Nuovo appuntamento con il sabato di «Giorno per giorno»: l'editorialista torna sugli argomenti di cui ha scritto durante la settimana nella sua rubrica «Il Caffè», integrandoli con i commenti nel frattempo ricevuti dai lettori.I link di corriere.it:Il sindaco di Reggio Emilia cita il 7 ottobre e la liberazione degli ostaggi come «condizione» per la pace all'evento per Francesca Albanese. Lei: «Lo perdono ma non lo dica più»Putin e Hamas i veri perdentiRimini, la 20enne e il matrimonio combinato: «Abusi perché restassi incinta, papà diceva "legatela al letto"». Così è scattata l'operazione Saman 2

This week Lara and Michael sit down with Jenin, the Palestine representative of CODEPINK to discuss Francesca Albanese's report "From economy of occupation to economy of genocide." We talk about how Airbnb and other corporations profit from the forced displacement of Palestinians. The company has over 300 listings in illegal settlements in the West Bank and we chat about the upcoming litigation against the company, as well as the campaigns spearheaded by CODEPINK to encourage people to boycott Airbnb. 

Come diceva quel tale: se vuoi capire chi muove veramente i fili delle decisioni: segui i soldi.È esattamente quello che ha fatto Francesca Albanese e per questo ora è sotto attacco da parte di stati Uniti e non solo.

The UN's Special Rapporteur on Palestine has told FRANCE 24 that France's recognition of a Palestinian state marks a real shift in European policy. Francesca Albanese points out that only a few European countries have now not recognised the state. However, she also said she is concerned that the recognition distracts attention "from what is needed" amid the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. Albanese adds that "we cannot use Hamas as an excuse to hijack the Palestinians' self-determination". She spoke to us in Perspective.

Omicidio politico o no? L'uccisione di Charlie Kirk sta scuotendo gli USA: i motivi sono ancora incerti, la destra lo santifica, la sinistra è divisa, ma quali schemi osserviamo se guardiamo tutto da un po' più lontano? Se una relatrice ONU può essere espulsa dal sistema finanziario globale, senza un processo, senza che abbia infranto la legge, cosa ci dice questo della libertà di pensiero? Intanto la Cina ha finito la spazzatura: i suoi inceneritori sono in overcapacity e questo ci pone una grossa domanda: stiamo costruendo impianti che domani non sapremo come nutrire?INDICE:00:00:00 - Sommario00:01:01 - L'invasione di Gaza City e le sanzioni a Francesca Albanese00:08:01 - L'uccisione di Charlie Kirk e i suoi effetti00:17:30 - Il calo dei rifiuti cinesi e il problema degli inceneritoriFonti: https://www.italiachecambia.org/podcast/invasione-gaza-city-sanzioni-francesca-albanese/Iscriviti alla newsletter: https://bit.ly/3ZcEw

Gaza sofreu novos ataques israelitas que causaram dezenas de mortos. Horas antes, Marco Rúbio reafirmou em Jerusalém o apoio dos EUA a Israel. Uma comissão da ONU acusou Israel de genocídio, rejeitado por Netanyahu. A diplomata portuguesa Ana Gomes denuncia “um governo de facínoras” em Israel, acusa Donald Trump de cumplicidade e critica a omissão da Europa: “Agora ninguém pode alegar não saber.” Na madrugada desta terça-feira, 16 de Setembro, Gaza voltou a ser palco de uma nova fase da ofensiva israelita. Tanques avançaram sobre o centro da cidade, bombardeamentos repetidos varreram bairros inteiros, pelo menos 38 mortos, segundo fontes palestinianas. Poucas horas antes, em Jerusalém, o secretário de Estado norte-americano Marco Rúbio reafirmava o apoio incondicional dos Estados Unidos a Israel na guerra contra o grupo islamita Hamas. Benjamin Netanyahu descreve uma “operação intensa”. O ministro da Defesa israelita prometeu que “não haverá recuo até a missão estar concluída”. Esta terça-feira, uma comissão de inquérito das Nações Unidas declarou que Israel está a cometer genocídio em Gaza. Os mais altos responsáveis do Estado israelita, incluindo o primeiro-ministro, foram acusados de incitar esses actos. Israel rejeitou de imediato: “escandaloso”. Para a diplomata e antiga eurodeputada, uma das vozes portuguesas mais críticas da ambiguidade internacional perante Gaza, Ana Gomes, não há lugar para dúvidas: “O ponto de não retorno está em Gaza e na Palestina. Está em Israel, num governo de facínoras, fascistas, que quer impedir a existência de um Estado palestiniano que recorre à limpeza étnica e ao genocídio”. Ana Gomes recorda que a própria Francesca Albanese, relatora da ONU para a Palestina, já em 2024 alertou para o genocídio em curso. “Há largos meses que a comunidade internacional vê nas imagens de Gaza aquilo que se está a passar: uma limpeza étnica, um genocídio. E vê-o em directo, com um grau de crueldade e de ostentação que não se viu nem durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, quando muitos alegaram não saber. Agora ninguém pode alegar não saber. É ainda pior para a consciência da humanidade. É a perda da humanidade por parte dos nossos governos”. A diplomata fala dos Estados Unidos como quem já não espera nada: “Com Donald Trump eu não esperava outra coisa senão aquilo que estamos a ver: o respaldo total a Israel. É uma administração controlada por Israel, até pelos lados que sabemos que Israel tem sobre Trump. Lados que passam pelas ligações com Epstein, que trabalhava para a Mossad. O que mais me choca, o que mais me indigna, é a inexistência da Europa. A União Europeia revela uma incapacidade gritante de tomar posição a tempo e horas. Alguns governos, individualmente, vão tentando salvar o mínimo dos mínimos. Mas o grosso da população palestiniana não está a ser salva. Está a ser sacrificada. E desta forma enterram-se os valores, os ideais e a credibilidade da União Europeia”.  Ana Gomes lembra que o direito internacional foi criado precisamente para dar uma moldura de regras aos mais fracos: “Sempre serviu, sobretudo, os fracos. Porque os fortes têm os meios de impor a sua vontade. Mas agora voltamos a um mundo sem regras, dominado pela lei do mais forte. É um retrocesso civilizacional. Foi para evitar isto que se construíram as Nações Unidas, o direito internacional, a própria União Europeia. Para defender valores e interesses com base em regras. É esse sistema que está a ser destruído pela administração Trump, que não é um aliado, mas um agente ao serviço de Putin e de Netanyahu. Estamos numa situação em que mais do que nunca precisaríamos de uma Europa forte. E não temos Europa. Porque a Europa se dá ao luxo de dizer que está dividida. Porque tolerou cavalos de Troia como o governo de Orbán desde 2007, e a partir daí a corrosão foi imparável”. As palavras não poupam. Quando ouve dizer que centenas de milhares de palestinianos saíram de Gaza, pergunta: “Saíram para onde? Para o Egipto? Para Israel? Não. As pessoas estão ali para ser mortas, dizimadas, terminadas. É a nossa consciência que está em causa. É o projecto europeu que está a ser destruído quando deixamos que uma potência nazi-fascista como o governo de Netanyahu continue a agir”. Sobre a visita de Marco Rúbio a Jerusalém, no compasso de horas com os bombardeamentos mais intensos, não hesita: “Não é coincidência nem encenação. É demonstração de sintonia total entre esse governo nazi-fascista de Israel e a administração de Trump. Não se trata apenas de interesses económicos, embora Trump fale sem pudor do objectivo de construir uma riviera turística em Gaza. Trata-se das dependências da administração norte-americana em relação a Moscovo e a Israel. Depende dessas chantagens, desses kompromat, fáceis para Putin e Netanyahu. É aqui que o caso Epstein ganha relevância. Porque ilustra os mecanismos de submissão”. A conclusão é clara para a antiga eurodeputada: “Há uma total subordinação da administração Trump aos ditames do governo nazi-fascista de Israel e ao governo nazi-fascista de Putin. Não penso que a União Europeia possa ser eficaz a defender a Ucrânia se não actua em Gaza. Se deixa fazer e é cúmplice do genocídio, como pode proteger outros? A cumplicidade corrói tudo”. A uma semana da Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas, Ana Gomes não espera que a diplomacia esteja à altura da realidade: “O debate diplomático não modela a realidade, corre atrás do prejuízo. Já tínhamos sinais quando a administração Trump recusou vistos a dirigentes palestinianos para se dirigirem à própria Assembleia Geral, em violação do acordo da sede da ONU. Isso foi uma ofensiva descarada. Não há paninhos quentes: a administração norte-americana é cúmplice, senão co-autora, do genocídio em curso. E todos os governos europeus que continuam a fornecer armas a Israel, designadamente a Alemanha, são igualmente cúmplices. Talvez num grau diferente, mas cúmplices”. E o futuro dos palestinianos de Gaza? A resposta não procura consolo, apenas constatação: “Tal como sobreviveram à Nakba, sobreviverão a esta. Duvido é que nós, as democracias europeias, sobrevivamos. Porque esta cumplicidade com o genocídio em curso em Gaza e na Palestina, por acção ou omissão, vai traduzir-se em terror nas nossas ruas. Estou a falar da Europa. Vamos ter gerações que nos vão cobrar, nas ruas, nas urnas, nas armas. E as nossas democracias sairão desacreditadas, destruídas, se as conseguirmos manter”, conclui.

In questo episodio in italiano di Voci che non tremano, Laura ci racconta gli ultimi sviluppi: la Global Sumud Flotilla di nuovo sotto attacco in Tunisia, il bombardamento israeliano in Qatar, Siria, Libano e Yemen, e l'ordine di evacuazione totale di Gaza City. Tra dichiarazioni di attivisti, voci istituzionali come Francesca Albanese, e poesie di Mahmoud Darwish, ci addentriamo nella guerra dei racconti, nelle responsabilità storiche e nella resistenza che continua: dal mare ai microfoni. Una puntata che, anche non essendo un esperta, intreccia cronaca, geopolitica e poesia.

Ralph welcomes Timothy Whitehouse, executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) to speak about how federal workers across all government agencies are being unfairly denigrated and summarily fired by the Trump Administration to clear the way for corporate corruption. Plus, we are joined by Toby Heaps, Editor-in-Chief of “Corporate Knights” magazine to talk about the benefits of the cooperative business model over the corporate shareholder model.Timothy Whitehouse is executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). Prior to joining PEER, he was a senior attorney at the Environmental Protection Agency and was head of the Law and Policy Program at the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation in Montreal.The time to stigmatize federal workers is over. It's time to start rallying for unions for federal workers and what they do, and to support the idea that government plays an important role and that government (the civil service) must be as non-political as possible. Our country will be much better for it.Timothy WhitehouseThat's a good way to describe it: supersonic. We knew things were going to be really bad, but they are much worse than bad because there's no check and no balance on this President's madness. And some of the people and institutions we had hoped would stand up a little bit are collapsing one by one.Timothy WhitehouseOur foreign enemies could not have devised a better way to grind our system to a halt, and that's what's happening.Timothy WhitehouseToby Heaps is the CEO and co-founder of Corporate Knights, and Editor-in-Chief of Corporate Knights magazine. He spearheaded the first global ranking of the world's 100 most sustainable corporations in 2005, and in 2007 coined the term “clean capitalism.” Toby has been published in the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and the Globe and Mail, and is a regular guest speaker on CBC.I think in the co-op movement, the biggest bugaboo holding it back (in North America, that is) is people's perception that it's not a significant force. And it is already a significant force. In many cases, we're not familiar that the company might be a co-op (such as Associated Press or Ocean Spray) but in the United States alone, the turnover of co-op enterprises sales in 2023 was $324 billion US. And so, it's a significant part of the economy already.Toby HeapsI can't underline enough that if you care about a sustainable economy that works for people and planet, that the operating model is not just the clean economy (the environmentally friendly economy), it's the cooperatively-run economy.Toby HeapsThe principal obstacle to co-ops is the inadequate engagement of consumers to know about the huge benefits— to control the local economy from multinational corporations (absentee), who are pulling strings in ways that are very damaging, and basically to assume the purchasing power of the consumer.Ralph NaderNews 9/12/2025* Several major stories surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case have emerged in the past week. First, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released a note written by President Trump to Epstein included in the latter's “birthday book” from 2003. In this note, Trump refers to Epstein as his “pal” and writes “May every day be another wonderful secret," according to Reuters. Trump has denied that this letter even existed, going so far as to sue the Wall Street Journal for defamation over their reporting in July. Trump continues to deny that he wrote the letter, though his signature is a perfect match, and he has sought to tamp down the matter, calling it a “dead issue,” per NBC.* In Congress, Republican allies of Donald Trump are seeking to quash the Epstein issue as well. On Tuesday, Republicans on the House Rules Committee “shot down a bid to put the Epstein Files Transparency Act—which would compel the Justice Department to release all unclassified records related to Jeffrey Epstein—to a floor vote,” in an 8–4 party-line vote, the New Republic reports. However, despite this setback, dissident Republican Thomas Massie continues to press the issue. Speaking about the birthday note, Massie said “It's…indicative of the things that might come out if we were to release all of the files…embarrassing, but not indictable. And I don't think avoiding embarrassment is a reason to avoid justice,” per CNN. Massie added in an interview on ABC that "I think it's going to be embarrassing to some of the billionaires, some of the donors who are politically connected to [Trump's] campaign. There are probably intelligence ties to our CIA and maybe to other foreign intelligence." Democrat Ro Khanna insisted in this same interview that he and his allies, including Massie, will be able to pull together a House majority of 218 members to force a vote on releasing the files.* Our final Epstein story for the week concerns James O'Keefe. Former leader of Project Veritas, O'Keefe continues to carry out far-right hidden-camera sting operations. In a rare move targeting conservatives, O'Keefe engineered a date between Joseph Schnitt, a deputy chief of staff at the Office of Enforcement Operations at DOJ, and an operative in his employ wherein Schnitt admitted that the Trump administration will “redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, [and] leave all the liberal, Democratic people.” In this video, Schnitt also implies that Epstein's lieutenant, Ghislaine Maxwell was relocated to a lower security prison to “keep her mouth shut,” as part of a deal with the government. This according to the Hill. One should certainly take revelations from O'Keefe with a heavy dose of salt, but these troubling comments should also raise suspicions about the government's possible plans to manipulate information related to this case for political ends.* Aside from the Epstein affair, the Trump administration continues to issue destructive policy directives in all directions. AP reports the federal Department of Transportation has scrapped a Biden-era rule that required airlines to “compensate stranded passengers with cash, lodging and meals for flight cancellations or changes caused by a carrier.” This rule, which sought “compensation starting at $200…[and] as high as $775…for delays of nine hours or more,” was consistent with European aviation consumer protections. Unsurprisingly, airlines – represented by lobbyists in the employ of the industry trade group Airlines for America – bitterly resisted the rule and celebrated the administration's abandonment of this basic consumer protection. The Biden Transportation Department had also been weighing rules that would have required airlines to provide, “free rebooking on the next available flight, including flights on rival airlines, as well as meals and lodging when passengers are stranded overnight.”* At the same time, the Trump administration's Federal Trade Commission is abandoning its rules banning noncompete clauses for employees. An eye-popping 1 in 5 workers are bound by noncompetes, approximately 30 million Americans, and experts estimated that banning such clauses could boost wages to the tune of nearly $300 billion per year and help create 8,500 new businesses, per NPR. The FTC voted 3-1 to vacate its defense of the rule, with Chair Andrew Ferguson and Melissa Holyoak, both Republicans, issuing a joint statement. Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, the lone remaining Democrat on the commission after Trump purged the FTC earlier this year, voted no.* Turning to foreign affairs, the Guardian reports two ships in the Gaza aid flotilla have been struck by drone attacks while docked in Tunisia. The first struck the Family Boat, which carries activist Greta Thunberg, though she was not on board at the time. The second struck the Alma, a ship bearing British flags while docked in the port of Sidi Bou Said. In a video, one can see, “a luminous object hitting the boat and fire erupting on board.” Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, is quoted saying, ‘‘Authoritative sources suggest the attack involved an incendiary grenade, wrapped in plastic materials soaked in fuel, which may have ignited before even hitting the vessel.” These attacks come amidst a renewed Israeli bombing campaign against its neighbors, including bombing the Qatari capital of Doha and the Yemeni capital Sanaa. Trump says he is “very unhappy” about the strikes; Israel's ambassador to the United States however says the world will “get over it.” This from Al Jazeera.* Meanwhile, Drop Site is out with yet another bombshell report, this time on Israel's propaganda push to cover up the scale of the hunger crisis in Gaza. According to this report, the Netanyahu government signed a previously unreported $45 million deal with Google to push false propaganda through the massive platform. One video, viewed more than 6 million times, asserts “There is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie.” Israel also reportedly paid $3 million for an ad campaign on X, formerly Twitter, and another $2 million on a French platform called Outbrain. This report also cites other examples of Israeli propaganda campaigns in recent years, including against UNRWA and regarding the illegal strikes in Iran.* In more positive news, the pro-Palestine campaign in Hollywood continues to grow. This week, Variety reports a group of over 3,900 filmmakers, actors and other industry professionals signed a new pledge to boycott working with “Israeli film institutions and companies that are ‘implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.'” This group includes many household names, such as Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix, Jonathan Glazer, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, Emma Stone, Boots Riley, Ayo Edebiri, and many, many more. The list continues to grow as this pledge circulates. According to the Hollywood Reporter, this campaign is led by Film Workers for Palestine, which explicitly modeled their strategy after Filmmakers United Against Apartheid. That group, founded by eminent filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, demanded that the film industry refuse distribution in apartheid South Africa.* Beyond Israel/Palestine, events are rocking Nepal, the small Himalayan nation that lies between India and China. The BBC reports “Fierce protests against corruption and nepotism spiralled into arson and violence on Tuesday. The prime minister resigned as politicians' homes were vandalised, government buildings torched and parliament set ablaze. Twenty-nine people have died since Monday.” The "Gen Z" youth groups leading the protests have distanced themselves from these acts of destruction, claiming their movement was "hijacked" by "opportunists". Nepal's military has been deployed in the capital of Kathmandu in an attempt to restore order and enforce a curfew. The government of Nepal, led by now-ousted Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli, sought to cultivate a closer relationship with China to offset Nepal's historical dependence on India. For the time being, China seems to be taking a wait and see approach to the situation in Nepal, with foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian calling for all parties to “properly handle domestic issues and restore social order and national stability as soon as possible,” per the South China Morning Post.* Finally, Democracy Now! reports that in an apparent fit of retaliation, the Trump administration is now threatening to redeport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the American green card holder recently returned from his wrongful deportation to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison. This time, instead of sending him to El Salvador, the government plans to send Garcia to the tiny African kingdom of Eswatini, formerly Swaziland. Garcia had previously expressed fear of being deported to Uganda. This move would surely be punitive, capricious and just plain bizarre, but that is hardly a deviation from the course of the Trump administration. We express solidarity with Garcia, who stands practically alone against the juggernaut of the United States' deportation apparatus.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

I denne episode af Sange om Merværdi snakker værterne Lasse Skou Lindstad og Alex Arash Sand Alsing Kalaee om to rapporter, der berører fortidens og nutidens imperialisme. Først kigger de på Thomas Piketty og Gastón Nievas working paper “Unequal exchange and north-south relations: Evidence from global trade flows and the world balance of payments 1800-2025”, der viser hvordan det globale nord har udbyttet og begrænset udviklingsmulighederne for det globale syd. Herefter vender de blikket mod imperialismen nuværende form med en rapport om det vestligt-støttede folkedrab i Gaza. Francesca Albanese, der er FN's menneskerettighedsrapportør i Israel/Palæstina, har skrevet ”From economy of occupation to economy of genocide”, der dokumenterer hvordan dele af erhvervslivet understøtter og tjener penge på folkemord. Hun nævner bl.a. at danske Mærsk spiller en afgørende rolle i at foretage våbentransport fra USA til Israel, og hun opfordre til omgående sanktioner mod Israel samt retsforfølgelse af erhvervsledere og virksomheder for brud på menneskerettighederne.

Alberto Gonçalves comenta as declarações de Francesca Albanese, relatora da ONU para os "territórios palestinianos ocupados".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Recently, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio imposed sanctions on the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, saying, “The United States has repeatedly condemned and objected to biased and malicious activities of Albanese that have long made her unfit for service as a Special Rapporteur.”  Today we are joined by three of Albanese's predecessors—John Dugard, Richard Falk, and Michael Lynk, who talk about what these sanctions mean. They trace the United States' and Israel's longstanding attacks on not only Special Rapporteurs on Palestine, but the very claims to Palestinian rights. This latest instance is a particularly egregious attack on the UN and international law. We end with a plea to the international community to come to the aid of the Palestinian people, who are suffering famine, disease, and warfare of immense proportions.John Dugard SC, Emeritus Professor of Law, Universities of the Witwatersrand and Leiden; Member of Institut de Droit International; ; Director of Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, Cambridge (1995-1997); Judge ad hoc  International Court of Justice (2000-2018); Member of UN International Law Commission (1997 -2011); UN Special Rapporteur on Situation of Human Rights in Occupied Palestinian Territory (2001-2008); Legal Counsel, South Africa v Israel (Genocide Convention).Richard Falk is Albert G.

Since 2002 has been a Research Fellow at the Orfalea Center of Global and International Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Between 2008 and 2014 he served as UN Special Rapporteur on Israeli Violations of Human Rights in Occupied Palestine.Falk has advocated and written widely about ‘nations' that are captive within existing states, including Palestine, Kashmir, Western Sahara, Catalonia, Dombas.Falk has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize several times since 2008.Michael Lynk was a member of the Faculty of Law, Western University, London, Ontario, Canada between 1999 and his retirement in 2022. He taught courses in labour, human rights, disability, constitutional and administrative law. He served as Associate Dean of the Faculty between 2008-11. He became Professor Emeritus in 2023.In March 2016, the United Nations Human Rights Council unanimously selected Professor Lynk for a six-year term as the 7th Special Rapporteur for the human rights situation in the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967. He completed his term in April 2022.He has written about his UN experiences in a 2022 book co-authored with Richard Falk and John Dugard, two of his predecessors as UN special rapporteurs: Protecting Human Rights in Occupied Palestine: Working Through the United Nations (Clarity Press).Professor Lynk's academic scholarship and his United Nations reports have been cited by the Supreme Court of Canada, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and the United Nations General Assembly.  

Roger Waters and Ralph Nader speak at World Beyond War's 2025 War Abolisher Awards joined by Bob Fantina, David Swanson, Ed Horgan and Hanieh Jodat speaking about Francesca Albanese

This week on The Big Picture Podcast we're joined by celebrated photographer and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Misan Harriman.Harriman has built a global following through his moving black and white photography of the world's most recognisable faces, becoming the first ever Black photographer to shoot the cover of Vogue.Since then, he made his directorial debut with the emotional short film ruminating on grief, The After, which was nominated for an Academy Award in 2024.His new documentary, Shoot The People, chronicles his own story as he travels the world drawing inspiration from the Anti-Apartheid movement in South Africa, Black Lives Matter in the US and the Gaza ceasefire movement here in the UK.But what makes Harriman stand out is what he chooses to turn his lens, and his platform, towards. Since October 7, he's been a staple of pro-Palestine rallies, searching through the crowds for individual protesters with a message that resonates with him, and showing that to the world. Before that he covered the Black Lives Matter movement, framing ordinary people in extraordinary ways, giving them the same intimate and dramatic treatment he gives to the world's rich and famous.And through his lens, he sends a message.We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, and any guests you'd like us to have on our show.

This week Lara and Michael cover Israel's forced starvation of the Palestinian people in Gaza, which has reached Stage 5 for many people in the Gaza Strip, the US sanctions levied against United Nations Special Rapporteur on the oPt, Francesca Albanese, and the odd resignation of all members of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the oPt in the days that followed.

Following the release of her groundbreaking report “From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide”, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, joins us on the Let's Talk Palestine Podcast to unpack its findings.In this episode we explore how international corporate entities have deepened their complicity in Israeli crimes, the extent to which Israel relies on these companies to carry out its genocide, and whether international law offers a comprehensive pathway to accountability and ultimately, justice.This episode is available on YouTube with video for the first time ever!

As hundreds of thousands of people face starvation in Gaza, this week the foreign secretary, David Lammy, joined a chorus of global condemnation over Israel's actions, describing the killing of innocent civilians seeking food and water as grotesque. But when will his words be followed by action? John Harris speaks to the UN's special rapporteur on Palestine, Francesca Albanese. Plus, will the Tory reshuffle do anything to take the wind out of Nigel Farage's sails? The Guardian's senior political correspondent, Peter Walker, joins John to discuss.

Jimmy criticizes the Trump administration and Senator Marco Rubio for imposing sanctions on Francesca Albanese, a UN official who reported corporate profiteering from Israel's actions in Gaza.  He and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that instead of holding war criminals like Benjamin Netanyahu accountable, the U.S. targets whistleblowers who expose human rights violations, highlighting the hypocrisy of lifting sanctions on known terrorists while punishing those who defend international law.

This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, France 24, NHK Japan, and Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr250718.mp3 (29:00) From GERMANY- The death toll in Gaza as presented by the Hamas Ministry of Health is often reported with disclaimers in the western media suggesting they are exaggerated. Recent research from the University of London, led by Professor Michael Spagat, says the Hamas figures are short by 40%, meaning that the current death toll of Gazans is 100,000, or 4% of the entire population. Britain and France have agreed to coordinate their nuclear weapons without US involvement. This pact, known as the Northwood Declaration, is discussed by Scottish Professor Phillips O'Brien- he describes the pact as a decoupling from the US without saying it. From FRANCE- First a press review about the announcement by French President Macron that to be free we must be feared and a large increase in military spending. A press review on the 30th anniversary of the massacre of 8000 muslim men and boys in Srebrenica by Serbian forces during the Bosnian war. International comments after Israel dropped nearly 500 bombs on Syria, including Damascus, as punishment for battling with Druze forces who are Israeli allies. From JAPAN- Japanese electronics firm Panasonic opened a $4 billion plant in Kansas building batteries for electric vehicles. Australian PM Anthony Albanese met with Chinese President Xi during a 6 day visit to the country- they agreed to treat each other equally, though they critiqued each others large military exercises. A new law banning children under 16 from using social media in Australia comes into effect in December. From CUBA- 30 countries are meeting at a summit in Colombia to find a way to stop the war on Gaza- the collection of countries is called the Hague Group and were addressed by Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for Occupied Palestine. A new Freedom Flotilla has left Italy to try to bring aid to Palestine- the crew includes a trade unionist from the US and several Parliamentarians.

The New York Times finally admitted Israel is carrying out a genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza, in an article by an Israeli scholar who studies the Holocaust. A United Nations report detailed how US corporations are profiting from these crimes, although the Trump administration responded by imposing sanctions on the UN expert who exposed it, Francesca Albanese. Ben Norton explains.

Israel's bloodbath in Gaza continues amid raids in occupied West Bank "Israel has killed over 50 Palestinians across besieged Gaza on Tuesday. The attacks took place in Rafah, Gaza City, Jabalia and Khan Younis. In occupied West Bank Israeli forces abducted at least 35 Palestinians, including children and former prisoners, in a series of overnight raids. The arrests took place in the cities of Nablus, Salfit, Qalqilya, Jenin, Tulkarem, Alkhalil, and Bethlehem, according to a joint statement from the Commission of Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner Society," "UN Rapporteur urges global action against Israel to stop Gaza genocide " "The United Nations' special rapporteur for besieged Gaza and the occupied West Bank has said that it's time for nations around the world to take concrete actions to stop the ""genocide"" in the blockaded enclave. Francesca Albanese spoke to delegates from 30 countries meeting in Colombia to discuss the Israeli genocide in Gaza and ways that nations can try to stop Israel's carnage. Albanese said the Israeli economy is structured to sustain the occupation that has now turned genocidal." "US court blocks move to end protected status for Afghans " "A US federal appeals court has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from ending temporary protected status (TPS) for thousands of Afghan nationals living in the country. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an emergency stay on the termination order on Monday, which was set to take effect July 15. More than 82,000 Afghans were evacuated to the US following the Taliban's takeover in 2021 after the US' chaotic withdrawal. " US launches probe into Brazil's trade practices "The United States has launched an investigation into Brazil's trade practices, escalating tensions between the two countries and potentially laying the groundwork for punitive tariffs on South America's largest economy. The probe, announced by the Office of the US Trade Representative will assess whether Brazil's policies are ""unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict US commerce.""" July 15 defeated coup attempt a ‘critical turning point' in Türkiye's history: Erdogan " Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said the defeated July 15 coup attempt in 2016 marked one of the most critical turning points in Türkiye's history, Speaking at the commemoration ceremony for July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day at parliament in Ankara Erdogan said the coup attempt was a tough test that the state and the nation overcame with pride. Erdogan expressed gratitude to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives, the veterans who defended the nation, the citizens who filled the streets to resist the coup attempt, and the millions abroad who supported Türkiye during that critical night."

Earlier this month, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, submitted a report to the UN Human Rights Council entitled ‘From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide'. The report names companies who have financially supported or sustained Israel's ongoing war and genocide against Palestinians, and highlights pathways to accountability that “transcend legal and diplomatic rhetoric”. She calls on civil society to respond to the actions of Israel in light of the limited power of the United Nations to effectively end the violence.  The United States has since imposed sanctions on Albanese, calling for her removal for allegations they say are “false and offensive”. Exploring more in depth the potential impact of this Economy of Genocide report, as well as the obligation and power of the United Nations as a whole, and the New Zealand government to respond to the situation, Producer Sara spoke with University of Otago Professor for Politics & International Relations Robert Patman, as well as Amnesty International Aotearoa community manager Margaret Taylor. Patman has published two pieces recently, criticising the New Zealand government's failure to adequately respond to the US' role in particular in the violence in Gaza.

Just two days after we sat down with Francesca Albanese, the Trump Administration placed her under sanctions.They accuse the UN Special Rapporteur of waging “economic warfare” on the United States. She says the sanctions are “mafia style intimidation techniques” and vows to continue her work to remind states of their obligations to “stop and punish genocide. And those who profit from it.”So why has the US taken such a drastic move? That has a lot to do with a scathing report Albanese just published, titled the “economy of genocide”.In it, she accuses more than 60 corporations of “sustaining and profiting off of Israeli occupation, apartheid and genocide.”Some of these companies include Google, Amazon, Hyundai Booking.com and the bank Barclays.This week on the Big Picture Podcast, we sit down with Francesca Albanese to talk about what her explosive report exposes about the world's richest companies, and how the rest of us are implicated in a system that exploits the pain of Palestinians for the sake of profit.We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, and any guests you'd like us to have on our show.

Harvey and Jim share clips from important people on the national and international scene that you will never hear on the mainstream media. We start with an update and audio from the protests that ended the VFP-40 day fast to demand an end to genocide. We hear from co-organizer Phil Tottenham and Joy Metzger. We then turn to voices who are educating us on the issues of the day and thus pleading with us to take action. They also provide an opportunity to dream of better days. The voices include Clare Daly, Francesca Albanese, Zehra Imam, and Yanis Varoufakis.

The UN's special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, has accused dozens of companies of being complicit in war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank in a UN report. They include arms producers, manufacturers whose vehicles are used to demolish homes, technology companies and banks. Israel rejects the charge of genocide and has called the report groundless, defamatory and a flagrant abuse of office. We'll hear from the report's author Francesca Albanese. Also on the programme: President Trump's huge tax and spending bill is heading for a final vote in the US House of Representatives - we'll have the latest from Washington; and astronomers have discovered only the third known object to enter our solar system from interstellar space.

Tune in for another episode of Give The People What They Want! with Zoe Alexandra, Indian journalist Prasanth R and Roger McKenzie, international editor of Morning Star, as they discuss Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful' bill, Francesca Albanese's UN report on what economic powers and corporations are behind the Genocide in gaza, trafficking of Ghanaians to Nigeria, the intensification of the blockade on Cuba as well as the repression of demonstrations marking one year of the protests against the Finance Bill in Kenya.

We speak with the UN expert about efforts to stop the genocide, the “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” and activist convoys trying to reach Gaza. It was also one of the costliest weeks for the Israeli army.
