This episode with Rachel Minyoung Lee examines the evolving risk landscape surrounding North Korea, moving beyond headlines focused solely on nuclear escalation to explore the country's broader strategic behaviour. We discuss how Pyongyang balances military signalling with pragmatic decision making, why weapons tests and military exercises are often calibrated rather than impulsive, and how sanctions, limited trade, and economic constraints shape the regime's choices. The conversation also explores the role of domestic stability, regime survival, and external pressure in shaping North Korea's actions, and why the timing of diplomatic or military moves is often driven by opportunity rather than ideology alone. Together, we consider what the North Korean case reveals about risk perception, strategic signalling, and the limits of international pressure in managing one of the world's most opaque security challenges.Rachel Minyoung Lee is a Senior Fellow with the Stimson Center's Korea Program and 38 North, and co-chair of the North Korea Economic Forum at George Washington University's Institute for Korean Studies. She previously served for two decades as a North Korea collection expert and analyst with the United States government's Open Source Enterprise, where she specialised in analysing North Korean media and leadership messaging. She later led engagement initiatives at the Open Nuclear Network in Vienna and served as a Visiting Fellow at the East-West Center in Hawaii.

THE 1,400-YEAR WAR: Raymond Ibrahim on the Real History of Islam Is the "History of Islam" being systematically sanitized in Western schools? In this explosive episode, world-renowned historian and former U.S. Library of Congress scholar Raymond Ibrahim joins the show to dismantle the "grievance narrative" of Jihad. While the West is told that modern violence is a response to recent foreign policy, Ibrahim uses his fluency in Arabic to reveal ancient texts that prove a 1,400-year continuity of conquest. We dive deep into the Persecution of Christians, both historical and modern, and how the 7th-century Arab conquests "swallowed" three-quarters of the original Christian world. Ibrahim exposes the doctrine of Taqiyya (strategic deception), the Sword Verse that commands the subjugation of "People of the Book," and the legal reality of Dhimmitude. From the "Double-Speak" of Al-Qaeda to the Creeping Sharia and the Fall of Europe, this conversation reveals why the West is currently losing a civilizational war it refuses to admit is happening. We specifically discuss the takeover of the West through institutional infiltration, highlighting the surreal reality of New York officials like Zohran Mamdani transforming New York.

The Bible's Society's report The Quiet Revival, published last year, said that the Church in England and Wales was in a “period of rapid growth, driven by young adults and in particular young men”, and the trend of decline had been reversed (News, 11 April 2025). But is the Church of England experiencing a share of this revival? Some have expressed concern that the Church will “miss out” on the opportunity presented. At the end of January, the Church Times hosted an event at St John's, Waterloo, in London, “Springtime for the Church of England: Where are we seeing growth?”, which brought together speakers representing different traditions to share stories of local growth. The podcast this week features the opening talk by the Revd Dr David Goodhew, Vicar of St Barnabas's, Middlesbrough, Visiting Fellow of St John's College, Durham University, and the former director of the Centre for Church Growth Research. “The reason we have a confused discussion is that people tend to say either it must be growth, or it must be decline,” he says. “Actually, it's both; and, if you look across British Christianity, you are seeing a whole load of things going up, and going down, and it depends where you look as to what you are seeing.” At the start, Madeleine Davies, senior writer at the Church Times, and the Vicar of St John's, Waterloo, Canon Giles Goddard, introduce the event.

'Governance of Resistance in North and East Syria' examines the momentous development of the Kurdish-led autonomous administration since 2012. The creation of this unprecedented, ideologically radical entity is of immense significance in Kurdish, Syrian and Middle Eastern history and for discourses of nationalism and identity. This book presents new research from the expanding scholarship to interrogate Rojava as a political and social idea and explain the resistance narrative that underpins the ideology and governance structures. The contributions examine key aspects of the condition of the autonomous government, its successes, failures and impact, including the theory and nature of the political structures, their application in Arab areas, identity, education, gender and foreign relations. The findings demonstrate that North and East Syria has been revolutionary, that resistance there is resilient, and that there are constant and dynamic tensions between ideology and pragmatism in the evolution of this remarkable political and social project. The speakers at this event will also discuss fast-moving developments in north and east Syria. Meet our speakers Stephen Knight is a doctoral student at the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies at the University of Oxford. His ethnographic research explores the application of international humanitarian law by the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria. Outside of the field of law Stephen's research also looks at the interaction between mythology and political movements. Stephen also practises as a barrister, specialising in the interactions between criminal law, protest law, immigration law, and public law. He has forthcoming works in the fields of trafficking law and Kurdish mythology. Thomas McGee is an interdisciplinary researcher working at the intersection of legal and social studies of the Middle East, with particular emphasis on Kurdish dynamics in the Syrian context. He is a Max Weber fellow at the European University Institute in Florence, and completed his PhD on “Syria's Changing Statelessness Landscape: 2011 as Critical Juncture” at Melbourne Law School's Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness. Thomas has been a Visiting Fellow at the University of Oxford's Refugee Studies Centre and Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. He has previously published on a wide variety of topics in the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, International Migration Review, Middle East Journal of Culture and Communication, Genocide Studies International and the Kurdish Studies journal. Currently, Thomas is developing his PhD for publication as a monograph. Dastan Jasim is a Research Engineer at the Dauphine University in Paris and an Associate Fellow at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies. Her research focuses on political culture, democratization and security studies. William Smith is an analyst and researcher whose work has focused on Syria since 2013. He was worked as an independent adviser on a number of U.K.-government and EU funded peacebuilding and stabilisation projects, including as the lead for a ‘Track 2' initiative in northeastern Syria in 2021-22 that brought representatives of the SDF and Autonomous Administration together in dialogue with local civil society. He currently provides conflict analysis for a Syria humanitarian project.

James Chai, Visiting Fellow at ISEAS and former policy advisor to Malaysia's Ministry of Economy, joins Jeremy Au to unpack how Malaysia is repositioning itself in an era defined by AI, semiconductors, and geopolitical rivalry. They explore the country's shift from oil, gas, and plantations toward advanced manufacturing, examine how decades of semiconductor clustering built a quiet but durable export engine, and discuss why Malaysia is now doubling down on data centers and rare earths. The conversation covers US China competition over chip supply chains, the strategic importance of fabrication and GPU ecosystems, and how rare earth processing may represent the most underappreciated leverage point in the global tech stack. James also explains why execution, not ambition, will determine whether Malaysia can capture long term value from these emerging industries. 02:30 Malaysia balances growth with redistribution: The strategy is to raise high value industries like semiconductors and rare earths while lifting the bottom 40 percent through social protection. 05:42 Semiconductor strength came from decades of compounding: Intel and other multinationals anchored early manufacturing, and local engineers accumulated expertise that later spun into globally competitive firms. 10:18 Clusters beat subsidies alone: Tight networks of engineers, spin offs, and long term continuity allowed Malaysia's chip ecosystem to survive volatility and keep upgrading. 21:05 China uses constraint as strategy: By limiting access to high end Nvidia GPUs, Beijing forces domestic firms to innovate faster and close critical design gaps. 29:45 Chips are not oil: Frontier GPUs power model training, but most real world AI use relies on inference, meaning older chips retain value longer than markets assume. 37:22 Data centers create investment headlines but unclear spillovers: Billions flow into Malaysia, yet long term value depends on whether local firms capture supply chain and technology capabilities. 44:10 Rare earth processing is the real choke point: Deposits are global, but China controls the complex multi step processing chain, making chemistry and technology control more strategic than mining alone.

10:05 – 10:22 (17mins) Michele SteebCEO of Free Up Foundationwww.FreeUpFoundation.comwww.michelesteeb.comAuthor of Answers Behind the RED DOOR: Battling the Homeless Epidemic MICHELE STEEB: Tragic Tales Demand Reform Across America’s streets, the homeless epidemic is claiming lives, fracturing families, and eroding public safety. Often deeply intertwined with mental illness and addiction, it has become a humanitarian crisis that traps vulnerable individuals in cycles of dependence and despair while destabilizing the communities around them. This crisis has been worsened by policies that elevate the notion of “freedom” over timely, life-saving intervention. Recent events make the consequences of that choice unmistakably clear. Continuing on the current path is neither humane nor responsible. Consider what unfolded in New York City over the holidays. A woman with a documented history of serious mental illness and homelessness was released from psychiatric care, only to purchase a knife hours later, then repeatedly stab a mother changing her baby in a store’s restroom. Thankfully, both mother and child survived. But we must be clear that this was not a random act of violence — it was a foreseeable failure of a system that confuses discharge with success and autonomy with safety. In Honolulu, another homeless individual perished from advanced cancer that physicians later said was treatable with timely intervention. While untreated disease ultimately took his life, it also robbed society of the human potential that could have been restored had policy acknowledged his inability to make informed decisions about his own care. The Reiner family tragedy has laid this failure bare. Two parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, were brutally murdered in their Los Angeles home by their adult son — a heartbreaking outcome in the context of his long struggles with addiction, mental illness, and homelessness. Their surviving children are left traumatized, and their family is irreparably shattered. These are predictable results of public policy choices that ignore anosognosia — a neurological condition common in severe mental illness and addiction that strips individuals of insight into their own impairment. When public policy relies on voluntary compliance alone, this version of “freedom” becomes a slow, preventable death sentence for those least capable of protecting themselves. The result is a system paralyzed by fear of intervention, even as untreated illness escalates into violence, loss, and irreversible harm. For decades, civil commitment standards have been weakened in the name of civil liberties, requiring proof of imminent danger before action can be taken. By the time that threshold is met, irreversible damage has often already occurred. Meanwhile, homelessness is at the highest point ever recorded in our nation’s history, as is the death rate amongst the homeless population, driven largely by addiction as this JAMA study from San Francisco indicates. Voluntary programs help some, but they leave the sickest behind, precisely because many individuals are incapable of making rational decisions about their own care. Housing without treatment does not heal psychosis or addiction. It merely relocates suffering. That is why the Trump Administration’s current push to strengthen civil commitment laws and expand their use represents an overdue and necessary course correction. Expanding the criteria for intervention, requiring treatment plans with accountability, and ensuring continuity of care are acts of moral responsibility. Governments that turn to court-ordered treatment frameworks and supervised care models are beginning to confront a hard truth: When individuals are too ill to recognize their need for help, the humane response is intervention. While the Homeless Industrial Complex insists involuntary treatment undermines civil liberties and that it does not work, it was the abandonment of treatment-first approaches — not their use — that coincided with an increase in homelessness, even as public spending ballooned, all under a promise to end homelessness in a decade. It is a profound injustice to allow people with brain diseases to deteriorate, die, or endanger others in the name of an autonomy they do not meaningfully possess. Addiction and serious mental illness are diseases of the brain, not moral failings. Ignoring them does not preserve freedom; it destroys lives, fractures families, and imposes devastating consequences on communities and society as a whole. Accountable compassion pairs empathy with responsibility. It invests in psychiatric beds, recovery-oriented addiction care, and the resilience of human beings. It recognizes that public safety and human purpose are inseparable values. Untreated mental illness, including improperly treated mental illness, costs the U.S. economy hundreds of billions of dollars annually through emergency care, incarceration, lost productivity, and community destabilization. America cannot afford more preventable deaths on sidewalks, more assaults in public spaces, or more families shattered by untreated disease. Thankfully, this Administration recognizes that a society that refuses to intervene until blood is spilled is not a free society at all.

Thankfully, both mother and child survived. But we must be clear that this was not a random act of violence — it was a foreseeable failure of a system that confuses discharge with success and autonomy with safety. In Honolulu, another homeless individual perished from advanced cancer that physicians later said was treatable with timely intervention. While untreated disease ultimately took his life, it also robbed society of the human potential that could have been restored had policy acknowledged his inability to make informed decisions about his own care. The Reiner family tragedy has laid this failure bare. Two parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, were brutally murdered in their Los Angeles home by their adult son — a heartbreaking outcome in the context of his long struggles with addiction, mental illness, and homelessness. Their surviving children are left traumatized, and their family is irreparably shattered. These are predictable results of public policy choices that ignore anosognosia — a neurological condition common in severe mental illness and addiction that strips individuals of insight into their own impairment. When public policy relies on voluntary compliance alone, this version of “freedom” becomes a slow, preventable death sentence for those least capable of protecting themselves. The result is a system paralyzed by fear of intervention, even as untreated illness escalates into violence, loss, and irreversible harm. For decades, civil commitment standards have been weakened in the name of civil liberties, requiring proof of imminent danger before action can be taken. By the time that threshold is met, irreversible damage has often already occurred. Meanwhile, homelessness is at the highest point ever recorded in our nation’s history, as is the death rate amongst the homeless population, driven largely by addiction as this JAMA study from San Francisco indicates. Voluntary programs help some, but they leave the sickest behind, precisely because many individuals are incapable of making rational decisions about their own care. Housing without treatment does not heal psychosis or addiction. It merely relocates suffering. That is why the Trump Administration’s current push to strengthen civil commitment laws and expand their use represents an overdue and necessary course correction. Expanding the criteria for intervention, requiring treatment plans with accountability, and ensuring continuity of care are acts of moral responsibility. Governments that turn to court-ordered treatment frameworks and supervised care models are beginning to confront a hard truth: When individuals are too ill to recognize their need for help, the humane response is intervention. While the Homeless Industrial Complex insists involuntary treatment undermines civil liberties and that it does not work, it was the abandonment of treatment-first approaches — not their use — that coincided with an increase in homelessness, even as public spending ballooned, all under a promise to end homelessness in a decade. It is a profound injustice to allow people with brain diseases to deteriorate, die, or endanger others in the name of an autonomy they do not meaningfully possess. Addiction and serious mental illness are diseases of the brain, not moral failings. Ignoring them does not preserve freedom; it destroys lives, fractures families, and imposes devastating consequences on communities and society as a whole. Accountable compassion pairs empathy with responsibility. It invests in psychiatric beds, recovery-oriented addiction care, and the resilience of human beings. It recognizes that public safety and human purpose are inseparable values. Untreated mental illness, including improperly treated mental illness, costs the U.S. economy hundreds of billions of dollars annually through emergency care, incarceration, lost productivity, and community destabilization. America cannot afford more preventable deaths on sidewalks, more assaults in public spaces, or more families shattered by untreated disease. Thankfully, this Administration recognizes that a society that refuses to intervene until blood is spilled is not a free society at all.

In support of the US peace plan for Gaza, President Trump proposed a “Board of Peace” as a transitional governmental authority to ensure Israeli military withdrawal from the territory. It was empowered by the UN Security Council to act on the organization's behalf as a presumably neutral body to ensure the delivery of humanitarian assistance, rebuild the region that has been physically devastated from war, and oversee security in the return of refugees who have fled the conflict. But as introduced by the American President at the World Economic Forum meetings in Davos in January, it has become a controversial body. Trump advanced a vision of the body, one which includes a payment of one billion dollars (to whom it is still unclear) that could challenge the UN. On today's show we start with an exploration of this new vision for the organization advanced by the US.

His latest include Europe must reject Trump's nonsense accusations of ‘civilizational erasure' – but it urgently needs a strategy of its own and Donald Trump's Board of Peace signed at Davos – key points I took away from my visit to the ski resort The Board of Peace was initially and ostensibly created to govern Gaza in light of a peace agreement with the intention of removing Israeli military forces in exchange for a neutral transitional government. This was endorsed by the United Nations Security Council in Resolution 2803 with very specific tasks outlined, including aiding in the creation of Palestinian governance, the physical and economic reconstruction of the war-torn territory, the delivery of public services and humanitarian assistance, and the return of refugees. In this segment, we examine the Board's ability to accomplish its defined set of goals. [ dur: 30mins. ] John B. Quigly is a Professor of Law Emeritus at Ohio State University.

How often do you check your phone every day? Dr Clare Moriarty, Visiting Fellow in Trinity College Dublin, has picked up on her habits, and is asking the question: are we 'phone zombies'?

As we are rattled by the news every day with something astonishing, often horrifying—scandals, political collisions and war—it becomes hard to keep our connection to the concept of international law. Why is the rules-based order under so much strain? Joining Jeremy and Louise are former ambassadors Sabine Nolke, a Visiting Fellow at Western University and practitioner of international law, and Jon Allen, Senior Fellow at the University of Toronto's Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History and a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Canadian International Council.

Philip Nash's book Clare Boothe Luce: American Renaissance Woman (Routledge, 2022) is a concise and highly readable political biography that examines the life of one of the most accomplished American women of the 20th century. Wife and mother, author, editor, playwright, political activist, war journalist, Congresswoman, ambassador, pundit, and feminist—Luce did it all. Carefully placing Luce in a series of shifting historical contexts, this book offers the reader an insight into mid-century American political, cultural, gender, and foreign relations history. Eleven primary sources follow the text, including excerpts from Luce's diary, letters, speeches, and published works, as well as a TV talk-show appearance and a critic's diary entry describing an evening with her, helping readers to understand her fascinating life. Together, the narrative and documents afford readers a brief yet in-depth look at Luce with all her complications: glamorous intellectual, acid-tongued diplomat, and feminist conservative, she was a deeply flawed high-achiever who repeatedly challenged the entrenched sexism of her age to become a significant actor in the rise of the “American Century.” Addressing the neglect suffered by women in foreign relations history, this will be of interest to students and scholars of US foreign relations, 20th-century US history, and US women's history.

Building an Impactful Philanthropic Portfolio Caroline discusses why giving should be as strategic as any investment. Rather than random donations, align your charitable “portfolio” with your skills and resources—and verify that you're meeting real needs with evidence-based solutions. She advises, "It's important to think about what you have... Money is the most obvious thing, but there can be other things donors bring as well." 2. The Emotional Rewards of Giving Paul reveals that generosity is deeply connected to happiness and meaning. Drawing on Aristotle's concept of “philia”—friendship love—he explains, “The more you feel the people you are looking to help are actually yourself, or people like those whom you love...the greater is your generosity.” Joy comes from connecting your giving to your deepest values. 3. Values-Driven and Relationship-Centered Giving Yvonne urges donors to engage their families and communities—not just write checks. Impact starts with understanding the problems you're trying to solve, ongoing donor education, and building trust with nonprofits. “Philanthropy is not about wealth, it's about worth and how you understand the worth of other people,” she shares. 4. Technology and Financial Planning Tools for Greater Impact  Stephen demystifies donor advised funds and tax-smart strategies, making giving frictionless and empowering donors to commit more, without financial strain. “We want to put a lot of focus on making the transactional frictionless so the relational can flourish,” he says. From bunching to appreciated stock, financial tools are game changers for modern philanthropists.
