Israel's cabinet voted to extend legal status to 19 previously illegal settlements late last night, formalizing more control of land in the West Bank. Attacks by Jewish settlers against Palestinian communities there have increased sharply since the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks in Israel. As Leila Molana-Allen tells us, the settlers' violence continues with few apparent consequences. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 222: When a city planner mentioned that a large, developable tract of land might contain Native American artifacts, cohost Scott Rada started wondering how communities decide which parts of the past are worth protecting — and what the costs of preservation might be for the present. This week’s episode examines the tension between honoring cultural heritage and addressing pressing human needs, such as housing. Rada and co-host Richard Kyte unpack the ethical dilemmas that surface when new development projects run up against the remnants of older civilizations. Rada argues that while respect for the past matters, society’s first responsibility should be to the living — to families who need homes, jobs and public spaces now. He questions whether stopping or slowing modern projects for the sake of long-buried artifacts truly serves anyone. Kyte counters that the choice isn’t always binary. He suggests that reverence for the dead and care for the living can coexist, and that certain places — burial grounds, ceremonial sites or historically significant landscapes — deserve deliberate protection, even if doing so requires compromise or delay. Their exchange touches on Wisconsin’s effigy and burial mounds, the ethics of archaeology and how public policy shapes what gets preserved. Kyte points out that housing shortages typically stem from decades of zoning failures, rather than from the small number of sites deemed sacred or historically valuable. Rada pushes back, asking whether reverence for what once was can sometimes become an excuse for inaction. The conversation widens to include broader cultural questions: Why do humans feel compelled to memorialize the dead? What promises do cemeteries represent to future generations? And how long should those promises last — centuries, millennia, forever? Kyte argues that physical reminders of our ancestors keep societies grounded in gratitude and perspective. Rada wonders whether our fixation on physical places distracts us from the spiritual or emotional connections that endure regardless of location. About the hosts Scott Rada is a digital strategist with Lee Enterprises, and Richard Kyte is the director of the D.B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership at Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin. He is also the author of "Finding Your Third Place: Building Happier Communities (and Making Great Friends Along the Way)."

When the longest government shutdown in history ended, food assistance for 42 million Americans was restored. But the temporary and unnecessary suspension of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program may have long-lasting impacts — and there are new restrictions to those benefits. We look at SNAP, how it started, why it's needed, who it serves and more.

A registered GP has concerns about the issue of puberty blockers being handled by politicians. No child or young person experiencing gender dysphoria or incongruence will be able to start taking gonadotropin-releasing hormones from December 19. Health Minister Simeon Brown says Cabinet has agreed to new settings until the outcomes of a major clinical trial in the UK – expected in 2031. Dr John Cameron told Mike Hosking he commends the move but is unsure about the motivations. He believes it has been made on health grounds, but still thinks it needs to leave the political arena. Cameron says the safety of puberty blockers has been a topic of discussion in medical circles for a long time. He told Hosking, if they weren't safe, they would be banned across the board. But he says there is uncertainty on their long-term safety and effectiveness. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Donald Trump has ordered Israel to immediately stop bombing Gaza after Hamas agreed to release hostages and accept some other terms in a U.S. plan to end the war, but vexing issues like disarmament appeared unresolved. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Israel was preparing for an "immediate implementation" of the first stage of Trump's Gaza plan for the release of Israeli hostages following Hamas' response. Hamas did not make clear whether it would agree to Trump's proposal that it be barred from exercising political power in Gaza. But the group said it should be "included and will contribute" to any Palestinian national discussion on Gaza's future. World leaders have largely welcomed Hamas's statement but some still hold major reservations about Trump's Gaza plan.....For a look at what the prospects for lasting peace in Gaza are, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to DIRCO Spokesperson, Chrispin Phiri; Senior Research Fellow and Director at Africa Asia Dialogues, Thembisa Fakude and South African-American Political Commentator, Joel Pollack

Remarkably, they stuck with the adjustment for the duration of the study.The most exciting findings: At the study's conclusion, the MRI scans of those who modified their gaits revealed less cartilage damage than controls.  Their pain relief mirrored that achievable with over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen and was nearly as good as even stronger agents.https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanrhe/article/PIIS2665-9913(25)00151-1/abstract#osteoarthritis #knee #gait #pain #cartilage #jointreplacement

In this episode, Duane and Allie sit down with longtime marketing partner Gus Lopez from Lead Hunter Media to dive into why consistent marketing—especially through social media—is essential during the summer months. Discover the psychology of momentum, the real cost of going quiet, and why visibility now pays dividends in the fall. Whether you've got 10 students or 300, this episode is your roadmap to thriving through the summer. https://youtu.be/osfmpM6Neok Key Takeaways Momentum matters: Halting marketing kills momentum—consistency builds compounding results. Summer is a visibility opportunity: While others pause, your brand can rise above the noise.

This Day in Legal History: Salmon P. Chase DiesOn May 7, 1873, Salmon P. Chase—former Chief Justice of the United States and one of the most prominent legal minds of his generation—died at the age of 65. Chase was a towering figure in antebellum legal and political life, best known for his ardent antislavery positions and constitutional rigor. A fierce abolitionist, he earned the nickname “Attorney General for Runaway Slaves” for his pro bono work defending fugitives in Ohio. Decades before the Civil War, Chase and Abraham Lincoln had crossed paths not as allies, but as legal adversaries. In an 1855 Illinois case—Effie Afton v. Rock Island Bridge Company—Chase represented steamboat interests, while Lincoln defended the nascent railroad industry; the trial featured two future titans on opposite sides of a commercial dispute that mirrored the country's growing sectional divisions.Despite their early courtroom rivalry and later competing candidacies for the 1860 Republican presidential nomination, Lincoln recognized Chase's legal acumen and political influence. He appointed him Secretary of the Treasury, where Chase proved instrumental in financing the Union war effort and creating a national banking system. Ever ambitious, Chase maneuvered politically from within Lincoln's cabinet, seeking the presidency even as he served. In 1864, Lincoln elevated Chase to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, where he presided over pivotal Reconstruction-era cases and the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson.As Chief Justice, Chase dissented in Bradwell v. Illinois and the Slaughter-House Cases, signaling a broader vision for the Fourteenth Amendment than the Court ultimately embraced. His dissents advocated for civil rights and economic fairness at a time when the Court was beginning to retreat from radical Reconstruction. Chase died on May 7, 1873, after collapsing in New York, ending a career that spanned law, finance, politics, and constitutional interpretation.A federal judge struck down an executive order by President Donald Trump targeting the law firm Perkins Coie, ruling it violated the First Amendment and due process protections. U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell found the order to be retaliatory, noting it was motivated by the firm's past legal work and its association with political opponents, including Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign. The ruling relied heavily on Trump's own public comments—more than 20 of which were cited in the lawsuit—including social media posts and statements made during official events. These remarks, spanning from 2017 through his current term, were used to show the administration's intent to punish the firm for its perceived political stance.Trump's directive revoked security clearances for the firm's lawyers, blocked federal contracts, and limited their access to government officials. Howell emphasized that the problem wasn't Trump's personal criticisms but the official actions taken against the firm based on those views. The case illustrates how Trump's characteristic unfiltered commentary undermined legal defenses by revealing the political motivations behind executive actions. Howell also cited similar coercive behavior toward other major law firms, some of which made significant concessions to avoid being targeted. Legal experts noted that this ruling could influence outcomes in related cases involving other firms.How Trump's own words helped him lose a fight with law firm Perkins Coie | ReutersSamsung Electronics announced that its subsidiary, Harman International, will acquire the audio business of U.S.-based Masimo for $350 million. The move is aimed at bolstering Samsung's position in the global consumer audio market, which is projected to grow from $60.8 billion in 2025 to $70 billion by 2029. The company emphasized that integrating Masimo's audio operations with Harman will enhance its sound technology offerings and create synergies across its mobile, TV, and home appliance divisions. The deal aligns with Samsung's broader strategy to pursue significant mergers and acquisitions to address investor concerns and drive growth. Samsung reaffirmed its commitment to delivering concrete M&A outcomes during its annual shareholder meeting in March.Samsung Electronics says unit Harman acquires Masimo's audio business for $350 mln | ReutersA growing number of wealthy defendants are pursuing pardons from President Donald Trump, some spending over $1 million on legal teams, lobbyists, and consultants to improve their chances. The pardon process under Trump's second term has become informal and politically charged, with access and loyalty appearing to play major roles in who receives clemency. Business figures such as Trevor Milton, founder of Nikola Corp., have successfully received pardons after building political connections, contributing to Trump's campaign, and framing their prosecutions as examples of a weaponized justice system.Traditional channels for clemency through the Justice Department have largely been bypassed, replaced by direct appeals to the White House and advocacy from influential allies. Lawyers well-connected to Trump's circle are reportedly charging premium fees to prepare pardon bids. High-profile figures including crypto executives Sam Bankman-Fried and Roger Ver, as well as media entrepreneur Carlos Watson, have sought or secured relief through this unofficial route. Trump's administration claims it is correcting injustices, but critics argue the system now favors those with money and political ties.Lawyers Are Quoting $1 Million in Fees to Get Pardons to TrumpA federal judge in Rhode Island has blocked the Trump administration from proceeding with layoffs at three small federal agencies, issuing a preliminary injunction against a March 14 executive order that aimed to eliminate or drastically reduce the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS), the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA). Chief Judge John McConnell ruled that the order was likely unlawful, calling it “arbitrary and capricious” and in conflict with the Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act by bypassing Congress's authority to make laws and allocate funding.The coalition of states challenging the order argued the closures would cause immediate harm, and McConnell agreed, noting that MBDA had essentially been reduced to zero staff, making it impossible to administer its programs. The ruling rejected the administration's claim that the harms were merely speculative and emphasized that irreparable harm had already occurred. The judge also denied a request by the Trump administration to delay enforcement of the injunction. The legal fight is ongoing, but the decision represents a significant obstacle to Trump's broader efforts to restructure the federal government by executive order.Trump Must Halt Layoffs at Three Small Agencies, Judge Says (1) This is a public episode.

More trouble tonight for the state's controversial high-speed rail project.It now needs a lot more money fast.At a budget hearing in the state assembly Wednesday, California Legislative Analyst Office representative Helen Kerstein told lawmakers the project is now reporting it's $7 billion short of what it needs by next June, 2026, and Kerstein says that's not all.“There is no specific plan to meet that roughly 7 billion dollar gap from Merced to Bakersfield. We also think there's some risk that that gap could grow,” said Kerstein.With no plan in sight to meet that shortfall, Kerstein says the project could grind to a halt in as little as 15 months.

The recent market volatility has many investors feeling anxious as major indices have dropped by 14%. But what if I told you that market downturns actually create some of the best wealth-building opportunities?When markets tumble, our emotions tempt us to make destructive financial moves. Panic selling locks in losses. Trying to time market bottoms proves futile even for experts. Halting investments means missing chances to buy assets at discount prices. These emotional reactions undermine wealth creation far more than market fluctuations themselves.Remember that market volatility is not just normal – it's necessary for creating the long-term returns that build wealth. By focusing on what you can control and maintaining perspective, you can transform these uncertain periods from times of anxiety into opportunities for financial growth.  xoxo,RachelWhere to find me:Instagram: @heyrachelcoonsTikTok: @heyrachelcoonsJoin my FREE live training What kind of grocery shopper are you?

Edition No110 | 11-03-2025 - Yesterday's episode has proved to be tremendously popular and provoked an intense debate in the comments section. So here goes, part 2 with a breakdown of the indicators that Trump's actions, rather than his words, are following an increasingly pro-Russian position. 1) Voting with Russia in both the UN General Assembly and Security Council. 2) Vetoing statement by the G7 that seek to condemn Russia and create consensus.3) Vetoing G7 proposal for a task force to combat Russian shadow oil fleet.4) Cutting off military aid and intelligence sharing to Ukraine, including F16 data.5) Halting cyber operations against Russia, dismantling barriers to foreign interference. 6) Indicating that US joint military training operations in Europe would be suspended. 7) Undermining NATO by casting doubt on commitment to Article 5 / ‘delinquent' allies. 8) Perpetuating and amplifying Russian talking points in America's legislatures.Where is the US getting its framework for concessions it is suggesting to Ukraine? We need to look back at the Istanbul negotiations of 2022, which involved preliminary peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, but where Russia's demands were too punitive for Ukraine to accept. The long-term implications of the Istanbul framework would have been Ukrainian isolation and long-term capitulation. Now these are the conditions that Biden rightly rejected, but which Trump has resurrected and is seek to pressure (by all means available) Ukraine to accept, despite the deeply problematic implications, and lack of realism behind them. ----------https://dzygaspaw.com/triad-silicon-curtain?notes=Jonathan%20Fink%20for%20TRIAD&project=Triad:%20Night%20Drones----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------LINKS:https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2025/03/putin-hitler-munich-parallel/681973/https://news.online.ua/en/the-us-is-ending-support-for-ukrainian-f-16s-but-there-is-a-way-out-891472/----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

Edition No109 | 10-03-2025 - When it comes to Trump, the rhetoric and contradictory fire-hose of sound bites can be distracting and divisive. They also create the impression of impulsive and capricious chaos. Let's look at his actions instead, which show an alarming degree of consistency. His actions that can be discerned, follow an increasingly pro-Russian position. 1) Voting with Russia in both the UN General Assembly and Security Council 2) Vetoing statement by the G7 that seek to condemn Russia and create consensus3) Vetoing G7 proposal for a task force to combat Russian shadow oil fleet4) Cutting off military aid and intelligence sharing to Ukraine, including F16 data5) Halting offensive cyber operations against Russia6) Dismantling American logistics base in Poland – military insurance for allies 7) Undermining NATO by casting doubt on commitment to Article 58) Perpetuating and amplifying Russian talking points in America's legislatures ----------https://dzygaspaw.com/triad-silicon-curtain?notes=Jonathan%20Fink%20for%20TRIAD&project=Triad:%20Night%20Drones----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------LINKS:https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2025/03/putin-hitler-munich-parallel/681973/https://news.online.ua/en/the-us-is-ending-support-for-ukrainian-f-16s-but-there-is-a-way-out-891472/----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

Donald Trump takes the stage on Tuesday night, addressing Congress to make the case for his agenda, after a whirlwind six weeks in office. This week, Trump has levied tariffs against Canada, Mexico and China, which set the stock market plunging. He also halted funding of Ukraine's war effort following a public berating of Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky. And his DOGE-cuts of various agencies, including the IRS and the Department of Defense continue. We'll digest the news with a panel of experts. Guests: Marisa Lagos, politics correspondent, KQED; co-host, KQED's Political Breakdown Annie Lowrey, staff writer, The Atlantic Aaron David Miller, senior fellow for the American Statecraft Program, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; former negotiator and advisor, on Middle Eastern issues to Republican and Democratic secretaries of state.

Darren Croft studies one of the ocean's most charismatic and spectacular animals – the killer whale. Orca are probably best known for their predatory behaviour: ganging up to catch hapless seals or attack other whales. But for the last fifteen years, Darren Croft's focus has been on a gentler aspect of killer whale existence: their family and reproductive lives . Killer whales live in multi-generational family groups. Each family is led by an old matriarch, often well into her 80s. The rest of the group are her daughters and sons, and grand-children. Especially intriguing to Darren is that female orca go through something like the menopause - an extremely rare phenomenon in the animal kingdom, only documented in just five species of toothed whales and of course in humans. Halting female reproduction in midlife is an evolutionary mystery, but it is one which Darren Croft argues can be explained by studying killer whales. Darren is Professor of Animal Behaviour at the University of Exeter. He talks to Jim Al-Kalili about his research on killer whales, his previous work revealing sophisticated social behaviour in fish, his life on the farm, and the downsides and upsides of being dyslexic.
