Stock markets and supermarkets: how business is deploying AI

In this podcast episode, I analyze United States President Joe Biden's COVID-19 response through the political figure of Jeff Zients, who was the COVID-19 Response Coordinator early on in Biden's administration before becoming the White House Chief-of-Staff. I introduce Zients as a former bagel chain owner, using his occupation as an inconspicuous entry point into Zients' career. I then peel back the layers of Zients' past as a businessman to reveal that he has consistently prioritized corporate profits and self-interest over public health. 

The Pandemic Politics of Jeff Zients

A deeply emotional song about the pandemic — isolation, grief, and the hope that came from breaking apart to heal together.

Humans rely on the ocean, not just for food, but for industries such as shipping, telecommunications, and renewable energy - as well as its vital role in absorbing carbon and regulating the climate. Is there a way to make our interactions with the ocean beneficial to the ecosystems? Alfredo Giron, head of Friends of Ocean Action, believes 'Marine Prosperity Areas' could do just that.

Cuts to aid budgets are having a huge impact on the delivery of healthcare in Africa, the Forum's Lora du Moulin tells Radio Davos. And the head of Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, Jean Kaseya, says why tech and regional collaboration give him hope for the future of the continent and the health of its people.

This week, on the Global Research News Hour we share the disappointing news, in the eyes of some critics, that a modified, watered down version of the  Pandemic  Agreement was finally approved at the World Health Assembly last month, and the prospects for rights and national sovereignty moving forward.
In our first half hour, we play an excerpt from a September 2024 interview with journalist and film maker James Corbett of the Corbett Report on last year’s failure of the Pandemic Agreement in which he successfully predicted the threat it represented   would be approved sooner or later. And in our second half hour, we spoke to commentator Dr. Meryl Nass about what is still problematic about this year’s approach to stopping apparently much more frequent pandemic calls in the years ahead.
