"The White House is launching what it calls a 6 week sprint for more Americans to get the updated COVID-19 booster. The boosters have been a hard sell, only about 13% of American adults have received one. The Biden administration's hoping new numbers will convince more people.

"And then it took so long for emergency services to arrive. Rafael Rashid is a freelance journalist based in Seoul who was in the E two one area when the crash took place. He told me how his night unfolded. When I arrived at ET one station, it was very clear from the beginning that there were just huge crowds. It was difficult to leave the station. And there was little or no crowd control. And apart from the crowds, what was the scene like? Before the incident was a very jovial and very festive atmosphere and a lot of music and dancing and people quite excited to be out and about after so long due to COVID restrictions. We had a reservation in a restaurant. So we were able to go to what we had planned to do for first rounds of they call it here. So we had our dinner. And everything was fine, but usually in South Korea, you go to second rounds and third rounds, which is usually a bar and then the club later on. We were planning to do all of that, but we could just see from the window. There you couldn't move. So I was like, there's no chance that we're going to even head towards this kind of bath street or clubbing street. So we made the collective decision to just leave the area and head to the subway station. But as we were doing so, we started to hear the fire brigade and ambulances trying to rush to somewhere next to the station where we were at that point. We didn't know what was going on. This seemed to be an incident, but no one really paid too much attention as to what it was. Until police climbed onto their cars and they were pleading and shouting at people to please leave the area now. We quickly went into the subway. And later on, we found out what was unraveling above ground. So just to be clear, how far away were you from where the crash happened? I would say about 50 meters away. I could see the place. I didn't know that there was a crowd crush happening there. But you were effectively witnessing it, but didn't realize. Yeah, absolutely. And no one noticed and around me there was a lot of music and people were just coming out of the station dressed up in Halloween outfits. There were some videos on social media and it's very disturbing because when emergency services did reach the spot, there were a lot of footage of emergency services performing CPR on dozens upon dozens of lifeless bodies on the floor. And just next to this site, you had people dancing and singing with music. And I don't know if people understood what was going on at the time, but it seems that even for those people who were there, next to it, I don't know if they realized the severity of the situation. And how are you feeling today? I'll be honest, I've tried to keep back my tears, but I can't. I was in Italy one today. And I'm a freelance journalist, but they say that you should stay professional, but I had tears streaming down my eyes and Raphael, I don't want to add to your distress. Do you have people that used to simply don't know where they are or have you been able to contact most of your friends? I'm fine in that everyone I know has been accounted for. But I'm getting messages on social media from people saying that their friends or family were crushed to death. And you know, maybe I don't know these people directly, but it's a very real situation. It's such a small community and it's kind of affecting many more people than one could ever expect. Rafael Rashid, a freelance journalist in Seoul, or doctor Alice tann is a physician at miss medi women's hospital in the South Korean capital, although none of the injured were brought to her hospital. She has been in touch with colleagues who've been treating victims. So the major injuries were compression asphyxia related injuries. In other words, people were crushed, and so they could not breathe. People came in due to loss of consciousness. And then of course there were other more muscular skeletal related injuries. I related to being trampled upon, it was just a horrific scene, is what my colleagues are telling me. And as far as the types of people who have been affected, young people, but a lot of women we understand is that what you're hearing. Yes, absolutely. So it's because the nature of the accident or the catastrophe was just an avalanche of people. And so if you are smaller, less strong, unable to withstand the force of the avalanche of people crushing you basically your chances of survival are less. And so that's why we think that women were more affected, young women, they were in their teens, they were in their 20s. And this is not a medical question as such, but I presume the big question is how so many people were able to be in that area clearly. It was overcrowded. This was the first major event to be held after we lifted our outdoor mask mandate. In that particular alley, it is thought that anywhere from four to 5000 people tried to gather, they were trying to get into clubs and bars and restaurants, you know, how were they allowed to congregate? And I think this speaks to the lack of planning of crowd management. People have said that this wasn't an organized single event. Basically, this is an area where a lot of bars and nightclubs are located, people just decided that they would go there to celebrate Halloween on their own. And it just turned out that there were way too many people, then there was capacity for. Is it something that hospitals would have been preparing for some kind of influx? I think it hindsight, whatever preparation was done was obviously not enough. I think in the future, people should be aware that people will want to gather now. There will be more mass gatherings. And so we need to pay attention and make sure that we have proper medical personnel onsite that we have crowd management that local hospitals have a backup call service just in case there is an emergency of this kind. I know overnight the hospitals were put on alert in the soul metropolitan area. 39 hospitals took in patients from this one event that happened in eta one. And if anyone were to get caught up in this kind of situation, what is the advice? Right, so I have three daughters. I reached out to them, and I told them to tell their friends if you notice. That you are not able to move walk of your own will because of overcrowding, that is a time to escape, to get out. I was doctor Alice tann, a physician at miss medi women's hospital in

There was just a he just had a show open at PS MoMA in New York that she was at so she has like, she has a lot of money in the bank and I go, this is not the art that I grew up with, but I think in visual art because they can do Instagram and they can paint and do all these canvases and all these huge selling paintings. Like she's actually doing really well. And then my younger kid who is at Berkeley is non binary so they're pronouns that they are in their third year of psychology and social welfare and have it maybe a minor. Just having a great time.

"War in that country. Back around the time that war began author and journalist Ahmed Rashid had written a book titled Taliban, which became for many a defining text. Maybe we defining text on the militant group will Rashid has now written a new forward to the book in which he says the fighters who captured Kabul in 2021 were of a different breed. So we called him to reflect on this past year of Taliban rule again in Afghanistan and to ask how the group has changed in these past two decades. The first wave of Taliban, as it were, were really ignorant of the world. They didn't understand the way politics works, the way the world works. There is responsibilities that they now control the country, they control the government, and they have responsibilities. All they were interested in was pursuing their own religious agenda, which was that everyone had to be conducted to the interpretation of Islam. They still pursued the same agenda, except with a difference. It's much harsh now. They understand their responsibilities. They are now heads of state and they're running a country, and they understand that they have to keep the population down. They have to make sure that we don't see going on in Kabul, anti Taliban movement going on on our TV screen. How damaging is it to the Taliban's authority, their legitimacy, this latest twist that the leader of Al-Qaeda, I'm in Alzheimer turned up living in Kabul until the U.S. drone strike killed him last week. Yeah, so I mean, that has to be the public relations disaster for the Taliban. But it should be remembered that Al-Qaeda has always had a very close relationship with the Taliban. And of course, now it makes it very difficult for the UN for the Americans for the Europeans to outrightly offer the Taliban recognition of their government or provide them with money and health. I was talking about this with national security adviser Jake Sullivan, the U.S. national security adviser at The White House. And I want to play you a little bit of our exchange and see whether you agree, whether you think what he's saying is plausible. I asked him if the Taliban definitely knew. He was in Kabul. Here's what he said. We believe that senior members of the Haqqani network who are now part of the Taliban entity running the government in Kabul that they knew. We also believe that there were other senior Taliban officials who did not know, and in fact, you know, we will now watch to see the extent to which this raises questions within the organization of the Taliban about the wisdom of having zawahiri come back into Kabul. Oh, interesting. So you're watching for possible fractures or divisions in the Taliban. Yeah, I don't want to go so far as to say fracture, but certainly this is going to raise some eyebrows. We believe within the leadership. I'm Ed rasheed, what do you think? Is this raising some eyebrows? Do you see any sign of divisions in Taliban leadership? Well, this is very similar to what happened in 1996 when Osama bin Laden came down to Kandahar and was hosted by the Taliban leader, Mullah Omar, a lot of Taliban leaders were opposed to it. And they were very strongly about it, but they allowed malomo because even the supreme leader, they allowed him to carry on doing what he was doing. So we're seeing a repeat of that now. With certainly some of the more hardline Taliban like Haqqani network, savoring extremist terrorists from other countries. So yes, there will be a division, but it will not lead to any chaos. Our unrest within the Taliban because the Taliban asked supremely disciplined, they follow their leader, come what may, and they know that if they clash with the leader in the open, they'll be got rid of. Well, given all that, elaborate on the final thought in the new forward to your book, you write and I'm going to quote unless the Taliban are prepared to moderate their policies, improve upon their earlier attempt at governance, and become more people friendly, Afghanistan will remain the fulcrum of unrest and turbulence in Central Asia for years to come. Do you see any sign the Taliban are prepared to do any of that? Well, unfortunately, the moment quite frankly no. As long as they have sourced an income, they are able to keep thousands of young people armed and ready to fight. They haven't changed their ideological beliefs their religious beliefs, which are very extreme and are not acceptable to most Afghans and especially Afghans from different ethnic groups. So quite frankly, it's a very depressing situation. One thing the Taliban is not going to do is to come under western pressure and admit to, for example, girls education or something like that, which they see as a direct threat to their ideology and their hegemonic control, of the situation. That is Ahmed Rashid journalist and author of the book, Taliban. Thank you so much, as always, for your insight. Thank you very much. Songwriter Lamont Dozier has died

"In terms of the different the menu options one has when in spiritual pursuit for someone who has identified as their calling self realization and enlightenment, what is the path toward that? First and foremost is the get rid of stress. Stress and tension, anxiety, depression. It must be away from these things. And aggressive mindset. That also is not suitable at all. So to get out of all this, we have to know about our own breath, our own body. You know, we have 7 layers to existence. Body, breath, mind, intellect, memory, ego, and then the self. Self is the 7th one. To realize self we need to get an idea about all these other aspects of us. And with this, then it's by grace that you're open to a new dimension. So you do your effort. But then, you know, what comes to you comes to you. It depends on. Yeah, it really is, as you indicated earlier, it's kind of that balance of striving and allowing, right? There's a certain intention and maybe even actions, one must take. Otherwise, someone used to say it like this to me and said, you know, you can sit in the closet all day long. And pray to God to put hot dogs through the keyhole to at some point, you got to open the door if you want to eat, you know? Something like that. I probably botched it, but this window is that you can keep the curtains on and even when the sun is there, you will find it dark inside. But if you open the window in the night and say, don't know sun there. It's going to come and it's going to come. But you have to keep the window open, right? In the same way here, there is certain amount of self effect that is needed. And after that, it's only patients who fail. And then whatever you had to get to get it. I think it's kind of inherent to western culture to push and strive and work. And when that's applied to spirituality, it ends up being counterproductive in some way, right? I'm going to get enlightened today. Maybe it's maybe it's about putting in appropriate effort and then leaving the results to God. And then let go. Yeah. What's your take on, see? In love. Love is all about letting be and letting go. Are trying to pull and possess. Love is the trust, yes. I am here. I want nothing. I do not think. I am nothing. These principles is good enough for someone to raise to higher levels. My next question, you alluded into the topic of love and in romantic love. What's the spiritual approach to human sexuality of, you know, just having sex versus making love and the energetics of how we can most appropriately, you know, interact with people on that level. See the sex is a need of the body and it stays from some age to some age. It doesn't continue with you forever or it was not there before you were ten year old. See? But love is your very nature that is nature of your spirit. And a small expression of love could be in the form of sex. So sex is neither bad nor it is good or it's not that ultimate everything and it's not bad either. So but you see that there is an aspect in you, which is much higher. That you feel that same joy bliss. And without having to do an action. That is somebody. That is blissful meditation. I mean, it's a very great subject and big subject if you go into it. You can keep talking. What samadhi is, in fact, in the ancient Rashid's words. Samadhi is described in units of sex. You know, like one unit of sex is how much Blis you get. Some are these thousands of units. Really? Yeah. It was interesting. Thousand units of that joy, the pleasure you get is what you get in a moment of samadhi. So we have to see life from a very different perspective. Bigger perspective. Then you see that our body is a tiny part of our consciousness. Yet it's so easy to get consumed with the desires of the body, the needs of the body, the distraction. I mean, even in the industry that I'm in, you know, I have conversations around consciousness, but also around physical health and biohacking and all of this stuff. And I've observed within myself how at times being so wrapped up in being physically healthy can be a distraction from actually just being present. But we usually swing to the extremes either we ignore our body, totally and not care for it. Or we are so caught up in it. I would say go with the middle path. Body has its take care of body, have good food. A good rest, exercise. All that isn't necessarily for the body. But that is not the end, you know? This is something more. And when you are sharing yourself with everybody, then the real unconditional love. In life, dance, blossoms, then all the small needs of your doesn't even matter to you. See? Then you have a mission, and you have a vision, then you see tiny needs, a small thing, just the go to the background. Yeah, I've heard so many stories about, again, back to some of the Indian saints and mystics, you know, about yoga nanda and maharishi and these different characters wherein. See, they would barely sleep or eat food, you know? They're living in a totally different kind of plane of reality. The body doesn't require much, you know? It doesn't require much. But at the same time I'm selling it, we should not ignore when lord mohave is, he just ate only a few days. In a year. But if someone tried to imitate

So literally you go over there and you could actually dump the bullets out because the spring was stuck the follower was stuck. So yeah, so in that way, so you just had to clean your magazines. Some people learned the hard way though. The path to Baghdad continued, it was early April when Baghdad fell. At that point, what are you thinking about how quickly this is happening? What the next phases and that sort of thing? Well, it was amazing how fast we were moving. It was just incredible the speed we were going. We got up to right outside of Baghdad, a place called Al Rashid military complex and at the time my company one 7, we were attached to first tank battalion with Lima three four. So 303 four third time fourth marines. And animal company, we fought not together, but right next to each other with the tank battalion. And probably the worst issue we had with the bad guys, the whole war was when we got to Ali river. And we'd get up there and Iraq because it blown the bridge where we were going to cross first tank potatoes.

"Go to their job because we're talking about the kiddies. And that's the problem. That's the thing, you know? You know, I catch some flag for it in the comments, but like, you know, nee Smith is a basket case, okay? And every time I'm critical, I remember when was like he's young. There's a lot of young people who are way more poised and doing better things on a you know on a semi regular basis. He's all over the place. So he's got to do one thing to keep him on the court. Last year, it was effort and energy, and that was enough to give him a shot, but that was a bit of a reward, not necessarily you make us better, but you're working. You're trying. I'm going to give you a shot. The guy has to settle down, get to spots and get some shots off and they have to go down. If he's not a shooter, he's useless. Prichard's kind of in the same boat. If he's not able to get into the lane and dish or create. I mean, he got in there once and frigging mobly blocked it with his elbow. You know, like, I mean, you know, you can't do that, man. It's a freaking prose. Like, you gotta know, that's not gonna work for you. Or just he's got to get that shot off, and I don't know. Did he pull off did he start the game with the face mask and took it off in the second half? I can't remember. I think he took it off. Anyway. But, you know, you're gonna get to the point where you gotta wonder. I don't know because we don't see enough of practice when we go to them. You know, what kind of shooter niece Smith is? Didn't we just find out he just broke a record? Broke like a Tatum record for like consecutive threes or something like that, which again, it's great to talk about that, but I think back to a conversation I had many, many years ago with Rashid Wallace, who was talking about how amazing dark mileage was in practice. And but then she would end by saying, but it's a completely different game when you're playing a game. When the lights come on, not everybody can perform one of those. No doubt. Yeah. But at least you know it's there. Like, I think the worry with ne Smith for some people out there is, you know, it was, you know, you know, you got rook there. It was, you know, a bill of false goods because the sample size was so small because he had that shortened season in his last year Vanderbilt Vanderbilt. Yeah. Sorry, yeah. I almost said Tennessee. That was great. Last season there. And so I think he only took like 45 threes and he made 20 of them or whatever, and it was like, oh, he shot 50% for the year. That's a really big number, which is great, but it was a small sample size. So I think there was concern with like, did we just get duped over this really, really small sample size? And he's not nearly the shooter that we think he is. And so I like hearing that in practice he lights it up and can do that. Because it means that's a thing he could theoretically do if he was able to slow the game down and figure out where the hell he's supposed to be standing and get the shot off with some sort of rhythm. Every release he has in a game looks different to me. You know, just he just, it's not nothing looks smooth..

"Today on the streets of Kabul, hundreds of women came out to protest the Taliban takeover and what they say is Pakistan's interference. In the country. I saw the name We do not want the intelligence services of Pakistan to establish a government for us. Afghanistan has always been and will remain an independent country. Pakistan has historically deep ties with the Taliban. Many Afghans accused of playing a role in bringing the group back to power. In the northern city of Mazar e Sharif. Planes chartered to fly out more than 2000. People sit on the tarmac. Several 100, including American citizens and green card holders say they've been waiting for more than a week for Taliban permission to leave. The Taliban says anyone with the correct paperwork can board the flights today on a visit to Qatar Secretary of State Antony Blinken also deny the Taliban was blocking Americans from leaving. They said that they will let people with travel documents freely depart. We will hold them to that. So we'll dozens of other countries. International community is watching to see if the Taliban will live up to their commitments for the PBS news hour. I'm Yeah. Michelle Sander. So who are the men and they are all men who will lead the new government in Afghanistan. We turn to two experts who have tracked the Taliban for a long time on that Rashid as a journalist who has covered Afghanistan, Pakistan and Central Asia for decades, his book Taliban militant Islam, oil and fundamentalism in Central Asia. Which came out in 2000 was the first one on the Taliban and Douglas London had a 34 year career in the CIA's clandestine service, where he focused on Afghanistan, South and Central Asia, the Middle East and elsewhere. He's the author of the new book, The Recruiter, Spying and the Lost Art of American Intelligence. Welcome to both of you, Mr Rashid. Mr London. Thank you very much. Ahmad Rashid, Let me start with you. What does the naming of these individuals say to you about what the Taliban has in mind for the future of Afghanistan? Well, I think overall I mean, they have Okay, have not done anything. What the Western countries have been asking for. It's not a diverse cabinet. It's a very solidly Taliban government that they have chosen. The government, uh, has not taken on board any of the non Taliban politicians in Afghanistan. They have chosen not to take any women into the Cabinet for the giant being. Now this is a can take the government that they set up today. But they said that they will. There will be additions and changes and presumably, there will be A full time government at some stage, but at the moment it looks that this is going to continue the hard line that we've seen so far. With beating up women demonstrators and not tolerating any kind of dissent. Is that what you see Doug London hardline Cabinet and what do you see in terms of their attitude toward the West? I think it reminds us that we're best judging the Taliban by what they do and not what they say. The majority of this Cabinet go trace their roots back to being close to Mullah Omar, starting out the Taliban in the nineties. That's certainly the case of the named Prime Minister, Mohammad Hassan, a coon, who was in fact head of their shore. So that is some continuity, the shore being their decision making body that was Operating in Pakistan. I think taking a look at the names they've given a little more room for the parties to have some good portfolios for themselves, including the interior minister, now being a wanted felon with a $10 million reward for his capture, and Sirajuddin Haqqani. I think it's interesting that the Taliban five those individuals that the United States traded who were in Guantanamo prison for PFC. Bergdahl all received, um Good jobs, but not necessarily the top jobs in the Cabinet, and I think it's interesting that I see the number two intelligence official is an individual named Cashmere is a lot Who was an explosive specialist at the CIA helped you get detained in Pakistan, but the Pakistanis released due to his poor health, and apparently he has suddenly made quite a recovery. And Mr Rashid you mentioned, Of course, no women in this lineup of leadership. Um what does that say to you? Have you? Do you see anything here that that tells you there may be some give because they have been saying. They want women to have a role in society. They have been saying that and but, you know, women have been out in the streets in Kabul and herons and other places. Demanding their rights and demanding the slogan Today was freedom, and it seems that the women are literally leaving, leaving a the young male students and men also to show dissent against the Taliban. So, uh, and the Taliban admit that they don't have people trained and crowd control. They don't know what to do. And, uh most of the people come into the street and so what we've seen, of course, is that there have been beating up people, uh, quite frequently while they were doing outside the airport when people who try to leave Leave Kabul. What about what should we expect in terms of whether they are what they're going to what their attitude is going to be toward Al Qaeda toward Isis were told their enemies, But what should we expect? Well, I think it's interesting if you look at the statement that was released today under the name of habit, eloquent Sanda, who is the emir of the Taliban? Has now been the self proclaimed supreme leader, much like perhaps assistant in Iran, the individuals that are in the Cabinet are those who have historically good and positive relations with Al Qaeda. And there's even language in that statement that thanks all the Muslims and Mujahideen I believe that was really intended as a as a chapeau to the various organizations that the United States and the West considers terrorist groups, namely Al Qaeda and many of southern partner groups, but are considered part of what brought the Taliban victory. So I think it's a suggestion that they're not really planning to cut their ties. It's coming across as a group of individuals certainly to be feared Ahmad Rashid and and finally to both of you, the naming of this as a caretaker Government, suggesting it's temporary. How do you read that? Well, they don't seem to be having at the moment at least any kind of political plan for the future. They've already said. We don't believe in election, so that's out. But how they're going to put in place a permanent government without giving the public some kind of, uh, some kind of choice. Or some kind of ability to choose who they want. They won't allow political parties because that's against the sum. According to them, the whole interpretation is going to be, I think, based on what you've seen how we've seen Al Qaeda in the last few years and other organizations where you have a top man who's endorsed by, uh, basically the sure out the council And there's very little choice left to the public or to people. Um, and there's very little dissent either. And finally to Doug London. We've been told that this new government is going to need desperately aid from the West. But do you see anything here That suggests that they're making any concessions at all That would that would put them in a better place in terms of receiving aid. There's some clues. I think backwards onto statement, and I think it's also important to realize that she's still in charge and calling the shots regardless of what the government composition is, despite the fact that Taliban does tend to have to rely on about a lot of consensus. There's language about self reliance. There's language about Afghans not leading because they need them. There's suggestions to me that this leadership as I would expect Is love to integrate globally with the West and thus make itself vulnerable to sanctions and vulnerable to information that they can't control..

And it was not accepted by anyone anyone who transferred and anyone outside you have kind of done except for three countries who recognize the government Pakistan Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Now the Taliban are very keen now on getting international recognition. They've got out of their way to travel to neighboring states to win them over at the most recent visit they had was in fact Tiger where they met the foreign minister of China the highest level official who had ever met with the Taliban. And he asked them to. Make sure that they did not encourage the Uighurs the Muslim leader population which has been under tremendous repression in China. Not to allow to Uighurs into not to give their own training and not to turn them into a gorillas. And the Taliban despite the Islamic zeal and the condemnation of non Muslims and all the rest of it they have set fire will do that. We will restrict the activity of we lose in Afghanistan. So they do not create any problem for you. And it was an amazing. Declaration of the Taliban. Now whether it will start to be kept because don't forget your Uighurs and many other militant groups or Central Asia Pakistan are all very active. And people don't see at the moment how the Taliban is going to get rid of them even if they want to. And these groups include Al-Qaeda of course. The much depleted and reduced but still very much a factor in. A lot of a lot of these militants have been fighting alongside the Taliban. So it's not that the Taliban can just dump these people or shoot them many of them have settled down. They've got mad married in Afghanistan. You've got to have done lives. And these militants are speaking to the local languages. So these relatives have become very well integrated into outcomes society into Taliban statue. Now how they are going to deal with this is going to be the main preoccupation of the west. I think and especially in the United States because right now if there are any militant groups around and the U.S. wants to bomb them kill them capture them whatever. It's going to be difficult. Because with closest American forces are much behind in the gulf if the gulf countries will possibly Turkey which is a long way away. From gun stuff. On the road they're all awareness simply. I think is also. We have to wait and see. I think they will and now minimal. I mean what I've heard about the education for example is that women will be allowed to study and celebrate 12 but they will not be allowed to go to university and centers of higher learning. Now that may be true it may not be true. It may be a declaration that it will be made that will not be implemented by some of the militants in the provinces or. It will be implemented in full by Taliban control the cities that will come into contact with many women who are well educated every day. So. It's such a go. And I think that the main issue right now is what kind of government are they going to form? Will it include non Taliban politicians who lose their fabulous et cetera or is it just going to be an exclusive Taliban government? That's what they really want. An exclusive Taliban government no interference from want to be politicians. And but of course that would not be a representative government. And the danger always for the Taliban is going to be. Watching the ethnic minorities making sure that they do not rise up in revolt. Down the road. Ahmed Rashid we're going to have to leave it there but we hope to have you back soon as these developments are fast unfolding Ahmed Rashid as a writer award winning journalist author of several books including Taliban militant Islam oil and fundamentalism in Central Asia and also thanks so much to Ali Latifi.

The Cryptoverse
Are They Really Going To Ban Stablecoins?
"So are they really gonna bend stable coins. This seems to be one of the biggest news stories out there right now. You know when something. He's a maybe that is something that really gets twit crypto with to go in a kind say crypto twitter going. Because when is maybe we all started debating the probability of it happening. And that's natural. I suppose because as soon as we know what's going to happen in the future then we make like investing decisions and positions that rhymes allows us to get ahead of the curve. So we wanna know how to position ourselves ahead of the curve. And if it's going to happen we can do that. So in this case. I'll start off with a tweet from congresswoman rashida web t. l. a. You pronounce that so you want to get as close to the primary source possible. I was just thinking about this amigo in journalism. You call primary source. But i suppose in crypto that's like the base layer lay zero so it's at the blockchain layer so this is the tweet from the horse's mouth. There's another way you'd say so the the tweet l. post in the notes so here he goes. It says preventing cryptocurrency providers from repeating the crimes against low and moderate income residents of cola. Traditional big banks have is critically important. That's why i'm proud to announce the hashtag stable act with two of the representatives. Never mind the names. Governors them links. So what i'd like to know. Straightway by the way first thing. I'd like to know is Specifically what is meant by crimes against low and moderate income residents of course so of color talk about people in united states. who are people of color. Get that so other crimes though. We're talking about you know declining bank accounts like when the replied full by people have colorized us. Well if that's the case if we are talking about when a person of color applies for bank account and gets declined because there were president of the crypto communities already solved that problem right. People of color can download in a theory. Will it do some online work and then get paid in die stable coins. Da so in that scenario. There's no possibility of discrimination because creating a theory will it is free and is permission list and die a stable coin which is protected from volatility. So that's that a die is also not ted the to dulles it's backed by a theory of another permission this asset so the floor is in the first few words of this tweet that says preventing cryptocurrency providers ding ding ding. So reheat. a main will be aware that stable coins like di do not have centralized providers behind them so these stable coins these owned chain stable coins their generated on public network without requiring permission from anyone. And because there's no personal information required. It doesn't matter what color you cola isn't even a consideration because it doesn't matter it's a totally lit fed flare so tony fair and level playing field for everybody. So there's your solution right net now before anyone roasts onto it's about transaction fees a theory him being discriminatory to low and moderate income. People i hear you so us instead. Download the one that wallet. They'll provide you with a free account. And then you can use any one of a dozen collateralized stable coins e else where transactions are free. so that's not bad back to the tweet then links to T. l. a. I don't house dot gov which is the greater detail about this particular piece of legislation. They call it they call it the stable act right. Which is kind of ironic. Isn't it but stands for stable coin tethering and bank licensing enforcement. Now that's clearly been shoehorned into the acronym stable so they might not be. What is actually says. Is that this week. These congress people got together with the chairman of the task force for financial to l. d. blah blah blah and introduce these stable act which is which would protect consumers from the risks imposed by imagining digital payment instruments such as facebook's libra which is now called diem and they will coins current offered in the market by regulating their issuance and related commercial activities. It then says digital currencies who value is permanently pegged to or stabilized against a traditional currency like the dollar pose new regulatory challenges while also representing a growing source of market liquidity and credit risk. So that's that's the first paragraph talking about here in a press. Release on this website. So again this is aimed squarely acc- stable coins data pegged to dollar reserves it specifically says pegged stabilized against traditional conventional currency reserves. I just described above with regards to like the algorithm mickley stabilized coins that are backed by commission assets like theory more. Well that's a technological solution to this problem. Rather nate legislative one and plus. This technology already exists right now today. Ready to use right after you finish listening to this podcast. But as ever since since behavior always flows from identity. If you are a regulator will your primary purpose is to regulate not solve problems no matter how many times you say. Oh we're actually trying to solve problems note. If you're a regulator your primary purpose is to regulate not solve problems otherwise you'd call yourself a problem sold and that's why you'd be accountable for the outcome of your work would be solutions to problems. But it isn't the outcome of the work that you do as a regulator is regulation so that we got. You have to ask that question though. What would rashid do if she say. Listen to this podcast. When and investigated the tools of his mentioned and discovered that they can accomplish the exact goal. They're aiming to achieve well at that point. Would this draft law than be put in the been and be labeled job done or would it create a fear. They accept that this pro has already been sold. They lose their peppis so discovering. How effective those unchain stable coin solutions May create the snowball of fear along the lines of olga. If these innovators really have sold this problem with technology what are the problems that they solved that. We're supposed to be tasked with solving that also asked like w- what if they're able to solve all the problems with technology. Then what would we do with ourselves as regulators so the end of the day politicians and regulators the human beings but the same fears and emotions and thoughts as the rest of us. So i can't help but look at it from that point of view as well put back to the specific gripes. That rashida has britain. would these stable coins. This often hear about guaranteeing customer deposits. Well with own chain stable coins. The reserves a completely transparent and auditable the stable coins themselves that issued by smart contracts and backed by more collateral than traditionally pick stable coins like tether by eos book. If i ever need. I've got the vigor system platform open right this minute and if i look it the vegas stable coin right this minute. The collateral ratio eat a hundred and fifty percent so wild pig stable coins. Like the us. Dc jimmy dolla. They all have one does worth of cash for every one dollar stable coin. These unchain stable claims like vega will has one dollars fifty of collateral backing everyone stable coin and more than that if a person of color where paid in viggo for some wag that they did well the past them would be zero collateral risk. That's all taken care of behind the scenes by the insurers of the protocol level and so the de the holder of the vega has absolutely no knowledge whatsoever this going on and neither do the insurers have any knowledge of the and using the stable coins. That unearth Or not doesn't matter that don't care right that is providing the insurance system and engaging with the protocol and that's the end of it that's their relationship the relationship with the protocol not the uses that don't care about the as long as they play by the rules which you have to anyway so those protections are built right in. It's not even a consideration right. Discrimination based on skin color is completely impossible at the protocol level if someone decides not to hire someone for a job say because the applicant is a person of color will obsolete nothing to do the way money works. That's a whole separate problem that needs addressing a whole separate conversation beyond the scope of this particular podcast so whether the law gets passed in this this stable at low whether he gets passed in the us or not. i personally would much rather people of color. Just use the on table coins anyway right. Just do that anyway. If you listen to this and you are coa go check out things like meta mask and the die. Stable coin for theory amiss. Da and then if you wanna look at the us equivalent look out for the one bat. Wallet and the vega stable coin his v. i. g. o.

End of Abe era leaves Japan still searching for way forward
"Your Shahida Suda as the country's new prime minister on Monday. 71 year old Mr Suder was overwhelmingly elected as the leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, replacing Shinzo Abe has dominated Japanese politics for the past eight years. Mr was expected to serve until the end of next year, but announced suddenly he was stepping down last month, pleading poor health. There's now concerned that Japan could be about to return to what became known as revolving door politics when the country changed Prime Minister's almost every year, Rupert Wingfield Hayes reports. Yeah. You see that pit shuttle get this's something No one would have predicted even a few weeks ago. 71 year old Yoshida super being proclaimed leader of Japan's all powerful Liberal Democratic Party. And by default, the country's new prime minister. Mr Sugar is not known for his charisma or his oratory. And as he made his rather ponderous victory speech, you can hear why you know anybody. Ronnie. Still cocaine. I want to break down bureaucratic divisions invested interests, he says on the blind adherence to president indication to form a cabinet that will work hard for the people. That takes a kike Agos, Cary Most Japanese, No, Mr Sugar as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's long serving grim faced spokesman Up till now. He has always been a backroom guy. A fixer. He has none of the charm or diplomatic skills. Mr Abba used TTO win over President Donald Trump. But according to those who know him like economists and long term Tokyo resident Yes, Bacall, Mr Sugar brings other attributes to the game. Here is a man who gets up at five o'clock in the morning. Does 100 sit ups and then reads all the newspapers and by 6 30. He's starting meetings right with business people with advisers, you know, with outside economists, he absorbs like a sponge and wants to get things done for the country. He's not interested in any of the glitz or blink that comes with war nongovernment. The problem for Mr Suder. Is he has no mandate from the Japanese people. His elevation to the top job was a stitch up by L. V P. Party bosses in smoke filled back rooms. Perhaps because of that much is being made of Mr Segers Humble background. The son of a strawberry farmer, he worked in a cardboard factory to pay his way through college. He's certainly very different from most of Japan's recent prime ministers like Mr Abbott, the silent of a powerful political dynasty, but in the scheming world of Japanese politics Rashid, a circus. Humble origins could also be his undoing. According to Professor Koichi Nakano of Tokyo's Sophia University. Mr Silva comes from a humble background. He really doesn't have his own power base. You know, he doesn't belong to any faction on DH. He actually, you know, Rose to power because he was Mr B's preferred choice on the party bosses rally behind him, You know, emergency situation. But once the emergency situation is gone, and once the party bosses study realized that they're not getting all they wanted. I'm sure there's going to be past trouble. They're both from

Don't Let This Crisis Go To Waste | Roshi Joan Halifax
"Our guest this week is definitely not arguing that the pandemic is a good thing but she also believes that we shouldn't let a good crisis go to waste as they sometimes say in politics. This is a wakeup call. She says a chance I to really take a beat and ask ourselves what actually matters. How do we want to do this? Life both individually and as a culture her name is Rashid. Joan Halifax PhD. She is She's this is our second appearance on the show. She is a major figure in the in the American Buddhist seen. She's a Buddhist teacher. As an priest anthropologist a pioneer in the field of end of life care. She's the founder Abbot and head teacher at. Up Institute ends then center in Santa Fe New Mexico. She was speaking to us from her bedroom. There for this podcast and her motto for this crisis as you will hear is strong back. Soft Front. Chill. Explain what that means and much more. Here we go. Joan Halifax Super High Dan. Where are you? I'm in my wife's closet. I could make a comment about that. I mean you're in a safe place. You can make any comment you want. I. I am in a safe place but I have to watch out about my comments broadcast out there. I feel a little embarrassed sometimes. Fair enough fair enough. Let me start with a question. That may historically pre-crisis was perfunctory question. But actually now is a very interesting question which is how are you well? I'm actually fine. I was fine pre-crisis and in the race in the middle of this thing. I'm feeling very fortunate to be sheltering with twenty four people at the center and having a strong practice and also having the opportunity to cook food for homeless people which is delivered safely and also the kind of zoom world which I was not particularly involved prior to the crisis talking to the vacuum on zoom. It is really kind of bizarre situation. But I'm getting more comfortable sharing the Dharma to the zoom space. So it sounds like you're doing fine but what are your observations about the state of the world? That's a small question. Well this podcast. You can answer for as long as you'd like yeah. I'm very interested in what is happening. I will say that I feel like I was born to be in the middle of this mess. It's kind of charnel. Ground a global charnel ground and I also an anthropologist and a former lifetime so it's just for me an incredible process that we're in where we're reflecting the aspects that have been written about in terms of what is right of passage. We're seeing it at a global level and I don't know what the outcome will be one of the things that glassman she taught me was to really sit with not knowing and we're in this experience of radical uncertainty right now. There's just no way that we can predict what the outcome of all this will be. You know although there are intimations from and others about the possibility of a pandemic but I think you know there's a kind of global oblivion that has been operational for a little bit too long suddenly. We've gotten this invisible wakeup call and it is fascinating and it is frightening. And it is compounded by the fact that literally millions of people are in social isolation and it is as I said an opportunity for us to look deeply at our lives on our lives in relationship to people who are less Economically could I say stable affluent and also to look the effects of our lives the environment? So you know as I said Dad. This is like a right of passage where we're in the first phase of that rite of passage and rites of passage were described by. Arnold Van. Hannah who was a Dutch ethnologist. Who wrote a very important book? In the Nineteen Twenties on rites of passage and it became the model that anthropologists mythologised used to actually look at the contours of transformation and transformational processes that individuals as well as cultures. Go through and Ben Hannah Fascinating. Enough identified the first phase of a rite of passage as separation. And we're in it. I mean our experience of social isolation is an absolute perfect conditions for us to withdraw from our ordinary lives. Our normal lives to be put into solitude so to speak and to not have access to others or to our habitual ways of living and consuming. That have been part of our lives forever. So we're in the phase of separation and then then describes the second phase and that phase is called the threshold experience and the world the word threshold. There's the same feeling and meaning as the word thrash and I feel like we are globally. Being thrashed economies are being thrashed the corporate world. Not so bad. Maybe that it's being thrashed but also people who live in communities of poverty material poverty. They are being thrashed and our racism is becoming much more visible and as well. I think we're at a time where we are. In a certain way seeing the dissolution of a how you could call it exactly but the dissolution of a world that has been built out of an unjust economy that has had profound environmental implications.

How South Korea Tracks the Coronavirus?
"So what does it look like to spend a day in Seoul right now honestly? It's business as usual. This is Rafael Rashid. He's a journalist in. Seoul is like any other day especially at the moment. The worst is over and right now I can do anything I want. South Korea didn't flatten the curve. They never had any curve at all on Wednesday. Even had an election with record turnout. The shops are open. Coffee shops are open. Restaurants are open. Yesterday was a public holiday because we had voting but everyone was in the streets holding hands going to coffee shops. The weather was nice and it says the time. Yeah it's as if nothing had happened and I kinda feel a bit guilty because I can see you know. Friends and family abroad is a completely different story. Are you posting? Are you posting on your Insta- here? I am in the pause movie. I do feel a bit bad posting these like normal life stories. Because I know it's not the case for everyone else around the world but definitely we've seen a lot less cases in Korea I think now we're hovering at About Twenty to twenty five new cases a day says very very minimal minimal because of South Korea's sweeping contact tracing program which the country developed as a response to another viral outbreak in two thousand fifteen interviews investigations local lert. Everything was in place when Cova derived and participation is mandatory. The South Korean government has been very good at tracking and tracing down all of the confirmed cases of corona virus in the country at the beginning once someone was confirmed and they. They got their positive result. The government would awesome questions. Where were you what time way did you go? What was your route like being like being interviewed by the FBI or something like that. Yeah literally interrogated but the problem is I mean. Some people were very good at it but at giving answers but some people just forgot where they were for the past few days and I think some people actually refused to say where they were so when we have a pandemic the government is allowed to look into your private records your credit card records your GPS tracking so they're allowed to get off information from you and actually the silicates the process of finding out where you up so what the government does with this information. Is they compile it and then they make what they call an emergency broadcast so for example. If someone in your area comes out as positive coronavirus case then everyone in that area will receive a text message on their phone saying be careful. There was a confirmed case in your area. And you can't really opt-out these messages. They just come on your phone and they make a massive siren. And everyone's phone if you're in a coffee shop. Everyone's phone goes off at the same time to stay alert.
