durée : 00:04:38 - Avec sciences - par : Alexandra Delbot - Les particules atmosphériques sont classées par taille, car les plus fines pénètrent profondément dans les poumons. Grâce à l'analyse de 11 000 échantillons d'air, une grande étude européenne montre cependant que la toxicité varie aussi selon l'origine des particules. - invités : Gaëlle Uzu Directrice de recherche à l'IRD et chercheuse à l'Institut des Géosciences de l'Environnement à Grenoble

Threat to the Atacama Desert: Scientists are raising alarms over a massive renewable energy project near Chile's Atacama Desert, home to the Paranal Observatory. Concerns include potential light pollution, dust interference, and atmospheric heating that could compromise the region's exceptional astronomical conditions. The scientific community is advocating for solutions to minimize these impacts while balancing sustainable energy needs.Blue Origin's New Innovations: Blue Origin has unveiled exciting new hardware, including the Blue Moon Mark One robotic lander set to fly by 2026, a more powerful version of the New Glenn rocket, and Blue Ring, a space tug designed to support logistics in Earth orbit. These advancements highlight the company's commitment to building a sustainable space infrastructure.Starquakes and Cosmic Mysteries: NASA's TESS has detected unusual starquakes from a red giant orbiting the black hole Gaia BH2. The star's rapid spin and curious chemical composition suggest it may be the result of a merger between two stars, showcasing the power of astroseismology in uncovering cosmic histories.Time on Mars: A fascinating revelation indicates that time moves slightly faster on Mars compared to Earth due to its weaker gravity and slower orbit. This difference, while minuscule, poses significant implications for future Martian missions, necessitating a standardized time system for coordinated operations.Innovative Martian Construction: Researchers propose a groundbreaking method for building on Mars using local resources. By combining Martian soil with Earth bacteria, scientists aim to create bioconcrete for construction, while also producing oxygen, offering a dual solution for habitat creation and life support in the harsh Martian environment.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Step into the supermarket and there's plastic around just about everything, even mangoes — and not all that packaging will be properly disposed of.So with around 20 million tonnes of plastic polluting the environment each year, not to mention the potential health effects of microplastics, is there a better, more environmentally friendly alternative?You can binge more episodes of the Lab Notes podcast with science journalist and presenter Belinda Smith on the ABC Listen app (Australia).

A pool route looks peaceful from the curb, but the work sits where chemistry, electricity, plumbing, and customer trust collide. We brought on Sean Reardon, the insurance broker serving the United Pool Association, to unpack the real risks pool technicians face and why generic coverage so often misses the mark. From the UPA's origins as a mutual support network to the evolution of group policies built for technicians, we explore how smart coverage, good training, and honest reporting can turn worst-day scenarios into manageable claims.We walk through claim stories that stick. A heater installation near a shared wall led to alleged carbon monoxide poisoning when someone powered it up before venting was complete—an expensive reminder that pollution exclusions can swallow a “normal” pool tech job unless your policy is modified. A veteran pro mixed the wrong chemicals and triggered leaks across a skimmer line, proving that one rushed moment can mean weeks of remediation. A new hire “frisbeed” trichlor tabs into a dark-surfaced pool and branded it with round stains. And in a painful mix-up, chlorine meant for a dirty fountain ended up in a koi pond, wiping out prized fish within an hour.Sign up for UPA Insurance here:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfRQjHJGFLIOqZVzHm4_PNUz8Tokl_InR0wjyp5ahO93h3Z0Q/viewform?usp=send_form• UPA's origin as chapters covering routes and sick leave• Why group insurance tailored to pool techs saves money and risk• Pollution exclusions and how endorsements change outcomes• Carbon monoxide claim and the importance of duty to defend• Chemical handling errors and skimmer line damage• Training gaps leading to “hockey puck” stains• Koi pond chlorination loss and rapid response• Cameras, transparency, and reporting incidents early• Practical habits to avoid co-mingling and mislabeling• How to join UPA and find the sign-up formThe easiest way to find the sign-up form for UPA is to go to my website, swimmingpoollearning.com.

Le pétrole, le charbon et le gaz proviennent de la décomposition, sur des millions d'années, des forêts et des micro-organismes qui couvraient la planète. Depuis plus de 150 ans, nous les exploitons sans relâche pour alimenter notre électricité, nos transports et notre agriculture. (Rediffusion du 11 avril 2025). Mais les gisements les plus accessibles et rentables s'épuisent, tandis que leur combustion libère des gaz à effet de serre perturbant notre climat. Il est donc temps, malgré les résistances comme celles de Donald Trump, de nous désintoxiquer. Mais comment y parvenir ? Donald Trump a signé mardi des décrets, entourés de mineurs en tenue de chantier, destinés à «doper» l'extraction de charbon aux États-Unis. Ces textes, ratifiés par le président, prévoient de lever les barrières réglementaires à l'extraction de charbon, et de suspendre les fermetures de nombreuses centrales à charbon pour «plus que doubler» leur production d'électricité, notamment pour répondre à l'essor de l'intelligence artificielle.  Nous parlons de notre dépendance aux énergies fossiles avec Francis Perrin, directeur de recherche à l'IRIS (l'Institut des relations internationales et stratégiques) et chercheur associé au Policy Center for the New South, un centre de réflexion basé à Rabat, au Maroc. Puis, nous vous emmenons en Écosse, où l'an dernier, la production de pétrole en mer du Nord a atteint son plus bas niveau depuis les années 70. Cependant, les projets d'énergies renouvelables, notamment dans l'éolien, peinent à se concrétiser. La fermeture de la raffinerie de Grangemouth, cet été, suscite des inquiétudes, avec des salariés espérant une reconversion vers la recherche ou la production de carburants verts.

What really happens to medicines after we swallow them? Where do they end up… and what exactly are we flushing away? Which medicines might we be taking —unknowingly—the next time we pour a glass of tap water?In this episode, we explore the hidden life of pharmaceuticals after they leave our bodies. Professor Alistair Boxall, environmental chemist at the University of York, joins us to unpack the real impact of medicines on our rivers and waterways.We delve into the risks these drugs pose to ecosystems, the surprising range of pharmaceuticals now detected in UK rivers, and the solutions that could help protect both wildlife and human health.It's a fascinating journey—from the pharmacy to the sewer pipe, and into the natural world. A story of unintended consequences… and why they matter.Relevant resources we discuss:-Pharmaceutical Pollution of the English National Parkshttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/etc.5973-Pharmaceutical wastewater as Emerging Contaminants (EC): Treatment technologies, impact on environment and human health https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nexus.2022.100076-Streams of medicines: what's hiding in the UK's waterways? The Guardian: Science Weekly  podcast https://www.theguardian.com/science/audio/2025/apr/08/streams-of-medicines-whats-hiding-in-the-uks-waterways-podcastAs with all of our guests, Alistair shares with us his Memory Evoking Medicine, a career anthem and book that has influenced his life.From Prescription to Ocean — A TEDx Talk by Jamie Hayes.

On choisit souvent nos vêtements en fonction d'elles, certains les aiment vives, d'autres plus sobres pour aller avec tout. Les couleurs ont une place importante en matière de mode, pourtant on s'intéresse peu à la manière dont on les fabrique, la façon dont elles imprègnent plus ou moins difficilement les tissus. La teinture textile est un savoir-faire qui s'est développé au cours des siècles et un peu partout autour de la planète. Petit à petit, les colorants naturels issus du végétal, ont laissé la place aux colorants de synthèse, les expérimentations, les recherches ont aussi permis de mettre au point de nouvelles couleurs, de les rendre plus résistantes et surtout pour l'industrie textile, de réduire les coûts. La production de teinture est devenue un enjeu économique mais aussi environnemental. Selon l'ADEME, 20% de la pollution des eaux dans le monde serait due aux teintures du secteur textile. Teindre un vêtement n'a donc rien d'anodin pour la planète. L'impact écologique de la couleur invite professionnels et consommateurs s'interroger sur ses modes de productions. Peut-on revenir au tout naturel en matière de teinture? Existe-t-il un patrimoine de recettes ancestrales ?  Avec :  • Marie-Jeanne Serbin Thomas, rédactrice en chef du magazine Brune • Dominique Cardon, historienne, spécialiste de l'histoire et de l'archéologie du textile et de la teinture, directrice de recherche émérite au CNRS.

En fin d'émission, la chronique IA débat, de Thibault Matha, un nouveau rendez-vous bimensuel chez 8 milliards de voisins.

(Group Learning Program) - Chapter 21 - Do No Harm: What is The Future of The Planet?Currently, it is well known that the planet has experienced massive destruction from the human population and our daily decisions. The human population of the planet has drastically impacted the planet's natural habitat. Pollution, waste, lack of food, water, and other resources plagues our ability to live in a healthy environment where all beings can thrive.The destruction of the planet is a direct result of the destruction of the mind of all of humanity. The pollution of the mind of all of humanity can be seen in the pollution of the planet.In this Podcast, David will explain how learning and practicing The Teachings of Gotama Buddha will lead to improved health for the planet.——-Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path with The BuddhaDedicated to the education of Gotama Buddha's Teachings to attain Enlightenment.https://www.BuddhaDailyWisdom.com(See our website for online learning, courses, and retreats.)Group Learning Program - LIVE Interactive Online Classes, Book, Audiobook, Videos, Podcast and Personal Guidancehttps://mailchi.mp/f958c59262eb/buddhadailywisdomThe Words of The Buddha - Pali Canon in English Study Grouphttps://mailchi.mp/6bb4fdf2b6e0/palicanonstudyprogramFREE Book - Developing a Life Practice: The Path That Leads to Enlightenmenthttps://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/freebuddhabooksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DailyWisdom999YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DailyWisdom999Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/buddhadailywisdom/Support our efforts to share The Teachings of Gotama Buddha with you and worldwide for all people using this link.https://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/supportbuddha#buddhism #learnbuddhism #enlightenment #dhamma #dharma #buddha #meditation #meditationretreat #meditationcourse

What does it take to confront generations of environmental racism and win?In this episode, Senior Attorney Chandra Taylor-Sawyer of the Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) pulls back the curtain on what it really means to fight for environmental justice in the U.S. South. From zoning decisions that quietly turn Black neighborhoods into dumping grounds, to federal rollbacks that threaten the very civil rights tools that communities rely on, Chandra explains how injustice is built and how organized communities can dismantle it. She shares her journey from North Carolina to national leadership, the creation of SELC's Environmental Justice Initiative, and the urgent battles unfolding right now to protect civil rights regulations, defend bedrock environmental laws, and challenge discriminatory permitting practices. Chandra also highlights SELC's groundbreaking storytelling project, “Plantations to Pollution,” which traces how historic disinvestment shapes present-day environmental harms and how communities are rising to demand a different future.This episode is both a warning and a rallying cry. Even as federal protections are dismantled and civil rights enforcement is weakened, communities still have powerful tools - public comments, citizen lawsuits, organizing, data collection, and collective pressure - to fight for the healthy, thriving environments that they deserve.If you care about justice anywhere, but particulatly in the South, this conversation will inspire you, ground you in the realities of the struggle, and remind you that change happens when communities refuse to be silent.Resources: Southern Environmental Law Center Website: https://www.selc.org/Plantations to Pollution Project:  https://plantationstopollution.selc.org/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-environmental-justice-lab--5583745/support.Connect with our Environmental Justice Lab community: Instagram: @envjusticelab YouTube: @envjusticelab Email: theenvironmentaljusticelab@gmail.comDon't forget to subscribe and rate the podcast wherever you listen!

On the Monday November 24th edition of Georgia Today: The growth of data centers is on the rise in Georgia - and some residents are pushing back; Georgia's Fort Benning could be the site of a new nuclear reactor; And how will the federal ban on THC products affect the Georgia hemp industry? 

This episode originally aired on March 15, 2021: In the management and conservation of resources, what does it mean to coexist? This week on Terra Informa we are joined by PhD student Krista Tremblett to bring you a story on Indigenous-led approaches to fisheries management in Atlantic Canada. We explore the historical precedence and Treaty commitments that guarantee Indigenous rights to fish for a moderate livelihood. And we investigate the recent conflict that erupted between non-Indigenous commercial fishers and Indigenous fishers following the self-regulated moderate livelihood fishery launched by Sipekne'katik First Nation. Many thanks to our guest Krista Tremblett for contributing her knowledge to this episode. You can learn more about the Sipekne'katik moderate livelihood fishery and how you can support their ongoing efforts here.To learn more about Indigenous fishing livelihoods in a different context, the Mi'gmaq of Listuguj, Quebec, check out the new documentary series Gespe'gewa'gi - the Last Land, directed by Chisasibi filmmaker Ernie Webb.Program log. ★ Support this podcast ★

C'était hier une journée d'hommage à Mehdi Kessaci, à Marseille. Mehdi, 20 ans, assassiné le 13 novembre dernier, était le frère d'Amine Kessaci, jeune militant écologiste engagé contre le narcotrafic dans les quartiers Nord de la ville. Un assassinat interprété comme un « crime d'avertissement ». Hier, plus de 6 000 personnes se sont rassemblées à Marseille, dont de nombreuses personnalités politiques. Le Parisien-Dimanche a choisi une photo où l'on voit la mère des deux jeunes hommes, portant un foulard blanc, éplorée, soutenue par son fils Amine. Elle s'est adressée aux assassins de Mehdi, abattu par deux hommes à moto : « Assassins », leur a-t-elle dit, « vous m'avez déjà tuée, mais vous ne tuerez jamais mon amour, celui que j'ai pour mes enfants ». Dans la foule, une maman témoigne : « On craint pour notre vie, pour notre famille. Il faut briser le silence, sortir de l'omerta et couper la tête de ces mafias ».  La vie dans les quartiers La Tribune Dimanche a, elle aussi, rencontré des Marseillais venus participer à ce rassemblement. C'est le cas de Béatrice, une enseignante d'une quarantaine d'années qui raconte : « Dans les quartiers, il n'y a plus aucun service public, à part l'école. Même les médecins ont fui. Il ne reste plus que la drogue et la mort. C'est comme si on ne voulait pas que les pauvres s'en sortent ». Dans son éditorial, Bruno Jeudy appelle, lui, à faire front contre le narcotrafic : « Plus personne ne doit baisser les yeux » dit-il, « ni les élus, ni les forces de l'ordre, ni les magistrats, ni surtout les citoyens. Luttons contre cette pieuvre qui étouffe la République, brise des vies et fabrique la mort ». Netanyahu sur la corde raide L'Express se penche sur l'avenir de Benyamin Netanyahu.  A l'approche de nouvelles élections, l'année prochaine, l'hebdomadaire soupèse les chances du Premier ministre israélien, 76 ans. « Cerné de toutes parts, donné perdant, il devra mener une campagne des législatives à haut risque. » D'autant que, ajoute l'hebdomadaire, « depuis le 7 octobre, Netanyahou a perdu deux de ses principaux atouts : il s'était toujours vendu comme "Monsieur Sécurité", capable de protéger Israël, et il se disait le seul capable de défendre les intérêts israéliens, en particulier vis-à-vis des Etats-Unis. Or, il ne peut plus rien refuser à Trump ». Pour autant, Netanyahu ne part pas perdant, précise l'Express : « Même si les sondages ne le placent pas très haut, toute personne suivant la politique israélienne sait qu'il reste une force majeure et qu'il fera tout ce qui est en son pouvoir pour survivre politiquement. »  Retour en France L'écrivain franco-algérien Boualem Sansal est en France et à la Une du Point. Boualem Sansal, libéré le 12 novembre après avoir passé un an en prison en Algérie. Il a finalement été gracié par le président algérien, à la suite d'une médiation du président allemand. Avant de revenir en France, cette semaine, Boualem Sansal a passé plusieurs jours en Allemagne. En Une, le Point nous promet « ses premières paroles d'homme libre », paroles recueillies par son ami Kamel Daoud, écrivain franco-algérien lui aussi, qui a pu joindre Boualem Sansal, alors qu'il était encore en Allemagne. « Veux-tu que j'écrive une phrase précise ? », lui demande Kamel Daoud. « Bonjour la France, Boualem revient, on va gagner ! » répond Boualem Sansal. L'écrivain raconte également qu'en prison, il n'a pas pu écrire. « J'étais comme coupé du monde » dit-il. Discrétion On n'en saura guère plus. Car depuis qu'il est rentré en Europe, en Allemagne, puis en France, Boualem Sansal n'a fait aucune apparition publique, n'a répondu à aucune question de journaliste. Une discrétion toute diplomatique, qui a sans doute été négociée en même temps que la libération de l'écrivain, et alors que les relations semblent se réchauffer entre la Paris et Alger. Ce qui donne un peu d'espoir pour un autre détenu en Algérie. Le Point rappelle  que le journaliste français Christophe Gleizes, accusé notamment « d'apologie du terrorisme », « condamné en juin dernier à 7 ans de prison, sera  jugé en appel, le 3 décembre prochain ».  Boues industrielles L'eau potable manque dans certaines régions du nord-est de la France. C'est le Nouvel Obs, qui s'est penché sur la question et nous explique « que les habitants de plusieurs communes ont interdiction depuis l'été de consommer l'eau du robinet, en raison de taux de polluants éternels supérieurs à la norme », les fameux PFAS, qui font si peur... En cause, notamment, des boues industrielles, « épandues sur des parcelles agricoles ». Pour les habitants, contraints d'utiliser l'eau en bouteille, l'heure est à l'inquiétude. « Depuis combien de temps boivent-ils une eau contaminée ? Des mois, des années, voire des décennies ? » interroge le Nouvel Obs. Chacun craint pour sa santé. Une habitante, qui a même renoncé à l'eau du robinet pour faire ses lessives, le dit franchement :« Cette eau, je la vois maintenant comme du poison ».

À Dakar, la pollution de l'air reste un problème majeur, particulièrement autour des grands axes routiers. Face à cette situation, une start-up sénégalaise mise sur la technologie pour sensibiliser les plus jeunes. Des capteurs de qualité de l'air ont été installés dans plusieurs écoles du pays. De notre correspondante à Dakar, Dans la cour de l'école El Hadji Mbaye Diop, un petit boîtier fixé au mur attire l'attention. Les élèves, eux, le connaissent bien désormais, comme Christelle Williams, 12 ans, cheffe du gouvernement des élèves : « On a des élèves asthmatiques dans l'école avec des problèmes de respiration. Grâce aux capteurs, quand on a des tempêtes de sable, par exemple, ça nous alerte, ça envoie un signal directement dans l'ordinateur du directeur. Une fois qu'il reçoit le signal, il donne l'alerte immédiatement. On prévient certains parents pour que leurs enfants portent des masques ou de les garder à la maison en cas de suffocation. » La petite sœur de Christelle est asthmatique. Et comme elle, de nombreux enfants souffrent de maladies respiratoires à Dakar, une capitale étouffée par la pollution. C'est la start-up Kaikai, spécialisée dans le digital pour le développement, qui a installé 50 capteurs dans des écoles aux quatre coins du pays. Dieudonné Fortune Gnanguenon, chef de projet chez Kaikai : « On a un tableau de bord. Vous voyez sur mon ordinateur où on recense tous les endroits où on a déployé des capteurs. Donc ce tableau de bord mesure plusieurs paramètres liés à la qualité de l'air, notamment les particules fines. » « Les enfants asthmatiques sont moins absents » Les valeurs relevées sont souvent élevées dans cette école située en bordure d'une route très passante du quartier de Ouakam : « Par exemple, ce matin, dans cette école, à 9 h 35, nous constatons qu'il y a eu un pic de pollution, peut-être dû à la circulation. » Depuis la mise en place du boîtier, en décembre 2024, le directeur de l'établissement, Moustapha Diagne, a pu constater les effets sur ses plus de 600 élèves. « Il y a eu des améliorations sur les performances scolaires des enfants. Les enfants asthmatiques sont moins absents et les maladies moins fréquentes également et les parents sont moins inquiets. » Les données sont recueillies en temps réel, puis partagées sur des plateformes de données ouvertes comme IQAir. Mais Kaikai veut aller plus loin : que ces informations servent de levier de plaidoyer auprès des pouvoirs publics, explique Dieudonné « La mise à disposition des données sur la qualité de l'air sont disponibles et permettent de caractériser le problème. On a posé les bases de cette initiative qui pourrait être soutenue par le secteur public ou privé et nous accompagner dans le travail que l'on fait. » La dernière loi sur la qualité de l'air au Sénégal remonte à 2004. Kaikai plaide aujourd'hui pour une modernisation de la réglementation. À lire aussiAu Sénégal, une «start-up» recycle les déchets pour réduire les émissions de gaz à effets de serre

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin focuses on a new perspective in Alzheimer's research, particularly the role of microglial cells. She reveals insights from integrative neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter's presentation at the Integrative Healthcare Symposium, emphasizing the significance of microglial cells in Alzheimer's disease. The discussion highlights the traditional focus on beta amyloid plaques and introduces the importance of shifting from the M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype to the M2 anti-inflammatory phenotype of microglial cells. Dr. Perlmutter advocates for addressing systemic metabolic and inflammatory issues, pointing out factors like poor diet, lack of sleep, and high blood sugar, which are crucial in preventing Alzheimer's. The episode delves into lifestyle interventions such as ketogenic diets, fasting, and nutritional impacts to manage and potentially reverse the detrimental shift in microglial behavior.

Pollution sonore et visuelle, consommation énergétique, autonomie limitée, il y a encore beaucoup d'obstacles à relever avant de se déplacer comme dans le "Cinquième Élément".

Début novembre, les courses de Noël commencent pour beaucoup de Français. Le Black Friday, période pendant laquelle une majorité d'acheteurs font leurs cadeaux de Noël, rime maintenant avec surconsommation, gaspillage, pollution, offres promotionnelles douteuses, etc.Dans cet épisode, on parle donc de Black Friday, de Green Friday, de surconsommation, de pollution, de livraisons e-commerce, de seconde main et bien d'autres sujets.

This week's Climate Check adds to a string of stories we never thought we'd see in this nation again. The Clean Water Act of 1972 is landmark legislation that helped un-do generations of pollution. Now, the Trump administration wants to restrict how the Environmental Protection Agency can limit pollution dumped into wetlands. It's a victory for industry and developers — and a real threat to everyone who believes in clean drinking water.

SHOW 11-17-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1899 UKRAINE THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT POTUS... FIRST HOUR 9-915 Pakistan's Military Dominance: Field Marshal Munir's Power and US Relations Guest: Ambassador Husain Haqqani Ambassador Husain Haqqani detailed the institutional dominance of Pakistan's military, noting that Parliament recently granted Field Marshal Asim Munir legal immunity for life and expanded his power by designating him Chief of Defense Forces, giving him control over the entire military, as Munir aims for presidential privileges without directly taking power, backed by a national narrative that Pakistan is perpetually under threat from India, and gained significant political and psychological advantage through two meetings and praise from President Trump, despite no new US aid or weapons, while Trump, who favors strongmen, may also be using this praise to leverage concessions from Indian Prime Minister Modi, as Munir is taking risks by adopting a firmer stance regarding violence on the Northwest frontier with the Taliban, an approach not well received by the Afghans, with Pakistani politicians historically conceding ground to the military to secure a shared portion of power. 915-930 CONTINUED Pakistan's Military Dominance: Field Marshal Munir's Power and US Relations Guest: Ambassador Husain Haqqani Ambassador Husain Haqqani detailed the institutional dominance of Pakistan's military, noting that Parliament recently granted Field Marshal Asim Munir legal immunity for life and expanded his power 930-945 China's Economic Slump: Export Decline, Policy Failures, and Property Market Stagnation Guests: Anne Stevenson-Yang and Gordon Chang Anne Stevenson-Yang and Gordon Chang discussed the unprecedented slump in China's economic activity, noting cooled investment and slowing industrial output, with exports falling 25% to the US, attributing this long-term decline to the government's 2008 decision to pull back economic reforms and the current 15th Five-Year Plan lacking viable solutions or bailouts for hurting localities, while consumption remains dangerously low (around 38% of GDP) and is expected to shrink further as the government prioritizes technological development and factory production, with the property market collapsing as capital investment, land sales, and unit prices decline, forcing people to hold onto decaying apartments and risking stagnation for decades similar to Japan post-1989, a problem largely self-created due to overcapacity, although other countries like Brazil are also restricting Chinese imports. 945-1000 China's Role in Global Drug Epidemics: Meth Precursors and Weaponizing Chemicals. Guests: Kelly Curry and Gordon Chang. Kelly Curry and Gordon Chang detailed China's crucial role in the global drug trade, asserting that China's chemical exports are fueling a "tsunami of meth" across Asia. Chinese manufacturers supply meth precursor chemicals to warlords, notably the Chinese-aligned, US-sanctioned United Wa State Army in Myanmar. This production (Yaba/ice) is believed to have been diverted from China's domestic market in the 1990s. Both guests confirmed this activity is impossible without the explicit knowledge and support of the Central Committee, noting China grants export subsidies, tax rebates, and uses state banks for money laundering associated with the drug trade. China benefits financially and strategically by weakening US-backed allies like Thailand and South Korea who are flooded with the drugs. This structure mirrors the fentanyl crisis in North America, and experts predict increasing co-production and sharing of chemical methods between Asian drug groups and Mexican cartels. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Syria's Complex Geopolitics: Air Bases, Sanctions, Accountability, and Great Power Mediation Guest: Ahmad Sharawi Ahmad Sharawi discussed the non-transparent situation in Syria, focusing on reports of potential US air bases (Mezzeh and Dumayr), with denials from the Syrian government suggesting they won't possess the bases but might allow US use for counter-ISIS missions or potentially a security agreement requested by Israel for deconfliction, noting a recent US C-130 spotted landing at the Mezzeh air base near Damascus, while during a reported White House visit, Syrian requests included the removal of Caesar sanctions (partially waived by President Trump) and an Israeli withdrawal from the southern border buffer zone, with domestic movement towards accountability for the Suwayda province massacre and government security forces being arrested, as a Russian military delegation visited Damascus and southern Syria, potentially acting as a deconfliction mechanism between Syria and Israeli forces, with Russia's goal appearing to be balancing regional interests while maintaining its bases in western Syria. 1015-1030 CONTINUED Syria's Complex Geopolitics: Air Bases, Sanctions, Accountability, and Great Power Mediation Guest: Ahmad Sharawi Ahmad Sharawi discussed the non-transparent situation in Syria, focusing on reports of potential US air bases (Mezzeh and Dumayr), with denials from the Syrian government... 1030-1045 Venezuela Crisis: Potential Maduro Exit and Shifting Political Tides in Latin America Guests: Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo discussed the crisis in Venezuela, noting a powerful US fleet gathered nearby, with Maduro fearing military intervention and reportedly wanting to discuss surrender conditions with President Trump, though his exit is complicated by his ally Diosdado Cabello, who heads operations for the Cartel of the Suns and has no path for redemption, while Maduro's potential fall would deliver a severe blow to the organized crime and drug trafficking networks that permeate South America's political structures, with the opposition, led by María Corina Machado, having transition plans, and Brazilian President Lula neutralized from strongly opposing US actions due to ongoing tariff negotiations with Trump, as the conversation highlighted a new conservative political wave in Latin America, with optimism reported in Argentina following elections that strengthened Javier Milei, and in Chile, where conservative José Antonio Kast is strongly positioned, representing a blend of economic freedom, anti-organized crime platforms, and conservative values. 1045-1100 CONTINUED Venezuela Crisis: Potential Maduro Exit and Shifting Political Tides in Latin America Guests: Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo discussed the crisis in Venezuela, noting a powerful US fleet gathered nearby, with Maduro fearing military intervention and... THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 1/4 Jews Versus Rome: Two Centuries of Rebellion and the Cost of Diaspora Revolts Professor Barry Strauss of Cornell University, Professor Emeritus and Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, discusses the history of Jewish resistance against the Roman Empire as detailed in his book Jews versus Rome. Following the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem, rebellion continued among Jewish communities scattered across the Roman world. 1115-1130 CONTINUED 2/4 During Emperor Trajan's campaign against the Parthian Empire, a widespread and coordinated "diaspora revolt" erupted in 115–117 AD, beginning in Libya and spreading to Egypt, Cyprus, and Mesopotamia. This was a major challenge, forcing Trajan to divert a legion, as Egypt was the empire's strategic breadbasket. The revolt was spurred by the insulting Jewish tax, the fiscus Judaicus, paid to Jupiter, and the frustrated expectation that the Temple would be rebuilt within 70 years. The Jewish community in Alexandria, possibly the largest Jewish city in the ancient world, was wiped out during the suppression, a disaster for diaspora Judaism. 1130-1145 CONTINUED 3/4 srajan's successor, Hadrian, revered the war against Parthia but recognized the Jews' disloyalty. Starting in 117 AD, Hadrian planned to rebuild Jerusalem as a pagan city named Aelia Capitolina to demonstrate that the Temple would never be restored and to discourage collusion between Jews and Parthians. This provoked the Bar Kokhba Revolt in 132 AD. The leader, Simon Bar Kosa, took the messianic title Bar Kokhba, meaning "Son of the Star," and was accepted as the Messiah by some leading rabbis, including Rabbi Akiva. 1145-1200 CONTINUED The rebels utilized successful asymmetrical warfare, operating from underground tunnel systems and ambushing Roman forces. The conflict was so severe that Hadrian deployed reinforcements from across the empire, including Britain, and the Roman army was badly mauled. The revolt ended bloodily at the stronghold of Betar. As lasting punishment for centuries of trouble and rebellion, the Romans renamed the province from Judea to Syria Palestina. Pockets of resistance continued, notably the Gallus Revolt in 351–352 AD. Guest: Professor Barry Strauss. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Iran's Multi-Faceted Crises: Water Scarcity, Pollution, and Transnational Repression Guest: Jonathan Sayah Jonathan Sayah discussed the multi-faceted crises plaguing Iran, reflecting poor management and ecological decline, with Tehran overwhelmed by severe water scarcity as dams dry up and crippling air pollution with CO2 levels 10 times the WHO standard, while the water crisis is worsened by the regime, especially IRGC-affiliated contractors, who prioritize their support base through unregulated mega-projects, leading to rivers and lakes drying up, a deliberate deprivation of clean water that constitutes a human rights violation, as environmental disasters have driven widespread internal migration into Tehran, taxing infrastructure and leading to issues like land subsidence, with the population considered "prime for unrest," while separately, Iran continues its policy of transnational repression, highlighted by the recent foiled plot to assassinate Israel's ambassador in Mexico, as Iran targets both Israeli/American officials and relies on criminal networks to repress Iranian dissidents abroad, while consistently holding American dual citizens hostage as political leverage. 1215-1230 CONTINUED 1230-1245 Ukraine Conflict: French Arms Deal, Sabotage, and the Perilous Battle for Pokrovsk. Guest: John Hardy. John Hardy reported that Ukraine signed a letter of intent with France to obtain 100 Rafale warplanes over 10 years, along with air defense systems. While this partnership is encouraging, Hardy expressed concern that Ukraine is excessively over-diversifying its future air fleet (including F-16, Grippen, Mirage, and Rafale) which complicates long-term sustainment and maintenance. Simultaneously, alarming reports surfaced that sabotage was blamed for an explosion on a major railway line in Poland used to supply Ukraine, fitting a pattern of suspected Russian covert operations against European infrastructure. On the battlefield, fighting continues in Pokrovsk (Picro). Hardy warned that if Ukrainian forces prioritize a politically motivated hold, they risk the encirclement and destruction of troops in nearby areas. Poor weather, such as fog, plays a significant role in the conflict, as Russians often time assaults during these conditions to impede Ukrainian aerial reconnaissance and FPV drones 1245-100 AM raq Elections and Yemen's Houthi Crackdown Guest: Bridget Toomey Bridget Toomey discussed recent developments in Iraq and Yemen, noting that Iraqi parliamentary elections saw a higher-than-expected 56% voter turnout, with preliminary results suggesting Shiite parties close to Tehran performed well and might secure enough seats to form the next government, despite internal infighting and votes remaining largely sectarian, while Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani received credit for stability and his party performed strongly, though many Iraqis doubt the elections affect real change, believing critical decisions are made via elite backroom deals, and turning to Yemen, the Houthis announced the arrest of a purported Saudi-American-Israeli spy ring, a paranoid crackdown following Israel's successful targeting of Houthi government and military leaders in August, with arrests including 59 UN workers and prosecutors requesting the death sentence for 21, aiming to intimidate domestic dissent and signal resolve to Western and regional adversaries, especially in sensitive Houthi locations in Sana'a.

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Neha Khanna and Ruohao Zhang about how government shutdowns prevent active air-pollution monitoring—and end up leading to more air pollution from coal-fired power plants while monitoring is on hiatus. Professor Khanna from Binghamton University and Assistant Professor Zhang from Pennsylvania State University published a related study, with another coauthor, examining the impact of the 2018–2019 government shutdown on pollution emissions from federally regulated coal-fired power plants. The authors found that the hiatus on pollution monitoring by federal employees, who were furloughed during the shutdown, led to an increase in the types of pollutants that required manual regulation at power plants. In this podcast episode, Khanna and Zhang reflect on how these findings may likewise inform how pollution rates may have changed during the government shutdown that ended just last week.

The most substantial by-product of human consumption is waste, thus far omitted on balance sheets and in calculation of individual and gross national product. Waste comes in many forms: polluted water, poisoned land, energy lost, habitat destroyed, industrial waste, food discarded, planned obsolescence, even recycling. What remains? The ocean. While under stress by the same forces, it contains the necessary supply of source and resource if we have the courage to sustain it.About World Ocean Radio World Ocean Radio is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by college and community radio stations worldwide.

Between the 1960s and the turn of the century, an astonishingly large number of serial killers grew up or operated in America's Pacific Northwest. Caroline Fraser's book Murderland, reviewed in the LRB by James Lasdun, argues that a significant contributing factor may have been the spew of lead fumes and other toxic emissions that billowed unchecked across the region during those decades. On this episode, James joins Tom to discuss the evidence, and what the juxtaposition of industrial lead poisoning and serial murder may tell us about different kinds of violence in modern America, even if a direct causal link remains unproved.
