In this episode of the ChinaPower podcast, Dr. Janka Oertel joins us to discuss the evolving relationship between Europe and China, and how Europe views both economic ties and security challenges posed by Beijing. She argues that China is not engaging in a successful charm offensive. Dr. Oertel describes how both the first and second Trump administration have shaped economic and security dynamics within the China-Europe relationship and outlines how Europe-China relations have become increasingly strained by competitive economic pressures imposed by China, such as issues with overcapacity, as well as how China's support for Russia following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine has undermined the relationship. She also examines Europe's internal responses to pressures coming from China and Europe's active attempts at economic diversification, defense buildup and strategic autonomy, and global outreach to partners and allies. Lastly, she elaborates on areas of potential greater collaboration between the EU and the Indo-Pacific as well as avenues for the U.S. and Europe to continue working together to address dual security and economic challenges posed by China. Dr. Janka Oertel is the director of Asia Programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations. Her expertise focuses on transatlantic China policy, emerging technologies, Chinese foreign and security policies, and security issues in Asia. Previously, she worked as a senior fellow in the Asia programme at the Berlin office of the German Marshall Fund of the United States, a programme director at Körber Foundation's Berlin office, a visiting fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP Berlin) and a Carlo-Schmid fellow at United Nations Headquarters, New York. She has testified before the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the German Bundestag, and is frequently quoted in leading media outlets such as the Financial Times, the New York Times, The Economist, Süddeutsche Zeitung, El Confidencial, Berlingske, and many more.

What happens when the country that helped design the international human rights system starts to dismantle it?In this episode, we speak with the former president of the U.N. General Assembly, Ambassador Dennis Francis, about the growing threats to global cooperation and human rights—from authoritarian drift, to shrinking U.S. commitments, to rising fears inside the U.N. system itself. Is this the end of the liberal international order? And if so, what comes next?

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 39-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,526 on turnover of $3.6-billion N-T. Joseph Wu rebuts Trump chip theft claim National Security Council head Joseph Wu is rebutting claims by U-S President Donald Trump that Taiwan stole the semiconductor business from America. Speaking at the Halifax International Security Forum in Taipei, Wu stressed that Taiwan "did not steal anything from anybody" .. …. and stressed that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing "started from scratch" with "some help from the international community." The statements come after Trump earlier this week announced that America could hit semiconductors with tariffs of around 25-per cent in the coming weeks. Wu told delegates at the forum that the government is continuing to assess the potential impact of such a move and will be prepared to adjust its economic structure if such a need arises. He warned that those bearing the cost of such tariffs will be U-S consumers, and he's sure eventually the Trump administration will reconsider (重新考慮) its decision." Taoyuan Airport MRT preparing for 200-millionth rider The Taoyuan Metro Corporation says it's preparing to celebrate its 200-millionth passenger trip earlier than expected. According to the Airport M-R-T operator, the milestone was originally projected for March, but due increased ridership during the on-going Lantern Festival, it's now expected to meet the number sometime this weekend. The lucky passenger who takes the 200-millionth trip will receive a one-year Greater Taipei commuter (通勤者) pass and a gifts worth 20,000 N-T. The five passengers before and after them will receive two-month commuter passes and special gifts. Israel: Returned Remains Not Missing Mother The Israeli military says the remains of two child hostages have been identified but another body released by Hamas was not the boys' mother. Hamas militants had turned over four bodies Thursday under the tenuous (脆弱的) ceasefire that has paused over 15 months of war. Israeli confirmed one body was that of Oded Lifshitz, who was 83 when he was abducted during the Hamas attack that started the war in 2023. The military said later the remains of Ariel and Kfir Bibas had been identified and the family notified. But the military said the additional body was not that of their mother Shiri Bibas nor any other hostage. It called the failure to return four hostages Thursday a violation of the utmost severity of the ceasefire agreement. UN Alarm on DRC Fighting The United Nations has once again sounded the alarm bells at the devastating impact of the continued fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Some 35 thousand people have fled the east of the DRC to Burundi since the beginning of February. Rwanda-backed M-23 fighters continue to advance (前進) across both South and North Kivu. Jody Jacobs has an update from the United Nations Headquarters in New York… Argentina Drops Some Charges in Payne Death Case A court in Argentina has dropped charges of criminal negligence against three of the five people indicted in connection with the death of Liam Payne, the former One Direction singer who fell from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires last October. In its decision, obtained (獲得) by The Associated Press on Thursday, the Argentine federal appeals court ordered the other two defendants in the case to remain in custody.

This week, I speak to Nikki Muller is a Swiss-Filipina, Third Culture Kid. The FLY Entertainment Artist landed her first regional TV job when she was just 15 years old, hosting MTV@Mbassy. At 20 she was nominated as “Best Entertainment Presenter” at the Asian Television Awards while interning with Diane Sawyer for ABC News in New York City. She's covered tennis and motor sports on Fox Sports Asia, talked food science on National Geographic and moderated discussions ranging from sustainability, inclusivity in the workplace and the future of tech. While working at the United Nations Headquarters, Nikki's interest in organizational leadership and cultural competence was first sparked. Nikki now focuses her area of expertise on the Third Culture Kid (TCK) experience and the unique lessons that come from having lived a highly mobile and multi-cultural childhood. Nikki, and many TCKs like her, are acclimatised to disruption from an early age and seek out the opportunities that accompany change. As a trained journalist, Nikki's research on identity, belonging and managing transitions is extremely relevant to today's most significant workplace challenges. We're seeing organisations prioritise diversity, equity and inclusion as they face remarkable changes within their own companies across all sectors. Nikki's keynotes share small gearshifts that can make a big difference in reinvigorating collaborative teams amidst uncertainty. Her keynotes are brought to life through her own personal stories and interwoven with the latest science around the power of positive transitions and the tools to cultivate a culture of belonging. Having spent her formative years navigating copious change and grappling with a search for roots and community, Nikki has found a way to take the lessons of her childhood and make them relevant to today's most pressing challenges and opportunities. Episode Highlights: Life as the new Mrs. Nikki Muller Deciding on next moves as a TCK The need for restlessness, the anticipation for change Being acclimated to discomfort as a TCK The relationship to taking risks as a TCK The loss and grief that comes from a move What happens in our limbic system when experiencing culture shock Where do we feel a sense of belonging?

Background on the Attack CDK Global, the leading provider of dealership management systems and digital retailing solutions, said cybersecurity breaches began on Tuesday. By Wednesday afternoon, CDK's core systems were restored, only to be shuttered on Thursday after a second hack attack. This has made it nearly impossible for thousands of dealers to buy and sell vehicles this week. "We cannot process paperwork. Everything is frozen, everything is tied up — we cannot move money back and forth to pay off cars, to finance our customers' transactions," Tom Maioli, who owns Celebrity Motor Car Company with dealerships across  York and New Jersey, told CBS MoneyWatch (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cdk-cyber-attack-outage-update-2024/) He said his business is "completely shut down." https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/everything-frozen-third-day-cyberattack-leaves-15000-auto-dealerships-crippled This shut down was a Real event, but done by the Deep State NWO / One World Order Crowd..

Five Reasons the Elite / WEF boys want to go after Cars 1 Destroy the USA Economy:  Combined, the automotive ecosystem drives more than $1 trillion into the U.S. economy each year – 4.9 percent of GDP.  There are 6 million jobs coast to coast supported by the auto industry. Motor vehicles and parts were the second largest U.S. export in 2021 — more than $105 billion in goods.  Think of all the people that could not work – car fixed   Priming for a Boogie Man: – Watch, will Russia be blamed for the attack to bring on Seal 4 Gov Internet Surveillance and overreach: –Surveillance: Increased surveillance could be used to monitor the activities of citizens, potentially stifling dissent and enabling the manipulation of public opinion. Never let a good crisis go to waste.   Like after 911 with the NDAA that destroyed the Constitution, will there be legislation to watch and surveil the internet more? You'll see some sort of deep state surveillance program.  Post 9/11 Legislation: After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the U.S. government enacted several pieces of legislation and executive orders aimed at preventing future attacks. The most notable of these is the USA PATRIOT Act, which expanded the government's surveillance and investigative powers. Critics argue that these measures infringe on civil liberties, particularly rights to privacy and due process.   Bring on ID2020 as more digital plandemics happen: Cyber Attacks: These could be used to disrupt infrastructure, sow chaos, or steal sensitive information. This could  create a perceived need for increased security and control.  Digital ID Systems: By implementing a digital ID system, the Ai government could monitor and control access to various online services. This could potentially lead to a situation where access to essential services is contingent on compliance with certain rules or behaviors. “Our digital activity increasingly parallels our real-world activity. Participation in the modern economy, the ability to buy and sell, attain employment, healthcare, social services and more are virtually impossible without a digital identity. In May of 2016, at the United Nations Headquarters in NY, ID2020, an alliance of governments, non-profits, academia, over 150 private sector companies and 11 United Nations agencies collaborated on how to provide a unique digital identity to everyone on the planet.”  Source: https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-universal-digital-identification-and-you Destroy your freedom to travel and maybe link to CO2 less emissions during the lack of new cars on the road.

Life is movement and for this Choreographer, Dancer, and Creative Artist, she did just that. From an early age this talented dancer grew through her KBC moments of being "too tall" and " not fitting in". She used her strengths and found her our inner passion as a creative artist. This thriving and talented dancer endured many kick ball changes in NYC, between roomate and bed bug issues, to finding dancers and space to create in. Lean in to her journey of never giving up on yourself or your art work. Her most powerful work she choreographed, tackles the plastic epidemic in our oceans. “Plastic Ocean” The work began as a site-specific commission for the Westbeth gallery in NYC. From there the work was invited to be expanded and performed at the United Nations Headquarters in NYC, and later another version was invited to the Dzul International Dance Festival in Campeche, Mexico. The work consists of dancers moving throughout a sea of plastic bags wearing costumes by Zachary Alexander and dancing to original music by Bettina Sheppard. The visual of the dancers moving in waves throughout the overwhelming amount of plastic is quite striking. The bags almost create a type of water-like movement onstage to dance in, but the gravity of the message creates a bittersweet memorable image for audience members.

For the past 77 years, since the founding of Pakistan at the partition of British held India, the United States and Pakistan have worked together to try and bring stability to this region of the world. As the fifth largest country in the world, as measured by population, and sitting at a geopolitical strategic crossroads, Pakistan remains an important partner on a wide range of issues of global, regional, and national interest. Whether it is managing their own relations with India, balancing the interests of the United States and China, or working on transnational issues such as climate change and terrorism, this country plays a key role in responding to the various challenges facing the world today. In this episode, we speak with Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States, Masood Khan, to explore the role that Pakistan would like to fill in the international system, to discuss where interests overlap, and to identify what Pakistan wants to see from its relationship with the United States. Through this conversation, we highlight the importance of understanding the deeper relationships than what is typically talked about. By discussing how the US-Pakistan relationship goes deeper than counterterrorism, we can better understand the ways this relationship can be leveraged to benefit both countries. Ambassador Masood Khan is currently serving as Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States, a role he has held since 2022. Prior to that he was the President of Azad Jammu and Kashmir from August 2016 to August 2021.

What could we accomplish if borders did not exist? Meet Anthony and Saundarya. They are high schoolers with a keen interest in giving back, and their dedication and commitment to service spans various local and global communities. Anthony lives in Arizona. Saundarya lives in India. They come from different cultures and countries, but they believe that borders are not obstacles, challenges, or hindrances to their work with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The borders that, for some, would seem to separate the two youth are actually differences that have helped bring them closer together. Tune in to listen to their stories and the advice they have for other youth around the globe who are ready to take action in their communities. ...Anthony Dyjak is the president and founder of his high school's UNA chapter. He has competed in many speech and debate competitions and is the Treasurer for his school's Amnesty International organization. He is also a member of his school's Future Business Leaders of America club. He has won various geography competitions and olympiads, and has a great passion for geography, politics, and history. He has visited the United Nations Headquarters and is an advocate for fair elections, climate legislation, women's rights, LGBTQ rights, and minority rights in his local community....Saundarya Nair serves on the Teen Advisory Board at Girl Up Leader and as the Vice President of her school club, Flames of Justice. Her passions include advocating for gender and climate justice, the financial independence of rural women, xenophobia, and sports for a purpose. She has contributed to pilot programs on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Sports Innovation Labs, and was selected from representatives of over 120 countries to serve as a YOUNGA delegate in 2022. She has won awards at national-level debates and Model United Nations (MUNs), participated in the 2022 International Human Rights Art Festival (IHRAF) Youth Anthology, and was an honoree of the Girl Hero Awards 2022.

This is PART 4, the final episode of a four-part series; an interview of Samantha McCoy. Talking to hundreds of people in an podcast interview, about something as deeply personal and hurtful as the trauma of rape, takes a tremendous amount of strength and courage; two things that all four of the guests in this series have demonstrated in an amazing, meaningful, and helpful way. And Samantha's story of rape and recovery is as powerful as the previous three stories you've heard during this series. During my interview with her, Samantha tells about the shock and terror of waking up from a drug induced state of unconsciousness, to finding out that not only was she raped by someone who she cared for and was close to, but also that the perpetrator video recorded the rape…and digitally distributed it to many of her close friends and colleagues. And to add insult to injury, this perpetrator was a police officer! Samantha's story reflects the many aspects of trauma that most victims of rape experience…fear, confusion, anger, frustration, shame, embarrassment…all of which are compounded by the physiological symptoms that accompany any severe physical and mental trauma: repeated nightmares, intrusive memories, physical symptoms of emotional breakdown, sensory activators of trauma such as sights, sounds, body positions, and somatic pain; all common responses and reactions to trauma. The way Samantha tells her story is emotionally gripping. And hearing about the way she was treated by law enforcement after reporting her rape is equally gripping…and aggravating: no one deserves to go through what Samantha went through when she reported her rape. Yet, through it all, Samantha found a channel for recovery and surviving…and uses that channel to help hundreds of thousands of other victims and survivors. Listen to her story of becoming a lawyer in direct response to being raped; and learn of what she's done: Samantha McCoy is an attorney and activist fighting for legislative change in our legal system addressing responses to survivors of violence. First in her many achievements, Samantha was instrumental in passing Indiana's Senate Bill 146 in March of 2020, ensuring rights of survivors of sexual violence, including the right to have a confidential advocate with you during law enforcement questioning and at the emergency room as well as more trauma-informed responses when a survivor discloses abuse. Samantha additionally testified during Indiana's 2020 Summer Legislative Study Committee advocating for an expansion and clarification on the definition of “consent” in the Indiana criminal statute. Samantha went on to successfully lobby for Texas HB 2706 in June of 2021, similarly ensuring trauma-informed approaches and an expansion of rights for survivors of sexual violence. Samantha further successfully lobbied for Connecticut HB 5278 in May of 2022, ensuring explicit consent is obtained prior to the performance of intimate examinations by medical students and other medical professionals. In July of 2022, Samantha testified at the United Nations Headquarters advocating for the passage of the first-ever standalone United Nations Resolution addressing and ensuring rights for all survivors of sexual violence. This Resolution passed in September of 2022, making history. In recognition of this work, Samantha was the recipient of the 2022 Purple Ribbon Outstanding Legislative Partner Award by DomesticShelters. Samantha is working on further changes for survivors in the upcoming 2023 state and federal legislative sessions. This isn't the end of the stories of my four amazing guests: the influence and impact of their stories carries on in all that they are accomplishing in their personal and professional lives. And who knows…you may have the thrill of listening to all of them in one collective round-table on this podcast! It's something I am working on bringing to you in a future episode! Share Samantha's amazing episode with your family, friends, and colleagues. Please subscribe to this podcast and rate each episode you listen to. Growing the audience of this podcast is key to helping bring justice to victims and survivors; we all should do our part to doing just that, and subscribing to this podcast, whether you listen to all the episodes or not, is helpful and greatly appreciated; because we all know someone whose life has been affected by rape or sexual assault. And remember to Start by Believing.  markel-consulting.com

By the time Mel Allen broadcast Game four of the 1949 world series at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn on October 8th, the world was in turmoil. The Yankees would win that day and take the series four games to one, but people's attention was turned toward world politics. The Communist People's Republic of China was formed on October 1st and recognized by the USSR the next day. The Democratic Republic of East Germany was formed on October 7th. On October 14th, Ten Communist Party USA leaders were sentenced to jail time. Two days later the Greek Civil war ended with a Communist surrender, and on October 24th the cornerstone of the United Nations Headquarters was laid in New York. As 1949's holiday season approached, India adopted a constitution, while the labor government was defeated in Australian Federal elections. A growing red scare was now deeply embedded in the media. Alger Hiss' second perjury trial began in November, while Mahatma Gandhi's assassins were executed, and Chinese communist troops continued their march to Taiwan. Members of the media had been claiming there were potential communist cells in the entertainment industry for more than two years.

The masterpiece spy thriller North by Northwest was released in 1959 and directed by legendary director Alfred Hitchcock. The main plot deals with an advertising executive in New York City named Roger Thornhill, played by the legendary leading man Carey Grant. Unfortunately, Mr. Thornhill is the victim of mistaken identity, and the film's plot deals with him traveling by train, car, bus, and plane all over the country from a group of evil spies. Another important character in the film is Eve Kendall. The brilliant Eva Marie Saint plays her. The main villain is the ringleader of a spy organization Phillip Vandamm, played by James Mason. And his second in command is Leonard, played by the fantastic Martin Landau. Some of the incredible locations chosen for filming were Grand Central Station, Chicago Midway Airport, United Nations Headquarters, LaSalle Street Station, Mount Rushmore, and more! Along with my review of the film, I also talk about the casting choices, filming locations, and the lore surrounding Cary Grant's gray suit. If you are a fashion fan, I recommend listening to this last part. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/collin-sugg/message
