If you are having thoughts of suicide, feeling suicidal, or have concerns that someone you know may be at risk of suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 or text HOME to 741741 to reach a crisis counselor. You are not alone.Teen suicide is one of the most challenging topics we face as a community, yet it's crucial we address it head-on. Listen to this conversation with Stanford's Shashank Joshi, MD and CHC's Jennifer Leydecker, LMFT as we talk about youth suicide and explore comprehensive prevention strategies that work at the community level. Our conversation includes an examination of what makes teens vulnerable today, including the complex role of social media and digital environments in both creating risk and offering protection. We explore how factors like LGBTQ+ identity, bullying, academic pressure, and family dynamics intersect with suicide risk, particularly here in Silicon Valley and the SF Bay Area, where we've experienced the profound loss of teens to suicide. Rather than shy away from this difficult reality, we address it directly to strengthen our prevention efforts.Resources:CHC OnlineSign Up: CHC's Parent Support GroupsCHC's Catherine T.

Coverage of the Israel-Iran conflict has been shaped by restricted access and challenges for international journalists. With few media outlets able to base reporters inside Iran, coverage often relies on external analysis, satellite imagery, and information that is difficult to independently verify. Shashank Joshi, Defence Editor at The Economist, and Shayna Oppenheimer, Journalist at BBC Monitoring, discuss. Netflix's new documentary “Grenfell: Uncovered” marks the eighth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire by highlighting corporate and regulatory failings that contributed to the tragedy. Director Olaide Sadiq explains how the team built trust with interviewees and brought to light evidence not widely known. Reddit celebrates its 20th anniversary as one of the internet's largest community-led platforms. Laura Nestler, Reddit's Global Head of Community, explains their approach to moderation and addresses concerns about AI's growing role on the platform.Presenters: Ros Atkins and Katie Razzall Producer: Lisa Jenkinson Assistant Producer: Lucy Wai

India has conducted what it has described as “precision strikes” in neighbouring Pakistan and Pakistani-controlled Kashmir, days after it blamed Islamabad for a deadly attack on the Indian side of the contested region that killed 26 people.At least 26 civilians were killed and 46 injured by the Indian strikes, according to Pakistani officials.The Indian government claimed that nine non-military targets had been hit, in what it called “Operation Sindoor”.The military operation by India represents yet another bloody chapter in the decades-long simmering conflict over Kashmir, often called the Switzerland of India because of its lakes, forests and snow-capped mountains.The contested nature of the territory means that Kashmir is one of the most militarised zones in the world.To understand what happened this week – and why – it's necessary to look back to 1947 when Pakistan and India became independent from Britain and when both claimed Kashmir.Shashank Joshi, defence Eeditor with The Economist magazine, explains the background and explores the fears of further hostilities in one of the world's most dangerous flashpoints.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

From August 2, 2023: Over the past eighteen months, Ukraine has served as the stage for a proxy battle between superpowers, with the invading Russians on one side and a U.S.-led coalition of Western allies backing Ukraine on the other. As such, it's the closest thing we've yet seen to what many military strategists believe will be the defining challenge of the next strategic era: a near-peer conflict between two or more technologically sophisticated major powers. In this way, the conflict has served as a canary in the coal mine for new military trends, tactics, and technologies that may soon be brought to bear against the West (or by it). Last month, Shashank Joshi, the Defence Editor for The Economist, published a special report in The Economist outlining what lessons military leaders in the West are taking away from the Ukraine conflict as they prepare their own militaries for their next fight. He sat down with Lawfare Senior Editor Scott R. Anderson to talk over his findings and what Ukraine can tell us about the future of war.
