After 12 days of war between Israel and Iran, a ceasefire has brought a sense of cautious relief to the region. Even after almost 21 months of war in Gaza and its spillover into neighbouring countries, the latest escalation set a dangerous precedent that could provoke more cycles of warfare and destabilise the Middle East. The question is how did we reach this boiling point? The answer goes back decades, to a time even before the 1979 revolution in Iran when the country enjoyed a more co-operative relationship with Israel under the shah. At the same time the region was going through a transformative period against the backdrop of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and rising anti-imperialist sentiments. As events unfolded and political leaderships changed over time, so did the strategic interests that Israel shared with Iran. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher dives into the context that soured the relationship between the two countries, and the more recent events that brought about the air war. She is joined by The National's assistant foreign editor Aveen Karim, senior fellow at UCLA Burkle Centre for International Relations Dalia Dassa Kaye, and independent Israeli analyst Ori Goldberg.

Oh, Donald… please don't embarrass us in front of the other world leaders. With the NATO Summit underway, all eyes are on Trump, and not for the right reasons. From bizarre past performances to the NATO chief now referencing Trump being called “daddy,” the international stage is already bracing for chaos. Allies are nervous. Diplomats are sweating. And Americans? Mostly cringing. Join Don Lemon as we break down how Trump continues to be a walking diplomatic incident, what this means for global relations, and why “world leader” might just be the biggest stretch in his résumé.

In a landmark moment at the NATO summit, President Trump secured a commitment from member nations to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth praised the agreement as a “historic win for Western security,” crediting Trump’s leadership and pressure tactics. Hegseth emphasized that the increased investment would strengthen deterrence against adversaries like Russia and China. The deal marks a dramatic shift in NATO’s strategic posture and a major diplomatic victory for the Trump administration.

At the NATO Summit in The Hague, NATO leaders recognised that in order to deter any future military conflict, Allies will have to pledge to spending 5% of their GDP to defence (of which up to 1.5% may be spent on defence-related investments). This has created the conditions for Allies to channel robust funding into governmental contracts with the defence industry in order to meet the new Capability Targets that are assigned for each Ally to generate collective effect. To meet these targets and acquire capabilities at pace, NATO now has to greatly increase and optimise the capacity of its defence industrial base. The updated Defence Production Action Plan, publicly released at the Summit in The Hague presents a concrete programme to optimise and strengthen the Allied defence industry, maximise its outcomes and increase Allies' return on investment.

Allies can breathe a sigh of relief. The same Donald Trump who left the G7 summit early showed up on time for the NATO summit in the Netherlands – an abridged summit to curry favour and keep his undivided attention. The US president played with members' nerves, entertaining suspense over the United States' commitment to NATO's Article 5 but in the end reaffirming support for the Alliance's "all for one and one for all" clause in case of attack. After a victory lap over Iran, Trump was all smiles over Alliance members' commitment to boost defence spending to 5 percent of GDP.  It also emerged that Britain is buying 12 F-35A fighter jets made in the USA. That's music to Trump's ears, but how will the announcement go down with the likes of France, which has been arguing for Europe to reduce its dependency on Washington? And then there's Ukraine. Trump, in the end, took the meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky. But there, too, there were mixed messages: both when it comes to Russia's relentless campaign of aggression and the benefit of the doubt so often granted by Trump to Vladimir Putin.

Send us a textThere is a richness to the new children's book, Like That Eleanor: The Amazing Power of Being an Ally by writer Lee Wind and illustrator Kelly Mangan, that affords a caregiver and a child myriad opportunities for discussion, exploration, and, ultimately, connection. It weaves history lessons with contemporary, school scenarios that young children will recognize in a way that entertains while modeling skills that young children need. I think Lee and Kelly have created something special, and I was excited to talk to both of them about their process and what they want kids and adults to take away from this book. More about Lee and Kelly and Like That Eleanor: The Amazing Power of Being an Ally is at talkingaboutkids.com.

Both Russia and China are well-positioned to lead global efforts through multilateral institutions such as the UN and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Scott Jagow is joined by political analysts John Hancock and Michael Kelley to break down the recent US military strikes on Iran, which involved six B2 bombers targeting three nuclear sites. The discussion explores the proactive nature of the operation, raising critical questions about presidential authority and the lack of full Congressional consultation. They examine the strategic alignment between the US and Israel, including Prime Minister Netanyahu's broader objectives, and assess the risk of wider regional conflict. With comparisons to past interventions like Iraq, the episode dives into the potential long-term consequences and geopolitical impact of the strikes.

1/4: Rogue Allies: The Strategic Partnership between Iran and North Korea Paperback – April 29, 2025 by  Bruce Bechtol  (Author), Anthony N. Celso https://www.amazon.com/Rogue-Allies-Strategic-Partnership-between/dp/1985902176 In Rogue Allies: The Strategic Partnership between Iran and North Korea, Bruce E. Bechtol Jr. and Anthony N. Celso examine the influence of two rogue states whose rebellion against the United States and US-backed countries has serious consequences for international relations. Iran and North Korea have profited from illegal activities, such as the arming of terrorist organizations, in attempts to disrupt peace efforts in the Middle East and East Asia and to destabilize the rules-based order of the world. Bechtol and Celso uncover the origins of this decades-long alliance, consider elements that these two nation-states have in common, and explain how their relationship undermines neighboring regions. The authors draw from revealing interviews with Iranian and North Korean defectors as well as firsthand accounts from other sources, providing crucial additions to this body of research. While some scholars have compared and contrasted Iran and North Korea, few have delved into how this partnership works to achieve its far-reaching impact. By assessing key aspects of the Iran–North Korea nexus—including military, ideological, economic, and environmental forces—Rogue Allies investigates the link between two volatile states and the ensuing implications for global security. 1943

Transcript:Hu: A budapesti Természettudományi Múzeum folyosóin egy forró nyári napon pezsgő élet zajlott.En: The corridors of the budapesti Natural History Museum were bustling with life on a hot summer day.Hu: Árpád csendesen bóklászott az új különleges kiállításon, amely a magyar vadvilággal foglalkozott.En: Árpád wandered quietly through the new special exhibition focused on Hungarian wildlife.Hu: A nap meleg fénye beáramlott az ablakokon, különleges mintákat vetítve a falakra, miközben az emberek lépései és halk beszélgetéseik visszhangoztak a tágas termekben.En: The warm daylight streamed through the windows, casting unique patterns on the walls as the footsteps and soft conversations of people echoed in the spacious halls.Hu: Árpád, a természetfotós, akinek különösen fontos volt a magyar ökoszisztémák megismerése, egy inspiráló projektet keresett.En: Árpád, a nature photographer particularly interested in understanding Hungarian ecosystems, was looking for an inspiring project.Hu: A termek között lassan sétálva a kiállítás egyik részébe botlott, ahol Lilla, lelkes környezettudományi hallgató, mesélt a látogatóknak a kiállításról és bőszen hangoztatta a természetvédelem fontosságát.En: As he slowly strolled through the rooms, he stumbled upon a part of the exhibition where Lilla, a passionate environmental science student, was telling visitors about the exhibition and fervently emphasizing the importance of conservation.Hu: Lilla, aki önkéntesként tevékenykedett a múzeumban, tele volt energiával.En: Lilla, who volunteered at the museum, was full of energy.Hu: Ahogy figyelte a látogatóknak tartott előadását, Árpád nem tudta nem észrevenni az őszinte lelkesedést a lány hangjában.En: Observing her presentation to visitors, Árpád couldn't help but notice the genuine enthusiasm in her voice.Hu: Ahogy egy csoport odébb állt, Árpád megérezte, hogy itt az idő, hogy kérdéseit feltegye Lillának.En: As a group moved on, Árpád felt it was time to ask Lilla his questions.Hu: Átlépett a kis közönség után keletkezett csendben, és megszólította őt.En: He stepped forward in the quiet that followed the small audience and addressed her.Hu: "Üdv, érdeklődtem a magyar vadvilág után egy fotóprojekthez," kezdte Árpád bizonytalanul, miközben próbálta nem elárulni korábbi rossz tapasztalatai miatti zárkózottságát.En: "Hello, I was interested in Hungarian wildlife for a photography project," Árpád began uncertainly, while trying not to reveal his previous bad experiences that had made him reserved.Hu: Lilla szeme felcsillant, mikor meglátta Árpád kameráját.En: Lilla's eyes sparkled when she saw Árpád's camera.Hu: "Ó, ön fotós?En: "Oh, are you a photographer?"Hu: " kérdezte izgatottan.En: she asked excitedly.Hu: "Nagyon örülnék, ha egy tapasztalt személy segítene a projektemben.En: "I would be thrilled if an experienced person would help with my project.Hu: Éppen egy magyar biodiverzitási témán dolgozom.En: I am currently working on a Hungarian biodiversity topic."Hu: "Mindketten érezték, hogy talán most találtak valakit, aki megérti és osztja az ő szenvedélyüket.En: They both felt they might have found someone who understood and shared their passion.Hu: Az érdekes beszélgetés alatt a Dunai tokhalról szóló előadásra sodródtak, ami még inkább közelebb hozta őket.En: During the engaging conversation, they drifted towards a lecture about the Dunai tokhal, which brought them even closer.Hu: Lelkesen beszélgettek a tokok megőrzésének lehetőségeiről és a magyar természet értékes kincseiről.En: They enthusiastically talked about the possibilities of sturgeon conservation and the valuable treasures of Hungarian nature.Hu: Az előadás végén Árpád és Lilla mosollyal az arcukon cseréltek telefonszámot.En: At the end of the

In popular memory, the Second World War was an unalloyed victory for freedom over totalitarianism, marking the demise of the age of empires and the triumph of an American-led democratic order. In Scorched Earth, historian Paul Thomas Chamberlin dispatches the myth of World War II as a good war. Instead, he depicts the conflict as it truly was: a massive battle beset by vicious racial atrocities, fought between rival empires across huge stretches of Asia and Europe. The war was sparked by German and Japanese invasions that threatened the old powers' dominance, not by Allied opposition to fascism. The Allies achieved victory not through pluck and democratic idealism but through savage firebombing raids on civilian targets and the slaughter of millions of Soviet soldiers. The Soviet Union and the United States emerged as hyper-militarized new imperial powers, each laying claim to former Axis holdings across the globe before turning on one another and triggering a new forever war.   Dramatically rendered and persuasively argued, Scorched Earth shows that World War II marked the culmination of centuries of colonial violence and ushered in a new era of imperial struggle.Paul Thomas Chamberlin is an associate professor in history at Columbia University. The author of The Cold War's Killing Fields and The Global Offensive, his writing has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, and Christian Science Monitor. He lives in New York.For more info on the book click HERE

How can you get the most out of your supply chain relationships? Communication is key, and not just when the headwinds hit.   Matt Potts, founder of Normal, Illinois-based Destihl, and Ron Schroder, Briess director of marketing, share how they're navigating supply challenges and how craft brewers can mitigate issues by maintaining lines of communication.    Potts also explains why Destihl has supplemented its own growth with partner brands, including the Wrexham Lager, Hanson Brothers' Mmmhops IPA, an Evel Knievel-branded beer and collegiate beers, including with the University of Illinois Fighting Illini.     Plus, U.S. Beverage VP of brand development Kris Sjolander explains the importer and platform's sales and marketing partnership program. He also dives into what opportunities U.S. Beverage's contract brewing process offers to potential partners in the U.S. and beyond. U.S Beverage's partners include Uinta, Woodchuck Cider, Moosehead, Captain Lawerence and several others.    Sjolander shares why he believes U.S. Beverage excels at distributor management, how the company is expanding its national accounts presence to meet its partners' needs and what types of brands benefit the most from partnering with the firm.    Before the conversations, Brewbound editor Justin Kendall and managing editor Jess Infante break down Tilray Brands' latest leadership shuffle and taproom closure, as well as quick thoughts on White Claw's dominance of hard seltzer and cutting its vodka-based canned cocktail line.    Jess and Justin play Another Round or Tabbing Out on the elders' latest Generation Z gripe: forming a single-file line at the bar. They also talk about the Voodoo Ranger-Malört collaboration, Roulette IPA, where consumers risk getting a Malört-inspired IPA in a 6-pack.

Allies. In workplace settings, there are times when most of us need them. Consider this scenario; you're in a meeting, and you're about to take a calculated risk to share an unpopular idea. As soon as you complete your thought, one of your colleagues quickly responds, complimenting you on your idea, and asking you to share more. That's an act of allyship.   Conversely, in that very same meeting, you can take an act of allyship by showing up for a different colleague when another person says something unskillful to them. Without a beat, you can simply say, “You just said [insert statement]. Could you explain more specifically what you meant?” That simple response should do the trick to shine a light on the harm they caused.   When it comes to showing up for your LGBTQ+ colleagues, acts of allyship in workplace settings are life-saving. They help build the foundation of increased safety and trust that can get more of LGBTQ+ employees closer to experiencing that elusive sense of belonging at work. Yet, for some of the budding LGBTQ+ allies out there, being an authentic ally causes some pause. Some may ask themselves, “what if I cause even more harm,” and instead retreat into silence.   To help build up the confidence and skills of these emerging LGBTQ+ workplace allies, I am excited to speak with Jean-Marie Navetta who will help us answer this big question: What does it take to be an authentic ally during these challenging times?   If you're unfamiliar with Jean-Marie, for nearly 20 years she's worked in the LGBTQ+ movement to help engage people both outside and inside of the community to be part of the work of building on policy change to transform culture to become more actively inclusive. She's spent 17 years with PFLAG National leading their work in this area and for the past year, she's continued that effort at Out & Equal.   Together, during our conversation, you will:   Learn why performative acts of allyship, or merely calling yourself an ally, without taking any action is the fastest way to erode the trust of your LGBTQ+ colleagues.   Gain fresh insights on accessible actions you can take to show up as an LGBTQ+ ally - some of these are more easy and significant than you think.   Explore new allyship practices you can test out with close friends and family members to to build up the confidence necessary to overcome the comfort of silence.   This interview was designed to support people like you - visionary leaders, and those on their way to joining us. Savor this insightful talk, and if you're looking for more ways to connect with inspiring leaders like Jean-Marie, be sure to join our Belonging Membership Community - a community of practice committed to putting our values of belonging, community, and collaboration into action.

Tensions between Iran and Israel have escalated with a recent Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities and retaliation from Iran. The two countries openly carried out attacks on each other for the first time last year, in April and October, after a years long shadow war. But have Iran and Israel always been at odds? Dan is revisiting this episode from April 2024 with Maziar Bahari, an Iranian-Canadian journalist and filmmaker who founded the news website IranWire; Bahari explains how these two nations went from partners in the Middle East to implacable enemies.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.You can now find Dan Snow's History Hit on YouTube!

In light of today's breaking news—Israel's targeted airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities, and Iran's retaliation—we are re-releasing our episode that confronts one of the most urgent questions of our time. Originally aired in January 2025, this debate has only grown more relevant, with our two experts offering insights critical for understanding the road ahead. Iran is getting closer to developing its first nuclear weapon. With tensions rising in the Middle East, should the U.S. and its allies take a stand? Those calling to stop Iran now argue this is a “now or never” moment for the region. Those calling for tolerance say while it's not ideal, it is manageable, and maintaining diplomacy should be the focus. Now we debate: Can America and Its Allies Tolerate A Nuclear Iran, or Is It Time to Stop Them Now?    Arguing STOP NOW: Behnam Ben Taleblu, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies  Arguing TOLERATE: Barbara Slavin, Distinguished Fellow at the Stimson Center  Learn more about your ad choices.

Dads come together for a fascinating chat about the work they're doing around their children's substance use/recovery. What's different about how Moms and Dads approach the work? They suggest that the love felt for their Loved One is equal, but the interactions are quite different. James,a father of four, points out that Dads are often focused on detaching from their young adult sons, in order to let them become more independent—and this can also be exacerbated by the contrast of Moms being more involved. Dads and Moms might have completely different approaches to parenting their addicted adult children, but this is OK. Learning the CRAFT method and the Allies in Recovery toolkit has given parents common language and references that facilitate their own communications and dynamics around their approaches with their Loved Ones. The more we stay curious, interested and non-judgmental, the more power we have to positively impact the situation. These fathers lay it all out for us and help us to better understand their internal journeys.A membership at Allies in Recovery provides: ✔ A structured online platform to learn CRAFT skills step by step ✔ Support groups and a community that truly understands ✔ A Q&A blog with expert advice ✔ And much more!Start today—visit Allies in Recovery to begin creating change in your family.

Long before the Allies stormed Berlin, a different kind of war was already underway—waged not with bullets and tanks, but with relics, runes, and ancient symbols of power. This three-part series unearths the chilling true story of the Nazis' obsession with the occult and their state-sponsored quest for the Holy Grail. At the center of it all was SS leader Heinrich Himmler, who transformed a crumbling medieval ruin—Wewelsburg Castle—into a spiritual fortress and ritual temple for a cult hiding in plain sight. From secret SS expeditions in search of relics to fabricated sacred texts and blood-soaked ceremonies in the castle's north tower, The Devil Within reveals how myth, pseudoscience, and fanaticism merged into something far more dangerous: belief weaponized. And when the war was lost, Wewelsburg didn't die. The Black Sun chamber survived. And the thirteenth pedestal—the one reserved for the Grail—remains empty to this day.

The story of the American alligator is one of survival. From 1967 to 1987, they were officially listed as an endangered species. But the wetlands of Louisiana, Florida's Everglades National Park and many other southern habitats are now teeming with roughly five million alligators. And their story continues to evolve. Recent studies suggest alligators shape how carbon is stored in soil. Could alligators be an unexpected ally in the fight against climate change? Christopher Murray, Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Southeastern Louisiana University, joins The Excerpt to share insights from his recent study published in Nature.

Donald Trump needs the protests in L.A. to be violent and chaotic so he can justify the power grab he desperately wants. His allies in Congress and right-wing media are only too happy to oblige by encouraging his exaggerations and distortions. Jen Psaki takes a closer look at how the protests in L.A. are being mischaracterized as Trump edges toward invoking the Insurrection Act.

Lawfare Contributing Editor Renée DiResta sits down with Daphne Keller, Director of the Program on Platform Regulation at Stanford University's Cyber Policy Center; Dean Jackson, Contributing Editor at Tech Policy Press and fellow at American University's Center for Security, Innovation, and New Technology; and Joan Barata, Senior Legal Fellow at The Future of Free Speech Project at Vanderbilt University and fellow at Stanford's Program on Platform Regulation, to make European tech regulation interesting. They discuss the European Union's Disinformation Code of Practice and its transition, on July 1, from voluntary framework co-authored by Big Tech, to legally binding obligation under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This sounds like a niche bureaucratic change—but it's provided a news hook for the Trump Administration and its allies in far-right parties across Europe to allege once again that they are being suppressed by Big Tech, and that this transition portends the end of free speech on the internet.Does it? No. But what do the Code and the DSA actually do? It's worth understanding the nuances of these regulations and how they may impact transparency, accountability, and free expression. The group discusses topics including Senator Marco Rubio's recent visa ban policy aimed at “foreign censors,” Romania's annulled election, and whether European regulation risks overreach or fails to go far enough.For more on this topic:Hate Speech: Comparing the US and EU ApproachesThe European Commission's Approach to DSA Systemic Risk is Concerning for Freedom of ExpressionThe Far Right's War on Content Moderation Comes to Europe Regulation or Repression?

Today marks the 81st anniversary of D-Day–the Allies landing on the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from fascism. As we remember the heroes, we salute the Nazi hunters of then and now. Our resistance lives on. This week, just like early June 1944, was a great week for the resistance. Welcome to the second Gaslit Nation block party of the week. Ukraine launched a stealth campaign, destroying 34% of Russia's warplanes with cheap drones and sheer ingenuity. Meanwhile, in the U.S., the MAGA death cult is imploding. Steve Bannon just declared war on Elon Musk and called for him to be deported, Trump wants to gut Musk's government contracts and Bannon claims an executive order is being drafted to seize SpaceX, and MAGA influencers are melting down. It's an oligarch "Lord of the Flies." Welcome to the second Gaslit Nation block party of the week.  We end on a high note featuring advice from Constitutional law scholar Leah Litman of the Strict Scrutiny podcast and author of Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes. In part two of our discussion, we cover knowing our rights in a time of lawlessness.  Thank you to everyone who supports the show–we could not make Gaslit Nation without you!
