In November gunmen seized more than 300 pupils and a dozen teachers from a Catholic school in northern Nigeria. While authorities have rescued around 100 children, many remain missing. Kidnapping has become a recurring reality in many parts of the country, and in late 2025 President Bola Tinubu declared the crisis a national security emergency. He pledged to boost security in remote areas, but rights groups say the true scale of abductions is hidden by widespread underreporting. The sheer number of kidnappings has also drawn international attention. The United States President has spoken of sending troops to assist, and France's President Emmanuel Macron has offered broader help to tackle insecurity.This week on The Inquiry, we're asking: How can Nigeria stop its kidnap crisis?Contributors Dr Kachi Madreke, politics and international relations scholar, University of Aberdeen, UKDr Jumo Ayandele, clinical assistant professor at New York University's Center for Global Affairs, USJames Barnett, non-resident research fellow at the Centre on Armed GroupsDengiyefa Angalapu, research analyst at the Centre for Democracy and Development in Abuja, NigeriaPresenter: Tanya Beckett Producer: Matt Toulson Researcher: Evie Yabsley Editor: Tom Bigwood Technical Producer: James Bradshaw Production Management Assistant: Liam Morrey(Photo: Nigeria demonstration about student kidnapping.

While I write, the United States President has risen up from 20,000 leagues under the sea and murky waters of the Eastern Seaboard. Not content to wave his tentacles across the American media, crushing those who displease him he has, in a circular sweep with his pal Benjamin, now focused on the BBC. Searching for a hook which which to snare this big fish they have found a questionable editorial choice from an October 28th Panorama Program last year about the US President. The hook is tightly embedded, heads have rolled, and the mighty organization is left rudderless with no captain or first-mate to hold the ship steady. Another decision is to be made, apologize or stand firm, or even let the Government make this decision for them. Pontus Pilate did not have it any easier.
Section 135 - Historical Background: John Taylor and Willard Richards were witnesses to the murder of Joseph and Hyrum Smith. John Taylor was shot several times and fell to the floor but saved his life by rolling under the bed. He was assigned to write the official declaration of the church concerning the assassination. The effort to destroy the Prophet came from two directions: One was from the apostate conspirators within the church, the other was from the gentile mobs outside the church. Once the United States President refused to help the saints, the governors of Missouri and Illinois were emboldened to work together to destroy Joseph Smith. After a failed attempt to kidnap Joseph back to Missouri, Joseph learned that about 200 apostates in Nauvoo conspired together to deliver Joseph to the authorities. This mutiny was led by William Law, second councilor in the First Presidency. They aroused the surrounding communities by publishing outlandish lies in a local paper called the Expositor. Feeling justified by these lies, the Expositor was destroyed by the saints, which further enraged the mobs and conspirators of violating free speech. Joseph and Hyrum fled Nauvoo with the intent of going into the West, but after Governor Ford of Illinois promised to secure the safety of Joseph while sorting out the charges, and promising to actually stay with Joseph in Carthage, Joseph consented to return, even though he knew he was going “like a lamb to the slaughter.” The governor hired the Carthage Greys to guard Joseph even though most of the soldiers were made up of the very mob that wanted to kill him. Then, breaking his promise, Governor Ford left Joseph and Hyrum in the hands of the Greys and fled for Nauvoo. Seeing the obvious setup, the jailor moved his family out of the jail and allowed Joseph and Hyrum to use his bedroom on the upper floor. Around 5:00 PM, about 100 members of the mob rushed past the “guards” and into the jail, stormed up the stairs and tried to force their way through the bedroom door. A bullet fired at the door penetrated into the face of Hyrum who immediately dropped. Willard Richards, John Taylor and Joseph pressed against the door and struck down the gun barrels forced through the small door opening, with bullets pouring into the room from every direction. Joseph knew the mob wouldn't be satisfied until he was dead. Realizing that he might save the lives of his friends, Joseph turned from the door and sprang to the window. He was shot in the back twice from the door and one in the chest from outside. Joseph fell lifeless from the second floor window and struck the cobblestone below. Making certain of his death, four of the mob propped Joseph's body against the well, raised their rifles and shot Joseph point-blank into his chest. Then someone shouted “Here come the Mormons!” and the entire mob fled like cowards back into the woods. Recap: Joseph and Hyrum Smith were martyred to seal their testimony of the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants. Joseph Smith has done more, save Jesus Christ only, for the salvation of men, than any other man. Joseph died innocent and was murdered in cold blood. Just prior to the rushing assassins, Joseph read Ether 12:36-38. The restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ cost the best blood of the nineteenth century. The innocent blood of Joseph and Hyrum will mingle with the blood of all martyrs of ancient times that John saw, and will cry unto the Lord of Hosts until he avenges that blood on the earth. Section 136 - Historical Background: Within 2 years of the murder of Joseph Smith, the saints knew they would suffer the same fate unless they fled to the west. For many years, the leaders of the church had known that eventually the body of the church would have to make a massive migration to the Rocky Mountains. Practically while fleeing the city, the final finishing touch was completed on their beautiful Nauvoo Temple. Over the next few weeks, as mobs grew restless to drive the saints out, over 5,300 saints, at the risk of their lives, delayed their flight in order to receive their temple endowments. Then, amidst the mobbing, burning and violence of the mobs, the remaining saints crossed the Mississippi River in the freezing winter and into the savagery of the unconquered West. Near what is now Omaha Nebraska, a temporary station was established called Winter Quarters. It was here that Brigham Young received the following revelation. Recap: The saints are to be organized in companies, as ancient Israel was organized, in 100's, fifties, and tens, and covenant among themselves and God to obey the commandments. Each company is to prepare themselves for the westward journey, taking a share of the poor and widows. The leading company will cut roads and plant crops on their way for the benefit of those companies who will follow. The Lord assures the saints that their enemies cannot stop them. Just as the Lord saved the Israelites from the Egyptians, so he will save his people in this dispensation. Be honest with one another, be good stewards, be of good cheer with dancing and singing. In times of sorrow, pray unto the Lord. The saints are to be tried to prepare themselves to be faithful for the glory of God. It was needful that Joseph be killed to seal his testimony with his blood. Be faithful, for the kingdom of God has been restored unto you.
Donald Trump has accused Australia and other Western countries of 'rewarding Hamas' - and Anthony Albanese's hopes of a meeting with the US President were dashed. There were tentative hopes last week of a one-on-one meeting on Sunday in Washington DC after the United States President claimed he would meet Albanese 'soon'. Australian correspondent Sam Emery says the leaders have had meetings in the past - but the recent statement on Palestine have impacted relations between Australia and the US.

Ep 549 - Elections Matter Guest: Kareem Allam By Stuart McNish “Pierre Poilievre won 2024,” says Stewart Prest, a political lecturer at UBC's Political Science Department, “but there wasn't an election in 2024.” What seemed like a certainty in early December now appears to be a scramble to hold onto a fighting chance. Political strategist Kareem Allam says, “I feel bad for him – the winds of change are blowing in the opposite direction. These things are out of his hands and they're not breaking for him.” Poilievre made Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his carbon tax policy the issues he wanted Canadians to focus on. On Nov 26, 2024, United States President-elect Donald Trump posted, "On January 20th, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States." From that moment forward, Canada went from a so-called “post national country” to one where nationalism has soared. “That rise in populism, combined with a new Liberal leader, has swung the polls from an outright victory for the Conservatives to a questionable outcome for the Tories,” says Allam. We invited Kareem Allam to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the direction the country is going and who he believes will form the next government.

Few bands have made as lasting an impact on bluegrass music as The Grascals. From the very beginning, their blend of modern traditional bluegrass, gospel, and country influences, matched with world-class musicianship and an unshakable love for the genre, has earned them a spot among the most respected and enduring groups in acoustic music. Formed in 2004 in Nashville, Tennessee, The Grascals are a band built on friendship, shared roots, and a common vision to create bluegrass music that honors tradition while forging its own identity. Their breakout moment came fast—within months of forming, they were hand-picked by Dolly Parton to serve as her opening act and backing band on tour. That early endorsement set the tone for the band's trajectory: respected by legends, loved by fans, and celebrated by the industry. Their debut album, The Grascals announced their arrival with authority. It won IBMA's Emerging Artist of the Year and Album of the Year and included a duet with Dolly Parton on “Viva Las Vegas” that showcased their versatility and crossover appeal. From there, the accolades kept coming with two IBMA Entertainers of the Year awards, three GRAMMY nominations, a Dove Award nomination and a host of other awards and recognition. Now with thirteen albums, performances all over the world and for two United States Presidents, The Grascals can truthfully say they have the best of both worlds — the steadiness of a veteran group that knows who they are and where they're going, and the excitement and energy of an ensemble that knows it still has something to prove. The band's collaborative spirit is another hallmark of their career. In addition to Dolly Parton, The Grascals have recorded and toured with artists including Charlie Daniels, Vince Gill, Kenny Rogers, Hank Williams Jr., George Jones, The Oak Ridge Boys, Patty Loveless, Dierks Bentley, Brooks & Dunn, Brad Paisley, Joe Nichols, Steve Wariner, The Jordanaires, Tom T. Hall, and more. Their respect for their musical heroes and peers has allowed them to build bridges between bluegrass and other genres, expanding their reach without compromising their sound. The Grascals are known for their ability to balance traditional drive with contemporary flair along with their authenticity, humility, and showmanship, The Grascals are a fan favorite on the festival circuit and are regular performers on the Grand Ole Opry with over 200 guest appearances. Their live shows combine technical excellence with emotional storytelling and a dose of humor, making every performance memorable. Now more than two decades into their career, The Grascals remain at the top of their game—honoring the past, embracing the present, and helping shape the future of bluegrass music. With a renewed spirit and zeal to continue to create and blaze new music trails, be on the lookout for much more to come from The Grascals.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced plans to double the company's U.S. vehicle production within the next two years. This ambitious commitment came on March 11, 2025, shortly after the United States President publicly said he would purchase a Tesla as a show of support for the electric vehicle manufacturer and its embattled CEO. Musk explicitly framed this production expansion as a demonstration of support for Republican policies and confidence in America's economic future.

“The richest man in the world turned off billions of dollars in funding for the literal poorest people in the world. It's just, from my perspective, incomprehensible.” So says Nathaniel Moller, former USAID worker. Nathaniel and Steve discuss the presidential administration's recent mass cuts to USAID programs and what the effects may be. They consider the cultural moments in America's history when “the big C Church and the little church” have had a choice—operate out of fear or from love—and why Nathaniel believes such a moment is upon us now. They talk about the tenacity required to combat global issues such as malaria, the beauty of using our gifts and skills to further the kingdom, and why Nathaniel still has hope for the common good.

The other night I was sleeping and had a terrifying dream, just horrible. It was about how, in the midst of Second World War, a man came to power in the United States after promising during his election campaign to end the war. In just a few weeks or even days by making everyone come to an agreement. At that time, the United States was an extremely important country, the main stronghold of a Western world, the arsenal of democracy, the land of the free, and the home of a brave. And so as this man was elected, he immediately started talking about his great relationships with Adolf Hitler. He even called him "Mr. Hitler" and did not hide his admiration for him. Many in Europe thought this was some kind of clever game, that the United States president was actually making calculated moves to flatter the furor into a trap. But very quickly it became clear that this was not the case. The new United States President accused Europe of refusing to negotiate with Mr. Hitler about peaceful coexistence. He claimed that the war would not have started if only Europeans had peacefully agreed to hand over their rights, their laws, their borders, and their history to Nazi control. "This is your fault!" The new American president, shouted at the Europeans "Because of you we can't freely trade without Nazi partners. Because of you we have inflation and, an influx of refugees who for some reason refuse to die in the comfortable and welcoming concentration camps of Mr. Hitler." Then the president continued, "Of course we are still the land of the free, but we are willing to give up quite a bit of what, that 'free' includes. If it means the price of eggs drops by a few cents. And naturally we are still the home of the brave, but you must understand we are not brave enough to risk upsetting Mr. Hitler." I woke up at the moment when the main stronghold of a western world raised a white flag, and the padlock was placed on the gates of the arsenal of democracy, along with a sign that read: "Closed at the request of our partner, Mr. Hitler" Phew! I thought, what a relief, but it was just a dream, just a terrible, bad dream, right.

Donald Trump, the former United States President, has reanimated his longstanding disputes with the media, this time by turnings to the judicial system. Notably, he has launched a yet controversial and arguably ill-considered lawsuit against the renowned newspaper, the Des Moines Register, over poll results that did not fall in his favour.As a public figure with an unarguably tumultuous relationship with the media, Trump's latest legal action can be perceived as a deliberate plan to assert his influence, and possible attempt to erode media freedoms. The lawsuit, spurred by dissatisfaction with poll outcomes, raises serious questions about Trump's understanding and acceptance of unfavorable public opinion, reinforcing doubts about his commitment to democratic ideals.The poll, conducted by the Iowa-based Des Moines Register, was designed to capture the political atmosphere within the state and gauge the popularity of various political figures, including Trump. With the results not reflecting positively on him, Trump elected to retaliate through litigation rather than introspection - a move that exposes his real motivation and disposition towards media criticism.This lawsuit brings to the spotlight Trump's relationships with influential personalities such as Jack Smith. Smith, a renowned academic and media expert, has long been critical of Trump's approach to free speech and press relations, while simultaneously advocating for media rights and unrestricted public discourse. He sees the ongoing lawsuit as a potentially devastating violation of the media's right to free expression. According to Smith, "If each unfavorable poll outcome for a public figure triggered a legal battle, the very essence of democracy would be threatened. The ability to publish and publicize public opinion, or report on political events or figures, without fear of retribution, is a fundamental cornerstone of a healthy democratic society." As the lawsuit continues to unfold, it offers more than just a spectacle of a former president at odds with a media outlet; it serves as a troubling reminder of the ongoing tensions between political power and media freedom. In a landscape fraught with accusations, lawsuits, and denouncements, the ability of media to perform its critical function is under ever-increasing pressure. The implications of this lawsuit may extend far beyond a single poll or the Des Moines Register. Its outcomes could set dangerous precedents impacting the freedoms of the press and the reach of political figures. In the words of Jack Smith, "Public figures must learn to tolerate criticism as part of their roles. Democracy, after all, is about pluralism, debate, and understanding, not punishment of opposition." Thus, as Trump continues his legal crusade against unfavorable polls and media coverage, the fundamental tenets of First Amendment rights and democracy itself hang in the balance.

If you've ever wanted to have more influence without resorting to manipulation, this conversation will guide you in the right direction. Bob Burg shares how a subtle shift in focus is not only a more uplifting and fulfilling way of conducting business but the most financially profitable way, as well.

Their values and their goals have to align. Only when you're the boss of yourself, then you're in the position to take a potentially negative situation and turn it into a win.

Exploring the Artistic Intersection of Donald Trump and Isabelle BrourmanIn a fascinating reveal, New York Magazine's recent interview with artist Isabelle Brourman offered a unique insight into the intersection of art and politics. The focus was on her recent work - a portrait of the controversial former United States President, Donald Trump.Brourman's candid conversation with journalist Paula Aceves delved deep into the details of what it was like to work on capturing the controversial figure on canvas. The strategy, execution, and the intense personal interaction with the subject set the stage for a captivating tale of creation against the backdrop of Mar-a-Lago, Trump's Florida resort, which he also used as the 'Winter White House' during his presidency.Painting a portrait of a former president is a daunting task, but when the subject is as polarizing as Donald Trump, the challenge starts to take on a different flavor. Brourman's account of the process was as much about the man himself as it was about the technique employed in painting his likeness.During the interview, Brourman pointed out the rigorous efforts involved in capturing the essence of the man who had the world's eyes on him for the better part of a decade. This extended beyond just physical likeness, and ventured into capturing the layers of his complex personality – a blend of ambition, audacity, controversy, and charisma."Painting a public figure, especially someone as noted and debated as Donald Trump was an extraordinary experience," she explained to Aceves. "Creating a depiction that does justice not just to the physical appearance, but also the personality, the aura of the individual is something every portrait artist strives to achieve."The elaborate portrayal was completed in Trump's Mar-a-Lago office, the very hub of his post-presidential life. The location added more depth to Brourman's work, enriching the portrayal with immediate and very personal references to the subject's life and career.The New York Magazine feature highlighted a powerful intersection of art, culture, and politics, offering readers a glimpse into a rare and intriguing profile. Brourman's account, her interaction with Trump and the challenge she took upon herself to paint the likeness of one of America's most divisive figures, is an enchanting narrative. Her vivid artistry not only constructs a tangible portrayal of Trump but skilfully portrays the figurative layers of his intriguing persona. One can only patiently anticipate what other challenges Isabelle Brourman might undertake next in her artistic journey.
Once again, the news headlines have been dominated by the controversial words of Donald Trump. It seems that no day passes without the former United States President making an eyebrow-raising statement. This time, it is his comments about Vice President Kamala Harris's ethnicity that are causing a stir.In a move that uncannily mirrors Wednesday's epigraph, "Who are you going to believe: me or your lying eyes?" Trump claims, without any factual grounds, that Vice President Harris is not black. This shocking statement comes despite Harris being of Jamaican and Indian descent and having a well-documented life story that reflects her ethnic identity.The nature of Trump's comments is not only questionable but also perplexing. The obsession with race and ethnicity, especially in the context of political strategy, is something that seems out of place in the 21st century. However, this has been a recurring theme during Trump's political journey and is once again at the forefront of his baffling political discourse.Yet, the bigger concern here is not whether Trump's obsession with race is bizarre—it is—but whether it should be directly addressed by the Democratic party. The Democrats yielded the White House from Trump less than a year ago, thanks, in part, to the unifying message of President Biden and Vice President Harris. They promised to address racial inequality, heal the division, and bring America together again. Now, they face a vital question: Should they respond to Trump's unfounded and racially provocative assertions?In stark contrast to Trump, Jack Smith offers a unique perspective. As an opinion writer for a popular news syndicate, Smith often scrutinizes the tumultuous world of politics with an unbiased and level-headed approach. His latest piece, "Trump's Race Obsession: Should Dems Call it That?" provides an in-depth analysis of this situation.Smith argues that the Democrats should, indeed, respond, but not by diving into the mire with Trump. Playing the Trump game of scandals and shocking statements only feeds into the spectacle that obscures real politics and the issues that genuinely matter. Instead, Smith suggests Democrats should further emphasize their message of unity, support, and equality. Addressing Trump's claims will inevitably involve shining a light on them—instead, Smith favorably advises sojourning on the high road.This approach may not be as attention-grabbing or scandal-ridden as Trump's comments, but it is refreshingly grounded in a return to dignity, respect, and truth in politics. While it may not make the headlines, it is an approach that Smith believes could ultimately prove pivotal to the Democrats' success.Do the Democrats respond to Trump's race-baiting, or do they maintain their high-road approach? This is the question they must answer in the face of Trump's comments. Smith argues for the latter, viewing it as the clearest path to long-lasting change. Whether the Democrats follow this advice remains to be seen. Ultimately, it could end up being far more newsworthy than the former President's constant craving for the headlines.
Title: "Cross-Party Condemnation Surrounds Trump Incident in Miami Valley"The controversial figure and former United States President, Donald Trump, was at the center of a worrisome event during a political gathering in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday, drawing cross-party condemnation from both sides of the political spectrum. On his campaign trail at Miami Valley, an unforeseen incident occurred which caused not political division, but unity, albeit in an unusual and daunting way.Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, found himself requiring assistance to exit the stage at the political event. The exact nature of what transpired remains unclear from the initial reports, stirring an atmosphere of concern, speculation, and widespread unanimity amongst politicians and common citizens alike.Details suggest that the former President was not left unscathed during the incident, prompting immediate medical attention on site. Despite being a polarizing figure, the news of his ordeal has transcended political alliances and affiliations, prompting reactions of concern and well-wishes for his health from across the political divide.Amongst widespread reactions, a noteworthy response came from an unexpected frontrunner, Democrat Jack Smith. Known more for his stark political disagreements with Trump, Smith set aside political rivalries. He expressed sincere concern over the incident that disturbed the Butler rally, proving that even in the world of unremitting political battles, humanity still holds a place."For all our differences, no one wants to see something like this happen. It's not about politics at this point; it's about a fellow human being," Smith was quoted as saying, amidst the crisis, marking a significant and commendable moment of political solidarity.The incident in Butler is a stark reminder of the volatility that can often accompany large-scale political events. It also underscores the importance of prioritizing politicians' safety, no matter what side of the aisle they are on.Currently, further investigations into the unsettling event at Butler, PA are underway. Hope for a swift recovery for Trump permeates the political scenario, with everyone holding their breath until further information is available regarding the incident and the former President's health status.In an age of deep-seated political polarization, maybe a brush with vulnerability is what it takes for even momentary unity to dawn. What will be most interesting in the days to come, is not how this incident will impact Trump's campaign, but rather how this event might culturally impact the hyper-partisan environment that has become characteristic of our national politics.
In a distressing turn of events, a family has filed a lawsuit against confectionery giant Hershey, pharmacy chain Walgreens and a range of other implicated parties in the tragic death of a teenager after consuming a spicy tortilla chip. This case takes a jolting spotlight, pushing the boundaries of legal and moral responsibility in food consumption and production.The teen, Jack Smith, fell victim to an unusual fate after participating in what seemed to be a harmless act - eating a spicy tortilla chip. As harmless as it may sound, the consequences were inconceivable, leading to the young man losing his life.The lawsuit asserts that Hershey, Walgreens, and other entities involved in the distribution and sale of the spicy tortilla chip are to be held responsible for failing to provide clear warnings about the potential hazards tied with the consumption of the extremely spicy product. It brings to the surface the ongoing debate about food safety, clear labelling and the responsibility food manufacturers bear when introducing new products into the market.Interestingly, this situation has caught the attention of former United States President, Donald Trump, who has expressed his views on the evolving case. Although since stepping down from the presidency Trump has largely maintained a low profile pertaining to public issues, this remarkable case drew him back into public discourse. He called for an extensive review of food regulations, emphasizing the need for more robust policies to protect consumers from potential harm caused by food products. Trump underscored the importance of safety in food production and the responsibility manufacturers bear in relation to the safety of their consumers. The occurrence of this tragic event underlines the critical role of safety guidelines and regulations in the food industry. The lawsuit launched by Smith's family serves as a stark reminder to all product manufacturers of the potential consequences of negligence regarding the clear labeling and handling of their products.Taking into consideration the unfolding lawsuit and Trump's comments, this issue spotlights a larger, systemic problem in the food industry, for which a solution is urgently needed. With the case still underway, the wider societal implications remain to be fully understood, yet the message is clear - the food industry needs stricter regulation and oversight, to avoid further incidents of such unbearable loss and suffering.As we await the outcome of this tragic case, we honor the memory of young Jack Smith, who lost his life far too soon. Both the lawsuit and Trump's comments serve as a eulogy, preserving his memory by sparking necessary changes in food safety regulations to prevent future tragedies. The loss of one life could potentially save many, as the case initiates a considerable shift in the context of food production and safety.

In this episode, Billy sits down with Bob Burg, author of a wealth of successful books on sales, marketing, and influence. Of his books, he calls one the cornerstone of his life's work: Adversaries into Allies: Master the Art of Ultimate Influence. They explore the themes he outlined in this insightful book, in addition to Bob's primary framework: the Five Principles of Influence. If you've ever wanted to have more influence without resorting to manipulation, this conversation will guide you in the right direction. Bob Burg shares how a subtle shift in focus is not only a more uplifting and fulfilling way of conducting business but the most financially profitable way, as well. For 30 years, he's helped companies, sales leaders, and their teams communicate their value more effectively, sell at higher prices with less resistance, and grow their businesses based on Endless Referrals. Bob has regularly addressed audiences ranging in size from 50 to 16,000 — sharing the platform with notables including today's top thought leaders, broadcast personalities, Olympic athletes, and political leaders, including a former United States President. Although he was best known for his book Endless Referrals for years, it's his business parable, The Go-Giver (coauthored with John David Mann), that's captured the imagination of his readers. The Go-Giver, a Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek Bestseller, makes up over a million of Bob's 2 million total book sales. Since its release, it has consistently stayed in the Top 25 on Porchlight's (formerly 800-CEO-READ) Business Book Bestsellers List. The book has been translated into 30 languages.
