Speaker: Professor Ernest Lim (National University of Singapore)This presentation explores the external dimension of directors' duties—whether directors can and should address climate impacts and other externalities even absent financial benefits to the company's shareholders—in contrast to the shareholder value maximisation focus. Its significance stems from universal investors, the EU due diligence regime, and high emitting SOEs. I examine three arguments: UK nature clauses are constrained by shareholder primacy; US shareholder preference claims are undermined by financially driven activism; and SOE directors' duties can align with state ownership (as shown in China).3CL runs the 3CL Travers Smith Lunchtime Seminar Series, featuring leading academics from the Faculty, and high-profile practitioners.For more information see the Centre for Corporate and Commercial Law website:http://www.3cl.law.cam.ac.uk/

Churchill's Spaniards: The Spanish Republicans Who Fought for Britain in WWII — with Sean F. Scullion In this episode, I speak with historian Sean F. Scullion, author of Churchill's Spaniards, about a remarkable and little-known story: the Spanish Republicans who escaped the fall of the Second Republic, endured internment under Vichy France, and later volunteered to fight in the British Army against fascism from 1940 to 1945. Drawing on multi-lingual archival work and over 110 family interviews, Scullion reconstructs the routes these veterans took—from the French Foreign Legion and North African labour camps to the Pioneer Corps, Commandos, SOE, and even the SAS—and explores why many kept fighting despite exile, wounds, and the bitter knowledge that Franco would survive the war.Scullion also discusses his research method (triangulating sources across British, French, and Spanish archives), the challenge of language barriers inside British units, the post-war lives of these men in Britain (including the Spanish Ex-Servicemen's Association and links with trade unions), and the complicated geopolitics surrounding Churchill's efforts to keep Spain out of the war.What we coverWho were “Churchill's Spaniards”? From Republican veterans to exiles who re-entered the fight under British command.Two waves of enlistment: 1940 (after service with French forces) and 1942–44 (after release from Vichy internment in North Africa).Across the theatres: Norway, North Africa, Italy, Greece, the Mediterranean, Western Europe— as far as Burma.Units and roles: From enlistment via the Pioneer Corps to transfers into infantry, Commandos, SOE, and the SAS (with c. 15 Spaniards serving in the SAS).Motivation and ideology: Anti-fascist commitment, complex politics (including anarchist backgrounds), and hopes—ultimately disappointed—that the Allies would remove Franco.After 1945: Settlement in Britain, union activism, campaigning against Franco's regime, and the memory-work of families today.About today's guestSean F. Scullion is a historian and serving British Army officer. A bilingual Spanish–English (and fluent French) researcher, he has spent nine years tracing this diaspora of Republican veterans and their wartime service under British command, combining multilingual archival research with a large and growing network of families across Britain, Spain, and France.Recommended readingSean F.

Vision Jet owner Ken joins Max Trescott to recount an unforgettable five-day training adventure that bridged the gap between piston flying and turbine jet proficiency. As a longtime Cirrus SR22 pilot from the Boston area, Ken had spent nearly a decade flying for both business and family trips, rarely exceeding 300 nautical miles from home. When he decided to upgrade to a 2019 G2 Vision Jet, he wanted more than a checkout—he wanted a head start on mastering the airplane before tackling the Cirrus type rating course in Knoxville.   In this episode, Ken explains how his "pre-SOE" plan came together. After reaching out to Max, the two pilots scheduled nearly a week of flying to experience diverse weather, airports, and procedures. The goal: to learn the G3000 avionics, improve cockpit workflow, and build real-world familiarity before entering formal training. Their first day took them from Bedford, Massachusetts, to Burlington, Vermont, and then to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where Max demonstrated how to safely cancel IFR and load a visual approach when haze and sun glare limited visibility. That night, while returning to Bedford, they learned the importance of aiming for runway aiming points—not the numbers—especially during night landings in jets. Day two brought a new challenge: deciding whether to fly west toward the Rockies or south toward better weather. A massive cold front made the decision easy, and the pair headed south instead. After a scenic leg along Long Island to Atlantic City, Ken received what Max called "the longest IFR clearance ever." Rather than manually entering the clearance into the G3000, Max showed how to import the flight plan directly from ForeFlight—a huge time-saver for managing long routes. That evening's destination was Greene County, Georgia (3J7), near Ken's in-laws' home at Lake Oconee. The stop held sentimental value: it was the same airport where Ken had first landed years earlier with his brand-new SR22. The next morning brought low fog and another teachable moment. When poor cell coverage prevented them from obtaining an IFR release, Max used the Vision Jet's SAT phone to call clearance delivery—a practical use for a feature many pilots overlook. Later that day, while practicing a VX climb—a maximum-performance takeoff used for steep departure gradients—Ken forgot to raise the landing gear, a common mistake during the high-workload maneuver. The oversight led to a discussion about better cues, timing, and division of tasks between pilots to avoid forgetting critical steps. They also discovered that one set of keys had been left in the cabin door—a harmless but memorable moment that required returning to the airport to retrieve them. From Georgia, they flew to Asheville, North Carolina, for real-world mountain experience, and then to John C. Tune Airport in Nashville. When ATC issued a last-minute vector, Max demonstrated how to safely "do nothing"—allowing the autopilot to intercept as planned instead of overcomplicating things. On day four, they returned to Boston. At night, controllers twice ignored their request for an ILS approach into Bedford, forcing a visual approach at higher altitude and steeper descent rates. Max explained why instrument approaches at night are always safer, and how overworked controllers sometimes inadvertently increase pilot workload. The final day offered a lighter tone: a short hop to Nantucket, one of Ken's favorite destinations. There, Max illustrated how adjusting throttle settings and altitude can drastically change fuel burn—saving nearly 18 gallons on a short leg by reducing power. Ken wrapped up by reflecting on what he gained from the experience: confidence, familiarity with the Vision Jet's systems, and a deeper appreciation for proactive learning. "I encourage other pilots to build their own syllabus," he said, "because flying with an instructor like Max before formal training was both incredibly valuable and a lot of fun." Whether you fly a Cirrus SR22 or aspire to own a Vision Jet, this episode is packed with insights about transition training, pre-type preparation, and real-world decision-making that can make any pilot safer and more capable.

This week, Mitch and Dawn discuss the proposal to change port oversight, citizens pleading with state legislators to reverse SB 180, the SOE audit, ICE hiring faux pas, and dueling efforts to "protect" the upcoming elections.

In this gripping episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill welcomes back acclaimed historian Dr Helen Fry to uncover the hidden world of Belgium's wartime intelligence networks — the unsung heroes of espionage who risked everything to fight from behind enemy lines. Drawing from her new book The White Lady, Helen reveals how Belgian agents shaped the course of both World Wars, often at extraordinary personal cost.Far from the glamorous myths of spies in tuxedos and coded martinis, this conversation exposes the real stories of courage, sacrifice, and moral complexity. You'll hear how intelligence flowed from occupied Belgium to Britain, how messages were smuggled in the most ingenious ways, and why Belgium's location made it one of the most important hubs of wartime espionage.Helen also explores the vital – and too often overlooked – role of women in intelligence, from couriers and code-runners to key figures in networks like the White Lady. These were ordinary citizens performing extraordinary acts of defiance, held together by trust, loyalty, and an unwavering sense of duty.If you think WWII espionage was all about the SOE and France, think again. This episode pulls back the curtain on a hidden front of the intelligence war, filled with daring operations, hidden heroes, and a vast archive of untold stories waiting to be rediscovered.

It may not be at risk right now, but the signs aren't promising. And politicians everywhere will seize on the mood to pull that level, to ease their own policies that don't deliver. The juice of monetary stimulus is just too enticing, the risks be damned.First in the US, investors are expecting Nvidia's earnings to be reported after the NYSE closing at 8am NZT, seen as a key test for the AI boom driving markets. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are marginally higher in advance of that, while Nvidia shares are little-changed. But the derivatives market in the stock is set for a -6% swing and if that happens, that will be a -NZ$500 bln fall - probably the biggest movement of any economic metric today anywhere in the world. We will know soon enough.Some think we should also watch the share price in Costco and Walmart. They both have lofty valuations that raise the risk of serious correction. These three are all enormous companies - Nvidia has a market cap of an eye-watering US$4.4 tln, Costco US$420 bln, and Walmart is US$770 bln. In each case that is way more than New Zealand's GDP. Walmart plus Costco is approaching Australia's GDP.Staying in the US there was little data out overnight. The volume of mortgage applications softened by -0.5% last week from the previous week, extending the -1.4% trim from the prior month. Applications to refinance an existing mortgage fell by -3.5% offsetting the +2.2% increase in applications for a mortgage to buy a new home.Separately, American officials are decrying the intelligence efforts by the Chinese Ministry of State Security and their 'Salt Typhoon' operation. But they have been caught running covert operations in Greenland. The Dames are unimpressed. Trump's America is no-one's friend. Even at home, his militarisation of local policing, grabbing shares in companies without paying, are worrying developments. His efforts to subvert the Fed are just part of an effective quiet rolling coup with a much broader agenda. These are stand-over tactics that will undermine the US reputation for generations.In Taiwan, their industry may be going at full tilt, but consumer sentiment is actually weakening. An August survey there shows it at its weakest level since April 2023, as five of six key indicators deteriorated.Chinese industrial profits fell again in July, down -1.7% from a year ago in July. They fell -7.5% for SOE's but were up +1.8% for private businesses.Yesterday, there was a big surprise in data released today in Australia on inflation. Their monthly indicator had fallen consistently to 1.9% in June. The RBA was relieved. But the July level came in at 2.8%, an unexpectedly large jump. There will be head-scratching. Higher electricity prices (+13.1%) are getting the blame.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.24%, down -1 bp from yesterday at this time. Long bond yields, especially the 30 year, are rising more quickly now. The price of gold will start today at US$3,395/oz, up +US$14 from yesterday.American oil prices have risen +50 USc to US$64/bbl with the international Brent price now just under US$68/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is at just on 58.6 USc and little-changed from yesterday at this time. Against the Aussie we are down -30 bps at 90.3 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at 50.4 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 66.3, and little-changed from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$112,400 and up +2.4% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/- 1.2%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

Today's BizNews Briefing spotlights multimillion-rand salaries for underperforming SOE bosses, more political parties withdrawing from the national dialogue, and PRASA's R2.5bn refurbishment scandal. Internationally, Donald Trump prepares for a high-stakes summit with Vladimir Putin, while markets eye possible Fed rate cuts. Plus, Apple readies ambitious AI-powered devices, and the Springboks gear up for their Rugby Championship clash with Australia at Ellis Park.

Green finance has been a hot topic for several years, and in some respects China is an overall leader in green finance -- at least in terms of the overall volume of green bonds and green loans. More green finance products are coming out at a steady stream. So what does all this mean for China's energy transition? Has it really helped, and is it contributing to greening China's investments abroad? In today's podcast, we talk to longtime Beijing Energy Network green finance guru Calvin Quek about these and other questions. Calvin is the Executive Director, Nature Finance, Oxford Sustainable Finance Group, and he is also Director at Transition Asia. Previously he was Senior Environmental Specialist at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) in Beijing. We specifically discuss a column Calvin authored together with Mathias Larsen, Research Associate at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs and Non-resident Fellow at the Green Finance and Development Center at Fudan University.  The column, 'What other countries can learn from how China financed a green transformation,' was published in Environmental Finance and can be found here: https://www.environmental-finance.com/content/analysis/what-other-countries-can-learn-from-how-china-financed-a-green-transformation.html.  Here's a look at the discussion: 2:00 What is green finance? What does it mean, in terms of incentives and disincentives for investment decisions or corporate decisions? 4:07 What are green bonds and how do green bonds in China differ? 5:27 What is the evidence about where funds from green bonds and loans go in China? (Short answer: we have limited data, and there is some evidence that funds don't necessarily go to green activities.) 6:45 What is a taxonomy? 9:20 Are green taxonomies or green finance instruments still going towards ‘clean coal' or fossil fuels, and is that still a live part of the debate in China? (Short answer: yes.) 9:45 Did green finance play any role in China becoming the leader in clean energy technology? If so, how big?  (Short answer: yes, but only a small role.) 12:30 Additionality: In general, financing costs for favored sectors and for SOE-built infrastructure is already benefitting from incredibly low costs of capital. So in that context, is green finance providing any additional incentive – at least in China? 15:00 If most green finance goes to SOE projects that might have happened anyway, does it help some marginal green projects around the edges, or does the huge state sector actually crowd out green finance for marginal projects and innovative new tech? 16:45 For green hydrogen or other technologies that are not close to economic viability on their own, green finance is not going to make the difference? 18:00 Role of green finance in China's overseas investments. 23:00 If green energy is more distributed, does that work against China's green finance model, based on large loans for big projects? Or can small be beautiful?  

La Seconde Guerre Mondiale fut un véritable nid d'espions, si bien qu'il était parfois difficile de savoir qui jouait sur plusieurs tableaux... Cette semaine, Secrets d'Agents vous propose de redécouvrir les histoires de trois agents redoutables mais controversés.En débarquant en France au cours de l'année 1943 pour préparer une vaste opération visant à détourner l'attention de l'ennemi, aucun agent du réseau de résistance Prosper-Physician ne soupçonne que la Gestapo est prête à les accueillir. La consternation fait place au doute, il y a un traître au sein du SOE, le service secret britannique. Mais qui ? Il faut attendre le 22 novembre 1946 pour poser un nom et un visage.

Send us a textPeople have so many about varied ideas about the existence of God nd His plan. Some see Him as a judge, waiting to com down with the hammer. Others see Him as their favorite uncle, who always gives good things. Soe have a hard time seeing Him  at all.So what is the heart of God and what is His heard toward the world? That's what we address in this message. Once someone understands this, it would be very difficu7lt to not be drawn to Him.

Il faut exfiltrer au plus vite les agents survivants. Nicholas Bodington, qui se trouve à Paris durant l'été 1943 pour évaluer la situation sur le terrain, veut s'assurer que son vieil ami Henri puisse rejoindre Londres en toute sécurité.

Phil returns to the secret side of WW2 with the incredible story of Elzbieta Zawacka, the WW2 female resistance fighter known as Agent Zo. As writer Clare Mulley explains, she was the only woman to reach London from Warsaw during the Second World War as an emissary of the Polish Home Army command, and then in Britain she became the only woman to join the Polish elite Special Forces, known as the 'Silent Unseen'. She was secretly trained in the British countryside, and then the only female member of these SOE affiliated forces to be parachuted back behind enemy lines to Nazi-occupied Poland. There, whilst being hunted by the Gestapo who arrested her entire family, she took a leading role in the Warsaw Uprising and the liberation of Poland.After the war she was demobbed as one of the most highly decorated women in Polish history. Yet the Soviet-backed post-war Communist regime not only imprisoned her, but also ensured that her remarkable story remained hidden for over forty years.You can buy Claire's book here...https://www.amazon.com/Agent-Zo-Fearless-Resistance-Elzbieta/dp/1399601067There's also information and extracts from Phil's new book here...https://sites.google.com/view/1945thereckoning/homeYou can order his book now on Amazon UK and Amazon Australia, India and NZ - and it is available all around the world as an e-book and an audio book...https://www.amazon.co.uk/1945-Reckoning-Empire-Struggle-World/dp/139971449X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=#***We now have a Thank You button (next to the 'three dots') for small donations that help support our work***Looking for the perfect gift for a special scandalous someone - or someone you'd like to get scandalous with?

Buenos días, miércoles, es 18 de junio del 2025. No ha dimitido Pedro Sánchez. Les doy a ustedes por leer el Times de buena mañana y ahora les cuento lo del Times y crean que este hombre ha entrado en un periodo de reflexión. No, no, no. Esta mañana nos promete emociones fuertes porque el capitán Pedro atraca con todos los gurumetes en el Congreso de los Diputados. Hay sesión de control y esa sesión de control no va a ser amable, necesariamente amable. Y no va a ser agradable porque el pollo que ha montado para no tener que comparecer hasta el 9 de julio para hablar de la corrupción del SOE ...

En el que hemos amanecido con una inquietud, habrá comido ya Pedro Sánchez que ayer decía esto. Bueno, son las cinco, no he comido, creo que también es importante y me gustaría me gustaría acabar con ello, ¿no? Es es esto es de psicopatía de libro. Solo preocuparse por las funciones elementales que le incumben a él. Me recordaba aquel otro que hablaba así. Yo estaba esperando que me pusiera de comer y no me ha puesto todavía. Claro, pues es que cómo se puede dirigir un país sin comer a las cinco de la tarde. Porque es que ayer hubo ejecutiva del SOE. Hoy hay muchas muchas formas de ...

Oui, c'est tout à fait vrai — c'est un de ces petits épisodes insolites et méconnus de la guerre secrète menée par les Britanniques pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.Les services secrets britanniques, notamment la branche des opérations spéciales connue sous le nom de SOE (Special Operations Executive), étaient passés maîtres dans l'art de la guerre non conventionnelle : sabotage, désinformation, gadgets… et même utilisation de poil à gratter !Le produit en question était effectivement fabriqué à partir de la poudre de graines de pois mascate (Mucuna pruriens), une plante tropicale dont les poils provoquent une démangeaison intense au contact de la peau. Les Britanniques appelaient cette poudre Itching Powder.Le but était de perturber le moral et le confort des marins allemands. La poudre était clandestinement répandue sur les vêtements, notamment sur les sous-vêtements, les chaussettes ou les uniformes. Pour cela, des agents et des résistants pouvaient intervenir dans les ports où les navires allemands faisaient escale, ou contaminer les lots de vêtements envoyés aux forces allemandes.Bien sûr, cette arme était plus psychologique que stratégique. On ne s'attendait pas à faire couler des navires avec du poil à gratter ! Mais il est avéré qu'au moins une fois, un navire allemand a été contraint de faire demi-tour vers le port pour que l'équipage puisse se débarrasser des vêtements contaminés, les démangeaisons étant insupportables et rendant la vie à bord invivable.Ces méthodes illustrent bien l'esprit d'innovation des Britanniques dans la guerre secrète. En parallèle des actions de sabotage plus classiques, ils expérimentaient des moyens de semer le désordre et le malaise chez l'ennemi, parfois avec une bonne dose d'humour noir.On ignore en revanche l'ampleur réelle de cette tactique : les archives et témoignages sur ces opérations restent rares. Mais ce fait est bien documenté dans les travaux d'historiens de la guerre secrète, et cité par exemple dans les livres sur les "gadgets" du SOE ou sur les techniques de guerre psychologique utilisées par les Alliés.Donc oui : c'est une histoire véridique… et un excellent sujet pour piquer la curiosité de tes auditeurs !

This month's episode looks at the history of Chinese industrialization by focusing on Anshan Iron and Steel Works or Angang, located in Manchuria. Long portrayed as the quintessential model of Mao-era socialist industrialization, Angang, as Koji Hirata shows, was, in many ways, built on the material and ideological foundations laid by imperial Japan and nationalist China. Moving forward in time, Hirata analyzes Angang's role in the making of socialist China, including revealing the relativley understudied political tensions that existed within China's largest state-owned enterprise (SOE) between factory directors, who answered to Beijing, and local party officials in Anshan; the political education of workers; and much more. The episode concludes by taking a long look at Anshan's shifting fortunes—and Manchuria, more broadly—amid a series of reforms during the late 20th century, and its transformation into a Chinese Rustbelt.

By Adam Turteltaub Sevda Huseynova is the Ethics and Compliance Officer for SOCAR Midstream, a state-owned enterprise (SOE) in Azerbaijan. The company manages the oil and gas export pipelines of the country. If you think working for an SOE means you don't have to worry about compliance, she warns you to think again. SOEs still faces risk in a wide range of areas including anticorruption, sanctions, third parties and more. Investors want to ensure that the company operates up to global standards, which isn't always easy since compliance is relatively new in Azerbaijan. SOCAR midstream is up to the task, though, she reports. The company seeks to comply with local laws as well as international standards such as those of the OECD and the UN Convention on Corruption. To meet its goals, the compliance program is based on the seven elements approach found in most compliance programs and has three tiers addressing prevention, detection and corrective actions. She advises others working in SOEs to embrace five key strategies: Gain leadership buy-in and the corresponding tone at the top Customize the program to the SOE context Build a strong compliance infrastructure with adequate support Strengthen third party management Monitor, measure and improve on a continuous basis Listen in to learn more about the challenges and opportunities of compliance programs in an SOE.

In 1942, several years into the Second World War, the British government sent out a series of bulletins requesting any personal photos the public might have of the French coastline. Odette Hallowes, a French woman living in the UK with her three young children, answered the call and was invited to London where she was offered a role in the Special Operations Executive (SOE). The SOE, formed under the direct orders of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, aimed to create a top-secret underground army to help local resistance movements and conduct espionage and sabotage in enemy-held territories. Odette eventually agreed and arrived in France in November 1942, where she worked undercover, under the code-name ‘Lise'.The following year, Odette was captured, interrogated, and tortured by the Gestapo. She was sentenced to death and transported to Ravensbrück, a concentration camp for women in northern Germany. In the midst of her suffering and isolation, Odette found solace in the most unexpected form – a tiny, beautiful green leaf on the otherwise desolate camp grounds. This leaf became her lifeline, a symbol of freedom beyond the prison walls.Shortly after her 33rd birthday and with the war coming to a close, Odette was handed over to the advancing American army and eventually reunited with her children. For her remarkable bravery and stark refusal to betray her fellow secret agents, she was awarded both the George Cross and France's Légion d'Honneur. She even had a major film made about her.Almost 80 years later, Odette's granddaughter, Sophie Parker was looking through some of Odette's possessions when she rediscovered that tiny leaf. As Sophie recounts, this leaf wasn't just a piece of foliage; it symbolised hope and survival and became a tangible connection to her grandmother's incredible story.Presenter: Asya Fouks Producer: Thomas Harding AssinderGet in touch: liveslessordinary@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp: 0044 330 678 2784

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm kicking off a new series of Patreon Picks with a selection from TWoRP Legionnaire Georges! Georges requested I take a look at 2024's The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare so I opted to pair it with another "SOE on a Mission" flick, 1968's Where Eagles Dare.
