Lost Debate - Modi in America, SCOTUS Scandal, Failing Students, Food Police

Justice Alito is the recent focus of SCOTUS ethics scandals. Is it finally time for reform?

India's Prime Minister Modi is in America for a much-hyped state visit with President Biden. We dive into who Narendra Modi is, how he came to power, and American misconceptions about the leader of the world's largest democracy.

Alarming new national data shows math and reading scores for 13-year-olds are the lowest in a decade. How did we get here? And, what should we do about it?

Some lawmakers want to stop Americans from using benefits to buy junk food, but opponents argue Congress shouldn’t police people's diets. Rikki and Ravi debate how far should the government go.

[03:16] - SCOTUS Scandal

[14:34] - Modi in America

[35:31] - Failing Students

[50:26] -Food Police

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - The Astonishing Plot Of Smuggling Mifepristone Into The U.S

Mifepristone has recently been in the headlines after conflicting court rulings about the abortion drug's FDA approval more than 20 years ago. But even before that, the drug had been the subject of controversy. Cover Up: The Pill Plot, is a new podcast series that shares the shocking story of how mifepristone was smuggled into the U.S., kicked off a U.S. Supreme Court battle, and led to the founding of a secret lab to manufacture a copy of the drug. Reset talks to creator and host of the series, TJ Raphael, about why this history has yet to be told and what it reveals about the current debate.

Science In Action - Human embryo models

Over the last week, news of “synthetic human embryos” has made headlines around the world. Science in Action is getting to the bottom of the sensational story.

We talk to two of the researchers who have made the embryo models from stem cells in their labs; Professor Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz from the University of Cambridge and California Institute of Technology, and Professor Jacob Hanna from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. They tell us how they made the embryo models, what their aims are, and their own ethical considerations.

The scientific community is excited, but not surprised, by the breaking research. We hear how Dr Andreia Bernardo, group leader at Imperial College London, could use these structures in her future research.

Finally, Director of the Reproductive Sociology Research Group at Cambridge University, Professor Sarah Franklin, and Professor of Law at Stanford University, Hank Greely, tackle the legal and ethical constraints on this kind of work, and why it is important for understanding the health of mothers and babies.
