For nearly a decade, Harvey Weinstein's former assistant, Zelda Perkins, has been exposing the way NDAs are abused by people of power, and trying to bring about change in how they are used in the workplace. Later in today's episode we ask her why employers are still using NDAs to gag employees and why the government STILL hasn't banned this practice. But we start on the border of India and Pakistan where shots have been fired between two nuclear powers. We're going back to the start with Tim Marshall. Why do these countries hate each other so much? And how did it all begin? We have the explainer for those trying to make sense of the big geopolitical row in the subcontinent.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

This is the second instalment of our full-length in-depth discussion. Tim Marshall is one of the world's most successful authors on foreign affairs. He's the writer who put the ‘geo' into geopolitics with his multi-million-selling books Prisoners of Geography and The Power of Geography. Marshall's principal argument is that without geography we cannot understand the world. Geography explains why Vladimir Putin wanted to annex Crimea; to remain a world power, Russia needs to maintain a navy and since Russian ports are frozen for half the year, Putin wants to control the warm water port of Odessa. In October 2024 Marshall came to the Intelligence Squared stage just weeks out from the pivotal election in the United States to discuss how politics and geography intersect on the world stage. He helped us to understand what's at stake for the world in 2024 and how geography will underpin the geopolitical conflicts of the future.

Tim has a long career as foreign correspondent, covering wars and revolution from the Balkans to the Middle East but he's mostly known for his series of books starting with Prisoners of Geography, in which he argues that more than anything it's geography that determines international relations. I'm a fan of the books but at the same time I'm not sure if I agree with the theory and so in this interview we talk about whether this argument holds water, whether geography influenced Russia to invade Ukraine and whether we should even accept this premise and how it shapes the world from China to the Middle East.

We look at this interesting new book by Paulina Rowinska. In the book, Paulina asks why DO we love maps so much? Maps aren't actually the full story - mathematical principles help us fill in the gaps. See more about the book here. MAPMATICS: How We Navigate the World Through Numbers, reviewed This book is accessible and informative. The author, Paulina Rowinska has written this book aimed at the general reader, and this mostly works. Though there are some moments where her inner mathematical geek gets the better of her, and there are some deep dive equations if you want to go deeper into her ideas. That said, these do not really get in the way of enjoying the book, so she is able to have it both ways. The chapter headers are simple, concise one word affairs, and then each chapter explores various stories that you may know more or less about. This does mean that if Rowinska covers a topic or story that you are already familiar with, the next chapter can always offer something of interest to you. There are good illustrations and they add to the value of the book and help to inform the ideas that she is aiming to convey. We would definitely recommend this book, especially to younger readers, who have a general interest in some of the bigger questions where maths has helped to bring insights and better understanding of the world around us. It also works well as a popular science book for adults too, so it could work for a few members of the household. More about the book: Mapmatics, How We Navigate the World Through Numbers How does a delivery driver distribute hundreds of packages in a single working day? Why does remote Alaska have such a large airport? Where should we look for elusive serial killers? The answers lie in the crucial connection between maps and maths We learn in Mapmatics how, for example, an 18th-century maths conundrum has led to a single delivery driver being able to distribute hundreds of packages in a working day in the most efficient way; why measuring coastlines and geographical boundaries is almost impossible but how the variance impacts everything from fishing rights to world peace; how maps of voting districts can empower or silence whole communities; and where we should look for elusive serial killers. Through entertaining stories, surprising real-world examples and a cast of unforgettable characters, Mapmatics helps us to appreciate the mathematical methods and ideas behind maps. And, by illuminating how our world works, leaves us better equipped to understand and look after it. This is strong pop science, using maps and illustrations to create a book for readers of Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall and Humble Pi by Matt Parker. More about the author Hi! I'm Paulina Rowi?ska, a writer, mathematician and science communicator based in Warsaw, Poland. I authored the popular science book, Mapmatics: How We Navigate the World Through Numbers. During my PhD in mathematics and statistics at Imperial College London, I realised I prefer communicating science to doing research. Through newspaper articles, radio shows, and TV programs, I've shared the beauty and relevance of mathematics with diverse audiences. Now I create interactive maths and data science content for Brilliant, an educational company. In September, I'll join the Graduate Program in Science Writing at MIT in Cambridge, MA. I aim to continue exploring the role of mathematics in our daily lives while also covering topics like mental health and environmental issues. When I'm not writing, you'll probably find me devouring a book from my ever-growing to-be-read pile, learning a new language, or watching a cheesy musical. See more book reviews here.

“It's hard to play a good game when you have been served weak cards”. This is the perennial challenge of Japan when it comes to the Energy Transition. And the game is getting harder when your two main choices, nuclear and hydrogen, are proving extremely costly in a world of cheap renewables.How robust is a business model based on a protected internal market with high margins and limited competition allowing Japan Inc. to expand abroad at super competitive prices, but stifling innovation and diversification? Japan is “Prisoner of its geography” (to quote Tim Marshall); thankfully its answer has been a world class level of engineering allowing to partially overcome its shortcomings.And Gerard, during his recent trip to Japan, has witnessed some extraordinary achievements in the energy transition in the downstream sector, with extreme energy efficiency, retail innovations, and digital developments.We have the pleasure to welcome Shuichiro Kawamura, who heads one of the rare investments' funds focusing on the Energy Transition.

There could be a “gold rush” in space, says Tim Marshall, author of The Future of Geography and a former diplomatic and foreign affairs editor at Sky News. Just as miners in the 19th century ventured into the lawless frontiers of North America, the presence of rare materials on the moon and elsewhere might fuel a race to harness the opportunities of outer space. “This might be one of the most profitable things in the 21st century.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to another captivating episode! Today, we have a special treat for you as we sit down with the brilliant Ed Conway, a prominent figure in economics and journalism. In the 1980s, Ed Conway's journey began near Oxfordshire, where his love for economics and journalism flourished. After studying English at Oxford University, he earned a scholarship to Harvard, where he pursued his master's degree. Armed with degrees from two of the world's finest institutions, Ed returned to the UK, stepping into the role of correspondent for the Daily Mail. Ed's career soared as he became the Economics Editor for both The Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Telegraph. During this time, he achieved a significant milestone by publishing his first book, "50 Economics Ideas You Really Need to Know," which received critical acclaim and was translated into an impressive 13 languages. In 2011, Sky News recognized Ed's exceptional talents, appointing him as their first-ever Economics Editor. Fast forward 12 years, and Ed is still a prominent figure at Sky, having recently released a new book—a personal favorite of ours this year. But don't just take our word for it. Ed's latest book has garnered widespread recognition, earning the title of Book of the Year by The Times, Financial Times, Economist, New Statesman, and BBC Radio 4 Book Of The Week. The praise doesn't stop there, with reviews from notable figures such as Tim Marshall, author of "Prisoners Of Geography," and Peter Frankopan, author of "The Silk Roads." Join us as we delve into Ed Conway's incredible insights into economics and his ability to convey complex ideas in a truly fascinating way.

Max Pearson presents a collection of this week's Witness History episodes from the BBC World Service. We hear from Kwasi Okoh about how his mother Theodosia Okoh designed Ghana's flag after it became the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to gain independence. Our guest, former diplomatic and foreign affairs editor, Tim Marshall, explains the importance of flags for national identity and their changing purpose through history. We also learn about the moment in 1966 when Kwame Nkrumah, one of Africa's most famous leaders, was ousted from power in Ghana. Plus, how in 2013, India's Supreme Court made a landmark ruling aimed at transforming the lives of acid attack survivors. It followed a campaign led by Laxmi Agarwal who at the age of 15 was burned when acid was thrown at her. And the artist Yinka Shonibare discusses how ‘Nelson's Ship in a Bottle' exhibited in London's Trafalgar Square was the world's largest ship in a bottle. And finally, how Kimani Maruge became the oldest man to enroll at a primary school in Kenya.

Arthur Snell's book How Britain Broke the World: War, Greed and Blunders from Kosovo to Afghanistan (1997-2021) (Canbury Press, 2022) critically assesses UK foreign policy over the past 25 years, from Kosovo in 1998 to Afghanistan in 2021, while also scrutinising British policy towards the powerhouses of the USA, Russia, India, and China. Far from being unimportant, Snell reveals, Britain has often played a pivotal role in world affairs. For instance, London supplied the false intelligence that justified the Allied invasion of Iraq and plugged Russia's corrupt elite into Western economies. Then come the bungled humanitarian interventions in foreign states. Without the UK's marginal but key role, the author argues, it's likely that wars would not have blighted the Balkans, Iraq, and Libya, hundreds of thousands of lives would have been saved, and the world would be a safer place in the 2020s. Taking in Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Snell charts the key political, economic and geographic factors that drive the behaviour of the most powerful and populous countries. Like a diplomatic version of Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall, How Britain Broke the World reveals the ignominious reality of UK foreign policy and the true state of world affairs.
