Developments in the Middle East have come thick and fast this week. On Tuesday the IPC - a UN-backed monitor group - warned that the "worst-case scenario of famine" is unfolding in the Gaza Strip. Britain, meanwhile, warned that unless Israel met a number of conditions before the UN General Assembly convenes next month, it would join France in recognising a State of Palestine. Meanwhile, the Israeli occupied West Bank has received little international attention since the war in Gaza began. Attacks by Jewish settlers on Palestinians living there are on the rise - up by 13 percent over the past year, says the UN. We examine attacks in one village and a town.Also in the programme: Why is Greece detaining all migrants arriving from North Africa?

Twee uit drie hongersnood-drumpels is in Gaza bereik wat lei tot laer voedselverbruik en erge wanvoeding. Dit is volgens die jongste Geïntegreerde Voedselsekerheid-faseklassifisering wat deur die Verenigde Nasies ondersteun word. Volgens die IPC is minstens 16 kinders jonger as vyf sedert middel-Julie in Gaza aan hongerverwante oorsake dood. Ross Smith van die Wêreld-voedselprogram sê meer as 20 000 kinders is sedert April vir wanvoeding behandel en meer as 3 000 is erg ondervoed:

Birleşmiş Milletler'in ‘Entegre Gıda Güvenliği Aşama Sınıflandırması' (IPC) inisiyatifinin raporu, Gazze'de yaşanan durumu ‘kıtlığın en kötü senaryosu' olarak tanımlıyor. ‘Yaygın açlık, yetersiz beslenme ve hastalıklar' açlığa bağlı ölümleri daha önce yaşanmamış seviyelere getirmiş durumda. Mart ayından beri İsrail'in uyguladığı tam blokaj ve son aylarda Amerika'nın da desteklediği planla insani yardımın merkezileştirilerek İsrail'in eliyle dağıtıl(ma)ması, Gazze'de açlığın savaş yöntemi olarak kullanıldığının en önemli kanıtları arasında yer alıyor. 7 Ekim 2023 Hamas saldırısından beri Gazze'de etnik temizlik ve soykırım harekâtı başlatan Netanyahu yönetimi, uluslararası insani yardım kuruluşlarının baskısı karşısında Gazze'de açlık olmadığını iddia etmekten çekinmeyen bir arsızlıkla hareket etmeye devam ediyor. İsrail'e baskı yapabilecek tek güç olan ABD'nin Başkanı Trump'ın dahi açlığın varlığını kabullenen açıklamaları, Filistinlileri nihai olarak yok etme niyetinde olan İsrail aşırı sağının kararlılığı karşısında maalesef etkisiz kalacak görünüyor.

A.M. Edition for July 29. At least sixteen children under five have died of hunger-related causes since mid-July, according to the UN-supported group the IPC. WSJ correspondent Margherita Stancati says it's the most dire assessment of conditions in Gaza since the war began. Plus, in Midtown New York a lone gunman has killed four people including a police officer and a Blackstone executive. And, we look at how the Trump administration is looking to borrow 1 trillion dollars with a deluge of new government debt. Azhar Sukri hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.

Ísraelsher hefur drepið yfir 60.000 Palestínumenn á Gaza frá því að hann hóf árásir sínar 7. október 2024, til að hefna mannskæðrar hryðjuverkaárásar Hamas í Ísrael þann sama dag. Árásir hersins, bæði úr lofti og á jörðu niðri, hafa staðið linnulítið allar götur síðan, ef undan er skilið tveggja mánaða vopnahlé sem hófst 19. janúar og Ísraelar rufu 18. mars. Í mars lokuðu Ísraelar líka á nánast alla aðflutninga hjálpargagna til Gaza, hvort sem það voru matvæli, lækningavörur eða annað, sem þá höfðu reyndar margoft verið takmarkaðir áður. Vegna þessa hefur ítrekað verið varað við yfirvofandi hungursneyð á Gaza og í dag sendi alþjóðlegi samráðshópurinn IPC, sem fylgist skipulega með hungri í heiminum, frá sér skýrslu, þar sem ástandinu þar er lýst sem hungri í sinni verstu mögulegu mynd. Það er í raun lagt að jöfnu við hungursneyð, og matvælaáætlun Sameinuðu þjóðanna segir ástandið ekki eiga sér neina hliðstæðu á þessari öld og minna mest á hungursneyðina í Eþíópíu og Bíafra á síðustu öld. Skýrslur eins og sú sem IPC sendi frá sér í morgun leiða iðulega til þess að auðveldara verður fyrir alþjóðastofnanir og alþjóðleg hjálparsamtök að koma þeim sem svelta til hjálpar. Staðan á Gaza er aftur á móti töluvert frábrugðin því sem slíkar stofnanir og samtök eiga að venjast, segir Gísli Rafn Ólafsson, framkvæmdastjóri Rauða krossins á Íslandi, og Margrét Sigurðardóttir Blöndal barnalæknir segir hungursneyð alltaf bitna verst á þeim sem viðkvæmust eru fyrir, svo sem börnum og öldruðum.

Let's be real—every shop says they make quality parts. But doing it consistently? That's a whole different game. In this episode of the MakingChips Machine Shop MBA series, we break down what it actually takes to build—and sustain—excellence in quality control. From quoting parts you can actually make, to in-process inspections, to how your shipping paperwork could delay your cash flow, this episode covers the full spectrum. We dive into real-world strategies for building quality into every step of the process—from the first RFQ to the final shipment. We talk about ownership, team structure, risk-based IPC strategies, final inspections, and how a simple $100 reward created a culture of accountability on the shop floor. Whether you're building your first quality system or tightening up an already dialed-in process, this conversation will challenge you to think beyond just tolerances and calipers. You'll hear how quality isn't just about measuring—it's about quoting smarter, communicating across departments, and building a shop culture where excellence is everyone's job. This episode is packed with sharp insights and real-world stories from three shop leaders who know what it takes to deliver consistent, swit-level quality.

This Week in Pharmacy – July 25, 2025 Episode Summary: This week, we spotlight a growing but often overlooked threat to patient safety and healthcare integrity: the diversion of non-controlled substances. While most discussions around drug diversion focus on controlled substances, a troubling pattern has emerged involving medications not classified as controlled—yet still susceptible to misuse, theft, and exploitation. Our guest is Alan McGill, a Senior Supervisory Special Agent with over 30 years of investigative experience, including 23 years in law enforcement. Agent McGill is a nationally recognized expert on drug diversion, having trained thousands across healthcare and law enforcement. In this episode, he sheds light on how non-controlled substances are being diverted within healthcare settings, why it's happening more frequently, and what pharmacies and healthcare systems must do to detect and prevent it. We explore: Common myths about non-controlled medications and diversion risk Real-world cases and investigative red flags Compliance blind spots in retail and institutional pharmacy settings Actionable recommendations for pharmacists, techs, and healthcare leadership The role of education, oversight, and reporting in stopping this silent epidemic Plus, Agent McGill discusses his work with NASCSA and offers insight into how national policy and local practices can align to protect both patients and professionals. Don't miss this essential conversation for pharmacy leaders, compliance officers, and healthcare professionals committed to medication safety.

Pablo Fernández de Mosteyrín repasa en Radio Intereconomía las claves del momento en los mercados. Desde la influencia de Donald Trump y las tensiones con la Reserva Federal hasta las represalias comerciales aprobadas por la Comisión Europea, pasando por la mejora del índice IFO alemán y la moderación del IPC en Tokio. También comenta los últimos resultados empresariales, con Alphabet sorprendiendo al alza, mientras Tesla decepciona y advierte sobre trimestres complicados. En España, el foco está en compañías como Almirall y Neinor Homes.

Bruselas presenta unos presupuestos para el periodo que va de 2028 hasta 2024 de casi 2 billones de euros, el 1,26% del PIB.. Alemania ya ha dicho que los rechazará al igual que Países Bajos que suelen rechazar cualquier incremento de las cuentas comunitarias. “El presupuesto planteado es muy alto”, dicen desde La Haya. Para los países del sur, sin embargo, se quedan cortas.. esperaban que llegará al 2% del PIB aunque lo más importante es que los programas tradicionales de fondos estructurales (cohesión, fondo social) o la política agraria pasarán ahora a integrarse en planes nacionales que deberían incluir estas políticas. La inflación de la zona euro se ha situado en el 2% en junio, lo que supone un repunte de una décima. Aún así, el IPC continúa en línea con el objetivo del BCE. Novartis lanza una recompra de acciones de hasta 10.000 millones de dólares y eleva su previsión de beneficios para 2025 y Volvo se dispara un 10% tras presentar unos resultados del segundo trimestre sólidos pero con una sorpresa, un cambio de políticas frente a los aranceles. Hablaremos con Ignacio Mazo, de BTS, del papel del liderazgo en un momento en que la incertidumbre global impacta directamente en la toma de decisiones empresariales. En la Tertulia de Cierre de Mercados debatiremos la actualidad con Francisco Canós, inversor y partner en Cyber-C, y Pedro Fernández, abogado y profesor.

Joaquín robles, director de Ventas de Banco BIG, analiza con lupa el dato de producción industrial de EE.UU de junio, el IPC, la balanza comercial de la Eurozona y la situación actual en Reino Unido.

Las bolsas europeas operan mixtas el miércoles y los futuros de Wall Street se lo toman con calma. Hay cautela entre los inversores ante, por ejemplo, los indicios de que los aranceles estadounidenses podrían causar inflación. El dato de ayer de IPC llevó al mercado a reducir sus expectativas de recortes de tipos de interés por parte de la Reserva Federal. Hoy hay más referencias de precios. Se conocen los de producción. En deuda, el rendimiento del bono alemán a 10 años cotiza plano al 2,70% y su par estadounidense baja al 4,47% desde los máximos tocados en la sesión anterior. La atención gira también sobre los resultados, en especial los de grandes bancos como Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley y Bank of America. En las materias primas, los precios del crudo bajan levemente, ya que las señales de un mayor consumo petrolero en China se ven superadas por la cautela de los inversores sobre el impacto económico de los aranceles. El oro mejora un 0,5%, a 3.338 dólares la onza. Lo analizamos todo con José Basagoiti, de Trading Pro.

¿Qué tal? Buenas tardes, viernes 27 de junio. Y aquí estamos, ya llegó. Primer fin de semana de operación salida de verano, marcado por el repunte de los precios y por las altas temperaturas. Hoy hemos conocido el IPC adelantado del mes de junio que sube hasta el 2,2% por el encarecimiento de las gasolinas y los alimentos. Se rompen así tres meses de descensos en el dato interanual justo a las puertas de las vacaciones, época además de grandes desplazamientos.

The electronics industry has reached a pivotal moment of transformation, and leading the charge is a familiar organization with a brand new identity. In this revealing conversation, John Mitchell, President and CEO, announces the rebrand of IPC as the Global Electronics Association – a name that finally captures the true essence of the organization."The name literally represents who we are and what we've been doing for some time," Mitchell explains, addressing how the former acronym – while iconic in standards and certification – created confusion among media, policymakers, and those less familiar with the association's evolution since its founding in 1957. The new identity boldly declares its worldwide reach while clarifying its comprehensive role across the entire electronics ecosystem.This rebrand represents more than just a name change. It signals a significant inflection point with substantial investments in global operations, advocacy, industry intelligence, and communications. With a refined vision of "better electronics for a better world" and a streamlined mission focused on supply chain resilience and industry growth, the association is positioning itself at the critical intersection of global and regional interests. As Mitchell notes, "A global supply chain is also made up of regional capabilities."What makes this transformation particularly powerful is how it embraces the connected nature of modern electronics. The Global Electronics Association now represents every segment of the supply chain – from semiconductor manufacturers to OEMs and everything in between – creating a unified voice for an industry that powers virtually every aspect of modern life. Ready to be part of this evolution?

Mexico's electronics has always been one of the main events at APEX, but this year they are doubling down! I explore the journey of IPC Mexico and their first-ever dedicated pavilion at Apex after 25 years of Mexican participation at the show. Lorena Villanueva, the dynamic leader of IPC Mexico, reveals their groundbreaking "three-helix" strategy that's reshaping their position in the Mexican electronics landscape. By forging deep partnerships between state governments (including aerospace hub Querétaro and automotive electronics center Guanajuato), academic institutions, and industry leaders, IPC Mexico has created a powerful ecosystem that drives education, innovation and growth throughout the region.What truly sets IPC Mexico apart is their authentic approach to community building. "We are huggers," Lorena explains, highlighting how cultural understanding and personal connections have been game-changers in their success. Rather than imposing American methodologies, IPC has empowered their Mexican team to develop strategies that resonate locally while maintaining global best practices. This cultural intelligence has transformed IPC from being perceived as a foreign entity to becoming a truly Mexican association in just the past 12 months.The future looks bright as IPC Mexico continues hosting regional events that facilitate networking and knowledge-sharing in comfortable, open environments. Their commitment to supporting both members and the broader industry demonstrates how international organizations can achieve global excellence through local relevance. Want to see how genuine connection and cultural understanding can transform an industry?

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina na leo ikiwa ni siku ya kimataifa ya kupinga utumikishaji wa watoto ambapo shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kazi duniani, ILO, linasema maudhui ni Maendeleo yako dhahiri, lakini bado kuna mengi ya kufanya: Hebu tuongeze kasi. Tunakupeleka nchini Tanzania kumulika harakati za kuwaepusha watoto kutumikishwa.Watu waliolazimika kukimbia makazi yao kutokana na vita, ukatili na mateso duniani kote imefikia kiwango cha juu kisichovumilika, hasa wakati huu ambapo ufadhili wa misaada ya kibinadamu unapungua kwa kasi. Kwa mujibu wa Ripoti ya Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia wakimbizi UNHCR iliyotolewa leo kuhusu mwelekeo wa Ulimwengu, kufikia mwisho wa Aprili mwaka huu, kulikuwa na watu milioni 122.1 waliolazimika kuhama kwa nguvu, ikilinganishwa na watu milioni 120 mwaka uliopita katika kipindi kama hicho.Ikiwa leo ni Siku ya Kimataifa ya kupinga ajira kwa watoto, utafiti uliofanywa na mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa lile la kazi duniani, ILO na la kuhudumia Watoto UNICEF unaonesha licha ya hatua zilizopigwa, ajira kwa watoto bado inaathiri watoto milioni 138 duniani kote, kati yao milioni 54 wakifanya kazi hatarishi ambazo zinaweza kuhatarisha afya yao, usalama wao au maendeleo yao kwa ujumla.Nchini Sudan Kusini watu wako katika hatari ya njaa katika miezi ijayo, kutokana na kuongezeka kwa mapigano katika jimbo la Upper Nile. Utafiti mpya kutoka katika Mfumo wa Uainishaji wa Viwango vya Uhakika wa Chakula (IPC) unaonesha kudorora kwa hali ya chakula na lishe katika maeneo ya Sudan Kusini yaliyoathiriwa na mapigano katika miezi ya karibuni.Na katika kujifunza lugha ya Kiswahili hii leo mchambuzi wetu mlumbi wa Kiswahili Joramu Nkumbi kutoka nchini Tanzania, anafafanua maana ya maneno "MBEUZI, MNYWANYWA NA MACHAGU.”Mwenyeji wako ni Flora Nducha, karibu!

Europe's defense industrial base stands at a critical inflection point. Military experts warn we have just three to five years to strengthen Europe's defense capabilities before facing potentially devastating security challenges.I talked about these trends and the European response with Kitron Group's President and CEO, Peter Nilsson and Managing Director of Kitron AS, Hans Petter Thomassen, who participated in the “Implementation Dialogue on EU Defence” with Commissioner Andrius Kubilius, held in Brussels recently.The European Commission recognizes this urgency. They've initiated an "omnibus" bill aimed at helping defense manufacturers ramp up production quickly, bringing together industry leaders from major prime contractors to innovative startups developing cutting-edge battlefield technologies. But the challenges are enormous.Most electronics components, semiconductors, and specialized materials used in European defense systems come from outside the continent. While stockpiling strategic materials for several years provides a short-term solution, the long-term challenge of rebuilding secure supply chains remains daunting. For specialized materials like munitions chemicals, new production facilities require five years just for permitting and environmental studies.Regional responses vary dramatically across Europe. Countries feeling immediate threat – the Nordics, Baltics, Poland, and Germany – are leading with bold procurement initiatives and defense budgets approaching 5% of GDP. These long-term commitments provide the certainty manufacturers need for major capacity investments.Perhaps most exciting is the rise of defense technology startups across Eastern Europe. From drone innovations to laser targeting systems, these companies bring battlefield-ready solutions developed with real-world urgency. As one Ukrainian defense official emphasized: "A system you can provide me two years from now has zero interest – I need something for tomorrow."The war in Ukraine accelerates these trends, serving as both catalyst for action and testing ground for technologies. Defense donation programs deliver immediate battlefield feedback on new systems, strengthening the innovation cycle.Want to explore how these defense industry transformations might affect your business? Join us at the upcoming IPC defense event in Brussels on June 10th, where industry leaders will be tackling these critical challenges head-on.MADE IN EUROPE is an IPC Podcast, produced by SCOOPEMS@C-Level is sponsored by global inspection leaders Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Creative Electron (https://creativeelectron.com) You can see video versions of all of the EMS@C-Level pods on our YouTube playlist.

A new history of Middle East oil and the deep roots of American violence in Iraq. Iraq has been the site of some of the United States' longest and most sustained military campaigns since the Vietnam War. Yet the origins of US involvement in the country remain deeply obscured--cloaked behind platitudes about advancing democracy or vague notions of American national interests. Historian Brandon Wolfe-Hunnicutt's work, The Paranoid Style in American Diplomacy: Oil and Arab Nationalism in Iraq (Stanford University Press, 2021) exposes the origins and deep history of U.S. intervention in Iraq. The Paranoid Style in American Diplomacy weaves together histories of Arab nationalists, US diplomats, and Western oil execs to tell the parallel stories of the Iraq Petroleum Company and the resilience of Iraqi society. Drawing on new evidence--the private records of the IPC, interviews with key figures in Arab oil politics, and recently declassified US government documents--Wolfe-Hunnicutt covers the arc of the 20th century, from the pre-WWI origins of the IPC consortium and decline of British Empire, to the beginnings of covert US action in the region, and ultimately the nationalization of the Iraqi oil industry and perils of postcolonial politics. American policymakers of the Cold War-era inherited the imperial anxieties of their British forebears and inflated concerns about access to and potential scarcity of oil, giving rise to a "paranoid style" in US foreign policy. Wolfe-Hunnicutt deconstructs these policy practices to reveal how they fueled decades of American interventions in the region and shines a light on those places that America's covert empire-builders might prefer we not look. Brandon Wolfe-Hunnicutt is Associate Professor of Modern Middle Eastern History and American Foreign policy at California State University, Stanislaus. Saman Nasser holds an M.A. in World History from James Madison University, where he currently works as an administrative staff. Learn more about your ad choices.

Economic uncertainty looms large over the manufacturing landscape as tariffs, interest rates, and geopolitical tensions reshape global supply chains. The slight contraction in Q1 economic growth masks an underlying reality - demand remains relatively stable, but manufacturers face difficult decisions about where and when to invest in new capacity. I unpack this and so much more with IPC Chief Economist, Shawn Dubravac.Tariff uncertainty has become a permanent feature rather than a temporary disruption. What began as a negotiation tactic appears to be transforming into a long-term strategic tool, with 10% tariffs likely representing the floor rather than a temporary measure. This new normal is driving dramatic shifts in manufacturing locations, with smartphone imports from India to the US jumping from 12% to 28% in just one year as companies diversify away from China. According to IPC sentiment data, 17% of electronics firms are actively seeking new manufacturing capacity in the US, with others looking toward Mexico, Europe, and Southeast Asia.Two sectors stand out as bright spots amid the uncertainty. Defense spending in Europe has surged in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions, creating substantial opportunities for manufacturers serving this market. Simultaneously, we're witnessing unprecedented investments in AI infrastructure, particularly in the Gulf region, where massive data center projects are being announced. These twin forces of defense and AI are creating pockets of high growth even as traditional electronics sectors face headwinds.Companies that can build agility into their global operations while positioning themselves in these growth sectors will find themselves well equipped to navigate the challenging landscape. Rather than waiting for clarity that may never arrive, successful manufacturers are developing strategies to thrive amid ongoing uncertainty. Listen now to gain crucial insights into where the electronics manufacturing industry is headed for the remainder of 2025 and beyond.EMS@C-Level is sponsored by global inspection leaders Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Creative Electron (https://creativeelectron.com) You can see video versions of all of the EMS@C-Level pods on our YouTube playlist.

Nearly half a million people in Gaza now face starvation, according to a new report from the IPC, the international panel of famine experts who advise the United Nations.For more than ten weeks, Israel has halted the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza, to pressure Hamas to release Israeli hostages. Israel accuses Hamas of seizing aid, selling it on the black market and using aid distribution to reinforce its control of Gaza.The UN says hundreds of truckloads of lifesaving supplies are waiting at the border. Meanwhile, inside Gaza, food is scarce. Humanitarian groups like the UN World Food Programme (WFP) exhausted supplies of basic staples weeks ago, forcing them to shut down their kitchens and bakeries, and everyday Palestinians are grinding up pasta and lentils to make flour for bread. Antoine Renard of the WFP says when he was in Gaza last week, wheat flour was selling for $10 a pound. Juana Summers talks with Renard about what he's seen in Gaza, and what's next for the people there.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Legal reporter Jeremy Sharon and news editor Amy Spiro join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Yesterday, the United Nations-linked Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) organization said in a “Special Snapshot” briefing that “the Gaza Strip is still confronted with a critical risk of famine,” and that “the entire population is facing high levels of acute food insecurity, with half a million people [one in five] facing starvation.” Israel has accused IPC of a “lack of transparency” with regards to the source of its data, and it said the IPC’s Special Snapshot failed to take into account “the massive volume of aid, especially food, that entered Gaza during the ceasefire.” Sharon weighs in. Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara on Tuesday ordered the military to begin sending conscription orders to all draft-age members of the ultra-Orthodox community at the start of the next recruitment cycle in July. How much authority does she have and will anything change? President Isaac Herzog on Monday became the first foreign leader to be hosted by new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, just six days after he took the helm of Germany’s government, with Berlin and Jerusalem marking 60 years of strong diplomatic ties. Spiro was there and reports back. Singers from 37 countries are now in Basel, Switzerland, for the annual Eurovision Song Contest this week.

Sovereignty won against Journalism in the 2025 Kentucky Derby this week! Pundits in Israel and all over the world are reading into this historic win.  On today's show, we explore the widely reported famine in Gaza and question whether or not there is any starvation there. The media and USAID has been claiming a famine in Gaza since the early days of the war, despite the UN-affiliated IPC not backing up their claims. Meanwhile, a real famine in Sudan, confirmed in August 2024, has received little to no coverage. We also examine reports of aid mismanagement by Hamas, disputed death tolls, and compare Gaza's hunger data to US malnutrition stats. From pallets of food spotted in Gaza to media trust in Hamas-released numbers, on today's show, we ask: what's real, and what's narrative warfare? Plus, we dive into Trump's upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia, major regional investments, and escalating tensions with Iran. Stay tuned as we cut through the noise to get to the truth.
