduire à l'apparition de messages ou de rappels destinés à contextualiser les dépenses réalisées par les joueurs, au risque de dégrader l'expérience utilisateur. Mais leurs inquiétudes dépassent la seule question du confort de jeu. Les responsables de l'industrie rappellent que le jeu mobile constitue l'un des rares secteurs du numérique dans lesquels l'Europe peut encore revendiquer une position de leader mondial. Selon les industriels, le secteur représente près de 8 milliards d'euros de revenus en Europe. Ils redoutent donc qu'une réglementation trop contraignante ne pénalise les acteurs européens face à leurs concurrents américains et chinois. Au-delà des jeux vidéo, le débat soulève une question économique plus large. Les responsables politiques européens souhaitent voir émerger des champions technologiques capables de rivaliser avec les géants mondiaux du numérique. Mais dans le même temps, l'Union européenne entend encadrer davantage certains modèles économiques lorsqu'ils soulèvent des questions de protection des consommateurs. Toute la difficulté consiste donc à trouver le bon équilibre : réguler pour davantage de transparence sans affaiblir les entreprises que l'Europe cherche justement à faire grandir.

Send us Fan MailNo one is talking about the insane thing that's happened to Big Law partner compensation over the past decade — and how it stacks up against Wall Street.In this deep dive we broke down EXACTLY what's going on. What started as an attempt to quantify how much Belle Burden's husband — from the cultural phenomenon Strangers — was actually earning during their marriage, after he left Davis Polk and landed at an equity long/short hedge fund, turned into a full-blown investigation: how Big Law and hedge funds really make money, what the compensation structures look like, and who actually comes out ahead.We were positive we knew the answer. We were wrong.Here's what we're not going to spoil — but here's what's on the table:One firm reportedly offered $80 million over three years to poach a single partner. That's not a typo. That's hedge fund money… for a lawyer.The top firms are clearing eight figures per partner — and we name them.The Financial Times has reported some hedge fund traders are being offered 9 figures comp packages but how does it vary roles by role, firm by firm and year by year, We get into the lockstep model, the eat-what-you-kill brutality of the buy side, "two and twenty," and the math of who's really ahead at 25, at 35, at 45 — plus the quiet shift that flipped the entire game while almost nobody outside the industry was watching.

You've probably heard the phrase, "There are no winners in a trade war." But that doesn't mean we don't all have to fight one these days. That's according to Financial Times columnist Soumaya Keynes and former White House economic advisor Chad P. Bown. They join Piya Chattopadhyay to talk about their new guidebook to the new normal of economic battle, How to Win a Trade War, and offer advice to Canada on taking on the world – and Washington – especially as the CUSMA joint review approaches.

Day 1,558.Today, as more civilians across Ukraine are murdered by Russia in the latest mass aerial attack we look to the US for a response, given Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio last week that Russia planned only to strike Ukrainian "decision-making centers". We ask, again, when the United Nations is going to take a meaningful interest in the war, and look at the continuing diplomatic spat between Ukraine and Poland.

What are the biggest problems facing the economy - and how might we set about dealing with them - from inequality to inflation, domestic growth to geopolitics? On Radio 4's weekly discussion programme, setting the cultural agenda every Monday, Tom Sutcliffe leads a conversation exploring what the solutions might look like.Jeremy Hunt's new book Can We Be Rich Again?: The Surprising Potential of Britain's Economy makes the case for optimism. The former Chancellor of the Exchequer outlines current problems – low growth, high public debt and taxes, stagnant living standards and divided politics, but he argues Britain still has a lot going for it - the tech sector, financial services and respected institutions. He says if the British economy is to grow again, politicians need to get better at delivering their plans.Mariana Mazzucato believes we need to rethink the way we manage economics with government and business working together to promote human flourishing. For her, the problems are deepening inequality, the climate crisis and declining public trust. She is Professor in the Economics of Innovation and Public Value at University College, London where she is the Founding Director of the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose. Her new book The Common Good Economy: A New Compass sets out how the economy could be designed to serve people and the planet better.And, how has the way that we think and talk about the global economy and national problems changed in recent years?

Day 1,553.Today, in the aftermath of one of the most intense aerial assaults on Ukraine of the entire war, we report on fresh strikes against Russia's Tuapse oil refinery – the site of the extraordinary “manmade volcano” that has become symbolic of Kyiv's campaign against Moscow's energy infrastructure. Antonia Langford joins us live from Kyiv after witnessing ballistic missile attacks on the capital firsthand. We also examine the shrinking number of countries contributing to the Czech-led ammunition initiative, which now supplies around half of Ukraine's artillery ammunition, and assess Britain's attempt to regain control of the political narrative after last week's easing of sanctions on Russia by unveiling new measures targeting cryptocurrency networks accused of financing Putin's war machine.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Antonia Langford (Freelance Journalist in Kyiv). @Antonialford on X.NOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.
