'War, sanctions and western disunity' As Russia's invasion of Ukraine is in its fourth year and efforts to pause the conflict have both intensified and become more complex, David O'Sullivan, the EU's Sanctions Envoy since January 2023, discusses the use of sanctions by the EU and others on Russia. Since the invasion in 2022, sixteen packages of sanctions have sought to prevent Russia from accessing dual-use and advanced technologies for the manufacturing of cutting-edge weapons, and to degrade Russia's ability to finance its war of aggression. Mr O'Sullivan discusses the evolution and efficacy of these measures and how the changed posture of the US vis-à-vis the conflict in recent months has affected EU sanctions policy. About the Speaker: David O'Sullivan spent most of his career, before formally retiring in 2019, in a series of senior roles at the European Commission, including Secretary-General of the European Commission; Chief Operating Officer of the European External Action Service; Director General for Trade; and Chief of Staff to Commission President, Romano Prodi. He also served as Ambassador of the European Union Delegation to the United States from November 2014 until February 2019, which included more than half of the first term of US president Donald Trump. Prior to taking up his role as EU Sanctions Envoy, David was Director General of the IIEA.

Send us a textOn Inside Geneva this week, aid agencies count the costs of funding cuts. “I am most sad for all the millions of people living with HIV and affected by HIV whose lives have been upended. They have lost access to life-saving medication. They have showed up at clinics for support, only to find no one there to help them,” says Angeli Achrekar, Deputy Executive Director for the Programme Branch at the Joint United Nations (UN) Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). The cuts are hitting women and girls especially hard.“Right now, a woman dies from a preventable form of maternal mortality every two minutes. That's unacceptable. One of the grants that the United States has just cut supports the training and salaries of midwives,” says Sarah Craven, Director of the Washington Office of UNFPA, the UN Population Fund. What will happen to local NGOs in crisis zones that relied on UN support?“I have to have hope. I am the leader of the Sudanese Red Crescent Society. I have staff and 12,000 volunteers behind me. So, I always have to be really strong and give hope to everyone to continue serving Sudan,” says Aida Al-Sayed Abdullah, Secretary General of the Sudanese Red Crescent Society.But could the cuts bring much-needed reform?“Sure, the humanitarian system isn't perfect. It can be inefficient and a little bit colonialistic at times. But it was delivering results. We were seeing actual progress. Now, in just a few months, decades of progress will be erased,” says Dorian Burkhalter, SWI swissinfo.ch journalist.Or will the cuts cost lives and cause more crisis?“We're so close to ending AIDS, full stop. Now, we could very well be turning back completely. All those years of work, dedication and progress,” says Achrekar.Get in touch!

In this episode of Trumanitarian, recorded on the sidelines of the Center for Humanitarian Leadership Conference in Doha, host Lars Peter Nissen sits down with two sector heavyweights: Sofía Sprechmann, former Secretary General of CARE International, and Amitabh Behar, Executive Director of Oxfam International. Together, they confront some of the humanitarian sector's most uncomfortable truths.The aid sector is full of elephants—entrenched power dynamics, outdated models of partnership, performative reform, and organizations that may simply be too big to change. This conversation takes those challenges head by examining the Pledge for Change, a joint commitment by major INGOs to decolonize aid through equitable partnerships, ethical storytelling, and systemic transformation.But the discussion also goes deeper—into the contradictions of leading large organizations while trying to dismantle the very systems that sustain them.

For Episode 72, host Pierre Ferland sits down with Dr. Ignacio Sánchez Recarte, Secretary General of the Comité Européen des Entreprises Vins (CEEV), and a key voice behind VitæVino—a grassroots campaign defending wine culture and the idea that a glass of wine can be more than just alcohol in a fancy glass. Together, they uncork a lively and important conversation about what many are calling the “war on wine.” They break down the shaky science behind studies like the 2018 Lancet report, the confusing way risk statistics are used, and the growing trend of lumping wine in with truly harmful substances like asbestos and radiation. Yes, that's actually happening. Dr. Sánchez Recarte explains why wine should be seen as a cultural and agricultural product—something rooted in tradition, community, and moderation. The episode dives into topics like gut health, the J-curve, changing public policies, media messaging, and why we need a more balanced, fact-based approach to the conversation around wine and health. Whether you're in the wine trade, a fan of good food and drink, or just curious about what's behind the headlines, this episode will give you plenty to think—and maybe drink—about.

Thank you. This is Renegade Files Episode 81, The Brooklyn Bridge UFO Abduction. The Brooklyn Bridge UFO Abduction takes us to the big apple to investigate a story that starts out strange, gets stranger, then goes into the bizarre. The cast of characters is extraordinary and includes an unassuming 40-year old mom, a famous New York artist, two Men-In-Black type agents, and a Secretary General to the United Nations. This story received a large amount of attention in New York City and was eventually the subject of a Netflix documentary called, “Manhattan Alien Abduction”. The story has also been covered on The Why Files Podcast and by Kit and Rory on their podcast: This Paranormal Life, and several more.  A lot of times I'll pass on certain subjects if others have covered them well already, but for some reason I kept coming back to this one.  When I started looking into this case I was fascinated by some of the details and events so I decided to dive deeper, and that's how I ended up making this episode … so come with me to New York City and together we will fly up the blue beam of light into the mothership and investigate The Brooklyn Bridge UFO Abduction. Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/Visit and Share the Website http://therenegadefiles.comDig us on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@renegadefiles  Follow RF on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/renegadefiles/  If you like the show, please leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you think we deserve it.

Two Supreme Court rulings will impact critical Trump Administration deportation cases. First, the court allowed the White House to continue using the Alien Enemies Act, which gives them sweeping wartime authority to rapidly deport alleged gang members. In a second case, the Court extended a deadline for returning Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia from a Venezuelan prison back to the US.  Gregg Nunziata, a veteran of the conservative legal movement, joins the show to discuss the implications of these rulings.  Also on today's show: Jan Egeland, Secretary General, Norwegian Refugee Council; Dr. Tom Frieden, Former Director, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  Learn more about your ad choices.

This week I was delighted to sit down with Ann Molin, CEO & Secretary General of Hack for Earth, for an in-depth conversation on how citizen-led innovation can tackle global challenges. Ann, a psychologist by training, first fell in love with hackathons while working on the Swedish Government's Hack for Sweden initiative, where she realized that bringing people together to solve open-data challenges could spark powerful, real-world solutions in record time. During our conversation, Ann explained how the Hack for Earth foundation evolved from this initial passion, scaling up to engage over 25,000 participants across 125 countries in building tools aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. She emphasized that these events aren't just about brainstorming; they're about bolstering projects after the hackathon ends. Ann's key insight was that sustainable innovation demands an ongoing acceleration program—complete with the leadership support and psychological safety needed for meaningful impact. We also discussed the Nordic countries' tremendous success in both innovation and sustainability. Ann pointed out how a strong social framework, combined with a flat organizational culture, empowers individuals to take risks without fear of failure. She described the critical role of storytelling in uniting groups around environmental goals, noting that the most memorable ideas emerge when empathy, narrative, and relationships intertwine. One of my favorite takeaways was Ann's passionate stance on action trumping endless research. While reading and learning have their place, she believes we can't just wait around if we want to drive change. If you're curious about the psychology behind hackathons, the importance of genuine follow-through, or how the Nordic approach to collaboration might help solve today's toughest challenges, you won't want to miss our conversation. Let me know what you think!

Surfing the MASH Tsunami continues its coverage of the AASLD Emerging Trends Conference on MASLD, MetALD and ALD. This week, the panelists focus on what studies on bariatric surgery and drugs in development can tell us about future treatment and explore some clinical trial questions. Guest Surfers include Professor Aleksander Krag of the University of Southern Denmark, the current Secretary-General of EALS, hepatologist Alexander Lalos of Robert Wood Johnson hospital, and Jenn Leigh Jones, founder of the Society for Sober Livers Survival, now part of the Fatty Liver Foundation. Aleksander Krag starts by discussing a presentation on what we can learn from bariatric surgery in terms of fibrosis reduction and why pharmacotherapies work (or not). He envisions a day where we have multiple treatment options and understanding how each works for specific types of patients, leading to robust, cost-effective, patient-specific treatment algorithms.  Alex Lalos describes how presentations on FGF-21s in advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis have whetted his appetite and Jenn Jones asks questions regarding ALD patient trial selection and assignment and clinical endpoints for cirrhosis trials.

Youtube link: https://youtu.be/nqSKd_JsrEo?si=CFAZyu69trUVxwRJ Former State Department employee and Secretary General of the Jordanian Opposition Coalition, Dr. Mudar Zahran, accuses Jordan's King Abdullah of "apartheid" against its (Arab) Palestinians who comprise 78% of British Mandated Palestine. Dr. Zahran cited Jordanian law which confirms that all refugees from Gaza are indeed Jordanian citizens, yet they are deprived of many jobs and government positions. In Jordan, according to Dr. Zahran, Palestinians are given a special stamp in their passports to distinguish them as NOT being Jordanian, further evidence, according to Zahran, that Jordan is an apartheid state. Zahran said that antisemitism in the West Bank/Judea and Samaria is at record levels, and that if given the opportunity, they would commit greater atrocities against the Jews than Hamas did on October 7. He went on to say that following October 7, "sadly, I've never seen my people happier... in the West Bank." He believes it would take 20-30 years to undo all the damage and indoctrination infecting these people. While trying to draw a distinction between the Arabs in Gaza versus the Arabs under the PA, he said that many Gazans voted for Hamas, not only because they believed Hamas would "get rid of the Jews," but that they would end the corruption of the PA. What they got in the end was Israel standing stronger than ever, and living under a Hamas that was more corrupt than the PA. During the interview, Zahran was emphatic, that barring another "pandemic," President Trump would be the President to end that Arab/Israeli conflict. Alan Skorski Reports 02APR2025 - PODCAST

There's motion in the Caribbean region. The area is known for its constant movement of people, businesses, and services across national borders. Whether for work, trade, or social reasons, citizens routinely engage in cross-border exchanges. Interoperability, as a consequence, becomes a prerequisite and enabler of these (and further) exchanges.  Rodney Taylor, Secretary-General of the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU), and Heiko Vainsalu, Senior Expert at the e-Governance Academy, join us in this podcast episode to explore how facilitating such exchange extends beyond matters of technology. Rather, it is a natural step to translate existing patterns of movement and collaboration into the digital space.

Deep sea mining: what happened in 2024? You need to know about the industry activity that occurred in 2024. The was a leadership change in the International Seabed Authority (ISA), Norway was going to explore deep sea mining, but didn't, and why my guest, Dr. Andrew Thaler won't sign on to approved deep sea mining as it is written. In the podcast episode, host Andrew Lewin and Dr. Andrew Thaler discuss significant developments in the deep sea mining industry throughout 2024. Here are the key activities and events highlighted: Norway's Exploration Plans: At the beginning of 2024, Norway announced plans to issue exploration permits for deep sea mining of inactive hydrothermal vents in its national waters. This decision surprised many, given Norway's strong environmental stance. However, by December 2024, due to political negotiations and pressure from smaller parties in parliament, Norway scrapped these plans. International Seabed Authority (ISA) Leadership Change: A major shift occurred with the election of Letitia Carvalho as the new Secretary General of the ISA, replacing Michael Lodge, who had been pro-mining. Carvalho, an oceanographer and former UNEP official, is expected to bring a more science-based and environmentally conscious approach to the ISA's negotiations and policies regarding deep sea mining. Ongoing Negotiations: The ISA has been working on a unitary mining code that covers all types of deep sea mining, including polymetallic nodule mining, hydrothermal vent mining, and seamount mining. Dr. Thaler expressed concerns that this approach could allow the worst forms of mining to proceed alongside potentially less harmful practices. Environmental Concerns: The episode emphasizes the environmental implications of deep sea mining, particularly the irreversible damage that could result from mining hydrothermal vents, which are unique ecosystems. The discussion also touches on the potential for new research, such as the "dark oxygen" study, which suggests that polymetallic nodules may play a role in oxygen production in deep sea environments. Geopolitical Factors: The episode highlights the geopolitical motivations behind deep sea mining, particularly for countries like the U.S., which is looking to secure access to critical minerals amid tensions with China. This has led to discussions about refining polymetallic nodules in the U.S. to enhance resource independence. Technological Advancements: Dr. Thaler notes that advancements in battery technology, such as solid-state and sodium batteries, may reduce the demand for metals sourced from deep sea mining, potentially impacting the industry's future viability. Overall, 2024 was a tumultuous year for deep sea mining, marked by significant political shifts, ongoing debates about environmental impacts, and evolving technological landscapes.
