On 16 July, Turkey marked a decade since the failed coup that shook the nation. Its defeat is widely viewed as the final curtain on military meddling in politics and as the moment when President Erdogan cemented his grip on power, yet the aftershocks for human rights and foreign relations still reverberate. On 16 July, Turkey marked a decade since the failed coup that shook the nation. Its defeat is widely viewed as the final curtain on military meddling in politics and as the moment when President Erdogan cemented his grip on power, yet the aftershocks for human rights and foreign relations still reverberate. A decade ago, factions within the Turkish military, composed of rebellious officers and followers of the Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen, launched a dramatic attempt to topple President Erdogan. "I remember, as a soldier, those who started the coup," recalls Murat Aslan, an army officer at the time. "I had no idea that there were members of this organisation (Gulen followers); they were very secretive." Erdogan tightens his grip Now a security analyst at SETA, a pro-government think tank, Aslan describes the failed coup as a turning point that reshaped the course of Turkish democracy. "The message was very clear. Turkish society collectively rejected it," said Aslan. "Thousands took to the streets; that's more than challenging, because you see tanks rolling and people trying to stop them, trying to capture the soldiers with their rifles. It takes more than courage." More than 250 people died resisting the coup. In the aftermath, Erdogan imposed emergency rule and expanded his presidential authority through a sharply contested national referendum. "This military intervention actually consolidated the Erdogan-led government," Aslan added. Turkey's military, relations with US to survive failed coup, ruling party vice-president Hundreds of soldiers and officers faced prosecution as the government declared an end to the army's long history of political interference. Since 1960, the military had orchestrated three coups, the most recent in 1980. A decade of purges and closures In the wake of the failed takeover, tens of thousands were purged from state institutions, many never returning even after being cleared. More than a thousand NGOs were shut down during two years of emergency rule. Milena Buyum, senior Turkey campaigner for Amnesty International, acknowledges the grave threat to democracy posed by the attempted coup: "The state has a responsibility to ensure the safety and security of its citizens and to investigate criminal acts like the ones carried out that night," said Buyum. Turkey's Erdogan warms to Russia after West coup response However, Buyum warns that many of the measures introduced under the state of emergency have since been written into ordinary law, permanently curtailing fundamental freedoms: "The right to freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and association: the impact on civil society was felt very sharply and starkly in the immediate aftermath of the coup, but that impact continues," said Buyum. Ankara's alliances The failed coup also drove a wedge into Turkey's long-standing alliance with the United States. "Ankara saw the hand of the United States behind the failed coup attempt," claims Ozgur Unluhisarcikli, who leads the Ankara office of the German Marshall Fund. Even before the attempted coup, Erdogan's relations with President Barack Obama had been tense. Obama's belated support, offered only after the coup had failed, fuelled Ankara's suspicions of US complicity, particularly as Washington refused to extradite Fethullah Gulen, whom Erdogan blamed for orchestrating the plot. Gulen denied the accusation until his death in 2024. Turks in France divided on failed coup Unluhisarcikli observes that US-Turkish relations remained strained for years, while Erdogan gravitated towards Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose rapid show of support stood in sharp contrast to Washington's hesitation. "Putin was among the first leaders, I believe even the first, to extend political support to the elected government in Ankara, and in those days I believe that support mattered greatly to President Erdogan," Unluhisarcikli said. Rumours still persist in Turkey today that Moscow warned Erdogan on the day of the failed coup. Unluhisarcikli says it was only with the election of President Donald Trump, who shared Erdogan's animosity towards Obama and Joe Biden, that US-Turkish relations began to thaw, a shift highlighted at this month's NATO summit in Ankara. Yet the wave of mass arrests during the summit, enabled by post-coup emergency powers, served as a stark reminder that the shadow of the failed takeover still looms over Turkey.
THE RIGHT & THE RISE OF INTOLERANCENick talks about the the rise of intolerance and the suppression of debate, highlighting how both right and left-wing political movements are moving toward authoritarianism by excluding individuals who disagree with core policies. He gives specific examples including Kemi Badenoch's statements that Conservative candidates must accept Net Zero targets and European Convention on Human Rights, and Amnesty International's controversial report targeting organisations that disagree with gender ideology. Nick argues that while these movements claim to be protecting their respective ideologies, they are actually demonstrating intellectual decline by using fear and exclusion rather than debate to win arguments, and suggested that the public will ultimately reject such authoritarian approaches.

Épisode produit en collaboration avec Amnesty InternationalCet épisode s'ouvre sur de la colère et de la sidération, les miennes, face à la destruction du vivant qui s'opère sous nos yeux et à la situation politique insupportable que nous vivons collectivement. Je déprime, j'insomnie, je panique, je ne suis pas bien, les amis. Et pourtant, je vis avec le privilège d'avoir été dotée à la naissance d'un papier qui me permet de vivre et de travailler en France sans me poser de questions.Des milliers de personnes qui travaillent en France aujourd'hui, parfois depuis des décennies, sont soumises à la précarité administrative à travers des titres de séjour courts qui doivent être sans cesse renouvelés. Vous en faites peut-être partie. Cette réalité avait été documentée par Amnesty International en 2025, à travers un rapport intitulé À la merci d'un papier. C'est dans le cadre de ce premier rapport que les équipes d'Amnesty ont pris conscience de l'impact dévastateur de cette précarité sur la santé mentale des travailleur·euses concerné·es : insomnie, anxiété, dépression, voire pensées suicidaires. Un deuxième rapport, publié en juin dernier, J'y pense tout le temps, explore cet aspect. Je l'ai lu avec attention, et j'ai été bouleversée par les voix des 27 personnes qui ont accepté d'y témoigner.Le renouvellement du titre, le rendez-vous à la préfecture, l'obtention des pièces occupent l'esprit en permanence et empêchent toute projection vers l'avenir. Car sans ce papier, pas de travail, pas de logement, pas de soins médicaux. Une réalité qui concerne et affecte tout particulièrement des femmes qui élèvent seules leurs enfants.Nous parlons de tout cela dans cet épisode avec deux invitées brillantes et passionnantes : Tcherina Jerolon, responsable chez Amnesty International du programme Conflits, migrations et justice, et Yasmine Riffi Tamsamani, actrice, assistante réalisatrice et membre du collectif des intermittent·es du spectacle étranger·es en France. Je les remercie toutes les deux pour la force de leur engagement, et je vous appelle tous et toutes à écouter cet épisode jusqu'au bout, à prendre le temps de comprendre cette réalité, et surtout à signer la pétition dont vous trouverez le lien juste ici et sur les réseaux sociaux de Folie Douce et d'Amnesty.Merci à Amnesty International de m'avoir fait confiance pour cet épisode spécial. Bonne écoute, prenez soin de vous, prenez votre temps, et partagez en masse cet épisode. C'est important !Production exécutive : Good Sisters
For the third installment of our TERF Island series, we use the case of JK Rowling herself to trace TERFism's "march through the institutions" in the UK and beyond. It's an episode about TERF self-staging as singular and "deeply personal" apostasy from "gender orthodoxy", which belies an increasingly sophisticated, well-connected and well-funded network pushing anti-trans talking points in public.This is a PREVIEW, if you'd like to hear the remainder of the episode (and the previous episodes in the series), please head over to patreon.com/inbedwiththeright to become a supporter!PLEASE NOTE: we recorded this episode before the latest re-emergence of Rowling as TERFism final boss with the release and subsequent suppression of the Amnesty International report on anti-trans hate groups. But that imbroglio certainly made us even happier we're doing this series behind the paywall.

L'avvocato entrato il 2 luglio nella sezione sotterranea di Rakevet non ha riconosciuto il suo assistito. Nasser Odeh, legale di Physicians for Human Rights Israel, Hussam Abu Safiya lo aveva già incontrato altre volte. Stavolta si è trovato davanti un uomo ammanettato a mani e piedi, scortato da agenti incappucciati, con ferite fresche su testa, volto e collo, il respiro corto, incapace di reggersi seduto. «Questa è l'ultima volta che mi vedrai», gli ha detto il medico. «Mi hanno portato qui per uccidermi». Abu Safiya, 52 anni, pediatra, dirigeva il Kamal Adwan, l'ultimo grande ospedale ancora attivo nel nord di Gaza. Lo arrestarono il 27 dicembre 2024, al termine dell'assalto israeliano alla struttura. L'ultima immagine da uomo libero, il camice bianco tra le macerie davanti a un carro armato, ha fatto il giro del mondo. Da allora sono passati diciotto mesi. Nessuna accusa formale, nessun processo, la detenzione rinnovata sotto la legge sui «combattenti illegali», che consente la reclusione a tempo indeterminato. Ha perso circa 40 chili. Il 24 giugno il trasferimento a Rakevet. Il 6 luglio il Gruppo di lavoro ONU sulla detenzione arbitraria, cinque esperti indipendenti a Ginevra, ha definito arbitraria la sua detenzione e ha avvertito che il caso può indicare una pratica diffusa o sistematica nel Paese. Israele, scrive il gruppo, non ha mai risposto alla richiesta di chiarire i fondamenti giuridici del fermo. Lo stesso giorno Amnesty International chiede il rilascio immediato e inquadra la detenzione dei sanitari come parte del genocidio in corso a Gaza. Il servizio penitenziario israeliano replica che le accuse sono "false e del tutto prive di fondamento fattuale" e che ogni detenuto è trattato secondo la legge. Secondo la legge, l'unica certezza è un corpo che il suo avvocato non riconosce più. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.
This episode addresses saviorism complexes within activism, particularly when it is organised or oriented towards middle-class standpoints.When middle-class people engage in activism, it often stems from a revelation or realisation about how the world works, followed by a desire to change it, rather than from collective action born of an issue affecting a community. In this way, activists can see themselves as both separate from the issue at hand and tasked with "saving the world" from the problem by protesting and convincing others to come on board.Many parts of climate activism have been dominated by and oriented towards the middle class, in the same way that environmental choices such as buying an EV, switching to solar power or shopping at an organic, refill shop are tailored towards those with the means, money and privilege to do so. While caring for the environment and nature transcends class, race and cultural boundaries, much of how climate activism presents itself today is dominated by the middle class, which is why it is important to interrogate how that influences the movement and our own capacity to build collective momentum.Shae's guest, Anthea Lawson, has done a lot of thinking in this regard, examining her own and others' standpoints and the effects of those standpoints on their respective activism.Anthea Lawson (she/her) is an author and campaigner. Her books How Not To Save The World and The Entangled Activist help people who want to change the world think about the psychological, spiritual and philosophical foundations of what they're doing, what's getting in the way, and how they can be more effective. After training as a journalist at The Times, she worked for campaign groups including Global Witness and Amnesty International. She has fought for many issues over three decades, including controls on the arms trade and an end to the financial secrecy offered by tax havens.https://www.anthealawson.uk/https://anthealawson.substack.com/ https://dark-mountain.net/about/manifesto/

Rights group, Amnesty International, says it documented the use of ethnic slurs during attacks on non-Arab communities, which the organisation says points to ethnic persecution. The report says the crimes were committed by paramilitary group, Rapid Support Forces - RSF - during the group's offensive on the city of El Fasher in Sudan's North Darfur region last year. The report shows children were among the hardest hit and that hundreds of thousands have been displaced, many repeatedly exposed to attacks while fleeing, and others orphaned, abducted or forcibly recruited.

La plus haute juridiction du pays a rendu, lundi 29 juin 2026, une décision autorisant le chef de l'État à révoquer à sa guise les responsables d'agences fédérales indépendantes. Les juges devaient se prononcer sur la révocation d'une responsable de la Commission fédérale du Commerce (FTC) voulue par Donald Trump. Il y a plus d'un siècle, le Congrès a adopté une loi qui empêche tout licenciement d'un responsable de la FTC sans motif valable. Une loi renforcée en 1935 par une décision de la Cour suprême qui a fait depuis jurisprudence. L'arrêt rendu ce lundi (29 juin) constitue donc une véritable rupture. Donald Trump a applaudi « une grande victoire », « l'une des plus grandes décisions jamais rendues concernant les pouvoirs présidentiels ». Les juges devaient aussi se prononcer sur le limogeage de Lisa Cook, une gouverneure de la Banque centrale. Par cinq voix contre quatre, les juges ont considéré que Donald Trump ne pouvait pas la révoquer « à sa guise » sans qu'elle ait l'occasion de se défendre. Une décision apparemment paradoxale, motivée par la crainte des répercussions économiques. Et ce n'est pas le seul revers infligé au locataire la Maison Blanche, explique François-Damien Bourgery, du service International de RFI. La Cour suprême a également rejeté un recours du parti républicain contre une loi du Mississippi qui autorise le comptage des bulletins plusieurs jours après le scrutin. Et ce alors que Donald Trump, et l'ensemble du parti républicain, ne cessent d'accuser le vote par correspondance de favoriser la fraude. Une nouvelle preuve que la Cour suprême est aujourd'hui le seul rempart face aux poussées autocratiques de Donald Trump. En Haïti, accord pour modifier le décret électoral contesté En Haïti, les élections sont prévues en principe au mois d'août.

Pendant ce temps, le Premier ministre Alix Didier Fils Aimé a affirmé hier (29 juin) vouloir sortir de la logique de l'assistanat qui régit souvent les relations avec les pays étrangers. Enfin, AlterPresse se fait l'écho d'un message : celui de la famille du journaliste Diego Charles, assassiné il y a cinq ans. Ses proches parlent d'un déni de justice intolérable. Au Salvador, les victimes de l'État d'exception Au Salvador, le président Nayib Bukele a opté pour la manière forte, sinon brutale, pour lutter contre les groupes criminels.

Une disposition d'autant plus controversée que les membres des gangs ne sont pas les seuls à être visés. Amnesty International estime qu'au moins 8 000 innocents ont été arrêtés en quatre ans.

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Saturday 18 October at Church House and the Abbey Centre, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION Genocide, Holocaust, Never Again. Phrases that once conjured up only one image: the Nazis' systematic attempt to eliminate the entire Jewish people and eradicate Jewish culture, identity and future generations of Jews from the face of the earth. It was once held that the Holocaust was unique in its horror with no precedent in history. Can we confidently say this view still holds today? Today, the word ‘holocaust' is increasingly used as a free-floating catch-all to describe many geopolitical events or even general human evil. Even Auschwitz, a death camp designed for the genocide of the Jews, has been turned into an all-purpose symbol of human cruelty. The proposed Learning Centre to be built as part of the controversial Holocaust Memorial in Victoria Garden, next to Parliament, promises a ‘high-tech immersive experience', expected to last only 45 minutes, that will reference a wide range of other international atrocities, such as Rwanda and colonial-era massacres, with the aim to promote equality and diversity in general. More specifically, these terms are being applied to the war in Gaza – particularly since Hamas's attack on 7 October 2023. Israelis are increasingly likened to Nazis, guilty of war crimes and ethnic cleansing, or settler-colonists aiming at the complete destruction and replacement of Palestinians and their culture. The United Nations, Amnesty International, Médecins Sans Frontières and countless individual governments have proclaimed a genocide in Gaza, a claim strongly denied by Israel and its supporters who condemn the veracity of these accusations and what they refer to as ‘Holocaust relativism'. In a new book, The World After Gaza, author Pankaj Mishra brings together the narratives of both the Holocaust and slavery-colonialism, arguing Nazism is simply the logical extension of colonialism. The Israeli government, according to Mishra, is guilty of both. Celebrity social-justice activist Naomi Klein wrote in the Guardian last year that we are entering a new intellectual era, one in which people are openly asking if the Holocaust should ‘be seen exclusively as a Jewish catastrophe, or something more universal'. Klein goes on to argue that perhaps the Holocaust was not ‘a unique rupture in European history' but rather ‘a homecoming of earlier colonial genocides'. What are the consequences of this ‘dejudification of the Holocaust', as Brendan O'Neill calls it in his recent book, After the Pogrom? How can the public, especially new generations, understand the true nature of this industrialised act of anti-Semitic barbarism – and to even remember that the Jews were the targets – when the Holocaust is wrenched out of its historical context? Are authors like Mishra and Klein right when they say it is this very sanctifying of the Holocaust in Western history that wilfully ignores crimes of equal magnitude, including what is happening in Gaza today? SPEAKERS Daniel Ben-Ami journalist; creator, Radicalism of Fools project on rethinking anti-Semitism; author, Ferraris for All: in defence of economic progress Naomi Gryn writer; filmmaker Samuel Rubinstein postgraduate historian and writer Dr Jake Wallis Simons author, Never Again?

Peut-être ont-ils du mal à se remémorer leur propre adolescence ou à comprendre ce que veut dire être adolescent en 2026. Les relations à la maison peuvent être mises à rude épreuve. Comment s'expliquent ces nouvelles émotions qui surgissent et comment les appréhender au mieux ? Et s'il existe autant d'adolescences que d'adolescents, comment accompagner son enfant dans cette transition vers l'âge adulte ? Avec : Nathalie Anton, psychologue et professeure agrégée de Lettres modernes. Autrice de plusieurs ouvrages consacrés à l'adolescence. Le dernier : Adologie – devenez les experts d'une science inexacte ! Un essai graphique illustrée par Tacmela (Hatier Parents, 2026). En début d'émission, l'école autour du monde avec Marie Struthers, directrice régionale Europe de l'Est chez Amnesty International, pour parler du rapport d'Amnesty, qui documente l'instrumentalisation de l'enseignement par les autorités russes au sujet de la guerre en Ukraine.

Al termine del G8 di Genova, il 21 luglio 2001, ci fu quella che Amnesty International definì come «la più grave sospensione dei diritti umani e democratici in un paese occidentale dal dopoguerra». Furono i pestaggi compiuti dalla polizia nella scuola Diaz, dove alloggiavano giornalisti e manifestanti del Genoa Social Forum - in gran parte stranieri. Le torture proseguirono nella caserma di Bolzaneto, dove molte di queste persone furono portate dopo l'arresto. Erano manifestanti pacifici e giornalisti: di quelle 93 persone, nessun arresto fu poi convalidato, e in 80 casi l'arresto risultò illegittimo. Nel frattempo, 82 di loro avevano avuto bisogno di cure mediche dopo i pestaggi, e 62 erano state trasportate in ospedale. In questa puntata di Altre Indagini non c'è solo quello che accadde quella notte: ci sono gli episodi violenti dei primi giorni del G8, la percezione di chi avrebbe dovuto garantire l'ordine che per non mostrarsi debole fossero necessari molti arresti, non importa di chi. E il modo in cui quegli eventi furono raccontati dalla stampa, e i processi che seguirono. Altre Indagini è il podcast di Stefano Nazzi che ogni due mesi racconta una delle grandi vicende della storia italiana, con gli stessi approcci e rigori applicati alla cronaca nera in Indagini. Le storie di Altre Indagini sono disponibili sul sito e sull'app del Post per le persone abbonate: un modo per ringraziarle per la loro partecipazione al progetto del Post, che fa sì che il Post possa continuare a fare il suo giornalismo in modo gratuito per tutte e tutti.

Het is opnieuw raak tussen de VS en Iran. De Amerikanen hebben luchtaanvallen uitgevoerd op Iran, als vergelding voor de helikopter-crash waar Iran achter zou zitten. Als reactie daarop voert Iran op haar beurt weer aanvallen uit op Amerikaanse bases in Bahrein, Koeweit en Jordanië. Komen Iran en VS in een nieuwe geweldsspiraal die het einde van het staakt-het-vuren betekent? En doet Israël? We vragen het arabist Leo Kwarten. (09:05) Elke dag protest in Woodstock, Vermont Komend weekend zijn er in de VS, als Trump 80 jaar wordt, weer 'No Kings'-protesten gepland. Maar in het plaatsje Woodstock, in Vermont gaat een groepje bewoners al bijna 500 dagen achter elkaar de straat op om te demonstreren tegen het beleid van president Trump. Collega Laila Frank nam er een kijkje en maakte een reportage. (15:23) Het einde van een Palestijns dorp Op de Westelijke Jordaanoever treden kolonisten steeds gewelddadiger op. Het gaat niet om een paar rotte appels, schrijft Amnesty International in een nieuw rapport, maar om een door de staat gesteund patroon van etnische zuivering. Zo kan het gebeuren dat hele dorpen volledig verdwijnen, zoals de Bedoeïenengemeenschap Zanuta. Daarover Dagmar Oudshoorn, directeur van Amnesty International Nederland.

On this episode, Anthea discusses the origins of her new book How Not To Save the World (2026), which explores challenges and dynamics within activist movements. As an experienced activist, Anthea addresses the need to interrogate certain patterns in order to build more effective movements, without falling into particular traps. She emphasizes the importance of building relationships, procuring insight and self-awareness, and taking strategic actions. Anthea Lawson is an author and activist. She has fought for many issues over three decades including controls on the arms trade and an end to the financial secrecy offered by tax havens. She helped launch a campaign for transparency over company ownership which resulted in changes to the law in dozens of countries. After training as a journalist at The Times, she worked for campaign groups including Global Witness and Amnesty International. Her writing helps people who want to change the world think about the psychological, spiritual and philosophical foundations of what they're doing, what's getting in the way, and how they can be more effective.

Most nonprofits treat email like a megaphone. They show up loud when they need donations and go completely quiet in between. Katelyn Baughan has worked with UNHCR, Amnesty International, the Trevor Project, and the National Breast Cancer Foundation, and she has seen this pattern cost nonprofits thousands in unrealized donations.Her fix: stop thinking about campaigns and start building infrastructure.In less than 20 minutes, Katelyn walks you through the automated email system that works in the background to build donor relationships, nurture loyalty, and raise more money, even when you're not hitting send.
A big part of where I see shifts happening in education systems is encouraging young people to get out into the world, into their communities and make a difference to issues that they care about. There is so much learning that can happen in this process. I have shared a few episodes in the past with fantastic people like Cathrine Berger-Kaye, Daniela Papi-Thornton and Zoe Weil, supporting young people and educators in this kind of work. But there are also some fascinating and important considerations to be aware of when we step into this work, so that we really have the impact that we are hoping to, and don't replicate past harms and unhelpful patterns. My guest this week, Anthea Lawson, has been working on the front line of this kind of work for decades and has learned through her own experience just how complex and entangled these issues are that we care about doing something about. And she has been sharing her gathered wisdom on it in her previous book The Entangled Activist, and very excitingly her new book, out this week, ‘How Not to Save the World: Doing good without annoying everyone'. George Monbiot has described it as a wise, rich and crucial book! And I can certainly recommend it myself. As a journalist, campaigner and writer, Anthea Lawson has fought for many issues over three decades including controls on the arms trade and an end to the financial secrecy offered by tax havens. She helped launch a campaign for transparency over company ownership which resulted in changes to the law in dozens of countries.

There are calls for an independent regulator to police the online world and demand more transparency, accountability and safety. In an open letter to the government, an unlikely group of bedfellows has raised concerns about what it describes as harmful, deceptive, and destabilising activity often enabled or amplified by digital platforms. The National Council of Women, The Banking Association, various media and Arts organisations and academics are among the signatories. Amnesty International signed the letter, campaign director Lisa Woods spoke to Lisa Owen.

Last week, the American government charged the former Cuban leader, Raúl Castro, with conspiracy to kill US nationals. They accuse him of playing a part in the downing of two planes in 1996, which were flying between Cuba and Florida. This comes after months of the US putting increasing pressure on the country. In January, President Trump threatened to impose tariffs on any country who supplied oil to the island, resulting in huge energy shortages ever since, with some parts of the country being without power for 22 hours a day. But Cubans have been living under a strict trade embargo for decades, so they are not unfamiliar with such hardships. José Carlos Cueto López of BBC Mundo is from Cuba, and knows exactly what it's like for people living in such challenging circumstances. The UN says that at least 32 political prisoners have been executed in Iran since February this year. The UN's Human Rights Office has warned that the death penalty is increasingly being used to silence political dissent. Last year, Iran carried out 2,159 executions according to Amnesty International, the highest number since 1981. The Iranian government says that the vast majority are for drugs related offenses or murder. Ghoncheh Habibiazad of BBC Persian has been trying to find out more about the political prisoners who've been executed this year, and she told me about her findings.The Fifth Floor is at the heart of global storytelling on the BBC World Service, bringing you the best stories from journalists in the BBC's 43 language services. We're here to help you make sense of the stories making headlines around the world; to excite your curiosity and to get to grips with the facts. Recent episodes have investigated Russia's youth armies and how they make soldiers of Ukrainian children; featured the BBC team who were the first journalists to the site of the Nigerian school kidnappings and reflected the effects of internet blackouts in Iran, Uganda and India. If you want to know more about Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, and the legacy of Hugo Chavez; or how Vladimir Putin's network of deep cover spies operates; or why Donald Trump signed an executive order granting white South Africans asylum in the US, we have all those stories and more.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world.

The LSE Middle East Centre hosted the launch of Richard Barltrop's paper, 'Sudan's Current War: A Longer View on Peacemaking and Prospects'. This hybrid event launched a new paper examining the ongoing war in Sudan, which broke out in 2023. Drawing on lessons from the history of peacemaking in Sudan and comparative insights from other civil wars, the paper reflects on pathways toward ending the conflict, including the urgency of de-escalation, the need for sustained, long-term peacebuilding efforts, and the importance of Sudanese leadership and ownership in shaping a durable peace process.

Robert meets Belfast-born Kathryn Ferguson is an Emmy and BAFTA nominated, BIFA and IFTA winning director whose innovative and boundary-pushing documentary work has screened globally. We explore art as activism and how film has the power to reveal, and more widely share, untold stories. Kathryn studied at Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art, and in 2022 was awarded the inaugural BFI & Chanel Award for Creative Audacity. In 2018, Kathryn's short documentary Taking the Waters premiered at Sheffield Doc Fest, and was long-listed for a BAFTA. Then, in 2021, Kathryn worked with Passion Pictures on the short Space to Be for The Guardian's acclaimed documentary series. After a decade of short-form work centred on identity, gender politics, and community, Kathryn recently completed her debut feature documentary Nothing Compares - which takes as its subject Sinéad O'Connor's artistry and activism. The film premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2022 then toured the international festival circuit, where it picked up multiple awards, before hitting cinemas in October 2022. It has received over thirty award nominations internationally, including Emmy, Critics Choice, IDA, and PGA Awards, and was awarded winner of Best Feature Documentary at BIFA 2022 and IFTA 2023. Nothing Compares is now available to watch on Showtime and Sky. Her second feature, Bogart: Life Comes in Flashes (Universal), was released in US cinemas in 2024. In 2024 she also co-founded Tara Films with producer Eleanor Emptage; their latest, Blue Road - The Edna O'Brien Story, premiered at TIFF 2024, and the company is currently developing a slate of non-fiction and drama projects. Alongside her film work, Ferguson has directed campaigns for Nike, Selfridges, Amnesty International, and Air France, and collaborated with artists such as Lady Gaga and Neneh Cherry. Nostalgie, Kathryn's first drama short starring Aiden Gillen, about a faded 80's pop star, has recently been nominated for a BAFTA and won Best Short Film at the IFTAs 2026. The film is available to watch on Channel 4. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The U.S. government and private mining corporations are ignoring the rights of tribes to free, prior, and informed consent when it comes to lithium mining in Nevada, according to a new report by Amnesty International. The report comes amid the Trump administration’s fast tracking of metals and minerals extraction. With more than 20,000 active mining claims across the state, tribes are having to weigh how every new proposal would impact their communities. The Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals agreed with the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska that the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) applies to remains buried at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, which is under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army. The decision gets the tribe one step closer to repatriating two children from the oldest Indian boarding school, and could establish legal precedent for federal agencies to comply with NAGPRA in the future. GUESTS Chairman Coly Brown (Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska) Beth Margaret Wright (Laguna Pueblo), senior staff attorney with the Native American Rights Fund Fermina Stevens (Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone), executive director of the Western Shoshone Defense Project Clifford Banuelos (Te-Moak Tribe of the Western Shoshone), tribal-state environmental liaison for the Inter-Tribal Council of Nevada Break 1 Music: Chant Ancestral (song) Geneviève Gros-Louis (artist) Break 2 Music: Traditional Side Step Song (song) Little Otter (artist) Side Step Songs (album)
President Trump has again issued a warning to Iran amid stalled peace negotiations - saying unless they act quickly to agree a deal, there won't be anything left of them. Tehran says the US has failed to make any concrete concessions to bring about an end to the war. Also: Rwanda tightens its border security as neighbouring DRC struggles to contain a deadly Ebola outbreak; Amnesty International highlights Iran's increasing use of the death penalty; Russian civilians are shocked by Ukrainian drone attacks; Britain's royal guards allegedly fall asleep on the job; and are street preachers a blessing or a curse?
President Donald Trump said on Friday that Taiwan was a major topic of discussion during his summit with Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping and added that he had not yet decided whether to proceed with a major U.S. arms package for the island.Trump also said he thinks Xi is seriously considering releasing detained pastor Ezra Jin in China, but that the case of jailed media tycoon Jimmy Lai "is a tough one." Lai was sentenced to 20 years in jail in what Amnesty International calls a "travesty of justice" and an attack on press freedom.
It's another multi-charity special!

In FOLLOW UP, the guys marvel at the completely normal state of America as Amnesty International issues a travel advisory for the 2026 World Cup because apparently “visiting the United States” now comes with the same vibe as backpacking through a failed cyberpunk state. Then it's onto Dead Podcast Theory, where more than a third of all new podcasts are AI-generated “podslop,” proving Silicon Valley heard “everyone has a podcast” and responded with “what if nobody did?” Meanwhile, Ticketmaster reminds everyone that if you've purchased a concert ticket since 2010, there's probably a class action settlement with your name on it and enough compensation for half a convenience fee.IN THE NEWS is basically one long panic attack sponsored by AI. The White House is considering regulating AI models, Canada says OpenAI vacuumed up everyone's personal data like a drunk Roomba, Character.AI allegedly impersonated a licensed psychiatrist, and Mother Jones found ChatGPT still happily helping aspiring mass shooters workshop their plans. Snap's Perplexity deal died quietly in a ditch while Meta keeps assembling humanoid robots like it's building the world's most annoying version of Westworld.

This week, Remington is currently suffering without air conditioning, so Shaun had no other choice than to grab Dylan from his cage & force him to choose an anime to watch based on a single descriptor. Meanwhile Dylan somehow manages to bring up Amnesty International. If you'd like to give us feedback, ask a question, or correct a mistake, send an email to AnimeOutOfContext@gmail.com.

John's monologue in this episode: after voters in Virginia chose a Democrat-led voting district map, a Republican judge woke up and said “not on my watch.” Apparently, the fate of the midterms will be determined in the courts. Then, he discusses Amnesty International's annual report, "The State of the World's Human Rights". Spoiler Alert - USA gets a failing grade and there are calls for resistance in this pivotal moment for humanity. Then, John welcomes the return of Bob Cesca and they chat about redistricting, the midterms, and Trump's tariff refunds. Next, Dillion Naber Cruz of The God Squad joins the show to talk about the evils of White Christian Nationalists. And closing it up, legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson speaks with John and listeners about SCOTUS and Trump's courtroom issues.
