The United States and Iran will sign a peace deal on Friday, US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday.美国总统唐纳德・特朗普周日宣布，美国与伊朗将于周五签署和平协议。"The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete," Trump said in an announcement on Truth Social. "Congratulations to all!"特朗普在 "真实社交" 平台发布声明称："与伊朗伊斯兰共和国的协议现已达成，向所有人表示祝贺！""Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me. The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace," Trump posted.特朗普发文称："多任美国总统都曾尝试与伊朗实现和平，在我之前全部失败。该地区各国领导人首次找到了一位能够帮助他们实现真正和平的总统。""With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World!" he said.他表示："随着周五协议签署后海峡开放用于清除水雷，该地区乃至全球的石油运输将在两端恢复畅通！"Earlier on Sunday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan, which has been acting as a mediator, announced on X that a deal had been reached between the two parties.担任调停方的巴基斯坦总理夏巴兹・谢里夫周日早些时候在 X 平台宣布，双方已达成协议。"Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon," Sharif posted.谢里夫发文称："经过密集谈判，我们很高兴地宣布，美国与伊朗伊斯兰共和国已达成和平协议。双方已宣布立即永久停止包括黎巴嫩在内所有战线的军事行动。"The signing ceremony will be on Friday in Switzerland, he said.他表示，签字仪式将于周五在瑞士举行。"With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony," Sharif said.谢里夫称："协议现已达成，调停方本周将推动一系列会谈。这些实施前磋商将为技术谈判和正式签字仪式奠定基础。"Iran Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed an immediate and permanent end to the war, telling Iranian state TV that military operations on various fronts, including Lebanon, will cease, Reuters reported. He also said that the US naval blockade of Iranian ports would be lifted.据路透社报道，伊朗副外长卡齐姆・加里巴巴迪向伊朗国家电视台证实，战争将立即永久结束，包括黎巴嫩在内各战线的军事行动都将停止。他还表示，美国对伊朗港口的海上封锁将解除。Details of the agreement have yet to be released.协议的具体细节尚未公布。Trump had posted earlier that a peace deal with Iran would be signed on Sunday — his 80th birthday.特朗普此前曾发文称，与伊朗的和平协议将于周日 —— 也就是他 80 岁生日当天签署。However, Iran said on Sunday that no agreement would be reached by Trump's deadline, the country's Fars News Agency reported.但据伊朗法尔斯通讯社报道，伊朗周日表示，不会在特朗普设定的最后期限前达成任何协议。The proposed agreement would apparently see the Strait of Hormuz reopened to commercial traffic, and the US blockade of Iranian ports lifted. It was expected that the current ceasefire would be extended by another 60 days.根据拟议协议，霍尔木兹海峡显然将重新对商业航运开放，美国对伊朗港口的封锁也将解除。预计当前停火协议将再延长 60 天。However, two ongoing sticking points have been a US demand that Iran surrender its stockpile of enriched uranium, while Iran has demanded the US unfreeze assets worth tens of billions of dollars.但目前仍存在两个争议点：美国要求伊朗交出其浓缩铀储备，而伊朗则要求美国解冻价值数百亿美元的资产。In an interview with the New York Times, Trump said that the agreement means the Strait of Hormuz would be "permanently toll free".特朗普在接受《纽约时报》采访时表示，该协议意味着霍尔木兹海峡将 "永久免费通行"。Trump told the Times that if Iran failed to reach a final nuclear agreement with the US he would restart military attacks, or make the US "the guardian of the Middle East" in return for a fifth of the region's revenue.特朗普对《纽约时报》表示，如果伊朗未能与美国达成最终核协议，他将重启军事打击，或者让美国成为 "中东的守护者"，以换取该地区五分之一的收入。UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in a joint statement with France, Germany and Italy, said the deal must be "implemented rapidly and comprehensively".英国首相基尔・斯塔默与法国、德国、意大利发表联合声明称，该协议必须 "迅速、全面地落实"。"This is a moment of opportunity to restore regional stability and stabilize the global economy," Starmer said.斯塔默表示："这是恢复地区稳定、稳定全球经济的机遇时刻。"French President Emmanuel Macron posted online that leaders at this week's G7 meeting will discuss the long-term reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.法国总统埃马纽埃尔・马克龙在网上发文称，本周七国集团会议的领导人将讨论霍尔木兹海峡的长期开放问题。"The aim will be to see the consequences of this agreement, support for Lebanon, the lasting reopening of Hormuz and of course the concluding of an accord on nuclear and ballistic activities in Iran," Macron said on Instagram.马克龙在 Instagram 上表示："目标将是落实该协议的成果、支持黎巴嫩、霍尔木兹海峡持久开放，当然还有达成伊朗核活动与弹道导弹活动的最终协议。"Tom Watkins, deputy chief of staff to former Michigan governor James Blanchard, told China Daily: "If it is to believed, and if it holds, it is good news for the people of Lebanon, Iran and for people of the world. With multiple false starts, even the most optimistic observer is waiting anxiously for its implementation."美国密歇根州前州长詹姆斯・布兰查德的办公厅副主任汤姆・沃特金斯对《中国日报》表示："如果消息属实且协议能够持续，这对黎巴嫩、伊朗人民以及全世界人民都是好消息。由于此前多次出现反复，即便是最乐观的观察人士也在焦急等待协议的落实。""Many innocent people in the Middle East, including women and children, have been killed and wounded because of this war," Watkins said.沃特金斯称："中东地区许多无辜民众，包括妇女和儿童，都因这场战争死伤。"This Trump administration war of choice has been costly for the US in loss of life, treasury and reputation, and many observers believe it leaves the US no more secure than before it started, he said.他表示，这场特朗普政府主动发起的战争让美国在生命、财政和声誉方面付出了沉重代价，许多观察人士认为，美国的安全程度并不比战争开始前更高。As in all "deals", the devil will be in the details that will dribble out, he added.他补充道，与所有 "协议" 一样，问题的关键将在于逐步披露的具体细节。mediator /ˈmiːdieɪtə(r)/ n. 调停者，斡旋者blockade /blɒˈkeɪd/ n. 封锁enriched uranium /ɪnˈrɪtʃt jʊˈreɪniəm/ 浓缩铀implementation /ˌɪmplɪmenˈteɪʃn/ n. 实施，执行

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we examine the opening moves of the Ottoman Empire's war against Britain – a desperate, audacious campaign to seize the Suez Canal that has been largely forgotten but which revealed the fragility of the British Empire and the resilience of the Ottoman army.At the outbreak of the First World War, the Ottoman Empire saw itself surrounded by enemies: the British in Egypt, the Russians to the north, a hostile Habsburg Empire to the west, and a recently hostile Italy in the Mediterranean. The Young Turk government initially hoped to stay out of the war. But when they looked at Britain, France, and Russia, they saw voraciously hungry powers intent on dismembering their empire. Germany offered a security guarantee – unreliable, but the best available.The German High Command placed a high priority on cutting the Suez Canal. Between August and December 1914, 376 transport ships carried nearly 164,000 Allied troops through the canal. It was the vital artery connecting the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean – the lifeline of Britain's Asian empire. If the Ottomans could pinch it off, they could deal Britain a mortal blow and perhaps inspire a pan‑Islamic jihad against British rule.The man chosen to lead the attack was Cemal Pasha. In November 1914, he stood in Istanbul's central train station and publicly proclaimed his intention to conquer Egypt. The British dismissed his pledge as empty rhetoric. They did not believe he could raise an army large enough or cross the waterless, hostile Sinai desert.But Cemal assembled a heterogeneous, multi‑ethnic force – regular soldiers from the Arab provinces, volunteers from Bedouin, Druze, Circassian, Kurdish, Albanian, and even Jewish communities. He wrote to the Sharif of Mecca, Hussein ibn Ali, asking for troops under one of his sons. Hussein's son Ali went no further than Medina – a warning sign Cemal chose to ignore.Against all odds, Cemal's force marched across the Sinai in 12 days, losing neither a man nor a beast. They carried light rations of dates, biscuit, and olives, water carefully rationed, marching through the freezing nights and resting by day. British aerial surveillance initially failed to detect them – early aircraft lacked the range to reach central Sinai.By late January 1915, the British realised the impossible was happening. They withdrew all troops to the western shore of the canal, chained guard dogs on the east bank, and waited. The odds were stacked against the Ottomans – 25,000 attackers against 50,000 dug‑in defenders, backed by warships, armoured trains, and the canal itself. But Cemal had achieved surprise. What happened next would shape the course of the war in the Middle East.Drawing on Eugene Rogan's *The Fall of the Ottomans*, this episode explores the political context of the Ottoman decision to enter the war, the challenges of mobilising a multi‑ethnic army, the incredible logistics of the Sinai crossing, and the early use of aerial reconnaissance in desert warfare.**Topics covered:**- The Ottoman Empire's strategic dilemma in 1914- The alliance with Germany and the promise of jihad- The importance of the Suez Canal to the British war effort- Cemal Pasha and his public proclamation- The composition of the Ottoman expeditionary force- Sharif Hussein's reluctant cooperation- The 12‑day march across the Sinai- British aerial reconnaissance and its limitations- The defence of the canal: warships, armoured trains, and guard dogs- The moment of surprise before the attack---*If you enjoy the podcast, please consider supporting us – we are migrating from Patreon to Substack.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was awarded the title of honorary professor by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences on Tuesday in Beijing, in recognition of his contributions to promoting agricultural science and technology cooperation between China and Pakistan.巴基斯坦总理夏巴兹·谢里夫周二在北京被中国农业科学院授予名誉教授称号，以表彰他为推动中巴农业科技合作所作出的贡献。Speaking at the ceremony, Sharif said that agriculture remained a key topic of discussion during his meetings with Chinese leaders.夏巴兹在仪式上表示，农业是他与中国领导人会晤期间讨论的关键议题。He said that Pakistan hopes to learn from China's development experience and expand cooperation in areas such as crop breeding, animal husbandry, climate-smart agriculture, agricultural machinery and agricultural product processing, in order to improve productivity and added value.他说，巴基斯坦希望学习中国的发展经验，扩大在作物育种、畜牧业、气候智慧型农业、农业机械以及农产品加工等领域的合作，以提高生产力和附加值。Sharif announced that Pakistan will launch the second phase of its "Thousand Talents Plan", which will see 1,000 more young people from Pakistan sent to Chinese agricultural institutions to study and undertake training.夏巴兹宣布，巴基斯坦将启动“千人计划”第二阶段，再派遣千余名巴基斯坦青年到中国农业院校学习和培训。"I propose sending 1,000 students and fresh agriculture graduates from all provinces of Pakistan to Chinese universities for formal courses and modern agricultural training," he said.他说：“我提议从巴基斯坦各省选派1000名学生和应届农业毕业生，到中国大学学习正规课程和现代农业培训。”Sharif's four-day official visit to China, which concluded on Tuesday, is an important high-level exchange between the two countries as this month marks the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations.夏巴兹对中国的四天正式访问于5月26日结束。此次访问是中巴两国间一次重要的高层交流，本月恰逢两国建交75周年。His announcement was warmly welcomed by Pakistani students at the academy, many of whom view China's agricultural modernization as a model for Pakistan's rural development.他的这一表态当即获得在该院学习的巴基斯坦学生热烈回应，他们中许多人把中国农业现代化看作巴基斯坦农村发展的样板。Nadeem Sarwar, a Pakistani scholar pursuing a PhD in agricultural water resources and environment at CAAS, said that the initiative would create valuable opportunities for more young people in Pakistan.在中国农科院攻读农业水资源与环境博士学位的巴基斯坦学者纳迪姆·萨瓦尔（音译）表示，这一举措将为更多巴基斯坦年轻人创造宝贵机会。"More Pakistani graduates will have the opportunity to gain knowledge, experience and exposure at Chinese institutions. When they return to Pakistan, they can contribute to developing the agricultural sector there," he said.他说：“更多巴基斯坦毕业生将有机会在中国院校获取知识、经验和视野。当他们回到巴基斯坦后，可以为那里的农业发展做出贡献。”Sarwar's research focuses on improving the efficiency of agricultural water use, an issue he said is particularly important for Pakistan.萨瓦尔的研究重点是提高农业用水效率。他表示，这一问题对巴基斯坦尤为重要。"China has made great progress (in agriculture), especially in improving water-use efficiency," he said, adding that he hopes to use China's technologies and experience to boost Pakistan's agricultural productivity and improve its management of resources.他说：“中国（在农业方面）取得了巨大进步，尤其是在提高用水效率方面。”他还表示，希望利用中国的技术和经验来提高巴基斯坦的农业生产力和资源管理水平。Muhammad Shahzad, also a PhD scholar at CAAS, who is studying animal genetics, breeding and reproduction, described the occasion as "a really big day" for Pakistani students. "It is a matter of great pride for all Pakistanis that China truly acknowledges Pakistan and values our friendship."同样在中国农科院攻读博士学位的穆罕默德·沙赫扎德（音译），研究方向为动物遗传育种与繁殖。他将这一时刻形容为巴基斯坦学生“真正的大日子”。“中国真正认可巴基斯坦并珍视我们的友谊，这是所有巴基斯坦人的骄傲。”Shahzad noted that Pakistan's livestock industry plays a major role in the country's agricultural economy, and that scientific breeding is essential for improving productivity. "Our animals are resilient to hot weather and diseases, but we need more scientific breeding," he said.沙赫扎德指出，巴基斯坦畜牧业在该国农业经济中占有重要地位，科学育种对提高生产力至关重要。“我们的牲畜耐热、抗病，但我们需要更科学的育种方法，”他说。Huang Sanwen, president of CAAS and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that CAAS has established multiple joint platforms with Pakistani partners, including laboratories for cotton biotechnology, sustainable crop pest control and molecular breeding of wheat.中国农科院院长、中国科学院院士黄三文表示，中国农科院已与巴方伙伴建立了多个联合平台，包括棉花生物技术、可持续作物病虫害防治以及小麦分子育种等实验室。Huang said that the academy has also promoted cooperation in crop breeding, prevention of animal and plant diseases, water and soil resource management, and agricultural product processing.黄三文说，农科院还推动了作物育种、动植物疫病防控、水土资源管理以及农产品加工等领域的合作。CAAS has trained more than 300 Pakistani students over the years and established a China-Pakistan Agricultural Technology Working Group with the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council, to institutionalize cooperation and strengthen capacity-building efforts, he added.他补充说，中国农科院多年来已培训了300多名巴基斯坦学生，并与巴基斯坦农业研究理事会共同成立了中巴农业技术工作组，以实现合作机制化，加强能力建设。He Zhonghu, a researcher at the academy's Institute of Crop Sciences, who has worked with Pakistani researchers for more than two decades, said that China and Pakistan have already achieved remarkable results through joint agricultural research.中国农科院作物科学研究所研究员何中虎与巴基斯坦研究人员合作已有二十余年。他表示，中巴两国通过联合农业研究已经取得了显著成果。A wheat variety developed by Chinese and Pakistani researchers has recently been approved in Pakistan following years of field testing.经过多年田间试验，中巴研究人员共同培育的一个小麦品种最近在巴基斯坦获得审定。The variety yields about 10 percent more than local varieties, matures earlier than them and has strong resistance to lodging (stem bending or breakage), said He, who is also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.身兼中国工程院院士的何中虎介绍说，该品种比当地品种增产约10%，成熟期更早，抗倒伏能力强。"We are very happy to contribute what we can to Pakistan's agricultural development and food security," he added.“我们很高兴能为巴基斯坦的农业发展和粮食安全尽一份力，”他补充道。The researcher, who has trained 10 Pakistani PhD scholars and a number of agricultural technicians at the institute, said that future training methods should focus more on applying new technologies rather than on basic research.何中虎在该院已培养了10名巴基斯坦博士研究生和多名农业技术人员。他表示，未来的培训方法应更多地聚焦于新技术应用，而非基础研究。For example, students studying genetics or wheat breeding should also be taken to experimental fields, seed companies and flour mills for hands-on experience, he said.他例如，学习遗传学或小麦育种的学生也应被带到试验田、种子公司和面粉厂，以获得实践经验。in recognition of /ɪn ˌrekəɡˈnɪʃən əv/以表彰…crop breeding /krɒp ˈbriːdɪŋ/作物育种livestock industry /ˈlaɪvstɒk ˈɪndəstri/畜牧业sustainable crop pest control /səˈsteɪnəbəl krɒp pest kənˈtrəʊl/可持续作物病虫害防治molecular breeding /məˈlekjʊlə ˈbriːdɪŋ/分子育种lodging /ˈlɒdʒɪŋ/倒伏（农作物）

Round 10 is here and it is Heritage Round all over Australia! This week Sharif Black from the Joondalup Wolves & Jayda Clark from the Warwick Senators joined me to discuss everything NBL1 West.

This week is a story about men, emotion, and the masks we wear. Sharif and Jawhar unpack Karuppu, Suriya's blockbuster that's already the highest-grossing Tamil film of 2026. Then the conversation gets real: the boys dig into Jayam Ravi (now Ravi Mohan), his name change, the divorce, his recent press conference after the break up with Kenishaa and the bigger question about men's mental health in the Tamil community, why our heroes are crumbling in silence. Finally, Sharif, a proud Manchester United fan, explains why his mental health has deteriorated as Arsenal became premier league champions.

Welcome back to another episode! In this episode, Jawhar, Sharif and Yuva discuss their experiences as fathers. They discuss their views on screentime, infant care, sacrifices and much more. Plus, Bharath and Yuva get into a heated debate on Bharath's views on parenting. Enjoy folks!

In this episode, Jewel sits down with Sharif J. Small to break down how business acquisitions, commercial real estate, and tax strategy work together as a unified play for building and sustaining generational wealth. Drawing from his experience advising entrepreneurs and acquiring businesses himself, Sharif reveals why buying existing, cash-flowing businesses—rather than starting from scratch—creates immediate leverage with lenders, stronger operational foundations, and faster paths to scale. From structuring deals with separate entities for the business and the real estate to leveraging depreciation, cost segregation, and financing strategies to reduce tax liability, this conversation unpacks the mechanics behind how wealth is actually built and preserved. Packed with practical insight on becoming “capital ready,” assembling the right advisory team, and multiplying assets over time, this episode gives Black executives a clear blueprint for transitioning from operator to owner and turning income into long-term, scalable wealth.   Join us ➡️ Black Executive Men on Linkedin ➡️ Apply here for Black Executive Men

What does it actually take to serve a community and what does a doctor see that a politician might miss? In this episode, Jawhar, Sharif, and Yuva sit down with Dr. Hamid Razak, orthopaedic surgeon, and MP for West Coast GRC for a wide-ranging conversation that goes well beyond the title. They cover mental health advocacy, what really happens during ground work, youth anxiety around jobs and social mobility, and the unique identity of Singapore's Indian Muslim community. Plus football banter, a culture check, and the question every Tamil fan needs answered Rajini or Kamal? One of Vada Poche's most grounded interviews yet.

One of the biggest shifts I'm seeing right now is not only how AI is changing work, but how it is changing the way we test ideas. In the past, if a founder, researcher, product manager, or strategist wanted to validate an idea, the process was slow. Build a hypothesis. Run surveys. Wait for responses. Clean the data. Analyze it. Then maybe discover the question itself was not strong enough. Now, with GenAI, that whole cycle is being challenged. And this connects directly with my own work as well. When I work on AI strategy, GenAI maturity, or enterprise adoption roadmaps, the hardest part is often not the technology. The hardest part is asking the right question before building the solution. That is why today's conversation is important. Because we are moving from AI as a content generator to AI as a thinking partner. A system that can help researchers, founders, and teams test assumptions, explore user behavior, and sharpen decisions before spending time and money in the wrong direction. Today, I'm joined by Sharif Amlani, who brings together political science, research methods, data analysis, and generative AI to build tools for synthetic respondents and AI-powered research analysis. This is a conversation about research, validation, synthetic data, agents, and what happens when GenAI becomes part of the thinking process itself. Let's get into it. Episode # 187 Today's Guest: Sharif Amlani, Founder, HumanAI Sharif Amlani is the Founder and CEO of HumanAI, a UC Berkeley startup using generative AI to transform how we do research, analyze data, and expand what we know about the world around us. Website: HumanAI What Listeners Will Learn: How GenAI is changing research, surveys, and analysis What synthetic respondents are and where they can be useful Why AI-generated responses should support-not replace-real human validation How founders can test ideas earlier, before spending money on surveys Why talking to users remains the most important startup habit How AI agents can support analysis and reporting workflows Why consistency matters more than intensity when building a startup How market feedback can reveal a different customer than originally expected Resources: HumanAI

When I first heard that two leaders in the experimental rap space, in rapper Fatboi Sharif and producer Child Actor, were joining forces on an upcoming album, Crayola Circles, the stylistic fit was obvious. I knew immediately that Sharif's unique vocal style would pair well with Child Actor's decadent psychedelia. But what I wasn't prepared for was just how much of a beautifully tender emotional experience this record would be. I'm truly blown away by Crayola Circles, and so I'm pumped that I was able to chat with both Fatboi Sharif and Child Actor about the recording process, Sharif's introspective lyrical focus, Child Actor's delicate masterpieces of production, and much more. Cannot stress enough how special this album is, so make sure you listen on to learn more about what inspired it! The Plug (1:20). The Interview (2:40). Audience response to Crayola Circles (3:55). The genesis of the Sharif x Child Actor collaboration (8:33). The emotional lyricism of Crayola Circles (13:16). The serene sound of Crayola Circles (17:33). Sharif's creative ethos (28:26).

VOV1 - Cả Mỹ và Iran vẫn đang dành những lời khen cho nỗ lực trung gian “không ngừng nghỉ” của Pakistan. Dù cuộc gặp thứ hai giữa hai bên vẫn chưa thể diễn ra tại Islamabad như kỳ vọng, song vẫn đang có những dấu hiệu “tích cực”Ngoại trưởng Iran Abbas Araqchi hôm qua cho biết chuyến thăm Pakistan là “rất hiệu quả”, đồng thời bày tỏ đánh giá cao những nỗ lực thiện chí của Islamabad trong việc thúc đẩy hòa bình.Theo các nguồn tin từ Pakistan, qua các cuộc gặp với Thủ tướng nước chủ nhà Shehbaz Sharif, Tư lệnh quân đội – Tướng Asim Munir và người đồng cấp Pakistan; Ngoại trưởng Iran đã chuyển các yêu cầu của nước này trong đàm phán với Mỹ, cũng như bày tỏ sự hoài nghi về các cam kết ngoại giao của Mỹ.Sau chuyến thăm của Ngoại trưởng Iran, Thủ tướng Pakistan cũng đã điện đàm với Tổng thống Iran Masoud Pezeshkian. Trong thông điệp đăng trên mạng xã hội X, ông Sharif mô tả cuộc trao đổi diễn ra trong không khí thân mật, mang tính xây dựng, đồng thời đánh giá cao sự tham gia tích cực của Iran, bao gồm chuyến thăm Islamabad của phái đoàn cấp cao do Ngoại trưởng Abbas Araghchi dẫn đầu. Thủ tướng Pakistan khẳng định nước này sẽ tiếp tục đóng vai trò là một bên trung gian “trung thực và chân thành”, phối hợp với các đối tác nhằm thúc đẩy hòa bình bền vững và ổn định lâu dài trong khu vực.Theo một số nguồn tin, Ngoại trưởng Iran có thể sẽ trở lại Pakistan ngay sau chuyến thăm đầu tiên tới quốc gia vùng Vịnh Oman kể từ khi xung đột với Mỹ nổ ra. Chuyến thăm được nhấn mạnh thể hiện sự coi trọng mối quan hệ của Iran với các nước vùng Vịnh, bất chấp việc Tehran đã tấn công các nước này nhằm gây áp lực lên Mỹ.Về phía Mỹ, Tổng thống Donald Trump cũng dành lời khen cho sự trung gian của Pakistan, dù đã hủy chuyến thăm của 2 đặc phái viên nước này tới Islamabad. Nhà lãnh đạo Mỹ viện dẫn lý do là việc đi lại tốn kém, trong khi nhận lại một văn bản “chưa đủ tốt” từ phía Iran. Tổng thống Mỹ để ngỏ việc đàm phán với Iran trong tương lai, khi tuyên bố rằng Tehran có thể gọi cho Mỹ bất cứ lúc nào./. Đình Nam/VOV Ấn ĐộThủ tướng Pakistan tiếp phái đoàn Iran. Ảnh: Reuters.

After threatening to destroy the "whole civilization" of Iran on April 7, 2026, Donald Trump backtracked on grounds that a temporary ceasefire had been reached thanks to negotiations held by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. On the same day, we learned that the agreement included a "10-point proposal from Iran," which Trump said was a "workable basis on which to negotiate" further peace. Several news outlets reported on these ten points and Trump even posted them in an official statement of Iran on TruthSocial, including the "15-point" proposal from the United States. According to Shehbaz Sharif, "I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere." On April 8th, 2026, the Jerusalem post reported, "Iran violates ceasefire agreement hours after Trump announced truce." The proof Fox News showed of this involved small lights in the sky claimed to be Iranian missiles breaking the agreement as they fell on Tel Aviv. No context or details were provided. The Times of Israel then reported as quickly as it had been announced "open" that the Straight of Hormuz was being closed "over Israeli strikes in Lebanon." According to the man negotiating the temporary truce, this would constitute a violation of the agreement.Perhaps to save face and once more give more rope to the Israelis to hang the world, the United States claimed, as per CNN, the "two-week ceasefire" was strictly "between the US and Iran." If that was the case then Iran bombing Israel should not violate the agreement. However, Israel's nonstop bombardment of Lebanon, and reportedly Iran too, led to Hormuz being shut down once more and claims the Iranians violated the ceasefire because the agreement was "contingent on the 'COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFFE OPENING' of the critical waterway." This is plainly an inversion of the order of events. Vice President Vance also told the press that the agreement did not include Lebanon, which is obviously a contradiction of what Shehbaz Sharif had explicitly stated.As the ten-points from Iran circulated the Internet, and the public noticed they seemed to imply that the US had lost a war, the White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed those points were "fundamentally unserious" and "literally thrown in the garbage," a statement obviously contradicting the President's official statement, which was published on official Executive Office paper. Benjamin Netanyahu told the press that his war objectives had not been met and: "we are ready to resume the fighting at any moment. Our finger is on the trigger." So what was happening here? It appears that as with the fake peace deal in Gaza, broken by the Israelis instantly and blamed on the Arabs and Muslims, the same theater was being offered for public consumption in Iran. And from the shadows again was Jared Kushner acting as a central negotiator. Whatever may be said of Kushner and what he sold to the White House at the behest of Israel and the Mossad, it seems strange he could obtain any details when, according to various confirmed reports, including from the Wall Street Journal on April 7, 2026, "Iran Cuts Off Direct Diplomacy With U.S." The article reported that "it is unclear if direct talks will resume before the deadline," which of course refers to the threat about Iran's "whole civilization" and the Straight of Hormuz being opened - though it was never really closed.Meanwhile, Israel kept dropping bombs, targeting civilians, and providing false information to the White House that got Americans killed. Israel continued to undermine the wealth, perception, reputation, and economy of the United States. Clearly, Israel has no regard whatsoever for its allies or even its own people. Tens of thousands of Jews reside in Iran and call it home, as do large numbers of Christians. Yet no distinction was made by the United States and Israel in their threats to exterminate the Persian civilization, itself not merely a war crime but outright genocide and totally psychotic. The IDF even admitted to striking the Rafi Niya Synagogue, located near Palestine Square in central Tehran. Although the word "damaged" was used to soften the public perception of the destruction, the structure itself was rubble. Siamak Moreh-Sedgh, former Jewish-Iranian MP, summarized our point: "It shows that the Zionistic regime has not any belief in the Jewish principles. And they are not following Moses. They follow Satan and they follow their benefits."*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements. If you want an ad-free experience, you can subscribe below underneath the show description.

Khoon apna ho ya paraaya ho — nsl-e-aadam ka khoon hai aakhir.Sahir Ludhianvi wrote these lines decades ago, but they could have been written this morning. In this episode, we sit with one of his most powerful anti-war nazms, "Aye Sharif Insano" — a poem that doesn't take sides in any war except one: the side of the common man.We talk about what it feels like to watch the world burn from a distance, how poetry gives language to despair and helplessness, and why Sahir's words refuse to age. Then we go deeper — into the history of war, the Mongols, Marco Polo, who gets to write history, and Sahir's larger body of work including Parchhaiyaan.Jang khud hi ek masla hai. War is itself the problem.Sahir said it first. We're still catching up.Kavinaama is a Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi poetry podcast made in Southern California for the South Asian diaspora — and everyone who has ever loved a line of shayari.

Res je umazana volilna kampanjo že skoraj za nami, ampak smo pa vsaj malo zamenjali zunanje sovražnike. Letos so manj na sporedu teme ilegalnih migracij, novih azilnih kapacitet za prosilce, varovanje meje z ograjami in podobno. Ampak ta tema vseskozi tli pod površjem dnevne politike pa tudi ob šankih in političnih plakatih. In na naših ulicah: Predstavniki Ambasade Rog so opozorili na povečano število rasističnih napadov na tuje delavce, študente in prosilce za azil po Ljubljani. Po njihovih podatkih jih je bilo v zadnjih nekaj tednih več deset. Kakšen je odnos Slovencev do tujcev, do migrantov in prosilcev za mednarodno zaščito pri nas? Kako se je ta odnos v zadnji letih morda spremenil in od česa so odvisni naši predsodki? Kdo so ljudje do katerih imamo predsodke? Sogovorniki:  Noorullah in Dragana Oriyakhel Janja in prosilec za azil Romain Adje  ukrajinski zobozdravnik iz Brežic Vasyl Olianyshyn 23 letni Sharif tudi iz Brežic sociologinja, profesorica in raziskovalka na Inštitutu za slovensko izseljenstvo in migracije ZRC SAZU dr.

This week on The Thinking Muslim, we speak with Dr. Abdallah Marouf, Palestinian academic and former Media and Public Relations Officer at Masjid al-Aqsa, who delivers an urgent warning. He says he has never felt this concerned about the possibility of Al-Aqsa being attacked.We discuss the growing calls from some Israeli religious figures to build a Third Temple, the activities of Temple movements, and whether the long-standing status quo at the Haram al-Sharif is already being eroded.Dr. Marouf also explains the influence of American evangelical support, the recent attention around the red heifer narrative, and what these developments could mean for the future of Al-Aqsa. And finally, we examine the difficult reality facing Palestinians in Jerusalem today, and whether any change to Al-Aqsa could once again ignite a wider uprising across the Muslim world.You can find Dr. Abdallah Marouf here here:X: https://x.com/AbdallahMaroufIG: https://www.instagram.com/amarouf/Become a member here:https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/membershipOr give your one-off donation here:https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/donateListen to the audio version of the podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7vXiAjVFnhNI3T9Gkw636aApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-thinking-muslim/id1471798762Purchase our Thinking Muslim mug: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/merchFind us on:X: https://x.com/thinking_muslimLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-thinking-muslim/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Thinking-Muslim-Podcast-105790781361490Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingmuslimpodcast/Telegram: https://t.me/thinkingmuslimBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/thinkingmuslim.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@thinkingmuslimpodcastFind Muhammad Jalal here:X: https://twitter.com/jalalaynInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jalalayns/Sign up to Muhammad Jalal's newsletter: https://jalalayn.substack.comWebsite Archive: https://www.thinkingmuslim.comDisclaimer:The views expressed in this video are those of the individual speaker(s) and do not represent the views of the host, producers, platform, or any affiliated organisation.

Nour is an independent media professional and communications consultant with 20 years of experience as a distinguished journalist. In 2012, Ms. Odeh became Palestine's first female government spokesperson and she served in various capacities as a senior communications and public diplomacy advisor to the Palestinian leadership.

In this far-ranging conversation, Lara and Nour discuss the situation in the West Bank today; trends in West Bank settler and IDF terror and ethnic cleansing dating from before 10/7/23, escalating through 2.5 years of genocide, and now escalating again during the Israeli-U.S. war on Iran; the situation in Jerusalem and the Harm al-Sharif; the implementation of Israel's Gaza playbook in Lebanon and Iran; the role of the international community; the state of Palestinian domestic politics and the national movement for Palestinian rights and self-determination; and how all of this is playing out with respect to grassroots attitudes and activism around the globe.

Mike Elmore was born in Illinois into a family with a legacy of military service. He joined the U.S. Army in 1987 with no immediate intention of pursuing special forces. But he loved the idea of a new challenge, passed selection and qualifying, and earned his Green Beret. By the time of the 9/11 Al Qaeda terrorist attacks, Elmore was part of Operational Detachment (ODA) 595, a group that would later become known as the Horse Soldiers.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Elmore walks us through qualifying and explains why being mentally tough is just as important as physical toughness in Special Forces. He also explains how his ODA's training in the months leading up to 9/11 turned out to be perfect prepartion for the fight against the Taliban.Elmore takes us up into the Afghan mountains, explains how he and others in his detachment worked alongside Afghan General Abdul Dostum and elements of the Northern Alliance, how he adjusted to the small horses needed to navigate the mountains, and what combat was like approaching Mazar-i-Sharif.  He also explains the huge advantages of U.S. air power in their mission and some of the challenges involved in coordinating those air strikes.

This episode is a masterclass in what it really costs to be a Black man in education and what it takes to build something better. Sharif El-Mekki (Center for Black Educator Development) breaks down the “trifecta” that grinds educators down, why many recruitment efforts are ill-informed and unserious, and how a student-led rallying cry became a national pipeline movement: #WeNeedBlackTeachers. Listen and apply these takeaways to your school tomorrow:Why “work twice as hard to get half as far” can become a trap and where the pressure should go (the system, not the child)The educator “mask” that looks like strength…but is really stoicism, compartmentalization, and survivalWhat changes when you stop separating your lived experience from your teaching: students become more demanding (and that's a good thing)“Raised Woke” and the power of student agency: when young people start making real demands, like meeting real PanthersThe Black educator pipeline problem, the leaky retention reality, and why retention is the strongest recruitment strategyThe 3Ps framework: Policy & Advocacy, Professional Development, Pathways—and what it looks like in real schoolsThe mental health toll on Black male educators: experiencing bias as a kid, as a professional, and deciding whether to protect kids in the same system(0:00) Class in session + meet Sharif El-Mekki(1:15) Philly Seventh Ward + why Du Bois still matters(2:35) “Stop telling Black boys they need to be twice as good” + the John Henry warning(6:05) The mask question: what we show vs. what we carry(9:35) Ashanti's mask: purpose on the front, fear + political anger behind it(12:10) Sharif's mask: love for community on the front, stoicism + withholding his story behind it(19:55) What students do when you bring your full self: “Raised Woke,” demands, and agency(24:20) Center for Black Educator Development + rebuilding a national Black teacher pipeline(26:05) The 3Ps: policy/advocacy, professional learning, pathways(27:10) The high school pathway: teaching as CTE + Black pedagogical framework(33:15) The convening: not a conference—work, community, action (9th annual this fall)(39:35) Men's mental health + the “trifecta” that grinds Black educators down(41:55) Retention playbook + why anti-racist ecosystems retain educators(45:30) Where to follow + how to get registration updates: #WeNeedBlackTeachers(46:20) Show your mask anonymously + closing(47:10) The intergenerational power: high school + college + veteran educators in the same roomConnect with Sharif El-Mekki / Center for Black Educator DevelopmentWe Need Black Teachers (updates + newsletter): weneedblackteachers.orgHashtag: #WeNeedBlackTeachersJoin/Contribute to our Young Men's Conference: https://everforwardclub.orgJoin our Skool Community: https://www.skool.com/efc-young-mens-advocates-2345Submit Questions, Reflections, or Episode IdeasEmail us: totmpod100@gmail.comCreate your mask anonymously: https://millionmask.org/Connect with Ashanti BranchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/branchspeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BranchSpeaksX: https://x.com/BranchSpeaksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch/Website: https://www.branchspeaks.com/Support the Podcast & Ever Forward ClubHelp us continue creating spaces for young men to be seen, heard, and supported:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/branch-speaks/supportConnect with Ever Forward ClubInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/everforwardclubFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/everforwardclubX: https://x.com/everforwardclubLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-ever-forward-club/#unmaskingwithmaleeducators #takingoffthemask #millionmaskmovement #weneedblackteachers #blackmaleteachers #blackeducators #teacherretention #educationleadership #emotionalwellness

Most practice owners feel the pressure to “keep up with AI” — but few have real clarity on what actually works, what's hype, and what could quietly overwhelm their team.In this episode of the Private Practice Owners Club Podcast, host Nathan Shields sits down with Sharif Zeid, longtime EMR leader and representative of Empower EMR, for a grounded, practical conversation about where AI is truly delivering value in private practice — and where expectations need a serious reset.Drawing on years of experience working with hundreds of practices, Sharif breaks down how AI adoption is accelerating faster than any technology wave we've seen before — and why documentation, scheduling, compliance, and phone systems are at the center of that shift. They also unpack the hidden risks of chasing tools without systems, and why “AI as the solution” fails without strong operational foundations.Together, they explore:Why documentation is still AI's biggest and safest win for practicesHow generative AI (scribes, summaries, chart review) is actually being used in real clinicsWhy “perfect” AI is the wrong benchmark — and how partial wins still create massive ROIThe growing AI arms race between providers and insurance companiesWhere AI helps with compliance — and why trust-but-verify still mattersWhy billing automation is over-promised and under-delivered (for now)The real cost of stacking tools — and how to evaluate ROI per providerWhy team overwhelm is the biggest risk of fast AI adoptionThe rise of AI in phone systems, scheduling, and patient self-serviceWhy patient portals and foundational systems must come before automationHow AI should support decision-making, not replace leadershipIf you're a practice owner trying to decide where AI actually belongs in your clinic — and how to adopt it without breaking your team, your culture, or your systems — this episode offers clarity without hype.

The jury selection process is changing and evolving. Are you willing to be bold and confront jury selection challenges head-on?   This was a popular and very actionable conversation that I had with Sharif Gray last year, where we talked about what could be broken with your jury selection.   We looked at assumptions and stereotypes that are often made, and I think it's a question worth returning to as we get deeper into 2026, when you may have trials coming up on the horizon. It could be very useful to consider these suggestions and tips when you're making important decisions on selecting, or deselecting, your jury members.   Sharif turns the tables on many standard approaches and perspectives, and suggests that instead, we take potential concerns and weaknesses and turn them to our advantage. In so doing, you will demonstrate credibility, authenticity, trust and respect, for the potential jurors, the judge and even the defence.   "We're there for fairness. So I'm looking for jurors who are going to do right by my client, but I'm also looking for jurors who are going to do right by the defense. Because it's not justice if you're  going to close your eyes and just vote for my side every day of the week." - Sharif Gray.   Sharif is a trial lawyer based in Richmond, Virginia, and the host of the Courtroom Stories and Tactics podcast, where he and his guests do deep dives on topics like voir dire, jury selection, the role of the legal system, and one of my favorites: focus groups! I was honored to be a guest on Sharif's show earlier this year.   In this episode, you will learn about: Challenges in Traditional Jury Selection Building Credibility with the Jury Starting Jury Selection Right Effective Communication Techniques Building Credibility in the Courtroom Handling Juror Bias and Concerns   Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

The brothers welcome Drop Site News journalist Sharif Abdel Kouddous to the show to discuss the latest developments in Gaza, as, despite a nominal "ceasefire," Israel's genocide grinds on, and as, meanwhile, dystopian plans to remake Gaza put forward by the likes of Jared Kushner are slowly put into place, which would see Palestinians forced into biometrically controlled concentration camps as parts of the territory are plundered or developed for the enrichment of foreign investors. The conversation shows that we are entering a pivotal moment, in which either Israel's worst and most dystopian desires will be fulfilled or they will break apart—in Gaza.   Date of recording: January 27, 2026 Watch the video edition on our YouTube channel Follow us on our socials: X: @MakdisiStreet YouTube: @MakdisiStreet Insta: @Makdisist TikTok: @Makdisistreet Music by Hadiiiiii Sign up at Patreon.com/MakdisiStreet to access all the bonus content, including the latest Q&A

I'm your host, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. He is known for his winning ways at the helm as head football coach at the University of Utah, leading the Utes to historic success over 12 exciting seasons. We're talking about Ron McBride or Coach Mac as many have come to know him over the years. On this episode of the Supercast, we have the honor of sitting down with the legend and hearing firsthand about his time coaching, recruiting, and giving young athletes opportunities they never thought possible. Find out how Coach Mac is continuing his passionate work in our schools today with the Ron McBride Foundation, making sure at-risk youth have every chance to succeed. Plus, hear how Coach Mac impacted the life of one of our very own, Valley High School Principal Jacinto Peterson. [MUSIC] Anthony Godfrey: We're talking today with Coach Ron McBride. Mac, thank you so much for being here today. Coach McBride: Absolutely, Superintendent. Hey, I'm glad to be here. Anthony Godfrey: It's a real thrill. I've been telling my friends I get to talk to you today. [LAUGHTER] Coach McBride: You got to tell that to my wife. Anthony Godfrey: We have felt your support in Jordan School District through your foundation, and I think it was high time that we just talked with you about the great things that you have going and all the support that you give to our kids in need. So we just wanted to talk with you about the foundation and where that came from. Coach McBride: Actually, Lavell Edwards and myself started it nine years ago. The thing was to help the underserved kids and to give them a chance to see a brighter side of life. Basically, from the time I was in high school, junior high, I was always very involved, particularly with my teammates that were underprivileged because I came from a lower middle East LA neighborhood. So I understood, and my parents were month to month trying to keep afloat. Anthony Godfrey: So through your own experience and your experience with players who were underprivileged, you've always had this focus on helping people. Coach McBride: Absolutely, yeah. So I've always been. So when I retired from Weber, then and Lavell and I were doing the radio show on Fridays. So we said, "Let's start this foundation." West Jordan Middle was one of our first schools. Anthony Godfrey: You've done a lot of work with them consistently over the years. Coach McBride: Oh ya, lots. First of all, the principals, the vice principals, the people that worked there were outstanding. The librarian was outstanding. Anthony Godfrey: She really is. Coach McBride: Oh, yeah. And she cares. I mean, I think we did a book club was the first thing we did over there, right? Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: This was many years ago. She was so appreciative and loved the kids so much. She was so excited about what we were doing, you know. Then I loved the principal, you know, and she was awesome. Anthony Godfrey: When you're able to bring resources to a school, and you see that the school has these caring adults that are trying to do their best for kids, it's got to feel good that you know that those resources are going to the right place. Coach McBride: Well, West Jordan Middle always followed up with whatever, you know. I mean, you go over there and check with their .  . .  watch the after school program. The lady that ran it, Ivy Erickson, one of the best people in the world. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, she's done like it. Coach McBride: But first of all, she the kids, she's all into the young people. Anthony Godfrey: Right. Coach McBride: She's all into the young people that have problems and she's a good listener. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: And so she's excited about what she does. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: So it's easy to go there and watch her in action. Anthony Godfrey: Well, I'm thrilled that you picked West Jordan Middle and they really are amazing people there. Coach McBride: Yeah. Anthony Godfrey: There's been some turnover since you started. Coach McBride: Well, yeah, Dixie was a principal and she's at a bigger job. Anthony Godfrey: That's right. Coach McBride: And I tell you what, she's, first of all, her dad, I think, was a principal at that school. Anthony Godfrey: Right. That's right. Coach McBride: And she has a real history in education. Anthony Godfrey: Yes. Coach McBride: She's a great lady. You know what I mean? The great thing about when she was at West Jordan, it was always open anytime. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: We would go by to check out what they were doing or talk to the kids or whatever, but it was always very open to us. I think it was, that was the first school that, when Jerry Sloan was sick, we kind of dedicated that school to Jerry back then to begin with. So we called it “Jerry's Kids” to begin with over there. Anthony Godfrey: Wow. Coach McBride: And then, of course, Jerry had problems and finally, his problems took his life. It was too bad. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, it is. You were really instrumental in helping those after-school programs happen at West Jordan Middle School. Coach McBride: Oh, absolutely. Anthony Godfrey: That made a huge difference for those students. Coach McBride: Oh, yeah. I mean, they had-- And they had a lot of things going on. Besides sports, you know, they had Pokémon and they had chess club, it's ceramics club. So they had a lot of things. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. It was all this pent-up need from the kids and interest from the adults in providing those opportunities. Yeah, yeah. And when you come in with those resources with caring adults and needy kids, it was just an-- it's an incredible combination. Coach McBride: And they-- Anthony Godfrey: And you've allowed us to do things we couldn't do on our own. Coach McBride: Oh, absolutely. And you know, they have a lot of-- since they've kind of redid West Jordan Middle, they have a whole bunch of access to things they didn't have before. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: The shop classes are really good. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: Because, you know, in today's economy, it's important that young people know how to do a trade. Anthony Godfrey: Right. Coach McBride: Because that's where all the money is right now. Anthony Godfrey: That's right. Coach McBride: Trade-- so more young people need to go into trades because they're paying a good wage, you're going to make a good living, and you're going to be working every day. Anthony Godfrey: AI doesn't fix things or remodel things or repair things, you know? Coach McBride: Yeah, but we have a huge need in that sector. Anthony Godfrey: This feels like an extension of what you were able to do as a football coach. Coach McBride: Yeah. Anthony Godfrey: You gave kids opportunities as a football coach. Talk to me about the relationship. Coach McBride: Well, I always-- you know, we always divided the locker room into three segments because of red, yellow, and green. So the red guys were about 10% of your football team and these are guys that were underappreciated, needed academic help, needed structure help, you know? Just needed to put them on a different line. So we would put our red guys with our green guys and therefore, then they would get them to thinking a different process. Anthony Godfrey: I see. Coach McBride: The idea is to take the red guys and get them to the yellow and get the yellow to the green. So you hopefully, by the time they graduate from college, that they were all into the green zone where they could take care of their own problems, take care of their own situations, handle adversity, do things that people have to do to be successful. Anthony Godfrey: There's a lot of work off the field to help them become everything they can be. Coach McBride: It's a lot of brainwashing. [LAUGHTER] Coach McBride: So, yeah, you just have to change the way people think. Anthony Godfrey: Right. Coach McBride: And if you put them around people that think different, then they slowly buy into it. What I find now with these red people, when I go to different places in Hawaii or in the South or anything, all these kids that play for me are academic people now. That's all they want to talk about is, "Oh, my kid's in college. He's doing this. He's doing this." And all of a sudden I says, "Well, I guess you got the message a long time ago." Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, it definitely worked. So, the message was, "There's more than football, and we need to prepare you for that." Coach McBride: Yeah, football is a vehicle. And if you don't do what I say, then I can take football away from you. So therefore, the kids, they want to play football, so if they want to play football, they have to get an education, they have to become the kind of citizens you want them to become. Anthony Godfrey: Let's figure that out, yeah. Now, you coached one of our principals. Coach McBride: Oh, yeah, Jacinto. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: His story is unreal because I can still remember going to that high school, and then he was living with his grandparents in a trailer out in the middle of nowhere. I said, "Well, how do I find the trailer?" "Well, go down this dirt road, turn right at where you see this dog tied up, and then turn left, and then you'll see the trailer, right." Anthony Godfrey: Wow. Coach McBride: They were beautiful people, you know. And Jacinto's had so much success here, and I'm so proud of him because he's always been a stand-up man. Anthony Godfrey: He's an incredible leader. Coach McBride: Yeah. Anthony Godfrey: He's a great educator and he's saving a lot of kids. Coach McBride: Yeah, well, he understands it all because he lived through it. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, absolutely. When you first met Jacinto, what were your impressions? Coach McBride: Oh, I loved the kid. You know, he was easy to talk to, good communicator. I loved his grandparents, his grandma, you know. They're all just great and all they were interested is in getting this kid in a better spot for his life. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: So they all wanted the same thing. Anthony Godfrey: You accomplished that, and he's changed a lot of lives as a result. So thank you for that. You did me a big favor by sending Jacinto our way. Coach McBride: I'll tell you what, he did me a big favor by coming here. So he's the best, that kid. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, absolutely. Well, tell me about the foundation now. Tell me about your operations and how people can help if they wanted to. Coach McBride: So we started out with nothing, basically. And then we're up to, I think we got 32 schools now we support, between Ogden, Salt Lake, Canyons District. We got schools in all those places and so we gave away a little over $400,000 last year. Anthony Godfrey: Amazing. Coach McBride: In different schools. And everybody on our foundation has a school that they're responsible for. And we got, when we have our meetings, everybody reports on their schools, what's going on. And then I visit as many as I can. Anthony Godfrey: You've been very visible. Very hands on with us. Coach McBride: Yeah, because what you want to do is you can't have a foundation and then the guy's name on it, you know, who's that guy? But I love the kids because the kids are so much fun. Anthony Godfrey: Nobody says, “who's that guy?” I've seen you in school so many times, interacting with the kids, interacting with the adults. Coach McBride: Oh yeah, we have a lot of laughs when we go and then getting to know different kids and watching them go through the system. Anthony Godfrey: Sure. Coach McBride: Yeah, it's all fun. Anthony Godfrey: Middle school kids in particular, you can't help but have a good laugh when you're around middle school kids. Coach McBride: Well, middle school kids are making some decisions that are important to their lives. Because that's kind of that age group where you kind of start thinking, you know, a little more than you really should know, or you think you know more, and you're starting to question things, and you call it a growth spurt. So you got to make, you got to try to get these kids to think a little different and think beyond where they think they can be. Anthony Godfrey: They're having a growth spurt in every aspect of their lives, really. It's a big time. Coach McBride: Well, it's a huge time. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, you're right. Stay with us when we come back. More with Coach Mac and he talks with us about the recent coaching changes at the University of Utah.

Anthony Godfrey: There have been a lot of changes in the football world lately. What do you think of all the coaching shifts? Coach McBride: I'm in the middle of most of it every day because every time somebody gets leaves or something they call and say, “I'm going.” Obviously, some of those guys that Kyle took with him to Michigan were guys that played for me. A lot of staff have played for me. With Lewis Powell leaving, Doug LSI leaving, Jim Harding leaving, Jason Beck leaving. Those guys all have a history with all those guys. That was tough. I talked to most of them before they left and tried to talk them into staying. Now Morgan has hired some really good people. So it looks like Jordan Gross is going to be the old line guy, which is a great take. I think they're bringing back Noki who worked for me up at Weber as one of the D-line guys. They just hired Bumpus back as a wide receiver guy, which is a good hire. Then Colton Swan, who was my defensive coordinator at Weber, he's now the defensive coordinator. Luther's back, which is good. Colton is good. Sharif is good. Jordan will do a nice job with the offense. Kevin McGivin is going to be the offensive coordinator. He worked for me at Weber and was up at Utah State. We lost some good ones, but we hired some good ones. Anthony Godfrey: It's good to hear your take on that and your connection to all those folks. Coach McBride: The interesting thing, a guy that I coached with at Wisconsin, Fred Jackson, worked for the Michigan football program for 27 years. They retained him. Today I get a picture with him and a couple of the Utah people. They sent it to me. I said, "I can't believe how old you are, Fred." [LAUGHTER] Anthony Godfrey: When I've talked with people who worked with you in the past, they talk about kindness and loyalty. That you are just extremely loyal. When someone needs help and they ask you, you're all in. You're there to help. That's been your career and it's been your passion in retirement with this foundation. You're a dedicated loyal friend who wants to help people have a better life. Coach McBride: The whole key to our civilization are young people. What we have to do is create positives for them that they can go beyond what their parents have done. The key to the whole thing is, I want to have a positive voice on education. Anthony Godfrey: Yes. Coach McBride: The more you invest, the more you have a voice. The voice has to be positive. It can't be negative. It has to be that if you have a problem, you've got to adjust to the problem and solve it. The world is about adversity and how you handle adversity. Are you equipped? Can you handle the problem? All these kids at that middle age are asking questions, and you've got all this social media. Kids are very mean to each other, and this social media. You've got to get beyond that so somebody doesn't get their self-image spoiled. Anthony Godfrey: The negativity sticks with you. Coach McBride: Absolutely. Anthony Godfrey: It has an outsized impact way beyond. I know that even if you hear a negative comment from someone you don't know, it sticks with you at that age in ways that are so damaging. Coach McBride: Oh yeah. I mean, when I say cut out the noise, but with all these cell phones, these kids get a lot of noise. Anthony Godfrey: Like you were saying, you're lifting them at such an important time, providing these resources to our middle school kids. Coach McBride: Absolutely. Hopefully, we will continue to grow. Anthony Godfrey: If people want to help, they just go to RonMcBrideFoundation.org and they can make a donation right there. Coach McBride: Absolutely. We don't spend a lot of money paying people so we only have two people that we pay. Anthony Godfrey: You're also helping with Joel P. Jensen and with Majestic Elementary. Majestic, our elementary arts academy, a very unique place. Coach McBride: Oh my, it's so much fun over there. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, yeah. Coach McBride: How they've incorporated the music with the teaching, with the learning and very positive people. Anthony Godfrey: Oh, they are. A lot of great energy. Coach McBride: Yeah, extremely. Anthony Godfrey: You're a good match for that school. Coach McBride: Yeah, oh yeah. They're great. I like the process. It's an interesting way of education. It's an interesting way to keep the kids involved. And then your teachers over there are heavily involved in that formula. Anthony Godfrey: Oh yeah, no, they're all in. They're all trained. Coach McBride: Oh yeah. Anthony Godfrey: They approach education in a whole different way. Coach McBride: Exactly. Anthony Godfrey: And your support really makes some incredible experiences possible. So you bought the pianos for the piano lab, is that right? Coach McBride: Yeah. Anthony Godfrey: Well, I remember when we started down the academy pathway, and we wanted to make it a music school, and that was a big obstacle, is being able to get those keyboards in there. Coach McBride: Oh yeah. Well, it's all, you know, if you're going to have that kind of school, you've got to have good instruments and you've got to have a way to, you know, and you've got to make it first class. Anthony Godfrey: I received an email from someone at the state level who had attended their program right before the winter break and they were so impressed with how important this clearly was to the families of the students who were benefiting from the program when they all came there. It's just, it's a whole community impact. You've done a lot of great work with Joel P. Jensen as well, offering those after school . . . Coach McBride: Karen Moore, yeah. Anthony Godfrey: Karen Moore at... Coach McBride: Yeah, yeah. She's a good leader, very good leader. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Coach McBride: And she's great. Yeah. So yeah, you've hired some really good people in your district. Anthony Godfrey: Thank you. We really do have good people everywhere. Coach McBride: Very extremely positive role models for the kids. Anthony Godfrey: You have these strong relationships that stay because you create strong relationships to stay with. Coach McBride: Yeah, absolutely. So it doesn't stop because your eligibility is up. Anthony Godfrey: Right. Coach McBride: And you're basically in these kids' lives forever. My wife, she's on social media, I guess, with around 200 players. So every morning she's answering their questions, answering what their problems are. And then she'll come in and she'll say, "Hey, so and so's got a problem. You need to get ahold of them." So he's doing well. So we have one of the kids play for me at a heart attack two days ago. So she's been on the phone taking, "How is he? How's he doing?" And then I'm on the phone with his family. And yeah, so yeah, it's just... But that's where it's supposed to be. Anthony Godfrey: Doesn't surprise me a bit that you're still in touch with those 200 players. Coach McBride: Yeah, well, it's probably more than that. It's fun to watch them have kids and then see how they handle their kids. Anthony Godfrey: Sure, sure. Coach McBride: We've had a lot of... Kids have had a lot of success. Anthony Godfrey: That's amazing. What are some of the success stories you remember with your students that are most meaningful? Coach McBride: Well, you know, probably all starts with Joe Mosley back in high school. Overfeld High School was a minority school and Piedmont Hills was the first place that I coached. So they were busing kids from Overfeld to Piedmont, minority kids and Joe was a really good football player. So, he wasn't showing up. And he wouldn't get on a... They were busing these kids. He wouldn't get on the bus. Anthony Godfrey: Yah. Coach McBride: So then I said, "Okay, I'm going to pick you up every morning. Get you dressed. Take you to McDonald's and then we'll go to school." And he said, "You're not going to do that." I said, "Yes, I am." So I'd show up. I'd get him out of bed and make sure he got dressed. "Okay, we're on the way to McDonald's." And then I'd make sure he got home at night. I did that for maybe almost a year until I got him squared away. And then he became a leader in the school. And then he became in charge of all the gang units in San Jose. He just retired recently, so I was kind of the guest speaker at his retirement. This was 60 years ago. Anthony Godfrey: My goodness. Coach McBride: So everywhere there's a success there is a Joe Mosley story. Anthony Godfrey: Lots of stories like that. Coach McBride: And some of you failed. Anthony Godfrey: Sure. Coach McBride: I mean, so some people, you try to help them, try to put them right, and then they just keep falling back into a pattern. So sometimes you fail and I know the failures and I know why. Anthony Godfrey: A lot more successes, sounds like. Coach McBride: Well, yeah. I would say, yeah. I think we're on the positive side of— Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, for sure. Coach McBride: But there are, you know, everybody has problems. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, it's true. Well, thank you, Mac, for supporting these three schools in our district and for what you do in the broader community throughout the state and just for the positive impact you've had in Utah for so many years. Thank you. Coach McBride: Well, it's a good agenda and it's important. So it looks like we're in this for the long run. Anthony Godfrey: I love it. Thank you.
