The International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for Israel's Prime Minister and Defence minister and three Hamas leaders - accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Israeli cabinet has already hit back - calling it 'moral blindness'. But this means the country's leaders could face arrest in over 120 countries (the signatories to the ICC) if they travel abroad. Why has the prosecutor sought the warrants now - and what impact could this have on the war in Gaza and on Israel's relationships with the international community? Could Netanyahu really end up in the Hague?Later, as the infected blood scandal finally acnkowledges decades of failure and cover up we ask why these slow burn scandals that wreck so many lives are such a familiar story in the UK. And we talk to Omid Djalili about the death of Iran's PM in a helicopter crash.Editor: Tom HughesProducer: Laura FitzPatrickSocial Media Editor: Georgia FoxwellVideo Production: Shane Fennelly& Arvind BadewalYou can listen to this episode on Alexa - just say "Alexa, ask Global Player to play The News Agents"!The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/https://store.global.com/collections/the-news-agents

Recording of a debate at the Battle of Ideas festival 2023 on Sunday 29 October, at Church House, London. Subscribe to the Academy of Ideas Substack for more information on the next Battle and future events: https://clairefox.substack.com/subscribe INTRODUCTION At the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Comedy Unleashed's show, featuring Graham Linehan, was cancelled because the venue did not ‘support his views' and his presence would ‘violate their space'. The edgy spirit that used to characterise the Edinburgh Festival Fringe specifically, and stand-up comedy more generally, seems to have evaporated. There was no outcry from comedians attending the festival and very few publicly expressed even the mildest of support for free expression in the arts. Earlier that year, Nigel Farage was debanked by Coutts, for expressing views that go against the bank's ‘values'. Despite the bankers themselves having admitted fault, comedian Omid Djalili publicly sided with the elite bank. When comedians see no problem with using the denial of banking services as a form of punishment for holding certain views, how can they claim that they are ‘punching up'? Why do comedians increasingly side with the Establishment? How can comics say that they are ‘punching up' when they support the people being ‘cancelled' by corporations? As society becomes more authoritarian, where is the satirical response and creative backlash? SPEAKERS Miriam Elia satirical conceptual artist; author, We See the Sights, We Go To The Gallery and We Do Lockdown; creator, A Series Of Psychotic Episodes Dominic Frisby writer; comedian; author, Bitcoin: the future of money? Graham Linehan creator and co-creator, Father Ted, Black Books and The IT Crowd; comedy writer, Count Arthur Strong, Brass Eye and The Fast Show; author, Tough Crowd: How I Made and Lost a Career in Comedy Chair: Andy Shaw co-founder, Comedy Unleashed

He's been in movies like 'Gladiator' and 'Sex and the City 2' but why did no one want to sit next to Omid Djalili at school?We heard all about his school lunches, his new shower routine and how he ended up being more famous than some serious Hollywood royalty.

Omid Djalili is an Iranian-British actor and comedian you would remember him from his fantastic appearances in The Mummy and Gladiator. He's about to kick off his tour in Ireland this November and joined Kieran to discuss...

In an unplanned and unexpected episode, Jim Boardman and Jay Reid had to get together to discuss the new depths the PGMOL had somehow managed to plunge.As Jay and Jim tried to work out exactly where to start with this episode, the self-governing band of incompetents were probably back at base sharing celebratory PowerPoints of all the records they'd smashed in one game - that's if they weren't hurriedly tidying up some audio files, soon to be lost.Where to start? Should it be the red card for a tackle that it was clear the player didn't even think was a yellow? Or the VAR, despite clearly deciding yellow was red, getting the ref to go the screen to have a look instead of making the call himself? Or the fact the VAR ensured the screen was paused on an incriminating moment that really didn't tell the true story? Only providing a slow motion replay, from only one angle? The ref not asking for more angles, at normal speed, before excitedly waving his red card?That's just one incident covered in this episode. Others include, and this list is far from exhaustive:- The VAR not sure of the difference between an allowed or disallowed goal. Has he ever watched a game?- Conflicting stories of whether or not lines were drawn- PGMOL issuing a statement - but no apology- PGMOL saying a full investigation will take place. But blaming it on human error anyway.- PGMOL apparently letting the bit about the VAR thinking it was a goal leak out, rather than say it on the record- PGMOL giving their blessing to three of the officials working in the UAE 48 hours before, only arriving back the day before- Jota getting a red when his first yellow was for watching someone fall over their own feet- Salah getting booked for being fouled in the box.- Opposition players let off for clearly and obviously waving imaginary yellow cards- Liverpool set to be fined because of the number of bookings the nine men got- The Reds releasing a statement calling for transparency- Some in the media imagining some part of that statement where it called for a replay- Liverpool deciding to appeal Curtis Jones' red card- Turncoat Gary Neville swivelling back to his usual stance, claiming Liverpool's words were ‘aggressive'- Omid Djalili (not from Liverpool, despite some reports) stepping in to talk sense in response to Neville's lack of it- The Reds asking for the audio of the conversations between the officials- A performance to be proud of from those Reds who played against the PGMOLIt's the game everyone's talking about - except for those running the game or the competition it was part of.Prefer to listen to our shows without the ads?

The war on gender has many fronts. In a time of unprecedented division among genders, comedian Omid Djalili shares a cautionary tale of the history of Iran's two revolutions, how women-led revolutions are our best chance of liberating us all, and how men can make a difference from the West. Around the world women's rights to freedom, justice and civil rights are being infringed upon and, in the case of Iran, violently attacked. The protests and revolution are a struggle for freedom and equality. This is not a fight against the hijab or against men. It is a fight against ignorance and as such it is supported fiercely by the men of Iran who are suffering a majority of casualties in their activism. New episodes every Monday

#404 Colin Firth Lap Dance - It's Richard's last day at the Fringe and controversy over a cancelled show (not this one) is just taking off. Richard is chatting to comedian and movie star, Omid Djalili. They discuss the films that he got cut out of, how he got cast in The Mummy, some surprises from the set of Sex and the City 2, the late, great Sean Lock, performing for the Queen and the role comedy plays in helping us move forwards. A great end to a fab run at the Assembly Rooms and Richard's last ever Fringe show (perhaps). Thanks to the fabulous crew!See Omid on tour https://www.omidnoagenda.comSee RHLSTP LIVE http://richardherring.com/rhlstp SUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELSee extra content at our WEBSITESee details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATES Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.

As China continues to flex its military muscles and halts cooperation with the US on climate change, Taiwan's foreign minister, Joseph Wu, speaks to the BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes. Also in the programme: we hear from author Jon Ronson about a legal setback for American shock jock Alex Jones. And memories of the Edinburgh Fringe festival from British comedy star Omid Djalili, who first performed there nearly 30 years ago.
