„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.

This episode of Permission to Speak Freely Podcast is dedicated to retired Command Master Chief Shay Robbie Farnsworth. Her influence helped shape careers, strengthen Sailors, and remind people what real leadership looks like. She poured into others, stayed connected long after transferring, and remained someone whose guidance and support never stopped mattering. We honor her life, legacy, service, and the countless people she impacted throughout her career and beyond. Fair winds and following seas, Command Master Chief Farnsworth. No guest pod. Let's go. 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.

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.
Verejný ochranca práv Róbert Dobrovodský predložil do parlamentu mimoriadnu správu zaoberajúcu sa poplatkami u lekára. V rozhovore s Veronikou Folentovou hovorí, že aktuálny stav spôsobuje porušovanie práv pacientov. Rozpráva aj o tom, ako vníma, že minister doteraz nepriniesol riešenie poplatkov, v ktorých regiónoch je najväčší problém s poplatkami, ale aj to, ako by zmenil pravidlá, aby pacienta chránili.
„Raz sa jedno zariadenie odo mňa pokúšalo vybrať poplatok a v tom momente som sa otočil na päte,“ hovorí v Postoj TV verejný ochranca práv Róbert Dobrovodský.
Coming up in the news: A packed agenda in Parliament tomorrow —major housing policy, Ombudsman reports and six amendment bills. Millions recovered, hundreds of cases investigated—RCIPS reveals the scale of financial and cybercrime in 2025. And, Cayman launches its first‑ever Heritage Month—concerts, cultural events and national pride on full display. That and more your evening news update.
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!

Na co se chce zaměřit nový dětský ombudsman? V čem a jak dokáže dětem pomoci? Jak bude fungovat jeho dětský poradní sbor? „Chtěli bychom, aby byl rozmanitý, aby v něm nebyly jenom děti, které jsou aktivní, které se už dnes aktivně zapojují a vyslovují k různým otázkám.

In this week's episode of Elevate Eldercare, AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan sits down with Beverly Gianna, who recently became a long-term care ombudsman after a three-decade career with the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau, now known as New Orleans & Company. Having earned at least three master's degrees—one from the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology— Beverly has become a passionate advocate for nursing home residents. Her fascinating story takes listeners through personal caregiving experiences and a deepening interest in aging, ultimately leading her to ombudsman work. In today's episode, she champions the rights, dignity, and voices of residents—ensuring they are heard, respected, and empowered. Among the many valuable lessons Beverly has learned along her journey: listening is one of the most powerful tools in advocacy. As she notes, advocacy starts with listening—helping residents articulate their needs, preferences, and goals.

The panel ask what to make of his disappointing performance — and what it means for the Classic market.The panel also discuss Calandagan extending his world-champion sequence and Ombudsman's smooth victory at the Dubai World Cup meeting, all staged against the backdrop of regional conflict.Constitution Hill made it two from two on the Flat at Kempton. The panel consider how far he can realistically go — and whether the sport is making the most of its best story.Plus, the government has rejected levy reform after three years of review, leaving the BHA calling for affordability checks to be scrapped as a quid pro quo. Is there any hope of that happening, and what does it mean for racing?

The state is failing some of its most vulnerable children, that's the stark warning from the children's ombudsman in a major new report out this week. The report describes a system under severe strain, with falling foster care numbers, growing reliance on private residential providers, and serious gaps in support for carers. So, what's going wrong inside Ireland's care system? Joining Pat to discuss is the Children's Ombudsman, Dr Niall Muldoon.

Nohu do dverí vládnej moci dal svojim podnetom na Ústavný sud ombudsman. Ako sa mu podarilo presvedčiť premiéra? A máme dnes na Slovensku dve zdravotníctva - jedno pre tých, čo si môžu zdravie finančne dovoliť a to druhé, pre nás ostatných? Sú ľudské práva v tomto štáte závislé na majetku a sociálnom statuse?

Česko má od minulého týdne svého potravinového ombudsmana. Zřízení funkce má být jedním z prvních kroků k vládou slibovanému cíli - zlevnění potravin. Co pro to může nový ombudsman reálně udělat? Hostem Ptám se já je nový potravinový ombudsman a dosavadní vrchní ředitel sekce potravinářství Ministerstva zemědělství Jindřich Fialka. Vláda ANO, SPD a Motoristů zatím konkrétní plány ke zlevnění potravin nepředstavila. V programovém prohlášení se ale zavázala také například k omezení marží řetězců i jejich přehlednému zveřejňování.Podle ministra Martina Šebestyána (za SPD) hraje důležitou roli v chystaném plánu na dostupnější potraviny právě zřízení nové pozice ombudsmana, který se má starat o transparentnost celého potravinového řetězce. Dalším krokem pak je zajištění férových podmínek mezi dodavateli a odběrateli a zejména zvýšení konkurenceschopnosti českých zemědělců a potravinářů. „Chceme podpořit různou formou opatření větší míru zpracování v České republice. A ta opatření mohou skutečně vést k tomu, že se nám projeví snížení cen u vybraných potravin. Neříkám, od kdy nebo u čeho konkrétně,“ prohlásil v Ptám se já potravinový ombudsman Fialka s tím, že by se to mohlo týkat například sezónního ovoce a zeleniny.Co přesně bude potravinový ombudsman dělat? Proč chce monitorovat marže obchodníků? A má nějaké nástroje, kterými by dosáhl zlevnění potravin?--Podcast Ptám se já.

Ministerstvo zemědělství zavádí potravinového ombudsmana, který má zveřejňovat data o cenách a maržích v dodavatelském řetězci a dohlížet na férové vztahy. „Bude poškozovat část českých spotřebitelů. Bude si muset vybrat, pro koho v reálu pracuje,“ míní v pořadu Pro a proti prezident Svazu obchodu a cestovního ruchu Tomáš Prouza. „V první řadě bude hájit zájmy spotřebitele,“ oponuje viceprezident Agrární komory a předseda Ovocnářské unie Martin Ludvík.
The Government's considering raising phone call entitlements for prisoners, amid a push from a petition and the Ombudsman. The law says prisoners are entitled to just five minutes on the phone each week. Former head of the Wellington Howard League for Penal Reform, Christine McCarthy, petitioned Parliament to change the rules - saying current technology would make restrictions easy to enforce. "We have increasingly wonderful technology - so you have to remember the context that prisoners have to apply every telephone number that they're going to ring, that has to be approved. And when you have electronic systems, you can know...the way you can monitor stuff, the way you can access and record things is just way ahead."

Ripoti muhimu imefichua kuwa Service Australia ilikwepa kwa makusudi sheria za malezi ya watoto kwa muda wa miaka sita, ikiwa imezuia ndani kwa ndani malipo kwa zaidi ya wazazi 16,000 ambao walitoa chini ya asilimia 35 ya huduma kwa watoto wao. Wakati shirika hilo lilipinga kuwa sheria ilileta "matokeo yasiyotarajiwa" kwa kuulazimisha walezi wakuu kulipa wale wenye majukumu kidogo ya huduma, Ombudsman aliamua kwamba kupuuza sheria si chaguo kwa watumishi wa umma.
A landmark report has revealed Services Australia knowingly bypassed child support laws for six years, internally blocking payments to over 16,000 parents who provided less than 35 per cent of their children's care. While the agency argued the law created "unintended consequences" by requiring primary carers to pay those with minimal care responsibilities, the Ombudsman ruled that ignoring legislation is not an option for public servants.
