Ten years ago, Sydney-based artist HOSSEI took a step back from the art world to care for his sick mother. The more time they spent together, the more inspired HOSSEI became to create something especially for, about, and starring his mum.HOSSEI is an artist with a flair for colour, quirk and unbridled joy.But growing up the only son of a Persian-Australian family, it took years of hard work to convince his parents that being an artist was his destiny.HOSSEI's mother, Nahid, came around first, getting her sewing machine out to help her son make his incredible costumes.Then, it was HOSSEI's turn to support his mum, who needed a carer as her health deteriorated.As they spent more and more time together, HOSSEI was inspired to write a musical for, about and starring his cheeky, charismatic mother.The project is personal, but also has a political edge -- women in Iran aren't allowed to freely sing, dance or play music -- and so HOSSEI put his mother centre stage.Further informationRecently, HOSSEI was commissioned by Parramatta Artist Studios to update their uniform in connection with Wear it Purple Day.He has also been commissioned by the Sydney Opera House to develop a play space for the Centre for Creativity, which will be presented in January 2026.HOSSEI is currently touring his show ESSSENSSSE through regional NSW, at Bathurst Regional Gallery, Yarrila Arts and Museum in Coffs Harbour and later to Wagga Wagga Art Gallery.You can keep up to date with HOSSEI's exhibitions and news at his Instagram page.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris and presented by Richard Fidler, executive producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores visual arts, performing arts, becoming an artist, how to be an artist, carers, caring for parents, the sandwich generation, Persia, Iran, womens rights, feminism, musical theatre, experimental art, Western Sydney, Sydney College of the Arts, university, TAFE, tertiary education, what to do after high school, graduation, Istanbul, migration, war, escape, family dynamics, sisters, kidnapping.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

In a conversation with SBS Hebrew, Ben Saul University of Sydney professor and UN Special Rapporteur analyses Australia's unprecedented expulsion of Iran's ambassador. He explains the move as a "strong symbolic signal" against Iran's destabilising activities on Australian soil, which endanger its multicultural pluralism. Professor Saul also explores the complex implications of potentially listing Iran's Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organisation.

Former Labor MP Michael Danby has welcomed the Australian Government's decision to expel Iran's ambassador, following alleged links between Tehran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and recent attacks on Jewish institutions in Sydney and Melbourne. Danby praised ASIO and the AFP for their investigation, noting the use of local criminals to carry out anti-Semitic violence. He warned that Australia's relations with Iran are unlikely to normalise until major political change occurs within the country.

Civilization END - The Decline and Fall of the American Empire - Jiang XueqinPt-brJiang Xueqin é um professor e analista geopolítico chinês que ganhou notoriedade por suas previsões precisas sobre conflitos internacionais. Com base em conceitos de psico-história — inspirados na obra Fundação, de Isaac Asimov — ele utiliza seu canal no YouTube, chamado Predictive History, para antecipar eventos geopolíticos com base em padrões históricos e teoria dos jogos.Em 2024, Jiang alertou para a possibilidade de um confronto militar entre os Estados Unidos e o Irã, impulsionado por três forças principais:O lobby de Israel (incluindo o AIPAC e grupos cristãos sionistas)Interesses financeiros de Wall StreetA Arábia Saudita, que vê o Irã como ameaça existencialEle também criticou a doutrina militar americana de “choque e pavor”, argumentando que os EUA negligenciam princípios clássicos de guerra, como logística e apoio popular. Jiang comparou a possível invasão do Irã à desastrosa expedição de Atenas à Sicília no século V a.C., prevendo que os EUA enfrentariam resistência local, terreno hostil e colapso logístico.Além disso, Jiang alertou que uma segunda presidência de Donald Trump poderia acelerar esse cenário, com figuras como Jared Kushner e Nikki Haley favorecendo uma escalada militar. Ele chegou a sugerir que os EUA poderiam recorrer a operações de bandeira falsa para justificar uma invasão.===Eng-usJiang Xueqin is a Chinese professor and geopolitical analyst who has gained attention for his remarkably accurate predictions about global conflicts.

Jiang compared a potential U.S. invasion of Iran to Athens' disastrous Sicilian Expedition in the 5th century BCE, predicting that the U.S. would face fierce resistance, mountainous terrain, and logistical collapse.Jiang also warned that a second Trump presidency could accelerate this scenario, citing figures like Jared Kushner and Nikki Haley as proponents of military escalation. He even suggested the U.S. might use a false-flag operation to justify intervention.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Quake Flattens Afghan Villages A 6.0 earthquake has left eastern Afghanistan shattered — more than 800 killed, nearly 3,000 injured. Entire villages in Kunar province are gone, with survivors describing terrifying jolts and endless aftershocks. Helicopters are the only way in as floods and landslides block roads. Hospitals in Jalalabad are overwhelmed, and the Taliban has appealed for urgent international aid. SCO Backs India on Terror At its Tianjin summit, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation strongly condemned the Pahalgam terror attack and backed India's demand that “double standards” on terrorism must end. Leaders from India, China, Russia, and Pakistan signed a declaration pledging zero tolerance for terror and more cooperation against cross-border threats. The statement also condemned violence in Gaza and strikes on Iran, while urging reforms at the UN, IMF, and World Bank. India, however, refused to endorse China's Belt and Road Initiative. Trump Targets India Again US President Donald Trump has reignited trade tensions, calling the India-US equation a “one-sided disaster.” He claimed India has offered to cut tariffs on American goods to “nothing,” but also linked Washington's steep 50% tariffs to India's oil trade with Russia. New Delhi has pushed back, defending farm protections and accusing the US of moving the goalposts. Rupee Sinks to 88.33 The Indian rupee has slipped to a fresh record low of 88.33 against the dollar, pressured by US tariffs, heavy importer hedging, and foreign outflows. Analysts warn it could slide toward 89–90 if the dispute drags on, though RBI may intervene. This comes even as India's economy logged a robust 7.8% growth last quarter. SpiceJet Fined Over Delay A Mumbai consumer court has ordered SpiceJet to pay ₹55,000 to a passenger after a 14-hour Dubai–Mumbai delay where the airline served only a burger and fries. The ruling reminded carriers that technical glitches don't excuse neglecting passengers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

With the beginning of the “New FCPA” era coined by DOJ's Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, we now need to focus on third-party risk and sanctions enforcement. The law, the practice, and the risks are important and not just the same as FCPA legal requirements. As we embark on a new criminal enforcement era surrounding sanctions violations, companies have to address this issue and do it correctly. In this episode, Michael Volkov takes a comprehensive look at third-party risks from the distribution and supply sides and outlines appropriate strategies to manage these risks.Epsilon Electronics serves as a stark reminder of the financial consequences of non-compliance. The company faced an OFAC enforcement action due to a shipment to Iran, resulting in a staggering penalty of over $4 million.Apollo Aviation Group settled with OFAC for $210,600 for leasing aircraft engines which ultimately ended up being placed in to aircraft of a prohibited entity, Sudan Airways, violating sanctions regulations.ELF Cosmetics settled with OFAC for $996,000 for importing false eyelash kits containing materials sourced from North Korea, highlighting supply chain due diligence failures.The ELF Cosmetics case underscores the crucial role of supply chain due diligence in preventing sanctions violations. Instead of sticking their heads in the sand, companies must undertake basic supply chain due diligence when sourcing products from regions close to high-risk countries or regions.“Reason to know” is now the key phrase guiding the New FCPA era. OFAC does not need to prove goods ultimately end up in a sanctioned country. When you see red flags, you must resolve them or they could be considered a “reason to know” in OFAC's eyes.Seven essential elements to boost your compliance program and effectively mitigate third-party sanctions risks include risk assessment, varying levels of due diligence, end-user documentation, monitoring, training, and red flag identification.ResourcesMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

Der CDU-Arbeitnehmerflügel macht einen neuen Vorschlag in der schwarz-roten Steuerdebatte. CDA-Chef Dennis Radtke will Änderungen bei der Erbschaft- und Schenkungsteuer. Dabei geht es ihm um die Vermögensbedarfsprüfung. Bei dieser Regelung prüft das Finanzamt, ob Erben eines sehr großen Unternehmens die Steuer aus ihrem privaten Vermögen bezahlen können. Sie müssen dafür maximal die Hälfte ihres Privatvermögens einsetzen. Je nach genauer Ausgestaltung können so auch Milliardenvermögen vererbt werden, ohne dass überhaupt eine nennenswerte Steuer vom Erben gezahlt werden muss. Radtke sagt im Gespräch mit Michael Bröcker: "Diese Dinge anzugehen, wäre überfällig. Das wäre gut für das Land. Das wäre auch keine Steuererhöhung, sondern das Stopfen von Schlupflöchern."

In this episode of The Mel K Show, I am joined once again by E.M. Burlingham, a voice of clarity in a time when truth is buried under layers of distraction, propaganda, and misinformation. With chaos in the news cycle and endless noise on social media, it is more important than ever to separate what matters from what is designed to mislead. E.M. brings his sharp analysis and global perspective to help us understand the forces shaping today's world. We begin with the situation in Europe and the growing tensions surrounding Ukraine, NATO, and the EU. E.M. explains why the conflict has less to do with defending democracy and more to do with entrenched power structures trying to preserve their influence. He describes Europe's relationship with the United States and Russia as a “divorce,” one that has been in the making since 2016 and is now heading toward a final settlement. In his view, the realignment that is coming will reshape the geopolitical order and leave Europe isolated from both America and Russia. We also discuss the danger of escalating toward global war. While many in the media push narratives designed to spark fear about a third world conflict, E.M. points out that recent U.S. leadership has made it clear that Article 5 of the NATO treaty will not be a blank check for endless intervention. This is a major shift that signals the United States is unwilling to be dragged into a full-scale war by European or NATO elites. From there, our conversation touches on broader global hotspots, including the Middle East. While tensions between Israel and Iran remain volatile, E.M. suggests that the possibility of this region igniting into a wider war is also diminishing. What we are seeing instead, he argues, is a desperate attempt by entrenched powers to provoke crises that no longer serve the strategic interests of larger players. Throughout our discussion, E.M. emphasizes the importance of viewing these conflicts not through the lens of media talking points but through the deeper realities of shifting alliances, failed leadership, and financial structures that are losing their grip. This is not about simple left-versus-right politics. It is about the collapse of an outdated world order and the emergence of something new. Here is what you will learn in this episode: Why Europe's future may be one of isolation as the U.S. and Russia shift their focus How NATO has transformed into an offensive force that no longer serves the people Why the threat of a third world war is being exaggerated and what is actually at stake The role of entrenched financial and political elites in fueling global crises How citizens can cut through distraction and understand the bigger picture This is a conversation for anyone who wants to move beyond the noise and see what is really happening on the world stage. E.M. Burlingham has the depth of knowledge and the courage to tell the truth in a way that makes sense. If you are tired of being manipulated by false narratives, this episode will give you the clarity and perspective you need. Learn more about and follow E.M.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:    First—Iran is back in the spotlight, as Britain, France and Germany announce plans to trigger crippling snapback sanctions on the Islamic regime previously suspended under the nearly defunct 2015 nuclear deal.

//The Wire//2300Z August 29, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: DIPLOMATIC TENSIONS INCREASE IN MIDDLE EAST AND SOUTH AMERICA. MINNEAPOLIS SHOOTING RESULTS IN INCREASED THREAT RISK AS MANY PEOPLE DECLARE SUPPORT FOR THE KILLER.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Indications and warnings are growing regarding what may be a general increase in hostilities throughout the region. Yesterday, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom voted to begin the process of re-imposing the United Nations sanctions on Iran (the same sanctions that were lifted in 2015). In Gaza, the conflict continues as before, with the statements by the White House over the past few weeks giving the green light for another expansion of Israeli operations in Gaza City. This morning, the White House revoked the diplomatic travel visas of Palestinian Authority diplomats, so that they cannot travel to testify before the United Nations General Assembly.Analyst Comment: This could be nothing, or this could be the start of something. Overnight, Turkey inexplicably closed their airspace to all Israeli aircraft and has allegedly cut all economic ties with Israel. Separately, Germany issued warnings to all of their citizens in Iran to leave the country, mostly out of fear of retaliatory attacks. So far, these are very early indications of trouble, but the history of the region is proof that very little is needed for a war to kick off again.South America: US Naval operations continue off the coast of Venezuela, as Venezuelan forces increase territorial defense operations. Several low-level military exercises have been undertaken in Venezuela, and coastal gunboat patrols have increased over the past few days.Analyst Comment: So far, this is all just posturing from both parties. Venezuela has no real defense against American forces, so any real resistance to this "naval diplomacy" effort from the United States will carefully avoid any direct confrontation.-HomeFront-Florida: This morning a mass casualty event was reported on I-95 near Ives Dairy Road in Miami. 29x people were hospitalized due to injuries sustained when a semi truck failed to observe traffic congestion, rear-ending a long line of halted vehicles. The driver has not been identified, but is expected to face charges.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: So far, the fallout from the Minneapolis Church Shooting has left more questions than answers. From a tactical standpoint, the shooter very clearly stated that he selected this Church as a target due to the staff being unarmed and thus unlikely to fight back. The killer also had drawn very crude sector sketches of the Church interior, mapping out the entry and exit points in the Nave. The killer also made statements of specifically avoiding behavioral actions that might tip off authorities that he was planning this attack, indicating that this had been in the works for some time.Similarly, online rhetoric has been exceptionally severe following this attack, with hundreds (if not thousands) of accounts online supporting the killer. There is even one company selling T-shirts with the killers face, declaring support for his actions. One Massachusetts man posted a video online encouraging further attacks on Christian institutions, and many others have also declared the intent to carry out other attacks (though without providing specific and actionable details). In short, the online atmosphere among the usual suspect platforms (Reddit, Discord, etc), has indicated that the threat of copycat attacks is higher than usual. It's hard to say how serious most of these threats are, however the sheer number of people who have expressed support for this attack should not be ignored and should be taken seriously out of an abundance of caution.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

In this episode, we uncover shocking stories the mainstream media won't touch. From an Iran-linked extremist firebombing a synagogue in Australia, to the Palestinian Authority calling the shofar Israel's “most dangerous weapon,” the headlines reveal a disturbing global surge in antisemitism and radicalism. Even a lighthearted goat-rescue story from Judea and Samaria spiraled into controversy, exposing how deeply the narrative against Israel is twisted. Most alarming of all: a U.S. school shooting tied to antisemitic hate, pro-Hamas rhetoric, and threats against Jews, Christians, Israel, and Donald Trump. This is not just ideology—it's fueling real violence.

Donna Leon's memoir, "Wandering through Life," gave her fans a colorful tour through her life, from childhood in New Jersey to adventures in China and Iran, to her love of Venice and opera. Nowhere, however, did she discuss her writing life.Now in her new collection of essays "BACKSTAGE: Stories of a Writing Life," Donna reveals her admiration for, and inspiration from, the great crime novelists Ruth Rendell and Ross Macdonald, examining their approach to storytelling as she dissects her favorite books of theirs. She expresses her love for Charles Dickens's Great Expectations and her appreciation for Sir Walter Scott's generosity of spirit. And she chronicles the amount of research she undertakes to be able to present her characters and work authentically.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the heartbreaking Catholic school shooting in Minneapolis, a wave of swatting attacks targeting U.S. colleges, and global updates from Iran, Greenland, Vietnam, and West Africa. From domestic terror and cultural battles at home to mineral wars and Islamist violence abroad, today's brief delivers the facts shaping America's future. Minneapolis Catholic School Shooting: A 23-year-old man who identified as transgender opened fire outside a Catholic school, killing two children and injuring 17 others. In his manifesto he wrote, “I do it to please myself… I do it because I am sick.” The school's priest begged, “I ask you to — please — pray,” while Democrats like Jen Psaki shot back, “Prayer is not freaking enough.” Bryan calls Psaki's remarks “a demand of the evil and wicked” and links the shooter's instability to cross-sex hormones, THC use, and the broader dangers of experimental “gender affirming care.” Swatting Attacks Target U.S. Colleges: Universities from South Carolina to Colorado were hit by fake active-shooter calls, prompting dangerous police raids. Wired identifies the culprits as an online group called Purgatory, who brag they are “nihilistic” and do it for fun and cash. Bryan argues the crime warrants capital punishment: “You rip this stuff and these people out by the root.” Foreign Spies Captured Bolton's Emails: The New York Times confirms that a foreign intelligence service intercepted classified emails John Bolton sent to his wife and daughter from an unsecured system. Democrats call Trump's DOJ “fascist,” but Bryan insists, “Had I done what John Bolton did, I would be in prison a long time ago.” Iran's Nuclear Stockpile Neutralized: Satellite images confirm Trump's Operation Midnight Hammer left 900 pounds of enriched uranium entombed at Isfahan. The IAEA backs the finding, despite Iran threatening its director Rafael Grossi with death. Bryan says the news proves firing DIA chief Jeffrey Kruse for downplaying the strike was “a good clean-out of the Deep State.” American Operatives Stir Trouble in Greenland: The Wall Street Journal reports suspected Trump-linked contractors are recruiting Greenlanders for separatist movements, sparking tensions with Denmark. Bryan suspects, “These guys are more like Erik Prince's Blackwater than CIA professionals — sloppy, but maybe effective.” China Moves to Corner Vietnam's Tungsten Supply: Reuters reveals Chinese firms are secretly bidding for Vietnam's tungsten mines through front companies. With the U.S. sourcing a quarter of its tungsten from Vietnam, Bryan warns this could leave America “utterly dependent” on Beijing for another critical mineral. Islamist Violence in Ivory Coast Spurs U.S. Base Plans: Militants from Burkina Faso kill farmers in northern Ivory Coast, part of a growing jihadist campaign across West Africa. The U.S. considers building a drone and Special Forces base in Benin, Ghana, or Ivory Coast to counter both Islamists and China's expanding footprint in African resources and fishing.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Minneapolis Catholic school shooting, transgender shooter manifesto, Jen Psaki prayer remarks, THC psychosis gender dysphoria, U.S. college swatting attacks Purgatory group, John Bolton unsecured emails espionage, Operation Midnight Hammer uranium entombed, Jeffrey Kruse DIA firing, Trump Greenland operatives separatist movement, China Vietnam tungsten mine, U.S. dependence critical minerals, Ivory Coast Islamist attack Burkina Faso, U.S. West Africa drone base, China Africa bauxite cocoa fishing

Greg Lukianoff returns to the podcast as he and Bridget spotlight the battle for free speech and why it's dying in many areas of the world. They discuss suing the Trump administration over a shady deportation policy, AI's potential for tyranny in places like China and Iran, people who are pro-free speech until it's someone who's not on their team, the free speech disaster happening in Europe and Canada, why free speech is a problem of comfort, why Greg is funding experiments in AI that defend free speech and viewpoint diversity, and why free speech is an eternally radical idea that must be continuously fought for.Sponsor Links: - Quest offers 100+ lab tests to empower you to have more control over your health journey.

Tommy & Ben dig into the FBI's raid on John Bolton and how Pete Hegseth's firing of the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency fits into Trump's ongoing ideological purges of the US intelligence community. They discuss Israel's criminal “double tap” strike on Gaza's Nasser Hospital, The Free Press's sanctimonious reaction to criticism of their reporting about starvation in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's constant moving of the goalposts on a ceasefire deal, why Trump's meeting South Korean president Lee Jae Myung was humiliating for America, Trump's lies and delusions about being a peacemaker, the latest on Iran negotiations, why Australia expelled Iranian diplomats, and Putin's answer to Eurovision. Then, Tommy speaks with Franklin Nossiter, Sahel Analyst at the International Crisis Group, about the complex dynamics in a region where military juntas, jihadists, and foreign powers are all jostling for influence.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
