His insistence on free speech within science could pave the way for new paradigms in public health discussions. Transitioning to the Panama Canal, we’re excited to dissect a monumental $23 billion deal that shifts port control and raises questions about U.S. and Chinese influence on this strategic waterway. The discussion doesn't stop there, as we report on the capture of Mohammad Sharifullah, the brain behind the Kabul bombing, detailing the emotional impact on victims' families and the importance of accountability in military operations.
