As Donald Trump took a tour of the Middle East last week, there was one notable omission from his itinerary - a trip to see America's long term political ally in the region, Israel. Instead, the US President voiced concern for the ongoing famine in Gaza. And now, after days of speculation, Benjamin Netanyahu has been forced to dismiss talk of a rift with Israel's military and diplomatic patron. But what caused Trump's patience to snap, and will it change anything for starving Gazans?This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

Your Party Workers."[In the 1988 episode of Count Duckula, "The Vampire Strikes Back", a space-faring superhero, Tremendous Terrance, asks Duckula the date and is told, "May the Fourth".

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the UK parliament holds a hearing on that Netflix “Adolescence” show that they're so obsessed with. The hockey player who kicked another player in the neck and killed him will not face any criminal charges. Viral bodycam footage of a woman needlessly turning a traffic ticket into an arrest shows again why body cameras have killed the BLM and defund-the-police movements.

We have an interview this month with Dr Margaret McCartney, a Glasgow GP, broadcaster, and writer, who discusses her journey into media, the current challenges faced in general practice, and her views on technology, evidence-based medicine, and contemporary healthcare issues. Margaret shares how her media career began rather unexpectedly and gives some insights into her media engagement. She expresses significant frustration with outdated IT systems in Scottish general practice, in particular the current version of Docman, and argues for improvements and suggests integration of beneficial AI technologies could alleviate some of the administrative burdens. The conversation also covers broader healthcare themes, including the application of evidence-based medicine, highlighting the necessity for doctors to interpret guidelines flexibly, and consider patient-specific contexts and complexities. Margaret discusses the application of shared decision-making, including some situations when this may not be appropriate, the implications of fragmented healthcare teams for continuity of care, and the ethical dimensions of assisted dying, advocating caution against expanding medical powers without adequately considering vulnerable populations. Additionally, the discussion touches on concerns regarding social media's impact on young people's mental health, recommending evidence-based approaches to address negative influences effectively.

War engages our fight or flight instincts. When immediate threats like conflict arise, they often overshadow slower-burning, long-term crises like climate change.In this episode, James and Daisy talk about war. How does climate change fuel conflict? How does war, in turn, hinder efforts to combat the climate crisis? How do we avoid trading one existential threat for another?SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: Conflict and Environment Observatory – CEOBS was launched in 2018 with the primary goal of increasing awareness and understanding of the environmental and derived humanitarian consequences of conflicts and military activities.The Military Emissions Gap – This site is dedicated to tracking, analysing and closing the military emissions gap, bringing together the data that governments report into one place.OTHER ADVOCATES, FACTS, AND RESOURCES:NATO (2023) – Here are some remarks by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg from the UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai.ND-GAIN Country Index – Summarizes a country's vulnerability to climate change and other global challenges in combination with its readiness to improve resilience.United Nations – Today, of the 15 countries most vulnerable to climate change, 13 are struggling with violent conflicts.Sir Christopher John Greenwood - After being called to the Bar by Middle Temple, he became a Fellow of Magdalene in 1978 and later Professor of International Law at the London School of Economics, specialising in international humanitarian law.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine meets Areiel Wolanow, the managing director of Finserv Experts, who discusses his journey from IBM to founding FinServ Experts, emphasising the importance of focusing on business models enabled by technology rather than the technology itself. Areiel delves into the challenges and opportunities presented by artificial intelligence, responsible AI practices, and the implications of quantum computing for data security, highlighting the need for organisations to adapt their approaches to digital transformation, advocating for a migration strategy over traditional transformation methods KEY TAKEAWAYS Emerging tech should be leveraged to create new business models rather than just re-engineering existing ones. Understanding the business implications of technology is crucial for delivering value. When harnessing artificial intelligence, it's essential to identify the real underlying problems within an organisation, assess its maturity, and build self-awareness before applying maturity models and gap analyses. The EU AI Act serves as a comprehensive guideline for responsible AI use, offering risk categories and controls that can benefit companies outside the EU by providing a framework for ethical AI practices without the burden of compliance. Organisations should prepare for the future of quantum computing by ensuring their data is protected against potential vulnerabilities. This involves adopting quantum-resilient algorithms and planning for the transition well in advance. Leaders should place significant responsibility on younger team members who are more familiar with emerging technologies. Providing them with autonomy and support can lead to innovative solutions and successful business outcomes. BEST MOMENTS 'We focus not on the technology itself, but on the business models the tech enables.' 'The first thing you have to do... is to say, OK, is the proximate cause the real problem?' 'The best AI regulations out there is the EU AI Act... it actually benefits AI companies outside the EU more than it benefits within.' 'Digital transformations have two things in common. One is they're expensive, and two is they always fail.' ABOUT THE GUEST Areiel Wolanow is the managing director of Finserv Experts. He is an experienced business leader with over 25 years of experience in business transformation solutioning, sales, and execution. He served as one of IBM’s key thought leaders in blockchain, machine learning, and financial inclusion.

The Assisted Dying Bill is currently under debate in UK Parliament, with strong public support but also deep ethical concerns.

The 1870 Education Act was the first to deal specifically with the provision of British schools. Speaking in the House of Commons, William Edward Forster MP proposed: "I believe that the country demands from us that we should… cover the country with good schools, and get parents to send their children to those schools.” But there was opposition: from Christians concerned about the religious nonconformity of these new institutions; ideologues who thought the state simply couldn't afford to fund them; and families who relied on their children bringing home a wage from work.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why Prime Minister William Gladstone was disappointed by the reforms; examine whether the intention was really as philanthropic as it seemed; and reveal why it was only in living memory that Britain's education policy truly provided the nation's kids with full-time schooling…  Thanks to James Plunkett's book, End State (2021) for inspiring this topic.

In this episode of Creedal, we discuss what the Incarnation reveals about human dignity and apply those lessons to the ongoing debate about assisted suicide in the UK. Zac provides a detailed overview of the proposed legislation on assisted suicide, arguing against it from both moral and policy perspectives, and highlighting the dangers of framing such issues in a misleading way. In this conversation, Zac discusses the complex issues surrounding assisted dying legislation, emphasizing the need for a nuanced understanding of dignity, autonomy, and the healthcare system. He critiques the slippery slope of assisted suicide laws, highlighting the potential for abuse and the importance of palliative care. Zac argues for the necessity of hope in end-of-life decisions and the ethical responsibilities of healthcare providers. Takeaways Mass hysteria reflects humanity's chronic existential anxiety. Advent serves as a reminder to place hope in Jesus. The incarnation elevates human dignity and opens possibilities for eternal life. Assisted suicide is currently being debated in the UK Parliament. The UK has a long-standing prohibition against assisted suicide since 1961. The recent second reading of the bill indicates majority support in Parliament. Assisted suicide raises significant moral and practical concerns. Public support for assisted dying is often framed misleadingly. Dignity in dying is a term used to garner support for assisted suicide. Assisted suicide is always a bad idea from both moral and policy standpoints. A lack of autonomy does not diminish dignity. Canada's assisted suicide statistics are alarming. Coercion can be implicit in decisions about assisted suicide. Palliative care should be prioritized over assisted suicide. Hope is essential in discussions about end-of-life care. Sound Bites "Our ultimate hope lies in Jesus Christ." "Mass hysteria is a feature of humanity." "Advent is a time to reassess our hope." "This is a giant sea change for the UK." "Assisted suicide is always a problem." "Assisted suicide is bad policy." "We have a broken healthcare system." "Autonomy does not change your dignity."

Show NotesWe start with the recent UK Parliament decision in favour of assisted dying and the religion and secular division that it brought out. Then we enjoy discussing Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol at length.  There's a debate among academics on whether it is a fully secular story, or if it is a Christian allegory.  We wade in.  The question on what Dickens' own beliefs were has relevance and it seems that he had a “works not faith” view of Christianity, especially with reference to A Christmas Carol (or in Ed's words “a wishy washy Anglican”). We see a message similar to Jesus' in Luke's gospel in particular as well as the synoptics in general, which is in conflict with material in the rest of the NT. Links:The BBC documentary on assisted dying “Better Off Dead?” with actress Liz Carrhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001z8wc A short academic resource on Dickens and Christianityhttps://dickens.ucsc.edu/resources/faq/religion.html We recommend the wikipedia page on the novellahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Christmas_Carol And the Melvin Bragg BBC Radio 4 “In Our Time” episode on ithttps://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0012fl5 Doubts Aloud Links:Please give feedback and ask questions using:  doubtsaloud@gmail.com

Voice Of GO(r)D brings you a deep and dark conversation, hot on the heels of the UK Parliament passing an assisted dying law through second reading, between Canadian MAID critic Amanda Achtman, and Jeff Shafer, an American lawyer and scholar who has been investigating developments in legal language which have been used to justify the commercial expansion of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) beyond merely helping those who have trouble conceiving a child. The conversation is a pretty serious examination of how The Machine applies its twisted logic to the beginning and end of life, and offers us a glimpse in to how we might resist these developments and conserve what humanity we have left in 2024.

According to the National Retail Federation, a record 183 million people are expected to shop in-store and online between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday this year. Despite the convenience and ease of online shopping, about two-thirds of Black Friday shoppers surveyed said they plan to shop in stores on Friday. At least six Democratic members of Congress from Connecticut have said they were targeted with bomb threats to their homes, including Sen. Chris Murphy and all five House members—Reps. Jim Himes, Joe Courtney, John Larson, Jahana Hayes, and Rosa DeLauro. Police who responded said they didn't find any evidence of explosives on the lawmakers' properties. The UK Parliament gave initial support to a new bill to legalize assisted dying on Friday, paving the way for months of further debate. The bill would provide mentally competent, terminally ill adults in England and Wales—who doctors assess to have six months or less left to live—with the right to choose to end their lives with medical help. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

In this special episode, Rosie Gill-Moss shares her reaction to the historic news that the UK Parliament has voted in favour of legalising assisted dying. Recorded just hours after hearing the announcement, Rosie reflects on the significance of this decision, drawing from personal stories shared on Widowed AF and the emotional conversations that shaped the podcast's early episodes.As the host of Widowed AF, Rosie has spoken with over 100 individuals about some of the darkest times of their lives, often compounded by the suffering they have witnessed. She questions, “Why are we denied dignity and autonomy at the end of our lives, when we value them above almost all else?”While end-of-life care is often excellent, it does not alleviate all suffering. Rosie explores the deeply personal choice of assisted dying, the fear and dignity involved, and the relief this new law may provide to those facing terminal diagnoses. “None of us can predict how we might feel when facing a terminal diagnosis,” Rosie states. “I personally want this option to be available. I can't say if I would use it, but I know I want the choice.”Tune in for a deeply personal and thought-provoking commentary on this historic moment of compassion, choice, and dignity.Key Topics:•The emotional impact of the vote•Reflections on stories shared in Widowed AF episodes “Dignity” and “Thought-Provoking AF”•Why dignity and autonomy matter at the end of lifeRelated Episodes:•Episode 11: Dignity - Anonymous Guest•Episode 12: Thought-Provoking AFConnect with Us: Follow us on Instagram @widowedAF Email: theshow at widowedAF.com Web: (https://www.widowedaf.com) Watch on (YouTube)

This is part two of our conversation with JP Davis, a social entrepreneur nicknamed "The Pride of Kentucky" and an uber-fundraiser for good causes. JP has agreed to support Kristi's non-profit K9s4COPS and K9s4KIDS, which deploys canines and their handlers to protect schoolchildren, hunt down narcotics and dealers, and combat crime across the US.   JP is a gay man who bucks the perception that Louisville is only for straights, describing himself to friends as a "proud, Appalachian homo". He's enjoyed a stellar career which has taken him from White House Intern under George Bush Jr., to assistant to a Conservative member of the UK Parliament, to returning to Louisville to launch his consulting firm, JP Davis Partners.  He believes the best politicians see themselves as public servants, and all political dialogue should start "with empathy". He condemns the adversarial nature of today's politics on both sides. But he's optimistic, believing that more people than ever are questioning what they hear, and thinking independently.  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyjpdavis/ https://www.jpdavispartners.com/about00:00 Start00:03 Fat, straight and Republican00:29 Proud, Appalachian homo01:22 "The pros are stepping in now"01:45 "This makes me feel like I have purpose"02:16 "Everybody in DC is gay"02:20 Lunch with GOP Powerhitters02:48 Politicians as good public servants03:28 "Talk issues"04:18 "Talking politics shouldn't be a bloodbath"05:40 "We've evolved beyond black and white issues"06:24 "I meet political people where they are"06:50 "There are bad apples on both sides"07:50 "Leveraging hot issues to divide us"08:30 "Immediate news is too often taken as truth"09:52 "We've got a lot of issues we're not facing"10:15 "I hate Taylor Swift" - "Dude......"10:50 "Donald Trump is our version of Kim Jong Un" 11:45 "People still believe he speaks for us"13:33 "Independent thinking is growing" 15:00 Honk for Jesus15:20 Evangelical church and transitions16:46 Seeing God in Grandmothers and the devil in families17:10 "Love is an action, not a word"17:50 What is a "holler"?18:55 The culture of being "looked down upon"20:12 We all deserve the same respect20:34 How can people be more financially secure? 21:00 Jeff Bezos' profits and the pay of his employees23:45 "A smart person figures out the effects of their actions on future generations"24:38 Lead with Empathy25:30 Kentucky ban on conversion therapy 26:51 Learning, Growing, Evolving, or Liberal Arts Education?

How do you currently help your teen distinguish between reliable and unreliable sources of information online? Have you noticed your teen questioning claims they hear on social media, and how do you guide them through those conversations? In this episode of Power Your Parenting: Moms with Teens, Colleen O'Grady interviews Alex Edmonds, author of May Contain Lies: How Stories, Statistics, and Studies Exploit Our Biases and What We Can Do About It. Together, they discuss the growing challenge of misinformation and how it impacts teens in today's world. Edmonds breaks down how teens are vulnerable to false claims online and what parents can do to help them navigate this complex digital landscape. Alex Edmans is Professor of Finance at London Business School. His TED talk "What to Trust in a Post-Truth World" has been viewed two million times; he has also spoken at the World Economic Forum, Davos, and the UK Parliament. In 2013, he was awarded tenure at the Wharton School, and in 2021, he was named MBA Professor of the Year by Poets&Quants. Edmans writes regularly for the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, and Harvard Business Review. His first book, Grow the Pie, was a Financial Times Book of the Year. He is a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences.  The rise of social media and online platforms has made teens more vulnerable to misinformation, as they are frequently exposed to unverified information. Like adults, teens are susceptible to confirmation bias, meaning they gravitate toward information that aligns with their existing beliefs, which makes it harder for them to analyze opposing views critically. Their tendency toward black-and-white thinking further complicates matters, as they often see the world in absolutes, making them more likely to fall for exaggerated or simplistic claims. Teaching teens to engage in critical thinking, question the evidence behind the information they encounter, and assess sources is essential in combating misinformation. Parents play a vital role in this process by fostering an open dialogue, encouraging curiosity, and creating a home environment where critical thinking is valued. In a world dominated by social media influencers and viral content, misinformation spreads rapidly, especially when it taps into teens' cultural identities or trusted public figures, making parental guidance even more important.

In this episode the Pride of Louisville, Kentucky, JP Davis, offers to support Kristi's non-profits K9s4COPS and K9s4KIDS, which deploy canines and their handlers to protect schoolchildren, hunt down narcotics and dealers, and combat crime across the US.   We discuss how law enforcement dogs could help in the horrific school shootings across the country. They already provide protection for thousands of school children every day, and enhance the school communities in which they serve by safeguarding both the mental and physical welfare of the children. As presidential candidate Nikki Haley asked: "Why don't we have this in every school?" Then there are the millions of dollars in drugs Kristi's dogs have helped remove from the streets with their law enforcement handlers throughout the United States.JP is a social entrepreneur, serial mega-fundraiser for important causes, and a gay man who bucks the perception that Louisville is only for straights. He's enjoyed a stellar career which has taken him from White House Intern under George Bush Jr., to assistant to a Conservative member of the UK Parliament, to returning to Louisville to launch his consulting firm, JP Davis Partners, and to his support for both infrastructure organizations and nonprofits. We discuss the challenges of sustaining non-profit organizations in a world of scarcity, from convincing federal and state lawmakers of the merits of the programs, to the challenge of soliciting the smallest of donations to protect our citizens and communities at large. https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyjpdavis/ https://www.jpdavispartners.com/abouthttps://www.whitneystrong.org/storyhttps://www.K9s4cops.orgSTORIES00:00 Start00:13 In Person JP Davis "The Groupie"00:44 "You are Miss Texas" 01:01 "If you don't know what's going on around you, how can you conduct your day?" 01:24 Survival groups: Dr. Pepper, Beckys, Blue Bell Ice Cream, 'Whataburger' power outage map02:25 K9s4COPS 02:48 "It was a robust itinerary"03:25 College football; and name, image, and likeness04:30 Dude Perfect at Texas A&M05:39 JP is a fundraising guru06:09 "Fundraising is not asking for money" 06:29 The Whitney Austin Story (Whitneystrong.org) - mass shooting survivor07:35 The Pulse Nightclub Shooting - a dog could have sniffed the shooter's weapon08:33 "Projects like this give me hope"08:27 "$25-thousand for a dog?
