What happens when progress comes at an unseen cost? Pakistani PhD researcher Momin Yar Khalid explores the human and environmental impacts of major infrastructure projects, drawing on his research into Lahore's Orange Line Metro Train. Momin discusses why progress must be considered beyond its immediate benefits and highlights the importance of understanding who bears the costs of development—and how those impacts shape communities over time. - مومن یار خالد ایک پاکستانی ہیں جو آسٹریلیا میں پی ایچ ڈی کی غرض سے مقیم ہیں اور ان کی تحقیق کا موضوع ''ماحولیاتی انصاف اور بنیادی ڈھانچے کے میگا پراجیکٹس: لاہور میں اورنج لائن میٹرو ٹرین بطور کیس اسٹڈی‘‘ ہے ان کی بنیادی تحقیق ان عوامل پر مبنی ہے جو ترقی کے بعد انسانی زندگی پر اثرات مرتب کرتے ہیں ۔ ان کا کہنا ہے کہ ترقی کے ہر منصوبے کے دیر پا اور نظر نہ آنے والے اثرات کا جائزہ لیا جانا بہت ضروری ہے#sbsaudiopodcast________________________________Explore more ways to listen to the Urdu program here: Listen to SBS Urdu. Install our mobile app “SBS Audio” on Apple (iPhone) or Android devices: SBS Audio App. Download on the Apple App Store; download on Google Play. Follow us on social media: SBS Urdu on Facebook and SBS Urdu on Instagram. - #sbsaudiopodcast______________ہر بدھ اور جمعہ کا پورا پروگرام اس لنک پرسنئے , اردو پرگرام سننے کے دیگر طریقے SBS Audio کے نام سے موجود ہماری موبائیل ایپ ایپل (آئی فون) یا اینڈرائیڈ , ڈیوائیسزپرانسٹال کیجئے۔ پوڈکاسٹ سننے کے لئے نیچے دئے اپنے پسندیدہ پوڈ کاسٹ پلیٹ فارم کا انتخاب کیجئے:  Spotify Podcast , Apple Podcasts

It's Tuesday, September 8th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson, Timothy Reed, and Adam McManus New Pakistani law prohibits marriage to girls under 18 The Lahore High Court in Pakistan has ruled that anybody living in a marital relationship with a girl under 18 will constitute child abuse even if the minor offers so-called “consent.” The ruling is intended to protect minority girls, especially Christians, from forced religious conversions and sexual abuse in forced marriages to Muslim men. The decision comes after the passage of the Punjab Child Marriage Restraint Act 2026. This is a welcome decision after court proceedings with Maria Shahbaz — a 13-year-old Christian girl who was kidnapped in Lahore a year ago, and was forcibly married to a 30-year-old Muslim man.  According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the 8th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Orthodox U.S. Jew harassed for hosting prayer group in home Here in the United States there's another religious persecution case. Back in 2021, Daniel Grand, an Orthodox Jewish homeowner in Cleveland, Ohio, emailed a group of friends, inviting them to his home on Saturdays for prayer. Apparently, he didn't want to walk to the local synagogue since Orthodox Jews are not allowed to drive on the Sabbath. Somehow Daniel's email made it to a city official, and he was told to “cease and desist,” unless he first obtained a “special use permit.” The city officials dubbed his home “an illegal synagogue.” Thankfully, Alliance Defending Freedom has taken up the case. Incredibly, the attorneys noted that, according to the city, “The only way for Daniel Grand to pray with friends at his home [is] to convert his home to a commercial space and move his family.” Conservative German party won 44 percent of seats in local election The Alternative for Germany Party won 44 percent of the seats in their local election in the state of Saxony-Anholt over the weekend, reports CBS News. That's the first time a nationalist, anti-immigration party has gained this much political ground since World War II. The Alternative for Germany Party is advocating for the deportation of immigrants — a position that is widely rejected in the rest of Germany right now. Twenty percent of Germans are foreign-born today. Nine years ago, that was 12 percent. The birth rate for German citizens is 1.2, whereas the current birth rate for foreign citizens living in Germany is 1.8. At this birth rate, the population of German citizens, without the benefit of immigration, would decrease from 71 million to 30 million in 50 years. With or without the Alternative for Germany Party, Germany is dying. Brazilian presidential election: Luiz da Silva vs. Flavio Bolsonaro The Brazilian presidential elections are approaching. The sitting president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, will face off against conservative Senator Flavio Bolsonaro.  Flavio is the son of Brazil's previous president, Jair Bolsonaro, who has been imprisoned by rival parties in the country. Polls indicate a tightening in the race — which may head into a runoff. Several South American countries have seen a shift to the right of center since U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January 2025.  Canadian welcome males, pretending to be females, in women's prisons The Canadian government is reiterating its support for males, pretending to be females, being housed in women's prisons. This comes after the government was challenged by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which contested the ruling that men could invade women's prisons upon request. According to the Canadian government's Statement of Defense, “The Directive is neutral in purpose, applies uniformly to all persons subject to it, and does not subject cisgender women inmates to differential treatment based on a protected ground or immutable characteristic.” However, Attorney Chris Fleury pointed out, “Female inmates are being exposed to real risks and real harm. This case is about protecting their safety, dignity, and constitutional rights.”  The Scriptures refer to cultural degradation. In 1 Kings 14:24, the Bible says, “And there were also perverted persons in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.” Trump drafts plan to pay at-home parents $9,000 per child The Trump administration is looking at applying a $9,000 per child subsidy to stay-at-home parents that would typically go to childcare for low-income working moms, reports NewsNation. The New York Times noted that the plan would create what could become the first federal grant program to directly compensate parents for staying at home to raise their children. This would be in addition to the current $2,200 per child tax credit available to families earning less than $400,000 per year. 2 percent of Jewish Americans now identify as Christians Recent Pew Research data finds that 2 percent of adults raised in the Jewish religion here in the United States now identify as Christians. Additionally, 17 percent identify as non-affiliated — or just secularists.   On the other hand, the move towards secularism seems to be one way in which ethnic Jews are moving towards Christianity. An earlier survey found that 19 percent of those of ethnic Jewish background now claim the Christian faith. Dutch race car driver saves fellow driver after fiery crash And finally, a Dutchman race car driver, Loek Hartog, saved the life of a fellow British driver during the China GT Championship race in Shanghai over the weekend, reports People Magazine.  Loek pulled over, jumped out of his car, and took a fire extinguisher to the burning Ferrari, before pulling Ollie Millroy, a British man, out of the conflagration. HARTOG: “What I saw was a huge fireball ahead, and I knew that whoever was in the car would not be able to carry himself out. So, I knew that I had to stop. That's basically pure intuition to get there as soon as possible inside. There was so much fire that, in first instance, I wasn't able to get to him. “But when I ran around the car to see if I could get him out that side, it was not possible. I saw that he didn't move, so I knew that he was either disoriented or not in a position to get himself out. So, I had a fire extinguisher nearby, so I could get the fire down a bit. I got him out, but it was a very scary minute.” Ollie suffered six broken ribs, a broken collar bone, fractures to his hands, and a bruised lung. The Good Morning Britain co-host said this. INTERVIEWER: “When we see the fireball, which we've been showing on our screen, you just told us that you assessed the situation. You couldn't get in. You've got a fire extinguisher to go back to try and get him out. Do you have any training? Are there any procedures?” HARTOG:  “No.” INTERVIEWER: “Couldn't the car have blown up with the petrol, ignited at that moment? I mean, isn't what you did incredibly dangerous for you and reckless?” HARTOG: “It was. For sure, it crossed my mind for five seconds. But it was just more important to get him out as soon as possible.” From his hospital bed, Ollie Millroy wrote, “I am still alive tonight, entirely thanks to one man. There were no fire marshals or fire crews in sight. … He risked his own life to get me out of the car. I don't remember anything between 30 seconds before the crash and 1 hour after it, but I will remember his incredible act of bravery for the rest of my life. One day I will tell our three kids this story and Loek will be the biggest superhero in history in their eyes too.” In John 15:13, Jesus said, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, September 8th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

What happens when a 21-year-old entrepreneur, AI engineer, and computer science graduate steps into one of the fastest-changing industries in the world?In this episode of Being Human, Hidden Depths, host Gill Tiney sits down with Zuhayr Ahmed, a young AI engineer and entrepreneur from Lahore, Pakistan, to explore his journey from gaming and fixing computers as a child to building businesses, developing AI solutions, and navigating the rapidly evolving world of technology.Zuhayr shares how his cousin inspired him to pursue computer science, how he built his first business with friends, and why he believes the future lies in moving from traditional service-based work toward product-based software businesses.The conversation also dives into one of the biggest questions of our time: Will AI replace people—or will it replace the people who refuse to adapt?Together, Gill and Zuhayr explore:

Pakistan, a country known for its conservative values, rarely makes waves in the music and entertainment industry. Yet in major cities like Karachi and Lahore, a quiet but thriving DJ scene is beginning to make itself heard, with emerging talents and artists transforming the music industry. At the heart of this evolution, more and more women are asserting themselves in a field largely dominated by men.

Sikhi is the religion of the underdog. And no Sikh in history embodied this more completely than Sultan ul Qaum Jathedar Jassa Singh Alhuwalia.Born fatherless into poverty during one of the darkest periods of Sikh history, Jassa Singh rose from feeding horses for the Budha Dal to being selected Panth Patshah by the Sarbat Khalsa. He conquered Lahore, sat on the Mughal throne in Delhi, fought Ahmad Shah Durrani face to face multiple times, and rebuilt the Darbar Sahib.This episode draws on Dr. Ganda Singh's definitive biography and primary Sikh, Afghan and Persian sources to tell the true story of Alhuwalia. Including the untold political intrigue of Jai Singh Kanihyaa's manipulation of the Misl system, the real story behind the Alhuwalia and Ramgarhia conflict, and what Jassa Singh's final political vision for Punjab actually was.As historian Hari Ram Gupta wrote, in the person of Jassa Singh Alhuwalia, the Guru actually made a sparrow kill hawks.This is the Sikh leader they forgot. This is The Sikh Renaissance.

Lucien (recording from Riyadh, mid-apartment move) and Hanna (in London, riding out an unlikely heat wave) open Episode 70 (!) catching up with each other. Between Arsenal's recent win of the Premier League title for the first time in 22 years, and the Seattle Seahawks winning the Super Bowl, it is the year of Championship Hanaa. She lives within earshot of the Emirates Stadium in Islington, her son knows every chant and every stat, and the neighborhood has been in full kit ever since. Hanna is also headed to Miami this summer for a World Cup match, though she'd have preferred the Egypt v. Iran fixture in Seattle — her kids are still in school. And the wins keep on coming: On June 3rd, she'll be co-hosting the 7th edition of the Middle East Sports Investment Forum in London. Before the main segment, the hosts share a piece of listener feedback that landed: a message on LinkedIn, from a listener who said The Twenty30 "was one of the most valuable sources of information they had when deciding whether to accept a job offer in Riyadh." That's the whole point of the show, and the hosts don't take it lightly.  Then, Lucien does a deep dive on Riyadh Air. Lucien frames it personally first: he's taken six flights in the last six weeks, lives an hour and a half from Dulles in D.C., and values a direct flight more than almost anything else in travel. Saudia currently holds the only nonstop service from Washington and New York into Riyadh, which should make it the obvious choice — except that Saudia's in-flight internet on long-haul routes is essentially non-functional. He's been routing through Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Dubai instead, noting that all three of those hubs have been noticeably quiet during the conflict. Every time he boards, the thought is the same: where is Riyadh Air? The answer is: closer than it looks. Riyadh Air received its GACA operating approval in February 2025 and operated its first flight — an invite-only Riyadh to London Heathrow service using a wet-leased Oman Air 787-9 — in April 2025. The commercial launch has been held up not by Riyadh Air but by Boeing. Seven fully built Riyadh Air 787-9s are currently sitting at Boeing's Charleston, South Carolina factory awaiting certification, with an eighth still on the final assembly line. The first A321neo delivery is expected in Q4 2026, with the 787 Dreamliners to follow. In January 2026, Riyadh Air locked in Neo Space Group as its WiFi provider for the A321neo fleet — Skywaves connectivity, up to 300 Mbps, free for Sphere loyalty members — layered on top of an existing Viasat contract for the 787 fleet that was signed in April 2025. The internet situation, in other words, is going to be the opposite of Saudia's. Qatar Airways already has Starlink and Lucien describes it as faster than his home connection. That's the bar -- let all airlines seek to best it! The initial network was leaked via Airport Coordination Limited and shows 15 destinations: Amman, Bangkok, Cairo, Dubai, Islamabad, Jakarta, Jeddah, Kuala Lumpur, Lahore, London Heathrow, Madrid, Manchester, Manila, Mumbai, and Paris. Washington, DC is not on the list :( Three of those routes — Madrid, Manchester, and Jakarta — would be nonstop firsts from Riyadh. Jeddah, Madrid, and Manchester were officially confirmed via Riyadh Air's social media on April 20th. In early May, the airline formally applied to the US Department of Transportation for a foreign air carrier permit with a request for expedited clearance — so DC may not be far behind. On May 19th, public ticket sales opened for the daily Riyadh to London Heathrow service launching July 1st. The aircraft will have four classes: Business Elite (four first-class suites on the first aircraft), Business (24 seats), Premium Economy (39 seats), and Economy. Hanaa flags premium economy as the sleeper feature. Qatar Airways doesn't offer it. British Airways isn't flying to Saudi at the moment. For families, or for anyone who can't justify business class on a personal trip, it fills a genuine gap. Lucien agrees — he's a last-minute booker and business class prices close to departure get punishing.  On the competitive landscape: Singapore Airlines announced four-times-weekly nonstop service from Singapore to Riyadh on the A350-900, scheduled to start June 2nd before being delayed by the conflict. That announcement read like a signal — Singapore Airlines effectively saying it wasn't going to let Riyadh Air own the premium international corridor into Saudi unchallenged. European carriers largely exited during the hostilities; Lufthansa pulled Lucien off a connecting flight in late January, rerouting him through London and adding a full day to his journey. British Airways still isn't flying to Saudi. The supply contraction has pushed prices up significantly on what routes remain. Riyadh Air stepping into this environment — with new aircraft, working internet, and routes that don't yet exist nonstop from Riyadh — is well-positioned (if it can seize the timing of this moment).  The workforce story is its own headline. Riyadh Air has received two million (two million!) applications across its hiring portals.  The hosts close the segment by zooming out. Airlines are structurally brutal businesses. What gives Riyadh Air a real edge, at least at launch, is route exclusivity and limited competition into Riyadh. As long as pricing is in range, travelers choose the direct. That simple fact, combined with Vision 2030's tourism and modernity goals, makes Riyadh Air something bigger than just an airline. King Khalid International Airport remained one of the most operationally open airports in the region during the conflict. The infrastructure is there. The aircraft are nearly there. Riyadh Air is coming. The episode wraps with a brief detour into domestic flying in Saudi — the Riyadh to Jeddah corridor, the high proportion of passengers in Ihram performing Umrah year-round, and genuine praise for Saudia's cabin crew and their quietly impressive ability to reshuffle seating at boarding so that women aren't seated next to unrelated men. Seamless, fast, and genuinely underappreciated. The one criticism of Saudia that neither host will let go: the internet!

It's Friday, May 22nd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Muslim man abducts and marries 14-year-old Christian girl A married Pakistani Muslim, 41-year-old Arshad Habib, who already had three wives, abducted a 14-year-old Christian girl on May 12th. He forcibly converted her to Islam and married her, exploiting her epilepsy and mental health vulnerabilities to sexually abuse her, reports Morning Star News. The girl's father, Abbas Masih, a daily wage laborer and member of a local Brethren church in Lahore, the Pakistani capital, said his daughter, Nisha, disappeared on May 12th while working as a domestic helper at a Muslim household. Police showed the father documents claiming Nisha had converted to Islam on February 15 and married Habib three days later. According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the eighth most oppressive country worldwide for Christians.  Send a two-sentence letter of objection to Pakistani Ambassador Rizwan Sheikh, Pakistan Embassy, 3517 International Court NW, Washington, D.C. 20008. Jeff Bezos: We don't have a tax problem. We have a spending problem. Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, gave CNBC co-anchor Andrew Sorkin a reality check on how ludicrous the Left's tax-the-rich scheme really is when measured up against the data during the May 20th edition of Squawk Box, reports NewsBusters.org. Sorkin tried cornering Bezos on the bevy of headlines in the media excoriating billionaires, decrying their wealth accumulation, and vilifying them for supposedly not paying their fair share in taxes. Bezos was not fazed. BEZOS: “I think what's going on is that it's kind of a tale of two economies. So, you have a bunch of people in this country who are doing really well. But you also have a bunch of people in this country who are struggling -- rent, groceries.  “A nurse in Queens, who makes $75,000 a year, pays more than $12,000 a year in taxes. Does that really make sense? How about we start by having the nurse in Queens not pay taxes at all.  “The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. The top 1% of taxpayers pay 40% of all the tax revenue. We don't have a revenue problem in this country. We actually have a spending problem.” Jeff Bezos gave an example of how spending more money is not necessarily an iron-clad guarantee of fixing a problem. BEZOS: “The New York City school system: They spend $44,000 per student. That's 30% more per student than other big cities like Chicago, L.A., and Boston. And it's three times more than Miami and Houston. By the way, New York City doesn't get better outcomes.  “If we ran Amazon the way New York City runs their school system, your packages would take six weeks to arrive, we'd have to charge you a $100 delivery fee, and then, when the package did finally arrive, it'd have the wrong item in it anyway.” Homosexual former Congressman Barney Frank died Former Democratic Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts, a self-avowed homosexual, died May 19th at the age of 86 after entering hospice care at his home in Maine last month due to congestive heart failure, reports The Western Journal. According to The New York Times, he came out of the sexual perversion closet publicly in an interview with The Boston Globe in the spring of 1987, saying, "If you ask the direct question: 'Are you gay?' the answer is: 'Yes. So what?' " He was the first open homosexual in Congress and the first one to be faux married in July 2012. Frank met his faux “husband,” Jim Ready, 30 years his junior, at a homosexual political fundraiser in Maine.   Appearing on NBC's Meet the Press in March 2015, Congressman Frank was asked this question by Chuck Todd. TODD:  “You're trying to answer this conundrum. Gay rights were once reviled publicly and Congress was revered. Now, those attitudes have flipped. How did that happen?” FRANK: “Our reality, as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people, beat the prejudice. The essential mechanism is there, that we stopped hiding. And it turned out we weren't what the stereotype was.  “There was a point when the notion that I could get married to Jim [Ready] while I was still in Congress, would have been the most bizarre possibility. And by the time I got married, someone said, ‘Well, was it controversial that you get married while you were still in Congress?' And the answer was, ‘Yes, it was. A lot of my colleagues were mad that they didn't get invited.'” TODD: (laughs) In an attempt to deflect from the importance of legislating morality on social issues, like homosexual faux marriage and abortion, Congressman Frank said, “The issue is not that morals be applied to public policy. It's that conservatives bring public policy to spheres of our lives where it should not enter.” But Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.” Barney Frank retired from Congress in 2013 and went on to serve as a political commentator, writer, and public figure. Colorado teacher prohibited 7th grader from reading pro-life poem in class And finally, a Colorado teacher at Drake Middle School refused to allow a seventh-grade student to present her pro-life poem in class because it was deemed “offensive,” reports LifeSiteNews.com. GIRL: “My teacher assigned an assignment in class to write a slam poem about a conflict in the world that we are passionate about. I chose life. I chose this topic because it's important to me and my family. In my poem, I met all of the criteria. I got reputable resources. And I included everything that I needed in my poem.” The opening of the 13-year-old's poem said, “A life is a life, no matter how small. Seventy-three million people have been killed in one year when they are completely innocent humans. They never get to see the light of day before they are cast away.  They did nothing wrong except exist and were dismissed. People say women need health care but never think how unfair. They kill baby for simply being there! The Word of God says [in Psalm 139:13], ‘You knit me together in my mother's womb.'  How come we never listen to this and try to send them to the tomb?” The teacher reportedly tried to kick the girl out of class during other students' presentations which slammed the Second Amendment and championed sexual perversion.  The girl's mother said her own mother became pregnant at age 14 and chose life, resulting in strong pro-life convictions in her own family.

Saadat Hasan Manto was not a writer who allowed anyone to stay comfortable. In this powerful conversation from Jashn-e-Rekhta, filmmaker Nandita Das and actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui join RJ Sayema to speak about bringing Manto's life, mind and contradictions to the screen.Nawazuddin reflects on playing Manto and the strange after-effect of carrying his honesty into real life. Nandita Das explains why the film stays rooted in the years around Partition, from 1946 to 1950, and how Manto's questions around identity, religion, nationalism, women and censorship continue to feel unsettlingly current.The conversation also goes behind the scenes of recreating 1940s Lahore, holding a creative line, and understanding Manto's writing as something plain, sharp and impossible to ignore. For anyone interested in Urdu literature, cinema, Partition stories, or the life of Saadat Hasan Manto, this is a rare and deeply revealing listen.

When we first sat down with Zainab Hasnain — DJ, producer, and writer FKA ZEEMUFFIN — back in 2022, she was already doing something remarkable: carving out space as a Pakistani immigrant woman in one of the most male-dominated creative industries in New York City. We're re-releasing this conversation now because a lot has changed since then, and we think it's worth revisiting. Since this episode was recorded, Zainab has played Boiler Room, Governors Ball, and Glastonbury. She opened for Palestinian-Chilean artist Elyanna across her sold-out North American Tour. She's been featured in the New York Times and appeared in the Gap's Summer Campaign. Original music is on the way. But this conversation is about how she got here — and it's just as compelling now as it was then. We talk about growing up between Lahore and Long Island, learning the viola, falling in love with punk and hip hop, and eventually trading a career in finance and tech for a pair of turntables. We get into what it means to be a Pakistani woman taking up space in DJ culture, the parallels between hip hop and immigrant identity, how gentrification threatens the authenticity of Black art forms, and why Zainab believes DJing is, at its core, an act of empathy. We also talk about food. Because on Immigrantly, we always talk about food. Join us in creating new intellectual engagement for our audience.

It's Monday, April 13th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Muslim threatened to kill Christian woman for not converting On Easter Sunday, in Muslim-majority Pakistan, police arrested a Muslim man accused of threatening to kill a Christian woman if she refused to convert to Islam and marry him, reports Morning Star News. Imran Masih in the Sahiwal District, said his 20-year-old niece, Laiba Javed, received a handwritten note from Rehman Irfan on April 2nd demanding that she convert to Islam and marry him by April 15th. In the note, Irfan warned that he would have her killed if she refused. Laiba, who works in Lahore, had returned to her ancestral village to celebrate Easter with relatives when she received the note. Masih said, “Irfan, [the Muslim man] who is a former schoolmate of Laiba, came to our house with two armed accomplices when she was alone. He handed her a letter at gunpoint stating that he loved her and would go to any extent to marry her after converting her.”  Not exactly the typical romantic gesture. Laiba immediately informed her family, who approached police. They booked him for issuing threats. Not surprisingly, she has since left the village due to safety concerns, though they remain worried about her security. According to a study by the Lahore-based Center for Social Justice, 515 cases of abduction and forced conversion involving minority women and girls were reported between 2021 and 2025. Hindu girls accounted for 69 percent or 353 cases, followed by Christian girls at 31 percent or 160 cases, while two cases involved Sikh victims. Additionally, more than half of the victims were between 14 and 18 years old, and about 20 percent were under 14. Religiously speaking, 96% of the Pakistani population is Muslim. Open Doors has documented that Pakistan is the eighth most oppressive country worldwide for Christians. Hegseth: “Iran begged for this ceasefire” On April 8th, War Secretary Pete Hegseth said Operation Epic Fury was a resounding success. HEGSETH: “Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it. As the president 'truthed' this morning, ‘A big day for world peace.' “Iran wants it to happen. They've had enough. Operation: Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield, a capital ‘V' military victory.” Iran peace talks underway as Vance arrives in Pakistan President Donald Trump said that talks with Iran have begun, adding that global oil shipping is finding alternatives to the Strait of Hormuz, reports NewsNation.com. Trump predicted the strait would reopen in the “not too distant future.” He warned that if negotiations do not go well, the U.S. is prepared to “reset,” saying, “We're ready to go.” The negotiations between the United States and Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan, on ending the six-week conflict are the first face-to-face talks between the two nations since 1979. Vice President J.D. Vance is leading the U.S. delegation, which also includes special Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff; Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner; and deputy national security adviser Dr. Andy Baker. Franklin Graham compares Trump to Biblical Esther On Good Friday, Rev. Franklin Graham prayed a powerful prayer at the White House as President Donald Trump stood behind him. GRAHAM: “Father, You tell us in the book of Esther that the Persians, the Iranians, were wanting to kill every Jew -- woman, child -- and do it all in one day. But You raised up Esther to save the Jewish people, Father, we thank you. “Today, the Iranians, the wicked regime of this government, wants to kill every Jew and destroy them with an atomic fire. But You have raised up President Trump. You've raised him up for such a time as this. And Father, we pray that You'll give him victory.” In Esther 4:14, Esther's guardian Mordecai, concerned about the fate of the Jews in light of Haman's threats, said, “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” Franklin Graham concluded his prayer at the White House with these words. GRAHAM: “Father, we pray for our military that you'd watch over and protect them. Father, we pray for the people of Iran who want freedom to be set free from these Islamic lunatics. “Father, we thank you for Your Son, Jesus Christ, who came to this earth to take our sins, that He died and shed His blood on a cross for our sins, that He was buried. He took our sins to the grave, but You raised Him to life. Father, we thank You and we praise You, and we give You the glory. Father, protect President Trump. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.” Public school fully embraces Muslim Holidays, calls Easter ‘Spring break' John Overton High School, a taxpayer-funded public school in Nashville, Tennessee, has drawn national outrage after the Nashville Banner newspaper published a feature story celebrating the school's decision to fully embrace the Islamic holidays.  Not only does the school provide a food-free zone during lunchtime for Muslim students who are fasting during Ramadan, but the Muslim kids have reserved space on campus to pray.   In addition, Muslim students are also provided electronic hall passes so they can leave class for 15 minutes to pray, and teachers decorate their rooms with Muslim holiday decor.  For example, there's a map of Kurdistan above one teacher's desk and a box of prayer mats in the corner that students often borrow to pray at school.  Plus, Overton High School's cafeteria was decorated with gold and blue stars, moons, lanterns, and string lights, proclaiming, “Ramadan Mubarak” which means “Blessed Ramadan.” At least two Tennessee congressmen are disturbed by the school's coziness with the Islamic holidays. On the X platform, Republican Congressman Andy Ogles  wrote, “Meanwhile, Christians have seen every trace of their religion erased from American education.” And Republican Congressman John Rose, who is running for the Republican nomination to be governor, said “Political correctness has overtaken common sense.” He noted that the school district merely referred to the Christian holy day of Good Friday as “Spring Holiday” on its official calendar. Christian talk show host Todd Starnes asked, “I wonder if Overton High School celebrates the Jewish and Christian faiths with as much gusto as they do the Muslim faith? Do they erect a Nativity in the cafeteria during the 12 days of Christmas? Is there a banner proclaiming that Jesus is the reason for the season? I reached out to the school to find out if classrooms and hallways are decorated to celebrate the Christian holidays, but so far, there's been no response.” Starnes concluded, “And what's especially peculiar is the silence from atheist groups like the Freedom From Religion Foundation and anti-Christian hate groups like the ACLU and Americans United For the Separation of Church and State. That crowd gets triggered by teachers handing out candy canes. But there's not been a word of condemnation about a public school being turned into a taxpayer-funded mosque.” In Exodus 20:3, God commanded, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Send a polite, 2-sentence letter of objection to Principal Kelby Garner, Overton High School, 4820 Franklin Pike, Nashville, TN 37220.

Kumar Sangakkara is one of cricket's greatest legends, known for his unparalleled skill, leadership, and transformative philosophy. In this episode, Kumar joins Jake and Damian to share the key moments and philosophies that shaped his career both on and off the field, offering a profound perspective on performance, identity, and resilience.Kumar explains how this philosophy shaped his approach to coaching and his own career, emphasising that separating who you are from what you do allows for greater perspective, freedom, and calm. He also discusses the dark side of excellence, revealing the personal sacrifices athletes make and how maintaining balance and relationships outside of performance is crucial for staying human.He shares the powerful lessons he learned during the 2009 Lahore attack, where he witnessed violence firsthand but emerged with a newfound perspective on gratitude. Kumar also reflects on his country's unity through cricket, especially during the controversial Murali incident, and how that moment played a key role in shaping Sri Lanka's identity. This episode offers a rare and deeply personal look at what it truly means to be a world-class performer while remaining grounded in your humanity, showing how gratitude, balance, and perspective can guide us through even the toughest challenges.Heights

Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for ArtistsOn this week's episode I'm joined by Hiba Schahbaz.Born in Karachi, Pakistan, Hiba Schahbaz trained in traditional Indo-Persian miniature painting at the National College of Arts in Lahore. Her practice spans oil, wood, paper, black tea, and water-based pigments. Schahbaz received an MFA in painting from Pratt Institute and has exhibited internationally since 2002. Recent exhibitions include the FLAG Art Foundation, Almine Rech Paris, the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami, and Jeffrey Deitch, as well as a public art commission for Rockefeller Center produced with Art Production Fund. Her current retrospective, Hiba Schahbaz: The Garden, on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, brings together roughly fifteen years of work tracing her evolution from the disciplined traditions of miniature painting to expansive, immersive works.I sat down with Hiba in her Bushwick loft studio and asked her about the “aha” moment - when a new idea begins to take shape. We also talk about cut-outs and shifting scale, the difference between one-off paintings and a sustained flow state, learning from mistakes, and why she never lets a painting leave the studio before the idea feels fully resolved. We talk materials and process, how Hiba starts a painting, and how she approaches large commissions, museum projects, and multi-panel works differently. Hiba discusses maintaining a daily studio practice and how it shifts with seasonal rhythms, the difficulty and necessity of waiting for ideas to develop, and the importance of physical health in the studio and taking responsibility for one's body over time. Finally, we talk about avoiding creative burnout through continuous learning, and why Schahbaz believes in committing fully to the path of an artist without a Plan B.Support this podcast by clicking HERE and becoming a Patreon Supporter!If you're enjoying the podcast so far, please rate, review, subscribe and SHARE ON INSTAGRAM!  If you have an any questions you want answered, write in to artmatterspodcast@gmail.com  host: Isaac Mann www.isaacmann.com insta: @isaac.mann guest: Hiba Schahbaz www.hibaschahbaz.com insta: @hiba_schahbazThank you as always to ARRN, the Detroit-based artist and instrumentalist, for the music.

Claim your complimentary gift of my exclusive mini weight care guide today!Link: Weight Care Guide — Dr. Francavilla Show (thedrfrancavillashow.com)Curious how sleep and weight might be more connected than you think?Not long ago, obesity wasn't widely recognized as a medical condition. Treatments were limited, and many people assumed weight loss was all about willpower. But (thankfully!) research has shifted that understanding: obesity is a complex disease shaped by biology, environment, hormones, and metabolism.In this episode, sleep medicine specialist Dr. Usama discusses the connection between sleep, metabolic health, and obesity. Dr. Usama is triple board-certified in sleep and obesity medicine and practices with MultiCare Health System in the Seattle area. He also serves as an adjunct clinical assistant professor at A.T. Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine and as visiting foreign faculty at King Edward Medical University in Lahore. His work focuses on sleep apnea, obesity, and cardiometabolic health—conditions that often overlap.In this episode, we talk about how sleep, weight, and metabolic health are deeply connected—and why treating them together can make a real difference.In This Episode, We Cover:Zepbound and Sleep Apnea – Why weight loss alone isn't enough, but Zepbound may help reduce apnea severity and improve adherence to CPAP therapy.How Zepbound Works Beyond Weight Loss – Potential effects on airway dynamics, brainstem breathing centers, metabolism, and even cravings.Why Treating Sleep Apnea Matters – Untreated sleep apnea affects your heart, brain, weight management, and long-term health. Combining therapies provides better outcomes than relying on one approach.Sleep Isn't Optional – Sleep is when your brain consolidates memories, your muscles repair, and your metabolism resets. Learn strategies to reclaim restorative sleep, including CBT-I and practical sleep hygiene tips.Legs That Won't Quit: Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) – Understand the signs, causes, and effective treatments including iron therapy, medications, and nerve stimulation technology.Improving sleep, weight, and metabolic health isn't about perfection—it's about alignment. When your daily habits support sleep, metabolism, brain function, and long-term health, the body responds in powerful ways. Even small, intentional changes can create momentum and meaningful results.Connect with Usama:LinkedIn: M.

Daniyal Mueenuddin grew up in two vastly different worlds. As a child, he lived with his paternal relatives in Lahore, Pakistan. As a teenager, he spent summers on his maternal family's farm in Elroy, Wis. A product of both of those worlds, Mueenuddin sees himself as a translator of sorts. He intimately knows both U.S. and Pakistani culture — particularly the more rural, faintly feudal villages in southern Pakistan, where he now farms. He knows the distinctives and the overlaps between East and West, between rich and poor, between scarcity and comfort. He's channeled all of his knowledge into his new novel. Set largely in rural Pakistan, “This is Where the Serpent Lives” tells four interwoven stories that contrast the lives of servants desperate to escape their class, and the wealthy, Westernized elites who employ them. This week on Big Books and Bold Ideas, Kerri Miller talks with Mueenuddin about how his disparate childhood environments shaped his writing, what it's like to constantly code-switch as he travels between his farm in Pakistan and his current home in Oslo, and why the class system survives the fading of Pakistani feudalism. Guest: Daniyel Mueenuddin's first book, a collection of stories titled “In Other Rooms, Other Wonders” was a finalist for the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. His new book — his first novel — is “This is Where the Serpent Lives.” Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.

Donald Trump has presided over a signing ceremony inaugurating his Board of Peace. Speaking in Davos, he expressed his belief that it'll help forge what he called a "glorious and 'everlasting" peace for the Middle East and the wider world. Nearly twenty other dignitaries have signed the agreement. Mr Trump said the board would work in conjunction with the United Nations. Critics say it is designed to replace some of the UN's functions. Also: Denmark's prime minister has insisted her country's territorial integrity must be respected, a day after President Trump said a possible deal on Greenland will achieve everything he wants. Two people have died and several are feared buried after landslides in New Zealand's North Island.
