Topics covered between 00:02:10 and 00:34:14Trump's Golden Handshake: In a plot straight out of a spy novel, Donald Trump receives a golden pager from Netanyahu, shrouded in mystery and conspiracy. Is it a symbol of espionage or a harbinger of violence? This gesture has not only ignited historical tensions but also fueled wild theories about secret pacts or ominous threats, painting a picture of a relationship steeped in intrigue.Gaza Land Grab or Humanitarian Disaster? Trump's vision for Gaza morphs into a real estate venture, stirring accusations of modern-day ethnic cleansing. Critics decry it as a strategic move for Israel under the facade of development, igniting debates on human rights, international law, and the ethics of power. Within MAGA, the plan splits opinion, revealing fractures in the "America First" doctrine.Topics covered between 00:35:58 and 01:04:51AI Industry on the Brink: Trump's tariff policies threaten to dismantle America's AI industry, with giants like Nvidia facing potential collapse.

Support us: https://www.palestinedeepdive.com/support Dr Mustafa Barghouti describes the situation in Gaza as the “worst ever made-made humanitarian disaster”. He exposes the systematic and deliberate healthcare catastrophe inflicted by Israel on Gaza with diseases spreading, wide-spread starvation, lack of clean water, shelter and sanitation amid Israel's ongoing bombardment and devastation. He lays the blame at the ongoing impunity granted to Israel by the international community and demands a seismic shift in state policy, calling for immediate and harsh sanctions on Israel by all states. Dr Barghouti calls for Palestinian healthcare workers and journalists alike to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their services to humanity. Dr Mustafa Barghouti is a Palestinian physician, activist, and politician who serves as General Secretary of the Palestinian National Initiative and the President of the Palestinian Medical Relief Society. Ahmed Alnaouq is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza and co-founder of We Are Not Numbers.

The Gaza War: A Humanitarian Disaster with Mohammed Ghalayini (Gazan scientist, Amplify Gaza Stories) Part of our Peace with Justice – how to get there conference on 6 June 2024 at Bush House, London.
After the Islamic State was largely defeated on the battlefields of northern Syria in 2019, thousands of fighters and their families were placed in detention facilities in the region. By far the largest of these detention camps is Al Hol, which at its peak held over 70,000 people from several dozen countries. Today, over 50,000 people live in Al Hol, which is essentially an open-air prison. The vast majority of people living there are children. My guest today, Sarhang Hamaseed, is the director of Middle East Programs at the United States Institute of Peace and is intimately involved with efforts to help repatriate families currently stranded in this prison camp. When we caught up, he had recently returned from Iraq, working on programs to support the reintegration of Iraqi families in Al Hol. In our conversation, Sarhang Hamaseed explains why this festering prison camp in northern Syria is both a humanitarian and security crisis that deserves broader international attention.

The third book, "Dead in Their Tracks" by John Annerino, sheds light on the human cost of crossing the desert borderlands. Lastly, "Chasing Centuries" by Ron Parker uncovers ancient agave cultivars and their significance in Native American cultures. Tune in to discover a new perspective on the desert.

In this episode of the Patrick Henningsen Show on TNT Radio which aired on October 11, 2023, Patrick talks with independent French researcher and journalist Freddie Ponton, about the unprecedented targeting of civilian areas by the Israeli occupation forces as they continue to bomb residential areas in the world's most densely populated city of 2.5 million residents effectively trapped in what many regard as ‘the world's largest open-air prison'. Freddie also reveals how Israeli bombs have killed UN medical aid workers in Gaza this week. Will the fighting spread to the Lebanon and Syrian border regions? All this and more.

No food, water or electricity, under air attack and waiting for a ground invasion - the terrifying situation facing Gaza right now as Israel responds to the Hamas terror attacks.
From the jungles of Cambodia during the final days of the Khmer Rouge in 1979 to the chaos of Baghdad in 2016, Combat Civilian is the powerful story of the response to human catastrophe over four decades. Turning his back on the convention of a comfortable career in a family business, Gilbert Greenall has quietly dedicated the last four decades of his life to helping others through forty humanitarian aid missions and the delivery of British emergency assistance in eighteen conflicts. He charts the changes in humanitarian assistance, revealing contradictions and triumphs, from the uncoordinated activities of a few small charities to the multi-billion dollar operations of today. The book guides the reader through wars, famines, earthquakes, floods and volcanic eruptions, yet there is time for humorous observations of misadventure and the absurdity of some decision making. Greenall describes how it feels to race down the Mostar road under fire in Bosnia and the difficulties of changing a wheel on a Boeing 727 in the midst of a battle in the Angolan highlands, as he risks his life for the goal of humanitarian assistance. Combat Civilian is a fast moving narrative, an emotional journey and a true-to-life description of the military risks and political constraints demanded by international relief work.

The relentless rain of the long weekend has left death and destruction in its wake. The Western Cape Provincial Manager of the South African Red Cross, Fernel Campher, tells BizNews about the “devastating impact of the floods” on human lives. He says some residents ended up in “waist-deep waters where they used to live”, while “the first thing a lot of people did was “grab the families and run out of the houses”. Others have been left with “no access to their families or way through to get home”. The Red Cross is fully deployed in the province - and has been busy providing hot blankets and hot meals to those in urgent need of aid, but appeals for donations of non-perishable items, clothing, blankets, drinkable water, vanity packs and baby packs as more victims are coming forward for aid. Campher warns the road to recovery is going to be a long one, but says the Red Cross will be providing psychological counselling to those left in shock by the impact of the disaster. - Chris Steyn
Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) face significant challenges to their health and well-being that are unique due to lack of necessary resources including food, water, sanitation, shelter, security, and healthcare. Caring for people in these situations requires an understanding of their unique needs as well as having realistic goals regarding what can and cannot be done for them. Our experiences in providing healthcare for the victims of disasters in Congo, Indonesia, Pakistan, Myramar, Afghanistan, Honduras, Nepal, Kurdistan, and Turkey – both natural and manmade – highlight the need to be well prepared when serving in these difficult situations. We are called to serve “the least of these,” and the victims of disasters and crises certainly qualify. Often these events, though causing much hardship and suffering, create the possibility for doors and hearts to be open to the message of Jesus that otherwise would be closed. We must be both willing and well prepared if we are to serve well when we are called to respond to those in need.

Dr. Amna Buttar, Dr. Geet Chainani and Director of Humanitarian Affairs, Sabyn Zaidi, will be going to Pakistan at the end of September to perform emergency disaster relief work. The most emergent needs are tents, food kits, clean water, medical care, mosquito nets. Severe rains and flooding have killed at least 1,300 people, including 348 children since mid-June, officials said on Sunday. At least 50 million people have been affected by the disaster, Pakistan's Minister for Climate Change Sherry Rehman said on Thursday. She called the floods "unprecedented" and "the worst humanitarian disaster of this decade." The southern province of Sindh, which has been badly hit by the flooding, has asked for 1 million tents, while nearby Balochistan province -- largely cut off from electricity, gas and the internet -- has requested 100,000 tents, Rehman said. "Pakistan's priority, at the moment, is this climate-induced humanitarian disaster of epic proportions," Rehman said, urging the international community to provide aid given Pakistan's "limited" resources. - CNN Donate here: https://givebutter.com/pl45rf

In 2002, a government-owned Senegalese ferry named the Joola capsized in a storm off the coast of The Gambia in a tragedy that killed 1,863 people and left 64 survivors, only one of them female. The Joola caused more human suffering than the Titanic yet no scholarly research to date has explored the political and environmental conditions in which this African crisis occurred. Africa's Joola Shipwreck: Causes and Consequences of a Humanitarian Disaster (Lexington Books, 2020) investigates the roots of the Joola shipwreck and its consequences for Senegalese people, particularly those living in the rural south. Using three summers of field research in Senegal, Karen Samantha Barton unravels the geographical forces such as migration, colonial cartographies, and geographies of the sea that led to this humanitarian disaster and defined its aftermath. Barton shows how the Sufi tenet of "beautiful optimism" shaped community resilience in the wake of the shipwreck, despite the repercussions the event had on Senegalese society and space.

This month, Iranian-backed Houthi fighters in Yemen have launched drone and ballistic missile attacks against the city of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. The events mark a clear escalation and expansion of violence related to the civil war in Yemen. Efforts at finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict, which has raged for years but has been largely been overlooked by the international press, have been unsuccessful so far. Jack Kennedy, a senior analyst at IHS Markit, discusses the motivation behind the latest attack, the ongoing efforts to end the civil war, and why it's important the world pays more attention to this humanitarian disaster.

The World Food Program warns Ethiopia is on the edge of a humanitarian disaster as escalating fighting in the north is preventing the delivery of needed food from reaching millions of people in battle-scarred Tigray province. World Food Program spokesman Tomson Phiri says his agency's humanitarian operation in northern Ethiopia is about to grind to a halt. He says intense fighting in the region is blocking the passage of fuel and food. Phiri says stocks of nutritionally fortified food for the treatment of malnourished children and women are now exhausted, and the last of WFP's cereals, pulses and oil will be distributed next week. The World Food Program says 9.4 million people in northern Ethiopia now require humanitarian food aid, an increase of 2.7 million from just four months ago.

The Punch Out with Eugene Puryear - Your Daily Socialist News Hit
On Today's Episode of the Punch Out:Dems Sneaky Tax Cut for the Rich, Yemen's Humanitarian Disaster, States Slow COVID Reporting.
The twin suicide attacks in Kabul in the early hours of Friday, 27 August, have been as the deadliest day for US troops in Afghanistan in more than a decade.The bombings claimed the lives of at least 95 Afghan civilians, 13 US troops and injured dozens more. The first attack was reported at Abbey Gate, which is one of the entrances to the Kabul airport and the other at Baron Hotel, which has served as a bunker for evacuees, diplomats and civilians before they head to the airport for boarding the evacuation flights. The attack was claimed by the ISIL offshoot in Afghanistan, known as ISIS-K which reportedly singled out supporters and affiliates of the US Army. The group has been blamed for some of the worst attacks in the country since its formation in 2015. However, ISIS-K is not only a threat to the population of Afghanistan but also to the Taliban, who they have reportedly accused of abandoning principles of Jihad and favouring a peace settlement. These bombings in Kabul now pose a series of pressing questions on future of Afghanistan and its repercussions on the Biden administration: What precedent do the recent attacks set for Biden? How will the Taliban vs ISIS-K rivalry play out with the US out of the picture, and more importantly , what kind of future is Afghanistan headed towards? To answer these questions, for today's episode, we spoke with Ajay Sahni, the Executive Director at the Institute for Conflict Management and South Asia Terrorism Portal.

Kabul is seeing spurts of new defiance against the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan, with protests erupting across the country on Thursday, 19 August, when the country celebrated its 'Independence Day'. Videos and images from Kabul showed men and women waving the red, green, and black of Afghanistan and chanting “our flag, our pride”, and “God is great.” Though the Taliban have stated that it has moderated its stance but on Thursday, with open gunfire aimed at the protesters on the streets, shooting near the airport, and a confirmation that Sharia will return, the gap between their words and the ground reality was revealed. In fact, throughout this week, the world witnessed reports of Taliban fighters brutally beating up Afghanis, assaulting foreign journalists, and preventing people from travelling to the airport. With mounting fears of what kind of government the Taliban will establish in the days to come, there are also concerns regarding an economic downturn with the US freezing Afghanistan's foreign reserves and the IMF cutting off access to loans and resources. The harrowing developments over the past week beg the following questions: Where is Afghanistan headed and what is the ground reality outside Kabul where the eyes of international media don't reach? To understand this, we spoke with Frud Bezhan, an Afghan journalist with Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty who has extensively covered Afghanistan and the Taliban insurgency.

The Taliban's takeover of in Afghanistan is likely to shift the geopolitical script of the world, with its immediate implications falling on its immediate neighbours India, China and Pakistan. Pakistan has been long been accused of arming, training and giving shelter to the Taliban and Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan this week said that the Taliban have “broken the shackles of slavery”, which has both raised eyebrows and may also be interpreted as the countries support to them. While China has publicly stated that it is willing to develop “friendly relations” with the Taliban, India, on the other hand, which has poured billions in trade in Afghanistan for, welfare and economic schemes, has remained mum on the entire issue. The only clear response came on 19 August when External Affairs Minister Jaishankar stated that India's approach towards Afghanistan will be “guided by its relationship with the Afghan people.” Experts have pointed out that India has placed itself in a tight spot since it has not engaged with the group in the past and has largely condoned it. And with China and Pakistan—with whom India has unsolved border tensions—willing to engage with the Taliban, how will it impact India's regional identity? Has India missed the bus when it comes to engaging with the Taliban? For today's episode, we will discuss the geopolitical implication of Taliban entrance in the region and its implication on India. For this, we spoke with Anil Trigunayat, former Indian envoy to Jordan, Libya and Malta. Producer and Host: Himmat Shaligram Guests: Anil Trigunayat, former Indian envoy to Jordan, Libya and Malta.

How will the lives of millions of Afghan women change now that the Taliban has taken control of their country? What will happen to their freedom? As the Taliban goes onto establishing their rule in Afghanistan, the futures of Afghan women and young girls stand at a very precarious position. They are petrified that those dark ages from the older Taliban regime might return once again. They're worried that school, college, jobs, the freedom to be as they will — all of that may soon be snatched away from them. Even though in their first press conference since the capture of Kabul, Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said they would honour women's rights going forward, there's an ambiguous caveat there that evokes distrust. The Taliban have made it clear that women can exercise their right within the framework of the Islamic code. The deep skepticism around their promises isn't unfounded given their tainted past, when they had banned education for women and girls, forbidden them to step outside without a male escort, cut off their access to employment, forced them to wear full body coverings – failing to do which extreme punishments awaited women such as lashings and even being stoned to death in some instances. So, can the Taliban really be trusted? With reports coming up of Afghan women being let off their banking jobs, women journalists being taken off air, is it likely that the Taliban will gradually go back to their old ways? In this episode we bring you voices of Afghan women.

US President Joe Biden has found himself engulfed in a political storm, as a catastrophe unfolds in Afghanistan in front of our very eyes. As Afghan nationals are distraught anticipating the return of the dark ages that Afghanistan was shrouded in during the last Taliban rule, Biden is being confronted with the harsh reality of the human suffering that his decision to withdraw US troops from the country, has led to. While some are calling it his 'Saigon moment', dodging accusations of a messy exit from Afghanistan, Biden reiterated once again that he stood by his decision. In his first address from the White House since the Taliban recaptured Afghanistan, he said that the blame for the fall of the country, lay squarely on the Afghan government who couldn't eradicate corruption, and their military who couldn't stand up to the terrorist fighters without the US backing them. Yet, Biden's words have failed to soothe his critics who believe that his actions have not only tarnished America's political integrity, but it's also making people question what America's commitment to democracy really means. With criticisms mounting over this decision, will the Afghan crisis end up defining Biden's legacy? Throughout this week, over multiple episodes of our daily news podcast, we will try to breakdown the several aspects of the fall of Afghanistan and the many implications of this humanitarian disaster. In the previous episode of The Big Story, we broke down how the Taliban withstood 20 years of US-led military offensive against them and came back to power once again. In this episode, we will look at the implications of the Afghan crisis for Biden. Was there any scope to avoid this political and humanitarian wreck? And will the decision to abandon Afghanistan undermine the US' position internationally?

Scott interviews journalist Bas Spliet about the ongoing war in Yemen. Spliet reminds us that even though the Houthis are still referred to in most of the Western media as “rebels,” they have actually been ruling 80% of the country since 2014, and it’s really Saudi Arabia’s puppet ruler Mansour Hadi who is on the outside looking in. The people of Yemen continue to suffer terribly thanks to America’s support for Saudi Arabia and the UAE as they conduct a war of deliberate starvation and genocide there. President Trump could end this suffering with a single phone call.

There are about 3 million people trapped right now in Idlib, Syria. These people can’t go anywhere because Turkey won’t let them in, and military interventions have been ramping up for months. There could be some relief as Russia and Turkey just agreed to a new ceasefire, but there have been ceasefire agreements in Idlib before, and they’ve collapsed. Today, we have Elizabeth Tsurkov, a fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute who has a deep network of contacts in the region. We’re talking about how we got to this point, why so much more than a ceasefire is needed, and how this is a stain on the international community.
Turkey sees the fall of Idlib as an existential threat; Russian-backed Syrian forces see the province as the last redoubt of troublesome rebels. Millions are trapped in the crossfire. Loans are hard to come by in Venezuela, so one plucky rum company has boldly made a share offering. And why it’s so hard to deliver the mail in Congo.

Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons(IDP’s) face significant challenges to their health and well-being that are unique, due to lack of necessary resources including food, water, sanitation, shelter, security and healthcare. Caring for people in these situations requires an understanding of their unique needs as well as having realistic goals regarding what can and cannot be done for them. Recent experiences in providing healthcare for the victims of disasters in Nepal, Kurdistan and Turkey – both natural and manmade – highlight the need to be well prepared when serving in these difficult situations. Focus areas for the presentation and discussion will include team selection and preparation; travel and logistics issues; identifying and addressing the needs of the people being served, including physical, psychological and spiritual needs; partnering with other relief organizations and local authorities; and returning home successfully. We are called to serve the “least of these”, and the victims of disasters and crises certainly qualify. Often these events, though causing much hardship and suffering, create the possibility for doors and hearts to be open to the message of Jesus that otherwise would be closed. We must be both willing and well prepared if we are to serve well when we are called to respond to those in need.
