Old School Soccer Stories 9:Kevin Phillips was rated too small to be a striker so played right back at Southampton. Then headed back to semi-pro football after being released as an 18 year-old. Nine years later he was European golden boot winner, aided in that achievement by his classic strike partnership with the towering veteran Niall Quinn.The Quinn-Phillips partnership fired Sunderland to consecutive 7th place finishes and lives long in the memory of football fans - especially lifelong Sunderland fans like Sky Sports presenter Tom White. Tom talks us through those heady days for his club and why Sunderland didn't quite kick on to be a Premier League contender.
Arsenal's trip to Anfield ended with a single moment of brilliance, Dominik Szoboszlai's free kick. Missing Saka and Ødegaard (for most parts), then losing Saliba early, the team held shape but lacked invention. Discipline was clear, the spine stayed strong, yet the final spark never came. Arteta's substitutions raised questions, but the fix is timing and sharper rotations, not panic.Off the pitch, Andrea "Don" Berta is already reshaping Arsenal's transfer story. Efficient deals, ruthless execution, no wasted drama. He's the reason fans feel something different in the air. This episode unpacks the Anfield loss and the bigger picture of where Arsenal stand.

In this episode, I explore the FORSA strike of school secretaries and caretakers, the glue of Irish schools. For over a century, their work has been underpaid, under-recognised, and taken for granted. Now, as they fight for pensions and parity, schools are left in vulnerable positions: keep schools open and potentially undermine the strike, or close them and face being the front page headline in the national media.From the long, neglected history of these roles, to the government's last-minute panic, to INTO's vague advice and the silence of management bodies, this strike exposes how fragile schools really are. And the truth is uncomfortable: by keeping things running, many may have already become SCABS. This is a public episode.

JP Morgan has responded to the U.S. Virgin Islands' (USVI) motion to strike several of its affirmative defenses in the ongoing lawsuit related to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operations. The bank argues that these defenses are crucial to demonstrate the alleged complicity of the USVI government in enabling Epstein's activities.JP Morgan contends that high-ranking USVI officials, including former First Lady Cecile de Jongh, played a role in facilitating Epstein's operations by managing his local companies and helping spread his influence throughout the government. The bank alleges that Epstein's ties with local political figures allowed him to receive favorable treatment, such as tax benefits and reduced oversight, despite his known criminal background/The USVI's motion to strike these defenses is viewed by JP Morgan as an attempt to avoid exposing the government's own culpability.

Edition No234 | 28-08-2025 - Kyiv has awoken under a pall of smoke again. Russia last night launched the second-largest mass strike of the war, according to multiple outlets, hitting homes and — pointedly, deliberately — sites tied to Europe and the UK. The British Council's building is smashed beyond use. The EU delegation compound is damaged. The EU building is classed as a diplomatic site, and thus an extensive of European sovereign territory and the British Council is an important extension of the British government abroad. Make not mistake, these are a direct challenge, attacks on the UK and EU, their property, power, influence and authority. More importantly, children are dead, and huge numbers of Ukrainians killed. At the same time Peskov and other criminals warble on about being interested about peace. At this point, who should we be angrier at, Moscow for behaving in exactly the way we expect them to, or at our leaders for not taking decisive action, and the media for reprinting the drivel that comes from Moscow, often without appropriate context. That being, Russia always lies. So many headlines blare out, Moscow's actions sabotage the peace process, but that is to fall for the con, and to indirectly support Moscow and the appeasement of its actions. The truth is, there is no peace process to sabotage. And there has not been a serious once since Putin invaded, at least anything that would deliver peace, security and justice for Ukraine. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: Sky News live — “UK summons Putin's ambassador after British Council bombed in Kyiv; second-biggest strike of the war.” (Aug. 28, 2025)The Guardian live — “UK and EU summon top Russian diplomats after British Council and EU offices hit.” (Aug. 28, 2025)Reuters — “Russian missiles pound Ukraine, damage EU and British offices.” (Aug. 28, 2025)Kyiv Independent — “‘Moscow's true answer to peace efforts' — mass attack kills 19, including children.” (Aug. 28, 2025)TIME — “Russia strikes EU & British Council buildings in Kyiv; death toll rises.” (Aug. 28, 2025)Washington Post — “Europe furious as deadly Russian attack damages prominent Kyiv offices.” (Aug. 28, 2025)PBS/AP — “Major Russian attack includes rare strikes on center of Kyiv.” (Aug. 28, 2025)NHPR/AP — “Four children among dead… EU & British Council buildings damaged; envoys summoned.” (Aug. 28, 2025)The Times (UK) — “Second biggest strikes; 19 dead; British Council office damaged.” (Aug. 28, 2025)----------

Parents from a Wellington High School have raised concerns after their children were marked as absent due to last week's teachers' strike. Secondary Principals Association President Louise Anaru spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
Today's Headlines: Right as Taylor Swift casually dropped her engagement pics Trump brushed off his critics by saying he might be a “dictator,” but at least he “stops crime,” and pitched the death penalty for DC murders. He also doubled down on firing Fed Governor Lisa Cook — accusing her of mortgage fraud (a line of attack he often saves for Black women in power) — and is already eyeing his buddy Stephen Miran as a replacement. Cook is suing, and the Fed says it'll let the courts decide.Meanwhile, Commerce Secretary Lutnick floated the idea of the U.S. buying stakes in defense giants like Lockheed Martin — basically admitting they're already arms of the government. Over in Congress, Oversight Chair James Comer launched a probe into DC crime stats after a whistleblower claimed they were cooked. On foreign policy, Trump met with South Korea's president and announced 600,000 new visas for Chinese students, despite backlash from his base. Abroad, Israeli troops shelled Gaza's Nasser Hospital, killing 20 people, including journalists and medics, saying they mistook a camera for Hamas surveillance. In Australia, PM Anthony Albanese blamed Iran for a string of arson attacks targeting Jewish sites, expelled Iranian diplomats, and cut ties completely. Lastly, OpenAI faces yet another lawsuit — this one from the parents of a 16-year-old in California who say ChatGPT helped their son explore suicide methods before he took his life.

Labor sociologist Barry Eidlin joins Suzi to discuss the recent Air Canada strike, which has now reached a tentative agreement. The strike began when 10,000 flight attendants, organized in the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), walked off the job on August 16, after months of failed negotiations. The Canadian government responded with its usual move: a back-to-work order under Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code — a provision that ostensibly regulates strikes, but is instead used to short-circuit them. But this time, something unusual happened: the workers defied the order, chanting “Forced to fly? We won't comply!” After an all-night bargaining session, they secured a tentative settlement on August 19th — showing what labor can do when it doesn't back down. We talk about the strike, the government response, its outcome, and what it portends. We'll also talk about the differences between Canadian and US unionizing and labor law, strike outcomes, and public policy. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

Hustle Culture relies on the toxic myth of rugged individualism. Four out of every ten Americans rely on “side-hustles” in the gig economy to make ends meet. For many these side hustles are the only source of income. For decades our political leaders have sold the myth of self-reliance rather than bolstering worker protections. The result is a population that lives in economic precarity and without the benefits and peace of mind associated with steady labor guarantees. There’s nothing inherently wrong with entrepreneurism but our political economy takes advantage of this mindset to strip away safety nets and blame those who cannot fend for themselves.
