Podcasts about Jamal Khashoggi

This fiery commentary dissects the dramatic reversal in U.S.-Saudi relations under President Biden and former President Trump. Once shunned for the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) is now portrayed as a modernizing force outpacing the Biden administration on global security and economic diplomacy. The discussion critiques Biden's approach to MBS, foreign oil dependency, and alleged support for hostile actors, while highlighting Trump's renewed efforts to strengthen ties with Saudi Arabia, boost U.S. economic influence, and counter China through strategic alliances and tech partnerships.

"Je suis l'une des porte-voix de celles et ceux qui ont souffert, je me bats contre les dictatures, les oppressions, les exactions". Tels sont les mots d'Agnès Callamard, secrétaire générale d'Amnesty International. Elle a travaillé au Pakistan, au Kenya, au Sénégal, en Tanzanie ou encore en Inde. Elle a enquêté sur l'affaire Khashoggi, Navalny, Souleimani … Agnès Callamard, patronne de l'une des plus importantes organisation mondiales de défense des droits de l'homme, raconte une vie de lutte contre l'impunité dans un livre, qui vient de paraître : "Une enquêtrice à l'ONU" (éd. Flammarion). Elle est notre invitée.

L'émission 28 minutes du 09/04/2025 Quand les États assassinent : une enquêtrice seule face aux puissantsAgnès Callamard est secrétaire générale d'Amnesty International depuis 2021, une ONG qu'elle intègre dès 1998. En 2016, son engagement en faveur des droits humains la dirige vers l'ONU : elle est nommée rapporteuse spéciale pour les exécutions extrajudiciaires. Ce mercredi 9 avril, elle publie "Une enquêtrice à l'ONU" aux éditions Flammarion, un livre-témoignage qui dévoile les coulisses de ses années de travail. Elle y raconte ses enquêtes les plus importantes, comme le meurtre du journaliste saoudien Jamal Khashoggi ou de l'opposant russe Alexeï Navalny, mais aussi les pressions diplomatiques et les risques encourus par les défenseurs des droits humains. Environnement : l'État en fait-il trop ou pas assez ? Mardi 8 avril, trois ONG ont attaqué l'État en justice pour son manque d'adaptation face au changement climatique. Le même jour, le projet de loi de simplification de la vie économique était débattu à l'Assemblée nationale. Ce texte ambitionnait de faciliter la vie des entrepreneurs, mais il est devenu un véritable champ de bataille politique, notamment en matière d'écologie. La droite et l'extrême droite souhaitent notamment la suppression des ZFE (Zones à faibles émissions, où les véhicules les plus polluants n'on pas le droit de circuler) et d'agences telles que l'Office français de la biodiversité ou l'Agence de l'environnement et de la maîtrise de l'énergie, au grand dam de la gauche et des écologistes. Ce passage dans l'hémicycle réactive le débat sur la place donnée à l'écologie en France, ainsi que des moyens dont se dote l'État pour répondre au changement climatique. Enfin, Xavier Mauduit raconte une histoire de guillotine à l'occasion de l'annonce de la panthéonisation de Robert Badinter, artisan de l'abolition de la peine de mort en France. Marie Bonnisseau nous emmène en Suède, où un hôtel écologique en faillite s'est rendu coupable de crimes environnementaux.  28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

One of the world's leaders in human rights has spoken to FRANCE 24 about her passion for the subject, her deep desire to help people in need, and her love for the world's institutions, such as the UN, that are designed to help combat human rights abuses. Agnès Callamard is currently secretary general of Amnesty International, and was until 2021 the UN's special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions. She worked, among many others, on the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and the poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Her new book is entitled "Une enquêtrice à l'ONU", or "An investigator at the UN". She spoke to us in Perspective.

En ung mand med store ambitioner og en forkærlighed for Call of Duty bliver kronprins i det Saudiske kongerige. Han vil give kvinder rettigheder og åbne det lukkede land op mod Vesten.

Med målrettede skridt træder journalisten Jamal Khashoggi ind på det saudiske konsulat i Istanbul. Men han træder aldrig ud igen. Snart kommer det frem, at han er blevet myrdet på den mest brutale måde af sine landsmænd inde i et mødelokale. Men hvorfor? Hvad skete der bag konsulatets tykke mure?

Since 2001, Ron Deibert and his team at the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab have uncovered dozens of covert spy operations around the world, including the creators of the phone hacking spyware, Pegasus, created by the Israeli company, NSO group, whose clients include Saudi Arabia's Mohammed bin Salman, and Rwanda's Paul Kagame. In a wide-ranging discussion, Deibert tells host Steve Paikin about his recent trip to the White House, the impact that the Trump administration's policies will have on cyber security worldwide, and why Canadians ought to be concerned by a bilateral agreement with the U.S. called the Cloud Act. His new book is called, "Chasing Shadows: Cyber Espionage, Subversion, and the Global Fight for Democracy." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was publicly identified as the man who ordered the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. As a result, he was referred to as a pariah. So, how did MBS go from pariah to peacemaker?

How did Saudi Arabia come to host leaders from the US, Russia and Ukraine for peace talks? Just a few years ago, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was publicly identified as the man who ordered the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. As a result, he was referred to as a pariah by former President Joe Biden. So, how did MBS go from pariah to peacemaker?Jonny Dymond speaks to journalist Jonathan Rugman, producer of the BBC documentary 'The Kingdom' about the life of Mohammed bin Salman.Producers: Richard Moran, Tom Kavanagh, Mhairi MacKenzie and Eleanor SlySound engineers: Mike RegaardAssistant editor: Richard Fenton-SmithSenior news editor: China Collins

De hauts responsables américains et russes ont entamé une réunion ce mardi dans la capitale saoudienne pour tenter de relancer une relation au plus bas depuis l'invasion russe de l'Ukraine, sous le regard inquiet des Européens et de Kiev. Une discussion qui pourrait se prolonger par une rencontre entre Vladimir Poutine et Donald Trump. Le prince héritier Mohammed ben Salmane, autrefois paria après l'assassinat du journaliste saoudien Jamal Khashoggi, est aujourd'hui l'homme que tout le monde veut avoir comme médiateur et s'impose comme un acteur clé dans le monde arabe. Entretien avec Bertrand Besancenot, ancien ambassadeur de France au Qatar et en Arabie saoudite, expert du Moyen-Orient.

PRESS REVIEW – Tuesday, February 18: Saudi Arabia emerges as a key diplomatic power as it hosts Russian and US officials for talks on Ukraine this Tuesday and a Gaza summit on Friday. How did Riyadh go from global pariah to key partner? Also: France's 2030 Winter Games preparation kicks off, actress Julianne Moore's children's book on a girl with freckles risks being banned by the Trump administration and a Belgian couple set a record for the longest marriage in Europe – 82 years! There's lots of focus on Saudi Arabia in the press as Russian and US officials meet in the capital Riyadh for Ukraine peace talks. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio already met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Monday, a meeting that makes the front page of the Saudi paper Arab News. Rubio will meet Russian officials on Tuesday to lay the groundwork for negotiations on Ukraine. Later this week, Riyadh will play host to an Arab summit on Gaza, as Saudi Arabia plays peacemaker. For Asharq al-Awsat, an Arab-language Saudi paper, this Tuesday's summit is a major change for international diplomacy and huge step forward towards world peace. It seems at the moment that "all roads lead to Riyadh", as the Middle East Eye notes in this article. The talks this week, the website says, could rewrite the security architecture of Europe.It seems that European leaders have become mere bystanders – at least for the illustrated press. Patrick Blower for The Daily Telegraph sees Donald Trump and a blood-soaked Vladimir Putin carving up Ukraine while Europe's leaders sit at the proverbial kids' table. All the while, for Morten Morland, the Times cartoonist, the world's autocratic leaders are enjoying the show.The French paper Le Figaro provides some analysis as to why Saudi Arabia has suddenly been thrust into a leadership role. According to the French daily, it's been carefully curated since the beginning of the war. Riyadh helped facilitate a prisoner swap in August 2022 between Ukraine and Russia. Prince Mohammed bin Salman was careful not to condemn Russia when it invaded Ukraine, nor slap sanctions on Moscow. Years earlier, Putin had warmly welcomed the crown prince at the 2018 G20 summit, weeks after the assassination of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, which had left Riyadh an international pariah. The mutual, tacit support of each other, plus Trump's election, has facilitated Saudi Arabia's influence today.Here in France, the organising committee of the 2030 Winter Olympics will be officialised this Tuesday. The announcement had been delayed by several months. As Le Parisien reports, gold-medal winning biathlete Martin Fourcade was initially tipped to be president of the organising committee. However, he quit spectacularly earlier this month, saying his vision did not align with that of the politicians from the regions where the Games will take place. Fourcade has been replaced by Edgar Grospiron, a gold medal-winning skier.There are many concerns around the financial and ecological cost of hosting such Games. Left-wing French daily Libération slams the event, calling it an incredible farce set against an domestic political battle and coming to the detriment of the environment.Before the 2030 Games, Milan will host the 2026 Winter Games in less than 12 months. As The Washington Post reports, they too will be a logistical nightmare. They will also be the most spread out Games ever, stretching hundreds of kilometres between Italy, Switzerland and Austria. The trip between the men's and women's downhill skiing venues could take up to 12 hours. Multiple athletes' villages will be improvised, instead of having one for the cities and one of the mountains. Organisers say the goal is to reduce costs by using existing infrastructure. The tradeoff, however, will be the large distances to travel.Elsewhere, Oscar-winning actress Julianne Moore says she's shocked that a children's book she wrote is at risk of being banned in schools. The Guardian reports that her 2007 children's book "Freckleface Strawberry" has come under review of part of a book ban in US schools. Moore's book is about a girl who dislikes her freckles but learns to live with them. It's under review as part of a book ban in schools serving children of US military personnel and civilian defence employees. This is part of Trump's executive orders regarding so-called gender ideology and racial indoctrination in schools.Finally, we leave you with an uplifting story. Eduard and Angelique, 101 and 99 years old respectively, have set a new record for being the longest married couple in Europe. They've been married since January 20, 1943: that's a union lasting 82 years, a European record according to the European Supercentenarian Organisation! You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

L'émission 28 Minutes du 07/12/2024 Ce samedi, Renaud Dély décrypte l’actualité avec le regard international de nos clubistes : Richard Werly, correspondant à Paris du quotidien suisse “Blick.fr” ; Gil Mihaely, historien et directeur de publication de la revue “Conflits” ; Eva Morletto, correspondante à Paris pour le magazine italien “Grazia” et le dessinateur de presse Nicolas Vadot. En Syrie, le retour de la menace islamiste ?En début de semaine, les factions “rebelles” du nord de la Syrie et les islamistes radicaux du groupe HTS (ancienne branche syrienne d’Al-Qaïda) ont conquis Alep, la deuxième ville du pays. Plus récemment, ils sont entrés dans Hama, à environ 200 kilomètres de Damas. Ces villes étaient jusque-là contrôlées par le régime syrien de Bachar Al-Assad, qui se retrouve fragilisé par cette guerre. En 2019, l’État islamique et son califat, autoproclamés en juin 2014, avaient été officiellement défaits en Syrie par la communauté internationale. La ville d’Alep avait été reprise aux forces rebelles syriennes par le régime de Bachar Al-Assad en 2016. La crise en France vue de l’étranger : péripétie ou déclassement durable ?“Merde” titre “The Economist” en Une de son numéro hebdomadaire avec en sous-titre : “La France entre dans l’inconnu”. La presse internationale suit activement la crise politique en cours en France, dont la censure du gouvernement Barnier est le nouvel épisode. “La France danse au bord du volcan”, s’inquiète la presse allemande qui compare la situation à celle de la Grèce en 2010, un État lourdement endetté avec un appareil politique dysfonctionnel. D’une manière générale, l’Europe et Bruxelles redoutent une instabilité politique française sans fin, qui affaiblirait par effet domino l’Union européenne. Nous recevons l’artiste et performeuse italienne Romina De Novellis. Sa dernière performance baptisée “Star - 100 % d’origine italienne” a eu lieu le 22 novembre au Centre Pompidou, à Paris. Elle y dénonce la corruption des systèmes de l’agro-mafia qui se cache derrière la production de tomates en Italie. Son œuvre est le fruit d’une longue période d’enquête dans les Pouilles, menée par l’artiste qui est aussi anthropologue de formation.  Valérie Brochard nous donne des nouvelles de nos chers voisins belges. Depuis le 1er décembre, les droits des travailleurs et travailleuses du sexe sont régis par un contrat de travail, après une loi adoptée en mai par le Parlement. La Belgique, qui avait déjà décriminalisé la prostitution en 2022, devient le premier pays au monde à accorder un véritable statut aux personnes l’exerçant. Jean-Mathieu Pernin zappe sur la télévision américaine qui réagit à la grâce présidentielle accordée par Joe Biden à son fils Hunter Biden. Il attendait de connaître sa peine dans des affaires de détention illégale d'armes à feu et de fraude fiscale. Cette décision pourrait-elle affaiblir le camp démocrate ? Ce week-end, Olivier Boucreux décerne le titre d’employé de la semaine au prince héritier d’Arabie saoudite, Mohammed Ben Salman, qui a reçu Emmanuel Macron cette semaine.

À l'occasion de la visite officielle d'Emmanuel Macron en Arabie saoudite, notre émission du jour s'intéresse à son dirigeant de facto, le prince héritier Mohammed ben Salmane. Celui que Joe Biden qualifiait de "paria" en 2020, dans le sillage de l'affaire de l'assassinat de Jamal Khashoggi, est devenu en quelques années un partenaire incontournable. Comment et pourquoi ? Parlons-en avec Hasni Abidi, directeur du Centre d'études et de recherche sur le monde arabe et méditerranéen (Cermam), Karim Sader, politologue et consultant spécialiste des pays du Golfe et Christophe Dansette, journaliste à France 24.

This week on Talk World Radio we're talking about the crime of war in Palestine with Raed Jarrar, advocacy director for DAWN -- the organization founded by slain writer Jamal Khashoggi and found at dawnmena.org.

The sudden ascent of Mohammed bin Salman from an obscure royal heir to the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia — the country's de facto ruler — has fascinated Jonathan Rugman, an author and longtime correspondent in the Middle East. Jonathan's latest BBC documentary, “The Kingdom,” traces MBS's life from an unruly youth to a series of Machiavellian maneuvers to cut ahead of cousins and uncles in the line of royal succession. Jonathan's reporting illuminates a brash but secretive young autocrat whose wealth and power have few equals anywhere on the planet. After years of high-profile murder, jailings, and crackdowns, a formidable question remains: What more does MBS want? Jonathan Rugman is a Visiting Lecturer in the journalism department at City, University of London, who has reported from some 50 countries during his 30-year journalism career. He is the author of “Ataturk's Children – Turkey and the Kurds” and “The Killing in the Consulate,” in which he investigated the murder of the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. His numerous awards include a BAFTA for his coverage of the Paris terror attacks of 2015.

Finn Lau, a Hong Kong activist, was taking his daily walk along London's River Thames when Chinese government thugs beat him up. Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was filing paperwork at a Saudi consulate in Turkey when Saudi government assassins murdered and dismembered him. And Bi-2, a dissident Russian-Belarusian rock band, narrowly avoided being forcibly sent to Russia while on tour in Thailand. All had fled repression and thought they were safe in exile. But increasingly, governments are reaching beyond their borders to target critics – is anywhere safe? Sarah Yager: Washington Director at Human Rights Watch

In the final episode of this four-part series, Rog and Tommy trace the massive flow of Saudi money into Hollywood, Silicon Valley and Wall Street, and how the biggest venture capitalists and A-list celebrities seem to no longer care about Saudi Arabia's human rights record. They also look back at the history of the US-Saudi relationship, and how President Biden went from pleading to make Saudi Arabia a “pariah” to traveling there to fist bump Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Jeddah. And finally, they dive into the possible motivations behind Saudi Arabia's investments, from the need to diversify the Saudi economy, to whitewashing the murder of Jamal Khashoggi and changing the subject from other human rights violations. Despite all the depressing news, Rog and Tommy try to find glimmers of hope where grassroots activism and football can lead the way in creating a more just world. All of this and more, on the final episode of World Corrupt, Season 2.

El mes pasado el secretario de Estado, Antony Blinken, viajó a Oriente Próximo para seguir de cerca la crisis en curso desde los ataques del 7 de octubre. Fue una gira muy ambiciosa que recorrió nueve países y que comenzó por Riad, la capital de Arabia Saudí. Por esa misma ciudad ha pasado Blinken ya varias veces desde el año pasado y aun seguramente le queden unas cuantas. Aunque Arabia Saudí no haga siquiera frontera con Israel, su papel en este conflicto es fundamental para los planes que Joe Biden tiene para aquella región. Se encuentra en pleno año electoral con los índices de aprobación por los suelos y quiere mostrar a los votantes resultados tangibles de su política exterior. A grandes rasgos el plan de Biden, la que han dado en llamar “doctina Biden para Oriente Medio” es que Arabia Saudí retome las conversaciones con Israel que quedaron en suspenso tras el comienzo de la guerra de Gaza. De estas conversaciones saldría un acuerdo similar a los que Israel ya ha suscrito con otros países árabes como los Emiratos, Baréin o Marruecos dentro del marco de los Acuerdos de Abraham. Pero los saudíes no quieren dar su brazo a torcer, o al menos no hacerlo sin pedir mucho a cambio. Exigen el reconocimiento por parte de Israel de la existencia de un Estado palestino y el compromiso firme de avanzar hacia él. Ahí el plan hace aguas porque los israelíes no quieren hablar sobre ese tema en este momento. La guerra aún no ha concluido y sigue en el aire la incógnita de qué pasará con la franja de Gaza una vez el ejército israelí haya puesto fin a la operación. Pero Biden no se quiere apear de su “doctrina” y no tiene mucho tiempo para convertirla en una realidad palpable ya que las elecciones son dentro de nueve meses y el tiempo apremia. De conseguirlo, ese acuerdo representaría un importante tanto diplomático para un presidente cuyo historial en política exterior presenta muchas más sombras que luces, empezando por la retirada de Afganistán y terminando por su incapacidad para sacar adelante en el Congreso el último paquete de ayuda a Ucrania. Para los saudíes también sería una victoria. Quieren que ese acuerdo con Israel venga acompañado de otro con Estados Unidos relativo a la defensa. Eso sólo sería posible con el consentimiento del Senado donde los demócratas tienen mayoría por lo que en la Casa Blanca lo ven como algo factible. Pero que sea factible no significa ni mucho menos que sea fácil, todo lo contrario. La relación de Biden con el príncipe heredero saudita Mohamed bin Salman es complicada. Bin Salman recuerda cómo Biden durante la campaña presidencial de 2020 calificó a su país como un Estado paria tras el asesinato de Jamal Khashoggi dos años antes en Estambul. Nada más llegar a la presidencia Biden sometió a revisión las relaciones con Arabia Saudí, que tradicionalmente fue el gran aliado de Estados Unidos en Oriente Medio. Ahora que Biden anda escaso de tiempo Bin Salman podría hacérselo pagar y dilatar la cuestión hasta después de las elecciones. Él, a diferencia del presidente de EEUU, no tiene problemas de tiempo y está en posición de exigir contraprestaciones. Algunas podrían concederlas, otras no. La “doctrina Biden para Oriente Medio” llega tarde y en el peor momento. La paz en aquella convulsa zona del mundo es deseable, sin duda, pero se escapa con mucho a lo que un presidente en apuros pueda hacer en el tramo final de su mandato.

The term “spyware” refers to software that's designed to infiltrate, monitor, and extract sensitive information from a user's device without their knowledge or consent. Perhaps the most infamous example of the harm that spyware can do is the 2018 killing of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi government operatives, who used spyware to track Khashoggi before luring him to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, where he was murdered. But spyware use is not just limited to repressive autocracies. It's frequently both developed and used by liberal democracies, a practice that has generated increasing concern over the past few years.To talk about spyware and its potential regulation under international law, Alan Rozenshtein, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota and Senior Editor at Lawfare, spoke with Fionnuala Ní Aoláin, a Regents Professor and the Robina Chair in Law, Public Policy, and Society at the University of Minnesota Law School, where she also directs the Human Rights Center. Most importantly for this conversation, she's also the United Nation's Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism, a position she's held since 2017. As part of that role, she recently published a report on the Global Regulation of the Counter-Terrorism Spyware Technology Trade. Alan spoke with Fionnuala about her findings and what, if anything, can be done to make spyware compliant with human rights.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare. Hosted on Acast.

This is the first episode of "Shoot the Messenger: Espionage, Murder and Pegasus Spyware" from PRX & Exile Content Studio.  It is scary stuff! A new serialized, investigative-reporting podcast that does deep dives on international news stories that warrant an investigation. This first episode asks, "What really happened to the murdered Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi?" He wasn't just targeted - he was hunted, and the first weapon used against him was digital - a sophisticated spyware called Pegasus. How did the spyware come to be, how does it work, and just how vulnerable are you?

Ahmed Gatnash is an author, activist and co-founder of the Kawaakibi Foundation. In this interview, we discuss how the hope of the Arab Spring has been ruthlessly suppressed, meaning the middle east is further from democracy than ever. It's a breathtaking story of brave activists fighting Twitter's exploitation, Jamal Khashoggi's murder and the blackmailing of Jeff Bezos. - - - - The history of the Middle East is a modern tragedy: the cradle of civilisation has been exploited by powerful Western interests that have enabled corrupt and cruel authoritarian rule to dominate the region. Democratic movements have long struggled to gain any traction. However, a wave of optimism spread through the region in 2011 as the Arab Spring saw numerous popular uprisings. The ruthless response indicated that the region's path to freedom will be a long one. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Except in the Middle East. The wave of protests predicated on the pent-up anger at decades of corruption and economic stagnation heralded an era of extreme brutality against citizens throughout the region. The cruel irony is that the Western social media technology that enabled the coordination of demonstrations, has now been effectively harnessed by those seeking to protect the established centres of power. The cruelty lies in the knowing actions of those directly involved in the violent repression of dissent. It also lies in the wanton ignorance of those living in the West. Those who marginalise a continent of people. Those who prioritise profit over other considerations. Those who talk of freedom but know nothing of those who are staking their lives for freedom in today's world. This is a tale about brave activists fighting for the rights we in the West take for granted to be provided to their peers in the Middle East. It is a story of an outsized fight where those fighting for democracy are facing entrenched and ruthless authoritarians, self-interested Westerners and a largely indifferent media. It is an interview you need to hear. We all need to check our privilege.
