Kim Ives, editor of the English section of Haiti Liberté, joins us to talk about the terrible tragedy that took place in Haiti this week, where at least 62 people have been killed and dozens injured after a tanker transporting gasoline exploded in Cap-Haitien, how fuel shortages played a role in this incident, with people lining up to collect fuel directly from the truck, and how precarity can lead people to take more risks to secure essential supplies. We also talk about new reports related to the assassination of President Jovenel Moise, and how he allegedly kept lists of prominent politicians and public figures that were connected to the drug trade and how this may have played a part in his killing. Maru Mora Villalpando, founder of La Resistencia, community organizer and immigrant activist, talks to us about the new proposal spearheaded by Vice President Kamala Harris, where she announced that corporations like Pepsi and Cargill will make multi-billion dollar investments in Central America to allegedly “solve” the root causes of immigration there. We talk about how this is neither a novel nor the right solution to the issue, since this further entrenches the cycle of labor exploitation for companies that have already been there and have either eroded or destroyed labor and environmental regulations that, in fact, may be one of the main drivers of immigration. Shane Stranahan, co-host of Faultines on Radio Sputnik, joins hosts Michelle Witte and Bob Schlehuber to talk about a new study published by Cornell University which argues that we may be at an actual “tipping point” where no issue imaginable can unite Republicans and Democrats again, with political polarization at an all-time high. We talk about the methodology used and how constraints on framing issues within a two-party system and our economic paradigm can reinforce current political deadlock and undermine potential avenues for cooperation. Bryan Weaver, founder and executive director of Hoops Sagrado, talks to us about Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors breaking records, Enes Kanter Freedom's political postures, and widespread sexual harassment in the Washington Football Team workplace.

England's Euro hopes have collapsed, in some ugliness it must be said, but what does Gareth Southgate's football run mean for the future of the beautiful game in this country? Michael Knighton is a Renaissance Man, but he is not an Italian. He rarely gives interviews, so chances are you won't have heard from him, but for 62 days, he was the chairman of Manchester United, and for three years after that, a club director. If he hadn't parted company with United, you'd never have heard of the Glazers, the American billionaires who now own the club. So, what happened to him after football? We invited him onto Sputnik to tell us more about football, art and… coal mining. Haiti, the first country in the world to overthrow slavery, has been sinking for many years. All the metrics of a failed state are present there. Rampant criminality, rigged elections, gang supremacy, foreign meddling, drug-trading, oligarchs, and, now, the assassination of their president. Who did what and why is still hazy, but here's what we know: a president past his mandate was murdered in his home in a commando operation involving at least 22 people, two of them Americans and the rest Colombians. The prime minister, who had already resigned, is now in charge of an island that's in a state of siege. Beyond that, few people know, so we turned to someone who does. Journalist, editor, and documentary maker Kim Ives is also an editor at Haiti Liberté. She came onto the show to explain just what is happening.

Darren Thompson, reporter for Native News Online and Unicorn Riot, updates us on the ongoing protests against the Enbridge Line 3 expansion in Minnesota, the tactics protesters are using and the results they're getting.

After years of corruption and neglect of the Haitian people, a popular revolt is demanding the current president's resignation. The US-led attempted coup in Venezuela played a role in sparking the protests as the Haitian government sided with the US in voting to recognize Juan Guaido, the fake president over President Maduro, the democratically-elected president. Haiti and Venezuela share a history of interconnected revolution and mutual aid since 1804. We interview Kim Ives, an editor of Haiti Liberté, who has been covering Haiti for decades, about the protests and the bigger picture of imperialism. We also report live from Tehran, Iran where we are on a peace delegation.
