The absence of a coherent international response to the crises in Gaza and Ukraine has raised questions about what used to be called the international rules-based order. Does it still exist at all, or has the reality of raw military and economic power trumped every other consideration?Against that backdrop, what role, if any, does the United Nations have to play? And what is Ireland's role within the UN?On today's podcast Niall McCann, who recently left the United Nations Development Programme after more than a decade working throughout the UN system in positions in Africa, Europe and the Middle East, talks to Hugh about what he found at the UN, why it isn't working and how he thinks it should be reformed.He also explains why Ireland's standing within the UN is lower than is sometimes suggested.

When the agtech is not working in the field, we can be quick to search for answers in the product itself. But sometimes, the solution is not there. That's because it's not a technical problem, but rather a social systems challenge.Kevin Boyle is the Director of Organizational and Workforce Development at the Equitable Food Initiative (EFI). He argues that a key component of the farming and food system is often overlooked; and that's the people who work on the ground. Farm workers can be seen as low-skilled, with little more to offer than the set tasks they perform. However, Kevin is seeking to change this approach, to better recognize the knowledge these workers have, and to create recognizable career paths for them.Kevin also believes that focusing on the workforce will ultimately benefit the development and adoption of agtech. He spent much of his career in telecommunication tech, where he helped integrate the new digital technologies of the 1990s into the system, including the workers.Sarah and Kevin discuss:·  Kevin's unique career background, from growing up on a farm, to working in telecommunications tech, and consulting across Europe and the United States.·  How the perception of farm workers as ‘tools' rather than humans with skills, knowledge, and desires has hindered tech adoption.·  How to better recognize the skills and knowledge of farm workers, to build high performance farming businesses·  How applied university research can be used to test a product in the broader system before it goes to market.Useful links:·  Can robotics solve the farm labor problem?

In the 1980's and 1990's, America's biggest outlaw motorcycle gangs were looking to expand all over Europe.

The Great Nordic Biker War erupted in the 1990s as the Hells Angels and Bandidos clashed for control of drug routes and territory across Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland. What began as turf disputes escalated into bombings, shootings, and even attacks with anti-tank weapons o, shocking a population that never expected their streets to resemble war zones.

Patrick opens the hour by tackling unsettling headlines from Europe, with France and Germany bracing for potential conflict, and raises the question of what governments might know that ordinary citizens do not.

Where does soil come from? How has it shaped the rise—and fall—of human civilizations? And why is it now at the center of some of the most urgent debates about food, farming, and the environment?Join John and special guest Louis De Jaeger—landscape architect, author, and agro-ecology advocate—as they dig into the history of soil. Together, they trace the story of soil from the birth of the Earth's crust to the collapse of ancient empires. They explore how the forced removal of Indigenous peoples and their agricultural wisdom devastated soils in the Americas, how the transition from farming to eat to farming to export led to catastrophes like the Dust Bowl, and how industrial agriculture, monocultures, and the rise of pesticides became the norm.Why did the Green Revolution sow the seeds of ecological damage while trying to feed the world? What was behind the 1970s mantra "Get big or get out"? How are globalization, technology, and today's protests across Europe connected to centuries of soil mismanagement? And most importantly, where do we go from here?----------Order Louis De Jaeger's NEW book: Save Our Soils: How regenerative food and farming will save your health and the planetVisit Louis' website at www.louisdj.com----------In Sponsorship with Cornell University: Dyson Cornell SC Johnson College of Business-----------Join the History of Fresh Produce Club for ad-free listening, bonus episodes, book discounts and access to an exclusive chatroom community.Support us!Share this episode with your friendsGive a 5-star ratingWrite a review -----------Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter here for extra stories related to recent episodes, book recommendations, a sneak peek of upcoming episodes and more.-----------Step into history - literally!

As Vladimir Putin rubs shoulders with Xi Jinping and Narendra Modi in Beijing, the West's failure to force Russia into peace in Ukraine has rarely been portrayed more starkly. Despite sanctions threats, neither China nor India has shown any sign of curtailing trade with Russia, and in response to Donald Trump's decision to single out Delhi for additional tariffs over its dealings in Russian energy, Prime Minister Modi appears to be looking elsewhere for diplomatic cover.To discuss how Moscow can benefit from strengthening these alliances, Victoria and Vitaly are joined by pre-eminent Russia expert, Fiona Hill, who is currently a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution - a Washington-based foreign policy think tank. She gives her take on the state of diplomatic efforts to end the conflict, and what the US and Europe might do next.You can fill out our audience questionnaire here: bit.ly/ukrainecastfeedbackToday's episode is presented by Victoria Derbyshire and Vitaly Shevchenko.

Is the US drifting into Peronism? We trace the playbook, tariffs and import substitution, national champions, censorship-by-intimidation, and a war on independent institutions, and map it onto Trump's America: sacking a Fed governor, menacing J-Powell, firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, deploying the National Guard, and the Treasury taking a slice of Intel. Along the way, we tell the family story that makes the point better than any chart: two Italian brothers leave Lombardy in 1950, one goes to Argentina (then the world's 7th-richest country), the other to the US. Eighty years later, identical genes, opposite outcomes. Why? Institutions. We uncover why “markets” aren't a moral compass; why an emerging-market test now applies to America; what Turkey teaches about politicos capturing central banks; and how a weaker, politicised dollar would rattle Bretton Woods, push allies away, and turn a stock market priced for perfection into kindling. It's part musical, part macro: from Don't Cry for Me, Argentina to Don't Cry for Me, Oklahoma. We'll explain how it starts, how it ends, and what the rest of us in Europe should do while the richest third-world country in history experiments on the global monetary system. Hosted on Acast.

Écoutez l'histoire de Charles Darwin, le scientifique qui a permis de rompre avec les croyances ancestrales selon lesquelles Dieu a créé toute vie, racontée par l'historienne Virginie Girod, dans un récit inédit en deux épisodes. En 1831, Charles Darwin, qui a terminé ses études de théologie à l'Université de Cambridge, pourrait se destiner à une carrière de pasteur… Mais sa véritable passion, c'est le naturalisme, l'étude et la classification de la nature dans toute sa diversité, animaux, plantes ou minéraux. Dans cet épisode du podcast Au cœur de l'Histoire, Virginie Girod raconte le début de la vie de Charles Darwin, né dans une famille bourgeoise de l'ouest de l'Angleterre et dont le père, médecin, espère qu'il va marcher dans ses pas.

Europe's largest herd of wild horses, in north-west Spain, is under threat. Numbers have halved in the last fifty years. Now around ten thousand wild horses roam freely in the hills and mountains of Galicia. But they are facing a number of challenges, not least the loss of their habitat and the threat from their main predator, wolves. There are also legal demands imposed by the regional government which have placed added financial burdens on the local people who, in effect, “own” these horses. And yet Galicia's wild horses have been an integral part of the local culture for centuries, particularly during annual festivals known as “rapas das bestas,” the shearing of the beasts. The horses are also known as engineers of the landscape, credited with boosting the local flora and fauna and with helping to control forest fires. John Murphy travels to Galicia to hear what is happening to these extraordinary animals and why they are so important.

In this episode, LDG de-briefs Alyssa Thompson's reported move to Chelsea and Jacqueline Ovalle's record-breaking transfer to the Orlando Pride. He also shares his opinions on the overblown "NWSL exodus" narrative. Yet, he explains why it is understandable for fans to feel bittersweet about the fact that superstars like Alyssa Thompson are transferring to Europe, and how they should also be excited about what Jacqueline Ovalle has to offer to the NWSL!This is a must-listen episode if you want to understand how these moves will affect the players involved, and how LDG thinks these players will fit into their new sides, and how the marketing shape of the NWSL is evolving away from USWNT stars solely taking the forefront.Thank you for listening!

The First King of England: Æthelstan and the Birth of a Kingdom (Princeton University Press, 2025) by Professor David Woodman is a foundational biography of Æthelstan (d. 939), the early medieval king whose territorial conquests and shrewd statesmanship united the peoples, languages, and cultures that would come to be known as the “kingdom of the English.” In this panoramic work, Dr. Woodman blends masterful storytelling with the latest scholarship to paint a multifaceted portrait of this immensely important but neglected figure, a man celebrated in his day as much for his benevolence, piety, and love of learning as he was for his ambitious reign.Set against the backdrop of warring powers in early medieval Europe, The First King of England sheds new light on Æthelstan's early life, his spectacular military victories and the innovative way he governed his kingdom, his fostering of the church, the deft political alliances he forged with Europe's royal houses, and his death and enduring legacy. It begins with the reigns of Alfred the Great and Edward the Elder, Æthelstan's grandfather and father, describing how they consolidated and expanded the “kingdom of the Anglo-Saxons.” But it was Æthelstan who would declare himself the first king of all England when, in 927, he conquered the viking kingdom at York, required the submission of a Scottish king, and secured an annual tribute from the Welsh kings.Beautifully illustrated and breathtaking in scope, The First King of England is the most comprehensive, up-to-date biography of Æthelstan available, bringing a magisterial richness of detail to the life of a consequential British monarch whose strategic and political sophistication was unprecedented for his time. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Foreign journalists covering the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit 2025 in Tianjin hailed the SCO as a key platform for regional countries to jointly safeguard security, promote economic growth, and uphold peaceful development through trust and cooperation.报道2025 年天津上海合作组织峰会的外国记者纷纷表示，上合组织是区域各国依托互信与合作，共同维护安全、推动经济增长、坚守和平发展道路的关键平台。Irfan Ashraf, a journalist from Pakistan, described the Tianjin summit as "crucial", saying that it would "bring about very good outcomes in terms of economy and development".巴基斯坦记者伊尔凡・阿什拉夫称此次天津峰会“至关重要”，他表示，峰会 “将在经济与发展领域产生十分积极的成果”。Noting the packed agenda of the summit, Ashraf said he was particularly eager to hear President Xi Jinping's keynote speeches, which he said he expects to outline China's new perspectives and measures to support the SCO's high-quality development and its role in all-around regional cooperation.阿什拉夫关注到峰会议程丰富紧凑，他特别期待聆听习近平主席的主旨演讲，希望从中了解中国为支持上合组织高质量发展、助力其在区域全方位合作中发挥作用而提出的新视角与新举措。Describing China's role in the SCO as "indispensable", he expressed confidence that its vision of peaceful development will continue to steer the organization.在他看来，中国在上合组织中扮演“不可或缺” 的角色，且坚信中国的和平发展愿景将持续引领该组织发展方向。Roman Ziskin, a Russian correspondent, said the SCO's mission of safeguarding security and promoting shared development requires strong cooperation among member states.俄罗斯记者罗曼・齐斯金指出，上合组织肩负维护安全、促进共同发展的使命，这一使命的实现离不开成员国间的紧密协作。"The fact that the organization is named after Shanghai itself demonstrates China's irreplaceable role," he said, adding that China's strength lies in its ability to engage in dialogue with multiple countries and put forward proposals that help advance the SCO's growth.“上合组织以‘上海'命名这一事实本身，就充分彰显了中国不可替代的作用。” 他补充道，中国的优势在于能够与多个国家开展对话，并提出切实可行的提案，为上合组织的发展注入动力。Ziskin expressed the hope that the summit will bring the world closer and help promote cooperation and stability.齐斯金希望此次峰会能拉近世界各国距离，进一步推动国际合作与全球稳定。French journalist Marie Louise Malnoy said she expects meaningful political consultations and new cooperation plans at the summit, especially a blueprint for the SCO's development in the next decade.法国记者玛丽・路易丝・马尔努瓦表示，期待峰会上能开展富有成效的政治磋商，达成新的合作计划，尤其希望看到上合组织未来十年发展蓝图的出台。Speaking on China's role in the world's most populous regional organization, Malnoy said that China's unwavering respect for international institutions and its clarity in terms of diplomacy and trade reinforces its position as a stabilizing force amid today's turbulent geopolitical climate.谈及中国在这一全球人口最多的区域组织中的作用，马尔努瓦提到，当前地缘政治局势动荡，而中国对国际机制的坚定尊重、在外交与贸易领域的清晰立场，使其成为维护稳定的重要力量。Megha Prasad, a journalist from India, hailed the SCO's growing influence, noting that the group formed by six founding members has now grown into a family of 26 countries from across Asia, Europe and Africa.印度记者梅加・普拉萨德对合组织影响力的持续提升表示赞赏。她介绍，上合组织最初由6 个创始成员国组成，如今已发展成为涵盖亚洲、欧洲、非洲三大洲 26 个国家的 “大家庭”。The SCO plays a pivotal role when it comes to building consensus on regional cooperation, she said, expressing her hope that the summit will deliver concrete results on counterterrorism and trade promotion.普拉萨德认为，上合组织在凝聚区域合作共识方面发挥核心作用，她期待峰会能在反恐合作与促进贸易发展两大领域取得实实在在的成果。Brazilian journalist Mauro Ramos Pintos called the SCO a vital platform for regional countries to address security concerns, particularly at a time when "some countries, such as the United States, are meddling in the internal affairs of others".Amid global turbulence, the SCO is well-positioned to respond to emerging threats, he added.巴西记者毛罗・拉莫斯・平托斯将上合组织视为区域各国应对安全关切的重要依托。他特别指出，在“美国等部分国家干涉他国内政” 的当下，上合组织的这一作用更显重要。平托斯补充道，面对全球局势的动荡，上合组织具备应对各类新兴威胁的有利条件，能为区域安全稳定提供有力保障。Christsent Ane Rokobuli, a journalist from Nauru, described the summit as "an eye-opener". Although Nauru is not a part of the SCO family, she said the organization is highly significant for her country.瑙鲁记者克里斯森特・安妮・罗科布利称此次峰会是“一次开阔眼界的经历”。尽管瑙鲁并非上合组织成员国，但她强调，该组织对瑙鲁而言具有重要意义。"My core expectation is to see how developing nations can unite and support one another, especially when tackling climate change," she said.“我的核心期待，是看到发展中国家如何团结互助，尤其是在应对气候变化这一全球性挑战上。”Rokobuli, who is visiting China for the first time, expressed her admiration for Tianjin Port's zero-emission status — a model she viewed as highly relevant for island nations in combating climate change."China is vast and diverse. I hope to see more of it," she added.罗科布利说，这是她首次到访中国，期间，天津港的“零排放” 运营模式让她印象深刻，她认为这一模式为海岛国家应对气候变化提供了极具价值的参考。“中国幅员辽阔、文化多样，我希望能有更多机会深入了解这个国家。” 她补充道。Russian journalist Maxim Al-Turi praised the organization of the summit and the media center's innovative features, especially its multilingual service robots."We spoke to them in Russian and they gave us answers, which was both interesting and helpful for our reporting," he said.俄罗斯记者马克西姆・阿勒图里对峰会的组织工作及媒体中心的创新设施给予高度评价，尤其认可多语言服务机器人的应用。“我们用俄语与机器人交流，它们能准确回应问题，这既有趣，又为我们的报道工作提供了不少便利。” 阿勒图里说。Safeguardv. 维护；保护；捍卫/ˈseɪfɡɑːd/indispensableadj.不可或缺的；必不可少的/ˌɪndɪˈspensəbl/pivotaladj.关键的；中枢的；起核心作用的/ˈpɪvətl/cooperationn.反恐；反恐怖主义（指打击恐怖主义的行动或政策）/ˌkaʊntəˈterərɪzəm/zero-emissionadj.零排放的（指不释放污染物或温室气体的）/ˌzɪərəʊ ɪˈmɪʃn/
