Die Mieten gehen vor allem in Ballungszentren durch die Decke. Wer ist schuld daran? Und was kann die Politik dagegen tun? Im Rahmen der Jugendmedienwoche hinterfragen vier Jugendliche die Positionen der Politikerinnen und Politiker dazu kritisch. Seit Jahren kennt die Entwicklung der Mietzinse nur einen Weg: den nach oben. Gerade in urbanen Gebieten übersteigt die Nachfrage das Angebot bei Weitem. Ist die Zuwanderung daran schuld? Oder betreiben die Städte zu wenig gemeinnützigen Wohnungsbau, um bezahlbare Wohnungen zu garantieren? Bräuchte es einen Mietdeckel oder wäre das ein zu grosser Eingriff in den freien Markt? Auch die Bautätigkeit geht seit 2018 stetig zurück. Dabei würde neuer Wohnraum dringend gebraucht. Woran liegt das? Gibt es zu viele Vorschriften, die das Bauen erschweren? Oder nutzen potenzielle Investoren die aktuelle Wohnungsnot in gewissen Gebieten aus, um möglichst viele Bauvorschriften anzugreifen? Was kann die Politik gegen die steigenden Mieten tun, was sind die Rezepte für mehr bezahlbaren Wohnraum? Darüber diskutieren die Gäste von Sandro Brotz am 9. Mai: – Nina Fehr Düsel, Nationalrätin SVP/ZH, Beirat Hauseigentümerverband Zürich; – Yvonne Bürgin, Vizepräsidentin Die Mitte, Mitglied Vorstand Hauseigentümerverband Schweiz; – Sarah Wyss, Nationalrätin SP/BS; und – Michael Töngi, Nationalrat Grüne/LU, Vizepräsident Mieterinnen- und Mieterverband Schweiz. Ihre Positionen und Argumente werden von vier Jugendlichen im Rahmen der Jugendmedienwoche kritisch hinterfragt: Yael Länzlinger, 19, aus dem Toggenburg, Sara Schoch, 17, aus dem Kanton Appenzell-Ausserhoden, Lisa Tschuor, 18, aus dem Kanton Luzern und Enea Fäs aus Zürich, 17, fühlen den anwesenden Politikerinnen und Politikern in Interviews auf den Zahn.

The fishing industry is a vital part of Hawaii's lifestyle. Some people fish because it's their job. Some, to put food on the table. Some, because it's an outdoor activity they enjoy.

Helping to spread the word are Gil Kualii from Western Pacific Fishery Management Council and Alex Min from the Pacific Islands Fisheries Group. Michael T is your host.

Am 24. November stimmt die Schweiz gleich über zwei Änderungen beim Mietrecht ab: Die Untermiete soll strenger geregelt werden und Kündigungen wegen Eigenbedarf würden erleichtert. Das führe zu mehr Rechtssicherheit, betont das Ja-Lager. Die Gegenseite warnt vor einer Schwächung des Mieterschutzes. Die erste der beiden Mietrechtsvorlagen zielt auf die Regeln für die Untermiete. Schon heute muss der Vermieter einer Untermiete zustimmen – ablehnen darf er sie nur in bestimmten Fällen. Künftig wären ein schriftliches Gesuch des Mieters und eine schriftliche Zustimmung des Vermieters erforderlich, wenn Mieterinnen ihre Wohnung oder einzelne Räume untervermieten wollen. Zudem dürfte der Vermieter die Untermiete verbieten, wenn sie länger als zwei Jahre dauern soll. Das Ja-Lager betont, die neuen Regeln würden zu mehr Rechtssicherheit für Vermieterinnen und Mieter führen. Zudem könne durch die Anpassung verhindert werden, dass durch Untermiete missbräuchliche Gewinne erzielt würden. Das Referendumskomitee rund um den Mieterinnen- und Mieterverband betont hingegen, dass das Missbrauchspotenzial bei der Untermiete sehr gering sei. Die Einschränkung der Untermiete sei ein Angriff auf den Mieterschutz. Lockerung der Kündigungsregeln bei Eigenbedarf Auch gegen die zweite Anpassung betreffend Kündigung wegen Eigenbedarfs wurde das Referendum ergriffen. Heute ist eine Kündigung bei «dringendem» Eigenbedarf möglich. Neu sollen Eigentümer den Eigenbedarf schneller und einfacher geltend machen können. Es soll genügen, wenn der Eigenbedarf «bedeutend und aktuell» ist. Die Vorlage schwäche den Kündigungsschutz unter dem Vorwand des Eigenbedarfs, sagt das Referendumskomitee. Das Ja-Lager erwidert: Die Interessen der Mieterinnen seien weiterhin geschützt, sie hätten etwa immer noch Anspruch auf Schadensersatz bei einer früheren Kündigung. Schaffen die beiden Mietrechtsvorlagen mehr Rechtssicherheit und verhindern Missbräuche? Oder werden die Rechte der Mieterinnen und Mieter eingeschränkt und Kündigungen vereinfacht? Zu diesen Fragen begrüsst Sandro Brotz am 8. November 2024 in der «Abstimmungs-Arena» als Befürworterinnen und Befürworter der beiden Vorlagen: – Brigitte Häberli-Koller, Ständerätin Die Mitte/TG und Vizepräsidentin Hauseigentümerverband; – Olivier Feller, Nationalrat FDP/VD und Generalsekretär Westschweizer Immobilienverband; und – Barbara Steinemann, Nationalrätin SVP/ZH. Gegen die Vorlagen treten an: – Jacqueline Badran, Vizepräsidentin SP und Vorstandsmitglied Mieterinnen- und Mieterverband; – Michael Töngi, Nationalrat Grüne/LU und Vizepräsident Mieterinnen- und Mieterverband; und - Sarah Brutschin, Vorstandsmitglied Mieterinnen- und Mieterverband.

Doktorn i socialt arbete och regeringens utredare av socionomutbildningen Michael Tärnfalk intervjuas av Jörgen Huitfeldt. Den eskalerande ungdomskriminaliteten är ett av vår tids allvarligaste problem och lagstiftningen går snabbt i repressiv riktning. Samtidigt upprepas ständigt samma mantra: "Vi måste satsa mer på det förebyggande arbetet!" Men vad innebär det i praktiken? Vet vi ens vad som fungerar och varför socialtjänstens gängse metoder inte längre tycks vara särskilt framgångsrika?

Zehntausende fehlende Wohnungen, stetig steigende Mieten. Für manche liegt das Problem bei fehlenden Kontrollen, für andere ist das ein Grund mehr, die Zuwanderung zu begrenzen. Wie bekommt die Politik die Situation in den Griff? Der Schweiz fehlen bis 2026 über 50'000 Wohnungen, wie die Immobilienberatungsfirma Wüst Partner berechnet hat. Gleichzeitig steigen die Mieten von Wohnungen, die neu ausgeschrieben werden, stetig an. Der Mieterinnen- und Mieterverband hegt den Verdacht, dass die Vermietenden damit eine übersetzte Rendite auf dem Buckel der Mieter erzielen, und fordert deshalb eine staatliche Mietzinskontrolle. Der Hauseigentümerverband entgegnet, dass der Mieterschutz in der Schweiz gut ausgebaut sei und es hier deshalb keine staatliche Intervention brauche. Braucht es eine stärkere Regulierung der Mietpreise? Oder gilt es, den Wohnungsmarkt möglichst frei zu gestalten? Verschärft die Zuwanderung die Wohnungsnot? Während das Angebot an Wohnraum immer knapper wird, steigt auch die Nachfrage stetig. Zum einen geht der Trend hin zu kleineren Haushalten – etwa den klassischen «Single-Wohnungen» –, zum anderen nimmt die Bevölkerungszahl zu. Wolle man diese Ursache strukturell angehen, führe kein Weg an einer Begrenzung der Zuwanderung vorbei, sagt etwa die SVP. Die Zuwanderung zu begrenzen, komme schon aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen nicht infrage, argumentieren manche ihrer Gegnerinnen und Gegner. Ist die Zuwanderung einer der Hauptfaktoren des überhitzten Wohnungsmarktes? Oder ist sie nur ein Nebenschauplatz in der Mietdebatte? Warum wird zu wenig gebaut? Der offensichtlichste Weg, die Wohnungsknappheit zu beheben, ist, einfach mehr zu bauen. Nur stockt die Bautätigkeit trotz der immensen Nachfrage. Bisweilen scheint es daran zu liegen, dass verdichtetes Bauen nur befürwortet wird, solange es nicht vor der eigenen Haustür geschieht. Gibt es heute zu viele Möglichkeiten, Einsprachen einzulegen? Soll der Staat den privaten Wohnungsbau steuerlich begünstigen? Oder braucht es im Gegenteil ein Vorkaufsrecht für Gemeinden und Kantone, um dem gemeinnützigen Wohnungsbau zu fördern? Zu diesen Fragen begrüsst Sandro Brotz in der «Arena»: – Manfred Bühler, Nationalrat SVP/BE und Vorstand HEV Biel und Umgebung; – Jacqueline Badran, Vizepräsidentin SP und Vorstand Mieterinnen- und Mieterverband; – Beat Walti, Nationalrat FDP/ZH und Präsident Verband Immobilien Schweiz; und – Michael Töngi, Nationalrat Grüne/LU und Vizepräsident Mieterinnen- und Mieterverband.

Discernment of spirits used to solely mean "diagnosing" whether someone was led by the Holy Spirit or the enemy. But it's more complicated than that, isn't it? The same person, even holy people, can be influenced by both the Holy Spirit and the enemy. Ignatius of Loyola compiled and systematized the Desert Fathers' tradition of discernment, so that now we understand "discernment of spirits" to mean deciding for oneself or another what must be attributed to the Holy Spirit, and what comes from one's own imagination or the suggestion of the enemy. Because St. Ignatius of Loyola's rules for discernment are so substantial, I have included a simplified version specific to discerning whether we are hearing from the Holy Spirit or not.

K.A. Owens interviews author, activist, playwright Michael T. about the political context of the movie "Black Panther - Wakanda Forever". Recorded Thursday December 22, 2022, 2PM.

Rev. Charles Martin "Marty" Davis was born in Cleveland, TN on Feb. 22, 1962. He graduated from Cleveland High School in '80 and went on to UTC for undergrad, then to UVA for his Masters.  Soon after graduating, Marty felt a new calling and decided to go to Seminary at Sewanee for his Masters in Divinity, becoming an Episcopalian Priest. At the time Marty was ordained, he was the youngest in the state at the age of 29 years old and the first openly gay Episcopal Priest in the Chattanooga area.  Marty went on to do amazing things for the St. Elmo community in Chattanooga, even played a massive role in the merging of two segregated churches and there is so much more he would have accomplished, if his life wasn't cut short.  There are thousands of pieces to this case and theories as to what happened to Marty Davis - circulating churches, people of power, and individuals that live in the area.  We are the first to cover Marty's case since 2007, there is very little out there on his murder. But we're going to change that.  Marty's case is currently being handled by the Hamilton County DA's Office Cold Case Unit, which is weeks away from being shut down because of the changing of office. Once Marty's case is back in the hands of Chattanooga Police Department, it will likely sit on a dusty shelf for another 25 years without pressing leads being sent in.  MARTY DESERVES JUSTICE!  Sources: Catholic Alternative.com, Episcopal Church US- Wiki, Apostolic Episcopal Church-ae.church, Thankful Memorial.org, Christian Post Article by Joseph Mattera “11 Ways Pastors are Abused”, Hamilton County Cold Case Unit, Sewanee.edu, Crime Stoppers, The Chattanoogan Article 2004- “Crime Stoppers: 1997 Murder of Priest Marty Davis”, Local 3 News Article 2014- “17 Years Later: Chattanooga Priest's Murder Still Unsolved”, News 622 Article “DA Steve Bebb and the Cannibal Judge”, WDEF News 12 Chattanooga Cold Case Files Episode(s), The Chattanooga Times 1997 Article by John Bobo- “Teen Questioned in Priest's Slaying” Bobo and Mary Rehyansky “Mourners Hold a Prayer Vigil for Slain Priest” Ranhyansky Article- “Finders of Davis' Card Interviewed”, Chattanooga Times Free Press 2008 Article By Ryan Harris- “Autopsy Reveals Violence in slaying…”, Chattanooga Free Press 1997 Article(s) by John Chambliss- “Davis Eulogized As Caring Priest” “Teen's Home Searched in Priest Case”, Chattanooga Times Free Press 1997 Article(s) by Michele Dula Baum- “Marty Davis: A Priest Sent to Minister” “Changing the Face of Worship”, Chattanooga Times Free Press 1997 Article By Howard Cross- “Marty Davis's Death Called Call To Action”, Chattanooga Free Press 1997 Article By Lance Coleman “Police Talk To Woman Who Found Slain Priest's Credit Card” “Police Seek Motive In Slaying of Priest” 1998 Article “City's Detectives Still Seeking Killers of 5 Brandard Residents”, Chatt.
