Podcasts about Miliband

Labour leader Ed Miliband awkwardly ate a bacon sandwich at New Covent Garden Market on 21st May, 2014. Mid-bite, eyes squinting, lips oddly parted, and fingers clumsily gripping the sandwich - it was an instantly meme-able moment. The British press pounced. The photo became a viral sensation, with endless edits, spoofs, and headlines suggesting Miliband wasn't “human enough” to relate to the average voter. It was a perfect storm of bad optics, class-coded food politics, and the relentless image-focused nature of modern campaigning. The idea that someone couldn't even eat a sandwich “properly” became, bizarrely, a shorthand for unrelatability. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly unpick why this accidental photocall continued to resonate a year later, becoming a ‘defining image' of the 2015 general election; recall how David Cameron swerved a similar encounter with a hot dog; and discover how the Google results for this iconic moment have been somewhat interfered with… Further Reading: • 'Is this the moment Ed realised that the man who sold him this bacon sandwich is voting Tory?

It's been a day of contrasting fortunes for Nigel Farage and Reform.First, the good: The Telegraph has revealed analysis that demonstrated how, if the recent local election results were repeated at the next national vote, Reform could wipe out Labour.Then, the bad: Farage barely had time to pop the champagne after that polling news when ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe released a blistering attack, calling the Reform leader "a coward and a viper" who "must never be Prime Minister".With Lowe hinting at a potential new political party, will this latest row hurt Reform's chances just as the party builds momentum?Camilla and Kamal are joined by Sir Edward Leigh, veteran Tory MP and father of the house, who says that Farage "does have a history of falling out with everybody who comes too close to him or threatens him" but is doubtful that it will dent his popularity.Read: Reform could oust Miliband in Labour election wipeout, by Tony DiverListen: Ben Habib on The Daily TProducers: Georgia Coan and Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: Rachel DuffyVideo Editor: Valerie BrowneStudio Operator: Meghan SearleEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

The right are obsessed with Miliband and his zeal for net zero policies, but is there any basis for the argument that his net zero policies threaten economic growth?

And all those companies that saw their businesses and market caps decimated by this deluded religion are going to make a comeback. Some will multiply many times over. That's what I think is going to happen, anyway. This also means, for we observers on the foothills of inconsequence, the time is nigh to buy North Sea oil and gas companies.

Heathrow Fire is final straw! I've had enough of Starmer's Labour. UKPolitics #StarmerLabour #HeathrowFire #DomesticSecurity  In this video, I dive deep into the recent Heathrow fire and how it highlights the complete failure of Starmer's Labour leadership when it comes to UK domestic security. Whether the fire was an accident or terror-related, the real issue is that we have no resilience plan in place to handle such events. Starmer and Labour have neglected the pressing concerns of our own borders, crime rates, and vital infrastructure, all while focusing too heavily on Ukraine and foreign affairs. The lack of attention to issues like knife crime, illegal immigration, and the vulnerability of key infrastructure is putting our country at risk. It's time for a change. As we face a rise in crime, a lack of investment in security, and weak government policies, it's clear that Miliband and Starmer need to step aside. We need a government that puts the UK first and focuses on rebuilding our domestic security, not just foreign interests. The UK is becoming the laughing stock of the world, and it's no wonder when we see the failures of leadership at the top. Join me as I break down why Starmer's Labour is failing the UK and what needs to be done for our safety, security, and future.

After last week's bond market jitters, the Chancellor pledged to go ‘further and faster' to improve the UK's anaemic economic growth. It looks as though Rachel Reeves' hunt for growth could come at the expense of Labour's green agenda. Reeves is poised to make a series of announcements over the next month, starting with a softened stance on non-doms and approval for Heathrow's third runway – as well as expansions at Gatwick and Luton airports. The move indicates a shift in priorities, with economic growth taking precedence over climate targets. Ed Miliband, the Energy Secretary, is believed to be privately opposed to the airport expansion scheme. What happened to the ‘green Chancellor'? And is a power struggle emerging between two of the most influential Cabinet members? Also on the podcast: after criticism of Labour's education plans, is it really all Bridget Phillipson's fault? Or is there blame to share around? Katy Balls speaks to James Heale and Michael Gove. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

The Energy Voice Out Loud team of Ryan Duff, Mathew Perry and Jessica Mills Davies dive into the week's headlines.   Mat has been listening to UK energy secretary Ed Miliband as he committed to discussing the UK government's oil and gas licence ban with operators and industry stakeholders. The Labour politician also touched on grid connection and how a first come first served policy may not be the best approach for the UK to meet its net zero targets.    Next up Jess has been keeping an eye on nuclear. This week EDF's auditor claimed that the bill for Hinkley Point C is set to exceed £40 billion. The French energy giant's auditors also said the firm should delay its investment in UK nuclear power project Sizewell C. This comes as ECITB shared data that the nuclear workforce has exceeded that of oil and gas in the engineering and construction industry.    Finally, Ryan discusses UK hurting for Hunting. The firm has continued to rally against the UK's tax regime as oil and gas operators slash spending in the North Sea as it announced a restructuring plan which will impact operations in the country as well as the Netherlands, Norway, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Hunting employs around 200 people across its three UK sites, however, it was unable to confirm how this process will impact headcount.

This week: Miliband's empty energy promises. Ed Miliband has written a public letter confirming that Labour plans to decarbonise the electricity system by 2030. The problem with this, though, is that he doesn't have the first idea about how to do it. The grid doesn't have the capacity to transmit the required energy, Ross Clark writes, and Miliband's claim that wind is ‘nine times cheaper' than fossil fuels is based upon false assumptions. What is more, disclosed plans about ‘GB Energy' reveal that Miliband's pet project isn't really a company at all – but an investment scheme. This empty vessel will funnel taxpayer money into the hands of private companies rather than produce any energy itself. To discuss, Lara and Will were joined by Shaun Spiers, executive director of the Green Alliance and Stanley Johnson, former MEP, environmental campaigner and author of the new book In the footsteps of Marco Polo deals extensively on China's energy problems and opportunities. (02:26) Then: Lara and Will take us through some of their favourite pieces from the magazine, including the lead book review and Catriona Olding's Still Life column. Next: meet Nigel Farage's millionaire Reform chairman. The Reform party has a new poster boy, the 37-year-old party Chairman Zia Yusuf. Self-dubbed a ‘British Muslim patriot', Yusuf is a former Goldman Sachs partner and tech owner with an expensive taste for cars. He is tasked with transforming Farage's outfit from a limited company into a proper party. You can read James Heale's full interview with Yusuf in this week's magazine, but they have kindly allowed us to hear a section of their discussion on the podcast. They talk about the Nigel Farage effect and Lee Anderson's comments about Sadiq Khan. (18:34) And finally: should we feel sorry for restaurant critics? Angus Colwell, The Spectator's assistant online editor, writes about the plight of the restaurant critic and the stresses of doing what many would consider the best job in the world. To discuss further, Angus joined us alongside the Observer's restaurant critic Jay Rayner, whose new book Nights Out, At Home celebrates his 25 years as a food critic and is available to buy now. (29:41)  Hosted by Lara Prendergast and William Moore. Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.

Labour are off the starting blocks and at quite a pace. Jemma and Marina discuss everything that's happened since the Labour government got into power which, in a nutshell, is more than the Tories have achieved in 14 years. Inspired appointments include putting James Timpson in charge of prisons, Miliband in charge of climate and a Minister for Education who respects teachers. What are the chances? It might well be a honeymoon period but the Trawl ladies will take it for as long as it lasts. Over in France there's been a result and a half too the French fascists are almost as upset as they are about a Labour win over at GB News and The Telegraph. There they're having a full blown meltdown as is Camilla Tominey who features in Under Rated Tweets of the week. Tonnes of clips and tweets as ever and pudding is served by Matilda Thorpe.

After 14 years of Conservative rule, Britain voted on Thursday for change. But what should the world expect from a Labour government? 2024 is the year of democracy. More people than ever in history will go to the polls - 2 billion in over 60 countries. But it's also a year of rising nationalism. With Europe at war, Trump possibly returning and Labour winning by a landslide, today we bring you an exclusive conversation with former British Foreign Secretary David Miliband. Miliband was one of the key architects of Tony Blair's New Labour. Now as the CEO of the International Rescue Committee in New York, he has a unique perspective on global affairs across 50 countries. David is also part of the Giant Ventures advisory board. To understand what a Labour government will look like, with some predictions for geopolitics and the US election, David joined the FT's Gillian Tett. This was recorded in mid June, before the UK election result and Biden's debate debacle... a week is a long time in politics. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rob discusses Ed Miliband's endorsement of the Future Homes Standard as a solution to the cost of living crisis. Miliband visited a zero bills new build site in Staffordshire, impressed by Octopus Energy's initiative guaranteeing zero energy bills for five years on homes equipped with solar panels, a home battery, and a heat pump. Rob raises critical questions about the sustainability and feasibility of the initiative, questioning how Octopus Energy can afford to provide zero bills and the environmental impact of the technology involved.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Future homes standard could potentially help tackle the cost of living crisis, according to Ed Miliband. Octopus Energy's initiative offers zero energy bills for five years on new homes with solar panels, a home battery, and a heat pump. Questions arise about the sustainability of Octopus Energy's zero bills tariff and the potential reliance on government subsidies. The concept of a zero bills home may not be entirely accurate if additional charges like standing charges, water bills, or council tax are still applicable. Considerations about the environmental impact of mining and technology involved in creating eco-friendly homes should be taken into account when promoting future home standards. BEST MOMENTS "It is clear that the UK needs a future home standard to help those struggling with the cost of living." "Although it might seem good on paper, there's some things to me that don't quite add up."  "What Ed Miliband went on to say is, 'I think it's really, really important to say to people, this is about the future and it's about tackling the cost of living crisis that people are facing.'"  "A zero bills home, well, having a No electric bill, okay, that's fine. What about standing charge? Do you still have to pay standing charge to Octopus?"  "If you're advertising a zero bills home, then someone might walk in and not expect any water bills, not expect any council tax bills, not expect any electric bills, not expect a standing charge bill."  VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newslondon/future-homes-standard-right-for-tackling-cost-of-living-crisis-ed-miliband/ar-BB1oVihX?ocid=winp2fptaskbar&cvid=c9e76fd9d39c46eabbef5830d293b0d0&ei=75 GET YOUR PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT FINANCE HERE: https://propertyfundingplatform.com/WharfFinancial#!/borrowerinitialregistration SOCIAL MEDIA/CONTACT US https://linktr.ee/thepropertynomadspodcast BOOKS  Property FAQs = https://amzn.to/3MWfcL4   Buy To Let: How To Get Started = https://amzn.to/3genjle   101 Top Property Tips = https://amzn.to/2NxuAQL  uk property, Investment, Property, Rent, Buy to let, Investing for beginners, Money, Tax, Renting, Landlords, strategies, invest, housing, properties, portfolio, estate agents, lettings, letting, business: https://patreon.com/tpnpodcast

Keir Starmer has been the leader of the UK Labour Party since 2020. This makes him Leader of the Opposition, and - if the polls are to be believed - Britain's next prime minister. Amid a revolving door of prime ministers, Brexit, and the pandemic, Starmer's rise from leader of the weakest Labour Party since the Second World War to being in poll position in the race for Downing Street has taken many by surprise. It's also left a public clamouring for more information about who this man is, what makes him tick, and what he believes in.This podcast tries to assess the validity of the conventional wisdoms that have grown up around Starmer. Starmer will face many challenges if he ever becomes prime minister, so it's important to think about who he is, before the demands of Downing Street swamp him. My guest today is Tom Baldwin. Tom is a British journalist who has worked for the Times and the Sunday Telegraph as political editor; he was also a senior political adviser to Ed Miliband when Miliband was Labour leader. Tom has also written Keir Starmer: The Biography, an unauthorised but authoritative account of the man himself. More recently than that he has also co-authored England: Seven Myths That Changed a Country and How to Set Them Straight.

Ein aufschlussreicher Artikel in Foreign AffairsEin Kommentar von Wolfgang Effenberger.Die US-Zeitschrift "Foreign Affairs" ist nicht gerade für eine kritische Diskussion amerikanischer Außenpolitik bekannt. In der Januar-/Februar 2023-Ausgabe der Hauspostille des US-Council on Foreign Relations erschienen denn auch wie erwartet kriegstreiberische Artikel vom Neokonservativen Robert Kagan, vom ehemaligen US-Botschafter in Moskau, Michael Anthony McFaul, und von anderen Hardlinern. Erstaunlicherweise konnte jedoch in der Mai-/Juni 2023-Ausgabe nun der frühere britische Politiker David Wright Miliband – er war von 2007 bis 2010 Außenminister des Vereinigten Königreichs und ist seit 2013 Präsident des "International Rescue Committee" mit Sitz in New York - den lesenswerten Artikel "Die Welt jenseits der Ukraine - Das Überleben des Westens und die Forderungen des Rests"(1) veröffentlichen.Am Anfang seines Artikels zitiert Miliband die Aussage "Die Ukraine hat die Welt geeint" des ukrainischen Präsidenten Wolodymyr Selenskij in seiner Rede zum ersten Jahrestag des Beginns des Krieges mit Russland und stellt folgerichtig fest:„Der Krieg hat zwar den Westen geeint, aber er hat die Welt gespalten. Und diese Kluft wird sich nur vertiefen, wenn die westlichen Länder die Ursachen nicht beseitigen“;er gibt dem französischen Präsidenten Emmanuel Macron recht, der auf der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz im Februar 2023 sagte:"Ich bin erstaunt, wie sehr wir das Vertrauen des globalen Südens verloren haben."(2)Für Miliband geht die Kluft zwischen dem Westen und dem Rest der Welt deutlich über die Frage von Recht und Unrecht im Ukraine-Krieg hinaus. Sie sei vielmehr „das Ergebnis einer tiefen Frustration - in Wahrheit Angst - über das vom Westen geführte Missmanagement der Globalisierung seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges. Aus dieser Perspektive wird die konzertierte westliche Reaktion auf die russische Invasion in der Ukraine, bei der der Westen gegen seine eigenen Regeln verstößt bzw. bei der er im Hinblick auf die Bewältigung globaler Probleme auffällig untätig war, in ein grelles Licht gerückt… Die Kluft zwischen den Perspektiven ist gefährlich für eine Welt, die mit enormen globalen Risiken konfrontiert ist. Und sie bedroht die Erneuerung einer auf Regeln basierenden Ordnung, die ein neues, multipolares Gleichgewicht der Kräfte in der Welt widerspiegelt.“Leider kommt im Text wiederholt die Forderung nach einer "auf Regeln basierenden Ordnung" vor. Dieser Terminus wird außerhalb der "westlichen Wertegemeinschaft" vehement abgelehnt. Warum ist das so?Regelbasierte OrdnungNach den beiden Weltkriegen und dem Kalten Krieg sind die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika zum mächtigsten Land der Welt aufgestiegen und haben sich nach dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion und der Auflösung des Warschauer Pakts immer rücksichtsloser in die inneren Angelegenheiten anderer Länder eingemischt. Deutlich wurde dieses Vorgehen beim völkerrechtswidrigen Angriff auf Rest-Jugoslawien im März 1999 (ohne UN-Mandat). ...weiterlesen hier: https://apolut.net/umdenken-in-der-elite-der-us-politik-von-wolfgang-effenberger Hosted on Acast.

As the world watches the aftermath of the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, we are confronted with a sobering reality: delivering aid in a region rife with conflict and political instability is an immense challenge. On the GZERO World podcast, Ian Bremmer and David Miliband, President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, discuss the dire situation in Turkey and Syria —especially in the northwest of Syria, where delivering aid remains an uphill battle.   As if the pre-existing crisis wasn't enough, the earthquakes have worsened the situation, leaving people without medical care as the region deals with a deadly cholera outbreak and freezing winter temperatures. Meanwhile, in Turkey, the earthquake has sparked a debate about corruption and poor governance, with the response likely to become a major issue in the upcoming election. Right now, the most urgent need is ensuring aid and humanitarian assistance continue to reach the people who desperately need it.   Adding to the urgency is the ongoing refugee crisis in Turkey and throughout Europe. Miliband gives his prescription for the four elements of fair migration and stresses the urgency of "balancing fairness and humanity by fulfilling legal and moral obligations" towards those who have been displaced from their homes.

As the International Rescue Committee releases its annual report of the countries most at risk from humanitarian crises next year, the NGO's president, David Miliband, discusses the ways in which the international community is failing on international aid. Miliband, the former foreign secretary, discusses the British government's lack of a coherent foreign policy; why the world misses having the UK take its place on the world stage; the impact the invasion of Ukraine is having on other crises across the world; and how climate change is exacerbating disasters.

Britain is facing a winter of discontent after 100,000 civil servants voted to strike today as comrades on the rail network agreed new dates and nurses decided on taking industrial action for the first time in more than a century. Salto de Castro, found in north-western Spain, has 44 homes, a hotel, a church and a swimming pool has been put up for sale by the current owner. The village is built over 65,000 square feet along the hilltops in the province of Zamora, near Spain's border with Portugal. But despite its picturesque location, Salto de Castro is home to no inhabitants, and has been abandoned for more than three decades. Morocco announced on Friday, November 4, that it had appointed a new person to oversee the public company that is in charge of the project to construct a 40km tunnel under the Strait of Gibraltar to link the north African county to Spain. During the Moroccan government council meeting held on Thursday 3, it was decided to appoint AbdelKabir Zahoud. Spain briefly closed parts of its airspace over risks posed by a Chinese rocket re-entering Earth's atmosphere. Barcelona and Ibiza airports were among those impacted by the grounding, which lasted around 40 minutes on Friday. The decision came after China sent its powerful Long March 5B rocket to deliver the final module of its Tiangong space station. Greta Thunberg believes it is time for her to 'give up the megaphone' on climate change issues - but called for more 'civil disobedience' as eco-protests sweep Europe.The teenage activist, 19, wants to step out of the limelight to make room for people who are actually suffering the effects of climate change, four years after starting her world-famous 'school strike for climate' movement Four people were killed, including a teenager, and eight others were injured early on Sunday after a car rammed into members of a wedding party near Madrid following a brawl, police said.The fight erupted at dawn outside a restaurant that was hosting the wedding in Torrejón de Ardoz, some 25 kilometres northeast of Madrid. The new regulations, which introduced fines for both, produced the desired effect and while prostitution continues, it is hidden from view. Fewer homeless are now seen sleeping in the city centre and many have moved on to neighbouring Elche. Mariano Valera, Elche's Social Rights councillor, condemned the Alicante City law, approved with the votes of the Partido Popular, Ciudadanos and Vox parties, as “shameful” when it came into force. Watching violent television programmes from a young age has been scientifically linked to poor performance at secondary school. Researchers from the University of Montreal analysed the content shown to nearly 2,000 children aged 3.5 to 4.5. When the kids turned 12, the team asked them and their teachers to evaluate how well they thought they were doing at school. It was found that boys and girls exposed to violent content in early childhood were more likely to experience 'increases in emotional distress' later on. Uk Labour's Ed Miliband today backed calls for taxpayers' money to be given to countries such as Pakistan and the Maldives for 'loss and damage' from climate change.The shadow climate and net zero secretary insisted it was 'morally right' to hand money to poorer nations that are 'on the frontline of the climate crisis'.As the Cop-27 climate change summit begins in Egypt, Mr Miliband stressed it would also be in Britain's 'self-interest' to boost aid to developing countries.But, while he highlighted both Pakistan and the Maldives as possible recipients of 'loss and damage' payments, he denied it would also see China handed cash

“Conflict, climate and the economic consequences of Covid-19 are feeding off each other in a vicious circle, with 54 conflicts, 100 million displaced people and 345 million people going to bed hungry every night.” This was the stark picture painted by President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, David Miliband in this week's episode of Beyond the Headlines. The National's editor in chief Mina Al-Oraibi spoke to Mr Miliband during his visit to Abu Dhabi to discuss concerns about the lack of adequate funding to support the most vulnerable in the world, in addition to the impact that the Ukraine war will have not only on Ukrainians but people around the world directly and indirectly.

Anoosh Chakelian and Freddie Hayward are joined by Ed Miliband, the shadow climate change and net zero secretary and former Labour leader, to discuss Keir Starmer's speech from the Labour Party conference in Liverpool.They discuss the pledge to create a publicly owned “Great British energy” company to cut bills and the conference slogan “A fairer, greener future”; how the economic turmoil will affect their ability to deliver these promises; and whether Miliband would advise a note of caution to the optimistic party faithful. Then the New Statesman polling expert, Ben Walker, joins the podcast to discuss a recent YouGov poll that shows Labour leading the Tories by 17 points and whether the plunging pound has damaged public confidence in Liz Truss's government.

“I guess it's times like these remind me, that I got to keep my feet on the ground.” Not my words, friends, but the words of popular hit-parade botherers McFly, and indeed the Saints's feet were kept on the ground this weekend after the dizzying heights of Livi away, but come and keep the good times rolling with Sam and Dan with Episode 48 of The Dogger Saints Podcast! So the winning run stopped at one, but we discuss what was, all told, a decent point with ten men at home to Dundee United. Now, we like the football, but you know what we possibly like even more? Features, baby, and have we ever got some features for you! This weeks visit to The Royal sees a hugely conflicting fashion choice on the cool scale, we stock up the Club Shop of Shame by caring enough to send the very best from East Anglia, Ian is the latest to have a pop at deciphering Wendy, and somehow Lynne's Diary makes it to a second appearance. This week's Headline Act sees a very welcome first for us, as we chat to former Saints Women's skipper, more recently of Partick Thistle, Jade Greenshields, to discuss the women's game in Perth and beyond, juggling football, work and motherhood, booting teabags into mugs, and making plan for a big Dogger Saints trip to see McFly. A real treat, and not one to be missed. Sam's non-stop celebration! Dan's old French teacher again! Centre-Left politics with Drey Wright! We've got it all, plus Saints on Stage and a look forward to a trip to Paisley. Get there!

This week Christopher Hope brings you three books to bestow upon the political nerd in your life this Christmas. And we've even given Chopper's listeners enough time to order them, regardless of potential supply issues! Don't say we don't treat you. Legendary broadcaster Michael Cockerell joins Chris to talk about 'Unmasking our Leaders: Confessions of a political documentary maker', which charts his infamous interviews with 12 Prime Ministers, and a few party leaders for good measure. Find out why he calls his guests "subjects, not victims, Chris!", which interviewee was the grumpiest, and how he managed to get Boris Johnson to admit he'd like to be PM before anyone else. Also on the podcast, journalist Steve Richards on 'The Prime Ministers We Never Had', his book looking at major figures on politics that didn't quite make the leap to the top. Listen to Steve's justification for including Jeremy Corbyn, and pitch for the film no one needs on the Miliband brothers. Plus leader of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party, Alan 'Howling Laud' Hope, on being the longest serving party leader in British history, and how the Beatles wouldn't exist without him (yes, really).Unmasking Our Leaders: Confessions of a Political Documentary-Maker, by Michael Cockerell: https://www.bitebackpublishing.com/books/unmasking-our-leadersThe Prime Ministers We Never Had: Success and Failure from Butler to Corbyn, by Steve Richards: https://atlantic-books.co.uk/book/the-prime-ministers-we-never-had/The Great White Hope: The Life and Times of Alan ‘Howling Laud' Hope, by Alan Hope: https://www.amazon.co.uk/GREAT-WHITE-HOPE-Times-Howling-ebook/dp/B087QN7468For 30 days' free access to The Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/chopper |Listen to Planet Normal: www.playpodca.st/planetnormal |Email: chopperspolitics@telegraph.co.uk |See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On the show, the second of a two-part interview, Chris Hedges discusses with Professor David Harvey the social, political, and economic consequences of neoliberalism and globalization, exploring alienation, the rise of authoritarianism, the significance of China in the world economy, the geopolitics of capitalism, carbon dioxide emissions and climate change, and our collective response. In our previous show, we discussed central themes raised in ‘The Anti-Capitalist Chronicles' by Professor David Harvey, who is distinguished professor of anthropology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Library Journal calls Professor Harvey “one of the most influential geographers of the later 20th century.” Professor Harvey earned his Ph.D. from Cambridge University and was formerly professor of geography at Johns Hopkins, a Miliband fellow at the London School of Economics, and Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography at Oxford. You can hear him on David Harvey's Anti-Capitalist Chronicles, a bimonthly podcast that looks at capitalism through a Marxist lens. He also gives a series of lectures called Reading Marx's Capital with David Harvey on his website DavidHarvey.org, which – if you have not read volumes I and II of Marx's Capital – is an invaluable way to match your reading with insightful commentary on this classic work.

On the show, the first of a two-part interview, Chris Hedges discusses with Professor David Harvey the reconfiguration of global capitalism, the contradictions of neoliberalism, the financialization of power, the commodification of spectacle, rate versus mass of surplus value, and other issues fundamental to economic theory.

Isabel Allende once said 'accept the children the way we accept trees'. However, trees aren't responsible for the Iraq War, mass incarceration, or claiming that Hemingway would have bombed Syria. So this week we are joined by Jack Frayne-Reid of Reel Politik fame to discuss a most important question: how do we judge fathers Miliband, Harris, Buttigieg and Benn? /// SHOW NOTES /// /// CREDITS /// Hosts: Aarjan /// Ruairi Guest: Jack Frayne-Reid Production: Aarjan Music: Cardio /// Yusuf / Cat Stevens - Father & Son

In this episode the podcast, Sam Harris speaks with David Miliband about his work with the International Rescue Committee. They discuss the crisis of internally displaced peoples and refugees, the problem with open borders, the vetting of refugees, the limits of nation-building and diplomacy, the realities of globalization, global risks, defending human rights, a “post-values and post-competence” America, the breakdown of trust in institutions, the prospects of a second Trump term, and other topics. David Miliband is President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), where he oversees the agency’s humanitarian relief operations in more than 40 war-affected countries and its refugee resettlement and assistance programs in over 20 United States cities. Under Miliband’s leadership, the IRC has expanded its ability to rapidly respond to humanitarian crises and meet the needs of an unprecedented number of people uprooted by conflict, war and disaster. The organization is implementing an ambitious global strategy to bring clear outcomes, strong evidence and systematic research to the humanitarian programs through collaborative partnerships with the public and private sectors. From 2007 to 2010, Miliband was the 74th Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom, driving advancements in human rights and representing the U.K. throughout the world. In 2006, as Secretary of State for the Environment, he pioneered the world’s first legally binding emissions reduction requirements. He was Member of Parliament for South Shields from 2001 to 2013. Miliband graduated from Oxford University in 1987 and received a master’s degree in political science in 1989 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which he attended as a Kennedy Scholar. Miliband’s first book, Rescue: Refugees and the Political Crisis of our Time, was published by TED Books in November 2017. Website: Rescue.org Twitter: @DMiliband @RESCUEorg

International Rescue Committee president and CEO David Miliband joins CBS News correspondent Errol Barnett to discuss how the developing world is handling the coronavirus pandemic gripping the globe. Miliband says we need to tackle the virus as a connected world since so much of our lives are globally interconnected. According to Miliband, access to testing remains an issue in many nations and COVID-19 is adding to a heightened sense of fragility among already fragile states.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The coronavirus pandemic has overwhelmed even countries with advanced health care systems, stable politics and resilient economies. For countries affected by conflict and crisis, the potential impact of the disease is truly terrifying.New analysis by the IRC shows that South Sudan has just four ventilators for a population of 10.9 million people. In Moria refugee camp in Greece, the population density is 8.5x higher than on the stricken Diamond Princess cruise ship. In Yemen, the world's largest humanitarian crisis, 18 million people do not have access to proper hygiene, water and sanitation, and a ceasefire was violated just two days after it was signed. Half of Venezuela's doctors have left the country since the beginning of the economic crisis, and 90% of hospitals face shortages of medicine and critical supplies.These societies face a double emergency as COVID-19's health effects are coupled with escalations in conflict and political and economic instability provoked by the outbreak. IRC's analysis shows that immediate action to prevent the spread of the disease is imperative.Join us for a conversation with President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and former British Foreign Secretary David Miliband on what the international community can do to mitigate the impact of coronavirus in fragile countries and refugee camps."Should we fail," Miliband says, "not only will the most vulnerable pay the price today for the inaction of the international community, the consequences will be felt across the globe for years, if not decades, to come."

Idlib, Syria is the last rebel holdout of the Syrian civil war, a bloody battle that is now in its ninth year.

Sixty-five million people were displaced from their homes by conflict and disaster in 2016. It's not just a crisis; it's a test of who we are and what we stand for, says David Miliband -- and each of us has a personal responsibility to help solve it. In this must-watch talk, Miliband gives us specific, tangible ways to help refugees and turn empathy and altruism into action. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jonathan Derbyshire, the Managing Editor of Prospect magazine, and Observer columnist Nick Cohen discuss the genealogy of left wing politics in Britain. The thinker and psychoanalyst Slavoj Zizek takes on the ideology machine of Hollywood in his new film, The Pervert's Guide to Ideology. Directors Richard Eyre and Stephen Unwin discuss their two respective productions of Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts, which have both just opened. Melissa Benn asks what messages we are conveying to young women and what advice we should be giving our daughters to empower them for the future.

The Mail has been caught up in a storm of criticism over its Ralph Miliband stories and how it responded to Ed Miliband's demand to reply, but is there anything the current press regulator could do with complaints over cases like this? Would the situation differ under any of the systems being considered following the Leveson report? Is there a clear enough distinction between fact and opinion? That's to be discussed by Brian Cathcart, director of Hacked Off and Peter Preston, former editor of The Guardian. Following TV's digital switchover, an announcement's expected for the switchover of network radio from FM to digital. Culture minister Ed Vaizey's said we'll hear by the end of this year. Will a date be set? Ford Ennals, CEO of the Digital Radio UK, is in charge of making the change happen and is confident there'll be progress. Gillian Reynolds, the Telegraph's radio critic, is not convinced. And how concerned should TV networks be about the viewing figures for soaps? There's been a marked decline over the last ten years but figures appear to be stabilising at a lower level - in the case of Eastenders, occasionally lower than Emmerdale. Stephen Price, broadcast consultant, looks at the competition that's grown up since the soaps' heyday. David Liddiment, former executive producer of Coronation Street and Lisa Holdsworth, who wrote for Emmerdale, look at what, if anything, is going wrong.Presenter: Steve Hewlett Producer: Simon Tillotson Editor: Andy Smith.
