The National Strategy for Women and Girls was announced by Minister for Children, Norma Foley, and aims to "level the playing field for women and girls of all ages to eliminate all forms of discrimination against them".Since its launch, it has faced much criticism for being more about warning against the tradwife movement, with some women feeling criticised for choosing to stay at home with the kids rather than in the workforce.What is the focus, and is the Government right to warn girls against the tradwife narrative?Brenda Power, Columnist with the Daily Mail and Sunday Independent joins Shane to discuss.

The majority of active pharmaceutical ingredients come from other countries. Whose responsibility is it to secure America's future in healthcare innovation? Dr. Jeremy Levin is clear: everyone.

In this episode of the Campus Technology Insider Podcast, we present the keynote from Jay James, cybersecurity operations manager at Auburn University, delivered at the May 2026 Tech Tactics in Education Conference. James argues that a widening gap in AI literacy is leaving students and workers unprepared as AI adoption accelerates, citing data on low training rates, rapid growth in AI-required roles, and major economic and cybersecurity impacts. He illustrates how Auburn's student-staffed Security Operations Center builds real AI-embedded experience through authentic tools, mentorship, failure tolerance, and consequential outcomes, highlighting a student project that improved phishing visibility and influenced leadership decisions. James outlines institutional readiness levels and calls for starting with practical use cases, building faculty development, and creating sustained industry feedback loops to produce AI-ready graduates. 00:00 Podcast Introduction 01:00 Keynote Roadmap 02:18 George Story Setup 04:22 Why Readiness Matters 06:12 Workforce Data Reality 10:12 AI Fluency Surge 14:55 Opportunity and Equity 17:10 Cybersecurity Skills Gap 20:22 Auburn SOC Model 22:32 George Phishing Dashboard 24:54 Five Ingredients for Success 29:08 Scaling Beyond Cybersecurity 30:58 Policy and National Strategy 33:24 Campus AI Versus Teaching 35:54 Readiness Levels Framework 37:37 Four Move Playbook 41:46 Closing Call to Action 46:00 Podcast Outro Resource links: Tech Tactics in Education Music: Mixkit Duration: 47 minutes Transcript (coming soon)

The National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism has been rewritten and the domestic terror strategy has changed, but has the real problem actually been solved? Nearly five years after the Biden administration transformed domestic surveillance, the Trump administration narrowed the counterterrorism focus back toward violence and criminal conduct. This episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast examines the Trump administration's revisions to the domestic terror framework, the constitutional dangers of the previous guidelines, and why the permanent bureaucracy remains one of the greatest threats to American liberty. While the revised strategy strips away vague ideological metrics like "anti-government" and "anti-authority" sentiment, the administrative machinery that enabled recent government abuses remains fully intact. From intelligence-sharing fusion centers to public-private censorship pipelines and sweeping surveillance authorities, the underlying weaponization infrastructure is merely waiting for the next administration. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Original Sin: How the 2021 Domestic Terror Strategy shifted the threshold away from criminal conduct and toward ideological "sentiment."  The Overhaul: Why the Trump administration's policy pivot represents a necessary constitutional correction.  The NSPM-7 Paradox: What National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 does, and how it could be turned against citizens again.  The Surveillance Pattern: How the Patriot Act, Total Information Awareness, and PRISM reveal 25 years of expanding bureaucratic power.  The Congressional Failure: Why Congress keeps passing clean FISA reauthorizations while abdicating real oversight.  Five years later, the debate is no longer about one president or one party. It is about whether a constitutional republic can survive a weaponized bureaucracy that treats political dissent, free speech, and ideological disagreement as predictive threat indicators.

Vilka likheter och skillnader finns mellan Biden-administrationens National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism och Trumpadministrationens United States Counterterrorism Strategy? I denna andra del pratar Jesper och Erik om innehållet i det två olika strategidokumenten.

China's 15th Five-Year Plan just made AI-powered robots the centerpiece of its industrial strategy. 54% of the world's industrial robots already deploy in China but the real play isn't humanoids dancing on TV. It's traditional industrial robotics turbocharged by AI, targeting full adoption within 5 to 10 years.Meanwhile, the zero-tariff Africa policy (now 5 days in) is revealing its true geometry: a 44% surge in Chinese FDI into the continent signals supply-chain anchoring, not just market opening. Rwandan chili farms scale from 15 to 300 hectares. Kenyan avocado oil rides the SGR rail to Chinese ports.Holiday consumption hit record highs, but the 500B yuan trade-in subsidy program is the hidden engine. Will it renew in H2?And 9 days out from Trump-Xi, Beijing bans drone sales citywide and frames Taiwan as the "biggest risk factor."

The SPLC indictment raises a much bigger question than nonprofit corruption: Did the FBI and federal bureaucracy use ideological organizations to shape domestic terrorism threat assessments? In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down how the Southern Poverty Law Center became a case study in state power laundering, where partisan activist labels were pushed into FBI work products, training, and the broader domestic terror framework. This episode goes beyond the outrage to expose how the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism, the Strategic Implementation Plan, and Action 1.1.1c created a backdoor around the Constitution. What You'll Learn: The Shadow Network: How the SPLC indictment connects to the FBI, informants, shell companies, and domestic terrorism analysis. The Case Study: Why the anti-Catholic memo revealed a much deeper pipeline between ideological nonprofits and federal agencies. State Power Laundering: How "non-governmental experts" help launder partisan narratives into official federal threat assessments. Vague Labels: Why terms like anti-government, anti-authority, extremism, hate, and misinformation can be used to target ordinary Americans. The Remedy: What Congress must do to dismantle the mechanism and stop the bureaucracy from using third parties to bypass the Fourth Amendment. This is not just about the SPLC. The SPLC is the case study. The bureaucracy is the threat. The mechanism must be dismantled.

A new report says Australia has no national strategy to regulate AI in the workplace, released as an AI forum in Adelaide examines the issue. The John Curtin Research Centre argues AI's impact on workers will be shaped not by technology, but by political decisions. - Isang bagong ulat ang nagsasabing kulang ang Australia sa national strategy o malinaw na plano para sa paglaganap ng AI sa mga lugar ng trabaho. Kasabay ito ng isang forum sa Adelaide na tumatalakay sa epekto ng AI sa mga manggagawa.

In this episode, Ayelet Biger-Levin sits down with Jamie Simmons to explore how scams have evolved from traditional fraud into a global, AI-driven threat rooted in human psychology.From his early days as a park ranger to leading fraud prevention at Capital One, Jamie shares why fighting scams today requires a shift toward prevention before manipulation happens and not just stopping payments after the fact.

Trump vs. the Machine reveals why the Deep State survives no matter who wins elections. Why has the Deep State survived despite years of promises to dismantle it? In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Nick Giordano examines how the first-ever National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism and the current NSPM-7 framework lowered the threshold for suspicion, blurred the line between ideology and violence, and created an architecture that can be turned against anyone. This episode breaks down the transparency divide inside the administration, why Tulsi Gabbard's declassification push is facing internal resistance, and why structural reform matters far more than symbolic prosecutions. What You'll Learn: How the Deep State survives presidents, elections, and party changes  The Pre-Crime Trap and how government shifts from evidence to monitoring indicia of belief  Why vague labels like anti-government and anti-authority are easily weaponized  Why Tulsi Gabbard's declassification effort matters to exposing institutional abuse  The Occupancy Problem and why inheriting the machine is not the same as dismantling it

Every month the French food world delivers stories that stop you in your tracks — and March 2026 is no exception. We're opening with the sweeping new trade deal between Australia and the European Union, which after eight years of negotiations has finally been signed — and buried inside the headlines about beef quotas and defence partnerships is a fascinating food story about naming rights, geographical indications and what it means when a country built on migrants claims the names of European cheeses and wines as its own.From there we move into the Michelin Guide France and Monaco 2026 — the big one. 62 new stars awarded at a ceremony in Monaco, a brand new three-star restaurant in Savoie, and a guide that is clearly rewarding a new generation of chefs opening deeply personal, sustainability-focused establishments throughout France. We also cover the Bocuse d'Or Europe coming to Marseille for the very first time, with Denmark taking the top spot and France finishing fifth on home soil — with all eyes now on the grand final in Lyon in January 2027.The second half of the episode gets into the stories that show just how politically charged food is in France right now. The government's long-awaited National Strategy for Food, Nutrition and Climate — and the extraordinary row that erupted over whether to use the word "reduction" or "limitation" when talking about meat. France's new ban on foods containing EU-prohibited pesticides, and what it says about the ongoing tension with South American agricultural imports. And a new Ipsos poll that found 97 percent of people in France have a good opinion of French food — but placed Burgundy at a somewhat controversial 28 percent in the most gastronomic region rankings. The people of Dijon will have something to say about that.We also cover the BBC Eye investigation into the illegal trafficking of European glass eels — a trade worth more per kilogram than cocaine that criminal networks have nicknamed the cocaine of the sea — and finish with festivals and events, including the Fest'Oie goose festival in Sarlat, the Merci Chef French culinary week in Athens, and the French Cultures Festival running across Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas throughout April.

At the Royal College of Anaesthetists' Centre for Perioperative Care (CPOC) Perioperative Leads Day in London, host Andy Cumpstey speaks with James White, a perioperative medicine clinician (and qualified general practitioner) working within the NHS in Cheshire and Merseyside, serving as Clinical Lead for Perioperative Medicine and contributing to national improvement work with the Centre for Perioperative Care, Simon Rang, consultant anaesthetist at East Kent Hospitals University NHS Trust who also contributes to national healthcare improvement work including with the Centre for Perioperative Care, and Denny Levett, Director of the Centre for Perioperative Care, and a Professor of Perioperative Medicine and Critical Care and Consultant at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Southampton. The conversation covers how UK perioperative medicine policy is implemented through evolving NHS structures. They explain the relationship between national policy (Department of Health, NHS England) and delivery via regions, integrated care boards (ICBs), and local trusts, emphasizing integrated pathways spanning primary and secondary care, particularly post-COVID. James outlines five core requirements: early perioperative screening, proactive optimization/prehabilitation, maintaining health while waiting, listing patients only when medically fit, and shared decision-making. The guests discuss how regional and ICB networks share solutions, address variation and barriers (including finances and culture), and use CPOC guidance and resources alongside initiatives like GIRFT to support consistent implementation. -- Join us at Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM) World Congress 2026 in London.

In a recent episode of the award-winning Consumer Finance Monitor podcast, Alan Kaplinsky was joined by Nick Bourke, Kate Griffin, and Ballard Spahr partner Joseph Schuster to discuss a groundbreaking new report from the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program: United We Stand: A National Strategy to Prevent Scams. The episode builds on Nick and Kate's prior appearance on the podcast last July, when the report was still in development. Now finalized, the report offers one of the most comprehensive frameworks to date for addressing what has become a systemic threat to American households and the broader financial system. The Scope of the Problem: A Systemic Threat Frauds and scams are no longer isolated consumer protection issues. According to the report, U.S. households are losing an estimated $196 billion annually to scams — roughly $1 billion every couple of days. One in five American adults reports having lost money to an online scam. As Nick Bourke explained, today's scams are: ·                 Technology-enabled ·                 Highly organized and industrialized ·                 Often operated by transnational criminal organizations ·                 Accelerating due to AI and faster payment systems The so-called scam "lifecycle" includes four stages: 1.     Lead – Hooking the victim 2.     Deceive – Building trust (often through impersonation or relationship-building) 3.     Bleed – Extracting funds 4.     Clean – Laundering proceeds, often through cryptocurrency or offshore channels Different sectors see only fragments of this lifecycle; social media platforms may see the "lead," financial institutions the "bleed," and law enforcement the "clean." That fragmentation allows criminals to scale operations while defenders remain siloed. Why Scams Are Rising Despite Heavy Investment As Kate Griffin noted, industry and government are investing heavily in prevention. Yet scams continue to grow. Why? ·                 Fragmentation across sectors: No single actor sees the entire attack sequence. ·                 Outdated reporting infrastructure: Federal systems at agencies like the FBI and FTC remain manual and technologically antiquated. ·                 Regulatory uncertainty: Financial institutions and technology platforms face unclear expectations about what data they can use and share. ·                 Speed of modern payments: Faster money movement means faster losses. Joseph Schuster emphasized that many financial institutions are strongly incentivized to prevent fraud as they often bear reputational and financial risk when scams succeed. But legal ambiguity, especially under statutes like the Fair Credit Reporting Act, can chill data-sharing and innovation. Core Recommendations from the Aspen Report The report outlines both high-level national reforms and granular operational improvements with more than 180 specific ideas. 1. Elevate Scam Prevention to a National Priority The report calls for: ·                 A designated federal lead (or "czar") to coordinate strategy ·                 A whole-of-government approach ·                 Clear national goals and metrics Without centralized leadership, enforcement and regulatory actions remain fragmented.  2. Modernize Law Enforcement Reporting Systems Federal reporting portals, including Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), the FBI's complaint systems, and the FTC's databases, require modernization. The report recommends: ·                 Streamlined, automated reporting ·                 Backend data interoperability across agencies ·                 Advanced analytics and AI tools for enforcement 3. Establish Clear Duties to Act Paired with Safe Harbors One of the most important themes discussed was the need for: ·                 Clear expectations for banks, telecom companies, and digital platforms ·                 Safe harbors that protect companies when sharing scam intelligence in good faith Countries like Australia have already codified such frameworks. The U.S. has yet to establish similarly coordinated standards. 4. Build a Cross-Sector Information-Sharing Ecosystem Effective scam prevention requires: ·                 Exchange of scam indicators (malicious URLs, compromised phone numbers, device patterns) ·                 Interoperable information-sharing platforms ·                 Privacy-preserving architecture ·                 Legal clarity to mitigate antitrust and consumer reporting concerns Joseph noted that industry appetite for collaboration is strong but clarity and guardrails are essential. 5. Consider a U.S. National Anti-Scam Center The report explores the idea of a centralized "front door", potentially something like stopscams.gov, that would: ·                 Serve as a national reporting hub ·                 Provide victim resources ·                 Facilitate coordination among law enforcement ·                 Support public education campaigns Social Media and Platform Responsibility The discussion also addressed the evolving role of digital platforms. Scam activity frequently originates through: ·                 Paid advertisements ·                 Dating applications ·                 Direct messaging ·                 Fake investment websites Compared to banks, social media companies operate within a less clearly defined regulatory structure. Courts are increasingly developing theories of "platform liability," but statutory clarity is lacking. The report urges policymakers to define reasonable expectations for platforms — paired with safe harbors and practical tools that empower prevention rather than merely assign blame. What Happens Next? The key question: who implements this strategy? Kate Griffin emphasized that this is a whole-of-society problem requiring coordinated action by: ·                 Federal leadership ·                 Congress ·                 Financial institutions ·                 Telecom and digital platforms ·                 Law enforcement ·                 Civil society There have been encouraging developments, including: ·                 Treasury and State Department sanctions targeting transnational scam networks ·                 A joint DOJ–FBI–Secret Service initiative targeting Southeast Asian scam operations o   But much more remains to be done. Nick Bourke suggested that, one year from now, real success would include: ·                 A designated federal anti-scam lead ·                 A congressional commission ·                 Measurable national prevention goals ·                 Corporate adoption of formalized anti-scam strategies Joseph Schuster added that industry innovation is ongoing, particularly in artificial intelligence, biometrics, and authentication, but warned that fragmented state-level regulation could complicate progress. Key Takeaways Alan Kaplinsky closed the episode with several important observations: ·                 Fraud and scams are now a systemic threat, not a niche compliance issue. ·                 Prevention, not just reimbursement, must be the organizing principle. ·                 Coordination matters as much as authority. ·                 Good-faith companies need regulatory clarity, not just enforcement pressure. ·                 Reducing scams strengthens trust in the U.S. financial system and digital economy. The Aspen report reframes the debate. Rather than assigning blame, it calls for aligned incentives, shared responsibility, and coordinated national action. If the title of the report, United We Stand, becomes reality, the United States may finally begin to bend the curve on one of the most costly and fast-growing threats facing consumers today.

The people who built the domestic terror apparatus are suddenly terrified it's being used. Professor Nick Giordano exposes the receipts they don't want you to see. When protest stops being protest and turns into intimidation, coercion, and violence, the government's response exposes a dangerous line between law enforcement and ideological control. This episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast examines NSPM-7 and the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism through a critical lens, separating lawful dissent and peaceful protest from the extremism now playing out in cities like Minneapolis. It explains how bureaucratic power expanded under the banner of public safety, why political elites are suddenly alarmed, and how pre-crime logic threatens constitutional liberties regardless of who holds office. What You'll Learn The clear legal and moral difference between peaceful protest and political extremism How NSPM-7 redefined dissent, association, and ideology as threat indicators Why intimidation, harassment, and obstruction cross the line from protest into extremism How Operation Arctic Frost and Prohibited Access files reveal institutional concealment and abuse Why dismantling domestic terrorism frameworks matters more than partisan outcomes This episode confronts selective outrage, exposes constitutional rot, and explains why a free society must protect lawful protest while rejecting extremism enforced through mobs or bureaucratic power.

"A pretty big turnaround," the Russian government called it. "Aligned with Russia," is how Atlanticist media is describing it. The updated US National Security Strategy is, on paper, something of a 'clean break' with the the United States' past . No longer seeking 'full-spectrum dominance' and stressing the impossibility of being 'policeman for the entire world', the US outlook on global affairs codifies Trump's vision of refocusing on 'the near-abroad', namely the Americas.

The Biden administration's covert Operation Arctic Frost targeted nearly 100 conservative groups and is proof that the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism and its Strategic Implementation Plan were used to criminalize political dissent. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes new documents from Senator Chuck Grassley that reveal how a group of FBI and DOJ officials launched and expanded this investigation, possibly to intimidate donors and silence opposition. He also confronts the free-speech hypocrisy and how the hunger for power threatens liberty. This is why we must get back to the principles of limited government.   Episode Highlights How Operation Arctic Frost began and why Grassley's findings point to a weaponized FBI targeting conservative groups and donors. The direct connection between Arctic Frost, the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism, and Tulsi Gabbard's declassified Strategic Implementation Plan. Why many are guilty of free-speech hypocrisy, and why only a return to limited government can preserve liberty.

Gurinder and Ravinder Sidhu were excited to welcome their third baby in June. That excitement turned to fear and then grief after Ravinder died from sepsis shortly after her son's birth. Gurinder joins us to talk about how he believes the nurses and doctors didn't act fast enough to treat his wife — and even ignored their pleas for help. And why he's calling for better sepsis care so no other family has to go through what he is enduring. Then two experts talk about why Canada desperately needs a sepsis strategy. An estimated one in eighteen deaths in Canada are from sepsis, many of which Fatima Sheikh, a PhD candidate at McMaster University, and Dr Kali Barrett, a critical care physician and affiliate scientist with the Health Systems and Policy Research Collaborative Centre at UHN, say are preventable.

Today, we talk about creativity—not as a luxury, but as a national strategy. Sheila Deegan is one of Ireland's leading cultural architects. Over three decades, she's shaped the artistic life of Limerick and helped reimagine the role of creativity in civic life. She now serves in the Creative Ireland Programme, a bold cross-government initiative that sees culture as a force for personal and national wellbeing. From children's creative freedom to climate action, from local festivals to cross-border partnerships, Creative Ireland asks a radical question: what happens when a country places imagination at the heart of public policy? Sheila Deegan joins me now to talk about that question—about culture, community, the role of art in a divided world, and what it means to build something lasting through the machinery of government."I left the local environment to pursue Creative Ireland because I really believe in this broader approach. Let's try not to silo things. Let's try and get people working collaboratively for the benefit of everybody, not just one program over the other. I really hope that young people can hold a sense of social justice as we move forward into a very complicated world. They need to remember that we're all just people and that we all just need each other, whether that's creatively or within the landscape or within the economics."Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

This episode breaks it all down and explains why every American, regardless of party, should be alarmed.

ODNI Director Tulsi Gabbard has just declassified the Biden administration's Strategic Implementation Plan for the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism and what it reveals should alarm every American. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the newly released SIP and exposes how the federal government built an infrastructure to monitor, censor, and investigate ordinary Americans under the guise of countering domestic extremism.

Professor Giordano explains how this system threatens civil liberties, how it could easily be turned against the Left under a future administration, and why immediate reforms are needed to dismantle the administrative state.
