"It's interesting to hear <Speech_Female> this because I think <Speech_Female> maybe if you know about <Speech_Female> the fashion industry and <Speech_Female> supply chains, you'll know <Speech_Female> that there's lots of <Speech_Female> manufacturing in turkey. <Speech_Female> There's <Speech_Female> amazing big <Speech_Female> denim company <Speech_Female> called Isco, but <Speech_Female> there's also, <Speech_Female> I mean, they grow <Speech_Female> cotton, there are lots of <Speech_Female> fast fashion <Speech_Female> manufacturers as well. <Speech_Female> And yet you're <Speech_Female> telling a story of <Speech_Female> a far predating <Speech_Female> heritage <Speech_Female> of <Speech_Female> hand making <Speech_Female> textile, excellence, <Speech_Female> <Speech_Female> and the beauty of <Speech_Female> <Speech_Female> the hand, right? It's very <Speech_Female> different. So you've got it <Speech_Female> all, I guess. <Speech_Male> I guess <Speech_Male> it has all that <Speech_Male> elements. Yeah, <Speech_Male> it's true that <Speech_Male> the whole like massive <Speech_Male> factories that <Speech_Male> produce. <Speech_Male> And you know the sad <Speech_Male> parts <Speech_Male> actually I'm an <Speech_Male> optimistic, but I'm <Speech_Male> just going to say it <Speech_Male> like all these handcraft <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> like those <Speech_Male> hand over <Speech_Male> males is just <Speech_Male> decreasing. It's <Speech_Male> just because <Speech_Male> it doesn't <Speech_Male> make <Speech_Male> as much <Speech_Male> money as <Speech_Male> those big <Speech_Male> factories. So <Speech_Male> people just <Speech_Male> be just using <Speech_Male> losing all these <Speech_Male> craftsmen <Speech_Male> and <Speech_Male> another aspect <Speech_Male> is the new generation <Speech_Male> because they don't <Speech_Male> want to learn these <Speech_Male> skills because <Speech_Male> they just see it <Speech_Male> like why <Speech_Male> would you spend <Speech_Male> on a meal like <Speech_Male> for like a week <Speech_Male> to produce something <Speech_Male> 5 meters <Speech_Male> like it doesn't make sense <Speech_Male> to them because <Speech_Male> everything is super <Speech_Male> fast now. <Speech_Male> So it just I <Speech_Male> found this really sad <Speech_Male> even I think <Speech_Male> if <Speech_Male> you look into the <Speech_Male> families, they don't <Speech_Male> produce those <Speech_Male> like hand crochets <Speech_Male> or needle looks <Speech_Male> like <Speech_Male> amazing pieces anymore. <Speech_Male> It's just <Speech_Male> all gone into <Speech_Male> time <Speech_Male> and <Speech_Male> I believe in <Speech_Male> some part yes <Speech_Male> that's true like <Speech_Male> people need to earn a living <Speech_Male> but <Speech_Male> I believe that <Speech_Male> it needs to be <Speech_Male> somehow preserved <Speech_Male> and <Speech_Male> kept because <Speech_Male> otherwise <Speech_Male> have it going to show <Speech_Male> the new generation <Speech_Male> like what we had <Speech_Male> before. <Speech_Male> I don't want turkey <Speech_Male> to be known as a <Speech_Male> denim <Speech_Male> factory <Speech_Music_Male> country because <Speech_Male> it's not like it <Speech_Male> has so many <Speech_Male> handcrafted <Speech_Male> items <Speech_Male> like from <Speech_Male> every aspect like <Speech_Male> from trace <Speech_Male> to like <Speech_Male> close to <Speech_Male> needlework and <Speech_Male> it would be <Speech_Male> it would be <Speech_Male> such a shame <Speech_Male> if I <Speech_Male> see it in the future <Speech_Male> that it will <Speech_Male> all disappear. <Speech_Male> So I <Speech_Male> believe as a <Speech_Male> designer <Speech_Male> to have a balance <Speech_Male> for sure. But <Speech_Male> we need to understand <Speech_Male> the price for <Speech_Male> it as well. Like <Speech_Male> buy <Speech_Male> something that's <Speech_Male> handmade you <Speech_Music_Male> need to know that <Speech_Male> that's worth <Speech_Male> so much more. <Speech_Male> That's someone's <Speech_Male> a month of <Speech_Male> work <Speech_Male> rather than you just buy <Speech_Male> something that's because <Speech_Male> it's trendy <Speech_Male> and <Speech_Male> it just made <Speech_Male> in half an <Speech_Male> hour and God <Speech_Male> knows how. <Speech_Male> This really on the <Speech_Male> shoulders of the <Speech_Male> end customer because <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> they need to be aware <Speech_Male> and they need to make <Speech_Male> their choices and <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> they need to understand <Speech_Male> it's not just <Speech_Male> the price tag. <Speech_Male> Maybe we don't need to <Speech_Male> buy I don't know <Speech_Male> 15 tops a <Speech_Male> year. Maybe we <Speech_Male> need to buy <SpeakerChange> three. <Speech_Male> I should <Speech_Female> be buying one <Speech_Female> dress. <Speech_Female> <Speech_Female> Yes. <Speech_Male> <Speech_Female> <Speech_Female> It's so beautiful. <Speech_Female> Thank you. Thank you. <Speech_Female> What I did like <Speech_Female> to come and <Speech_Female> talk with you about <Speech_Female> your craft and your <Speech_Female> perspective, I really <Speech_Female> enjoyed it. <SpeakerChange> Thank you. <Speech_Male> <Advertisement> Thank you so much for <Speech_Music_Male> <Advertisement> having me. <Speech_Music_Male> <Advertisement> <SpeakerChange> <Music> <Advertisement> <Music> <Advertisement> <Speech_Music_Female> <Advertisement> Thank you <Speech_Music_Female> <Advertisement> for

"But it keeps us very cutting. Yellow is the color of energy. Yes, it was. That's hysterical. All right, when did you figure out that you were on the right path? Probably from the response. I think I knew that this is what I should be doing. And I carry on, which was not a hard task for me because it came natural to me. And it was, I always knew I had to stick to my guns like I just, even though it was, I don't know, either it's in trend or it's not. In this sense, I think London is an amazing place. It lets you be an individual as a designer or as a person. And so it was for me, I had my own niche and carrying on with something that you actually loved doing rather than forcing yourself to be in different boxes. I think it's so much easier. So it was yeah, I liked how you talked before about consistency and sticking to your vision because I think it's actually quite hard thing to do because fashion's pace is so frenetic and I was thinking about, why is everything latex right now? So everything is latex and a bit BDSM. But if you're not into that, then are you out of the trend cycle? And if you are into that, then next time when it's gone, will you be out of not in Vogue? How do you go your own way consistently when all around you are leaping towards Lake X masks? That's true. I think you need to. What do you care? What do you think, oh, whatever, they do their thing. I do mine. I think now I always say like everyone, I think new their thing, but it's more important what you want to do. But this comes with it. I think maturity as well.

"I don't know, inspiration that someone did it. So you could do it. Just that belief. It creates a belief in you. Right out of Saint Martin's 20 years ago nearly now you started your own label. Why do you do that and not choose to, for example, try and go and work for a big luxury house in Paris. Actually, I had an injury on my last year of semantics and if you read that, my aim was to go and work for a fashion house. It was I wanted to work for balenciaga at that time in Paris. But Zika was a different ball game than let's not go into that, but it was just one of my kind of aim. But I didn't know there was a dynamic in London, especially with the new designers that which I was part of it. When I graduated, I was giving an award by British fashion council, and then in 6 months I had to do my own label show at the official schedule of London fashion week. I think this does not happen in another fashion capitals. I believe, but in London because it's so much about the newness and the new talent of the new generation. So for me, like just freshly graduated and then doing a fashion show, but nothing thinking if it's going to be a business, was a major thing. So I didn't actually plan to have my own business, but I just throw myself into it. And again, my first show, I was thinking, okay, I was giving this opportunity that was sponsorship, but this might be my first and last collection. So what did you make? I know, like it was like a basically made everything that I thought represents me because I thought maybe I should this will be my last collection and in ten, 15 years I could look back and I could be proud. I think it's so important to do things that I think knowing yourself is very important as a building and design identity. But after knowing your, I think identity sticking to it is another thing. I want to come back to that because I think that's also a very important thread in your work but something I wish we saw more of a consistency of signature and point of view rather than leaping around with some hot pants. But give us a taste of some of the things that you presented if you can remember.

"I guess each brand has their own philosophy and I think the fact that it fits with my brand or maybe I created my brand around the time it could be both ways like a chicken or egg story like but I think it's also my brand's philosophy was this like from beginning as I said like this little detail sold into garments. So I guess my brand was always about that. It's just a tasting and thing and since I involved with fashion because it was all on it about drawings for me before. I could just draw and draw. My mom still kept some of my drawings and I didn't draw like mountains and hazards. It was always like woman in my family and their platform shoes and this and that. So I have this interest I think since I was a child and I think my name is a teenager I discovered that, okay, I didn't know things can be treated garments you know there is like another journey started this when I started getting into fashion and the fabrics and creating these things that you can walk around rather than just seeing it on a paper and this how my illustrations become more like a more fashion illustrations and then I decided to study and come to London, which was years ago. Who opened your mind to that idea? Did you remember so you left turkey to come to saint Martins and study in London? How did you hear about it? What made you think that's a good that's for me? I mean, this is the end of 90s, so I didn't in turkey. We didn't have a fashion school. I wanted to do something like learn fashion a to Z how to construct a garment. When I was in high school, I was doing internships in this tailors, just to understand the construction because there is literally no place I could learn.

"It doesn't have to be like a trend to oriented garment. It just needs to be precious. And I used to have these now it's so hard to do. I used to have like little things sewn into each garment. It was almost like a secret fit between the customer who buys it. I know it. And the government knows it. So it's like a little too. I love these. Personalities. But no one sees from our side. It's just like our little secret that I thought that's so important to share it. Like when it's such a small quantity of production, you could always achieve that. And then make things special. I love that. It's beautiful. You're obviously a collector. When I walked in, I was like, I've got those tricks. You've got a pile. There's more than ten. Of different pieces of Venetian giltwood, which are like let's share some pictures out. I'm a collector. And borderline holder. You obviously also save and in this UI like a previous podcast guest will share a link and get you to listen back to the gorgeous episode we did with Akira isogawa who's a Japanese Australian designer who is a massive horde where he saves every vintage scrap and then makes extremely beautiful things out of them. But I was interested to see that in the show notes to this season's collection, you talked about using saved old what were your words? I think he said old unused and rejected from that. So I thought it is story of that. So this, I think, started before pandemic, because we used to go to there's a show called premier vision. So you meet with all manufacturers from main Italy, France, or all around the world, like who is accepted to be that to show their also nitra designers and print designers. So each time when we go to the manufacturers, they always want to show you the new fabric state design or just came fresh from the mail and then I started getting interested in this. What about the stocks whether that's all those like miles and miles of fabrics that are sitting in Stockholm but no one wants it and some of them goes back to on the 30 40 years old. So we started with this one company called rati in Italy mister tambourine. I was telling you before that I co host this podcast with some money for the UN. We interviewed Sergio tambourine, who was the owner of rati, which is a very important big luxury luxury massive stockroom. It looks so good. I want to go in there. Oh gosh. Like prince and tough at us and this. And then it started from there to go into different manufacturers because all of them has stocks and all of them doesn't want to show these stocks because there was this one company in France like these stocks is actually the sun goes in there. So the sun kind of reacts with the fabric over here. You like that? I love that. No one likes that.

"I didn't mean the thing without I think fashion in general. It is pursued as a kind of like a fun thing, like you know, it's always involved with a cause of parties or celebrities and that made this image that is almost like entertainment industry, which is not. It's basically our business and our living and that's so hard to, I think, easier to cancel a party or a wedding, but it's so hard to cancel a fashion show because it's so so much work and hardship goes into that. And it's also defined our next, I don't know, 6, 7 months of our business. So it's really hard to just skip that. But saying that, I think there should be the element of respect and understanding. And raising awareness, I mean, people don't have even things. And bear in mind, this also blow my mind. It was such a hard winter. Like when this happens. So just leave everything on the side. People will just without blankets, like they don't have a rule for them. They have no heaters. And as you mentioned, I mean, I admire Tamara so much because she just went there. And she just went by haters for the for the people and she tried to buy them suppliers and all this stuff. But obviously in cases that you can't do it, you can't just be there on the ground and have them on firsthand, but I think just being aware and understanding and that's showing one minute silence is I don't know for my way of showing that I'm David them somehow. Yeah, it's difficult. And it was a constant echo through the fashion week. This season, the interestingly fashion week opened officially with the oxfam thrifted secondhand show, which I thought was very interesting putting sustainability first on the agenda. And there were QR codes and posters around the venue about raising money. So it's not like fashion is turning a blind eye, but it is a difficult thing to join together. The creativity of a runway in the celebratory aspect of showing only a collection within this difficult political context, but there's always a difficult political context, right? I mean, we saw it with Ukraine today actually this morning. The Ukrainian fashion week or part of Ukrainian fashion week is being held through the BFC in London. Yeah. I mean, the thing with fashion, I think, is such a I don't really need words for fashion, it's such a visual thing. So you approach so many people all around the world without actually speaking their language. So I think an amazing tool a platform as well. I think same as music, I guess. It just reach beyond borders. And so it's very important to do that. But also understanding that there's things, it's not just about I think fashion became more and more than just, I don't know, trends. Which color is in? And that's not I don't think really anyone cares about that anymore. It's not about that. You know, like we want to know, let me create a fashion collection. Are we how much we are harming the world and it's so hard to say you sustainable. You must be in certain parts. I'm trying to do it with my fabrics, but am I really? If I'm dying that, let's say the old fabric I found that I'm using water all these chemicals. You know, like you need to kind of think really logically and in a long run, like what you creating and the impact it has in the world. And for me, sustainable, I know we are not right now talking about sustainable.

"And he generously agreed. He's wonderful. And while this conversation begins with the heavy context of the earthquake, it's not all turmoil and sadness is actually a thoughtful, quite beautiful discussion about fashion and family and heritage craft and upcycling. He was an upcycle from way back. And the practical work of trying to be more sustainable as an independent fashion designer. Bora has been doing this for years long before sustainability became the next big thing. Now if you'd like to make a donation to the ongoing relief and humanitarian work in turkey and Syria, I'll put some links in the show notes, which as usual, you can find at WWW dot the wardrobe crisis dot com, but now let's hear from Bora aksu. Welcome to the podcast for hello. Thank you very much. Thank you very much for inviting me into your studio. Actually, it's quite lovely. We're surrounded by your books collection. I know. This is my little den, that's what I do my research and stuff, like when I'm in the studio, it's funny thing. I mean, I travel a lot. I can not design in other places. I have to come back to my studio. And do the creative work here, which just became my secret place. Now, we're recording this on the last day of London fashion week and I was lucky enough to attend your beautiful show on Friday. It's also been this week of really harrowing news that's come out of turkey and Syria where on February the 7th or the 6th, there was an enormous magnitude 7.8 earthquake has actually been another report of another earthquake in hatay last night. So I just wanted to start there. You held a minute silence at the beginning of your show. Can you tell us why? It's so devastating, emotionally, as well as like all the other things but it was when it happened, it was like ten days before the show. And I know people not my family and friends, but manufacturers and those guys live there. They have families I have contacts and we should just say your Turkish, not from that region that was affected, but this country actually listeners if you're not in front of a map and you've never been geographically turkey is big, it stretches from the Mediterranean right to the mountains. It borders around to the east and Syria and Iraq to the southeast. Just give us some context about where the earthquake is. So the earthquake happens in the east turkey on the border of Syria but it was because it was so powerful it has such an impact on such a big area. I grow up in Ismail more on the neighbors of the Greece side, like where the islands are. And closely Istanbul. So all my Friends and family always leave that. As you mentioned, I guess such a massive country. But I did travel. And I went to, for example, Garza and tip. Not so long ago and just met with some wonderful people there. So it's kind of like really beyond my mind and understanding how this happens and I know it happens. It happens all around the world, but it's also innovative. I mean, I don't know, showing us that whenever we think we actually conquered the world and the bigger than everything, we actually, nothing against nature really like we just, I mean, we saw that during the pandemic and now we seeing that. Again, in the result of the earthquake, it's just you feel completely helpless.

"And the business and madness of fashion. On February 6th, 2023, a massive earthquake hit southeastern turkey and northern Syria. It was magnitude 7.8. But it's not just the magnitude that matters, it's also about how shallow the quake hits. And it's of course about population density in the communities affected and how the buildings there are built. Now at the epicenter in turkey, the city of gaziantep famous 2000 year old fort was just one of the buildings that collapsed or had to be demolished. I'll share some pictures you can see the before and after it's just so feel so symbolic to see this thing. From the second century, it's lasted all this time and now it's rubble. But that's just one of thousands and thousands. The region is one of the most active earthquake zones, but this quake was the deadliest in Syria since 1822. And in turkey, it killed more people than any other earthquake in 1500 years. Official figures put the death toll beyond imagination. It's 50,000 people or more than 50,000 people, it's completely you can't imagine it, right? And to make matters worse, it had been a really bad winter. I'm sure you saw the heartbreaking footage on the news, rescue workers trying to find survivors in the rubble. People displaced and sheltering in tents with no blankets. It's absolutely grim. But as it slips out of the headlines, it doesn't mean the problems disappear, of course. Now, you might be wondering, why am I talking about this on a fashion podcast well? Firstly, there's a huge textiles and manufacturing connection because turkey is a big producer. And while the factories are mostly elsewhere, gaziantep and other affected provinces are actually significant for the sector too. There's also a lot of cotton produced in turkey and sourcing journal reported that farmers and program partners of the better cotton initiative were among the victims, and also that many ginning facilities and spinners were based in the affected areas.

Already important CPI data will play an even bigger role on Wall Street following the collapse of Silicon Valley and signature banks, investors began repricing fed rate hikes. Last week they anticipated four more, a total of 1%. Now, just one move is baked in and by a small margin as traders bet concern about the banking system will outweigh worries about inflation.

That's right, Michelle Ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky and Chinese president Xi Jinping planning on speaking by video link after she's expected visit to Moscow next week. Ukraine and China have not had direct talks since Russia's invasion began last February. U.S. national security adviser Jake sloven says, a meeting between the two countries is a good idea. It would potentially bring more balance and perspective to the way that the pure PRC is approaching this. And we hope it would continue to dissuade them from choosing to provide lethal assistance to Russia, which is obviously something that we have warned about. China has been trying to position itself as a peace broker in the conflict even offering up a 12 point plan to end hostilities back at the end of February. As a response to the war in Ukraine right on their doorstep, Poland is looking to double its military spending to 4% of GDP that's double the NATO requirement it would make pulling the largest spender per CAPiTA in the military alliance. The country is also planning to double the size of its army to 300,000 troops.

And I quote so interesting to watch former President Bush, who is responsible for getting us into the quicksand of the Middle East and then not winning as he lectures us the terrorists on the right or a bigger problem than those from foreign countries that hate America that are pouring into our country right now. If that is so. Why was he willing to spend trillions of dollars and be responsible for the death of perhaps millions of people? He shouldn't be lecturing us about anything? The World Trade Center came down during his watch, Bush led a failed and uninspiring presidency. He shouldn't be lecturing anybody. End of quote, and there is the stinging hard truth. That again when we eventually did have the Taliban and Osama bin Laden on the run in Tora Bora, Afghanistan, we let him escape. We then shifted gears into Iraq took her eye off the ball, and that has led to 20 Year War of Nation building and trying to impose our faith and beliefs and value systems on 1/7 century country. I'm not going to happen. It was a dumb mistake. And there were a lot of mistakes made by the Bush administration by the FBI by the CIA, Uh and all of the above President, Trump said The big lies the presidential election of 2020. When the fake news media uses that term. Always remember that it was the election that is now destroying our country, both inside And out. And finally, I don't know if you solve the picture in Shanksville the other day, but there were approximately 7 to 8 Children that pose for a picture with Chairman Jo. Uh, And either most of the Children were wearing trump hats or maga gear or pro Trump T shirts. One actually had a picture of President Trump wearing sunglasses on his T shirt. And former President Trump issued the absolute perfect statement to take a dig at Chairman Jo yesterday, he says, in case you missed it. Joe Biden meets with Trump supporters.

"From western pakistan to eastern pakistan. Now anyone who is involved in planning that attack on the indian parliament knew that at a minimum that would happen a maximum. It might have started a war between india and pakistan and one of the most interesting unresolved questions yves talks about it. But he doesn't have the answer. I don't have the answer either. Is who made that happen. Who came up with that decision. And what role did osama bin laden play that. Sorry to disappoint you. the answer. That question is not in this book. It's probably in the archives of the isi and those are planned to be open to the world sometime. Well actually. there is no plan to ever open simpler. Let's step back from this for a minute. Because i think one of the interesting things you do at the end of the book is contrast president bush's handling of this operation in tora bora in two thousand one with president obama's handling of the raid to go after osama bin laden in two thousand eleven. And just quote what you say. Ultimately the manner in which george w bush and barack obama interacted with their military subordinates shaped the outcomes of their operations to kill or capture osama bin laden president bush's and secretary rumsfeld's absent role in the battle of tora. Bora insured bin. Laden's escape will president obama's active involvement in the book about raid prevented the operation from going iraq. Say a little more about contrasting styles and what president obama did. The president. Bush didn't do share. I do want to point out initially that these are very different. Circumstances nation was at war in a moment of crisis in nine eleven and at tora bora that was not the same case in two thousand eleven. And planning the raid. They're different circumstances but what brings them together is. Both presidents had an opportunity to go. After bin laden there was a level of uncertainty and both had to deal with the military and going forward. I mentioned a little bit already. That president bush and secretary rumsfeld were not engage at all at what was going on tora bora in contrast when you look at the way. President obama handles the military. He had a level of active active involvement. That really got out down into practically every detail as you may know when the abbad rate occurred at the two helicopters were moving towards the compound. The first one went down and it actually crashed at to crash. Land was disabled. while during the planning process. President obama looked at the resources dedicated for the battle. And he said i'm sorry. This is not enough. We don't have enough individuals to allow the seals to battle the way out of pakistan. If they have to. And we don't have enough resources in case something goes wrong. So he specified that up to four additional helicopters. Were to go on the raid to landed in the middle of nowhere and pakistan's at a riverbed and waited too on the afghan side. That first helicopter went down. The other one was ready to go came over immediately. It's about a. I think a ninety minute flight. I'm sorry maybe forty five minute flight about about it took the pakistani military much less than that time to respond to the the downed aircraft message. So had there not been those those helicopters there we have been looking at a major international incident where navy seals were battling pakistani military forces. They could have been an extraordinarily different difficult circumstance and because president obama really got down in the details we can say the operation went off without a major hitch. I do want to say so that this can be looked at really politically. And i don't mean for it to be that case. Because president obama or president bush really felt filled his role and stepped into it. As you got more involved into his into his presidency. If you look at the way that he handled the surge in two thousand six in two thousand seven he listened to the military advice and he overruled them and so he did get down into the details. He did examine the information necessary. And i think he did the right thing so. I hope that it's not considered a political comparison. Because it's just two different instances in time where they're both going after bin laden underscore that point. This is this is not an advertisement for the dnc and after president obama's now running again so it'd be a waste of the dnc. He's tired what it is trying to do. Is take a look at leadership role of leadership and the lessons that we can learn from all of this to be fair to the bush administration. They were responding to an extraordinary event. The attack of nine eleven which created a sense of panic in the united states. They nervous breakdown if you wanted to. There was a sense that any moment there could be another attack on the united states of america. President obama in two thousand eleven was in a very different place. There wasn't a sense of imminent threat to the united states homeland and he had the opportunity to spend as much time as he wanted to before he decided to send in the seals. If he'd wanted to wait another month he there was. Nobody was no pressure coming from the outside world because none of us knew what he and his inner circle knew that they had a reasonable belief that they'd found a lot so accepting these differences. I think that the other big question. That i just want to close my part of this interview with you is. What are the lessons learned if you look at two thousand one. A failure of the counter terrorism mission. What lessons can we learn from out about future counterterrorism missions and future military operations and intelligence operations like this show actually like to go back to point and very quickly before i address it. One of my professors who i consider close mentor wasn't a high level position during this time in two thousand and one and he was at the nine eleven site a couple of weeks later with vice president. Cheney and he gets a call from stephen hadley who was the deputy national security advisor saying that the biotoxin detectors in the white house had gone off and apparently it was botulinum and in twenty four hours. Everybody in the white house would be dead if it was an actual attack so he had to go over while at the nine eleven site. That is still smoldering and tell the vice president that and begin to plan for the chain of succession then..

"So His gift of the Taliban was Ackman Bashar Masoud's head on a platter because he was seeking to kind of mollify them. My guests. Peter Bergen. We're talking about his book, The rise and fall of Osama bin Laden. This is where I want to ask you to read a bit of your book. So F in 1996. We talked about these anniversaries. The U. S issued a fact sheet on bin Laden and you were working at CNN and you realized this was unusual. First of all, I'm gonna ask you to read a bit from book but what struck you about it and what led you to make moves to try to contact bin Laden's people? I was living in New York in the early nineties. And so when the trade center blew up, you know what was striking to me was so many of the people involved in that attack like Ramzi Yousef. It was leader had something to the Afghan war against the Soviets, and I went to my bosses at CNN and said, Hey, can we kind of investigate this further and they said fine. And Peter Arnett, Peter on that the, uh, well known CNN correspondent myself. Two others went to Afghanistan to kind of investigate this phenomenon in 96. When I saw this white paper from the State Department about bin Laden was, I thought, Well, maybe he's the leader of this group that attacked the trade center in 93. It wasn't quite right. Um, but when I went back to my bosses at CNN, and they very kindly said Yes, we they'd never heard of bin Laden. He was not a household name at the time. They said Fine. We went to Taliban control of Afghanistan when we met with him. Um, but you know, he was the leader of this this group. He wasn't directly involved in the first Trade center attack, but he was savvy the leader of this kind of jihadist movement in Afghanistan. So that's how That was kind of the thought process there. Would you read for us on Page 80 for starting with the paragraph one evening. One evening event pulled up filled with heavily armed men. We all piled in and were given glasses with pieces of cardboard stuck in them that acted as crude blindfolds. And were driven up into the mountains surrounding Jalalabad. Then it was night and we passed through cordons of security. The Lord's body guards armed with AK 40 sevens and rocket propelled grenades occasionally checked us as we grow slowly up a rocky track into the dark peaks of Tora Bora. We were told that now is the time to admit if we had a tracking device secreted on our persons, and nothing would happen to us. However, if they were to find such a device later on, there would be serious consequences. The cameraman Peter Juvenal, interpret this as meeting your head's gonna get chopped off. At one point bin Laden's man Ryan, some kind of detector up and down our bodies. As it turned out, the detector wasn't working. But Al Qaeda's leaders thought it was important to make the suit. CNN crew believed that it was which they laid a joked about with bin Laden. We arrived at a small plateau in the center of which was a mud built a mud building likely for sheltering sheep in the bitter winters. Inside. There were a dozen armed men. After somehow has been laden appeared out of the darkness. Walking with the aid of a came Al Qaeda. Al Qaida's leader was very tall, rail thin, soft spoken and comported himself like a cleric. Had a feline presence, which was quite different from the angry table thumping revolutionary. We expected Bin Laden shook juveniles hand It was a limp, cold handshake, sort of like shaking hands with a fish. Seated on the floor, wearing a camouflage jacket, his AK 40 47 prop next to him and sipping copious amounts of tea. Bin Laden said that he was declaring war against the United States because of the seemingly permanent U. S military presence in the Holy Land of Arabia. Also because of American support for Israel. During the interview, and ambiguous, thin smile sometimes played across bin Laden's face. Said nothing about opposing Western freedoms or values, motivations that would be later ascribed to him by the Bush administration as a reason that he attacked the United States on 9 11. How is Peter Bergen Reading from his book, The Rise and Fall Osama bin Laden. How did he strike you as a dangerous person? Uh, you know, If you would, uh, gone to a Munich beer hall and saw Hitler in the 19 twenties, ranting, a raving about being stabbed in the back during World War one and the ranting about the Jews. I mean, Would he have struck you? As a dangerous person put, the answer is probably not And so you know, it's same with mean bin Laden. Hitler are very different people, obviously, but they both clock. They both changed history in different ways been locked very much smaller scale them than Hitler. But No, I didn't I What I took away from the meeting was this guy was deadly serious and the people around him were deadly serious. But how do you implement a war against United States? And you know, from the middle in in Afghanistan. Which would would Yeah, At this point, the Taliban had really taken back to the Middle Ages. It just seemed like that was, Yeah. It seemed unlikely even though that everybody seemed very serious around him, and he seemed quite serious. You know, sometimes when you have those occasions Something comes to you much later. About the encounter. Did you have that experience at all? Or something. Some light bulb went on when you heard him. Mean the light bulb was pretty obvious, which is when when Al Qaeda blows up two American embassies within nine minutes of each other thousands of miles from its base, Afghanistan on August 7th 1998. You know, then you just just became clear that this was not provided. Um, and that This was deadly serious. So you know, I People make threats all the time. The question is, you know one of the capabilities and it wasn't really clear that Bin Laden have these capabilities. Until that attack. That was part two of my conversation with Peter Bergen about his book, The Rise and Fall of Osama bin Laden. This month, full bio read, and the next installment will look at what the Clinton and Bush administrations did and didn't know and what they did and didn't do in the years before 9 11 2001 That's tomorrow.

They try to trade their players to where they want to anthony davis. They had better deals from boston. Maybe even new york. They're like no he's gonna play with. Lebron is not gonna play. They just bullied. The league team. Got to stand up and say i paid your guy. He can't bully me a trade him and meet and have me take some trash back.

There secretly held the meeting face to face with abdul. Ghani bara dr It's the highest face to face encounter between the taliban in the bite administration boras also man who met with Titrate state mike pompeo last year. I'm joined by byron. York of the washington examiner byron does that maybe give us the clues to why the administration is being so secretive as to what is going on and the timeline in kabul hallel byron. You might be on go ahead. you're on now okay. It could but it underscores the perhaps the ugliest fact of this entire affair which is that. The united states is dependent on the good graces of the taliban. It sounds insane to say that but we are dependent on the good graces of the taliban to get americans out american citizens american Not forces and those Afghans who aided the american military effort. So the the fact that you know. We're having meetings with the taliban. In which in this case i think has to be done. Underscores the dependence position that the president has put us in here now bar. Dr of course does not control al qaeda or isis or any of the other splinter groups. That are there. It is unclear to me whether or not we actually have operational security guarantees from the taliban. But the thing that i'm certain about we don't know how many americans are there and i doubt that the united states government does but do you think they have at least a minimum number. They might release to us byron. Well i was relieved to find out yesterday that there are not stranded not stranded because the white house told me that But i think it's an well. Let's say this if the if the us government knows how many americans are there and he's not saying I don't know the explanation for that. But i'm taking them at their word that they literally do not know how many americans are in afghanistan

"This is a good one. Michael Anton is terrific, right? We've had him as a guest on the show. Now, I think twice spent on my Fox news show as well. The pieces in the American minds called Afghanistan doing from the start now, Michael Anton Calls out the swamp but admits Hey, listen, I was in there he was in the national security infrastructure team. The Bush administration and also the Trump administration. But he's been in my opinion, a truth teller on these issues. And let's bring up the idea of revenge first, and we'll go into another point. He makes about how the left and the the the world utopians always like to celebrate diversity. And yet when you bring up the idea of diversity, and that cultures may view democracy differently. Representative democracy then it's considered racist. You can't say that Well, we'll say what we want, because it's not racist. It's factually accurate, but getting back to the whole idea of revenge is, Congressman Crenshaw said this morning, not being a strategy. It absolutely is. Anton says this These are quoting Machiavelli. He says. The Romans Machiavelli says made their wars short and big. Americans have taken to making our wars small and long. We inflict pinprick strikes over decades rather than getting the whole thing over within a matter of days or weeks. A better strategy right after 9 11 would have been to do what we did, but finish the job at Tora Bora and then leave immediately with a note on the fridge, saying, if you do anything like that again, We'll be back quickly. With overwhelming force. And we'll leave just as quickly. We will do that as many times as you

"That time frame that might cause that price to change well. Travel is an extremely dynamic environment and the airlines can change a fair at any moment and so the systems are working hard to make sure that they're up to date and the longer you stay stagnant on the as like if you go away and you go cook dinner new. Come back the more chances you have of that happening. So we typically want customers to either do a fresh search so they don't experience that or purchase. If you know you want it because sometimes that price won't be there later. Yeah so dynamic. Pricing is something that you hear. Come up all the time. What are those factors that might go into this dynamic pricing so airlines typically. They monitor each other. Let's a constant thing is looking at the competition and seeing what the fares look like that. Come through another factor is you know is my changing capacity so too i have less planes. Two more planes right. Now you're dealing with the seven. Thirty seven max rates so you have certain airlines that have a lot of capacity sitting and so that means that they're running other planes so their pricing might be a little higher. They could also price lower right because they want to keep the demand going. So typically you'll see prices fluctuate as you come in closer to a weekend if especially if that is a holiday and also for hotels. It's all again going to be a play on what's going on house my inventory like. Let's say they had a convention in a cancelled. Well there's eighty percent capacity right that they've gotta fill all of a sudden so of the stuff is so dynamic that's why they don't have algorithms running their revenue management. They've got hundreds of people doing this. Because the environment changes quite a bit which is a little bit nerve racking. I guess for a traveller but that's sort of the nature of the industry right it just proves how dynamic environment really is absolutely so amy. What are some of the tips that you give your friends and family. All my family thinks travel agent. They still have never understand what i do. They so call me the book all their travel. Typically for me. When i'm looking at going somewhere it's always. Where do i wanna be close into. Do i want to be by the beach. do i wanna walk. Do i want to rent a car. And i kind of base where. I'm going to stay on that. So we've got some great maps on the site. Show you where the hotels located. I think that's key. I've had a couple of friends who've worked packages right and they're going to cancun and they ended up in loom and didn't realize you had to take like a forty five minute car ride to the hotel so it's kind of understanding okay from traveling with three kids. I probably wanna be getting to my destination. Pretty quickly traveling a super stressful with security. And everything else nowadays. That i look to. How can i get to my destination. Easiest the most comfortable est if that's such a word and obviously in a cheaper way what are some of the ways to do things a little bit cheaper than typically staying over week you get. Some better deals our saturday night. Stable fight in hotel. Do offer better deals in that way. If i'm going on a weekend then the key is obviously coming back on monday. That's what everybody does so you look at or even on sunday. So maybe if you can come back on tuesday so kind of looking around. Typically sundays right. That's what everybody's gonna wanna do is come back so you can save quite a bit even coming back on a late saturday checking for the one day later or the one day earlier and seeing how that might sort of affect your trip in the cost of things exactly. Yeah on the departure and arrival on both. Sometimes i've gone somewhere. I wanted to go for new year's eve. We came back nears. Even i saved eight hundred dollars. I didn't really need to be in that island news day so it's just little things like that you know where you're like. Well you saved eight hundred bucks. You can go do something else with that money. Yeah absolutely. I mean eight hundred dollars. That's pretty crazy saving. It's true we talked a lot about sort of bundling. Are you big proponent of that as well like have you seen some decent savings yourself i have. I have some great packages to saint martin before the hurricanes. Such a beautiful place. And i am a proponent just because the industry and i know how the filing works right the filing of the fares and the filing of the rate plans hoteliers value package customers in that. They know they're less likely to cancel. They're less likely to change. Meaning they're kind of in and it's a different kind of customer that books a package. You don't book them all the time right. And it's usually a family trip or a romantic vacation or a honeymoon so hoteliers are definitely incentivized. As well as flights to get better deals when you bundle and again it goes back to them being able to give a better deal that their competitors can't figure out last summer my cousin was getting married and i very very classically waited until the last minute to book it. Even though i knew a year beforehand that she was getting married in spain so abou- maybe six weeks l. I go into book for me and my husband. I just knew that the prices were going to be really tough so i started like searching and you know. We had some flexibility. We wanted to have a little bit of free time like before or after the wedding. So i was checking all these different reasons and then i actually decided to at a hotel for one night and i started searching as a package because at that point i needed a hotel and my flights were each at the time when i was just looking at the flights each one was fifteen hundred dollars and then when i added the hotel in madrid for one night the entire trip for two flights plus the hotel became fifteen hundred dollars so literally adding a hotel for one night in madrid. Saved fifteen hundred dollars. I was like shocked which is really funny. Because a work at expedia and i know that bundling helps you save typically. I've saved at most one or two hundred dollars. I've never saved anything to that tune. So ever since then i feel like whenever i go to search for our i'm like oh my god. I need to look at a package. So it disproves what we're saying. Yeah amazing right amy. So where are you headed to next. Where's your next vacation to. That's a good one. My dream vacation is bora bora. But i've heard maldives is kind of the cheaper version. That's more romantic. Though so i probably will pick something me and my daughter and my mom i did. Just go chill on the beach. And i did some cruising to aruba in accra sows. So i'd like to go back and stay in aruba you. I recently saw some research about the importance of mothers and daughters traveling together and how it creates this sort of extra moment of connection bonding so very on trend. Amy for you to do. You're really on top of the trend seized as i must say there we go. Yeah very into it all right. Amy thank you so much for coming on the show today. It was a pleasure to have you. Thank you so much for inviting me..

Let's talk about her. Yes so this woman has allegedly and apparently apparently been taking on different like black and afro sport identities throughout her life. She's an a professor or was a professor and academic where george washington university and university teaching. You know black studies are afrikaner studies and publishing books but at some point she were shifting from being in a north african to being african american and then being afro latin next sand after boaty gua was i think the final landing place for her her official forum her final warm so jessica. Krog just aka justifiable maleta hers combination of black fishing and being a fake tina at the same time and She got called out basically rightfully so rightfully so by a group of professors who are after latina's who had issues with her they were witness to or on the receiving end of like aggression from her and like prejudice and bad behavior while she was masquerading as after let nine different contexts. Apparently being super like belligerent towards black women in my on cool and really I think overcompensating and so trying to be an ex sorted extreme caricature of like this south bronx like her. Allegedly her mother was like a drug addicts prostitutes like this narrative that should created about herself so black women in the academy you know began talking about these different experiences and came forward and said This is not right. Yeah she was definitely performing like whoa kness being extreme radical like it was very performative. She was a published academic author and she also received a ton of accolades rice. She received she was a finalist. For the twenty twenty frederick douglass prize book prize presented by yale's gilder lehrman center the study of slavery resistance and abolition. She also was nominated or a finalist for the twenty thousand nine.

"bora" Discussed on KQED Radio
"Her daughter, Stephanie Boras and her sister who took one for the team. Julie Hankins. The next go around, they hope will not take anywhere near as long. In Florida In late December. Governor Rhonda Santa's broke with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At that point in the pandemic, the CDC wanted to target people 75 older and frontline. Essential workers for vaccination dissent is stressed The CDC guidelines were advisory. They do not bind states and they do not find Individual governors and they will not bind the state of Florida. So let me just be very, very clear. Our vaccines are going to be targeted for our elderly population. So he said. 65 or older could get shots and that set off a stampede of sorts. Jeff Johnson is the AARP s state director for Florida and he joins us now. Hey, there. Hey, great to talk to them. Just for reference Right now. In West Virginia, they have gotten at least one shot into 11% of their population, according to The New York Times, Florida is at about 8.4% so middle of the road. What does that look like on the ground there? What's the process in Florida for getting in a vaccination line? I think one of the challenges that we face right now is that there isn't a process per se. There are a lot of different channels a lot of different lines to stand it. Fortunately, and I know of people across the country saw images of people camping out overnight to get into a vaccination clinic early in the process. And fortunately that really isn't the case anymore. Most of the processes are online sign ups, but still it's awfully confusing because there are so many different options to go in. None of them are particularly successful either just because there's not yet Enough vaccinations being offered for people to get the appointments that they want. So tell me what that looks like. I mean, if I am someone who wants to get a vaccine, and I fit into the criteria for the state of Florida, I mean, where do I have to look? So if you're 65 men over, you can go to your local county Health department. You can go Tonto local pharmacy public's pharmacies currently offered, you could go through a local hospital. Most of them offer appointment windows. So, for instance, what has been happening as people find out, perhaps by email, perhaps, frankly, by social media that one of those channels is going toe open for appointments at let's say 6 A.m. on a Tuesday and they'll find out on Monday. They'll have to log into their computer at 6 A.m., and then they'll have to compete as if you were trying to get you know, concert tickets or Hamilton tickets or something like that. Except instead of for something fun. This is for a lifesaving vaccine that they see it as a ticket to be able to resume their normal life. And talk to me a little bit about how challenging this must be. You may not be on Twitter. Let's face it if you are 75 or older, you know, you may have problem with Internet connection specifically if you're in part of the more vulnerable populations. Yeah, One of the things that we had a therapy have been trying to say, is to take Bit of empathy and to think through what this looks like. For somebody who is a person you want to get vaccinated, which is a pretty variable lot When you think about people 65 over. There are plenty of 65 year olds who are far better technology than I am course there are plenty and then there are plenty of 65 year old who have a flip phone and no Internet connectivity. And so It is been maddeningly frustrating for therapy members and others. That's what we continue to hear is anger and frustration that this is so hard and I will say every roll out of a major program has a chaos phase at the beginning where it's very difficult to figure out what's going on. We're beginning to see some of the channels adapt what they're doing. The state has offered a statewide Not only website that you can get registered on but also a phone system. For those who don't have that technology, which is good, and we're also seeing some of the local county health departments begin to shift away from this contest of opening appointment slots, too. More of a line where we will call you when it's your time to go Look for an appointment so that we're not opening the doors for, you know, 10 times as many people as there are appointments. There have also been a lot of stories about vaccine tourism in Florida people coming in from other states, other countries even to get shots there. Authorities tightened residency restrictions late last month. How did that complicate Florida's rollout? In your view? It's a challenging set of issues. That may be unusual. Maybe not unique, but unusual for Florida because we have so many Herschel Year resident Snowbirds is they're commonly called, who spent a fair bit of time here in Florida in the winter months, but lives somewhere else full time as their permanent residents. And so those folks are in our community and Certainly it makes sense if we're trying to make this community safe to include them in the vaccination process. So yes, the late last month governor set parameters Florida residents and those with short term leases. So in other words, snowbirds to try to close off the stories that we've heard of people coming in from outside to get vaccinated here. And that seems to have adapted the way things have rolled out. We should also say the Florida has many undocumented workers as well as others on temporary agricultural visas, who now can't get vaccinated. That might not make great public health sense either. I think you're right. I think at the point at which the initial crush of interest from this group begins to receive that is as people who are, you know, refreshing their browser every five seconds. Begin to actually get appointments and get vaccinated. I think that that is one of the conversations that I would hope the state has is. What point do those restrictions to kind of narrow The field at this point, widen out a little, and that is one of the parts of our population. That policy leaders we're gonna have to go back and reflect on.

Healthy Eating vs. Pseudo Healthy Eating with Shawndi Borup
"Well, I'm hello and welcome to another edition of the brake cables are cast going to plug wiring noise and the outfit and Fitness World and today off and super honor and have Sean D Bora in the house of show me all the living. So if you can't guess what she's all about it is all about healthy living and Tony is a healthy living wage. It's certified fermentationist a woman after my own heart there and a real food chef who is all about just being living proof that implementing a simple healthy. Lifestyle and healthy habits really promotes Optimal Health and well-being and just really making that easy and accessible to many folks who make to even just overwhelmed about getting back to the kitchen. And so don't you think so much for coming onto the show today? If you could give us a little bit of background about who you are and what sort you into doing the work they're doing in the world thinks long and it's a pleasure to be here such an honor to be part of your podcast and I I love you know, what you do what what this podcast is all about about breaking the rules and we'll get in touch with that and and how that applies to what what I can help your audience to really Implement especially in this time, but my back story, you know, it starts about three decades ago, and it was in the I was I had three young children and they all had their own little chronic issues, but my oldest daughter was she was the most ill with severe asthma and and so I thought Sitting in the rocking chair giving her another breathing treatment in the middle of the night and it just the thought came to me. There has to be a better way and thought just kept cycling through my mind, even though I was doing everything that I possibly knew how to do what to do. And so I was determined that night to find a better way. And so I ended up going to Rome a holistic practitioner and he gave me one sheet of paper and on that one sheet of paper was a list of you know, a list of foods that really nourish and feed the body and I I took that home and I you know, I'm a really competitive person and I decided okay, I'm going to I'm going to do this for one year and I'm going to prove that that food couldn't possibly make that much of a difference in the life in the health of my family and not as dealing with my own chronic issues at the time. I had chronic tendonitis and it was really hard to put shoes and socks on my children and I couldn't go bowling birth. You know do cartwheels in the yard with them or anything either because I was in so much pain and I kind of ignored it. You know, I was just in my late twenties at the time and I thought oh this just you know was is not really happening and I remember going to the doctor for my wrists and he handed me a prescription and he said, oh, he said you just got tendonitis and I said great. How long do I have to take this, you know as an anti-inflammatory em said for the rest of your life and that of course didn't sit well with me and I just had a I had a couple of those experiences my daughter would seem to get worse with her asthma and allergies when I gave her cow's milk. And so I asked the pediatrician do you think it would help if I took her off of this and she said it won't make any difference at all. And you know, that's again one of my mother raised tuition that gut feeling said into me like, okay, you need to try this anyways, and so that's what I did is I just started, you know, I took the information from this holistic practitioner that really phone On the whole body and under you know, not just symptoms but really building building a strong immune system really was all what this was all about. And I remember sitting on my couch dog doing my weekly menu. I had my dry erase board on my lap and I looked at the one sheet of paper and everything that he suggested eating and then on the other side of the couch. I had all my recipes the things that I knew how to do home and nothing match up and I and he was a proponent of eating a lot of raw food at least half of your plate because it's the enzymes in raw food that help digest your food and you know Concepts that we're totally foreign to me a hundred and eighty degrees away from the standard American diet, which I had grown up on and and new and so I just started getting back in the office and that's where I started and I started, you know, eliminating refined sugar refined flour, which of course as we you know, it's more talked about today drives blood sugar in the body. Which dog Ives Cravings which drives inflammation which drives chronic illness and so I just started, you know doing one thing at a time and one thing I learned about helping people get back in the kitchen is that if you try to do everything at once you're just going to get overwhelmed and that's when we feel stuck and we stop and so I really emphasize with people that you know, we know that we should be eating, you know, more vegetables. We know that we should be eating less sugar. But how do we make that happen? You know, how do we apply that in in our eating today? So that's where I show me healthy living came about because I wanted to help people to really practice how to feel their best. So that's amazing. I think experience is always off teacher and the mother of all Innovation. And so how long have you been at this and how long did it even take you to kind of get into that seat of showing people healthy eating from like learning wage? Healthy eating right? So I've been teaching people for gosh. I would say fifteen years now probably half of long, you know half of the amount of time that I've been doing it, but you know, I I started this journey, like I said about three decades ago and you know, I I told you that I was going to do that experiment for one year and proved it wrong that food couldn't make sure we make that difference but actually after a year my children's, you know, chronic health issues had completely gone away and there it was so amazing to watch

Coronacast
Why have three community cases suddenly popped up in NSW?
"So Norman in new, South Wales we had twelve days without any luckily quiet cases and we were feeling really good about it but then yesterday they had three new cases that were from community transmission and at least the reporting. That, we have at the time of recording current cost. We didn't think that they were actually linked to each other. So how did this happen? Well, you can only speculate eventually it will be explained we you would hope that it's not entirely a mystery that with genomic testing, we can find out perhaps what viruses their most closely linked to. So really won't stay a mystery for too long. So on the one hand, it's spread from known sources which are not, which is not readily apparent, but it is a worry because you don't wear they'd been you don't know who they might spread it to the just a lot of unknowns here. Even if you could say, well, originally did from the Crossroads Hotel and Salah or something like that all those weeks ago. The other thing that can happen with this virus is that it goes underground with asymmetric spread in a community. Of people who are younger to know they've got it or might not be coming forward for testing. So remember testing a New South Wales has plummeted and really far far too low when twenty or thirty, thousand people a day should be being tested at least twenty thousand and we're done below ten thousand and happy enough for a few days. So people are being tested and therefore we're going to get more and more surprises like this and in Washington states in the United States. Beginning this pandemic would underground for six weeks before papa game after somebody arrived. From China. So this is what this virus can do, and we've just go to keep alert. So three potentially unrelated cases maybe they are related, we just don't know yet. What does that say about how much more virus that probably is out there under the writer it obviously means there is more virus out there than we thought even if we know where it came from because reach, these three people were got to. Find out who the spread it to the last few days and really get out there and do a lot of contact tracing a lot of testing and hopefully people will come forward. So the Risto virus is there much. We don't know that's why they're doing sewage testing. You might remember that sewage testing did indicate a problem in south West Sydney the other day and Hawkesbury, but we find any cases in the Hawkesbury catchment. But this does mean there's fire is out there and you cannot relax. It also puts paid to this notion that we're going to go twenty eight days without community transmission before Boras Open Up. That ain't going to happen I. Don't think they ever get to that milestone to think so and so the tolerance of states like Queensland to do this is going to have to be a much higher tolerance than it is at the moment possibly even have to wait till the election so that doesn't become a political issue. So you think we need different thresholds for opening up again. Is that what you're saying? Yes, I mean I think that the key is you're going to get cases popping. Up like this, almost certainly, and the question is how much community spread has there been from name to others and do you know where that's come from and if you get the sense that New South Wales and hopefully Victoria quite soon knows where cases of come from who they spread it to and they're on top of it under on top of it quickly. Then the risks while the states really is pretty low, but it's not nothing. Well, there was some good news out of Victoria overnight where. that. Number of new cases has dropped back down again on these six new cases yesterday, and most of them seem to be clustered around these Chad Ston shopping center outbreak, which we know about. But there's a big group of doctors in Victoria who are against lockdown measures and they put out a open letter sort of saying that the lockdown measures are causing more health homs than they are good because people isolated that young people are being sort of stopped from. Going to school and socializing, and they're actually really low risk and that the risk of carbon to the general population is much lower than the risk of health negative health outcomes because of being isolated long these are serious issues and I'm sure these doctors care a lot about it. Some of them a little bit of overlap with a group of doctors who wrote to I think quarter magazine a few weeks ago stating similar things and it so we. Could problem I mean what do you do if in fact you had done what some people were arguing for, which is the end of September that the premier of Victoria should have really let foot off the brake both things go back to normal for all these reasons as well as for covering the economy. Then the predictions from the Burnet Institute's mathematical modeling was the the return hundreds of cases in a very short space of time I think that's been. Borne out when you've seen outbreaks like the chat stone shopping. Center outbreak and so on. So it doesn't take much for this to fuel up and I think that Victorians do not want to have gone through least Melburnians do not want gone through all this to have stop start going on and still having significant virus spreading. So I think that's the problem is that you've got the fuel for the fire there if you don't lockdown than the fuel can actually. Again and you can get significant numbers of people and the people. The people who are exposed are doctors, nurses, h care workers, even receptionists and others in care facilities. We haven't got that much better at controlling. It is just that we've got a bit better and they're still going to be vulnerable as well as the aged and infirm and I think the we said as a society that's not what we want and on the other side, there's no question that there's going to be mental health problems. Economic problems people are turning up late for the cancer diagnosis turning up. Late when they're acutely ill in the emergency department, all these things are happening. No question. The argument is a good one to make is just the answer is not simple, and if you'd let your food off the break earlier, we would have gone back to a major pandemic in Victoria very quickly as it stands, it's just getting under control and a few weeks from now, it should be much more under control a suspect it's not going to get to zero, but much more under control and the contact tracing testing regime should be able to control it with things like sewage. And testing of things. So don't think that we're too far apart on this but say right now we should be letting things off is probably a mistake and a he would be supported by any more balloons and just on that the number of healthcare workers in Victoria that are getting infected. We've got an update on that. Don't wait about numbers come right down. So things are getting under control. They're getting out of control on partly because community spread is under control. So people are not bringing it in, but really the major spread was within hospitals needs care centers themselves, and that is really is coming under control, which is a good thing. So

Marianna Leivaditaki's Chestnut Onion Stew Recipe
"Hello My name is Marina Boulevard key and I am from Crete half creighton and half Scottish Ashley I am a chef and I work here in London. And have been doing. So for many years, I was the head chef Mario and currently the head chef at Maurito at Hackney road. The race appeared like to share with you today is a chestnut and onion stew with the option of adding Pumpkin to it. So dishes really simple. A slow cooked stews. So you just need to create a really small base and sweet base using finely chopped carrots and celery and garlic and kind of cutting them really small and putting them in a pan with a little bit of olive oil and making sure they're nice and sweet. So cooking them for about fifteen to twenty minutes and then adding lots and lots of baby onions. So I like to use the Bora tiny. Tyler onions because they're small the really sweet and they're quite mild. So depending on how many people I want to do this do for I locate about five to seven baby onions, per-portion sa- loads, and loads, and this will make you really really beautiful. So after your base is nice and sweet, you just add the onions and then you add your cooked chestnuts. So of course, you can use chestnuts that you cook and you. Peel, but that will take a very long time. So I like to use good quality vacuum packed chestnuts. So I would say you kind of us about one hundred, one, hundred, twenty grams of chestnuts per portion just to be really nice and generous, and this is kind of what this is about using chestnuts instead of meat. So it's adding this kind of really really nice richness to this to that meat word if you using. That so you get everything in the port you add some really good quality chopped tomatoes a nice amount of red wine you season with salt and pepper, and a little bit of Orange Peel, a cinnamon stick, and you just make sure your port is nice and liquidity and there's enough liquid to kind of let this to cook gently few think the reason you can always add some wine or you can just add some water. Place a lead and just let it simmer for half an hour forty minutes just until it start smelling beautifully, you will be able to smell the orange and the cinnamon. When you take the laid off, you will see actually this source has really thickened and this Jew is just absolutely delicious. I wouldn't say it needs more than forty five minutes send. Another amazing ingredient to add that is very seasonal at the moment is. The pumpkin or the butternut squash or any funny squash that you might come across. You can just peel it Q-bert and added in this do at the same time with your base, your salary and your carrot, your onions. So I think here in London I don't often see chestnuts Jews and it's a true. That's very traditional in Greece in the winter months and it's absolutely amazing like if you go up the mountains, you know you. Might Walk into Taverna. The is run by an old granny and before you even kind of you just open the door and you're like, okay, she's Cook Chestnuts Stu. You know. So it's something that you find, but it's something that is also special. So it's not everywhere. It's not in every TAVERNA eater you go two sets a win today sheets really warming at celebrating chestnut, which you know are just absolutely amazing and I love them. And, it's a dish that I recently I collaborated with this amazing new project called wild radish, and this is my dish for Christmas together with lots of other things. So it's a little bit more elaborate, but the main stew is this chestnut and nonunion stew and it's been fantastic collaborating with world radish because it's just an amazing new project asking US sheriffs and other really really lovely beautiful capable sheriff's. To think of dishes they love Cook them, create them, write them down, and then they make them really easy for everyone to do. So you receive this amazing box with

And you Talk. I'll pull this bus over and kick you. And if you get up without asking to go to the restroom, you will get DP. So what is dp me? Disciplined, physically physically disciplined, And if they do hear some talking, they're going to stop the bus Pull you off the bus. Give you a little bit of what they call it. They used to call it.

It was three days going from prison, a prison of prison prison prison collect and everybody that was going to the shu in other places, and we went all the way up north to Crescent City, which is like Eureka. Oh, you're almost in Oregon and I actually went through organ to get to Pelican Bank Indian stopped at one of the prisons and you'll stay there overnight. And sometimes they put you to say you've been a hallway just sitting on a bench all night waiting on them to come get me, But I say it is nice. Uh, I've had some hippie, right? I believe you, but not like Mambo Alley. My name's Elita Bora. I served 12 little over 12 years in the California Department of Corrections been home about four years now. Back and wanted to say was around 2008. I got transfer away from San Quentin because they needed the cells for hire custody, incarcerated people so They shipped me off to California Men's colony. Okay. But the thing that is really difficult for Ali is that he had been taking college classes at San Quentin, right, And they don't have a program like that at CMC. So when he got transferred All of that stopped. And so I Li started doing everything he could to get back to San Quentin. The executive director of college programs like Live Just Hang tight. We're going to try to get you back so you can finish your college degree. I was like, OK, cool. Pretty soon Ali got called to a classifications here, which is an administrative thing you have to do before your transfer. So they called me two classifications like Yeah, she did it. She's get me back to San Quentin. So I go up in the classifications hearing and they're like, Yeah, we'll put you up for transfer and I'm just sitting there. Got my arms folded a little bit, You know, thinking, Yeah, they did this. This is yeah. You go into an out of state facility. Out of state facility. Yeah, they used to do that do that. It was common when the federal courts told California tto Lord overcrowded and as was like you've got to be kidding me. I'm supposed to be going back to San Quit in the classification hearings. They don't even let you talk man. I tried to talk. They just like well about to bring that up with your counselor and went back to the dorm. I was devastated. So Ali, facing another long ride on the great ghouls. This time he's headed out of state and a world away from San Quentin in the college classes, and it's like when you move anywhere. It's like you're starting a new life on ly In this situation. You have no control over it. You have no idea what that life is going to be. You're taking away from everything that's familiar.

How can we safely reopen international borders?
"So there's been a lot of talk in the last couple of days about the international border and particularly from the Prime Minister says that international rivals from safe corona virus countries could avoid Herta quarantine and instead of going into Mandatory Hotel quarantaine people from those countries could go and do it in their own home. There's been quite a few questions about this coming through it. ABC. Dot Net dot edu slash corona cast including one from Kathy who says, what does Norman think of the PM suggestion about that Safe Countries Avoiding Hotel Quarantine? So this is an a nuanced, not easy problem to deal with. So there are some countries which do have very low prevalence of the virus. There's not many of them by the way, but there are some in which case you have people quarantining at home. You probably have large numbers quarantining. Technology rights even from paces with slightly higher prevalence. You only one person to get out by the way and spread the virus and you've got a major outbreak on your hands. So there is a risk they are, but you could have ankle bracelets which people could pay for, and that would be cheaper than hotel quarantine for two weeks you could have geo location on your phone you could. Have fines for giving you a phone to somebody else. But you've got to be able to know that the police whoever's going to administer canister this at huge scale, but it's possible to do that with modern technology. So it's not a bad idea and it could loosen top and it could listen up for international students particularly if you add rapid testing to the equation, but we don't ask that. Level of imposition from the government on ankle bracelets for people who are infected domestically and I selecting at Harmon we've we've spoken about this on chronic hospital four but also kathy also makes the point that one of the countries named was Japan which had more than four hundred cases on September twenty eighth alone, and she says as a Melbourne Ian in lockdown she's furious because as as you've noted, Norman that it only. Takes one case to to start another wife Yes. So you've just got to be very, very careful and this is not something you could turn on tomorrow. This is something that's got to have an infrastructure in place to make it manageable and to be as fail safe as it possibly can be. The Abbey's reported a couple of experts saying that it actually could work one was Robert and the other was paid calling. So. Do you think it's worthwhile though like if wages taking only a few countries admittedly with low A. numbers that it would help or is it just sort of opening up this slow step towards making it back to trying to get life back to normal? One way that you could do this is open it up to lure countries, get the system, right get a working with ankle bracelets or however you're going to do it get the systems in place and do it with relatively few travelers from Lewis places while Hotel Corentin is going on in parallel you could actually compare the two and see what the rate. Of positivity is you could combine it with rapid testing before you leave when you arrive and the middle of the of the quarantine periods, you could do this at scale with international students from Laura places like China one assumes that China at the moment Israel Risco that you can't be sure. So there are ways of dealing with this, which is not. That all of a sudden on the fifteenth of October hypothetically just starting to do this you might just ease your way into it learn how to do it in a safe way, and then you could scale up quite rapidly. Having said that you got to experts saying this is a good idea not not really a problem and you go professor Rhino, McIntyre Who's been pretty accurate predictions right through this Pandemic University of new, south Wales saying well, numbers would soon overwhelm you and you be able to cope. It does seem a bit strange talking about international arrivals to Australia win still many state borders are getting better but they're still closed.

But INTERNAL BORAS WE'LL start opening up your already. See a bit of relaxation in. Western. Australia with Corentin. NEW APP which they think is going to work in terms of how are monitoring people. Technology is the answer here, which would include I think rapid testing. So moving to Victoria, the numbers have been falling in recent days the average fourteen day data graph, which we all love looking at every single day continues to fall, but it does seem like healthcare workers are still getting infected. Yes and just today the updated healthcare worker numbers, and so the last week there have been twenty four H. Care Workers Nurses one doctor one, paramedic one allied health professional infected. So they're still comprising a fairly significant percentage of the. Total cases in Victoria and shows that there are still problems there and the thing is that there are catching up with numbers. So the numbers coming through very orgy complex cases you've got healthcare workers suddenly increasing you don't win there were infected the numbers from Victoria I'm sure they are trending down, but they are not as said this again and again they're not as transparent as they luke.

But sudden, these be shuttered and I wasn't feeling this way. My partner Andrea who's Italian and Damian a German friend also called the shock of seeing the world turning inward. We realized that despite being from three different countries, we witnessed the same challenges migration fluids being dealt with an inhuman. Mana. Climate Change. Well, how you employment And we also had the same hopes and dreams in everyday lives. We also realized that to SUV European issues the outdated model of always national interests I had to go. So we decided to act for a few months we west on the idea of launching votes, the first pan-european political movements, and then naturally we told facebook friends. And a lot of them responded saying that were up the challenge and wanted to help. People started holding small community meetings in parks, universities, and pubs to discuss common future and shed their solutions to the continent's biggest problems. We mobilized tens of thousands of people across twenty eight European countries, two years in. Damian was elected to the European Parliament on the campaign run by volunteers across borders on the idea that we just from together. We should that by collaborating across borders by nineteen and acting as one, we could start changing how people think. With the first ones to attempt something of this scale and to succeed despite this after the European elections in May two thousand and nineteen on drown I looked into, which is an asked that frank question that you never want to ask. Once you have what two years would something that actually worked out is this enough? No it wasn't. We knew that today's urgent challenges and not just your but global. We also knew that we couldn't even attempt to solve them by only focusing on Europe. A continent that represents less than ten percents of the world's population John Lying issue is that the way we see the world and the way the world works who mentally wrong. In. The span of two generations to what has changed more than in the previous twenty thousand years we can lend on the moon. We can wake up and Shane Guy in Gutu better in New York, we have access to a huge amount of information all the time every way. But we still see the world as I meet Ceti but issues like covid nineteen, climate, change migration, fiscal justice, human rights mean that we need to think and united beyond national borders. A global approach is needed to solve them. Countries need to collaborate share resources, information and solutions. It's not just the right thing to do, but it's also the smart one. So in the weeks following dungeons election on brand I decided that we would create a global movement to unite people beyond borders and so those issues that concern us all. We, call it now because we're not very creative and because it needs to happen now. So I know that going beyond national borders is not the easiest thing too. So here's the framework that has been guiding our work. I could think unites and it forward I. We need to change the way we think about the world whether we like it or not already live in a globalised world we need to stop thinking within national frameworks and start thinking globally take, for example, how we think about taxation. Multinational companies like facebook or Amazon or radio operate across borders but they pay very little taxes in very few countries because we think of them within national frameworks and as a result, we lack a global tax system due to this country's are deprived of at least five, hundred, billion dollars annually. Five hundred billion dollars to put it in perspective half of amount of money we could put an end to global hunger for one year, but we don't. Because of the way, we think about the world. At now, we want to change this. We connect people from all across the world who discuss work together and understand that global is the new normal and that they have more in common than what separates them. We host wiki events in which we discussed topics such as lgbt rights, pandemics, fiscal justice, or mental health. We've breakdown.
