The Trump/Xi summit produces two pandas and not much else, violence in Ethiopia could have massive regional consequences, and Manchester City is found guilty of nearly a decade of cheating.Tommy and Ben close the loop on Xi Jinping's state visit to Washington and how Trump walked away with only vague commitments. On Iran, Trump is reportedly planning to resume bombing after the midterms, and a workaround in the Strait of Hormuz is getting oil flowing again, but it may make Trump less likely to cut a deal. A potential plot at a UK base used by US bombers to strike Iran ends with five British men arrested. The guys do a deep dive into Ethiopia, where a peace deal from 2022 is unraveling and the risk of a conflict that could merge with the wars in Sudan and Somalia is very real. Manchester City is found guilty on 115 charges of breaking Premier League financial rules for nearly a decade — and the story highlights the complications of state-owned entities with unlimited money buying their way into sports. OpenAI pauses its latest model because it kept lying, and a previous model hacked an Australian healthcare website. And finally, we take a tour of Trump's ambassador corps: Charles Kushner ignoring France's foreign ministry, Kimberly Guilfoyle steering contracts to her boyfriend's clients in Greece, and the US ambassador to Belgium picking a fight over circumcision. At the end of the show, Tommy speaks to Sam Vigersky, an international affairs fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, about the dangerous on-the-ground reality in Haiti and how the Trump administration is making it worse.Hate listening to ads?

Today on The Horn, we are bringing you a bonus episode on Ethiopia from Crisis Group's Global Podcast Hold Your Fire!.In this episode, Richard Atwood speaks with Crisis Group's Africa director Murithi Mutiga about renewed fighting in northern Ethiopia. They examine why the Pretoria agreement, which ended the devastating 2020–2022 war between Tigrayan rebels and the federal government, failed to deliver lasting peace. They assess the fragile new alliance of Tigrayan, Amhara and other rebel groups, Eritrea's alleged backing, and the threat it poses to the federal government. They also discuss how war-weary Tigrayans view the fighting and how the conflict could unfold. Finally, they explore the risk of direct war between Ethiopia and Eritrea, entanglement with Sudan's conflict and wider regional rivalries, and whether diplomacy can halt the fighting and prevent a broader regional war.For more check out our latest statement “Arresting the Dangerous Descent Back into War in Northern Ethiopia” and our Ethiopia page.

Ethiopia has one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world, rumoured to be the descendants of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon in 950 BC. From the 1970s to 1990s, this community known as Beta Israel was persecuted under the Communist regime, and Israel evacuated more than 20,000 Ethiopian Jews in dramatic airlifts known as Operation Solomon and Operation Moses. But a few thousand were left behind.

Episode 240 with Beamlak Alemayehu, Founder and CEO of Medanit Digital Health, Ethiopia's first integrated, multi channel digital healthcare access system connecting patients with doctors, medication and mental health services through a mobile application, website and low bandwidth call centre.Beamlak is a clinical nurse and social worker whose experience of long waiting times, misinformation, medicine shortages and fragmented healthcare services inspired her to build a more accessible and patient centred alternative. Medanit has registered more than 50,000 users across Ethiopia, delivered over 58,000 medications and facilitated more than 78,000 consultations and healthcare support interactions. Beamlak is also one of the 2026 recipients of the Bayer Foundation Women Entrepreneurs Award, which supports women led businesses developing solutions in health and food security.In this episode, Beamlak shares her journey from working directly with patients to building one of Ethiopia's emerging digital healthcare companies. Drawing on her clinical experience and the lessons learned from growing Medanit, she explores what it takes to use technology to redesign the patient journey and build a healthcare business within a complex and underserved market.What We Discuss With BeamlakWhy building more hospitals and training more doctors may not solve Africa's healthcare access crisis if patients still cannot navigate fragmented services.Can digital healthcare remain affordable for low income patients while generating enough revenue to build a commercially sustainable company?Could patient data help Africa predict demand, reduce medicine shortages and strengthen pharmaceutical supply chains?What does it take to earn trust, protect patient data and maintain clinical quality while delivering healthcare through technology?Can Medanit transform a locally adapted Ethiopian platform into a scalable African business serving 500,000 people?Did you miss my previous episode where I discuss Millions of Streams, Little Ownership: Is Nigeria Building a Music Industry or Just Exporting Talent?

Ethiopia's army promises restraint amid fears of new civil war - Faisal Roble. by Radio Islam

Earlier in the summer we reported on the completion of Nicolò Pini's project “Living in Late Antique rural Sicily, between Byzantium and Islam” which was supported by The Barakat Trust in 2024.Now, we are delighted to welcome Nicolò on to the podcast where he discusses in more detail the context of his dig and the importance of tracking developments in rural areas to uncover Sicily's medieval past. Nicolò's dig took place at Terravecchia di Caltavuturo on the top of a hill to the east of Palermo, the island's capital. He shows how the results of his team's excavations could contribute to a richer understanding of how populations lived under Islamic rule and beyond.Nicolò's project and team, with support from The Barakat Trust, has been able to kick start an effort to return to rural archaeology on the Mediterranean's largest island where results from other similar sites and future excavations can contribute to the bigger picture of how Sicily's landscape and population changed under Islamic rule and after the return of the Normans.The team were able to produce a 3D scan of the project which you can explore here: https://skfb.ly/pznAYNicolò Pini is a classical archaeologist by training who has spent the past decade working at the chronological and cultural margins of the discipline — in the Late Antique and Early Islamic Near East. He received his PhD in 2017 from the University of Cologne with a thesis on Arab settlements in Late Antique and early Islamic periods. He has since held postdoctoral positions at universities in Brussels and Bonn.This episode is part of our series Peripheries which seeks to push our understanding of the cultural heritage of the Islamic world away from the traditional centres that we associate with it. With a fantastic range of guests we will examine places and topics often considered peripheral to the Islamic world and understand why they are in fact of central importance to the region's cultural heritage, from Armenia to England, from Ethiopia to West Africa.

September 27, 2026 - Wednesday Bible Class In this episode Levi Word leads a heartfelt Bible study centered on 2 Peter 1, challenging listeners not to stop at baptism but to grow into Christian maturity. He explains why Peter (and Jude) warned the early church about false teachers and why spiritual growth—beyond initial faith—is essential for remaining faithful. Levi walks through the eight qualities Peter lists—faith, moral excellence (virtue), knowledge, self-control (temperance), perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and selfless love—illustrating each with Scripture (including Hebrews 11, Ephesians 2:19–22, Philippians 4:8, Psalm 19, Romans 1, Ephesians 6, and 1 Corinthians 13). He defines faith, emphasizes knowledge gained from both creation and the Scriptures, and stresses practical disciplines such as daily prayer, Scripture study, and putting on the full armor of God to withstand trials and false doctrine. The episode mixes careful exegesis with personal stories and concrete examples: Levi references conversations with Neal and Bill, recounts time as a police officer, shares moments from working in Ethiopia, and reflects on visiting Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls to underscore the reliability of Scripture. These anecdotes help translate doctrine into real-life application. Key takeaways for listeners: guard against false teaching; begin growing immediately when you become a Christian regardless of age; shape your mind by Philippians 4:8; practice self-control and perseverance through life's storms; and let love (1 Corinthians 13) be the capstone of Christian character. Expect a mix of biblical teaching, historical context, practical counsel, and personal testimony designed to encourage steady spiritual growth and a life lived "His way."   Duration 50:13

US President Donald Trump and China's President Xi Jinping have exchanged warm words at a lavish White House state dinner but gave little indication of progress on pressing issues. Xi stressed that they should ensure artificial intelligence remains "under human control", while Trump toasted a future of "harmony, peace and success" for both nations.Also in the programme: As the Tigrayans go on the offensive in Ethiopia, where is that conflict headed? And a new test for brain tumours that can slash diagnosis time to just two hours.(Photo: Presidents Xi and Trump in Washington DC. Credit: Reuters)

As fighting escalates between federal government forces and an alliance of armed groups including the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front, we ask what's behind it and hear from a former TPLF spokesperson.Also in the programme: as the Pope warns we are in danger of “losing our humanity” to AI machines, how can we make AI safe? Could President Xi's wife Peng Liyuan be China's "soft power super-weapon"? And Manchester City football club is found guilty of breaking financial rules.(IMAGE: TPLF forces sit along a street in Mekelle, capital of Tigray Region, Ethiopia, September 24, 2026 / CREDIT: Obtained by REUTERS)

Today we're sharing a bonus episode from the WASSAP podcast, where Alan joins hosts Désirée Custers and Hubert Kinkoh to explore the growing interconnectedness of the Horn of Africa, the Gulf, and the wider Red Sea region.The conversation traces how Gulf engagement in the Horn has evolved over the past decade, examining the impact of Gulf rivalries, the war in Sudan, tensions in Yemen, and the fallout from the Iran crisis on regional security dynamics. Alan discusses how conflicts across the Red Sea increasingly spill over into the Horn, creating new patterns of competition, cooperation, and strategic alignment.A central theme of the episode is the relationship between regional geopolitics and state agency. The discussion highlights how actors in the Horn of Africa navigate external rivalries and partnerships while pursuing their own interests and ambitions. Looking ahead, Alan reflects on the challenges facing regional diplomacy and why the growing integration of the Horn, the Gulf, and the wider West Asia region remains one of the most important trends shaping the region's future.About the WASSAP podcastThe WASSAP: the Africa - West Asia Podcast translates the findings of a three-year research project on West Asian (Gulf)–Sub-Saharan African relations into an accessible, engaging audio format. It explores how economic, political, cultural, religious, and security ties between selected Gulf countries and African partners are evolving and why these shifts matter globally, particularly for Europe.Hosts of the podcast are Desirée Custers (project manager, CARPO) & Hubert Kinkoh (Senior Researcher, CARPO)About the WASSAP projectThe project explores the multi-dimensional and complex relations between selected Gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Iran) and four Sub-Saharan countries (South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia). It aims to deconstruct and analyze their economic networks, cultural and religious affiliations, and political and security cooperation. Based on empirical research, the project provides a better understanding of Gulf-African exchange, its challenges and opportunities, as well as its implications for Europe.

Hundreds of thousands of people were killed in a two-year between Tigrayan forces and Ethiopia's government which ended in a peace deal in 2022. Today the trauma and fear of war creeps back in as both sides accuse each other of launching new offensives. Earlier this week the TPLF announced a new coalition alongside other militias - some of whom had previously been bitter opponents.The so-called Alliance for survival is made up of seven armed rebel groups which have been waging their own battles against the Ethiopian government in different parts of the country.Tigrayan forces have seized three airports in Tigray, and in response Ethiopian airlines have suspended all flights to the region. But why are things escalating now? Is the clock ticking for the Ethiopian government? And will Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed achieve his goal of accessing the Red Sea? To understand things better and break it all down we're joined by Tsedale Lemma, an Ethiopian journalist and founder of the Addis Standard and Nicholas Westcott, former director of the Royal African Society.

Forces in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region seized three airports this week, only a few days after seven armed and political groups formed an alliance against the government. Also, climate control for art and artifacts accounts for a large share of museum carbon emissions, so museums are introducing new protocols to cut emissions while still protecting their collections. And, a new free database now holds nearly 4 million records of people enslaved in British colonies from the Caribbean to South Africa in the early 1800s. Plus, what's next for Nepal?

Renewed fighting in northern Ethiopia between Tigrayan forces and the national army is threatening a return to civil war after four years of peace. On Thursday, The Ethiopian National Defense Force siad it had killed hundrends of Tigray fighters and captured a large number of others. The military described its activity as a counter-attack. Fighting is also escalating in Amhara and Afar regions of Ethiopia. We hear from a resident in Mekelle, Tigray's capital and what this means for the peace and stability of the country. And New York is hosting world leaders for the UN General Assembly. We get on a discussion with Africa's young people to understand if they connect with the policies that affect their future.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producer: Rukia Bulle, Bella Twine and Keikantse Shumba Technical Producer: Herbert Masua Senior Producer: Charles Gitonga Editors: Daniel Dadzie and Maryam Abdalla

'Shambolic', 'disheartening' and 'carnage' - some of the words being used by farmers to describe the application process for England's biggest farm environmental scheme that opened, and closed, on Tuesday. This is the Sustainable Farming Incentive, which pays farmers for environmental work, like planting hedges or improving soil. On Tuesday, the total budget available was £233 million, it was a first come, first served system, with thousands of farmers applying and in six hours all the money had gone. And baked beans - which we are talking about as part of our week looking at pulses. At the moment, all our baked beans are imported from China, Ethiopia, the USA and Canada. Three years ago, we visited Lincolnshire farmer Andrew Ward who was growing the first-ever British variety of baked bean. He's been working alongside the University of Warwick with a view to breaking into the market. This year he's grown 42 acres nearly three times the amount he first planted in 2023. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Donald Trump tells the UN General Assembly he's got “a big decision to make” on whether to drive Iran “into hell” or negotiate a deal as the Iranian delegation watched. The combative speech took pot shots at the UN itself and Trump re-branded AI. He also lauded a deal over Greenland – but what did he really gain? Anthony Albanese gets a selfie with Trump as he takes his digital agenda to New York but did he land his message of global leadership? Plus, the EU offers its first associate membership to Canada – could Australia be next? Saudia Arabia seeks international support in its renewed fight against the Houthis. Fears of another civil war in Ethiopia as a new rebel coalition vows to remove the government. And is it time to say goodbye to the bank of mum and dad?

//The Wire//2300Z September 23, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY CONTINUES IN NEW YORK. AMERICAN SANCTIONS ON IRANIAN AIRLINES COME INTO EFFECT. COMMERCIAL VESSEL STRUCK IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ. RUSSIAN HELICOPTER BRIEFLY CROSSES POLISH BORDER, ESCALATING GROWING CONCERNS OF AIRSPACE INCURSIONS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-United Kingdom: Immigration issues continue to develop, as channel boat crossings have escalated over the past few days. At least two inflatable boats made landfall in Kent overnight, prompting concerns as to why they were not intercepted and turned around before reaching land. The recent migration surge has resulted in widespread protests at port facilities throughout the country, which have also become more tense as authorities provide security for migration operations.Middle East: This morning a commercial vessel was struck in the Strait of Hormuz, which resulted in a major fire. The crew of the M/V CAPE DAO abandoned ship, after one crew member was killed and another wounded during the strike.Poland: Overnight one border incursion was reported near Braniewo, as a Russian helicopter from Kaliningrad flew south over the border. The helicopter flew about 300 meters into Polish airspace before returning to Kaliningrad less than a minute later. Poland scrambled fighters to intercept the aircraft, and ground forces were placed on alert in the border region.Analyst Comment: This was probably a classic probing incident. Russia has very obviously been carrying out reconnaissance to probe air defenses and test NATO's response, and this case was probably intended to spin up Polish responses, which they dutifully did. Russia probably doesn't need to do this, but these types of light border incursions have been common over the past few decades. This incident is not exactly earth-shattering, but it's also not unremarkable either, and mostly serves as yet another example of how the Cold War era escalations remain constant.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - As of this morning, American sanctions took effect to sanction nations which allow Iranian commercial aviation to operate within their country. These sanctions target nations that allow Iranian aircraft to land and refuel, with the United States threatening to cut off those nations from the US banking system.Analyst Comment: In response to the United States announcing a total ban on Iranian commercial air travel around the world, China has announced that they will continue to allow Iranian commercial aircraft to operate within their nation. This position was announced the same day that the White House welcomes President Xi for his first state visit in a decade.New York: The United Nations General Assembly continues as before. Various protest events took place outside the UN building throughout the day, including a few minor groups which blocked traffic for a short while. Analyst Comment: Otherwise, an alleged meeting also took place between American and Iranian diplomats on the sidelines of the Assembly, which does not appear to have resulted in any sort of positive movement toward a peace agreement. Both sides appear to be heavily entrenched in their positions, with no real room for actual negotiations at the moment.Illinois: The Joliet Refinery is returning to normal operations, after being offline for the past ten days due to flooding which caused a power outage. Fuel prices are expected to drop by a few cents throughout the Midwest as this refinery begins to come back online, with gas prices expected to return to the national average after being elevated due to this refinery being offline.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Within northeastern Africa, trouble is brewing in Ethiopia. This beleaguered African nation has been host to civil unrest for many years, as tensions between government forces and rebels within the Tigray region have remained constant.Northern Ethiopia has become inflamed following years of dispute over the administration of the Tigray region. In 2022, a tenuous peace settled in throughout Ethiopia and Eritrea, after Ethiopia and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) reached a sort of truce regarding the administration of the Tigray region. Last month, the peace deal started unravelling, and as of the past few days, the TPLF is mobilizing once again. This time, a coalition of various militia groups has formed, comprised of the TPLF, the Amhara Fano ​National Movement, and a handful of others operating under a common banner. As of this morning, TPLF militants have captured the airports in Mekelle, Axum, and Shire, which are comparatively important airports throughout the region. Based on statements by the group, the TPLF is once again trying to overthrow the Ethiopian government and re-take power (as the TPLF ruled the country from the early 90's up until 2018).While it looks like yet another typical African conflict between the standard warlord types, this conflict is escalating at the worst possible time, when there is already tension in the region as brought on by the Houthis just across the Red Sea. Perhaps most importantly, is the complex web of relationships and alliances. As is extremely common throughout the region, when there's trouble in one African nation, the culprit is usually next door. And in this case, Ethiopia has accused Eritrea of funding the TPLF and trying to overthrow Ethiopia (accusations which Eritrea denies).How this develops over the next few weeks will be important to watch, simply due to the tensions that are already complicating the region. Nobody needs another war adjacent to a major international waterway, and if this gets worse there's no telling how more destabilization will affect the region. If the TPLF can keep their grievances centered on the Ethiopian government, and if the conflict stays within Ethiopia (as it has so far) this won't be that impactful to the world economy. But if this conflict becomes more regional in a few weeks, this could get ugly. Now that the TPLF has a coalition of other groups, they cover a wider swath of public sentiment, and have the potential to turn up the heat, and if they so choose...allow the pot to boil over.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Burnout doesn't always announce itself with a crash. Sometimes it creeps in while you're still achieving, still leading, still doing “all the right things” until you notice you're dreading shifts, snapping at people you love, or feeling numb with patients. That's where our conversation goes, with James Maskalyk, an emergency physician in downtown Toronto, the first wellness director in his division, and someone who has helped bring emergency medicine training and wellness thinking to Ethiopia.We get honest about what high-stress healthcare work does to the body and mind: shift work, chronic cortisol, trauma exposure, PTSD, and the subtle slide into depersonalisation. We also talk about the system problem, not just the individual problem, when pay and performance are tied to throughput instead of the quality of care and the humanity of the clinician. Along the way, we share the moments that changed how we see “wellness,” including the realization that medicine is an act of empathy and you can't pour from an empty cup.Then we move into practical, real-world tools: taking meaningful time away (including month-long sabbaticals), creating space inside the ER for small moments of connection, building peer support, and doing debriefs that help teams process what they just lived through. We also discuss journaling, creative work, and therapy as ways to build vocabulary for what you're carrying so you can make changes earlier, not years later. If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a colleague, and leave a review so more healthcare workers can find it.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmail.comDr. Maskalyk's substack: https://jamesmaskalyk.substack.com/

It's hot in St. Louis. Like, “everybody in the neighborhood has given up on shirts” hot. Lern's porch has gone tarps off, Rizz is worried his shirtless yard work would lower property values, and somehow that leads to the crew comparing how often they pee in their own backyards. Rafe even demonstrates for his dog when necessary. Fatherhood is beautiful.This daily comedy also asks how many different homes everyone has lived in, uncovering everything from Rafe's Craigslist roommate from Barbados to Moon temporarily living in a GMC Jimmy. Then Rafe's attempt to buy a new TV turns into a conspiracy theory that Best Buy may just be ordering everything from Amazon anyway. “In stock” apparently means whatever we want it to mean now.Things get genuinely incredible with a St. Louis story about two-year-old conjoined twin sisters from Ethiopia who were successfully separated during a 25-hour surgery at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon. A team of doctors, nurses and specialists spent a year preparing for the procedure, allowing the sisters — who had never been able to look directly at each other — to finally see, hold and snuggle one another face-to-face.The crew also says goodbye to a St. Louis institution as O'Connell's Pub announces plans to close after more than 60 years, before former bartenders Lern and Rafe debate the worst day of the week to work behind the bar. Spoiler: Sunday customers apparently arrive carrying the Sunday Scaries and make them everybody else's problem.Finally, this daily comedy discovers “wellness darties,” the new college trend replacing some traditional daytime partying with Pilates, yoga, running, ice baths, matcha and protein shakes. Lern loves it. Moon has discovered the magic of steam rooms. Rizz is horrified and would apparently prefer college students honor tradition by making terrible decisions while their bodies are still young enough to recover.College kids doing yoga instead of keg stands? Backyard urinals connected to gutters? Shirtless suburban dads protecting property values?

Where did we come from? How did humanity, with our complicated civilizations and all our human quirks and foibles, come to be? Much of what we know about those questions traces back to important fossil finds in Ethiopia. Paleoanthropologist Yohannes Haile-Selassie has been key in that hunt for answers. A skilled fossil-finder, he's helped discover some of the most important known hominid fossils, including the bones used to describe the 2.5-million-year-old Australopithecus garhi, the first pieces of a 4.4-million-year-old partial skeleton of Ardipithecus ramidus, and fossils of the 5.8-million-year-old Ardipithecus kadabba, to name a few.He joins Host Flora Lichtman to talk about what fieldwork is really like, big questions in human origins, and making the field of paleoanthropology more equitable. Guest:Dr. Yohannes Haile-Selassie is the director of the Institute of Human Origins at Arizona State University, and a professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
