As part of the Radio 4 Fatherhood season, Clare McDonnell and her guests discuss the role of fatherhood in men's lives. Darren Harriott is a 37-year-old comedian and presenter of Father Figuring. Darren has now lived longer than his dad, who took his own life while in prison, and he is questioning would he be a good dad? What even makes a good dad? They are joined by Dr Robin Hadley who has written a book looking at why men, like himself, do not become fathers.In 2016 Natalie Queiroz was stabbed 24 times by her partner while she was eight months pregnant. He is currently nine years into an 18 year sentence for attempted murder and attempted child destruction. Natalie and her unborn daughter nearly died. Earlier this year she learned that changes by the Ministry of Justice meant that her attacker could be transferred to an open prison many years earlier than she had expected.  She's been campaigning against this but has recently learned his application for a transfer has been approved. Clare hears from Natalie and Ellie Butt from Refuge.Laura Mulvey, filmmaker and pioneering feminist theorist, first coined the term ‘the male gaze'. The British Film Institute's Fellowship is a pretty starry list – Bette Davis, Martin Scorsese, Judi Dench, Tilda Swinton, Christopher Nolan, Tom Cruise....to name a few and now Laura has been added to that prestigious list. Tomorrow Women's Super League Football will officially unveil Design Guidelines for the Delivery of Elite Women's Stadiums in England – a world first framework supporting clubs, local authorities, and architects in building or upgrading venues specifically for their women's teams. They say the rapid growth of the women's game has demonstrated that football venues, historically built and designed for male players and fans, need to be better equipped to cater towards the specific needs of female athletes and supporters. Hannah Buckley, Head of Infrastructure, Safety and Sustainability for WSL football and Suzy Wrack, women's football correspondent for the Guardian discuss.

Russia's Winter Strikes on Ukrainian Energy and the Battle for Pokrovsk. John Hardie discusses how Russia is escalating its winter campaign against Ukrainian energy infrastructure using a higher percentage of hard-to-intercept ballistic missiles and drones. This aims to break Ukrainian will and create leverage for negotiations. On the front, the battle for Pokrovsk is difficult, with Russians infiltrating the city and disrupting logistics using fiber-optic-controlled FPV drones. Although Ukraine has succeeded in attriting Russian forces there, preserving manpower by avoiding a late withdrawal remains a critical concern. 1855

What can the US learn from the benefits–and perils–of China's quest to engineer the future? Tech analyst and author Dan Wang joins Ian Bremmer on the GZERO World Podcast to discuss his new book "Breakneck," China's infrastructure boom, and the future of the US-China relationship. Over the last two decades, China has transformed into what Wang calls an “engineering state,” marshaling near unlimited resources to build almost anything–roads, bridges, entire cities overnight. That investment has created astounding growth, but also domestic challenges and soaring debt. It's also led to a stubborn belief within the Chinese government that society itself can be engineered from the top down, where the state treats its people like a building material that can be tweaked or destroyed if necessary. Wang and Bremmer dig into all things US-China: the future of the relationship, the surprising similarities between the two countries, and whether Washington can learn from Beijing's example without repeating its mistakes.Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Dan Wang Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

This episode presents an argument that recent, seemingly unrelated events are not mere random occurrences but are “coincidences with intentionality”. The speaker asserts that history itself is not objective but is a “proactive creation” managed by a central coordinating entity referred to as the Psyop Entertainment Complex.Summary of Key ConceptsThe discussion on intentional coincidences is set in the context of “newsbending” and “historybending”. The speaker contends that these events, known as Psyops (simulated/staged events), require planning in advance, thus proving that history is a deliberate construct.A major part of the discussion revolves around a recent plane crash event, which is presented as deeply integrated with other contemporaneous occurrences:9/11 Coding: The event is heavily “911 coded”. Examples include the flight number UPS 2976, which is “coincidentally” the number of 9/11 victims, and the updated casualty count: “The death toll has been updated. Nine dead, 11 injured. So to say that this isn't 911 coded is ridiculous.”.Contextual Alignments: The plane crash coincided with the death of Dick Cheney (referred to as the “architect of 9/11”) and the election of a Muslim mayor in New York, leading to fear-mongering and the widespread use of 9/11 imagery on social media.The Infrastructure of Fakery: For these elaborate, interconnected events to occur, the speaker argues that the media must be complicit, acting as part of the creative process rather than objective reporters. This directly challenges the mainstream notion that violence is real, leading to the fundamental assertion regarding Psyops : “The problem with that proposition is thatPsyops could only be accomplished if the media were in fact part of the creative process. actually producing it.”.Beyond Conspiracy: The speaker differentiates this analysis from typical conspiracy theories, which fall into the category of “MSM plus”. These traditional theories often operate under a “false dilemma”, assuming the event was real (either done by the mainstream villains or alternative scapegoats). The perspective offered here is that the event was fake, regardless of who is blamed: “The common framework for alternative was it's either real or it's real and somebody else did it. It's a false flag. So false flag theory and the mainstream present a false dilemma.”.The intent behind these intentional coincidences and layered Psyops is to shape the collective worldview and conform the public to a pre-existing narrative. The speaker summarizes the core point of the debate regarding the staged nature of events: “We agree these are coincidences. The question is, is it intentional well, if you say it's not intentional what is your basis for saying it's not intentional incredulity is not enough you can't just say well I find that personally hard to believe”.Ultimately, the entire world stage is viewed as a “collective Truman show”, where staged events, including the CK (Charlie Kirk) event, are scripted generational Psyops. Those who fail to acknowledge the premeditated nature of history and media manipulation are viewed as having an uninformed, “world stage centric” perspective: “If you're inside the box and you're questioning what we're saying about intentionality, that makes you a media advocate and you're questioning the devil's advocates.”.Five Quotes from the SourceOn Intentionality: “But you're saying it's a coincidence with no intentionality. And we're saying these are coincidences with intentionality.”On History Creation: “So just that alone tells you that the newsbending historybending events are planned in advance. Therefore our history is in fact a proactive creation.”On 9/11 Coding in the Crash: “The death toll has been updated. Nine dead, 11 injured. So to say that this isn't 911 coded is ridiculous.”On Media Complicity: “The problem with that proposition is that Psyops could only be accomplished if the media were in fact part of the creative process. actually producing it.”On the Distinction from False Flags: “The common framework for alternative was it's either real or it's real and somebody else did it. It's a false flag. So false flag theory and the mainstream present a false dilemma.”

Private markets are transforming the investment landscape — reshaping portfolios, expanding access, and driving growth across asset classes from private equity to infrastructure and private credit. Once the domain of institutions, private markets are increasingly accessible to individual investors, offering new ways to pursue diversification and long-term opportunity.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido is joined by Cameron Joyce, Head of Research Insights at Preqin, a part of BlackRock, to explore how private markets could reshape portfolios and investment opportunities by 2030. Cameron shares why the asset class has surged from $11 trillion pre-pandemic to an expected $32 trillion by the end of the decade — and what this evolution means for investors.Together they discuss how companies are staying private longer, why liquidity dynamics are shifting, and how new fund structures are widening accessibility for individuals and retirement savers alike. Cameron breaks down the three major growth engines powering the sector: private equity, infrastructure, and private credit — and explains how megaforces like AI and energy transition are creating new opportunities within each.Sources: “Private Markets in 2030” Preqin October 2025Key moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction to why Private Markets are having a moment now01:01 Understanding Private Markets - Why companies are staying private longer — and where the value creation is shifting.02:01 Growth and Trends in Private Markets - The forecasted $32 trillion in alternative AUM by 2030 and what it means for diversified portfolios.02:46 Impact on Investment Portfolios - The rise of individual access through open-ended fund structures.06:04 Where we are in the private equity cycle — and why lower fundraising periods often precede strong returns.09:56 Infrastructure Investment Opportunities - How infrastructure is becoming a key beneficiary of AI and reshoring trends.11:51 Why private credit and direct lending are gaining momentum as banks step back from traditional lending14:20 Artificial Intelligence in Private Markets - How AI is influencing value creation within privately backed companies.16:40 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsCheck out this Spotify playlist for more content on alternative investing: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4Fe8VwKyG5FPYekFFSksbI

Send us a textStart with a simple truth: when the platform breaks, your clever architecture won't save you. We dig into the AWS US‑East‑1 outage where DynamoDB's role in DNS planning for load balancers collided with a race condition, leaving empty records and stalled EC2 instances. Forget the finger‑wagging about “well‑architected” apps—this was a platform failure with limited customer escape routes. We weigh multi‑region and multi‑cloud trade‑offs with a sober look at cost, complexity, and operational burden.Security took center stage with two high‑risk stories you need to act on. First, a critical WSUS flaw enabling remote unauthenticated code execution against the very servers meant to protect fleets. If WSUS is still live, patch immediately or take it offline until you can. Then, the F5 source code theft: not a cloning threat, but a blueprint for discovering subtle bugs and crafting precise exploits. Attribution points toward Chinese state‑sponsored actors, which means targeted, quiet use rather than noisy mass exploitation. The risk isn't gone when headlines fade; it's just harder to see.We connect this to rising exploitation of vSock across hypervisors like VMware ESXi. With public PoCs and active abuse, vSock opens covert channels from host to guest, making segmentation and management plane isolation non‑negotiable. Patch aggressively, gate access through jump hosts, enforce MFA, and consider disabling vSock where viable on QEMU stacks. These are concrete steps that cut real risk.Then we turn to the elephant in the data center: AI ROI. Vendors keep shipping agentic assistants and copilots, but few can show durable returns outside a subsidized token economy. We share a pragmatic lens for measuring value—cycle time, MTTR, defect rates—while acknowledging the dot‑com‑style arc ahead: hype, correction, then durable wins that prioritize efficiency. As AI demand drives massive new builds, the physical footprint of the cloud is showing up in local power grids and skylines. Infrastructure choices now carry community and energy implications leaders can't ignore.Subscribe, share with a colleague who owns platform reliability or security, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway or question—what will you patch, segment, or measure first?Purchase Chris and Tim's book on AWS Cloud Networking: https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Advanced-Networking-Certification-certification/dp/1835080839/ Check out the Monthly Cloud Networking Newshttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1fkBWCGwXDUX9OfZ9_MvSVup8tJJzJeqrauaE6VPT2b0/Visit our website and subscribe: https://www.cables2clouds.com/Follow us on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/cables2clouds.comFollow us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cables2clouds/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cables2cloudsMerch Store: https://store.cables2clouds.com/Join the Discord Study group: https://artofneteng.com/iaatj

Is AI infrastructure the next great buildout — or the next bubble waiting to burst?In this episode, Jake Corley (@jacobcorley) and Justin Ballard (@JLB_Oso) break down what might be the largest capital migration in modern history — the trillion-dollar rush to build data centers, generation, and power infrastructure for AI.From Fermi America's $13B IPO to Crusoe's $10B valuation, from China's 40-GW dams to America's permitting gridlock — this one connects the dots between energy, compute, and capital.We explore: ⚡ The $250B+ pouring into AI infrastructure this year ⚡ How off-grid power and natural gas are reshaping the landscape ⚡ Whether the boom is sustainable — or headed for a shakeout ⚡ Why China's generation advantage could reshape the AI arms race ⚡ The fusion of AI, Power, and Bitcoin — and what it means for the next decadeIt's AI x Power x Bitcoin — and the lines are blurring fast.

Land isn't just dirt under buildings—it's the world's oldest, strangest asset, worth an estimated $180T, quietly steering credit cycles, politics, and who gets to build the future. Economist editor and Money Talks host Mike Bird joins us to decode the “land trap”: why superstar cities underbuild, how mortgages turned banks into land-collateral machines, and what Japan's 1980s super-bubble can (and can't) teach us about China's managed deflation today. We trace ownership from Babylonian stone ledgers to modern cadastres, ask whether America ever ran a de facto “land standard,” and explore pragmatic exits: build where demand is, deepen capital markets so homes aren't the only savings vehicle, and tax land value uplift to fund infrastructure. ---

Latin America is in the middle of a powerful hotel development surge, particularly in luxury and resort properties — and the numbers tell a compelling story. In this episode, Glenn Haussman talks with Bruce Ford of Lodging Econometrics about the real data driving expansion in Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America — and why developers, brands, and third-party operators are racing to scale in the region. We dig into: 300+ hotels now under construction Why luxury leads — and why it's different than the U.S. Riviera Maya + DR + Mexico City as development engines Residential components & eco-resorts gaining traction Infrastructure's long-term role (yes, including Mexico's new rail) Caribbean hurricane recovery patterns vs. U.S. mainland Third-party management growth in luxury — big shift What's tracking toward 2027 and beyond  Whether you're analyzing global trends or scouting your next international opportunity, this breakdown matters. 

Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein did not operate in isolation—they relied on a network. Their crimes were made possible by a web of enablers, facilitators, fixers, and bystanders who either helped directly or looked the other way. From private pilots to personal assistants, house managers to recruiters, there were people in their orbit who scheduled, transported, housed, and in some cases, groomed young girls for abuse. These weren't random helpers—they were staff, associates, and colleagues who made Epstein and Maxwell's operation function like a well-oiled machine. Yet, most of them have never faced a single charge. Their silence, compliance, and active participation were just as essential as the actions of Epstein and Maxwell themselves.Equally complicit were the institutions that protected them. Wealth managers, elite schools, banks, law firms, and even prosecutors played roles—some by omission, others by design. Doors opened for Epstein and Maxwell that would have slammed shut on anyone without money and connections. Social circles embraced them long after rumors had become accusations, and long after accusations had become evidence. And still, they were given platforms, invitations, and cover. This wasn't a case of two people fooling the world—it was a case of the world choosing not to care. The myth of the “lone predator” serves power well, but the truth is always more uncomfortable: predators thrive in systems that help them.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10332169/Underage-orgies-possible-pregnancy-key-moments-Ghislaine-Maxwells-sensational-trial.html

Jordan Tigani, CEO and cofounder of MotherDuck, knows what world class infrastructure looks like. He spent years building Google BigQuery before taking those lessons into the startup world. In this episode, he breaks down why building infrastructure products is fundamentally different from typical SaaS and why founders who don't understand that difference are in for a painful surprise.What You'll LearnThere are no shortcuts in infrastructure. You can't just wire together existing open source components and call it a product. Real infrastructure requires contributing meaningfully to the state of the art, and that takes time, money, and deeper technical investment than most founders expect.Starting with startups, not enterprises, is often the smarter play. Early stage infrastructure companies should target other startups first because they're more comfortable with bleeding edge tech, have lower security barriers, and won't force you to spend three engineers building custom auth instead of your actual product.Scaling down is the new scaling up. Jordan saw pressure at SingleStore to make databases smaller and more efficient, not just bigger. That insight led to MotherDuck, which is built on DuckDB—a database that can run in a car, scale to massive cloud instances, and challenge the coordination overhead of legacy distributed systems.Bottoms up engineering cultures win in infrastructure. At BigQuery, engineers close to customer problems could ship fast and independently. Jordan's recreating that at MotherDuck by removing layers between engineers and customers, because creative problem solving requires understanding business constraints, not just technical ones.Convincing people you can scale is half the battle. The best proof is customers who look like your next target and can vouch for you. Next best is real data and benchmarks. If you don't have those yet, lean on implementation support and help prospects test at scale themselves. Early on, sometimes all you have is your word.Timestamped Highlights[01:22] Why infrastructure takes longer to build than typical SaaS products and why there's no shallow way to do it[06:57] The MVP dilemma: finding product market fit when enterprises demand reliability from day one[11:44] Lessons from BigQuery and SingleStore—what to carry over from big tech and what to leave behind[21:21] The gap in the market that led to MotherDuck: why distributed databases don't scale down and why that matters now[26:10] Redefining scale: why 100 users on one giant instance isn't necessarily better than 100 auto scaling individual instances[29:08] The hierarchy of proof: from customer testimonials to benchmarks to trust me, it'll workA Line to Remember“If you really want to build an infrastructure product, you can't just string existing components together. You actually have to contribute meaningfully to improving the state of the art.”Stay ConnectedIf this breakdown of infrastructure startups resonated with you, subscribe so you don't miss future episodes.

Ed, co-founder of SASSI (Southerners Against Surveillance Systems & Infrastructure), speaks to The Final Straw Radio about the proliferation of surveillance infrastructure in the South (and more broadly in United States). We speak about topics such as the increasing cooperation between the state and corporate surveillance companies, the desire of these companies to extract ever-increasing amounts of data from the public, the way the state uses private databases to sidestep traditional warrant processes, some of the specific technologies that cities in the south have contracts with and their efficacy. We also touch on how folks at SASSI investigate these topics, and what can be done to help with this effort and ways to think about individual and community safety. https://www.sassisouth.org/ https://www.muckrock.com/ Also of interest to listeners may be our prior episode, Pushing Back On Flock Cameras with Kate Bertash, which Ed references during the chat.
