Podcast appearances and mentions of Clarissa Ward

With Pope Francis' funeral just hours away, the Vatican says about 250,000 paid their respects to the pontiff in St. Peter's Basilica. Francis was known for his love of those on the margins - immigrants, the poor, those too often shunted aside. CNN's Clarissa Ward talks with a female inmate who met the pope last year, when he came to her prison. She remembers him as a “Pope of the people.” And perspective on this moment from Andrew Sullivan, who has written often, and eloquently about the pontiff, the church, and his own Catholic faith.

The United Kingdom wants to turn off the sun. If only there were a half-dozen science fiction stories that told us that was a bad idea. Oh, wait… Clarissa Ward has returned after she faked rescuing a Syrian prisoner. Now she's in the Vatican and we're wondering what she's faking this time. The news media is making it sound like Texas governor Greg Abbott is helping developers build communities that house illegals. But is he really?President Donald Trump is done with Russia/Ukraine shenanigans. The negotiations continue, but it looks like Trump is ready to get this wrapped up. The only question left is whether Putin and Zelensky can play nice.GUEST: Josh Firestine | Bill RichmondLet American Financing help you regain control of your finances.

Arrêt sur trois images qui ont marqué l'année 2024, aux États-Unis, en Syrie et au Soudan. Le premier arrêt sur image nous conduit aux États-Unis et à la photo publiée par le New York Times, quelques heures après l'attentat contre Donald Trump, le 14 juillet. On y voit l'ancien et futur président lors d'un meeting en Pennsylvanie, devant un pupitre rouge frappé du slogan « Make America Great Again » (« Rendre sa grandeur à l'Amérique »). Donald Trump a une casquette rouge. Il tourne la tête et, juste à côté de lui, une trainée blanche sur un fond azur, un peu comme un avion très loin dans le ciel. C'est le sillage de la balle qui vient de lui érafler l'oreille.Cette photo est signée d'un photographe du New York Times, Doug Mills, qui avait, selon un spécialiste balistique du FBI, une chance sur un million de capturer cet instant précis. Après, Trump apparaît le poing levé, puis avec un pansement à l'oreille. Et d'autres images marquantes suivront, comme celle d'Elon Musk sautillant comme un enfant dans un de ses meetings. Mais cette photo miraculeuse a su saisir l'événement.À lire aussiUne nouvelle tentative d'assassinat de Donald Trump venue d'Iran aurait-elle été déjouée?Deuxième arrêt sur images, direction la SyrieCette fois, c'est lors d'un reportage de CNN, qui nous montre Clarissa Ward, une reporter blonde dans une prison syrienne de Damas. Elle se met en scène en expliquant être partie à la recherche du journaliste américain Austin Tice, retenu en Syrie depuis 2012. Le régime étant tombé, elle le cherche dans les cellules lorsqu'elle tombe sur un détenu sous une couverture à même le sol. L'homme la remercie avec émotion en lui prenant la main. Il a curieusement l'air bien nourri, porte un manteau en peau retourné très propre pour quelqu'un qui dit avoir passé trois mois en prison.Un site de fact checking syrien, Verify-Sy, nous apprendra que c'est en réalité un lieutenant des services de renseignement du régime, demeuré introuvable depuis. CNN a rétabli la vérité en faisant mine d'avoir levé seule la supercherie. En Syrie, les images sont parfois menteuses.Des photos du journal Le Monde au SoudanFocus sur une série de reportages en huit épisodes, signés Eliott Brachet, et intitulée Au Soudan, une guerre totale, avec des photos d'Abdulmoman Eassa. Sur l'une d'elle, on voit au loin un groupe de cinq personnes, hommes et femmes, sur des chaises en plastique blanc, les pieds dans le Nil. On est sur l'île Tuti, près de Khartoum, juste avant la guerre fratricide entre deux généraux qui auraient fait plus de 150 000 victimes civiles depuis avril 2023.Cette guerre, peu de médias en parlent. Selon l'INA, sur un an, fin juin 2024, on trouve 8 700 mentions d'Israël et Gaza dans les journaux télévisés français, 4 500 mentions de l'Ukraine et seulement 128 mentions du Soudan. Une autre image ouvre le reportage du Monde : celle d'un fossoyeur près de Khartoum devant l'extension sans fin de son cimetière. À lire aussiÀ la Une: au Soudan, la guerre oubliée…

On this episode of ABL Live, we covered a variety of topics, including CNN journalist Clarissa Ward reporting an obviously fake story of an abandoned prisoner in Syria, James O'Keefe's O'Keefe Media Group exposing a National Security Council advisor, the ongoing issue with the drones over New Jersey and other parts of the United States, flat Earther "Jeranism" going to Alaska to prove his theory correct and being shocked as a result, and much more! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/anthony-logan/support

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss whether Trump will force federal workers to end remote work, and a new Emerson Poll shows that 41 percent of Americans under 30 think the murder of healthcare executive Brian Thompson was “acceptable. They also talk about CNN reporter Clarissa Ward's blockbuster video report from a Syrian jail - a report that turned out to be false. The man she helped “free” from the prison has since been identified as a first lieutenant in Syrian air force intelligence with a long history of alleged war crimes. Next, RCP White House correspondent Phil Wegmann and Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) discuss Congress' last minute efforts to pass a continuing budget resolution, an end of the year spending bill that Roy condemns as "a blank check." Roy also provides a behind-the-scenes look at a recent meeting with Elon Musk and members of Congress. And finally, Andrew Walworth talks to Fox News Senior Political Analyst Juan Williams about Trump's agenda and the challenges he will face from Republicans and Democrats during his first 100 days. Also a preview of Williams' latest book, "New Prize for These Eyes: The Rise of America's Second Civil Rights Movement".

“Ukrainian intelligence sent about 20 experienced drone operators and about 150 first-person-view drones to the rebel headquarters in Idlib, Syria, four to five weeks ago to help Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the leading rebel group based there, the knowledgeable sources said. The aid from Kyiv played only a modest role in overthrowing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Western intelligence sources believe. But it was notable as part of a broader Ukrainian effort to strike covertly at Russian operations in the Middle East, Africa and inside Russia itself.”  –From the Washington Post In this week's bonus episode, we present a recording from our special Gaslit Nation political salon on Monday, where we honored Syria.

With no shortage of conflicts in today's world, journalists covering war zones provide indispensable reporting and analysis, often at great personal risk. Few war correspondents have more experience covering conflict than CNN'S Clarissa Ward, who has covered conflicts from Afghanistan to Ukraine, to Syria and Gaza, reporting from the world's hot spots providing first-hand accounts of violent conflicts and their impact on civilians. Most recently, Clarissa and her crew were detained by an armed militia in Darfur.   What does it take to cover conflict? How does reporting on one conflict differ from another? And how do journalists witnessing the horrors of violent conflict keep their own emotions and feelings out of the story?   Join Aaron David Miller as he sits down with Clarissa Ward to discuss the challenges and travails of reporting from some of the world's most dangerous conflict areas. 

On today’s show: ABC News reports new details on the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

In the early hours after Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad's fall, rumors flew of secret prison cells locked by fleeing guards, deprived of inside of food, water and even oxygen. Today, the Association of Detainees and the Missing say that the notorious Saydnaya prison is now empty, with the White Helmet rescuers confirming "no evidence of undiscovered secret cells or basements." But before that confirmation, fueled by fear and desperation, thousands of relatives went there in search of those who had been condemned to Assad's dungeons. Correspondent Clarissa Ward reports from Damascus.   Also on today's show: EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas; former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colby; former Republican and Democratic Counsels to the Senate Judiciary Committee Gregg Nunziata and Noah Bookbinder  Learn more about your ad choices.

Dans le nord de l'enclave palestinienne, « depuis deux jours, personne ne sort », explique au Monde un journaliste palestinien. Les habitants sont « abandonnés à leur sort », « les secours n'atteignent plus ces zones, après avoir été menacés », raconte le journal français. Une situation d'autant plus difficile à documenter que « la plupart des reporters palestiniens ont fui vers le sud depuis un an »... Et les journalistes étrangers n'ont pas le droit d'entrer à Gaza depuis le 7 octobre 2023.En un an, seule une reporter occidentale a pu entrer dans l'enclave. L'anglo-américaine Clarissa Ward, pour CNN. Libération dresse son portrait ce matin. En décembre dernier, elle avait « bravé le blocus informationnel » et passé « trois petites heures » à Gaza, offrant « des plans à la volée d'un territoire dévasté par les frappes de l'armée israélienne ».Clarissa Ward est devenue « le visage du journalisme occidental en zone de guerre », avec la patte CNN : elle « au premier plan, [...] une mise en scène un brin sensationnaliste qui permet surtout de capter l'attention du public américain ». Elle estime « jouer le rôle de traductrice entre ces deux mondes. Si j'arrive, dit-elle, à faire comprendre à un téléspectateur américain ce que ça fait de vivre en Afghanistan, j'ai réussi mon boulot ».À lire aussiLe conflit à Gaza omniprésent au Prix Bayeux des correspondants de guerre 2024Géorgie : les tensions restent vives après les législativesRêve Géorgien, parti au pouvoir devenu proche du Kremlin, a remporté ce scrutin entaché d'irrégularités.

Ce scrutin est « une nouvelle patate chaude dont l'Europe se serait bien passée », analyse Le Figaro pour qui « laisser tomber la Géorgie aux mains du maître du Kremlin serait un nouveau signe d'abandon pour l'Ukraine ».Pour le journal suisse Le Temps, « la Géorgie hypothèque son avenir européen », après ces élections« entachées d'irrégularités ».

Rodri, « milieu de terrain colossal, sans magie, mais aux performances et à la stabilité énormes », décrit El Pais. « Un Ballon d'Or qui revendique la normalité » rebondit La Razon.Les jurés « ont choisi de distinguer l'intelligence, la justesse et le sens collectif plutôt que les statistiques », se félicite L'Équipe qui ajoute qu'ainsi, le Ballon d'Or « cess[e] d'ériger les attaquants en rois du monde » alors que le Real, mauvais joueur, a boudé la cérémonie.À lire aussiBallon d'Or 2024: Rodri roi surprise, Vinicius et le Real Madrid dauphins vexés

About the Lecture: This conversation will be devoted to Elena Kostyuchenko's book I Love Russia: Reporting from a Lost Country (2023), “a haunting book of rare courage,” as Clarissa Ward, CNN chief international correspondent, called it. In March 2022, as a correspondent for Russia's last independent newspaper, Novaya Gazeta, Kostyuchenko crossed the border into Ukraine to cover the war. It was her mission to ensure that Russians witnessed the horrors Putin was committing in their name. I Love Russia stitches together reportage from the past fifteen years with personal essays, assembling a kaleidoscopic narrative that Kostyuchenko understands may be the last work from her homeland that she'll publish for a long time—perhaps ever. It exposes the inner workings of an entire nation as it descends into fascism and, inevitably, war. I Love Russia earned several distinctions, including a Best Book of the Year by The New Yorker and TIME, and the Pushkin House Book Prize (London, U.K.). About the Speaker: Elena Kostyuchenko is a Russian journalist; in 2024-2025, she is a Fellow at The Nieman Foundation for Journalism, Harvard University. She was born in Yaroslavl, Russia, in 1987, and she spent seventeen years reporting for Novaya Gazeta, Russia's last major independent newspaper, until it was shut down in the spring of 2022 in response to her reporting from Ukraine after the start of the Russian invasion. She is the author of two books published in Russian, Unwanted on Probation and We Have to Live Here, and is the recipient of the European Press Prize, the Free Media Award, and the Paul Khlebnikov Prize. This event is part of the CREECA lecture series, which is held on Thursdays at 4:00 pm. Coffee, tea, and cookies served starting at 3:45. **This talk was co-sponsored by the UW-Madison School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the Center for Journalism Ethics.**

A federal jury convicted Hunter Biden guilty on all three felony gun charges he faced, concluding that he violated laws meant to prevent drug addicts from owning firearms. The conviction marks the first time a president's immediate family member has been found guilty of a crime during their father's term in office, though his crimes predate Joe Biden's tenure as president. After the verdict, Hunter Biden said he was disappointed by the outcome but was "more grateful for the love and support" of his family. President Biden said he accepts the verdict, while supporting his son. "I am the president, but I am also a Dad. Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today." Anderson speaks to two people who've worked with and know President Biden well, CNN political commentators David Axelrod and Kate Bedingfield. Plus, CNN's chief international correspondent Clarissa Ward is granted extraordinary access inside camps in Northern Syria housing women and children captured after ISIS was defeated.

We sat down with him to talk about his experience working in the Middle East, what it was like when he returned to Israel late last year, and how journalists get their information.

We live in a world that is beautiful but brutal. No-one knows that more than war reporter Clarissa Ward, who has spent nearly two decades reporting from front lines around the world: from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan to Yemen, Ukraine, Israel and Gaza.Within hours of Hamas' terror attack on October 7, Ward traveled to the site of the Tribe of Nova music festival and Be'eri kibbutz massacres. Two months later, Ward and her team visited a UAE-run field hospital in southern Gaza as victims – young and old – poured in to receive treatment from wounds sustained in Israeli strikes.Ward was on the ground in Ukraine as Russia began its invasion in February 2022 and has since spent more than five months crisscrossing the country to cover the now two-year war. Clarissa Ward is  recipient of the National Press Club's most esteemed prize, the Fourth Estate Award, and is the author of ‘On All Fronts: The Education of a Journalist' (Penguin Press), a memoir that details her singular career as a conflict reporter and how she has documented the violent remaking of the world from close range.

Ten years ago the podcast industry was in its infancy and the format of Global Dispatches was a bit different than it is today. I would sit down with people who had interesting lives or careers in international affairs and interview them about their life and career, with digressions about the historic foreign policy moments in which their or career intersected. I did around 200 of these longform biographical interviews over the first several years of the podcast. These interviews are mostly behind a paywall at this point, and unlocked for paying subscribers via Apple Podcasts or Spotify. For today, I wanted to bring everyone my 2016 conversation with Clarissa Ward, CNN's Chief International Correspondent. At the time, Clarissa Ward had recently snuck into rebel held territory in Syria.  We kick off with a conversation about the mechanics of sneaking into a conflict zone and the risks that war reporting entails. We then have a long conversation about how and why she became a journalist, including her time in Beirut and Baghdad.   Get more episodes like this by becoming a premium subscriber.

It is the week between Christmas and New Years so I wanted to do something a little different this week and bring you one of my favorite episodes from deep in the archives. Now, I started Global Dispatches ten years ago, in 2013. And back then, aside from the BBC, there weren't really any international affairs and world news podcasts. Today, of course, the landscape is a bit richer and I am happy for that--I don't view other international affaris podcasts as competition, but rather believe that a rising tide lifts all boats so the more the merrier. But ten years ago the podcast industry was in its infancy and the format of Global Dispatches was a bit different than it is today. I would sit down with people who had interesting lives or careers in foreign policy and international affairs and interview them about their life and career, with digressions about the historic foreign policy moments in which their or career intersected. I did around 200 of these longform biographical interviews over the first several years of the podcast. I did so many of these I can't name them all here, but some names you might recognize include George Mitchell, James Stavridis, Joseph Nye, Nick Kristoff, Robin Wright, Fareed Zacharia, Jessica Tuchman Matthews, Dennis Ross, Linda Thomas Greenfield, and so many more. These interviews are mostly behind a paywall at this point, and unlocked for paying subscribers via apple podcasts or Spotify. But for today, I wanted to bring everyone my 2016 conversation with Clarissa Ward. She is CNN's chief international correspondent. At the time, Clarissa Ward had recently snuck into rebel held territory in Syria, including Aleppo. And it was because of her several excursions into Aleppo that she was invited to brief the Security Council later that year. We kick off with a long conversation about the mechanics of sneaking into rebel held territory and the risks that entails. We then have a long conversation about how and why she became a journalist, including her time in Beirut and Baghdad.   And I have been thinking about this nearly 8 year old interview because in December Clarissa Ward became one of the first, if only, western journalist to enter Gaza without embeding with the IDF. She filed a harrowing report from a makeshift hospital in southern Gaza, which I will link to in the shownotes of this episode. 

A field hospital has been set up by the United Arab Emirates government in Rafah, in southern Gaza, to help treat the sick and injured. CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward was able to see their work. CNN is first western media outlet to gain independent access to southern Gaza without an IDF escort. She joins AC360 to share what she saw in the hospital, including a 20-month-old boy who has scratches all over his face, and doesn't even know that his parents and siblings were killed in a strike. Plus, the Iowa caucuses are just a little more than a month away and CNN Chief National Correspondent John King traveled there to speak to Republican voters he's been following for the last five months about former President Trump's lead in the polls. He tells Anderson Cooper why some are hesitant to vote for Trump and what candidate may get their votes.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

CNN's Clarissa Ward and her crew became the first western journalists to enter Gaza independent from Israeli forces since October 7, briefly visiting a 150-bed hospital that was recently constructed in a soccer stadium by the United Arab Emirates in the southern part of the enclave before leaving to report on the footage from Abu Dhabi. Reading by Tim Foley.

durée : 00:07:07 - La Revue de presse internationale - par : Julie Pacaud - La journaliste et correspondante internationale Clarissa Ward a réussi à entrer avec son équipe dans le sud de la bande de Gaza, accompagnée par une équipe médicale émiratie, échappant à la supervision de l'armée israélienne. Elle témoigne de "l'horreur de la guerre moderne."

The $48 million question is about to be answered for Rudy Giuliani, with a jury set to resume deliberations on the damages he will pay for smearing two Georgia election workers.

Plus, a rare look inside a Gaza field hospital, as CNN's Clarissa Ward reports from the front lines of the humanitarian catastrophe.

Tjada D'Oyen McKenna, the CEO of Mercy Corps, shares insights on growing global food insecurity and deepening inequality.At the end of 2022, one in 10 children worldwide were dealing with malnourishment, the result of the worst hunger crisis the world has faced in a generation. It's an effect of the ricocheting of the triple threat of climate change, geopolitical conflict and Covid-19 through the global economy. Though there's little chance of resolving these issues imminently, community-sourced efforts can play a large role in combating the devastation they bring to people around the world.On a recent trip to Somalia, Tjada D'Oyen McKenna, the chief executive of humanitarian aid organisation, Mercy Corps, saw the real-life impact of these global concerns up close. On stage at BoF VOICES 2022, she discussed that experience, and how people around the world can contribute to positive change. “[Global community] should inspire us to really make small actions, to make a difference and figure out ways in our own lives and in our own lines of work where we can contribute,” said D'Oyen McKenna. This week on The BoF Podcast, D'Oyen McKenna discusses details of her visit to Somalia and the effects food insecurity has on society. Key Insights: D'Oyen McKenna believes we all have a responsibility to engage with and respond to crises around the world, even if the causes are out of our hands. “While none of us can fully control the forces that are shaping our world today, we do get to choose how we represent ourselves in that world,” said D'Oyen McKenna. “But also how we engage with the world that we find, how we respond to it and act in it.” Despite the hardships that citizens of Somalia and other impoverished or conflict-ridden countries face, human determination and grit always shine through. “Even amongst this unimaginable hardship and grief… the power of the human spirit really comes alive,” said D'Oyen McKenna. While the world can feel divided with society frequently grouped under different sub-categories, D'Oyen McKenna argues that we should create a new sense of global community. “In a world of pandemics, climate crises and global hunger there is no us and them, only us.”Additional Resources:BoF VOICES 2022: Finding Optimism in an Unsteady World: From the Ukraine War to the climate crisis to the legacy of the pandemic, speakers including CNN's Clarissa Ward, Mercy Corps' Tjada D'Oyen McKenna, Goldman Sachs' Tim Ingrassia and Google X's former chief business officer Mo Gawdat discussed the uncertainty gripping the world — and why there's cause for hope.To learn more about the BoF Professional Summit: Artificial Intelligence, Web3 and an Inflection Point in Fashion Tech, please click here Hosted on Acast.
