Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. ToI founding editor David Horovitz joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As the US and Iran continue talks regarding a permanent deal, Horovitz says the regime feels it has established control over the Strait of Hormuz and views the US as vulnerable. Horovitz discusses the deal-making tendencies of Trump, a way of thinking that ultimately worked in favor of the Hamas hostage deal, but is harder to achieve with the dilemmas in Iran, with Hezbollah in Lebanon and with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Following Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's recent comment that former prime minister Naftali Bennett’s decision to include the Islamist Ra’am party in his 2021-2022 government was far worse than the governmental failures tied to Hamas’s October 7, 2023, onslaught, Horovitz comments on the level of political hostility and the absence of empathy among Netanyahu's government for all the bereaved Israelis and hostage families. Finally, Horovitz reflects on the recent Golders Green stabbing attack, an iteration of the antisemitic attacks happening all over the Jewish diaspora, and how the British government has handled the situation.

Mick Fox (2:19 marathoner) and Matt Fox (2:18 marathoner) return with episode 4 of the Fastest Fox series. They break down Jimmy Gressier's 12:51 European 5K record, the rise of Kiprun and Decathlon's premium ambitions, and the growing pressure Chinese running shoe brands could place on the major Western companies.

That result leads into a broader discussion about Kiprun as Decathlon's more premium performance sub-brand, and how Decathlon appears to be repositioning itself from a budget reputation toward greater credibility in serious running. From there, the conversation expands into the wider running shoe market. Mick and Matt compare the pricing, branding, and marketing power of major Western companies like Nike, Adidas, and ASICS with the growing presence of Chinese brands based near Hong Kong and mainland China, including Li-Ning, Anta, 361 Degrees, Xtep, and smaller online names like Diner Fish. They argue that some of these brands are already producing shoes with performance levels that appear comparable to the established giants, but at significantly lower prices. The episode explores why those Chinese brands still face major barriers despite strong product development. Trust, brand perception, and global distribution remain the biggest hurdles, but Mick and Matt discuss how that could change quickly if more athletes, creators, and consumers begin taking the products seriously. They also examine how marketing can create the illusion of premium value, and why Western brands may eventually face real pressure on pricing if cheaper high-performance alternatives continue to improve. They also touch on Hugo Fry switching from Boston to the London Marathon, with some speculation around whether Jake Barlow's apparent illness or injury may have influenced that shift. As the episode progresses, the discussion becomes broader and more reflective, moving into topics like validation-seeking, overanalysing data, and the tendency for runners to overcomplicate training. Mick and Matt argue for a more grounded approach to both coaching and self-improvement, emphasizing accountability, simplicity, and consistency over chasing endless metrics or external approval. They discuss how social media can distort expectations around training, identity, and progress, and why sharing the journey still matters when it is done honestly. The episode closes with Mick describing a run with his coach, a humble two-time Olympic marathoner, which leads into a final conversation around perspective, mentorship, sponsors, and missed opportunities in the sport. It is another wide-ranging Fastest Fox episode blending current events, shoe industry insight, and honest reflections on running culture.

On a warm spring afternoon in the northeastern United States, a walk through tall grass can feel harmless, even restorative. Yet hidden in the undergrowth is a growing public health concern that few people recognize by name. The Powassan virus is rare, but it is dangerous, and its quiet rise is reshaping how scientists think about tick borne disease, climate change, and neurological illness. In a recent review published in the journal Virulence, researchers Manpreet Kaur, Monica Adam, and Prof. Megan Mladinich Valenti bring together decades of scattered research to tell the evolving story of this virus and the risks it poses.

The Silent Threat Women Face Heart disease remains the number one killer of women in America, yet nearly half of all women fail to recognize it as their greatest health threat. During a recent Community Health episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Dr. April Shewmake, a board-certified interventional cardiologist at Winchester Cardiology and Vascular Medicine I Valley Health, to uncover the truth about cardiovascular health. What emerged was a compelling conversation that challenges common misconceptions and empowers listeners to take control of their heart health. Understanding the Specialist's Perspective Dr. Shewmake brings a unique dual expertise to her practice. As an interventional cardiologist, she treats heart attack emergencies in the catheterization lab using minimally invasive procedures to open blocked arteries. However, she emphasizes that general cardiology—the preventive side of her work—plays an equally vital role. "Before things become an emergency or a heart attack," she explains, "that's the general cardiology piece." This preventive approach focuses on long-term care, diagnostic imaging, and medication management to stop heart disease before it starts. The Prevention Paradox Perhaps the most striking revelation from the conversation centers on prevention. According to Dr. Shewmake, between 70 and 90 percent of heart disease is entirely preventable. This statistic transforms heart health from a matter of fate into one of choice. The key lies in daily habits that many people overlook: maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, controlling blood pressure, managing stress, getting adequate sleep, and remaining tobacco-free. Nevertheless, Dr. Shewmake acknowledges that genetics do play a role. Some patients develop heart disease despite doing everything right. This reality underscores why awareness and early detection remain crucial, even for those who maintain healthy lifestyles. Recognizing the Warning Signs When it comes to identifying potential heart problems, Dr. Shewmake urges people to pay attention to specific symptoms. The major warning signs include chest pressure, shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, and pain radiating to the jaw, arms, or back. Critically, symptoms that appear during physical exertion and improve with rest signal early-stage heart disease. Furthermore, Dr. Shewmake dispels the Hollywood myth that distinguishes heart attacks from indigestion. In reality, many people—particularly young adults and women—delay seeking treatment because they assume their symptoms indicate simple indigestion. Women especially tend to experience atypical presentations, manifesting nausea and shortness of breath rather than classic chest pain. "Don't delay," she insists. "If you think something's wrong, come to the hospital." The 911 Rule Dr. Shewmake reinforces a critical safety message: never drive yourself to the hospital if you suspect a heart attack. Instead, call 911 immediately. Emergency medical services can begin life-saving treatment en route, significantly improving outcomes. This advice echoes the guidance of other cardiologists and represents a consensus among heart specialists. Women's Unique Risk Profile The conversation takes a deeper dive into the specific challenges women face regarding heart disease. Dr. Shewmake reveals that nearly 45 percent of women over age 20 have cardiovascular disease, yet less than half recognize this reality. Heart disease kills more women than all cancers—including breast cancer—combined, claiming one in three female lives. Moreover, women face distinct risk factors that men do not encounter. Hormonal changes during menopause, pregnancy-related complications, and autoimmune conditions all contribute to cardiovascular risk. Additionally, women often present with symptoms later in life but develop more complex disease. The medical community sometimes dismisses women's symptoms, compounding the problem. The Caregiver's Dilemma Janet raises an important point about women's tendency to prioritize others' health over their own. Women rush their husbands and children to the doctor at the first sign of trouble, yet they dismiss their own symptoms as minor inconveniences. Dr. Shewmake validates this observation and emphasizes the need to close the gap in how heart disease gets recognized and treated in women. She advocates for reframing primary care visits as self-care—an hour dedicated to one's own wellbeing. Using the airplane oxygen mask analogy, she reminds women that they must take care of themselves first to remain available for their families. The Rising Threat to Young Adults Alarmingly, cardiovascular disease increasingly affects younger populations. Dr. Shewmake shares that her youngest female heart attack patient was 38, while her youngest male patient was just 30. Janet recounts the tragic story of her son's two high school friends—both in their early thirties—who died from heart attacks within three months. This trend stems from rising cardiovascular risk factors among young people, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol appearing at earlier ages. Additionally, genetics likely play a stronger role in these younger cases. Young adults often assume they're invincible, delaying treatment when symptoms appear. This dangerous mindset can prove fatal. Know Your Numbers Throughout the conversation, Dr. Shewmake repeatedly emphasizes the importance of knowing four critical numbers: cholesterol, blood pressure, BMI, and blood sugar. These metrics serve as early warning indicators for heart disease risk. She encourages everyone to discuss these numbers with their primary care physician and take action when they fall outside healthy ranges. Importantly, all these risk factors respond to treatment. Modern medicine offers excellent options for managing weight, cholesterol, and blood sugar. Some newer weight-loss medications not only help patients shed pounds and lower A1C levels but also provide cardiovascular benefits. These treatments represent powerful tools in the fight against heart disease. The Technology Trap When Janet mentions the false sense of security that fitness trackers provide, Dr. Shewmake agrees wholeheartedly. While devices like the Apple Watch offer some benefits, they cannot replace a comprehensive medical evaluation. No wearable technology can measure cholesterol levels, assess blood glucose, or provide the nuanced analysis that comes from a conversation with a healthcare provider. The Path Forward Dr. Shewmake welcomes referrals from primary care physicians when patients need specialized cardiovascular assessment. She sees many patients who request consultations even when their primary care doctors deem it unnecessary, and she views these visits as valuable opportunities for in-depth risk evaluation. Cardiologists can order specialized tests and provide individualized guidance that goes beyond population-level statistics. Breaking the Biggest Myth As the conversation concludes, Dr. Shewmake tackles the most dangerous misconception about heart disease: that it primarily affects men. While society recognizes heart attacks as the leading killer of men, this awareness doesn't extend to women. This gap in understanding costs lives. Her final message centers on empowerment. She urges everyone—especially women—to listen to their bodies, take symptoms seriously, and advocate for themselves when they know something feels wrong. Heart disease may be common, but it remains both preventable and treatable. Early action saves lives, and awareness changes everything. The Simple Truth Ultimately, Dr. Shewmake's message boils down to simple, actionable steps: eat well, move more, manage stress, get enough sleep, know your numbers, and remain tobacco-free. These everyday habits make a profound difference in cardiovascular health. Combined with regular medical care and self-advocacy, they form a powerful defense against America's leading cause of death. The conversation serves as both a wake-up call and a roadmap. Heart disease doesn't discriminate, but knowledge and action provide protection. By recognizing symptoms early, understanding personal risk factors, and prioritizing preventive care, individuals can take control of their heart health and potentially add years to their lives.

A week after a lenient sentence in a plot to murder a Republican‑appointed Supreme Court justice, another left‑wing attacker shows up with a manifesto and 200+ explosive devices outside a Red Mass. In this episode we trace the pattern — shootings at newsrooms, bomb plots at public religious events, violent confrontations at motorcades, and juries and judges who seem to treat left‑wing attackers differently. From Portland's streets to Asheville and Washington, D.C., we ask: when courts, prosecutors, and local officials consistently fail to hold violent offenders accountable, who protects ordinary citizens and public figures? Tune in for a fast, unflinching breakdown of the incidents, courtroom decisions, and the rising fear that a two‑tier system of justice is empowering political violence.
A new NPR/Marist poll reveals a dramatic surge in Americans who believe political violence may be necessary — now at 30%, up 11 points since April 2024. Even more alarming, 28% of Democrats say violence is acceptable, with over 50% of young adults aged 18–29 agreeing. In this episode, we break down the numbers, explore the role of left-wing cities in enabling violent actors like Antifa, and examine recent incidents in Portland where police inaction has emboldened extremists. We also discuss how law enforcement and federal authorities, including Trump's interventions, are responding to restore order. This is a critical conversation about the growing threat of domestic unrest and the consequences of political polarization.
7OH is a new drug that has showed itself to be highly addictive for many people, yet it's perfectly legal in most places, there's no regulation for it, and many people start on it with no idea of what they are getting into.

Kira and Casey discuss all the ins and outs of 7OH and what we are doing to help further research about it.
Trigger warning: discussion of political violence and campus unrest. In this episode we unpack a blistering take on what's happening on college campuses — from controversial Clemson faculty and alleged calls to violence, to a decades-long archive of clashes between leftist activists and conservative student groups like Turning Point USA. Using recovered headlines, on-the-ground accounts, and a private research archive, the host pieces together a narrative about how campus rhetoric can spill into real danger — and asks whether university leadership is doing enough to protect students and accountability. Expect a fast, opinionated deep dive: examples of campus mob violence, claims about institutional tolerance of extremist speech, the mechanics behind the host's research archive, and a pointed call for action aimed at university administrators. This is for listeners who want an outspoken, unapologetic look at free speech, campus culture wars, and why the debate matters for public safety.
Today's episodes dive deep into the escalating threat of left-wing extremism, the mainstreaming of political violence, and the alarming cultural shifts in America. From disturbing polls showing a sizable percentage of liberals who justify violence, to the celebration of Charlie Kirk's assassination and harassment of conservatives, we uncover the dangerous trends that are largely ignored—or covered up—by the media. We examine real-world examples: antifa attacks on ICE agents, radicalized students and faculty, targeted harassment of conservative families, and left-wing activists pushing violence as a norm. High-profile cases, including campus protests and social media incitement, reveal a coordinated, widespread threat that demands awareness and action. The episode also contrasts conservative civility with leftist extremism, highlighting the importance of accountability, lawful responses, and standing firm for free speech. With insights from J.D. Vance and others, we explore how to confront this culture of violence while protecting truth and justice in a deeply divided America. This is a wake-up call to recognize the danger, push back responsibly, and ensure the safety of communities and the integrity of American values.

A new research study from UK fintech startup Nuke From Orbit, highlights a sharp rise in smartphone theft across the country and the growing impact on how people use their devices. As thefts soar and public trust in police and tech providers declines, the findings point to a security crisis that is reshaping digital habits for millions of Britons. According to the study, which surveyed 1,000 UK adults (18 years and above), 29% have now experienced phone theft, up from 17% just a year ago. The surge is fuelling widespread anxiety and has started prompting consumers (5% or greater) to scale back their use of mobile banking, email, social media and digital wallets. The findings reveal a nation struggling with digital vulnerability. 67% of consumers say they are most concerned about unauthorised access to their bank cards or accounts, underlining the financial risks of losing a smartphone. Despite this concern, 34% of users still rely on the same or similar PINs for multiple apps and to unlock their devices - a risky behaviour that continues to undermine security efforts. "The findings are deeply worrying," said James O'Sullivan, CEO of Nuke From Orbit. "In the past 18 months, we've seen a perfect storm: thefts are rising, personal security is lacking, and users are stuck in risky habits. It's unacceptable that nearly one in three people have had their phone stolen. The current solutions - and the police response - simply do not match the scale of the problem." Everyday phone habits are also contributing to increased theft risk. Nearly half of respondents (47%) say they use their phones in public several times a day - a figure that rises to 71% among 18-25-year-olds, making them easy targets for opportunistic thieves. This visibility, especially on public transport or in busy urban areas, significantly increases the likelihood of theft. Yet many victims are reluctant to report the crime. The research shows that those who have not experienced phone theft are almost three times more likely to report it than those who have, indicating a breakdown in trust and expectations around police intervention. Public opinion is divided on who should take responsibility for improving smartphone security. While 44% believe phone manufacturers should lead the charge, 30% say the onus is on users themselves. Interestingly, those who have never had their phone stolen are nearly three times more likely to report theft than those who have - suggesting that personal experience often leads to disillusionment. A Call for Urgent Action Nuke From Orbit is calling for stronger, more coordinated action on smartphone safety. The Rising Threat of Smartphone Theft: Consumer Behaviour and Security Challenges report highlights the need for improved consumer education, closer collaboration between tech providers and law enforcement and more integrated security solutions to better protect users and their data. CEO James O'Sullivan has been actively engaging with stakeholders, from meeting with officials at Downing Street to working alongside ethical hackers to identify system vulnerabilities, pushing for faster progress across the sector. "We need to shift how we approach smartphone safety," added O'Sullivan. "With greater awareness and stronger protections, we can reduce the impact of this growing threat and help prevent it altogether." See more stories here.

Since October 7, Israeli researchers and faculty have felt the chilling effects of a flourishing global boycott movement. In a shift that's taken hold at high levels of American academia, Israeli scholars and universities have been barred from conferences, squeezed out of research grants, and cut out of collaboration with colleagues around the world. Is there a way out of this mess? On Thursday, December 5, SAPIR editor-in-chief Bret Stephens interviewed Netta Barak-Corren, the Haim H. Cohn Chair in Human Rights Law at the Hebrew University's School of Law and Ronald R. Krebs, Distinguished McKnight University Professor and a professor of political science at the University of Minnesota to discuss the dangerous normalization of academic boycotts and which forces in the American university are fighting back.
On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," David Harsanyi, Washington Examiner senior writer, joins The Federalist's Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss the dangers of "Blue-Anon." While the left has smeared conservatives and those on the right as radical conspiracy theorists or members of "Q-Anon," there is a growing trend on the left that peddles fake news to the masses, distorts reality, and seeks to take down anyone who thinks or says otherwise.

Dr. Sam Lee, Co-CEO of Cocrystal Pharma, is an expert in developing small-molecule antiviral drugs to treat COVID-19, Norovirus, influenza, avian flu, West Nile virus, Dengue, Zika, and other RNA viruses. Cocrystal uses its structure-based drug discovery platform to identify promising drug targets for potent broad-spectrum oral and inhaled antiviral therapeutics. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for vaccines and effective therapeutics to respond to viral outbreaks and prevent further transmission. Sam elaborates, "Before we talk about avian flu, let's just step back up about the strains. Influenza, as you know, includes influenza A strains, influenza B, and the C. But the public health point of view is the influenza A strains are important. These cause the pandemic flu, as well as the seasonal flu. Influenza B is roughly less than 20% of flu patients that have this influenza B. It's seasonal. It doesn't cause a pandemic influenza infection." "So we're talking about avian flu. Avian flu is mostly an influenza A strain. So, it's often classified as H5N1 or H7N9, depending on the antigen. So, why is it so important? We know this year that people isolate the avian H5N1 from cow and cow milk and humans. Avian flu is normally avian influenza that stays with the birds, the wild birds. What we see here is already past the host barrier. So instead of staying with avian, the birds, or domestic animals, now it's passed to a human. So it's a serious issue that the avian flu, H5N1, actually we see here, not only cow and farm workers are infected with it. That's a really serious concern." "We believe we have a pretty good understanding. If you look at the 1918 Spanish flu, that was actually classified as an H1N1, but several years ago, with a beautiful molecular analysis, people completed the sequencing analysis with the patient sample from 1918 Spanish flu victims. They isolated the gene. They showed that even those with H1N1 contained the avian flu sequence." #CocrystalPharma #AvianFlu #Influenza #WestNileVirus #AntiviralTherapeutics #RNAViruses #COVID19 CocrystalPharma.com Listen to the podcast here

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Alex Hinton explore the potential for genocide in the U.S., highlighting historical and contemporary atrocities. Dr. Hinton emphasizes that genocide can target groups based on social constructs such as race, gender, and sexuality, among others. They discuss the rise of white supremacism and hate speech, and Dr. Hinton identifies risk factors such as political upheaval, economic instability, and armed militias. Dr.Hinton also stresses the importance of critical thinking and depolarization to prevent genocide, and suggests an easy way for everyone to do so without committing 40 hours per week to stay abreast of all of the issues and topics. Key Takeaways: Genocide and mass violence are not typically planned from the beginning. They often evolve from other behaviors stemming from upheaval and past atrocities, scapegoating, grievance, and legitimation of formed hierarchies. Hate speech is everywhere—left, right, and center. Wherever someone is on the political spectrum, they can agree it's bad. The problem is that people sometimes disagree about what constitutes it. People are busy. Trying to keep informed can be a full-time job. One little thing everyone can do pretty easily to begin to do this in general, as we enter the political cycle, just pick a left-leaning, more centrist, and right-leaning news media source then on the top of the hour, turn on the TV, and flip between them and see the headlines. "Ideology is central to all genocides, in some sense. Ideologies provide legitimation to disempower groups, and to legitimate different forms of hierarchy within a society and in the extreme. That then lays the basis for saying that groups are inferior." — Dr. Alex Hinton Episode References: We Charge Genocide - The 1951 Black Lives Matter Campaign: https://depts.washington.edu/moves/CRC_genocide.shtml 2019 Citizenship Amendment Act: https://www.uscirf.gov/resources/factsheet-citizenship-amendment-act-india Connect with Dr. Alex Hinton: Professional Bio: https://sasn.rutgers.edu/alex-hinton Twitter: https://x.com/AlexLHinton Center for the Study of Genocide & Human Rights: https://x.com/Rutgers_CGHR Check out Dr. Hinton's writings mentioned in this episode: It Can Happen Here: White Power and the Rising Threat of Genocide in the US: https://www.amazon.com/Can-Happen-Here-Rising-Genocide-ebook/dp/B08L9JHRN6 Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Alex Hinton discuss the complexities of genocide, its definitions, and the role of perpetrators. Dr. Hinton gives us the conventional, legal, and social scientific definitions of genocide and gives examples of how these affect the legal battles and social impact of different incidents, highlighting the Khmer Rouge mass killings in Cambodia. They also discuss the moral and legal implications of perpetrators and why none of us can be complacent in our understanding of genocide. Key Takeaways: There are three main definitions of genocide. Most recognize it as mass deaths, often perpetrated by a state figure. The UN legal definition requires intent. And the social scientific definition expands beyond the UN definition. While genocide is an atrocity, not all atrocities are genocides. Similarly, not all mass murders are genocides. When legally looking at the genocide perpetrators, the courts typically go after the architects and lower-level individuals are often brought in as witnesses. However, the question of who the perpetrators are is a moral and ethical question still being debated. Education is key - the dynamics that gave rise to Auschwitz are all around us and we are all part of them. We must be self-critical, reflexive people as a first step to make sure that we don't have a recurrence. "It's a potentiality that exists for ourselves and for our societies. You know, it's not comfortable. Many people will say ‘no,' but that's the starting point of prevention, because only when you have that realization can you effectively begin to take action to stop genocide from taking place." — Dr. Alex Hinton Episode References: Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland by Christopher R.

With the EU elections on the horizon, one party in Greece, Greek Solution, is seeing a notable surge in support. The rise of this far right nationalist party also mirrors broader trends in the far right across Europe, and many are beginning to ask whether this resurgent far-right is here to stay. Dr. Georgios Samaras, an assistant professor of public policy at King's College London, joins Thanos Davelis to look into the rise of Greek Solution and its leader Kostas Velopoulos, breaking down what this could mean for Greek politics ahead of European elections in June.Read Dr. Georgios Samaras' latest piece in Kathimerini: The Greek far-right – a rising threat in the EU election stormYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:NATO to plan long-term Ukraine aid, mulls 100-billion euro fundNATO ministers' doubts, fears and eye-rolls over €100B Ukraine planTurkey's election authority reinstates pro-Kurdish mayoral election winner
