With Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs going into effect on Saturday, world leaders are grappling with how to respond to the chaos hitting markets across the globe. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock joined Christiane from NATO headquarters in Brussels to discuss how Europe plans to retaliate. Then, as Hungary withdraws from the International Criminal Court this week and Viktor Orban welcomes Benjamin Netanyahu, who's under an ICC arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Gaza, Christiane asks former U.S. ambassador David Pressman, who served there until this year, whether Trump's America is following Hungary's autocratic playbook. Also, after far-right politician Marine Le Pen was found guilty of embezzlement, Melissa Bell reports from Paris on what it means for France and the future of the National Rally party in the 2027 elections. Christiane also speaks with two aid workers who've seen the horrors in Gaza up close; American physician Tanya Haj-Hassan just left Gaza after spending almost 6 weeks there, and Arwa Damon, a former CNN journalist turned charity founder is desperately trying to get back in. From Christiane's archives, the search for Pope John Paul II's successor, twenty years after his death.  Learn more about your ad choices.

President Trump is poised to declare sweeping new global tariffs, and across the world, leaders are bracing for impact, making it very clear that they will not take this lying down. While it's tariff day for Trump, it may just be resurrection day for Democrats, the opposition roaring back to life with a 25-hour speech by Senator Cory Booker, and a convincing win in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy was in the chamber for Cory Booker's entire speech and asked the final question, and he joins Christiane from DC.  Also on today's show: Arwa Damon, Founder & President, INARA; Tanya Haj-Hassan, American physician who volunteered in Gaza; Tiya A.

Arwa Damon, president van die International Network for Aid, Relief and Assistance, sê aan SkyNews dat dit nie die enigste impak is nie.

This impactful debut documentary from Arwa Damon, a multi-Emmy-award winning senior war correspondent, chronicles the journey of four young individuals, all survivors of the conflicts in Ukraine, Syria, and Afghanistan, as they embark on a week-long exhilarating expedition to conquer Mt. Kilimanjaro. United by their experiences and driven by a desire to reclaim joy and agency over their lives, this documentary takes the viewer on an epic adventure as they share their stories, shedding light on what it means to create a new life beyond the shadows of war. The film documents their stories of courage and resilience, as well as the physical and psychological challenges they face as they push themselves to new limits to scale Africa's tallest peak. This mountain, with its extreme conditions, offers profound lessons to those who dare to ascend it, a journey they make together that reveals insights that go beyond expectations—these opening up new perspectives on healing, resilience, and the transformative power of human connection in the face of adversity and asks the question “what is the summit of the human spirit”?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a new phase of the war that has sparked fears of a full-blown war with Hezbollah, which the US has warned could be disastrous. Netanyahu also made comments that appeared to be a death knell for any Gaza peace deal which is backed by President Biden. One of Netanyahu's fiercest critics is Ami Ayalon, the former head of the Israeli internal security agency Shin Bet. He speaks to Christiane about what hopes Israel could have of ending the war and returning all of the hostages.  Arwa Damon, Founder and CEO, INARA; Samhita Mukhopadhyay, Author, “The Myth of Making It”  Learn more about your ad choices.

Cette lettre est publiée ce matin par la presse régionale française, dans laquelle « le chef de l'État explique qu'il ira au bout de son mandat », écrit le Monde. « Emmanuel Macron restera à l'Elysée « jusqu'en mai 2027 », quel que soit le résultat des élections législatives des 30 juin et 7 juillet ». Précision utile, alors que nous dit-on, « sondage après sondage, la perspective d'une majorité relative en faveur du Rassemblement national se dessine, qui entraînerait un blocage de l'Assemblée nationale – le parti d'extrême droite ne pouvant espérer trouver des alliés au centre ou à gauche de l'Hémicycle –, la pression monte sur le chef de l'État pour qu'il remette sa démission dans cette hypothèse inédite ». La situation politique en France, qui suscite l'intérêt de nos voisins. C'est le cas en Italie, où la Republica estime que la France traverse une « dépression nerveuse ». La perspective du 7 juillet, second tour des élections législatives, « provoque une sensation de vertige et, selon plusieurs psychologues, provoque aussi une augmentation de symptômes comme la dépression, le stress, la tachycardie, l'insomnie ». Une psychologue parle même de « démo-anxiété », « un sentiment de panique face à la démocratie menacée ». InquiétudeLe Japan Times estime lui que « le spectre du néofascisme hante l'Europe ». Un phénomène « que les grands médias cherchent à minimiser », accuse le quotidien japonais, citant le professeur de philosophie slovène Slavoj Zizek, lequel dit entendre toujours les mêmes arguments : « Bien sûr, Marine Le Pen, Giorgia Meloni et l'AfD en Allemagne, flirtent parfois avec des intentions fascistes, mais il n'y a aucune raison de paniquer, car elles respectent toujours les règles et les institutions démocratiques une fois au pouvoir ». « Pourtant », poursuit le professeur Zizek, « cette situation devrait tous nous inquiéter » : « L'axiome de la démocratie européenne d'après-Seconde Guerre mondiale, « Pas de collaboration avec les fascistes », a été discrètement abandonné ».« Mort de l'âme humaine »À lire dans le quotidien israélien Haaretz, le témoignage d'une journaliste de guerre américaine travaillant pour CNN, « Arwa Damon pensait avoir tout vu », raconte Haaretz. « Pendant la guerre civile syrienne, elle est entrée à Homs par un égout et a ensuite été témoin des horreurs infligées par l'État islamique à Mossoul. Elle a couvert les plus terribles zones de guerre du Moyen-Orient. Mais rien n'était aussi atroce que ce qu'elle a vu à Gaza » où elle est entrée en tant que responsable d'une organisation humanitaire qu'elle a elle même créée, et non en tant que journaliste.  « Mort, destruction, réfugiés, crises humanitaires : ce sont des choses que nous avons l'habitude d'accepter comme faisant partie de la réalité de la guerre », explique Arwa Damon. « Mais à Gaza, j'ai aussi vu la mort de l'âme humaine. Les Gazaouis sont comme des zombies ». Et elle souligne que « Gaza n'est pas comme les autres zones de guerre, car les habitants ne peuvent pas s'enfuir »... « Alors que la plupart des zones de guerre disposent d'une voie d'évacuation, (même si elle est dangereuse), à Gaza, les civils sont emprisonnés dans l'enfer, à moins qu'ils ne soient grièvement blessés et puissent être évacués pour des raisons médicales, ou qu'ils aient beaucoup d'argent ». HécatombeLa mort de centaines de pèlerins à la Mecque continue de susciter interrogations et commentaires...  « Plus de 1 300 personnes sont mortes pendant le pèlerinage », annonce le New-York Times, et « cela met en lumière l'industrie souterraine du Hajj ». Industrie des pèlerins « sans permis ». Ainsi, « alors que les pèlerins titulaires d'un permis sont transportés autour de la ville sainte de La Mecque dans des bus climatisés et se reposent dans des tentes climatisées, ceux qui ne sont pas enregistrés sont souvent exposés aux éléments », et notamment à une chaleur extrême. « Un grand nombre de ceux qui sont morts n'avaient pas de permis », précise le New York Times, ce qui a mis en lumière « un monde souterrain de voyagistes et de passeurs illicites qui profitent des musulmans se désespérant de pouvoir faire le hajj ». 

A list of shame...Israel lashes out at the UN after being added to a blacklist of countries harming children in wars. It says its army is the most moral in the world. So how does that stand up given the thousands of children it's killed in its ongoing war on Gaza? In this episode: Damien Lilly, Former Head, Protection Division, UNRWA.  Arwa Damon, Founder, INARA.

It is Memorial Day in Israel, more solemn this year in the shadow of October 7th, when more than 1,200 people were killed and hundreds taken hostage by Hamas. But also, a more divisive time than usual, as government ministers are booed and heckled over their war in Gaza, now in its eighth month, where more than 35,000 Palestinians have been killed. With no ceasefire or hostage deal in sight, it is unclear what the Israeli government's plan is. Major General Amos Yadlin is the former Chief of Israeli Military Intelligence. He joins Christiane from Tel Aviv.  Also on today's show: Arwa Damon, President and founder, INARA; former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki; author Ray Suarez  Learn more about your ad choices.

Mediaite editor Aidan McLaughlin speaks with veteran foreign correspondent Arwa Damon about her recent mission inside Gaza. Damon started her career covering the Iraq War. She joined CNN, where she served as senior international correspondent and reported on war zones in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Libya and elsewhere. She won a Peabody Award and three Emmys, including one for her coverage of the Battle of Mosul in Iraq, where she came under fire from ISIS militants. On Press Club, he describes what life is like inside Gaza right now after 7 months of bombing, why this war has been so dangerous for journalists, and why the suffering in Gaza is different than any other war she's covered. This episode was produced by Brandon Reschke.

Arwa Damon, recently back from Gaza, is a former CNN International Correspondent who has transitioned to relief work. Her organization is INARA, the International Network for Aid, Relief & Assistance. She discusses the situation in Gaza, how opaque Israeli inspection protocols delay aid, how the killings of World Central Kitchen workers complicated the job of relief workers, and how Gaza compares to other war zones she's covered. ln the Spiel, we can now declare that murder is down, even if we've been falsely declaring it for some time now. And Donald Trump loves comparing himself to Al Capone.

Within one week of the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, the BBC received more than 1,500 complaints relating to its coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Criticisms were split almost evenly between those claiming its reporting had been biased against Israel and those saying it was biased in favour of Israel. These disparate interpretations of the media's coverage of the war are not limited to the BBC. Other mainstream media outlets like the New York Times, CNN, and the CBC have faced similar accusations in recent weeks. Israel's supporters argue that activists have infiltrated newsrooms, leading to journalism that is increasingly biased against the party whom many young progressives have deemed the villain in this conflict: Israel. From falsely and prematurely blaming Israel for an attack on a Gaza hospital, to refusing to use the word terrorists to describe Hamas, to trusting information provided to them by Hamas under the pretext of the Gaza Health Ministry, the international press has shown its true colours and cannot be relied upon to deliver unbiased, factual reporting. Others argue that the opposite is true. For decades the western press has ignored the suffering of Palestinians and deemed them less deserving of attention or sympathy due to a colonial, white supremacist way of thinking. Whereas Ukrainians who use violence to resist occupation are depicted as heroes, Palestinians are derided as attackers and terrorists. This dehumanization has made violence towards them more acceptable and has made western media outlets complicit in the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians.   Arguing in favour of the resolution is James Kirchick. He's a columnist for Tablet magazine and a writer at large for Air Mail. Arguing against the resolution is Arwa Damon, a former CNN Senior International Correspondent.   SOURCES: Sky News, BBC, Fox News   The host of the Munk Debates is Rudyard Griffiths - @rudyardg.   Tweet your comments about this episode to @munkdebate or comment on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/munkdebates/ To sign up for a weekly email reminder for this podcast, send an email to podcast@munkdebates.com.   To support civil and substantive debate on the big questions of the day, consider becoming a Munk Member at https://munkdebates.com/membership Members receive access to our 10+ year library of great debates in HD video, a free Munk Debates book, newsletter and ticketing privileges at our live events.

Around half the population in Gaza are under 18. That's around 1.1 million children packed into one of the most densely populated territories in the world. The UN says the majority are displaced, staying with their families in overcrowded shelters or camped in hospital grounds. The Hamas-run health authority says at least 4,104 children have been killed in Israeli strikes since the start of the war. In this edition of Perspective, we focus on the work of a charity set up to help children impacted by war. It's called INARA (International network for aid, relief and assistance) and was founded by former CNN correspondent Arwa Damon. She spoke to FRANCE 24's Gavin Lee.

The war between Israel and Hamas has resulted in a disastrous humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Arwa Damon is the former senior international correspondent for CNN and president and founder of the International Network for Aid, Relief, and Assistance (INARA). She joins Tavis to explain what is going on in this war-torn area.

Last week's pod focused on the situation in Israel and Palestine. We spoke to former CNN correspondent Arwa Damon and historian and former Israeli ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren. This is a bonus, previously unreleased excerpt from our interview with Michael - a kind of potted history of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, or what he called “about 3000 years in a nutshell”.

In this episode, we're turning our focus to the war in Israel and Gaza. Tova is joined by former CNN senior international correspondent Arwa Damon who urges all of us (especially the media) not to oversimplify what is an extraordinarily complicated story. Tova also speaks with Michael Oren, a renowned historian who is also a former Israeli Ambassador to the United States. He joins us from Tel Aviv, where he is living out of a bomb shelter.  A warning - this episode contains discussion about war, war crimes and other content that may disturb. Please take care while listening.

In November of 2016, Mosul was the epicenter of the intense battle to drive ISIS out of Iraq. CNN reporter Arwa Damon, her cameraman, and an Iraqi security convoy were ambushed and trapped behind ISIS enemy lines. A US Navy SEAL platoon quickly activated to save them. However, as hundreds of ISIS fighters were closing in, the only chance of a rescue was with the assistance of incredibly precise and powerful air strikes. Luckily, embedded with the SEALs that day was our guest: former US Air Force Technical Sergeant Josh Apple.When most people hear about air strikes they think of missiles launched from miles and miles away. However, when Americans are in contact with the enemy, ‘Danger Close' air strikes often turn the tide of the battle. These strikes are not possible without the incredible work of a Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC), also often referred to as Air Combat Controllers, who are on the ground directing lethal air assets in real-time with remarkable precision. Under-appreciated and under-reported, it is impossible to overstate the critical role JTACs play in US military operations worldwide. When Josh Apple and the SEALs received word that a reporter and her cameraman were being closed in on in urban Mosul, they knew the stakes were enormous. The race to save them was a race against fatal consequences, which likely would have played out in the very public fashion which ISIS prefers. Josh Apple is the recipient of the Bronze Star Medal for Combat Action. We are honored that he took the time to tell this amazing story and we thank him and all of our Air Combat Controllers for their vital and truly spectacular work.Thanks for listening and don't forget to download, subscribe, rate, and review Heroes Behind Headlines.The Short Box: A Comic Book Podcast Join four lifelong friends for entertaining discussions about comics and culture.Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Blue Canary: For Cops By a CopWho approaches the scene first risking their lives for the safety of others?

Russian troops are attacking Ukraine from the north, east and south and bombing is ramping up in Kyiv. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky is rallying his citizens to take up arms and defend the country as officials say Russian troops are facing logistical problems and low morale. Russia's Vladimir Putin seems unconsidered with a near global opposition to his invasion and it's still unclear what his off ramp may be. Plus, as President Biden prepares to address the nation in Tuesday's State of the Union, a new Cold War is a top priority. And Biden kept a crucial campaign pledge when he nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

A humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in Syria's Idlib province. Nearly one million people have been displaced since a Russian-backed Syrian government offensive began in December, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to flee to ever-shrinking camps along the border with Turkey. Today on Front Burner, we talk to CNN senior correspondent Arwa Damon, who was just in Idlib, about what she saw on the ground. “These are families that have been displaced multiple times,” she tells Jayme. “What makes this time so much more different is that it’s almost as if there is a sense of finality to it … they’re going to reach a point where they can’t run anymore.”

This is a special episode of Sorry Not Sorry, focused entirely on the developing military situation in Iran. It’s such an unnecessary mess—remember that three years ago, we had a working peace and nuclear disarmament treaty with that country. Now, we’re at the brink of war. We take the time to go in-depth into the situation both historically and politically, to help us all understand what’s happening and what we can do about it. Most importantly, we examine the human cost of generations of conflict and war in the region. CNN Senior International Correspondent Arwa Damon joins the show from Istanbul, and Senator Chris Murphy and Congressman Ro Khanna join from Washington. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message
