The US presidential election looks as if it's coming down to the wire in a handful of battleground states. Neither Kamala Harris nor Donald Trump has established a clear lead, and that raises the question of whether, even in today's increasingly secular America, evangelical Christians could give former president Trump a crucial advantage in the rust belt. On the other hand, could his role in the demise of Roe v Wade tilt the race towards Harris? In this episode of Holy Smoke, Damian Thompson talks to Dr Melissa Deckman, CEO of the Public Religion Research Institute, a specialist in the influence of religion on US politics, and Justin Webb, presenter of BBC Radio 4's Today programme, widely respected as an impartial commentator on presidential campaigns. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Release Date: 04-10-23There has never been a bigger impact for Houndsmen than the WOLF. Houndsmen have had their futures and breeding programs altered, changed the way they hunt, changed areas they hunt, even moved their families to new areas of the country hundreds of miles away all because of the wolf. The Foundation For Wildlife Management (f4wm) is a group that is taking on the weaponized, politicized and mischaracterized issue of the invasion and impact of the Canadian Grey Wolf in the Northern Rocky Mountain Region. Justin Webb is the CEO for the f4wm. Justin saw the impact the wolf was making on native wildlife populations, how it was affecting recreation opportunities and destroying hunting opportunities in areas that were once teeming with wildlife. He was not willing accept that. He recognized that the wolf is a project that is weaponized by the anti hunting community, a political hot potato and was being forced down the throat of every hunter. His efforts have created an organization that has taken the issue straight on. The f4wm has worked with many sporting organizations and wildlife managers to put aggressive management plans in place that has reduced wolf numbers by over 1600 wolves and paid out over $1 million in reimbursement to hunters and trappers taking wolves.This is a must listen podcast for every Houndsman that is serious about preserving our lifestyle.

Rishi Sunak is considering weakening some of the government's key green commitments in a major policy shift. It could include delaying a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and phasing out gas boilers, multiple sources have told the BBC. The prime minister did not deny the reports, saying he was committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050 but in a "more proportionate way". Home Secretary Suella Braverman told Today's Justin Webb the “costs of achieving some of these arbitrary targets has to be taken into account”. While Sir Alok Sharma, who headed COP26 in Glasgow, spoke to Nick Robinson about what he wants to hear from the prime minister. By: John Walton Credit: PA Location: London, United Kingdom
At least 5,300 people are dead in the Libyan city of Derna after Storm Daniel on Sunday, which resulted in a dam bursting and a river of floodwater sweeping through the streets. With 10,000 people reported missing, the death toll is expected to rise. Today's Martha Kearney spoke to Libyan journalist Johr Ali about his friend, whose entire family was taken by the storm. Justin Webb also spoke to the BBC's International Editor Jeremy Bowen, who said getting aid to the people in need is made harder by the political tensions in the north African country, and to Dr Anas Barghathy, who travelled to the Derna region to volunteer.
Surgeons in Oxford have carried out the first womb transplant in the UK. The recipient was a 34-year-old woman, and the donor her 40-year-old sister, both of whom wish to remain anonymous. Doctors say both recovered well from surgery and the younger sister plans to have IVF this autumn, using embryos that she and her husband have in storage. A team of around 20 carried out the procedures, lasting around 17 hours, in adjoining operating theatres at the Churchill hospital in February. Today's Justin Webb speaks to the Chairman of Womb Transplant UK, who was the lead surgeon who retrieved the womb, Professor Richard Smith, and the surgeon who transplanted the womb, Isabel Quiroga.

Serial killer Lucy Letby was handed a whole life sentence on Monday at Manchester Crown Court for the murder of seven babies and attempted murder of six others at the neonatal care unit where she was a nurse. Today's Justin Webb speaks to Dr Stephen Brearey, who was the lead consultant on the unit where Letby worked and raised the alarm in October 2015. Dr Brearey claimed senior staff at the Countess of Chester Hospital were worried about reputational damage to the organisation, and that instead of acting on his warnings, he and his colleagues' lives were made 'very difficult'. He claimed his experience was not uncommon in the NHS.

Two-thirds of NHS cancer waiting time targets are expected to be dropped in England, in a move the health service says aims to catch cancers earlier. NHS bosses want to reduce the number of targets, most of which have been routinely missed in recent years, down to three. They say the plan is backed by leading cancer experts and will simplify the "outdated" standards. The changes have been under consultation since last year, and an outcome is expected within days. NHS leaders are understood to be keen to press on with the plan as first announced - but it is still subject to final approval by Health Secretary Steve Barclay. Today's Justin Webb speaks to Dr Tom Roques, Vice President of Clinical Oncology at the Royal College of Radiologists and a consultant oncologist, Professor Pat Price, visiting Oncology Professor at Imperial College, and co-founder of the 'catchup with cancer' campaign – which is focused on getting cancer waiting lists down, and to Steve Barclay, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.
There has never been a bigger impact for Houndsmen than the WOLF. Houndsmen have had their futures and breeding programs altered, changed the way they hunt, changed areas they hunt, even moved their families to new areas of the country hundreds of miles away all because of the wolf. The Foundation For Wildlife Management (f4wm) is a group that is taking on the weaponized, politicized and mischaracterized issue of the invasion and impact of the Canadian Grey Wolf in the Northern Rocky Mountain Region. Justin Webb is the CEO for the f4wm. Justin saw the impact the wolf was making on native wildlife populations, how it was affecting recreation opportunities and destroying hunting opportunities in areas that were once teeming with wildlife. He was not willing accept that. He recognized that the wolf is a project that is weaponized by the anti hunting community, a political hot potato and was being forced down the throat of every hunter. His efforts have created an organization that has taken the issue straight on. The f4wm has worked with many sporting organizations and wildlife managers to put aggressive management plans in place that has reduced wolf numbers by over 1600 wolves and paid out over $1 million in reimbursement to hunters and trappers taking wolves. This is a must listen podcast for every Houndsman that is serious about preserving our lifestyle. This is Fair Chase. www.f4wm.org www.houndsmanxp.com Check out the Sportsmen's Empire Podcast Network for more relevant outdoor content!
