Ep.288 - Netanyahu's US Visit & Reading

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. Benjamin Netanyahu visits the US.
2. A twice-a-year injection of a HIV drug was 100% effective in women during clinical trials.
3. China unveils meltdown-proof nuclear power plant.
4. Britain drops its challenge to ICC arrest warrants for Israeli leaders.
5. Junior doctors’ leaders agree 22.3% pay deal over two years.

In the 1st of two Politics segments: (11:13) Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the US was jarring, topped off with a frankly scary speech in Congress to the tune of American politicians clapping for the continued genocide. So what is the takeaway from the surreal event? (Article By Jonathan Cook)

In the 2nd Politics segment: (28:43) With some time passed since the height of the protests in Kenya, it is worth returning to the events and looking at the global stakes of them. (Article By Samar Al-Bulushi)

In Sports & Environment: (44:22) With the Olympics in full swing, how can we shoehorn the climate crisis into it? Well, extreme heat making it harder to break records of course! (Article By Shi En Kim)

Lastly, In Life: (55:24) I try to read but admittedly I'm very inconsistent about it. I'd be lucky to read two books a year. (That aren't Photobooks...) So what about the adults that read nothing and don't endeavour to do anything about it? (Article By Helen Coffey)
