Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. US President Donald Trump announced overnight Wednesday that Israel and Hamas have signed off on the “first phase” of his plan to secure the release of all hostages and end the Gaza war, two years and a day after the fighting was sparked by Hamas’s October 7, 2023, massacre of 1,200 in southern Israel, with another 250 taken hostage to Gaza. Speculation had mounted that an announcement was imminent after photographers managed to snap photos of a note that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio passed to Trump during a White House meeting. Trump later took to his Truth Social platform, saying, “This means that ALL of the hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw [its] troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a strong, durable and everlasting Peace.” Trump’s announcement of the agreement set off a flood of emotion early Thursday morning among freed captives and families and Israelis gathered at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, where mass weekly rallies have been held to call for the hostages’ return, cheering the news and chanting, “Nobel Prize to Trump.” In Gaza as well, residents cheered the news of the deal even as the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson Avichay Adraee cautioned that the area north of Wadi Gaza — the northern part of the Strip — is still defined as a combat zone. Magid takes us through what we know of the pressures that pushed all sides to sign onto the deal and what obstacles remain. We hear about the probable timeline for the release of the hostages -- and a victory-lap visit by Trump to the region next week. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Future progress on major China-US agenda items such as bilateral trade and TikTok operations in the United States depends on whether Washington will faithfully follow through on what it has promised during the latest China-US heads-of-state phone conversation, observers said.观察人士表示，中美在双边贸易、TikTok美国业务等重大议题上能否取得进展，取决于美方是否会切实履行在最新一轮中美元首通话中所作出的承诺。They made the remarks after President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump held their third phone talks this year on Friday evening. The first call was made in January and the second in June.此前，中国国家主席习近平与美国总统唐纳德・特朗普于周五晚间进行了今年以来的第三次通话（前两次分别在1月和6月），观察人士随后作出了上述表态。Analysts described the talks as constructive, as both leaders highlighted the global implications of the two-way ties between the world's two largest economies.分析人士认为，此次通话具有建设性意义。作为全球前两大经济体，中美两国领导人均强调了双边关系对全球的重要影响。Xi said the two nations "are fully capable of helping each other succeed and prospering together", and Trump said the two countries working together can get many great things done that are good for world peace and stability.习近平主席指出，中美“完全有能力相互成就、共同繁荣”；特朗普则表示，中美携手合作，能够为世界和平与稳定办成许多大事。The two leaders also endorsed the recent consultation between Chinese and US officials on the economy and trade, and expressed hopes for commercial negotiations regarding TikTok operations in the US.两国领导人还对近期中美官员在经贸领域的磋商予以肯定，并表达了对TikTok美国业务相关商业谈判的期待。Annual bilateral trade between the two sides exceeded $680 billion last year. China is now the US' second-largest source of imports and third-largest market for its exports, according to the Chinese embassy in the US.中国驻美大使馆数据显示，去年中美双边贸易额超过6800亿美元。目前，中国是美国第二大进口来源国和第三大出口市场。Wu Xinbo, dean of Fudan University's Institute of International Studies, said that Beijing has long urged Washington to stop suppressing China's technology-driven sectors, and the US has its own demands as well.复旦大学国际问题研究院院长吴心伯表示，长期以来，中方一直敦促美方停止打压中国科技产业，而美方也有自身诉求。"The heads-of-state talks — either on the phone or face to face — could help both sides arrive at more agreements and stabilize their economic ties," he said.他指出：“无论是电话通话还是面对面会晤，元首外交有助于双方达成更多共识，稳定经贸关系。”"The Friday talks set the tone for the next step in developing the ties: advancing talks on the economy and trade while working together to keep the ties afloat. The expected result is to veer the relationship away from the drastic ups and downs that took place earlier this year," he said.“周五的通话为中美关系下一步发展定下基调：在推进经贸谈判的同时，共同努力维护两国关系稳定。预期目标是避免双边关系再次出现今年初那样的剧烈波动。”Su Xiaohui, deputy director of the Department of American Studies at the China Institute of International Studies, said the latest conversation was "pragmatic and constructive", and Beijing's position on the TikTok case "reflects China's lasting efforts to secure its rightful interests and growth in the long term".中国国际问题研究院美国研究所副所长苏晓晖认为，此次通话“务实且具有建设性”，中方在TikTok问题上的立场“体现了中国为维护自身合法利益、实现长远发展所作出的持续努力”。"Through the talks, China has made clear that it supports Chinese companies' adding investment in the US, which the US side has aimed for, while Washington should shape an inviting climate for investors, make the play fair, and achieve a win-win situation, rather than forcing a deal or blackmailing," she said.她表示：“通过此次通话，中方明确表示支持中国企业加大对美投资——这也是美方所期望的；同时，美方应营造具有吸引力的投资环境，秉持公平原则，实现互利共赢，而非强迫交易或实施胁迫。”Over the past two weeks, the world has seen several high-level dialogues take place between China and the US in various areas, such as the latest round of China-US economic and trade talks in Madrid, Spain, a phone talk between Foreign Minister Wang Yi and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and a video call between Minister of National Defense Dong Jun and US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.过去两周，中美在多个领域开展了多场高层对话：例如在西班牙马德里举行的新一轮中美经贸谈判、中国外交部长王毅与美国国务卿马尔科・卢比奥的电话会谈，以及中国国防部长董军与美国国防部长皮特・赫格塞斯的视频通话。On Sunday, Premier Li Qiang met a visiting delegation of US lawmakers, led by Representative Adam Smith, a Democrat from the US state of Washington, in Beijing. Li said China is willing to work with the US to address each other's concerns through communication in the spirit of equality, respect and mutual benefit.周日，中国国务院总理李强在北京会见了由美国华盛顿州民主党众议员亚当・史密斯率领的访华美国议员代表团。李强表示，中方愿与美方秉持平等、尊重、互利原则，通过沟通解决彼此关切。Li said that China and the US should be partners for joint development, treat each other sincerely, empower each other and achieve mutual success, adding that Washington should meet Beijing halfway and jointly advance the ties on the right track.李强指出，中美应成为共同发展的伙伴，以诚相待、相互赋能、彼此成就；美方应与中方相向而行，共同推动中美关系回到正确轨道。Li also said the phone conversations between Xi and Trump this year reinforced bilateral dialogue and cooperation and provided strategic guidance for the China-US ties' development in the next phase.李强还表示，今年以来习近平主席与特朗普总统的几次通话，加强了双边对话与合作，为下一阶段中美关系发展提供了战略指引。Sourabh Gupta, a senior fellow at the Institute for China-America Studies, said the phone call on Friday "represents a further easing of the strain in bilateral ties" caused by Washington's imposition of unilateral tariffs during the first four months of this year.中美研究中心高级研究员苏拉布・古普塔表示，周五的通话“意味着今年前四个月因美方加征单边关税而紧张的双边关系得到进一步缓和”。"China has conveyed its receptivity to a large market purchase package. … America needs to come to the table with its quid pro quo," he said.他指出：“中方已表达出对大规模采购方案的接纳意愿……美方则需带着对等的诚意坐到谈判桌前。”Diao Daming, a professor of US studies at Renmin University of China's School of International Relations, said the conversation on Friday "confirms the validity of China-US joint efforts in stabilizing their ties through communication, and projects good faith in managing and controlling factors that may destabilize the ties".中国人民大学国际关系学院美国研究教授刁大明表示，周五的通话“印证了中美通过沟通稳定双边关系的努力是有效的，也体现了双方管控潜在不稳定因素的诚意”。On Friday, Xi told Trump that the Chinese people "will never forget the valuable support provided by the United States and other anti-fascist allies "during World War II, and Trump said that China's recent Victory Day parade was phenomenal and beautiful.周五通话中，习近平主席对特朗普表示，中国人民“永远不会忘记二战时期美国及其他反法西斯盟国给予的宝贵支持”；特朗普则称，中国近期举行的胜利日阅兵“令人印象深刻、十分精彩”。Li Haidong, a professor of US studies at China Foreign Affairs University, said, "Xi conveyed China's willingness to cherish peace and usher in the future, emphasized to the US side the importance of shaping a proper view of history, and reminded both countries of their responsibilities as major countries."中国外交学院美国研究教授李海东表示：“习近平主席传递了中国珍惜和平、开创未来的意愿，向美方强调了树立正确历史观的重要性，并提醒两国铭记大国责任。”bilateraladj.双边的；双方的/ˌbaɪˈlætərəl/suppressv.压制；打压；/səˈpres/翻译：压制；打压；抑制quid pro quon.等价交换；互利互惠/ˌkwɪd prə ˈkwəʊ/

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. India–US: From Punches to Handshakes Tariffs up, visas priced at $100K, and sharp words over Russian oil — yet, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and India's S Jaishankar met in New York calling each other “critical partners.” It's not routine diplomacy, it's damage control. Behind the public sparring, Modi and Trump quietly announced a reset: trade talks are back, with Piyush Goyal already in the US pushing a bilateral deal. Sometimes the loudest fights happen right before breakthroughs. #IndiaUS #TradeTalks #Diplomacy Space: The New Battlefield An Indian satellite found itself shadowed just 1 km away by a foreign craft, sparking fears of space warfare. India is now building “bodyguard satellites” to shield its 100+ fleet from threats, while China boasts over 930. With $3B earmarked for surveillance satellites, New Delhi is gearing up for an orbital arms race. #SpaceSecurity #ISRO #China UK vs US: Talent Tug of War Trump's $100K H-1B visa bomb could drive Indian talent out of Silicon Valley. Britain smells opportunity — Keir Starmer plans zero visa fees for scientists and engineers. With 70% of H-1B visas historically going to Indians, London could turn into the new magnet for global talent. #GlobalTalent #UKImmigration #H1B Macron's Bold Move France formally recognized Palestinian statehood at the UN, joining a growing chorus for a two-state solution. Nearly 65,000 Palestinians have died in Gaza since 2022, yet Israel and the US reject recognition. Macron insists it's not about politics anymore, it's about lives. #Palestine #France #Peace Trump's Visa Twist: Doctors Spared After the $100K visa fee shocked tech workers, the White House clarified exemptions for physicians and medical residents. With 76 million Americans in doctor shortage areas, Trump's move risked crippling healthcare — especially in rural strongholds. Exemptions are a lifeline for hospitals. #H1B #Healthcare #Trump Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Last Week, the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunisation Practices met to review childhood vaccination recommendations in the US. The committee, whose members were appointed by anti-vaccination US Secretary of Health Robert F Kennedy Jr, have voted on a variety of recommendations for child vaccinations and restrictions of vaccinations from COVID-19 to Measles and Mumps immunisations.  This move has been met with concern, both over the implications for the health and wellbeing of children and the public, and what it means for one of the most prominent countries and advisory bodies to make such a move. In particular, the move itself was rife with confusion, with the advisory committee being ill-equipped to review the recommendations. Monday Wire Producer Alex spoke to Associate Professor at the University of Auckland, Helen Petousis-Harris, about the confused and muddled recommendations, what they mean for public health, and what this says about the state of vaccine regulation.

Two IDF divisions, made up of tens of thousands of troops, began expanded ground operations in Gaza City overnight as the army launches a “new stage” of its offensive against Hamas. The early stages of the offensive, dubbed “Gideon’s Chariots B” began several weeks ago with increased strikes on Hamas targets, including high-rise towers, and ground operations on the outskirts of Gaza City and in several neighborhoods in the west of the city. We learn what is happening on the ground in Gaza City so far and the responses from the families of the 48 Israeli hostages held in the Strip, 20 of whom are presumed alive. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, while en route to Doha from Tel Aviv, announced that Qatar and the United States are on the verge of finalizing an enhanced defense cooperation agreement, after Israel’s attack targeting Hamas leaders in Qatar last week drew widespread condemnation. He also called for Qatar to continue its role as a mediator between Israel and Hamas to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza war. Goren discusses what we're hearing from the Trump White House and how Israel could be connected to this finalized defense agreement. In a speech yesterday evening, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel is facing increasing isolation on the world stage and will have to become more self-reliant in the years to come. He said, “We will increasingly need to adapt to an economy with autarkic characteristics,” he said, using the term for economic self-sufficiency. Describing the ongoing war and its effects, he said, “We are Athens and Sparta. But we’re going to be Athens and super-Sparta,” he said. “There’s no choice; in the coming years, at least, we will have to deal with these attempts to isolate us.” Goren gives context and weighs in.

Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, says he doesn't rule out further strikes on Hamas leaders "wherever they are," despite being criticised for launching an attack on Qatari territory last week. Israel's decision to target senior Hamas leaders in Qatar - a close US ally - drew international outrage and criticism, even from US President Donald Trump. Mr Netanyahu was speaking after meeting the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who blamed Hamas and urged Qatar to continue to play a constructive role on Gaza.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in Israel and at recording time has just finished his meeting in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Jerusalem office. On Friday, Trump and special envoy Steve Witkoff had dinner with the Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani in New York, after al-Thani held a four-hour-long meeting with Vice President JD Vance and Rubio at the White House. We learn what Rubio has so far said during his meetings in Israel about Israel's strike on Hamas leaders in US-ally Qatar last week. We also speak about the stated agenda for Rubio's visit to participate in the opening of the Pilgrims' Path excavated tunnel that leads from east Jerusalem's City of David to the Temple Mount plaza. Qatar is still fuming over last week's attack on its soil. Qatar’s prime minister accused Israel of “state terrorism,” and said its attack in Doha last week targeting Hamas’s leaders was “an attack on the principle of mediation itself,” but nevertheless vowed to continue efforts to reach a ceasefire. Berman explains why the country will continue to serve as a mediator, even as it may attempt to stir trouble for Israel in other realms. Israel is building two new aid distribution sites, which, according to the military, will be handed over to the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in the coming days. The IDF invited journalists to visit the sites on Wednesday before they become operational. Berman was there and reports back on what he saw, and how the war may look moving forward.

To cooperate or to confront, this is the question for China-US relations.合作还是对抗，这是中美关系的问题。An article jointly written by Kurt Campbell, former deputy secretary of state in the previous US administration, and Rush Doshi, former deputy senior director for China affairs on the National Security Council, published in The New York Times on the weekend, calls for the current administration to confront China by maximizing the United States' own strength through its alliances.上周末，美国前副国务卿库尔特·坎贝尔（Kurt Campbell）和国家安全委员会前中国事务副高级主任拉什·多西（Rush Doshi）在《纽约时报》上联合发表了一篇文章，呼吁现任政府通过联盟最大化美国自身实力来对抗中国。Only through partnerships can the US protect its shared industrial bases, technological edge and the ability to deter China, they argue. Claiming that it is not too late for the administration to build allied scale, despite the coercive approach it has adopted, they call for the administration to redirect its leverage toward the goal of balancing China's "overwhelming capacity", which will otherwise leave the US diminished and more isolated.他们认为，只有通过伙伴关系，美国才能保护其共同的工业基础、技术优势和威慑中国的能力。他们声称，尽管政府采取了强制措施，但建立联盟规模还不算太晚，他们呼吁政府将其影响力转向平衡中国“压倒性能力”的目标，否则美国将被削弱，更加孤立。It is not difficult to smell the stink of the Cold War mentality in the article. Both writers obviously consider China-US relations to be a matter of one power — the US — dominating the global order. They believe that the US must leverage its ties with its allies to counterbalance the rise of China. According to the authors, there is no third path — it is either the US or China that will dominate global affairs.在文章中不难闻到冷战思维的臭味。两位作者显然都认为中美关系是一个大国——美国——主导全球秩序的问题。他们认为，美国必须利用其与盟友的关系来制衡中国的崛起。根据作者的说法，没有第三条路——要么美国，要么中国将主导全球事务。But for China the situation is not simply an either-or scenario. In his telephone talk with US President Donald Trump on June 5, Chinese President Xi Jinping pointed out that recalibrating the direction of the giant ship of China-US relations requires the two leaders to set the right course. For that, he said, it is particularly important to steer clear of various disturbances and disruptions.但对中国来说，这种情况不仅仅是非此即彼。在6月5日与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的电话交谈中，习近平总书记指出，重新调整中美关系巨轮的方向，需要两国领导人找准方向。为此，他说，避开各种干扰和中断尤为重要。The path Campbell and Doshi urge the Trump administration to follow in handling China-US relations is undoubtedly a disturbance and disruption as it calls for the US and its allies to confront China.坎贝尔和多西敦促特朗普政府在处理中美关系时遵循的道路无疑是一种干扰和破坏，因为它呼吁美国及其盟友与中国对抗。The world is not what it was. The Cold War mentality that pervades the article does not apply in this increasingly multipolar world.世界已经不是过去的样子了。文章中弥漫的冷战思维不适用于这个日益多极化的世界。Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, after meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on July 11 in Kuala Lumpur, told the media that from the perspective of human evolution and development, the interests of China and the US converge in a wide range of areas and there is huge space for both countries to cooperate.中国外交部长王毅11日在吉隆坡会见美国国务卿卢比奥后对媒体表示，从人类进化和发展的角度来看，中美两国的利益在广泛领域交汇，合作空间巨大。As Wang said, China and the US have the responsibility and ability to find a path on which both countries can get along with each other in a desirable manner. This is in the interests of both peoples and what the entire world expects of the development of China-US bilateral relations.正如王所说，中国和美国有责任也有能力找到一条两国能够以令人满意的方式相处的道路。这符合两国人民的利益，也符合全世界对中美关系发展的期待。Although the writers claimed in their article that their aim was not to contain China, which they believe is impossible, they look at China-US relations through the lens of the Thucydides Trap, believing that it is impossible for the US and China to cooperate for the well-being of humanity.尽管作者在文章中声称他们的目的不是遏制中国，他们认为这是不可能的，但他们通过修昔底德陷阱的视角看待中美关系，认为美国和中国不可能为了人类的福祉而合作。It is more than necessary for those in Washington with such a mentality to consider carefully the four initiatives that China has proposed: the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative.华盛顿有这种心态的人非常有必要仔细考虑中国提出的四项倡议：全球发展倡议、全球安全倡议、全球文明倡议和全球治理倡议。The four initiatives seek to harvest the wisdom and strengths of all countries, both developed and developing ones, to address the deficits in global development, global security, civilization exchanges and global governance. From these four initiatives, it is not difficult to see that China does not pursue hegemony. Instead, it seeks a global synergy of resources to address the common challenges humanity is facing and desires the common development of all countries.这四项倡议旨在汇集发达国家和发展中国家的智慧和力量，以解决全球发展、全球安全、文明交流和全球治理方面的不足。从这四项举措中不难看出，中国并不追求霸权。相反，它寻求全球资源的协同作用，以应对人类面临的共同挑战，并希望所有国家共同发展。China is not trying to challenge the status of the US. Rather it seeks to cooperate as much as possible with the US to create a fairer and more just world order, which will better facilitate global development and world peace.中国并不试图挑战美国的地位，而是寻求与美国尽可能多地合作，建立一个更公平、更公正的世界秩序，这将更好地促进全球发展和世界和平。If those politicians in Washington who are afraid that the US may lose its hegemonic status with China's rise could be broad-minded enough to look at China as one of the major poles in a multipolar world and seek cooperation instead of confrontation with it, the world would be a much better place for all countries and peoples.如果华盛顿那些担心美国可能会随着中国的崛起而失去霸权地位的政客能够心胸开阔，将中国视为多极世界的主要极点之一，寻求合作而不是对抗，那么世界对所有国家和人民来说都会变得更好。Initiativen.倡议/ɪˈnɪʃ.ə.tɪv/confrontationn.对抗/ˌkɒn.frʌnˈteɪ.ʃən/

Some days I don't know whether to rage in fury, weep quietly, or just throw up.This, however, is definitely a throw-up day. That's because our US Secretary of State (a once-honorable position that advocated humanitarian values) has just decreed that war-torn Palestinian children from Gaza will be denied medical visas that would let them come here for life-saving surgeries. Yes, innocent children horribly maimed by the US bombs, bullets, and billions of our tax dollars that our government sends to prop up the corrupt Israeli regime of Netanyahu, have now had America's door slammed in their faces by Trump's nutball extremists.How extreme? Even bulldog right-winger Marjorie Taylor Greene is appalled that top USA officials have turned so cold as to reject common decency for “Palestinian kids who had their limbs and bodies blown apart.” But Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who reportedly once had a smidgeon of political integrity, immediately snapped to attention when someone named Laura Loomer – one of Trump's loopy “influencers” – proclaimed that these Palestinian medical seekers were “pro-Hamas.”Hello… they're children! To which the Loomer lady summoned this piece of ignorance from deep within her dark soul: “They are not that sick if they can sit on a plane for 22 hours to get to America.”Okay, she's just a doofus, but Rubio? He's a practicing Catholic, so he surely knows Jesus' biblical admonition: “Suffer the little children to come unto me.” Yet, he has officially banned them from the compassionate arms of the American people, darkly warning: “It's not just kids… a bunch of adults are accompanying them.”Yeah – their parents, guardians, good Samaritans. Gotta watch out for those types.To stay on top of everything happening to Gaza, and to find solid actions you can take to fight and end the genocide, we recommend following Linda Sarsour, a Palestinian-American organizer and strategist who was also a surrogate for Bernie Sanders during his 2016 campaign.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. During today’s day of disruption in the capital, protesters calling for a hostage deal have escalated their tactics, including torching bins in Jerusalem -- which police said damaged a car and caused nearby residents to be evacuated -- and gaining access to the roof of the National Library, near the Knesset, to hang banners. The activists are pushing for renewed ceasefire-hostage release negotiations this week ahead of the IDF's "Gideon's Chariots B" operation. Berman updates us on the communications between the mediation teams. The IDF said today that it is boosting operational and logistical preparedness for reservists called up for the military’s planned Gaza City offensive. Over the coming weeks, troops will participate in open-terrain and urban warfare exercises to strengthen readiness across the Gaza Strip. At the same time, yesterday, some 350 reservists signed a mass petition stating that they refused to rejoin the war. Berman speaks about the willingness of reservists to continue to fight and how the IDF is taking their needs into consideration. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio may visit Israel in two weeks, an Israeli official told Berman yesterday. We hear what may be on his agenda. Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot announced Tuesday that Belgium will recognize the State of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly later this month. Berman describes how the slew of countries may recognize the Palestinian state at the GA and how European countries are already clamping down on Israel. French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday decried the “unacceptable” US decision not to grant visas to Palestinian officials, including Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas ahead of the United Nations General Assembly later this month, when France is also set to recognize a Palestinian state. A day before the GA kicks off, France and Saudi Arabia are holding a conference in New York promoting a two-state solution on September 22. We hear what the goals are for this conference and speculate on whether the visa decision may be reversed. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Might the supposedly revolutionary future of AI healthcare actually be a return to the gig economics of Uber and Airbnb? That's the intriguing proposition put forward by former Kaiser Permanente Chief and Stanford Medical School professor Robert Pearl, a prescient observer of the future of his industry. According to Pearl, we may be returning to the digital future: freelance doctors, he predicts, will train people to use existing AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) for managing chronic conditions - essentially "Uberizing" medical AI guidance. The real question, of course, is whether this will cheer up both doctors and patients. Pearl isn't sure about either. But one thing he is certain about is that MAGA government isn't the answer to fixing America's healthcare future. Having been cautiously optimistic about RFK Jr six months ago, he now gives the US Secretary of Health and Human Services an “F” for his first six months in office. Maybe we should Uberize RFK Jr. It certainly couldn't make things worse. 1. Two Competing AI Healthcare ModelsPearl identifies two paths: expensive, FDA-regulated products from tech companies versus affordable, clinician-led training programs that teach patients to use existing AI tools like ChatGPT for chronic disease management—with the second potentially avoiding regulation entirely.2. AI Could Prevent 30-50% of Medical DeathsBy better managing chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes (which account for 70% of doctor visits and costs), AI could save $1.5 trillion and prevent massive numbers of deaths from heart disease, cancer, kidney failure, and strokes.3. The "Uberization" of Medical CareWith 40% of doctors already doing gig work, Pearl envisions freelance physicians training patients to use AI tools for continuous health monitoring—replacing the current system of infrequent office visits with real-time, at-home care management.4. Insurance Companies Will Welcome AI, Hospitals Will ResistInsurers will benefit from lower costs and reduced need for prior authorizations, while hospitals and drug companies will see fewer patients and medication sales—making them the primary opponents of AI healthcare adoption.5. Medical Education Faces Major DisruptionElite institutions like Stanford will focus on complex procedures (heart transplants, major cancers), while routine medical knowledge becomes commodified. Mid-level healthcare jobs will disappear, similar to what's happening in computer programming.Bonus Political Takeaway: Pearl gives RFK Jr. an "F" for his first six months, saying he's capitulated to the agricultural industry instead of tackling the root causes of chronic disease through nutrition policy.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

US Health Secretary RFK Jr's call to retract a study on childhood vaccines is resisted by the journal. Also antibiotics get designed by AI, and a new way for stars to die. A study focussing on Danish childhood vaccination data has attracted the US Secretary for Health's anger, as RFK jr calls for the journal in which it was published, the Annals of Internal Medicine, to retract it. The Editor, Christine Laine, talk to Science in Action about the strengths and challenges of observational studies. The cuts to prestigious US federal science funded research continue, as last week it was announced that $500 million funding for future mRNA vaccines would be withdrawn. Barney Graham, one of the pioneers in the field and prominent during the Covid vaccines, argues that the research will still happen, though maybe not in the US, as mRNA has become a fundamental area of global research. Meanwhile, strides are being made in the field of synthetic biology as Jim Collins and colleagues at MIT and Harvard have used AI to design potentially viable antibiotics for two important drug-resistant superbugs. Previously, AI has been used to comb through libraries of known antibiotics. This study has gone a step further, and used generative AI to design new ones, that can then be synthesised using real chemicals. Though a long way from being prescribable drugs, the team think this could herald a new golden age of antibiotic development – something which has been lacking in recent decades. Finally, it seems astronomers may have discovered a new way for a star to die, sort of. Supernova 2023zkd was seen to explode back in 2023, found by a team looking for odd events. It didn't seem quite like normal supernovae, in that it took a bit longer to die down. Then the team looked back, and noticed that it had also been getting slowly brighter for almost a year. At 730 million light years away, in a galaxy far, far away, it also seemed to have been stripped of all its hydrogen and even stranger yet, appeared to have exploded twice. As Ashley Villar of the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics explains, the almost unique observation fits with a model of the huge star getting closer to a black hole, the gravity of which may have disrupted the star enough to cause it to explode.

Recently, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio imposed sanctions on the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, saying, “The United States has repeatedly condemned and objected to biased and malicious activities of Albanese that have long made her unfit for service as a Special Rapporteur.”  Today we are joined by three of Albanese's predecessors—John Dugard, Richard Falk, and Michael Lynk, who talk about what these sanctions mean. They trace the United States' and Israel's longstanding attacks on not only Special Rapporteurs on Palestine, but the very claims to Palestinian rights. This latest instance is a particularly egregious attack on the UN and international law. We end with a plea to the international community to come to the aid of the Palestinian people, who are suffering famine, disease, and warfare of immense proportions.John Dugard SC, Emeritus Professor of Law, Universities of the Witwatersrand and Leiden; Member of Institut de Droit International; ; Director of Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, Cambridge (1995-1997); Judge ad hoc  International Court of Justice (2000-2018); Member of UN International Law Commission (1997 -2011); UN Special Rapporteur on Situation of Human Rights in Occupied Palestinian Territory (2001-2008); Legal Counsel, South Africa v Israel (Genocide Convention).Richard Falk is Albert G. Milbank Professor Emeritus of International Law at Princeton University (1961-2001) and Chair of Global Law, Faculty of Law, Queen Mary University London. Since 2002 has been a Research Fellow at the Orfalea Center of Global and International Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Between 2008 and 2014 he served as UN Special Rapporteur on Israeli Violations of Human Rights in Occupied Palestine.Falk has advocated and written widely about ‘nations' that are captive within existing states, including Palestine, Kashmir, Western Sahara, Catalonia, Dombas.Falk has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize several times since 2008.Michael Lynk was a member of the Faculty of Law, Western University, London, Ontario, Canada between 1999 and his retirement in 2022. He taught courses in labour, human rights, disability, constitutional and administrative law. He served as Associate Dean of the Faculty between 2008-11. He became Professor Emeritus in 2023.In March 2016, the United Nations Human Rights Council unanimously selected Professor Lynk for a six-year term as the 7th Special Rapporteur for the human rights situation in the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967. He completed his term in April 2022.He has written about his UN experiences in a 2022 book co-authored with Richard Falk and John Dugard, two of his predecessors as UN special rapporteurs: Protecting Human Rights in Occupied Palestine: Working Through the United Nations (Clarity Press).Professor Lynk's academic scholarship and his United Nations reports have been cited by the Supreme Court of Canada, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and the United Nations General Assembly.  

What to expect from this week's Putin–Trump summit in Alaska? Hoover Institution Director and former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice—no stranger, she, to engaging in statecraft with Russia's enigmatic president—joins GoodFellows regulars Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane, and H.R. McMaster for a spirited conversation about Vladimir Putin's motives (is the summit only for domestic Russian consumption?), how to characterize the present US-Sino competition (Secretary Rice tossing cold water on “Cold War 2”), plus the sensibility of the Trump administration's threats to withhold federal research funds from leading universities in order to change campus cultures. Following that, Sir Niall recounts his recent sit-down with Argentinian president Javier Milei (is that nation's “vibe shift” real or contrived?); and tariff-agnostic John Cochrane assesses the progress of the Trump administration's ever-evolving trade strategy. Finally, the three panelists discuss the recent 80th anniversary of the only wartime use of atomic weapons and the importance of its annual remembrance.

A plan for a full Israeli military takeover of Gaza is reportedly being pushed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but opposed by the IDF chief of staff, who called the decision a trap for his forces and a possible death sentence for hostages. As photos of widespread hunger in Gaza continue to spark international backlash, a growing number of Israelis are taking to the streets and speaking out. Emmanuelle Elbaz-Phelps is a French-Israeli journalist and she joins Christiane from Tel Aviv.  Also on today's show: director James Cameron & former US Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz; Jennifer Peyton, former immigration judges George Pappas & Jennifer Peyton  Learn more about your ad choices.
