This week, Roqayah and Kumars are joined by returning guest Amanda Yee, an independent journalist and organizer based in Brooklyn. Amanda is also the co-host of The China Report on BreakThrough News and the managing editor of Liberation News. Her writing has appeared in Monthly Review Online, The Real News Network, CounterPunch, and Peoples Dispatch. Amanda talks us through the implications of Trump's “Liberation Day” tariff war on the global market as well as its impact on China, which has inflicted a 125% tariff on US products. Amanda discusses China's defensive economic strategy under the leadership of Xi Jinping's, which has helped prepare China for a market showdown with the United States, and how China will weather potential setbacks. The crew also delves into China's cultural exchange of ideas and the deprogramming of Americans—namely on social media platforms like the Chinese platform RedNote—which has undermined the United States' dissemination of anti-China propaganda.

This week, Roqayah and Kumars share their thoughts on Israel's ongoing ethnic cleansing of Gaza, including escalating violence and displacement of its population.  They also discuss the Northern front, i.e. Lebanon, where since October 8th Hezballah and Israel have been engaging in a mounting offensive that has achieved a number of objectives for the Lebanese resistance faction while also directing Israel away from engaging to the fullest of its military capabilities in Gaza. They also highlight the shared history between South Lebanon and Palestine, and why there remains a fervent and unshakeable bond between the two peoples until today.

Up to half of women will have a UTI at some point in their life. Earlier this year the NHS launched a new awareness campaign which the filmaker and author Kate Muir has criticised for not mentioning vaginal oestrogen as a treatment. Kate joins Krupa Padhy alongside Dr Olivia Hum, a GP who is on the Council of the British Menopause Society. Dr Ronny Cheung speaks to Krupa about the double-edge sword of children building their immunities in their early years and the disruption caused to working parents and carers. What do parents need to know about caring for a child with seasonal colds and coughs? Sally Snowman is the last official lighthouse keeper in the United States and at the end of this month she will retire after two decades of service. She's the first and last woman to be the lighthouse keeper for Boston Light in Massachusetts. She joins Krupa to discuss what it's like being a lighthouse keeper and how she feels about leaving it.We know that Christmas and New Year, although filled with joy for some, can put a really big strain on relationships and it can be a time when people in an unhappy relationship decide to end them. But is there ever a good way to break up a relationship? And is it ever acceptable or kinder to end something by text? Krupa is joined by Olivia Petter, journalist and author of Millennial Love and Vicky Spratt, journalist and documentary maker.The award winning comedian, writer, playwright and actor Meera Syal – known for her comedy series such as Goodness Gracious Me and The Kumars - has been talking to Ros Akins on Radio 4's Media Show, we can hear some of that interview.Presenter: Krupa Padhy Producer: Emma Pearce
