At least 1.2 million Americans have died from COVID-19; thousands of them just since January. As the nation marks five years since the pandemic-causing virus appeared in this country, we’ll look at how Native Americans have recovered — and how they haven’t. Businesses closed down or have yet to regain their pre-pandemic levels, school enrollment remains weakened, and trust in medical science — something Native Americans already lacked — is diminished. We’ll examine what we learned from the unprecedented public health emergency five years later. California’s $9.5 billion healthcare program for undocumented immigrants is $3 billion over budget, forcing lawmakers to consider tough cuts. Mexico just banned genetically modified corn, pushing back against U.S. agribusiness. Tech stocks are tumbling—what’s behind the sell-off? And the Olympics are staying put! NBC secures broadcast rights through 2036 in a massive $3 billion deal.
It’s the month of Ramadan, when Muslims across the world fast between dawn and sunset in the belief that it will bring them closer to Allah. And this has inspired the Unexpected Elements team to turn their attention to all things fast.
First, we explore the latest research around intermittent fasting.
Next, we contemplate a new way to relax by harnessing the time-distorting power of black holes.
We then find out why deserts in South Africa are spreading at an alarming rate.
Plus, we’re joined by Dr Claire Lee, a particle physicist who works with the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. She explains how she and her colleagues accelerate particles to phenomenal speeds, how they detect these particles when they collide, and what this can tell us about the origins of the universe.
That, plus many more Unexpected Elements.
Presenters: Marnie Chesterton, with Tristan Ahtone and Leonie Joubert. Producers: William Hornbrook, with Alice Lipscombe-Southwell, Harrison Lewis, Debbie Kilbride and Noa Dowling.
The International Criminal Court has arrested Rodrigo Duterte, a former president of the Philippines. The case highlights both the strengths and the weaknesses of international justice.

And remembering Athol Fugard, a playwright who spoke truth to power in South Africa’s apartheid era (17:04).

OA1137 - The arrest and detention of U.S. lawful permanent resident Mahmoud Kahlil in direct retaliation for his Constitutionally-protected speech and association as a campus organizer at Columbia University is the single greatest violation of any one individual’s right committed by the second Trump administration to date. Matt explains how an obscure Cold War-era provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act is being used for in one of the only times in modern history to justify the Trump administration’s attempt to revoke Kahlil’s residency, and why this unprecedented assault on Khalil’s most basic civic and political rights should concern us all.
Finally, in today’s footnote: A January 6th defendant who has won so much that he is truly tired of winning.
