Israeli forces have withdrawn from a military zone cutting off northern Gaza from the rest of the territory, allowing hundreds of Palestinians to return home. The Netzarim Corridor had effectively cut the Gaza strip in two, trapping hundreds of thousands of people in the south. Meanwhile, Israeli negotiators have returned to Qatar to continue talks on the ceasefire agreement with Hamas. We speak to our correspondent in the region as well as an analyst on Middle Eastern conflict resolution. Also on the programme: An expert on human trafficking in Libya takes us through the motivations of smugglers, after the bodies of more than 50 migrants were found in a mass grave in the south-east of the country; and Donald Trump expected to make history as the first sitting US president to attend the Super Bowl.

-Palestinians return to their homes in Northern Gaza, unconquered -Chinese AI model causes panic among US tech oligarchs -Whole Foods workers open up a new front in the class struggle against Amazon -Trump threatens trade war with Colombia, then backs off

This week, Erin and Jake talked about the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has escalated with the rebel group M23 capturing the city of Goma. The roots of the conflict are complex, stemming from arbitrarily drawn African national borders by European colonizers. This has led to disputes between tribal and religious groups within the same country and is also a factor in the Rwandan genocide. The M23 group, formed to protect Tutsi people, has reignited violence in the resource-rich eastern DRC, leading to mass casualties and a humanitarian crisis, and prompting international calls for action. There are also reports that the fighting has caused water and electricity supplies to the city to be cut off.Then they moved to the US, where newly inaugurated President Trump signed a series of executive orders on immigration, including one that seeks to revoke birthright citizenship for children of undocumented parents and halting all refugee admissions. Trump has framed immigration as a national security issue, granting the president more unilateral power. The immigration policies led to a recent diplomatic breakdown between the US and Colombia over deported Colombians sent on military planes. The issue was resolved through diplomatic channels. Then, some financial news. A Chinese startup, DeepSeek, launched an AI chatbot at a fraction of the cost of its US competitors, sparking concern in the US tech and stock markets. DeepSeek says that it only needed $6 million to train their chatbot, compared to the $100 million needed to train ChatGPT. The AI model is comparable to the industry leaders in the US, on par with Google and OpenAI, and it has raised questions about the US's ability to keep up in this market, with Nvidia, a major processor manufacturer, seeing the largest single-day drop in market history. But while China has global ambitions for AI, their censorship standards may end up being the challenge that slows them down.Other global headlines from the week include Denmark bumping up military spending for the defense of Greenland after Trump's comments about taking it by force, the Serbian PM resigning after months of protests, and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko claiming victory in an election which was called a sham by Western governments. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he will cover the US contribution to the UN's climate body after Trump withdrew the US from the Paris agreement in his first day in office. Displaced Palestinians have begun returning to Northern Gaza, many of them to destroyed homes, and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz was marked on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Finally, Thailand has become the first country in SE Asia to recognize marriage equality for same-sex couples, with hundreds of couples getting married to celebrate.Stay With Me Here is an independent project, and all views and opinions expressed in this show, and in this writeup, represent our personal views and not that of any organization we're affiliated with. Erin Flanagan is a former U.S. Coast Guard intelligence officer and Agence France-Presse digital investigations journalist.Jacob Shropshire is an editorial intern at Worldcrunch and the managing editor of Peacock Media at the American University of Paris.

Eight of the 26 Israeli hostages yet to be released under the terms of the first phase of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas, have died while captive. The news has been shared with their loved ones, as tens of thousands of Palestinians return to the north of Gaza and Gaza City.

It's Casual Friday! Emma speaks with Mehdi Hasan, founder, CEO, and editor-in-chief of Zeteo, to discuss all of the developments since Tuesday's election. First, Emma runs through updates on the Harris-Walz campaign's overperformance in battleground states, PA Dems' maintenance of the State House majority, the ongoing battle for the US House, the Trump Administration, preparations for Trump's mass deportations, the GOP's anti-abortion tact, Israel's advancing genocide, and rising world food prices, also diving a little deeper into swing-state election results and watching Karine Jean-Pierre throw Harris under the bus in the face of potential criticism of Biden. Mehdi Hasan then joins, first touching on the already-advancing relationship between the Trump and Netanyahu administrations as Israel prepares an annexation of Northern Gaza, before shifting back to the still-developing numbers from Tuesday's blowout win by Trump and the GOP, looking at Trump's wins among minority voters (particularly Latin men), and unpacking why his vision was able to appeal to groups he actively seeks to discriminate against. After expanding on the major role misogyny and racism played in grounding Trump's campaign against Harris, Hasan and Emma parse through the divide between blaming the campaign and blaming the voters, discussing the complete gap in perception and reality around border crossings, crime, and inflation and the failure of messaging behind, before wrapping up the interview with what Democrats have to change about the way they do politics. Emma also touches on a note on fighting fascism from a French Leftist. And in the Fun Half: Emma and Matt unpack the role of misogyny in the overwhelming victory by Trump and the GOP, Jack from Florida tackles Trump and America's love for money, and Alex in Phoenix explores what happened to the coalition built around Bernie Sanders' campaign. The MR Team also touches on the continued scapegoating of minorities in the wake of Trump's victory, some typically horrific election analyses from Bari Weiss and Tom Suozzi, and Lula da Silva's plea to Trump over climate change. Thomas from Richmond discusses the future of DSA, and Jen Psaki has an astonishingly valid revelation about Democrats, plus, your calls and IMs!
