Ralph spends the whole hour with progressive activist, Corbin Trent, former communications director for Alexandria Ocasio Cortez to discuss the lack of vision and the spineless leadership in the corporate Democratic Party.Corbin Trent is a co-founder of Brand New Congress and former co-director of Justice Democrats, two grassroots organizations working to elect progressive Democrats to Congress. He was the National Campaign Coordinator for the Bernie Sanders Presidential campaign, and recently served as the Communications Director for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. He writes about rebuilding America at AmericasUndoing.com.This is a [Democratic] Party that is led by sinecurists and apparatchiks who never look at themselves in the mirror after they lose to the most vicious, cruel, ignorant, anti-worker, anti-women, anti-environment, anti-small taxpayer, pro-war Republican Party. They never look into it. It's always: they blame the Greens or they blame some third party or Independent candidate. And they never ask themselves why as a national party did they abandon half the country, which are now called red states?Ralph NaderThe Democratic Party I think, ultimately, is leaderless because it's visionless. It doesn't really see. I don't think the Democratic Party as an entity or as an ideology has a real vision for how to go forward differently. And, therefore, it's hard to be led. It's hard to lead if you don't have a direction.Corbin TrentThe Democratic Party—like your Chuck Schumers, like your Hakeem Jeffries, and like most of the people that are elected there and in leadership positions at all, look at this system, the system of neoliberalism, and they think that somehow it's going to magically start working again. And the fact is that it's not. They have been unable so far to internalize the depth of the brokenness of this system. And then really unable to, I think, really internalize why Trump was powerful, why his messages were powerful. They want to look at it through this extremely narrow and negative lens of racism, bigotry and fear. As opposed to a complete and utter disdain for the system which is sucking from their lives and extracting from their communities. And I think that spells trouble.Corbin TrentIt's not my job as a voter to inspire myself to vote for you. It's your job as a candidate or as a party or as somebody to build a vision that inspires me to vote.Corbin TrentNews 3/13/26* This week, the New York City Council held a hearing on proposed legislation to carry out Mayor Zohran Mamdani's pledge to repossess property from “landlords who have racked up housing code violations and debt from unpaid taxes and fines.” This bill would empower the city's Department of Housing Preservation and Development to turn these buildings over to owners they deem “more responsible.” This would be an update of a program the city has tried to implement before, called “third-party transfer.” However, the council is hesitant to take this step, worrying that it could disproportionately affect small landlords that simply lack the resources to fix code violations or pay fees, as opposed to venture capital backed corporate landlords. Rosa Kelly, chief of staff to the housing commissioner, said the department “views the program as a key part of [their] broader enforcement and preservation toolkit to ensure that housing remains safe and livable for New Yorkers.” This from Gothamist.* In more local news, this week Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser released a long-awaited report on congestion traffic pricing in the District of Columbia. According to the Washington Examiner, the study was conducted in 2021 and the Mayor has delayed the release until now. Along with the release of the study, Mayor Bowser sent a letter to D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson, wherein the Mayor described the “congestion pricing tax scheme,” which includes a proposed $10 charge for people entering the city, as a “bad idea,” and argued that D.C. could not be compared to Midtown Manhattan, which recently implemented a successful congestion pricing system. Democratic Socialist Councilwoman and leading Mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis-George refused to dismiss the study out of hand, writing “Now that the report is public, the Council has an opportunity to dig into the findings & explore what they could mean for the District—including opportunities to reduce congestion, improve air quality & public health, & strengthen public transit for residents across the city.”* Meanwhile, on the West Coast, a new poll shows incumbent Mayor Karen Bass drawing under 20% of the vote in the upcoming primary for her reelection campaign. While this still puts Bass in the lead, it is clearly a weak showing and would be far below the 50% threshold she would need to win to avoid a November runoff. This poll also finds former reality television star Spencer Pratt in second place with around 10% support, and councilmember Nithya Raman – who has been both endorsed and censured by DSA LA in the past – in third with just over 9%, per KTLA. The LA Mayoral race mirrors the California gubernatorial race, which features ten candidates, none of whom draws over 20% in the polls. At some point, the party will have to step in to pressure underperforming candidates to drop out and endorse more viable alternatives, but June is quickly approaching with little sign of party unity.* Speaking of the Democrats, POLITICO is out with a new story on how red state Democratic parties are undermining their best chances of toppling incumbent Republican Senators – independent populist left candidates. In Montana, former University of Montana President Seth Bodnar has launched an independent bid for Senate, with the backing of former longtime Montana Democratic Senator Jon Tester. Bodnar filed on the final day candidates could get on the ballot in the state, and on that same day, three-term incumbent Republican Senator Steve Daines announced he would not run for reelection. POLITICO describes this as “an explicit effort to keep Democrats from fielding a strong candidate of their own.” The state party however shows no interest in stepping aside to clear a path for Bodnar. A similar dynamic is unfolding in South Dakota, with the state party feuding with independent candidate Brian Bengs – who has “raised more than five times his Democratic opponent and more than any non-Republican candidate in the state in 16 years” – while in Idaho, former Democratic state lawmaker Todd Achilles is running as an independent and the state party has played their strategy close to the vest. Only in Nebraska has the state party fully thrown their weight behind the popular independent candidate Dan Osborn, who came within approximately 60,000 votes of longtime incumbent Deb Fischer in 2024 and is polling within a single point of Senator Pete Ricketts this cycle.* In Congress, Republicans have independent problems of their own. Last week, Republican Rep. Kevin Kiley announced he would register as “no party preference,” instead of as a Republican, as he seeks reelection to Congress in his newly redrawn California congressional district. Axios quotes a Kiley spokesperson who said it is “not official yet” whether he will leave the party or the conference, adding: “For now, he's just filing as an independent for his reelection campaign.” If Kiley did leave the Republican conference, it would further imperil the Republicans' razor-thin House majority, which has been continuously whittled down over the course of the 119th Congress.* Turning to foreign affairs, Reuters reports that on Sunday, Colombia held congressional elections which saw the leftist Historic Pact win the most seats in the Senate, but with only 25 out of 102 seats, the Pact will have to compete against the right-wing Democratic Center in order to form a coalition government. Democratic Center, led by ⁠former President Alvaro Uribe, won 17 seats. Ivan Cepeda, the presidential candidate of Historic Pact, called the election results a “categorical ​victory.” In the House, Democratic Center won 32 out of 182 seats, followed by the ‌Liberal ⁠Party with 31, and the Historic Pact with 29. Colombia will choose a new president in May, but according to Ariel Avila, a re-elected senator from the Green Alliance, whether that president is left or right they will likely face a “vetocracy” where “lawmakers block parties ​simply because they come from the opposing side.”* In more news from Latin America, the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) reports the right-wing government of Daniel Noboa in Ecuador has suspended the largest opposition party – the leftist Citizens' Revolution or RC – for nine months. If carried out, RC, led by former leftist president Rafael Correa, will effectively be barred from registering candidates for the 2027 local elections. CEPR Co-Director Mark Weisbrot is quoted saying “The government of President Daniel Noboa, who is strongly backed by President Trump, is trying to accelerate the destruction of what is left of democracy in Ecuador.” CEPR Director of International Policy Alex Main added “Democracy has been under attack since the presidency of Lenín Moreno (2017–2021), with not only the exclusion of political parties, but with persecution by lawfare, the imprisonment or forced exile of political opponents, and Noboa's repeated assumption of ‘emergency' powers and other abuses that have gutted civil liberties.” Recently, President Noboa has been closely collaborating with Trump and the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) to carry out joint “lethal kinetic operations” in Ecuador.* Turning to the Middle East, NBC reports Iran is launching its ‘most intense' strikes of the war, firing some of its most advanced ballistic missiles toward Tel Aviv and Haifa and attacking multiple ships attempting passage through the blockaded Straits of Hormuz. Additionally, reports are trickling out through the Israeli press, which operates under military censorship, about high-profile targets being hit inside the country. The Jewish Chronicle confirms Binyah Hevron, son of Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich was wounded by a Hezbollah rocket, with shrapnel penetrating his back and abdomen, while Yahoo News has debunked rumors that an Iranian missile strike killed Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. Officially, over 1,200 have been killed by Israeli and American strikes in Iran, according to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, while 570 have been killed in Lebanon. Retlatiatory strikes by Iran have killed 13 in Israel.* Meanwhile, a new wrinkle has emerged in the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery deal. Last week, Variety reported that Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal have been raising the alarm about financing for this deal coming from Gulf states, including the Qatar Investment Authority, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. This duo have called for the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States – an interagency body that reviews foreign investments in American businesses for potential national security risks – to review the deal. Warren told the industry trade publication, “Given the cloud of corruption surrounding the Trump administration's review of this deal from Day One, it's no surprise that Trump's Treasury Department is sticking its head in the sand instead of investigating the national security risks of $24 billion from Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds apparently flooding this deal. It's American consumers who will pay the price. Thanks to Donald Trump, a Paramount-Warner Bros. merger could mean higher prices and fewer choices, and might allow foreign actors to control what's on our screens or access our private viewing information.” Ironically, the Trump administration's warlike actions in Iran may have inadvertently solved this problem. Gizmodo reports that the Gulf states are now “reviewing current and future investment commitments in order to alleviate some of the anticipated economic strain from the current war.” It is unclear what would happen if the Gulf states rescinded their financing of this deal, seeing as Paramount is the buyer preferred by the Trump administration and has already paid the $2.8 billion “break-up” fee to Netflix stipulated by their previous agreement with WBD.* Finally, a new Pew poll reveals a troubling reality of contemporary American life. According to the poll, which asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country, 53% of U.S. adults say their fellow Americans have bad morals and ethics. While that may not sound so stark, Pew notes that the United States is the only country they surveyed where more adults described the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad rather than good, with only 47% saying the latter. Turkey came up second, with 51% saying good and 49% saying bad. Pew is careful to state that they have never conducted a poll on this question before, meaning they cannot say whether this is a reflection of long-held beliefs among Americans or a new phenomenon, but it could be the result of long-term trends related to political polarization and the decline in interpersonal trust over the past several decades. Whatever the reasons behind this fact, it presents a formidable problem for political leaders. How can one unify a country wherein the people do not trust one another or even believe that their neighbors are morally and ethically upstanding individuals? Surely there must be a way forward, but what that is I cannot say.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

VOV1 - Ngày 09/03, các nước thuộc Nhóm bảy nền kinh tế phát triển (G7) tuyên bố sẵn sàng triển khai mọi biện pháp cần thiết để bảo đảm sự ổn định của thị trường năng lượng toàn cầu trong bối cảnh căng thẳng địa chính trị tại Trung Đông đang làm dấy lên lo ngại về nguy cơ gián đoạn nguồn cung dầu mỏ.Phát biểu sau cuộc họp trực tuyến của các Bộ trưởng Tài chính G7, Bộ trưởng Tài chính Pháp Roland Lescure cho biết các nước thành viên đang theo dõi sát sao diễn biến của thị trường năng lượng và duy trì sự phối hợp chặt chẽ nhằm ứng phó với những biến động có thể xảy ra.“Chúng tôi thống nhất sẽ theo dõi chặt chẽ diễn biến của thị trường, không chỉ về những tác động đối với nền kinh tế vĩ mô của các quốc gia, mà còn về ảnh hưởng trực tiếp hằng ngày đối với đời sống của người dân, đặc biệt trong bối cảnh giá nhiên liệu tăng cao. Chúng tôi sẽ triển khai mọi biện pháp cần thiết, trong đó bao gồm khả năng sử dụng các kho dự trữ chiến lược nhằm góp phần ổn định thị trường.”Một trong những phương án đang được thảo luận nhiều nhất là khả năng sử dụng các kho dự trữ dầu chiến lược, vốn được nhiều quốc gia coi là công cụ khẩn cấp để bổ sung nguồn cung khi thị trường đối mặt với nguy cơ gián đoạn. Tuy vậy, phía Pháp cho biết các nước G7 hiện chưa đưa ra quyết định giải phóng ngay lập tức lượng dầu dự trữ, bởi các thành viên vẫn đang tiếp tục đánh giá tác động thực tế của tình hình đối với thị trường năng lượng toàn cầu.Cuộc họp của các Bộ trưởng Tài chính G7 diễn ra trong bối cảnh giá dầu thế giới tăng mạnh sau khi căng thẳng quân sự tại Trung Đông leo thang. Những diễn biến này làm dấy lên mối lo ngại về khả năng các tuyến vận tải năng lượng chiến lược trong khu vực bị tác động, kéo theo nguy cơ gây biến động lớn đối với thị trường dầu mỏ và chuỗi cung ứng toàn cầu.Theo các nhà phân tích, mặc dù chưa có quyết định cụ thể về việc sử dụng kho dự trữ, song tuyên bố của nhóm G7 được xem là tín hiệu trấn an thị trường. Động thái này cho thấy các nền kinh tế lớn sẵn sàng phối hợp hành động để hạn chế những cú sốc đối với thị trường năng lượng và bảo đảm ổn định kinh tế toàn cầu trong trường hợp khủng hoảng tiếp tục leo thang./.Anh Tuyển/VOV ParisCuộc họp của các Bộ trưởng Tài chính G7 diễn ra trong bối cảnh giá dầu thế giới tăng mạnh sau khi căng thẳng quân sự tại Trung Đông leo thang - Ảnh: Reuters

C dans l'air du 7 mars 2026 - Trump : le pari de l'escalade militaireAu Moyen-Orient, le conflit qui oppose les Etats-Unis et Israël à l'Iran et au Hezbollah se poursuit. La milice chiite a depuis lundi été visée par de nombreuses frappes au Liban. Le ministère libanais de la Santé indique aujourd'hui que les frappes israéliennes avaient fait près de 300 morts depuis que le pays a été entraîné dans la guerre. L'armée israélienne a pour sa part annoncé ce matin avoir lancé une vaste vague d'attaques contre les infrastructures iraniennes à Téhéran et Ispahan. Le président américain Donald Trump a réclamé hier “la reddition inconditionnelle” de l'Iran, où il compte installer de nouveaux dirigeants. En réponse à cette exigence, le président iranien Masoud Pezeshkian affirme aujourd'hui que les ennemis de la république islamique peuvent "emporter dans leurs tombes leur souhait de voir le peuple iranien se rendre". Le président iranien s'est par ailleurs excusé auprès de ses voisins pour les frappes les ayant visées et leur assure que cela n'arrivera plus, sauf si des frappes étaient tirées depuis ces pays. Donald Trump affirme lui que l'Iran sera "très durement frappé aujourd'hui". La presse américaine s'interroge sur la stratégie exacte du président, dont les objectifs semblent changeants depuis le début de la guerre. Pour l'heure, l'intervention militaire décidée par le locataire de la Maison-Blanche ne convainc pas aux Etats-Unis. Selon plusieurs sondages conduits par CNN, Reuters et le Washington Post au lendemain de l'attaque lancée sur l'Iran, la majorité des Américains désapprouverait les frappes sur la République des mollahs. La population américaine pense même que l'Iran pourrait devenir une menace plus dangereuse pour les États-Unis après l'opération lancée par leur président. Cette intervention de Trump divise jusqu'au sein de ses propres rangs républicains. Ce faible soutien de l'opinion, y compris de sa base, constitue pour Donald Trump un avertissement politique. Le locataire de la Maison-Blanche peut en revanche compter sur le soutien d'un poids lourd de son administration : Pete Hegseth. A entendre le chef du Pentagone, la guerre contre l'Iran est en effet dès à présent une incontestable victoire pour Washington. Alors que les Etats-Unis réalisent l'une des plus vastes campagnes de frappes aériennes jamais menées au Moyen-Orient, le secrétaire du département de la Défense, qui fait l'éloge de « l'esprit guerrier », livre des conférences de presse triomphalistes au ton très martial. C dans l'air revient sur le parcours de cet ex-présentateur de télévision devenu le secrétaire du département de la Défense.Quelle est la situation au Moyen-Orient ? Que prépare Donald Trump ? La politique militaire du président américain est-elle soutenue par sa population ? Qui est Pete Hegseth, devenu en 2025 le secrétaire américain à la Défense ?Experts :- Général Dominique Trinquand - ancien chef de la mission militaire française auprès de l'ONU - auteur de « D'un monde à l'autre »- Mariam Pirzadeh - Rédactrice en chef - France 24 - Ancienne correspondante à Téhéran- Nicole Bacharan - Historienne et politologue, spécialiste des États-Unis - Auteure de « Requiem pour le monde libre »- Anthony Bellanger - Éditorialiste - Franceinfo TV - Spécialiste des questions internationales- Magali Lacroze - Journaliste à C dans l'air (en duplex d'Israël)

The use of Artificial Intelligence by militaries used to be talked about in the abstract, but during the US and Israel's strikes on Iran we've seen it used in real time.

n this episode of Tell The World Podcast, we step back from politics and look at the human side of war. As of March 8, 2026, the conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States has intensified, with continuing airstrikes, Iranian retaliation, leadership upheaval inside Iran, and major disruption to global oil flows. Reuters reports that oil has surged past $100 a barrel, and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has been heavily affected, showing how a regional war can quickly touch everyday life around the world.     But beyond headlines, maps, and military language, this episode asks a deeper question: What does war do to the human spirit? When nations fight, ordinary people pay the price — families lose loved ones, children grow up in fear, entire communities live with uncertainty, and the rest of the world feels the emotional, financial, and moral weight of it too. Reports also show the conflict spreading pressure across the Gulf and wider Middle East, increasing the risk of a broader regional crisis.     This episode is about more than geopolitics. It is about human life, human pain, human responsibility, and human dignity. It challenges us to think about what kind of world we are building when violence becomes the language of power. 

Kalshi Lawsuit, Musk Loses AI Transparency Fight, and AI Data Center Cost Backlash Jim Love covers a lawsuit against prediction market Kalshi after it refused to pay out roughly $54 million on bets tied to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei leaving office, citing a disputed "death carve-out" clause, as regulators face questions about prediction markets, possible insider trading, and whether they are gambling. He also reports a judge rejecting Elon Musk and xAI's bid to block a California AI transparency law requiring disclosures about training data and safety practices. The episode notes major tech firms pledging not to pass AI data center electricity costs to consumers amid rising regulatory and community pushback. Reuters reports OpenAI robotics and consumer hardware head Caitlin Kalinowski resigning after a Pentagon partnership, citing concerns about surveillance and lethal autonomy. Finally, Oracle is rumored to plan up to 30,000 layoffs as AI data center financing tightens. Hashtag Trending would like to thank Meter for their support in bringing you this podcast.

L'ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei a été choisi en Iran pour succéder à son père en tant que Guide suprême. Les gardiens de la révolution lui ont immédiatement prêté allégeance, de même que les forces armées, la police et la diplomatie, malgré les menaces des Etats-Unis et d'Israël. Avant même l'annonce de sa nomination, Donald Trump avait déclaré que le successeur d'Ali Khamenei ne tiendrait « pas longtemps » sans son aval.Mais derrière la communication triomphaliste du président américain, qui se félicite à chaque prise de parole de l'avancée de la guerre en Iran, qu'il mène aux côtés d'Israël depuis le 28 février, que se passe-t-il réellement dans le pays ? Comment vit la population iranienne sous les bombes ? L'espoir de l'avènement d'une démocratie est-il possible alors que la République islamique ne cède pas aux pressions israéliennes et américaines ?Dans cet épisode du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », Ghazal Golshiri, journaliste au service International du Monde et spécialiste de l'Iran, fait le point après dix jours de guerre au Moyen-Orient.Un épisode de Garance Muñoz.

VOV1 - Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump và Thủ tướng Keir Starmer ngày 8/3 đã có cuộc điện đàm nhằm thảo luận về diễn biến mới nhất của cuộc xung đột tại Trung Đông, trong bối cảnh chiến dịch không kích của Mỹ và Israel nhằm vào Iran bước sang tuần thứ hai.Theo tuyên bố, hai nhà lãnh đạo đã trao đổi về tình hình chiến sự cũng như các hình thức hợp tác quân sự giữa hai nước, bao gồm việc sử dụng các căn cứ của Không quân Hoàng gia Anh để hỗ trợ các hoạt động phòng thủ tập thể cho các đối tác trong khu vực.Thủ tướng Starmer cũng bày tỏ lời chia buồn sâu sắc tới ông Trump và người dân Mỹ sau khi sáu binh sĩ Mỹ thiệt mạng trong một cuộc tấn công nhằm vào một cơ sở quân sự của Mỹ tại Kuwait.Cuộc điện đàm diễn ra sau khi ông Trump công khai chỉ trích London vì không tham gia trực tiếp vào các cuộc không kích của Mỹ nhằm vào Iran. Tổng thống Mỹ trước đó cho rằng Washington không cần sự tham gia của các tàu sân bay Anh trong chiến dịch quân sự và cáo buộc Thủ tướng Starmer tìm cách “tham gia vào cuộc chiến sau khi đã giành chiến thắng”.Theo truyền thông Anh, tàu sân bay Hoàng từ xứ Wales đang được chuẩn bị để triển khai tới khu vực Vịnh Ba Tư, trong khi chính phủ Anh được cho là đã cân nhắc khả năng điều thêm các lực lượng hải quân tới khu vực.Sau những tranh cãi ban đầu, London đã cho phép Mỹ sử dụng căn cứ quân sự Diego Garcia để tiến hành các hoạt động quân sự. Ngoài ra, bốn máy bay ném bom B-1 của Mỹ cũng đã được triển khai tới căn cứ Fairford để hỗ trợ các hoạt động trong khu vực.Trong khi đó, ông Trump tiếp tục cảnh báo rằng Washington có thể mở rộng các mục tiêu tấn công tại Iran. Trong một bài đăng trên mạng xã hội, ông tuyên bố các lực lượng Mỹ đang xem xét việc tấn công thêm các khu vực và mục tiêu mới tại nước Cộng hòa Hồi giáo này, đồng thời khẳng định Iran có thể phải đối mặt với những đòn tấn công mạnh mẽ hơn nếu căng thẳng tiếp tục leo thang.Quang Trung/VOV-WashingtonTổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump và Thủ tướng Anh Keir Starmer (ảnh: Reuters)

For review:1. Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran's late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was chosen Sunday to succeed him, despite never having been elected or appointed to a government position.A secretive figure within the Islamic Republic, Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen publicly since the start of the war.2.  US President Donald Trump told The Times of Israel on Sunday that a decision on when to end the war with Iran will be a “mutual” one that he'll make together with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.3. Israel Defense Forces chief Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir warned on Sunday that there was “no safe place” for the Iranian regime to hide.The military provided details on a strike carried out on Saturday against the newly appointed military secretary to Iran's supreme leader, Abol-hasem Babian, who was appointed last week- was confirmed killed by the IDF.4. Iranian Fars news agency reported that Israel's Saturday strikes hit four oil storage facilities and an oil production transfer center in Tehran and Alborz. Residents reported the smell of burning lingering in the air, with many saying it appeared dark even as the sun rose and rain poured on the city. 5. ·NYT Report:  Iran may be able to access and move highly enriched uranium that had been previously thought to have been buried underground by US strikes on the Isfahan nuclear facility last June.6. ·Emirati officials raged on Sunday over what they called false Israeli media reports claiming that the United Arab Emirates had carried out a military strike on Iran amid the ongoing US-Israeli bombing campaign against the Islamic Republic.7. · Saudi Arabia has told Tehran that while it favors a diplomatic settlement to Iran's conflict with the United States, continued attacks on the kingdom and its energy sector could push Riyadh to respond in kind, four sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Saturday.

Ropovod Družba by mohl být technicky připraven k obnovení provozu za měsíc a půl. Podle agentury Reuters to v pátek uvedl ukrajinský prezident Volodymyr Zelenskyj. Dodávky ruské ropy tímto ropovodem do Maďarska a na Slovensko se zastavily koncem ledna, kdy potrubí podle Kyjeva vážně poškodil požár způsobený ruským útokem. Budapešť a Bratislava ale Zelenského viní, že obnovení provozu ropovodu odkládá z politických důvodů.Všechny díly podcastu Názory a argumenty můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Iran says it's chosen a successor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed last week in US-Israeli airstrikes – but the name has yet to be revealed. Meanwhile Israel and the US continue to strike Iran, with oil depots hit, and Iran carries out more strikes on its Gulf Arab neighbours: we hear from Kuwait.Also in the programme: scientists find a mountain range and huge "blue hole" in the deep Caribbean Sea, with life never before seen; and the American gospel musician finally getting recognition after more than fifty years.(IMAGE: A demonstrator holds an image of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, after he was killed in Israeli and U.S. strikes.

Content warning: sexual abuse, sexual assault, childhood sexual abuse, statutory rape, human trafficking, sex trafficking, and suicide.This episode originally aired on November 29th, 2024.Lisa Phillips is a model, actress, survivor, and victim advocate who has spent much of her life all over the world. While cultivating a career in the modeling and acting industries, Lisa even found herself overseas and as a guest on Jeffrey Epstein's private island. That specific trip would become quite traumatic for Lisa, and although she would never return to the property again, she would soon be trafficked into a vast and widespread ring that enabled mass sexual assault. However, it wouldn't be until after navigating the legal system and sharing her story with other survivors of the same serial abuser, that Lisa truly was confronted by the depth of her trauma.

It's Friday, March 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Iran's new Ayatollah vows to 'shed Trump's blood'  An Iranian ayatollah called for the "shedding" of President Donald Trump's blood in a chilling revenge statement broadcast on Iranian state television on Thursday, reports The Express. Ayatollah Javadi Amoli - one of Iran's most senior Islamic clerics - declared that the nation was "on the verge of a great test" and urged "the shedding of Zionist blood, the shedding of Trump's blood" on state television. Exiled Iranian Prince commends Trump for bombing Iran By contrast, in an interview on CBS' 60 Minutes, Prince Reza Pahlavi, the eldest son of the deposed last Shah of Iran, a leader of the opposition to the Iranian Islamic Republic, commended President Donald Trump for bombing the Iranian military sites. PAHLAVI: “My message to President Trump is that I'm here to echo and join millions of my compatriots inside and outside of Iran to thank him for having the courage to do what is not easy, but intervene. He will go down in the annals of Iranian history as the most celebrated foreign leader that changed the ball game and changed the world as a result.” Pahlavi, who has lived in exile 47 years, is the most prominent figure in the opposition to the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. (Watch 60 Minutes Overtime for more of the interview) Former homosexual acquitted for describing Christian conversion In what is viewed as an important international victory for freedom of speech and religion, Matthew Grech, a singer and former X-Factor contestant who has been prosecuted in Maltese courts for three long years for having spoken out publicly about leaving homosexuality, was acquitted Thursday morning, reports LifeSiteNews.com. He was joyous outside the courthouse. GRECH: “I'm standing with my friends and colleagues here at the Maltese courts, and I want to tell you guys that we won. The court has decided in our favor and has pronounced me and the co-accused as innocent. “It is a big day. I'm very thankful that the Maltese courts decided for freedom of speech. The Maltese courts decided for freedom of religion and has announced that I had every right to share my Christian views around sexuality and gender, and to mention organizations that are helping Christians to live consistently with their belief system.” Matthew Grech cited 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. “The Bible says in the book of Corinthians some of you were homosexuals, adulterers, you name it, but you were washed, sanctified, justified in the name of Lord Jesus. This is the good news. This is the Gospel. It offers hope, change and transformation.” Trump fires DHS Secretary Kristi Noem TRUMP: “You're fired!” On Thursday, after a painful couple of days of testimony before Congress, Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, was fired by President Donald Trump, reports ABC News. In addition to the expected attacks from Democratic Senators on DHS, Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana asked Secretary Noem pointed questions about whether President Trump signed off on her decision to authorize $220 million on Homeland Security ads which prominently featured her. Listen. NOEM: “I have a policy in place that I review contracts. My deputy chiefs have the ability to review anything under $5 million. Above that, I evaluate and look at.” KENNEDY: “Okay, and you do that, I understand, to try to curb waste and abuse of taxpayer money. Is that right?” NOEM: “Yes, sir. In fact, it's been extremely effective.” KENNEDY: “How do you square that concern for waste, which I share, with the fact that you have spent $220 million running television advertisements that feature you prominently?” NOEM: “Sir, the president tasked me with getting the message out to the country, and to other countries where we were seeing the invasion come from, with putting commercials out that told them that if they were in this country illegally, that they needed to leave, or we would detain them and remove them, and they'd not get the chance to come back to America the right way. That has been extremely effective.” (crosstalk) KENNEDY:  “The president asked you to run these advertisements. Is that right?” NOEM: “We had that conversation, yes, before I was put in this position and sworn in and confirmed, and since then as well.” KENNEDY: “Okay. You're testifying that President Trump approved this ahead of time. Is that my understanding?” NOEM: “We had conversations about making sure that we were telling people across …” KENNEDY: “No, ma'am, I'm asking you, sorry to interrupt, but the President approved ahead of time you spending $220 million running TV ads across the country in which you are featured prominently?” NOWEM: “Yes, sir, we went through the legal processes. worked with [Office of Management and Budget].” KENNEDY: “Did the president know you were going to do this? NOEM: “Yes.” KENNEDY: “He did?” NOEM: “Yes.” KENNEDY: “Okay.” In response, President Trump told Reuters, “I never knew anything about it.” RedState.com speculates that the exchange between GOP Senator Kennedy and Kristi Noem was her undoing. Shortly after his comments to Reuters, Trump posted to Truth Social ​that Noem would be replaced. The president said he was "pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, effective March 31, 2026." This marks the first Cabinet secretary Trump has fired in his second term. Anniversary of Christian martyrdom of 22-year-old Perpetua And finally, the church remembers the martyrdom of Perpetua, a 22-year-old Christian noblewoman in Carthage, North Africa on March 7th A.D. 203. She was executed alongside Felicity, a pregnant slave woman imprisoned with her, to cruelly celebrate the birthday of Caesar Geta, the son of emperor Septimius Severus.  Simply because they were Christians, they were flogged, attacked by hungry leopards, and finally beheaded. Listen to this excerpt from a 30-minute animated video in The Torchlighter Series. PRISON CARETAKER: “As prison caretaker doing duty in the stench-filled underground cells, I've gotten a glimpse of many a prisoner's own faith or lack of it. MAN: "Please no. I don't want to die." PRISON CARETAKER: "I don't judge them. I too would fear the mauling beasts and death. But what I saw today in a young woman and her companions, such courage I have never seen before.” Joshua 1:9 says, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” You can get the animated Perpetua Story DVD through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.

According to Check Point Research and Reuters, cyberattacks on U.S. utilities in 2024 increased nearly 70% compared to the year before, leading to an average of 69 attacks every week. In 2025, the trend continued, in the U.S and globally. What can water utilities do to protect themselves from these digital threats?   The answer is a nuanced one, as the challenges extend beyond outdated software and ageing infrastructure. Most water utilities globally are undergoing rapid digital transformation to respond to higher demands from communities, councils and authorities. This has opened more opportunities for cyberthreats, driving more challenges for cybersecurity in Operational Technology (OT) environments. Unlike conventional Information Technology (IT) systems, OT systems directly control pumps, valves, and treatment processes. An attack on OT can have immediate, real-world consequences for water quality, safety and public health.   The OT environment at Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) is a success story as it protects one of the largest regional water and wastewater utilities in the U.S., servicing more than 20 counties and cities and 1.5 million people. Thanks to its signature program of embedded visibility, governance and consequence-driven planning, it can serve as a blueprint for water utilities globally.   Today we'll talk about how to apply this cybersecurity blueprint with Ben Stirling, Director, Cybersecurity & OT at Jacobs, and Roger Caslow, Chief Information Security Officer, Hampton Roads Sanitation District.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explore OpenAI's decision to adjust its trillion-dollar AI infrastructure ambitions to reassure investors. Highlights 00:04 — Planned spending commitments amongst the Cloud Wars Top 10 companies have reached astronomical levels. This surge is in response to the anticipated demand for AI infrastructure, products, and services — a market that UN Trade and Development predicts will exceed $4.3 trillion by 2033. 00:25 — But in a trend-bucking move, OpenAI has informed investors that it's lowered its projected compute spending to $600 billion by 2030, down from the previously touted $1.4 trillion in infrastructure commitments announced in November by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. 00:46 — And this information came from a source that spoke to the news agency Reuters. The apparent shift aims to provide a more defined timeline for planned spending, alleviating concerns for investors who might view the $1.4 trillion figure as somewhat overly ambitious. 01:06 — CNBC also reported that OpenAI's total revenue for 2030 is expected to exceed $80 billion. The revised spending plan is designed, according to sources, to align more closely with this anticipated figure and reassure investors about the company's growth trajectory. 01:54 — The balancing act for companies like OpenAI is a delicate one. It needs to demonstrate that it has the faith and support to fully commit to AI spending while also showing restraint to its investors. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Reuters berig ekslusief dat weermagbronne aan hom bevestig het dat dit voor wil kom asof die VSA wel verantwoordelik is vir die aanval op die meisieskool in Iran op die eerste dag van die konflik. Meer as 170 kinders is in die aanval dood. Die ondersoek deur Amerikaanse owerhede is nog nie voltooi nie. Tydens ‘n perskonferensie by die Withuis het perssekretaris Karoline Leavitt vroeër die week so geantwoord.

Yesterday, Reuters reported, Indian refiners have rushed to secure prompt cargoes of Russian crude as the war involving Iran disrupts supplies from the Middle East. The crisis has choked traffic through the Strait of Hormuz — a route that normally carries around 40% of India's oil imports — forcing companies to scramble for alternatives. The shift is striking. New Delhi had spent months cutting back Russian imports under U.S. pressure. But with India holding only about 25 days of crude reserves, the war has quickly exposed how thin that buffer really is. So how did India's energy strategy end up here, between Russian oil, U.S. pressure, and a war in Iran? Host Snigdha Sharma explains.Tune in.

With Donald Trump's war on Iran getting worse, a new report in The New York Times reveals damning details about the runup to the decision. We learn that Trump's case rests on lies about the “imminent threat” Iran poses, and that he publicly misrepresented his own top general's misgivings about the invasion. Secretary of State Marco Rubio arguably misled congressional leaders, and JD Vance privately called for going big, undercutting his “noninterventionist” cred. This comes as a new CNN poll finds a whopping 59 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump's war, and a Reuters poll finds support at an abysmal 27 percent. We talked to Mark Jacob, who has a good piece for his “Stop the Presses” Substack on Trump's lawbreaking. We discuss why public impressions of his violent lawlessness are turning voters against the war, what will happen in the midterms if things get worse, and how Trump is assuming the powers of a mad dictator.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's stories: Sinclair's This Is the Test: Are we about to see age reversal in humans? At the World Governments Summit 2026 in Dubai, Harvard geneticist David Sinclair told world leaders that ageing could soon be reversible and said the first human clinical trials of epigenetic reprogramming therapies are moving forward. The core idea is that ageing is partly an information problem, how cells read DNA, not just cumulative damage, and that partial reprogramming could restore youthful function without turning tissues into tumors. Dave frames this as a rare binary moment for longevity: either early, localized human trials (starting with tightly controlled tissue targets like the eye) show meaningful functional rejuvenation with acceptable safety, or the field has to recalibrate fast. Either way, the next couple of years will heavily influence where money, regulators, and serious researchers place their bets. • Sources: – World Governments Summit: https://www.worldgovernmentssummit.org/media-hub/news/detail/ageing-could-soon-be-reversible-says-harvard-scientist-at-wgs-2026 – NAD / Life Biosciences coverage: https://www.nad.com/news/fda-greenlights-life-biosciences-human-study-setting-up-pivotal-test-for-aging-theory-from-harvards-david-sinclair AlphaFold 4 in a locked box: DeepMind's private AI drug design engine Isomorphic Labs, DeepMind's drug discovery company, unveiled a proprietary drug design engine that outside scientists are comparing to an AlphaFold 4 moment, but for designing drugs, not just predicting structures. The big shift is that this system is closed: no public weights, no open database, and access appears to flow through partnerships with pharma companies. Dave breaks down why that matters for the longevity world: if AI makes early discovery cheaper and faster, we might see more serious shots on ageing targets over the next decade, but a closed model can also mean less transparency, bigger IP moats, and no guarantee that faster discovery leads to cheaper drugs. • Sources: – Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00365-7 – Isomorphic Labs: https://www.isomorphiclabs.com/articles/the-isomorphic-labs-drug-design-engine-unlocks-a-new-frontier Peptides in the freezer: El Mencho's anti aging stash and the dark side of wellness After reports and images from the final hideout linked to Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes (El Mencho), coverage highlighted a detail that feels uncomfortably familiar to anyone in the modern wellness internet: injectable vials stored in a freezer with a schedule attached, including Tationil Plus, a glutathione based injectable marketed in some places for “cellular health,” cosmetic effects, and anti ageing. Dave uses the absurdity as a narrative wedge, not cartel gossip, to talk about how normalized gray market injectables have become, and how marketing (“detox,” “cellular reset”) often outruns evidence and safety. The segment pivots into a practical filter: which compounds are real therapeutics under medical supervision, and which are expensive folklore with sourcing risk and unknown long term downsides. • Sources: – New York Post: https://nypost.com/2026/02/25/world-news/inside-the-luxurious-love-nest-where-mexican-drug-lord-el-mencho-spent-his-final-days/ – Sky News (Reuters photos referenced): https://news.sky.com/story/inside-the-mexican-villa-where-feared-drug-lord-el-mencho-spent-final-hours-13511954 – Reuters photo gallery: https://www.reuters.com/pictures/el-menchos-last-hideout-inside-villa-where-cartel-leader-spent-final-hours-2026-02-25/W7DK5WEXS5IMLLZQO2P3CXGXFM The disease we thought was dead: measles comes roaring back Measles cases have surged in early 2026, with reporting citing at least 588 cases in the U.S. by late January, already more than many full year totals, and additional updates showing continued acceleration into February. Dave reframes this as a healthspan floor issue: you can argue about peptides and mitochondria all day, but measles is so contagious that once community immunity drops, outbreaks move fast and hit the most vulnerable first, especially infants and immunocompromised people. He also flags the systems problem: many clinicians have never seen measles, which increases the odds of delayed recognition and wider exposure in waiting rooms. The actionable move is boring and high ROI: verify MMR status for you and your family and close gaps before outbreaks get closer to home. • Sources: – AMA Morning Rounds (Week of Feb. 2, 2026): https://www.ama-assn.org/about/publications-newsletters/top-news-stories-ama-morning-rounds-week-feb-2-2026 – ABC News (CDC case count coverage): https://abcnews.com/Health/588-us-measles-cases-reported-january-cdc/story?id=129699078 – CIDRAP (case tracking context): https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/measles/us-measles-cases-soar-588-so-far-year-south-carolina-confirms-58-new-infections DC vs your health: Trump's State of the Union health reset President Donald Trump's 2026 State of the Union included a cluster of healthcare themes that function as a directional signal for agencies and payers this year, including drug pricing rhetoric, price transparency, and broader coverage and affordability framing. Dave translates the politics into a practical heuristic for biohackers: federal posture quietly determines what becomes easy versus painful to access in the legitimate system, from GLP 1 coverage rules and prior auth behavior to how friendly the environment is for telehealth, at home diagnostics, and eventually whatever “real longevity medicine” looks like.
