‘When it comes to humanitarian crisis, we should not allow children's future to be subject to geopolitics. We can't say that there are politically compulsions as a result of which we are allowing children to die of starvation. We can't say there are political compulsions because of which we are allowing children to die of want of medical aid. So the request before the Security Council was this. Cannot all countries agree on the minimum norms of humanitarian aid?'Jugal Purohit speaks to Srinivasan Muralidhar, a lawyer turned judge in India for over four decades, in November 2025, he was appointed by the UN to lead an independent International Commission of Inquiry on the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel.The commission examined alleged Israeli violations against Palestinian children from the beginning of Israel's war on Gaza in October 2023 to October 2025. In June 2026 it published its 94-page report. Israel did not cooperate or provide information to the commission. It rejected the report and disputed its conclusions after publication.The report found that Israel had deliberately targeted Palestinian children, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza Strip, as well as war crimes in the occupied West Bank.Srinivasan Muralidhar talks about how the commission documented and verified the evidence of violations against children, the challenges it faced in establishing the facts, and the key conclusions it reached in its report.

The government's COVID-19 inquiry recently returned a series of recommendations around New Zealand's preparations for future pandemics. While the government accepted the vast majority of these recommendations, there are concerns about the implementation, especially as the pandemic and its management have become a topic of significant political polarisation.  To discuss the inquiry and how politics is influencing our disease management, News Director Castor spoke to Professor of Public Health Michael Baker.

If anyone tells you today that they believe all this talk about the government being more transparent when the next pandemic hits, just put it down to a bit of the old Covid brain. And, if you find yourself believing it, just tell yourself too that that's what it is and that it will eventually wear off and you'll come to your senses. Because are we really expected to believe this? So, what's happened, is the government has released its response to the Covid-19 Royal Commission of Inquiry. The inquiry which made 63 recommendations. All of which have been accepted by the government in some way, shape or form. With Health Minister Simeon Brown saying that a key thing is going to be rebuilding New Zealanders' trust. After the way things went during Covid. Which is why he's saying that, next time, any key advice used by the government to make decisions which affect our individual rights will be made public within five working days. Which sounds great, doesn't it? But don't think for a minute that that will mean you and I knowing more and understanding things more. Because, for starters, while the current lot might think this should happen. There's no guarantee any future government will think the same. Can you imagine Labour, for example, signing up to this? They're not going to make this any sort of legal or constitutional requirement. It's just what the current government says, in an ideal world, should happen. And has its fingers crossed that another crowd in government would feel the same. Also, what Simeon Brown isn't telling us, is the level of detail the government of the day would share with us. Within five working days. There's a big difference between releasing information that is useful and enlightening and releasing information just because you said you'd release information.

Parliament's Impeachment Committee is appealing a Western Cape High Court judgment that halted its inquiry into President Cyril Ramaphosa. The court ruling restricts the Committee to preparatory work and bans public hearings until a judicial review in September. Some political analysts have backed the appeal, while opposition parties are challenging the matter in the Constitutional Court. Parliamentary legal services are currently assessing the impact of this delay on the Committee's constitutional mandate. We spoke to FF Plus Leader, Dr. Corné Mulder.

There has been mixed reaction to the government's response to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Covid-19 response, with NZ First calling it "pathetic" and Labour calling it a distraction. But the government has accepted "in some form" all of the 63 recommendations, promising key advice will be made public within five working days in future pandemics. Political reporter Lillian Hanly has more.

Transparency and stronger legislation are among the two key priorities in the Government's response to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Covid-19. Released today, it says all 63 recommendations have been accepted in some form, but some only partially. Health Minister Simeon Brown spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

The Health Minister says the Government's setting an expectation of accountability in its response to the Covid inquiry. It's promising to in future release information around major decisions within five working days and has already proactively released advice from the Covid vaccine advisory group. Simeon Brown has committed to reviewing the Health Act, so any future pandemic response balances the protection of public health, the economy, and New Zealanders' rights. He told Mike Hosking transparency should be core to any future response to maintain public trust. Brown is also rejecting claims the Inquiry could be wasted time if the Government changes after the election. He says it provides a framework for future governments, with timely, targeted spending, and transparency, and importantly, they won't be setting up a separate piece of pandemic legalisation – if it needs changing, they'll update what's already there.

The Government's issued its formal response to the Covid inquiry, accepting all recommendations in some form - with some caveats. Health Minister Simeon Brown says emergency support in future shocks will be timely, temporary, and targeted. The Government's promising key advice in a future pandemic will be made public within five working days. "I know of parties in Parliament that could take a very different approach, as they did last time, but I think that's the point of a Royal Commission, and that's the point of how we've responded - saying, actually there's an important point around keeping expenditure to what's necessary."

Extreme heatwaves are becoming more frequent across the globe, not only in countries used to cooler climates, but also in those already familiar with significantly hotter temperatures. Intense heat can have an impact on the human body, from heat stroke to dehydration to skin damage. Economies can suffer as drought conditions impact farming communities. Built up urban areas can exacerbate the temperatures caused by heatwaves. And it can further expose already existing inequalities in society. There is advice out there on how to protect ourselves. There are tried and tested models of sustainable farming. Some urban spaces are being redesigned to accommodate heat extremes, and some major cities are taking action to address the imbalances caused by extreme heat. But do they all go far enough? On this week's Inquiry we're asking, ‘Can we live with extreme heat?'Contributors: Prof Ollie Jay, director of Heat and Health Research Centre, University of Sydney, Australia Lindiwe Majele Sibanda, animal scientist, chairperson of the Council of the National University of Science & Technology, Zimbabwe Winston Chow, co-chair, IPPC Working Group II, professor of urban climate, Singapore Management University Diana Liverman, professor of geography, University of Arizona, Tuscon, USA(Photo: Two people walking with blue umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun in front of the Colosseum in Rome, Italy.

Dr. Sebastian Wernicke is a data scientist, a partner at Oxera Consulting, and author of the new book Data Inspired: Building an Organizational Culture of Inquiry for Lasting Transformation. Sebastian talks with Greg about why he thinks culture, not tools, is the biggest obstacle to effective data/AI adoption. Sebastian critiques the “data deficit” assumption that more data yields obvious answers, arguing data often increases complexity and should drive inquiry, psychological safety, and willingness to be proven wrong. They contrast data-driven optimization with a data-inspired mindset that also asks “what if” questions to enable transformation, noting A/B testing examples like Google's “50 shades of Blue” experiment don't generalize out to most business decisions.  Sebastian also explains why initiatives fail when they treat technology as the hard part, while they ignore tacit decision-making, incentives, and workflows, and rely on pilots/lighthouse projects that don't scale. He outlines strategy using Rumelt's framework, discusses silos vs “swamps,” leadership behavior, and why CDO/AI roles need explicit transformation mandates, resources, and CEO-level support. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: Culture not technology, drives transformation 11:36: I think when it comes to data and AI specifically, it's really focusing on the wrong problem as the hard problem. I think whenever you're tackling one of these bigger initiatives, you're sort of trying to figure out in the beginning to say, "Well, what's hard about this?" Right? Because that's what we should focus on initially. And usually, I think what many of these projects focus on is clearly technology. So they say, "Well, what's hard about this? It will be hard to get the data together. It will be hard because there's all these fancy algorithms, and we need the cloud infrastructure, and we need the experts," and so on. And the other elements, you know, we need to act differently. We have to bring 20 different stakeholders together because many of these data and AI projects are interdisciplinary, and they all need to agree, and they need to agree in spirit, not just say that they agree and we're actually going to change the way we work, so we're going to redistribute power, maybe even in our organization, or who makes a decision, that's the hard part. More data isn't enough to make better decisions 02:29:  I think we have this inherent assumption that when we want to make better decisions, all we need to do is add a bit of more data to our organizations, right? So, as soon as we see the right data, as soon as we see what the data is telling us, we will know what to do, everybody in the room will agree, and we know how to move forward. And of course, it's not at all like that.  Optimization is not transformation 02:31: We have this inherent assumption that when we want to make better decisions, all we need to do is add a bit of more data to our organizations, right? So as soon as we see the right data, as soon as we see what the data is telling us, we will know what to do. Everybody in the room will agree, and we know how to move forward.

What if the stories you've been telling yourself about your betrayal — about who you are, what you're capable of, and whether you can heal — aren't facts at all? What if they're just beliefs? And what if beliefs can change?  In this powerful episode, Dr. Debi sits down with Nir Eyal, bestselling author of Beyond Belief, Indistractable, and Hooked, for a conversation that will fundamentally shift how you see your own healing journey. Nir is one of the world's leading thinkers on behavior change and human potential, and what he shares here is directly relevant to everyone navigating betrayal recovery.  Nir breaks down the critical difference between facts, faith, and beliefs — and why understanding that distinction is the single most important thing you can do to stop suffering. You'll hear about the science behind limiting beliefs, why your brain is actually designed to keep you stuck, and how something as seemingly small as a shift in perspective can produce results as dramatic as a rat swimming 60 hours instead of 15 minutes.  You'll also discover why 80% of healthcare spending goes to illness (not sickness), what surgery without anesthesia reveals about the power of your mind, and why the biggest limiting belief of all — that feeling bad is bad — may be what's keeping you from your breakthrough.  This episode is for everyone who's ever said, "This is just who I am," or "I can't change," or "I'll be okay once they admit what they did." Nir gently but firmly challenges all of it — and gives you the tools to challenge it yourself.  Topics Covered:  The critical difference between facts, faith, and beliefs — and why it matters for healing  Why beliefs are "tools, not truths" and how to start using them differently  What learned helplessness research got completely wrong — and what the truth reveals about your potential  The Hope Floats study: how rats swam 60 hours instead of 15 minutes — and what that means for you  Why your brain is wired to keep you stuck (and how to work with it, not against it)  The difference between sickness and illness — and why 80% of healthcare spending misses the mark  How Daniel Giss underwent a 55-minute surgical procedure with zero anesthesia using only the power of his mind  The fear-pain-fear loop and how it amplifies betrayal trauma  The surprising science of prayer and pain tolerance — even for people with no faith tradition  How placebos work (and why open-label placebos outperform leading medications for IBS)  Why your memories aren't as accurate as you think — and why that's actually good news  The story of Dashrath Manjhi — the man who moved a mountain (literally) for 22 years  Inquiry-based stress reduction and the one question that can unlock everything: "Could the opposite be true?"  The biggest limiting belief holding people back: feeling bad is bad  Dr. Debi shares research from 100,000+ betrayal survivors on the gut-betrayal connection  A powerful story of a woman who healed a 70+ year digestive issue in two weeks of betrayal recovery  Resources Mentioned:  Nir Eyal's website & free 5-minute Belief Change Journal: NirAndFar.com  Beyond Belief by Nir Eyal  Indistractable by Nir Eyal  Hooked by Nir Eyal  The Five Stages of Betrayal Recovery™ — ThePBTInstitute.com  Post Betrayal Syndrome® Assessment — ThePBTInstitute.com  Betrayal to Breakthrough: Live — ThePBTInstitute.com/live  Connect with Nir Eyal:  Website: http://nirandfar.com  LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nireyal/  Instagram - http://instagram.com/nireyal  Book: Beyond Belief geni.us/beyondbelief  Free belief change guide is here: https://www.nirandfar.com/beyond-belief-live   Bonus content and the 30-Day Belief Transformation Journal is here: https://www.nirandfar.com/beyond-belief     Connect with Dr. Debi Silber:  Instagram: @debisilber  Website: ThePBTInstitute.com  Join Betrayal to Breakthrough: Live: ThePBTInstitute.com/live

Drew Perkins talks with Mark Enser about his Substack piece titled, A Pedagogy for Powerful Knowledge | Why dialogue, enquiry and cognitive science aren't competing answers.  This episode addresses questions like: "How to combine cognitive science with inquiry-based learning", "Differences between classroom discussion and dialogic teaching", "Why inquiry requires high-level scaffolding", and "How to avoid algorithmic teaching in the classroom". Links & Resources Mentioned In This Episode Have some feedback you'd like to share? You can email me at drew@thoughtstretchers.org. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it and please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you're listening. Some Key Takeaways The "Future Three" Pedagogical Model: Education should move away from abstract, student-led theories toward a "Future Three" approach that prioritizes objective knowledge transmission as the foundation for deeper inquiry.1 Synthesizing Pedagogy: Powerful knowledge is not achieved by picking one method; it requires a synergy of cognitive science (for stability), dialogic teaching (for deeper truth-seeking), and structured inquiry. Dialogue vs. Discussion: Discussion is often superficial and biologically primary. True dialogue is a trained skill requiring support and Socratic guidance to help students critique models and search for truth. Structuring Inquiry: Inquiry is not "minimal guidance." Effective inquiry must be highly scaffolded, using conceptual questions as "maps" that provide a clear purpose for the learning journey and guide students through the application of foundational knowledge. Avoiding "Cargo Cult" Pedagogy: Teachers must prioritize intent over rote, algorithmic application of cognitive science. Methods like retrieval practice should require deeper cognitive effort rather than being used as a checklist of simple recall techniques. Progression for Novices: While integrating all three pillars is the goal, cognitive science practices are often the most stable starting point for novice teachers, as they are easier to structure into playbooks and carry the least risk of unproductive outcomes. Episode Highlights & Timecodes [00:03:04] Mark Enser's Background: From 20 years as a geography teacher to an Ofsted inspector and freelance consultant. [00:12:02] Pedagogical Evolution: The shift from a "Future Two" mindset (student-led) to a "Future Three" model (prioritizing objective knowledge). [00:18:15] The Core Thesis: Why "powerful knowledge" requires a synergy of cognitive science, dialogic teaching, and structured inquiry. [00:20:31] Discussion vs. Dialogue: Distinguishing between the social behavior of discussion and the trained, guided skill of dialogue. [00:26:12] The Search for Truth: Using the dialectic in education to critique models rather than just memorizing facts. [00:33:53] Inquiry vs. Discovery Learning: Why effective inquiry requires high-level scaffolding rather than "minimal guidance." [00:38:04] Inquiry as a Framing Tool: Using conceptual questions as "maps" to provide purpose and bound the curriculum. [00:46:23] Avoiding "Cargo Cult" Cognitive Science: Moving beyond rote algorithms and checklists to prioritize true teacher intent. [00:51:26] Advice for Novice Teachers: Prioritizing cognitive science as a stable baseline before layering in more complex dialogic and inquiry-based strategies.

“The precept today is giving, the joy of giving. Everything is something which was given; every existence in nature, every existence in human world, every cultural work we do is something which was given to us or which is being given to us, relatively speaking. But actually everything is originally one. So it may be better to say we are giving out everything. It is the same thing. Relatively speaking everything is something given to us but actually we are giving everything -- giving out or expressing out moment after moment we are creating something, moment after moment. This is the joy of our life.” ~ Shunryu Suzuki

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Peter Boettke sits down with Don Boudreaux to mark the 250th anniversary of Adam Smith's An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. Boudreaux reflects on his many years teaching a graduate seminar on Smith at George Mason University, the layers of insight he continues to discover on each re-read, and why so few professional economists ever read the book cover to cover despite its enduring relevance to questions of monopoly power, trade, taxation, and public debt. The conversation traces the relationship between The Wealth of Nations and Smith's earlier The Theory of Moral Sentiments, dismantling the old "Adam Smith Problem" and explaining why markets need both bourgeois virtue and hard institutional discipline to function. Boudreaux and Boettke also celebrate George Mason's distinctive culture as a "books department" shaped by mentors such as Roger Garrison, Walter Williams, and James Buchanan. Dr. Donald J. Boudreaux is a Senior Fellow with the F.A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and a Professor of Economics and former economics-department chair at George Mason University. He is the author of many books, including The Triumph of Economic Freedom: Debunking the Seven Great Myths of American Capitalism (Rowman & Littlefield, 2025), The Essential Hayek (Fraser Institute, 2015), Hypocrites and Half-Wits: A Daily Dose of Sanity from Cafe Hayek (Free to Choose Press, 2012), and Globalization (Greenwood Press, 2007).**This episode was recorded on May 28, 2026**Show Notes:Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (Liberty Fund, 1982)Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments (Liberty Fund, 1982)David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature (Liberty Fund, 1896)John Maynard Keynes, The General Theory Of Employment, Interest, And Money (Harper Collins, 1965)James M.

A survivor of abuse in state care says the government's lack of progress towards preventing further harm is bordering on criminal. But the minister in charge says the government is committed to change, and it will take years to make things right. Survivors gathered outside Parliament this morning for a ceremony marking two years since the release of the Abuse in Care Royal Commission of Inquiry's final report. Political reporter Lauren Crimp was there.

Gold has been prized throughout history for its value and its beauty, which has also made it attractive to those prepared to exploit this precious metal for their own ends. The European Union recently banned the purchase, import and transfer of gold from Sudan, one of Africa's largest gold producers, saying it had become a key source of financing for the country's civil war. And in other parts of the world where there are gold reserves, there can be similar exploitation. Many artisanal and small-scale miners are vulnerable to organised crime syndicates who find the risks of gold mining lower compared to those of drug trafficking. And illicit gold is much easier to launder into the legal market, because it can be melted down with legitimate sources of gold and smuggled across borders, making its origins much harder to trace. But the challenge for governments trying to enforce the law is how to protect those at the bottom of the chain and provide them with sustainable alternatives to illicit gold mining, whilst clamping down on the criminal groups behind the operation. So, on this week's Inquiry, we're asking ‘Can the illicit gold trade be stopped?'Contributors: Campbell Harvey, professor of finance, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, USA Dr Dan Watson, research associate, International Institute for Strategic Studies, London, UK Bram Ebus, consultant with International Crisis Group, founder and co-director Amazon Underworld, Bogotá, Colombia Louis Maréchal, senior advisor on minerals & extractives, OECD, Paris, France.

This week's episode is an exploration of the search for freedom. For those of us who find ourselves on some kind of spiritual path, practicing techniques that allow us to expand into truer, fuller expressions of what we really are, it can be tempting to identify as ‘seekers.' Usually what we're seeking is a sense of freedom. One such seeker poses the question in this episode, “Is there such a thing as freedom?” All the mystics – ancient and modern – say there is. But why is it so hard to find it? And how does it connect to the idea of free will? Are we actually controlling the events of our life? Could it be that real freedom comes from releasing the “I” that thinks it needs to manage everything? Join in the group inquiry, get still, and notice what arises within in response to these questions.

When something goes badly wrong, we investigate it. Reports are written. Recommendations are made. Lessons are identified. But do we actually learn them?Episode SummaryReturning to the show, Gill Kernick joins me to discuss the substantially revised second edition of her book about the Grenfell Tower disaster, following the publication of the Grenfell Inquiry's final report. Gill has a unique perspective on Grenfell. She lived on the 21st floor of the tower before moving out three years before the fire. Professionally, she has spent decades helping organisations in high-hazard industries understand leadership, safety and major accidents.When Gill first appeared on the podcast, the Inquiry was still underway. Seven years later, its conclusions have revealed an even more disturbing picture—not of one catastrophic mistake, but of systemic failure involving government, regulators, manufacturers, certification bodies and the construction industry.But this episode isn't just about Grenfell. It's about why organisations struggle to learn from failure, why compliance isn't the same as understanding, why we crave simple explanations for complex problems, and why genuine learning is much harder than writing another report. If you haven't already listened to Gill's previous appearances on the podcast, I'd strongly recommend doing so. Together, the conversations chart how understanding evolves as new evidence emerges.What you'll learn In this episode In a wide-ranging discussion, we explore:Why Gill decided to write a second edition after the Grenfell Inquiry concludedThe shocking scale of the systemic failures uncovered by the InquiryWhy disasters rarely have a single root causeThe hidden dangers of deregulation and "compliance theatre"Why organisations identify lessons but rarely learn themThe importance of understanding the spirit—not just the letter—of regulationWhy complexity requires different kinds of leadershipHow AI might help organisations learn lessons in real timeWhy hope is, as Gill puts it, "an act of resistance"AI-Generated.Timestamp Summary00:00 – Do we really learn lessons from disasters?02:45 – Gill's personal connection to Grenfell Tower05:15 – Why the second edition became necessary after the Inquiry 06:30 – The Inquiry's most shocking findings10:00 – When regulators knew the risks—but failed to act12:00 – Implicit trust and why we rely on systems we don't understand13:00 – Deregulation and the unintended consequences of political narratives17:00 – Compliance versus understanding the intent behind regulation20:00 – Why regulations struggle to keep pace with technology and complexity24:00 – Hope as an act of resistance 25:00 – Why we don't actually learn lessons 27:00 – Is a seven-year inquiry too long?33:00 – Why "post-Grenfell" reforms miss the real point37:00 – Communities of grief and change 39:00 – Why Gill rewrote the book instead of writing a new one44:00 – How the experience changed Gill's own thinking 50:00 – Speaking up in ways that actually get heard53:30 – Practical advice for learning in complex systems55:00 – "Lessons learning" instead of "lessons learned" 59:00 – Final reflectionsLinksGill's website, The Grenfell EnquirerHer book 'Catastrophe & Systemic Change'Gill's LinkedIn: Her previous show appearancesGill Kernick on the Grenfell Tower Disaster — Part OneGill Kernick on the Grenfell Tower Disaster — Part TwoTopics discussedGrenfell Tower Inquiry – Final ReportThe Grenfell Enquirer (articles and resources)Arup's Building Safety Change FrameworkPeople and ideas mentionedDave Snowden (Cognitive Edge)Cynefin Framework overviewBackground incidents referencedPiper Alpha disaster (Encyclopaedia Britannica)Lakanal House fire (Wikipedia)Deepwater Horizon oil spill (Encyclopaedia Britannica)

Amit takes the time to celebrate the 300'th episode by diving into his work and findings over the last year. Reflecting on what is important now, what is his to do. An invitation to fully lean into what you truly care about and create value, not extract from there. The invitation of inquiry and the possibilities that open up when we let go of the posture of right and wrong and truly begin to love what is here. The second part of the episode is Fredrik Forss (LI) — good friend and previous guest — interviewing Amit about where he's currently at. This is a wonderful conversation that takes us deep into what it is to follow the movement above all, what it means to be living and why cultivating a posture and capability for relaxation is essential in these days.

This week's episode explores subconscious beliefs and how to empty the reservoir of the unconscious mind. Using self inquiry, we're continuing last week's exploration of the mind's tendency to divide things under the labels of ‘me' and ‘not me.' How do we live when our life experience is ruled by those concepts? What if what we've been believing ourselves to be is nothing but a fictitious character? And who might we be if we opened our minds enough to experience ourselves without these stories? Could it be that who we are is much broader, much more expensive, than we've allowed ourselves to imagine?

Hall of Fame rock legend and dedicated political activist Roger Waters joins Jimmy to discuss his support for a UK Supreme Court case challenging the refusal to reopen an inquest into the 9/11 attacks, arguing that the official narrative is a cover-up and that the towers were intentionally demolished. He criticizes Zionist influence, Western imperialism, and the billionaire class, linking historical events like the Balfour Declaration to the ongoing genocide in Palestine.  Waters advocates for grassroots truth-seeking, mutual aid, and mass movements to hold the ruling class accountable, while promoting a fundraiser for Matt Campbell's legal fight. He also condemns media thought control, AI-generated music, and the erosion of human rights, urging viewers to support the crowdfunder at crowdfunder.co.uk/p-911. Plus segments on the newest holes emerging in the murder case against Tyler Robinson and a new online tool to evade social media censorship of Gaza devastation. Also featuring Keaton Weiss and Kurt Metzger!
