Cardinal Robert Prevost made history earlier this year, when he became the first American pontiff to lead the Catholic Church. And when he stepped out onto the balcony of St Peter's Basilica as Pope Leo XIV, dressed in traditional papal robes, some conservatives in the church took it as a sign of a symbolic shift away from what they saw as the liberal drift of his predecessor the late Pope Francis. Francis, who had put social justice at the heart of his papacy, divided opinion. Some Catholics praised his stance on issues like same-sex blessings, whilst others claimed that he had abandoned tradition for wokeness. Now six months into his papacy, Pope Leo XIV is also coming under similar scrutiny, he's already been criticized by some Catholics from the Make America Great Again (Maga) movement in the United States for blessing a block of Greenland ice. Whilst on the issue of same-sex blessings, his stated intention is to continue the same course as Pope Francis, that the Church's teaching is not going to change on this issue.But though he may also be advocating diversity, equity and inclusion, Pope Leo XIV may not necessarily be a carbon copy of his predecessor. As he prepares for his first apostolic visit to Turkey and Lebanon, Pope Leo XIV already appears to be charting a more nuanced path, grounded in pastoral instincts rather than divisive politics. So, on The Inquiry this week we're asking, ‘Is the new Pope woke?'Contributors: Dr Massimo Faggioli, Professor in Ecclesiology, Loyola Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Inés San Martín, Vice President of Communications, The Pontifical Mission Societies, New York, USA Christopher White, Author ‘Pope Leo XIV: Inside the Conclave and the Dawn of New Papacy', Associate Director, Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life, Georgetown University, Washington DC, USA Elise Ann Allen, Senior Correspondent for Crux, Author ‘Leo XIV: Citizen of the World, Missionary of the 21st Century', Rome, Italy Presenter: William Crawley Producer: Jill Collins Researcher: Maeve Schaffer Production Management Assistant: Liam Morrey Technical Producer: Craig Boardman Editor: Tom Bigwood(Photo: Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican in May 2025.

The latest episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicks off with a blockbuster—21 Savage has partnered with the Bob & Rita Marley Foundation to launch a 48-hour match campaign dubbed “One Love, One Heart, One Voice,” mobilizing relief for Jamaica in the wake of Hurricane Melissa and committing his Leading by Example Foundation to double every dollar donated. On the celebrity front, drama is brewing as Cardi B gives birth to her fourth child with NFL star Stefon Diggs. Her ex-husband Offset posted and swiftly deleted a message claiming “my kid lol,” sparking backlash and concerns from Cardi about threats to her safety. The episode closes on a serious policy tone: the U.S. House of Representatives is poised to vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a measure forcing release of long-withheld files related to Jeffrey Epstein. The vote comes after President Donald Trump unexpectedly endorsed the move and triggered procedural momentum. From international charity to paternity drama, media shake-ups, and congressional reckoning—all this episode serves up culture, family attention and social justice in equal measure.

With the absolutely massive amounts of money tied up in the AI data centre boom, it's not hard to see why people fear a bubble. That worry has come into sharper focus in recent weeks, following comments from OpenAI and some big moves on the stock market.This recent round of bubble fear isn't about the tech itself. Rather, it's a growing realization that the boom is being funded in a way that's starting to resemble some historically devastating bubbles of the past.Paul Kedrosky is a partner at the venture capital firm SK Ventures and a research fellow at MIT's Initiative for the Digital Economy. He explains why changes in the AI boom's financing are renewing fears of a bubble bursting, and the massive potential impacts if it does.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

As we roll into the end of 2025, Xbox feels like it's in the weirdest place it's ever been.In this episode of Game Pass or Pass, we sit down and talk through the massive shift Microsoft made at the start of October 2025: the full Xbox Game Pass revamp with new tiers (Essential, Premium, and Ultimate), the 50% price hike on Ultimate to $29.99/month, the jump in PC Game Pass pricing, and the confusing split between day-one releases on Ultimate versus “within a year” access on other tiers. We break down what each tier actually gets you now, how that compares to just a couple of years ago, and why the current structure feels so wild and hard to message to normal players. We also dig into the broader context that got Xbox here: another major round of layoffs, around 9,000 jobs across Microsoft with thousands tied to Xbox; the closure of The Initiative; and the cancellation of high-profile first-party projects like Perfect Dark and Everwild, plus heavy cuts at Turn 10 and other studios. We talk honestly about how all of that undercuts the “we care about creators” messaging, and how it collides with Microsoft's push toward a more PC-centric, multi-platform strategy where Xbox games show up on PlayStation, Switch, and Windows as services rather than true console exclusives. From there, we zoom out and look at where Game Pass sits going into 2026:Is Ultimate still worth the money after the price hikes and restructuring? PC Gamer+1Does the new tier setup actually give players “more choice,” or just more confusion? What does Game Pass look like in a world where Microsoft is clearly prioritizing Windows, cloud, and publishing on competing hardware over building a strong console identity?We close the episode by looking across the aisle at PlayStation's future hardware plans. Sony's CFO is now on record saying PS5 is only “in the middle of its journey,” while leaks and reporting continue to point toward a PlayStation 6 sometime in the later part of this decade and a Switch-style PS6 handheld that's designed around backward compatibility with PS4 and PS5 titles. We talk about what a PS6 and PS6 handheld could mean for Xbox's next console, and whether Microsoft's current moves put them in a better place for that fight—or a weaker one. By the end of it, we're asking a simple question with a messy answer: Is Game Pass still the best deal in gaming, or is Microsoft burning a lot of goodwill right as the next generation starts to come into view?

10 Euro im Monat für jedes Schulkind – das soll mit der neuen Frühstartrente Realität werden. Die Bundesregierung plant damit ein Modell, das Eltern frühzeitig beim Sparen für die Altersvorsorge ihrer Kinder unterstützt. In dieser Schwungmasse-Folge spricht Alicia mit Swetlana, der Leiterin der Initiative finanz-heldinnen, darüber, was genau hinter dem Konzept steckt, welche offenen Fragen es noch gibt und wie Eltern sich schon jetzt vorbereiten können. Neben den gesetzlichen Neuerungen geht es auch um ganz praktische Fragen: Welche Anlageformen eignen sich für Kinder? Wann ist der richtige Zeitpunkt, um zu starten? Und wie lässt sich finanzielle Bildung in der Familie leben? Swetlana teilt zudem persönliche Einblicke, wie sie für ihren Sohn investiert hat und was ihr wichtig war, um ihm einen guten Start in die finanzielle Eigenständigkeit zu ermöglichen. Ein Gespräch voller Wissen, Klarheit und Motivation für alle, die ihren Kindern finanzielle Chancen mitgeben wollen.

Im Dezember 2026 soll die 13. AHV-Rente erstmals ausbezahlt werden. Doch die Frage der Finanzierung bleibt offen. Zur Debatte stehen eine höhere Mehrwertsteuer, zusätzliche Lohnbeiträge, aber auch eine Erhöhung des Rentenalters. Welche Lösung wird sich durchsetzen? Die Frage nach der Zukunft der Renten sorgt für hitzige Diskussionen im Parlament. Während sich der Ständerat für eine Mischform zwischen zusätzlichen Lohnbeiträgen und einer höheren Mehrwertsteuer ausgesprochen hat, setzte sich im Nationalrat eine befristete Mehrwertsteuererhöhung durch. Für die Bürgerlichen ist klar; auch über eine Erhöhung des Rentenalters muss diskutiert werden. Nun ist der Ständerat wieder an der Reihe. Welche Form der Finanzierung ist gerecht und nachhaltig? Abschaffung des Ehepaar-Plafonds Neben der Finanzierung der 13. AHV-Renten gibt auch die Initiative der Mitte zur Plafonierung der Ehepaar-Renten zu reden. Laut der Mitte sollen beide Ehepartner je eine volle AHV-Rente beziehen können und nicht wie bisher gemeinsam höchstens 150 Prozent des Maximalbetrags. Das diskriminiere Ehepaare in der AHV. Der Nationalrat findet, wenn die Ehepaar-Renten steigen sollen, dann müssten auch die Privilegien der Verheirateten abgebaut werden. Konkret geht es um die Witwenrente. Welche Lösung ist fair? Zu diesen Fragen begrüsst Mario Grossniklaus am 14. November 2025 in der «Arena»: – Flavia Wasserfallen, Ständerätin SP/BE; – Regine Sauter, Nationalrätin FDP/ZH; – Kathrin Bertschy, Nationalrätin GLP/BE; und – Karin Stadelmann, Mitglied Parteipräsidium Die Mitte.

Die Initiative "Zämme in Europa" ist am Donnerstag Thema im Landrat. Die Regierung lehnt die Initiative ab, die zuständige Kommission sprach sich dafür aus. Ausserdem: · Kein Mindestlohn für Basler Lernende

Der Baselbieter Landrat hat sich am Donnerstag mit 46 zu 32 Stimmen bei drei Enthaltungen für die Annahme der Initiative "Zämme in Europa" ausgesprochen.

Damit das Zürcher Steueramt den Wohnsitz einer Person bestimmen kann, fordert es sehr viele, teils persönliche Daten. In Medienberichten wurde das Zürcher Steueramt kürzlich dafür kritisiert und auch die Datenschützerin hat Bedenken dazu geäussert. Nun nimmt Finanzvorsteher Ernst Stocker Stellung. Weitere Themen: · Die Stadt Zürich zählt 5320 Businessapartments, deutlich mehr als noch 2020. Auch die Zahl der Zweitwohnungen ist gestiegen. · Der Zürcher Regierungsrat will Förderklassen einführen. Danmit setzt er eine Initiative von FDP und GLP um.

Die Stasi-Vorwürfe gegen die Steuerbehörde seien völlig übertrieben. Regierungsrat Ernst Stocker verteidigt das Vorgehen des Zürcher Steueramts. Es sei legitim, dass dieses private Akten einfordere. Weitere Themen: · Teure Business-Appartements statt günstige Wohnungen: In der Stadt Zürich hat die Zahl der teuren kleinen Wohnungen in den letzten Jahren um mehr als 50 Prozent zugenommen. · Der Zürcher Regierungsrat will Förderklassen ermöglichen. · Das ehemalige Zürcher Arbeiterquartier Aussersihl soll ab 2027 ein eigenes Gymnasium erhalten, bis jetzt war es eine Filiale der Kantonsschule Wiedikon. · Die Polizeigewerkschaft fordert mehr Polizistinnen und Polizisten im Kanton Schaffhausen mit einer Volksmotion. · Abstimmungsvorschau zur Initiative für eine «Digitale Integrität». · Ausstellung zu 45 Jahren Jugendunruhen in der Photobastei. · Der Zukunftstag für Schülerinnen und Schüler bei SRF: eine Reportage.

Glenn Wiggle, Mike Hoeflich, and Mike Sperrazza dive into the real fallout of Washington's latest government shutdown—and the hypocrisy behind politicians still cashing paychecks while everyday Americans go without. From bloated regulations driving up healthcare costs to the failures of Obamacare, the hosts call out both parties for their inaction and lack of leadership. They break down how excessive government control has crippled competition, inflated costs, and hurt working Americans, arguing for a return to smaller government, personal responsibility, and common sense. Plus, a no-holds-barred discussion on welfare reform, accountability in Congress, and why the GOP must finally deliver.(00:02:15) Impact of Government Shutdown on Individuals and Politicians(00:11:58) Impact of Regulations on Healthcare Accessibility and Costs(00:14:22) Healthcare Overhaul: Promoting Competition and Efficiency(00:24:28) Effective Legislators: Leading for Progress(00:26:37) Republican Party's Lack of Initiative and Action(00:30:24) Republican Party's Urgency for Accountability and Prosecution(00:34:29) State-Level Enforcement of Welfare to Work

It is an honor to sit down with retired Phoenix PD Detective Janicik EdD to discuss her life, career and a topic we cannot have enough education on, crimes against women. We will talk about how she turned personal tragedy into protecting women by raising awareness and educating on how these predators work and target women. Through her work in research, academia, and professional training, Cindy supports police agencies throughout the nation and internationally. A selection of collaborations she finds the most meaningful include: training the delegation of leaders from the Indonesian National Police Force on developing an effective, distance learning training model; serving as an expert on the 30x30 Initiative; supporting the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives through academic writing, educational pathways, and research; and assessing police agency practices in the areas of recruitment, hiring, and retention of sworn and professional staff personnel. Cindy holds a Bachelor's degree in Organizational Communications and a Master's degree in Criminal Justice from Arizona State University, and a Master's degree in Educational Leadership and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership, with an emphasis in Criminal Justice, from Northern Arizona University.

Tell us what you think of the show! Ready or not, electric vehicle adoption is happening in America. It feels like we've reached an inflection point- especially as range increases, EVs are simply proving to be a better mousetrap- and now there's a race coast-to-coast to bulk up the charging infrastructure needed to enable the scaling of fleets and longhaul trucking. That's no easy thing to figure out- developers must work closely with utilities to bring these power-sucking sites online without overworking the local grid. And since everyone needs power YESTERDAY, there's a timeliness component to this too- and we all know time means money.The Electric Power Research Institute, better known as EPRI, is taking on the challenge of connecting the dots and facilitating a planning process for the deployment of EV charging projects.On this episode, Factor This Content Director Paul Gerke is joined by EPRI director of transportation Britta Gross to discuss GridFAST, a central, secure portal designed to improve communication between stakeholders, bringing them together early on to ensure everyone gets what they want, when they want it- or as close to it as possible.Want to make a suggestion for This Week in Cleantech?

On October 30, US President Trump and China's leader Xi Jinping met in Busan, South Korea. It was their first face-to-face meeting in 6 years. There was a lot at stake in this meeting for the US and China, as well as for the rest of the world. In my view, the outcome is best described as a fragile truce. The path forward for US-China relations remains uncertain – greater stability and predictability is possible, but not assured. Intense competition across several domains, especially technology, is likely.Today's episode focuses on the Trump-Xi summit and the future of US-China relations, featuring Mr. Dennis Wilder. Dennis is a senior fellow for the Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues at Georgetown University, where he previously served as the managing director, and assistant professor of the practice in Asian studies in the School of Foreign Service. He served on President George W. Bush's NSC first as director for China and then as senior director for Asian Affairs.

Die deutsche Industrie steckt in einer schweren Krise: Seit 2018 gehen kontinuierlich Arbeitsplätze verloren, inzwischen fallen jeden Montag etwa 10.000 Stellen weg. Viele Unternehmen liebäugeln offen mit dem Abschied aus Deutschland. Sie beklagen einen tödlichen Cocktail aus erdrückender Bürokratie, hohen Energie- und Lohnnebenkosten.Lässt sich der Abwärtstrend stoppen? Darüber diskutieren Claudia Kemfert, Sabine Nallinger und Sepp Müller in dieser Live-Ausgabe des "Klima-Labors": Was bringt ein Industriestrompreis? Ist bezahlbarer grüner Wasserstoff realisierbar oder eine Fantasie? Müssen wir der Industrie zuliebe zum russischen Gas zurückkehren? Muss der Staat bei wichtigen Unternehmen einsteigen? Hilft letztlich doch nur der Kahlschlag beim Klimaschutz?Die Gäste:Claudia Kemfert, Professorin für Energiewirtschaft und Energiepolitik an der Leuphana Universität in Lüneburg und Leiterin der Abteilung Energie, Verkehr, Umwelt am DIW.Sabine Nallinger, Vorständin der Stiftung Klimawirtschaft in Berlin. Die Stiftung ist eine Initiative von Vorstandsvorsitzenden, Geschäftsführern und Familienunternehmern, um sektor- und branchenübergreifend Klimaschutz und Nachhaltigkeit für eine erfolgreiche deutsche Industrie zu fördern.Sepp Müller, stellvertretender Fraktionschef von CDU/CSU im Bundestag sowie Fraktionssprecher für Wirtschaft und Energie.Moderation?

Vor kurzem ist die Schweiz zwar zur Weltmeisterin im digitalen Denken gekürt worden, bei der Umsetzung hapert es allerdings. Dass die Schweiz sich mit der digitalen Transformation schwer tut, zeigte zuletzt die E-ID, die nur ein hauchdünnes Ja der Stimmberechtigten erhielt. Warum ist das so? Weitere Themen: Weil Superreiche das Klima stark belasten, sollen sie mit einer Erbschaftssteuer den Klimaschutz finanzieren. So die Idee der sogenannten Initiative für eine Zukunft der Jungsozialisten. Parlament und Bundesrat sind dagegen. Es brauche keine zusätzlichen Mittel zur Finanzierung der Klimapolitik. Das grösste Auslandprojekt des Flughafens Zürich befindet sich in Indien, südlich der Hauptstadt Delhi. Dort wird bald der «Noida International Airport» eröffnet. Tausende Familien mussten wegen des Projekts umgesiedelt werden. Ausserdem gab es Kritik von Umweltschützern.

Government-backed not-for-profit Business For Biodiversity Ireland has opened up its membership for 2026 to Irish businesses now and said there is no time to lose for the private sector to start factoring nature into decision-making to maintain a sustainable society and economy for Ireland. BFBI is partnering with global experts Business For Nature, Deloitte WorldClimate and KPMG Sustainable Futures Teams as they deliver a Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme, including an online information hub, step-by-step guidance and workshops to help Irish businesses of every size and sector to be prepared and understand the steps they should be taking regarding nature-related risk. Nature initiative for Irish businesses to boost biodiversity BFBI Executive Director Dr Maria Fitzpatrick said: "It is clear that 'business as usual' is not an option anymore, as the 2025 WWF Global Risks Report warns, four of the top 10 risks in the 10-year forecast are environment-related risks. With our Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme, we support our members to understand the risks ahead, build resilience in the face of those challenges and find ways to adapt to what's in store." BFBI offers expert guidance and peer support, with long-term members including Bank of Ireland, Iarnród Éireann/Irish Rail, ESB and SAP Landscapes involved since soon after BFBI's founding in 2021, with seed-funding support from National Parks and Wildlife Services and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. "Their feedback as they navigate the evolving sustainability reporting landscape has helped shape the BFBI Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme which incorporates international best practice, leading science-based frameworks and updates to help businesses to stay abreast of ESG regulation. "The members currently in our Strategy Track have been working closely with us since close to our inception and have been developing and honing their Nature Strategy and feeding back to us in workshops about the challenges and opportunities involved in navigating stakeholder engagement, environmental reporting and monitoring and assessment of their biodiversity actions in an ongoing, iterative process. Their testimonials feature on our website and our new brochure, available at businessforbiodiversity.ie" Many more businesses are joining each year, and BFBI has been undertaking research and educational collaborations with Irish institutions including Trinity College Dublin and Bord Iascaigh Mhara, and fellow initiatives including Horizon Nua and Go Nature Positive, and now various local authorities as they lead the movement to a Nature Positive Economy for Ireland. Maria adds: "We are collaborating on an upcoming free webinar with Waterford City & County Council. The overall aim of all our work is to support businesses in the move to a Nature Positive Economy for Ireland. This is a concept that emerged as a global goal, via a collaborative forum of business and nature institutions of which BFBI is a member, which aims to ensure, put simply, more nature in the world in 2030 than in 2020 and continued recovery after that. We advocate for ensuring that all of our economic and policy decisions are made with this goal in mind." BFBI has also collaborated with National Parks and Wildlife Services on the Biodiversity Duty for Public Bodies - a guidance document on how to assess and report on their biodiversity impacts and actions, launched earlier this year by Minister for Nature Christopher O'Sullivan, Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage. What is the Business For Biodiversity Ireland Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme? The Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme consists of four stages to progress through at the businesses' own pace. Discovery Track: The free introductory 10-step Discovery Track is a great way to swiftly learn how to make the business case for nature with access to online resources and webinars.

Send us a textLibby Roderick is a singer, songwriter, and recording artist, who was born in Anchorage just before statehood. Her father Jack Roderick was the last mayor of the borough of Anchorage prior to the unification of the municipality in 1975. Libby recorded her first album in 1990 which included the song, “How could Anyone,” which has been featured on CNN, CBS, and the Associated Press. Her music has been featured at the U.N. Conference on Women, with Coretta Scott King and Walter Cronkite in Washington D.C., and played on Mars by NASA. Libby has also been the director of the University of Alaska Anchorage's Difficult Dialogues Initiative since 2006; through that initiative she has helped reinforce and protect civil discourse at centers of higher learning and beyond. According to former UAA Chancellor and governor of Alaska Sean Parnell: “Libby's work is a critical keystone in the university's service to students and to Alaska. The democracy-threatening polarization of the American public, social media's influence on our inability to find common ground, and the difficult but necessary discussions related to human dignity and educational access have combined to maker her leadership paramount to meeting the mission to the university.” 

Die Erbschaftssteuer-Initaitive der Juso zielt auf die Reichsten im Land: Sie sollen auf Vermögen über 50 Millionen Franken 50 Prozent Erbschaftssteuern zahlen. Das Geld soll in den Klimaschutz fliessen. Ist das nur fair - oder eine Enteignung? Die Debatte. Für den SP-Vizepräsidenten David Roth sind die 50 Prozent Erbschaftssteuern auf Vermögen über 50 Millionen Franken nur fair: Schliesslich seien Superreiche massgeblich für den Klimawandel verantwortlich. Die Initiative entspreche somit dem Verursacherprinzip. Ganz anders sieht dies SVP-Nationalrätin Diana Gutjahr: Gerade Vermögende würden in den Klimaschutz investieren. Zudem zahle das reichste Prozent der Bevölkerung bereits heute die Hälfte aller Vermögenssteuern und über 40 Prozent der Bundessteuern. Uneinig sind sich die Beiden auch bei den Folgen der Initiative. Während Diana Gutjahr einen Wegzug der meisten Betroffenen prophezeit, spricht David Roth von Panikmache: Vermögende hätten Verbindungen zur Schweiz und würden nicht einfach wegziehen. Überdies verlange die Initiative Massnahmen gegen Steuervermeidung durch Wegziehen. Die SRF-Abstimmungskontroverse moderiert Dominik Meier.

Welcome to the launch of the "Establish Initiative," a vision to move the church from a planting phase to becoming a rooted, multiplying multi-ethnic movement of disciples in the city, with a goal to raise $500,000 by the end of 2025. This week, Carlos Lollett stresses the principle that true generosity comes from a heart of sacrifice, not surplus, drawing heavily on the biblical account of The Widow's Mite where Jesus valued her small, sacrificial offering more than the large sums given from the rich's abundance.

The initiative has been spearheaded by Ei Electronics' Head of Sustainability and Electronics Bill Doran who has a background in finding local partners for repurposing and recycling company waste. Shannon Chamber CEO Helen Downes says companies can benefit from resources which others no longer have use for.

As the prospect of import tariffs and drug price reform marshals billions of biopharma investment dollars into the U.S., the feasibility of rapid domestic manufacturing buildouts could hinge on a new program cooking at the FDA. How that program, dubbed PreCheck, will work in practice—and on what timeline—are key questions as the U.S. looks to bolster its local pharmaceutical production base. This week on “The Top Line,” we dive into comments from a recent public meeting on the industry’s hopes for PreCheck, which is being designed to streamline the process by which new biopharma manufacturing facilities are built in the U.S. Fierce Pharma’s Fraiser Kansteiner sits down with Christopher Shilling, chief regulatory officer at gene therapy CDMO Forge Biologics—who attended the meeting—to offer an on-the-ground perspective and explore the aspects of the plan that could have the biggest impact on manufacturers. Shilling also outlines what he sees as FDA’s next steps, plus regulatory considerations that could most benefit CDMOs and the broader industry.
