Is it time to start worrying about the Germans again? Perhaps, at least according to Jacob Kushner, the author of LOOK AWAY: A True Story of Murders, Bombings, and a Far-Right Campaign to Rid Germany of Immigrants, a book about an eleven year terror campaign by the National Socialist Underground (NSU). Kushner is ambivalent about the broad appeal in Germany of the NSU's murderous violence against immgrants, but he does suggest that this recent chapter in German history suggests that the country isn't quite the peaceful haven of toleration that some previous KEEN ON guests, like Peter Gumbel, believe it to be.Jacob Kushner is an international correspondent who writes magazine and other longform stories from Africa, Germany, and the Caribbean. He reports on migration and human rights, foreign aid and investment, terrorism and violent extremism, science and global health, climate change and wildlife, and press freedom.  His writing has appeared in The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, The New Yorker, Harper's, The Economist, National Geographic, The Nation, VQR, The Atavist, WIRED, Foreign Policy, and VICE. He has photographed for National Geographic and field-produced for VICE on HBO, and PBS NewsHour. He is the author of China's Congo Plan, which was favorably reviewed in The New York Review of Books.His new book, Look Away: A True Story of Murders, Bombings, and a Far-Right Campaign to Rid Germany of Immigrants, is published in May 2024.

Today we welcome back to the show, journalist and author, Dave Marcus. Soon after graduating from Brown, Marcus wrote an article for Vanity Fair. It was a look at the final months of his nefarious cousin Roy Cohn. The same Roy Cohn who was Donald Trump's mentor and fixer. Since then, Dave has been warning Americans about the ways Cohn taught Trump to lie, steal, and misuse the judicial system. Marcus has written several books and shared the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting, for a series about violence against women. Today, we will talk to Dave about how Trump is now mimicking Cohn's lawless approach to the law in courtrooms across the country. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Irish author Marian Keyes writes funny, clever novels about life including: Rachel's Holiday, Anybody out There, Grown Ups, Angels. She covers issues such as addiction, break-ups, baby loss, anxiety, depression and love, with women at the heart. We all make mistakes, but when do we stop making the same one over and over again? This is the question at the heart of Marian's latest novel: My Favourite Mistake. She joins Anita Rani to discuss that, mistakes, perimenopause and ‘feathery strokers'.In a landmark case, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Switzerland was violating the human rights of its citizens by inadequate action on climate change. A group of more than 2,000 older Swiss women launched the case nine years ago, calling for better protection of women's health from the effects of climate change. The Court's ruling is binding and can trickle down to influence the law in 46 countries in Europe. Anita talks to one of the senior women who brought the case, Elisabeth Stern, and the group's lawyer, Jessica Simor. Almost 30 years ago, Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman were stabbed to death in Los Angeles. The prime suspect was OJ Simpson, Nicole's ex-husband and a well-known NFL player turned actor. What followed remains one of the most famous murder trials in history, televised and watched by millions. He was acquitted of the murders of Nicole and Ron. He did plead no contest to charges of ‘spousal battery' – what we now call domestic violence. And he was later found liable for the deaths in a separate civil case. OJ Simpson died on Wednesday at the age of 76. To talk about the impact his trial had on the perception of violence against women in the US is Sarah Baxter, Director of the Marie Colvin Center for International Reporting and former Deputy Editor of The Sunday Times. This week, it was announced that 883 actors, writers, comedians and creatives had signed an open letter in support of Francesca Amewudah-Rivers, the star in a new production of Romeo & Juliet, due to run in London's West End next month. The open letter came after a statement was published by the Jamie Lloyd Company, "Following the announcement of our Romeo & Juliet cast, there has been a barrage of deplorable racial abuse online directed towards a member of our company..." It was co-authored by actors Susan Wokoma and writer Somalia Nonyé Seaton and Susan joins Anita to talk about the issues.On 6 April 1999, Mamma Mia! opened in the West End. As the show celebrates its 25th anniversary, Woman's Hour celebrates the music of one of the most popular and successful musicals of all time.

Many Australian companies with overseas parent companies, operations, assets or subsidiaries will likely be required to comply with, and report against, multiple reporting regimes. Translation of global standards into local law has meant that the different reporting regimes worldwide each come with their own nuances and thresholds for application. In this episode, we talk through some of the key regimes, including ways in which companies are moving to address the reporting challenge.

On today's show, Tony Thompson will address the case of Clive Freeman, described as "Britain's longest-serving miscarriage of justice prisoner," who has recently garnered mainstream attention. Thompson will likely explore the details of Freeman's case, including the circumstances surrounding his conviction and any recent developments that suggest a breakthrough in his quest for justice. The discussion may also touch upon broader issues related to the criminal justice system and the challenges faced by individuals who have been wrongfully convicted. GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Tony Thompson was head of London Transport Police and first on the scene of crime at the Clapham Train Disaster. He has since fought against many injustices including Grenfell.

In their richly evocative narrative, Mahtani and McLaughlin draw on their on-the-ground reporting, and weave this through a historical account to foreground the fight of the frontline protestors, referred to in Cantonese as "The Braves", who felt they had no other choice but to resist Beijing's increasingly authoritarian governance.  In this interview, we discussed the way that the changing political landscape of Hong Kong is demonstrative of the fragility of democratic institutions. We spoke about attempts by Beijing to erase historical memory through the imposition of increasingly draconian laws. Mahtani and McLaughlin will provide listeners with insight as to why Hong Kong matters, and why the rest of the world should take notice of the global erosion of democratic freedoms.  Shibani Mahtani is an international investigative correspondent for the Washington Post. She was previously the Post's Hong Kong and Southeast Asia bureau chief and a correspondent for the Wall Street Journal based in Singapore, Yangon, and Chicago.

Mea Culpa welcomes David L. Marcus. Marcus has worked as a foreign correspondent, education reporter, and columnist at the Boston Globe, Miami Herald, Newsday, and U.S. News. David L. Marcus has worked as a foreign correspondent, education reporter, and columnist at the Boston Globe, Miami Herald, Newsday, and U.S. News. As South America bureau chief for the Dallas Morning News, he shared the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting, for a series about violence against women.

His articles have appeared in the New York Times, Vanity Fair, Newsweek, and GQ magazine to name a few. Marcus is the cousin of the infamous lawyer, Roy Cohn.

In this episode, Alissa Rubin reads an excerpt from the ancient Greek epic The Iliad. Rubin is a Senior International Correspondent for The New York Times. She worked previously as the Bureau Chief in Baghdad, Paris, and Kabul. In 2016, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in International Reporting for "thoroughly reported and movingly written accounts giving voice to Afghan women who were forced to endure unspeakable cruelties." The passage that Rubin selected is from the very last book of The Iliad, and portrays an encounter between the Trojan King Priam and the Greek warrior Achilles. If you're unfamiliar with the story, all you really need to know — for our purposes — is that Priam's son killed Achilles' best friend in combat, and Achilles then killed Priam's son in retribution. At the point where we meet them, Achilles has been dragging the body of his slain enemy behind his chariot for twelve days, and Priam has come in person to his enemy's encampment to plead for the return of his son's body.  The Iliad by Homer, translated by Robert Fagles, is published by Penguin Random House. Alissa Rubin's reporting – including her recent must-read coverage on climate change in the Middle East – is available to subscribers of The New York Times. We feature one short listener poem at the end of every episode. To submit, call the Haiku Hotline at 612-440-0643 and read your poem after the beep.

Last week, the Chinese government under President Xi Jinping took steps to finally move away from its zero-COVID policy, following two weeks of protests in multiple cities. The unrest and anti-government sentiment was perhaps the most pronounced since the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown. And while these events gave Western observers an opportunity to grapple with the complexity of Chinese politics, generational and regional differences in the views of the population, and ultimately how the authoritarian government responds to public pressure, it also gave us a chance to see how the Chinese censorship and surveillance apparatus operates. This week's Tech Policy Press podcast comes in two parts. In both, we'll hear from reporters covering the intersection of China and technology. This is the first part, and it features a conversation with Liza Lin, a Reporter at The Wall Street Journal. She covers Asia technology news for the Journal from Singapore. Before that she was the paper's China correspondent, based in Shanghai. She was part of a team at the Journal to named as Pulitzer Finalists for the International Reporting category in 2021 for coverage of Chinese leader Xi Jinping, and with other Journal reporters won the Gerald Loeb Award for International Reporting in 2018 for a series of stories on China's Surveillance state. She's co-author of a book on that subject titled Surveillance State: Inside China's Quest to Launch a New Era of Social Control, with Josh Chin.

Who is responsible for the current crisis? Is it PTI or is it PMLN? What will it take to get out of this mess? What is the Supertax? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? We often talk over each other, rather than talking to each other. We don't even bother listening to the other side, we read/watch to argue, not to understand, not to see where they are coming from. Social media makes enemies out of all of us.

This week on SOFREP Radio we are thrilled to welcome Jessica Donati. Donati covers foreign affairs for The Wall Street Journal in Washington DC, and has reported from over a dozen countries in the role. She joined the paper as the bureau chief in Kabul in 2015, and lived in Afghanistan for over four years. Previously, she worked for Reuters in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, covering both the conflicts in Libya and Afghanistan. Her work on a series on the war in Libya was chosen as a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting in 2012. In this exclusive interview with Jessica Donati, we dive into her new book, Eagle Down: The Last Special Forces Fighting the Forever War, and hear first hand accounts from the Special Forces battlespace in Afghanistan. In her new book, Eagle Down: The Last Special Forces Fighting the Forever War, Jessica Donati takes readers into the lives of U.S. Special Forces on the front lines against the Taliban and Islamic State, where a new and covert war is keeping Afghanistan from collapse. In 2015, the White House claimed triumphantly that “the longest war in American history” was over. But for some, it was just the beginning of a new war, fought by Special Operations Forces, with limited resources, little governmental oversight, and contradictory orders. Through successive policy directives under the Obama and Trump administrations, America has come to rely almost entirely on US Special Forces, and without a long-term plan, is failing to stabilize Afghanistan, undermining US interests both at home and abroad. Eagle Down is a riveting account of the heroism, sacrifice, and tragedy experienced by those that continue to fight America’s longest war. Don't miss this poignant, timely episode of SOFREP Radio.

This time talking to the great Margaret Coker, editor in chief at the nonprofit and independent news organization ‚The Current‘, who has covered stories from 32 countries on four continents during her two-decade career in journalism. In 2017 she has led a team of Wall Street Journal reporters named as finalists for the Pulitzer Prize in International Reporting. We spoke about the events of January 6, which was supposed to be the day that Joe Biden became the certified winner of the 2020 presidential election, but instead will now be known as the day that a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol. Margaret sheds light on the possible effects and consequences for American democracy overall and what it might mean for the Republican Party and Trumpism going forward.

Today I talked to Chris Hamby about his book Soul Full of Coal Dust: The True Story of an Epic Battle for Justice (Little Brown, 2020). Hamby looks into why there has been a surge in black-lung disease in West Virginia and elsewhere in recent years. Poor self-policing and rapacious business practices go a long way in explaining the upsurge. Add in a tradition of fatalism caused by King Coal, and it becomes a minor miracle –but a miracle all the same—that some miners have been able to secure a measure of justice. Chris Hamby is an investigative reporter for the New York Times. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Journalism in 2014 and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in International Reporting in 2017.

October Surprise: How the FBI Tried to Save Itself and Crashed an Election by Devlin Barrett Interview The 2016 Election, which altered American political history, was not decided by the Russians or in Ukraine or by Steve Bannon. The event that broke Hillary's blue wall in the Midwest and swung Florida and North Carolina was an October Surprise, and it was wholly a product of the leadership of the FBI. This is the inside story by the reporter closest to its center. In September 2016, Hillary Clinton was the presumptive next president of the US. She had a blue wall of states leaning her way in the Midwest, and was ahead in North Carolina and Florida, with a better than even shot at taking normally Republican Arizona. The US was about to get its first woman president. Yet within two months everything was lost. An already tightening race saw one seismic correction: it came in October when the FBI launched an investigation into the Clinton staff's use of a private server for their emails. Clinton fell 3-4 percent in the polls instantly, and her campaign never had time to rebut the investigation or rebuild her momentum so close to election day. The FBI cost her the race. October Surprise is a pulsating narrative of an agency seized with righteous certainty that waded into the most important political moment in the life of the nation, and has no idea how to back out with dignity. So it doggedly stands its ground, compounding its error. In a momentous display of self-preservation, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and key Justice Department officials decide to protect their own reputations rather than save the democratic process. Once they make that determination, the race is lost for Clinton, who is helpless in front of their accusation even though she has not intended to commit, let alone actually committed, any crime. A dark true-life thriller with historic consequences set at the most crucial moment in the electoral calendar, October Surprise is a warning, a morality tale and a political and personal tragedy. Devlin Barrett writes about the FBI and the Justice Department, and is the author of "October Surprise: How the FBI Tried to Save Itself and Crashed an Election." He was part of a team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for National Reporting, for coverage of Russian interference in the U.S. election. In 2017 he was a co-finalist for both the Pulitzer for Feature Writing and the Pulitzer for International Reporting. He has covered federal law enforcement for more than 20 years, and has worked at The Wall Street Journal, The Associated Press, and the New York Post.

Americans aren't the only ones awaiting the results of this year's U.S. presidential election with intense interest. Missouri School of Journalism students in Professor Beverly Horvit's International Reporting class interviewed journalists from all over the world about who people in their countries like in the 2020 campaign and why. The reporters know the U.S. well: They've all spent time here as Alfred Friendly or Hubert Humphrey fellows.

October Surprise The term ‘October Surprise’ refers to a type of dirty trick that comes so late in the election calendar that a candidate does not have the time or space to respond, and voters don’t have the time to consider what it might mean. Comey’s letter to Congress a mere 11 days before Election Day 2016, announcing a renewed investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails, is one of the most significant October Surprises on record. Trump contracting COVID-19 in October does not fit the description because a political opponent or third party did not orchestrate it; it was merely a surprising event in October. Restoring Trust in the FBI In the aftermath of 9/11, the FBI pivoted from criminal justice to national security. National Security agents soon came to run the bureau, instead of agents whose focus was on law enforcement, including in high-profile political cases. Comey’s security-focused inner circle lacked the insight of agents with such expertise, who might have cautioned him against his investigations and actions in 2016. To regain America’s trust, the FBI must reinvest in their public corruption and public integrity offices, demonstrating they have the leadership to stay impartial in elections, political investigations, and high-profile cases of public importance. Lessons from 2016 Though Comey’s ill-advised letter helped tip the scales in Trump’s favor, some of the onus falls on the voting public who were prone to believing in conspiracy theories and fake news stories. We need to bolster a healthy skepticism of our leaders, teach more civic engagement, and reemphasize the importance of critical thinking over blind devotion. Giving Americans the tools to rationally analyze news stories is vital to remedying our collective failure in 2016 and providing a better future for our democracy.

"He was nefarious. He was horrible." That's how Dave Marcus describes his cousin Roy Cohn, who was a mentor to Donald Trump up until his death. Cohn taught Trump and Giuliani how to be criminals, showing them plays from his own playbook, which he used to aid members of the mafia, among others, as a "fixer." Cohn taught Trump and Giuliani the tactic they employ most frequently today: deny, attack, obfuscate. Marcus gives a unique insight on what his family considered their most "phony" member and how his most corrupt methods are on display in Trump's White House.Dave Marcus is the recipient of a Pulitzer Price for International Reporting, and penned at op-ed for Politico which you can read here: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/09/24/roy-cohn-trump-cousin-228167 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Seymour Hersh is one of America's greatest investigative reporters. In his more than fifty year career he exposed the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War in which 109 unarmed Vietnamese civilians were killed. Writing for The New York Times he helped to bring more public attention to the Watergate cover-up.  Hersh has also shined a light on America's "War on Terror" and its related program(s) of extraordinary rendition and other violations of human rights. He was also one of the first public voices to warn that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney's second Iraq War was based on false pretenses and outright lies.   Hersh has written for The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Associated Press and other publications. In addition to many other prestigious awards, Hersh earned the Pulitzer Prize in 1970 for International Reporting. He is also the author of many books including "The Dark Side of Camelot", "The Price of Power", and "Chain of Command". Hersh's most recent book is "Reporter: A Memoir". In this wide-ranging conversation, Seymour Hersh reflects on the current health of the American news media, why they are so easily distracted by Donald Trump's use of social media, and why so many reporters and journalists are afraid of telling the truth and instead are willing slaves to weak standards of "balance" instead of stating plain facts and clear truths. Hersh also shares his thoughts on Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia, how Joe Biden will lose the Democratic presidential nomination, why Trump may likely win in 2020, and the ways that the Democratic National Committee sabotaged Bernie Sanders in 2016 and why this may be the party's undoing in the 2020 presidential race.

Pulitzer Prize winner C.J. Chivers’ unvarnished account of modern combat, told through the eyes of the fighters who have waged America’s longest wars. More than 2.7 million Americans have served in Afghanistan or Iraq since September 11, 2001. C.J. Chivers reported from both wars from their beginnings. “The Fighters” vividly conveys the physical and emotional experience of war as lived by six combatants: a fighter pilot, a corpsman, a scout helicopter pilot, a grunt, an infantry officer, and a Special Forces sergeant. Chivers captures their courage, commitment, sense of purpose, and ultimately their suffering, frustration, and moral confusion as new enemies arise and invasions give way to counterinsurgency duties for which American forces were often not prepared. C.J. Chivers is a correspondent for The New York Times and a writer-at-large for the New York Times Magazine. His magazine story “The Fighter” won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in Feature Writing. In 2009 he was part of a team that won the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting for coverage from Afghanistan and Pakistan. Chivers served as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps in the Persian Gulf War and on peacekeeping duty during the Los Angeles riots. Filmed at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum on October 25, 2018.

On Monday’s show, Leonard talks to one of America’s premier investigative journalists, Seymour “Sy” Hersh. Perhaps best known for exposing what came to be known as the My Lai Massacre and its cover-up during the Vietnam War, which earned him the 1970 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting, Sy has also reported on the US military's mistreatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and the U.S. military’s killing of Osama bin Laden. His journalism and publishing awards also include five George Polk Awards, two National Magazine Awards, and more than a dozen other prizes for investigative reporting. Don’t miss this conversation with a man who changed the course of US history with his reporting at least twice.

This episode features an interview Matt Tullis did with Brooke Jarvis in May 2015. In the interview, Jarvis talks about her story “The Deepest Dig,” which was included in the Best American Science and Nature Writing 2015 anthology. That story ran in the California Sunday Magazine. She also talked about her piece “Homeward,” which also ran in the California Sunday Magazine. That story is about a young man from the jungles of Ecuador, whose village sent him to the United States so he could be educated and come back to save the village from the oil industry and colonization. Since joining the podcast, Jarvis won the Livingston Award in National Reporting — she won that in 2017 for her story “Unclaimed.” In 2016, she was the recipient of the Reporting Award from NYU’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, and a finalist for the PEN USA Literary Award in Journalism and the Livingston Award in International Reporting. In November of 2017, her story “How One Woman’s Digital Life Was Weaponized Against Her” went viral after being the cover story on Wired Magazine. And in December, she had a piece in the New York Times Magazine about the children of undocumented immigrants whose parents had been deported, and yet they were left stateside. In June, Jarvis’s story, “The Obsessive Search for the Tasmanian Tiger,” ran in The New Yorker. The Tasmanian Tiger has long been thought extinct, but now there is hope that it is still alive.

Ep. 317 | Originally Aired: May 12, 2018 Journalism in the United States is under severe strain.

In 2004, David Barboza became the New York Times' Shanghai correspondent, where he began researching a story that would fundamentally change the relationship between Western journalists and the Chinese government. The story involved the former Prime Minister of China, Wen Jiabao, and his billions of hidden assets in stocks, companies, and through family and close friends. By confirming rumors that indicated corruption at the highest levels of the Chinese government, David Barboza's report was explosive, and received the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. The scandalizing nature of his report did not go unnoticed by Beijing, however, and the New York Times website remains blocked in China to this day. The "Harvard on China" podcast sat down with David Barboza while he was in residence at Harvard's Nieman Foundation for Journalism in 2016. This interview is the inaugural conversation in the Fairbank Center’s “Communicating China” project, where we examine how China is communicated in public discourse by academics, journalists, and officials, and how that shapes conversations about China’s position in the world. The "Harvard on China" podcast is hosted by James Evans at Harvard's Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies. Listen to more podcasts at the Fairbank Center's SoundCloud page.

Democracy Now!: Twenty Years Covering the Movements Changing America (Simon & Schuster)  From the standoff at Standing Rock over the Dakota Access Pipeline, to the voices of grassroots leaders; from Black Lives Matter activists to the stories of those fighting for peace, climate justice, migrant rights, and LGBTQ equality; from uncovering government surveillance to fighting attacks on freedom of the press, Democracy Now! has been reporting for two decades from the front lines of the movements that are changing America and changing the world. In these times of war and elections, movements and uprisings, we need independent media more than ever.

Amy Goodman is the host and executive producer of Democracy Now! a daily, global grassroots news hour, broadcasting on over 1,400 public television and radio stations around the U.S. and the world, with millions accessing it online at democracynow.org.
