But how did this understanding evolve, and what progress remains to be achieved?This week on the Frankly Speaking podcast, Richard Howitt was joined by Michael H. Posner, Director of the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, the first ever human rights centre at a business school.Together they discussed Michael's latest book ‘Conscience Incorporated: Pursue Profits While Protecting Human Rights' which weaves together his decades of legal experience working with companies from Nike, Adidas, Microsoft and many others to put the case for a genuine change in business attitude and practice on corporate human rights.

In this Frankly Speaking episode, host Andra Powell is joined by Dr. Amy Lin and Simon Hall to explore what sustainability truly means in poultry production — with a focus on economics, not just the environment.

As Gaza plunges deeper into catastrophe, Israel's blockade has stopped aid for over a month, 60,000 children face malnutrition, hospitals lie in ruins, and the United Nations has called it a “killing field.” On this episode, we're joined by Palestinian Authority State Minister for Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Dr. Varsen Aghabekian. We ask why the peace talks collapsed. Will Israel be held accountable for strikes on hospitals and the deaths of aid workers? And is the Palestinian Authority truly prepared to govern both Gaza and the West Bank after such devastation?
