Consider This from NPR - Cumberbatch and Colman team up to play a couple at war
So many movies are made about the beginning of a relationship. That first spark of attraction. That first kiss.
The new dark comedy “The Roses” is about the other end – when it's all falling apart.
Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman star as Theo and Ivy, a couple who was once very much in love. Two children and a transatlantic move later, they’re now struggling to save their marriage.
No one thinks it’s going to work – including their therapist.
Cumberbatch and Colman sit down with host Mary Louise Kelly to discuss how they leveraged their real-life friendship to play two people who love to hate each other.

Former Al Jazeera journalist Sana Saeed joins Bad Faith to discuss comedian Adam Friedland's viral interview with Zionist Representative Ritchie Torres and the internet's harsh reaction to Sana and other critics who questioned whether the enthusiastic reaction to this particular interview is reflective of the disproportionate value the West places on the feelings of Jewish people versus the Arab victims of Israel's genocide. Also, Sana digs into Taylor Lorenz' viral story exposing a number of liberal content creators as paid mouthpieces for the DNC and ends with Kshama Sawant's takedown of Rep. Adam Smith's rhetorical shift "left" on Palestine.

Newshour - Hundreds of people killed in Afghan earthquake
Emergency crews are struggling to reach the mountainous eastern Kunar province of Afghanistan where the UN says more than 800 people have been killed in a magnitude 6.0 earthquake. We speak to the Afghan Red Crescent.
Also in the programme: China, India and Russia unite in their criticism of the West at a summit in the northern Chinese city of Tianjin; and why millions of people around the world who take an aspirin a day to ward off strokes and heart attacks might soon be taking a different drug.

The Daily Signal - From Reagan to Trump: Rethinking Poverty Solutions in America
Ever since that former California Democrat Governor named Ronald Reagan gave his “Time for Choosing” speech, Conservative’s have wandered further and further away from engaging the issue of poverty. However, Reagan’s ‘do a little arithmetic’ point on poverty budgets vs how much help it’s been to the poor community still pencils out.
President Trump shocked the GOP establishment when he went into Detroit in 2016 and asked, “are you better off now?” Eight years later the Black and Latino community support for the GOP has grown to record levels but has the policy the effort to bring free-market, liberty-based solutions grown to match?
We sit down with Dr Ed Kornegay and Ehi Aimiuwu from the Center for Poverty Solutions and the Illinois Policy Center to hear about the success that they have had in Chicago and can that be exported to places like Richmond, Norfolk, Charlottesville or even… DC?
