The Global Commission on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking has issued a "wake-up call" to the world to act on what they deem "one of the most pervasive human rights issues of our time." The report makes several recommendations specifically for women and girls who make up 54% of the estimated 50 million people trapped in slavery around the world. They are more frequently targeted for forced marriage, sexual exploitation, and domestic labour. Nearly one in four victims are children. To discuss the topic Nuala McGovern is joined by the former Prime Minister, Baroness Theresa May and Nasreen Sheikh, who is a survivor of modern slavery.As the Six Nations passes the half way mark we speak to fans from each of the four nations to discuss their teams.

With so much attention on Donald Trump and the trade war, it's easy to forget about the other crisis facing Canada today: Housing affordability. All three major federal parties are pledging billions of dollars in their housing platforms. But are these plans ambitious enough to meet the moment? A group of industry associations and advocacy organizations have come together to form the Canada Housing Coalition. They have a blueprint for the next federal government's housing policy. For whoever ends up as Canada's next Prime Minister, solving the housing crisis will be a monumental task. Host David Smith speaks with Tim Richter, CEO of the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness, about what's at stake in this election for Canadians dreaming of an affordable place to call home.We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

The Prime Minister faces many questions about the costing of AUKUS and tariffs by US President Donald Trump; the Coalition has announced it would roll back multi-billion-dollar penalties under Labor's efficiency standards: and, in sport, Melbourne United have bolstered their side with the addition of NBL title winner, Fabijan Krslovic, as part of a two-year deal.

After months of public protest and coalition infighting, the contentious Treaty Principles Bill has finally reached the end of its road - voted down at a heated second hearing. The Prime Minister said now it is time to move on - but ACT's leader David Seymour is refusing to accept that the fight is over. Deputy political editor Craig McCulloch has more.

Day 12 of the federal election campaign was again overshadowed by trade tensions between the US and China. In Queensland, the Prime Minister pledged funding for school children to visit the Great Barrier Reef. And the Opposition Leader promoted his policy to cut net overseas migration, in Melbourne.

Who leads Australia isn't decided by one, big popular vote. It's countless close contests across the country that eventually determine who can form government, and who will be the Prime Minister. This week, we're looking at the players in Australia's 2025 federal election – who is going to be a big deal, what's going on with minor parties, what electorates matter, and will the teal wave continue or be washed out to sea?

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, most tariff coverage reflects the views of Washington, D.C., or New York, overlooking fishermen, ranchers, and farmers who applaud the tariffs—a clear sign of the media's government and urban bias. Trump's talent as a dealmaker is perpetually underestimated. Additionally, it's fortunate that four Supreme Court justices remain steadfast. No delegate or ratifier of the Constitution would have endorsed a document allowing a single judge, like Judge Boasberg, to wield power in such a manner. Also, the Israeli Supreme Court decided to freeze the firing of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar until further notice. This court is disregarding the sovereignty of the people, using Stalinist tactics to undermine the elected Prime Minister, and being supported by Marxist-Islamist protesters and a radical media, all while posing as justices. This is a global embarrassment. Later, Retired Police Lieutenant Douglas Deaton calls in to explain that he warned Texas officials about the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) establishing a Sharia-compliant "mega-city" near Dallas. His testimony during a Collin County Commissioners Court hearing exposed EPIC's ties to Sharia advocacy, prompting Texas Governor Greg Abbott to order state investigations, including a Texas Rangers criminal probe. Afterward, Iran's fanatical fundamentalist Islamists have threatened our country with death again and again. Those who appease Iran, smear those who are clearheaded about Iran, and lie to the American people about what is truly at stake are the worst kind of demagogues -- mouthpieces for an enemy that has declared its intentions. Iran's leaders are the warmongers and those who lie for them are warmongers as well. Finally, Douglas Murray calls in to discuss his new book: On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

For years, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has been framing the federal race as a “carbon tax election.” But then Mark Carney became the Liberal Leader and Prime Minister and “axed the tax” for him, setting the consumer carbon price to zero.Now, Poilievre is targeting another federal carbon tax – the one on the industry's largest emitters. It's part of a broader shift in this election toward energy sovereignty. Against the backdrop of U.S. President Donald Trump's ongoing threats to Canada's economy, there's been a surge in public and political support for domestic oil and gas projects.Today, The Globe's Adam Radwanski, a columnist who covers climate policy, is on the show. He'll walk us through the ongoing political fight over carbon pricing, why we're suddenly seeing more support for pipelines, and the cost of slowing Canada's efforts against climate change.Questions?

Robert Greene is a globally renowned author and thinker best known for his groundbreaking books on power, strategy, and human behavior, including the international bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, and Mastery. But before becoming a literary icon, Robert struggled through decades of uncertainty—working over 50 different jobs, battling self-doubt, and feeling lost in his 30s. It wasn't until age 37, after years of rejection and frustration, that his life changed with the release of The 48 Laws of Power, a book that would go on to sell millions of copies and influence everyone from CEOs to world leaders and hip-hop legends. In this episode, Robert opens up about the real pain behind his rise, the dangerous truths about power, and the deeply human experiences that shaped his work.Timestamps:00:00 – Intro and Robert's Get Rich or Die Trying Moment06:25 – 50 Jobs, Self-Doubt, and a Dream to Write13:37 – Suicidal Thoughts and The Emotional Cost of Unfulfilled Potential25:11 – How to Become Powerful and Master Relationships35:54 – Why You Shouldn't Follow All 48 Laws—and Who Actually Did48:49 – Surreal Moments, Paparazzi, and the Prime Minister of ItalyResources:Robert's InstagramRobert's WebsiteSneak Peak of Robert's New Book, The Law of the SublimeWant to Connect?

Recorded: 4-7-2025 On this edition of Parallax Views, journalist James M. Dorsey of the Turbulent World w/ James M. Dorsey Substack returns for another Middle East update. In this conversation we go over the visit Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is making to Washington D.C. to meet U.S. President Donald Trump. The visit will reportedly entail discussion focused on Israeli hostages in Gaza as well as U.S. tariffs. This comes on the heels of Netanyahu facing re-emerging politically turmoil domestically Israel. Netanyahu is complaining more and more of a "leftist deep state" in Israel and the U.S (see also: this report from The Times of Israel). Additionally, hundreds of thousands are fleeing the southern Gazan city of Rafah due to airstrikes and a deadly assault on medics in Gaza. Israel has had to walk back its account of how the assault on those medics happened as video of it has emerged. We'll be discussing all of this on the show as well as the relationship between Trump and the Gulf States, specifically Saudi Arabia and the UAE. What does this mean for Israel (and the Palestinians)? We'll discuss what leverage the Saudis may have in regard to what happens next in Gaza. We'll also discuss Turkey-Israel relations and Syria. And, of course, Iran will play into the discussion. And we'll delve into the rise of civilization-states, the difference between nation-states vs. civilizational states, and the battle of narratives between Israelis and Palestinians. All that and much more on this edition of Parallax Views w/ J.G. Michael!

And he identified one man in particular who the Prime Minister claimed was costing the country its future. But maybe he's saving it?

We're a few weeks into a federal election that is currently too close to call. And while most Canadians are wondering who our next Prime Minister will be, my guests today are preoccupied with a different question: will this election be free and fair?In her recent report on foreign interference, Justice Marie-Josée Hogue wrote that “information manipulation poses the single biggest risk to our democracy”. Meanwhile, senior Canadian intelligence officials are predicting that India, China, Pakistan and Russia will all attempt to influence the outcome of this election. To try and get a sense of what we're up against, I wanted to get two different perspectives on this. My colleague Aengus Bridgman is the Director of the Media Ecosystem Observatory, a project that we run together at McGill University, and Nina Jankocwicz is the co-founder and CEO of the American Sunlight Project. Together, they are two of the leading authorities on the problem of information manipulation.Mentioned:“Public Inquiry Into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions,” by the Honourable Marie-Josée Hogue"A Pro-Russia Content Network Foreshadows the Automated Future of Info Ops,” by the American Sunlight ProjectFurther Reading:“Report ties Romanian liberals to TikTok campaign that fueled pro-Russia candidate,” by Victor Goury-Laffont (Politico)“2025 Federal Election Monitoring and Response,” by the Canadian Digital Media Research Network“Election threats watchdog detects Beijing effort to influence Chinese Canadians on Carney,” by Steven Chase (Globe & Mail)“The revelations and events that led to the foreign-interference inquiry,” by Steven Chase and Robert Fife (Globe & Mail)“Foreign interference inquiry finds ‘problematic' conduct,” by The Decibel

Support the podcast! Buy us a coffee☕: https://buymeacoffee.com/2njb *** Not long ago, the biggest story in Israel was the tidal wave of protests against the government's proposed judicial reforms. Week after week, hundreds of thousands flooded the streets, warning that the very foundations of Israeli democracy were under threat. The demonstrations reflected a moment of bitter internal division. Then came October 7th—and everything changed. The country shifted overnight from bitter internal division to all-out war. But while the fighting continues and the hostages remain in Gaza, the internal battles are slowly resurfacing—this time, with even higher stakes. In the latest twist, Prime Minister Netanyahu fired Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar. Now, he's in the process of interviewing replacements. By law, the Prime Minister can fire the head of the Shin Bet with the government's approval—but that hasn't stopped the Attorney General and the Supreme Court from stepping in with objections. For many Israelis, this isn't just a legal question—it's a test of who really holds power in the country. And for those who watched the judicial reform protests with concern, it's a reminder that the battle over Israel's institutions is far from over. To help us unpack all of this, we're joined by Professor Talia Einhorn—a leading expert on Israeli constitutional law. She's a member of the Advisory Committee on Senior Civil Service Appointments and a titular member of the International Academy of Comparative Law. She's held academic posts at Ariel University, Tel Aviv University, and institutions around the world, and she holds many other distinctions in the legal field. Today, she's here to walk us through the legal drama, the deeper power struggle, and what it all means for Israel's future. We're thrilled to be joined today by professor Talia Einhorn.

This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal, and Manisha Pande are joined by The News Minute's Sudipto Mondal and Supreme Court lawyer Talha Abdul Rahman.On the controversial Waqf Amendment Bill, passed in Parliament this week after long fiery debates, Talha says: “Every Waqf that is now created will have to register themselves with the central depository.” He adds that the statute is “a translation of a WhatsApp forward.”Sudipto questions the motivation behind bringing in the legislation and the manner in which it will be used. He says that the new bill will now “weaponise” bulldozer demolitions, which are increasingly becoming the norm. Manisha puts focus on the misinformation being spread in mainstream media about the bill. She mentions one anchor claiming that the new bill will ensure “no one can stop the Prime Minister's plane from taking off because Waqf can no longer claim the airport.”The panel also discusses the student protests in University of Hyderabad against tree felling on 400 acres of forest land. Commenting on the Supreme Court taking suo-moto cognizance of the case, Sudipto says, “It's a great victory for people's movements, students' movements.” This and a lot more.

Say it with us now: it's not just Slitheen fart jokes. Aliens of London/World War Three is the Ecclestone-Piper powerhouse that firmly established how NuWho would grow beyond the old-school kind of Earth invasion.

This was a rich and deep conversation with Sir Maarten Wevers who shared about his life journey on this episode of seeds podcast.  From being born in the Netherlands to moving to New Zealand with his family age 1, growing up with different cultural influences and then how he got into the diplomatic world, travelling the World, his learning Japanese to serve as Ambassador to Japan and then working with multiple Prime Ministers through pivotal moments in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s.  From 1985 to 1987 he was private secretary to then Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, David Lange.  He was also the Chief Executive of the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet from 2004-2012.  He has been involved in a lot more including currently as deputy Chair of the Fred Hollows Foundation.   We really do cover a lot in this conversation and I learned so much from his life and the stories he told.  I hope you enjoy it - if you do, why not post the link to it and tag me in so I can like and comment and it will benefit your networks too.   Thanks to Craig Fisher for suggesting this conversation as well!

There were so many entries by you for the answer to this question that it will likely fill three episodes of Your Turn.  What you expect of the parties and their leaders as the campaign countdown continues.  Plus the Random Ranter and his thoughts for this week.

For Haaretz columnist Amir Tibon, the renewed fighting in Israel with hostages still in captivity, as scandal unfolds around Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, represents a “nightmare scenario.” Speaking on the Haaretz Podcast, Tibon reviewed the turbulent events of the past week with host Allison Kaplan Sommer – from the arrest of two of Netanyahu’s top aides in the deepening Qatargate affair and the questioning of the prime minister himself, to the botched attempt to replace embattled Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar. Tibon pointed to the fact after the two-month reprieve of a cease-fire and hostage release in the first stage of the deal that Netanyahu subsequently abandoned, “we now find ourselves with 59 Israeli hostages held by Hamas in the tunnels of Gaza; Israeli troops on the ground; rockets are being fired at northern, southern and central Israel. And instead of dealing with the security needs of the country, we have a prime minister who is running from court to the police investigation. If I had written this three years ago in Haaretz as a scenario of what will happen under Netanyahu, everybody would have dismissed it as hateful anti-Bibi material – a nightmare scenario that will never come true. But this is what is happening right now." Tibon added that Netanyahu’s lightning-quick reversal of his decision to appoint former naval commander Eli Sharvit as Shin Bet director was driven by “dissatisfaction” with his choice by the far-right wing of his own Likud party. The Prime Minister attributing the flip-flop to pressure from the Trump administration, he said, was “an absolute lie.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John's monologue this time is a mixed bag of stories. He talks about ICE's illegal arrest of Tufts University PhD grad student Rumeysa Ozturk; Utah's governor Spencer Cox turning a blind eye to his state banning LGBTQ pride flags; Trump's so-called "Liberation Day" - April 2nd when reciprocal tariffs (in addition to others like car parts) are set to go into effect; the never-ending excuses from the GOP over the Signalgate debacle; and Trump backing down on his Canadian badmouthing after the new Prime Minister of Canada - Mark Carney - sets the tone and draws the line on Trump's bullying. Then, comedians Natalia Reagan and TV's Frank Conniff are back and they joke around with John and listeners about pop culture, current news, and the latest mishigas from Trump and company.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
