Given these dire circumstances, allowing Gazan refugees into the UK becomes a humanitarian duty, offering a lifeline to those escaping violence, destruction, and deprivation. Some people argue that Gazan refugees should not be allowed into the UK because they are led by Hamas, raising concerns about potential support for terrorism. Join us as we discuss the various opinions on this issue, examine British values of compassion, justice, and humanity, and the need to protect innocent individuals from injustice, regardless of their background. Islamophobia Hate crimes have been a topic of concern in the UK for many years.

So how do we close this skills gap? In search of an answer, the ILO has adopted a sweeping new international labour standard focused on updating its approach to skills and quality apprenticeships. The new “Recommendation on Quality Apprenticeships, No. 208” is designed to help workers and employers find ways to skill, reskill and upskill people to adapt to rapidly changing labour markets. But how will it work in practice?

We'll dissect China's media narratives that blame the U.S. for hostilities in the Middle East and contrast this with China's own human rights record, particularly concerning the Uyghurs in Xinjiang.In our second segment, we'll delve deeper into China's global ambitions. We'll discuss their new global initiatives like the GSI, GDI, GCI, and BRI, and what these mean for the international order. We'll also touch on the psychological mechanisms that make people susceptible to narratives that may not align with reality.

Divorces are often messy. In countries like Turkey and Egypt, they can also put women at risk of losing everything: their financial independence, the right to see their children, and their social status. İpek Bozkurt is a lawyer based in Istanbul. She focuses on cases of violence against women and works with a grassroot organisation called We Will Stop Femicide. Her story was featured in the documentary “Dying to Divorce”, which was the UK's official entry for the Best International Feature Film category at the 2022 Academy Awards. Nada Nashat is a human rights activist based in Cairo. She is the Advocacy Coordinator at the Center for Egyptian Women's Legal Assistance (CEWLA), an organisation supporting women who want to divorce their husbands. She's also campaigning to make divorce legislation fairer. Produced by Lorna Treen (Image: (L) Nada Nashat, courtesy Nada Nashat. (R) İpek Bozkurt, courtesy İpek Bozkurt.)

 First up on the show, Marisa welcomes Ilo Diaz, Advocacy Coordinator in the racial discrimination work of the Police Accountability Project, to discuss the consequences of police investigating police for our vulnerable communities. Ilo gives us a run-down on where we are at with independent oversight while police investigate police. They also discuss the Victorian Government's ongoing lack of action on this issue. Next, Marisa speaks with Josephine Langbien, Senior Lawyer at the Human Rights Law Centre (HRLC), about their submission outlining the issues of torture and ill-treatment that Australia should address in its forthcoming periodic report to the UN Committee against Torture. Issues include treatment of prisoners and conditions of detention; involuntary psychiatric treatment; and violence against women, specifically within Australia's refugee protection and immigration detention regimes. Marisa continues the conversation regarding the UN investigation later in the program with Tiffany Overall, Human Rights Officer at Youthlaw, about where children and young people fit in. She specifically describes the submission by a working group of Smart Justice For Young People, the coalition of over 40 organisations of which Youthlaw is a part. The submission itself calls for equivalency of healthcare, the need for the Government to implement the OPCAT protocol (including independent monitoring), raising the age of criminal responsibility of at least 14 years of age, and encourages visits to youth detention centres in Victoria such as Parkville and Malmsbury. The day before this program aired, it was announced that this visit by the UN Committee against Torture has been suspended.
