It could be that the US-Israel war with Iran ends soon. That was the message from Donald Trump this week. But it may not. The longer the war continues the more collateral damage to the world economy. Mostly because of the impact of energy prices. But why are we all so vulnerable still to events in one small part of the world and one tiny channel, the infamous Strait of Hormuz? David Aaronovitch asks what it tells us about the problems of global energy and oil dependency and what could be done to alleviate them.Guests: Ben Chu, Policy and Analysis Correspondent, BBC Verify Duncan Weldon, Economist and author Bill Farren-Price, Senior Research Fellow and Head of Gas Research at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies Rosemary Kelanic, Director of the Middle East Program at Defense PrioritiesPresenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Nathan Gower and Kirsteen Knight Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound engineer: Neil Churchill Editor: Richard Vadon

Nesta live especial da gas week, um time de especialistas de peso se reúne para discutir as consequências e os impactos da escalada do conflito no Oriente Médio sobre o mercado global e brasileiro de gás natural. Com os ataques envolvendo Estados Unidos, Israel e Irã, o consequente bloqueio do Estreito de Hormuz e a interrupção das exportações do Catar, cerca de 20% de todo o comércio global de Gás Natural Liquefeito (GNL) foi diretamente afetado. Em poucos dias, o mercado sentiu o golpe: os preços de referência subiram 50% na Europa (TTF) e 40% na Ásia (JKM). Quais as consequências reais para o suprimento e os preços globais? O Brasil está protegido ou nossa matriz termelétrica sofrerá com o mercado spot? E como as incertezas afetam o Leilão de Reserva de Capacidade (LRCAP)? Assista para entender o cenário completo.

It occurs to us here at Air Quotes Media, that when the Prime Minister goes to China ... makes an historic trade deal ... and then invokes the term “New World Order” in his statement to the press – Carney said it slowly, dramatically, deliberately – you gather the most expert people you can think of and record a podcast about it, immediately.David Mulroney and Jennifer Welsh are with me today.David was Canada's ambassador to the People's Republic of China from 2009 to 2012. Prior to that he headed Canada's office in Taiwan and served as our Senior Official for Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation. His 2016 book about our relationship with China, Middle Power, Middle Kingdom, was awarded with J.W, Dafoe Prize.Jennifer is the Canada 150 Research Chair in Global Governance and Security at McGill University and the Director of the Max Bell School of Public Policy. She's a Rhodes Scholar, earning a Master and Doctorate in International Relations at Oxford, and co-founded the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict.So today, I want to talk about what Trump, and the U.S. is saying, and doing, and the shifting world order. What might it look like? What are the implications for Canada? Can we influence it in any meaningful way? And the actions Prime Minister Carney has taken to date, the deal with China, and also his work in Europe and the Mid-East.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

In the wake of Trump's invasion of Venezuela, how will China respond to the ongoing protests in Iran? In this episode of China Decode, Alice Han and James Kynge take on the geopolitical firestorm brewing in Beijing, as it finds its energy imports, financial partnerships, and global influence all imperiled. Alice and James are joined by Michal Meidan, head of China Energy Research at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, to assess how big an impact these events will have on China's future.  Plus — with adult obesity on the rise in China, so-called “fat prisons” are springing up to help people (and pets) lose weight. That's in addition to GLP-1 drugs, which are getting cheaper and more available as Chinese manufacturers begin to produce them themselves. Learn more about your ad choices.

Is demographic change a bigger global challenge than climate change? And is population ageing, in fact, one of humanity's greatest successes? In this episode, listen back to the launch of the EBRD's Transition Report 2025-26: Brave Old World. Moderated by Richard Porter, EBRD Managing Director of Communications, the discussion brings together a distinguished panel: Professor Sarah Harper CBE – Clore Professor of Gerontology, University of Oxford; Director, Oxford Institute of Population Ageing Eghosa Omoigui – Founder and Managing General Partner, EchoVC Partners Dr Nicholas Eberstadt – Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy, American Enterprise Institute Beata Javorcik – EBRD Chief Economist Brave Old World explores how demographic shifts are reshaping economies—from rapidly ageing societies to countries with youthful, fast-growing populations. The report examines declining fertility rates, the economic consequences of ageing, and the policy tools that can help countries adapt. These include extending productive working lives, accelerating automation, and enabling labour mobility. The discussion also delves into how artificial intelligence, migration policy, and evolving societal values interact with demographic change across the EBRD regions and beyond.
