This week's show features stories from France 24, Radio Deutsche-Welle, Radio Havana Cuba, and NHK Japan. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr260123.mp3 (29:00) From FRANCE- Starting with 3 press reviews about the WEF held in Davos Switzerland, clearly the biggest international news item. Trump's words, insults, and threats, followed by his slight retraction on Greenland, has clearly damaged the relationship between the US and Europe. Trump was ridiculed in much of the press, not unlike his ridicule of other world leaders. Press on the Israeli crackdown on the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, including bulldozing the UN buildings in occupied Palestine. Oxfam released its annual report on wealth and poverty on Monday, pointing out that billionaires are accelerating the inequality gap. From GERMANY- Trump presented his proposed Board of Peace in Davos. It was to be a way to fix the crisis in destroyed Gaza, but has become what many suggest is an attempt at replacing the United Nations. He invited dozens of countries to sit on the board, which he is the lifetime chairman of the board, and Europe is by and large repulsed by it. An interview with Heba Aly, journalist and director of the United Nations Reform Coalition. She has worked for years to redirect the UN into becoming more effective at achieving its goals. From CUBA- Venezuelans continue to denounce the US invasion and kidnapping of President Maduro and his wife. From JAPAN- At the beginning of the week the EU was considering putting over $100 million in tariffs on the US in response to tariffs Trump threatened on EU countries defending Greenland. A just restarted nuclear power plant in central Japan was shutdown due to a malfunction during start up. Nepal will have a general election in March, and young voters in Gen-Z intend to create candidates and change, focused on ending corruption.

Khi người giàu càng giàu thêm với 17,4 tỷ đô la mỗi năm, liệu thuế tài sản có thể phá vỡ "vòng luẩn quẩn" này? Phân tích mới của Oxfam cho thấy, tài sản của các tỷ phú Úc đã tăng gần 600.000 đô la mỗi ngày, trong năm qua.

Mientras se espera la segunda fase del plan de paz en Gaza, impulsado por el mandatario estadounidense Donald Trump, la situación humanitaria en el enclave sigue siendo catastrófica, alertan las ONG´s.  Hay escasez de comida, enfermedades y muertes ligadas a ataques y al invierno, además de la preocupación por la posible partida de 37 organizaciones humanitarias. En octubre pasado inició la tregua en Gaza, pero una verdadera paz aún se ve lejana y las necesidades de la población de alimentos, vivienda digna o atención médica no dan espera, confirman diferentes organizaciones como Médicos Sin Fronteras (MSF) y Oxfam. Esta semana Unicef informó que, desde el inicio de la tregua, al menos 100 niños han muerto en ataques aéreos y actos de violencia en la Franja y el New York Times publicó que también en este periodo Israel ha demolido más de 2.500 edificios en el enclave, complicando aún más el acceso a una vivienda digna para la población, pues muchos se encuentran bajo tiendas de campaña. Las muertes en Gaza continúan y a ello se suman los fallecimientos por hipotermia o enfermedades ligadas a un invierno bajo condiciones catastróficas, cuenta Claire Nicolet, Coordinadora de urgencias de Médicos Sin Fronteras en Gaza. “Todos los días, sigue habiendo muertos en Gaza, ya sea porque la gente se acerca a la zona controlada por el ejército israelí o por los ataques que siguen produciéndose en zonas que normalmente deberían ser seguras. Lamentablemente, siguen produciéndose ataques a ese nivel”, agregó Nicolet. El invierno y las malas condiciones de vivienda también han generado fallecimientos. “Hemos tenido casos de hipotermia entre los niños y también hemos tenido esos famosos edificios que se derrumban sobre la gente. Así que digamos que, aún hoy, seguimos viendo muertes relacionadas con toda esta situación que vemos en Gaza. Por desgracia, todos los días seguimos oyendo bombardeos, demoliciones de edificios y aún no hemos llegado a algo que se pueda llamar realmente paz”, señaló. El trabajo de las ONG's no es suficiente para cubrir las necesidades del enclave, cuenta la trabajadora humanitaria y esto podría agravarse con la decisión de Israel de prohibir el acceso a 37 ONG. El Estado hebreo argumenta que es una respuesta por no comunicar los nombres de sus empleados, pero las organizaciones temen por la seguridad de sus miembros. Por su parte, la comunidad internacional se muestra preocupada por una escalada de la crisis humanitaria que ya es catastrófica, pues explican que sería muy difícil crear rápidamente una alternativa que pueda cubrir el trabajo que ya se está haciendo y que es precario. “Hoy en día, como Médicos Sin Fronteras, contamos con más de 20 centros de salud a los que prestamos apoyo y 5 hospitales. En la actualidad, no hay nadie capaz de sustituirnos con un volumen de trabajo tan grande. Contamos con más de 1.000 empleados nacionales, por lo que el volumen de actividad es enorme. También somos el segundo distribuidor de agua en la Franja de Gaza. Si hoy tuviéramos que dejar de trabajar, no habría ninguna solución alternativa”, aseguró. Además de la presencia física, están las especialidades que aporta cada organización. “En el caso de MSF, somos especialistas en determinadas patologías o enfermedades, como por ejemplo las quemaduras. No habría ninguna solución alternativa, porque no habría ninguna organización que pueda venir de repente a sustituir el volumen de actividad que estamos realizando como Médicos Sin Fronteras”, agregó Nicolet. Varios países entre los que se encuentran los de la Unión Europea, que enviaron una declaración conjunta, insisten a Israel en dar marcha atrás en su decisión de sacar a estas 37 organizaciones, pero de momento la presión no parece dar resultados.  

On January 1, 2026, Israel banned 37 international humanitarian aid organizations from operating in Gaza. Among those affected were Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children, Oxfam, Caritas, ActionAid, the International Rescue Committee, and World Vision. Bushra Khalidi, Oxfam's policy lead in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, explains the underlying reasons behind Israel's ban and its impact on Gaza's population.

Dal 1° gennaio 2026 Israele ha deciso che a Gaza si entra solo previa registrazione ideologica. Trentasette organizzazioni umanitarie internazionali vedranno scadere le licenze. Medici, infermieri, logisti, magazzini di farmaci e sacchi di farina finiscono sotto la stessa voce amministrativa: conformità. In mezzo a un disastro umanitario certificato da mesi, l'accesso agli aiuti viene trattato come una pratica sospetta. I nuovi requisiti chiariscono il punto. Alle ONG viene chiesto di consegnare elenchi dettagliati del personale, di dichiarare fedeltà politica, di prendere le distanze da boicottaggi, di accettare senza attrito le narrazioni ufficiali israeliane sul 7 ottobre. Chi cura deve prima dimostrare di non disturbare. Chi testimonia deve imparare a tacere. La neutralità umanitaria viene riscritta come atto di obbedienza. Dentro questa cornice finiscono anche Medici senza Frontiere, Oxfam, Azione contro la Fame. Le stesse organizzazioni che hanno denunciato la distruzione degli ospedali, la mancanza d'acqua, l'impossibilità di garantire cure basilari. Prima le accuse di faziosità, poi la risposta amministrativa. È una sequenza ordinata: delegittimazione, schedatura, espulsione. Nessun carro armato serve quando basta un modulo respinto. Le reazioni internazionali oscillano tra l'indignazione verbale e la cautela diplomatica. Amnesty parla di un ulteriore passo verso l'annientamento della popolazione civile. Alcuni governi esprimono “preoccupazione”. Altri cercano scappatoie giuridiche per restare. Intanto, a Gaza, la realtà resta identica: ospedali mutilati, acqua razionata, bambini senza anestesia. Da Tel Aviv il messaggio è lineare: tutto passa dalla sicurezza. Anche il cibo. Anche le flebo. Anche le ambulanze. La sicurezza diventa la parola che giustifica ogni vuoto. Alla fine resta una domanda sporca, senza diplomazia: quando chi porta aiuto viene trattato come un nemico, quanto manca a dichiarare illegittima anche la vita che quell'aiuto prova a salvare? #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Elon Musk could be about to become the world's first trillionaire. That's after a record-breaking pay package - that could be worth nearly $1tn (£760bn) - was approved by Tesla shareholders. The electric car boss is already the world's richest man, but this would take his wealth to a whole new level. But who is Elon Musk and how did he make all this money? We explain all, as well as breaking down what a trillion dollars actually is. Plus, we hear from two special guests about what they would do with a trillion dollars.But not everyone thinks trillionaires are a good thing. Billie Eilish has been vocal about this. She recently called for billionaires to give their money away. And then there's charities, like Oxfam, who point to rising global inequality. BBC reporter Nathalie Jimenez joins us to crunch the numbers, and explain all sides of the arguments for, and against, trillionaires.

In this episode, we sat down with Bushra Khalidi, Oxfam's Policy Lead in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Bushra reflects on her dual identities as a Palestinian and a humanitarian, and how this has shaped her approach to her work. She speaks to the critical role that humanitarian actors have played in not just providing physical aid, but also in highlighting the truth of abuses they are witnessing. Bushra also discusses how the the dehumanization and dispossession of Palestinians in Israel and in global media and policy spaces has fueled longstanding impunity for Israel's violations of international law. In this regard, she emphasizes the need for breaking paternalistic patterns and for meaningfully including Palestinians in decisions on their future.

This Social Impact Pioneers episode forms part of the Business Fights Poverty Climate Series 2025. Katie Hyson sits down with Matthew Spencer, Global Director of Landscapes at IDH – The Sustainable Trade Initiative, for a timely conversation recorded live from COP 2025 in Belém, Brazil. With climate risks intensifying and global supply chains under unprecedented pressure, Matthew explores why landscape-level collaboration is emerging as one of the most effective solutions for protecting the world's most vulnerable ecosystems — while strengthening livelihoods for millions of smallholder farmers. Matthew shares IDH's ambitious goal to protect and restore five million hectares of vulnerable landscapes by 2030, addressing deforestation, biodiversity loss, and climate impacts through integrated, jurisdictional approaches – working with communities, businesses and governments. Drawing on career of experience, he explains why landscape initiatives not only deliver environmental gains but also help companies share risk, reduce costs, build resilience, and secure long-term supply. Listeners will hear real-world success stories — from palm oil landscapes in Aceh, Indonesia, to sustainable beef production in Mato Grosso, Brazil — where public-private partnerships have cut deforestation and improved farmers' incomes. Matthew also highlights the rapidly growing landscape platform SourceUp, which now hosts over 65 initiatives (expected to reach 100 next year), helping businesses fast-track participation by identifying opportunities by commodity, country, or sustainability priority. Matthew's Social Impact Pioneer credentials include time with Greenpeace and Oxfam, he's helped secure the UK's phase-out of coal while at the think tank Green Alliance and he's a Turner Fellow at the Cambridge Conservation Initiative, researching what has worked in tropical forest protection over the last three decades. Listen in for Matthew's views on why climate action and poverty reduction must go hand-in-hand, and what truly drives lasting change in forest protection and sustainable land use. Packed with practical insights for business leaders, sustainability professionals, and anyone working at the intersection of climate and development, this episode offers rare optimism — and a clear roadmap for collective action. Tune in to learn how landscape collaboration can drive climate resilience, restore forests, and transform global value chains.

Oxfam: 10 US billionaires have had their wealth increase 6-fold since 2020 / New report by The Lancet: More than 3 million Palestinian life-years lost in Gaza genocide

La ONG de lucha contra la pobreza calcula que una persona del segmento más rico del planeta emite más Co2 en un solo día que una persona que forma parte del 50% de los más pobres en todo un año. Oxfam insta a los gobiernos a aplicar tasas a los multimillonarios para financiar la lucha contra el calentamiento global que alcanzará +1.5°C próximamente.   “Los ricos causan el problema, los pobres pagan el precio más alto de la crisis climática”, alertaba el secretario de Naciones Unidas, Antonio Guterres, el año pasado en la cumbre climática de la ONU COP29. Un nuevo informe de la ONG de lucha contra la pobreza, Oxfam, confirma esta realidad con cifras. Desde 2015, por ejemplo, el 1% más rico de la población mundial consume la mayor parte de nuestro presupuesto de CO2, es decir, la cantidad de carbono que podemos emitir sin agravar la crisis climática.   Los autores del nuevo informe de Oxfam, publicado a un poco más de una semana del inicio de la cumbre climática COP30 de Naciones Unidas, denuncian un “saqueo climático” de los más ricos, quienes a través de sus hábitos de consumo y sus inversiones, son responsables de la mayor parte de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, principal causa del calentamiento global.  “Hablamos de saqueo porque, los multimillonarios están sacando ventajas y beneficios económicos, mientras que las poblaciones más vulnerables enfrentan los impactos más devastadores de esta crisis climática”, declaró Carlos Aguilar, encargado de Justicia Climática de Oxfam Latinoamérica.  “Desde 1990, el 0,1% más rico ha aumentado la cuota de emisiones totales en un 32%, en comparación con la mitad más pobre de la humanidad, que ha reducido más bien su cuota en un 3%. La participación de los multimillonarios y de una élite está cada vez está teniendo un mayor impacto en la situación de la emergencia climática que estamos viviendo”, agregó Aguilar, entrevistado por RFI.  La organización Oxfam apunta también a las carteras de inversiones de los más adinerados que dirigen sus fondos hacia las energías fósiles, principal fuente de emisiones de CO2.  “Las emisiones de las carteras de inversión de los 308 supermillonarios superan las emisiones de 118 países juntos, principalmente de países del sur. Y estamos hablando que el 60% de las inversiones de estos supermillonarios están concentrados en sectores de alto impacto climático como la industria del petróleo, del gas o de los minerales”, detalla Carlos Aguilar.  Los autores del informe formulan una serie de recomendaciones para reducir la brecha climática. Sugieren, por ejemplo aumentar la carga impositiva de los más ricos y de las grandes empresas. “Por ejemplo, un impuesto del 60% sobre los ingresos totales del 1% más rico del mundo podría reducir emisiones de carbono equivalentes a las emisiones totales de toda Inglaterra”, indica Carlos Aguilar.  En el marco de las negociaciones internacionales para buscar nuevas fuentes de financiamiento contra la crisis climática ocho países, entre los cuales Francia, Kenia y España, proponen, por ejemplo, un impuesto especial sobre los viajes aéreos de lujo: una tasa global que permitiría recaudar 187.000 millones de dólares para los países pobres y vulnerables al cambio climático.  Oxfam llama además a prohibir la presencia de las grandes corporaciones en los espacios de negociación climática.  

In this episode of Style DNA I go on a thrifting style journey with the British stylist, editor, author and long-standing champion of second-hand fashion the brilliant Bay Garnett. Often called the “Queen of Thrift”, she is known for her eclectic, vintage-infused styling and her belief in the creativity and sustainability of re-wearing clothes… yes to that! She started her career working on Cheap Date magazine where she worked on the second hand fashion advertising pictures, changing the font from high designer names to thrift stores and charity shops ( Salvation Army replacing Yves Saint Laurent, Cancer Care Calvin Klein, and so on). Her witty irreverent spreads were spotted by the editor of British Vogue Alexandra Shulman who invited Bay to work on the magazine's first charity shop fashion shoot and become a contributing Fashion Editor. Bay approached her good friend and thrifting buddy Anita Pallenberg to help her pull some looks together for Jurgen Teller to shoot Kate Moss in…the iconic shoot is often referenced by designers and creatives to this day. She went on to use vintage in all fashion shoots moving forward over 25 years. Working with photographers from Bruce Weber, Jurgen Teller, Tom Craig, Glen Luchford and Craig McDean.  In 2016 she became an Independent Fashion Advisor at Oxfam and styled their first runway show, Fashion Fighting Poverty. In 2019 she Co- founded Second Hand September with Oxfam… the first campaign starred Stella Tennant and her daughter Iris, and then following year, Michaela Cole, then Sienna Miller and a new face each year.  She is a true champion of second hand style … she tells me that a shocking 13 million pieces of clothing goes into British landfill A WEEK…food for thought… She shares her thrifting tips with me…it can be pretty intimidating to go thrifting if you have never given it a go. She is also the author of Style and Substance: Why What We Wear Matters (2022), a collection of essays exploring the deeper meaning of fashion and clothing. It is a beautiful and thought provoking book which I have enjoyed dipping in and out of. SOPH CAN WE LINK TO AMAZON? She is now working with Smartworks …the most amazing charity to help women prepare for interviews by assisting them with what they will be wearing (they have stylists on hand to guide them through the process), as well as helping them with interview techniques and then gives them several outfits once they have the job to set them on their way. Bay has been invited by Bicester Village to create her ultimate charity shop (open now for the next month). She has sourced everything and all the money goes to Smartworks…bravo! If you are nearby over the next month do pop in and check it out…you may even get the chance to meet her. We talk about age being a consideration as to how we dress…and some style hacks for remaining cool as the years tick by…funnily enough she is also a fan of a good belt! I hope you enjoy this episode. Thank you @baygarnettt for being such a great guest xx

Reintroducing a wealth tax has become a particularly divisive issue in France's ongoing budget battle. In a world where the richest 1 percent hold more wealth than the bottom 95 percent combined, Susana Ruiz, Tax Policy Lead at Oxfam International, tells FRANCE 24 that taxing the rich is “a new common sense.” Also in this segment, Elon Musk's Starlink has come under scrutiny amid allegations it is helping to power online scam centres in Southeast Asia.

El financiamiento climático es insuficiente y agrava la deuda de los países en desarrollo, alertan dos ong de lucha contra la pobreza en un informe. Según sus cálculos las ayudas para financiar la transición energética y la adaptación al cambio climático se componen principalmente de préstamos que generan intereses para las naciones ricas acreedoras y empobrecen a los países deudores.  En un nuevo informe, dos ong de lucha contra la pobreza denuncian la hipocresía de las ayudas financieras de los países ricos para la transición energética y la adaptación al cambio climático en los países en desarrollo. Tras una revisión de estas ayudas, Oxfam y Care consideran que este financiamiento es insuficiente y que lamenta el hecho de que se compone no sólo de subvenciones sino principalmente de préstamos a tasas de intereses estándares que agravan el endeudamiento. “Los países que reciben estos fondos los reciben mayormente en forma de préstamos y finalmente por cada 5 dólares que reciben, pagan aproximadamente 7 dólares. Esto se debe en parte a que el 65% de la financiación actual se entrega por parte de los países ricos a los países en vías de desarrollo en forma de préstamos”, observa Carlos Aguilar, responsable de justicia climática en Oxfam Latinoamérica. “Esta forma de funcionamiento está transformando la crisis climática en un negocio y no en una obligación de los países para efectivamente cumplir con responsabilidad a los compromisos establecidos desde el Acuerdo de Paris”, lamenta Aguilar, entrevistado por RFI. A cinco semanas de la conferencia climática Cop30 de Brasil, Oxfam formula recomendaciones para un mecanismo de financiamiento climático que sea más equitativo. La organización pide por ejemplo privilegiar ayudas “más favorables para los países en desarrollo”, como subvenciones o préstamos concesionales, es decir que ofrecen condiciones más interesantes que los préstamos de mercado. Oxfam y Care preconizan también aumentar la proporción de ayudas destinadas a la adaptación al cambio climático (infraestructuras contra los huracanes, contra el aumento del nivel del mar, la escasez hídrica etc.). “La financiación para la adaptación está infra financiada, ya que solo recibe el 33 % de la financiación climática”, indican los autores del informe. En la Cop29 de Baku, los países desarrollados se comprometieron a movilizar 300.000 millones de dólares anuales de aquí a 2035 y a movilizar a largo plazgo 1,3 billones de dólares de ayuda financiera para la acción climática, incluyendo otras fuentes de financiamiento como del sector privado. Para alcanzar este monto, las ong urgen a la comunidad internacional a buscar nuevas fuentes de financiación. “Los multimillonarios deben pagar por el impacto que sus inversiones y que sus actividades económicas están generando en la crisis climática global. Hay beneficios excesivos de las empresas de combustibles fósiles a nivel mundial que no están suficientemente tasados”, estima Carlos Aguilar. Buscar nuevas fuentes de financiamiento climático será precisamente uno de los puntos a negociar en la Cop30 de Belem, prevista en noviembre de este año, con el objetivo de cuadruplicar el monto actual de la ayuda a los países en desarrollo.

When we think about flashpoints between India and Pakistan, most people picture borders, bombs, or Kashmir. But the most strategic weapon in South Asia today may not be nuclear—it's water.The Indus Water Treaty has been called one of the world's most successful peace agreements, surviving wars, nuclear standoffs, and decades of political hostility. But in April this year, India suspended the treaty after a terrorist attack in Kashmir, effectively threatening to choke off the lifeline of Pakistan's agriculture and economy. For the first time in 65 years, the Indus—an ancient river system that sustains over 250 million people—has been turned into a tool of coercion.This is more than a regional spat. It's a live experiment in how climate stress, nationalism, and security fears can dismantle one of the last bastions of cooperation between nuclear rivals. And if water becomes a weapon here, what does it mean for other fragile river basins—the Nile, the Mekong, the Jordan—where upstream states already hold the cards?Today, I'm joined by Professor Ashok Swain, UNESCO Chair on International Water Cooperation and Head of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University. He has authored and edited 20 books and more than 150 journal articles, and he is also the Founding Editor-in-Chief of the peer-reviewed journal Environment and Security, published by Sage. He has also served as a consultant on environmental and development issues, advising various international organisations, including UN agencies, OCSE, NATO, EU, IISS, the Arab League and Oxfam, as well as the governments of Sweden, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Singapore. Few people understand more about how rivers can both unite and divide nations. His work spans transboundary water politics, climate security, and conflict dynamics, and he has been one of the most vocal critics of India's suspension of the Indus Water Treaty.The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

In today's episode: Rethinking how we measure the harm caused by the  arms industry The life long, and multigenerational, impact of starvation in Gaza What is the appropriate focus on prevention in general practice?   The BMJ's international editor, Jocalyn Clark talks about a new series we've just published - examining the arms industry as a commercial determinant of health. Jocalyn also speaks to Mark Bellis, from Liverpool John Moores university about why he thinks it's time we take the impact of the arms industry on health seriously. The blockade on food reaching Gaza is in place again, risking more starvation. Elizabeth Mahase, clinical reporter for the BMJ, has been finding out about the acute, chronic, and generational impact on the palestinian population. She speaks to Jonathan Wells, professor of anthropology and paediatric nutrition at University College London, and Tessa Roseboom, professor of early development and health at the University of Amsterdam, Marie McGrath former head of the Emergency Nutrition Network, and Chris McIntosh, humanitarian response advisor for the charity, Oxfam. Finally, an analysis we published earlier this year made the case that "tsunami" of preventative care is destabilised the work of GPs. Helen Macdonald was at the Preventing Overdiagnosis conference and spoke to some of the authors - Minna Johansson, associate professor at University of Gothenberg, Stephen Martin, professor at UMass Chan Medical School, and Iona Heath, retired GP and former president of the RCGP.   Reading list Arms industry as a commercial determinant of health Starvation is a lifelong sentence: Gaza's civilians must be protected in accordance with international humanitarian law Sacrificing patient care for prevention: distortion of the role of general practice  

Cabo Delgado is Mozambique's northernmost province, bordering Tanzania. Since 2017, it has been gripped by a violent insurgency, when Islamist militants began attacking villages, towns, and government forces. The region is also home to major natural gas deposits, in which the French energy giant Total has invested heavily. But after a wave of attacks in 2021, Total suspended operations. Foreign troops—including forces from Rwanda and the Southern African Development Community—have since helped the Mozambican government regain some territory. Still, sporadic attacks continue, and the humanitarian crisis remains acute. In recent weeks, there has been a sharp uptick in violence, displacing about 60,000 people. Joining me to discuss the ongoing crisis in Cabo Delgado, the role of mineral extraction in fueling the conflict, and what the Mozambican government and international community can do to curb the violence is Romao Xavier, Oxfam in Southern Africa's Country Representative for Mozambique. We begin by examining the latest surge in violence before taking a broader look at what drives this conflict—and what it might take to bring it under control.
