Missä se on? Ei täältä kaapelista löydä mitään. Parasta ennen 2012. Puna ja ei, ei. Äiti, missä on hillo? DNA vei sun hillot. Miten niin DNA vei? Pitäis mun syödä näitä lettuja jolloin sinapilla? Nyt pitää, kun DNAn uusiin liittymiin kuuluu turvallinen nettiselaus. Se estää ihmisiä menemästä sun huijaussivustoille. Kirottua DNA. DNA huoleton on uuden ajan liittymä turvallisella nettiselauksella.
Terve, mitäpä kuuluu? Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong. Siis autosta kuuluu. Ding dong. Ding dong. Autosta. Mittaristosta. Ding dong. Eikös se ole huolan paikka? Vastaus on helppo kyllä. Varataanko heti? Se on helppo kyllä. Fiksus!
Tervetuloa, olen Ankur Desai ja sydäntäisen 14. aprilin aikana nämä ovat meidän suurimmat tarinamme. Yhdysvaltainen presidentti Jody Vance suosittelee, että puhut Iranin jälkeen voidaan loppua, mutta puhutaan Tehranin puolesta. Hän puhui, kun Yhdysvallat alkoi vahvistaa iranian puutteita. Yhdysvallan tutkimus käsittelee eläinvastaisuuden ongelmanvastaisuuden ongelmanvastaisuuden ongelmanvastaisuuden ongelmanvastaisuuden.
Also in this podcast, Colombia is to begin a cull of its invasive hippopotamus population to protect local ecosystems and native species such as manatees and river turtles. This is a necessary action to reduce the population. Without that action, it's impossible to control the population.
As the US and Iran continue to tussle over the key waterway that is vital to the global economy, the US vice president has given an indication that fresh talks could be revived, but says the ball is in Iran's court. This comes after J.D. Vance accused the Iranian government of carrying out what he called economic terrorism by largely closing the Strait of Hormuz to ships.

Chapter 2: How is the US responding to Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz?
On Monday the US began a rival blockade, stopping ships from using Iranian ports. And it comes after talks between the US and Iran crumbled over the weekend in Islamabad. Mr. Vance has been speaking to Fox News, but insists certain conditions must be met. We must have the enriched material out of Iran. We must have their conclusive commitment to not develop a nuclear weapon. And I think that if the Iranians are willing to meet us there, then this can be a very, very good deal for both countries.
I heard more from our North America correspondent Peter Bowes, who's in LA.
He said the ball was very much in Iran's court. He also addressed some issues that we didn't hear about when the talks broke up in the early hours of Sunday over the weekend, namely the status of the Strait of Hormuz. In fact, Mr Vance went as far as to accuse Tehran of moving the goalposts during the meeting, saying that he'd expected the Iranians to fully reopen the strait in return for a ceasefire. He said by blocking traffic, Iran was engaging in an act of economic terrorism.
Ja jos se jatkuu, sanoi hän, että Yhdysvallat sopii samaan prinsipuuteen, että eivät iranialaiset saa ulos. Hän sanoi, että kaksi voisi pelata tämän pelin. Ja kuten me tiedämme, ja kuten sinä olet huomannut, Yhdysvalto Iranin puutteet ovat nyt tehty. Donald Trump sanoi, että enemmän laitteita saa ulos. Mutta tämä asia on se, joka on suurin piirtein, at least I think for the next coming days.
Because as long as global trade is being hampered in the way that it has been in recent weeks, it seems highly unlikely that any of the other big issues are going to be resolved. Peter also seemed to allude that they talked over a number of things in Islamabad over the weekend with Iran. Se seemed to give an indication of what some of those topics would have been.
Yes, he did. He elaborated a little bit more on these core issues that are dividing the two countries. He said the US had to put a lot on the table and he said it had done that. Tehran, he said, wasn't responding in the way that he and the president wanted. On the table, he said, was the ceasefire and the promise that Iran could one day be treated like a normal country, he said.
If it was a normal economy, people would prosper and thrive, but in order for Iran to be a normal country, he said, it could never get a nuclear weapon. And he said, we must have, just to quote him, the enriched material out of Iran, we must have the conclusive commitment not to develop a nuclear weapon. That, he said, would be a very, very good deal for both countries. And he repeated what
He and the president have been saying that their view was that the weekend talks made some progress, but that both sides had to progress even further and that it was up to Iran to make the next move. North America correspondent Peter Bowes reporting.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the US naval blockade on global trade?
The conflict in the Middle East has had a volatile effect on markets and the wider global economy. A few hours after the start of the US blockade of Iranian ports and shortly after the close of trade on the American markets, I spoke to our business editor, Simon Jack.
Oil price is still actually right now below $100 and stock markets in the US are actually up and in fact have eradicated all their losses so far this year. So either they're being horribly complacent about this or there's reasons for confidence that a deal can be achieved. Asian markets, Asian countries and their economies are desperate for oil because we know this strait is so important to them. So what are their solutions then if they want to try and access oil?
Well, we've seen supply constraints, which has seen what they call in economic terms demand destruction. Things either get so expensive you stop doing them, or the supplies aren't there and you can't do them. And we've seen things like fuel rationing in Sri Lanka, we've seen LPG rationing in India, four-day weeks elsewhere, people being told to stay at home. All of these kind of things to try and bring down demand.
And also there are, of course, other sources of oil. The Gulf isn't the only one. China, for example, gets quite a lot of its oil from Russia. India also gets some from Russia. But I'm not trying to downplay the fact that there are real shortages in some places causing real hardship. And the more you are reliant on the Gulf, the more that hardship, and certainly Asia fits that bill. Yeah, reserves are being drained by the day for sure. A lot of people listening will wonder, well, how is this affecting me? How is this affecting my pocket, my bank balance, and the finances of many people around the world?
It pushes up inflation and inflation is a killer in two ways. One is it increases the cost for businesses of doing business and at the same time it takes money out of the pocket to those customers. So it's a double whammy on, if you like, economic growth.
Inflation goes higher, economic growth goes lower. For many governments that means that the amount of tax they get in from that economic activity will also go down. At the same time as interest rates being higher, the amount they pay on their borrowings. This is particularly true in Asia, which has a lot of US dollar denominated debt.
So the public finances can get very stretched very quickly, and the longer this goes on, the worse it gets. And there's one commodity which really gets battered in a situation like this, and it's not oil, and it's not helium, and it's not fertilizer. It's confidence. Confidence means that businesses don't spend money, they hoard cash, they don't invest, and that can affect growth for many weeks, months, even years down the line.
Finally, in every situation someone benefits. So a lot of people are looking towards Russia. So are Russian oil producers currently rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of many countries knocking on their door? This is a birthday present for Russia. They're obviously big suppliers to both India and China, both of whom are in desperate need of it. So yes, Russia is a big winner from this. And also, given the fact that the Ukraine war is going on, international attention has obviously been diverted to the Gulf. So good news for Russia, bad news for Ukraine.

Chapter 4: What historical conflicts exist between political leaders and the Vatican?
Simon Jack. Donald Trump may have removed the AI post on his Truth Social feed, which depicted himself as a Jesus-like figure after supporters accused him of blasphemy. But he's not backing down in his spat with the leader of the Roman Catholic Church. Late on Sunday he accused Pope Leo of being weak on crime and terrible for foreign policy, after the US-born pontiff had said a delusion of omnipotence was fueling the war in Iran.
But the Pope said he had no fear of the Trump administration and he would continue to speak out loudly. In response, President Trump stood his ground when he was asked about the row at the White House. Pope Leo said things that are wrong. He was very much against what I'm doing with regard to Iran. And you cannot have a nuclear Iran. Pope Leo would not be happy with the end result. You have hundreds of millions of people dead.
Ja se ei tapahtunut, joten en pysty. Luulen, että hän on hyvin vahva kriisiin ja muista asioista. Hän meni ylös. Olen vain vastaanottanut Leohan. Miten nykyinen späti käsittelee aiemmin keskustelua poliittisista ja poliittisista? Professori Massimo Fagioli Trinity College Dublinista on kristillinen kirkko. Hän on puhunut BBCn James Kumrasamiin.
So there is a history of contraposition between strong men, strong leaders, Hitler and the Mussolini and then Stalin. But there was a sense of respect of the Vatican as an institution that we don't see here, right? What's different now is that the United States of Donald Trump claims to be the defender of Christianity.
Ja Donald Trump itse suosittelee olevan poliittinen messiaali. Ja se on erilainen taso.
What would you point to in terms of how he interacted with politicians? Because it's a pretty controversial legacy he has, isn't it? It is, and that's the problem that every pope wants to avoid, meaning the question of how silent a pope can be in the face of war crimes and genocide. And so here you had a church that was very much in between Soviet communism on
on one side and fascism and nazism on the other side. But everything was dealt at the level of ideology of we Catholics, we communists. Of course what we have now is an American pope and an American president locking horns. And I just wonder, looking back to more recent times, when we have a Polish pope, John Paul II, being seen as a real beacon in the fight against communism.
Tämä on totta, että iso ero on se, että vuonna 1979, kun John Paul II katsoi Polia vain muutama kuukausi myöhemmin...
He knew he had almost the entirety of the Polish people behind him. That cannot be said for Pope Leo, because America is very polarized. How unusual is it for the Pope, the current one, to very specifically saying, look, I'm not afraid of what the Trump administration is going to say, being quite direct in standing his ground against, well, specifically the riposte from the White House?

Chapter 5: Why is Colombia culling its hippopotamus population?
In the 1980s Pablo Escobar was renowned for being a violent cartel leader, but he was less known for creating an extravagant private zoo featuring more than a thousand exotic animals smuggled from overseas. The wildlife included giraffes, elephants, zebras, rhinos and exotic birds.
but the most famous and destructive part of the collection was four African hippos, one male and three females. After Escobar was killed in 1993 in a shootout with Colombian security forces, the hippos escaped from his abandoned hacienda and began breeding, thriving in the Colombian climate with no natural predators. Now there are estimated to be up to 200 of their descendants living in the wild.
Ympäristöministeri Irene Velez sanoi, että tutkimuksen jälkeen hallitus laittoi euthanasia-protokollin kontrolliin kokainhippujen numeroon. Nyt me olemme...
This is a necessary action to reduce the population. Without that action it's impossible to control the population. And as we saw in the estimates, by 2030 we would have at least 500 hippos affecting our ecosystems and harming our native species, such as manatees and river turtles.
While some of the hippos, which roam freely in the Magdalena River Valley, will be culled, others will be sterilized or moved. Maybe some will be lucky enough to end up in the family-orientated theme park and wildlife sanctuary, which Escobar's former ranch, Hacienda Napoles, has become. Alice Adderley reporting.

Chapter 6: How is Duolingo testing job applicants through taxi drivers?
Asmaa saattaa olla HIV-vaiheessa koko elämänsä. Medikaatio pysyy hänet elämään, mutta ei ole rajoja stigmaan, joka on pysynyt hänet lapsen elämänsä. Gary Abed on hänen isänsä. Jäsenet ja perheemme eivät edes laittaa lapsensa asumaan. Sitten hän kysyy isänsä, mitä on väärin minulle. Pohja naisi sanoo, että muita lapsia eivät laittaa minulle. He eivät edes kävele minulle.

A federal judge in the United States has thrown out President Trump's multi-billion dollar lawsuit against the publisher of the right-leaning Wall Street Journal. The lawsuit centered around the publication by the newspaper of a drawing of a nude female body the newspaper said was done by Mr. Trump as a birthday greeting for the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The president said the drawing was a fake and sued the paper, which is owned by his former friend Rupert Murdoch.
Our correspondent in Washington, Neda Tawfiq, began by giving us the background to President Trump's lawsuit.
This was from last summer when the Epstein crisis was really in full steam. And President Donald Trump kept saying, the press needs to focus on my accomplishments. This is all a democratic hoax. And you had the Wall Street Journal reporting that Donald Trump back in 2003 had actually contributed to Epsteins 50th birthday book.
Ja se ei ollut vain se fakti, että hän sopimuskirjoitti peruskirjoituksen, vaan hän kirjoitti kirjoitettavaa kirjoitettavaa kirjoitettavaa kirjoitettavaa kirjoitettavaa kirjoitetta.
And you had not only the president, but all of his advisors saying that's not even Donald Trump's signature. That is a complete fake. This is all about destroying his reputation. And so Donald Trump said he was going to sue the Wall Street Journal for defamation, insisting that this was all just a fake attempt by the journal to make him look bad.
Why did the judge throw out the case? Well, for defamation cases in the US, you have to show actual malice, right? So you have to prove two things. Not only that it is false, but that the outlet who reported it should have known it was false or did know it was false, or they just acted in complete reckless disregard. And the judge noted in this case, there was no way that President Trump could have proven that in this instance.
So the judge said that President Trump could refile a lawsuit, but in this case there was nowhere close to showing that there was malice towards him. And last, Netta, any word from Donald Trump in reaction to the judge's decision? President Trump put out a Truth Social post confirming that he would refile a lawsuit. He's going to take a second crack at this before the deadline of April 27th that was set by the judge. So he has just a limited time to kind of redraw up the lawsuit.
