Lesley appeared on Debate Night last week. We look back at this, the issues that were raised by the audience, and the replies of the panel.Here's the link to Lesley's justified rant over the energy rip off.https://www.facebook.com/reel/984639903833195Kneecap have clarified their position and apologised to the families of David Amess and Jo Cox after the accusations made over statements made during gigs. John Swinney has called for the group to be removed from the TRNSMT line-up, echoing those made by Kemi Badenoch and others over Glastonbury. Is this furore simply, as Kneecap have claimed, a distraction from the real issue of Israel's actions in Gaza?Meanwhile Louis Theroux has made a follow up documentary on the Israeli " settler" movement. We look at Daniella Weiss, the so called "Godmother" of the movement her actions ,the Zionist nationalist tradition she comes from, and the influence she has on the Israeli government.We turn our attentions to three sets of elections. The result of the Canadian General Election, the English local elections, and the Runcorn and Helsby by election. There has been a landmark decision at appeal giving Poet's Neuk, a local community group, the right to buy privately owned land under a compulsory purchase order. It's taken nine years after the passing of the 2016 Land Reform Act for this to happen for the first time. Will this set a precedent?All of this plus gig reviews and TV recommendations. ★ Support this podcast ★
Kim Leadbeater has been an MP since winning the Batley & Spen by-election for Labour in 2021. She was elected to the constituency that her sister, Jo Cox, had served until she was murdered during the 2016 Brexit referendum campaign. Having pursued a career in health and fitness, Kim hadn't initially intended on a life in politics, but she went on to champion social and political cohesion through the Jo Cox Foundation and the More in Common initiative. More recently, she has led the campaign to legalise Assisted Dying. The Bill is currently making its way through Parliament and has been described as the biggest social reform in a generation. On the podcast, Kim talks to Katy Balls about finding common ground with other Yorkshire MPs (including one former Prime Minister), why she thinks the growing popularity of Reform is a worrying sign of disillusionment in politics, and how she is more likely to retire than pursue a third career. The debate around Assisted Dying has been more ‘unpleasant' than expected but she has no regrets, and thinks that – most importantly – the national conversation around death has moved on. Despite a proposed extension, Kim hopes the Bill – if passed – will be implemented within 2-3 years. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

The Labour MP sits down with Nick to reflect on how she went from selling beds in her Yorkshire hometown, to being at the forefront of political debate as the face of the campaign to legalise assisted dying, and how the murder of her sister, Jo Cox, helps explain the journey.
She is the self-styled "proud Yorkshirewoman" at the centre of an extraordinary week at Westminster.Kim Leadbeater, the Labour MP behind a bid to legalise assisted dying for the terminally ill in England and Wales, was born in West Yorkshire in 1976.Before her life in politics, she worked in furniture sales and as an exercise instructor, before becoming a lecturer in health and exercise in her late 20s. But it was the murder of her sister Jo Cox in 2016 that saw her thrust into the public eye.After years promoting social cohesion with the Jo Cox Foundation and More In Common, in 2021 she became an MP in the same constituency her sister had represented. Mark Coles talks to family, friends and political allies, to understand the views and events that have shaped the woman at the centre of an intense, and highly charged debate.Production TeamProducers: Nathan Gower and Ben Cooper Editor: Ben Mundy Sound: James Beard Production Co-ordinators: Maria Ogundele

In the wake of the Brexit referendum in 2017, Wes Streeting had only been an MP for two years... and had won two elections in as many years. In this month's Playback, we take you back to that time - away from the election spin of 2024 - to understand the man most likely to be Britain's new health secretary. Would you be an MP, at a time when public trust in politicians has fallen to the lowest level in living memory? Could you dedicate yourself to your constituents, yet also make time for your family, fighting fires on social media and keeping the media on-side? Wes Streeting, Labour MP for Ilford North since 2015, entered the fray in time to experience the Brexit vote, the murder of his colleague Jo Cox, and the Palace of Westminster coming under terrorist attack. In this candid interview with Olly, he lifts the lid on day-to-day life as a young MP in the House of Commons, from his experiences adapting to the weird traditions of voting and speaking in the House, to the perils of navigating Westminster's gossipy backstairs bars and their modern-day digital equivalents on WhatsApp... Like politics beyond the headlines? Then discover what it's like on the campaign trail, as Olly spends a month with Lib Dem candidate Layla Moran for the 2019 election: https://www.modernmann.co.uk/new/candidate Learn more about your ad choices.

It was just before 8pm one Friday evening when a tricolour-waving crowd, wearing scarves and masks to conceal their identities, gathered outside a house on an estate in Greystones, Co Wicklow. They did not try to hide the location of the semi-detached house behind them. It was the home of Taoiseach Simon Harris. What is driving this alarming trend? Is social media to blame? And could Ireland be on the cusp of its own Jo Cox moment? Host: Ellen Coyne GUEST: John MeagherSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
di Massimiliano Coccia | in collaborazione con Linkiesta | Rassegna stampa del 17 06 2024 Otto anni fa veniva uccisa Jo Cox, deputata britannica laburista ed europeista. La uccise un neonazista al grido di “Britain first”. Il suo sangue è ancora sull'asfalto di quella strada di Leeds a dirci che la democrazia non è mai completamente al sicuro.
L'émission 28 Minutes du 18/05/2024 Ce samedi, Renaud Dély décrypte l'actualité avec un regard international, en compagnie de nos clubistes : Eva Morletto, correspondante à Paris pour le magazine italien “Grazia” — Richard Werly, correspondant à Paris du quotidien suisse "Blick" — Gil Mihaely, directeur de publication des revues "Causeur" et "Conflits", et le dessinateur de presse Pierre Kroll. Poutine en Chine : “l'amitié sans limites” qui défie l'Occident ? À l'occasion de son premier voyage à l'étranger depuis son investiture pour un cinquième mandat au Kremlin, Vladimir Poutine était en Chine, jeudi 16 et vendredi 17 mai. Cette visite d'État répond au voyage effectué à Moscou par le président chinois, Xi Jinping, en mars 2023 et se tient l'année du 75e anniversaire de l'établissement des relations diplomatiques entre les deux pays. Le président russe entend bien mettre en scène “l'amitié sans limites” avec Xi Jinping, qu'il vantait déjà en février 2022, quelques jours avant d'envahir l'Ukraine. Une amitié qui s'est notamment renforcée au travers d'intérêts commerciaux et géopolitiques. La Chine soutient publiquement la Russie, même si elle n'a jamais approuvé l'annexion d'une partie du territoire ukrainien. Et Xi Jinping ne veut pas se couper totalement de l'Occident, lui qui était en visite d'État en France il y a quelques jours. Que penser de cet axe Moscou-Pékin ? Faut-il le craindre ? Après Robert Fico : faut-il craindre une explosion de la violence en politique ? Le Premier ministre slovaque Robert Fico — ultraconservateur et pro-russe — a été touché par balle “plusieurs fois” mercredi 15 mai après une réunion de cabinet à Handlova, dans le centre du pays. Dans un état critique, il n'est “pas dans une situation qui menace sa survie en ce moment”, selon le vice-Premier ministre. L'auteur de cette tentative d'assassinat, un écrivain de 71 ans marqué politiquement à gauche, a affirmé être en désaccord “avec la politique du gouvernement”. Cet attentat intervient alors qu'en Europe, les violences contre les politiques ou les élus se multiplient. Le 4 mai, un eurodéputé allemand du SPD avait été attaqué et grièvement blessé alors qu'il collait des affiches électorales. Cette semaine, “Der Spiegel” mettait en Une la photo taguée avec une cible d'Olaf Scholz, titrée : “La nouvelle haine des politiques”. En 2016, c'est la députée travailliste britannique Jo Cox qui était assassinée à quelques jours du vote du Brexit. Comment expliquer cette violence en politique ? Valérie Brochard nous donne des nouvelles de nos très chers voisins européens : ce week-end, direction la Catalogne. Pour la première fois depuis les années 1980, les partis indépendantistes ont perdu la majorité au Parlement. Mené par l'ancien ministre de la Santé Salvador Illa, le parti socialiste catalan (PSC) est arrivé en tête des suffrages lors des élections régionales. Jean-Mathieu Pernin zappe sur "le feuilleton judiciaire de l'année" aux États-Unis : le procès pénal de Donald Trump. L'ancien président américain est accusé d'avoir falsifié des documents pour dissimuler les 130 000 dollars versés à l'ancienne star du X Stormy Daniels afin d'acheter son silence, juste avant la présidentielle de 2016. Dans ce procès historique, un témoin central vient d'être appelé à la barre : Michael Cohen, l'ancien avocat de Donald Trump, prêt à tout révéler. Ce week-end, Olivier Boucreux décerne le titre d'employée de la semaine à l'actrice et réalisatrice Greta Gerwig. Après avoir conquis le box-office mondial avec son film "Barbie", qui a rapporté plus d'un milliard de dollars, elle préside cette année le jury du Festival de Cannes marqué par le mouvement #MeToo et des femmes puissantes. Dimanche 12 mai, un groupe d'orques a percuté et coulé un voilier de quinze mètres, dans le détroit de Gibraltar, sans faire de victimes. Pour éviter les représailles de pêcheurs ou de plaisanciers à l'encontre des orques, des associations comme Sea Shepherd ou OceanCare ont rappelé que ce type d'incident n'est pas une attaque ciblée contre les humains, et que ces mammifères marins sont en danger critique d'extinction. Alix Van Pée nous raconte. Solide, léger et flexible, étanche et résistant au feu : et si le bambou était une plante magique pour sauver le monde ? Avec ses milliers d'espèces et ses multiples utilisations, ce matériau low tech pourrait nous aider à affronter les crises environnementales, économiques et même sociétales aujourd'hui. Pour l'autrice et éditrice Jeanne Pham Tran, le bambou est une véritable "passerelle entre nature et culture", et nous relie au vivant. Dans son essai "Révolution bambou", elle nous invite à découvrir les vertus de cette plante majeure en Asie, symbole de souplesse, de sobriété et de résilience. Enfin, ne manquez pas la Une hexagonale de la semaine et la question très intéressante de David Castello-Lopes. 28 Minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Elisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio.

A black swan moment. The assassination attempt of populist Slovak leader Robert Fico has shocked both Slovaks and Europeans. But in hindsight it is easy to point to security lapses and a climate of verbal violence in a country that finds itself increasingly polarised. Our guests take a look. When British member of parliament Jo Cox was assassinated by a deranged constituent during the 2016 Brexit campaign, that too seemed like a black swan moment. Are these isolated cases or part of a broader trend?And who stands to benefit from these heinous crimes?Slovakia's government has asked senior leaders in its own ranks to tone down accusations that the opposition and the media are to blame. More broadly, as the whole continent gets set to vote in the EU elections, how much fear and loathing can we expect to see on this campaign trail?Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Guillaume Gougeon and Imen Mellaz.
We can all agree that being lonely is bad. But apparently, science shows it's really, really bad. Indeed, being lonely is so dangerous to your health that its equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. And it gets worse: we're in the middle of a loneliness epidemic, meaning that the health of millions is at risk.In this episode of The Studies Show, Tom and Stuart ask two questions: is there actually a loneliness epidemic?

As Labour announces its plans to reclaim 'Levelling Up', Sam Freedman and Ayesha Hazarika are joined by Ed Balls to discuss the dual challenges of tackling economic and regional inequality and going for growthBoris Johnson's claim to end the North-South divide has been a spectacular disaster in terms of going from a box office slogan to something of any substance at all. Councils across the UK are on the brink of collapse and bankruptcy and economic equality across the country has never been more entrenched.So what happens now? Can the agenda move into reality and what would an actual Levelling Up plan look like? Are people going to buy it anymore without any tangible progress to show for it, and ultimately what is the role of Westminster vs local authorities and regional mayors.Tackling regional inequality is not only an end in itself but also a means in going for growth - an absolute imperative for the next government. Both Labour and the Tories have said they want to deliver growth, but what is the path for delivering it? It has to be a key priority for the next Prime Minister, as part of a central growth drive, working with and not against business, championing open markets and consumers as well as a comprehensive backing for combined authorities with devolved powers.Ed also speaks to Sam and Ayesha about podcasting with George Osborne, Labour's workers rights package as well as never being invited to give the Mais lecture. He is also the first guest to face our new Power Questions section - where he calls for Keir Starmer to grasp the theme of Global Britain and be confident about the UK's outward facing role in the world, how Jo Cox's legacy can help heal divisions in politics and ultimately, how the party should be willing to say when it thinks other parties have done good things that it will continue in government.

In this heartfelt conversation, Julia is joined by Brendan Cox, a passionate campaigner and activist dedicated to counter-terrorism and community cohesion. Brendan is also the father of two bereaved children, a role he assumed tragically after the murder of his wife, MP Jo Cox, in 2016. From listening to this conversation, you'll quickly discover Brendan's emotional thoughtfulness and intelligence as he shares his journey, providing insights on several crucial aspects of life: KEY DISCUSSION POINTS: The Unfixable Tragedy: Brendan opens up about the profound impact of Jo's death and how he grappled with the painful realization that this tragedy was unfixable. It forced him to confront the limits of his power and ultimately surrender to them. A Clear Purpose: Amid the complexity and trauma, the need to focus on his children gave Brendan a clear sense of purpose and meaning in his life. This newfound clarity motivated him to strive to be "a better dad every day." Embracing the Unvarnished Truth: Brendan learned that, for himself and his children, honesty, no matter how difficult, was far better than a lie or false protection. This unwavering trust they built in one another prevented them from being manipulated by external forces providing conflicting information. Living Life to the Fullest: Brendan shares his philosophy of living life to the full, a commitment to "burning the candle at both ends and sort of throwing ourselves into adventures." This approach infused him with the energy to not only persevere but to find joy, adventure, and inspiration in his role as a parent. The Power of Community: The Cox family found solace and strength in their community. Being known by neighbors, feeling safe, and fostering connections played a vital role in their healing and growth. Brendan also reflects on the evidence of how a community can act as a safeguard against mental illness, violence, and extremism. A Call to Connect: As you listen to this conversation, you may find ideas to strengthen your connection to your community and the thought-provoking question: "Out of 10, how connected do I feel?" In the face of adversity and loss, Brendan Cox's story is a testament to the power of embracing tragedy, finding support in community, and nurturing compassion. Support Links: For further exploration, Julia recommends Julian Abel's book, "The Compassion Project" and encourages you to explore the concept of compassionate communities.

Colm speaks to Kim Leadbeater MP on the murder of her sister Jo Cox.
In broad daylight, on a warm summer afternoon in 2016, British politician, and MP for Batley and Spen, Jo Cox, was murdered in cold-blood. Horrified witnesses at the scene, scrambled at the sound of gunshots, and the sight of an unknown attacker with a sawn-off rifle, and knife in hand. Jo Cox's death stunned the nation, and sent shockwaves through Britain's political circle.As investigators begin to gather evidence that would explain the horrific murder of a beloved politician, wife, and mother of two, the nation is left with a pressing question–what could have possibly led a man with seemingly no history of violence to brutally murder a female MP that he had never met? The answers to that question were more troubling than anyone could have imagined.Join my Facebook group for some great giveaways, discuss case theories and take part in polls for future episodes.

Exactly one week ago, Hannah climbed with her nine-month-old baby, three other children, six other adults, two dogs and a cat onto the roof of a Puketapu house, trying to escape rising flood water. A pool cover sheltered them from the torrential rain, while the flooded Tutaekuri River was lapping at the gutter on the roof of their home. Hannah and others made half a dozen calls to 111, and were told rescuers were on their way to save them. But nobody came. Hannah and her mother, Jo Cox, recount the story.
Knowsley is the suburb of Merseyside where a recent anti refugee protest turned into a riot outside a hotel housing asylum seekers. Amid violent scenes a police van was set on fire and 15 arrests made. This follows the firebombing last October of a processing centre for migrants in Dover. Back in 2016, the MP Jo Cox was murdered by Thomas Mair to advance the cause of white supremacism; while in 2019 neo Nazi Jack Renshaw was jailed for life for plotting to kill another MP Rosie Cooper – Renshaw, was a former member of the BNP and the now banned terrorist organisation National Action. Despite these and other incidents a review of the government's anti terror Programme Prevent by William Shawcross suggested that too much emphasis was being placed on radicalisation by the far right…not enough on Islamist extremism. His findings have been accepted by the Home Office. Does he have a point? Or is Shawcross in danger of downplaying one risk, while exaggerating another. Adrian Goldberg hears from Labour MP Afzal Khan, Professor John Holmwood a sociologist from Nottingham University and in a moment Zoe Gardener a long time migration rights campaigner.Produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg and Harvey White.

Back in the day when she was best known as Tricia Armstrong in Coronation Street, Tracy Brabin did not shy away from national politics, appearing in Labour campaigns and using her stardom to generate interest in the political project. But it was the tragedy and brutal murder of her friend Jo Cox in Tracy's hometown which catapulted her into the Commons. Now the first Mayor of West Yorkshire, she speaks to James about her life and the shocking events in the aftermath of Jo's death.
La prima volta che Dio dice: "Non è buono" di qualcosa non è per un peccato... ma per la solitudine. Siamo stati creati con il bisogno di essere in contatto con altri. Se questo bisogno scompare, mancherà qualcosa nella vita. La chiesa esiste affinché le persone possano incontrarsi e vivere in supporto l'uno dell'alto.---Predicatrice: Jean GuestCLICCA SUL TITOLO PER ASCOLTARE IL MESSAGGIOTempo di lettura: 9 minutiTempo di ascolto audio/visione video: 34 minutiAll'inizio di quest'anno mio figlio minore e la sua compagna sono andati in vacanza a fare escursionismo nel parco nazionale di Yosemite, negli Stati Uniti. Mentre erano lì, continuavo a ricevere messaggi da parte loro di quanto fosse meraviglioso il paesaggio, del fatto che il tempo fosse bello, ma non troppo caldo, e un messaggio su quanto fossero simpatiche le persone con cui si erano ritrovati al campeggio. Dopo una dura giornata di cammino, loro e gli altri giovani si riunivano intorno al falò, condividevano il cibo e i racconti delle loro vite - Tom dice che è stato incredibile incontrare così tante persone interessanti provenienti da tutto il mondo, che ti hanno fatto "sentire parte di qualcosa di più grande". C'era però una tenda in cui le persone non partecipavano e non parlavano mai. All'inizio tutti pensavano che forse non parlassero inglese o che fossero timidi, ma quando la coppia ha continuato a respingere tutte le avances, alla fine si è trasformato in un piccolo gioco su chi potesse spiegare la freddezza della coppia, perché sembrava davvero strano. Credo che la supposizione favorita sia stata che fossero in fuga dall'FBI. Quando gli esseri umani non cercano la compagnia di altri esseri umani sembra un po' strano. Nella nostra cultura pop il serial killer sembra sempre essere un solitario; il nostro linguaggio quotidiano è pieno di modi di dire per descrivere le persone che non si uniscono; "il lupo solitario"; i solitari spirituali sono eremiti. Non unirsi non sembra essere "normale". Non parlo di coloro che sono timidi per natura o degli introversi tra noi, siamo quello che siamo, ma parlo del caso estremo quando le persone si allontanano attivamente dagli altri e rifiutano di far parte di una comunità. E c'è una ragione per cui sembriamo avere questa reazione. Ricordate la prima volta che Dio dice: "Non è buono"? Non parla di peccato, ma di solitudine.“Poi Dio il Signore disse: «Non è bene che l'uomo sia solo; io gli farò un aiuto che sia adatto a lui».” (Genesi 2:18)È il momento di una piccola tangente e di un altro dei rapidi smontaggi del patriarcato da parte di Jean.La prima cosa in tutta la creazione che Dio definisce "non buona" è il bisogno disperato di donne. Questo è il primo accenno al fatto che l'"aiutante adatto" che Dio crea non è subordinato, ma assolutamente necessario. Prima che il peccato corrompesse il rapporto tra i sessi, Dio sembra considerare la donna necessaria quanto l'uomo.L'espressione ebraica per "aiutante adatto" è "ezer knegdow". La parola "knegdow" viene tradotta per lo più come "adatto" e si riferisce a una controparte esattamente corrispondente. Letteralmente, si riferisce a "stare di fronte a". Qui sembra implicare che entrambi i generi sono incompleti senza l'altro. Ognuno di essi ha qualità e caratteristiche generali intrinseche che mancano all'altro e dipende dal contributo dell'altro.La parola "ezer" viene spesso tradotta con "aiuto" o "aiutante". Quando vediamo la parola "aiutante", spesso pensiamo a una persona inferiore che potrebbe rendere più facile un compito, ma non è assolutamente necessaria per la sua realizzazione. Ma ovunque nella Bibbia, al di fuori di questo secondo capitolo della Genesi, questa frase descrive esclusivamente il modo in cui Dio stesso aiuta il suo popolo. Non si tratta di un aiuto a caso. È il tipo di aiuto senza il quale non si può funzionare.Torniamo al motivo per cui è umano avere bisogno di legami con gli altri.Vi ho già mostrato questa icona in passato. Ma non mi scuso per mostrarvela di nuovo, perché dimostra in modo eccellente che Dio è tre persone in una e che noi siamo fatti a sua immagine e somiglianza. Se Dio ha bisogno di comunità, allora noi portiamo questa caratteristica nel nostro DNA. E pensateci: perché Dio ci ha creati? “Camminerò tra di voi, sarò vostro Dio e voi sarete mio popolo” (Levitico 26:12)Siamo stati creati per essere in comunità con Dio. Quanto è bello questo? E da quando abbiamo scelto diversamente, Dio sta lavorando nella storia perché questo sia di nuovo vero.Dio e gli esseri umani sono fatti l'uno per l'altro e gli esseri umani per funzionare bene hanno bisogno di altri esseri umani. Cosa canta Barbara Streisand nella canzone "Peolple"? "Le persone…. le persone che hanno bisogno delle persone sono le persone più fortunate del mondo".Ed ecco un'altra cosa incredibile su come siamo stati creati. Le lacrime emotive hanno un contenuto proteico più elevato rispetto alle lacrime dovute ad una situazione frustrante, il che fa sì che cadano più lentamente lungo le nostre guance, aumentando così la possibilità di essere notate e di ricevere conforto e cure. In modi fisiche e letterali, il nostro corpo è costruito per incoraggiare l'essere in comunità.Ecco cosa dice l'ultima relazione scientifica dell'Unione Europea sugli effetti della solitudine:Le ricerche dimostrano che la solitudine e l'isolamento sociale hanno ripercussioni dannose sulla salute mentale e fisica, nonché conseguenze significative sulla coesione sociale e sulla fiducia nella comunità. Sia la solitudine che l'isolamento sociale sono quindi sempre più riconosciuti come problemi critici di salute pubblica che meritano attenzione e devono essere affrontati con strategie di intervento efficaci.Negli Stati Uniti il 45% degli adulti si sente solo e isolato. Nel Regno Unito i giovani adulti di età compresa tra i 18 e i 24 anni sono il gruppo che dichiara di sentirsi solo "spesso o quasi sempre". L'Italia, e forse vi sorprenderà saperlo, registra una delle più alte percentuali di persone che si sentono sole in tutto il mondo - l'Italia è al 5° posto nel mondo per quanto riguarda la solitudine autoriferita."L'idea che l'italia abbia una "cultura comunitaria" è un mito", ha dichiarato Marco Trabucchi al giornale The European. "Forse esisteva 20 o 25 anni fa, ma certamente non oggi". La solitudine è un fenomeno globale. Mi spingerei oltre e lo definirei quello che la fondazione Jo Cox ha etichettato come "il male gigante".Ma perché è importante e cosa ha a che fare con la Chiesa? Penso che sia importante per due motivi, ma oggi ne tratterò solo uno; il secondo motivo verrà presentato nella terza parte, quando esamineremo il ministero ecclesiastico.Penso che sia importante perché non è da Dio. Abbiamo già visto che non è così che siamo stati creati, né rispecchia il Creatore e questo lo addolora.Dobbiamo anche stare attenti, come cristiani, a non cadere nell'individualismo che può portare all'isolamento. Ho sentito persone dire: "Posso essere cristiano senza andare in chiesa". Tecnicamente è vero. Per molte delle nostre sorelle e dei nostri fratelli nel mondo non possono letteralmente andare in chiesa perché è contro la legge, non hanno altra scelta che essere cristiani che non vanno in chiesa. Ma pensate davvero che quegli stessi cristiani, se ne avessero la possibilità, resterebbero nella loro cella di prigione, o a casa, piuttosto che andare in chiesa? Ecco cosa ha detto Iktimal, un cristiano iraniano, dopo essere stato rilasciato, all'organizzazione cristiana Porre Aperte:"Hanno pregato con noi, hanno ascoltato la nostra storia, sono stati al nostro fianco", dice Iktimal. "Dio era con noi. Ha mandato quelle persone a starci accanto, erano come angeli. Il loro amore ci ha avvicinato a Gesù; ci hanno dimostrato l'amore di Dio".E ascoltate cosa intende fare Paolo nel momento in cui viene rilasciato dalla prigione di Efeso.“Al tempo stesso preparami un alloggio, perché spero, grazie alle vostre preghiere, di esservi restituito.” (Filemone 22)Si incontrerà con questa cosa meravigliosa chiamata chiesa di Colosse che si riunisce nella casa di Filemone; di lui e di loro si parlerà ancora la prossima settimana.So che Marco l'ha già detto, ma lo ripeterò: non possiamo fare chiesa in modo isolato. Ed ecco perché.L'istruzione che Gesù diede ai primi discepoli al momento dell'incontro non fu "credi in me", e nemmeno "ascoltami", ma "seguimi!". Ed essere seguaci di Gesù significa stare con Gesù. Diamo uno sguardo a Marco capitolo 3“Poi Gesù salì sul monte e chiamò a sé quelli che egli volle, ed essi andarono da lui. Ne costituì dodici, ai quali diede anche il nome di apostoli, perché stessero con lui, per mandarli a predicare e perché avessero il potere di [guarire le malattie e di] scacciare i demòni.” (Marco 3:13-15)Chiamò quelli che voleva andassero con lui, dovevano accompagnarlo. Prima che a loro, o a noi, venga affidato un ministero, dobbiamo prima essere con Gesù, dobbiamo accettare l'invito a entrare in relazione con lui.E guardate lo schema: chiamò i dodici da un gruppo più grande. Sappiamo che mandò i settantadue (Luca 10) e gli scrittori del Vangelo parlano spesso delle folle che lo seguivano. Non si trattava di persone che si presentavano solo per ascoltare il nuovo rabbino; lo seguivano. Se ripensiamo alla serie sulle parabole, il punto della moneta perduta e della pecora smarrita non è semplicemente che sono state trovate, ma che sono state trovate e restituite alla cassa e al gregge. Essere ritrovati significava entrare a far parte di qualcosa di più grande.Essere con Gesù significa essere con gli altri, che ci piaccia o no. Sapete che Gesù poteva avere molto da ridire su ciò che accadeva nel tempio e con i responsabili del tempio, ma ci andò lo stesso. Si presentava comunque nella sinagoga.“Si recò a Nazaret, dov'era stato allevato e, com'era solito, entrò in giorno di sabato nella sinagoga e si alzò per leggere.” (Luca 4:16)Andava “come era solito", era un habitué. Come al solito, ci sono le dovute eccezioni a tutto ciò, perché nulla è mai solo bianco o nero. La pandemia ha lasciato alcune persone fragili che hanno timore di mescolarsi alla folla; dobbiamo dare loro il permesso di elaborare il trauma; un giorno saranno di nuovo pronte a partecipare. Molte persone che lottano con la salute mentale non riescono ad affrontare l'allegro e propositivo "Alleluia! Amen!" della chiesa; dobbiamo sostenerle, facendo loro sapere che a volte va bene non sentire che tutto va bene. Nella mia chiesa nel Regno Unito, c'era una donna stupenda che conviveva con la più angosciante delle malattie mentali. Quando la sua vita era al massimo della disperazione, aveva l'abitudine di venire a sedersi in fondo alla chiesa, senza partecipare, spesso con la testa china come se non potesse sopportare la luce. In quei momenti della sua vita diceva: "Non riesco a lodare Dio, ma gli altri che lo fanno mi tolgono un po' di oscurità". La chiesa dovrebbe essere il luogo più sicuro sulla terra dove le persone possono venire così come sono. Ci riuniamo come chiesa non perché è un dovere, e nemmeno perché ci fa bene, ma perché è l'unico modo per crescere bene ed essere il movimento per l'amore e la giustizia che Gesù ci chiama ad essere è riunirci.“È lui che ha dato alcuni come apostoli, altri come profeti, altri come evangelisti, altri come pastori e dottori, per il perfezionamento dei santi in vista dell'opera del ministero e dell'edificazione del corpo di Cristo, (...) ma, seguendo la verità nell'amore, cresciamo in ogni cosa verso colui che è il capo, cioè Cristo. Da lui tutto il corpo ben collegato e ben connesso mediante l'aiuto fornito da tutte le giunture, trae il proprio sviluppo nella misura del vigore di ogni singola parte, per edificare se stesso nell'amore.” (Efesini 4:11-12, 15-16)Gli occhi hanno bisogno delle mani e dei piedi, altrimenti stanno solo a guardare; le mani e i piedi hanno bisogno degli occhi, altrimenti non sanno dove andare. Ci riuniamo perché per essere Chiesa abbiamo bisogno gli uni degli altri.Amen.GUARDA LE DIAPOSITIVE DEL MESSAGGIOGUARDA IL MESSAGGIO IN BASSA RISOLUZIONE SU FACEBOOKGUARDA IL MESSAGGIO IN BASSA RISOLUZIONE SU INSTAGRAM---GUARDA IL VIDEO DEL MESSAGGIO IN HD

As I am typing up the show notes for our latest podcast, news has come in that former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe has been assassinated during a campaign event. A sad, sinister reminder that contrary to what the soon former prime minister of the UK would have us believe, it's not all a laugh and a half. As if we needed reminding. The murder of Sir David Amess was only nine months ago, and Jo Cox was killed just before the Brexit Referendum, in June 2016. Culture wars and wedge politics will only ever make things worse. Even The Spectator is now pushing back against the growing Trumpification of political discourse in the UK. But that was never an issue for the P.T. Barnum of British politics and his confederacy of dunces, as Sam generously labels Her Majesty's continuously thinning Government. But the times they are about to be a-changin: together with a majority of – not just the Westminster commentariat but – the great British public, the SmallDataForum punditariat on Friday rejoiced in the news that finally, FINALLY, the Shagamemnon (thanks Marina Hyde) of Downing Street, the tousled blonde cherub, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, announced his resignation on 7 July as leader of the UK's Conservative Party. He remains Prime Minister until a new party leader is voted on by Conservative MPs and party members. Continue reading -> https://www.smalldataforum.com/
Conservative MP Sir David Amess died on 15 October 2021, after being stabbed more than 20 times during a constituency surgery. Ali Harbi Ali has been found guilty of his murder and of preparing acts of terrorism. Sir David is not the first MP to have been killed or injured in recent years. Is enough being done to keep MPs safe? On the Sky News Daily podcast with Anna Jones, our political correspondent Joe Pike gives us details on the Ali case and explores the wider issues of MPs' safety. Also, Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, whose sister Jo Cox was murdered in her constituency in 2016, shares what it was like hearing the news of the attack on Sir David, Labour MP Angela Rayner on the daily online abuse of politicians, and security expert Ed Hill tells us what more can be done to protect our representatives.

Local body candidates say rules requiring them to put residential addresses on campaign advertisements put them at risk.The rules are being described as outdated, with some wanting them scrapped.Stories of harassment towards public figures, particularly women, are rising and come as we head towards local body elections later this year.Dunedin Mayor Aaron Hawkins told Mike Hosking he's had his address given out online and his car vandalised outside his home.“I don't think we need to wait for a Jo Cox-type situation to happen before we start mitigating the risks.”Jo Cox was a British MP murdered in her Yorkshire constituency in 2016.Hawkins says he doesn't see the public interest in where he lives.“Whole different thing when you're involving people's home and people's families which really should be off-limits regardless of your political stripes.”LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Does it seem the whole world has lost its collective mind? We are a polarized country, for sure, but Imran Ahmed says fundamentally we are no different than we've ever been. It's just that online social media and big tech are using behavioral psychology, mathematical algorithms, and the protection of current legislation to have their way with our heads and consequently, as evidenced by January 6th, our fists. Imran gives us practical ways to stop the madness and predicts new protective legislation for us and our kids is coming. // If you have questions or guest suggestions, Ali would love to hear from you.

Boris Johnson is facing fresh calls from Tory MPs to say sorry for his comments about Sir Keir Starmer's failure to prosecute Jimmy Savile, after the Labour leader was targeted by protestors near Parliament on Monday. In footage posted online, demonstrators can be heard shouting "paedophile protector". The false claim about Jimmy Savile was made last week by Boris Johnson as he responded to the initial findings of an inquiry into lockdown parties in Downing Street. The Prime Minister said the behaviour directed at Sir Keir last night was "absolutely disgraceful". Today's Nick Robinson speaks to Brendan Cox, co-founder of Survivors Against Terror whose wife Jo Cox was murdered in her constituency of Batley and Spen in 2016. He also speaks to Conservative minister Chris Philp MP and Philip Grindell, the police officer who set up the team responsible for MPs security following the Labour MP Jo Cox's murder. (Image credit: Victoria Jones/PA Wire)
Several MPs are calling on the Prime Minister to apologise for comments he made about Sir Keir Starmer in the commons, after the Labour Leader was mobbed outside Westminster.Last week the PM made a discredited claim that Sir Keir ‘failed to prosecute Jimmy Savile' when he was director of public prosecutions; a comment repeated by a group of protestors who surrounded the Labour leader yesterday.Tory MP Tobias Ellwood has warned the UK is moving towards a ‘Trumpian style of politics' and the sister of murdered MP Jo Cox, Kim Leadbeater tweeted “Words have consequences, leaders have a duty to behave responsibly & politics is not a game”.The Evening Standard's Political Editor Nicholas Cecil discusses the calls for Boris Johnson to apologise, whether politics is moving into a ‘Trumpian era', and whether the Savile slur was a political tool to divert attention away from ‘Party-gate'.Check our our brand new business podcast An Invitation to Meet: https://pod.fo/e/10a2d1 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
He's the youngest ever chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee with a military career served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Tom Tugendhat MBE MP is an Arabic speaker and a fervent supporter of Israel who names of one the Jewish state's Prime Ministers as a political hero(ine), Golda Meir. He takes this opportunity to pay tribute to the small band of Jewish soldiers serving in the British military. This episode remembers Lieutenant Paul Mervis from the 2nd Battalion, The Rifles, who was killed near Sangin in northern Helmand, Afghanistan in June 2009. He's campaigning for the Law of Treason to apply to terrorist atrocities committed at home by British citizens after the unspeakable murders of fellow MPs Sir David Amess and Jo Cox and according to our mutual friend, Nick Timothy, former chief of staff at number 10, he'd make a great Foreign Secretary, perhaps en route to party leader, and as with most Tories, that means Prime Minister. I met Tom for the first time a few months before this interview as he helped launch EMAN, the Extremist Monitoring Analysis Network which aims to "combat hate speech and extremist ideologies by profiling radical individuals and organisations of all faiths". This is Tom Tugendhat MBE MP.
En Gran Bretaña, el asesinato de un diputado conservador el pasado viernes a manos de un joven islamista aparentemente radicalizado fue rotulado a las pocas horas como un ataque terrorista. Sir David Amess (EIMéS) fue acuchillado múltiples veces mientras participaba de una reunión con electores en una iglesia metodista, durante su semana distrital. El asesino, Ali Harbi Ali, un ciudadano británico de ascendencia somalí que fue detenido sin resistencia en el mismo lugar del crimen, está siendo procesado bajo la ley antiterrorista. El crimen sacudió al país, que hace cinco años había lamentado el asesinato de otra parlamentaria, la laborista Jo Cox, también durante una reunión con electores, a manos de un joven radicalizado en el supremacismo blanco. Como es lógico, el atentado del viernes aumentó la preocupación sobre la seguridad de los parlamentarios y sobre el peligro de la radicalización via online de jóvenes británicos en torno a posiciones extremistas y violentas. Pero también, como nos cuenta nuestro entrevistado de hoy, revivió la preocupación sobre otro tipo de violencia: la del lenguaje en el debate político.

The sister of Jo Cox - who was murdered by a far right terrorist four years ago - she is an energetic campaigner who is fiercely proud of her local roots.

Weeks after losing Hartlepool to the Tories, Labour has another major test in the Batley and Spen by-election. This is the constituency once represented by Jo Cox - murdered by a far right terrorist in 2016 - and it's a diverse community. But many voters feel disillusioned with the current main opposition, not least British Muslims, 86% of whom voted Labour nationally in 2019 but who feel that loyalty is not reciprocated. With the controversial George Galloway standing, some are determined to vote for him to give Labour a bloody nose. How much further does Labour's electoral coalition have to fragment as its naturally most loyal voters feel taken for granted?I visit the constituency to speak to everyone from George Galloway to Andy Burnham - presumed to be a likely successor as Labour leader - to Kim Leadbeater, Labour's candidate, to local voters to work out what's happening to the opposition - and where that leaves our crisis-stricken country.Videographer: Jack Barraclough.Help make these documentaries happen here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

On this week's episode, Alina Utrata talks to Dr. Matt Mahmoudi, who just completed his PhD in Development Studies at Cambridge University as a Jo Cox scholar of Refugee and Migration Studies. They talked about Matt's research about how technology is affecting migrant and refugee communities in New York City and Berlin, how seemingly innocuous technology, like free WiFi kiosks, can become de facto digital borders, what racial capitalism can tell us about Shoshana Zuboff's “surveillance capitalism”, and if a decolonial neo-Luddite approach to tech is possible. Plus, why New York City should ban police use of facial recognition scan.

MPs have urged the prime minister to apologise after he said the best way to honour Jo Cox, the MP murdered during the EU referendum campaign, was to get "Brexit done". This afternoon Mr Johnson defended his description of a law seeking to block a no-deal Brexit as "the surrender bill".

What is this strange thing called the Bilderberg Group? Is it something that we should we be concerned about? Or is it, as many people say, essentially just a "talking shop" for rich people? To put us in the picture, we welcome back to the programme Tony Gosling, investigative radio journalist and former BBC reporter. Tony, who came on TMR back in 2013 to discuss the "official" and "unofficial" histories of this infamous Group, now joins us to share his experience of covering the 64th Bilderberg Meeting, which was held recently in Dresden, Germany, between the 9th and 12th of June. We also discuss the political climate here in the UK following the EU Referendum, and the anti-Corbyn coup by the parliamentary Labour Party. (For show notes please visit http://themindrenewed.com)
Last week, I offered some brief reflections on hatred in various forms, including racism, xenophobia and homophobia. As I was leading that meditation and reflecting on those themes, Jo Cox was being murdered less than a mile from my home. This week, I felt I had to say something about Jo, and the importance of practising mindfulness meditation in a way that deepens us. This episode of the podcast is dedicated to Jo Cox, MP.
