This week, the guys discuss one thing Canada doesn't do well at all.... reggae. Specifically, the song Rude by Magic! This song was everywhere and it was very bad. A whiny guy asking for his girlfriend's fathers blessing only to tell him to eat shit when he doesn't get it? Quit wasting our time.
What, exactly, is an ultra-processed food? Proposals about, and FDA may be weighing in. But figuring out what a definition should and shouldn't cover is a difficult task, said Chad Galer, vice president of product innovation and food safety for Dairy Management Inc. “I think it's a risk that it might be a bit oversimplified,” said Galer, who worked for 16 years at Kraft Foods before joining DMI. “It should be more of a matrixed approach where you are balancing the nutrition and the processing.” Galer discusses some of the health benefits of dairy products that can be affected by differing ultraprocessed definitions, including flavored yogurt and cheese.
The Chinese government this week unveiled a new vision for the emerging post-American-led international order. In a new white paper, Beijing argued that the existing global system does not need to be replaced or rebuilt. Instead, it called for the United Nations to remain at the center of global governance while giving developing countries a greater voice in international decision-making. Eric and Cobus discuss China's push for global governance reform and why many African countries are backing Beijing's position. Plus, Kenya becomes the latest front in the contest between China and Taiwan after Nairobi acquiesced to Beijing's pressure and blocked Taiwanese delegates from attending an oceans forum in Mombasa.

China has released a new white paper titled "More Just and Equitable Global Governance: China's Principles, Proposals and Actions," offering its latest vision for improving global governance. The document expands on the Global Governance Initiative, proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping, and outlines China's ideas for creating a fairer, more inclusive international system. Why is Beijing releasing this white paper now? What are its key proposals? How does it connect with China's broader vision for the future of global governance?
China's State Council Information Office on Wednesday released a white paper titled "More Just and Equitable Global Governance: China's Principles, Proposals and Actions" (full text).星期三,国务院新闻办公室发布题为《推进全球治理朝着更加公正合理的方向发展:中国的主张、方案与行动》的白皮书(全文)。The white paper was published to introduce China's principles, proposals and actions on global governance, foster broader consensus within the international community, ensure more effective responses to global challenges, and build a more just and equitable global governance system.发布该白皮书,旨在介绍中国在全球治理领域秉持的原则、提出的主张以及开展的行动,推动国际社会凝聚更广泛共识,助力各国更有效地应对全球性挑战,推动构建更加公正合理的全球治理体系。Global governance is a common endeavor that bears on the well-being of all humanity, and building a just and equitable global governance system is a shared vision long pursued by people from across the world, the white paper said, adding that China has always been an active participant in, contributor to, and builder of global governance.白皮书指出,全球治理关乎全人类福祉,是全人类的共同事业,构建公正合理的全球治理体系是世界各国人民长久以来的共同追求。中国始终是全球治理的积极参与者、贡献者和建设者。In the new era, President Xi Jinping put forward the vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity. In promoting a global governance system characterized by extensive consultation and joint contribution for shared benefit, he has called for true multilateralism to foster an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, according to the white paper.白皮书提到,进入新时代,习近平主席提出构建人类命运共同体理念。在推动构建共商共建共享的全球治理体系过程中,习近平主席倡导践行真正的多边主义,推动建设平等有序的多极世界,以及普惠包容的经济全球化。In 2025, Xi proposed the Global Governance Initiative (GGI), which is designed to offer a Chinese solution to the two pressing questions of the era: what kind of global governance system should be established, and how global governance can be reformed and improved.2025年,习近平主席提出全球治理倡议。该倡议针对当今时代两大紧迫问题——应当构建何种全球治理体系、如何改革完善全球治理体系,给出了中国方案。Upon its introduction, the GGI swiftly gained support from nearly 160 countries and international organizations, with over 60 countries joining the Group of Friends of Global Governance. The international community believes that the GGI sends a clear signal: uphold multilateralism, unite forces, and pursue a fair future, the white paper said.白皮书表示,全球治理倡议一经提出,迅速得到近160个国家和国际组织的支持,已有60多个国家加入“全球治理之友”小组。国际社会认为,该倡议传递出鲜明信号:坚守多边主义、凝聚各方力量、共创公正未来。The GGI aligns with the growing trend towards greater democracy in international relations and bolsters international confidence in practicing multilateralism. It offers a clear and feasible roadmap for improving global governance, bringing valuable stability and positive energy to a turbulent world, according to the white paper.白皮书指出,全球治理倡议顺应国际关系民主化的发展大势,提振了国际社会践行多边主义的信心。它为完善全球治理勾勒出清晰可行的路线图,为动荡变革的世界注入了宝贵的稳定性与正能量。China has proposed the GGI to expedite the building of a more just and equitable global governance system. Resolutely upholding the UN's authority and status is fundamental to the effective implementation of this initiative, the white paper said.白皮书称,中国提出全球治理倡议,旨在加快推动全球治理体系朝着更加公正合理的方向发展。坚决维护联合国的权威与地位,是这一倡议落地见效的根本前提。Success will also hinge on major countries bearing a sense of responsibility, and on all nations uniting and cooperating to address deficits in peace and development. All countries should firmly uphold the international system with the UN at its core, safeguard the international order based on international law, and uphold the basic norms governing international relations underpinned by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, instead of reinventing the wheel, according to the white paper.白皮书强调,大国担当责任、各国团结合作、携手弥补和平与发展赤字,同样是倡议取得成效的关键。各国应坚定维护以联合国为核心的国际体系、以国际法为基础的国际秩序,恪守以《联合国宪章》宗旨和原则为根基的国际关系基本准则,切忌另起炉灶、重复折腾。Apart from the preface and conclusion, the white paper has five parts: "The World Today Faces Severe and Complex Challenges", "The Global Governance Initiative Responds to Challenges of Our Times", "China's Contribution to Promoting Global Governance", "Guiding the Direction of Change Towards a Bright Future", and "Moving Forward Hand in Hand at a Critical Juncture in History".该白皮书除前言和结语外,共分为五个部分,分别是《当今世界面临严峻复杂挑战》《全球治理倡议回应时代之问》《中国为推进全球治理作出贡献》《引领变革方向,共创美好未来》以及《立足历史关口,携手砥砺前行》。governance /ˈɡʌvənəns/治理;管理;统治equitable /ˈekwɪtəbl/公平合理的;公正的multilateralism /ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm/多边主义Multipolar /ˌmʌltiˈpəʊlə(r)/多极的;多极化的turbulent /ˈtɜːbjələnt/动荡的;混乱的;汹涌的preface /ˈprefəs/前言;序言;开场白
Each year WNYC hosts a "health convening," with support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, as an opportunity for healthcare experts and practitioners to inform WNYC's health reporting. This year, the topic is ultra-processed foods and how they affect our health. David Kessler, MD, former FDA Commissioner, breaks down a citizen petition he filed with the Food and Drug Administration last summer which would, among other things, declare that some of the core ingredients in ultra-processed foods were no longer “generally recognized as safe (GRAS)” -- a classification that means ingredients are exempt from strict premarket approval process.

Clare County Council has scrapped two of the most controversial elements of the Ennis 2040 Strategy from the County Development Plan. Proposals to build a boardwalk over the Ennis Post Office Field and a mixed-use commercial building at Abbey Street had been the subject of large local protests since 2023. The projects were officially paused by the Ennis 2040 DAC last year, before a proposed variation to the County Development Plan in March suggested removing them altogether. Elected representatives yesterday today voted in favour of the variation, which will also designate 250 sites and 1,200 acres for residential use countywide. Cora Hahessy from Save Ennis Town and Martin Vernon, Chairperson of the 'Hands Off Ennis Post Office Field' campaign, spoke to Alan Morrissey about the scrapping of these plans.

DESCRIPTION A Democratic congressional nominee's past associations are generating intense scrutiny after his primary victory. Tara examines allegations surrounding past connections, national security concerns, immigration politics, and what the controversy reveals about today's political landscape. SUMMARY A newly nominated Democratic congressional candidate is facing renewed examination of his past after winning a primary election. The discussion centers on reports regarding his previous association with controversial religious figures, alleged ties to organizations that were later designated as terrorist-affiliated entities, and statements concerning U.S. immigration and defense policies. Tara explores how these revelations have been received by voters, the media, and political opponents, while also highlighting broader debates about national security, immigration enforcement, military spending, and political double standards. The episode questions how candidates are vetted, why certain controversies gain attention while others do not, and what these developments could mean heading into the general election. TOP STORIES Congressional Candidate Under Intense Scrutiny A Democratic congressional nominee is facing renewed attention over aspects of his past. Reports regarding previous associations and activities have become a major campaign issue. Political opponents argue the information raises serious questions about judgment and ideology. National Security Concerns Take Center Stage The candidate's critics point to alleged past connections involving individuals and organizations linked to extremist activity. Debate continues over how much weight voters should place on historical associations. The controversy has quickly become a national political story. Immigration and Border Policy Debate The candidate's policy positions on immigration enforcement are drawing increased attention. Proposals involving federal immigration agencies have become a focal point of criticism. Supporters and opponents sharply disagree on the role of border enforcement in national policy. Military Spending and Foreign Policy Comments regarding defense spending and U.S. military priorities sparked additional debate. The discussion focused on competing visions for federal spending priorities. National security and defense policy remain major campaign issues. Media Coverage and Political Standards Questions emerged about how media organizations cover controversial candidates. Critics argue political standards are often applied inconsistently. The story has fueled broader conversations about accountability and transparency in elections. QUOTE OF THE DAY "The controversy isn't just about one candidate—it's about how voters evaluate character, judgment, and policy positions." TALKING POINTS ✅ How candidate backgrounds become campaign issues ✅ National security concerns in modern political campaigns ✅ The debate over immigration enforcement and border security ✅ Military spending versus domestic spending priorities ✅ Media coverage and political accountability SEO KEYWORDS Congressional Candidate Controversy, National Security, Immigration Policy, Border Security, Democratic Primary, Military Spending, Political Accountability, Election 2026, Congressional Race, Campaign Controversy

Chris chats with Liz Zenger, program manager of The Inklings Project, which provides resources for professors, teachers, and other groups developing Inklings-related courses. Also, by way of update, this just in from Liz herself: This is currently live for 6-12 teachers! Goes along with your second to last question of the podcast :-) Call for Proposals Inklings Project Fellowship for 6-12 Teachers Applications can be submitted via this link until Aug 1, 2026. For the first time in its history, the Inklings Project, under the University of Notre Dame's McGrath Institute for Church Life, is opening its fellowship to middle school and high school educators. Previous cohorts have drawn from college and university faculty; this new two-year cohort, beginning in Fall 2026, will be made up of those who educate in grades 6–12. Middle and high school is when many readers first encounter C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien—and where an educator's love for these authors can ripple outward to students, parents, and an entire school community. View the Call for Proposals or visit www.inklingsproject.org/apply for more information on the fellowship and application requirements. Applications can be submitted via this link until August 1, 2026. Among other things, we discuss: What The Inklings Project is (~0:53) — Liz explains the initiative: supporting faculty to create Inklings courses, providing grants, and building fellowship through a cohort model. The Wade Center at Wheaton College (~4:10) — The in-person annual gathering for fellows, housing original manuscripts, Tolkien's desk, Lewis's wardrobe, etc. Diverse faculty backgrounds (~6:30) — How professors from biology, business, public relations, and other non-literary fields are teaching Inklings courses, and why that breadth matters. The origin story of the project (~10:20) — Liz traces it from a CS Lewis course she took as a freshman at Brown, to founding a student society, to pitching the idea to Notre Dame's McGrath Institute. The challenge of reading loads & expanding to high schools (~17:30) — How professors handle the sheer volume of Inklings material, and the project's potential future cohort for high school and homeschool teachers. Next Week: At long last, The Silver Trumpet!
Negotiator and political analyst Daniel Levy examines the political frameworks, diplomatic initiatives and international mechanisms that have shaped recent developments in Gaza and the wider Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Arguing that humanitarian realities cannot be separated from political decisions, Levy explores how international diplomacy, ceasefire arrangements and institutional responses have influenced conditions on the ground and the prospects for Palestinian self-determination.The session explores:The relationship between humanitarian conditions in Gaza and international political decision-making.The development and implications of the post-war ceasefire framework and related diplomatic initiatives.The role of the United Nations Security Council and international institutions in shaping the current political landscape.The creation and function of the proposed "Board of Peace" governance structure.Questions of accountability, international law and the implementation of International Court of Justice rulings.International aid mechanisms, reconstruction efforts and donor frameworks relating to Gaza.Debates surrounding Palestinian governance, representation and future political structures.The future of UNRWA and broader efforts to reshape the international approach to Palestinian refugees.Proposals concerning international stabilisation forces, occupation and security arrangements.The geopolitical interests and international actors influencing developments in Palestine and the wider region.Levy argues that many of the political and diplomatic structures currently under discussion cannot be understood as neutral administrative arrangements, but instead reflect broader debates about sovereignty, accountability, self-determination and the future political status of Palestine.He examines the tensions between international legal frameworks and diplomatic initiatives, questioning whether current proposals adequately address Palestinian rights and political aspirations.The presentation concludes by considering the resilience of Palestinian society, the limitations of existing diplomatic approaches and the challenges facing those seeking a just and sustainable political settlement.Recorded at the Britain Palestine Project annual conference, Recognition is the Beginning, held at the Greenwood Theatre, London, on 2 June 2026.Daniel Levy is President of the US/Middle East Project (USMEP) and a former Israeli peace negotiator. He served as an adviser in the Israeli Prime Minister's Office and participated in peace negotiations with the Palestinians during the Oslo process and subsequent diplomatic initiatives. A frequent commentator and analyst on Middle East affairs, he is widely recognised for his work on diplomacy, conflict resolution, international law and Israeli-Palestinian relations, and regularly contributes to international media and policy discussions.

Ever since Republicans captured control of the state legislature at the outset of the last decade, North Carolinians have been witness to a steady stream of proposals designed to make voting harder and more complicated and make the day-to-day oversight and regulation of elections more partisan. And now, with yet another national election of great importance just over five months away, new proposals are being introduced. One such measure in the state Senate would reduce the state's early voting period from 17 days to 10 despite the enormous bipartisan popularity of the current system. In addition, a series of proposals at the GOP-controlled state Board of Elections would make it easier to both toss out provisional ballots and mailed ballots on technicalities and restrict nondisruptive demonstrations designed to get voters to the polls. And recently to learn more about these proposals and how average North Carolinians can weigh in on them, Newsline spoke with the Policy Director of Common Cause North Carolina, Brooks Fuller.

One of the biggest clouds hanging over the 2026 Major League Baseball season is the soon-to-be-expiring collective bargaining agreement between the MLB Players Association and the 30 team owners. The animosity between both sides, after comments were reported in the media, has many fans wondering whether a possible work stoppage could begin on December 1st when the deal expires. On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the first proposals exchanged this week between the owners and the players, most notably the owners' desire to implement a salary cap.

Later, Jake and Jordan discuss the incredible month of May from Philadelphia Phillies starter Cristopher Sánchez, who is currently riding a historic scoreless innings streak. They also highlight the other outstanding starters in the Senior Circuit who are putting together great seasons and could make NL Cy Young voting extremely difficult.

Inside a new economic assessment of federal public lands For a lot of us, public lands are deeply personal. They're where we learned to hunt, where we camp with our families, where we go to breathe a little easier and remember what matters. But increasingly, the future of those lands is being debated in terms of economics, efficiency and ownership — and those conversations are getting louder across the West. On this episode of the Backcountry Hunters & Anglers podcast, we sit down with BHA's Regional Stewardship and Habitat Connectivity Manager, Dre Arman, to unpack a new economic assessment put out by BHA's Idaho chapter and partners examining what a large-scale transfer of federal public lands to the state could actually cost. We break down the numbers behind land transfer proposals, the jobs and communities tied to public lands, and why these conversations matter not just for Idaho, but for every public land owner in America. It's a thoughtful discussion about stewardship, economics and the long-term future of the places we all care about. READ the 2026 Economic Assessment on Proposals to Transfer Ownership of Federal Lands to the State of Idaho Podcast reminder: BHA is still planning next steps for our podcast. Thanks for listening to this new and important conversation, and we'll be sure to update everyone as soon more information is available on what's to come. Thanks for bearing with us.
