It stars Ryan Gosling, who also produced the film, as Ryland Grace, and Sandra Hüller, James Ortiz, and Lionel Boyce play supporting roles. The story follows Ryland Grace, a middle school teacher who awakens aboard an interstellar spacecraft with no memory of how he got there. Pre-production began in 2020, before Weir's novel was published. Filming took place throughout 2024 in the United Kingdom, both on location and on sets. All scenes aboard the spacecraft Hail Mary were filmed on a practical set that was constructed for the film. Project Hail Mary premiered in London on March 9, 2026, and was released in the United States by Amazon MGM Studios on March 20, with Sony Pictures Releasing International releasing in other territories. It received positive reviews, with praise for Lord and Miller's direction, Gosling's performance, the character of Rocky, as well as the humor, themes and visuals. It was a commercial success, grossing over $685 million worldwide and becoming the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2026. Plot In the near future, middle school teacher and former molecular biologist Ryland Grace wakes up from an induced coma on the interstellar spacecraft Hail Mary, suffering from amnesia. Grace learns that he is the sole survivor of a three-person crew that was traveling towards the Tau Ceti system, 11.9 light-years from Earth. In a series of flashbacks, Grace recalls that scientists discovered a "Petrova line" of infrared light stretching from the Sun to Venus; an alien microbe in the line, dubbed "astrophage", was proliferating on the Sun's surface, dimming the Sun at a rate that would cause catastrophic global cooling within thirty years. The head of the Petrova Taskforce, Eva Stratt, recruited Grace to study it due to his background in speculative astrobiology. Grace experimented on a sample and discovered that astrophage was composed of unicellular organisms that absorb electromagnetic radiation from the Sun and expel it for propulsion. Grace joined Stratt's Project Hail Mary, an international "long-shot" mission to send a crewed spacecraft to Tau Ceti, the only star in Earth's solar neighborhood not occluded by astrophage. The flight to Tau Ceti would be a suicide mission, as the ship could only carry enough fuel for a one-way trip; any findings would have to return to Earth in smaller space probes. In the present, Grace encounters an alien spacecraft that docks with the Hail Mary. It is made of a solid form of xenon, which Grace dubs "xenonite". The ship's occupant is a rock-like, five-legged alien from Erid, a planet in the 40 Eridani A system. Grace names the alien "Rocky", deduces that Eridians "see" via echolocation, and creates a machine translation system to interpret Rocky's musical language into English. Rocky is a mechanical engineer and the sole survivor of the Eridians' mission to save their own star from astrophage infection. Grace and Rocky agree to work together, and become close friends. As neither can survive in the other's atmosphere, Rocky works aboard the Hail Mary inside a pressurized ball of xenonite. Grace and Rocky study the Petrova line of the planet Tau Ceti e, which Grace names "Adrian",{{cite web |url=https://www.techradar.com/streaming/entertainment/project-hail-mary-ending-explained |title=''Project Hail Mary'' Ending Explained: What happens to Ryland Grace and Rocky, will there be a sequel, and more on Ryan Gosling's new sci-fi movie |last=Power |first=Tom |website=[[TechRadar]] |date=March 20, 2026 |access-date=May 26, 2026 |archive-date=March 21, 2026 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260321104440/https://www.techradar.com/streaming/entertainment/project-hail-mary-ending-explained |url-status=live}}"}},"i":0}}]}">[a] and discovers that the line hosts an entire microbial biosphere. Rocky theorizes that microbial organisms in Adrian's atmosphere are consuming the astrophage, keeping the population in check. Learning that Grace cannot return home, Rocky offers to share some of his own ship's astrophage fuel with the Hail Mary. Grace remembers that an astrophage explosion killed the original crew's science officers. With no time to train replacements, Stratt asked Grace to join the mission. During a risky maneuver to gather the astrophage predator from Adrian's atmosphere, a fuel leak causes the Hail Mary to spin uncontrollably, rendering Grace unconscious. Rocky breaks out of his ball to save Grace but is severely injured. While Rocky recovers, Grace studies the captured astrophage predator, dubbing it "taumoeba"[b] and selectively breeding it to survive the nitrogen in Venus's atmosphere. Rocky revives, and the two celebrate their success; Grace recalls that he fearfully refused to join the Hail Mary crew, but Stratt had him drugged and put aboard the ship anyway, believing he was the only one capable of completing the mission. Rocky and Grace say their goodbyes and begin their journeys back home. Shortly thereafter, Grace discovers that the taumoeba has evolved to escape its xenonite breeding tanks and is starting to consume Hail Mary's astrophage fuel. Grace stops the taumoeba leak, but realizes that Rocky's ship, being entirely made of xenonite, will have no way to contain the taumoeba; it will eat all of Rocky's fuel, stranding him and dooming Erid. Grace decides to use his remaining fuel to rescue Rocky and the Eridians rather than return home, and sends his video logs and taumoeba samples to Earth via the probes. Stratt and her team receive the probes and use the taumoeba to cure the Sun's astrophage infection. Meanwhile, on Erid, Grace lives in an Earth-like biodome the Eridians have constructed for him. Rocky informs him that Eridian scientists can prepare the Hail Mary for the return voyage to Earth. Grace ponders the news before beginning another day of teaching science to eager Eridian children. Cast Ryan Gosling, who portrays Dr. Ryland Grace, also served as a producer on the film Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace, a middle school science teacher and former molecular biologist on a mission to save humanity[7] Sandra Hüller as Eva Stratt, the head of the international task force behind Project Hail Mary[8] James Ortiz as Rocky, an alien Grace encounters on his journey.[9] The character was effected through a puppet controlled by a team of five puppeteers led by Ortiz, dubbed the "Rockyteers", with Ortiz also providing the artificial voice assigned to him[10] Ortiz also has an uncredited role as a television presenter[11] Lionel Boyce as Carl, a member of security personnel Ken Leung as Yao Li-Jie, the Chinese commander of the Hail Mary spacecraft Milana Vayntrub as Olesya Ilyukhina, a Russian engineer on board the Hail Mary Priya Kansara as the voice of Mary, the Hail Mary's onboard computer[9] Malachi Kirby as Martin Dubois, the original scientist of the Hail Mary[12] Liz Kingsman as Annie Shapiro, a backup scientist of the Hail Mary Mia Soteriou as Dr. Browne Orion Lee as Dr. Li Michelle Greenidge as Chimamanda Additionally, Eunice Huthart (the film's stunt coordinator), Damien de Froberville (co-president of Sony Pictures Animation), Ray Porter (the audiobook narrator), and Meryl Streep provided the rejected alternative voices for Rocky.[13][14] Production Development In March 2020, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was nearing a deal to acquire adaptation rights to the then-upcoming Andy Weir novel Project Hail Mary (2021), with Ryan Gosling set to star in and produce the film.[7] The rights for the novel were acquired for $3 million.[15] In May 2020, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were hired to direct and produce the film.[16] Due to Lord and Miller being unable to work on the screenplay because of commitments to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), Drew Goddard (who previously adapted Weir's 2011 novel The Martian into a 2015 film) was hired the following month to write the screenplay.[17][18] In April 2024, Amazon, which acquired Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 2022,[19] revealed a possible 2026 release window for the film.[20] In May 2024, Sandra Hüller joined the cast, with Greig Fraser hired as cinematographer.[8] Milana Vayntrub joined the cast the following month.[21] Filming The film's crew, actors Ryan Gosling and Sandra Hüller, writer Drew Goddard, author/producer Andy Weir, and directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller visiting NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory on February 25, 2026 Principal photography began on June 3, 2024, in the United Kingdom and wrapped on October 26, 2024.[22][23] Filming took place at Shepperton Studios.[24] Location filming occurred at The Hemel Hempstead School, the South Parade Pier in Portsmouth,[25] the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory in Cambridge,[26] and Durdle Door and Man o' War Cove in Dorset.[27][28][29] The film was "filmed for IMAX" by using large-sensor Arri Alexa 65 cameras, which provide 6.5K (20 MP) of resolution, with an aspect ratio of 2.1:1,[30] utilizing the whole sensor with anamorphic lenses rotated by 90 degrees to achieve the IMAX standard 1.43:1 aspect ratio. For regular presentations, the common 2:1 format (Univisium) was derived by cropping the top and bottom of the IMAX image. The film switches between taller and wider aspect ratios. When a scene takes place in the present, a taller aspect ratio is used—1.43:1 for IMAX 15/70 mm or Dual Laser, 1.85:1 for Xenon or Single Laser, and 2.00:1 for non-IMAX presentations. For scenes in the past, an aspect ratio of 2.39:1, a standard ratio for anamorphic process cinematography, was achieved with the regular use of anamorphic lenses.[31] In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Miller mentioned that no chroma keying was used in the film, with the entire set being shot practically.[32] Fraser had previously collaborated with visual effects supervisor Paul Lambert on the Dune films; their disdain for green and blue screens, which impacts lighting and visuals through color spill, led them to use blackouts and grey screens on the film instead.[33] Miller had previously stated that VFX was used to depict the spaceship from the outside, while shots of Gosling in space were shot against a black or varying color backdrop.[34] NASA provided support through both the input of scientific experts and astronaut Kjell N. Lindgren visiting Gosling during filming to share insights on human spaceflight.[35] Post-production The visual effects were developed by Framestore (which also collaborated on the film adaptation of The Martian),[36] Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), Sony Pictures Imageworks, BUF and Wylie Co. VFX, with Mags Sarnowska serving as visual effects supervisor alongside Lambert.[37] While puppeteer Ortiz voiced Rocky during filming with Gosling, it was initially thought that a more high-profile actor would replace him. However, Lord and Miller felt that Ortiz's performance could not be improved upon during screenings of the film.[38] Lord praised the collaboration between practical and visual effects in the creation of the character Rocky's performance: Rocky was built and designed by the legendary Neal Scanlan and his creature shop and is performed by puppeteering legend James Ortiz and his team, who were on set with Ryan in every scene. Rocky's performance is a beautiful collaboration between James and the other Rockyteers on set and the wonderful animators at Framestore led by the funny soulful Arslan Elver.[39] Miller noted that by the end of the film shots with Rocky were about 50% VFX animation and 50% puppetry.[40] The digitally shot and produced film was transferred to film stock and then re-digitized to achieve the "warmth" of analog film.[31] The initial test screening of the film was 3 hours and 45 minutes long, and was cut down to the final length due to feedback from the screenings.[41] Joel Negron served as film editor.[42] Music Main article: Project Hail Mary (soundtrack) It was announced at San Diego Comic-Con that Daniel Pemberton would score the film. Pemberton worked with Lord and Miller on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and its 2023 sequel, which they produced. This is the first film directed by Lord and Miller to not be scored by Mark Mothersbaugh.[43] The score, consisting of 38 tracks, was released digitally on March 20, 2026.[44] The film also includes fourteen other songs, including "Sign of the Times" by Harry Styles, "Two of Us" by the Beatles, "Rainbows" by Dennis Wilson and "Gracias a la vida" sung by Mercedes Sosa.[45] Marketing The film's title on the marquee of Moreland Theater in Portland, Oregon in March 2026 The first trailer was released on June 30, 2025.[46] It was the most-viewed trailer for any original film in the first week of its release, accumulating 400 million views globally.[47] Lego released a model of the Hail Mary spacecraft on March 1, 2026, as part of the Lego Icons series.[48] Release Theatrical Project Hail Mary was released on March 20, 2026, in 4,007 theaters by Amazon MGM Studios in the United States and Canada, and Sony Pictures Releasing International in all other territories.[5] It was also released in select IMAX theaters, with a 1.43:1 aspect ratio.{{cite web |last=D'Alessandro |first=Anthony |title=Ryan Gosling, Lord & Miller Amazon MGM Studios Space Adventure ''Project Hail Mary'' Sets Launch for Spring 2026 |date=April 18, 2024 |website=[[Deadline Hollywood]] |url=https://deadline.com/2024/04/ryan-gosling-project-hail-mary-release-date-1235889844/ |access-date=April 18, 2024 |archive-date=April 19, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240419002823/https://deadline.com/2024/04/ryan-gosling-project-hail-mary-release-date-1235889844/ |url-status=live}}{{cite web |last=D'Alessandro |first=Anthony |title=Amazon MGM Studios & Sony Pictures Ink Multi-Year International Theatrical Distribution Deal |date=June 27, 2025 |website=[[Deadline Hollywood]] |url=https://deadline.com/2025/06/amazon-mgm-studios-sony-international-distribution-1236444141/ |access-date=July 1, 2025 |archive-date=June 27, 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250627130223/https://deadline.com/2025/06/amazon-mgm-studios-sony-international-distribution-1236444141/ |url-status=live}}{{cite web |last=Gray |first=Jeremy |date=June 30, 2025 |title=''Project Hail Mary'' Film Adaptation Looks Like a Visual Feast |url=https://petapixel.com/2025/06/30/project-hail-mary-film-adaptation-looks-like-a-visual-feast/ |access-date=July 1, 2025 |website=[[PetaPixel]] |archive-date=July 12, 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250712225014/https://petapixel.com/2025/06/30/project-hail-mary-film-adaptation-looks-like-a-visual-feast/ |url-status=live |language=en-US}}{{cite web |last=Kim |first=Anny |date=December 16, 2025 |title=Everything to know about ''Project Hail Mary'', coming soon from Amazon MGM Studios |url=https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/project-hail-mary-ryan-gosling-amazon-mgm-studios |access-date=December 31, 2025 |publisher=About Amazon |language=en-US}}"}},"i":0}}]}">[c] Home media The film was released on digital streaming platforms on May 12, 2026.[53] It began streaming on the MGM+ subscription streaming service and Prime Video on June 18 and July 3, respectively.[54][55][56] It was also released on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD on August 11, 2026, by Alliance Entertainment.[57] Following the standard disc release will be an Amazon exclusive three-disc SteelBook gift set, scheduled for October 13.[57] It will include a third disc with the film in its full 1.43:1 IMAX ratio, plus additional bonus material and a collectible booklet.[citation needed] Reception Box office As of September 11, 2026 Project Hail Mary has grossed $344.1 million in the United States and Canada, and $341.2 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $685.3 million.[4][5] In the United States and Canada, Project Hail Mary was released on March 20, 2026, and was projected to gross $63–65 million in North America from 4,007 theaters in its opening weekend.[58] Initially, publications estimated that the film would gross $45–55 million.[59] After grossing $31 million on opening day, including $12 million in previews, the film debuted to $80.6 million in the United States and Canada,[60] and $60.4 million overseas for a worldwide total of $141 million,[61] becoming Amazon MGM Studios' biggest debut to date.[60] In its second weekend, the film made $54.1 million (a drop of 32.8%), remaining in first.[62] It was surpassed by The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in its third weekend, grossing $31.7 million.[63] In Japan, the film became the highest-grossing foreign film of 2026 in terms of box office revenue attendance on its first day of release.[64] Critical response The performances of Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller, and James Ortiz were praised by critics On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 95% of 430 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.2/10. The website's consensus reads: "A visually dazzling space odyssey that's carried along effortlessly by the gravitational pull of Ryan Gosling at his most winning, Project Hail Mary is a near-miraculous fusion of smarts and heart."[65] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 77 out of 100, based on 60 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[66] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an "A" on an A+ to F scale.[67] The film received an average rating of 8 out of 10 from Cine21.[68] G. Allen Johnson of the San Francisco Chronicle deemed it "a masterpiece of a family popcorn movie, with eye-popping hand-crafted production design and outstanding creature design and puppetry work."[69] Randy Myers of The Mercury News gave the film a 3.5/4 rating, writing: "While you can't help but marvel at the visuals and applaud the commitment of Gosling's endearing performance, what also makes Project Hail Mary so gosh darn lovable is that it imbues us with child-like wonder from scenes that pay homage to such classics as E.T., Flight of the Navigator and, yes, Rocky."[70] Cosplay of Ryland Grace with a fan-created Rocky prop at NärCon 2026 Robbie Collin of The Telegraph concluded in his review: "Does it have many original ideas of its own? Perhaps not. But its greatest hits mixtape of other people's has been compiled with such flair – as well as a sound comprehension of why they worked so well the first time – that it's hard not to be swept up regardless."[71] Barry Hertz of The Globe and Mail shared a similar opinion, writing: "At almost every turn, Project Hail Mary attempts to convince you that it is groundbreaking, innovative filmmaking. But in actuality, the movie lands as a grand act of cinematic recycling – the fusing together of familiar, comforting bits and pieces into something determined to please crowds and warm hearts."[72] Amy Nicholson of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "While Stanley Kubrick's unsentimental 2001: A Space Odyssey inspired the iPad, Lord and Miller want to inspire a better version of us."[73] Brian Truitt of USA Today gave the film a four out of four rating, writing that "Project Hail Mary is one of those old-school popcorn movies with big ideas, the kind of film that Steven Spielberg and George Lucas would have made back in the day and kids of all ages would have obsessed over and bought the toys."[74] Ryan Cooper of The American Prospect wrote that the film portrayed a "shockingly realistic view of heroism" and was "one of the rare films that is quite a bit better than the book".[75] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian wrote: "Gosling is an effortlessly charming screen player, and he keeps it watchable, though the film itself has moments of dullness and a sort of puppyish silliness [...] Perhaps refreshingly, the film doesn't aim for the stunned awe and rapture of, say, Christopher Nolan's Interstellar or even Jon Spaihts' underrated Passengers, but it does have the classic sci-fi spacecraft tropes: the huge, mysterious architecture with its vertiginous tunnels in which legacy pop music is played to soothe the inhabitants."[76] GVSU anthropology professor Deana L. Weibel praised Grace's intellectual humility in the film.[77] Nicholas Barber of the BBC declared it one of the best films of 2026, writing: Project Hail Mary is an unusual science-fiction blockbuster in that it's mostly about people using their brains to solve problems [...] Does that approach sound a bit dry and academic? If so, rest assured that Project Hail Mary is touching and inspiring – and surprisingly fun [...] it's directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who take a complicated, potentially bleak narrative and make it as fast-paced and cheerful as their animated hit The Lego Movie. Meanwhile, Ryan Gosling brings all of his goofball charm to the role of an amnesiac biologist who is trying to save the world.[78] Conversely, Owen Gleiberman of Variety called it "not a very good movie", adding that "it's baggy and incredibly derivative of movies you've seen before [...] More crucially, everything to do with the onboard alien is far too cute and formulaic".[79]

South of Lancaster, Betty spots a light below the moon that keeps pace with the car past Cannon Mountain and Franconia Notch, and two miles north of North Woodstock it comes down over the highway; Barney walks into a field with 7x50 binoculars and sees figures in shiny black uniforms watching him from a row of windows before he runs back to the car shouting that they're going to be captured. Two sets of beeps from the trunk bracket a thirty-five-mile stretch of road neither of them can remember, and the kitchen clock reads after five when they get home, two hours later than the drive should have taken.From there the episode follows the paper trail: Barney's scuffed shoes, a dozen shiny circles on the trunk lid that send a compass needle spinning, a torn dress dusted with pink powder, and Betty's September 21st call to Pease Air Force Base that produced Air Force Information Report 100-1-61, a document that never mentions the figures Barney saw. Hayden Planetarium lecturer Walter Webb interviews the couple for six hours for NICAP, two IBM men work out the missing two hours in November, and Betty begins five nights of dreams about small men with Jimmy Durante noses who examine her aboard a craft. Barney's health collapses into ulcers, hypertension, and a ring of growths on his groin, and in December 1963 the couple lands in the Back Bay office of Dr. Benjamin Simon, a Second World War Army psychiatrist who hypnotizes them separately over the following months while a tape recorder runs. Barney describes wraparound eyes that pushed into his brain and a cup placed over his groin; Betty describes a needle in her navel, a book of symbols, and a map of stars, which an Ohio schoolteacher named Marjorie Fish will later spend five years matching to Zeta Reticuli with beads and thread, until the Hipparcos satellite's measurements pull six of her fifteen stars out from under it.The episode closes with the case's long tail: folklorist Thomas Bullard's finding that the Hill account defines the typical abduction and that every later case is measured against it, the Boston Traveler leak of October 1965, John Fuller's bestseller The Interrupted Journey, the 1975 NBC film with James Earl Jones and Estelle Parsons that aired sixteen days before Travis Walton vanished in Arizona, Barney's death from a cerebral hemorrhage at forty-six, and Betty's decades of skywatching in New Hampshire fields with a life-size alien bust named Junior in her house. Simon told the Today Show in 1975 that the abduction did not happen; Kathleen Marden, Betty's niece and the keeper of the hypnosis tapes, disputes one of his letters as a forgery; Martin Kottmeyer traces Barney's wraparound eyes to an Outer Limits episode that aired twelve days before his first session; and the dress, tested by chemist Phyllis Budinger, yields mildew and a protein residue nobody has explained. The Portsmouth Historical Society's betty & barney exhibition runs through November 2nd, 2026, two feature films are in development with Demi Moore and Colman Domingo attached to one of them, and the state's Historical Marker 224 on Route 3 in Lincoln still confines itself to what can be documented, and no third witness has ever come forward.

Britain's small-boats crisis is not just about immigration but also about who controls the country, who enforces the law, and what happens when ordinary people stop believing the state will protect them. Nick Griffin returns to break down the anti-immigration protests, the masked young men showing up in force, and why he sees this moment as a turning point in Britain's political mood. You'll hear Griffin explain why masking up has become a tactic for protesters facing politicized policing and selective prosecutions, and how Northern Ireland is shaping the mainland's new protest cultureNG: https://substack.com/@nickgriffin544956https://x.com/NickGriffinBTPFox N' Sons: use code JBurdenJ: https://findmyfrens.net/jburden/Buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/j.burdenSubstack: https://substack.com/@jburdenPatreon: https://patreon.com/JburdenGUMROAD: https://radiofreechicago.gumroad.com/l/ucducAxios: https://axios-remote-fitness-coaching.kit.com/affiliateETH: 0xB06aF86d23B9304818729abfe02c07513e68Cb70BTC: 33xLknSCeXFkpFsXRRMqYjGu43x14X1iEt

What does the label 'protected area' actually tell you about what is being protected? How did the wolf lose its strict protection status in the EU? And what about a legal system that looks strong on paper but leaves animals exposed on the ground? Those questions sit at the heart of 'Protecting Wildlife in Europe: A Comprehensive Analysis of Legislative Frameworks and Their Shortcomings', a paper published in July this year in the Journal of International Wildlife Law and Policy. Today I'm joined by both of its authors. Caroline Cox is an Associate Professor in Wildlife Crime and Policy at the University of Portsmouth. Dr Meganne Natali is a lawyer and legal consultant specialising in wildlife crime, zoonoses prevention and biodiversity conservation. She is also a Visiting Fellow at the University of Portsmouth School of Law. Europe has strong institutions, extensive legislation and considerable scientific knowledge. What it doesn't have, they argue, is a body of law that treats wild animals as individuals capable of suffering rather than as stock, functions and entries in an annex.Caroline and Meganne first met at a conference in Florence and have worked together ever since. Caroline spent years on elephant poaching and the illegal ivory trade before turning her attention to wildlife closer to home. Our conversation starts with fragmentation. EU wildlife law is not one system but several layers sitting on top of each other. The Birds Directive, the Habitats Directive, CITES and national legislation each bring their own lists of species, different listings trigger different levels of protection, and implementation is left to member states. From there we move to national parks. In England and Wales the framework dates to 1949, with two aims that regularly collide, conserving the landscape and giving everyone access to it. Caroline lives in the New Forest and describes what happens there when too many visitors arrive at once. We also get into the badger cull and its link to bovine TB.The wolf takes up a good part of the episode, as it tends to on this podcast. Meganne explains how a species whose numbers grew from around 11,000 animals in 2012 to more than 20,000 in 2023 was moved from Annex IV to Annex V, and what that does and does not change for member states and for wolves. That opens a bigger question about whether protection status should be settled by ecologists or by politicians. There is also a problem with defending wildlife on economic grounds. The same argument runs the other way the moment an animal becomes costly. We also talk about social inequality, compensation for farmers and who ends up carrying the cost of conservation.Subscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Follow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Instagram or YouTubeThe guest featured in this episode paid a nominal guesting fee.

Emma describes her history as working in ‘sales' although she feels she wasn't ‘that good of a salesperson' but she had the unique ability to go from industry to industry. When she was at Yellow Pages, her management and leadership skills were developed. From there, she went on to Biffa (the waste company) and from there to Excalibur which was her first experience with IT. After 9/10 years, she left and went to a digital marketing agency before joining WestSpring where she is now and thoroughly enjoying it. Fiona begins by asking Emma about her time at school and her childhood. Emma explains that she spent her childhood years in Portsmouth with her mum. She then moved to Slough for her dad's work and grew up in the most deprived area of Slough. Emma says she did well at school, but it was about working hard for her rather than ‘brains.' She's the eldest of six and learned very early that she had to contribute. She left home at sixteen and actually always wanted to be a teacher but she couldn't find work experience and actually ended up working in a mobile phone shop. She absolutely loved the experience and was offered a ‘Saturday job' at the end of it. She eventually found an apprenticeship in administration with a brilliant mentor, which is something she feels is incredibly important in life and business. Emma really touches upon her childhood in poverty and explains how money as an adult became a sense of security. She was told that sales was the easiest way to earn money and that's what she did. She always worked hard and wanted to build good relationships with people. She feels it was later in her career at Yellow Pages that she learned good relationships equals good sales and began to understand the world of business more. Fiona then goes on to ask Emma if she's a ‘tech geek' and Emma laughs in response, saying ‘no!' She feels because she went from advertising to waste disposal and then to IT doesn't feel like that. For her, management and leadership skills are what got her to where she is today. Emma says she liked to make the ‘tech' world sound human, and this is something she strives to do in her business. Fiona asks Emma to tell listeners about the company WestSpring and what she feels she has brought to the table. Emma explains that they had been around for 8 or 9 years when she joined. It was created by two amazing founders, Jason and Phil, and they started with a credit card around a kitchen table. They had seen the poor way that some MSPs had treated their clients, and they wanted to change this. They took on Emma as CEO because they felt they had taken the business as far as they could but didn't have the skill about how to grow at scale. They'd focused so hard on winning any client without finding consistency and stability to enable the business to grow. Fiona then goes on to ask Emma about why she always valued media outreach, especially during her days at Excalibur, when Fiona and Emma met. Emma says that PR and media activity helps to form trust in the relationship before it's even needed. For example, if someone was to hear her talking on the radio or a podcast, the person would get a real representation of who she is as a person and what she stands for. She feels this helps the person to make decisions before even picking up the phone or emailing. The PR and the media bit is really important. However, she does touch on her earlier days, when she used to be afraid that people would be intimidated by her and her reputation. But now, Emma feels she owns this in her everyday life and the people known to her, realise that she does this with care and isn't afraid to have difficult conversations. Fiona also talks about how she sees similar traits in herself to Emma and that they can't ‘not be themselves.' Fiona discusses with Emma how when she worked at Excalibur, she used PR to show how important and valued their team members were. Emma explains this because they had a lot of competition with bigger companies in Swindon and they found recruitment difficult, so they needed to prove to people why working for them was the best decision. The PR really allowed them to share that ethos and culture with others.  Fiona asks Emma what her biggest challenges have been so far as the CEO of WestSpring. Emma says the first was working with the founders can be very different because they struggle to give up an element of control to someone new. Secondly, some of the people found the change hard, especially when they needed to implement new structures into the company. Fiona goes on to ask Emma how she's going to tackle the challenge of keeping the small business intimate feel while allowing the company to grow. Emma says that has been a challenge over the last 6 months. They've also had to think hard about what growth means to them in their company. Emma says they've found that growth for them is sustainable growth by winning the right types of clients, not just any clients and if they're aware of what their forecast and pipeline looks like so that they can schedule recruitment and plan resources that might be needed and find partnerships and clients to support them on that growth journey. Fiona notes how Emma has always been committed to personal development and self-awareness. Emma talks about how much of this comes from the mentors she had in the past. She says James Phipps was a massive help in the early stages of her career because he signed her up to a group called Vistage which puts you around a table with other senior leaders of businesses and you have a safe space to share what's going on in your business and gives you the chance to see some great speakers. She talks about how important networking is and that socialising with others who are also CEOs and founders' means they understand the pressures you have to face every day.Fiona asks Emma, ‘When you started at WestSpring, you contacted me quite soon... why?' Emma says “as a board that it was really important to start making sure that people knew who we were straight away. We'd done well at making some relationships, but we had to tackle the idea of making sure people knew that PR isn't the same as selling. We wanted people to understand who we are and our culture. We also felt that authenticity was important and Scott Media's reputation preceded you with other clients and we had great references. We needed a mentor who was honest, would be up front and wasn't afraid to give feedback.”The two then go on to discuss a moment while Fiona was in Canada earlier this year and an opportunity on TV and radio came up for Emma to talk about working from home. Emma was able to give a different viewpoint to this as she values working in the office and she talks about the importance of such opportunities and taking them when they arise. Fiona then asks Emma what her take is on AI. Emma says that AI gives an element of automation and productivity gains that doesn't replace people. Creativity comes from humans and that can't be replaced but AI can be used well as a tool in business. She feels everyone's opinion of AI is different, but it may help to save time in certain cases or to help with organisational tasks. Emma also talks about her friends who are artists and musicians who have had their work stolen by AI. She feels this is a huge problem in today's society. There is a moral side that doesn't like the environmental impact of it but for businesses it can be helpful to use. She says for business owners they have to decide what their use of AI is like for them and how does it suit them individually. Emma says the best thing about AI for many businesses is the efficiency it brings to the table. You can contact Emma on usual social media channels under ‘WestSpring IT' and on LinkedIn or email emmacarter@westspring-IT.co.uk.

Two conversations connecting the ground-level work of organizing to the political moment that makes it possible — one tracing the first wall-to-wall unionization of an American opera company in more than 40 years and one taking the temperature of Ohio workers heading into a November election that could determine whether any of it gets easier. Adam Da Ros, a member of both the organizing and negotiating committees for the American Guild of Musical Artists, discusses the Opera Colorado campaign from its first conversations in April 2023, through management's refusal to voluntarily recognize the union, through an NLRB hearing where management argued the chorus were volunteers rather than employees, to a November 2023 election that came back 91 to 8 in favor of AGMA. The new collective bargaining agreement raises the chorus minimum from approximately $500 per production for schedules of 100-plus hours to $21.50 per hour, establishes new minimum compensation with a 5% increase in year two and 3% in year three, brings previously unpaid preparation time and costume fittings into compensated hours and includes the artist-in-residence program under the AGMA umbrella. Da Ros said it is the first wall-to-wall opera company unionization in more than 40 years, and he hopes it inspires other performing arts groups to do the same. Then, Ohio AFL-CIO President Tim Burga reports on Labor Day events from Lorain to Portsmouth and Youngstown to Cincinnati, where he found consistent energy and political frustration among workers who are not seeing their elected leaders address wages, childcare, rent, groceries or utilities. He previews the Ohio AFL-CIO biennial convention September 21 through 23 in Columbus — 140 years after the AFL was founded in that city — featuring guest speakers Dr. Amy Acton, Sherrod Brown and IUPAT International President Jimmy Williams Jr. and serving as the launch point for the Labor 2026 voter mobilization program. He addresses the Policy Matters Ohio report finding that lawmakers have allowed and in some ways created an economy where working people cannot get ahead and frames November as a choice between validating that direction or starting a new day.

Tasked with reviewing the events of Pompey's goalless draw with Charlton Athletic at The Valley is Jake Smith, Mark Magee and Reece Hawkins. The rest of the action from the latest round of Championship fixtures is also discussed, including news of the division's first managerial sacking and the prospect of Southampton boss Tonda Eckert not being in the dugout for next month's South Coast Derby at St Mary's.

We don't know how to talk about death.Longtime Seacoast resident Laura Cleminson wants to change that.At the Pre-Dead Social Club, Seacoast residents of all ages gather monthly for a "die-a-logue" at author talks, panel discussions, and Death Over Drinks, the club's signature event.Cleminson, who also delivered a TEDx Portsmouth talk in 2024, became fascinated with death a decade ago when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. She noticed she had no tools for helping her mother through that time, a realization that eventually led her to become a death doula and the founder of the Pre-Dead Social Club.From the West End of Portsmouth, Cleminson joins host Troy Farkas for a wide-ranging discussion about death - why we avoid it, her first experiences with it, how to better help our loved ones during that time, how the Pre-Dead Social Club has taken off in the last three years, and why it's welcomed nearly 1,200 people through its doors since then.To learn more about the Pre-Dead Social Club, visit predeadsocialclub.com.SUPPORT SEACOAST STORIES:Follow Seacoast Stories on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get our new episodes every week.Join our FREE online community, ⁠⁠⁠The Local Thread⁠⁠⁠, hereUPCOMING EVENTS:Time 4 Joy hosted by I Got Bridged: Friday, September 18 at the Portsmouth Elks Lodge.

Rysk-japanska kriget 1904–1905 är för många i dag en relativt okänd konflikt, trots att det i sin samtid uppfattades som ett av de mest betydelsefulla krigen sedan Napoleonkrigen. Japans seger väckte enorm uppmärksamhet världen över. En asiatisk stat hade besegrat en europeisk stormakt i ett modernt storkrig och därmed rubbat föreställningar om den europeiska militärens självklara överlägsenhet.Japan hade sedan Meijirestaurationen 1868 genomgått en snabb politisk, industriell och militär modernisering. Nu visade landet vad denna omvandling hade åstadkommit både på land och till sjöss. Efter hårda strider i Manchuriet och belägringen av Port Arthur kom det avgörande sjöslaget vid Tsushima i maj 1905, där den japanska flottan i praktiken krossade den ryska 2:a Stillahavseskadern, som huvudsakligen hade sänts från Östersjön.För Ryssland blev nederlaget en svår prestigeförlust. Samtidigt skakades tsarväldet av den revolutionära oro som kulminerade under 1905 och som krigets motgångar bidrog till att förstärka.I avsnitt 49 av Militärhistoriepodden tar sig idéhistorikern Peter Bennesved och historikern Martin Hårdstedt an rysk-japanska kriget och dess betydelse för 1900-talets militära och politiska utveckling.Kriget har ofta beskrivits som en föregångare till första världskriget. Det var ett tidigt exempel på industriell krigföring i stor skala. Under belägringen av Port Arthur mötte anfallande soldater skyttegravar, taggtråd, kulsprutor och tungt artilleri – företeelser som senare skulle komma att prägla västfronten under första världskriget. Även sjökriget gav en föraning om framtidens konflikter. Moderna slagskepp spelade huvudrollen, samtidigt som torpedbåtar och sjöminor fick stor betydelse. Vapnen var inte nya, men rysk-japanska kriget visade tydligt vilken effekt de kunde få i ett modernt sjökrig.Mest känt är slaget vid Tsushima den 27–28 maj 1905. Under amiral Heihachirō Tōgō besegrade den japanska flottan den ryska eskadern genom bättre beredskap, effektiv eldgivning och skicklig manövrering. Bara ett fåtal ryska fartyg lyckades nå Vladivostok. Trots segern fick Japan också erfara att en militär triumf inte nödvändigtvis gav alla de politiska vinster som befolkningen väntade sig. I freden i Portsmouth erkändes Japans starka ställning i Korea, landet övertog ryska rättigheter kring Port Arthur och södra Manchuriska järnvägen och fick den södra delen av Sachalin. Däremot fick Japan inget krigsskadestånd, vilket utlöste omfattande protester och upplopp i Tokyo. Rysk-japanska kriget innebar därmed inte bara slutet på en konflikt utan början på en ny maktordning i Östasien. Japan hade etablerat sig som stormakt, men motsättningarna kring landets växande inflytande i Korea, Manchuriet och Kina skulle fortsätta att skärpas under de följande årtiondena. Tillsammans med Japans fortsatta expansion och de växande motsättningarna till USA bidrog denna utveckling så småningom till den konflikt som kulminerade i Stillahavskriget och anfallet mot Pearl Harbor 1941.

This week, Marina and Jem start in America — where Trump calls 18 dead soldiers "small potatoes," posts AI-generated videos of himself beating world leaders with a hockey stick, and explains trade to a room of adults too scared to tell him he's wrong. Rinse, repeat, somehow getting worse.Then they come home to Blighty — where things are going brilliantly. Hundreds of men in matching black balaclavas staged two days of (NOT) spontaneous protests in Dover and Portsmouth, injuring police, blocking ferries, and terrifying British families trying to get into town. Arrests: none. Funny that — almost like if you'd been a blind OAP or a vicar protesting for peace, they'd have found the handcuffs. Also: a coachload of Pakistani cricketers gets surrounded by a brainless mob, the RNLI gets grief for not letting people drown, and Nick Ferrari has some thoughts.

Bacteria that eat plastic sounds like the fix everyone's been waiting for, and Andrew gets sent videos about it constantly. So on this solo episode, following Monday's interview with Dr. Anja Brandon of Ocean Conservancy, he goes looking for the real state of the science. The short version: it's promising, it's roughly a decade of real research deep, and it is nowhere close to running at the scale the ocean plastic crisis actually needs. The bacterium that started this whole field, Ideonella sakaiensis, was discovered breaking down PET plastic in Japan in 2016. A 2025 breakthrough from NREL, UMass Lowell, and the University of Portsmouth engineered an improved PET-degrading enzyme that cut chemical use by more than 99%, running costs by 74%, and energy use by 65%, modeling out to a cost that actually undercuts virgin plastic. It's a genuinely exciting result. It's also still lab-stage, with no commercial plant running it yet. Carbios, the French company furthest along at trying to bring enzymatic PET recycling to industrial scale, is proof of just how hard that jump is: its flagship French plant is delayed, its cash reserves have been cut by more than a third, it slashed 40% of its workforce, and it's now pivoting toward a joint venture in China that's faced its own shareholder disputes. Then there's the other technology people call "plastic-eating," chemical recycling through pyrolysis, which isn't biological at all. It's plastic melted down with extreme heat back into oil and gas, currently handling under 1.3% of US plastic waste according to advocacy group Beyond Plastics, regulated by the EPA as a form of incineration (a classification the agency is actively trying to change as of this year), and excluded from the EU's own definition of recycling entirely. Andrew lays out where the real hope sits, where the hype outruns the evidence, and why reduce, reuse, and refuse still does more for the ocean than any of this, at least for now. Takeaways: The bacterium behind the "plastic-eating bacteria" field, Ideonella sakaiensis, was discovered in Japan in 2016, and the research is real but still roughly a decade from meaningful commercial scale. A 2025 enzyme breakthrough from NREL, UMass Lowell, and the University of Portsmouth models out to costs that undercut virgin plastic, but it's a lab and modeling result, not a running commercial plant. Carbios, the company furthest along at industrial-scale enzymatic PET recycling, still can't get its flagship French plant operational and is now pivoting toward a contested joint venture in China. Chemical recycling (pyrolysis) is a separate, non-biological technology that melts plastic down with heat, currently handles under 1.3% of US plastic waste, and is regulated by the EPA as incineration, a classification the agency is actively trying to change in 2026. Advocacy group Beyond Plastics found pyrolysis facility emissions can run 10 to 100 times higher than making virgin plastic, and that multiple US pyrolysis facilities have already shut down or gone bankrupt. None of these technologies are close to solving ocean plastic pollution at scale right now; reducing single-use plastics at the source still does more, and that requires government leadership, not just individual habit changes.

BURNHAM & MILIBAND ARE SO OUT OF TOUCH WITH UK THEY'RE DANGEROUS!  #AndyBurnham #EdMiliband #Labour #UKPolitics #Israel #Gaza ##JonGaunt #JonGauntTV  What planet are Andy Burnham and Ed Miliband living on?!  Britain has a border crisis. People are furious about illegal migration. We have protests and growing anger over what's happening in places like Dover and Portsmouth. Families are still being hammered by the cost of living. So what do Burnham and Miliband apparently think Britain needs right now? A FIGHT WITH ISRAEL!  Instead of concentrating relentlessly on our borders, illegal migration, law and order and the cost of living, they want to make Israel another huge political battleground. How does THAT make your food cheaper? How does THAT bring your energy bills down? How does THAT control our borders? How does THAT stop the boats? And what could damaging relations with an important security partner ultimately do to Britain's own security?  This is exactly what drives ordinary working people mad about modern politics. PERFORMATIVE POLITICS. GESTURES. POSTURING. EVERYTHING EXCEPT DEALING WITH THE PROBLEMS PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY WORRIED ABOUT. Instead, once again, Labour politicians appear more interested in satisfying pressure from their own political flank over Gaza and Israel. Meanwhile the boats keep coming and ordinary people keep paying the bill. GET YOUR PRIORITIES RIGHT!

Far-right activists gathered in two disruptive demonstrations in Dover and Portsmouth over the weekend, attempting to obstruct asylum seekers arriving on small boats from France. Many wore all black and balaclavas. The action was seemingly organised by Daniel Thomas, an agitator better known as Danny Tommo, who has close ties with the far-right extremist Tommy Robinson. Thomas was recorded on the ground saying Portsmouth was now ‘ground zero' for small boat crossings, and has threatened further action.

Carl, Firas, and Luca discuss the Portsmouth protest, the AfD's historic victory, and how leftists attacked the March for Life.

Lee Trundle and Nia Jones join Carl Roberts on the sofa this week to consider whether Swansea City or Wrexham would have been most satisfied with the goalless draw at the Swansea.com Stadium. It certainly wasn't a classic, and the lack of intensity went some way to justify pre-match comments that this shouldn't be classed as a derby. There was one hefty challenge, though. Was Ben Cabango lucky to escape a red card?Cardiff City remain winless after a defeat in Portsmouth, and an off the field altercation between centre back Krystian Bielik and a home supporter has given manager Brian Barry-Murphy another headache. With a police investigation ongoing, Bielik could be looking at a lengthy ban.And after some incredulous admissions from former referee Mike Dean, Lee's memory is tested when asked to remember when the former Premier League official left his mark in a Swansea game.

BURNHAM: WE ARE NOT THUGS! YOU ARE A COWARD — LISTEN TO BRITAIN! #AndyBurnham #Portsmouth #StopTheBoats #BorderCrisis #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV  NO ARRESTS! NOT ONE! SO STOP CALLING ORDINARY BRITS THUGS! After the extraordinary scenes in Portsmouth last night, Andy Burnham and his Government have done what this political class ALWAYS does. They blame YOU. They lecture YOU. They demonise YOU. Instead of asking why ordinary British people are so bloody angry, they reach for the insults — "thugs", "intimidating", the usual establishment rubbish designed to shut down debate. Well, I've got a message for Burnham tonight: WE ARE NOT THUGS. WE ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. START LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE WHO PAY YOUR WAGES! And here's the fact they can't brush aside: THERE WERE NO ARRESTS LAST NIGHT. If the police have evidence that an individual committed an offence, investigate them and deal with them. Simple. But don't smear an entire protest because you don't like its message. The message from Portsmouth was one we've heard across Britain: STOP THE BOATS! SECURE OUR BORDERS! PUT BRITISH PEOPLE FIRST! How many prime ministers, home secretaries and governments have promised to sort this mess out? And what have we got? More excuses. More spin. More lectures. And more politicians apparently incapable of understanding the anger outside the Westminster bubble.  Burnham was supposed to be different. Different? He sounds more like Starmer every bloody day! The British working class has had enough of being talked down to by politicians who expect their votes and taxes but don't appear interested in listening to what they're saying.  Tonight I'm asking: WHO ARE THE REAL THUGS? The people demanding secure borders? Or a political establishment that repeatedly promises action and then fails to deliver? Britain is angry. Portsmouth showed it again last night. Burnham can either start LISTENING to that anger — or carry on demonising the people expressing it. Because continually ignoring millions of people and treating legitimate anger with contempt is a dangerous road for this country. I WANT YOUR VIEWS — AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO HOLD BACK!

So, will we now see more similar demonstrations? And what can the police do?Gareth Barlow is joined by Sky's Data and Forensics correspondent Tom Cheshire.Have you got a question for This is Why?

"Boo hoo". That was the reaction from Robert Jenrick, who wants to be Reform's Chancellor, to the videos showing a female heckler having her hair pulled and being beaten with a stick by Reform delegates at the party's conference in Birmingham. Lee Anderson has suggested a whip round for a new walking stick for one of the supporters involved.Reform is quick to point to the deluge of threats Nigel Farage faces - so why won't the party condemn political violence when it is carried out by its own supporters?Later, a new group - Patriot Platform - caused chaos in Dover and Portsmouth this weekend, mixing anti-migrant protest with direct action and intimidation, wearing balaclavas and stopping traffic. Who are they?

"Important Three Points" with Patch, Matt and Ryan Richardson.

This week, former Manchester United, Sheffield United and Portsmouth striker Danny Webber submits three stories from his football career. Did Webber really install security cameras and fingerprint entry access to join an exclusive Sheffield United dressing room society? Did former Chelsea manager Avram Grant nickname him "World Wide Webber" after being impressed by his football knowledge? Or did Neil Warnock leave a voicemail pleading with him to ignore his reputation and sign for Sheffield United? Armed with photographs, football knowledge and plenty of suspicion, Karel and Anita investigate every claim before Webber returns to reveal the truth. Karel Prince: Lie Detector is presented by Karel Prince and Anita Abayomi and is a Sport Social Studios production for BBC Sounds.
