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?

"Si Irán cierra Ormuz, el petróleo saltará a 90-95 dólares: el mercado subestima ese riesgo". CrespoJuan Ignacio Crespo, economista,  destaca que no le sorprenden las ligeras caídas de los mercados pese al conflicto en Oriente Medio, calificando de "muy moderada" la subida del precio del petróleo. Según explica,  un repunte importante del crudo en el segundo semestre de 2025, algo que ahora se ve reforzado por las tensiones geopolíticas. “El precio del petróleo estaba destinado a repuntar; lo que ocurre en Oriente Medio no hace más que acelerar ese proceso”, sostiene. Crespo recuerda que en el primer año del mandato de Donald Trump, el petróleo tuvo un fuerte repunte del 56%, iniciándose prácticamente en las mismas fechas de junio. En esta ocasión, el repunte comenzó algo antes, lo que podría llevar el Brent a cotizar entre 90 y 96 dólares por barril si se sigue un patrón similar. “Si se repitiera el comportamiento de 2017, podríamos ver precios del petróleo entre 90 y 96 dólares”, resalta Crespo afirma que era previsible una reacción por parte de Estados Unidos en apoyo a Israel, y que a pesar de las vacilaciones y mensajes contradictorios de Donald Trump, lo fundamental era su intención de intervenir contra Irán, específicamente contra sus centros de enriquecimiento de uranio. Mantiene que lo inevitable era la intervención de EE.UU. en apoyo a Israel; Irán y su programa nuclear están en el centro del conflicto.Más allá del conflicto bélico, Crespo identifica como principal riesgo económico el aumento de aranceles previsto para el 9 de julio por parte de EE.UU., al finalizar el periodo de gracia anunciado por Trump. Señala que este movimiento podría tener un impacto inflacionario y afectar el comercio internacional, como ya se está viendo con la disminución del 20% en las salidas de barcos con contenedores desde China. Aunque anticipa cierta presión sobre el IPC estadounidense, Crespo considera que el escenario actual se asemeja al de 2017-2018, cuando los aranceles sobre el acero y aluminio elevaron la inflación al 2,9%. El efecto de una subida de los precios del petróleo podría ser similar al de aquel periodo.Además, Crespo cree que un cierre del Estrecho de Ormuz por parte de Irán, o el bloqueo de Yemen, podría agravar significativamente la situación del mercado petrolero. “El cierre del Estrecho de Ormuz elevaría de forma inmediata el precio del petróleo hasta el rango de 90-95 dólares”, sostiene. #iran #ormuz #petroleo #dolares #mercado #riesgo #eeuu #aranceles #inflación #useconomy #geopolitica #economia #negociostv #vizner Si quieres entrar en la Academia de Negocios TV, este es el enlace:   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd8Byi93KbnsYmCcKLExvQ/join Síguenos en directo ➡️ https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pSuscríbete a nuestro canal: https://bit.ly/3jsMzp2Suscríbete a nuestro segundo canal, másnegocios: https://n9.cl/4dca4Visita Negocios TV https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pMás vídeos de Negocios TV: https://youtube.com/@NegociosTVSíguenos en Telegram: https://t.me/negociostvSíguenos en Instagram: https://bit.ly/3oytWndTwitter: https://bit.ly/3jz6LptFacebook: https://bit.ly/3e3kIuy

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?

El presidente de la Junta, Juanma Moreno, ha vuelto a pedir hoy al del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, que dimita o que convoque elecciones. Así se ha pronunciado en Málaga antes de la reunión de la ejecutiva federal socialista, la primera sin Santos Cerdá tras su dimisión de la semana pasada por el presunto cobro de mordidas. Ante los cambios en el PSOE, Moreno ha hablado de modificaciones cosméticas ante un partido, ha añadido, atropellado por la corrupción. Mientras, desde el PSOE, en Radio Nacional de España, la número dos del gobierno y del PSOE y líder de los socialistas andaluces ha descartado la convocatoria de elecciones.El Ministerio de Defensa ha cesado de sus funciones a dos de los cuatro militares procesados por la muerte de un soldado y un cabo en unas maniobras en la base de Cerro Muriano en Córdoba. Se responde así, en parte, a las peticiones de las familias de los fallecidos. Uno de sus abogados espera el cese en las próximas horas de los otros dos procesados.Sindicatos y patronal del metal continúan reunidos en el SERCLA, para tratar de alcanzar un acuerdo en el convenio colectivo que afecta a más de 25.000 trabajadores de la provincia de Cádiz. El objetivo es evitar las jornadas de huelga los días 18 y 19, que pasaría a indefinida el 23. Los sindicatos consideran imprescindibles tres puntos de la negociación, entre ellos, una subida de los sueldos conforme al IPC.Y como cada lunes repasamos la actualidad deportiva regional en La Moviola.Escuchar audio

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.

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.

Listen to the theme-setting during the IPC all-church retreat 2025.

Hoy hablamos de la rentabilidad en deuda pública, los PMI, el IFO, el IPC del Reino Unido, la rebaja de tipos por parte de los bancos centrales, la pérdida de confianza en el dólar estadounidense como estándar global y la creciente presión sobre la FED para que elija entre la inflación y la inestabilidad financiera. Lo hacemos de la mano del analista independiente Alexis Ortega.

En entrevista para MVS Noticias con Ana Francisca Vega, José Luis Michelena, director ejecutivo de Médicos Sin Frontera México y Centro América, habló sobre que MSF lamenta la “ridícula” cantidad de ayuda que Israel permite para Gaza y advierte: la crisis humanitaria se agrava con bloqueos y ataques a hospitales. "Un poco los relatos que nos llegan desde nuestros equipos allá son uno más horrible que otro. Por un lado tenemos esta situación de hambre, de falta de alimentos; en la mañana estaba yo viendo el reporte del monitoreo del IPC, que este mecanismo multilateral para vigilar la desnutrición, y ya se habla de 22 por ciento de toda la población de Gaza en situación de catástrofe, que es el nivel más alto", dijo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Miguel Méndez, Analista independiente, comenta la actualidad de los mercados. El día comienza con la noticia del dato del IPC del Reino Unido, que aumenta de forma importante. En el otro lado del charco, el mercado está pasando por un proceso de recuperación, después de un inicio de año marcado por la incertidumbre. Para la opinión de Miguel Méndez, “ahora estamos en un momento de consolidación” y de cara al futuro, se muestra optimista ya que, según comenta, “el mandato de Jerome Powell que acaba en mayo del año que viene, va a ser el pistoletazo de salida”. Además, otros factores como la posible bajada de impuestos a las grandes corporaciones, podría influir en un repunte de las bolsas, “el mercado de estados unidos va a dar un tirón fuerte” asegura el experto financiero. Esta situación, crea un clima positivo para la inversión. Sobre cómo aprovechar esta situación, Méndez prefiere apostar por los valores concretos, en lugar de invertir en un ETF, a pesar de considerar a estos, “grandes productos para inversores más tranquilos”.

si le echas un vistazo y renuevas ahora te pueden subir como máximo un 2,09%, ya se ha sabido, cómo se calcula esto, bueno pues se tiene en cuenta el IPC pero también la inflación subyacente y la que se espera a medio plazo, se hace para evitar subidas desproporcionadas. Hablando del IPC ya sabemos que la gasolina ha estado más barata en abril, pero también la luz y eso ha hecho que los precios se hayan moderado un poquito, en concreto nos hemos quedado en el 2,2% que es el mejor dato desde octubre. Eso sí, comprarte un billete de avión para viajar por España es hoy más caro que hace un año y ...

Llega un momento en el que ya te haces lío. Con jamón, jamón, jamón. Bueno, jueves, es 15 de mayo. Estás escuchando Cadena 100. Buenos días, Mar Amate. Buenos días, Javi Nieves. ¿Y con qué nos despertamos hoy? José Real, buenos días. Hola Javi, hola Mar, ¿qué tal? Buenos días. Si estás de alquiler, ya sabes que a partir de ahora lo que te pueden subir viene determinado por un nuevo índice. En resumen, si estás de alquiler y renuevas ahora te puede subir como máximo un 2,09%. ¿Cómo se calcula esto? Bueno, pues se tiene en cuenta el IPC, pero también la inflación subyacente y la que se espera a ...

Lo que sabemos es que todo empezó, el apagón digo, en Badajoz, Sevilla y Granada y que todo apunta a una sobretensión, dice, en estas tres provincias casi a la vez. Hablando de luz, el precio ha bajado y la gasolina no hace falta que te diga que también. Por eso el IPC del mes pasado se moderó un poquito, se quedó en el 2,2%. También baja el aceite, pero el chocolate, oye, sigue subiendo. Como dato, mirando ahora las vacaciones de verano, comparados con los precios de hace un año, comprarte un billete de avión para viajar dentro de España nos sale hoy más caro. ¿Qué sabemos del incendio en ...

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.

Lola Jaquotot, responsable de renta variable en Finaccess Value Agencia de Valores, nos presenta la estrategia Finaccess Compromiso Social Europa. Sobre el estado del mercado, después de todas las políticas de Trump y los acuerdos ahora alcanzados, la invitada piensa que “después de la volatilidad volvemos al punto de partida”. Además añade que “los índices europeos otra vez superando máximos anuales y en Wall Street con el Nasdaq recuperando un 20%. Otro de los temas que condicionan al mercado es la decisión de tipos de la Reserva Federal. Sobre esto, Lola Jaquotot opina que “ese mantenimiento de tipos y sobre todo la decisión de decir que no hay urgencia para reanudar con los recortes de tipos se vio reforzado por el dato de IPC”. Asegura que “en Estados Unidos no hay mayor presión para bajar tipos”. Desde Finaccess Value Agencia de Valores piensan que el mercado se va a centrar en los datos macro y en los resultados empresariales. ¿Cómo es la estrategia Finaccess Compromiso Social Europa? Es un fondo que tiene como objetivo inversiones sostenibles que buscan contribuir al desarrollo sostenible, inclusivo e igualitario, invirtiendo en compañías que hacen grandes apuestas por el compromiso social. Lola Jaquotot nos explica que “es un fondo que es de renta variable pura europea, que tiene que pasar unos criterios exigentes con compañías que tienen un gran impacto social”.

Episode Summary Afreenish Amir, Ph.D., Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Project Director at the National Institute of Health in Pakistan, highlights significant increases in extensively drug-resistant typhoid and cholera cases in Pakistan and discusses local factors driving AMR in Asia. She describes the development and implementation of a National Action Plan to combat AMR in a developing country, emphasizing the importance of rational antimicrobial use, surveillance and infection control practice. Ashley's Biggest Takeaways AMR is a global and One Health issue. Pakistan has a huge disease burden of AMR. Contributing factors include, but are not limited to, overcrowding, lack of infection control practices, poor waste management practices and over-the-counter prescription practices. Promoting the rational use of antimicrobials is imperative at all levels—from tertiary care to primary care practitioners. Typhoid and cholera are high-burden infections in Pakistan, with typhoid being a year-round issue and cholera being seasonal. A holistic approach, involving various sectors and disciplines, is necessary in order to address the global AMR threat. Amir highlights the need for better communication and collaboration to bridge gaps and build trust between different organizations. Featured Quotes: I've been working at the National Institutes of Health for the last 7 years now. So, I've been engaged in the development and the implementation of the national action plan on AMR, and that gave me the opportunity to explore the work in the field of antimicrobial resistance. Reality of AMR in Pakistan [Pakistan] is an LMIC, and we have a huge disease burden of antimicrobial resistance in the country right now. A few years back, there was a situational analysis conducted, and that has shown that there is presence of a large number of resistant pathogens within the country. And National Institutes of Health, they have started a very standardized surveillance program based upon the global antimicrobial use and surveillance system back in 2017. And [those datasets have] generated good evidence about the basic statistics of AMR within the country. So, for example, if I talk about the extensively drug-resistant typhoid, typhoid is very much prevalent in the country. Our data shows that in 2017 there were 18% MDR typhoid cases through the surveillance data. And in 2021 it was like 60%. So that has shown that how the resistance has increased a lot. A number of challenges are associated with this kind of a thing, overcrowded hospitals, poor infection prevention and control (IPC) measures. So, there is AMR within the country—there's a huge burden—and we are trying to look for the better solutions.  Local Factors Driving AMR Bacteria, they do not know the borders. We have a close connection with the other Asian countries, and we have a long border connected with the 2 big countries, which are Afghanistan and India and Bangladesh and China. So, we see that it's not limited to 1 area. It's not regional. It's also a history of travel. When the people travel from one area to the other, they carry the pathogen as a colonizer or as a carrier, and they can infect [other] people. So, it's really connected, and it's really alarming as well. You never know how the disease is transmitted, and we have the biggest example of COVID—how things have spread from 1 country to the other, and how it has resulted in a massive pandemic. AMR is similar. We have seen that it's not limited to 1 region. We are part of this global community, and we are contributing somehow to the problem. First, I'll talk about the health care infrastructure. We do have the capacities in the hospitals, but still, there's a huge population. Pakistan is a thickly populated country. It's a population of around 241 million. And with the increasing population, we see that the infrastructure has not developed this much. So now the existing hospitals are overcrowded, and this has led to poor infection control practices within the hospitals. The staff is not there. In fact, ID consultants are not available in all the hospitals. Infection control nurses are not available in all the hospitals. So, this is one of the main areas that we see, that there is a big challenge. The other thing that can contribute is the poor waste management practices. Some of the hospitals—private and public sectors—they are following the waste management guidelines—even the laboratories. But many of the hospitals are not following the guidelines. And you know that AMR is under one health. So, whatever waste comes from the hospital eventually goes to the environment, and then from there to the animal sector and to the human sector. [Another big] problem that we are seeing is the over-the-counter prescription of antimicrobials. There is no regulation available in the country right now to control the over-the-counter prescription of antibiotics. They are easily available. People are taking the antibiotics without a prescription from the doctors, and the pharmacist is giving the patients any kind of medicine. And either it is effective/not effective, it's a falsified, low-quality antibiotic for how long in duration antibiotic should be taken. So, there are multiple of things or reasons that we see behind this issue of AMR. Rational Use of Antimicrobials It is a complex process how we manage this thing, but what we are closely looking at in the country right now is that we promote the rational use of antimicrobials at all levels—not only at the tertiary care levels, but also at the general practitioner level. They are the first point of contact for the patients, with the doctors, with the clinicians. So, at this point, I think the empirical treatment needs to be defined, and they need to understand the importance of this, their local antibiograms, what are the local trends? What are the patterns? And they need to prescribe according to those patterns. And very recently, the AWaRE classification of WHO, that is a big, big support in identifying the rational use of antimicrobials—Access, Watch and Reserve list—that should be propagated and that should be understood by all the general practitioners. And again, I must say that it's all connected with the regulations. There should be close monitoring of all the antibiotic prescriptions, and that can help to control the issue of AMR. National Action Plan on AMR So, when I joined NIH, the National Election plan had already been developed. It was back in 2017, and we have a good senior hierarchy who has been working on it very closely for a long period of time. So, the Global Action Plan on AMR, that has been our guiding document for the development of the national action plan on AMR, and we are following the 5 strategic objectives proposed in the global action plan. The five areas included: The promotion of advocacy and awareness in the community and health care professionals. To generate evidence through the data, through the surveillance systems. Generation of support toward infection prevention and control services IPC. Promoting the use of antimicrobials both in the human sector and the animal sector, but under the concept of stewardship, antimicrobial consumption and utilization. Invest in the research and vaccine and development. So, these are some of the guiding principles for us to develop the National Action Plan, and it has already been developed. And it's a very comprehensive approach, I must say. And our institute has started working on it, basically towards recreating awareness and advocacy. And we have been successful in creating advocacy and awareness at a mass level. Surveillance We have a network of Sentinel surveillance laboratories engaged with us, and they are sharing the data with NIH on a regular basis, and this is helping NIH to understand the basic trends on AMR and what is happening. And eventually we plan to go towards this case-based surveillance as well, but this is definitely going to take some time because to make people understand the importance of surveillance, this is the first thing. And very recently, the Institute and country has started working towards the hospital acquired infection surveillance as well. So, this is a much-needed approach, because the lab and the hospital go hand in hand, like whatever is happening in the lab, they eventually reach the patients who are in the hospitals. Wastewater surveillance is the key. You are very right. Our institute has done some of the work toward typhoid and cholera wastewater surveillance, and we were trying to identify the sources where we are getting these kinds of pathogens. These are all enteric pathogens. They are the key source for the infection. And for the wastewater surveillance mechanism, we can say that we have to engage multiple stakeholders in this development process. It's not only the laboratory people at NIH, but we need to have a good epidemiologist. We need to have all the water agencies, like the public health engineering departments, the PCRWR, the environmental protection agencies who are working with all these wastewater sites. So, we need to connect with them to make a good platform and to make this program in a more robust fashion. Pathogens and Disease Burdon For cholera and typhoid within Pakistan, I must say these are the high burden infections or diseases that we are seeing. For typhoid, the burden is quite high. We have seen a transition from the multidrug-resistant pathogens to the extensively drug-resistant pathogens, which now we are left with only azithromycin and the carbapenems. So, the burden is high. And when we talk about cholera, it is present in the country, but many of the times it is seasonal. It comes in during the time of the small zone rains and during the time of floods. So, every year, during this time, there are certain outbreaks that we have seen in different areas of the country. So, both diseases are there, but typhoid is like all year long—we see number of cases coming up—and for cholera, it's mainly seasonal. Capacity Building and ASM's Global Public Health Programs Capacity building is a key to everything, I must say, [whether] you talk about the training or development of materials. I've been engaged with ASM for quite some time. I worked to develop a [One Health] poster in the local language to create awareness about zoonotic diseases. So, we have targeted the 6 zoonotic diseases, including the anthrax, including the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and influenza. And we have generated a very user-friendly kind of layout in the local language, trying to teach people about the source of transmission. What are the routes of transmission, if we talk about the CCHF? And then how this can be prevented. So, this was one approach. And then I was engaged with the development of the Learnamr.com. This is online platform with 15 different e-modules within it, and we have covered different aspects—talking about the basic bacteriology toward the advanced, standardized methods, and we have talked about the national and global strategies [to combat] AMR, One Health aspects of AMR, vaccines. So, it's a huge platform, and I'm really thankful to ASM for supporting the program for development. And it's an online module. I have seen that there are around more than 500 subscribers to this program right now, and people are learning, and they are giving good feedback to the program as well. We keep on improving ourselves, but the good thing is that people are learning, and they are able to understand the basic concepts on AMR.

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.

What happens when women bring their authentic selves to male-dominated technical fields? Transformative leadership emerges.At APEX 2025, I spoke with Jody Urquhart, the standup comedian and motivation speaker giving the keynote at IPC's Women in Electronics Reception, about her provocatively titled message, "This Would Be Funny If It Wasn't Happening to Me". Rather than adapting to traditional expectations, Jody advocates for women to leverage their natural strengths—empathy, emotional intelligence, and deep understanding—as competitive advantages in technical environments.The conversation unpacks a remarkable success story: a junior female engineer who rose to lead a major automotive facility simply by connecting authentically with her boss while male colleagues missed opportunities by prioritizing social dynamics over meaningful connection. This illustrates Jody's central thesis that belonging isn't about fitting in but about showing up as your complete self.We explore the business case for diversity beyond quotas or representation. As one design leader pointedly asked, "How could you design a product where 50% of the consumers are female without women on your team?" The answer lies in recognizing that diverse perspectives directly impact product quality and market success.Drawing from her background in stand-up comedy, Jody creates transformative experiences for organizations by helping teams recognize unconscious patterns—poor listening, disregarding others, procrastination—without triggering defensiveness. Her most profound insight may be that "the way you lead yourself is the same way you lead others," suggesting that self-compassion directly influences leadership effectiveness.Ready to discover how bringing your authentic self to work can transform your organization?

NOTE: This show was recorded on April 8th, days after President Trump's "Liberation Day" Tariffs had been announced, but before a 90 day pause was applied to those same reciprocal tariffs, apart from those on China. The comments and opinions reflect this point in time.Sweeping tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical tensions have manufacturers worldwide questioning their next move. What happens when no one can predict tomorrow's trade landscape? In this premiere episode of MADE IN EUROPE, an IPC Podcast, host Philip Stoten dives deep with Bo Lybaek of GPV Group A/S and Markus Aschenbrenner of Zollner Elektronik AG into the challenges facing EMS companies and their customers as they navigate the unpredictable waters of global trade tensions. Far from just reacting to headlines, these industry leaders reveal their strategic approaches to uncertainty."Most important thing is to stay calm, follow what is happening, and be agile when needed," shares Bo Lybaek, capturing the measured response many manufacturers are taking while awaiting clarity. Yet beneath this wait-and-see approach lies sophisticated preparation – from comprehensive supply chain data modeling to strategic global footprint development that has been years in the making and continues to be an imperative.The conversation reveals how current disruptions are accelerating an existing trend toward "region for region" manufacturing – a localized approach that provides greater resilience against cross-border complications. Both Bo and Markus offer fascinating insights into how they've built truly global operations that maintain agility through shared equipment platforms, standardized processes, and most importantly, consistent corporate culture.Perhaps most compelling is their perspective on Europe's position in this changing landscape. As Markus Aschenbrenner notes, "We need a strong European Union with real value for others to negotiate with." This includes not just the recently announced infrastructure investments, but critically, reducing bureaucracy that hinders competitiveness.Join us for this thought-provoking discussion that goes beyond tariff headlines to explore how leading manufacturers are building resilience in uncertain times.

A fascinating glimpse into the rapidly shifting landscape of global electronics manufacturing reveals dramatic contrasts between regional approaches and priorities. From India's emergence as the "poster child" for end-to-end electronics ecosystems to Europe's struggles with cohesive industrial policies, this conversation with IPC's Sanjay Huprikar, filmed on location at APEX 2025, illuminates the complex challenges and opportunities facing our industry.India stands at the precipice of transformational growth, with major semiconductor investments, a flourishing EMS sector, and revitalized PCB fabrication capabilities potentially creating a market of a billion consumers. Meanwhile, European electronics companies face a mixed landscape – dwindling PCB manufacturers but relatively robust EMS providers, increased defense spending, but a critical missing element: "a cohesive policy around how electronics manufacturing fits in the industrial base."The conversation highlights IPC's impact and influence across the world and Europe in particular, growing from a team of two to ten professionals driving unprecedented engagement with executives, engineers, and workforce development initiatives. European leaders are increasingly recognized within IPC, earning President's Awards and Board positions while strengthening the organization's truly global perspective. The UK's strong aerospace and defense focus has made it second only to the US in IPC certifications, demonstrating the critical importance of standards and training in high-reliability applications.Looking forward, IPC's ambitious agenda includes aerospace-focused events with Airbus and the European Space Agency, EMS Leadership Summits in the UK and Paris, and continued advocacy for comprehensive industrial policies that integrate electronics manufacturing strategies with workforce development, regulatory frameworks, and economic initiatives. These efforts address the universal concerns we all share – from responsible AI implementation to talent development and navigating political uncertainty. As Sanjay  notes, IPC is fundamentally about "interconnection" – bringing diverse stakeholders together to solve our industry's most pressing challenges.EMS@C-Level Live at APEX is sponsored by global inspection leaders Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Creative Electron (https://creativeelectron.com)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.
