It's Friday, July 31st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Syrians in America have to leave the country The expiration of Temporary Protected Status for Syrians in America this week has renewed attention on the fragile security environment facing civilians in Syria, particularly Christians who remain vulnerable 18 months after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship in this 87% Muslim country, reports International Christian Concern. Temporary Protected Status is a humanitarian immigration designation that allows nationals of countries experiencing armed conflict to remain and work legally in the United States for a limited period. The designation does not provide a pathway to permanent residency but shields recipients from deportation while conditions in their home country are deemed unsafe for return. In December 2024, rebel forces, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, forced al-Assad from power.  Al-Sharaa's group had previously been associated with Muslim jihadist movements, including al-Qaeda. Before the Syrian civil war, Christians represented a significant minority of Syria's population concentrated in Damascus — where the Apostle Paul was converted on the street. While Christians have not experienced the same level of targeted mass violence as other groups, there has been harassment and attacks on Christian communities. President Trump floats temporarily pulling Blache nomination to be AG President Donald Trump said on July 30 that he was willing to temporarily withdraw his nomination of Todd Blanche to be Attorney General until next year, if two Republican senators continued to withhold their support, reports The Epoch Times. Blanche's nomination has been held up in the Senate Judiciary Committee after Republican Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina said they would not back bringing it to the floor for a full vote. Those two votes are necessary for the nomination to advance. Earlier this year, both Cornyn and Tillis lost their bid for re-election after President Trump endorsed their opponents during the primaries. The president now intends to wait them out. In the meantime, Blanche will remain the acting head of the Department of Justice. You can express your objection to the senators for dragging their feet by calling Senator John Cornyn at 202-224-2934 and Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina at 202-224-6342. You can call 24 hours a day/7 days a week and leave a voicemail. Dr. Fauci invoked Fifth Amendment 90 times in GOP-led committee In a hearing of the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on July 29th, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, announced in his opening statement that he would invoke the Fifth Amendment and not answer any questions about his culpability in a cover-up about the source of the COVID-19 virus or what happened subsequently. Listen. FAUCI: “Members of the committee, I served at the NIH for over 54 years, 38 of those as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Over that period, I proved that I believe in and respect the value of legitimate congressional oversight. In fact, I testified before and/or briefed Senate and House committees well over 200 times over those 38 years. During and after the COVID pandemic, I have appeared multiple times for hearings in the Senate and the House, usually under oath, and sat for several days-long, transcribed, sworn interviews answering questions about the very issues that are now the subject of this hearing. “However, given Senator [Rand] Paul's obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution, his repeated slanderous comments about me, and recently his publicly releasing my unredacted personal diary aimed at embarrassing and intimidating me, the only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything, that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, ‘behind bars'. “Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion. Therefore, although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right, under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, to refrain from answering your questions.” Over the course of his time in front of the Senate Committee, Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment a whopping 111 times, reports Fox News. Dr. Fauci stonewalled Senator Rand Paul numerous times Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly stonewalled Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, the Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The senator started with asking about former President Joe Biden's bizarre “full and unconditional” pardon of Dr. Fauci. PAUL:  “As a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, or the White House COVID-19 Response Team, or as Chief Medical Advisor to the President, have you refused this pardon? Or do you have any reason to believe this full and unconditional pardon, this grant of immunity, would somehow require you to plead the Fifth Amendment?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL: “Based on the facts presented, I'm going to direct you to answer the questions. The committee has issued a valid subpoena. They have requested your presence here. The questions are very pertinent to your decision making as head of [the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases], as well as a chief advisor to the president, do you still refuse to answer the questions?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL:  “Were you ever made aware of gain-of-function research on monkeypox being conducted at the National Bio Defense Analysis and Countermeasures Center, and back at Fort Detrick, [the center of the U.S. biological weapons program from 1943 to 1969]?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL:  “Dr. Fauci, did the CIA ever transfer funds to [the National Institutes of Health] under interagency agreement?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” And Senator Rand Paul took this parting shot. PAUL: “The chairman has denied your assertion of privilege and directed you to answer, but you nonetheless refuse and stand on privilege despite the existence of the pardon. The committee will have to consider after this hearing what appropriate action should be taken against you for the failure to testify after being directed to do so. “It's against the law to obstruct an investigation of Congress. There will be repercussions to your refusal to testify today.” Watchdog group: Medical groups should condemn transgender surgeries on minors The medical watchdog group, Do No Harm, is calling on 10 major medical associations to explicitly condemn transgender genital surgeries on minors, reports The Daily Signal. On July 29th, Do No Harm sent open letters to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Medical Association among others. In the letter, the group wrote, “Do No Harm, and its 54,000 members, are calling on your society to publicly reject genital surgery on minors for the purpose of producing [so-called] ‘gender transitions.' While this process is uncommon, we believe that it should never occur.” In Matthew 19:4, Jesus asked, “Have you not read that [God], who created them from the beginning, made them male and female?” Marijuana should not be reclassified as a less dangerous drug Marijuana could be reclassified as a less dangerous substance under federal law. Kevin Sabet, CEO of Smart Approaches to Marijuana and the former drug policy advisor for the Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama presidential administrations as well as President Trump's former U.S. Attorney General William Barr, thinks that would be a terrible idea. He said that reclassifying marijuana as a drug with accepted medical use and a lower risk of abuse than drugs subject to greater controls would be reckless. Sabet added, “The evidence presented at the hearing confirmed what decades of data have shown: Raw marijuana has no scientifically established medical value and carries a high risk of abuse. Today's marijuana is more dangerous than ever before. [Reclassifying] marijuana would create the false impression that it is safe, would reduce penalties for peddling the drug illegally and would give those who purvey it legally a huge tax windfall. That would be a disaster.”  The Department of Justice held a hearing last month to consider it at President Donald Trump's request. Despite the fact that President Trump is a teetotaler who eschews alcohol and drugs, he told his administration last December to push forward on easing marijuana restrictions, after an aggressive lobbying push by advocates including a cannabis CEO, a Florida sheriff, and a Mar-a-Lago member, the Wall Street Journal previously reported. Jim Daly, President of Focus on the Family, previously wrote, “Use of cannabis increases a person's chance of developing a bipolar disorder or schizophrenia by an average of 47%. It's also shown to significantly increase hallucinations and paranoia. “In fact, it's been determined that regular use of medical marijuana leads to a higher chance of heart attack, stroke and coronary artery disease. … If the established goal is to make America healthy and great again, this objective will not be reached by increasing access to poisonous pot.” In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, the Apostle Paul asked, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.” Montana listeners like our brevity and updates on the persecuted Here at The Worldview in 5 Minutes, Winston and Heather Royal in Helena, Montana, wrote, “Adam, we appreciate the newscast because it's short, to the point, and from a Christian perspective. We appreciate hearing about our Christian brothers and sisters around the world. And we often listen to it at breakfast time. Thank you for your work!” Texas listener values boldness and truthfulness of The Worldview And Byron Barlowe in Plano, Texas wrote, “Adam, your newscast is something I've evangelized about for four reasons. I find the integration of a Biblical worldview into reporting the news to be effective and refreshing. Brevity matters more than ever. I also relate to the brevity of your newscast since Probe Ministries, a group I write for, produces a 3-minute daily feature. The candor among you and the two other writers of The Worldview is bold, truthful, and necessary. For example, I appreciate your reference to homosexual faux marriage instead of so-called ‘gay marriage.' Spade-calling is truth-telling and, when done in a gracious spirit led by the Spirit of God, can have good effect. You have a golden radio voice that emanates masculinity without undue forcefulness. Both women and men need that in the era of so-called ‘toxic masculinity' and the feminized Church which follows a confused culture. I just like it, too.” Byron, thanks for your encouragement as we use the instruments of our laptops and voice to communicate. 23 Worldview listeners gave $13,150.04 And finally, by Thursday night at 9:00pm Central, 23 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the 6-member team behind The Worldview for another year. Our thanks to Jerry in Angie, Louisiana and Thomas in Spartanburg, South Carolina – both of whom gave $25 as well as David in Wilmington, Ohio and Lori in Rockford, Illinois – both of whom gave $50. We appreciate Tony and Jennie in Palmdale, California who gave $80.04, Samuel in Greensboro, North Carolina who gave $90, and Jeanne in Thomasville, North Carolina and Ron in Orange Park, Florida – both of whom gave $100. We're grateful to God for Jody in Westerlo, New York and Kevin and Shelly in Columbus, Nebraska – both of whom gave $200, Glenn and Linda in Palmdale, California who gave $240, Marlowe in Freetown, Prince Edward Isalnd, Canada who gave $250, Kelly in Rio Rancho, New Mexico who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, and Vanessa in Templeton, California and Nicki in Carthage, Missouri – both of whom pledged $35/month for 12 months for a gift of $420. We were touched by the generosity of Serge in Simpsonville, South Carolina who gave $500, Charles and Pamela in Sierra Madre, California  who gave $500, Sean in Burlington, Wisconsin who gave $500, and Francesca in Rockaway Township, New Jersey who also gave $500. All four of them were matched by our friend in Naples, Florida who gave another $2,000. And we were blown away by Frederick in Gainesville, Florida who pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600, Jeff in Sevierville, Tennessee who gave $1,000, and Steve and Carla in Katy, Texas who gave $5,000. Wow! Those 23 gifts add up to $13,150.04. That's the largest total amount in a single day throughout this July 2026 fundraiser. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $94,270 (sound effect of people cheering) We need to raise $29,230 by midnight tonight, July 31st! That means in order to hit our final goal of $123,500 by midnight tonight, Friday, July 31st, God needs to prompt folks to give an astounding $29,230 in order for the 6-member Worldview newscast team to be fully funded for another year. So, as I've said over the last several days, if you have been waiting until the last minute, this … is … it!  We could really use your help.  The finish line is upon us. Perhaps in our national audience, there are three others, just like Steve and Carla in Katy, Texas, who feel led by God to give a one-time gift of $5,000. If that $15,000 comes in, we would need just 15 people to either give a one-time gift of $1,000 or make a monthly pledge of $83.33 for 12 months which adds up to $1,000. If all of that is way out of your budget, just give what you can. $10. $20. $30. Every dollar gets us closer. Now, if you can't give a dime, then pray. Pray that God would stir the hearts of those who can give! Just go to TheWorldview.com, click on Give, select the dollar amount, and make sure to click on the “recurring” button if that's your wish.  And remember this, if you want to continue your monthly pledge to The Worldview that you started prior to July 1, 2026, please let me know so we can count your generous ongoing gift toward our total. This newscast team champions the truth and uses the Bible as our plumbline.  We actually cite relevant Bible verses that really come alive as we look at the news of the day.  Plus, we report, and we're unique in this, on the persecuted church, the battles for life and a godly perspective on sexuality, often including action steps on how you can make a difference as a believer.

Welcome to this special series on the history of the Ba'ath Party which ruled Syria and Iraq for decades. It was the party of Saddam Hussein and Bashar al Assad – dictators who betrayed the party's founding fathers. An odd concoction of Arab Nationalism, Socialism, Nativism and Quasi-Fascism, the Ba'ath went from a relatively obscure group of schoolteachers to the defining political force in the Arab World. In this first episode, Sam and Edgar discuss the party's beginnings as well as its rise to power.

Ein Jahr nach dem Sturz des syrischen Diktators Baschar al-Assad gelten mehr als 160.000 Menschen als vermisst. Bisher geheime Fotos und Dokumente werfen ein neues Licht darauf, wie Mitglieder des Assad-Regimes systematisch gefoltert und getötet haben sollen, unter anderem im syrischen Militärkrankenhaus Harasta. Die Daten stammen unter anderem von einer bisher geheimen Festplatte, die aus Syrien geschmuggelt und dem NDR zugespielt worden ist. In dieser 11KM-Folge nimmt uns NDR Investigativ-Journalist Amir Musawy vom internationalen Rechercheprojekt „Damascus Dossier“ mit auf die Spur dieser Festplatte. Es geht um eine geheime siebte Etage und um das Ausmaß von Assads Tötungsmaschinerie. Der NDR hat die Daten mit dem ICIJ und mit internationalen Medienpartnern geteilt. An dem Projekt beteiligt sind neben NDR, WDR und SZ, Daraj Media (Libanon), ARIJ (Syrien), Le Monde (Frankreich), Washington Post (USA), Yle (Finnland), SVT (Schweden), Times of London (Großbritannien), El Pais (Spanien), CBC (Kanada).Diese Folge ist ein 11KM Classic und lief zum ersten Mal am 04.12.2025.Mehr Hintergründe und Infos zum Rechercheprojekt “Damascus Dossier” unter Federführung des NDR hier: https://www.tagesschau.de/investigativ/ndr-wdr/syrien-assad-verbrechen-damascus-dossier-102.htmlHier geht es zum Panorama-Film "Das Damascus Dossier - Anatomie eines Verbrechens": https://1.ard.de/Panorama_Damascus_Dossier In dieser früheren 11KM-Folge geht es um das Gefühl, nicht willkommen zu sein und die hitzige Debatte in der deutschen Politik, in der Betroffene kaum zu Wort kommen: „Syrer in Deutschland: Nicht mehr willkommen?“: https://1.ard.de/11KM_Syrer_in_Deutschland An dieser Folge waren beteiligt: Folgenautor: Marc Hoffmann Mitarbeit: Lisa Hentschel Host: Elena Kuch Produktion: Fabian Zweck, Christiane Gerheuser-Kamp, Christine Frey und Alexander Gerhardt Planung: Caspar von Au und Hardy Funk Distribution: Kerstin Ammermann Redaktionsleitung: Fumiko Lipp und Nicole Dienemann 11KM: der tagesschau-Podcast wird produziert von BR24 und NDR Info.

Aujourd'hui, dans "Le Journal Imprévisible", Augustin Lefebvre consacre sa chronique aux personnalités qui ont refusé, ont rendu ou ont perdu leur Légion d'honneur. C'est le cas de la romancière Agnès Ledig, qui a annoncé rendre sa distinction pour protester contre la loi d'urgence agricole. Un peu plus tôt, c'était l'actrice Rachida Brakni qui la refusait pour des raisons politiques, rejoignant d'autres personnalités de gauche comme le dessinateur Jacques Tardi ou le philosophe Jean-Paul Sartre. Certains refusent la Légion d'honneur par humilité, comme Bernard Pivot, ou par conviction, comme Philippe Séguin qui ne voulait pas recevoir une décoration que son père, tué par les nazis, n'avait pas eue. Des personnalités peuvent également perdre leur Légion d'honneur, comme le dictateur syrien Bachar el-Assad, l'ancien cycliste Lance Armstrong ou encore l'ancien président Nicolas Sarkozy. Des réformes ont été mises en place pour tenter de réduire le nombre de décorations attribuées chaque année, passant de près de 280 000 légionnaires à un objectif de 125 000. Depuis 2008, il est possible pour les citoyens de proposer eux-mêmes des candidats à la Légion d'honneur, dans le but de mieux représenter l'ensemble du territoire français.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

While the world's attention has focused on the Strait of Hormuz and the escalating conflict between the United States and Iran, another potentially transformative front has opened in Lebanon. Israeli attacks against the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah have left more than 4,000 people dead and displaced over a million. Now, a fragile ceasefire has raised a question diplomats have struggled with for decades: Can Hezbollah actually be disarmed? On the GZERO World Podcast, Ian Bremmer speaks with Lebanese-born journalist and Middle East expert Kim Ghattas about Iran's shrinking regional influence, Israel's possible plans for a long-term buffer zone, and Lebanon's best chance in decades to reclaim control of its territory. Hezbollah remains armed, but Ghattas argues that it is substantially weaker, while the fall of Syria's Assad regime has severed a crucial link in Iran's regional network. Forcing the Lebanese Army to confront Hezbollah could trigger another civil war. Instead, Ghattas says Lebanon must gradually constrain the group, strengthen state institutions, and show Hezbollah's supporters that diplomacy can deliver more than armed resistance. That will require Israeli withdrawals, international support, and difficult negotiations over the political future of Lebanon's Shia community. “You constrain their capacity to operate. You crowd them out,” Ghattas says. “You demonstrate that diplomacy works and delivers for the Lebanese people in terms of aid, in terms of improved relations with the US.” Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

Secretário-geral das Nações Unidas realiza primeira visita à nação árabe desde a queda do regime do ex-presidente Bashar al-Assad; após quase 14 anos de guerra, país prepara constituição permanente e eleições livres.

The Israeli parliament's decision to postpone a vote on recognising the Armenian genocide by Ottoman Turkey is being seen as a triumph for regional diplomacy, as Azerbaijan in particular seeks to avert a further escalation in tensions between its close allies. The Israeli government gave no official reason for postponing the vote to formally recognise the Armenian genocide by Ottoman Turkey during World War I, which would have ratified a motion approved by the cabinet last month.  Ankara strongly denies the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Armenians constitute genocide. While the motion's architect, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, called recognition a “moral duty”, critics say the move took aim at Turkey amidst rising tensions. Based in Tbilisi, Israeli defence and security expert Eugene Kogan claims Israel badly miscalculated. “Foreign Minister Sa'ar could have waited and not just dropped a bomb that led to different repercussions coming from different sides,” he said. Armenia, which is seeking to normalise ties with Turkey, reacted coolly, with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan saying he saw no need to comment. Meanwhile, Israel's close ally Azerbaijan reportedly lobbied Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to drop the motion. “At the end of the day, it might be either dropped or dismissed, and it will not come again to the new parliament agenda,” predicted Kogan. The Knesset dissolved on 17 July and won't reconvene until after elections scheduled for 27 October. Israel's recognition of the Armenian genocide unsettles Turkey and Azerbaijan Azerbaijan's influence The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that pressure from Azerbaijan tipped the scales, though officials deny it. Azerbaijan supplies nearly 40 percent of Israel's oil and is a major customer for Israeli arms. The two countries' partnership involves frequent Israeli ministerial visits and strong military cooperation, especially crucial for Israel given Azerbaijan's border with Iran. Baku also maintains a deep alliance with Ankara, summed up in the phrase “one nation, two states”. As Israeli-Turkish tensions flare over the Gaza conflict and Ankara's support for Hamas, Azerbaijan is walking a diplomatic tightrope. Zaur Gasimov, a Caucasus expert at Istanbul's Turkish-German University, believes Baku viewed the Israeli genocide motion as a direct threat to its difficult balancing act. “I can imagine that there were negotiations and talks on various levels between political elites of both countries,” he said. “For Israel, Azerbaijan is still of paramount importance. I would even say it's much more significant than it used to be with regard to the situation in and around Iran. So Baku was and is maybe the key intermediary between Israel and the Republic of Turkey.” In what may be a calculated move to turn up the heat on Israel, Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev welcomed Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa this month. It was the first visit by a Palestinian leader since 2011. “They [Israel] perceive it with a great sense of caution,” claimed analyst Kogan. “They don't know exactly what came out of this particular meeting between Aliyev and the Palestinian prime minister. And so there is a lot of guessing games right now taking place in both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem about the outcome.” Such ambiguity over Baku's intentions could strengthen its diplomatic hand, he suggested: “If Aliyev is involved in this Palestinian issue directly and no longer indirectly, it makes the situation very different for the Israelis.” Turkey warns it could be Israel's 'next enemy' as tensions escalate Syrian precedent Baku is already leveraging its strong relationships with both Israel and Turkey to cool tempers. “We have organised meetings between Turkey and Israel in Baku, specifically at the very beginning of the change of the Assad regime in Syria, where both parties had their own legitimate concerns,” said Hikmet Hajiyev, chief foreign policy adviser to the Azerbaijani president. Syria is viewed as a potential flashpoint, with Israel and Turkey having a military presence. One tangible outcome of Azeri-brokered talks was the establishment last year of a military hotline in Syria, providing a rare glimmer of hope as tensions continue to mount. “It's not unavoidable that Israel and Turkey will reach confrontation. I think we can stop this process,” argued Gallia Lindenstrauss, a specialist in Turkish foreign policy at Tel Aviv University's Institute for National Security Studies. “They have a hotline between the Israeli Air Force and the Turkish Air Force, making sure that we will not have a collision in the skies of Syria, because we know both air forces are operating there. And the hotline has managed to keep the situation quiet. If I'm trying to find some anchor of reassurance that Turkish-Israeli relations can be controlled, it's Syria.” As Israel approaches elections, a temporary lull in Turkish-Israeli tensions is anticipated. Still, since the main opposition shares the government's concerns over Turkey, relations are set to remain fraught.

Ghost sits down with geopolitical analyst Firas Modad of the Lotus Eaters for a sprawling, two hour conversation that covers an enormous amount of ground. They dig into the stalemate in Iran, the shifting alliance between Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and why Israel keeps finding itself on the outside looking in. From there the discussion turns philosophical, touching on multipolarity, the nature of empire, Christianity's place in the West, and some genuinely spicy disagreements about Zionism, Qasim Soleimani, and whether economic entanglement actually prevents war. The two do not agree on everything, and that is the point. Expect sharp historical detail on the Astana process, the fall of Assad, and Saudi Arabia's oil dependent trust fund politics, all wrapped in a conversation Ghost himself admits could have gone another hour. A dense, opinionated, occasionally combative watch for anyone who likes their geopolitics served with real pushback.

A new report from the Health and Social Care Committee says customers are being pushed towards products high in fat, sugar and salt which are typically cheaper than more nutritious food and that the government's food policy needs overhauling. The chair of the committee, Liberal Democrat MP Layla Moran, talks to Nuala McGovern about their recommendations.New analysis in The Economist suggests after years of progress fewer women are reaching executive positions and there may be signs that younger women are becoming less interested in promotion. Nuala McGovern speaks to the author of that analysis and a woman who left an executive role to rebalance her life. We hear from Sarah Ruggins who recently broke the world record for cycling the length of Europe - a distance of over 6,000 kilometres – double the length of the Tour de France. She only started cycling three years ago having spent a decade recovering from a condition that saw her bedridden and immobile – Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, one of medicine's most painful conditions. Sarah now holds three ultra-cycling records.Known at one point as the Diana of the Middle East and the rose of the desert, Asma al-Assad, the wife of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, quickly became a well-known face around the world. But just how much do we know about the London-born former First Lady and the role she played in her dictator husband's oppressive dictatorship where peaceful protests against his regime were violently repressed, eventually leading to 13 years of civil war that saw more than half a million people killed. Nuala speaks to investigative journalist Chloe Hadjimatheou about her new podcast, We Call Her Emma. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey

Since October 7, West Asia has witnessed a cascade of crises, from the war in Gaza, attacks on Red Sea shipping, to the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, and direct military confrontation between Israel and Iran. Together, these events have reshaped the region's geopolitical landscape. For India, the stakes are particularly high. New Delhi has spent years cultivating close ties with Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and other Gulf states while pursuing a policy of strategic autonomy and multi-alignment. But as rivalries sharpen and instability becomes more persistent, can India continue to balance relationships with competing powers? Or does this new regional reality demand a rethink of its long-term strategy?

Nu de spanningen rond de cruciale zeeroute oplopen, zien Syriërs ineens nieuwe kansen voor een oud plan: gas en olie via pijpleidingen door Syrië vervoeren, als alternatief voor de kwetsbare route door de Golf. In Rusland is de dreiging rond Hormuz juist een klein meevallertje: de stijgende olieprijs spekt de Russische staatskas. De vraag is alleen of dat effect opweegt tegen de economische druk die ontstaat nu Oekraïne erin slaagt steeds meer Russische raffinaderijen te treffen. In Bureau Buitenland: Zomertafel schuiven voormalig diplomaat Petra Stienen en Ruslandkenner Pjotr Sauer aan. Met Stienen kijken we naar het nieuwe Syrië en de bijzondere relatie die het land, ondanks de val van Assad, nog altijd met Moskou onderhoudt. En Sauer vertelt hoe de steun voor het Kremlin binnen de Russische elite steeds verder afbrokkelt. Presentatie: Laila Frank.

Tijdens de Syrische burgeroorlog raakten 160 tot 200 duizend Syriërs vermist. Met de zoektocht naar die mensen is anderhalf jaar na de val van dictator Bashar al-Assad nog nauwelijks een begin gemaakt. Waarom gaat het zo traag? En wie zitten er achter de recente aanslagen in hoofdstad Damascus? Luister naar onze correspondent in het Midden-Oosten, Jenne Jan Holtland, die onlangs in Syrië was.Studenten opgelet!

Good afternoon, I'm _ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 146-points this morning from Thursday's close, at 45,500 on turnover of $14.8-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed lower Thursday after an earlier upturn was reversed when market sentiment became spooked by renewed geopolitical concerns as the United States and Iran launched fresh attacks. Selling focused on select large-cap liquid tech stocks as contract chipmaker TSMC faced heavier pressure, pushing down the Taiex. 86 Indonesian students awarded Taiwan scholarships Eighty-six Indonesian students have been awarded Taiwanese government scholarships to study in Taiwan this year. Before leaving, they attended a pre-departure orientation in Jakarta held by Taiwan's representative office there, covering student visas, residency procedures and campus life. Taiwan's representative to Indonesia, Bruce Hung, said more than 19 thousand Indonesian students are currently studying in Taiwan, making Indonesia the second-largest source of international students after Vietnam. Hung said Taiwan offers a strong Mandarin-learning environment and diverse (多種多樣的) higher education opportunities, and encouraged the students to learn more about the island's AI and semiconductor industries during their studies. Thailand Pub Fire Leaves Dozens Dead and Injured A huge fire that engulfed a pub in Bangkok overnight has killed at least 27 people and injured dozens more. Rescuers said the fire was reported around midnight Sunday, and firefighters brought the blaze under control early Monday. Footage shared online by first responders shows a huge blaze raging and plumes coming out of the front door of the pub in the northern part of the Thai capital. Thailand's prime minister told reporters at the scene that several people have been taken to the hospital. He says a musician who was performing at the pub told him that he saw smoke coming out of a circuit breaker (斷路器) near the stage before the power went out, then an explosion was heard and thick smoke quickly filled the venue Many of victims were found at the restrooms at the back of the pub. US Launches Strikes on Iranian Military Sites The United States Central Command has launched fresh strikes on Iranian military sites near the Strait of Hormuz, as Washington presses Tehran to guarantee safe passage for commercial shipping through the waterway. The escalation comes as the US political landscape shifts following the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, a prominent (著名的) foreign policy hawk who advocated for military action against Iran and strong ties with European allies. Jagruti Dave has the story from Washington. Syria NewlyElected Parliament Holds First Session Syria's newly elected parliament has held its first session since the ouster of former President Bashar Assad. The reconvening of parliament aims to restart the legislative process after years of conflict and autocratic rule. Two-thirds of the 210-member People's Assembly were elected while one-third were appointed by interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa. The new parliament will serve a 30-month term. The launch indicates progress in drafting new laws as Syria recovers from decades of Assad's rule and a deadly war. Legislators elected Abdul Hamid al-Awak as speaker. Al-Awak, a former judge, defected from the Assad government early in the uprising (起義、叛亂). That was the I.C.R.T.

En Syrie, après des années de sécheresse, c'est cette fois l'excès d'eau qui frappe les agriculteurs. Dans le nord-est du pays, les pluies diluviennes tombées en Turquie ont conduit à l'ouverture des vannes de plusieurs barrages sur l'Euphrate. En quelques heures, le fleuve est sorti de son lit, inondant des centaines d'hectares de cultures et des dizaines de maisons près de Deir ez-Zor. Un épisode qui rappelle aussi la dépendance de la Syrie à son voisin turc, qui contrôle depuis des décennies l'essentiel du débit de l'Euphrate.  De notre envoyée spéciale à Deir ez-Zor, Sous les pieds d'Houssam, il ne reste que de la terre. Une terre sèche, craquelée. Difficile d'imaginer qu'il y a quelques temps, ces champs étaient complètement inondés. « Toute la récolte est partie avec l'eau, se désole Houssam. Tout ce qui devait nourrir nos enfants cette année a été emporté par l'Euphrate. C'est de plus en plus dur. Le gasoil est trop cher. Comment va-t-on se relever de ça ? Quand ce n'est pas l'inondation, c'est la sécheresse. » En quelques heures, près de 500 hectares de terres agricoles ont été engloutis. Les eaux ont détruit plusieurs stations de pompage et emporté les ponts flottants qui reliaient, sur l'Euphrate, les deux rivages. Désormais, pour traverser, pas d'autre choix que de prendre un bac. «​​​​​​ Je fais l'aller-retour tous les jours pour aller travailler. C'est un vrai coût, dénonce un habitant. Chaque traversée nous coûte deux dollars. » L'Euphrate n'a pas seulement avalé les récoltes. Il est aussi entré dans les maisons. « Toute la boue est entrée dans la maison, témoigne Ahmad. Le carrelage est détruit. » Ahmad et Rania venaient tout juste de rentrer après des années d'exil. Leur maison, construite près du fleuve, avait été occupée pendant des années par la 4ᵉ division du clan Assad. L'ensemble avait été pillé. Ils venaient de tout réparer… « On a peur que ça recommence », confie Rania. Le couple pourrait partir, mais pour aller où ?, interrogent-ils. Et pour Rania, une seule responsable, la Turquie. À lire aussiSyrie: le président complète la formation du premier Parlement post-Assad ​​​​​​​« La Turquie a toujours utilisé l'eau pour régler ses problèmes politiques » À Deir ez-Zor, le niveau de l'Euphrate ne dépend plus seulement de la pluie. Le fleuve prend sa source en Turquie. Et c'est là-bas, en amont, que les barrages construits par Ankara contrôlent l'essentiel de son débit. Hassan cultive ces terres depuis trois générations. «​​​​​​​ Le fait que la Turquie retienne de l'eau a des répercussions jusque sur nos puits. Quand le niveau du fleuve baisse, celui des eaux souterraines baisse également, souligne-t-il. Et nos puits, peu profonds, d'environ dix mètres, se retrouvent à sec. » Lancé à la fin des années 1970, le vaste programme hydraulique turc compte aujourd'hui sur le Tigre et l'Euphrate quelque 18 barrages. Leur gestion alimente depuis plus de 30 ans les tensions avec la Syrie et l'Irak. « La Turquie a toujours utilisé l'eau pour régler ses problèmes politiques avec ses voisins. C'est arrivé, par exemple, lorsque la Turquie a eu des différends avec l'Irak, car l'Euphrate traverse aussi l'Irak, poursuit Hassan. Ils font pression en réduisant le débit, jusqu'à ce que l'eau qui arrive soit très faible. » Le long de l'Euphrate, les paysans répètent tous la même chose : l'eau ne suit plus les saisons, mais les décisions. Après quatorze années de guerre, il va falloir réussir à relancer l'agriculture, avec un fleuve dont ils ne maîtrisent pas le cours. À écouter dans Le débat du jourLa Syrie devient-elle un partenaire fiable?

As Aimen works hard to uncover the truth of what's going on in the region now that the MoU has been torn to shreds — or so it seems — and in recognition of Syria being taken off the State Sponsor of Terrorism list, we are rerunning this episode from last year where Aimen tells the story of his nephew who joined the jihad against the Assad regime.

On the sidelines of an eventful Nato summit in Ankara, US President Donald Trump was sitting next to his Syrian counterpart Ahmad Al Shara when he announced his intention to lift Syria's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism. The move would bring massive relief for the country as it attempts to rebuild in a post-Assad era. But Mr Al Shara's presence at the summit also reflects Syria's increasingly important security role in the region. With Iran's weakened influence, other powers are seeking to capitalise on the void in Syria and across the border in Lebanon. Mr Trump suggested last month that Damascus could handle Hezbollah, with which Israel has been at war. Meanwhile, Nato host Turkey, which sees Israel as a threat, has been strengthening its relationship with the new Syrian government. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher unpacks the battle between foreign powers to hold sway over Syria and examines how Mr Al Shara will handle it. We hear from The National's Turkey correspondent Lizzie Porter and Noah Bonsey, senior adviser on Syria at the International Crisis Group.

Caesar and Sami risked everything to show the world what was truly going on in Syria after the 2011 revolution. The Caesar files are a collection of tens of thousands of photos documenting human rights abuses and torture in Syria under the dictator Bashar al-Assad. They have become the cornerstone of Syrian war crime prosecutions around the world.This is the story of the one of the most remarkable and daring collections and the courageous men behind it. A collection which may not just steer the course of international justice, but will serve as a permanent historical archive of a horrifying legacy for Syrians. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Troubling signs out of Moscow suggest the Kremlin may soon order another military mobilization. We examine why Vladimir Putin may be running out of volunteers, what a new draft could mean for the war in Ukraine, and why such a move could become one of the biggest political gambles of his presidency. President Trump signals he's open to restoring Turkey's access to the F-35 stealth fighter. We break down why Ankara was expelled from the program in the first place, what's changed, and why the proposal is already raising concerns among some of America's allies. A pair of bombings rocks Damascus during French President Emmanuel Macron's historic visit to Syria. We explain what the attacks reveal about the country's fragile post-Assad transition and why ISIS may be trying to derail Syria's return to the international stage. In today's Back of the Brief: The Pentagon appears to be reversing course on a previously canceled troop deployment to Poland, signaling renewed support for NATO's eastern flank amid continued tensions with Russia.

When the Arab Spring reached Syria in 2011, Bashar al-Assad's regime showed itself for what it really was: a brutal force, willing to capture and kill ordinary Syrians demanding change. And in all the years that a war raged on, Asma stood by her husband. She seemingly ignored the desperate pleas to stop her husband from killing his own people. But what did she really know about the atrocities her husband's government was carrying out? And what choices did she really have? Some people allege that she actually assisted the regime and cashed in on the war, that she herself is a war criminal. Others say she tried to run away but was trapped, held hostage by a regime who threatened her life and her children. So, who is the real Asma...or Emma as she was known?We call her Emma is a 6 part original series from Tortoise Investigates and The Observer.To binge listen to all episodes today, ad-free, subscribe to The Observer and use the code AUDIO50 to get 50% off your annual subscription.Or subscribe to Observer+ on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to listen to all our podcasts, including this one, without any ads.Reporter - Chloe HadjimatheouProducer - Gary MarshallSound design - Karla PatellaPodcast artwork - Lola Williams & Eliza BournerExecutive producers - Jasper Corbett and Basia Cummings Hosted on Acast.

Direction la Syrie où Emmanuel Macron est arrivé lundi 6 juillet. C'est la première visite d'un dirigeant occidental depuis la chute de Bachar al-Assad. Émilie Baujard suit pour RTL ce déplacement hautement symbolique.Hébergé par Audiomeans. Visitez audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

La visite d'Emmanuel Macron en Syrie ne se limite pas à un geste diplomatique. Dans un pays dévasté par plus de quatorze années de guerre, la reconstruction représente un marché estimé à 216 milliards de dollars. Derrière les enjeux politiques se dessinent donc aussi d'importantes perspectives économiques pour les entreprises françaises, dans un contexte de forte concurrence internationale. Accueilli à Damas par son homologue Ahmed al-Charaa, Emmanuel Macron effectue une visite qui revêt une dimension bien plus économique que symbolique. Après plus de quatorze années de conflit, la Syrie tente de retrouver une place dans l'économie régionale et mondiale. Car le pays part de très loin. L'économie syrienne a été profondément désorganisée par la guerre. Selon la Banque mondiale, le coût de la reconstruction est estimé à 216 milliards de dollars. Depuis la chute du régime de Bachar el-Assad en 2024 et la transition engagée par les nouvelles autorités, Damas cherche à rouvrir progressivement son économie aux investisseurs étrangers. L'objectif est clair : passer d'une économie de survie à une économie de reconstruction, avant d'engager une véritable phase de développement. C'est dans ce contexte que la visite d'Emmanuel Macron prend tout son sens. À lire aussiComment la Syrie peut-elle rebâtir son économie? Des besoins immenses qui attirent les entreprises du monde entier Le chantier est colossal. Aujourd'hui, la Syrie doit quasiment tout reconstruire. Le réseau électrique est en grande partie endommagé et les capacités de production restent insuffisantes. Les infrastructures d'eau et d'assainissement nécessitent également d'importants investissements. Les routes, les ponts, les gares ou encore certains aéroports doivent être remis en état. À cela s'ajoute la reconstruction de centaines de milliers de logements détruits ou rendus inhabitables par les combats. Autant de secteurs qui représentent de véritables opportunités pour les grandes entreprises internationales. La France dispose d'un savoir-faire reconnu dans les domaines des infrastructures, de l'énergie, de l'eau ou encore du bâtiment, mais elle est loin d'être seule sur ce marché. Les pays du Golfe, notamment les Émirats arabes unis, le Qatar et l'Arabie saoudite, se sont déjà positionnés sur plusieurs projets. La Turquie bénéficie quant à elle de sa proximité géographique tandis que la Chine manifeste également son intérêt, fidèle à sa stratégie d'investissements dans les grandes infrastructures. La reconstruction de la Syrie s'annonce ainsi comme un marché international où la concurrence est déjà engagée. Un enjeu économique... mais aussi géopolitique Au-delà des contrats, la présence des puissances étrangères en Syrie répond à des considérations stratégiques. Être présent dans la reconstruction d'un pays comme la Syrie, c'est aussi renforcer son influence dans une région où économie et géopolitique demeurent étroitement liées. Pour la France, rester à l'écart reviendrait donc à laisser ce marché à d'autres acteurs. À l'inverse, participer à cette reconstruction permettrait de conserver une présence économique et diplomatique au Moyen-Orient. Ces perspectives restent toutefois soumises à plusieurs incertitudes. La stabilité du pays demeure fragile, le cadre juridique y est encore en reconstruction et les sanctions internationales, malgré leur assouplissement progressif, continuent de freiner les échanges financiers et commerciaux. Reste enfin la question essentielle : celle du financement. Signer des contrats avec des entreprises internationales est une chose; être en mesure de les financer en est une autre. Les institutions internationales, les États du Golfe et les investisseurs privés pourraient jouer un rôle majeur, mais leur engagement dépendra largement de l'évolution de la situation politique et sécuritaire. Une chose est néanmoins certaine. Les grands acteurs qui participeront demain à la reconstruction de la Syrie seront probablement ceux dont les États auront su, dès aujourd'hui, nouer les bonnes relations diplomatiques.

durée : 00:58:27 - Cultures monde - Depuis la chute du régime Assad il y a un an, la levée des sanctions occidentales a ouvert le marché syrien et suscité de nombreuses promesses de reconstruction. Ces dernières peinent toutefois à se concrétiser, les bailleurs restant frileux face à l'instabilité sécuritaire et économique du pays. Vous aimez ce podcast ?

Lebanon's Christian leaders are openly calling for Israeli annexation and Israeli citizenship. Following the fall of the Assad regime, Druze leaders in southern Syria made similar appeals. What does this reveal about Israel's role in the Middle East—and what should Israel do next?In this video, Avi Abelow explores why persecuted minorities are increasingly looking to Israel, not the United Nations, not Arab governments, and not the international community, for security, freedom, and hope.As Hezbollah tightens its grip on Lebanon and jihadist violence spreads in Syria, many Christian and Druze communities see Israel as the region's only stable democracy and the only country capable of protecting minority rights.Avi explains why these developments challenge the false narrative that Israel is an oppressor and instead highlight the Jewish state's unique role as a defender of freedom in the Middle East. He also examines whether Israel should apply sovereignty to strategic territories to protect both its own citizens and vulnerable minority populations.Could these unprecedented appeals signal a historic turning point for Israel? Are we witnessing the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, or simply the recognition of a geopolitical reality that much of the world refuses to acknowledge?Watch, share your thoughts in the comments, and subscribe for more analysis on Israel, the Middle East, biblical prophecy, geopolitics, and the future of the Jewish state.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

In episode 57 of Tahrir Podcast, Robin Yassin-Kassab joined to discuss his new book, "The Blood Between Us: Syria After the Fall of Assad" (Saqi Books, 2026). This book offers a first-hand account of Syria's abrupt transformation after the collapse of the brutal Assad regime, tracing how decades of protest, repression and resistance culminated in the swift fall of a sixty-year dictatorship. Drawing on reporting and interviews gathered across the country, Robin Yassin-Kassab follows the Syrians living through this fragile new chapter, weighing the freedoms unlocked by the regime's end against the unresolved violence, competing powers and open questions of justice that will determine whether Syria rebuilds or slides back into conflict.Robin Yassin-Kassab is a leading British Syrian writer and journalist. He is a prominent voice on the Syrian Revolution and war, with by-lines in The Guardian, Foreign Policy and Newsweek, and regular appearances on the BBC, Channel 4 and Al Jazeera. He is a contributing editor to the quarterly journal Critical Muslim, and the author, with Leila al-Shami, of the critically acclaimed "Burning Country: Syrians in Revolution and War" (shortlisted for the Folio Prize), as well as the novel "The Road from Damascus". Yassin-Kassab is currently the English editor of the Prisons Museum, an NGO that documents and investigates detention facilities run by both ISIS and the Assad regime.Link to book: https://saqibooks.com/books/saqi/the-blood-between-us/?utm_source=Tahrir&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=TahrirBloodBetweenUsEpisode on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=RBl1godKL5UStreaming everywhere! ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/TahrirPodcast⁠⁠⁠Reach out!

Emma is a high achieving, middle class girl from West London. She seems destined for a successful career in banking and a comfortable British life. Until she makes a decision that will come to define her. In 2001 Emma marries Bashar al-Assad - the now infamous dictator of Syria.In the early days, people inside and out of Syria dared to hope. Alongside his beautiful, progressive wife, Bashar promised to modernise the country.But when the Arab Spring reached Syria in 2011, Bashar's regime showed itself for what it really was: a brutal force, willing to capture and kill ordinary Syrians demanding change. And in all the years that a war raged on, Asma stands by her husband. She seemingly ignored the desperate pleas to stop her husband from killing his own people. But what did she really know about the atrocities her husband's government was carrying out? And what choices did she really have? Some people allege that she actually assisted the regime and cashed in on the war, that she herself is a war criminal. Others say she tried to run away but was trapped, held hostage by a regime who threatened her life and her children. So, who is the real Emma?We call her Emma is a 6 part original series from Tortoise Investigates and The Observer.To binge listen to all episodes today, ad-free, subscribe to The Observer and use the code AUDIO50 to get 50% off your annual subscription.You'll get access to:This series and all our podcasts before anyone elseAd-free listeningPremium newslettersPuzzles from the inventors of the cryptic crosswordExclusive offers from our partners including Mubi and iescapeTickets to join Observer events in our newsroom or onlineOr subscribe to Observer+ on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to listen to all our podcasts, including this one, without any ads.Reporter - Chloe HadjimatheouProducer - Gary MarshallSound design - Karla PatellaPodcast artwork - Lola Williams & Eliza BournerExecutive producers - Jasper Corbett and Basia Cummings Hosted on Acast.

It's Friday, June 26th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 250,000 British girls sexually assaulted by Pakistani Muslims Last week, a group called Restore Britain released a summary report of an inquiry into the widespread and systematic sexual exploitation of vulnerable working-class women and children across the nation, reports Breakpoint. At least 250,000 girls were sexually assaulted, trafficked, tortured, and even killed, mostly by gangs of Pakistani Muslims. The details in the report are so horrifying, it's difficult to believe they are true.   Evidence of the abuse and reports by victims were downplayed and ignored.  To his shame, when atheist British Prime Minister Kier Starmer, who resigned Monday, was Director of Public Prosecutions and the head of the Crown Prosecution Service, he shockingly dismissed 13,000 cases of suspected child sexual offenders with a warning letter rather than attempt to prosecute. British citizens who spoke out about the abuse or expressed criticism of mass migration were often prosecuted, especially if the criticisms were directed at Pakistani or Muslim communities.  The gangs that have been operating in Britain have deep ideological and cultural roots shaped by Islam, including Sharia law. Also ignored is the difficult truth that Islam, on its own terms, allows child sexual exploitation and trafficking.   Many of the young Muslim men responsible for these atrocities believe they are answerable to Sharia law, rather than to British law. They believe their devious assaults are approved by Islam's false god Allah, especially when done to an enemy who is oppressing them.  Send a 2-3 sentence letter urging that British authorities prosecute the rapists.

Twin earthquakes in Venezuela killed 164, injured 1,000 At least 164 people have been killed and 971 injured in Venezuela after powerful back-to-back earthquakes rocked the country on Wednesday night, June 24th, reports Yahoo News. Thousands more are feared dead after a magnitude 7.2 earthquake hit about 100 miles west of the capital, Caracas, followed less than a minute later by a magnitude 7.5 tremor, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. In a Truth Social post, President Donald Trump said, "The U.S.A. stands ready, willing, and able to help! I have instructed all agencies of our government to get ready to move quickly. We will be there for our new and great friends." Supreme Court delivers major win to Trump On June 25th, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration's decision to end Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from Syria and Haiti, reports TownHall.com. In a 6-3 decision, the justices found that the statute bars judicial review of non-constitutional claims. After the Department of Homeland Security moved to terminate Temporary Protected Status for people from Syria and Haiti, it was hit with a deluge of lawsuits challenging the move. Congress created Temporary Protected Status back in 1990 to grant short-term humanitarian relief to foreigners who cannot safely return home due to armed conflict, natural disasters, or other extreme conditions. Syrians were able to take advantage of the program in 2012 because of the brutality of the Bashar al-Assad regime. Haiti received it in 2010 after a devastating earthquake. However, both designations went on for longer than the “temporary” label suggested. Alarm over Abortion Pills & dead babies in U.S. water supply Based on an alarming 86-page report entitled “Abortion in Our Water,” 14 state attorneys general sent a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency warning about a “growing threat to the country's waterways as a result of the pharmaceutical abortion drug mifepristone,” reports Liberty Counsel. They're asking the EPA to place mifepristone and its generics on the federal list of drinking water contaminants that need further investigation. The abortion industry has moved from clinics to toilets. Chemical abortions now account for 63% of all U.S. abortions in the formal health care system in 2023 — up from 31% in 2014 and 14% in 2005. Women are told to take the Abortion Kill Pills and flush everything directly into our water supply. About 700,000 chemical abortions each year send long-lasting abortion drugs and human remains into America's wastewater systems. Mifepristone blocks progesterone, thus starving the baby. This drug has long-lasting metabolites that remain in the water because the water treatment plants are generally not capable of filtering out these chemicals. In addition to these chemicals, the water systems were never designed for the resulting 30-40 tons of human remains which becomes hazardous medical waste! By contrast, hospitals and abortion mills are not allowed to flush medical waste down the drain for good reason. Through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com, you can send faxes to Congress and demand they take action to stop this public health threat. Court blocks California “gender secrecy law”, affirms parental rights California parents scored a big victory as a court blocked a law that kept school districts from reporting a child's “sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression” to parents, reports the Daily Citizen. America First Legal announced the decision on behalf of the City of Huntington Beach and parents.  “The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit entered a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of key provisions of California's AB 1955 – a law that prohibits schools from disclosing information to parents about a child's sexual orientation, ‘gender identity,' or gender expression, unless the child consents.” In other words, the State of California sought to prevent parents from obtaining information about “gender transitions” of their own children without the child's so-called consent. Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1955 which, as California Family Council explained, prohibited schools from notifying parents if their gender-confused children asked to be referred to with a biologically incorrect pronoun and a new name. In Matthew 19:4, Jesus said, “Surely you have read in the Scriptures: When God made the world, 'He made them male and female.'” Singer Forrest Frank unashamedly affirms exclusive truth about Jesus And finally, Christian hip-hop musician Forrest Frank is playing in sold out arenas and boldly declaring the exclusive truth about Christianity. Listen to a portion of his hit song "Jesus Is Alive" which was released on May 8th. By the time of its release, the song already had 19 million views on social media. FRANK: “Muhammad is still in his tomb. Joseph Smith is still in his tomb. Buddha is still in his tomb. Confucius is still in his tomb. “But there is one man who was not found in the tomb. I've been there. The tomb is empty. He was seen alive by over 500 eyewitnesses who wrote down accurate accounts that we saw the man who hung on the cross, and we touched the scars. “Watch this word: Alive. Jesus is the King, and He's alive. Jesus is alive.” Matthew 28:5-6 records, “The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay.'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, June 26th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

The $216 Billion Rebuild of Syria. Guest: Josh Rogin and Bill Roggio. Josh Rogin reports that Syria requires $216 billion for reconstruction following the fall of the Assad regime. He explains that US "State Sponsor of Terrorism" sanctions prevent American businesses from bidding on contracts, leaving an opening for Chinese and Russian technology to dominate the new government's infrastructure. 151910 SYRIA

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-22-26.1787The Fog of Diplomacy in the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Ambassador Hussain Haqqani and Bill Roggio. Guests discuss competing headlines regarding "progress" in US-Iran negotiations and ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Ambassador Haqqani notes neither side has achieved its original war aims, while Bill Roggio argues the US lacks the military will to reopen the Strait, leaving Iran with the strategic advantage. 1Pakistan as a Strategic Mediator. Guest: Ambassador Hussain Haqqani and Bill Roggio. John Batchelor examines Pakistan's role as a mediator between the United States and Iran. Ambassador Haqqani explains that Pakistan provided an "exit ramp" for the Trump administration by utilizing its unique access to the IRGC and Iran's power structure to facilitate communication and avoid further military escalation. 2Hamas Sidelined in Regional Talks. Guest: Samuel Ben-Ur and Bill Roggio. Samuel Ben-Ur explains why Hamas has been sidelined in recent Iranian negotiations compared to Hezbollah. Relations soured when Hamas failed to support Iranian strikes against Qatari targets. Currently, Hamas remains funded by Qatar and Turkey while maintaining a brutal "reign of terror" over the portions of Gaza it still controls. 3The Legality and Lethality of Armed Conflict. Guest: Henry Sokolski. Henry Sokolski analyzes a public memo from Admiral Brad Cooper regarding the legitimacy of lethal force. They discuss the necessity of proportionality in conflict, arguing that avoiding civilian targets like nuclear reactors is a military requirement for success, as destroying essential infrastructure alienates populations and complicates future operations. 4Latin America's Shift to the Right. Guest: Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa. Guests discuss the right-wing political shift in Latin America following Abelardo De La Espriella's apparent victory in Colombia. They compare his security-focused platform to the Bukele model in El Salvador, emphasizing a mandate to combat the organized crime that has historically penetrated the region's political systems. 5The Slow-Motion Coup in Bolivia. Guest: Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa. The segment addresses the crisis in Bolivia, where Evo Morales is accused of orchestrating a "slow motion coup" via blockades. Ernesto Araújo criticizes Brazilian President Lula's silence on the matter, while Alejandro Peña Esclusa suggests that regional support for the elected government may finally lead to Morales facing legal consequences. 6The Failure to Counter Chinese Influence. Guest: Bill Gertz and Gordon Chang. Bill Gertz details a GAO report revealing that the US spent $1.2 billion on countering Chinese influence without evaluating its impact. The discussion highlights the superior effectiveness of Chinese information warfare, which outspends the US significantly to shape global narratives while American efforts lack a cohesive strategy. 7The Crisis in Air Force Procurement. Guest: General Blaine Holt and Gordon Chang. General Blaine Holt critiques the broken US procurement system, specifically the Air Force's contradictory stance on retiring the A-10 Warthog while keeping the B-52 bomber for a century. He advocates for reform to break contractor monopolies, allowing the military to innovate faster and field cheaper equipment. 8Iran's Economic Demands in Switzerland. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer and Bill Roggio. Jonathan Schanzer argues that Iran is seeking a systemic economic lifeline through billions in unfrozen assets. He criticizes recent US oil waivers as a sign of caving to pressure. Iran aims to link a Lebanon ceasefire to negotiations to delay nuclear discussions and drive a wedge. 9Resurgent Piracy in the Gulf of Aden. Guest: Bridget Toomey and Bill Roggio. Bridget Toomey reports a resurgence of Somali piracy, with three ships recently captured for ransom in the Gulf of Aden. Bill Roggio links this spike to Al-Shabaab's growth and suggests that pirate networks may be coordinating with the Houthis to facilitate weapons smuggling and increase regional instability. 10The Flaws of the Iran Memorandum. Guest: Edmund Fitton-Brown and Bill Roggio. Edmund Fitton-Brown critiques the current US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, calling it a failure of negotiation that incorporates "every Iranian trick." He argues Iran's core goals—the destruction of Israel and the expulsion of US influence—remain unchanged, and that the US has displayed a defeatist lack of patience. 11Eurasian Interests in Middle East Conflict. Guest: Edmund Fitton-Brown and Bill Roggio. Guests discuss how Russia and China are benefiting from America's Middle East difficulties, often frustrating US objectives on the nuclear file. Fitton-Brown notes the Europeans have been "anemic," failing to coordinate a forceful naval presence to ensure the Strait of Hormuz remains reliably open for global energy trade. 12Ukraine's Military Manpower Crisis. Guest: John Hardie and Bill Roggio. John Hardie discusses Ukrainian military reforms aimed at addressing the manpower crisis by clarifying pay and contract lengths. While intended to prevent desertion, there is skepticism that the government can fulfill promises to discharge long-serving troops without risking a collapse of the front lines against Russia. 13Hezbollah's Shadow Banking System. Guest: Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio. Ahmad Sharawi examines Al-Qard Al-Hassan, Hezbollah's financial arm that provides social services and interest-free loans outside the official banking system. Although Israel has targeted its branches, the Lebanese government is hesitant to shut it down, allowing it to sustain the group's operations through gold-backed financing. 14The $216 Billion Rebuild of Syria. Guest: Josh Rogin and Bill Roggio. Josh Rogin reports that Syria requires $216 billion for reconstruction following the fall of the Assad regime. He explains that US "State Sponsor of Terrorism" sanctions prevent American businesses from bidding on contracts, leaving an opening for Chinese and Russian technology to dominate the new government's infrastructure. 15Recommendations for a New Syria Policy. Guest: Josh Rogin and Bill Roggio. Josh Rogin recommends that the US prepare to lift the terrorism designation on Syria to support reconstruction and counter adversarial influence. He argues the current Al-Shara government is the only viable partner for stability and that US bureaucratic inertia is currently benefiting China, Russia, and Iran. 16
