On January 3rd of this year, in the middle of the night, U.S. special forces broke into the Home of Venezuela's President, Nicolás Maduro, and abducted him and his wife.U.S. military presence in Venezuela had been creeping up for months—with much of it being attributed to cartel suppression. But, when President Trump posted an image on Truth Social depicting Maduro in a Nike Sweatsuit and a blindfold aboard the USS Iwo Jima, many Americans were left wondering, "What happens next?" and, just as crucially, "Can the U.S. Government do that?"But while human rights advocates from around the world cautiously celebrate the downfall of the authoritarian dictator, life for many Venezuelans has not changed radically, and the regime Maduro was a part of remains in power through his Vice President, Delcy Rodríguez.Another part of that regime that may have outlived Maduro's rule is the Venezuelan Government's bribery of certain churches. Under Maduro, extra cash and remodeled church buildings were exchanged for pastoral support of the government.And for the churches that refused to bow the knee, there have been multiple cases of intense verbal harassment, leading many to consider Venezuelans as having a suboptimal form of religious freedom—despite a constitution which protects that liberty.For this week's podcast, I spoke with Knox Thames and Anna Lee Stangl. Knox worked in the U.S. State Department under both Obama, and Trump as a Special Advisor for Religious Minorities. He is also the author of Ending Persecution and International Religious Freedom Advocacy. Anna Lee is the Head of Advocacy and Team Leader of Latin America at Christian Solidarity Worldwide USA.Thames and Stangle talked through religious freedom before and after Maduro, the way Venezuelan politics has been shaped by the nations around it, Trump's confusing justification for keeping Maduro's Vice in power, and concerns for Latin American religious liberty at large.Tags:#venezuela #maduro #religiousfreedom #humanrights #liberty #freedom #church #christianity #latinamerica #latino #venezuelans

Nick Jeffery and John Granger met up last Sunday — St David's Day in Wales and the Sunday of the Triumph of Orthodoxy — to talk about John's first Hallmarked Man names post, ‘The Allegorical Cryptonyms of The Hallmarked Man, Part One: Ten Cratylic Character Names and their Embedded Meanings.' In addition to reviewing the high points of that post, Nick offered his insights about the first names John tried to decipher and John added context to the ‘Name Game' Rowling Readers globally have been playing for 29 years now, Saturn return.Seven high spots of their rollicking conversation:* Nick shared his belief that Rowling creates the character names she does as much for herself as a writer as for her readers. If the character matches the name, as he sees it, then she has a constant reminder of what that imaginary man or woman does, says, or won't do or say;* John pushed back on that, first because we've been told she changed character names while writing them, but more because of what a name is, namely, an image or icon through which the reader experiences the archetypal reference to which Rowling is referring. He thought this was complementary to Rowling's other Shed tools (alchemy, mythology, ring writing, Christian symbolism, etc.) and argued that, as with the other anagogical artistry, our work in consciously excavating the hidden meaning of names was in keeping with the Hogwarts Professor corrective mission (Eliot's "We had the experience but missed the meaning" challenge in The Dry Salvages);* Nick through light into John's American blind spots with respect to Rupert (Army jargon! and a comic strip bear), Jensen (a posh car in the 60's that had maintenance issues), and the Welsh undercurrents of Tyler, Griffiths, Ian (Ianto!), and Powell. And the River Fleet, a now invisible tributary channel flowing through the heart of London to the Thames!* John supplemented what he wrote in the post about the mythological backdrop to the Lindvall, Powell, and Griffiths names with what he thinks now are Christian symbolism, too, especially with respect to the love Tyler shows to Jolanda/Chloe;* John expanded, too, on Names being another Rowling method of “exteriorization,” a subject he covered at length in his ‘The Christmas Pig: A Quadrigal Reading' in that epic post's anagogical section, and the importance of that artistry in working the magic of transformation readers experience in her work;* Nick put John's mind at ease about ‘Ian Griffiths,' the name of Hallmarked Man's sex trafficking, short, psychopathic rape-murderer, being a cipher for ‘John Granger;' and * The two agree in conclusion, after an intense back and forth about the Peter-John Rule in Rowling Studies as applied to Strike 8, that the first ten names that John discussed in his post seem to confirm the Hogwarts Professor working-hypothesis that the last three books will be a trilogy involving many of the same characters to resolve unresolved questions and mysteries of the first seven book ring-set.John and Nick both referenced the work of Professor Beatrice Groves: check out her exegetical work on the name of The Silkworm's ‘Owen Quine' here, her post about Rowling's connections with the ‘Never Forget' Campbell clan, and her chapter on Cratylic Names in Literary Allusion in Harry Potter.Nick is working on another ‘Rowling Reading' segment about a Hallmarked Man epigraph source, Matthew Arnold's Merope: A Tragedy, John has more Strike 8 names in queue to decipher, most notably Danny DeLeon and Oliver Branfoot, John and Nick are both charting Part Nine of Hallmarked in which the meaning of names plays a critical role, and Nick is writing the itinerary for a bonus trip to Rowling's home town that will be a bonus in the Hogwarts Professor online class in preparation.

With Luke McMath, Katie Napier and Jordan TurnerBuying a home is one of life's most significant milestones. Yet in England, the process is widely seen as slow, opaque and prone to collapse at the final hurdle.In this episode of BE Sustainable, we examine the UK Government's proposed reforms to the homebuying and selling system in England. The changes aim to reduce delays, minimise fall-throughs and rebuild confidence in a process that has struggled to keep pace with modern expectations.At the centre of the debate is conveyancing – the legal transfer of property ownership. Often blamed for delays, conveyancing is also one of the least understood parts of the process.The discussion considers the role of upfront property information, including the proposed ‘property passport', and questions who will bear the additional costs. It also examines how increased regulation, compliance requirements and growing workloads have transformed conveyancing, highlighting the structural and practical challenges involved in modern property transactions.Bringing together academic insight, legal expertise and lived experience, the episode explores whether reform can genuinely improve the system, or whether deeper structural and technological changes are needed.Drawing on his academic research and recent analysis of the proposed reforms, Jordan Turner explores the structural realities behind modern property transactions. From a legal and frontline perspective, Luke McMath from Blandy & Blandy solicitors offers insight into the operational pressures faced by conveyancers. Providing a lived perspective, Katie Napier reflected on her experience as a first-time buyer completing on a property in late 2025.Links:Home buying and selling reforms - can the Government really fix a broken system? - University of the Built EnvironmentHome buying and selling reform - GOV.UKLuke McMath - Residential Property Conveyancing Solicitor/Lawyer - Reading, Henley-on-Thames & Wokingham

After Roman London was hit by a catastrophic fire in about 125 AD, perhaps the result of another local revolt, it entered a new period of sophistication which saw the emergence of elaborate townhouses for its mercantile and administrative elite, richly embellished with mosaics and wall paintings. But the city had stopped growing, and when a devastating plague arrived in about 165 AD, which may well have been Europe's first encounter with smallpox, it was probably already on a long slow decline caused by its diminishing importance as a trading hub. To continue Roman London's story to its eventual fate as an abandoned walled garden, Rosemary Hill is joined again by Dominic Perring, author of 'London in the Roman World', to consider what objects such as a Greek spell found on the Thames foreshore, and a small bronze archer found in Cheapside, can tell us about the fortunes of the city, and why the construction of the London Wall in the early 3rd century marked a terminal transformation of its role in the Roman Empire.

In Round One, the team discuss Barack Obama ‘breaking the internet' by suggesting aliens are real, Liz Truss finally managing to snag a photo with Donald Trump, and Keir Starmer being accused of running a “zombie government” after yet more U-turns — from delaying local elections to the Palestine Action proscription row, plus some properly murky Westminster briefing wars.In Round 2, we dive into the Winter Olympics' lost property box (including a suspiciously fast condom shortage, sold-out Gen Z stoat mascots and a fugitive with a love of ice hockey) before meeting the Manchester United fan refusing to cut his hair until the club wins five games in a row – a vow that's somehow become a national sporting curse.In Round 3, the Missing Words Round, we hear what RFK Jr's nutrition chatbot thinks you should be inserting where, what wildlife enthusiasts spotted bobbing in the Thames and what's happened every single day in the UK so far in 2026…If you enjoy the podcast, please give us a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and make sure you subscribe there so you don't miss an episode!For updates on the show, make sure you're following Have I Got News for You on Instagram, TikTok and X (formerly known as twitter) and get in touch with us there using #HIGNFYpod or emailing podcasts@hattrick.com. Your host is Mike RaymentWith Jack HarrisQueenie Miller Emerald Paston The Producer is Diggory WaiteThe Executive Producer is Claire BroughtonThe Music is by Big GeorgeIn the News This Week is a Hat Trick Podcast

Politicians from across the spectrum have been paying tribute to the life and legacy of Jesse Jackson, the US civil rights leader who has died aged 84.

The government's proposing a first-ever official Thames bathing spot at Ham and Kingston — which is either progress or the start of a new kind of group chat argument. Then: the UK moves to pull AI chatbots into the Online Safety net, with child-safety rules catching up to fast-moving tech. Also, Oxford researchers find public support for health-data sharing for AI is real — but only if the safeguards are, too. After the break, MIT shows off computing that uses waste heat instead of electricity, Google warns the EU about building “tech sovereignty” walls, and in gaming, 007 First Light drops a new story trailer. We finish with Sony's new WF-1000XM6 earbuds — priced like a Zone 1 lunch, but aimed straight at your commute. For more on all of it, head to standard.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Environmental Series. Episode #1 of 4. In 1851, a journalist named Henry Mayhew set out to document the lives of London's working poor. What he found was astonishing. In the richest city in the world, thousands of people made their living by picking through other people's trash. There were the bone-grubbers, who scavenged bones from gutters to sell to soap manufacturers. There were the mudlarks, mostly children, who waded through the filthy banks of the Thames searching for coal, rope, and bits of metal. And then there were the pure-finders. What's “pure” you ask? Well, "pure" was a Victorian euphemism for dog excrement. Pure-finders, mostly elderly women, spent their days scouring the streets of London for dog droppings, which they then sold by the pailful to tanneries in Bermondsey. The tanners used it to purify leather. Hence the name. We tend to think of recycling as a modern invention, something that started with the environmental movement of the 1970s. Blue bins, sorting instructions, that kind of thing. But as brilliant historians have uncovered, the story of how humans have dealt with their discarded materials stretches back millennia. For most of human history, the concept of "throwing something away" barely existed. To begin our series on environmental history, we're tackling the premodern history of recycling. Or as pre-WWII people would have called it: reclamation, salvage, scrapping, repair, and reuse. We'll meet rag-and-bone men and dustmen, shoddy masters and mudlarks. We'll discover how rags became paper, how old wool became new cloth, and how virtually nothing in the premodern world was ever truly waste.

In this episode of Being Bookish, I am heading to the tranquil banks of the Thames to visit with Judith, Becks and Suzie as they investigate two unfortunate deaths in Marlow while dealing with personal issues in The Mysterious Affair of Judith Potts by Robert Thorogood. As the creator of the hit TV show Death in Paradise, Thorogood knows exactly how to craft a brilliant mystery. This latest release, which hit shelves on January 15th, 2026, marks the fifth book in the popular Marlow Murder Club series. As always, I will be sharing my personal thoughts as well as looking at other reviews to provide a balanced perspective because we cannot all like everything. I will also be keeping it completely spoiler-free because you may want to visit Marlow for yourselves at some point, and you know I don't like to spoil books for anyone! If you enjoy a classic cosy mystery with a sharp-witted protagonist, a touch of eccentricity, and a puzzling case that keeps you guessing, this episode is definitely for you. It is the perfect recommendation for fans of cosy crime and amateur sleuths looking for their next favourite read. Can you solve the mystery before the trio of friends does? To round things off, my second, shorter review is for Esther is Now Following You by Tanya Sweeney. This is a far more unsettling and contemporary read that not only explores the dark side of social media obsession and parasocial relationships but also tackles deeper, moving themes of mental health issues and grief. It offers a sharp contrast to the charming, community-driven sleuthing in Marlow and is a must-read for fans of character-driven stories with real heart. So pop the kettle on, get comfy, and let's talk books.

Thames-Coromandel's local State of Emergency ends today, but the clean-up is far from over. Mayor Peter Revell spoke to Corin Dann.

The latter part of the Victorian era bore witness to a series of unexplained female dismemberment cases that plagued London for a period of thirty years. All the cases remain unsolved and only two women were ever identified. Today, the circumstances surrounding these deaths have largely become a footnote in history, dwarfed in attention by their much larger cousin, Jack the Ripper.In this, Suzanne Huntington's groundbreaking exploration of the subject, we see the first in-depth analysis into all the cases, where 150 years of assumption and misinformation is stripped back and the evidence re-examined, allowing the reader to comprehend not only the complexity of the cases themselves but also the background and context of the investigations.

The year London was founded will always be disputed, but the most recent archaeological evidence suggests the Romans had created the first settlement on the north bank of the Thames by 48 AD, five years after their invasion. That early military encampment expanded to become a busy, cosmopolitan supply base until it was burned down in the Boudican revolt of 60 AD. In the first episode of her series tracing the history of London, Rosemary Hill is joined by Dominic Perring, archaeologist and author of London in the Roman World, to examine the development of Londinium over its tumultuous first century, during which it grew to a population of 30,000 and it acquired all the recognisable Roman landmarks – forum, basilica, baths, amphitheatre – before facing its second great destructive event around 125 AD. In their next episode, Rosemary and Dominic consider Roman London's second revival and the emergence of new belief systems and monuments before its eventual abandonment by Rome at the start of the fifth century.

There is still a huge amount of clean up to do on roads around the upper North Island following last week's severe weather. Slips and flooding damaged major roads in Thames, Coromandel, Bay of Plenty and the East cape. In Gisborne entire hillsides collapsed, bringing forestry and native bush down onto roads. Convoys have made it through State Highway 35 at the top of the east coast, but it could be several weeks before State Highway two between Gisborne and Bay of Plenty reopens. NZTA's Mark Owen spoke to Lisa Owen.

Always and Forever, 22min., USA Directed by Johnny Thames An obsessive, controlling teenager kidnaps her boyfriend to play a bizarre, self destructive game. But things become complicated when the boy demands a stop. The film comments on how trauma if not confronted and resolved will lead to co-dependent and potentially destructive results, while providing enough empathy toward accountability. https://www.instagram.com/alwaysnforever_film Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? In all honesty, it was a couple of things: the main reason was the way we perceive trauma survivors and the way media depicts these types of stories. We either view them as calm and composed or emotional messes. Additionally, many stories often depict survivors as infantilized victims needing help or as inherent monsters. The point of the film was to show it's not black and white, it's usually somewhere in the middle of all of this. From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film? From development to post-production, about a year and a half on and off. How would you describe your film in two words!? Empathetic critique What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film? The biggest obstacle was the casting of Jennifer Baufour as Janice: When I first saw her tape, it stood out to me; I thought she understood the character, so I opted to cast her. The only issue was that the role wasn't fully realized. In response, I wrote the epilogue that plays over the credits, leaning into the nuance the film was going for. Writing the monologue was almost instantaneous, showcasing a woman who had gone through the effects of unresolved trauma and was now trying to make up for the consequences while being the parent she should've been years ago. ———— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

The war with The Netherlands in 1665 ended on a low, with the Thames blockaded. Poor London - trade was devastated by war, trade was devastated by plague. Hopefully 1666 would be better, as the royal court rumbled back into town. Money was short, but still a fleet was sent out into the Channel, as the good people of London started to rebuild their lives and their businesses. Nothing could be as bad as 1665. Hosted on Acast.
