The FIFA World Cup is supposed to be football's greatest celebration - a month where politics takes a back seat, nations come together, and the beautiful game takes centre stage. But as the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off across the United States, Canada and Mexico, many fans are asking a very different question: has this tournament already become the biggest mess in World Cup history? From visa chaos affecting fans, officials and even FIFA-appointed referees, to entire groups of supporters being unable to attend matches, soaring ticket prices, travel nightmares, geopolitical tensions, and growing concerns over FIFA's leadership, controversy seems to be following this World Cup everywhere it goes. Visa denials are affecting officials and referees, while disputes involving Iranian supporters and travel restrictions have cast a shadow over the tournament before many games have even begun. Nima Tavallaey is invited onto various media platforms (BBC, TalkSport, Al Jazeera, Time Radio etc) to discuss the storm surrounding FIFA 2026: the political battles, the fan backlash, the referee controversies, the travel restrictions, the U.S.–Iran tensions, the questions over fairness and accessibility, and the mounting criticism directed at FIFA President Gianni Infantino and the organization itself. Whether you believe football and politics can never truly be separated or you think FIFA has completely lost control of its flagship competition, one thing is becoming impossible to ignore: before a ball has even been kicked in anger, the 2026 World Cup is already generating headlines for all the wrong reasons. So is this simply a difficult tournament facing extraordinary circumstances, or are we witnessing the most chaotic and politically charged World Cup ever staged?

Iran says reports of negotiations with the US president are “fake news” and it has placed mines in the Strait of Hormuz.Camilla and Tim attempt to get inside Trump's mind and ask whether he truly is negotiating with Iran with the aim of pulling off an extraordinary feat of international statecraft, or buying time to prepare for a ground invasion.They also speak to Greg Swenson, the chairman of Republicans Overseas, who says the president does have a plan and does not want to telegraph his every move.We want to hear from you!

Most commentators believe the war with Iran will continue for at least a couple of weeks. A senior Iranian official told Reuters that the new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei "rejected proposals to reduce tensions and cease fire with the U.S.," which were conveyed to Tehran by two mediating countries. The official claimed that "Khamenei's position regarding revenge against the U.S. and Israel is very hardline. We must defeat them, and they must pay compensation." On Day 18 of the Iran war, reporter Mark Weiss spoke with Marc Zell, Chair of Republicans Overseas, Israel. (Photo: IDF Spokesperson)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In an entirely predictable turn of events, just twenty four hours after publicly backing the US Ambassador, Keir Starmer has now sacked Peter Mandelson after "additional information" came to light about the nature of his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.Whilst it could, and perhaps should, mean that Mandelson's long political career has been brought to an end, it also reflects just as badly on the Prime Minister's judgement in appointing him in the first place, and then deciding to support him in the face of the Daily Telegraph's investigations. Camilla and Tim ask whether the Prime Minister, who so readily promoted his integrity whilst in opposition, still has any left.They also speak to the Chair of Republicans Overseas, Greg Swenson, about the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, and ask whether conservative values are under attack.Producers: Lilian Fawcett and Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Director: Meghan SearleSocial Producer: Charlotte HocquetExecutive Producer: Charlotte Seligman Hosted on Acast.

After 15 months of devastating conflict, a ceasefire agreement has been reached between Israel and Hamas, and three female hostages – Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher - have been released and are now back in Israel. This release is the first of several expected over the next six weeks, with a total of 33 hostages to be returned. Ninety Palestinian prisoners were released overnight in exchange for the hostages, the Israeli prison service has said - most of them women and teenage boys. The UN estimates that 1.9 million people in Gaza have been internally displaced since the start of the most recent conflict, some 90% of the population. The humanitarian situation remains critical, with widespread destruction and significant damage to infrastructure including hosptials and severe shortages of food, fuel, medicine, and shelter. Datshiane Navanayagam speaks to BBC Chief Correspondent Lyce Doucet. We also hear from Ghada Al-Kourd in Deir al-Balah in the centre of the Gaza strip, and Sharone Lifschitz, whose parents were taken hostage by Hamas in October 2023.Geneticists from Trinity College Dublin and archaeologists from Bournemouth University have found evidence of female political and social empowerment during Britain's Iron Age. DNA sampled from a burial site in Dorset shows that two-thirds of the women were closely related, suggesting that women lived in the same communities and passed on their land and wealth to their daughters, while unrelated men tended to join the community from elsewhere. This type of social structure, known as “matrilocality” is the first documented instance in European pre-history and challenges the assumption that most societies were patrilocal. Dr Lara Cassidy, an Assistant Professor of Genetics at Trinity College Dublin who led the research, discusses the findings. President-elect Donald Trump will be inaugurated today in Washington D.C. It is of course his second term, having previously served as the 45th US president, he will now also become the 47th. So what will a second Trump presidency mean for women, both in the US and around the world? Datshiane is joined by Jennifer Ewing from Republicans Overseas and the BBC's Holly Honderich to discuss.Elise Downing is known for running 5,000 miles self-supported around the British coast over the course of 10 months. She was not only the youngest person, but also the only female to have completed the challenge. Along the way she saw Britain at its wild and wonderful best. She has now written Walk Britain, packed with inspiring car-free ideas on how to get out and explore stunning locations – from the Cornish coast to the Yorkshire Dales and the Isle of Arran.

Wieso unterstützt man Donald Trump? In der heutigen Folge spricht Thilo mit jemandem, der das mit Leidenschaft tut. Benjamin Wolfmeier ist Pressesprecher der Republicans Overseas und bekennender Trump-Anhänger. Er setzt sich in Deutschland für die Belange der Republikanischen Partei ein und setzt große Hoffnungen in die zweite Amtszeit Trumps: Frieden, Wirtschaftswachstum und Ordnung im Land. In diesem Gespräch, das sich schnell zu einer hitzigen Debatte entwickelt, diskutieren Benjamin Wolfmeier und Thilo über Trumps Bezug zum Project 2025, ob es wirklich so schlimm um die amerikanische Wirtschaft steht und wer jetzt eigentlich daran schuld ist. Wird Trump einfach nur missverstanden und meint er es eigentlich gut? Ist seine Rhetorik bloß ein notwendiges Übel, um sich medienwirksam Gehör zu verschaffen? Was ist eine verbale Auffälligkeit, was eine Lüge? Wie viel Verantwortung trägt er für die Taten radikaler Gruppen wie der Evangelikalen oder der Proud Boys? Und wie lässt sich rechtfertigen, Personen mit tätowierten, rechtsradikalen Erkennungszeichen oder direkte Mitarbeiter des Project 2025 in sein Kabinett zu holen? Über Politik der Bauchgefühle und die realen Auswirkungen von Falschaussagen auf die politische Landschaft und auf das Leben von Personen, die für Trumps Wahlkampf herhalten mussten.

Israel is in a very precarious situation, and for anyone in the United States to think that whatever happens in Israel and to Israel, that it won't affect us, is sorely mistaken.
