Debate and switch? Biden’s stumble
America’s president had one primary task at last night’s debate: to close down speculation about his mental faculties. It went so poorly his whole campaign is now in doubt. Tentative results from a newish instrument give tantalising hints that the leading theory on the universe’s makeup might need reworking entirely (10:20). And bullfighting moves from literal arenas to the political arena (18:40).

Labour-saving: Britain’s probable next leader
After 14 years in opposition, Britain’s Labour Party is on track for a comprehensive win in next week’s general election. We profile Keir Starmer, its leader, asking whether his modus operandi can turn the country around, too. Despite the obvious distractions phones represent, Americans want their children to have them in schools (10:50). And auction houses get into the business of “art-based lending” (16:40).

Pier pressure: a visit to Gaza’s aid platform
Our correspondents were the first media to see the American-built JLOTS pier, intended for aid deliveries into Gaza. Things have not at all gone to plan. After years of slipping, house prices are on the rise again; we ask why (16:51). And a trip to see the Savannah Bananas, a goofy exhibition-baseball team that has serious lessons for the major leagues (22:57).

Spring a leaker: Assange goes free

Meanwhile Peter Navarro, Donald Trump’s trade hawk, remains behind bars—but is plotting for a second Trump term (09:25). And the social-media trend changing tinned fish from frumpy to foodie fare (18:33).

After decades as a scientific also-ran, China is becoming a superpower particularly in the physical sciences. We examine the risks and opportunities that poses for the West. Our correspondent looks into why denizens of the Mediterranean live so long (10.32). And this year’s confluence of two broods makes for a rare preponderance of cicadas (17.53).

What a double standard?
"The more Russians we kill right now, the fewer will be left for our children to kill." Is this is acceptable for you? So let`s make a mental exercise and change "russians" to "jews". Still acceptable? Ugh, that’s racist
Two small hills
Why does the podcast start with “your world”? Is Jason not from this world? At the end maybe it would be politer to insert the word “please” when asking for a review?
When the podcast started it seemed that certain parts of recent history were a complete mystery to Jason. The episode on the history of the troubles in Ireland was excruciating. Luckily he has improved.
Taiwan is not a country, it is part of China.
You have lowest knowledge of world politics. Shame on you. You’re the so-called “Fake media” as Trump said. Fake, Fake, Fake
