What does Jose Ruben Zamora's arrest signify for Guatemala's crackdown on dissent? Journalist Jose Ruben Zamora, the president of Guatemalan newspaper El Periódico, was arrested almost a year ago. He's reported on 144 investigative pieces about corruption in the Guatemalan government, led by President Alejandro Giammatei. Now he's potentially facing 40 years in prison for what Guatemala's government says is money laundering. The Committee to Protect Journalists has called Zamora's detention “unwarranted.” And many government critics are saying this is part of a broader crackdown on anyone working to uncover corruption.

Purdue Pharma introduced the opioid painkiller OxyContin in the 1990s and promoted it aggressively as non-addictive.United States government lawyers argued that the company's owners, the Sacklers, knew how their medication was being abused widely, but doubled down on production – and profits. Recently a lawsuit was settled for $6bn.Barry Meier, the author of Pain Killer (soon to be a Netflix series), started writing about the opioid epidemic 20 years ago when it was killing about 20,000 people yearly.

Clashes erupted in Senegal after opposition figure Ousmane Sonko was sentenced to two years in prison on June 1. He was accused of raping a woman who worked in a massage parlor; the court cleared Sonko of rape but found him guilty of a separate offense, immoral behavior towards individuals younger than 21. Sonko's supporters have reacted with violent protests in the streets and at least 15 people have died. They claim charges against Sonko are a ploy to prevent him from running in the 2024 presidential elections.

Stand-up comedy only recently emerged in China, but one bad joke is threatening to wipe it out. Last month, the comedian Li Haoshi, better known as ‘House', used a Chinese military slogan as his punchline. Li was placed under investigation and the event's production company was fined $2 million. Other standup performances were immediately suspended. Critics say it's part of a wider crackdown on all forms of cultural entertainment that could challenge the Chinese government's own narrative.  In this episode:  Katrina Yu (@Katmyu), Al Jazeera China correspondent Episode credits: This episode was produced by Miranda Lin with Ashish Malhotra and host Kevin Hirten, in for Malika Bilal.

In Iran's Kasra Hospital, the parents of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini embraced in a hallway, grieving their daughter who died after being detained by the country's morality police.

There's a clear winner in Thailand's election – the Move Forward party came through with three times the vote of the leading government party. That was two weeks ago. The people of Thailand, led by the youth, came out in a move against the ruling elite. But to claim power, Move Forward also needs to win a vote in Thailand's senate, appointed by the military. Now that Thailand has voted for change, will the country have the opportunity to see it through?

Dr. Karin Tamerius is a political psychiatrist and the founder of Smart Politics, a nonprofit dedicated to teaching progressives how to communicate more persuasively with people who hold different views. Since the 2016 election, she has worked to introduce psychotherapy skills to the political realm, pioneering the development of new tools to help individuals have constructive conversations online and off. Most notably, she's written three highly successful “Angry Uncle” chat bots for The New York Times that have reached millions of readers, and she has created an original model to “tame” trolls on social media. Prior to that she earned a B.A. in political science from UC Berkeley and an M.D. from UC San Francisco, and pursued graduate study in political science at the University of Michigan. ​In addition to running regular workshops teaching Democrats how to advocate for their beliefs without sacrificing their relationships with Republican friends and family, Dr. Tamerius has trained thousands of volunteers for progressive organizations like MoveOn.org, Indivisible, Women's March, and Netroots Nation to campaign more effectively. Her work on political dialogue has garnered international attention and been featured in many media outlets including The Guardian, Al Jazeera, Time, NPR, FiveThirtyEight, Forbes, and Business Insider. In this episode, we discuss: -How to use the skills of therapy to have effective one-on-one political conversations, including: building trust, respecting autonomy, and sharing information. -The Smart Politics and how it differs from other bridge-building organizations in its progressive political advocacy orientation. -Skills for listening deeply and nonjudgmentally. -When it is helpful, and not helpful, to offer information/facts/data. -How to find agreement and common ground by focusing on values, goals, and emotions. -How to be more persuasive when sharing your perspective and circumvent the brain's internal defense system. -How chatbots and AI can help us practice having depolarizing conversations. -The Change Conversation Cycle: Inviting, Listening, Reflecting, Agreeing, Sharing. -The Change Conversation Pyramid: Comfort, Connection, Comprehension, Compassion, Cognition.

Are we on the verge of another workplace revolution? It's possible to work fewer hours and keep the same level of pay and productivity, according to results of the largest-ever trial of a four-day workweek held in the United Kingdom. Traditional work routines were upended by the COVID-19 pandemic, and there's increased demand for more flexible schedules. But in many parts of the world, even a five-day week is a luxury. So can a four-day workweek work for everyone?

From nothing to so much, from grass to grace, from facing your fears to extinguishing your worries, this is often the story of champions, those who have come to understand and appreciate their purpose here on earth, not minding the circumstances they find themselves, they take advantage of what the providence of purpose has given riding on the gift of life to fulfilling that God-given purpose.For such people, when faced with adversities or challenges, they don't give in to the suggestions of defeat, and they don't respond from a disadvantaged position; instead, they see all of these as an opportunity to confront these challenges, questioning the status quo by standing on the premise provided by the situation and having a view that is somewhat different from the norm, more like a panoramic view. These individuals often come through with answers and solutions to societal challenges, eventually lighting up our world.The Story of Carole Nakhle fits into this narrative in every way. Dr. Carole Nakhle is an international authority on global energy issues, particularly in policy, finance, market development, governance, energy taxes, and fiscal regimes, as well as geopolitics. With a unique breadth of experience spanning different stakeholders in the energy industry all around the world, Dr. Nakhle has worked with major energy companies (Eni and Statoil) at the executive level, governments, and policymakers (including Special Parliamentary Advisor in the UK), international organizations, academic institutions, and specialized think tanks on a global scale. She is active on the Governing Board of the Natural Resource Governance Institute and is a Member of its Audit and Finance Committee. She is also a Member of the Advisory Boards of the Middle East Institute and the Payne Institute at the Colorado School of Mines.

Will the war in Ukraine hinge on Bakhmut? It's been almost one year since the fight for the town began. Now, Russia state media is finally claiming victory in the battle, but Ukrainian military officials say the war may soon turn.

Vinicius Junior, a star footballer for Real Madrid, says Spain's top league “now belongs to racists.” The Afro-Brazilian player's declaration comes after a match in which opposing fans from Valencia were filmed chanting the racial epithet “monkey” at him after an altercation on the pitch. This isn't the first time Vinicius has been targeted by racial abuse this season, and he's called out Spain's La Liga for being complicit. Will this latest incident prompt the league to act?  In this episode:  Moha Gerehou (@MohaGerehou) Journalist and anti-racism activist Tim Vickery (@Tim_Vickery) Football journalist based in Brazil Episode credits: This episode was produced by Sonia Bhagat with Ashish Malhotra and our host, Malika Bilal.
