Podcasts about global coalition

The world is standing on the brink…the deepening  impacts of the climate crisis, rising inequality and increasing levels of economic turmoil are affecting us all. But we now face a new threat: a powerful network of autocrats,  billionaires. and demagogues and fossil fuel industry leaders has emerged. This climate crisis denying coalition is weaponising disinformation and  manipulating societal distress and uncertainty in a bid to steer us into the arms of far-right populism and away from the global systems change we need. Mayors, cities, academics, scientists, economists, activists and civil society must step up and form a global axis of resistance to challenge those who threaten our way of life…and ultimately, the very survival of our world.Season 5 of Cities 1.5 returns March 11th, with a new episode every Tuesday after that.

In an effort to address high prescription drug costs, states across the country have established or are considering prescription drug affordability boards (PDABs) to review drug prices and propose setting upper payment limits (UPLs) for certain drugs that are deemed too expensive. PDABs and the price setting policies that accompany them jeopardize patient access to medicines for vulnerable and traditionally underserved populations. Tune in to the NMQF webinar to learn more about how PDABs impact patient access, care delivery, research, and health equity – and how you can get engaged in discussions about these policies.

The Government of Canada has joined the Global Coalition on Telecommunications. Marc Aflalo from Access Tech Live breaks down the details. From the October 12, 2023, episode.

Non-state armed groups are responsible for a significant proportion of attacks that kill and injure students and teachers and damage schools and universities. These attacks also keep students from learning, stunting community and economic development. In this post, Jerome Marston, senior researcher at the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA), marks the International Day to Protect Education from Attack and suggests steps the humanitarian community can take to safeguard education.

In commemoration of the International Day to Protect Education from Attack, host Carolyn Moorman sits down with Save the Children's Miriam Toure, the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack's Jerome Marston, and New Lines' Alexander Kochenburger. Their conversation examines emerging and persisting threats to education, including from non-state armed groups, and highlights best practices to safeguard education and children from these attacks.

On this day, June 26th, in legal history, the Statute of the International Court of Justice was signed, establishing the International Court of Justice at The Hague. The history of the Statute of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) can be traced back to its predecessor, the Permanent Court of International Justice (PCIJ), which was established under the League of Nations in accordance with Article 14 of the Covenant of the League of Nations. The Council of the League of Nations was responsible for developing the idea of the PCIJ and formed an Advisory Committee of Jurists in 1920 to prepare a report on its establishment. A draft scheme was subsequently presented to the League's Assembly and was unanimously adopted as the Statute of the PCIJ in 1920.While the PCIJ operated independently from the League of Nations, it played a crucial role in resolving contentious cases and providing advisory opinions from 1922 to 1940. In 1946, the ICJ was established with its own Statute, building upon the foundations of the PCIJ's Statute. This process involved redrafting the statute with adjustments based on historical experience. The United Nations Committee of Jurists and the Fourth Committee of the United Nations Conference on International Organization (UNCIO) in San Francisco in 1945 were responsible for finalizing the ICJ Statute.One significant innovation introduced by the ICJ Statute was its close relationship with the United Nations Charter, which provided a structural interrelationship between the ICJ and the broader framework of the United Nations. Significantly, the ICJ defines its role in the judicial settlement of international disputes, as the judicial organ of the legal order of the international community as a whole, and not only of the contending parties appearing before it.Here is kind of a mini-column Tuesday, on a Monday. I wrote in the Week in Insights for Bloomberg on a recent study that had some interesting implications for where the IRS should be directing its influx of capital under the Inflation Reduction Act.Recent research from Harvard University reveals that auditing high-income individuals yields a higher return, with a $1 investment in audits of the top 10% income bracket resulting in a $12 return, compared to $5 for those below the median income. These findings hopefully have policy implications for the IRS and will impact tax practitioners and taxpayers.Week in Insights: Harvard Study Shows Auditing the Rich Pays OffThe US Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Coinbase Global Inc., affirming the company's ability to direct customer and employee disputes into arbitration. The decision, with a 5-4 vote, states that lawsuits filed in federal court must be paused while the defendant pursues an appeal to send the case to arbitration. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, writing for the court, argued that allowing district courts to proceed with pre-trial and trial proceedings during an ongoing appeal would undermine the advantages of arbitration. Business groups supported Coinbase, claiming that permitting litigation to continue would impose unnecessary costs, while consumer advocates argued that judges should have discretion in deciding which claims can proceed during an appeal. The case involved claims against Coinbase by Abraham Bielski regarding losses due to a scammer and allegations of inadequate disclosure in a Dogecoin sweepstakes. The ruling reinforces the power of companies to enforce arbitration clauses and the benefits associated with arbitration agreements in various industries, including the cryptocurrency sector.Coinbase Wins at Supreme Court as Ruling Backs Arbitration (1)U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith has requested a delay in the start of former President Donald Trump's trial on charges of willful retention of classified government records and obstruction of justice. Smith asked the federal judge to push the trial start date from August 14 to December 11, citing the need for reasonable time for effective preparation. Trump, who is seeking the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election, pleaded not guilty to the charges in a federal court in Miami. The trial will adhere to the Classified Information Procedures Act, which governs the handling and disclosure of classified evidence. Smith stated that the delay is necessary to allow Trump's lawyers to obtain security clearances and review classified documents. While Trump's lawyers do not oppose scrapping the August 14 start date, they are expected to file a motion opposing the proposed schedule.US special counsel seeks delay to start of Trump documents trial until December | ReutersU.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has denied allegations made by an Internal Revenue Service whistleblower that the investigation into Hunter Biden's tax affairs was impeded by the Justice Department. Garland stated that U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who was appointed by former President Trump, had complete authority to make charging decisions on his own regarding Hunter Biden's case. Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, was charged with two misdemeanor counts of willfully failing to pay income taxes. The charges were revealed in a court filing by Weiss's office, and Hunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to the charges. Republicans have criticized the plea deal, claiming it is a lenient arrangement. A transcript of an interview with an IRS agent involved in the probe, Gary Shapley, was released, alleging that the Justice Department delayed the case. Shapley claimed that Weiss sought permission to bring charges from anywhere in the country but was denied by Garland. Garland denied the claim, stating that Weiss never made such a request, and emphasized that Weiss had more authority than a special counsel. Hunter Biden's attorney also defended the thoroughness of the investigation.U.S. attorney general denies allegations that Hunter Biden tax probe was stymied | ReutersThe U.S. Justice Department has filed criminal charges against four Chinese chemical manufacturing companies and eight individuals for allegedly trafficking the chemicals used to produce fentanyl, a highly addictive painkiller that has contributed to the opioid crisis in the United States. This marks the first time the U.S. has sought to prosecute Chinese companies involved in manufacturing precursor chemicals for fentanyl. China's foreign ministry responded by urging the U.S. to stop using fentanyl-related pretexts to sanction and prosecute Chinese entities, demanding the release of those "illegally arrested." The move comes after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to China, where he emphasized the need for Chinese cooperation to address the fentanyl trade. The indicted companies are accused of supplying precursor chemicals to Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel, which has flooded the U.S. with fentanyl. The cases aim to disrupt the fentanyl supply chain and highlight the unique threat posed by the synthetic drug. In addition, Blinken announced plans to convene a virtual ministerial meeting to establish a Global Coalition to Address Synthetic Drug Threats.US files first-ever charges against Chinese fentanyl manufacturers | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

This week GRUFFtalk welcomes Cyndi Hutchins, Director of Financial Gerontology at Bank of America, who talks through the unique financial challenges that you might confront as you think about and plan for your next stage of life.   Not long ago, host Barbara Hannah Grufferman asked people on social media to name their #1 fear; that thing that keeps them up at night. Based on the many responses she got, it was clear that people who responded, mostly women who are out there working, in relationships, taking care of their families – and now, very often, aging parents – and contributing to their communities in meaningful ways . . . have one huge thing on their minds . . .   the fear of not having enough money as they got older.  With so many unknowns right now in the world, which are affecting the financial market, with the workplace landscape drastically changed as a result of the pandemic, and with ageism still very much entrenched in the work culture and society overall, this fear is still very real.  But guest Cyndi Hutchins answers a lot of our questions, including:  How do you know when it's the right time to retire?  How can I mitigate my financial risks now so I have more money in the future?  How can I plan for long-term care, both for a loved one as well as my own?  What are some of the biggest myths around financial planning for retirement?    . . . and so much more.  Here's a little bit about Cyndi:  Cyndi Hutchins is the Director of Financial Gerontology for Bank of America. She's had more than 35 years of experience in the wealth management and retirement industry, working closely with financial advisors to provide training, education, resources and thought leadership to engage clients on the topics of aging, longevity, retirement and planning for the rest of your life.   Learn more about longevity literacy and financial planning:  A Report from the Global Coalition on Aging: https://globalcoalitiononaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/GCOA_BAC_Playbook_11.6.19.pdf  The Business of Longevity: https://longevity.technology/news/bank-of-america-analysts-predict-longevity-to-be-the-opportunity-of-the-decade/  Connect with Cyndi Hutchins:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cyndi-hutchins-26901327/  Connect with Barbara Hannah Grufferman:  Website: https://www.barbarahannahgrufferman.com  Instagram: @Barbara Hannah Grufferman  Facebook: @BarbaraHannahGruffermanAuthor  Learn more about your ad choices.

Phumeza Tisile is a TB survivor, researcher and advocate for TB patients at https://tbproof.org/ (TB Proof). In this episode Phumeza shares her moving and powerful lived experience of being an Extremely Drug Resistant (XDR) TB survivor. She starts her story describing the challenges of first understanding her symptoms and gaining an accurate diagnosis of TB, how this led to complex treatment of taking 30 tablets a day and an injection, followed by 2 years of hospitalisation and loss of hearing for 5 years. Her research is now focused on the immediate and long-term impacts of being a TB patient and survivor including managing stigmatisation, disability and mental health conditions. Phumeza calls for researchers to be aware of the language they use to describe people with lived experience and challenges scientists and decision makers for more affordable treatment strategies that meet patients where they are- geographically, financially and personally.  The Global Coalition of TB Advocates(GCTA) is a global platform of people affected by TB that amplifies community engagement and strengthens the capacity of TB activists at all levels .http://gctacommunity.org/?v=7d31e0da1ab9 (http://gctacommunity.org/?v=7d31e0da1ab9) TB Proof Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TBproof/ (https://www.facebook.com/TBproof/)

The Kingdom of Bahrain's Ambassador to the United States, Shaikh Abdulla bin Rashid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa joins America's Roundtable Radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy for a conversation on American-Bahraini relations dating back to the late 19th century. Bahrain is a home to the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet and U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, and is a strategic partner in U.S.-led military coalitions, including the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS. The U.S-Bahrain Free Trade Agreement (FTA) entered into force in 2006, generating additional commercial opportunities for both countries. Ambassador Al Khalifa is dedicated to strengthening the longstanding friendship between the Kingdom of Bahrain and the United States to drive the two countries' shared vision for security, prosperity and friendship. He is a steadfast advocate for Bahrainis in the US and an emissary of peace to the American people. According to Talmudic references, Jews resided in Bahrain since ancient times and Arabic records highlight the co-existence of Arabs and Jews dating back some 1,400 years ago. During the 12 century, Benjamin of Tudela, a medieval Jewish traveler, wrote about Africa, Asia, and Europe, and recounted that Jews were engaged in the local pearl industry. Bahrain has a population of 1.7 million people, with access to a much larger market within the Gulf Cooperation Council, comprising of estimated over 65 million people, as well as to the Arab League, which totals 407 million people of its member countries, mostly living in the Middle East and Northern Africa. On Bahrain's economic sphere, a US government report states: "The banking and finance sector is the largest non-oil contributor to Bahrain's economy. Bahrain is home to 376 financial institutions and the second largest Islamic finance hub after Malaysia, with over $31.4 billion in assets under management. Aluminum manufacturing accounts for the bulk of Bahrain's manufacturing sector, and contributes 12 percent of GDP. Aluminum Bahrain (ALBA), the state-owned aluminum smelter, recently became the largest single-site aluminum smelter outside of China with the November 2019 inauguration of its expansion."

Overview  Given that the essence of moral thought is to address and ameliorate human suffering, and to expand human freedoms, how can we afford not to attend to moral clarity when it comes to international relief and development?  The Center for Values in International Development seeks to apply the insights, analytical frameworks, knowledge, and experience that already exist within the field of international development ethics, to guide relief and development practice.  We continue the dialogue with our third of five conversations with today's focus on Empowerment as part of The Center's ethical development series building an effective bridge between the practitioners' community and the ethicists' community, to the mutual benefit of both, and to the significant improvement in the effectiveness of international relief and development.  To learn more about The Center for Values in International Development, visit: https://www.centerforvalues.international Panelist Biographies  Saji Prelis is Co-Chair of the Global Coalition on Youth, Peace and Security and Director of Children & Youth Programs for Search for Common Ground.

The actor Jussie Smollett was convicted on Thursday night of lying to police about a hate crime that he says happened on the streets of Chicago in 2019. His story – always far-fetched - was nonetheless repeated and supported by some politicians and the press. Now that he's been convicted, will there be any rethinking about how to respond to racially charged crimes? Also this week, President Joe Biden convened a summit for the world's democracies, although some question how the guest list was assembled and whether the US should try to promote democratic ideals at all. And new polls reveal that Hispanics are moving toward the political center, which may mean headaches ahead for the Democratic Party. Tom Bevan, co-founder and president of RealClearPolitics, Carl Cannon, Washington Bureau Chief, and Phil Wegmann, White House Correspondent join Andrew Walworth on today's RealClearPolitics Takeaway podcast.

In March, the United States brought in a temporary, near-universal child benefit as part of the American Rescue Plan, enacted as a response to COVID-19. Many in government are pushing to make it permanent, and that would make it a significant change in US social policy. But, of course, child-focused social protection benefits are relatively common in other countries, including lower and middle income countries. And even if the contexts are different, the debates may be familiar. In this episode, we explore the debates around universality and investment in early childhood in the US. We compare them with those in upper-middle income Argentina, which has had near-universal child allowances since 2009. And, we'll talk about how these developments fit with global trends. Our guests this week are: Sophie Collyer, Research Director at the Center on Poverty and Social Policy at Columbia University in New York. Oscar Cetrangolo, Director at the Faculty of Economics at the University of Buenos Aires David Stewart, Chief of Child Poverty and Social Protection at UNICEF headquarters in New York.

Hello and welcome again to the Migration & Diaspora Podcast, a show where we discuss everything migration. Today I'm speaking with a true powerhouse in the field of migrant rights in Asia, William Gois. William is the current regional coordinator of Migrant Forum in Asia (MFA), a regional network of grassroots organisations, trade unions, faith-based groups, migrants and their families and individual advocates in Asia working together for social justice for migrant workers and their families. represented in 26 countries across Asia and the Middle East. He is the former chairperson of the Global Coalition for Migration (GCM) and over the last twenty years, he has been at the forefront of international advocacy efforts engaging and influencing international and multilateral processes to promote rights-based migration and development policies, including co-chairing the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) Civil Society Days (CSD) in 2011. In addition, William is a member of the steering committee of the Asia Democracy Network (ADN), the regional executive committee of the Asia Pacific Movement on Debt and Development (APMDD), and the World Bank-led Global Knowledge Partnership on Migration and Development (KNOMAD). At the regional level, William represents MFA in the Abu Dhabi Dialogue and the Colombo Process. We're so lucky to have William here with us today to shed light on the issue of wage theft in Asia that many migrant workers have been exposed to. He gives us the lowdown on the scale and nature of the problem, where it's happening, and what its impacts are on the migrant workers and their families and communities of origin, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. And he walks us through the Justice For Wage Theft campaign he's been leading and the actions that he is calling on countries of origin and destination to take to both address the immediate needs of those afflicted by wage theft, as well as to build back better protections for migrant workers as we emerge from the pandemic. William is such a powerful advocate for migrant rights and it's an absolute pleasure to have him on the show, so without further ado, here's our conversation.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast, with me your host, Loksan Harley. Today I've got Colin Rajah on the show to talk about, in his words, the "messy but beautiful" business of advocating for civil society in global migration governance. Colin is the Coordinator of the Civil Society Action Committee (AC), the largest global platform of civil society organizations and networks engaging in global migration governance and policy advocacy, housed by the International Catholic Migration Commission (ICMC). He also serves as the Co-Coordinator of the Global Forum on Migration and Development's Civil Society Coordinating Office, which coordinates the civil society mechanism for the GFMD summit. Colin was previously the International Organization for Migration's (IOM's) Civil Society Liaison (2017-2018) for the Global Compact for Migration negotiation process (GCM). Prior to that, he was a co-founder and International Coordinator of the Global Coalition on Migration (2011-2016), and held senior positions at the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (NNIRR) (2003-2011) and Migrants Rights International (MRI) (2006-2016). He also co-founded the People's Global Action on Migration, Development and Human Rights (PGA) (2006-2016) and co-chaired the Civil Society Forum during the 2013 United Nations High-Level Dialogue on Migration and Development (UNHLD). And if that wasn't enough, he co-founded the largest Malaysian global diaspora network and has been involved in a number of grassroots social justice groups. As you've just heard, Colin has long been at the forefront of civil society engagement in global migration governance. In fact, with the thirteenth Global Forum on Migration and Development currently ongoing at this episode's release in January 2021, Colin has been present at every single one of the previous 12 GFMDs. He was therefore the ideal person to tell us about the work of the Civil Society Action Committee and civil society engagement in global migration governance more broadly. We talk about the shared migration interests of global civil society and how the Action Committee manages to channel the views of such a diverse set of organisations into coherent advocacy work, including at the GFMDs. We learn what "global advocacy" actually means in practice and how Colin's work at the GFMDs and in processes like the Global Compact for Migration then filters down to concrete action that benefits migrants. And I ask Colin for his big lessons learned from his extensive experience as a civil society advocate. So here's our interview and, as always, thank you and I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Following USIP's event “Iraq and Syria: Views from the U.S. Administration, Military Leaders and the Region,” Mike Yaffe provides key takeaways from the panel featuring CENTCOM Commander General Votel, USAID Administrator Green, and Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS McGurk. "Iraq and Syria are complex and starkly different from one another," says Yaffe, "but the key goals are the same: concentrate on defeating ISIS and work by, with, and through local people to stabilize each country."

The role of the United States is seen as indispensable throughout the Middle East, and many are looking to understand new directions in U.S. policy in the region in the wake of the counter-ISIS military campaign. U.S. administration and military leaders will discuss the stakes, challenges and requirements of bringing stability to a region in which violence persists and gains against terrorists hang by a thread. Panelists: Stephen J. Hadley, ModeratorChair, Board of Directors, U.S. Institute of Peace General Joseph L. VotelCENTCOM Commander Ambassador Mark GreenAdministrator, U.S. Agency for International Development Brett McGurkSpecial Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, U.S. Department of State
