Jon Lee Anderson is considered one of the great foreign correspondents of our time. Since the late 1980s, his on-the-ground reporting in Afghanistan has provided invaluable insight into decades of conflict and political upheaval. For The New Yorker magazine he covered the US-backed Mujahideen's insurrection in Kabul, was an eyewitness to the new war launched by the US against the Taliban and their Al-Qaeda allies within days of the 9/11 attacks, and reported on the supposed quick and easy victory of America while Osama bin Laden was still in hiding.  On February 10, Anderson joins us in person to reflect on his decades-long career, throughout which he has traced the missteps of the US-led war in Afghanistan, now widely regarded as one of the greatest foreign policy failures of the modern era.  Join us live at the Kiln Theatre and ask your questions in the audience  Q&A. ---If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

Join the H-Hour Patron Community at patreon.com/hkpodcasts ***** In this H-Hour Icebreaker, I welcome back Bags Simmons after roughly 18 months since his last appearance on the show. Answering questions submitted by H-Hour Patrons, Bags explains that the British didn't deploy tanks to Afghanistan, but used heavily protected armoured vehicles like Mastiff/Cougar variants, describing restricted visibility, the need to get out and speak with locals, and the major IED risk posed by predictable routes—especially canals—plus his fear of drowning if a vehicle rolled due to welded front doors and heavy rear exits. He argues the Afghanistan campaign's aims shifted from al-Qaeda to the Taliban, lacked coherent long-term strategy, and misunderstood Afghanistan's tribal “donut” dynamic and the Durand Line, concluding there wasn't a clear “win” and the withdrawal was rushed on a US timeline, leaving allies behind despite strong on-the-ground performance. He also discusses pledging allegiance to the Crown and his views on the Royal Family, praising the Queen's 70-year reign and saying Charles has transitioned well while criticizing controversies around Prince Harry and Prince Andrew, before previewing the full podcast.

On this episode, Amanda Head breaks down the arrest of Don Lemon after allegedly disrupting a church service in Minnesota, as critics like George Conway accuse the Trump administration of authoritarian overreach. Congressman Tim Burchett joins to condemn Lemon's actions, call out what he sees as media-driven outrage cycles, and discuss looming government shutdown tensions—blaming Democrats for broken promises and Republicans for failing to sharpen their message. Burchett also highlights his bill to block U.S. taxpayer dollars from reaching the Taliban, which has passed the House twice and now awaits Senate action.The conversation then turns to intensifying battles over immigration enforcement. Amanda addresses late-night host Stephen Colbert comparing ICE agents to Nazis and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries calling for the removal of ICE Director Tae Johnson. She also notes developments in Minnesota, where Tom Homan is working to strengthen coordination between ICE and local jails.Congressman Glenn Grothman joins the program to discuss the potential shutdown over DHS and ICE funding, arguing for stronger border enforcement and legal immigration reforms. He criticizes Democrats for obstructing funding efforts and warns of increasingly organized anti-ICE protests, urging Republicans to communicate more clearly and forcefully on border security.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Long considered a transit route, Pakistan is now emerging as a major hub for both drug production and consumption. This shift follows the upheaval triggered by the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan in 2021.

Seit August 2021 regieren in Afghanistan die radikal-islamistischen Taliban, schränken die Rechte von Frauen extrem ein und gehen gegen Regimekritiker vor. Die Bundesregierung erkennt sie als Regierung nicht an, aber schiebt unter anderem verurteilte Straftäter aus Deutschland nach Afghanistan ab. Dahinter steckt ein offenbar brisanter Deal zwischen Vertretern des Bundesinnenministeriums und ranghohen Taliban, das erzählt in dieser 11KM-Folge Peter Hornung, der als ARD-Korrespondent seit Jahren über Afghanistan berichtet und oft vor Ort recherchiert hat. Peter hat zusammen mit BR-Journalistin Christine Auerbach recherchiert – die gesamte Recherche hört ihr auch in der neuesten Staffel des BR-Podcasts “Die Entscheidung”, unserem Podcast-Tipp: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/die-entscheidung-politik-die-uns-bis-heute-praegt/urn:ard:show:e7bcaf8eea1771e3/ In dieser früheren 11KM-Folge geht es um die schwierige Situation der Frauen in Afghanistan „Überwacht und eingesperrt: Was vom Leben in Afghanistan bleibt”: https://1.ard.de/11KM_Afghanistan Diese und viele weitere Folgen von 11KM findet ihr überall da, wo es Podcasts gibt, auch hier in der ARD Audiothek: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/11km-der-tagesschau-podcast/12200383/ An dieser Folge waren beteiligt: Folgenautor: Marc Hoffmann Mitarbeit: Claudia Schaffer, Nicole Dienemann Host: David Krause Produktion: Ruth-Maria Ostermann, Christiane Gerheuser-Kamp, Christine Dreyer und Simon Laumayer Planung: Nicole Dienemann und Hardy Funk Distribution: Kerstin Ammermann Redaktionsleitung: Yasemin Yüksel und Fumiko Lipp 11KM: der tagesschau-Podcast wird produziert von BR24 und NDR Info.

Steve Bleigh is the son and grandson of Army veterans. He joined the U.S. Army in 1986, fully expecting to be an infantryman throughout his service. When he returned to civilian life eighteen years later, Bleigh had spent 14 years in Army Special Forces and was a veteran of Afghanistan, Iraq, the Gulf War, and the conflict in Somalia.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, MSG Bleigh tells us about his service in the Gulf War with the 82nd Airborne Division and the lessons he learned there that helped the rest of his years in uniform. Then he talks about selection and qualifying for Special Forces, being deployed as a weapons sergeant in Somalia, how he responded when the mission in Somalia turned deadly, and training to be a medic after returning home.Following the 9/11 Al Qaeda terrorist attacks, Bleigh and ODA 595 were among the first U.S. units to set foot in Afghanistan. Now often referred to as the Horse Soldiers, the unit teamed up with elements of the Northerrn Alliance to force the Taliban from power. Bleigh reflects on the toughest fighting in Afghanistan and being one of very few medics on the ground there.Finally, he details his two tours in Iraq, including the initial invasion and the early, successful hunt for key enemy figures. He then describes a very different second tour, one marked by relentless enemy IED's and maddening rules of engagement.

Show Notes:Emilie is a an AMGA/IFMGA Mountain Guide but she likes lots of things that have nothing to do with mountains: cats, true crime podcasts, and books about early Arctic exploration to name a few. When she is guiding, she's a generalist and finds equal enjoyment on sunny rock climbs, steep ice, and snowy slopes. If she's not home in Salt Lake City, UT, she likes traveling the world….the more unusual the place, the better!Emilie's Links:http://www.emiliedrinkwater.comEpisode Intro:Dear listeners of the Female Guides Requested Podcast, welcome back. This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Today I am joined by a veteran of the guiding world, Emilie Drinkwater. With over 25 years of experience, Emilie's career has taken her from the rugged ice of the Adirondacks to pioneering leadership programs for women in Afghanistan. As an IFMGA-certified guide and a member of the AMGA instructor team, she brings a wealth of knowledge on what it means to make guiding a lifelong profession.In this episode, we dive into her transition from the Northeast to the West, the cultural complexities of guiding abroad, and a recent, harrowing health scare that changed her perspective on the risks we take in the mountains. Let's get into the conversation with Emilie Drinkwater.Quotes:On her start in guiding: “I literally begged my way into a job guiding people… Guiding's kind of my only marketable skill at this point. So luckily I like it and I have no plans of stopping anytime soon.”On being a female guide: “I love the title of your podcast because my whole career is like I have these opportunities because a female guide has been requested. And I'm often in a place where I'm… a bit of a rarity.”On the reality of the profession: “Guiding it's a good career for extroverted people, which I'm not. And so, yeah, any job, it's most of the time it's great, but there's definitely times where I'm tired or stressed or have a little feeling of burnout.”On the value of instruction: “I always learn from students… every single program I learned something new and I'm like, ‘Wow, I can't believe I've never seen or heard that before.'”On guiding in Afghanistan: “When we think of terrorists and Taliban… the majority of people in Afghanistan are just generous and kind and they're poor. They don't have money, it's a tough place to live.”On the guide's mindset during a health crisis: “As guides we are really used to being uncomfortable all the time… our tolerance level may be dangerously high. And that is something I've learned is I need to say something sooner if I'm not feeling good.”On finding the right partner: “A perfect partner is somebody who compliments you… somebody that you're on the same page with—they'll support you, but also you have a similar enough skill set.”On the definition of success: “Success begins with a willingness to try… because I think if you tried something you probably learned a lot from it… the success comes in trying and learning from each bit of it.”

Die Taliban haben erfolgreich ein neues Afghanistan geschaffen, soviel ist klar. Aber wohin führt der Weg? Peter Hornung meint: in Richtung eines totalitären Gottesstaates. Von Peter Hornung.

Afghanistan ist im fünften Jahr der Herrschaft der Taliban deutlich auf dem Weg zu einem totalitären Gottesstaat. Vor allem in den Städten herrscht Angst – vor den Patrouillen der Sittenpolizei und dem allgegenwärtigen Geheimdienst. Doch die Taliban sind keine homogene Gruppe, es gibt deutliche Brüche zwischen den Pragmatikern in der Hauptstadt Kabul und den Radikalen im südafghanischen Kandahar.

À l'occasion de la Journée mondiale de la radio, ONU Info donne la parole à Hamida Aman, fondatrice de Radio Begum, une station afghane « faite par des femmes pour des femmes », née en mars 2021, quelques mois avant le retour des Talibans au pouvoir.Pensée au départ comme une radio généraliste célébrant « les accomplissements des femmes ces 20 dernières années », Radio Begum a dû transformer sa mission face aux restrictions imposées aux médias et aux femmes.Privée de musique et de divertissement, elle s'est tournée vers un rôle vital : l'éducation, avec six heures de cours radiophoniques par jour, ainsi que des programmes de santé, de soutien psychologique et d'accompagnement social. La radio propose aussi des émissions qui informent les Afghanes de leurs droits à travers le prisme de l'islam, leur permettant de faire valoir leurs droits et parfois même de les défendre au sein de leur propre famille.« En ce moment en Afghanistan, (…) on n'entend que des voix d'hommes (…) Donc entendre une voix de femme dans tout cet univers masculin, c'est juste une sorte de petite lumière ou une lueur dans tout un océan de noir. Et c'est ça, Begum », explique Hamida Aman. Dans un pays où les femmes sont écartées de l'espace public, Radio Begum leur offre un espace à elles : « un espace de libre-échange », « un espace dédié uniquement aux femmes ».(Interview : Hamida Aman, fondatrice de Radio Begum; propos recueillis par Cristina Silveiro)

Retired agent Phil Andrew shares how his experience surviving one of the nation's first school shootings when he was a twenty-year-old college student impacted his FBI career as a hostage negotiator. Phil reviews a kidnapping case where he negotiated with a member of the terrorist organization behind the Mumbai attacks and a case where he attempted to broker the release of New York Times reporter David Rohde, who was being held captive for ransom by the Taliban in Afghanistan. These case reviews are examples of how Phil turned tragedy into purpose, dedicating his life to keeping communities safe. Phil served in the FBI for 21 years. He is currently a 2026 candidate for the United States Congress in Illinois's 9th Congressional District.

I 2026 har vi våknet til en verden der makt trumfer rett: Hva skjer med internasjonalt diplomati og dialog nå? I Venezuela fjernet USA diktatoren Nicolas Maduro med makt. I Iran slås demonstrantene brutalt ned, mens president Trump truer med å gripe inn med våpen mot regimet. Ser vi slutten på en regelstyrt verdensorden basert på internasjonal lov? Er diplomati og dialog fortsatt mulig når makta rår? Hva skal til for at folk på bakken i Venezuela, Iran og andre land rammet av konflikt skal få det bedre? Og hva kan verdenssamfunnet lære av involveringen i Afghanistan? Du møter: • Arne Strand, Seniorforsker ved Chr. Mikkelsens Institutt • Johan Vibe, direktør ved NOREF • Ayesha Wolasmal, diplomat, journalist og forfatter av boken "Tusen dager med Taliban" • Kristian Berg Harpviken, direktør for det Norske Nobelinstitutt Samtalen blir moderert av Kjersti Fløgstad, direktør ved Nobels Fredssenter. En del av Nobel Peace Talks: Nobel Peace Talks er en arrangementsserie med temaer knyttet til siste års fredspris. I 2026 snakker vi om utviklingen i Venezuela, de globale konsekvensene og demokratiets stilling i verden.

In this episode of Style DNA I have a fascinating conversation with the International News Anchor and Lead World News Presenter for Sky News Yalda Hakim. Yalda is an Afghan-born Australian broadcast journalist, Lead World News presenter for Sky News, and documentary maker. She was one of the chief presenters at BBC News broadcasting in English in the UK and globally. Known for her on-the-ground reporting and in-depth interviews, she has covered major global events from conflict zones including Gaza, Ukraine, Afghanistan and Darfur, as well as key political moments shaping world affairs. Her work is marked by access to high-level decision makers, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and a focus on bringing clarity and context to complex international stories. Born in Kabul and raised in Australia after leaving Afghanistan as a child refugee, Hakim has built a two-decade career in international journalism and documentary filmmaking. She is recognised for holding leaders to account while telling human stories behind global politics. Beyond broadcasting, she founded the Yalda Hakim Foundation, which supports education and mentorship opportunities for Afghan girls. Yalda offers so many insights about her style journey. She is very aware of the gravity of her ability to communicate the story accurately.  I ask her about her thought process as to what she wears for specific interviews. She says she gravitates towards black as her power colour whereas many other journalists wear colour in the belief that they will stand out in the crowd.  She tells me about learning to manage her emotions and getting in the zone before a massive broadcast which she generally does in her “safe space” the hair and makeup chair…once ready her ritual is to look in the mirror and tells herself “You have got this”… and watching her as much as I do on Sky News she absolutely does! I ask her who was the most intimidating person she has ever interviewed… the Dalai Lama who she says has so such a powerful presence…. What did she wear? A mustard velvet Dolce and Gabbana jacket which symbiotically toned with his His Holiness's saffron robes. She says it was an instinctive decision…lovely. Her insights into the world of women in Afghanistan and the Taliban are fascinating… and truly sad particularly when told by an Afghan woman whose life is so different to what it could have been had her parents not taken the brave and bold decision to flee their homeland when they did.  Yalda recalls that when Kabul fell, a heartbreaking moment, she reached out to a handful of powerful women to help get 1000 young women and girls evacuated.  She singles out Tory Burch, who has a woman's foundation, as someone who dug deep and engaged with the mission from start to end.  Tory gifted Yalda a beautiful white jacket which is particularly precious as it reminds her of both the pain of the moment but also the power of the sisterhood to make a difference. We talk about her approach to sustainable fashion and she tells me that she did a piece on the Rana Plaza disaster and the precarious other sweat shops that she visited in the area. She has seen the impact of fast fashion up close …as she says “we need to think about why something might be only £6.00… why is it so cheap?”… clearly because the makers are not being paid a living wage. Unsurprisingly Yalda is fabulously eloquent and wonderfully open…Her words paint such powerful pictures of her extraordinary life … Thank you for allowing me to turn the tables and make you the interviewee Yalda…this conversation was a real privilege xx

PREVIEW: Bill Roggio provides a grim assessment of Al-Qaeda's status looking ahead to 2026, contradicting official narratives that the group has been "decimated" or "defeated." He explains that Al-Qaeda has grown significantly since 9/11, now effectively controlling two countries: Afghanistan in conjunction with the Taliban and parts of Syria. Roggio describes these areas as safe havens with training camps and weapons depots, noting that Somalia is also largely under Al-Qaeda control via Al-Shabaab.1836 BEIRUT

In this episode, Kelsi Sheren discusses the uncomfortable truths surrounding Canada's financial support to the Taliban, highlighting the irony of humanitarian aid being funneled to a known terrorist organization while Canadians struggle with basic needs. She shares her personal experiences and frustrations as a veteran, questioning the moral implications of taxpayer dollars being used to fund those who oppose the values Canada claims to uphold. Kelsi calls for listeners to educate themselves on the realities of the situation and to hold the government accountable for its actions.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Uncomfortable Truths02:49 Funding Terrorism: A Canadian Perspective05:58 The Irony of Humanitarian Aid08:53 The Moral Dilemma of Taxpayer Dollars12:10 Call to Action: Understanding the Reality13:07 Conclusion and Next Steps - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram -  https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack:  https://substack.com/@kelsisherenTikTok -   https://x.com/KelsiBurnsSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - http://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY  - http://brassandunity.com

What if the rarest bond in your life is the one you treat like an afterthought? We open with Genesis and a clear call to guard marriage as a one‑flesh covenant, not an accessory that gets leftovers after screens and noise. It's a simple test with huge stakes: where your time goes, your heart follows. That theme threads into a vivid reading of Matthew 26, where betrayal comes with a kiss, the sword flashes, and Christ chooses obedience over force. The scene reframes strength and reminds us that fidelity is quieter than bravado and stronger than impulse.From there we turn to Psalm 32, a song that traces the ache of concealed guilt and the breakthrough of confession. Joy returns when we stop hiding and accept real forgiveness through Christ. We talk about honest repentance as a daily habit that restores trust in marriages, families, and communities. The conversation widens to public life with a sober look at violence and ideology, not to score points but to insist that ideas have human costs. We remember a Medal of Honor sailor, Patrick Francis Bresnahan, as a model of duty and ordinary courage that often goes unseen yet sets a standard worth following.Noah Webster's charge that nothing can be honorable if it is morally wrong gives us a North Star in a culture that confuses popularity with virtue. We apply that lens to personal choices, civic responsibility, and how we treat those closest to us. Along the way, we share practical ways to reorder attention, protect the covenant of marriage, and live with integrity at home and in public.

Send us a textPeaches runs a solo Daily Drop Ops Brief covering multiple days of military news after a short recording gap. The episode opens with a posthumous Medal of Honor awarded to Staff Sgt. Michael Alice for shielding a Polish soldier during a 2013 Taliban attack—followed by a blunt reminder of why people actually serve. From a 10th Mountain Division deployment to CENTCOM, Golden Knights season prep, and the rising age of Army recruits, the brief moves into jungle medicine training in Hawaii, artillery and demolitions live fire at Schofield Barracks, and Arctic testing of small unmanned aerial systems where batteries and cold collide. Peaches also breaks down Navy deployments, changes to naval aviation training pipelines, Russian women detained at Camp Pendleton and why honeypots are real, a $700 3D-printed Marine Corps drone, AH-1Z missile upgrades, Air Force no-notice ORIs returning, micro-nuclear reactors at Eielson, cheaper cruise missile tests, housing overhauls in the UK, and why USAFA Superintendent Gen. Tony Bauerfeind's departure matters. The episode closes with Space Force warfighting expansion, drone-pilot mental health studies, and renewed Iran nuclear talks.

Sergeant Matthew Brunnemann spent a year fighting in Helmand Province. After that first deployment, he had a deep and unsettling desire to get back in the battle. He hadn't installed enough tracking devices, 400 helicopter-borne raids were not enough, he hadn't captured enough Taliban… there was still a fight to be had. So he returned to the Graveyard of Empires, spending a total of five hundred days in Afghanistan between 2010 and 2012.

Hornung, Peter www.deutschlandfunk.de, Hintergrund

It's Tuesday, February 3rd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson 1,400 Nigerian kidnap victims held in forests Truth Nigeria reports that “more than 1,400 kidnap victims are held in horrific conditions in the forests of Nigeria's Kaduna State in North-central Nigeria.” Locations are well known, yet the Nigerian government refuses to get involved. So far, there are no records of Nigerian military entering the massive network of these torture camps. Horrifically, stories abound of Christians being tortured by Muslim terrorists with whips for hours until they are dead. The extremists have also severed the heads and other body parts of Christians. Please pray for the physical safety of our Nigerian brothers and sisters in Christ. Epstein file release leads to resignation of British homosexual politician Over the weekend, disgraced British politician Peter Mandelson resigned his position in the Labour Party after more revelations came out of his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and alleged violations of the Seventh Commandment with girls, reports the BBC. Mandelson was also a well-known homosexual, who faux married a man, violating God's laws relating to improper relations with men. He served as British Ambassador to the United States last year, a member of the House of Lords, Secretary of State, and Lord President of the Council under Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Job 4:8 reminds us that “those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same.” Hillary Clinton aims at Doug Wilson, Allie Stuckey, & Mike Johnson Former First Lady and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton went after Reformed Pastor Douglas Wilson in a January 29th op-ed column in The Atlantic. She accused the pastor of opposing suffrage for women, advocating theocracy, and associating with War Secretary Pete Hegseth. She lumped Allie Beth Stuckey, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and Doug Wilson's Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches into the same basket of what she called “Christian nationalists.” She lamented the sharp decline in participation and membership in mainstream liberal churches. She called for “empathy” in government, referring to Jesus's comments to turn the other cheek, but had nothing to say about Romans 13. She said she opposes tyranny and embraces homosexual and transgender rights. And she decried Trump's immorality, but had nothing to say about Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein in the opinion piece. Trump announces trade deal with India On Monday, President Donald Trump announced a trade deal with India, reports The Epoch Times. The United States would reduce import tariffs from 50% to 18% — a 25% relief if India agrees to stop imports of Russian oil.  The Afghanistan Taliban government reintroduced slavery On January 27th, U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Jim Risch announced that the Afghanistan Taliban government has re-incorporated slavery in the country. The new Afghan criminal procedure code issued in January also provides the Taliban government with “broad and dangerous authority to kill opponents, critics, and human rights activists under this designation, without guaranteeing the right to defense and fair trial,” according to Rawadari.org. Quite the opposite of the Islamic vision for the world, Jesus has come “To proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” (Luke 4:18,19) “Jelly Roll” glorified Jesus Christ at the Grammys This year's Grammy Awards ceremony, which recognizes achievement in the music industry, came and went again, with its typical outrageous, scandalous presentations, leftist political bias, and demoralizing and anti-social content. But one country music personality by the name of Jason DeFord, known as Jelly Roll, stood out from the crowd for a minute or two, when he addressed the audience. Listen. DEFORD: “I know they're gonna try to kick me off here, so just let me try to get this out. There was a time in my life, y'all that I was, I was broken. That's why I wrote this album. I didn't think I had a chance, y'all. There was days that I thought the darkest things. I was a horrible human. “There was a moment in my life that all I had was a Bible this big, and a radio the same size, and a six by eight-foot cell. And I believe that those two things could change my life. I believe that music had the power to change my life, and God had the power to change my life. “And I want to tell y'all right now: Jesus is for everybody. Jesus is not owned by one political party. Jesus is not owned by no music label. Jesus is Jesus, and anybody can have a relationship with Him. I love you, Lord.” Every now and then, the truth slips out. Jelly Roll won a Grammy for the Best Contemporary Country Album entitled “Beautifully Broken,” reports Forbes. 13-year-old boy swam 4 hours off Australian coast to save family And finally, a 13-year-old boy saved his mother and two siblings who had drifted off the coast of Australia last Friday by swimming four kilometers, reports the BBC. The 13-year-old swam the first two hours with his life jacket on. That was slowing him down, so he ditched it, and swam the last two hours without it. The family had been paddle-boarding and kayaking off the coast of Western Australia, when strong winds pushed them out to sea. The boy made it to shore by 6:00 pm. Two and a half hours later, a rescue helicopter spotted the mom with her 12-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter at 8:30 pm. The Marine Rescue Group commended the young man for his “bravery, strength and courage.” Paul Bresland, commander of the group, called the feat “superhuman.”  And an inspector, James Bradley, said,  "The actions of the 13-year-old boy cannot be praised highly enough. His determination and courage ultimately saved the lives of his mother and siblings." 2 Chronicles 15:7 says, “But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, February 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

In 2007, four British servicemen perched on the wings of an Apache helicopter in Afghanistan, in an audacious mission to rescue a fallen comrade. Lance Corporal Mathew Ford was part of a unit which had attacked Jugroom Fort - a major Taliban command and control centre in Helmand Province, but he was left behind after a frantic withdrawal.Volunteers put themselves forward for a risky rescue attempt, which would become legendary in military circles. Captain Chris Fraser-Perry was a 19-year-old British Royal Marine who took part in the mission. He speaks to Kevin Core. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

Bộ Ngoại giao và Thương mại (DFAT) đã xác nhận kế hoạch đóng cửa Đại sứ quán Afghanistan tại Úc, khiến nhiều thành viên trong cộng đồng người Afghanistan tại đây cảm thấy bất an. Các chuyên gia cho biết quyết định này được đưa ra sau yêu cầu từ phía Taliban rằng tất cả các đại sứ quán nằm dưới sự kiểm soát của các đại sứ phản đối Taliban đều phải đóng cửa. Trong khi một số người Afghanistan tại Úc cho rằng việc đóng cửa sẽ ít gây ảnh hưởng, thì đối với những người khác, đây là một diễn biến đáng lo ngại sâu sắc.

In this episode, we examine proposals that would restrict or revoke U.S. citizenship, including the constitutional limits on forced renunciation, dual citizenship, and the government's authority to define who belongs. We discuss population policy, free movement in Europe, and Supreme Court precedents that constrain state power over individual status. We also break down a sharp drop in the dollar, revisit the failures of mercantilism, and touch on the cultural politics surrounding Bill Belichick and the Hall of Fame. We then turn to firearms, protest, and political hypocrisy, looking closely at gun violence data, international bans, and the selective application of constitutional principles. We close by exploring free speech, due process, religious freedom, and what happens when rights give way to raw power, from domestic politics to authoritarian regimes abroad. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:32 The Exclusive Citizenship Act Explained 01:16 Forced Renunciation and Dual Citizenship Risks 02:30 Could the Government Strip Citizenship? 03:47 Population Reduction and the “100 Million Americans” Idea 05:20 European Passports, Borders, and Free Movement 06:57 Supreme Court Limits on Revoking Citizenship 08:32 Compelled Speech and Constitutional Conflicts 09:46 The Dollar's Worst Day and Weak Currency Politics 11:17 Mercantilism and Why Economists Rejected It 12:51 Bill Belichick and the Politics of the Hall of Fame 15:34 Minnesota Shooting and the Second Amendment Flip 16:46 When and Why People Carry Guns 18:32 What the Data Really Says About Gun Violence 21:01 International Gun Bans and Substitution Effects 22:11 Protests, Firearms, and Political Hypocrisy 24:12 Republicans, Democrats, and Reversed Principles 27:39 Principles vs Preferences in Constitutional Rights 30:11 Do People Actually Believe in Free Speech? 31:35 Rights as a Defense Against Totalitarianism 32:14 Religion, the First Amendment, and Equal Treatment 33:58 The Taliban, Education, and Religious Absolutism 37:09 Why the Second Amendment Became Politically Unique 39:03 Political Violence and State Power 41:16 Due Process, Federal Force, and Law Enforcement Norms Learn more about your ad choices.

In every life, there are defining moments when a person must decide whether to stand up for what is right or remain silent. At a young age, Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai began boldly advocating for girls' access to education, which had been denied by the Taliban, an extremist Islamic group. The consequences were grave. In October 2012, the Taliban shot Malala point-blank in the head because of her outspoken beliefs. Miraculously, Malala survived and would go on to become the co-founder of the Malala Fund, which seeks to advocate and provide education to millions of young girls globally who are denied an education because of poverty, violence or tradition. Two years after the attack, Malala became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Malala describes to Oprah the last moment she remembers before being shot. The young activist says her recovery taught her that "there is nothing greater than the love and the prayer of people." Later in the podcast, Malala's father, Ziauddin, joins the discussion and explains why he felt closest to God on the day Malala was attacked. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
