The US military used AI tools for real-time targeting in its strikes on Iran. On this week's On the Media, what recent conflicts can tell us about AI-powered weapons and the dangerous future of warfare. Plus, lessons on democratic resilience from around the world. [01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone interviews Siva Vaidhyanathan about how the U.S. military is using artificial intelligence in its strikes on Iran, and what can be gleaned from recent conflicts about the state of AI-powered warfare. Plus, what does accountability for war mean when AI is involved? Brooke also hears from Alan Rozenshtein, Senior Editor at Lawfare, about the Trump administration's pressure campaign on AI company Anthropic. [33:45] Brooke sits down with Zack Beauchamp, senior correspondent at Vox, to talk about why he got fed up reporting on “democratic backsliding,” and decided to instead investigate “democratic resilience”— and what lessons exist for Americans around the world.

Jan Jekielek, Senior Editor at The Epoch Times and host of American Thought Leaders, joins the program to discuss his latest book and investigative research into state-linked organ trafficking originating out of China. Drawing from years of reporting, survivor testimony, and on-the-ground investigation, Jekielek documents evidence of industrial-scale organ harvesting and examines how centralized, unaccountable power structures make such practices possible. We also explore the broader backdrop often left out of the conversation: the global longevity race. As elite institutions and state-backed initiatives pursue life extension and ambitions of dramatically increasing human lifespan, we examine how the drive to push biological limits can intersect with ethical collapse when power is centralized and human beings become utilitarian assets. At the center of this discussion is what Jekielek calls the science of evil — how systemic harm emerges not from caricature villains, but through ideology, incentives, bureaucratic normalization, and personality profiles that thrive within highly centralized systems. What conditions allow ordinary actors to participate in extraordinary harm? We expand the lens beyond China. From the Epstein blackmail operation to Canada's expanding MAID program, we discuss why no society is immune when accountability erodes and incentives override human dignity.You can purchase Jan's new book, Killed to Order, at https://www.amazon.com/Killed-Order-Harvesting-Industry-Adversary/dp/1510786503See exclusives and more at https://SarahWestall.Substack.com

Mel and Hannah are back, and there’s a new mini in town! Hannah catches us up on baby Mila and newborn life. This week’s episode covers everything from red carpet glam to peeling heels, so strap in.First up, we’re talking cracked heels. You know that thick, dry heel skin that no amount of body lotion can fix? Hannah’s figured out how to get rid of it, but Mel also has some historically excellent (and gross) tools for anyone who gets weird satisfaction out of bits of dead skin coming off their feet. We break down what actually works on stubborn hard skin, how to avoid overdoing it (because yes, you absolutely can) and the one method that really delivers.Then, the ladies are joined by makeup artist and Senior Editor at Fashion Journal, Lara Daly, who has been perfecting her recreation of the 'Nina Park Lip'. If you’ve been watching red carpets lately and wondering why everyone from Emma Stone to Jessie Buckley’s lips look softly blurred, perfectly lined, but not overdone? That’s thanks to Hollywood makeup artist Nina Park. Lara tells us the secret to that diffused, pillowy lip finish, why precise liner placement matters more than overlining, and the skin-first approach that makes the whole look feel modern. Plus, does it work for everyday, not just the red carpet?And Mel finally puts the internet-famous K18 AirWash Dry Shampoo to the test. After blowing up on social media with claims it’s “not like other dry shampoos”, Mel gives her honest, unfiltered verdict: Does it actually absorb oil? Does it leave buildup? Is it worth the price tag? And who will love it — and who should skip it?Thank you to Lara Daly from Fashion Journal for joining us! Everything mentioned: Dermal Therapy Heel Balm Platinum Cerave SA Renewing Foot Cream K18 Airwash Dry Shampoo Send us your tips, tricks, questions and feedback at @adorebeauty on IG.Join the conversation in our Beauty IQ Uncensored Facebook Group to discuss this episode, swap beauty tips, and submit your questions for future shows.Credits: Hosts: Hannah Furst and Melissa Mason Producer: Melissa Mason For more beauty insights and exclusive offers, visit adorebeauty.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An impasse is coming to a head. The resolution is unknown. The Department of Defense has made clear that Anthropic has until 5:01pm ET today, February 27th, 2026, to permit its use of Claude for any lawful purpose. CEO Dario Amodei doubled down on his insistence that Anthropic tools should not be used for mass domestic surveillance or the operation of lethal autonomous weapons. The Pentagon's Spokesman agrees that such usage would indeed be unlawful and yet, the two parties cannot come to terms. If the DOD is to be taken at its word, the likely result is that Anthropic will be labled as a supply chain risk--an unprecedented decision with huge business ramifications. Alan Rozenshtein, Associate Professor at Minnesota Law and Research Director at Lawfare, joins Kevin Frazier, Senior Fellow at the Abudnance Institute and a Senior Editor at Lawfare, to break this all down.You can also read more on this weighty issue via Alan's two recent Lawfare pieces here and here.

Last week, we were at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 to find out how this revolutionary technology can transform global development. From AI regulation to the push for democratized access, we're breaking down our key takeaways from the summit and exploring how artificial intelligence can maximize impact in the sector. On the topic of the AI Impact Summit, Bill Gates pulled out hours before delivering a keynote speech. As the ties between the billionaire philanthropist and Jeffrey Epstein continue to generate headlines, we discuss whether the scrutiny of their relationship will broaden into a larger conversation about the power structures underlying elite philanthropy. To dig into these stories, and others, Business Editor David Ainsworth sits down with Managing Editor Anna Gawel and Senior Editor for Special Coverage Catherine Cheney to discuss the top global development stories of the week.

Modern Syria has seen violence, repression, and autocracy, suffering through tragedy after tragedy over the past century. Yet the history of Syria is not just a tale of dictators and generals. From the 1800s to the 2020s, the Syrian people have engaged in a passionate struggle for justice, equality, and a better future. Whether fighting for national independence from French colonial rule, battling local landowning elites to share the country's wealth, or rising up against the Assad regime, the Syrian people have fiercely clung to their right to live with respect and dignity. Theirs is a story of protest and perseverance in the long fight to reshape the political destiny of their nation. Daniel Neep's new book, A History of Modern Syria, offers a gripping narrative of how Syrians have navigated the events of the last two centuries. Never losing sight of the fates of ordinary people, it provides a comprehensive account of how a nation born in conflict sustained a rich, complex, and diverse society that after the fall of Assad will chart a new path into the uncertain future. Daniel Neep is Non-Resident Fellow at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies, Brandeis University, and Senior Editor at Arab Center Washington DC. He has taught Middle East politics at George Washington University, Georgetown University, and the University of Exeter. He was previously Research Director (Syria) at the Council for British Research in the Levant and spent several years living in Syria and Jordan. He is also the author of Occupying Syria under the French Mandate: Insurgency, Space, and State Formation (Cambridge University Press, 2012) and articles in journals including International Affairs, Journal of Democracy, New Political Economy, and the Journal of Historical Sociology. Meet our discussant and chair Charles Tripp FBA is Professor Emeritus of Politics at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. His research interests include the nature of autocracy, state and resistance in the Middle East, the politics of Islamic identities, and the role of art in the constitution of the political. He is currently working on a project on the politics of memory in Tunisia. Jasmine Gani is Assistant Professor in International Relations Theory at LSE. She specialises in anti-colonial theory and history, and the politics of empire, race and knowledge production. She is author of 'The Role of Ideology in Syria-US Relations: Conflict and Cooperation' (2014), and co-editor of 'Actors and Dynamics in the Syrian Conflict's Middle Phase' (2022).

Before AI, before social media, before the dot-com boom…there was Shawn Tully. Nearly 50 years later, there's still Shawn Tully — Fortune's Senior Editor-at-Large, still cranking out thought-provoking stories about the world's most powerful business leaders. On this episode of Press Profiles, Shawn reflects on five decades of reporting, from covering European business in Paris to flying on Donald Trump's private plane, to spending hours inside CEOs' offices chasing the perfect anecdote. He shares why storytelling matters as much as spreadsheets, how trust is built over decades, and why the best business journalism reads like narrative — not news copy. Along the way, we hear about tennis with Bobby Riggs, inventing the term "HENRYs," and what motivates him to "keep cranking" after all these years.
Eli Lilly notches another win over Novo Nordisk, as Zepbound bests CagriSema in a head-to-head trial sponsored by Novo; The FDA kicked off Rare Disease Week, providing draft guidance on its new plausible mechanism pathway, while a bipartisan senate hearing on Thursday will focus on the authorization process for rare conditions; Another leadership change shakes up CDC; and Gilead acquires CAR T partner Arcellx for nearly $8 billion. Everything is coming up Lilly. The Indianapolis-based pharma bested its chief rival, Novo Nordisk in a head-to-head test. In a Phase 3 trial initiated by Novo itself, Lilly's Zepbound generated 25.5% weight loss while the Danish pharma's CagriSema elicited 23%. The results sent Novo's shares plummeting by an unprecedented 20% to a pre-Wegovy valuation while Lilly's market cap continues to climb. Novo attempted a comeback on Tuesday, announcing that its triple-G agonist UBT251 scored almost 20% weight loss after 24 weeks in a Phase 2 trial in China. By comparison, Lilly's own triple-G competitor retatrutide led to 17.5% weight loss over the same timeframe, according to BMO Capital Markets analysts. Novo also sweetened the pot, announcing that it would slash the prices for all three of its GLP-1 medicines starting in 2027. Meanwhile, the FDA kicked off Rare Disease Week with draft guidance on the new Plausible Mechanism Pathway for personalized therapies that was first teased in November. Jumping off last summer's Baby KJ success story, the new pathway is aimed at advancing treatments for ultra-rare diseases. And a bipartisan senate hearing on Thursday will focus on the authorization process for rare disease therapies. While the rare disease space has enjoyed recent regulatory progress, funding these vital therapies remains a challenge. Companies like the Orphan Therapeutics Accelerator (OTXL), a non-profit biotech, are trying to change this with creative approaches including tax exempt status and unique partnerships with CDMOs and CMOs. Finally, in a move that also has implication for the rare disease space, the FDA's official pivot from a two clinical trial requirement to just one for new drug applications is lighting up biopharma social media. And over at the CDC, there is more upheaval on the leadership front as National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya replaces acting director Jim O'Neill as head of the agency, and principal deputy director Ralph Abraham steps down, citing “unforeseen family obligations.” On the business front, Gilead inked the biggest M&A deal of the year so far, acquiring CAR T partner Arcellx for nearly $8B. And Merck's Keytruda should have a few extra years of dominance thanks to a web of patents, with billions on the line. Check it out in BioPharm Executive, in your inboxes Wednesday.

Are you in the seat that God is calling you to? In this episode, Jeff and Kyle discuss: Living with curiosity and open communication. Generosity in influence. Learning and living in both the 1st and 2nd generation seats of organizations. Tapping into your emotional side. Key Takeaways: The family story is made up of 4 Ts, not 3: time, talent, treasure, and testimony. Write for your family alone. What do you want them to know and to carry forward? We must invest in the rising generation. Consider walking through the succession and transfer of influence sooner than you think. This can help to break the negative cycles that we may not even see. The focus of the family needs to come through the spirit. Get out of your head, and feel what God wants you to know and to do. "I'm talking about doing something that taps into this softer, emotional feeling side that at first feels very uncomfortable, but I believe the Holy Spirit will speak through it in ways that are unimaginable and are uniquely gifted to unleash something that is God-breathed." — Kyle Circle Episode References: Gospel Patrons: People Whose Generosity Changed the World by John Rinehart About Kyle Circle: Kyle is from a 19-generation farming family and was born into the largest 1st Gen strawberry farming family in the U.S., now in the wine business in the Central Coast of CA. They sold a 500-acre vineyard to the Gallos in 2018 and another 440 acres to Cupcake. Today, they're the largest grower for Joel Gott and Austin Hope in Santa Ynez and Paso in the Central Coast of California, with hundreds of acres of premium vineyards. The family history can be summed up as high-tech thinking in a low-tech industry, like agriculture. Today, the family holds various classes of real estate. This led him to start his 1st business when he was 11 years old, today owning land/vineyard, commercial, industrial & residential properties. He ended up having a 15-year professional music career where he played drums for Katy Perry. He did A&R, having found Francesca Battistelli getting her record deal, and managed a half dozen artists until 2010. His last artist was Nate Smith, who now has 3 #1 country singles and has been out with Morgan Wallen all last year and been out with Jason Aldean. Kyle was featured in Robert Frank's 2007 New York Times best-selling book, “Richistan: A Journey Through the American Wealth Boom and the Lives of the New Rich,” in Chapter 11 titled Astrokids. Robert was the Senior Editor of the Wall Street Journal's “The Wealth Report” for 18 years, is now the CNBC Wealth Editor, and has been hosting Inside Wealth since 2012. In 2005, along with a small group, co-created YPONextGen (now called YNG for raising the next generation of YPO/YPO Gold), which Kyle was part of for 7 years before joining EO (Entrepreneurs Organization) for 7 years, where he was also on the local board. There is now a YNG chapter in every major city in the world. He's always been a serial entrepreneur with a deep heart for pastors! Having chaired the national board for standingstoneministry.org for 4 yrs, on the board for 7 yrs, 2017-2021, and walked the founders through succession planning, which opened his eyes to how closely related the rich younger ruler and pastors and ministry leaders and their families were.

Her work focuses on health behaviours, including smoking cessation and weight management, with an emphasis on evidence synthesis. Annika's doctoral research, funded by the Society for the Study of Addiction (SSA) and The Rotary Foundation, examined socioeconomic inequalities in smoking cessation behaviours and outcomes using quantitative and qualitative methods. She is an Associate Editor of Nicotine & Tobacco Research. Annika holds a Bachelor of Health Sciences and a Master of Clinical Science from the University of Adelaide.About Jonathan Bricker: Jonathan is an expert in the field of health behavior change interventions. He is a Full Professor of Public Health at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Affiliate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. Dr. Bricker is founder and leader of the Health and Behavioral Innovations in Technology (“HABIT”) Research Group. The HABIT research group focuses on developing and testing innovative theory-based behavioral interventions for tobacco cessation and weight loss, especially those delivered in widely disseminable technology platforms. He and his team have developed a novel health behavior change intervention model based on the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (“ACT”). The principal investigator of over $35 million US dollars in research grants, he has been leading ten NIH R01 randomized trial grants, as well as led or collaborated on multiple other Federal and private research grants. His current grants focus on testing a machine learning natural language processing chatbot for quitting smoking, several smartphone applications for tobacco cessation in the general population, among cancer patients, American Indians & Alaska Natives, Hispanics, and adolescents, and a weight loss telephone coaching program based on ACT. His “iCanQuit” smartphone app based on ACT was proven more effective than a leading National Cancer Institute smartphone app based on the US Clinical Practice Guidelines in a large, randomized trial published in JAMA Internal Medicine. iCanQuit is now publicly available. He has published over 150 peer-reviewed research articles on addictions, behavioral interventions, and technologies. Currently, he serves as a Senior Editor of the journal Addiction.

What if Christianity was never meant to be about escaping earth for heaven, but about God coming home to the world? In this episode, I sit down with N. T. Wright for a wide-ranging conversation that reclaims the Bible's larger story: heaven and earth meant to overlap, God dwelling with humanity, and new creation beginning now. We explore temples and tabernacles, resurrection and judgment, what it truly means to be human, and how the church is called to reflect God's presence in a fractured world. Drawing from Wright's latest book God's Homecoming, this conversation invites youto rethink faith, hope, justice, and the future of the world and to rediscover a gospel that is far bigger, richer, and more grounded than we thought.N. T. Wright is the former Bishop of Durham in the Church of England and one of the world's leading Bible scholars. He is Senior Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University, and Senior Editor at Saint Andrews. He has been featured on ABC News, Dateline, The Colbert Report, and NPR's Fresh Air. Wright is the award-winning author of many books, including Paul: A Biography, Simply Christian, Surprised by Hope, The Day the Revolution Began, Simply Jesus, After You Believe, and Scripture and the Authority of God.N.T.

In this special TPM Tech Preview episode, Brian Glick sits down with Eric Johnson of the Journal of Commerce to go behind the scenes of TPM and TPM Tech. Eric explains how the conference has evolved from its transpacific shipping roots into a broader forum for containerized supply chains, global economics, geopolitics, and technology—and why an editorial-first approach remains central to its credibility.Together, they explore how TPM Tech sessions are designed, how topics and speakers are selected months in advance, and how the program avoids becoming sales-driven or trend-chasing.

He regularly reports on how shippers, carriers, and logistics providers use software across procurement, execution, visibility, and payment, and is a frequent moderator and presenter at major industry events.Eric also plays a key role in developing the TPM and TPM Tech conference programs, helping shape editorial-driven discussions that cut through hype and focus on practical, real-world technology challenges facing the supply chain industry.Connect with EricConnect with BrianFollow Chain.io on LinkedIn
