PREVIEW Ahmad Sharawi explores current Russian interests in Syria, noting that Russia previously assisted Assad in brutalizing the Syrian people. Recent discussions included defense agreements, military ties, and the status of two Russian bases in Western Syria. While Syria tries to balance world powers, the guest expresses concern because the Syrian people are domestically unhappy with a close relationship with Russia due to past atrocities. Guest: Ahmad Sharawi. ALEPPO

In today's Daily Fix:Nintendo has revealed the first official looks at Zelda and Link in the upcoming live-action The Legend of Zelda movie. Bo Bragason's Zelda outfit appears to be inspired by the character's Breath of the Wild design, while Bengamin Evan Ainsworth's Link is wearing a green tunic, more in line with Link's traditional look in the early Zelda games. In other news, U.S. congressman Ro Khanna is taking aim at Call of Duty for its supposed use of A.I. in Black Ops 7. Khanna's concern seems pointed at the loss of jobs as A.I. takes over some of the low-level tasks humans would normally do. And finally, a fan-made project to keep Concord multiplayer alive has drawn the ire of Sony, who is taking down video content showing off Concord Delta. Although Sony cancelled the game and shuttered its developer after Concord's disasterous launch, a group of fans are reverse-engineering some of the server code to keep the game playable to those who bought it.

In this episode, Hallie Bulkin welcomes special guest Dr. Anita Gouri, a board-certified pediatric dentist, to dive deep into the critical, often-missed connection between pediatric dentistry and a child's overall airway health and development.Dr. Gouri shares her personal journey into airway and tissue-focused dentistry, motivated by her own daughter's and nephew's feeding and developmental challenges due to undiagnosed tongue ties. They emphasize the absolute necessity of a multidisciplinary approach, stressing that therapy (SLP, OT, IBCLC, etc.) is optimal before and after a tongue tie release for the best outcomes and to avoid reattachment or unresolved symptoms. The conversation extends to older children, discussing the importance of an airway evaluation before prescribing ADHD medications and the dramatic life-changing results of early palatal expansion to open the airway.In this episode, you'll learn:✔️ Dr. Gouri's personal experience discovering her daughter's tongue tie at age 7, long after dealing with feeding issues, colic, and difficulty eating non-pureed foods. ✔️ Why pre- and post-operative therapy (like with an SLP, OT, or IBCLC) is 100% crucial for optimal outcomes following a tongue tie release. ✔️ The importance of getting an airway evaluation before putting children on ADHD medication. ✔️ Key signs of pediatric airway issues during sleep, including mouth breathing , tossing/turning/restless sleep , and the often-missed red flag of hyperextension of the neck. ✔️ The dramatic benefits of early palatal expansion (as early as 3 or 4 years old) to open the airway, often resolving issues like chronic infections (like croup) and snoring , even if the child does not have a crossbite. ✔️ How simple strategies like sleep hygiene (removing dust mite harbingers like stuffed animals and blankets) and dietary changes (like kicking gluten) can reduce inflammation and improve breathing. ✔️ Why a "quick snip" of a tongue tie may not address the entire posterior tie, which can lead to later issues like speech problems.RELATED EPISODES YOU MIGHT LOVEEp 219: Rapid Palatal Expansion for Airway Clearance and Mia's Airway JourneyEp 333: Transforming airway health & smiles with MARPE featuring Dr. Svitlana Koval, DMD, MSc, BDSOTHER WAYS TO CONNECT & LEARN

In this powerful and confronting conversation, Dr. Melissa Sell returns to Here for the Truth for her eighth appearance to explore how modern medical and cultural rituals have severed us from our primal instincts, our intuition, and our innate trust in life. Through the lens of German New Medicine and the Five Biological Laws, we examine how the earliest experiences of infants—from wellness checks to ear piercings to “cry it out” sleep training—can imprint deep patterns of fear, separation, and obedience. This episode is a wake-up call to reclaim our natural intelligence, to see through the conditioning that normalizes harm, and to remember that true health begins with awareness and self-responsibility.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:27) Opening Conversation(07:57) Introduction to Dr. Melissa Sell's Work(08:39) The Growth of German New Medicine(10:35) Parenting and Health Paradigms(30:27) Personal Anecdotes and Reflections(45:35) The Ritual of Water and Biological Adaptation(49:21) Historical Context of Birthing Practices(50:41) Ear Piercing and Parental Dilemmas(52:09) Cultural Practices and Instinctual Overrides(55:44) Children's Nighttime Fears and Parental Influence(01:01:28) Biological Conflicts and Hospital Visits(01:03:07) Sleep Training and Crying It Out(01:06:26) Separation Conflicts and Childhood Diseases(01:09:13) Parental Conflicts and Child Symptoms(01:12:20) Spirituality and German New Medicine(01:19:38) Germanic People and Natural Living(01:25:37) The Impact of Fathers Traveling for Work(01:29:06) The Evolution of Family Names and Roles(01:31:18) Perspectives on Evolution and Adaptation(01:38:43) Sibling Rivalries and Biological Conflicts(01:40:33) The Significance of Tongue Posture and Ties(01:45:52) The Body's Biological AdaptationsGuest Linkshttps://www.drmelissasell.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drmelissasell/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links

Across the global South, poor women's lives are embedded in their social relationships and governed not just by formal institutions – rules that exist on paper – but by informal norms and practices. Village Ties: Women, NGOs, and Informal Institutions in Rural Bangladesh (Rutgers UP, 2021) takes the reader to Bangladesh, a country that has risen from the ashes of war, natural disaster, and decades of resource drain to become a development miracle. The book argues that grassroots women's mobilization programs can empower women to challenge informal institutions when such programs are anti-oppression, deliberative, and embedded in their communities. Qayum dives into the work of Polli Shomaj (PS), a program of the development organization BRAC to show how the women of PS negotiate with state and society to alter the rules of the game, changing how poor people access resources including safety nets, the law, and governing spaces. These women create a complex and rapidly transforming world where multiple overlapping institutions exist – formal and informal, old and new, desirable and undesirable. In actively challenging power structures around them, these women defy stereotypes of poor Muslim women as backward, subservient, oppressed, and in need of saving.

In a fact-finding report released by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in January 2020, conducted by the law firm Goodwin Procter LLP, it was found that Epstein donated a total of about $850,000 to MIT between 2002 and 2017, with approximately $225,000 going directly to Lloyd. The report concluded that Lloyd “purposefully failed to inform MIT” that Epstein—a convicted sex offender—was the source of certain donations in 2012 and that Lloyd allowed the gifts to be processed through administrators without formal discussion or full vetting. The report also stated that Lloyd accepted a personal gift of around $60,000 from Epstein in 2005 or 2006, deposited to his personal bank account and not reported to MIT.Lloyd publicly rejected key aspects of the report. He stated that the accusations were “completely false” and maintained that MIT administrators “knew that the donor was Epstein and fully approved the donation with this knowledge.” He also said he did not concede any breach of professional duty despite the report's language implying he did. Lloyd pointed to email evidence showing MIT staff's direct acknowledgment of Epstein's donation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the U.S. and its allies have rolled out sweeping sanctions — freezing Moscow's central-bank assets, cutting major banks off SWIFT, and capping Russian oil prices through export bans and trade restrictions. These moves have reshaped global energy flows, with India emerging as one of Russia's top oil buyers — importing record volumes of discounted crude despite mounting Western pressure. Under the Biden administration, Washington led these coordinated efforts to choke off funding for Russia's war. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has used the threat of sanctions to discourage trade with Moscow, a move that's largely targeted India's continued oil imports. Now, fresh U.S. tariffs and the threat of secondary sanctions are complicating New Delhi's effort to secure affordable fuel. For India, discounted Russian oil has become both an opportunity and a diplomatic test. What do these sanctions mean for India's decades-old partnership with Moscow?

This week, a former Ukrainian lawmaker and a Ukrainian military official join the podcast to discuss North Korea's support of Russian forces, and why this poses a threat to South Korea's security. Dr. Hanna Hopko, co-founder of the International Center of Ukrainian Victory, and Ukrainian National Guard Lt. Volodymyr Vernygora examine the evolving DPRK-Russia military partnership, which they say should be raising alarms throughout the international community, as well as Seoul's response. The two experts also stress that South Korean President Lee Jae-myung and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy should boost bilateral engagements to counter these developments, while warning that North Korea's troops are obtaining something money can't always buy: battlefield experience. Hopko is a former member of Ukraine's parliament and the co-founder of the International Center of Ukrainian Victory, a nongovernmental organization seeking to mobilize international support for Kyiv's fight against Ukraine. Vernygora is a lieutenant and international cooperation officer in the 1st Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine, with two decades of experience in international relations, academia, and strategic communications.  About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insights from our very own journalists.

Never-before-seen emails from Jeffrey Epstein's estate have just been released by the House Oversight Committee — and for the first time, they directly mention President Trump, shedding new light on the world Ghislaine Maxwell was operating in and the powerful figures connected to Epstein.

FOCAC Outlook: Why Beijings Summit Could Deliver Big Wins For China Africa Ties | China Daily Ep9 by Capital FM

On today's podcast:1) President Trump signed legislation to end the longest government shutdown in US history, marking the official conclusion to a 43-day impasse that halted food aid to millions of households, canceled thousands of flights and forced federal workers to go unpaid for more than a month. Trump’s signature means the government can begin to resume normal operations, with federal workers expected back on the job starting Thursday. However it could still take days, or even weeks, for the federal bureaucracy to fully restart and dig out of the backlog after being closed since October 1st. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told reporters Wednesday he anticipated it could take as long as a week to start lifting flight restrictions at major airports.2) Democrats have returned to pressing President Trump on his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, highlighting a selection of emails in which the late financier and convicted sex trafficker suggested the president knew of his activities. A congressional committee on Wednesday released some 20,000 pages of documents, pivoting attention away from the ongoing government shutdown and forcing the White House to respond to an issue that has frustrated the president and drawn scrutiny from parts of his base. The new information came the same day that a new House lawmaker was officially sworn into office. Adelita Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat, immediately signed a petition forcing a vote on legislation to compel the Justice Department to release files on Epstein.3) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy implored European Union allies to overcome their divisions on the use of frozen Russian assets, saying fresh funding is critical for his war-battered economy to stay in the fight against Moscow. The EU has postponed until December a decision on tapping the Russian state assets to provide €140 billion ($162 billion) in loans to Ukraine, which needs new funding by early next year. Russia’s invasion has dragged well into its fourth year as Zelenskiy’s government deals with a battered economy and exhausted fighting forces in Europe’s worst conflict since World War II. With US funding halted, European governments have vowed to step up assistance to fend off a new threat from the Kremlin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US House Democrats have released emails they say raise new questions about President Donald Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein and how much he knew about the financier's abuse of underage girls. The correspondence released by Democrats on the U-S House Oversight Committee consist of messages between Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and journalist Michael Wolff that directly name Mr Trump, and suggest he may have spent hours at Epstein's home with one of the victims.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Spanish King Felipe VI have discussed the two countries' long-lasting friendship and pledged to advance ties through 10 newly-signed cooperation documents (01:04).

On October 30, US President Trump and China's leader Xi Jinping met in Busan, South Korea. It was their first face-to-face meeting in 6 years. There was a lot at stake in this meeting for the US and China, as well as for the rest of the world. In my view, the outcome is best described as a fragile truce. The path forward for US-China relations remains uncertain – greater stability and predictability is possible, but not assured. Intense competition across several domains, especially technology, is likely.Today's episode focuses on the Trump-Xi summit and the future of US-China relations, featuring Mr. Dennis Wilder. Dennis is a senior fellow for the Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues at Georgetown University, where he previously served as the managing director, and assistant professor of the practice in Asian studies in the School of Foreign Service.
