Unatoč činjenici da je službena dob za umirovljenje u Australiji 67 godina, prilikom zapošljavanja, radnike u dobi od 51 do 55 godina često se svrstava u kategoriju "starijih radnika" . To je pokazalo novo istraživanje koje su proveli Australski institut za ljudske resurse i Australsko povjerenstvo za ljudska prava. Nažalost, to nije novost – već je niz studija pokazao da osobe u pedesetima redovito nailaze na diskriminaciju na radnom mjestu zbog svoje dobi. Pa ipak, ostaje ključno pitanje - zašto je i dalje toliko teško dokazati i suzbiti dobnu diskriminaciju na tržištu rada?

Starosta jihočeského Protivína Jaromír Hlaváč (ODS) čelí podezření, že si dlouhodobě přihrává milionové zakázky od města, které od roku 2002 vede. Politik ale tvrdí, že se ničeho nezákonného nedopouští a střet zájmů vylučuje.Jaromír Hlaváč z ODS sedí v křesle starosty Protivína už 23 let a místní opozice varuje, že jeho postupy jsou často na hraně zákona. Vedení pětitisícového města v čele s Hlaváčem prý vypisuje velké množství veřejných zakázek, které pak dostávají lidé z okolí starosty, nebo dokonce starosta sám.Starostova firma LEKO dosud pro město Protivín provedla stavební zakázky za bezmála 30 milionů korun. Jednalo se například o opravy radnice a kaple na hřbitově, rekonstrukci obecních bytů a dopravní infrastruktury či stavební úpravy domova s pečovatelskou službou.Většina zakázek nesla definici takzvaných zakázek malého rozsahu. Právník z Transparency International Kryštof Doležal pro pořad Ve stínu vysvětluje, že je to elegantní cesta, jak vybrat někoho, koho zadavatel, v tomto případě město, vybrat chce.Redakce pořadu Ve stínu několikrát starostu Jaromíra Hlaváče oslovila. Osobní rozhovor rázně odmítl, reagoval jen písemně. Tvrdí, že má svědomí čisté, zakázky získával řádně a vylučuje, že by byl ve střetu zájmu. Ve stínu:Případy a příběhy od vás.

Je až neuvěřitelné s jakou jistotou se můžete spolehnout na to, že když Donald Trump začne bombardovat, značná část vedení demokratů a prominentních amerických liberálů mu začne tleskat – možná s výhradami, ale začne. Platilo to v roce 2017 a platí to i dnes. Když vyslal Trump na začátku svého prvního funkčního období rakety na Sýrii, moderátor liberální televizní stanice MSNBC Brian Williams se zasnil. „Jsem veden krásou našich zbraní,” citoval moderátor Leonarda Cohena.
