The Palestinian Solidarity Network Aotearoa's launched what it calls a 'genocide hotline' - asking people to report sightings of Israeli Defence Force soldiers holidaying in New Zealand. It's part of their campaign against the war on Gaza, and it says the focus is not Israeli or Jewish people - but IDF soldiers. National chair, John Minto, says now is a window of opportunity to pressure Israel more to continue with the ceasefire. "There's been industrial-scale killing of Palestinians in Gaza - no one involved in that army should be allowed into New Zealand." The post has prompted more than 100 complaints to the Human Rights Commission. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Earlier this week, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon announced a major reshuffling of ministerial portfolios within the National party.  Among the most notable portfolio changes was handing over Dr Shane Reti's role as minister of health to Transport Minister Simeon Brown and the appointment of Nicola Willis as Minister of the newly created portfolio of Minister of Economic Growth, a title formerly known as the Minister of Economic Development. The cabinet reshuffle has led to concerns about the fate of Health NZ and Aotearoa's healthcare sector, noting that Shane Reti had over 20 years of experience working in medicine, whereas Simeon Brown has none.  The reshuffle also comes shortly after a recent poll by the Taxpayers Union showed that National's approval rating had fallen below 30%, the lowest rating they've received while in government since 1999. For their Weekly Catchup, Oto spoke to the Green Party's Ricardo Menendez-March about the Cabinet reshuffle and the implications it may have for the healthcare sector and economy. They also discussed the government's new free speech legislation for Universities and the ceasefire between Hamas and the Israeli Defence Force.

Postmortem sperm retrieval is a procedure whereby the sperm of dead men is extracted in the hours following their death and stored for potential future use. The practise is banned in many countries while regulated in others. Usually, the gametes are used by the spouse of the dead partner to posthumously conceive a child. But in Israel, it's increasingly being used by parents of Israeli Defence Force soldiers who have died in war in Gaza, with the hope of creating grandchildren. Journalist, author and broadcaster Jenny Kleeman has travelled to Israel for the Financial Times to speak to those involved in the controversial procedure, and explores the contested ethical ground underpinning PMSR.Produced by Aideen Finnegan Hosted on Acast.

Israel bombed central Beirut in the early hours of Thursday, killing at least 6 people in what it called a "precise air strike." The Israeli Defence Force suffered its deadliest day with 8 Israeli soldiers killed in its ground invasion of Lebanon, the first deaths it's reported since the attack started 2 days ago.

The world watched as earlier this year footage of students across the world mobilised to protest against Israel's ongoing killing of defenceless Palestinian citizens, particularly children. Longstanding encampments were established at university campuses across America and here in Australia, popping up across Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne. Students at Melbourne University staged a sit-in and encampment in a campus building, refusing to leave until university leadership agreed it would disclose any links to weapons manufacturers who may be providing weapons being used by the Israeli Defence Force. Since the sit-in's end, students who participated have reported being asked to attend disciplinary hearings for their conduct during the protests, with WiFi data and CCTV footage of them on campus being used as evidence of their participation.  Kareem Zaghlool is a postgraduate medical student nearing the end of his degree and Zara Chauvin Cunningham is a second-year science student and is also Jewish. In this exclusive episode of The Briefing, Antoinette Lattouf sits down with the two students to find out how they feel about being tracked and spied on, despite the university pledging it wouldn't use tech to track them. The Briefing contacted the Victorian Information Commissioner and the University of Melbourne for comment for this story, who provided the following statements: Sean Morrison, Victorian Information Commissioner: “The OVIC is making preliminary enquiries with University of Melbourne regarding this matter. This information will assist OVIC in assessing whether or not an investigation proceeds. It would not be appropriate for OVIC to provide further comment given the preliminary nature of its involvement. OVIC is unlikely to comment on where matters do not proceed from a preliminary inquiry to an investigation.” A University of Melbourne spokesperson said:   “The University is currently progressing a range of matters in relation to student conduct. We will not be commenting on individual matters, in line with our confidentiality requirements and our commitment to procedural fairness under University policy.  The University is in direct communication with individuals as required in relation to these matters.”   Regarding peaceful protests, Professor Nicola Phillips, Provost said:  “Freedom of speech is foundational to our values and policies at the University of Melbourne. We have consistently stated that we recognise the right of students and staff to participate in peaceful protest.”    Headlines: Further pressure for Biden to drop out of presidential race Meth, cocaine and nicotine at record highs around Australia De Minaur pulls out of Wimbledon, with Olympics now uncertain  Kirsha Kaechele reveals the MONA Picasso's are fakes painted by her  Follow The Briefing:TikTok: @listnrnewsroomInstagram: @listnrnewsroom @thebriefingpodcast YouTube: @LiSTNRnewsroomFacebook: @LiSTNR Newsroom  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Traumatic vision has emerged showing the aftermath of recent Israeli airstrikes on a makeshift tent city in Rafah, in the south of Gaza, that reportedly killed 45 people, with 249 others wounded. Aid groups have said the Israeli Defence Force had designated the area a humanitarian safe zone before launching the attack – although Israel denies this.  The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to “immediately halt its military offensive” in Rafah, but in ambiguous terms, which the Israeli Government has interpreted to mean its Rafah offensive can continue.  Meanwhile, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has applied for arrest warrants for Netanyahu, the Israeli defence minister, and three Hamas leaders for war crimes and crimes against humanity.  In this episode, Bension Siebert speaks with international law expert, Juliette McIntyre, and Frankie Leach, spokesperson for humanitarian organisation ActionAid.  Follow The Briefing:Instagram: @thebriefingpodcast Facebook: TheBriefingNewsAUTwitter: @TheBriefingAUSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For over half a century, the US and Australia have operated Pine Gap - a joint top-secret spy base at Alice Springs in the heart of outback Australia Today, concern is mounting that spies at Pine Gap may be eavesdropping on the Middle East and passing critical information on to the Israeli Defence Force. This would mean Australia is playing a role in the conflict, raising serious questions about the public's right to know how our land, resources and geographical advantage is being deployed, especially when it makes us a nuclear target for foreign powers.

Humanity is currently going through a stage in its history known as the “AI Spring”, an ongoing period of advancement in the world of artificial intelligence, heavily impacting the technology we use on a daily basis. As to be expected, there are numerous ethical concerns to be raised regarding the development of artificial intelligence. The use of AI in modern military conflicts has demonstrated the capabilities of this new technology to cause large-scale destruction to human lives. The Israeli Defence Force, for example, have been using AI in their weapon systems to acquire targets in their war on Gaza, contributing to one the highest rates of civilian casualties in any modern conflict.  Dr Thomas Gregory is a Senior lecturer in politics and international relations at the University of Auckland, with expertise in civilian casualties and contemporary conflict. Oto spoke with him to discuss how AI is being used on the battlefield, and how it has impacted civilian lives in modern conflicts.

Pressure is mounting on Israel to explain why seven humanitarian aid workers in clearly marked vehicles were killed in an air strike this week. Seven people died after the World Central Kitchen convoy was hit several times. The CEO of WCK, chef Jose Andres, has told Reuters in an interview that the Israeli attack targeted them "systematically, car by car." The Israeli Defence Force claims the strike was deliberate, but they thought the aid convoy was something else. Author and columnist for the Israeli publication Haaretz Gideon Levy spoke to Corin Dann.

Israel has suffered its deadliest single day in Gaza since its ground invasion began. Twenty-four members of the Israeli Defence Force were killed on Monday, the toll included 21 who were killed inside a Central Gaza building that was set to be demolished. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says despite the losses, Israel will push on with the fighting in Gaza until "absolute victory". Meanwhile, the UN Relief agency for Palestine says almost 600,000 people in Gaza are facing catastrophic hunger. This comes as the Palestinian death toll since October 7 reached 25,000 earlier in the week. Correspondent Sarah Coates spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Heavy fighting is continuing in the southern city of Khan Yunis. Israeli military officials believe that's where the head of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, is hiding and that he has most likely surrounded himself with some of the remaining Israeli hostages. The Israeli Defence Force says it's killed more than 40 terrorists in the city in the past 24 hours. There are concerns about Gaza's main hospital, where more than 7000 residents are sheltering, which has been surrounded by Israeli forces. The death toll from Israel's bombardment of Gaza is nearing 25,000, as concerns grow about the conflict spreading further in Lebanon and the Red Sea. Earlier this week, Qatar brokered a deal to send aid into the Gaza Strip in exchange for medical supplies being given to the remaining Israeli hostages. RNZ's correspondent in Tel Aviv, Sarah Coates, spoke to Ben Strang.

The UN is warning of an "even more hellish scenario" in Gaza as Israeli forces ramp up their offensive following last week's ceasefire. The Israeli Defence Force says that for every one Hamas fighter they kill, two civilians are also killed, however they say this is a 'tremendously positive' ratio given combat challenges. A 90-minute long "local tactical pause" was enforced overnight near the Rafah border crossing with Egypt to allow further aid into the enclave. But the World Health Organisation says the situation in Southern Gaza is deteriorating by the hour. UNRWA spokesperson Juliette Touma spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Celebrated psychiatrist Professor Steven Moffic gives his concerned and compassionate view of the Gaza conflict. Steve and Jon talk about the use of culture to bring people together and the use of propaganda to tear them apart. We believe it is time to bury the hatchet and to bring the guilty to trial rather than the present assault by Hamas on the Israeli people and the Israeli Defence Force on the Palestinians. With a discussion of racism and apartheid, of prejudice against left-handers and night owls, the "woke" culture and even psychedelics as a possible solution to hatred.

It is six weeks since Hamas's attack on southern Israel, which indiscriminately and cruelly killed about 1,200 people and prompted a brutal and unrelenting retaliatory ground insurgency led by the Israeli Defence Force. The local authority so far claims figures of 11,000 dead. Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, vows to bring an end to Hamas but is that even possible? And what comes next?

The Israeli Defence force has released a video that it says shows evidence Hamas held hostages under a specialist children's hospital in central Gaza. The video, filmed in the basement of the Al-Rantisi Hospital, shows a cache of ammunition, grenades and suicide vests along with a rope tied around the base of a chair and a motorcycle riddled with bullet holes. Items of womens clothing and a baby's bottle were also found. It comes amid reports Hamas is asking for a five day truce in exchange for up to 70 hostages.

The IDF has also promised a pause on military operations for four-hour periods each day allowing Palestinians to head south and for deliveries of aid to be made.

A doctor has described an operating room ceiling collapsing to the floor mid surgery during the bombing of a Gaza hospital.

Claims and counter claims after a massive explosion at the Al-Ahli Arabi Baptist Hospital in Gaza. Hundreds of Palestinians died after a suspected rocket hit the building. It was packed with the sick and injured as well as families sheltering in the hospital where they thought they would be safe. Healthcare workers are also among those killed. Hamas insists it was an Israeli missile strike, but the Israeli Defence Force claims it was a rocket that misfired from the Gaza side of the border. The IDF says it has intelligence indicating the rocket came from Islamic Jihad, a militant group operating in Gaza. Islamic Jihad denies any involvement.
