It's being called the by-election of the century. If Andy Burnham returns to Westminster, he could be one step closer to replacing Keir Starmer as Labour leader and perhaps becoming Britain's next Prime Minister. With Starmer facing mounting criticism and Reform UK surging in the polls, Burnham has emerged as one of the few Labour figures capable of uniting voters across the political spectrum. Could he be the antidote to Britain's leadership turmoil and the rise of populism?Kylie Morris and Latika Bourke speak with Rob Ford, he's been covering elections for the BBC for two decades and knows a thing or two about leadership tussles.Rob Ford: Author and commentator, Robert Ford, Professor of Political Science, University of Manchester

As the world's attention shifts to the Strait of Hormuz, a group of Palestinian human rights organisations have filed an application against Australia's Minister for Defence, Richard Marles.

Defence denies the supply of Australian weapons or ammunition to Israel. Palestinian human rights lawyer, Ahmed Abofoul, was born and raised in Gaza. He spoke to Kylie Morris and Latika Bourke while he was in Australia with human rights organisation, Al-Haq, about leaving Gaza for The Hague; and what the legal application could achieve. Guest: Ahmed Abofoul, human rights lawyer and researcher with Al-HaqGet in touch:We'd love to hear from you!

Russia has crossed the threshold of losing more soldiers than it's able to mobilise. Some troops are paying their commanders to get a spot at the back of the Russian forces. Others are deserting entirely. And when soldiers do return home, they often bring the violence with them.President Putin controls a powerful pro-war narrative, which helped rationalise this war of choice to his people. But are the effects of this propaganda beginning to wane? And after a harsh winter, what has changed within Ukraine?As Russia fails to bring this war to a close, and the world moves to phase out fossil fuels, Russia's main export, how much longer can Russia hold on to the pretence of global superpower status?Guest: Peter Pomerantsev -- Kiev-born writer; political analyst; senior fellow at the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University; co-director of the Arena Initiative; co-founder of The Reckoning Project; author of Nothing is True and Everything is Possible and This Is Not Propaganda.Geraldine's further reading recommendations:The Closing of the Russian Mind: How Putin's Ideology Took the Nation Hostage, by Andrei Kolesnikov.Inside the belly of the beast, by Noonie Minogue.Russia Starts Here: Real Lives in the Ruins of Empire, by Howard Amos.Get in touch:We'd love to hear from you!

A ceasefire is declared after Donald Trump agrees to a two-week pause in attacks on Iran, contingent on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. But is this a genuine de-escalation or a strategic pause?

As the war in the Middle East rages, Israel is waging offensives on multiple fronts. The state is pounding Iran and Beirut with missiles and drones. Ground troops are pushing deep into southern Lebanon and occupy half of Gaza. The expansion of illegal settlements in the West Bank has become "unconstrained" and increasingly violent. Is this Benjamin Netanyahu pursuing his expansionist dream of "Greater Israel"?

Could the war in the Middle East be over in a little over a week, or is that wishful thinking? With global oil markets in unprecedented territory as they react to Trump's ever-changing timeline on the US-Israel war on Iran, the prospect of peace seems a distant reality. The New York Times chief diplomatic correspondent, Steven Erlanger, however, offers a more hopeful view. He speaks to Geraldine Doogue and Latika Bourke about the far-reaching ramifications of the war, why Albanese was quicker to support Trump than Europe, and why the upcoming mid-terms may prompt Trump to walk away from the conflict sooner than we think.Guest: Steven Erlanger, the chief diplomatic correspondent for the New York Times based in BerlinGet in touch:We'd love to hear from you!
