Up until last week, it seemed unthinkable for a UN member state to strike a nuclear site. But Israel did just that when it launched its attack on Iran, hitting military and atomic sites, and killing key figures of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. It also seemed unthinkable for missiles to penetrate Israel's Iron Dome and destroy infrastructure in cities such as Haifa and Tel Aviv. Yet again, civilians are paying the heaviest price. More than 240 people have been killed in Iran so far. In Israel, at least 24 people have been killed in retaliatory strikes. One week on, the war shows no signs of abating, with the US hinting it might get involved, too. A sense of unease has gripped the region, with neighbouring states fearing further escalation. A group of 20 countries including Gulf states, Jordan and Egypt has called for an end to hostilities. In a worst-case scenario, the repercussions could be catastrophic for them, too. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher looks at the consequences of the war on the Middle East and asks what will happen to the region if Tehran were to fall? She speaks to Hasan AlHasan, senior fellow for Middle East policy at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, and Thomas Juneau, Middle East researcher and a professor at University of Ottawa, Canada.

Das Eisschild Grönlands schwindet und mit ihm gleitet Camp Century langsam ins Nordpolarmeer. Ein Podcast über eine Umweltkatastrophe aus Nachlässigkeit. Ein Podcast vom Pragmaticus.Das Thema:Was werden Sie in diesem Podcast hören? „Eine bizarre Geschichte“, so fasst es Horst Machguth zusammen. Der Glaziologe an der Universität Lausanne hat sie 2016 publik gemacht: Es geht um eine verlassene Militärbasis auf Grönland. Camp Century in der Arktis lag einmal tief im Firn Grönlands vergraben. Die US-Militärbasis sollte nach dem Sputnikschock im Oktober 1957 eine Bastion gegen die Sowjetunion sein und war für die Zukunft gemacht. Diese Zukunft ist jetzt da, und sie ist anders als die Erbauer glaubten. Das Eis schmilzt, und die Stadt unter dem Eis gleitet unaufhaltsam in das Nordpolarmeer. Eine tödliche Fracht voller Schwermetalle, Altöl und radioaktivem Abfall.Camp Century wurde schon 1967 aufgegeben, der Kalte Krieg hatte neue Technologien und Wege gefunden. Schon zu Beginn der Grabungen war klar, dass der Firn keine Stollen trägt, dass die Idee mit den Abschussrampen im Eis nicht funktioniert. Es lohnt die Frage: Wie konnte es zu einer derartigen Fehleinschätzung der Folgen kommen? Antworten geben: Horst Machguth, der Glaziologe, der die Welt als Erster über das Vermächtnis von Camp Century informierte; Jakob Abermann, ein Meteorologe und Gletscherforscher, der das Schicksal des Eisschilds auf Grönland erforscht und Heinz Gärtner, Politologe und Experte für den Kalten Krieg.Camp Century liegt etwa 240 Kilometer östlich der Thule Airbase (Pittufik), das ist jene, die der Vizpräsident der USA, J.D. Vance, Ende März 2025 besuchte. Für die Thule Airbase wurden die ursprünglichen Bewohner zwangsumgesiedelt, von Uummannaq (Thule) in das neu gegründete Qaanaaq.Gebraucht hat man die Militär-Basis im Firn nie. Sie war eine reine Cover-Aktion. Doch auch als solche war sie schon überflüssig, bevor sie fertig war.Unsere Gäste in dieser Folge: Jakob Abermann ist Meteorologe und forscht an der Universität Graz am Institut für Geographie und Raumforschung. In seiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeit dreht sich alles um Klima, Eis und Schnee: Es geht um Wechselwirkungen zwischen Kryo- und Atmosphäre. Nach Forschungsaufenthalten in Chile, ist Grönland sein Forschungsschwerpunkt und wegen der oft jahrelangen Feldforschung häufig der Lebensmittelpunkt. Auf Grönland erhobene Daten sollen Aufschluss über Vergangenheit und Zukunft des Klimawandels geben.Heinz Gärtner ist Politikwissenschaftler, er lehrt an der Universität Wien, leitet den Beirat des International Institute for Peace (IIP) und ist Vorsitzender des Strategie- und Sicherheitspolitischen Beirats des Österreichischen Bundesheeres. Er leitete als wissenschaftlicher Direktor das Österreichische Institut für internationale Politik – oiip. Seine Forschung über die USA, Fragen internationaler Sicherheit, Abrüstung und Rüstungskontrolle führten ihn unter anderem an die Universitäten Erlangen, Stanford, Oxford und die Johns Hopkins in Washington, an denen er als Gastprofessor tätig war. Heinz Gärtner hat neben Fachbeiträgen zahlreiche Bücher geschrieben, zuletzt erschien von ihm Ideen zum positiven Frieden. Der Kalte Krieg ist einer seiner Forschungsschwerpunkte.Horst Machguth ist Glaziologe. Er lehrt und forscht an der Université de Fribourg in der Schweiz zur Massenbilanz von Gletschern und Eisschilden. Seine Forschung ist für das Monitoring der globalen Eisressourcen bedeutsam, ebenso wie für das Verständnis der geophysikalischen Prozesse in Eisschilden und Gletschern. Das grönländische Eisschild ist einer seiner Schwerpunkte.Credits:Trump: „One way or another“: NBCNews, 4.

A Chinese ‘super embassy' could be built in the heart of London – and intelligence experts say it would open the door to cyber interference at the heart of Britain's financial system. Today on The Bunker, Gavin Esler sits down with security expert Nigel Inkster, former director of operations and intelligence MI6 and senior advisor at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, to ask if Britain is turning a blind eye to the growing threat from Beijing? With fears of espionage, tech theft and power plays rising fast, how worried should we really be about China? • We are sponsored by Indeed.

Why do some people experience same-sex attraction—and how should faithful Christians respond? In this episode of the Dr. J Show, clinical sexologist Floyd Godfrey draws on decades of experience counseling clients who experience same-sex attraction and want to live lives of chastity and integrity.   Dr. Godfrey discusses how trauma, emotional wounds, and unmet developmental needs can shape sexual desires. He explains the difference between a person's feelings and their identity, and how healing involves both psychological insight and spiritual maturity. Rather than pushing an agenda, he walks us through how real change happens—with honesty, accountability, and deep human connection.   This conversation pushes back on the cultural narrative that says "once gay, always gay," and raises serious questions about efforts to ban talk therapy for those who seek it. If you're a parent, pastor, counselor, or simply someone concerned about the truth and the well-being of others, you won't want to miss this important episode.   Subscribe to our newsletter to get this amazing report: Refuting the Top 5 Gay Myths https://ruthinstitute.org/refute-the-top-five-myths/   Have a question or a comment?

One of the most persistent myths promoted by LGBT advocates is that sexual orientation is fixed and cannot change. Research and clinical experience suggest otherwise.   In this episode of The Dr. J Show, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse interviews Dr. Floyd Godfrey, a clinical sexologist and Christian counselor with decades of experience helping individuals overcome pornography addiction, unwanted same-sex attraction, and sexualized attachments. Dr. Godfrey explains how many of these issues stem from emotional wounds and disrupted attachment patterns—conditions that are treatable through compassionate, evidence-based therapy.   The discussion explores the concept of sex addiction as an intimacy attachment disorder, the development of the arousal template, and the role that trauma and early relational dynamics play in shaping sexual behaviors. It also contrasts mainstream therapeutic approaches with those rooted in a biblical worldview, showing that faith and science are not at odds when it comes to human sexuality.   Dr. Floyd Godfrey is a seasoned Mental Health Consultant, Speaker, and Educator with over two decades of clinical experience. He offers consulting services to individuals, families, and professionals, addressing complex issues related to mental health and human sexuality. Dr. Godfrey holds credentials as a Clinical Sexologist, Certified Sex Addiction Specialist Supervisor, Certified Christian Counselor, and Certified Mental Health Coach. His educational background includes degrees from Arizona State University, Ottawa University, and the International Institute for Clinical Sexology. Early in his career, he worked at Tempe Social Services with children and facilitated after-school programming, which deepened his understanding of family dynamics and child development. Building on this experience, Dr. Godfrey dedicated over 20 years to developing comprehensive sexual addiction programming for various populations, including adults, couples, young adults, and adolescents. His approach integrates a biblical worldview, blending academic rigor with practical expertise to create impactful interventions for mental health and human sexuality concerns.   Subscribe to our newsletter to get this amazing report: Refuting the Top 5 Gay Myths https://ruthinstitute.org/refute-the-top-five-myths/   Have a question or a comment?

http://handanalysis.net/ What Is Hand Analysis? Hand analysis is the modern form of the ancient art of palmistry. Whereas palmistry is defined as foretelling the future from the lines of your palm, hand analysis seeks to further self- understanding through an examination of the entirety of your hands. Because each pair of hands are a self portrait drawn from deep within, to have your hands read is to lift the veil, to stare deep into the truth mirror, to stand revealed before your very eyes. A hand reading shows you who you are today and who you can be. Your hand analyst will examine the overall shape of your palm and fingers to determine your basic temperament, your thumb to see you how you "get things under your thumb," and the twelve zones of the fingers to see personality strengths and weaknesses. The lines in your palm will be examined to determine your basic wiring: the type of emotional system you have, what kind of computer you possess, which nervous system type you are, etc. Talents and hidden motivations will be revealed. Both hand shape and lines change over time, but there is a part of your hands unaltered from five months prior to birth: your fingerprints. Like an acorn containing within it a picture of the oak tree it may become someday, your fingerprints reveal your Life Purpose. By comparing the original imprint revealed in your fingerprints with the dynamic map of your personality and character shown in the lines and hand topography, a hand reading gives perspective to your current circumstances in relation to the big picture of your life story.

In the new episode of our monthly special in cooperation with the Journal of Democracy, Dan Slater discusses the authoritarian origins of the third wave of democratization.Dan Slater – who is James Orin Murfin Professor of Political Science and the director of the Center for Emerging Democracies at the International Institute at the University of Michigan – explains what inspired him to critique Samuel Huntington's influential interpretation of the third waveof democratization; discusses the rise and fall of left-wing and right-wing authoritarian waves in the 1970s and 1980s; examines how the democratization of countries thatexited left-wing authoritarian regimes may have differed from those leaving behind right-wing ones; considers the extent to which geopolitics might explain politicalchange; and reflects on what might be new and distinct  about the current wave of right-wing authoritarianism– and how the authoritarian waves of the recent past might help us grasp it better.In the framework of this partnership, authors discuss outstanding articles from the latest print issue of the Journal of Democracy. The conversation is based on Dan Slater'sarticle “The Authoritarian Origins of the Third Wave” which has been published in the April 2025 (36/2) issue.

All the colours of the rainbow, plus oneResearchers have fired lasers directly into the eye to stimulate photoreceptors, and produce the perception of a colour that does not exist in nature. They describe it as a “supersaturated teal,” and hope the technique will allow them to better understand colour vision and perhaps lead to treatments for vision problems. Austin Roorda has been developing this technology using mirrors, lasers and optical devices. He is a professor of Optometry and Vision Science at University of California, Berkeley. The study was published in the journal Science Advances.Following in the footsteps of an ancient ankylosaurPaleontologists have found fossil footprints of an armoured dinosaur in the Canadian Rockies that fill in a critical gap in the fossil record. The footprints belonged to a club-tailed ankylosaur about five to six metres long, and are the first evidence of this type of dinosaur living in North America in a period known as the middle Cretaceous. The research was led by Victoria Arbour, curator of paleontology at the Royal B.C. Museum, and published in the journal Vertebrate Paleontology.Did the Neanderthals die from sunburn?Neanderthals disappeared 40,000 years ago, and new research suggests this corresponds to a period of weakness in the Earth's magnetic field that allowed an increase in the solar radiation reaching the surface. Researchers think they have evidence that modern humans were able to protect themselves from the sun better than Neanderthals could, and this might have contributed to the Neanderthal extinction. Raven Garvey is an anthropologist at the University of Michigan. Her team's research was published in the journal Science. Cloudy with a chance of ammonia mushballsNew observations and models of activity within Jupiter's stormy atmosphere is giving a weather report for the giant planet, and it's pretty extreme. Most interestingly, researchers predict conditions that could lead to violent lightning storms producing softball sized frozen ammonia “mushballs” that would rain through the upper atmosphere. The research was led by Chris Moeckel, a planetary scientist and aerospace engineer at the University of California-Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory, and was published in the journal Science Advances.Shattering heat records: climate change is turning out to be worse than expectedIn the last few years, we've seen global temperatures rising faster, with more extreme localized heatwaves, than climate models predicted. Climate scientists are trying to understand this by investigating the underlying factors behind these heating trends. Richard Allan, from the University of Reading in the U.K., was expecting a larger than normal rise in global temperatures due to natural fluctuations, but global temperatures in 2023 and 2024 were much higher than expected. Their recent study in the journal Environmental Research Letters found a growing imbalance in the earth's heat system, with increasingly more heat coming in than leaving, in large part due to changes we've seen in global cloud cover.This global heating is not happening evenly around the world. Kai Kornhuber, from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria and Columbia Climate School in New York, found regional hotspots that are experiencing unexpected extreme heat, likely due to a combination of factors. That study is in the journal PNAS. 

In this episode of Mission Brief, Sergeant First Class in the reserves D sits down with Shani farhi (lourie), Head of pedagogy section in the International Institute for Holocaust Educationto talk about “Netzer Aharon”- The holocaust survivors who were the last descendants of their family. They fought for the establishment of the state of Israel.These were men and women who emerged from the horrors of the Holocaust and went on to fight for the survival of a newly established Jewish state. Their stories are not only a testament to survival, but to the power of rebuilding, defending, and believing in something greater.When they died, they had no family to remember them. Now they're remembered by the nation, and we have to make sure their stories are heard.To learn more about the last descendants, read their stories and light a memorial candle, visit this link: https://www.izkor.gov.il/en/b9b30e34960ba665bc7e5ab4401422cf/life-storiesMay their memory be a blessing.

What if the most “settled science” around abortion was built on sand? In this stirring episode of The Dr. J Show, world-renowned psychologist Dr. Priscilla Coleman exposes the deep flaws behind the much-lauded “Turnaway Study” and shares decades of suppressed research on the psychological toll of abortion. “At least 30% of women come out of that room... and they're changed. Sometimes to the point of suicide,” she says. It's a truth our culture refuses to face—but the data, and the stories, are undeniable. Dr. Coleman and Dr. Morse don't just speak from data—they speak from the heart. “It wasn't until I went back to the Catholic Church and went to confession that the night terrors finally stopped,” Dr. Morse shares in a rare moment of personal testimony. We cannot love women by lying to them. Watch this powerful conversation and discover how the International Institute for Reproductive Loss is arming counselors, lawyers, and pregnancy centers with scientific truth because “science is finally supporting what the Church has always taught.” Subscribe to our newsletter to get this amazing report: Refuting the Top 5 Gay Myths https://ruthinstitute.org/refute-the-top-five-myths/ Watch Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ukkz7sKYI4 Have a question or a comment?

With four episodes on tariffs this month, the podcast has already broken its monthly episode record. Nevertheless, news is also happening elsewhere, and for the past few months a number of interesting stories emerged in Southeast Asia. Then, given that Southeast Asian economies are some of the most directly affected by Trump's tariff policies, the need for a conversation centred on Southeast Asia only increased, starting with how the US is perceived and the assessments being made regarding the region's strategic trajectory. To discuss all this and more, Aaron Connolly returns to the podcast. Aaron is Asia Diplomatic Editor and Singapore Bureau Chief at The Economist, having joined the newspaper from the International Institute of Strategic Studies where he was working the last time he appeared on the podcast. Aaron offers both a big picture strategic landscape of the region, and broad and deep knowledge of details, both political and economic. In addition to Trump and tariffs, Darren and Aaron discuss Indonesia's recent military reforms and other policies of the Prabowo administration, Thailand's deportation of Uighurs to China, and the arrest of former Philippines president Duterte. Australia in the World is written, hosted, and produced by Darren Lim, with research and editing this episode by Hannah Nelson and theme music composed by Rory Stenning.

President Trump is reportedly considering abandoning America's longstanding role commanding NATO forces as Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), changing the U.S. combatant command structure, and canceling modernization plans for U.S. Forces Japan. While it's true that Europe needs to step up to the plate on its own defense needs, abandoning the SACEUR position would place U.S. troops under foreign command, give Washington less leverage over our allies, and weaken deterrence. How can Trump better advance his goal of boosting European defense spending? And where can the Defense Department make cuts that bolster deterrence? Kori Schake is a senior fellow and the director of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute. Before joining AEI, Kori was the deputy director-general of the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London; a professor at West Point, University of Maryland, and Johns Hopkins University; and worked in the State Department, National Security Council, and Department of Defense.

In this week's episode, host Kristin Hayes talks with Aaron Cosbey, a senior associate at the International Institute for Sustainable Development, about the future of climate policy in Canada. The newly elected leader of Canada's Liberal Party, Mark Carney, has replaced Justin Trudeau as prime minister and likely will face Pierre Poilievre, the leader of Canada's Conservative Party, in a general election. Cosbey discusses the consequences of these election outcomes for a controversial policy that taxes Canadians for consuming fossil fuels—though this policy also issues rebates of equivalent value, or more, to most Canadians. Cosbey also discusses how the Liberal and Conservative Parties differ in their views on carbon pricing, why the fuel tax on consumers is no longer politically viable, and what emissions-reduction policies Carney may support if the Liberal Party wins a general election.
