Donald Trump compie 80 anni e Altre/Storie Americane due. In questa puntata speciale ripercorriamo il romanzo della vita del presidente degli Stati Uniti partendo da Coney Island, perché un luna park è il luogo che più di ogni altro aiuta a capirlo. Dall'infanzia nel Queens alla Casa Bianca, passando per la televisione e la politica, raccontiamo la storia di un uomo che ha vissuto sulle montagne russe, ha cambiato la realtà come nella casa degli specchi e ha interpretato ogni confronto come un autoscontro.

La decisione di attaccare l'Iran, le valutazioni errate, lo stallo e il bisogno di spostare l'attenzione mettendo nel mirino Cuba: all'inizio del fine settimana del Memorial Day, con i prezzi della benzina e del barbecue alle stelle, Trump è sempre più in difficoltà, tra il rischio di diventare un'anatra zoppa alle elezioni di midterm e la necessità di trovare, come ha fatto spesso nella sua vita, un diversivo vincente.

In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, Maurice Bloem speaks with Patrick Watt, CEO of Christian Aid, about what it means to lead in a time where poverty, climate, and inequality are deeply intertwined. Patrick reflects on his journey from a rural upbringing in England to leading one of the world's most respected faith-based development organizations, sharing how his background in theology and development shaped a lifelong commitment to justice. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes that real motivation comes not from abstract goals, but from encounters with communities, partners, and supporters who dedicate themselves to a purpose beyond their own lives.   The discussion explores the evolving role of faith in development, the shifting landscape of institutional religion, and the growing importance of locally-led approaches. Patrick speaks candidly about the challenge of “letting go” of power as an organization, describing Christian Aid's role increasingly as a convener, connector, and catalyst. He also reflects on the role of prayer and perspective in sustaining leadership, and the importance of holding difference while working toward shared values of dignity, equality, and justice.   Patrick Watt is the Chief Executive Officer for Christian Aid, leading the organization in its work to tackle poverty and promote dignity, equality, and justice. He works closely with the SLT and the Board of Trustees and engages staff, supporters, partners, and sponsoring churches to realize Christian Aid's vision. Patrick has widespread experience working in development and humanitarian organizations, including Oxfam, ActionAid, and Save the Children International, where he was the Advocacy and Campaigns Director. He holds degrees in Theology from the University of Cambridge and in Development Studies from the London School of Economics.   Listener Engagement: Discover the songs picked by Patrick Watt and other guests on our #walktalklisten here.

What happens when excitement, freedom, and travel collide, but no one has a real safety plan?In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer turn a timely conversation about spring break and travel into a bigger lesson about responsibility, awareness, and looking out for the people you love. Using the tragic story of Jimmy Gracie as a starting point, they talk about why travel needs more than good vibes and a charged phone. It needs a plan, a buddy system, and clear communication before anyone leaves home.The episode also touches on how technology can help us travel, but also make us careless when we rely on it too much. Farley and Jennifer remind listeners that phones die, plans change, and risky situations can unfold fast, especially when alcohol, unfamiliar places, and poor judgment mix together. One of the biggest takeaways is simple but powerful: arrive together, stay together, leave together. This episode is a strong reminder for parents, young adults, and travelers of any age that preparation is not fear. It is care, wisdom, and love in action.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(1:08) Spring break travel and real safety concerns(2:58) Oral exams and AI cheating(4:12) Why women's sports need more visibility(5:24) AI, Hollywood, and ethical concerns(8:51) The travel pact every group needs(10:53) Why phones cannot be your only plan(14:02) Risky behavior raises travel dangers(17:27) The family agreement before travel(21:14) Code words, meetup spots, and backup chargers(23:38) Why paper copies still matter(24:37) The Jimmy pact, stay together(25:34) Got Grit spotlight on ActionAid(27:04) Finding your people and protecting them(28:52) OutroSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow us:Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

Riham Jafari has heard the stories of her grandparents. The stories of a time before the Nakba when her family lived a simple existence in a village outside Jerusalem. They enjoyed farming the land and their independence.It was a “beautiful life” her grandparents said before occupation came.After the Nakba, they lived in a camp one square kilometre, crowded with nowhere for children to play.Riham was born in the Dheisheh camp near Bethlehem. Today Riham Jafari works for Action Aid and when she came to Dublin last week she spoke about the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank.On Free State today she talks to us about life under occupation, why the Occupied Territories Bill has to pass and why a two-state solution with an independent Palestine could be a reality if the world was determined to see it.

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Mushtaq Ahmed Malla to the Restorative Works! Podcast. Mushtaq joins us and shares his journey that weaves together youth education, mental health counseling, child rights advocacy, and an unwavering commitment to creating humane, relationship-centered systems of justice. He discusses how his Fulbright–Humphrey Fellowship at the University of Minnesota introduced him to restorative practices and connected him with a global network of practitioners. He explains how those insights sparked innovative programs inside his facilities in the Jammu and Kashmir Prisons Department in India, including Writing to Victims, a reflective writing initiative inspired by apology-letter models he observed in the United States. By turning this concept into a structured competition and a circle-based process, he invites incarcerated people to confront their choices, articulate their emotions, and begin the difficult work of self-understanding. The initiative has already led to powerful personal breakthroughs. Mushtaq plans to compile selected writings into a future publication.  Throughout the episode, Mushtaq reflects on what relationship-building means in a prison context, why indigenous cultural knowledge matters, and how restorative approaches can shape policing, schools, reentry, and even national criminal justice policy. His vision points to a future where restorative justice becomes a recognized and respected alternative that supports safety, accountability, and dignity across communities worldwide.  Mushtaq currently serves as the Superintendent in the Jammu and Kashmir Prisons Department, a role he has held for over 12 years. He is responsible for the administration and management of a prison as its head. As a leader in the prison system, he has focused on young offenders and their reformation, with special attention to their access to education. Before working in prisons, he worked in the field of child rights protection for 6 months with the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, India, and in the field of mental health counselling and awareness with organizations Médecins Sans Frontiers/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and Action Aid in Kashmir, India. He holds a bachelor's degree in science and a master's in social work (MSW) from Kashmir University.   Tune in, as this conversation shines a light on how restorative practices take root in some of the most challenging environments and how they open pathways to accountability, healing, and hope.  Email: Sakb.mushtaq@gmail.com

Vandaag het gesprek met Sarah Nasrawi. Sarah Nasrawi (uitgesproken Na-Srauw-i) is 26 jaar, komt uit Amsterdam en is net terug van de klimaattop COP30 in Brazilië. Met een interdisciplinaire achtergrond in klimaat- en milieuwetenschappen en internationale ontwikkelingsstudies zet ze zich al jaren in voor klimaatrechtvaardigheid. Op COP30 rondde ze haar tweejarige mandaat af als VN-jongerenvertegenwoordiger, waarin ze samen met een collega de stem van jongeren uit het Koninkrijk liet horen in de nationale én internationale klimaatpolitiek. Laten we beginnen… Wat ik zoal leerde van Sarah: 00:00 intro - 02:15 Als jongerenvertegenwoordiger bij de COP30 in Brazilië. 03:10 Er wordt door politiek chronisch niet naar jongeren geluisterd, of valt dat mee? 05:25 De meningen van jongeren vooral opgehaald bij middelbare scholen en beroepsopleidingen. 07:55 Haar bijbaan naast jongerenvertegenwoordiger was energiefixer. 10:20 Een achtergrond van klimaatrechtvaardigheid, met ervaring in Tanzania namens ActionAid. 11:30 Door de confronterende reis naar Tanzania raakte ze meer geinteresseerd in schade en verlies, een onderwerp binnen de VN klimaat. 13:55 De stem van de Nederlandse jongere bestaat niet. 15:15 Educatie over klimaat is belangrijk voor jongeren, waarbij het vooral gaat over de waarom vraag. 17:00 Actief dwarsbomen van de bewustwording over klimaat. 18:35 De wetenschappelijke informatie over klimaat is wel beschikbaar, maar je moet het wel geloven. 19:50 Veel strenger optreden tegen de onzin die wordt verteld over klimaatverandering. 20:25 Meer transparantie over fossiele lobbyisten rondom de COP. 23:55 Welke belang heeft de medewerker van een bedrijf met een fossiele focus? 24:55 Duizenden jonge mensen gesproken, die ik anders niet zou hebben gesproken. 27:00 Wat drijft haar om zich zo in te zetten voor het klimaat? 28:20 Veel van de vrijwilligers van NJR doen er nog allerlei werkzaamheden naast. 29:10 Ruimte vinden voor jezelf zodat het mentaal gezond blijft. 30:55 De extra gevolgen voor vrouwen rondom klimaatverandering en klimaatrampen. 34:50 Je krijgt veel haatberichten als je je uitspreekt over het klimaat. 36:15 Als je echt iets wil veranderen moet je nationaal de politiek in. 36:55 Het aantal haat berichten tijdens één week van campagne voeren maakt dat ze het spannend vindt om de politiek in te gaan. 37:35 Veel onderwerpen minder politiek maken. Klimaat is bijvoorbeeld niet politiek. 38:30 Ultieme droom is dat klimaat geen 'links' thema meer is. 40:00 Opgegroeid met respect voor anderen, met diversiteit en met kunst, het is vreemd dat we dat links noemen. 40:50 Het is een politieke keuze om een neutraal onderwerp als klimaat, politiek te maken. 42:55 Je vindt elkaar in de waarom vraag. We willen hetzelfde. 44:05 Eigenlijk zou de BBB bij uitstek een klimaatpartij moeten zijn. 45:00 Een positie innemen waar je veel macht kan innemen en die positie delen. 47:55 Investeren in vriendschappen en vasthouden aan de relaties die niet binnen de bubbel zitten. 49:10 Gelijkwaardigheid, dat mensen een waardig leven kunnen hebben. Gelwaardigheid is geen einddoel, maar een proces.

How do you build people strategy across 60+ countries without forcing a one-size-fits-all model? Johnny is joined by Janaina Tavares, Global Head of People & Culture at ActionAid, to unpack a bottom-up approach to policy, culture, and wellbeing. They discuss power shifting from Global North to Global South, designing global standards that respect local labour laws, and delivering leadership development on tight budgets—starting with one skill: listening.

تشهد المنظمات الإنسانية الدولية العاملة في الأراضي الفلسطينية أزمة غير مسبوقة، بعد إعلان الحكومة الإسرائيلية إلغاء تراخيص سبعٍ وثلاثين منظمة إغاثية دولية اعتبارًا من مطلع العام الجاري، بحجة عدم التزامها بقواعد تدقيق جديدة تتعلق بالتمويل وبيانات الموظفين. تحدثنا مع الناطقة باسم منظمة Action Aid في الأراضي الفلسطينية ريهام جعفري وأضأنا على الوضع الإنساني في غزة في هذا التقرير.

On January 1, 2026, Israel banned 37 international humanitarian aid organizations from operating in Gaza. Among those affected were Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children, Oxfam, Caritas, ActionAid, the International Rescue Committee, and World Vision. Bushra Khalidi, Oxfam's policy lead in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, explains the underlying reasons behind Israel's ban and its impact on Gaza's population.

Israel has said it will stop dozens of aid organisations working in Gaza, including MSF Doctors without Borders and ActionAid, within the next day for failing to hand over the personal details of Palestinian and international staff. We spoke to John Whyte, senior deputy director for UNRWA, which Israel banned from operating in the country in 2024.

A Roma, in occasione della giornata contro l'eliminazione delle violenza contro le donne, è stato provocatoriamente inaugurato da Action Aid un Museo del Patriarcato per sottolineare le enormi disparità di genere tutt'oggi presenti in Italia – a partire dalla tolleranza verso la violenza fisica, verbale e psicologica. Ci sono state molte modifiche europee e ucraine alla proposta statunitense di piano per la pace in 28 punti, molto sbilanciato dal lato della Russia, e potrebbero esserci incontri importanti già nei prossimi giorni. Una piccola grande storia di transizione energetica mancata: il governo ha appena tolto quasi il 65% di quei 2,2 miliardi di euro di fondi destinati alle comunità energetiche rinnovabili, strategiche per diffondere la cultura dell'energia rinnovabile e l'autoconsumo. Puoi scriverci a podcast@lifegate.it e trovare tutte le notizie su www.lifegate.it.

28 ottobre 2025 - Notiziario in genereLa popolazione dell'Uganda è giovane, molto giovane.Qui - come in altri angoli del globo, nell'Africa sub-sahariana e nell'Asia del Sud, ma anche in America Latina e in Europa - povertà, HIV e AIDS, matrimoni precoci, gravidanze adolescenziali, violenza di genere e scarsa partecipazione all'istruzione secondaria rendono difficile per le giovani ragazze avere la vita a cui hanno diritto.Bambine e adolescenti abbandonano la scuola a causa di gravidanze indesiderate in età adolescenziale, a volte anche prima e perché costrette a sposarsi precocemente.Secondo il ministero della Salute, il 25% delle adolescenti ugandesi rimane incinta entro i 19 anni.Con rischi elevatissimi per la salute fisica ma anche mentale.Quasi la metà- il 43% - si sposa prima dei 18 anni e continua ad avere figli fino ai 45 anni.Angela Gennaro in collegamento dal distretto di Iganga, nella regione orientale dell'Uganda, insieme a Paola Maceroni, Responsabile Area Programmi Estero ActionAid Italia

In this episode, Daithí is joined by Karol Balfe, CEO of ActionAid Ireland and Mahesh Badal, the Senior Program and Business Development Manager for ActionAid Nepal. Our two guests talk to us through the realities of climate change in the Global South, highlighting the disproportionate burden placed on the Global South, both in terms of the local effects of climate change and the mitigation of those effects. With ActionAid's recent report ‘The Hidden Truth – Ireland's Role in the Global Fossil Fuel Industry' showing that Ireland is ranked the 14th highest global investor in fossil fuels, Karol explains how we got here and how we can get ourselves out. A fascinating episode that really highlights the complexities of Fossil Fuel Finance, and the difficulties faced by the Global South in accessing funding for transition to green economies and becoming more resilient to climate impacts.        Thanks very much to Sorcha O'Carolan Murphy for support with research, design and promotion.   Links: 1.

Riham Jafari, Advocacy and Communications Co-Ordinator with ActionAid, discusses the humanitarian crisis in Gaza

We love talking about infrastructure in Galway and roads in particular. Even if for the most part it is giving out about inertia and long delays for vital projects. There was a welcome boost right across the board this week in that regard with the announcement of the multi-billion euro revised National Development Plan. While there was debate between Government and opposition as to how much of this was brand new investment. We will however have to wait until budget day to see what specific projects will have made it into the plan. The ring road (with ACP at the moment) should be there, along with other major projects, but can we see new major infrastructure announcements like the Claregalway bypass or a Gluas line for the city? Speaking of the budget, we have been hearing there will be no once off cost of living supports but that does not necessarily mean you can expect much in the line of tax cuts. The best case scenario Summer Economic Statement released by Government says that after taking into account the VAT reduction for hospitality to 9% there will only be half a billion to play with for income tax reductions. Now, should the US impose tariffs for 30% on the EU, it is very uncertain what relief measures Government will have the will, or the purse strings to deliver. The hospitality sector for their part seem to view the statement with suspicion, arguing that certain quarters never wanted to reduce VAT. The situation in Gaza has stayed to the forefront of news internationally, nationally and locally and we saw the horrifying scenes from hospitals in the region with dozens of children dying of starvation and malnutrition. Karol Balfe the CEO of Action Aid told us what the situation is like for volunteers and people on the ground. We also had a great day out in London for our Community Matters series all about the Galway Diaspora in the UK Capital with thanks to Ireland West Airport. Next Friday it is the turn of Westside.

في مدينة خان يونس جنوب قطاع غزة، فقدت الطبيبة آلاء النجار تسعة من أبنائها العشرة إثر غارة جوية إسرائيلية استهدفت منزلها، وفقًا لما أفاد به مستشفى ناصر حيث تعمل. لم ينجُ من الهجوم سوى زوجها وطفلها البالغ من العمر 11 عامًا، والذي أصيب بجروح خطيرة. في غضون ذلك، يواصل الوضع الإنساني التدهور أكثر فأكثر. تحدثنا مع مسؤولة في منظمة Action Aid ونقلت لنا صورة ما يحدث هناك.

1) Lo sporticidio nella striscia di Gaza. Con i bombardamenti, Israele non distrugge solo case, scuole e ospedali, ma anche la cultura e l'identità nazionale palestinese. (Luca Parena) 2) Gli effetti delle detenzioni amministrative in Israele. Un ragazzo palestinese di 17 anni è morto in carcere senza aver mai essere stato formalmente accusato di nulla. (Riccardo Noury - Amnesty International) 2) La Germania segue il modello Usa. Berlino pronto ad espellere quattro residenti stranieri che hanno partecipato a manifestazioni pro Palestina. (Alessandro Ricci) 3) Francia, sotto scorta la giudice che ha condannato Marine Le Pen. Per il Rassemblement National si apre l'opzione trumpista anti-sistema. (Francesco Giorgini) 4) Stati Uniti, elettori di Wisconsin e Florida alle urne. Primo test per la popolarità di Donald Trump. (Roberto Festa) 5) Quasi tremila le vittime del terremoto in Myanmar e oltre un milione e mezzo di sfollati. I bisogni umanitari sono tantissimi. (Action Aid) 6) Spagna, secondo uno studio del più importante centro d'indagine del paese, sempre più donne si definiscono bisessuali. (Giulio Maria Piantadosi)

The Ireland Chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI) has announced that it is prioritising social good with a partnership with the Irish Emergency Alliance. Established in 2018 and active in 95 of the world's poorest countries, the Irish Emergency Alliance aims to help, save and rebuild the lives of those affected by major emergencies across the globe. As well as a growing alliance - which currently includes ActionAid, Christian Aid, Plan International, Self Help Africa, Tearfund Ireland, Trócaire and World Vision - it has responded to five catastrophic emergencies and raised over €6.75 million. Helping this effort, the Ireland Chapter of PMI encourages its chapters across the world to undertake social good, locally and internationally. It promotes the great work of the Irish Emergency Alliance, provides expert volunteer resources to support its mission, and partakes in fundraising events for the organisation. As part of this, the Irish Emergency Alliance is one of the first charities in Europe to be recognised as part of Project Managers Without Borders (PMWB), a worldwide initiative by PMI which partners project managers with not-for-profit and non-government organisations to affect change and empower communities. The partnership also enables the Irish Emergency Alliance to access volunteers and project managers within the Ireland Chapter of PMI who have domain knowledge in other areas such as finance, IT and marketing. To support the partnership and its own efforts in the area of social good, the Ireland Chapter of PMI has also recently appointed a new Director of Social Good, Carlos Mandolesi. He will be responsible for overseeing its volunteering activities and expanding its charity partnerships. Peter Glynne, President of the Ireland Chapter of PMI, said: "Our aim is to engage people, embrace social good, and elevate the impact of the project management profession - and there is no greater impact than helping those in need. The work that the Irish Emergency Alliance does is nothing short of incredible and it is an honour to be able to get involved in and support what they do. From us donating the proceeds of one of our ticketed events to the Irish Emergency Alliance to them getting involved in our National Project Awards, it's all about collaborating and making a difference together." Brian Casey, Executive Director of the Irish Emergency Alliance, added: "We want to do even more for communities and people whose lives have been devastated by emergencies, be that raising money or having people on the ground. As a small membership organisation, we can only do that with the help of our partners, including the Ireland Chapter of PMI. By tapping into the enormous potential that a shared response unleashes, we have been able to - and hope to continue to - react with agility, work with agencies, and provide much-needed emergency support."

SummaryWhat does it Busara's tagline mean: 'transformational leadership, from the inside out'?To what extent are there truly different global south-normed leadership models?Does personality still play an important role as well, in addition to national or regional cultural differences in leadership approaches?In this NGO Soul+Strategy podcast episode, I interview Taaka Awori, Founder & CEO of Busara Africa, a leadership development services company, on redefining leadership in Africa. Taaka's Bio:Founder and CEO of Busara Africa, a pan-African leadership development firm based in Accra, GhanaAuthor of the book Leadership Redefined: Untold StoriesAssociate Certified Coach with International Coaching Federation (ICF)Podcast host of Leadership Redefined: Untold StoriesMember of the editorial board of Coaching PerspectivesChair of the board of the African Women's Development Fund (AWDF)Former Country Director of AAIAssistant Social Development Adviser, DFID (now called FCDO)Degrees from Harvard and Columbia Universities We discuss: Taaka started specializing in leadership development and organizational development, after discovering as a Country Director at ActionAid that what was most needed from her was good leadership – not any technical specializationBusara's tagline is - transformational leadership from the inside out – signals that leadership starts with self-awareness and self-regulationEqually, good leadership is a combination of not just intellect or analytical capabilities, but also innate and learned wisdom, and the heartOther premises of Busara: let's build on the examples of excellent leadership in Africa (not the negative examples); and feminist leadership70% of Busara's clients are NGOs; the rest are private sector and government agenciesHow are African leadership models distinct, if in any way, from global North-formed models? Another distinct element is the explicit inclusion of politization and thus the need for leaders to be aware of this, and to navigate it in a mission focused manner Busara is also interested to learn more about what's to be learned from leaders of informal, non-registered organizations: informal worker associations, social movements and networksInteresting sub-continental dimensions of leadership within the African continent Resources:Taaka's LinkedIn ProfileTaaka's WebsiteTaaka's book: Leadership Redefined: Untold StoriesLeadership in Africa Redefined PodcastBusara Africa Website  YouTube video Click here to subscribe or email Tosca at tosca@5oaksconsulting.orgTwitter LinkedIn Facebook Youtube

The executive director of ACTIONAid Australia, Ms Michelle Higelin, spoke to us about the 'Seizing the Moment' report that ACTIONAid and partner organisations like the Pacific Islands Climate Action Network produced, arguing for a New Collective Quantified Goal in funding assistance to countries in the Pacific that are negatively impacted by climate change.

Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, Gabrielle Crichlow engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Sameer Dossani, a returning guest who shares his personal journey of transitioning from a vegan lifestyle to embracing an animal-based diet. They delve into the motivations behind Sameer's decision, exploring how this shift has positively impacted his overall well-being.Sameer opens up about his experience of transitioning from a vegan diet to incorporating animal foods into his own eating habits. He sheds light on the various factors that influenced his decision, including extensive research on health and nutrition, as well as eye-opening interactions with farming communities that challenged his long-held beliefs about vegetarianism.Drawing from his own experiences, Sameer presents compelling arguments suggesting that humans are naturally omnivores and raises concerns about the potential presence of anti-nutrients in plant foods that could have detrimental effects on the body. Moreover, he highlights existing evidence supporting the effectiveness of meat-based diets in reversing chronic diseases, such as diabetes. However, Sameer is careful to emphasize that as a health coach, he adopts a client-led approach, respecting individual preferences and only recommending the introduction of animal foods for clients seeking to address specific health concerns like autoimmune diseases, hormone imbalances, or overall health improvement.This podcast episode challenges the prevailing belief that a plant-based diet is always the healthiest option, offering listeners an alternative perspective on the role of animal foods in achieving optimal health and wellness. It provides valuable insights into different dietary approaches and their potential effects on digestion and overall well-being. Throughout their conversation, Sameer and Gabrielle also shed light on the potential limitations of plant-based diets and emphasize the importance of protein in the healing process and maintaining muscle mass, particularly as individuals age.Above all, this discussion encourages individuals to prioritize their health while finding a sustainable approach to diet that aligns with their unique needs and values. It emphasizes the significance of considering different perspectives and seeking guidance from health coaches or professionals when making dietary choices.Who is Sameer Dossani?Sameer Dossani is a certified health and nutrition coach focusing on preventing and reversing chronic disease.

Traumatic vision has emerged showing the aftermath of recent Israeli airstrikes on a makeshift tent city in Rafah, in the south of Gaza, that reportedly killed 45 people, with 249 others wounded. Aid groups have said the Israeli Defence Force had designated the area a humanitarian safe zone before launching the attack – although Israel denies this.  The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to “immediately halt its military offensive” in Rafah, but in ambiguous terms, which the Israeli Government has interpreted to mean its Rafah offensive can continue.  Meanwhile, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has applied for arrest warrants for Netanyahu, the Israeli defence minister, and three Hamas leaders for war crimes and crimes against humanity.  In this episode, Bension Siebert speaks with international law expert, Juliette McIntyre, and Frankie Leach, spokesperson for humanitarian organisation ActionAid.  Follow The Briefing:Instagram: @thebriefingpodcast Facebook: TheBriefingNewsAUTwitter: @TheBriefingAUSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Monday, April 29th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims kill 3 Christians in Benue State Fulani Muslim herdsmen killed three Christians last week in Benue State, Nigeria, reports Morning Star News. Alfred Omakwu, a local city councilman, said the herdsmen killed one Christian on April 20th in Otukpo County, after killing two other believers on April 18th in the Entepka District. Andrew Mamedu, country director of Action Aid, an international humanitarian organization, said that the incessant attacks on Christians in Benue State, Nigeria have displaced 1.4 million people. He said, “With what is happening in Benue state, people may not have villages to retire to when they grow old. If we fail to act now, I am afraid that by 2030 we would have lost a generation, and it may take 50 years to recover from it.” According to Open Doors, Nigeria is the sixth most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian. Stabbed Orthodox bishop denounces Australian censorship Assyrian Orthodox Bishop Mar Emmanuel,  who was stabbed whle preaching on April 15th in Sydney Australia by a 15-year-old Muslim young man who yelled “Allah Akbar,” has joined his voice with Elon Musk in demanding that the video of the attack be kept online, reports LifeSiteNews.com. On April 22, an Australian federal court ordered X, formerly Twitter, to remove all posts that contained the viral video of the Islamic attack on the Orthodox bishop, granting the request of Australia eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, who had demanded that the video be taken down worldwide. On Wednesday, the injunction against showing the video was extended by Justice Geoffrey Kennett until May 10 when a final hearing will be held to determine whether the content can be prohibited permanently worldwide. Musk has taken issue with the injunction, although following it temporarily. According to the tech giant, the Australian regulator had demanded that X “globally withhold these posts or face a daily fine of $785,000.” On Tuesday, Musk addressed the overreach of the Australian government and claims that the video was somehow “misinformation.”   He said, “The Australian people want the truth.  X is the only one standing up for their rights. Our concern is that if ANY country is allowed to censor content for ALL countries, which is what the Australian ‘eSafety Commissar' is demanding, then what is to stop any country from controlling the entire internet? We have already censored the content in question for Australia, pending legal appeal, and it is stored only on servers in the USA.” Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski said he “stands united” with Musk and X in the fight against the Australian censorship of the video. Biden poked fun at Trump Appearing at the White House Correspondents' Dinner at the Washington Hilton on Saturday, President Joe Biden addressed his age and made Donald Trump, his Republican presidential opponent, the target of a number of his jokes, reports CNN. BIDEN: “The 2024 election is in full swing. And yes, age is an issue. I'm a grown man running against the six-year-old. “I really feel great. I'm campaigning all over the country, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina. I've always done well in the original 13 colonies. “Age is the only thing we have in common. My Vice President actually endorses me.” (cheers) Saturday Night Live comedian roasted Biden and media Colin Jost, the co-host of “Weekend Update” on NBC's Saturday Night Live and the headliner for the event, took aim at President Biden in a couple of his jokes. JOST:  “I was excited to be up here on stage with President Biden tonight, mostly to see if I could figure out where Obama was pulling the strings from.  (laughter) “I have to admit it's not easy following President Biden. I mean, it's not always easy following what he's saying, like. (laughter) “My Weekend Update co-anchor, Michael Che, was going to join me here tonight. But, in solidarity with President Biden, I decided to lose all my Black support.” (laughs and jeers) And Jost made fun of the White House correspondents, most of whom seem more committed to liberal ideology than a balanced pursuit of the truth. JOST: “Like many of you here tonight, I pretend to do news on TV.” (laughter and jeers) Pro-Life Democrat runs ‘graphic' abortion ad during ‘Today' show Last Wednesday, a pro-life Democrat running for president aired an eye-opening ad on national television exposing NBC's “Today” show viewers to the horrors of late-term abortion. Terrisa Bukovinac, president and founder of Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising, confirmed Wednesday via X that her ad, which included disturbing footage of late-term aborted infants, aired on NBC, reaching seven million people. (You can see it for yourself through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.) Listen to the audio. BUKOVINAC: “I'm a secular progressive activist. Last year, I recovered the remains of these five babies from an all-term abortion center in Washington, DC. These are the faces of a genocide supported by Joe Biden and my own Democratic Party. “We can provide for the working class and resist this extremism. I am challenging you to never vote for a pro-choice Democrat again. I'm Terrisa Bukovinac, pro-life Democrat running for President of the United States. And I approved this message.” Psalm 127:3 says, “Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from Him.” Bukovanic, a self-described atheist, told The Christian Post that she never intended to win the Democratic presidential nomination. Rather, she launched her long-shot bid so she would have a platform to expose the evils of abortion to her fellow liberals. Comedian Russel Brand got baptized And finally, actor and comedian Russell Brand announced on April 26th that he planned to get baptized as a Christian on April 29th, reports Fox News Digital. BRAND: “This Sunday, I'm taking the plunge. I'm getting baptized, an opportunity to leave the past behind and be reborn in Christ's name, like it says in Galatians. “I know a lot of people are sort of cynical about the increasing interest in Christianity, and the return to God. But, to me, it's obvious. As meaning deteriorates in the modern world, as our value systems and institutions crumble, all of us become increasingly aware that there is this eerily familiar awakening and beckoning figure that we've all known all of our lives. … For me, it's very exciting.” Galatians 3:26 says, “So, in Christ Jesus, you are all children of God through faith.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Monday, April 29th in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.
