Ep.303 - 4B Movement, The "Right To Exist" & Private Jets

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. Donald Trump wins the US Presidential Election.
2. Australia announces legislation to ban social media for children under 16.
3. Three people are charged in connection with the death of One Direction's Liam Payne.
4. Iraq proposes law to lower the age of consent for girls from 18 to nine.
5. Ukraine & Russia exchange 30 & 145 drone strikes respectively over the weekend.

In Culture: (11:49) With the Trump victory settling into us like a shit we just took going back up inside us, women in the US are looking to South Korea for a way to upend the patriarchy. It's called "4B" and if I'm being real... It won't work. (Article By Constance Grady)

In Politics: (30:11) Something that has annoyed me during the Palestinian Genocide is Israel's "Right to exist". But does any state have the right to exist? (Article By Moncef Khane)

In Environment: (40:09) Another year, another COP is going down, this time in Baku, Azerbaijan. But the irony is not lost on me that private jets are used to go to a LITERAL CONFERENCE ABOUT THE CLIMATE. (Article By Damian Carrington)

Lastly, in Science: (50:56) A Scientist with a returning breast cancer diagnoses took matters into her own hands and used experimental treatments to cure herself. Whilst she succeeded, it has raised up an often talked-about subject in science: the ethics of self-experimentation. (Article By Zoe Corbyn)
