In Society: (11:14) The antisemitism panic in the UK has been at a fever pitch in recent weeks in light of the Golders Green stabbing.

In Environment: (25:22) Whilst its not the full-on futureproofing effort I'm looking for from cities & nations, some are at least preparing for the future deadly heatwaves. Will this preparation do anything to at least neutralise our impending doom? (Article By Natalie Donback)
In Politics: (40:25) Over in the US, the Voting Right Act - the landmark act centred by the Civil Rights Movement - was gutted by the US Supreme Court. And like flies to shit, Southern states are rushing to redraw maps back to Jim Crow levels of voter suppression. (Article By Ari Berman)
Lastly, In Photography: (50:14) A name I discovered in recent years during my Photography journey is Dorothea Lange who was a key member in documenting the US from The Great Depression to Post-War reconstruction.
