A major UK group litigation has been launched against Johnson & Johnson, involving approximately 3,000 claimants who allege they developed cancers due to asbestos-contaminated talc products. The company is accused of negligence and deceit. Johnson & Johnson deny the allegations. The BBC Health reporter, Chloe Hayward, joins Anita Rani to talk about what is known so far.Surrogacy and its impact is the subject of a new report by the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, Reem Alsalem. In 2023, the global surrogacy market was valued at nearly $15 billion and is projected to reach almost $100 billion in the next eight years. Here in the UK commercial surrogacy is illegal - surrogacy has to be altruistic, meaning only expenses are paid for and the motivation behind it is typically helping someone else. It is legal, however, to have a child in another country where the rules may differ. To discuss the ethics of the practice, Anita is joined by Reem Alsalem and Sarah Jones, CEO of Surrogacy UK.Karen Carney is one of the most capped female footballers for England. The former Lioness joins Anita to talk about how she is using Strictly to help her 'rebuild confidence' after being 'crushed' by the sexist abuse she faced as a football pundit and her vision to improve women's sport.Children with special educational needs from low-income families are facing major inequalities in access to support, according to a new report out today from the Sutton Trust. Anita is joined by Charlotte O'Regan, Senior Schools Engagement Manager at the Sutton Trust, lead author of the report Double Disadvantage, to talk about its findings.

September 17, 2025- New York State Coalition for Children's Behavioral Health President & CEO Kayleigh Zaloga discusses a settlement with the Hochul administration that requires increased state investment in Medicaid rates for child mental health services.

Guy speaks with Senior Research Director Craig Thiel about his recent issue brief looking at Michigan's efforts to improve early literacy among low-income students, with increased funding and accountability measures. Unfortunately, while the data is still relatively new, the state's efforts are not yielding hoped-for results. While Michigan student test scores in several other grades and subjects have shown important (albeit gradual) improvements since the COVID-19 pandemic, the reading proficiency rates for third- and fourth-grade students continue to decline. A recent reminder of this concerning trend was brought to light when the Michigan Department of Education released the Spring 2025 statewide assessment results, showing that fewer than four in ten third graders tested proficient in reading. The new analysis of third-grade reading results for at-risk students shows that fewer than half of all Michigan school districts have demonstrated improvement in “at-risk” student reading proficiency rates since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. These district-level improvements, however, varied based on a district's socioeconomic status. “We found that 50 percent of high-poverty districts saw improvement in third grade reading proficiency rates among “at-risk” students, compared to just 37 percent of low-poverty districts,” Thiel said.

Calley Means has spent years pulling back the curtain on some of the most powerful industries in America, and what he shared with me was eye-opening. We talked about his journey from working inside the political machine to becoming a senior adviser to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and now one of the most outspoken critics of the food, pharmaceutical, and healthcare industries. Calley explained why he believes the health of our country starts with what we eat, and how the system is stacked against ordinary Americans from the time we are kids in school. He did not sugarcoat the reality. The statistics are dark, the incentives are broken, and the industries making billions off our sickness do not want to change. But Calley also brought hope by sharing why he still believes America can turn this around, what he is fighting for alongside RFK Jr. and Donald Trump, and the changes that could actually make us healthy again. This was a challenging and fascinating conversation that will make you question what you have been told about health, medicine, and the food on your plate.

I aim to provide clear, fact-checked information about tax laws. The bill extends provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. It is expected to increase the federal deficit by $3 to $4 trillion. The bill primarily benefits households with incomes over $500,000. Medicaid cuts are expected to save $900 billion. The child tax credit has been increased from $2,000 to $2,200. Many environmental tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act have been eliminated.

Release Date: 07.30.2025 Hoporenkv Native American Podcast: “Low Income Tax Credits in the Budget Reconciliation Act” Special Guests: Phil Glynn President Travois Adam Rose Director of Partnerships and Growth Travois Episode Description: Join us for a vital discussion on how recent legislative changes to Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) and New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC) can transform housing and economic development in Native American Communities. In this episode of the Hoporenkv Native American Podcast, we sit down with Phil Glynn and Adam Rose from Travois, a leading expert in tribal housing and economic development. Discover how Tribes can leverage LIHTC, exploring its synergy with existing programs like NAHASDA, Competitive IHBG grants, and even Title VI secured loans. They'll also highlight the key distinctions between LIHTC and NAHASDA in terms of populations served, and why the broader national affordable housing crisis underscores the critical importance of these tax credits for all communities, including Tribes. Our guests will shed light on the long-standing advocacy for LIHTC expansion and detail the significant provisions in the recently passed Budget Reconciliation Act. What does this bill mean for housing tax credits, and is the increased allocation permanent? Learn how this will directly and indirectly benefit Tribes and the potential short-term challenges, emphasizing how strategic planning can overcome them. Travois will share insights into the types of projects Tribes have successfully funded with NMTC, whether it's a repayable source, and the typical capital it can provide. They'll address past challenges Tribes have faced in utilizing this resource and delve into the bill's substantial implications for future NMTC availability for Tribes. If your Tribe has a project needing additional capital, this episode is a must-listen for connecting with the experts at Travois. Episode Resource Links: https://travois.com/ Arose@travois.com

"Cities across the globe have experienced urban blight, where districts that have seen a significant downturn in fortunes are abandoned, residential and business properties left vacant. Responding to this change in fortunes is becoming an industry in itself."What Causes Urban Blight -And What Can Be Done About it" ~ February 2023  blog.bluebeam.comMy Guest This Week Has Success in helping Real Estate Properties & Communities RevitalizeBlighted is a powerful narrative about the decades-long decay and remarkable two-year reinvention of Summerdale, an aging apartment community located in one of Atlanta's grittiest corridors. From burnt-out, mold-infested buildings to traumatized classrooms, Blighted unfolds in the voices of ruthless drug dealers, phantom tenants, fearless landlords, the working poor, educators, and visionary local leaders.After purchasing the property from an absentee overseas owner, Marjy Stagmeier and her partners methodically tackled the crisis festering inside the gated 244-unit apartment property. Two years of relentless work later, Stagmeier reveals how the team that she led built community from chaos. Through on-the-ground, in-the-moment interviews with a wide range of stakeholders, Stagmeier demonstrates how marginalized housing perpetuates intergenerational poverty and the collapse of nearby public schools while showing the multifaceted challenges of improving dire living conditions.Blighted offers a unique insider perspective of the political, human, and economic challenges of delivering equitable housing in a market fueled by inflationary prices, insatiable demand, and competing and often dubious agendas. Summerdale's success is a bright model of how affordable housing, education, healthcare, and social capital can interconnect to build vibrant, sustainable communities―affordable housing communities, nearby schools, and the community at large. From there, kids, families, working people, and neighborhoods can thrive.© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!2025 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Radio @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'” - Matthew 25:40Some exciting things are happening that will give you more ways to help “the least of these” in God's Kingdom. Brian Holtz joins us today with details about how we can all have the greatest impact in helping those in need.Brian Holtz is the CEO of Compass Financial Ministry and the author of Financial Discipleship for Families: Intentionally Raising Faithful Children.A Call to Reach the MarginsWhen it comes to helping families in financial crisis, good intentions aren't always enough. Real transformation requires more than quick fixes—it takes relationships, discipleship, and time. That's the heart behind Making Ends Meet, a small group video study from Compass Financial Ministry designed to equip churches and communities to walk with struggling families toward lasting financial health.Most financial ministries have historically focused on middle—and upper-income families, but Compass felt God pushing them to address those with no financial margin at all—those who aren't just managing poorly but truly don't have enough income to meet basic needs.In response, Compass partnered with ministries that specialize in serving low-income families to learn the unique challenges these households face, many of which go far beyond budgeting.Why Money Alone Isn't EnoughSimply giving money doesn't create lasting change. It may provide short-term relief, but study after study shows that injecting money into poverty doesn't solve the deeper problem.That's not a reason to stop giving—it's a reason to start giving differently.Jesus didn't just heal people and walk away. He invited them to follow Him. That's the model we need to follow—combining financial help with relational investment.When someone is experiencing financial hardship, it's often not just a matter of dollars and cents—it's about identity, family history, and deeply ingrained beliefs. That's why true transformation requires more than a checkbook; it requires presence.When we invest relationally, we gain credibility. That allows us to speak into someone's life in a way that supports their heart and habits.Understanding the Emotional BarriersOne of the surprising lessons Compass learned during the development of Making Ends Meet is how emotional the journey out of poverty can be.Many poor communities are deeply interdependent. They share what they have and support each other in powerful ways, like the early church in Acts.But when someone begins to move toward financial stability, it can create fear: Will I lose my community if I start to thrive? Will I be accepted if I have more than those around me?This anxiety can be paralyzing, which is why patience and prayer are so critical. These are generational challenges. They won't be overcome overnight, but change is possible with consistent love and support.Learn More and Get InvolvedThe beauty of Making Ends Meet is its simplicity. You don't need to be a financial expert to use it. If you care about people and are willing to walk with them, the study provides a step-by-step framework to break cycles of poverty and help families build a new mindset.This is for anyone already serving in their community through their church, a shelter, or a mentoring ministry. Compass provides the tools to make that investment more effective.To explore how you or your church can use Making Ends Meet, visit CompassFinancialMinistry.org. Whether you're looking to lead a group or come alongside a struggling neighbor, this resource is designed to equip you to serve with compassion and wisdom.Helping others financially isn't just about generosity—it's about discipleship. When we combine truth, love, and time, God can do amazing things.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:How do I get banks to produce my bank statements further back than the seven-year period usually required to keep records?

Street Soccer Portland is part of a national organization that aims to expand access to playing soccer by providing a free alternative to the pay-to-play model of club soccer. The local chapter primarily serves elementary and middle school-aged children through afterschool programs currently being offered at 20 schools and community centers in Portland, Tigard, Gresham and Vancouver. Partnerships and donations from companies like Adidas and Nike help provide free uniforms and equipment to participants, most of whom are low-income and would otherwise not be able to afford the hundreds of dollars a youth club soccer team would likely charge to join.  Since joining Street Soccer Portland two years ago, Program Director Julian Alexander has expanded participation in the organization by more than 140%, from roughly 1,000 to nearly 2,400 participants last year. Program Coordinator Saul Meneses Zurita is now helping coach the next generation of players after first playing in one of Street Soccer Portland’s afterschool programs 11 years ago. Alexander and Zurita join us to share the impact Street Soccer Portland is having on and off the field. They’ll also share details about the annual spring tournament that hundreds of fourth and fifth graders will compete in next Friday at Davis Elementary School in Gresham.

A groundbreaking new study from the University of Cincinnati reveals that police funding can significantly impact home prices—but the effect depends on the income level of the community. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down economist David Brasington's findings, which show that increasing police budgets raises home values by 13% in low-income areas, while decreasing them by at least 14% in high-income neighborhoods. Tune in to learn why these opposing trends had been hidden in previous research, and what this means for investors, homeowners, and policymakers navigating the evolving landscape of public safety and property values.

These are just some of the “Dionisms” that have made Dion McNeeley, the so-called “lazy investor,” rich with rental properties.

In this episode, we're breaking down the ten different “Dionisms” (unconventional landlord advice) that have literally made Dion millions and can do the same for you.  Dion went from debt-riddled to multi-millionaire in just over a decade, starting his journey making just $17/hour, with three kids and very little time.
