00:00This is Daily World Podcast, coming to you on July 11, 2025.
00:15I'm Angela, breaking down the biggest updates in global markets and international relations.
00:21Chris Landry, a legal U.S. resident from New Hampshire, has been denied re-entry to the
00:26United States after a family trip to Canada due to past criminal convictions.
00:31Despite holding a green card, he now faces uncertainty about his future in the U.S.
00:36and has sought assistance from local congressional representatives.
00:40U.S. Customs and Border Protection has indicated that green card holders with prior convictions
00:45may be subject to detention or immigration hearings.
00:49In a significant development regarding military support, President Donald Trump announced a
00:55deal with NATO to send weapons, including Patriot air defense systems, to Ukraine, with NATO
01:00covering the associated costs.
01:03This announcement comes as NATO and U.S. officials are actively working to ensure Ukraine receives
01:08the necessary military support to defend against Russian aggression.
01:12President Trump also indicated he would soon make a major statement regarding Russia.
01:17During the Ukraine recovery conference held in Italy, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated
01:23that Russia should pay at least 500 billion euros in compensation to Ukraine, asserting that
01:28frozen Russian assets should remain untouched until this payment is made.
01:33The conference focused on rebuilding Ukraine's economy and infrastructure amidst ongoing conflict,
01:38including discussions on new EU financing initiatives.
01:42In Gaza, an Israeli strike resulted in the deaths of 15 individuals, including eight children,
01:48outside a health center in Deir al-Bala, where families were waiting for medical aid.
01:53The Israeli military reported that the strike targeted a Hamas militant,
01:57but expressed regret for any harm caused to uninvolved individuals.
02:01This incident underscores the severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza amid ongoing conflict and blockade.
02:08The Trump administration is facing strong opposition from the Space Force,
02:12and over 450 aerospace companies, regarding a proposal to cut funding for the Office of Space Commerce,
02:18and eliminate the civilian-run traffic coordination system for space.
02:23Industry trade groups are urging Congress to maintain the current budget,
02:27to support space traffic coordination, which is critical for managing satellite movements,
02:31and avoiding collisions in increasingly crowded orbits.
02:34In a related matter, Senator Dick Durbin criticized Texas' effort to relocate the space shuttle Discovery
02:41from the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum to Space Center Houston, labeling it a heist.
02:47This initiative, supported by Texas Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz and signed into law by President Trump,
02:53is under scrutiny due to its high costs and the appropriateness of the transfer.
02:57Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is investigating Google, Microsoft, OpenAI,
03:04and Meta for allegedly biased AI chatbot responses that rank President Trump unfavorably regarding anti-Semitism.
03:10The investigation seeks extensive documentation on chatbot training and content moderation,
03:17raising questions about the subjective nature of these rankings,
03:20and the broader implications for AI liability and free speech.
03:23In a technical mishap, White House Deputy Chief Stephen Miller's interview on Fox News was abruptly cut short
03:31when the camera he was using ran out of battery while he was discussing immigration policies and funding for ICE agents.
03:38The segment was concluded by Fox News host Kellyanne Conway following the unexpected interruption.
03:43Experts are voicing concerns about President Trump's proposed steep tariffs,
03:49which could reach up to 200% on imported pharmaceuticals and 50% on copper.
03:54Analysts warn that these measures may increase health care costs and weaken the U.S. economy,
03:59potentially provoking retaliatory trade actions that could burden American consumers and businesses.
04:04President Trump's budget chief Russell Vaught has accused Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell of mismanaging the Fed,
04:12particularly regarding an expensive renovation of the Fed's headquarters.
04:16These accusations arise amid ongoing pressure from the president on Powell
04:20to cut interest rates and potential plans for his removal.
04:23The European Union is currently divided over allowing the U.K. access to its EUR-150 billion safe weapons fund,
04:31aimed at reducing reliance on U.S. defense systems.
04:34France has expressed opposition to full British involvement,
04:38citing Brexit and strategic concerns,
04:40while some EU members view the U.K. as a vital military ally.
04:45Negotiations continue amid differing positions among member states.
04:48The Global Combat Air Program, a strategic partnership between the U.K., Japan and Italy,
04:55has opened its international headquarters in Reading, U.K.,
04:58to develop a next-generation stealth fighter jet by the mid-2030s.
05:03This initiative aims to integrate advanced technologies and support thousands of high-skilled jobs,
05:08reflecting trilateral cooperation to maintain cutting-edge combat air capabilities.
05:12In a security breach, David Franklin Slater, a U.S. Air Force civilian employee with top-secret clearance,
05:20pleaded guilty to leaking classified information about the Russia-Ukraine war
05:24to a woman he met on a dating app.
05:27The woman, identified as a foreign national, persuaded Slater to share sensitive military details,
05:33violating his non-disclosure agreement.
05:35He faces up to 10 years in prison, with sentencing scheduled for October 8.
05:39President Trump has announced a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1, up from
05:47the current 25%, and is considering imposing 15-20% tariffs on other trading partners.
05:54This decision is part of a broader trade conflict, citing issues such as fentanyl flow and trade
05:59barriers, raising concerns about potential escalations with the EU and other countries.
06:04Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has vowed to defend Canadian interests,
06:08while continuing trade negotiations with the U.S.
06:12Poland's minister has warned that the country may block the social media platform X,
06:17due to hate-filled posts generated by Grok.ai, highlighting ongoing concerns over content
06:22moderation, and the impact of AI-generated content on public discourse.
06:28Major energy consumers in Romania, Bulgaria and Greece, have accused Austria of abusing EU
06:34regulations to limit energy flow through its interconnections, resulting in high energy prices in Southeast
06:40Europe. They are urging the European Commission to intervene by implementing support measures and
06:46accelerating grid upgrades to ensure a fair and functional energy market, reflecting a lack
06:50of solidarity within the EU. Michael Hudson has discussed the economic foundations and decline
06:57of the American empire, arguing that U.S. financial policies, particularly under President Trump, have
07:03accelerated the erosion of dollar dominance. He suggests that the U.S. must abandon its imperial
07:08ambitions and re-industrialize to remain economically viable.
07:12In Missouri, Governor Mikeo has signed a bill repealing paid sick leave, overturning a measure that was
07:19passed by approximately 58 percent of voters. Business groups had lobbied heavily against the measure,
07:25arguing it would cost jobs, and the bill also repeals annual inflation adjustments for the minimum wage.
07:32In San Diego, a 71-year-old U.S. citizen Barbara Stone was handcuffed and detained for eight hours by ICE agents
07:40while observing immigration court proceedings. Stone denies the accusation of pushing an officer,
07:46and no charges have been filed. This incident has raised significant concerns regarding the treatment
07:51of volunteers and its implications for asylum seekers. New data from Denmark indicates that HPV vaccination
08:00has effectively reduced infections with high-risk cancer causing HPV types 16 and 18
08:05among women vaccinated since 2008. However, infections with other high-risk HPV types not
08:12covered by the vaccine remain prevalent, suggesting that cervical cancer screening strategies may need
08:17to be adjusted as these vaccinated cohorts age. A global decline in birth rates, attributed to women's
08:24increased freedom and economic independence, is presenting demographic challenges that could impact
08:30workforce size, economic growth, and social safety nets. While some view this decline as a crisis requiring
08:36intervention, others emphasize the importance of respecting individual reproductive choices.
08:42A study from the University of Mississippi reveals that young adult literature is increasingly featuring
08:48older teen protagonists, which may alienate younger readers aged 13 to 15. This trend, possibly influenced by the
08:56significant number of adult readers in the young adult genre, raises concerns about the availability of
09:01relatable content for younger teens. Researchers have developed a deep learning model that analyzes hand
09:08movements to identify neurodivergent disorders such as autism and ADHD with surprising accuracy. This method
09:16demonstrates potential for early, non-invasive screening tools that could improve diagnostic efficiency and
09:23support timely interventions for neurodivergent individuals. In a controversial statement,
09:30Jarzegorz Braun, a far-right member of the European parliament from Poland, claimed that the Auschwitz
09:35concentration camp is fake. This assertion has drawn widespread condemnation due to the historical
09:41significance of Auschwitz as a site of Nazi atrocities during World War II. The use of AI chatbots on dating apps
09:50is becoming common, with individuals crafting charming messages that often fail to translate into authentic
09:56interactions during in-person meetings. Experts emphasize the importance of genuine human connection,
10:03highlighting the gap between AI-generated personas and real-life authenticity.
10:09A study published in PLOS One finds that loneliness significantly increases the risk of depression,
10:15with individuals who frequently feel lonely experiencing a five-fold increase in depression risk
10:20compared to those who do not. This research underscores loneliness as a critical public health issue
10:26affecting all demographics. A Phase II study from MD Anderson Cancer Center reveals that 87% of stage-free melanoma patients
10:36treated with pre-surgical immunotherapy remain alive and 80% are disease-free after four years.
10:42The study also identified biomarkers that predict better outcomes, emphasizing the potential of neoadjuvant
10:48immunotherapy for improving long-term survival. A comprehensive meta-analysis of antidepressant
10:55withdrawal studies indicates that most individuals experience only mild withdrawal symptoms when
11:00discontinuing antidepressants, with severe withdrawal being uncommon. Researchers clarify that depression
11:07relapse is not a withdrawal symptom, but rather recurrence of the illness. Research shows that fish may possess
11:14greater cognitive abilities than previously thought, with a new tool allowing scientists to study fish
11:21intelligence in their natural habitats. This study suggests that lab-based assessments may underestimate
11:27fish cognition and has implications for the care of captive fish. Women have long reported significant pain
11:35during intrauterine device placements, prompting updated guidelines from the CDC and ACOG for better pain
11:41management options. Despite the recognition of this issue, many healthcare providers still underutilize
11:47effective pain relief methods. Following the signing of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act by President Donald
11:54Trump, millions of U.S. student loan borrowers may face significantly higher monthly payments due to
12:00changes in income-driven repayment plans. The new law introduces the Repayment Assistance Plan and an updated
12:07standard repayment plan, increasing financial burdens for borrowers.
12:13A study published in Brain Research indicates that okra supplementation can prevent long-term metabolic problems
12:20caused by early life overfeeding in rats, improving insulin sensitivity, and reducing inflammatory markers.
12:27Further research is needed to determine if these effects are applicable to humans.
12:31Scientists at the Salk Institute have identified a brain circuit that links physical pain to emotional
12:38suffering, challenging previous beliefs about pain processing. This discovery may lead to new
12:44treatments for chronic pain and emotional distress. A recent study reveals that the construction of nearly 7,000
12:51dams from 1835 to 2011 has shifted Earth's poles by about one meter and contributed to a 21-millimeter
13:00drop in global sea levels. This alteration in mass distribution is significant for understanding
13:06future climate change impacts. Finally, Tensor Art has updated its content policy to prohibit nudity
13:13and celebrity images on its platform, aiming to create a safer environment for users by restricting sensitive content.
13:22Lowes CEO Marvin Ellison has advised young workers, particularly from Generation Z,
13:28to consider careers in skilled trades and customer-facing roles instead of pursuing corporate office jobs.
13:34He emphasized that artificial intelligence cannot replace hands-on work, such as home repairs,
13:39and highlighted the growing demand for skilled trade workers.
13:43This perspective underscores the importance of investing in these careers to address workforce shortages,
13:48contrasting with concerns about AI eliminating entry-level jobs.
13:52In Europe, the chief executive of JP Morgan has issued a warning, indicating that the continent is losing
13:59ground in key economic areas. His remarks reflect ongoing concerns about Europe's competitive position
14:05in the global market. Amazon has reported a significant decline in sales during its Prime Day event,
14:12with figures dropping by 41% on the first day, compared to previous years. This downturn signals
14:19challenges for the retail giant in sustaining consumer interest during its major sales initiatives.
14:25Gold has seen a substantial increase this year, rising by 25%, and analysts suggest it may continue
14:32to climb as central banks move away from the US dollar. Goldman Sachs forecasts that gold could reach
14:37$3,700 an ounce by the end of 2025, driven by shifts in currency values and trade policies.
14:45The relatively smaller size of the gold market means that even minor changes in investment flows can lead
14:51to significant price movements. In the tech sector, Indeed and Glassdoor are set to reduce their workforce
14:58by approximately 1,300 jobs, primarily in research, people operations and sustainability roles.
15:05This decision comes as their parent company, Recruit Holdings, restructures to place a greater emphasis on
15:10artificial intelligence. The integration of Glassdoor operations into Indeed is part of an effort to
15:16streamline the hiring process using AI technology. That's a wrap for Daily World Podcast. I'm Angela.
