Journalist and author Barbara Demick discusses her new, powerful, and must-read book "Daughters of the Bamboo Grove: From China to America, a True Story of Abduction, Adoption, and Separated Twins". With a deep boots-on-the-ground experience, she details the brutality of China's one-child policy and the profound lasting effects it continues to have. She describes the scandalous adoption frenzy that took place, where officials illegally kidnapped Chinese children from their families and disappeared them. Demick found a needle in a haystack and managed to reunite one set of twins who were strewn across the planet, from America to China.

This conversation features an interview with Hilke Schellman, author of "The Algorithm: How AI Decides Who Gets Hired, Monitored, Promoted, Fired, and Why We Need to Fight Back Now." The host, Nola Simon, shares her personal experiences and concerns about AI in hiring processes, which led her to Schellmann's work. Key points discussed include: The increasing use of AI in hiring processes, especially for high-turnover positions. Potential biases and inaccuracies in AI hiring tools, such as: Favoring certain names or keywords unrelated to job performance Misinterpreting data and making incorrect inferences Potentially replicating existing workforce inequities Lack of transparency and oversight in AI hiring systems, with many companies unaware of how their tools actually make decisions. The need for thorough testing and scrutiny of AI hiring tools to ensure fairness and effectiveness. Concerns about how AI might disadvantage certain groups, including immigrants, non-native English speakers, and those with speech differences. The tension between efficiency in hiring processes and finding the most qualified candidates. The importance of accountability and responsible use of AI in hiring practices. Key Questions Raised: - How accurate and fair are AI hiring tools really? - What data are these systems using to make decisions? - How can job seekers know if AI is being used to evaluate them? - Are companies doing enough due diligence on the AI tools they use? - How can we ensure AI doesn't perpetuate existing biases in hiring? Action Steps for Employers: 1. Thoroughly test any AI hiring tools before implementation 2. Regularly audit AI systems for biases and inaccuracies   3. Maintain human oversight and don't rely solely on AI rankings 4. Prioritize finding qualified candidates over speed of hiring 5. Be transparent with candidates about use of AI in hiring process Action Steps for Job Seekers: 1. Be aware that AI may be used to evaluate your application 2. Focus on clearly communicating relevant skills and experience 3. Consider how AI might interpret information on your resume 4. Prepare for potential AI-powered video interviews 5. Advocate for transparency in hiring processes Key Takeaways: - AI hiring tools often have hidden biases and flaws - More scrutiny and testing of these systems is urgently needed - Job seekers have little visibility into how they're being evaluated - Companies need to balance efficiency with fairness and accuracy - Human oversight remains crucial in hiring processes Hilke Schellmann, is an Emmy award winning investigative reporter and assistant professor of journalism at New York University. As a contributor to The Wall Street Journal and The Guardian, Schellmann writes about holding artificial intelligence (AI) accountable. In her book, The Algorithm: How AI Decides Who Gets Hired, Monitored, Promoted, and Fired, And Why We Need To Fight Back (Hachette), she investigates the rise of AI in the world of work. Drawing on exclusive information from whistleblowers, internal documents and real‑world tests, Schellmann discovers that many of the algorithms making high‑stakes decisions are biased, racist, and do more harm than good.  Her four part investigative podcast and print series on AI and hiring for MIT Technology Review was a finalist for a Webby Award. Her documentary Outlawed in Pakistan, which played at Sundance and aired on PBS FRONTLINE, was recognized with an Emmy, an Overseas Press Club, and a Cinema for Peace Award amongst others. In her investigation into student loans for VICE on HBO, she uncovered how a spigot of easy money from the federal government is driving up the cost of higher education in the U.S. and is even threatening the country's

Moises Saman is widely considered to be one of the leading documentary and conflict photographers of his generation and has been a full member of Magnum Photos since 2014. His work has largely focused on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Arab Spring and its aftermath.Moises was born in Lima, Peru, from a mixed Spanish and Peruvian family and grew up in Barcelona, Spain. He studied Communications and Sociology in the United States at California State University, graduating in 1998. It was during his last year in university that Moises first became interested in becoming a photographer, influenced by the work of a number of photojournalists that had been covering the wars in the Balkans.After graduating, Moises moved to New York City to complete a summer internship at New York Newsday and joined as a Staff Photographer, a position he held until 2007. During his 7 years at Newsday Moises' work focused on covering the fallout of the 9/11 attacks, spending most of his time traveling between Afghanistan, Iraq, and other Middle Eastern countries. In the Autumn of 2007 Moises left Newsday to become a freelance photographer represented by Panos Pictures. During that time he become a regular contributor for The New York Times, Human Rights Watch, Newsweek, and TIME Magazine, among other international publications.Over the years Moises' work has received awards from the World Press Photo, Pictures of the Year and the Overseas Press Club and his photographs have been shown in a several exhibitions worldwide. In 2015 Moises received a Guggenheim Fellowship to continue his work.In 2011, Moises relocated to Cairo, Egypt, where he was based for three years while covering the Arab Spring for The New York Times and other publications, mainly The New Yorker. His first book, Discordia, on which he colloaborated with artist Daria Birang, documents the tumultuous transitions that have taken place in the region. The work featured in Discordia has received numerous awards, including the Eugene Smith Memorial Fund.Moises's latest book, Glad Tidings of Benevolence, was published earlier this year by GOST books to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq. It brings together Moises's photographs taken in Iraq during this period and the following years, with documents and texts relating to the war. Exploring the construction—through image and language—of competing narratives of the war, the book represents the culmination of Moises's twenty years of work across Iraq.Moises currently lives in Amman, Jordan with his wife and their young daughter. In episode 210, Moises discusses, among other things:The catalyst that was 9/11NewsdayHis introduction to photography via his studie in sociologyThe Balkans conflictLearning the ropes in AfghanistanHow his attitude towards photojournalism evolved over timeThe impact of spending eight days in Abu Ghraib prisonSurviving a helicopter crashThe myth of objectivityTrying to show a more nuanced pictureEvery day life continuing amidst war“The framing of the frame”Covering The Arab SpringCollaborating with artist Daria Birang on DiscordiaFacts, truth and questioningVictim vs. perpetratorHis current project in Amman Referenced:Judith ButlerStuart SmithDaria Birang “One thing I've realised is, at least for me, that perhaps this other approach to the work, the one that's a little bit quieter and more nuanced, more human really, where you're also celebrating humanity rather than the lack thereof in this very difficult context, that perhaps is a little more effective. I like to think that.

“A toxic flood of dark money has given billionaires and special interests a powerful way to rig the system secretly in their favour…” These are the words of Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, ahead of a debate in the US Congress around the Spending in Elections (DISCLOSE) Act. But this phrase could equally be applied to the UK, where Russian Oligarchs and dark money interests have been able to cleanse their ill-gotten gains for decades through the London financial laundromat. Londongrad is the phrase coined to describe the high presence of Russians in the United Kingdom, especially in reference to Russian money in London, permeating its service sector and securing political influence. ---------- SPEAKER: Oliver Bullough is a Journalist at the Guardian, GQ, BBC, etc. He writes about financial crime, kleptocracy, and offshore shenanigans (as he calls them). He is best known for his books Let Our Fame Be Great, which was nominated for the Orwell Prize, (and is set in the Caucasus mountains) and The Last Man in Russia, nominated for the Dolman Prize and which won the Overseas Press Club's Cornelius Ryan Award. In later books Oliver has focused on financial crime, Moneyland: Why Thieves and Crooks Now Rule the World and How to Take It Back, Butler to the World: How Britain Helps the World's Worst People Launder Money, Commit Crimes, and Get Away with Anything. Today we'll combine his twin passions by looking at how Londongrad became the world's laundromat for corrupt oligarchs to cleanse their money, and attain respectability, influence, and privilege in the West.

Bloomberg BusinessWeek reporter and author Matt Campbell joins Tim to talk about the story behind his new book, “Dead in the Water,” and what that story tells us about some of the darker sides of the international shipping industry. Matt Campbell co-authored the book with Kit Chellel. It's a true story of hijacking, murder and a global maritime conspiracy. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Matt_Campbell_-_Dead_in_the_Water_auphonic.mp3 Over a three-year period, from 2008 to 2011, roughly 200 vessels were raided and taken by Somali Pirates. Most of this activity happened around the Gulf of Aden on the east coast of Africa, between Somalia, Yemen and Oman. So, in July of 2011, when news reports came out that another vessel was attacked by pirates in those waters, it wasn't a surprise. But as events would unfold, this case was different. On the evening of July 5th, the Brillante Virtuoso drifted about 10 mils off of Aden. It carried a cargo of fuel oil. Earlier that day, the ship was to call into part to embark a team of three unarmed security guards to join the vessel through the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. Just before midnight, a small boat approached the Brillante Virtuoso. It contained seven armed and masked men…not three unarmed men. They did not have a ladder. They did not have a grappling hook or any other way of getting on board the ship. When they approached, they told the crew of the ship they were “security.” The master mariner of the ship was not expecting security until the next morning. Still, he gave the order to let them onboard. No one checked their identification, and the master did not. Once the group boarded the ship, they took the crew captive, most with the exception of the master or the chief engineer. They told the crew to take the ship to Somalia. The master took the ship for an hour and a half in the wrong direction, and then the main engine stopped.  Reports are that it broke down and would not restart. That's when an improvised explosive incendiary device – or IEID – was detonated. The IEID exploded in the ship's purifier room, and this created an oil fire. The crew, all except for the chief engineer, abandoned ship. They were picked up by a U.S. warship that was nearby.  The seven armed men left in their small boat, but no one saw them go. On the morning of July 6th the oil fire had gone out in the purifier room, but later in the day, there was a major engine room oil fire. It subsided. So, that by the afternoon of July 7th, two days after the ordeal started, much of the ship's key facilities had been destroyed by fire. At that point, the vessel was towed and its cargo was offloaded. The ship was totaled. But this was just the beginning. Matt Campbell is a reporter with Bloomberg Businessweek magazine. He's covered major political and business stories across the Asia-Pacific region. He's reported from more than 20 countries on subjects that have ranged from crime and terrorism, to public health. Given that, I had to ask Matt, what made this story different?

He has exposed major corruption scandals, covered terrorist attacks, coups and forgotten conflicts, and traced dirty money from the Kremlin to Washington.  His first book, The Looting Machine, was published in 2015.

Marines know a handful of biographical points about MajGen Smedley Butler: he fought in America's "small wars," won two Medals of Honor, had the Eagle Globe and Anchor tattooed across his chest...and near the end of his life, became an antiwar activist and published a pamphlet called War is a Racket which captured his decidedly negative personal reflections on his military career. Between those biographical bookends lies an untold story of moral injury in the pursuit of American foreign policy that is not well known, but which is now told in Jonathan Katz's book Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America's Empire. We'll be joined by the author in this #BruteCast to dig more deeply into his book and its unflinching look at a part of Marine Corps history. #TeamKrulak Non-Resident Fellow Maj Brian Kerg, USMC, recently reviewed the book in USNI's Proceedings. Jonathan Myerson Katz is the author of Gangsters of Capitalism. He received the James Foley/Medill Medal for Courage in Journalism for reporting from Haiti. His first book, The Big Truck That Went By, was shortlisted for the PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction and won the Overseas Press Club's Cornelius Ryan Award, the J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award, and the WOLA/Duke Book Award for Human Rights in Latin America. His work appears in the New York Times, Foreign Policy, and elsewhere. Katz was a New America national fellow in the Future of War program and received a fellowship from the Logan Nonfiction Program. He lives with his wife and daughter in Charlottesville, Virginia.

George Steinmetz is a documentary photographer based in New Jersey, who has shot more than 40 major photo essays for National Geographic. He has won three prizes from World Press Photo, the Environmental Vision award from Pictures of the Year, a citation from the Overseas Press Club, he was named National Geographic's Adventurer of the Year in 2008 and he has a 1 million strong following on Instagram. George is best know for his aerial photography, mainly using a motorised paraglider, which enables him to capture unique images of places inaccessible by traditional aircraft. His restless curiosity for the unknown drove him to hitchhike across Africa as a young man and has been the drive behind his epic body of work which covers remote landscapes, climate change and global food supply.  George's work has huge scope and scale and our conversation touches on a few of George's long-term projects, how and why he got into aerial photography and how he was almost shot with an arrow. It's a real privilege to have George on the show and I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Show Notes Thank you to our sponsor, MPB.

John interviews Jeffrey Stern. An award-winning journalist and the author of three books, Jeffrey originally started his career as a foreign correspondent in Afghanistan. In 2018, his book “The 15:17 to Paris” was adapted into a film by Clint Eastwood, and in 2019, he won the Overseas Press Club award for best human rights reporting in any medium and Amnesty International's USA Media Award in the international news category.John talks to Jeffrey about how he became a writer; his first book, “The Last Thousand,” which tells the story of a school in the slums of Kabul that has sent kids to Ivy League universities; and how he came to co-write “The 15:17 to Paris.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

My guest today is one of Australia's most-prominent photo/investigative journalists, Andrew Quilty. Andrew started his career in Sydney, then moved to New York City and eventually to Kabul, Afghanistan, after a two-week trip to photograph the Afghan cricket team turned into an odyssey now into its eighth year. He has worked in all but a handful of Afghanistan's 34 provinces, photographed for most of the world's premiere publications and won several accolades, including a World Press Photo Award, a Polk Award, several Picture of the Year International awards and the Gold Walkley, Australian journalism's highest honour.  More recently, Andrew has focussed on the written word. His 18-month investigation into a CIA-led Afghan militia, responsible for several massacres in 2019, for The Intercept, was recently the recipient of an Overseas Press Club of America Award. His most recent piece published in the April edition of The Monthly is titled, ‘The Worst form of Defence: New revelations of Australian war crimes in Afghanistan', which is an investigation into alleged war crimes by Australian special forces in Uruzgan. This, of course, is separate to the 'Afghanistan Enquiry' released in Nov last year. We covered many topics, including: Andrew's entry into photography The craft of photography The pull of Afghanistan  ‘Seeing' the people of Afghanistan Danger of oversimplified narratives of conflict Second-order effects of coalition operations Foreigner's (lack of) understanding of Afghanistan Background to his award-winning photo “The Man on the Operating Table” Andrew's shift to the written word The dangers of life as a war journalist Andrew's views on the future of Afghanistan You can see some of Andrew's photographs via his webpage here, read Andrew's article 'The CIA's Afghan Death Squads' here, and his article ‘The Worst form of Defence', here.  For recent updates on the situation in Afghanistan, you can follow Andrew on Twitter (@andrewquilty).

Juez determina “no causa” contra el excandidato independiente a la gobernación Eliezer Molina, en juicio político en el que el Departamento de Justicia llevó a 2 fiscales y 8 testigos para una Regla 6 Rompeolas valorado en $5 millones que se construye en Loíza ya empezó a colapsar. Hoy damos seguimiento al vídeo que presentamos ayer en YouTube. Ni un solo proyecto. FEMA no ha terminado proyectos después del huracán María. El Departamento de la Vivienda solo ha reconstruido o reparado 1,195 de las 21,000 casas destruidas. Eso representa el 6% de las casas, reconoció el secretario de la agencia, William Rodríguez, quien espera tener 3,000 casas reparadas al finalizar el año. Como Poncio Pilato: Pierluisi se lava las manos con las críticas por la falta de servicio eléctrico y defiende a LUMA, mientras, una avería en la unidad 5 de la Central San Juan deja a miles de clientes sin servicio eléctrico. Además, PREPARE SU BOLSILLO: las facturas llegan con un 30% más alto. Pierluisi también se lava las manos con los salarios de los delegados proestadidad y dice que eso lo determinará la Junta de Control Fiscal. Justicia recomienda un FEI para el exalcalde de Corozal Sergio Torres por grabar llamadas telefónicas ilegalmente para tomar acciones disciplinarias contra empleados.

Ya la República Dominicana tiene su marca-país: “Una República Llena de Talento” Y aquí en Puerto Rico, ¿cuál es nuestra marca? ¿El país de los políticos más corruptos y mentirosos? ¿O será, el de los que esperan incentivos federales? ¿O la isla donde llegan turistas indeseables? Mientras aquí están pendiente aganarse $200k como cabilderos, nuestros vecinos se enfocan para quedarse con el mercado turístico en el Caribe desde antes de que termine la pandemia. SEGUMIENTO: Acusan de corrupción al dueño de Autogermana, Donald Guerrero. El exministro de Hacienda en República Dominicana junto a otros dos exministros fueron acusados ayer mientras que aquí sigue pendiente la demanda de $38 millones por haberle robado a su socio el dealer de autos de lujo Se confirma lo que venimos denunciando aquí hace 3 años: Carlos Molina duplicó el déficit de Arecibo mientras fue alcalde. Esto se evidencia en una auditoría de la Oficina del Contralor. La disponibilidad de Ricardo Rosselló para ocupar cargo de cabildero deja al descubierto divisiones dentro del PNP. Rosselló Nevares no figura en la papeleta, pues su candidatura sería mediante el mecanismo de nominación directa o “write-in” Tras divulgarse los audios de Andrea Ruiz, el Overseas Press Club vuelve al Tribunal Supremo a pedir que revisen el caso. El gremio de prensa insiste con que se liberen las grabaciones para así sentar un precedente para el futuro. Activistas denuncian a la Procuradora de las Mujeres por presentar medidas legislativas sin el consenso de entidades. Aseguran que Lersy Boria “está trabajando por cuenta” en momentos que el Comité PARE evalúa alternativas para atender la violencia de género en la isla Hablamos de lo que pasa en Palestina, seguimiento a crisis en Colombia y en México, en donde empresarios corruptos se unen para financiar la una alianza entre 3 partidos políticos que buscan detener el avance del presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador, pero sólo porque él les detuvo sus planes RESUMEN SEMANAL Éstas y otras noticias, hoy En Blanco y Negro con Sandra. - - - Este programa se transmite por las siguientes emisoras, y por sus respectivas plataformas digitales, y aplicaciones para dispositivos Apple y Android: 1.

Who were your heroes during your formative years? As a child of the 1970s, many of mine were journalists, especially those reporting on war and revolution in Southeast Asia and Latin America. I wanted to be Mel Gibson in The Year of Living Dangerously, James Woods in Salvador, or even Nick Nolte in Under Fire. It was all so exciting and glamorous, but all of these role models were men. As a teenager I idealized that romantic image of the hard drinking, rugged, tough guy journalist. When I read When the War was Over for a college seminar on the politics of revolution, I added a real-life heroine to my pantheon: Elizabeth Becker. She covered the horrors of the American bombing of Cambodia, the barbaric civil war, and the unfathomable brutality of the Khmer Rouge. She was there, on the ground in Cambodia, when so much of the world turned away. Now she has written a book about her heroes, three female journalists who covered the American War in Vietnam, the Second Indochina War, and the way it spilled into Cambodia. You Don't Belong Here: How Three Women Rewrote the Story of War is a profile of these three journalists, but it also works as a narrative of the war in Vietnam and in Cambodia. Obviously, this book genders our understanding of the war and the reporters who told the world about this war. Like the three women she profiles in You Don't Belong Here: How Three Women Rewrote the Story of War (PublicAffairs, 2021), Elizabeth Becker began her career as a war correspondent in Southeast Asia. She arrived Cambodia in early 1973. Writing for the Washington Post, she covered the American bombing and the war between the Lon Nol government and the Khmer Rouge. She wrote a major exposé of the Khmer Rouge leadership. During the Khmer Rouge regime, she was one of a handful of Westerners allowed into the country and met Pol Pot. She was almost killed by assassins during that surreal trip. She has been the Senior Foreign Editor for National Public Radio and a New York Times correspondent covering national security, economics and foreign policy. She has won accolades from the Overseas Press Club and was part the Times team that won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for coverage of 9/11. She is the author of When the War was Over: Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge Revolution, which has been in print for 35 years and remains one of the best books on the Khmer Rouge. She has also written Bophana, America's Vietnam War: A Narrative History, and Overbooked: The Exploding Business of Travel and Tourism, an exposé of the travel industry. She also served as an expert witness in the Khmer Rouge genocide trials in Phnom Penh. Michael G. Vann is a professor of world history at California State University, Sacramento.
