Podcast appearances and mentions of Muhammad Yunus

Rajini Vaidyanathan, BBC News presenter and correspondent, speaks to Muhammad Yunus, interim leader of Bangladesh.The 84-year-old is perhaps one of the world's best-known Bangladeshis. Described as the banker to the world's poor, he gained international recognition as a Nobel prize-winning economist, who founded the Grameen microfinance bank, which delivered small loans to economically deprived people.It was a model applauded by many and is one which now operates across more than 100 countries worldwide. But it's also a model which was criticised by his political rival - Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who accused Mr Yunus of sucking blood from the poor. Her government made a series of allegations against him, including embezzlement, all of which he denies.And it was the overthrow of Sheikh Hasina's government last August that saw Muhammad Yunus thrust into the political spotlight.Student-led protests saw thousands take to the streets in an uprising against her Awami league government, which was accused of election rigging, human rights abuses and jailing critics.When Ms Hasina fled to neighbouring India, student leaders picked Muhammad Yunus to unite a divided nation. As well as promising to stamp out corruption, he's also faced the challenges of managing a refugee crisis on his doorstep and navigating cuts to foreign aid.So, after nearly a year in the job, how is he faring?

The Israeli military is continuing its strikes on Iran - following overnight explosions at Mehrabad airport in Tehran. On Friday Israeli planes struck Iranian nuclear and military sites assassinating several military leaders and nine top nuclear scientists. Iranian state media says sixty civilians including twenty children were also killed in an Israeli air strike on a residential complex in the capital. In response Iran has carried out missile strikes on Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Tehran has warned the US, France and Britain that their bases and ships in the region will be targeted if they help stop its strikes on Israel. Also, we speak to Muhammad Yunus, the interim leader of Bangladesh.

On June 7, on the eve of Eid ul Azha, the Chief Adviser to the interim government in Bangladesh, Dr. Muhammad Yunus, delivered a televised address to the nation, promising to hold elections in April 2026. He also announced that the country would witness the launch of the ‘July Proclamation', which had been earlier planned by student activists to “bury” the Constitution of Bangladesh, as it is linked to the founder of Bangladesh and Awami League co-founder, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Prof. Yunus said that the document will “include a list of reform proposals, agreed upon by all parties, aimed at building a welfare-oriented state.” As the interim government of Bangladesh has announced that there could be constitutional reforms, there are concerns that the country is slipping into authoritarianism. Is Bangladesh slipping into authoritarianism? Here we discuss the question. Guests: Smruti S.

New cash is expected to be printed in phases beginning in May. But Bangladeshis report they are currently stuck with old and unusable currency, as the national mint has yet to issue replacement currency and lacks the capacity to print more than three notes at a time. Meanwhile, public ATMs continue to dispense old and worn-out banknotes, with merchants reluctantly accepting them and banks refusing to exchange them. Through all this, the central bank of Bangladesh sits on nearly 15,000 crore taka ($1.28 billion) worth of old notes in vaults, but the interim government has refused to release them, deepening public frustration.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Ichha Sharma.Today is the 4th of April and here are the headlines.The Trump administration's new tariffs on global trade partners, including a 27% duty on imports from India, will affect sectors like diamonds, smartphones, solar PV modules, and apparel. While certain products like critical minerals, energy products, and pharmaceuticals may be exempt, most of India's top exports, including pharmaceuticals worth $8 billion, are not. Petroleum oils derived from bituminous minerals could benefit, but tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automobiles remain unchanged. These measures could reshape trade relations with India, despite limited relief for some sectors.After nearly 12 hours of debate in the Lok Sabha, the Waqf (Amendment) Bill moved to the Rajya Sabha for further discussion yesterday. BJP MPs accused the Opposition of spreading misinformation, while TMC MP Mohammad Nadimul Islam criticized the Bill as cultural vandalism, accusing the Centre of seeking excessive control over Waqf. The Lok Sabha passed the Bill with 288 votes in favor and 232 votes against. The amendment now awaits a decision in the Rajya Sabha after being tabled by Kiren Rijiju.The Indian Army accused Pakistan of violating the ceasefire along the Line of Control in Poonch's Krishna Ghati sector. According to Army PRO Lt Colonel Suneel Bartwal, Pakistani forces intruded across the LoC and triggered a mine blast on April 1, followed by unprovoked firing. Indian forces responded in a "controlled and calibrated manner," keeping the situation under close watch. Tensions have risen despite the ceasefire agreement, with the Army asserting that India's borders remain secure and that further developments are being monitored.Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma strongly condemned the statement by Bangladesh interim government advisor Muhammad Yunus, who claimed that Bangladesh is "the only guardian of the ocean" for Northeast India. Yunus had stated that Bangladesh holds a unique position to benefit from the economic possibilities of the region. Sarma called the remark offensive, highlighting its connection to India's vulnerable "Chicken Neck" corridor, which connects the Northeast with the rest of India, emphasizing India's territorial integrity and strategic concerns.Bajinder Singh, a self-proclaimed Christian pastor, was sentenced to life imprisonment in a rape case dating back to 2018 by a Mohali court. Singh had been convicted for luring a woman under the pretext of helping her settle abroad, only to rape her and threaten to post a video of the act online. The court convicted him under IPC sections related to rape, voluntary hurt, and criminal intimidation. Singh had been arrested at Delhi airport in 2018 and released on bail until his recent conviction.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 1st of April and here are the headlines.Domestic Stock Market Crashes Ahead of Trump's Tariff AnnouncementOn Tuesday, Indian stock markets experienced a sharp decline due to massive selling, driven by uncertainty over the upcoming US President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs set to be implemented on April 2. The BSE Sensex plunged by 1.69%, losing 1,313 points, while the Nifty fell by 1.41%, down 332 points. Investors are awaiting details on how these tariffs will impact various sectors globally, with market reactions likely hinging on the specifics of the tariff announcement tomorrow, said VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments.Assam CM Condemns Bangladesh Official's Statement on Northeast IndiaAssam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma strongly condemned the statement by Bangladesh interim government advisor Muhammad Yunus, who claimed that Bangladesh is "the only guardian of the ocean" for Northeast India. Yunus had stated that Bangladesh holds a unique position to benefit from the economic possibilities of the region. Sarma called the remark offensive, highlighting its connection to India's vulnerable "Chicken Neck" corridor, which connects the Northeast with the rest of India, emphasizing India's territorial integrity and strategic concerns.Ruckus in Lok Sabha Over Question Hour AdjournmentA heated scene unfolded in the Lok Sabha after the Question Hour concluded, with Samajwadi Party MPs protesting the decision and demanding that Akhilesh Yadav be allowed to speak. Despite Speaker Om Birla assuring that Yadav would get time during Zero Hour, the MPs continued with slogans and placards, leading to the adjournment of the House until 2 pm. In the Rajya Sabha, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge called for an immediate decadal census and caste census, highlighting the delay's impact on welfare schemes. The Waqf (Amendment) Bill is scheduled for discussion tomorrow.Mohali Court Sentences Pastor to Life for 2018 Rape CaseBajinder Singh, a self-proclaimed Christian pastor, was sentenced to life imprisonment in a rape case dating back to 2018 by a Mohali court. Singh had been convicted for luring a woman under the pretext of helping her settle abroad, only to rape her and threaten to post a video of the act online. The court convicted him under IPC sections related to rape, voluntary hurt, and criminal intimidation. Singh had been arrested at Delhi airport in 2018 and released on bail until his recent conviction.Trump's Reciprocal Tariffs Could Lead to Uncertainty in Global TradeAs trade tensions escalate, all eyes are on the US President's announcement of reciprocal tariffs scheduled for April 2. Trump's plan to impose tariffs matching those charged by other countries has raised concerns about how the levies will be rolled out. With over 200 trading partners and thousands of tariff categories, the US could face an administrative nightmare. The initial focus is likely on the 20 countries the US has trade agreements with, with some speculating a blanket tariff could simplify the process but complicate global trade relations.That's all for the today. This was the CatchuUp on 3 Things by The Indian Express

Der Trend zu Investitionen in klimaschonende Technologien und Nachhaltigkeit scheint vorerst gestoppt. Energiekonzerne fahren ihre Projekte zurück oder verschieben sie in die Zukunft. Unternehmen lösen sich von den ESG-Kriterien für ökologische, soziale und ethisch vertretbare Unternehmensführung. „Wir sind in einer grünen Depression“, sagt die deutsch-kanadische Unternehmerin Saskia Bruysten, die einst mit Nobelpreisträger Muhammad Yunus daran arbeitete, Geld in sinnstiftende Projekte zu lenken. Trotz der aktuellen Lage aber will Bruysten an der Grundrichtung festhalten, wie sie im Podcast „Die Stunde Null“ erklärt: „Langfristig kommen wir um die Dekarbonisierung nicht herum, wir müssen diesen Weg weitergehen. Für mich sind Climate Tech und Erneuerbare Energien in Europa die Schlüsselindustrien der Zukunft. Wir haben als Europäer auch die Chance, da Marktführer zu sein.“ Bruystens Vehikel ist der Fonds Carbon Equity, mit dem vor allem in Wagniskapital und Private Equity investiert wird, also in Unternehmen, die nicht an der Börse notiert sind. „Ich kann aus unserer Erfahrung sagen, dass man sehr profitabel in Klimalösungen investieren kann“, sagt Bruysten. Von klassischen ESG-Fonds hält die Unternehmerin wenig: „ESG heißt nicht unbedingt etwas Gutes, sondern zunächst einmal zeugt es nur von gutem Reporting.“ // Weitere Themen: Gehört das Habecksche Heizungsgesetz abgeschafft? +++Eine Produktion von RTL+ Podcast.Hosts: Nils Kreimeier und Martin Kaelble.Redaktion: Lucile Gagnière.Produktion: Andolin Sonnen. +++Weitere Infos zu unseren Werbepartnern finden Sie hier: https://linktr.ee/diestundenull +++60 Tage lang kostenlos Capital+ lesen - Zugriff auf alle digitalen Artikel, Inhalte aus dem Heft und das ePaper.

Im Sommer 2024 musste die autokratische Regierung nach landesweiten Protesten zurücktreten. Seitdem führt eine Interimsregierung unter Nobelpreisträger Muhammed Yunus – bekannt als «Banker der Armen» - die Geschäfte. Doch die Gewalt nimmt zu, die Preise bleiben hoch und Reformen fehlen. Shima Akhter, 24, geht schon wieder demonstrieren. «Die Situation ist gefährlicher als im Juli und August». Damals hatten Studierende nach wochenlangen Protesten das autokratische Regime der Regierungschefin Sheikh Hasina aus dem Amt verjagt. Mehr als 1400 Menschen verloren nach UNO-Schätzungen ihr Leben im Kugelhagel der Polizei. Hasina und ihre Partei Awami League hatten das Land 15 Jahre lang mit eiserner Faust regiert, die Wahlen gefälscht und Meinungsfreiheit unterdrückt. Nach ihrem Rücktritt versprach Nobelpreisträger Muhammad Yunus demokratische Reformen. Doch die Kriminalität steigt, die extreme Armut auch. Zehntausende Textilarbeiterinnen und -arbeiter haben ihre Arbeit verloren. Das Vertrauen schwindet, dass Dr. Yunus und seine Interimsregierung die Lage in den Griff bekommen. «Die Flitterwochen sind vorbei», urteilt Polit-Ökonom Parviz Abbasi aus Dhaka. Jeder habe zwar gewusst, dass der Weg steinig werde. Aber niemand habe realisiert, dass die Übergangsregierung nicht in der Lage sein würde, Antworten zu liefern.

Bangladesh is on the brink of a major political shift. With the army reportedly stepping in and Muhammad Yunus under scrutiny, the nation's future hangs in the balance. Will Sheikh Hasina make a comeback, or is Bangladesh heading toward a deeper crisis? Unpack the unfolding power struggle, the warning signs of instability, and what it means for the country's future.

Bangladesh's development story in the 21st century is often regarded as a model of resilience and progress. But on 5 August 2024, student-led protests and public unrest caused Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh's prime minister, to resign and flee to India. An interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, took over. Six months on, Bangladesh's political and economic future is unclear. Imran Matin, Executive Director, BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD), is one of the experts in Bangladesh who are attempting to discover and communicate a clearer picture of the country's present – and its options for the future. He talks to Tim Phillips about how evidence-based policy can give the country a path forward.

Is Bangladesh challenging India at the border, and has America truly abandoned Muhammad Yunus? In this compelling discussion, Sanjay Dixit and Shoaib Chaudhry explore the escalating tensions at the India-Bangladesh border and the shifting dynamics around Nobel laureate Yunus. They analyze the implications for India-Bangladesh relations, the potential role of PM Modi, and the broader geopolitical consequences.

It is tempting to play Pakistan vs India. There is very little, if anything at all, that Pakistan can bring Bangladesh except political, philosophical and sectarian baggage. India is the only neighbour that matters to you, and Bangladesh is our most valued friend in the east. Why would you want to mess up this relationship?

Has Afghanistan targeted Pakistan's nuclear facilities? Rajiv Narayanan and Aadi Achint discuss this alarming development and its implications for regional security. The conversation also delves into Muhammad Yunus's growing fear of Donald Trump's policies and how global power dynamics are shifting.

Are two of India's biggest adversaries already out of the game? Sanjay Dixit discusses the downfall of figures like Justin Trudeau and Muhammad Yunus, and speculates whether China and Pakistan could be next in line.

*) Israeli invasion in Gaza claims first civilian casualty of 2025 The New Year dawns tragically for Palestinians as Israeli forces escalate in Gaza. An air strike hit the Abu Dhaher family home in Bureij camp, killing eight-year-old Adam Farhallah—the first Palestinian civilian casualty of twenty-twenty-five. Meanwhile, National Campaign to Retrieve Martyrs' Bodies, a non-governmental organisation said Israel held the bodies of one-hundred-ninety-eight Palestinians in twenty-twenty-four. Separately Israeli media alleges that Hamas has proposed a week-long ceasefire, offering to provide a list of Israeli captives by the fourth day, awaiting Israel's response on extending peace or resuming conflict. *) South Korea warns against obstructing Yoon Suk-yeol's arrest South Korean authorities have warned that anyone obstructing the arrest of impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol could face prosecution. Supporters gathered outside his Seoul residence as officials pledged to enforce the arrest warrant by January-six. Yoon, stripped of his duties and facing insurrection charges, could face life imprisonment or the death penalty. His legal team has challenged the warrant, calling it “illegal.” *) Europe's Russian gas era ends as Ukraine transit stops Russian gas supplies to Europe through Ukraine ceased on New Year's Day as a five-year transit deal expired. It marks the end of a decades-long era of Russian dominance in the European gas market. The move comes as Europe has significantly reduced its reliance on Russian energy following the war in Ukraine. While the immediate market impact may be limited, the loss of this crucial supply route has significant geopolitical implications for both Russia and Europe. The halt in gas flows will have a significant impact on countries like Moldova, which relied on this pipeline. *) Thousands in Bangladesh call for prosecution of ousted PM Hasina Thousands rallied at the iconic Shaheed Minar in Dhaka, demanding justice for victims of Bangladesh's July uprising. The "March for Unity," led by students, called for ousted PM Sheikh Hasina's prosecution and a ban on her Awami League party. Hasina fled to India on August-five amid escalating violence, leaving behind a fractured nation. Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus's interim government now seeks international support for justice, while Hasina dismisses charges as a “political witch hunt.” *) US military court rules 9/11 plea deals can proceed A US military appeals court upheld plea deals for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two accomplices. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin had tried to invalidate the agreements, but a judge ruled he acted too late. The deals could spare the trio the death penalty in exchange for guilty pleas. Meanwhile, the Pentagon repatriated a Guantanamo detainee to Tunisia, marking another chapter in the detention facility's controversial history, as 26 inmates remain.

Am 5. November waren es genau drei Monate, seit Bangladeschs Autokratin Sheikh Hasina aus dem Amt gejagt wurde - nach wochenlangen Protesten im ganzen Land. Nur drei Monate, so hieß es Anfang August, solle die neu eingesetzte Übergangsregierung das Land führen und dann den Weg zu demokratischen Wahlen frei machen. Doch schnell wurde klar: Drei Monate reichen nicht, um das Land auf einen neuen Kurs zu bringen. Durch eine Regierung, die aus einer bunten Mischung aus Experten, Beamten, Aktivisten und Studenten besteht: Frauen und Männer, die angetreten sind, unter Führung von Friedensnobelpreisträger Muhammad Yunus ein neues, freies Bangladesch zu schaffen. Ein Experiment, von dem man nicht weiß, ob es gelingt. ARD-Südostasien-Korrespondentin Charlotte Horn berichtet.

Quinze ans de pouvoir autoritaire, quinze années balayées en un peu plus d'un mois de manifestations. Le Bangladesh a écrit une page de son histoire cet été. Sheikh Hasina, fille du père de l'indépendance du pays, était fermement accrochée à la tête de l'État. La « Bégum de fer » n'a organisé aucune élection libre depuis son arrivée au pouvoir en 2009. Lorsque les étudiants se sont mobilisés en juillet, elle a répondu par une répression sévère qui a fait plus de 1 000 morts, avant d'être contrainte à l'exil. Elle part en Inde. C'était le 5 août. En plus d'un mois de contestation, un désir de justice et d'égalité a traversé la société bangladaise. Appelé en sauveur, le prix Nobel de la paix, ancienne cible privilégiée de la justice de son pays, Muhammad Yunus est désormais à la tête du gouvernement de transition. Muhammad Yunus que Nicolas Rocca a pu accompagner de Paris jusqu'à Dacca, où il allait donc prendre les rênes du pays.« Bangladesh : 36 jours pour une révolution », un grand reportage de Nicolas Rocca.

Bangladesh's economy is spiraling into chaos, with rising inflation, unemployment, and a crumbling financial system pushing the nation into unprecedented turmoil. Amidst this crisis, Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus faces allegations of shielding terrorist networks, raising serious questions about his role and influence. Join Aaliya Shah and Sanjay Dixit as they delves deep into the economic and political collapse of Bangladesh, uncovering startling revelations about the connections between global figures and extremist networks.

"Bangladesh has come out of a lot of difficulty in the past. Bangladesh is a place of hope, is a place of resilience ... We could again come together as a nation, with the ertailers and the brands supporting us, and make the transformation. It's a huge, huge opportunity."Rousing words from this week's compelling interview with manufacturer Shafiq Hassan, of the Echotex manufacturing facility in Gazipur, Bangladesh.Last year Bangladesh was ranked the third-largest exporter of clothing globally (after China and the European Union) exporting USD $38.4 billion worth of garments. The nation is home to over 40K garment factories of various sizes, and over 4 million garment workers.A decade after Rana Plaza, much progress has been made, including around environmental sustainability. Bangladesh now has 186 LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified factories, and, according to Reuters, lays claim to 9 of world's top 10 'green' garment factories (considering carbon, water and energy footprint, waste, logistics, and using more sustainable materials).Clare interviewed Shafiq in London, in September 2024, a little over month after peaceful students protests in Bangladesh toppled ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, then presiding over an increasingly corrupt and authoritarian regime. Her government's response to the protests - appalling violence - is well documented. This week, a new report by the current interim government, titled Unfolding the Truth, implicates Hasina in as many as 3,500 cases of forced disappearances during her time in office.Warned the Solidarity Centre in August: "The economy of Bangladesh, depends on garment factories, but producers say customers are concerned about violence and disruption." What's more, the previous government's "repression against workers seeking to form and join unions has prevented garment workers from achieving the living wages and safe working conditions they have sought to achieve."So what's next?The Nobel peace laureate and economist Muhammad Yunus (founder of the Grameen bank) is leading the interim/ caretaker government. The factories are back working. Leading facilities like Echotex continue to innovate. What's unfolding is very relevant to the fashion sector, and to all of us who care about ethical production and want to understand the role brands have to play when it comes to what we hope are long term partnerships with suppliers.Can you help us spread the word ?Wardrobe Crisis is an independent production.We don't believe in barriers to entry and are determined to keep this content free.If you value it, please help by sharing your favourite Episodes, and rating / reviewing us in Apple orSpotify.

Bangladesh chief adviser Muhammad Yunus has recommended appointment of a 'reputed law & investigative firm' to assist in review of at least 7 power contracts signed during Hasina regime.

Muhammad Yunus, a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and bestselling author of "Banker to the Poor," visits to Google to talk about his book "A World of Three Zeroes." Muhammad Yunus is one of today's most vigorous social critics. Now he declares it's time to admit that the capitalist engine is broken, and that in its current form it inevitably leads to rampant inequality, massive unemployment, and environmental destruction. He advocates for a new economic system that unleashes altruism as a creative force just as powerful as self-interest. Is this a pipe dream? Not at all. In the last decade, thousands of people and organizations have already embraced Yunus's vision of a new form of capitalism, launching innovative social businesses designed to serve human needs rather than accumulate wealth. They are bringing solar energy to millions of homes in Bangladesh; turning thousands of unemployed young people into entrepreneurs through equity investments; financing female-owned businesses in cities across the United States; bringing mobility, shelter, and other services to the rural poor in France; and creating a global support network to help young entrepreneurs launch their start-ups. In "A World of Three Zeros," Yunus describes the new civilization emerging from the economic experiments his work has helped to inspire. He explains how global companies like McCain, Renault, Essilor, and Danone got involved with this new economic model through their own social action groups, describes the ingenious new financial tools now funding social businesses, and sketches the legal and regulatory changes needed to jumpstart the next wave of socially driven innovations.

In this deeply researched and compelling narrative, journalist Mara Kardas-Nelson examines the complex history and impact of microfinance - the practice of giving small loans to poor people, particularly women, that was once hailed as a revolutionary solution to global poverty. Through intimate portraits of borrowers in Sierra Leone and extensive interviews with key figures in the microfinance movement, Kardas-Nelson reveals how an idea that began with noble intentions became a multi-billion dollar industry with sometimes devastating consequences for the very people it aimed to help. We Are Not Able to Live in the Sky: The Seductive Promise of Microfinance (Metropolitan Books, 2024) weaves together two parallel narratives: the stories of women in Sierra Leone struggling with high-interest microloans while trying to support their families, and the history of how microfinance evolved from a small experiment into a global phenomenon championed by the likes of Hillary Clinton and Muhammad Yunus. Through careful reporting and historical analysis, Kardas-Nelson explores how problematic ideologies about poverty, entrepreneurship, and individual responsibility shaped the development of microfinance programs, often overlooking local economic realities and existing informal lending practices. What makes this book particularly valuable is how it challenges conventional narratives about microfinance without dismissing the real needs that drive people to seek these loans. Through detailed portraits of women in Sierra Leone, Kardas-Nelson shows how borrowers navigate a complex web of debt, social obligations, and economic pressures. The author raises important questions about whether encouraging poor people to take on high-interest debt is truly the best way to address poverty, while also examining alternative approaches like direct cash transfers and comprehensive social services. This timely investigation offers crucial insights for anyone interested in international development, poverty alleviation, and the often unintended consequences of well-meaning interventions in the lives of the world's poor. Through meticulous reporting and thoughtful analysis, Kardas-Nelson challenges readers to think more critically about how we approach poverty alleviation and what truly constitutes meaningful economic development.

Get Mara's book here: https://us.macmillan.com/.../wearenotabletoliveinthesky   In the mid-1970s, Muhammad Yunus, an American trained Bangladeshi economist, met a poor female stool maker who needed money to expand her business. In an act widely known as the beginning of microfinance, Yunus lent $27 to forty-two women, hoping small credit would help the women pull themselves out of poverty. Soon, Yunus's Grameen Bank was born, and the idea of giving very small, high-interest loans to poor people took off. In 2006, Yunus and the Grameen Bank won the Nobel Peace Prize for “efforts to create economic and social development from below.”   But there's a problem with this story. There are mounting concerns that these small loans are as likely to bury poor people in debt as they are to pull them from poverty, with borrowers from India to Kenya facing consequences such as jail time and forced land sales. Reportedly hundreds have even committed suicide. What happened? Did microfinance take a wrong turn, or was it flawed from the beginning? Mara Kardas-Nelson's We Are Not Able to Live in the Sky is about unintended consequences, blind optimism, and the decades-long ramifications of seemingly small policy choices. The book is rooted in the stories of women borrowers in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Their narratives, woven through a deep history of modern international development, are set against the rise of Yunus's vision that tiny loans would “put poverty in museums.” Kardas-Nelson asks: What is missed with a single, financially focused solution to global inequity that ignores the real drivers of poverty? Who stands to benefit and, more important, who gets left behind?   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.

On Aug. 5, following weeks of student protests and police violence that left hundreds dead, Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled to India. The students have since worked with the country's military to form an interim government, led by Nobel Peace Prize-winning economist Muhammad Yunus. Soon after Hasina's resignation, South Asia correspondent Karishma Mehrotra traveled to the capital city of Dhaka to speak to students, members of the new interim government and others. Martine Powers talks with Karishma about what she learned in Dhaka – and what comes next as this new government tries to make meaningful reforms. Today's show was produced by Peter Bresnan, with help from Emma Talkoff. It was mixed by Sean Carter and edited by Monica Campbell. Thanks to Anant Gupta and Rashad Ahamad.

After weeks of student-led demonstrations and violence across Bangladesh, which caused the deaths of hundreds of people, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has fled to India and resigned after 15 years of controversial rule. Many of those left behind are celebrating what they are describing as a second independence. The man brought in to temporarily lead the country – the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus – has called on young people to help rebuild the South Asian country. Generation Z, who are mostly in their teens and 20s, have played a large role in forcing political change. Hosts Luke Jones and James Reynolds bring some of those young voices together to hear their thoughts and hopes for the future.

Nobel Peace laureate says his first talk is to restore law and order after the violent unrest that toppled Sheikh Hasina.
