Felipe VI ha dado un paso que hace unos años parecía difícil: admitir públicamente que España en la conquista de América cometió “mucho abuso”. Es un gesto, pero no es una petición de perdón, que es lo que llevan años reclamando desde México. La presidenta mexicana, Claudia Sheinbaum, valoró el “gesto de acercamiento” del rey de España y contrastó la actitud del monarca con la de “hace varios años”, “donde ni siquiera se reconoció la carta que envió el presidente López Obrador” solicitando disculpas por los agravios históricos. Aquel rechazo, admitió, provocó el “enfriamiento de las relaciones”, que ahora empiezan a mejorar. Ana Fuentes analiza las consecuencias de este cruce de declaraciones desde la perspectiva española con el periodista de EL PAÍS Miguel González, especializado en diplomacia y Casa Real, y desde la perspectiva mexicana con su compañero Luis Pablo Beauregard, jefe de la redacción de EL PAÍS México.

Donald Trump, aseguró que Estados Unidos no necesita ni desea apoyo de la OTAN para abrir el estrecho de Ormuz, a pesar de que hace tan solo unos días había presionado para formar una coalición internacional. Joe Kent, el ahora exdirector del Centro Nacional de Contraterrorismo de Estados Unidos, renunció a su cargo luego de pronunciarse en contra de la guerra con Irán. La selección irnaní está negociando con la FIFA para no jugar sus partidos del Mundial 2026 en Estados Unidos.No hay plazo que no se cumpla y ayer Claudia Sheinbaum presentó su Plan B a la reforma electoral. ¿Qué debes saber?

En México, el gobierno considera limitar el acceso de los menores a las redes sociales, muy críticadas por sus efectos nocivos en la salud mental de los más jóvenes. Australia es el primera país en haber prohibido totalmente el acceso a aplicaciones como Facebook Snapchat o Tiktok para los menores de 16 años, mientras que otros países como Francia o España se encaminan a tomar medidas similares. La presidenta mexicana Claudia Sheinbaum se dijo favorable a la apertura de un debate sobre la regulación de las redes sociales para los menores de edad. Diversos estudios han demostrado los impacto negativos del uso excesivo de las redes sociales para los niños y adolescentes tales como la alteración del ciclo de sueño, de alimentación, además de efectos en la salud mental. El secretario mexicano de Educación Pública Mario Delgado indicó que le parece pertinente la prohibición de las redes sociales para los menores de 16 años. Una medida drástica que tomó recientemente Australia. Una mala idea, según Juan Martin Pérez, coordinador de la ONG Tejiendo Redes Infancia que defiende los derechos de la niñez y de la adolescencia. Pérez considera que la prohibición de las redes aisla socialmente a los jóvenes y aboga más bien por una mayor responsabilidad de las empresas. “Lo que podamos lograr como estados al regular a las empresas es que de diseño no tengan estos elementos que generan mucho más tiempo de uso intensivo, algoritmos y sus datos, que son perfilados. Porque si vemos es más práctico para los estados prohibir el uso de teléfonos o de redes sociales. Porque no se confronta con el diseño y el negocio de las grandes empresas”. El experto en derechos de los niños, niñas y adolescentes formula recomendaciones para que las grandes plataformas del Internet retiren las funcionalidades más dañinas para los jóvenes: “El Comité de Derechos del Niño de Naciones Unidas dijo con mucha precisión que no se podía usar datos de niños y niñas para perfilar, que es lo que hacen las empresas”, indicó. Pérez explicó que ya hay muchas recomendaciones, incluso en Estados Unidos que están cuestionando el scroll infinito. “Esto de que nunca terminas de ver contenido atrapa el cerebro. Otro elemento central es la transparencia del algoritmo, no sabemos cómo se está diseñando cómo están generando los contenidos y cada vez hay más evidencia de que están promoviendo emociones intensas y lamentablemente la que más vende y expande es el odio. Tercer tema y muy importante, es que las empresas tecnológicas tienen que hacerse cargo de los contenidos, particularmente los que están vinculados a violencia sexual y discursos de odio”, aseguró. En México, el estado de Querétaro prohíbe desde hace un año el uso de teléfonos celulares en todas las escuelas antes del ingreso a la universidad. Una medida tomada en nombre de la lucha contra el ciberacoso.

Emisión del miércoles 11 de Marzo de 2026 17 compromisos y ninguna multa de por medio. Así es el convenio que la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum firmó ayer con Google, Meta y TikTok para combatir la violencia digital contra las mujeres. Voluntario, y hay que subrayarlo, porque importa. Lo presentó Citlalli Hernández, secretaria de las Mujeres, y es producto de mesas de trabajo que ella presidió desde el pasado 27 de noviembre junto con la Agencia de Transformación Digital. Cuatro meses de negociación con las tres plataformas más usadas en México para llegar a esto: un acuerdo que no obliga a nada con fuerza de ley, pero que, al menos, existe. Algo es algo en un país donde, hasta esta semana, no había ningún mecanismo formal acordado con esas empresas para responder a la violencia digital.

Além disso, auxiliares do secretário de Estado Marco Rubio vieram ao Brasil. A repercussão ocorre porque os EUA planejam classificar o PCC e o Comando Vermelho como organizações terroristas. O presidente Lula (PT) teve conversas com os líderes da Colômbia e do México, Gustavo Petro e Claudia Sheinbaum, sobre o assunto. Reportagem: Eliseu Caetano e André Anelli. O ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal Dias Toffoli foi sorteado como relator da ação sobre a CPI do Banco Master na Câmara dos Deputados. O magistrado assume o processo após a saída do relator anterior, mas ainda pode se declarar impedido ou suspeito de conduzir a análise, após polêmicas supostamente envolvendo seu nome no caso. Reportagem: Janaína Camelo. A Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito (CPI) do Crime Organizado aprovou a quebra dos sigilos de Fabiano Zettel e de Luiz Philippi Machado de Moraes Mourão, conhecido como Sicário.

O presidente Lula ainda deve se reunir com o líder do Senado, Davi Alcolumbre (União), na próxima semana para discutir a indicação do ministro Jorge Messias ao Supremo Tribunal Federal. Apesar do anúncio feito no ano passado, o Palácio do Planalto ainda não enviou a oficialização ao Congresso Nacional. O mandatário busca garantir a articulação política necessária antes da sabatina no Senado. Reportagem: Janaína Camelo. O ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal Dias Toffoli declarou-se suspeito para relatar a ação que pede a instalação da CPI do Banco Master na Câmara dos Deputados. O magistrado alegou motivo de foro íntimo para deixar o caso apenas horas após ter sido sorteado como relator. O processo será agora redistribuído a um novo integrante da Corte. Uma nova pesquisa da Genial/Quaest divulgada nesta quarta-feira (11) aponta um empate técnico entre o presidente Lula (PT) e o pré-candidato e senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) em uma simulação de segundo turno para 2026.

“Fidel Castro told his aides, ‘We're going to fill his arms with shit.' That is an example of weaponised migration. What we're experiencing now is on a thermonuclear scale.” — Peter SchweizerIs best selling writer Peter Schweizer a conspiracy theorist? He doesn't think so. His new book, The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, argues that Mexico, China, and the Muslim Brotherhood are using mass migration as a strategic tool to undermine the United States. Not in a coordinated conspiracy—but as a confluence of interests, what he calls a “Venn diagram” of enemies who overlap on one point: transforming America through its borders.Rather than an axis of evil, then, we have a Venn diagram of foreign governments filling America with shitty immigrants. The world according to Peter Schweizer.Some of the claims are more credible than others. Mexico operates 53 consulates in the US—the UK has six. A dozen senior Mexican officials live full-time in the United States while serving in Mexico's parliament, and one of them crossed the country in 2025 to, in his own words, “organise the militancy” against the Trump administration. Chinese birth tourism, encouraged by the CCP, has produced an estimated million children born on US soil who are growing up in China—future voters, donors, and government employees. Hong Kong banned the practice in 2013, calling it subversion. And look at Hong Kong's predicament now.Other claims are harder to take seriously. The idea that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is a revanchist who wants to seize back California strikes me as Latin American magical realism—though Schweizer quotes Mexican officials saying exactly that. And the “Muslim Brotherhood” (whatever that is), which isn't in power anywhere, is no more of a threat to the United States than the Ottoman Empire. I pushed him on whether all immigrants are Manchurian candidates. He says no—but Schweizer's Invisible Coup could easily be confused with silly script for a paranoid Hollywood fantasy.There is, of course, a bit of an irony here. Schweizer's own parents were immigrants—his father Swiss, his mother Swedish. He grew up outside Seattle. His mother warned him, as a young man, about the terrible dangers of Swedish socialism. He favours “some legal immigration”—and sounds almost surprised at his liberal self for saying so. The American dream, he insists, is not dead. It's just being exploited by foreign powers who see America's open borders as a strategic vulnerability. Castro's Mariel boatlift is the model that Claudia Sheinbaum and the Moslem Brotherhood are trying to emulate. Pass the popcorn. Five Takeaways• Immigration Has Been Weaponised: Schweizer argues that Mexico, China, and the Muslim Brotherhood are using mass migration as a strategic tool to undermine the United States. Not in a single conspiracy—but as a confluence of interests, a Venn diagram of enemies who overlap on one point: transforming America through its borders.• Mexico Has 53 Consulates in the US. The UK Has Six: Schweizer's most striking claim: a dozen senior Mexican officials now live full-time in the US, serving in Mexico's parliament, organising what one of them calls “the militancy” against the Trump administration. Mexican consulates have met with Democratic activists to discuss how to flip states from red to blue.• A Million US Citizens Are Being Raised in China: Chinese birth tourism, encouraged by the CCP, has produced an estimated million children born on US soil who are growing up in China. When they turn 18, they can vote, donate to candidates, and take government jobs. Hong Kong banned the practice in 2013, calling it subversion.• The Son of Immigrants Who Fears Immigration: Schweizer's own parents were immigrants—his father Swiss, his mother Swedish. He grew up outside Seattle. His mother warned him about Swedish socialism. He favours “some legal immigration” but wants the weaponised networks dismantled first. The irony is not lost.• The American Dream Is Not Dead—It's Being Exploited: Schweizer insists he's not arguing against immigration itself. The dream survives, he says, but it's being exploited by foreign powers who see America's open borders as a strategic vulnerability. Castro's Mariel boatlift was the template. What's happening now, he says, is the same thing on a thermonuclear scale. About the GuestPeter Schweizer is president of the Government Accountability Institute and a former fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Coup, Red-Handed, Blood Money, and Clinton Cash. He received his M.Phil. from Oxford University.

Donald Trump vuelve a humillar a Claudia Sheinbaum, y es hora de que México firme con firmeza ante la agresión verbal.
Le 22 février, le Mexique a vécu des heures dramatiques après l'élimination par les forces de l'odre de Nemesio Oseguera, alias "El Mencho," le chef du cartel de Jalisco Nouvelle Génératio, une des organisations criminelles les plus dangereuses du monde.L'action de l'armée mexicaine dans un country club de la région montagneuse de Guadalajar a été suivie d'une deuxième séquence.. très médiatique : un grand show du cartel, retransmis sur les réseaux sociaux, mêlant des images bien réelles de guérilla urbaine – voitures en flammes, commerces et banques vandalisés et des vidéos truquées à l'IA qui ont terrorisé des millions de Mexicains. La présidente de gauche Claudia Sheinbaum, soumise à la pression permanente de son homologue américain Donald Trump, en sort malgré tout renforcée selon les sondages. Mais le challenge est énorme : le cartel de Jalisco est présent dans plus de la moitié du pays et bien infiltré dans l'économie légale. Les Méxicains craignent aussi une violente guerre de succession à moins de quatre mois de la coupe de monde de Football, qui se tient en partie au Mexique. Pour en parler Sur le Fil a invité la cheffe du bureau de l'AFP à Mexico, Anna Cuenca, et deux spécialistes, David Mora, expert à l'International Crisis Group et et Bertrand Monnet, professeur à l'EDHEC où il est titulaire de la chaire Management des risques criminel.Réalisation : Michaëla Cancela-Kieffer et Maxime MametInterviews sur le terrain : AFPTVMusique: Nicolas VairDoublages : Maxime Mamet, Emmanuelle Baillon, Luca Mateucci, Ariela Navarro, Thibauld Malterre.

The February 22, 2026 death of cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera, head of Mexico's powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), has reignited debate about security, governance, and the strength of Mexico's organized crime institutions. In the days following the operation, cartel-linked violence spread across multiple states — underscoring both the reach of organized crime and the risks of confronting it. Tony Payan, director of the Baker Institute's Claudio X. González Center for the United States and Mexico, joins Ambassador David Satterfield to examine what Oseguera's death could mean for Mexico's fight against organized crime and the evolving role of the United States in that effort. They discuss the extent of U.S. involvement and coordination in the operation, the political and security pressures facing President Claudia Sheinbaum as she intensifies the government's campaign against cartels, and what this moment may signal for the future of U.S.–Mexico security cooperation. At the center of the conversation is a critical question: Will this operation strengthen the rule of law in Mexico — or simply trigger another cycle of violence?

La única manera de vender lo que quede de la reforma electoral será haber “abaratado las elección”, a costa del Instituto Nacional Electoral y las OPLES. Porque otro tema que tampoco se aborda hasta donde se sabe es el del dinero ilegal de las campañas, que será absolutamente decisivo en los procesos electorales por venir, aunque es cierto que desde hace mucho tiempo está totalmente naturalizado su uso.

Washington Post personal finance columnist, Michelle Singletary, tells the moving story of how a visit to her grade school by the Reverend Jesse Jackson inspired her life and career as described in her column, “How the Rev. Jesse Jackson Taught Me to Keep Hope Alive." Then Ralph welcomes Professor Eric S. Fish from U.C Davis School of Law to explain how grand juries are no longer rubber-stamping frivolous cases brought to them by the Trump Administration. Plus, Ralph gives us his take on Trump's marathon State of the Union speech and the Democratic response.Michelle Singletary writes the nationally-syndicated personal finance column “The Color of Money,” which appears in the Washington Post on Wednesdays and Sundays. In 2021, she won the Gerald Loeb award for commentary. She has written four personal finance books, including, What to Do With Your Money When Crisis Hits: A Survival Guide and The 21-Day Financial Fast: Your Path to Financial Peace and Freedom.The Trump administration's destruction of diversity, equity, and inclusion—they misunderstand what that means. It doesn't mean that you're giving jobs to people who are unqualified. It means that you recognize that the playing field wasn't even, and let's even this playing field. I liken it to a football team. You can't have a football team of all quarterbacks and win. You have to have a quarterback, a running back, a linebacker, you have to have a good kicker. It's the same thing—your team has to encompass people that represent all kinds of abilities to have a winning team. So DEI isn't a giveaway. It isn't charity. It recognizes that when you have people from different backgrounds and different perspectives and different skill levels, you have a winning team.Michelle SingletaryEric S Fish is professor of law at the UC Davis School of Law. Professor Fish's primary research is in criminal law, with particular focus on the ethical duties of participants in the criminal process, the structure of immigration crimes, and the system's emphasis on administrative efficiency. He has also served as a public defender, first with the San Francisco Public Defender's Office, and later as a Federal Defender in San Diego.This has been a really remarkable series of rejections of the Trump administration's prosecutions by ordinary people serving on grand juries, and one that is largely unprecedented in modern American history. I can't think of another example of grand juries rejecting such high-profile cases (and so many of them). Nothing really comes to mind. So in a certain sense, one might say this is the grand jury's original purpose…Initially they were a democratic institution of governance. They were a local check on the colonial oppression of the British (at least in the early colonial period). They refused to indict prosecutions under the Stamp Act, under the revenue laws. They were a tool of anti-colonial resistance to British oppression, and this seems at least broadly analogous to that—local grand juries in places like Minnesota, Chicago, Washington, D.C. are rejecting the Trump administration's attempts to prosecute its political enemies and bring trumped-up charges against protesters.Eric S. FishAll in all, [the State of the Union address] was fodder for political scientists for years to come. A dictatorial serial law violator, self-enriching chronic liar, cruel, vicious to vulnerable people and people without power (which is a majority of the people) elected dictator. This speech—which went for one hour and 48 minutes, the longest State of the Union speech ever—will be analyzed for a long time with the question at the center of the analysis being: How could so many tens of millions of voters be taken in by Trump's mouth, his lies, his false statements, his fantasies, his fake promises, his lack of any kind of record, whether as a businessman where he used bankruptcies as a strategy…and his record as a politician in his first term? That's the question we have to ask ourselves. And it's too easy to say that the Trump voters couldn't stand the Democrats who abandoned them. That's not enough. They could have not voted for Trump. They could have written in a vote. They could have voted for the Green, Libertarian, or other minor parties. They can't use the Democrats as a 100% excuse for voting for Trump. And a lot of them didn't. They just liked Trump. They liked his prejudices. They liked his lies. They liked his fantasies. They liked his fake promises.Ralph NaderNews 2/27/26* Our top stories this week come to us from our southern neighbor, Mexico. First, on February 22nd, Mexican authorities announced they had successfully conducted an operation resulting in the death of Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, aka “El Mencho,” who headed the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). In retaliation, the cartels launched a wave of violence throughout the country. Bafflingly, given the obvious enmity between the cartels and the government of Claudia Sheinbaum, Elon Musk implied that Sheinbaum is in the pocket of the very drug cartels with whom she is practically at war. Reuters reports Musk “responded to a 2025 video of Sheinbaum discussing cartel violence and alleged that she was ‘saying what her cartel bosses tell her to say.” Reuters notes that Musk did not provide further evidence. In fact, much of the strength of the Mexican cartels would actually be more accurately attributed to the United States. As USA Today writes, Mexican officials recovered a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, 10 long arm [rifles], handguns, and grenades, from El Mencho's weapons stockpile. Mexican Defense Minister, Ricardo Trevilla Trejo estimated that about 80% of the recovered weapons were purchased in the United States and smuggled into Mexico. This represents just the tip of the iceberg of the so-called “iron river” of firearms flooding Mexico's black market from the U.S. As opposed to the lax gun laws in the states, gun ownership in Mexico is “tightly restricted…[and] There is only one military-run gun store in the country.”* Meanwhile, President Sheinbaum is bucking American pressure by continuing to send humanitarian aid to the tiny, embattled island nation of Cuba. AP reports that last week, “Two Mexican Navy ships laden with humanitarian aid docked in Cuba…two weeks after…President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs on countries that sell oil to the island.” These ships carried 800 tons worth of bundles of “Made in Mexico” goods, including rice, beans, amaranth and crackers — complemented by a bottle of oil, large cans of sardines and canned peaches. Another 1,500 tons of powdered milk and beans are expected to be sent to Cuba in the coming days. The U.S. has taken a more bellicose line with Cuba than it has in quite some time, even taking naval action in the waters surrounding the island, making Mexico's support that much more critical.* In another Cuba story, a diplomatic incident is unfolding this week regarding a Florida-registered speedboat. According to the island's government, the boat, carrying 10 passengers, entered Cuban territorial waters and opened fire on Cuban soldiers. The Cubans responded in kind, killing four people aboard the craft and wounding six others. According to the Cuban authorities, most of the passengers “have a known history of criminal and violent activity.” These include Amijail Sánchez González and Leordan Enrique Cruz Gómez, both wanted by Cuban authorities based on their involvement in “the promotion, planning, organization, financing, support or commission of…acts of terrorism.” The Cubans also claim to have arrested one Duniel Hernández Santos, who was supposedly “sent from the United States to guarantee the reception of the armed infiltration.” They claim Hernández Santos has confessed. American authorities have so far evinced confusion more than anything else, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying “We're going to figure out exactly what happened.” This from AP.* Whatever cloak and dagger games the administration may be playing in the Caribbean, they have been pointedly unsubtle about their saber rattling regarding Iran – and the reaction from Congress has been meager. While anti-war members in the House and Senate are pushing war powers resolutions, namely Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie along with Senator Tim Kaine, not even the nominal opposition party is supporting these efforts. According to Capital & Empire, Democrats are seeking to “dampen momentum” and even “prevent the Iran war powers vote from advancing.” Democrats Josh Gottheimer and Jared Moskowitz, both arch Iran hawks, have publicly stated they will not back the war powers resolution, and many others have sought to split the difference, saying Trump should only move on Iran after consulting with Congress. As the Hill notes, the Senate did pass a war powers resolution restricting the president's use of military force against Iran without congressional approval during Trump's first term, with eight Senate Republicans backing the Democrats in support of the bill. It is hard to imagine such a bipartisan show of force this time around.* In more disappointing congressional news, on Tuesday the House voted down the bipartisan ROTOR Act, which would have beefed up aviation safety standards, NPR reports. This bill was drafted in the wake of the deadly midair collision over Washington D.C. last year. This bill, principally authored by Senator Ted Cruz, who chairs the Senate Commerce Committee which oversees transportation, would have required wider use of Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast – safety technology designed to transmit an aircraft's location to other aircraft. The Senate unanimously passed the bill in December, with the support of the Defense Department – now styling itself the Department of War – but the Pentagon yanked its support just before the House vote, citing “unresolved budgetary burdens and operational security risks.” The final House vote was 264 in favor and 133 opposed, 132 Republicans and Democrat Lizzie Fletcher of Texas. Despite the lopsided majority in favor, the bill needed a two-thirds vote to pass and was therefore defeated by the minority.* In another aviation related story, FBI Director Kash Patel is embroiled in a new scandal based on his alleged misuse of the FBI's Gulfstream jets for personal travel. CNN reports Patel's frequent jetsetting has even caused delays or issues in high-profile investigations, such as the assassination of rightwing commentator Charlie Kirk and the Brown University shooting last December. According to a letter authored by Senator Dick Durbin, Patel's incessant misuse of the official FBI planes for personal travel “has even frustrated White House and DOJ senior staff.” This story hits particularly hard at the present moment, with images of Patel chugging beer in the locker room celebration of the Olympic men's hockey team going viral. The FBI then had to spend days running cover for Patel, claiming the director was in Italy for “long-planned official business,” which just happened to coincide with the occasion.* Our next two stories concern AI. First, a new Public Citizen report documents how the AI industry is deploying a veritable army of lobbyists on Capitol Hill, absolutely dwarfing not only their opposition, but practically every other industry as well. According to this report, more than one quarter of all federal lobbyists are now lobbying on AI issues, representing a rise in lobbyist activity on AI issues of more than 265 percent over the past three years. This report finds the Chamber of Commerce hired the most AI lobbyists in 2025 at 91, followed by Microsoft at 63, Meta at 55, Intuit at 51, and Amazon at 48. This meteoric rise in AI lobbying activity is sure to give the industry massive firepower in the halls of Congress, ensuring a favorable regulatory environment for years to come. This will be particularly critical for data centers, which have faced a rash of local opposition. Per this report, that particular subset of the AI lobbying industry has expanded by a staggering 500 percent since 2023.* For all its newfound political clout however, the AI business seems to have found itself a formidable new opponent – Pope Leo XIV. This week, Pope Leo addressed priests from the Diocese of Rome and implored them to resist “the temptation to prepare homilies with Artificial Intelligence.” The pontiff argued “Like all the muscles in the body, if we do not use them, if we do not move them, they die. The brain needs to be used, so our intelligence must also be exercised a little so as not to lose this capacity.” He added that “to give a true homily is to share faith,” and that AI “will never be able to share faith.” This from Vatican News.* Turning to media news, this week, Paramount submitted a new offer to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Paramount's new bid amounted to $31 per share and, following a period of consultation with the Warner board of directors, this offer was deemed “superior” to the proposed deal with rival bidder Netflix. This triggered a clause in the Netflix merger agreement giving the streamer four days to submit a new, superior offer. However, that same day Netflix issued a statement officially declining to submit a new, higher offer, with representatives writing “the price required to match Paramount Skydance's latest offer,” means “the deal is no longer financially attractive.” With Netflix out of the way, Paramount, led by Trump-aligned billionaire scion David Ellison, will now proceed with their acquisition of Warner Bros., including their prodigious intellectual property back catalogue and the cable news titan, CNN. A friendly relationship with the Trump administration means regulators are unlikely to hold up this deal. The Ellisons have already acquired CBS News, installing Bari Weiss as “editor-in-chief.” It seems likely they will follow a similar playbook regarding CNN.* Our final stories this week concern the continuing fallout of the Epstein scandal. This week saw the arrest of former British-U.S. ambassador Peter Mandelson, joining Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) in the collection of high profile British individuals arrested in connection with the Epstein scandal. Meanwhile, at Harvard, former University President Larry Summers will resign from his academic and faculty appointments, including his University Professorship, at the Ivy League school following the conclusion of this academic year. Until then, he will remain on leave, per the Crimson. Summers regularly exchanged messages with Jeffrey Epstein about topics ranging from women, to politics, to Harvard-related matters as late as July 2019, the day before Epstein's final arrest. But the most noteworthy Epstein-related news this week came from Chappaqua, New York. On Thursday and Friday, Bill and Hillary Clinton testified about their relationships with the late financier and sexual predator. After much wrangling, these potential blockbuster hearings were held behind closed doors on the Clintons' home turf. What exactly was said remains shrouded in mystery. According to the BBC, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer said he hopes to make videos of both Hillary and Bill Clinton's depositions publicly available soon. Robert Garcia, the Democratic Ranking Member on the committee, said a “new precedent” had been set by calling a former president to testify and demanded that Trump be called to testify before the committee next.

Kate Adie introduces stories on Mexico's cartel war, President Trump's State of the Union address, the Russian soldiers escaping the front-line, and a slow boat journey in Benin.Mexico was rocked by a violent rampage this week, after the drug lord, El Mencho, died following a fire-fight between his bodyguards and Mexican military commandos. It's stark evidence of the challenges facing President Claudia Sheinbaum as she vows to take on the country's criminal gangs. Quentin Sommerville reports on the fallout following El Mencho's death and the disturbingly deadly rivalry between the cartels.'Our country is winning again,' was President Donald Trump's rallying cry at his State of the Union address this week in Washington DC, citing success in the jobs market and stopping illegal crossings at the southern border. But his sinking approval ratings suggest he's not necessarily convincing the public. Anthony Zurcher watched on in the House Chamber.The exact toll on Russian forces in Ukraine has been closely guarded by the Kremlin, but estimates suggest more than a million Russian troops have been killed or injured over the past four years. For those who refuse to fight the consequences can be severe. Ben Steele met Russian troops who have escaped the front-line, at great personal cost.The small West African nation of Benin is made up of around fifty different ethnic groups and languages. Most of the population is concentrated in the South - home to the country's main cities, such as the port of Cotonou. While Benin has only a handful of highways, its lush inter-connected lagoons provide a vital commercial artery.

In today's episode, Tom and co-host Drew kick things off with a lightning-fast breakdown of a world in chaos—Mexico under siege by drug cartels following the death of El Mencho, Iran on the brink of nuclear capability, and political drama from New York to the Middle East. Tom dives into the explosive unfolding cartel violence in Mexico, dissects the U.S. military's covert involvement, and questions Claudia Sheinbaum's controversial stance on handling narco-terrorism. The conversation doesn't stop there—Drew and Tom trade perspectives on the complexities of combating cartels, the morality and practicalities of state-sponsored violence, and whether restraint or escalation is the right answer. They jump into global politics, analyzing Trump's hardline tactics in Iran, the game of power nations play, and the economic undercurrents shaping the future of the Middle East. Through sharp debate and humorous takes, the episode explores how religion, politics, and economics intersect—from Mike Huckabee's biblical views on Israel's land right, to the irony of needing more ID to shovel snow than to vote. This episode is jam-packed with deep dives, tough questions, and candid reflections on leadership, morality, and the real-world consequences of decisions made at the highest levels. Buckle up—it's an unfiltered look at today's most pressing global issues, and Tom and Drew are here to challenge assumptions, connect the dots, and keep you thinking long after the credits roll.

Violence erupted across Mexico after the killing of Mexico's most notorious drug cartel leader, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, on Sunday. Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” was the head of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación, an organization that trafficked drugs across multiple Mexican states and countries. The killing signaled an aggressive and unexpected approach from Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, to confronting organized crime. As the chaos settles and shelter in place restrictions lift, the relationship between Mexico's drug kingpins, the government and the rest of society remains unclear. We talk about what the killing means for Mexico and the United States and what could happen next. Guests: Javier Cabral, editor, L.A.
