What does it mean to come of age in a place where violence is a daily fact of life? Ashraf Zaghal's debut novel, Seven Heavens Away, is about a Palestinian teen named Aziz. Like any teen, he's growing up, working part-time and learning how to navigate love and loss … but he's also living through escalating violence and unrest in Jerusalem. When Aziz's friend is killed, he grapples with grief and an uncertain future. While his involvement in Palestinian resistance efforts grows, he also starts to harbour feelings for a Jewish girl named Dafna. This week, Ashraf tells Mattea about being a teenager living through constant tragedy, the role of religion in the story and how it felt to return to Palestine while writing the novel.Liked this conversation?

In this powerful episode of What Are You Made Of?, host Mike “C-Roc” sits down with visionary educator and MindSoil strategist Kohila Sivas, creator of the groundbreaking Readiness OS™—a soul-rooted, science-aligned framework designed to transform how people learn, think, and grow.Kohila shares her remarkable journey from surviving civil war in Sri Lanka and immigrating to Canada as a young child, to facing isolation, language barriers, and a life-altering moment at age 12 that forced her to confront the power of her own mind. Through those experiences, she discovered a life-changing insight: our brains create stories, but we are not our thoughts—and learning how to question those narratives can completely reshape our lives.Kohila reflects on how muting herself for years due to language struggles, the encouragement of a teacher who believed in her, and her deep connection with mathematics helped rebuild her confidence and curiosity. What began as tutoring eventually evolved into transformational coaching, where she focused not on grades but on rewiring how students think, learn, and see themselves. Encouraged by her husband to expand her impact, Kohila went on to develop Readiness OS™ and license her methodology to educators around the world. In this inspiring conversation, she and C-Roc explore the power of mindset, questioning the stories our brains tell us, and how turning adversity into purpose can lead to profound personal and educational transformation.Website: https://www.wholisticsuccesscodes.com/Social Media Links/Handles:https://www.facebook.com/kohilacoach/https://www.linkedin.com/m/in/kohila-sivas-2502297a/https://www.instagram.com/kohila_sivashttps://www.facebook.com/WholisticSuccessCodes/https://www.youtube.com/@WholisticSuccessCodes

Kyle Kingsbury welcomes back Michael Trainer for a wide-ranging conversation about nature, healing, rites of passage, and connection. Trainer recounts being violently jumped at 12 in Spain, developing obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and choosing extreme “exposure therapy” by moving to Sri Lanka during civil war, where he was mentored by a seventh-generation healer in a secret Ayurvedic shamanic tradition and witnessed trance, ceremony, and what he describes as inexplicable phenomena. He discusses subsequent men's work and grief practices, including guidance from Martín Prechtel and a four-year men's group, plus synchronistic experiences with animals and indigenous ceremonies. Trainer introduces his forthcoming book, “Resonance: The Art and Science of Human Connection,” using music and coherence to address modern loneliness and help people “tune” themselves and find their community, while Kyle also shares about his “Kingdom Within” community and shares a plant-based approach to Texas cedar allergies.   Connect with Michael Trainer here: Instagram All Links   From Kyle: The Community is coming!

La crisis en Oriente Próximo ha dejado a cientos de españoles varados por Asia, con una situación especialmente crítica en Sri Lanka, donde un grupo de más de 350 personas se ha organizado en un chat de WhatsApp para coordinarse. La causa es la cancelación de vuelos que hacen escala en los países del Golfo. Sara Prieto, abogada y una de las administradoras de estos grupos, ha descrito la situación en 'Herrera en COPE'.Prieto explica que, aunque su vuelo estaba previsto para mañana, la incertidumbre es total. "Los únicos que sé que han salido [...] es con la compañía de Emirates", señala, mientras el resto de aerolíneas "están cancelando absolutamente todo". Esto ha provocado que los precios se disparen, con billetes que alcanzan entre 1.500 y 4.000 euros por rutas que, a menudo, son canceladas posteriormente. "La gente está muy histérica aquí, están comprando vuelos a 4.000 euros por persona".La queja principal de los afectados es la falta de apoyo institucional. El ...

El conflicto en Irán y Oriente Próximo eleva las tensiones geopolíticas y económicas globales. Tras el nombramiento del sucesor de Ali Jameeney, Israel ataca instalaciones petrolíferas iraníes, lo que paraliza el tráfico en el estrecho de Ormuz. Irán responde atacando refinerías, disparando el precio del petróleo un 20% hasta superar los 100 dólares y duplicando el del gas. El IBEX 35 registra pérdidas. Cientos de españoles se encuentran varados en Asia, principalmente en Sri Lanka, debido al cierre del espacio aéreo del Golfo Pérsico, que cancela rutas y encarece vuelos hasta 4.000 euros. Denuncian la escasez de información y asistencia consular. La situación impacta fuertemente la economía española. Las rutas marítimas se desvían por el Cabo de Buena Esperanza, aumentando el transporte de mercancías entre dos y tres semanas y duplicando los costes de flete, lo que repercute directamente en el precio final al consumidor. Panaderos y pequeñas empresas sufren la subida del combustible ...

Báo động trước tình trạng ngược đãi những người lao động bị cưỡng bức, trong đó có không ít nạn nhân là người Việt Nam, tại các trung tâm lừa đảo trực tuyến ở các nước Đông Nam Á, Văn phòng Cao ủy Nhân quyền Liên Hiệp Quốc ngày 20/02/2026 đã kêu gọi cộng đồng quốc tế hành động chống lại tệ nạn này. Riêng Việt Nam đang phối hợp với Cam Bốt và những đối tác khác ở Đông Nam Á để triệt hạ các đường dây lừa đảo xuyên quốc gia. Trong một báo cáo được công bố vào năm 2023, Liên Hiệp Quốc ước tính hàng trăm ngàn người đã bị cưỡng bức tuyển dụng để thực hiện các vụ lừa đảo trực tuyến. Báo cáo mới, dựa trên lời khai của các nạn nhân và các cuộc phỏng vấn với các cảnh sát và đại diện của xã hội dân sự, mô tả các vi phạm nhân quyền nghiêm trọng mà những người bị buộc phải làm việc trong các trung tâm này phải gánh chịu.  Báo cáo ghi nhận các trường hợp tra tấn, ngược đãi, bóc lột, lạm dụng tình dục, cưỡng bức phá thai, bỏ đói và biệt giam. Một nạn nhân từ Sri Lanka khai rằng những người không đạt chỉ tiêu hàng tháng về lừa đảo đã bị dìm xuống nước hàng giờ trong các bể nước (gọi là 'nhà tù nước'). Các nạn nhân cũng kể lại việc bị ép buộc chứng kiến, thậm chí tham gia vào những hành vi vi phạm nhân quyền nghiêm trọng này. Một nạn nhân người Bangladesh cho biết anh ta được lệnh đánh đập những người lao động cưỡng bức khác, và một nạn nhân người Ghana mô tả việc bị ép buộc phải chứng kiến ​​bạn mình bị đánh đập. Một nạn nhân người Việt Nam kể lại việc em gái mình bị đánh đập, bị chích điện, bị nhốt trong phòng và bị bỏ đói trong bảy ngày vì đã toan đào thoát. Liên Hiệp Quốc lên án tình trạng những nạn nhân này bị xác định sai là tội phạm và bị truy tố hình sự, hoặc bị trừng phạt thay vì được bảo vệ. Từ nhiều năm qua, Cam Bốt đã trở thành “thiên đường” cho các tổ chức tội phạm điều hành ngành công nghiệp lừa đảo trị giá hàng tỷ đô la. Một báo cáo năm 2024 của Viện Hòa bình Hoa Kỳ ước tính doanh thu từ các vụ lừa đảo mạng ở Cam Bốt vượt quá 12,5 tỷ đô la mỗi năm, tương đương một nửa tổng sản phẩm nội địa (GDP) của nước này. Viện tư vấn Stimson Center, trụ sở chính tại thủ đô Washington của Mỹ, có một dự án về chống lừa đảo trên mạng, tập hợp các nhà khoa học cũng như các nhà hoạch định chính sách và cả đại diện các tập đoàn công nghệ như Google hoặc Meta. Sau ba năm thực hiện, vừa rồi họ đã tổ chức hội thảo tại Bangkok để tổng kết và đánh giá về những chiến dịch triệt hạ các trung tâm lừa đảo ở Cam Bốt. Tham gia dự án này có tiến sĩ Lương Thanh Hải, một nhà tội phạm học, hiện là giảng viên Trường Tư pháp hình sự và tội phạm học Griffith, Úc. Trả lời phỏng vấn RFI Việt ngữ ngày 05/03/2026, ông Lương Thanh Hải cho biết:  "Hơn nửa năm trở lại đây, từ giữa năm 2025 cho đến đầu năm 2026, dưới áp lực mạnh mẽ từ cộng đồng quốc tế, từ Mỹ, Trung Quốc, Hàn Quốc và một số nước Đông Nam Á, chính quyền Cam Bốt đã mở một chiến dịch quy mô rất lớn nhằm triệt phá các khu phức hợp lừa đảo trực tuyến ( scams compound ). Tất nhiên để đánh giá một kết quả tổng thể đòi hỏi những số liệu cụ thể và hiện nay thì chúng tôi vẫn đang cập nhật để có số liệu cụ thể chính xác. Nhưng sơ bộ thì trong vòng nửa năm trở lại đây, chính quyền Cam Bốt đã đánh sập được gần 200 trung tâm lừa đảo. Có thể nói là đây là một con số khá ấn tượng. Trong cuộc tọa đàm vừa rồi, chúng tôi cũng đã tổng kết sơ bộ ít nhất có hơn 173 nhân vật cầm đầu đã bị bắt và khoảng trên dưới 11.000 người tham gia đã bị trục xuất khỏi Cam Bốt. Hàng ngàn người là nạn nhân bị ép lừa đảo đã thoát khỏi các trung tâm đó. Đầu tháng 2 vừa rồi, chúng tôi cũng ghi nhận, đặc biệt là sau khi quân đội Thái Lan tiến hành công kích và triệt phá các khu phức hợp, các sòng bài lớn ở Cam Bốt, người ta đã phát hiện các đối tượng sử dụng trang phục cảnh sát của ít nhất là 7 nước như Úc, Brazil, Việt Nam, Indonesia, Singapore v.v... Đây có thể nói là những bằng chứng rõ nhất cho thấy các ổ lừa đảo này hoạt động hết sức  tinh vi, sử dụng các trang phục của lực lượng thực thi pháp luật nhằm tạo ra những kịch bản y như một cuộc thẩm vấn của cảnh sát liên bang Úc, hay của cảnh sát Việt Nam, cảnh sát Singapore..., để lừa đảo, thậm chí là đưa ra các kịch bản bắt bớ, khởi tố..., khiến các nạn nhân dễ bị đánh gục. Chính quyền Cam Bốt đầu năm vừa rồi đã đưa ra được một con số khá ấn tượng là đã giảm được khoảng 50% hoạt động lừa đảo trực tuyến sau các chiến dịch mạnh như vậy. Tất nhiên con số đó cũng cần phải được thẩm định.  Ngoài ra một số trùm mạng lưới, đặc biệt là Trần Chí ( Chen Zhi ), một đối tượng cầm đầu đã bị chính quyền Hoa Kỳ phong tỏa các tài sản và dưới áp lực của Mỹ, Cam Bốt cuối cùng cũng đã triển khai các chiến dịch và bắt được trùm lừa đảo này. Đầu năm vừa rồi, Trần Chí bị dẫn độ theo yêu cầu của chính quyền Trung Quốc đưa về Trung Quốc xét xử. Giới nghiên cứu chúng tôi tiếp tục cập nhật và hy vọng chính phủ Trung Quốc sẽ công bố những thông tin minh bạch, cũng như các bản án cụ thể, để chúng tôi từ góc độ tội phạm học có thể phân tích sâu hơn tại sao và như thế nào mà một trùm lừa đảo như Trần Chí lại có thể đi sâu và điều hành cả một tập đoàn lớn như vậy ở Cam Bốt trong rất nhiều năm. Sau khi phá được nhiều chuyên án lớn như vậy, nhiều tổ chức quốc tế cho rằng các đường dây này chỉ tạm thời giải tán thôi và rồi sẽ lại di chuyển sang địa phận khác. Các hoạt động tuyển dụng lao động của những trung tâm lừa đảo vẫn tiếp tục trên mạng xã hội. Bởi vì xét đến cùng, công nghiệp lừa đảo này ở Cam Bốt vẫn có quy mô cực lớn, có thể kiếm siêu lợi nhuận hàng chục tỷ đồng mỗi năm. Nói cách khác, chiến dịch này đã gây xáo trộn lớn, nhưng chưa thực sự triệt tiêu được hệ sinh thái đối với loại tội phạm lừa đảo qua mạng này." Hơn nữa, không chỉ có người Trung Quốc hay người Cam Bốt, mà có cả người Việt Nam điều hành đường dây lừa đảo ở xứ Chùa Tháp. Theo báo chí Việt Nam, ngày 13/02, Công an Đồng Nai phối hợp Cục An ninh mạng và phòng, chống tội phạm sử dụng công nghệ cao (Bộ Công an) đã tạm giữ Nguyễn Thị Vân, 30 tuổi, cùng 13 người khác để điều tra hành vi Lừa đảo chiếm đoạt tài sản. Nguyễn Thị Vân được xác đinh là cầm đầu đường dây lừa đảo 2.500 tỷ đồng của hàng ngàn nạn nhân, hoạt động tại Cam Bốt. Các nhà điều tra cho biết đây là một trong những vụ án đầu tiên bắt giữ được chủ mưu là người Việt Nam, tự đầu tư cơ sở hạ tầng quy mô lớn và vận hành hệ thống lừa đảo tại nhiều địa điểm ở Cam Bốt. Ngày 25/02, đến lượt Cơ quan Cảnh sát Điều tra Công an tỉnh Tây Ninh ra thông báo tìm những ai là nạn nhân của Huỳnh Nguyễn Ngọc Huy trong vụ án lừa đảo qua mạng xã hội để mua bán người. Cụ thể, Huy dùng tài khoản Facebook "Huy Trần" đăng tin tuyển dụng giả giới thiệu các “việc nhẹ lương cao” để lừa gạt nạn nhân đưa sang Cam Bốt. Tại đây, các nạn nhân bị ép buộc làm việc, nếu muốn về nước phải trả tiền chuộc rất cao, hoặc bị bán tiếp sang các công ty lừa đảo khác. Nhà tội phạm học Lương Thanh Hải giải thích:  "Qua nghiên cứu từ thực tiễn, cũng như về lý thuyết, chúng tôi gọi đó là sự trùng lặp, sự lặp lại giữa nạn nhân và thủ phạm. Chúng tôi hay dùng thuật ngữ offender - victim overlap. Họ là những nạn nhân đã bị dụ dỗ để sang làm, bị ép buộc, được đào tạo từng bước một, từng kịch bản một và thậm chí đóng các kịch bản lực lượng thực thi pháp luật của nước A, nước B, nước C để lừa ngược lại. Thậm chí khi bị nhốt vào các trung tâm lừa đảo này, họ bị ép buộc phải đạt được chỉ số KPI ( chỉ số đo lường và đánh giá hiệu quả hoạt động ), hàng ngày hàng giờ phải thực hiện bao nhiêu cuộc lừa đảo. Thành thử họ không còn lựa chọn nào khác, buộc phải làm ngày làm đêm, thậm chí phải lừa cả người thân trong gia đình, bạn bè của họ ở Việt Nam, lôi kéo sang để lại trở thành nạn nhân của các vụ lừa đảo qua mạng tiếp theo. Trong khoảng hai năm trở lại đây, công an Việt Nam cũng đã phối hợp khá chặt chẽ với các lực lượng thực thi pháp luật của khu vực Đông Nam Á, thông qua các kênh chính thống, ví dụ như ASEANAPOL, tức là Hiệp hội cảnh sát trưởng của các nước ASEAN, hoặc là thông qua các đối tác song phương giữa cảnh sát và bộ Nội Vụ của Vương Quốc Cam Bốt hoặc Thái Lan. Đã có nhiều cuộc giải cứu thành công, ví dụ mới đây công an tỉnh Tuyên Quang đã giải cứu và đưa được khoảng 74 nghi phạm từ Cam Bốt và Việt Nam trong một vụ lừa đảo lên đến hàng nghìn tỷ đồng. Hiện nay, Việt Nam được đánh giá là một những nước đầu tiên của khu vực Đông Nam Á đang hướng tới áp dụng nguyên tắc "không hình phạt" đối với nạn nhân, nếu như chứng minh được họ là nạn nhân của các vụ ép buộc lừa đảo trực tuyến. Điều này cũng đã được cụ thể hóa trong luật về phòng chống buôn bán người của Việt Nam được sửa đổi năm 2024 và có hiệu lực từ tháng 7/2025. Về góc độ chính sách và pháp luật, chúng tôi cho đấy là một trong những bước tiến rất đáng ghi nhận từ chính quyền Việt Nam." Một cơ sơ pháp lý khác để Việt Nam có thể tăng cường hợp tác với các nước để diệt trừ các trung tâm lừa đảo, theo ông Lương Thanh Hải, chính là Công ước Hà Nội:  "Công ước Hà Nội, tức là Công ước của Liên Hiệp Quốc về phòng chống tội phạm mạng, đã được ký từ tháng 10/2025. Bản thân Việt Nam và Cam Bốt, cùng một số nước khác trong Đông Nam Á, có tham gia. Theo thống kê của chúng tôi, tổng số nước ký kết đã lên đến 73 hoặc là 75 nước. Đây là một bước tiến lớn về cơ sở pháp lý để tăng cường hợp tác quốc tế trong phòng chống các tội phạm mạng, bao gồm cả lừa đảo trực tuyến như các trung tâm ở Cam Bốt. Tuy nhiên, phần lớn những người Việt được phát hiện tham gia, thậm chí trực tiếp đi sang và cầm đầu các nhóm đối tượng ở Cam Bốt trong các trung tâm lừa đảo trực tuyến không phải là những "big boss", không phải là trùm của những ông trùm. Phần lớn những ông trùm đó vẫn là "behind the scene", vẫn đang tiếp tục lẫn trốn. Như trường hợp của Trần Chí chẳng hạn, phải mất rất nhiều thời gian mới bị phá vỡ và bị bắt. Thành thử  những người Việt này thì chúng tôi đánh giá chủ yếu là đứng đằng sau điều hành các trung tâm lừa đảo Cam Bốt. Công an Việt Nam cũng đang tiếp tục khởi tố theo các nhóm tội lừa đảo, chiếm đoạt tài sản, hoặc tổ chức đưa người ra nước ngoài trái phép, tham gia trực tiếp vào các trung tâm lừa đảo đó. Các số liệu cũng như các bằng chứng cho thấy các đường dây này thường là dụ người Việt Nam bằng cái chiêu là "việc nhẹ lương cao", sau đó bán sang trung tâm lừa đảo. Các cơ quan công an Việt Nam trực tiếp cũng như phối hợp với lượng thực thi pháp luật các nước, trong đó Cam Bốt và Thái Lan, đã triệt phá các nhóm môi giới này trên các nền tảng xã hội, như Zalo hoặc Facebook và có nhiều trường hợp đã xử lý về tội mua bán người, hoặc tổ chức xuất cảnh trái phép. Chúng tôi cũng kỳ vọng Công ước Hà Nội, cũng như các cơ sở pháp lý khác trong khu vực ASEAN, đặc biệt là giữa các nước Việt Nam, Lào, Cam Bốt và thậm chí cả Thái Lan nữa, sẽ tăng cường hợp tác về thực thi pháp luật, trao đổi dữ liệu về tội phạm mạng, tiếp tục phối hợp giải cứu các nạn nhân và cũng có thể tiến hành dẫn độ, hoặc trao đổi các loại tài liệu liên quan đến điều tra, truy tố và xét xử trong quá trình triệt phá các băng nhóm từ nay cho đến cuối năm và trong thời gian tới."

pWotD Episode 3232: Men's T20 World Cup Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 408,441 views on Sunday, 8 March 2026 our article of the day is Men's T20 World Cup.The ICC Men's T20 World Cup, formerly the ICC World Twenty20, is a biennial world cup for cricket in Twenty20 International (T20I) format, organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It was held in every odd year from 2007 to 2009, and since 2010 has been held in every even year with the exception of 2018 and 2020. In 2018, the tournament was rebranded from the World Twenty20 to the Men's T20 World Cup.The 2011 edition of the tournament was brought forward to 2010 to replace the ICC Champions Trophy. In May 2016, the ICC put forward the idea of having a tournament in 2018, with South Africa being the possible host country, but later dropped the idea due to multiple bilateral series taking place that year. The 2020 edition of the tournament was scheduled to take place in Australia but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was postponed until 2021, with the intended host changed to India. The 2021 Men's T20 World Cup was later relocated to the United Arab Emirates and Oman due to problems relating to the COVID-19 pandemic in India, taking place five years after the previous (2016) iteration.As of 2026, ten editions have been played, a total of 24 teams have competed and six national teams have won the T20 World Cup so far. India hold the most victories, (2007, 2024, 2026) as they have won the competition three times. West Indies (2012, 2016) and England (2010, 2022) have won it twice, and Pakistan (2009), Sri Lanka (2014), and Australia (2021) have one title each. A total of 15 countries have hosted the tournament (including 6 island nations of the West Indies).This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:19 UTC on Monday, 9 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Men's T20 World Cup on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Emma.

As the war between the United States, Israel, and Iran escalates following the February 28 strikes, former U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper joined A'ndre for a quick chat to assess how the conflict is unfolding and what may come next. Esper discusses how President Donald Trump and his national security team may be evaluating the campaign, the strategic objectives behind the strikes on Iran's leadership and military infrastructure, and what success might realistically look like for Washington and its partners.The conversation also examines the sustainability of the U.S.–Israeli air campaign, the role of munitions production and drone warfare, and how the United States can manage escalation as Iran retaliates across the region. Esper weighs in on the strategic implications of leadership decapitation following the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the widening geographic scope of the conflict, including the U.S. strike on an Iranian vessel near Sri Lanka. He concludes with his assessment of how the conflict could end — and what advice he would give the president at this critical moment.

Around 80% of the world's dogs are free-roaming, living in streets, villages, and communities alongside people rather than inside homes. Yet much of what we believe about dog welfare, safety, and rescue comes from a Western model of dog ownership.In this episode, I'm joined by Vanessa of Spicy Dogs, a certified canine behaviour consultant based in Sri Lanka who helps adopters of village and street dogs understand behaviour through the lenses of ethology, trauma awareness, and co-regulation — building trust rather than control.Together we explore the complexity of street dog lives, the tensions that arise when Western rescue impulses meet different cultural realities, and the deeper question: what actually makes a good life for a dog?In this episode we discuss:• What daily life looks like for street and village dogs• Why the narrative of constant suffering can miss the richness of their lives• How language and labels shape the way we see “street dogs”• When rescue helps — and when it can unintentionally cause harm• What can change when dogs are removed from their cultural and ecological context• How different cultures understand dog welfare• What street dogs might teach us about living alongside dogs rather than controlling themThis is a thoughtful, sometimes uncomfortable conversation that invites us to loosen our grip on what we think dogs should be - and see them through a wider cultural and ecological lens.To connect with Vanessa:https://instagram.com/spicydogsbehaviourConnect with me!Website: https://mysticdogmama.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/mysticdogmamaCome join my free Facebook group, First Light.

Start with the center and everything else comes into focus. We open with Jesus' greatest commandments—love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself—and trace how those two clear lines cut through confusion at home, at church, and in public life. When love becomes the measure, rituals lose their shine, excuses run out, and courage becomes daily work.We reflect on Proverbs 31 as a portrait of ordered love, not a hustle mantra. The wisdom points every talent and task toward God, marriage, and family, challenging both men and women to weigh ambition by the good of those entrusted to them. From there, we follow Jesus' response to the Sadducees and find hope big enough for the happiest and hardest marriages: the resurrection does not erase love; it fulfills it. If your season is lonely or broken, heaven's promise reframes the pain without pretending it away.Our path winds through the teacher who declares love greater than sacrifice, then into Jesus' question about David calling the Messiah “Lord.” Alongside Psalm 48, we talk about memory, worship, and why a city stands strong when its people keep God's justice at the center. We don't shy away from present wounds—Sri Lanka's Easter bombings, systemic abuse—and we insist that naming evil is an act of neighbor love. A Medal of Honor story reminds us what leadership looks like under fire: standing up so others can stand.Drawing on Jonathan Mayhew, we tackle the tension between honoring civil authority and obeying God. Taxes can be argued; God's commands cannot. A Christian conscience submits where it should and refuses where it must, not out of defiance but fidelity. We close in prayer because prayer keeps our hearts low and our hope high, and that's the only way to love God wholly and love neighbors well.

Asian elephants are among the most endangered large mammals on Earth, with only 35,000–40,000 individuals remaining across their entire range. In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we speak with Nikki Sharp, Executive Director of Wildlife SOS USA, about the urgent challenges facing Asian elephants across South and Southeast Asia and the conservation efforts working to secure their future. Wildlife SOS is one of the leading organizations working on elephant rescue and rehabilitation in India, having helped rescue more than 50 elephants from circuses, captivity, and conflict situations. In this conversation, Nikki shares powerful stories from these rescues, including the remarkable recovery of elephants like Suzy, a blind circus elephant who found a second life in sanctuary, and Bani, a young elephant injured by a train who regained mobility through intensive veterinary care and rehabilitation. The episode also explores the broader conservation status of Asian elephants, a species that has lost nearly 97% of its historical population and whose remaining numbers are heavily concentrated in India and Sri Lanka. Nikki explains why Asian elephants often receive less global attention than African elephants despite their precarious conservation status and discusses how conservation awareness and advocacy can help change this imbalance. A major focus of the discussion is the recent DNA-based elephant census conducted in India, one of the most ambitious wildlife population studies ever undertaken. Researchers walked hundreds of thousands of kilometers across elephant habitats and collected thousands of dung samples to extract DNA and identify individual elephants. This genetic method allows scientists to estimate population sizes more accurately than traditional head-count surveys and represents a major advancement in wildlife monitoring and conservation science. Beyond population monitoring, the conversation also examines the biggest threats facing Asian elephants today, including habitat loss, fragmentation of migration routes, and escalating human-elephant conflict. As landscapes change due to agriculture, mining, and infrastructure development, elephants are increasingly forced into contact with people, leading to crop loss, property damage, and sometimes tragic outcomes for both humans and elephants.Nikki highlights how community-based conservation initiatives are helping reduce these conflicts. Programs such as early warning systems, community engagement, and conflict mitigation teams are helping villages coexist with elephants while protecting both livelihoods and wildlife. These approaches demonstrate how conservation solutions must integrate ecological science, local knowledge, and community participation.This episode provides a deep dive into the science, policy, and human stories behind elephant conservation—from cutting-edge genetic census techniques to on-the-ground rescue work and community conservation strategies. Whether you are interested in wildlife conservation, Asian elephants, biodiversity policy, or human-wildlife conflict, this conversation offers valuable insights into one of the most important conservation challenges of our time.Subscribe to the Think Wildlife Podcast for more conversations with leading conservationists, scientists, and wildlife practitioners working to protect biodiversity around the world.#AsianElephants #ElephantConservation #WildlifeSOS #HumanElephantConflict #WildlifeRescue #ElephantCensus #DNAWildlifeResearch #BiodiversityConservation #WildlifePodcast #ThinkWildlife Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

Episode #497: “This is my life. Life is so precious, and I need to take responsibility for what I'm doing,” says Oliver Tanner, a long-term meditation practitioner and Buddhist scholar whose PhD focuses on early Buddhist textual studies. In his second appearance on the podcast, Tanner reflects on how his path has shifted from an emphasis on meditation techniques and intensive retreats, to sustained, daily practice based on the early teachings of the Buddha as presented in the suttas, all framed by a single concern: how to understand and respond to suffering honestly and clearly. Looking back on his earlier years, Tanner recounts his deep immersion in intensive meditation retreats within the Goenka tradition. At that stage of his life, his primary motivation was experiential transformation. Meditation offered him discipline, ethical grounding, and a direct encounter with his own mind, and he describes this period as profoundly beneficial. It provided stability and direction, demonstrating through lived experience that sustained effort could lead to meaningful change. He treats this phase not as something to outgrow or reject, but as an essential foundation that made later inquiry possible. Tanner affirms his conviction that the early teachings aim for independence in the Dhamma, which ultimately requires the practitioner to be willing to step outside the boundaries of their tradition as needed. And indeed, he felt an increasing need to understand what he was doing and why. While the techniques he practiced were transformative, they did not fully answer deeper questions about purpose. This led him to systematic study, first in Myanmar, where Abhidhamma and commentarial traditions were central and the suttas secondary, and then in Sri Lanka, where the emphasis shifted decisively to the suttas themselves. Encountering these texts directly, he experienced them not as abstract doctrine but as practical, existential guidance addressing suffering, behavior, and everyday life. In sum, he says that the early teachings reward careful attention and lived application rather than belief or loyalty in a particular tradition. “There's a treasure trove waiting in these teachings and such practical guidance is there to incorporate these teachings, not just as some special thing you do on retreat, but in your daily life.”

This episode kicks off with a dramatic global headline as the U.S. submarine strike that sank Iran’s IRIS Dena warship near Sri Lanka sparks international outrage, with at least 80–100 sailors reported dead and dozens more rescued. The show breaks down how officials described it as the first torpedo sinking of an enemy vessel since World War II, heightening tensions across the region. From there, the team shifts into pop‑culture buzz as DJ Akademiks defends Stefon Diggs amid rumors that he cheated on Cardi B — a claim that’s been circulating across social media, following their public breakup and the Patriots’ decision to release Diggs after one season. The episode takes a powerful turn when defense attorney and author Jared Adams joins the show to discuss his book Redeeming Justice, sharing how he went from being wrongfully convicted at 17 to becoming an exoneree‑turned‑lawyer fighting for criminal justice reform. His story echoes the same narrative found in his published memoir, which highlights a decade spent learning the law in prison before ultimately helping others fight wrongful convictions. The conversation wraps on a lighter note as the crew dives into Applebee’s new collaboration with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, featuring two limited‑edition cocktails — “Young, Wild & Free Fruit Punch” and “Rollin' On the Beach” — crafted with the duo’s Still G.I.N. brand and served with collectible temporary tattoos.

C dans l'air du 5 mars 2026 - Iran : la guerre s'étend encore... jusqu'où ?Au sixième jour de guerre au Moyen-Orient, les attaques sont de plus en plus nombreuses et violentes. Israël a intensifié ses frappes contre le Hezbollah au Liban, où 700 000 Libanais sont désormais appelés à évacuer le sud du pays. L'armée israélienne progresse désormais au sol, tout en continuant, avec les États-Unis, les bombardements intensifs sur l'Iran, et bien au-delà. Un sous-marin américain a coulé mercredi une frégate iranienne au large du Sri Lanka, dans l'océan Indien. Selon le secrétaire à la Défense américain, Pete Hegseth, le bâtiment iranien est le premier coulé par une torpille américaine depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale.Téhéran, de son côté, réplique par des salves de drones et de missiles contre Israël, des cibles américaines dans les pays du Golfe, mais aussi ce jeudi dans la région autonome du Kurdistan en Irak. Hier, la Maison-Blanche avait confirmé des discussions entre Donald Trump et « des dirigeants kurdes » sur la base américaine du nord de l'Irak, tout en démentant les informations de plusieurs médias américains selon lesquelles les États-Unis comptaient armer des milices kurdes contre l'Iran pour susciter un soulèvement. Les gardiens de la révolution ont également assuré dans la journée qu'un missile iranien avait « touché » un pétrolier américain dans « le nord du golfe Persique ».Face à ces risques, l'option d'escortes militaires pour les navires commerciaux est envisagée. Emmanuel Macron a proposé de bâtir une coalition pour sécuriser « les voies maritimes essentielles ». Le président de la République a ordonné le déploiement du porte-avions Charles-de-Gaulle en Méditerranée, ainsi que l'acheminement de systèmes antimissiles et antidrones avec « une frégate équipée » à Chypre, pays membre de l'UE qui dispose de deux bases militaires britanniques. L'une d'elles a été ciblée dimanche par des drones quelques heures après que Keir Starmer, le Premier ministre travailliste, eut annoncé qu'il avait autorisé les États-Unis à utiliser les bases britanniques dans sa guerre. Londres a assuré lundi que ses bases à Chypre ne seraient pas utilisées par les Américains. La présidence française a fait savoir, ce jeudi, que Paris, Rome et Athènes allaient « coordonner » l'envoi de moyens militaires pour défendre l'île.Alors pourquoi Chypre se retrouve-t-elle impliquée dans le conflit ? Drones, missiles… combien de temps le régime des mollahs peut-il tenir ? La guerre lancée par les Etats-Unis et Israël contre l'Iran a vu son périmètre s'élargir considérablement, allant de l'Irak au large du Sri Lanka en passant par la Turquie et l'Azerbaïdjan, jusqu'où le conflit peut-il s'étendre ? Quelle est la stratégie américaine ? Nos journalistes ont interviewé John Bolton, ancien conseiller à la sécurité de Donald Trump.Experts : - Général Nicolas RICHOUX - Ancien commandant de la 7ème brigade blindée et ancien attaché de défense à Berlin- Dominique MOÏSI - Géopolitologue, conseiller spécial de l'Institut Montaigne, auteur du livre à paraitre fin mars : Le Triangle de la passion du monde : comprendre le chaos qui vient, aux éditions Robert Laffont- Patricia ALLEMONIERE - grand reporter, autrice de géopolitique du Sahel publié chez PUF- Nicolas BAROTTE - correspondant Défense au Figaro

On the sixth day of the US-Israeli war with Iran, the Strait of Hormuz is remains effectively closed to shipping, despite the US Navy crippling Iran's surface fleet - including by torpedoing a Frigate off Sri Lanka. On today's episode of Iran: the Latest, Roland Oliphant speaks to former Royal Navy commander Tom Sharpe about how Western militaries have prepared for years for a big war with Iran; why Iranian maritime forces are equally well prepared; and the cruel necessities of submarine warfare.And Nicholas Hopton, a former British ambassador to Iran, explains the three conditions necessary for a regime collapse - and why none of them have yet been met.

//The Wire//2300Z March 4, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: GULF WAR CONTINUES AS ALLIED RADAR INSTALLATIONS TARGETED BY IRANIAN FORCES. US NAVY SINKS IRANIAN FRIGATE OFF COAST OF SRI LANKA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Middle East: The large-scale bombing of targets within Iran continues, with hundreds of bombs being dropped day and night. Around the region, overnight satellite imagery confirmed that Iranian forces have successfully struck multiple American Air Defense installations. Concerning American battle damage, the following radar arrays have been damaged or destroyed since the conflict began.Qatar: A/N FPS-132 Block 5 array - Hit, unknown damage. Kuwait: 3x unknown radomes destroyed. Bahrain: 2x AN/GSC-52B radomes destroyed. UAE: THAAD battery at Al-Ruwais confirmed struck, damage unknown. Saudi Arabia: A/N TPY-2 radar site (used with the THAAD system) struck at Prince Sultan Airbase. Jordan: THAAD battery at Muwaffaq Salti Airbase possibly struck, unknown damage.Analyst Comment: These radar arrays are not tiny fire-control systems mounted on a HMMWV, these are major strategic assets for air defense throughout the hemisphere, not just the Middle East. The FPS-132 alone costs over a billion dollars and there are only six of these sites in the entire world. Similarly, there are only nine THAAD batteries in existence globally, and the Iranians just hit one (possibly two) of them with a munition that cost about $30k each.Strait of Hormuz: The war on the high seas continues as multiple commercial vessels have been struck by drones overnight. The UK Maritime Trade Operations center has reported a total of four commercial vessels being hit with unknown munitions over the past 24 hours, sustaining unknown damage. Two container ships, a BCC, and a tanker vessel were all hit or targeted by unknown munitions.Analyst Comment: Merchant traffic within the Strait is mostly at a standstill, as nobody wants to run the the gauntlet and risk hundreds of millions of dollars if something goes wrong. At this present time, drone and missile attacks are effective enough to prevent any large merchant vessel from transiting the waterway.Turkey: This morning the Turkish Defense Ministry stated that an Iranian ballistic missile was shot down in their nation. The missile was shot down by a US Navy vessel in the Eastern med, and the debris landed near the town of Dörtyol in the southeastern region of the country.Lebanon: The Israeli ground invasion continues, with the IDF ordering the evacuation of Lebanese citizens to north of the Litani River. Roughly 15% of the land mass of Lebanon has been ordered to evacuate by Israel, as the IDF continues pushing north.Indian Ocean: This morning the US Navy torpedoed an Iranian frigate off the coast of Sri Lanka. The IRIS DENA was sunk by an American submarine with the crew abandoning ship overnight. The Sri Lankan Navy has conducted rescue operations of about 30 survivors, with about half of the crew remaining missing.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Regarding the evacuations of Americans from the Middle East, so far the situation is complicated. The US State Department has provided emergency phone numbers for Americans stranded overseas to call, but reports are mixed regarding Americans actually being evacuated. Commercial flights remain sporadic, and most Americans stranded in the region are being told to sit tight until flights are available. Airspace closures remain throughout the entire region, and most airlines are attempting to fly out whenever they can. Dubai is the world's busiest airport, and so far it's been averaging a few dozen flights in and out each day, when previously the average was over a thousand flights per day. The smaller airport in Muscat, Oman is the next-closest hub from which evacuati

We tend to think of populist leaders around the world as disruptive—skeptical of international institutions, impatient for change, and prone to upending foreign policy norms.But a new book by scholars Sandra Destradi and Johannes Plagemann argues that—while populists can have dramatic impacts on foreign policy—the extent of change depends on two key factors: the personalization of foreign policy and leaders' ability to use foreign policy as a tool of domestic political mobilization.The book is called Populism and Foreign Policy, and it looks at transitions from non-populist to populist governments in Bolivia, the Philippines, Turkey, and India. To talk more about the book's findings—especially as they relate to Indian foreign policy—Sandra Destradi joins Milan on the show this week. Sandra holds the Chair of International Relations at the University of Freiburg, Germany, and she is currently serving as a DAAD long- term Guest Professor at Reichman University in Herzliya, Israel. She is the author of several articles and books on India, including the 2012 book, Indian Foreign and Security Policy in South Asia: Regional Power Strategies.Milan and Sandra discuss the definitional debates around populism, the conditional effects of populism on foreign policy, and the reasons for the Modi government's differential approach to Pakistan and China. Plus, the two discuss why populists might express an enhanced willingness to contribute to global public goods, the limited opportunities for mobilization against multilateral institutions, and the differences between populists in the Global North versus the Global South.Episode notes:1.     “Populism, South Asian Style (with Adnan Naseemullah and Pradeep Chhibber),” Grand Tamasha, December 18, 2024.2.     Johannes Plagemann and Sandra Destradi, “Populism and Foreign Policy: The Case of India,” Foreign Policy Analysis 15, no. 2 (April 2019): 283–301. 3.     Sandra Destradi, “Domestic Politics and Regional Hegemony: India's Approach to Sri Lanka,” E-International Relations, January 14, 2014.

EEUU ha anunciado que ha hundido un buque de guerra iraní en aguas cercanas a Sri Lanka, matando a al menos 87 personas. En un "briefing" el Pentágono no solo ha confirmado ese ataque sino que ha afirmado haber hundido una veintena de navíos iraníes desde el pasado sábado, cuando comenzó la operación militar contra Irán.Irán sigue siendo bombardeado pero al mismo tiempo sus fuerzas armadas no dejan de lanzar sus propios ataques contra objetivos militares estadounidenses e israelíes, con especial atención a bases e instalaciones miliares como radares en la zona del Golfo.Varios países de la zona han denunciado nuevos ataques a lo largo de este miércoles.Conoceremos también cómo están las cosas en Líbano, donde más de 80.000 personas han sido obligadas a desplazarse ante las operaciones israelíes en Beirut y el sur del país contra Hezbolá. En el programa abordaremos además la polémica en torno a las amenazas de Trump contra España y las explicaciones de Alemania por la falta de apoyo de Friderich Merz ayer en el Despacho Oval cuando Trump lanzó esas amenazas contra un socio europeo de Alemania.Hablaremos de la colaboración anunciada por Ecuador y EEUU contra el narcoterrorismo en el país sudamericano y de las elecciones de Nepal previstas para mañana juevesEscuchar audio

In today's episode, I'm coming to you fresh from surf camp in Sri Lanka with reflections on slowing down, mastering your focus, and what real power looks like in this new era. Relearning to surf reminded me to go slow to go fast and stay in my own lane. I share the difference between being out of alignment and simply out of your comfort zone, why the nuance of your design matters, and why this season is about not scratching the itch when distractions, drama, or old patterns try to pull you off course.This episode is extra special because it's episode 100 of the Secret Podcast. To celebrate 100 episodes on the inside, we're sharing this one on the main feed so you can get a taste of what it's like behind the scenes.
