Chainsaw out of gas? Milei’s experiment wobbles

A telling local-election loss, persistent allegations of scandal and an American pledge to prop up the peso: much is chipping away at the experiment of Argentina’s President Javier Milei. Long after the twin troubles of a pandemic and interest-rate rises, America’s commercial-property sector might at last be recovering. And we return to an interview with Jane Goodall from our archives. Get a world of insights by subscribing to Economist Podcasts+.

The Weekend Intelligence: North Korea’s dark turn

Trying to observe life in North Korea is like looking through a glass, darkly. Since journalists can’t go in, and hardly anyone comes out, the only way to understand what's happening is to assemble fragments of information until a bigger picture emerges. That’s exactly what our East Asia Bureau Chief, Noah Sneider, has been doing in recent months. In this episode he joins Intelligence host Rosie Blau to explain why, since the Covid-19 pandemic, the hermit kingdom has become even more sealed off.

Tipped scales: the Supreme Court expands the president’s power

The Supreme Court begins a new term next week and it will likely be a good one for President Trump. Since its last term ended, the court has handed him victory in a string of emergency decisions. If the court continues to deliver for the president, he will be even more powerful than he is already. But at what expense? John Prideaux hosts with Charlotte Howard and Steve Coll.

Losing its sparkle: can the natural-diamond industry survive?

De Beers built an empire by convincing the world that “a diamond is forever”. But the supply chain it once dominated is under pressure from cheap lab-grown diamonds that are chemically identical to the mined stones De Beers has been peddling for 140 years. Threats ranging from tariffs to the weakened Chinese economy stalk the diamond industry too, and the iconic De Beers business is now up for sale. So, is there still room for natural diamonds and the companies that sell them, in a world awash with man-made gems? Hosts: Mike Bird and Alice Fulwood. Guests: diamond-industry analyst Paul Zimnisky; and Alexander Lacik, CEO of Pandora. Transcripts of our podcasts are available via economist.com/podcasts.

John Pendry: the physics of invisibility

How do you make an object invisible? Professor Sir John Pendry worked out that it involves guiding and bending light in precise ways by changing the structure of the material it is travelling through. His subsequent work on the interactions between light and matter has led to a new class of materials, known as “metamaterials”, which enable seemingly impossible things to happen. In this episode, he tells us how they work and their applications in everything from 5G technology to simulating the conditions around black holes. Host: Alok Jha, The Economist’s science and technology editor. Guest: Professor Sir John Pendry of Imperial College London. Transcripts of our podcasts are available via economist.com/podcasts.

Bring Jon Fasman back

Checks and Balances isn’t what it once was without Jon Fasman. Idriss’ smug attitude is unwelcome. I missed Jon Fasman as soon as he left, but especially since Elon took over the treasury payment systems three weeks ago, Idriss didn’t indicate that his pulse was elevated in the slightest. As we endure a power grab in America and are losing what’s best about our values as a nation, we need Jon Fasman back with us.

I could not believe my ears when I heard the hagiographic nonsense obituary they posted for Jimmy Swaggart, a religious fundamentalist and ideologue of the worst type. You would have thought that the woman who was reading this was speaking about Mother Teresa or someone who at least tried to help a fellow human being. This guy was as horrible of a hypocrite as they come and like Trump, not worthy of the second thought After he leaves the planet
