Naslouchejme dětem a naslouchejme si navzájem – heslo, které razí první dětský ombudsman Martin Beneš. Původně soudce Okresního soudu v Mostě se funkce ujal v dubnu. A sešly se mu už stovky podnětů, z toho zhruba 15 procent přímo od dětí. Zároveň zasedá v nové Komisi pro nepřirozená úmrtí dětí, ve které řeší otřesný případ zavražděné Viktorky vlastním otcem z letošního března. Velkým tématem je pro něj ale i duševní zdraví dětí.

A full-card Royal Ascot 2026 recap. Michael Adolphson joins In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale to go race by race through the meeting — the winners, the tough beats, and the cross-form clues that point all the way to the 2026 Breeders' Cup at Keeneland. From Ten Bob Tony's 50/1 shock in the Queen Anne to Mission Central's King Charles III Stakes win, Bow Echo's gutsy St James's Palace, Ombudsman's monster Prince of Wales's Stakes repeat, Scandinavia's stretch duel in the Gold Cup, Venetian Sun in the Commonwealth Cup, Precise in the Coronation, Almeraq's 25/1 Jubilee, and the American story of the week — Bacio and Wesley Ward in the Palace of Holyroodhouse — plus the Norfolk and the next generation of juvenile sprinters. Michael breaks down where each of these horses might land on the road to Keeneland, which trips suit, and the Win-and-You're-In picture across the meeting. Essential viewing for handicappers, bettors, and anyone following European Breeders' Cup form lines through the summer.
Royal Ascot 2026, reviewed through advanced sectional data. Total Performance Data analyst Adam Mills joins In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale to break down the meeting's biggest performances — finishing speeds, top speed, stride length and stride frequency — and what the numbers reveal about the road to the 2026 Breeders' Cup at Keeneland. We dig into the puzzling Queen Anne Stakes and Ten Bob Tony's 50/1 shock, explain exactly what "finishing speed" measures and why US dirt and European turf races run so differently, then turn to the Win-and-You're-In angles: Mission Central in the King Charles III Stakes, Ombudsman's monster Prince of Wales's Stakes repeat, and the gamble of the week — Bacio and Wesley Ward's electric sprint in the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Throughout, the conversation is about cross-form clues: which Ascot winners actually project to Keeneland, and which might get found out around a bend. A must-listen for handicappers, data-driven bettors, and anyone tracking the 2026 Breeders' Cup form lines.

In this replay of a 2023 interview, Severin de Wit speaks with Tom Tyler, professor of law and psychology at Yale and founding director of the Justice Collaboratory. A psychologist teaching in a law school — a rare combination — Tyler argues that legal systems are built on assumptions about human nature that are seldom tested against what psychologists actually know. His research points to something striking: people comply with the law more because they trust it than because they fear it. And what builds that trust is not whether you win or lose your case, but how you were treated along the way — whether you were heard, treated with respect, and felt the process was fair. This is the idea of procedural justice, and it has both a decision-making side (voice, neutrality, consistency) and a relational side (dignity, sincerity, genuine attention to people's concerns). The conversation ranges across criminal justice, civil and administrative law, prisons, and policing, including how police officers who feel fairly treated by their own superiors go on to treat the public more fairly. Tyler explains why a system built on fear requires policing forever, while one built on trust makes communities stronger: people cooperate, testify, engage with their neighbours, and invest in where they live. He also has warm words for the Netherlands, citing the Ombudsman's adoption of procedural justice principles and the influence of empirical research on Dutch policy — and a challenge for the legal world everywhere: take empiricism seriously as a tool for improvement. A thoughtful, evidence-based case for why trust isn't just a different model of legal authority, but a superior one. [ Due to the holiday season, we are publishing this interview again. It was first published on September 6, 2023, as episode 76]

„Strašenie islamom slúži politikom na zakrytie problémov“, tvrdí arabista Attila Kováč. Politici podľa neho zneužívajú predsudky a stereotypy voči moslimskej komunite, hoci ide o jednu z najmenších menšín v krajine. Zdôrazňuje, že nenávisť voči neznámemu pramení z nedostatku osobnej skúsenosti a slúži ako populistický nástroj na odpútanie pozornosti od reálnych spoločenských problémov.Z témy prísnej registrácie cirkví sa na Slovensku opäť stal strašiak mešitami. Rezonuje tu téma islamu, hoci moslimská komunita u nás patrí medzi najmenšie v Európe.Ombudsman napadol na Ústavnom súde podmienku 50-tisíc veriacich potrebných na registráciu novej cirkvi a časť politikov okamžite začala hovoriť o hrozbe islamizácie či výstavby mešít.Naviac, samotný ombudsman sa stal terčom nevyberaných útokov, pre ktoré požiadal o policajnú ochranu a aj svoj úrad musel zatvoriť pred verejnosťou.Sú obavy z islamizácie Slovenska založené na realite, alebo skôr na predstavách a stereotypoch? Prečo sa práve islam stal v slovenskej politike takým silným symbolom, hoci väčšina Slovákov osobne žiadneho moslima nepozná?O islame, moslimoch, strachu z neznámeho aj o tom, čo táto debata vypovedá o nás samých, sa budeme rozprávať s arabistom Attilom Kovácsom.Podcast Jaroslav Barborák.

Damo starts with smoke for Tyra, Aaron, and Damon (kind of). The guys talk about the realities of podcasting, not making any money from it, and why there's still no donation button. Iceman season is officially here, so the crew takes time to review the album while revisiting old debates about Kobe Bryant and whether Drake belongs in the top five music artists conversation. The conversation moves into the Kevin Hart roast, whether comedy should still be considered a sacred space, and what happens when culture changes faster than the jokes. The guys also finally catch up on life outside the podcast. Damo talks about heading back to California with the family, Damon gets flowers for his squadron's recent accomplishments, and the crew shouts out Charles Johnson for taking another major step with the launch of the Bump Serum. Other conversations include: - jewelry in uniform - SCPO/MCPO results - the viral barracks fight video - cars stopping for colors - the abrupt exit of John Phelan from the SECNAV office - Ombudsman of the Year recipients - Project Compass - changes to CPO initiation - SAFETALK and ASIST requirements - executive orders regarding psychedelics - President Trump's trip to China - Damon's random leadership questions - Damo introducing a new game The episode also features a deeper leadership discussion after a retired Master Chief asks how senior leaders are expected to promote policies they may not personally agree with. Later, the guys respond directly to a listener frustrated with the podcast's coverage of toxic Chiefs and leadership accountability. Highlighting Our Heroes returns with recognition of J. Paul Reason, while the crew also discusses the legacy of Medgar Evers during Picks of the Week. Aaron brings back his “Quote of the Week,” has a #DoBetter for Damo, and much more is discussed throughout Episode 189.
Drug arrest in Little Cayman; an abandoned boat is found in East End; the Ombudsman releases a report about the Detention Centre; and drivers can now use the connector road at the CUC roundabout.

Poplatky v našom zdravotníctve sú takmer zakázané. Napriek tomu pacienti zaplatia na poplatkoch ročne stámilióny eur. Štát tu dlhé roky zlyháva a pre neriadené a vysoké poplatky ľudia radšej ani nejdú k lekárovi. Ombudsman vyzýva vládu a parlament aby situáciu parlament vyzýva aby situáciu v ambulanciách riešil.Aké podnety dostáva od občanov verejný ochranca práv? Čo zistil jeho prieskum? Je skutočne možné že ľudia nejdú k lekárovi na preventívnu prehliadku, pretože si to nemôžu finančne dovoliť? Aké je to možné a čo vláde a poslancom odporúča ombudsman?A prečo podáva podnety na Ústavný súd pre porušenie rovnosti volebného práva vo volebných obvodoch v Bratislave a Košiciach? Čo hovorí na rušenie voľby poštou? A ako vníma verejný ochranca práv útoky vlády na nezávislé inštitúcie? Braňo Závodský sa rozprával verejným ochrannom práv Robertom Dobrovodským.
AI Kills 10% of Jobs at META. Pentagon Fires Stars and Stripes' Ombudsman. GTFO ICE. Prince Harry Goes to Ukraine—Trump Craps on Him. Friday Football: Draft Weekend. Corruption is the top topic, and it's bleeding into the ranks. A Fort Bragg special forces sergeant just got indicted for using classified intel to bet $400,000 on Polymarket about the Maduro operation. The acting secretary of culture war, Pete Hegseth, is leaking on Signal, firing 21 generals, and floating "no quarter" from the Pentagon podium. Three carrier strike groups are now stacked in the Middle East. NATO allies are being threatened with suspension. And Trump is openly contemplating federal troops in Chicago, New York, and beyond. This is what a sucking chest wound looks like — and the bleeding isn't stopping. Paul sits down with author, filmmaker, and combat journalist Sebastian Junger for a no-BS conversation about the question every American needs to be asking: will the military follow illegal orders? They walk through the murky chain — from a tactical nuke on Tehran to American troops on the streets of Cincinnati — and land on the real circuit breakers that remain: Chairman Dan Cain, the 21 fired generals, and an Angry Middle that still trusts the 82nd Airborne more than it trusts ICE. Plus the GTFO ICE campaign, the firing of the Stars and Stripes ombudsman, the 20,000 abducted Ukrainian children, and why removing Hegseth is the winnable fight right now. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Ditch your expensive carrier and support Independent Americans!
