From infantry to air defences and even electronic warfare, improved strategies and engineering could threaten Ukraine’s counter-offensive plans. How can these ramped-up defences be breached?

What happens when being a good girl doesn't work? What happens when you finally decide to know your worth and act on it? Is your joy worth the temporary sacrifice of familiarity and comfort? Or is it safer to settle into the subjugation and watch your life pass you by?

Chidera is the angel on your shoulder, here to remind you that it's not too late to redeem your power as a woman. She's also the shoulder demon that will 100% enable you to be that extra little bit more selfish. After all, men do it all the time right?

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s divorce started as a celebrity scandal, but has evolved into a larger discussion surrounding the harassment many women face when trying to leave a relationship. In this episode, host Roy Wood Jr. sits down with Daily Show writer Christiana Mbakwe-Medina and journalist Rachel Louise Snyder to discuss how The Daily Show has covered this topic, the many types of violence women endure on a daily basis, and the lengths women go to in order to feel safe.

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor Gossip Edition. Today we are joined by Sports Illustrated Model and Bachelor Fan, Ella Halikas. On this episode we dive into hot tea from Bachelor Nation as well as Pop Culture and entertainment. We first get into talking about the slap heard around the world, Will Smith’s and Chris Rock’s fight on National T.V. during The Oscars. We then bring on Serene to get the update on how she is doing, what she has been up to since the show, if her thoughts on the season have changed since seeing everything play out week to week, and if we’ll see her in Paradise. We then dive into the new contestants appearing on the next season of The Bachelorette, talking about who we’re most excited about, and who we think Gabby and Rachel will place into their Top 4s. 

“Bachelor is known for casting hot and awkward men.”
