A copilot stabbed the captain of a FlyDubai flight to Tel Aviv before passengers and crew subdued him and stabilized the plane. The Washington Post’s Gerry Shih explains what investigators are examining. A Tennessee woman on death row survived two doses of lethal injection last night, prompting the state to halt the execution. The Associated Press has the details. U.S. troops have formally withdrawn from Iraq, ending a military operation that lasted more than a decade. Reuters reports on what the withdrawal means for Iran and ISIS. Plus, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pledged to cut 20% of the nation’s generals and admirals, Citadel CEO Ken Griffin is donating $2 billion for a Carnegie Mellon University campus in Miami, and how a bear named Backpack won Fat Bear Week. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.

Send us Fan MailAI has a physical footprint, and it runs on electricity. We're joined by Laila Kearney, a US energy reporter at Reuters, to explain how data centers and AI-driven computing are colliding with a power grid that was not built for demand to spike this fast. What starts as a technology story quickly becomes a grid reliability story, a market rules story, and, increasingly, a political story that touches nearly every part of the economy. We talk through what Laila is seeing across utilities and power markets, including the tension between massive interconnection requests and the slow, expensive reality of building new generation and transmission. She shares why PJM Interconnection has become a focal point, how efforts to meet load are changing decisions about everything from natural gas to nuclear restarts, and what it looks like on the ground when the industry tries to move faster than the infrastructure. Along the way, she breaks down how she turns highly technical energy reporting into clear, reader-first journalism without losing the truth and context that make the facts matter. Laila also opens up about the craft: sourcing with people who may be cautious or constrained, staying disciplined when markets move by the minute and finding stories with real human impact, like peaker plants that were expected to retire but may now run longer because demand keeps climbing. For communicators and PR teams, she shares what catches her attention in a pitch and what makes her back away. If you care about energy transition, electricity demand, power grid capacity and the hidden costs of the AI boom, this conversation will give you a sharper lens. Subscribe, share this with a colleague, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show.Connect with Laila KearneyLaila's reporting at ReutersLinkedInX

De amerikanske renter tordner i vejret, og herhjemme ligger et fastforrentet boliglån nu op mod fem procent. Men skyldes de stigende renter nervøsitet for dårlige offentlige finanser og voksende gældsbjerge, eller ligger der noget andet bag? Og hvor er de danske boligrenter på vej hen? Vi kigger også på friske tal fra dansk økonomi, der viser en vækst, der brager afsted, og en beskæftigelse nær rekordniveau. Dernæst har mediet Reuters fået fingrene i børsprospektet for AI-giganten Anthropic, der efter planen vil børsnoteres til over to tusind milliarder dollars om ganske få uger. De lækkede papirer rummer en stribe spændende nøgletal og en indrømmelse, man sjældent ser: at selskabets eget produkt kan true menneskehedens eksistens. Til sidst kigger vi på fedmekrigen mellem amerikanske Eli Lilly og Novo Nordisk, hvor Lilly har præsenteret opsigtsvækkende resultater og store vægttab ved at kombinere nogle af sine præparater. Det tyder på skidt nyt for de knap 700.000 danskere med en Novo Nordisk-aktie. I studiet: Magnus Barsøe og Mikael Milhøj.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Day 1,676.Today, amid yet more deadly strikes on Kyiv and the surrounding oblast – and as parts of airspace above Poland are once again shut down – we bring you developments causing deep concern across Europe.

CannCon and Ashe in America welcome back Colonel Shawn Smith for a genuinely wonky, connect-the-dots hour. The thread starts in Puerto Rico, where the government called in the feds over its Dominion machines, and quickly widens into a study of Mojave, the AI outfit that shows up in a string of Reuters stories. Colonel Smith walks through the reporting he says conveniently never names the intelligence-community heavyweight tied to the company's founding, and argues the whole push exists to preserve the illusion that computerized voting can somehow be secured with more AI. He explains how these systems are built to cover their tracks, why you hunt for the logs that should be there and aren't, and why insiders got boxed out of the real investigation. Then CannCon carries it home with Puerto Rico's hundreds of ballot errors, the Halderman report, Raffensperger's unpatched software, and the Eric Coomer and Fox Dominion fallout. Plus beards, boomers, and Rico Suave.

FOLLOW UP: BIG PUSH TO PROTECT UK AUTOMOTIVE RELEVANCEThe campaign to push both the UK Government and EU into a favourable deal connected to the ‘Made in Europe' regulation is gaining momentum from within the industry. The SMMT has produced a report to claims the UK industry contributes €24 billion in ‘economic activity' across the continent. This is to try and show that be excluding the UK would actually hurt the EU. Click this article link from Motor Trader, to read more.The EU, for its part, has some demands of the UK, if they are to be considered to be covered. First and foremost is to impose extra tariffs on Chinese imports. This comes off the back of the suggestion it should join the EU's customs union, as that means aligning with the economic policies of the bloc. Click this EV Powered article link for more.Meanwhile, the ACEA (European equivalent to the SMMT), has called on a delay for the stricter rules of origin for the batteries of electric vehicles, between the UK and the EU. By pushing it back until 2029 that will save billions in extra costs. Click this electrive article link here, to learn more.MERCEDES IS THE LATEST TO TRY AND CUT WORKER COSTSMercedes-Benz is the latest company to be trying to reduce costs by cutting worker expenses in Germany. Reports state options being considered include asking employees to work longer without extra pay, changing holiday and Christmas bonuses as well as eliminating special payments. These options have been gift-wrapped in the not-at-all threatening statement that two German plants are at risk otherwise. If you want to read more, click this Reuters article link here.CONSUMERS AND FLEETS ENCOURAGED TO CLAIM FROM SHIIPING CARTELIn 2016 the EU found that several vehicle carriers had created a cartel to keep prices favourable to them at the cost to the buyers of those vehicles. In the UK the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) has announced the compensation due to those who bought or leased a new vehicle between 18 October 2006 and 6 September 2015. For the first effected vehicle it is expected that the person will receive £25, for multiple vehicle claims the second to sixth should get £5 per vehicle and those over six are presumed to be getting £2.50 per vehicle. Which seems pittance and won't affect the companies who have been found guilty of breaking the law. Again. For more on this, including the link to sign up for potential compensation, click this FleetWorld article link here.MOTOR INDUSTRY WANTS HELP TO TRANSITION TO DEFENCEElements of the UK motor manufacturing industry have asked the UK Government for help in transitioning to serve the defence sector as geopolitical tensions rise and local car industry is under increased pressure. This follows moves in Europe where they are doing this.

The one at Munich will remain and is their last in Germany. Lots of corporate language was used, but essentially they're in trouble and their European adventure seems almost over. Click this electrive article to read more.Meanwhile, Geely has announced that it will be integrating with the technology of Nio to enable battery swapping in it's vehicles in the future and working closely with them to integrate their networks. The deal is quite complicated with each company owning shares in each other's subsidiaries.

The headline from the research is two-thirds of UK drivers want a lower speed limit on country roads. The wonderfully deadpan way this was written exposes the nature and silliness of these ‘surveys', which are generated for publicity. In reality it was demonstrating so many feel incompetent behind the wheel as well as then bringing in irrelevant stats about the number who exceed the national speed limit, like that would change with a reduction.

AVA GLASS Learn more about Ava Glass at https://www.avaglass.uk Ava Glass is the UK's biggest selling female spy writer with over 2million copies sold, who writes about the world of female spies from firsthand experience and has been dubbed the “female heir to James Bond” by James Patterson and “the new Queen of spy fiction” by The Guardian. Having worked in British intelligence for just shy of a decade, Ava Glass uses her novels to reveal the hidden world of female espionage in compelling and realistic spy writing that shatters the James Bond stereotype. Ava Glass's fourth novel The Hiding Season is published by Penguin Cornerstone in paperback on 13th August and explores the damage that spies do to those who accidentally cross their path, something Ava has experienced herself. In a completely fresh direction for Ava Glass, The Hiding Season is set in America's wild west state of Montana following an ordinary American woman running for her life after she witnesses the murder of one of America's most powerful senators – the perfect read for fans of hit shows The Night Manger and Yellowstone. Her many years working with MI6, MI5 and the FIB, mean that Ava Glass (not her real name) has signed the official secrets act, has been befriended, vetted and duped by spies, seen everything from the real Bond Girls – Britain's brigade of female spies; participated in terrorist simulations on British soil - where the British Government blow up more buildings than a Mission Impossible film so spies can practice for the real thing; and has some brilliant stories to share from the secret spy nod, secret spy doors, to why not to tussle with a spy in public. Prior to working with MI5 and MI6, Glass had a previous career as a crime reporter in the USA covering murders & kidnappings alongside the FBI and has written for the New York Times and Reuters. Ava also frequently appears on BBC Radio 4 and Sky News covering the latest spy stories. Current Release THE HIDING SEASON PENGUIN | 13 AUGUST 2026 Trust no one. Move fast. From the UK Queen of spy fiction, comes a brilliant new spy novel set in the heart of America. Exploring the damage that spies can do to those who become entangled with them, The Hiding Season follows an ordinary woman running for her life after she witnesses the murder of one of America's most powerful senators. Escaping from a broken marriage, Maya Landry moves to Bozeman, Montana, the gateway to the Rocky Mountains. Working at an exclusive private ski-resort in the off season, Maya's new life of quiet reflection in the mountains is going exactly as she'd hoped . . . until she stumbles across a dead body. With no phone signal, she races down the mountain to get help. But when she returns with the police, the body is gone and no-one believes her. Later that night Maya is told by FBI agent Riley Maguire that if she doesn't leave the state tonight, she'll be dead by morning. Forced to change her identity, leave everything behind and move across the country, Maya trusts Riley to keep her safe. But, when her hiding place is compromised, should she trust him? And are the feelings she's having towards him too good to be true? From a ski lodge in the Rocky Mountains to the Dirty Sixth in Austin, and from an anonymous safehouse in Texas to the headquarters of the FBI in Chicago, this is a page-turning, pulse-pounding thriller that explores the collateral damage of an FBI operation gone wrong.

Anthropic's IPO prospectus warns of potentially catastrophic AI risks. OpenAI unveils new agents and a $500 subscription while cutting the included allowance on its $200 Pro plan. In Hashtag Trending for September 30, 2026, host Jim Love covers four technology stories: • Anthropic's IPO warnings: Reuters reports that the Claude developer's prospectus describes risks including models resisting shutdown, concealing information and behaving differently when they recognize safety tests. • Connected-car privacy: Northeastern University researchers, working with Consumer Reports, tested 21 vehicles and 30 carmaker phone apps. Seven apps transmitted sensitive information to companies associated with advertising and tracking. Examples of the apps tested include HondaLink and myChevrolet. • Copilot photo reviews: A 404 Media investigation finds contractors can see uploaded photos and AI-generated edits while evaluating image quality. We examine Microsoft's privacy policies and the unresolved question of whether a training opt-out excludes these reviews. • OpenAI DevDay: GPT-6.1 Sol launches, while GPT-6.1 Astra is withheld over safety concerns.

Los principales índices de Wall Street suben el miércoles, ya que unos datos de inflación inferiores a lo previsto alimentan las esperanzas de que la Reserva Federal no suba los tipos de interés el próximo mes. Un informe del Departamento de Comercio revela que el índice de precios del gasto en consumo personal (PCE) se situó en el 3,4% en términos interanuales en agosto, frente a las estimaciones del 3,7% de los economistas encuestados por Reuters. Por otra parte, los datos del PIB del segundo trimestre mostraron que la economía estadounidense creció a un ritmo sólido, impulsada por el robusto gasto de los consumidores y la inversión empresarial relacionada con la expansión de las infraestructuras de inteligencia artificial. Cinco de los once sectores del S&P 500 cotizan al alza, con los de tecnología de la información y energía a la cabeza. El sector inmobiliario y el financiero eran los que menos avanzaban. Mercado y valores españoles los analizamos con Javier Cabrera, de XTB.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday that Israel would make Hamas pay for failing to release the body of hostage Shiri Bibas as agreed in the latest potential threat to the month-old cease-fire.以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡周五表示，哈马斯未能按照协议归还人质希里·比巴斯（Shiri Bibas）的遗体，以色列将让其为此付出代价，这是对一个月前停火协议的最新潜在威胁。Reuters correspondent Fiona Jones reports. Hamas said Bibas' remains appeared to have been mixed with others after an Israeli airstrike hit the place she was being held, later adding that it was investigating the possible error.路透社记者菲奥娜·琼斯（Fiona Jones）报道。哈马斯表示，以色列空袭袭击了比巴斯被关押的地方后，她的遗体似乎与其他遗体混在一起，后来又补充说，正在调查可能的失误。Netanyahu gave no details on a possible Israeli response, but the incident highlights the fragility of the month-old cease-fire deal reached with U.S. backing and help from Qatar and Egypt.内塔尼亚胡没有透露以色列可能做出的反应，但这一事件凸显了在美国支持以及卡塔尔和埃及帮助下达成的一个月前停火协议的脆弱性。The failure to return Bebas' body during this staged public handover caused outrage in Israel.在这次分阶段的公开移交中，以色列未能归还比巴斯的遗体，引起了以色列的愤怒。"It's like they make a joke of us and the mother just sent the body and it's so painful, so the family has to go and bury them and to make sort of a closure and now the mother is missing and it's so frustrating."“他们好像在拿我们开玩笑，母亲刚刚把尸体送来，这太令人痛苦了，所以家人必须去埋葬他们，做一个了结，现在母亲失踪了，这太令人沮丧了。”Hamas is due to release six living hostages on Saturday, with the start of the negotiations for the cease-fire's second phase expected in the coming days. That was Reuters correspondent Fiona Jones.哈马斯定于周六释放六名活着的人质，预计未来几天将开始停火第二阶段的谈判。路透社记者菲奥娜·琼斯报道。U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has criticized Germany's free speech laws during an appearance at a conservative gathering outside Washington.美国副总统J.D.万斯在华盛顿郊外的保守派集会上批评了德国的言论自由法。He linked Germany's limits against hate speech to American troops stationed there.他将德国对仇恨言论的限制与驻扎在那里的美国军队联系起来。German laws set restrictions on free speech, including the long-standing ban on Holocaust denial and any glorification of the country's Nazi past.德国法律对言论自由进行了限制，包括长期禁止否认大屠杀和美化该国纳粹历史。The limits are an effort to curb extremism and incitement and have led authorities to policing the internet for hate speech and arresting people forallegedlyposting and reposting such comments.这些限制是为了遏制极端主义和煽动行为，并促使当局对互联网上的仇恨言论进行监管，并逮捕涉嫌发布和转发此类评论的人。Vance's remarks Thursday followed his speech earlier this month at the Munich Security Conference.万斯周四发表讲话之前，他本月早些时候在慕尼黑安全会议上发表了讲话。

AVA GLASS Learn more about Ava Glass at https://www.avaglass.uk Ava Glass is the UK's biggest selling female spy writer with over 2million copies sold, who writes about the world of female spies from firsthand experience and has been dubbed the “female heir to James Bond” by James Patterson and “the new Queen of spy fiction” by The Guardian. Having worked in British intelligence for just shy of a decade, Ava Glass uses her novels to reveal the hidden world of female espionage in compelling and realistic spy writing that shatters the James Bond stereotype. Ava Glass's fourth novel The Hiding Season is published by Penguin Cornerstone in paperback on 13th August and explores the damage that spies do to those who accidentally cross their path, something Ava has experienced herself. In a completely fresh direction for Ava Glass, The Hiding Season is set in America's wild west state of Montana following an ordinary American woman running for her life after she witnesses the murder of one of America's most powerful senators – the perfect read for fans of hit shows The Night Manger and Yellowstone. Her many years working with MI6, MI5 and the FIB, mean that Ava Glass (not her real name) has signed the official secrets act, has been befriended, vetted and duped by spies, seen everything from the real Bond Girls – Britain's brigade of female spies; participated in terrorist simulations on British soil - where the British Government blow up more buildings than a Mission Impossible film so spies can practice for the real thing; and has some brilliant stories to share from the secret spy nod, secret spy doors, to why not to tussle with a spy in public. Prior to working with MI5 and MI6, Glass had a previous career as a crime reporter in the USA covering murders & kidnappings alongside the FBI and has written for the New York Times and Reuters. Ava also frequently appears on BBC Radio 4 and Sky News covering the latest spy stories. Current Release THE HIDING SEASON PENGUIN | 13 AUGUST 2026 Trust no one. Move fast. From the UK Queen of spy fiction, comes a brilliant new spy novel set in the heart of America. Exploring the damage that spies can do to those who become entangled with them, The Hiding Season follows an ordinary woman running for her life after she witnesses the murder of one of America's most powerful senators. Escaping from a broken marriage, Maya Landry moves to Bozeman, Montana, the gateway to the Rocky Mountains. Working at an exclusive private ski-resort in the off season, Maya's new life of quiet reflection in the mountains is going exactly as she'd hoped . . . until she stumbles across a dead body. With no phone signal, she races down the mountain to get help. But when she returns with the police, the body is gone and no-one believes her. Later that night Maya is told by FBI agent Riley Maguire that if she doesn't leave the state tonight, she'll be dead by morning. Forced to change her identity, leave everything behind and move across the country, Maya trusts Riley to keep her safe. But, when her hiding place is compromised, should she trust him? And are the feelings she's having towards him too good to be true? From a ski lodge in the Rocky Mountains to the Dirty Sixth in Austin, and from an anonymous safehouse in Texas to the headquarters of the FBI in Chicago, this is a page-turning, pulse-pounding thriller that explores the collateral damage of an FBI operation gone wrong.

Jack Smith was on Capitol Hill today and his lying started with his opening statement! New revelations show that Smith committed REAL crimes! Former Smith's illegal investigation obtained records that included communications between nearly 50 journalists and officials from the first Trump administration. The material reportedly came from a subpoena covering records associated with 87 White House phones and included journalists from major outlets such as Fox News, CNN, CBS, NBC, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Reuters and the Associated Press. Senate Judiciary Republicans also say investigators obtained nearly 5,000 checks from people who donated to Trump or Trump-aligned groups. Those checks contained personal and financial information belonging to donors across all 50 states, and lawmakers say additional subpoena returns could contain even more. The records and checks reportedly span activity between September 2019 and August 2023.Sponsor:My PillowWww.MyPillow.com/johnPromo code 'john' at checkout for up to 67% off in savings on ALL products!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Grid storage is growing faster than the industry expected. EVs accounted for more than 70% of global battery deployment in 2025, down from almost 80% in 2024, according to the IEA. On this CPH Live, Tim Montague and John Weaver unpack stationary battery storage growth and follow the batteries to two places: 230 GW of data center interconnection requests and a solar plus storage copper mine in Congo. They also cover China clean tech investment, EV charging costs, and agrivoltaics. These stories show where new batteries are going and why.Episode Highlights:Stationary storage is taking a larger share of global battery deployment. EVs fell to more than 70% in 2025, down from almost 80% in 2024 (IEA), as EV growth ran slower than projected and grid storage grew faster. Tim opened with a 95% EV figure, John corrected it with the IEA data live, and the hosts named CATL, BYD, and Illinois' new grid law as drivers of grid-scale battery storage. Cross Boundary Energy's Kamoa Copper project in the Democratic Republic of Congo pairs 233 MW of east-west solar with a 526 MWh battery and 30 MW of output. John calls the roughly 8 to 1 DC to AC ratio the largest he has seen. (Crossboundary Energy)Tim reports 230 GW of data center interconnection applications across the U.S., against a grid running near 500 GW. He argues 20 million Powerwall 3 units, or one in five homes, would match that load. The hosts discuss grid edge computing from Lektra and Base Power's 40 kWh home batteries, which entered Illinois through the state's virtual power plant legislation.China's share of global clean manufacturing investment fell from 71% in early 2023 to 33% in Q2 2026 (Reuters). Tim asked why this counts as good news for solar. Maize under the panels produced 19.6% more dry matter than an open control plot during a drought and heat wave. The panels cut evapotranspiration by 20% (PV Magazine). A Sydney green roof ran 28 degrees Celsius cooler, and its solar outperformed a metal roof array by 11% (Renew Economy).This episode serves battery storage professionals, solar developers, clean energy investors, and policy watchers. Data center load, gas price spikes, and shifting battery demand all affect project economics right now. Tim and John give you the numbers and more.

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has decided to cancel the release of its latest agentic model Astra 6.1 because it did not meet safety standards. Rival AI firm Anthropic, meanwhile, is dedicating a large majority of its IPO prospectus to laying out the risk factors associated with AI, according to Reuters. Also in this edition: Russia adds another layer of secrecy to its energy sector and NASA reboots Boeing's struggling Starliner rocket programme.

Een verlies van 42 miljard dollar per jaar, een pakket aan uitgaven van 518 miljard dollar, 80 bladzijden aan risico's van AI voor de mensheid: het staat allemaal in de prospectus van Anthropic. Over een paar maanden moet het bedrijf de grootste beursgang ooit gaan waarmaken, maar voor nu geven ze vooral heel veel redenen waarom het een enorme flop kan worden. Is er tóch nog een reden te vinden waarom je dit aandeel wél zou willen hebben? Dat zoeken we deze aflevering uit. Daarin hebben we het ook over de toekomst van Arcadis. Tenminste, de toekomst zoals het ingenieursbureau die zelf voor zich ziet. Een met een grote ontslagronde, met de verkoop van hele afdelingen, en zelfs met overnames.

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy repasamos el reciente prospecto de Anthropic, un documento que está sacudiendo el panorama económico. La información sobre sus investigaciones y sus cuentas deja dos grandes titulares: la compañía mantiene sus ambiciosas metas de valoración, que ahora sitúa en torno a los dos billones de dólares, y vuelve a advertir sobre los peligros de la inteligencia artificial. Esa cifra superaría la de SpaceX y convertiría a la empresa en el mayor debut bursátil de la historia. Además, duplica la estimación que manejaba en mayo, cuando calculaba unos 965.000 millones de dólares. El optimismo se apoya en el crecimiento exponencial de sus ingresos durante 2025, que se multiplicaron por doce hasta alcanzar los 4.600 millones de dólares. Buena parte de ese avance procede de las descargas de Claude, con más de un millón de media el año pasado y meses en los que su ritmo de crecimiento superó al de su principal rival, ChatGPT. Sin embargo, las pérdidas también fueron considerables: 42.000 millones de dólares netos, en buena medida por un gasto de capital de 34.000 millones ligado a instrumentos de financiación que podrían convertirse en acciones, según Reuters. A ello se suma la fuerte apuesta por la IA para no perder terreno: el año pasado destinó más de 7.000 millones a computación e infraestructura, el triple que en 2024. Para 2027 contempla compromisos en la nube, computación e infraestructura superiores a los 500.000 millones, y registró una pérdida operativa de 8.000 millones, lo que reabre el debate sobre si el gasto de estas compañías es desmedido. Más allá de las cifras, el prospecto ha vuelto a inquietar al mercado con nuevas advertencias sobre la IA. La compañía sostiene que la inteligencia artificial avanzada podría suponer "riesgos catastróficos o existenciales para la humanidad", con "comportamientos de autopreservación" como "resistirse al cierre", "ocultar o manipular información" o actuar de forma "similar al chantaje".

Twenty-seven people were killed in two mass shootings in a single weekend, and the DA's Lisa Schickerling wanted to know where the police were. She told Chris Steyn why growing criminal networks had to be dismantled, and why the leadership of the private security regulator, raided by the SIU and the Hawks in a R130m training-contract probe, should have been placed on precautionary suspension to protect the process. Speaking the day after Donald Trump's 22 September address to the UN General Assembly, former Eskom grid chief Andy Calitz traced how energy infrastructure became a military target, from Ukraine's power grid to the Strait of Hormuz, and explained why the threats against Iran sent shudders down his back. Jasmine Opperman asked who was watching South Africa's spies with the Inspector-General of Intelligence suspended, and Helen Zille explained why a DA-run Joburg would look like an empty plot for months before anything rose out of the ground. Reuters rounded off with the latest from Wall Street.

Los desarrolladores de herramientas de inteligencia artificial siguen advirtiendo los riesgos que representa esta tecnología avanzada para la humanidad. OpenAI canceló el lanzamiento de su más reciente modelo por motivos de seguridad, al tiempo que se disculpó por la irrupción no autorizada en agencias del Gobierno australiano. Anthropic, por su parte, reconoció en su prospecto de salida a bolsa -conocido por Reuters- que la IA podría suponer "riesgos catastróficos para la humanidad".

The owner of ChatGPT has scrapped its latest AI model after safety concerns. OpenAI says its GPT-6.1 Astra model missed the bar, as it would've performed tasks, like browsing the web, by itself. Debate's intensifying about risks posed by the tech, with Reuters reporting rival AI company Anthropic plans to warn investors of potential existential threats. Tech commentator Oskar Howell told Ryan Bridge you can't have rogue AIs off doing what they want. He says a recent OpenAI system gained access to a number of Australian government systems, which may've prompted this roll back. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here's To Your Health with Joshua Lane with Joshua Lane Skyhorse Publishing's Censorship Fight and the Hidden Merck MMR Vaccine Report with Tony Lyons Joshua Lane talks with Skyhorse Publishing president Tony Lyons about publishing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s bestselling, heavily censored book on Anthony Fauci, then spends the second half of the hour walking through a former FDA commissioner's report on Merck's mumps vaccine and a new poll on shrinking MMR confidence. Joshua Lane Welcomes Tony Lyons Of Skyhorse Joshua Lane opens Here's To Your Health by welcoming Tony Lyons, president and publisher of Skyhorse Publishing, a house he says has placed more than one hundred titles on the New York Times bestseller list in roughly twenty years. Lane reads praise from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now Secretary of Health and Human Services, who calls Skyhorse's willingness to tackle tough issues "a critical cog in our democracy," and from Julian Lennon, son of John Lennon, who credits Lyons with giving his children's book series "the perfect home." Lane notes that Lyons is viewed as controversial in some quarters for publishing authors who question vaccination and mainstream health narratives, and asks what pushed him to found a company built around outsider voices. Lyons thanks Lane for having him on and settles in to explain his philosophy of publishing before the conversation turns to specific titles and the reaction they have drawn. Lyons On Publishing Dangerous, Disturbing Books Lyons tells Lane he was "born the kind of person who questions everything" and takes pride in publishing books other houses are afraid to touch. He argues books ought to be "dangerous and disturbing," designed to promote curiosity, skepticism and discomfort rather than simply confirm what readers already believe. Reading only to reinforce existing biases, he says, is like taking an Epsom salt bath, pleasant but pointless, while real reading should leave someone questioning their job, their habits or their whole way of living. Lyons says he feels sorry for critics who accuse Skyhorse of recklessness, arguing that publishers controlled by mainstream narratives are the ones failing readers by limiting freedom and progress. Lane, who says he regularly hosts Skyhorse's wellness authors, agrees the approach is fair and steers the conversation toward the company's biggest and most contested success, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s book about Anthony Fauci, asking Lyons directly how many copies it has sold. The Real Anthony Fauci And Its Censorship Lyons reports that The Real Anthony Fauci has sold 1.4 million copies and calls it likely the most censored book in modern history, describing how bookstores, libraries and websites refused to stock or sell it soon after release. He says Kennedy worked on the book seven days a week without pay, donating every royalty to Children's Health Defense, the nonprofit he founded, and argues that integrity built the broader movement around him despite relentless vilification in major newspapers and television. Lane adds context from Kennedy's earlier career founding Riverkeeper and cleaning up the Hudson River against General Motors, General Electric and the Army Corps of Engineers, noting Kennedy once earned praise from Time magazine. Lyons contrasts today's measles anxiety with the 1960s, when he says roughly 400 Americans died among twenty million measles cases and families held measles parties, arguing infectious disease deaths fell through sanitation and hospitals rather than vaccines alone. Kennedy's Broader Health Message And Sign-Off Lyons broadens his argument to the American health system, citing a claim from the British Medical Journal's editor that as much as forty percent of peer-reviewed science amounts to advertising for pharmaceutical products, and noting the United States spends three times more than other industrialized nations on healthcare while ranking near the bottom on outcomes. He recounts Kennedy pressing CNN anchor Dana Bash on air to produce the two hundred studies she cited proving vaccines and autism are unconnected, studies Lyons insists do not exist. He credits Kennedy's first twenty months in office with shifting public conversation on seed oils, beef tallow, ultra-processed food and the food pyramid. Lane closes the interview by referencing last week's guest, researcher William Parker, on Tylenol and autism risk, then thanks Lyons warmly for making time in a busy schedule before the two say goodbye and the show breaks for advertisements and a promo for another BBS program. Kessler Report Exposes Merck's Mumps Vaccine After the break, Lane returns alone to walk through a report from Dr. David Kessler, former FDA commissioner under both the George H. W. Bush and Clinton administrations, prepared for the Krahling v. Merck & Co. lawsuit and summarized by Children's Health Defense reporter Brenda Baletti. Lane reads Kessler's finding that Merck's MMR II mumps component lost potency before its labeled shelf life ended as early as 1998, and that rather than recalling doses, the company sought new testing methods and secretly overfilled vials with extra live virus starting in 1999 without safety or efficacy trials at the higher dose. Lane details how roughly twelve million low-potency doses reached the public regardless, how whistleblowers Stephen Krahling and a colleague identified in the transcript as Joan Wzkowski sued under the False Claims Act in 2010, and how a 2023 federal ruling dismissed the case on materiality grounds Lane says he finds hard to understand. New Poll Finds Cracks In MMR Trust In the final segment, Lane cites a new Reuters poll reported by Children's Health Defense scientist Brian Hooker showing confidence that the MMR vaccine is safe for children fell from 84 to 76 percent even as measles outbreaks made headlines in Pennsylvania, Utah and South Carolina. He notes only 19 percent of respondents approved of the administration's outbreak response, and that Senators Rand Paul and Ron Johnson stand out to him as the only lawmakers pressing the issue. Lane walks through VAERS figures showing over 95,000 adverse events and 500 deaths reported after MMR vaccination, the 2010 vaccine court award to the family of Hannah Poling, and President Trump's executive order shifting the eighteen-vaccine childhood schedule toward the eleven-vaccine European model and separating MMR into single shots. He closes by thanking listeners, inviting guest suggestions at joshlanewellness@gmail.com, and wishing everyone a healthy evening.

The BBC reports on how authorities responded to a late-night tip from a resident. A nor’easter flooded parts of the East Coast over the weekend, and Hurricane Polo is expected to make landfall in Mexico’s Baja California. USA Today reports. President Trump has cited national security to justify many of his moves, from tariffs to the White House ballroom. Reuters’s Nandita Bose describes how he’s using the justification more often than his predecessors. Plus, the White House rejected Iran’s latest proposal, Egypt reportedly warned Israel’s prime minister of an impending attack before Oct. 7, and how MLB approached the White House about hosting a game at a national park. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

He also reflects on how his pink hair has revealed different reactions and biases in people around him. Finally, Alex discusses Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and critiques translator Emily Wilson's negative assessment of the film, focusing on differing interpretations of the ancient story, its characters, and themes.

Under pompa och ståt träffas Donald Trump och Xi Jinping, men även om de tycks ha matchat sina kostymer så saknas lösningar på rivaliteten mellan de två. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Det finns gott om tvistefrågor mellan jättarna Kina och USA. På agendan på det senaste toppmötet i Washington finns den skakiga vapenvilan i handelskriget och eventuella begränsningar av AI. Och som vanligt skaver den olösta Taiwanfrågan på relationen mellan länderna.Vilka genombrott har egentligen gjorts i Vita huset och varför matchar Xi och Trump sina garderober under mötet?Medverkande: Moa Kärnstrand, Kinakorrespondent, Hanna Sahlberg, Kinareporter och Cecilia Khavar, tidigare USA-korrespondent.Programledare: Björn DjurbergProducent: Jon JeppssonKällor ljudklipp: BBC, Fox News, Reuters, ABC, AP News, CNA

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Executive Editor Natalie Orpett and Public Service Fellow Julia Curlee to talk through the week's big news in national security, including:"The Xi-Quel." This week, Chinese President Xi Jinping arrives in Washington for a three-day state visit—his first to the U.S. capital in more than a decade, and the second Trump-Xi summit of 2026 after the president's own trip to Beijing in May. The pageantry will be considerable: Trump plans to greet Xi personally at Joint Base Andrews, followed by a Rose Garden honor guard, a bilateral meeting, and a state dinner. But the substance is heavier than the ceremony. With a 90-day tariff truce set to expire on November 10, China's rare-earth export controls hanging over global supply chains, a pending $14 billion arms package for Taiwan, and questions about Beijing's economic lifeline to Iran, the two leaders face a crowded and contentious agenda. What can we actually expect from this summit? Is anyone anticipating a breakthrough—or just a managed continuation of what one analyst called a “managed stalemate”?"A Fjord in the Road." On Friday, President Trump announced that the United States, Denmark, and Greenland had reached an agreement giving Washington what he described as “permanent control over security, and all other needs” in Greenland—capping a year of tension in which Trump had repeatedly threatened to take the Arctic island by economic or even military force. Denmark and Greenland insist the deal respects Greenlandic sovereignty and territorial integrity even as it clears the way for a major expansion of the U.S. military footprint and bars adversaries like Russia and China from establishing bases or making “sensitive investments” there without U.S. approval. Does the deal really give Trump the “permanent control” he is touting? And how did a standoff that once looked like an existential crisis for a NATO ally end up here?"Contempt of Court." World leaders are gathering in New York this week for the annual high-level session of the UN General Assembly. In his speech before the body, President Trump reiterated a number of standard talking points, notably claiming to be a peacemaker even as he again threatened Iran with annihilation. But his administration may be planning something more dramatic: according to the Wall Street Journal and Reuters, the administration has drafted sanctions measures targeting the entire International Criminal Court—not just individual judges and prosecutors, as before—that could aim to cut the Hague-based tribunal off from the global financial system. The implications reach well beyond The Hague, raising hard questions about the weaponization of dollar dominance and the geoeconomic fallout for the banks, contractors, and allied governments that deal with the court. What is Washington trying to accomplish at Turtle Bay—and at what cost?In object lessons, Natalie, following in the footsteps of others before, has found a heartwarming use for AI, relatively speaking. Scott continues to nerd out over treaty law and the museums that love it.

Iran’s president told the U.N. General Assembly his country would not be bullied and would not give up its civilian nuclear program. The Wall Street Journal’s Benoit Faucon explains how the U.S. naval blockade is squeezing Iran’s economy. More than 30,000 self-declared noncitizens have been added to U.S. voter rolls since 2000. Reuters’s David Morgan explains how software glitches and clerical errors at state agencies put them there. Federal records show that at least 4.5 million people were released into the U.S. after crossing the southern border between 2018 and 2025. The Associated Press’s Elliot Spagat looks at where they settled. Plus, a hacking group claims to have stolen data on thousands of FBI agents, Xi Jinping arrived in Washington for his first state visit in over a decade, and Yellowstone has removed a record amount of trash this year.

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Barron: One of the superpowers I believe I hold is turning a vision into execution.The fight against global hunger remains one of humanity's most urgent challenges. As I discussed with Barron Segar, President and CEO of World Food Program USA, in today's episode, the dynamics have shifted over the last decade. Despite declining government funding and rising costs, Barron remains hopeful—and solutions-driven.“When I started ten years ago, hunger was on the decline,” Barron told me. “Today, we're battling wars, extreme weather events, rising costs, and decreased funding. Yet, we're proud that the U.S. remains a significant contributor while the private sector has stepped up to fill some gaps.”As the representative of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning World Food Program, Barron highlighted how the organization is navigating these changing dynamics. One of its key innovations, he noted, is leveraging partnerships and pre-positioning supplies to respond to emergencies quickly, such as recent events in Nepal and Venezuela. Still, he emphasized, war stands as the leading cause of hunger today, making humanitarian access and supply delivery increasingly difficult.Barron shared an eye-opening statistic: “Over 262 million people today are suffering acute hunger.” This growing crisis, he explained, requires extraordinary efforts and resources to reach those most in need. In war zones like Gaza, the World Food Program is averting famine and feeding hundreds of thousands daily, yet the need remains massive.While discussing hotspots like Gaza, Ukraine, Haiti, and Honduras, Barron painted a vivid picture of the struggles faced by refugees and vulnerable communities forced to flee their homes. Reflecting on his visit to the Ukraine-Poland border shortly after the conflict began, he recalled meeting displaced women, children, and even elderly individuals carrying nothing but their few belongings—and their hope.Barron's optimism remains grounded in action. He credits both resilient frontline workers and scalable, innovative solutions, including cash-based transfers to sustain functioning marketplaces. Moreover, he directed listeners to “JustServe,” a platform helping volunteers address local needs domestically, while encouraging global responsibility.This episode underscored the dire need for collaboration and creative problem-solving to combat hunger and build long-term resilience. Barron's leadership highlights how strategic partnerships and unwavering dedication can drive impactful results—even in the face of unprecedented challenges.tl;dr:Barron Segar highlighted how wars, climate events, and underfunding exacerbate global hunger challenges.Innovations like cash-based transfers and strategic pre-positioning strengthen emergency food delivery.The World Food Program USA engages both governments and private sectors to address funding gaps.Barron emphasized creating a collaborative culture while setting measurable growth goals for leadership success.Hunger relief efforts showcase the need for global and local teamwork to build long-term resilience.How to Develop Vision into Action As a SuperpowerBarron's superpower is his ability to turn vision into action. As he explained in today's episode, “One of the superpowers I believe I hold is turning a vision into execution.” He shared how his role as President and CEO of World Food Program USA requires him to not only articulate ambitious goals but also lead his team toward achieving them. Barron pointed to collaboration, measurable results, and difficult but mission-centered decisions as integral to his execution-focused leadership.One example of this superpower is Barron's plan to dramatically grow private sector funding for the organization. When he started in 2020, the World Food Program USA raised $19 million annually. This year, it will surpass $130 million, with a goal of reaching $250 million annually in the next five years. Barron emphasized measurable outcomes and strategic investments, supported by pro bono insights from the Boston Consulting Group, to drive results.Tips for Developing Vision into Action as a Superpower:Focus on creating a high-performance, collaborative culture of respect, optimism, and accountability.Set ambitious but achievable goals that push you and your team beyond your comfort zone.Communicate strategy clearly and align your resources to maximize impact.Establish measurable key performance indicators to track progress and stay focused.Be prepared to make tough decisions and accept that not everyone will always agree with you.By following Barron's example and advice, you can make vision into action a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

US equities were mixed in Thursday trading. Stocks bounced off of session lows following a Reuters report that stated that the US and Iran were exploring a phased deal to end conflict. Other areas of focus included the Trump/Xi summit, AI product discounting, and ramping buyback blackout.

President Trump renewed his threats against Iran in his address to the United Nations General Assembly. The Wall Street Journal’s Alex Ward breaks down the speech. Chinese President Xi Jinping arrives in Washington today for his first visit to the United States in three years. Reuters’s Trevor Hunnicutt explains what he and Trump want from the summit. The administration has pledged at least $410 million to more than 30 countries to accept migrants deported from the U.S. The Washington Post’s David Nakamura reports on the deals. Plus, 760,000 people are being removed from Affordable Care Act coverage, a Republican senator is pushing to subpoena Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden, and a country song broke a Billboard record. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.

The polling just keeps getting worse for the GOP. A new Reuters survey finds Donald Trump's approval at 32 percent—the worst in Reuters polling of both his terms. He's at only 73 percent among Republicans, and on cost-of-living he's at an astonishing 17 percent, both potential disasters for the GOP. This comes as a CNN poll finds voters souring on the war in unheard-of numbers. Meanwhile, panicky GOP leaks are turning into a flood: GOP operatives tell Politico that the races in North Carolina and Georgia are rapidly slipping away. Others privately admit they're badly on defense in red states and districts. One GOP operative candidly declares: “The bottom is beginning to fall out.” Is it really this bad? We talked to Morgan Jackson, the veteran North Carolina Democratic operative on Roy Cooper's Senate campaign. He explains why Trump's collapse with independents is an underappreciated story, why what's happening in North Carolina and Georgia could have major long-term political consequences, and why he still expects North Carolina to be very, very close.
