Reading of "If" by Rudyard Kipling in a British English Accent - Podcast 16

Recording of an Academy of Ideas debate on Tuesday 28 June 2022.

INTRODUCTION
Around the world, prices of a wide range of goods and commodities have been rising sharply for the past few months. In particular, the wholesale cost of energy has been rising fast as the world economy recovered from the pandemic restrictions. Petrol prices have risen by almost a third in the past 12 months. The UK domestic energy ‘price cap’, which hit a low of £1,042 in 2020, is expected to rise to £2,800 in October. Consumer price inflation has hit 9% and is likely to reach 10% by the end of the year. For those on lower incomes, who spend more of their income on food and energy, the impact is even greater.

There are multiple explanations for the rises: the post-pandemic recovery and problems with shipping have been widely cited. The war in Ukraine and sanctions against Russia are hitting energy and food prices. Many economists also point to the rise in the money supply – thanks to ultra-low interest rates, quantitative easing and huge government spending programmes. Rises in production have not kept pace with rising demand, so prices have risen.

But the other side of the story is that wages are not keeping up with rising prices. As a result, most people are seeing real-terms cuts in their living standards. Governments and central bankers seem desperate to keep a lid on wage rises, desperate to avoid a ‘wage-price spiral’, but the effect is to make most people significantly poorer. Those on fixed incomes may be hardest hit of all.

What are the main reasons for the rise in living costs? What can be done to help reduce the impact? Should we be looking beyond short-term and temporary factors? Is this a crisis that has been coming for some time?

In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Dr. Rene Pareja to discuss recent the cervical cancer management updates.

Highlights:
 - There is controversy in offering minimally invasive approaches to women with early-stage cervical cancer and tumors less than 2 cm.
 - The role of surgical staging remains controversial because guidelines still recommend it, despite evidence of a negative prospective randomized controlled trial.
 - Intermediate risk factors after a radical hysterectomy need to be re-evaluated in a very well designed prospective randomized trial, with modern radiotherapy techniques and updated inclusion criteria.

British Accent Podcast 38 is the pronunciation of farm animals, by Chris from: http://www.learnbritishenglish.co.uk/

Farm Animals - Podcast 38

Lucy Hurst-Brown asks why so many learning disabled people are so lonely.

Having worked with learning disabled people for 25 years, Lucy describes a system which has moved a very long distance from the impersonal, institutional care of the twentieth century, but which still has a long way to go before learning disabled people are properly integrated into their communities.

And in describing how she and her colleagues realised they may be causing the problem, and how they set about finding a solution, she also challenges all of us to play our part.

Producer: Giles Edwards. Published on June 29, 2016.
