00:00Welcome to Daily World Podcast on June 10, 2025. I'm Angela, here to bring you today's
00:16key developments in economics, politics, and global headlines. Let's dive right in.
00:23Justice Ketenshi Brown-Jackson has raised concerns regarding the Supreme Court's potential
00:27manipulation of its rules to favor the Trump administration. She specifically criticized
00:32the use of the shadow docket for expedited decisions, arguing that the court is applying
00:37different standards for Democratic and Republican administrations, which could undermine judicial
00:42norms and the integrity of the legal process. In military developments, an F-16 fighter jet
00:49provided to Ukraine reportedly shot down a Russian Sukhoi Su-35, marking a significant milestone
00:56in Ukraine's military capabilities. This operation involved coordination with a Swedish reconnaissance
01:02aircraft, illustrating the evolving dynamics of the conflict and Ukraine's enhanced aviation prowess.
01:10Meanwhile, a top Russian official, Sergei Ryabkov, stated that the Ukraine war will not conclude
01:16until NATO withdraws its troops from the Baltics. This marks a shift in the Kremlin's stance,
01:21emphasizing that NATO's eastward expansion is a fundamental issue that must be addressed to
01:27resolve the conflict, suggesting that the routes of the war extend beyond Ukraine.
01:32In Los Angeles, a CNN journalist, Jason Carroll, was detained by police while reporting live on
01:39ongoing protests against immigration enforcement. Although he was escorted away, he clarified that he was
01:45not arrested. The protests have escalated, prompting President Trump to deploy National Guard troops
01:50and active-duty Marines to restore order. The Pentagon plans to deploy around 700 Marines to Los Angeles
01:57amid these protests, with an increased National Guard presence expected, although the Insurrection Act is
02:03not anticipated to be invoked. The FBI has added Elpidio Reyna, a 40-year-old protester from Compton,
02:12to its most-wanted list for allegedly damaging government vehicles during anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles.
02:18The protests have intensified tensions between federal and state authorities, resulting in increased
02:24law enforcement presence and multiple arrests. California Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed a
02:31lawsuit against the Trump administration over the deployment of National Guard members to Los Angeles
02:36without the consent of Governor Gavin Newsom. The lawsuit claims that the order infringes on state
02:41sovereignty and was unlawful, not following proper protocols for federalizing the National Guard.
02:48In international news Greta Thunberg was deported from Israel after the Israeli Navy intercepted a
02:54charity vessel she was aboard, which aimed to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The Israeli Foreign Ministry
03:00stated that Thunberg and others were repatriated following the vessel's seizure, while some crew members
03:05contested their deportation. This incident highlights ongoing tensions related to Israel's blockade of
03:11Gaza amid a humanitarian crisis. Additionally, Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine, Michael Brodsky,
03:19confirmed that Israel has transferred Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine, countering the belief
03:24that Israel has not provided military support. He emphasized the importance of clear communication
03:30regarding Israel's involvement in Ukraine's defense efforts amidst domestic criticism.
03:36Germany's foreign intelligence chief, Bruno Kahl, warned that Russia aims to test NATO's resolve by
03:42extending confrontations beyond Ukraine, potentially employing tactics reminiscent of the 2014 Crimea
03:48annexation. He indicated that Russian officials believe NATO's collective defense obligations may not be
03:55practically enforceable, suggesting that smaller-scale provocations could challenge U.S. commitment to
04:00mutual defense under Article 5. In Denmark, Copenhagen and Aarhus have announced plans to stop using
04:08Microsoft products due to concerns over political risks and dependency on American technology.
04:14This decision reflects a broader European trend towards digital sovereignty, driven by fears that U.S.
04:20administrations could cut off access to critical digital infrastructure.
04:24In Italy, two referendums regarding citizenship and labor laws did not pass due to insufficient voter
04:31turnout, raising concerns about public engagement in the democratic process. Meanwhile, the Italian Navy is
04:38exploring the possibility of developing a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier as part of its long-term budget plan,
04:44extending to 2040, aligning with the establishment of Nucleotelia and the launch of the Minerva program.
04:53In Paris, Elisaveta Krivenogic, rumored to be the illegitimate daughter of Vladimir Putin,
04:58has been found working in the art scene, specifically at galleries showcasing anti-war artists.
05:04Despite speculation about her lineage, her employer emphasizes that family background does not influence
05:10its hiring decisions. Bulgaria is on the verge of joining the Eurozone, a move facing significant
05:16opposition from pro-Russian forces, including President Ruman Radev. The potential economic
05:22benefits of Eurozone membership have united various Bulgarian political parties against these opposing
05:28forces, although this fragile unity may be tested as the political landscape evolves.
05:33Lastly, Russia is ramping up its hybrid warfare tactics against Poland, including cyberattacks and
05:40disinformation, as it shifts its propaganda focus from Ukraine to Poland. This change aims to maintain
05:47a narrative of external threats to bolster domestic support for the Kremlin, amidst ongoing geopolitical
05:53tensions. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed all 17 members of the
06:01Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, aiming to restore public confidence in vaccine science.
06:08This decision raises concerns about the potential politicization of vaccine recommendations,
06:13and could undermine trust in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
06:18A new study reveals that fish, specifically rainbow trout, experience significant pain for at least 10
06:24minutes after being caught, particularly when killed by air asphyxiation. The research introduces the
06:30welfare footprint framework to measure and compare animal suffering, highlighting the need for
06:35reforms in fish slaughter practices to reduce distress and improve welfare standards.
06:41In Ontario, six infants born to unvaccinated mothers have contracted congenital measles,
06:47amid the largest outbreak in the Western Hemisphere. While all babies have recovered, Canada has reported over
06:532,000 cases, surpassing the total in the United States for 2025, resulting in at least one fatality.
07:02Norway has enacted a new law making sex without consent illegal, aligning with a broader trend in
07:08Europe to strengthen rape laws. This legislative change aims to enhance protections for victims,
07:14and ensure that consent is clearly established in sexual encounters.
07:17The Trump administration's budget proposal threatens to terminate numerous active and planned NASA
07:24spacecraft missions, significantly impacting the agency's scientific endeavors. This decision would
07:30effectively halt nearly all new major science missions, raising concerns about the future of
07:36space exploration and research. France has decided to incorporate the Netflix drama
07:42adolescents into secondary school curricula to educate teenagers about toxic masculinity and online
07:48harms. The initiative aims to raise awareness of the impact of misogynistic content on social media,
07:54and promote discussions around the influence of digital culture on youth behavior.
08:00A study from Mass General Brigham indicates that states with permissive gun laws have seen a 67%
08:07increase in pediatric firearm deaths since 2011, with over 6,000 excess deaths compared to expected rates.
08:15The research highlights the significant impact of firearm legislation on child safety,
08:20and calls for policy changes to address this public health crisis.
08:25U.S. scientists are expressing deep concern over President Trump's proposed 47% cuts to NASA's science
08:32budget, which could lead to significant layoffs and the cancellation of numerous critical space
08:37missions. The proposal has sparked fears about the future of scientific research and the morale of
08:42scientists, with bipartisan opposition suggesting the budget may not pass in Congress.
08:48A recent exploration in Paris reveals lingering radioactive traces left by Marie Curie in her lab and office,
08:54where she worked with radium and polonium over a century ago.
08:58Using Jiger counters, researchers have detected low levels of radioactivity on various objects,
09:04prompting discussions about the importance of preserving these historical artifacts as a testament
09:09to Curie's groundbreaking work in radioactivity.
09:13The University of Michigan has terminated its contract with undercover investigators who surveilled
09:18pro-Palestinian campus groups following public backlash after a Guardian report.
09:23The university's president acknowledged that the conduct of the investigators was unacceptable,
09:28and emphasized that no group should be targeted for their beliefs.
09:33Adult content creators in France are expressing distress following Pornhub's decision to block access
09:39in the country, rather than comply with new legislation aimed at securing the digital space.
09:44Many creators feel overlooked and anxious about the impact on their livelihoods,
09:48as the law intended to protect minors does not consider their perspectives or needs.
09:53An investigative report reveals the alarming rise of teenage hitmen in Sweden,
09:59highlighted by a recent murder case involving four 15-year-olds charged with killing a financial advisor.
10:05The incident underscores the influence of violent gangs, with the perpetrators having no prior
10:10connection to the victim or his family. Despite strong evidence, the teens have denied the charges,
10:16and are currently in foster care. New research indicates that erythritol, a common sugar substitute,
10:23may negatively affect brain blood vessel cells, increasing oxidative stress and impairing nitric
10:29oxide production, which are linked to higher stroke risk. The study found that erythritol exposure led to
10:35increased production of a blood vessel constricting compound, and reduced ability to release a protein
10:41essential for dissolving blood clots, raising concerns about its cardiovascular effects.
10:47A study reveals that individuals who endorse honor culture values may feel invulnerable to illness,
10:53leading to lower flu vaccination rates in the United States. In Turkey however, these same values
10:59are linked to higher vaccination rates due to a focus on family responsibility. The research suggests
11:05that cultural expressions of honor significantly influence health behaviors and vaccination uptake.
11:11A new study challenges the stereotype that attractive individuals possess better moral character,
11:17revealing that perceived morality is more influenced by personal liking than physical attractiveness.
11:23Conducted across three cultural contexts, the research indicates that emotional responses play
11:28a significant role in moral judgments. In April 2025, solar power generated 10% of global electricity,
11:37surpassing nuclear energy for the first time in recorded history. This milestone positions solar as the
11:43fourth largest source of electricity generation globally, following coal, gas and hydro, and highlights
11:49significant regional shifts, particularly in China where wind and solar combined, contributed 26% of the
11:55country's electricity output. A study of over 1.2 million U.S. military veterans aged 65 and older,
12:03indicates that geographic location significantly affects dementia risk, with veterans in the Southeast
12:08facing the highest rates. Factors such as education, chronic health conditions, lifestyle and healthcare access,
12:15contribute to these regional differences, highlighting the need for targeted prevention efforts.
12:19Holland has recorded the lowest fertility rate in the European Union, raising concerns about demographic
12:27trends and future population growth. This decline reflects broader societal and economic factors,
12:33affecting family planning and childbearing in the country.
12:37Hellyontologists have discovered fossilized stomach contents of a sauropod dinosaur named Judy,
12:42revealing its diet and providing direct evidence that these massive creatures were herbivores.
12:48The findings indicate that Judy consumed conifer bracts, seed pods, and leaves from flowering plants,
12:54shedding light on the feeding habits of these ancient giants.
12:58New research by the American Psychological Association, reveals a strong link between increased screen time
13:05and emotional and behavioral issues in children. The study analyzed data from over 292,000 kids under 10,
13:12finding that those who spend more time on screens are more likely to experience anxiety, depression,
13:17and low self-esteem. A Northeastern University researcher has uncovered how axolotls regenerate limbs,
13:25linking this ability to retinoic acid, a molecule also found in humans. This discovery could pave the way
13:32for advancements in human regenerative medicine, potentially enabling the regrowth of limbs by manipulating
13:38cellular responses to regenerative cues. China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has
13:46initiated trials for intelligent aged care robots to assist with cooking, cleaning, and providing
13:51emotional support, addressing the challenges posed by an aging population and a shortage of care workers.
13:57A new blood test developed by scientists from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and Novovia Pharmaceuticals can
14:05detect celiac disease without the need for painful gluten exposure. This innovative test identifies
14:12gluten-specific immune cells even in individuals on a gluten-free diet, promising a faster and less invasive
14:18diagnosis for millions living with undiagnosed celiac disease. A new study reveals that flea treatments containing
14:26fipronil and imidacloprid can leach into water when dogs swim, leading to toxic levels that threaten aquatic life.
14:33This raises significant concerns about the environmental impact of pet treatments and their contribution to
14:39water pollution. A study in Frontiers in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry suggests that wearable devices
14:46like Fitbits may enhance ADHD identification in adolescents by analyzing heart rate, activity levels,
14:53and energy expenditure. The research found that these devices could predict ADHD diagnoses with 89%
14:59accuracy, potentially leading to earlier and more personalized mental health care.
15:05New guidance from the UK government allows teachers in England to use AI for tasks like marking and writing
15:11letters to parents, aiming to reduce workloads and enhance face-to-face teaching. While the guidance
15:17encourages transparency and caution regarding AI's use, it highlights the potential benefits and
15:22challenges, including the need for clear policies and the risks of data breaches and inaccuracies.
15:30OpenAI has announced a milestone, reporting an annual recurring revenue of $10 billion, a notable
15:36increase from $5.5 billion last year. This growth has been fueled by the company's consumer products and
15:43API offerings, which now serve over 500 million weekly active users. Looking ahead, OpenAI aims to achieve
15:51$125 billion in revenue by 2029, while also navigating the challenges of managing substantial operating costs.
