From the BBC World Service: Factories in China have long been an engine of economic growth, so it's worrying for leaders in Beijing that a new survey shows activity unexpectedly contracted in November. It's the eighth straight month that production has shrunk. What's it telling us about the world's second biggest economy? And later, Iran is experiencing an unprecedented drought, with rainfall at record lows and reservoirs nearly empty. Officials are pleading with citizens to conserve water.

Hong Kong's fire department says firefighting and rescue efforts have concluded at the residential complex where a fire killed at least 128 people. Officials say about 200 people remain missing.

The authorities in Hong Kong say more than 80 deaths have now been confirmed after the city's worst fire in decades. Officials think that number will grow, with more than 200 people still missing. It's unclear what caused the fire but the eight residential blocks were undergoing renovations. The contractor is reported to have breached safety requirements on multiple occasions during construction projects. We speak to a former firefighter who is an expert in tower fires.Also on the programme: How Israel's offensive on Lebanon has continued, despite a ceasefire; and a scientific study casts new light on how cats came to be domesticated and part of the daily life of so many human beings.(Photo: Smoke billows from an apartment fire in the Tai Po district of Hong Kong, China, 27 November 2025.

This week we go into the dark heart of American Gestapo: Gregory Bovino's Border Patrol, which pushes ICE to become even more aggressive in his fascist feverdream.  Here to help us make sense of this hellscape is Nick Schwellenbach, a Senior Investigator at the Project on Government Oversight and former Communications Director at the U.S. Office of Special Counsel–a government agency set up after Watergate, meant to protect us from the next Nixon–more on that in this week's bonus show out Thursday.  Bovino grew up a Border Patrol fanboy idolizing fascist fiction and now stalks American cities in a Nazi-style trench coat with a taxpayer-funded film crew glamorizing his violent raids. Like Trump is a showman, Bovino is cruelty as a recruitment tool to consolidate power. Under his un-checked leadership, his border patrol army operates deep inside the U.S., smashing car windows, kidnapping U.S. citizens, and rounding up tens of thousands of people, including veterans and children, into detention centers where deaths are spiking at unprecedented rates.  With the help of questions submitted by a Gaslit Nation listener (thank you, Isabel!) we go into all the pressing questions about Bovino's Border Patrol and also ICE, including what happened to the children who disappeared under Trump's first term and what can be done to protect vulnerable immigrants today? As you listen to this episode, which opens with a clip of Bovino justifying shooting protesters with pepper balls, keep in mind Republicans gave ICE, which works closely with Bovino's Border Patrol, $75 billion over the next four years. They're also operating under aggressive weekly quotas. But is their war chest also for general population control?  For our bonus episode this week, we look at the safeguards that could have prevented Trump's return and why they didn't.

Turning to Bovino, the Court specifically finds his testimony not credible.  Bovino appeared evasive over the three days of his deposition, either providing "cute" responses to Plaintiffs' counsel's questions or outright lying." "To the extent that agents use ChatGPT to create their use of force reports, this further undermines their credibility and may explain the inaccuracy of these reports when viewed in light of the BWC footage." https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ilnd.487571/gov.uscourts.ilnd.487571.281.0_3.pdf

Episode 4952: Holding Political Officials Responsible Over Treasonous Claims; Utilizing The Economic Strength Of The US

Mark has intriguing insights to share about the benefits of eating foods containing pumpkin. Meanwhile, a recent discovery in New York City, twenty-four years after the events of 9/11, has brought to light boxes containing detailed records of the air quality at the time. These findings raise new concerns regarding the transparency of political officials who were in charge of the city during that period, especially as more citizens and first responders have reported long-term health issues linked to exposure to the toxic smoke from the collapsing buildings. The revelation of these records may further erode public trust in those officials. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews former Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa. Curtis shares his firsthand observations of rising crime across New York City's boroughs. Sliwa expresses concern about the visible spike in criminal activity, especially after midnight when fewer NYPD officers are on duty, increasing the city's vulnerability. Also, Andrew Cuomo's political future, with speculation about whether the former governor plans to remain active in the political arena or seek future office, looks strong.

A potential revamp of the Belvedere, along Louisville's waterfront, has been a big priority for Mayor Craig Greenberg. And it's a topic that got a lot of people talking thanks to a bold early design (which has now been abandoned.) We get an in-depth update on the project this week on the Access Louisville podcast via an interview with Layla George, who's managing the reimagining effort.In an interview with LBF Editor-in-Chief Shea Van Hoy, George talks about what she's heard from the public since that initial design from Heatherwick Studio came out early this year. People had strong opinions about it, but as she explains, the idea has been scrapped because of the structural work it would have required. Now project officials are looking at what's next for the site."There's so much potential to the site that's untapped right now," she said. "We are long overdue for Belvedere version 3.0." Those behind the project have certain amenities they want to see up there, she explains — a covered stage, shade, seating, a walking path and a better, more accessible connection to the Ohio River.A new design is currently under development and could be released by February. Officials are working through the cost estimates before releasing new designs, she said. George said she visited around 50 parks and public spaces in cities across the country for design inspiration. Interestingly, though, many places that featured beautiful landscape design were empty. And so, she explains on the show "success really looks like a lot of people using the space, all the time." Two strong examples from her travels she shouted out were Klyde Warren Park in Dallas and Discover Green in Houston. They were both of which were packed during times where no special events were going on — just daily life, she explained."Those two parks were models for me. After seeing that, I thought, we can absolutely do that at the Belvedere." You can hear more in the interview itself. Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

Ohio's Country Journal editor Brianna Smith talks with Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) Director Brian Baldridge and State Veterinarian Dr. Dennis Summers about the ongoing national concerns surrounding Equine Herpesvirus Myeloencephalopathy (EHM), which is caused by the equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) virus. While seven states are currently dealing with EHM, Ohio has no known clinical cases, though ODA is "heavily monitoring" the situation and working to keep the equine industry informed. Dr. Summers explains that early symptoms often look like a typical respiratory infection: nasal discharge, coughing, and a sudden fever spike. Later cases can involve inflammation around the spinal cord and brain, leading to hind-end incoordination and even disorientation. He urges horse owners to be proactive with biosecurity and quick to report concerns. Owners should contact their local veterinarian first, then reach out to ODA's Division of Animal Health at 614-728-6220 to determine whether symptoms need to be reported. Director Baldridge and Dr. Summers emphasize that awareness and early communication are key to keeping Ohio's horses safe.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports on European leaders' cautious optimism after talks on the U.S. proposal to end the war in Ukraine.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports senior officials are offering few details on negotiations on U.S. proposals to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

The American occupation began amidst vast ruins; Japanese officials burned evidence regarding atrocities like Nanjing. Class A crimes focused on aggressive war, targeting senior leaders like Tojo Hideki. Crucial prosecution evidence was found in the detailed diary of the emperor's advisor, Kido Koichi. The US Supreme Court ruled against jurisdiction over earlier military commissions. The International Military Tribunal for the Far East was subsequently established.

In Geneva on Sunday, U.S. officials put the heat on Ukraine to accept a peace deal to end the war with Russia or else.

This initiative was part of the CBDC's pilot phase and was implemented using the mBridge platform. Officials say this marks a move toward domestic rollout, with more widespread adoption planned across both public and private sectors. The UAE deploys an extensive and sophisticated surveillance tool system across public spaces and digital communications, raising concerns that placing transactions on a state-controlled CBDC ledger would further centralize visibility over everyday financial activity. In Context: Project mBridge connects the CBDCs of China, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, and Thailand into a unified, programmable settlement system. Designed to give central banks real-time visibility and control over cross-border flows, the surveillance-ready platform risks exporting the financial governance model of authoritarian states.

President Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law on Wednesday, ordering the Justice Department to release all unclassified documents related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days. The law bars the withholding or redaction of records for political reasons, although protections remain for victims, ongoing investigations, and sensitive material.Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) and three others have been indicted for allegedly stealing $5 million in FEMA disaster funds in 2021. Prosecutors say the money was tied to a COVID-19 vaccination staffing contract, and allege it was laundered through multiple accounts and used to support her special-election campaign. Officials also allege she routed funds through friends and family as straw donations.Federal authorities say they've dismantled a major methamphetamine smuggling operation from Mexico into Colorado, part of a two-year probe that led to 15 indictments and one of the largest meth seizures in state history. At sea, meanwhile, the U.S. Coast Guard says its crews have just offloaded more than 49,000 pounds of cocaine in Florida—the biggest haul ever from a single Coast Guard patrol.

The Transportation Security Administration is proposing an $18 fee for travelers without REAL ID or valid passports, allowing identity verification through biometric systems at checkpoints.

US correspondent Todd Zwillich spoke to Lisa Owen about a number of US military officials visiting Ukraine to discuss bringing an end to the war with Russia, as well as more twists and turns in the trial of former FBI director James Comey.

This Day in Legal History: Ratification of the Bill of Rights by New JerseyOn November 20, 1789, New Jersey became the first state to ratify the Bill of Rights, a landmark moment in American constitutional history. Just months after the U.S. Constitution went into effect, debate over its lack of explicit protections for individual liberties sparked calls for amendments. Responding to this concern, James Madison introduced a series of proposed amendments in the First Congress in June 1789, aiming to ease Anti-Federalist fears and solidify support for the new federal government. Congress approved twelve amendments on September 25, 1789, and sent them to the states for ratification.New Jersey acted swiftly, ratifying eleven of the twelve proposed amendments less than two months later. The state rejected the first proposed amendment, which concerned congressional representation, and accepted the rest, including protections for freedom of speech, religion, the press, the right to bear arms, and safeguards against unreasonable searches and seizures. New Jersey's early endorsement gave momentum to the broader ratification effort, which required approval by three-fourths of the states.By December 15, 1791, ten of the amendments had been ratified by the necessary eleven states and became known as the Bill of Rights. These provisions would become foundational to American legal doctrine, judicial interpretation, and civil liberties jurisprudence. New Jersey's rapid ratification also signaled the willingness of smaller states to embrace a constitutional framework that better balanced federal power with individual protections.The ratification process itself reflected the structural legal mechanism required to alter the Constitution—Article V mandates both congressional proposal and state approval. This episode demonstrates how early American legal institutions navigated public pressure and political compromise to create durable legal norms. The Bill of Rights remains central to constitutional interpretation today, frequently invoked in court cases involving speech, privacy, and due process.A group of senior judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has recently influenced several rulings on politically sensitive cases, softening the conservative tone of one of the nation's most right-leaning appellate courts. These judges, many appointed decades ago by presidents like Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, were part of three-judge panels that struck down or allowed challenges to laws involving religion in schools, drag shows on campus, and firearm signage. However, these decisions are now set for reconsideration by the court's full active bench in January, as part of a growing trend of en banc rehearings.The Fifth Circuit includes 17 active judges and seven senior judges. While senior judges can still hear cases and author opinions, their influence is ultimately limited because active judges control en banc reviews, which can overturn panel rulings. Most of these upcoming en banc cases saw dissents from Trump-appointed judges at the panel level. Some senior judges, like Edith Brown Clement, are conservative and remain highly active, while others like James Dennis and Patrick Higginbotham are known for their moderate or liberal views and are key voices in current and upcoming decisions.Legal experts say senior judges' experience and moderation often make them more willing to adhere to precedent rather than pursue ideological shifts. Their dissents and opinions can also help signal to the U.S. Supreme Court that a case warrants review. With an increase in ideologically charged cases on topics like immigration and free speech, the Fifth Circuit's internal dynamics reflect a broader national tension between judicial restraint and a more activist, conservative legal agenda.Full Fifth Circuit Overrides Moderate Senior Judges' RulingsThe Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has asked a federal court to enforce a subpoena against the University of Pennsylvania as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged antisemitic harassment. The EEOC's request was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and stems from a charge initiated in December 2023 by Republican-appointed Chair Andrea Lucas. The agency is seeking documents and information identifying victims and witnesses to reported religious-based harassment affecting faculty and staff.The investigation centers on claims that the university failed to adequately respond to internal complaints of antisemitism. The EEOC under Lucas—particularly during and after the first Trump administration—has prioritized enforcement actions related to religious discrimination, with higher education institutions facing increased scrutiny. Penn has not yet issued a public response regarding the subpoena or the broader investigation.EEOC Seeks UPenn Information Disclosure in Antisemitism ProbeCryptocurrency exchange Kraken announced that it has confidentially filed for an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States.

The project, now called the Crane Clean Energy Center, involves reviving an 835-megawatt reactor that was shut down in 2019. Constellation entered a partnership with Microsoft in 2024 to help offset the tech company's energy use, especially for power-intensive data centers. The reactor's restart reflects rising energy demand tied to emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.The Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office (LPO) issued the loan to help lower financing costs and encourage private investment. Officials emphasized that nuclear energy offers stable, carbon-free baseload power critical for both grid reliability and climate goals. While Constellation is financially strong enough to obtain private funding, the administration said public support signals a national commitment to clean and dependable energy infrastructure.The plant still needs regulatory approvals, including from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Constellation has already begun hiring workers, inspecting systems, and ordering essential equipment. The company now expects the reactor to come online by 2027, a year ahead of the original timeline due to an accelerated grid connection review.US loans Constellation $1 billion for Three Mile Island reactor reboot | Reuters This is a public episode.

On November 8, 2019, 24-year-old Morgan Patten traveled 13 hours to Jacksonville, North Carolina, to visit her fiancé. She made it to Jacksonville, but never made it to see her fiancé. Instead, she ended up in a truck with two Marines she didn't know…and within hours, she was dead on a dark and desolate road.  Officials called it a drunk-driving accident. Morgan's parents say the evidence tells a different story. In this episode, Margot pieces together Morgan's final hours. We explore security footage, bar receipts, and text messages exchanged between the two Marines, Hunter Wells and Charles Cornwall. We explore disturbing inconsistencies in the investigation, forensic red flags, unexplained DNA, and the question at the heart of this case: How did Morgan end up in that truck? For six years, Morgan's parents have carried the burden of uncovering the truth. They have funded their own investigators, hired forensic experts, and fought to have evidence released for independent testing. Their search has uncovered shocking details that have never before been publicly unpacked in this way. If you know something about that night… it's time to come forward.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan explains the sharp drop in U.S. markets, the internal divide inside the Federal Reserve, Trump's push to revive the housing market, and new White House actions on immigration, energy, and manufacturing. He also brings global updates from Iran, Syria, Germany, and Ukraine. Markets Slide After Record High: The Dow fell sharply after reaching a new peak earlier in the week. Bryan notes that overvalued stocks, high levels of margin debt, and concerns about an AI bubble are creating real fear on Wall Street. He warns that the pullback signals deeper economic stress that has been building for months. Federal Reserve Split on Rate Cuts: Fed leaders cannot agree on whether to lower interest rates again. Some point to weakening jobs data, falling retail spending, and rising household debt. Others claim the economy is stable. Bryan counters that missed car payments, climbing credit card balances, and new foreclosures show that ordinary Americans are under serious strain. White House Floats Portable Mortgages: The administration is considering a plan that would let homeowners transfer their low mortgage rates to a new house. Bryan explains that the idea could unlock the frozen housing market. He also highlights JD Vance's argument that deportation of millions of illegal immigrants could free up homes, which mirrors Canada's recent experience. Immigration Crackdown Widens: Trump revived the public charge rule and added new medical screenings to keep out foreigners who are likely to require long-term care. The State Department says the change protects taxpayers and ensures economically stable immigration. Democrats call the policy discriminatory. Trump says it is simply common sense. Energy and Manufacturing Developments: New York approved a natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania after pressure from Washington. Supporters say it will lower electricity costs. Environmental activists are furious. Meanwhile, Toyota announced a fourteen billion dollar hybrid battery plant in North Carolina. Bryan calls it proof that the administration's trade strategy is reshaping global manufacturing. Iran's Water Crisis: Iran's leaders warned the capital city of Tehran could run out of water within weeks. Officials asked citizens to ration water and pray. Bryan argues the crisis reflects decades of corruption and mismanagement inside the regime. Trump Meets Syria's New President: Syria's leader asked the United States for help rebuilding his military. The meeting became awkward when Trump jokingly sprayed him with Trump for Men cologne. Video of JD Vance trying not to laugh has already gone viral. Europe Confronts Migration Fallout: Germany confirmed a polio case traced to an Afghan migrant. The city of Magdeburg canceled its Christmas market because of terror concerns. Bryan says Europe's leaders are refusing to face reality about the risks created by uncontrolled migration. Ukraine Corruption Scandal: Ukrainian officials close to President Zelensky were arrested for stealing one hundred million dollars from the defense ministry. Bryan warns that American and European patience with Kyiv is rapidly fading. Good News for the Weekend: A British study found that walking only fifteen minutes a day can reduce the risk of early death by more than eighty percent. Bryan encourages listeners to get outside, breathe deeply, and enjoy the gift of movement.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Dow market drop, Federal Reserve rate debate, portable mortgages housing policy, Trump immigration public charge, New York natural gas pipeline, Toyota hybrid battery plant, Iran water shortage Tehran, Trump Syria meeting cologne, Germany polio migrant case, Ukraine corruption arrests, fifteen minute walking study
