Podcasts about Lower house

A far-right party which came to prominence during the Covid-19 pandemic recently showed itself to be a contender to Japan's centrist political establishment, when it grew from one seat, three years ago to 15 seats in the recent elections. Known as Sanseito, the party is led by Kamiya Sohei, whose YouTube videos spread conspiracy theories about vaccinations. Its political platform is a nationalist ‘Japanese first' agenda and warns against a ‘silent invasion of foreigners'. Whilst for Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party coalition, the election results were bruising. The LDP lost its majority in the Upper House, having already lost control of the Lower House last year. But its embattled Prime Minister, Shigeru Ishiba, whilst facing calls from within his party to resign, has said he has no plans to quit. Against this backdrop, there's a growing unease amongst Japanese voters over issues like immigration, over-tourism and the economy and Sanseito are tapping into that. Joining us to discuss Japan's political climate are Kenneth Mori McElwain, professor of Comparative Politics, University of Tokyo, Japan; Dr Fabian Schäfer, chair of Japanese Studies, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany; Jeffrey Hall, author and lecturer, Kanda University of International Studies, Eastern Japan; Dr Kristi Govella, associate professor of Japanese Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford, UK.Presenter: William Crawley Producer: Jill Collins Researcher: Evie Yabsley Technical producer: Craig Boardman Production management assistant: Liam Morrey Editor: Tara McDermott

In this short episode we will again be visiting Lower House farm, Llandrindod. This time we hear from Dr Rhys Jones, Lecturer from the Department of Life Sciences at Aberystwyth University. Rhys is originally from North Wales, and was raised on an upland beef and sheep farm. He still takes a keen interest in the family farm as well as wider Agriculture issues. His research interests lie within the field of veterinary parasitology, and he's particularly interested in developing sustainable parasite control techniques for livestock producers.    Rhys discusses how Rob Lyons has been part of a wider project that includes 16 farms that are looking at Liver Fluke. With liver fluke populations rapidly becoming resistant to certain drug treatments, alternative control strategies which focus on infection avoidance through grazing and land management must be utilised on farms. However, for these measures to be effective, it is imperative that we can accurately identify liver fluke infection risk areas within farms and fields.

A growing number of Americans are ditching Democratic-run cities for Republican suburbs in search of lower taxes and more affordable real estate prices. In Republican counties, defined by the 2020 presidential vote, about 3.7 million more people have moved in than left over the past four years, according to a Stateline analysis of U.S. Census Bureau estimates and county presidential election data by the University of Michigan. By comparison, Democratic counties saw a net loss of 3.7 million residents during that same time period. Republican suburban counties in four swing states — Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — gained the most new arrivals, while heavily Democratic cities lost the most.

A pioneering bill to curb the rampant pace of fast fashion won unanimous approval in the lower house of the French Parliament, making France one of the first countries worldwide to target the influx of low-cost, mass-produced garments. The fashion industry is among the world's biggest producers of greenhouse gas emissions. France is seeking to reduce the allure of fast fashion items, setting a precedent in the fight against the environmental degradation they cause. Lawmakers on March 14 unanimously approved the bill, greenlighting it for the Senate to consider—either to approve it or to tweak it and send it back to the lower house—before it can become law. Christophe Bechu, the minister for ecological transition, hailed the vote as a historic step toward reining in the “excesses” of fast fashion. The bill will introduce stringent measures, including banning advertising for the most inexpensive textiles and imposing an environmental levy on these low-cost products. The bill specifically targets fast fashion giants, calling for companies to disclose their products' environmental impact. This move seeks to pivot the industry toward more sustainable practices, encouraging transparency and accountability. It's a measure that promotes environmental protection and aims to safeguard France's prized high fashion industry. Renowned for luxury brands such as LVMH's Louis Vuitton and Chanel, France has seen its lower-end market sectors suffer due to stiff competition from fast fashion retailers like Zara, H&M, and the emerging Chinese powerhouses Shein and Temu. By imposing these measures, France aims to level the playing field and promote a more sustainable fashion landscape. However, producers such as Shein have countered the criticism, long arguing that their business model, albeit fast, effectively keeps the proportion of unsold garments very low. This, they claim, contributes to reducing waste—a crucial aspect of sustainability in fashion. Luxury giants such as LVMH and Kering regularly face criticism for the billions of dollars of unsold inventory yearly. French supporters of the bill argue it paves the way for future action, including a proposed EU-wide ban on the export of used clothing to tackle the escalating problem of textile waste.

TRANSCRIPT Welcome to Popeular History, a library of Catholic knowledge and insights brought to you daily. To help make this library as useful as possible, this episode includes show notes with links and a transcript. You might notice that some of those words in the transcript are in capital letters. Those are either flags for me to make sure that I link back to them when I have my audio glossary set up to help you with terms, or they might be my weird phonetic way to help myself with pronunciation as best I can if I forgot to delete those. Either way, enjoy that! Today *isn't* a Saturday, but as we missed our normal Saturday modern cardinal coverage last week due to the consistory, I thought I'd go ahead and bring you the next episode in that ongoing series today, so we don't fall behind our originally planned pacing, because I know a slippery slope when I see one and I am determined to get these cardinals discussed before the next Conclave, whenever that may be. Daniel Fernando Sturla Berhouet was born on July 4th, 1959 in Montevideo, Uruguay. Located on the southern coast, Montevideo is Uruguay's capital and largest city. When Daniel was still a fetus, Uruguay had the news of its first Cardinal, but this isn't a Rugambwa situation, they have totally different names. I just wanted you to have a sense of some of Uruguay's Catholic history. By all accounts, Catholicism is the largest religion in Uruguay today, though it's not as dominant as you might think– I've seen it noted that Uruguay is actually the least Catholic Latin American country, with Catholics representing between 75 and 45 percent of the population today, depending on who you ask. Uruguay is a smaller country, about half the size of Germany and covered under one archdiocese, that of Montevideo, which we'll be seeing again. Getting back to young Daniel, he was the youngest of five children, and by sixteen he was an orphan. I didn't see a note on who took care of him at that point, my money is on his siblings, some combination of his three sisters named Maria and the oldest, his brother Héctor, who was 22 by that point and would later become a prominent politician. His brother's political involvement would have to wait though, because from 1973 to 1985 Uruguay was ruled by a military Junta of the sort that were common in Latin America during the latter stages of the Cold War. That situation impacted Daniel quite personally when in 1975, he was among the five Jesuits and 33 lay Catholics abducted by soldiers in Montevideo on Good Friday. That's coming from an article by Salt and Light media I have linked in the show notes which is itself based on a book by Italian journalist Nello Scavo. According to Scavo, the situation was resolved with the assistance of an Argentinean Jesuit priest named Jorge Bergoglio, yes, as in the future Pope Francis. As for Daniel, he signed up with the Salesians, joining the order in 1979 and after some theology training- and a bachelor's in civil law- he was ordained a PRIEST on November 21st, 1987. I don't usually check back in with family members after the first few sentences of these episodes, but it's worth noting that in 1990, his brother Héctor reached the peak of his political career with his one-year term as the President of the Chamber of Deputies, which is the Lower House of the General Assembly of Uruguay. Héctor would pass away within a couple of months of the end of his term. Getting back to Fr. Sturla, he carried out a number of roles within the Salesians, many of which were connected to education and new members, including directing the school where he had studied when he joined the order. He also served as a professor of Church history and earned a licentiate in theology from the Soler Theological Institute in 2006. On May 27, 2009, he was elected president of the Conference of Religious of Uruguay (CONFRU), and on December 10th, 2011 he was elected as an AUXILIARY BISHOP for the Archdiocese of Montevideo. In 2014, the previous ARCHBISHOP of Montevideo retired and bishop Sturla became Archbishop Sturla. In 2015, he became the Second Cardinal in Uruguayan history, when Pope Francis elevated him to the rank of Cardinal-Priest and assigned the TITULAR CHURCH of Saint Galla to him. Later that year, he was named member of the Congregation for the Institutes of Consecrated Life and the Societies of Apostolic Life; and of the Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization. On March 18, 2020, Pope Francis named him member of the Cardinalitial Commission of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See, which definitely has its own backstory I'll be getting into at some point here, and on June 1, 2022, the holy father also named him member of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. Cardinal Sturla is eligible to participate in future conclaves until he turns 80 in 2039. That's enough for today. I'm sure tomorrow will be a banger as we finally, at long last, return to the main narrative and learn more traditions surrounding Deacon Phillip and the Ethiopian Eunuch for us to analyze further. Thank you for listening, God bless you all.

Surveying states for regulatory freedom, school choice, transparency, and spending, the best state is Florida, followed by Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, and South Dakota.   The worst states for spending are Connecticut, New Jersey, and Vermont. The District of Columbia did equally poorly. And the worst states for regulation on parental freedoms are Delaware, Maryland, Oregon, Washington, Rhode Island, and Illinois. The study included an assessment of the percentage of homeschooled children, and the ranking of regulative controls issued by Home School Legal Defense Association.  Michigan judge strikes down ban on abortion as unconstitutional Michigan's 90-year-old law banning abortion has been ruled to violate the state constitution, reports CBS News.   Judge Elizabeth Gleicher of the Michigan Court of Claims ruled last week that prosecutors may not enforce the law in accordance with the reversal of Roe v. Wade in June. The decision was followed Thursday by the State Supreme Court approving a ballot measure for November which would open up sweeping abortion rights for the state. Recent polls indicate that 55% of Michigan voters want abortion “mostly legal.” Similar state-wide ballot measures are scheduled for November in California, Vermont, Kentucky and Montana. The contentious Brazilian presidential election Elections are approaching for the fifth largest country in the world. Brazil will have its nationwide election for president on October 1st.   The incumbent, Jair Bolsonaro, is a pro-family values conservative, facing off against former Brazilian President Luiz da Silva. Bolsonaro is trailing in what is expected to be a runoff election, by 51%-39%, reports Reuters.   The Economist is predicting Bolsonaro's loss. Brazil's skyrocketing debt and lack of financial freedom Following in the pattern of the US, Brazil's debt to Gross Domestic Product ratio increased from 60% to 105% since 2014. Brazil remains one of the least free nations in South America, ranked as the 133rd least free nation in the world, by the Heritage Foundation's annual survey. Plus, their conservative president has met with stiff resistance from the nation's Congress and Supreme Court to enact tax reforms.  Brazil's blossoming homeschool movement Homeschoolers in Brazil are hoping for favorable legislation that has made it through the Lower House, and heads to the Senate for a final vote. The national legislation would allow families to homeschool, as long as the children are enrolled in public or private school, and provide the school with records on a periodic basis. There are an estimated 75,000 homeschooled children in Brazil at present. In fact, their first-ever national homeschooling conference was held in Brasilia, the capital, just last week and attended by 1,000 people.  In a gracious nod to the movement, the nation's president invited the homeschoolers to participate in the bicentennial parade in the capital city on Wednesday.  Psalm 144:11-12 presents the vision for our sons and daughters in Christian families around the world. “Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouth speaks lying words, and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood— That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; That our daughters may be as pillars, sculptured in palace style.” Only one-third of pastors believe the tithe is binding And finally, new Barna research finds that only one-third of pastors believe the tithe is binding on Christians today. And 40% of practicing Christians do give a tithe. In 1924, total church charitable offerings exceeded 2.8% of the Gross Domestic Product. This ratio declined to about 0.6% of the GDP in 2020. A recently released Lily Foundation report also found that 29 percent of American households donated to religious causes in 2018. By 2000, 46.5 percent gave.   Also, in 2018, the average total donation to religious causes was $771. By  2000, it increased to $1,107.
