The fragile ceasefire between Iran and the United States is facing a new test. Iran's revolutionary guard is warning it has a "legitimate" right to respond, after US forces carried out what they called self-defense strikes on Iranian missile launch sites and boats around the Strait of Hormuz. And the regional situation is growing even more volatile. Israel has launched fresh strikes in Lebanon, signaling a more aggressive posture against Hezbollah, as the Trump administration indicates continued support. Beth Sanner, a former US Deputy Director of National Intelligence, joins Bianna Golodryga to discuss.  Also on today's show: Dr. Nahid Bhadelia, Boston University Center on Emerging Infectious Diseases; Heather Kerr, DRC Country Director, International Rescue Committee; Maya MacGuineas, President, Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget  Learn more about your ad choices.

What if some of the most important applications of AI today have nothing to do with productivity, marketing, or enterprise automation, and everything to do with helping people survive crisis, displacement, and uncertainty? In this episode, recorded at, I sit down with André Heller Pérache to explore how technology originally designed for customer service has evolved into humanitarian infrastructure supporting refugees and displaced communities around the world. André shares the story behind Signpost, a global digital initiative from the International Rescue Committee that now operates across roughly 30 countries and 25 languages, helping register more than 20 million users while supporting over 500,000 digital social work consultations. But this conversation goes much deeper than technology. We discuss what happens when trusted information becomes as important as food, shelter, or medical support during times of crisis. André explains how Signpost was born from the realization that vulnerable communities were already living digitally through smartphones, WhatsApp, Facebook, and social platforms while much of the humanitarian sector still relied on traditional offline systems. We also explore the responsible use of AI in high-stakes environments where mistakes can have real-world consequences for refugees, families, and vulnerable populations. André shares why the IRC sees AI as one of the humanitarian sector's biggest bets at a time when armed conflict, climate disasters, and shrinking budgets are putting enormous pressure on aid organizations globally. From misinformation and trust to reducing cognitive burden and scaling empathy through technology, this episode offers a powerful reminder that behind every AI conversation are ultimately human beings searching for dignity, safety, clarity, and hope.

Today's Headlines: Two January 6th police officers — Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges — filed a lawsuit to block Trump's $1.776 billion slush fund, naming Trump, Todd Blanche, and Scott Bessent, while exactly one Republican congressman, Brian Fitzpatrick, called it out publicly — prompting Trump to immediately shitpost about Fitzpatrick's wife. On the primaries, Tuesday's results confirmed that Trump owns the GOP completely: Mitch McConnell lost his Senate primary to a Trump-endorsed challenger, Georgia has two runoff races next month with no clear Trump favorite in either, and Alabama is in redistricting limbo with a special primary coming in August. The through-line is simple — any hint of dissent costs you your job, even as Trump's approval rating drops and voters are furious about costs. The Ebola outbreak is moving fast, with over 600 suspected cases and 139 deaths — a 30% jump in a single day — a 30-50% fatality rate, no treatment, and a vaccine still months away. The International Rescue Committee says Trump's USAID cuts left the region dangerously unprepared to catch the outbreak early, though the State Department has now pledged to fund 50 treatment clinics, which is good, and also something USAID was already doing before it was gutted. Remember when shitposting about Charlie Kirk was treated like a crime? Well, a retired Tennessee cop spent 37 days in jail and lost his job over a Facebook post quoting Trump after a school shooting — Perry County will now pay him $835,000 for the First Amendment violation, which seems like an expensive lesson. In real life Succession, James Murdoch officially acquired roughly half of Vox Media including New York Magazine and its podcast network for over $300 million, with The Verge and Eater not included in the deal. SpaceX filed for its IPO yesterday at a $1.25 trillion valuation — one day after Elon lost his OpenAI trial — with Musk's compensation package including a billion shares that only vest when there's a permanent Mars colony of at least one million people, so that's his retirement plan. OpenAI is filing for its IPO tomorrow at an $850 billion valuation, Anthropic is raising money at a $900 billion valuation, and Trump endorsed Spencer Pratt for mayor of Los Angeles, calling him "a character" and "a big MAGA person," with Pratt currently polling between second and third ahead of the June 2nd primary.

Zu Gast in unserem Livepodcast Menschenrechte: nachgefragt anlässlich des 35 Jahrestages der deutschen Einheit und 50 Jahre nach Unterzeichnung der Schlussakte von Helsinki: Dr. Volker Höffer. Er ist Lehrer, Historiker und seit 2009 Leiter der Außenstelle Rostock des Stasi-Unterlagen-Archivs. Volker Höffer hat die friedliche Revolution als 26-Jähriger erlebt. Er weiß, warum im Sommer und im Herbst 1989 so viele junge Menschen den Mut fanden, in Oppositionsgruppen und auf der Straße gegen das DDR-Unrechtsregime zu protestieren: Der Generationenwechsel mobilisierte Zehntausende, die weniger traumatisiert und angstgetrieben waren als ihre Eltern. Viele Menschen waren der totalen Überwachung und der Repressionen überdrüssig. Ihre Hoffnungen auf eine erleichterte Ausreise und eine Stärkung der Menschenrechte hatten sich nicht erfüllt. Im Gegenteil: Die Herrschenden hatten nie die Absicht gehabt, sich an die Regeln aus der Schlussakte von Helsinki zu halten, zu deren Unterzeichnern im August 1975 auch die DDR gehört hatte. Die Staatssicherheit trieb ihre Zersetzungsmaßnahmen voran, und machte auch vor dem Einsatz im Westen nicht halt: so wurden Menschenrechtsorganisationen wie die Internationale Gesellschaft für Menschenrechte und Amnesty International gezielt unterwandert. Stützen konnte sich die Staatssicherheit auf Zehntausende Inoffizielle Mitarbeiter. Höffer schildert erschreckende Beispiele von Verrat im engsten Freundeskreis. Jahr für Jahr beantragen immer noch Tausende Einsicht in „ihre Akte“. Manche zum wiederholten Mal, manche trauen sich erst nach Jahrzehnten, die Belege für ihre Bespitzelung durch Freunde, Kollegen, sogar Familienmitglieder einzusehen. Die Kenntnisse darüber, wie ein Inlandgeheimdienst wie die Staatssicherheit arbeitet, waren während des Arabischen Frühlings sehr gefragt. Deutsche Experten unterstützten die ägyptischen Behörden bei der Aufarbeitung der Mubarak-Diktatur. Heute bemühen sich Syrier um deutsche Expertise, von der sie sich versprechen die Erbschaft von zwölf Geheimdiensten und ihrer ungezählten Folterhöllen aufzuarbeiten. Vorabinfo: In der nächsten Folge sprechen wir mit Helena Lüer vom International Rescue Committee, 1933 von Albert Einstein gegründet, über die weltweite humanitäre Hilfe.

The Supreme Court heard arguments on two cases where the Trump administration is attempting to end TPS, or Temporary Protected Status, for thousands of Haitians and Syrians living in the US.

Martin Michael, forstjóri Niceair 2,0, virðist ekki sérlega þekktur í flugheiminum og efasemdir hafa heyrst eftir kynningarfund hans á Akureyri á þriðjudag. Eins og hann hefur kynnt áform um að hefja flug milli Akureyrar og Kaupmannahafnar er ekki um að ræða flugfélag í eiginlegum skilningi, eða einhvers konar flugrekstur, segir Jón Karl Ólafsson, sem hefur áratuga reynslu af flugrekstri og ferðaþjónustu. Heldur sé þetta söluskrifstofa sem selji flugsæti í leiguflug. Meginástæða þess að framlög til neyðaraðstoðar í heiminum fara minnkandi er upplausn í alþjóðastjórnmálum, segja alþjóðlegu mannúðar- og hjálparsamtökin International Rescue Committee. Ný, reglubundin heimsskipan tuttugustu aldar hefur vikið fyrir nýrri heimsupplausn, með skelfilegum afleiðingum. Þessi heimsupplausn einkennist af vaxandi ágreiningi og átökum á alþjóðasviðinu, óstöðugum og síbreytilegum hagsmunablokkum, og auknu vægi hrossakaupa og baktjaldamakks. Lungann úr deginum sátu leiðtogar Evrópusambandsríkja og Volodímír Selenskí, forseti Úkraínu, á rökstólum í Brussel og ráðguðust um hvort og hvernig fjárhagsstuðningi ESB við Úkraínu yrði háttað næstu árin. Og sambandsríkin eru ekki á eitt sátt um hvort eigi að setja frystar eignir Rússa að veði fyrir láni til Úkraínu. Talað hefur verið um að ESB láni Úkraínustjórn 90 milljarða evra og fái þá endurgreidda, þá og þegar Rússar borga þeim stríðsskaðabætur.

Eftirspurn eftir kókaíni á Íslandi virðist óþrjótandi og efnið berst til landsins úr öllum áttum. Áhersla Bandaríkjastjórnar á fentanyl-faraldurinn er talin ein helsta ástæða þess að kókaínsmygl þrífst betur en áður. Lögregla og tollgæsla hafa haldlagt á annað hundrað kílóa af kókaíni það sem af er þessu ári. Freyr Gígja Gunnarsson fjallar um málið. Neyðarlistinn - The Emergency Watchlist - er skýrsla sem alþjóðlegu hjálparsamtökin International Rescue Committee, IRC, gefur út árlega, um þau tuttugu lönd þar sem neyð almennings er stærst og þykir líklegust til að aukast mest á ári komanda. Súdan, Palestína og Suður-Súdan eru efst á á listanum í ár, í þessari röð, þriðja árið í röð. Upplausn í alþjóðastjórnmálum leiðir til aukinnar neyðar - en minni framlaga til neyðaraðstoðar. Ævar Örn Jósepsson skoðar þetta og ræðir við Bjarna Gíslason, framkvæmdastjóra Hjálparstarfs kirkjunnar. Umsjón: Ævar Örn Jósepsson Tæknimaður: Kári Guðmundsson

David Miliband, president and chief executive officer of the International Rescue Committee, shares the countries on the IRC's "watchlist," or the countries they determine are most at risk for humanitarian emergencies, and what the IRC is doing to prepare.

Leaders today face climate havoc, geopolitical instability and a 'more chaotic form of globalization,' said David Miliband, the president and chief executive officer of humanitarian organization International Rescue Committee. On this recent Meet the Leader, he explains how leaders can navigate this more disordered world and an 'age of impunity' – a trend he's tracked for years where some seem less accountable to the power they yield. He explains the challenge he sees for leaders of all stripes in the near future, giving practical advice on how leaders can stay accountable to the big picture and better meet the moment to craft tactical strategies and drive cooperation for positive change.  This interview was recorded October 2025 in the World Economic Forum New York Office.

Like many humanitarian crises, the situation in Sudan is complicated. The nation has a long history of violence, war and genocide. Several militia groups, factions and tribes have contributed to the devastation. The region is facing mass starvation. Millions of people have been displaced and impacted by famine.

From San Diego to Florida, this cross-country trek raises Alzheimer's awareness while spotlighting the power of natural movement, smart footwear, and a strong community.   In this episode of the The MOVEMENT Movement, Steven Sashen interviews Judy Benjamin, who embarked on a remarkable journey from San Diego to Florida to raise awareness for Alzheimer's disease. Judy's powerful story highlights the importance of early detection, proper walking techniques, and footwear from Xero Shoes in managing her own early Alzheimer's diagnosis. Through personal anecdotes, she emphasizes lifestyle changes like exercise, diet, and humor to enhance brain health while shedding light on the emotional and financial burdens faced by families affected by Alzheimer's.   Key Takeaways: → Why it's vital to focus on good posture, foot placement, and body alignment during walks. → How people should educate yourself about Alzheimer's disease and the Bredesen Protocol. → Why incorporating humor into your daily life helps navigate challenging situations. → How prioritizing exercise as a key component of a healthy lifestyle is crucial. → The importance of balancing enjoyment while taking care of your health.   Judy Benjamin, Ph.D., lives a life centered on making a difference in the World.

The International Rescue Committee estimates that worldwide, countries with about 11% of the world’s population account for a staggering 82% of people needing humanitarian aid. William Brangham spoke with Cindy McCain, director of the United Nations’ World Food Program, about what’s happening in Sudan, where the world’s largest — and often overlooked — humanitarian crisis is unfolding.

The number of people forced to flee their homes because of war, persecution, humanitarian disaster or political collapse topped 123 million people in 2024. That's double what it was just 10 years ago. Yet just as the need has exploded, the global aid system is unraveling. On the GZERO World Podcast, David Miliband, president & CEO of the International Rescue Committee sits down with Ian Bremmer to discuss the growing crisis as the number of refugees continues to rise and the US, once the anchor of the global aid system, shuts down USAID and drastically pulls back foreign funding.Miliband says we're facing “a new abnormal,” with 275 million people facing humanitarian emergencies in 20 countries in crisis. The vast majority of displaced people are hosted in low and middle income countries, meaning the world's poorest and most under-resourced places are shouldering a disproportionately high share of the burden. Miliband and Bremmer discuss the worsening humanitarian situation in places like Sudan and Gaza, the impact of US aid cuts, whether any nation or group of nations can fill the void, and where Miliband sees glimmers of hope amid so many intractable problems.Host: Ian BremmerGuest: David Miliband Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

The international organization that monitors hunger crises around the world has declared that parts of Gaza are in famine. The U.N.-backed group of experts said that half a million people in Gaza, a quarter of the population, are facing “catastrophic conditions characterised by starvation, destitution and death.” Nick Schifrin spoke with David Miliband of the International Rescue Committee. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy

As the Israeli government weighs, once again, expanding its genocidal military campaign in Gaza, the enclave is sliding into a full-scale famine.“We're seeing a purely manmade famine,” says Bob Kitchen, vice president of emergencies at the International Rescue Committee. “The Gaza Strip is surrounded by very fertile farming territory. All of the countries around Gaza have more than enough food.” This week on the Intercept Briefing, Intercept reporter Jonah Valdez speaks with Kitchen about what U.N.-backed hunger experts have called a “worst-case scenario.” Kitchen lays out how Israel's ongoing war, combined with severe restrictions on humanitarian aid and commercial access, has created near-impossible conditions for food and medical supplies to enter Gaza — accelerating a crisis that could soon be irreversible.“The only thing that's changed is the war, the restrictions on humanitarian aid, the restrictions on the market economy where commercial traffic can't get in,” says Kitchen. “That's the only thing that is driving the hunger right now.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.You can support our work at theintercept.com/join.

John welcomes David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, and David Miliband, head of the International Rescue Committee, to discuss Israel's war with Hamas and the humanitarian horror show unfolding in Gaza. Having just authored his fourth major reported piece on the conflict since October 7, 2023, Remnick explains Israel's sense of “national euphoria” after the Twelve-Day War launched by Benjamin Netanyahu against Iran to cripple its nuclear capabilities—and why Israelis have largely ignored the devastation the campaign against Hamas has inflicted on Gaza and the political, diplomatic, and moral crises it has unleashed for the Jewish state. Miliband attests to the scale and severity of the food emergency in Gaza due to what seems to be a calculated starvation strategy embraced by Netanyahu to bring “total victory” against Hamas.
