In the early hours of Wednesday morning, a ceasefire between Israel and Hizbullah came into effect. The deal was announced the day before with US President Joe Biden saying he hoped it would mean a "permanent cessation of hostilities". But what does the truce actually entail? And with both sides launching attacks right up until the ceasefire deadline, is the will there to keep the peace?Irish Times journalist Sally Hayden reports from Beirut.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

The attention of people around the world has been captured by the presence of Irish soldiers standing in the way of the Israel Defence Forces as they launch an invasion of Lebanon in a bid to defeat militant group Hezbollah. In an area where Irish troops have been stationed so long that some locals have picked up Irish accents, personal ties go deep. The chief of staff of Ireland's defence forces has said Irish troops will "stay strong" in the face of Israeli orders to leave their positions following a spate of attacks on UN outposts. How did the peace force come to be there, and what comes next? Naomi and Tim speak to reporters on the ground and sum up how the conflict reached its present point, and Ireland's unique role in the region. We hear from Sally Hayden about her reporting on the ongoing bombing of Beirut, while Hannah McCarthy explains what the Irish peacekeepers have been facing, and what may lie behind Israel's tactics.

The UN Human Rights Office says it has received reports that most of the 22victims of an israeli airstrike in northern lebanon were women and children. For more, we can talk to Sally Hayden of the Irish Times who is in Beirut

It's nearly four weeks since Israel detonated explosions in the pagers belonging to members of Hizbullah, the Iran backed Lebanese-based militia. Since then the conflict in the Middle East has escalated. Israel has been striking inside Lebanon with missiles and has now sent ground troops into the country and Hizbullah has been striking back at targets in Israel. The death toll is mounting. A key day was September 23rd when 550 people were killed in Lebanon by Israeli air strikes.Since then Beirut has been bombed: last Thursday two Israeli missile attacks hit the centre of the densely populated city, killing 22 people and injuring over 170.Irish Times journalist Sally Hayden lives in Beirut, 1km from where the bombs fell and she reports, that there was no warning from the Israel Defense Forces.She tells In the News what life is like in the city now, describes the escalation in the conflict between Israel and Hizbullah and why Lebanese people who see what Gaza has endured in the past year, fear the same could happen to them.International journalists have been prohibited by Israel from documenting events in Gaza which is why Hayden says it is important that journalists like herself report from on the ground in Lebanon.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Sally Hayden, Beirut-based Journalist with the Irish Times.

October 7th is a date seared into the memory of Israelis. It was the day last year that they awoke to an attack by militant group Hamas, on a scale never before seen in the decades-long conflict.When In the News first reported on the febrile situation, interviewing Mark Weiss in Jerusalem who assessed the likely Israeli response, the scale of the Hamas massacre was unknown. Today, we know that about 1,200 Israelis were killed by Hamas in the attacks and 251 were taken hostage.Israel's onslaught on Gaza in retaliation has been merciless and sustained. As the year has gone on, In the News has reported on many aspects of this relentless war, including on the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza with Unicef's James Elder; the escape from Gaza by the Alagha family from Blanchardstown who were visiting family when the war broke out; the case brought by South Africa at the International Criminal Courts of Justice, accusing Israel of genocide, with powerful testimony from Irish barrister Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh; the hopes in May of a ceasefire; and an eyewitness report from Irish Times journalist Sally Hayden on life in the Occupied West Bank.All episodes of In the News covering the Israel-Hamas war – including those mentioned here – are available wherever you get your podcasts.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

For nearly ten months, the eyes of the world have remained fixed on the devastating war and human catastrophe unfolding on the Gaza Strip.However, this war has not just destroyed the lives of people in Gaza – daily life for the three million Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank has also transformed since the October 7th Hamas attacks on Israel.The territory's economy has collapsed, unemployment is soaring, Jewish settler violence is on the rise and Palestinians say they are trapped by mobility restrictions.Earlier this month, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel's settlement policies and occupation of the territories were in breach of international law. The court's announcement is historic, but non-binding, so will it bring about change?And what is daily life like for Palestinians living in these occupied territories?Today, on In The News, Irish Times international reporter Sally Hayden discusses the week she spent reporting from the West Bank and the implications of the Gaza war on Palestinians in the region.Presented by Sorcha Pollak.

After more than a year of civil war in Sudan, the situation is being described as the worst humanitarian crisis anywhere in the world. The death toll is unknown, ten million people have been displaced and 25 million are experiencing catastrophic food shortages or famine. For those trying to flee, women face being raped and men murdered by members of the Sudanese military or paramilitary RSF. And yet the conflict has failed to garner the same western media attention or diplomatic as Gaza or Ukraine. Sally Hayden reports from Africa for The Irish Times. She explains the background to the war, the level of suffering being endured by millions and why any international efforts to end the hostilities have so far come to nothing.Presented by Sorcha Pollak.

Angela Staude"Premio Terzani"vicino/lontanoAl festival, che celebra Tiziano Terzani nel ventennale della sua scomparsa, un articolato percorso a lui dedicato: a integrare la 20^ edizione del Premio Terzani - che va quest'anno alla giornalista irlandese Sally Hayden e assegna una Menzione Speciale al poliedrico artista-attivista cinese Al Weiwei – ci sarà un'intervista d'autore con lo scrittore cileno Benjamin Labatut, finalista 2024, condotta dal matematico Furio Honsell. E l'incontro che vedrà protagonista lo scrittore bosniaco Damir Ovčina, anche lui finalista come autore di “preghiera nell'assedio”, accanto a Domenico Quirico e Paola Caridi. L'inaugurazione, martedì 7 maggio, sarà siglata dalla proiezione di “Tiziano Terzani: il viaggio della vita”, l'intimo biopic di Mario Zanot con materiali dell'archivio familiare e registrazioni audio inedite. E poi i libri, con la riedizione di “Lettere contro la guerra” (Longanesi) e i due libri di Jacopo Storni, “Tiziano Terzani mi disse”, e di Andrea Bocconi, “Viaggiare e non partire”, entrambi in uscita per Ediciclo. Sally Haiden"E la quarta volta siamo annegati"Sul sentiero della morte che porta al MediterraneoBollati Boringhieriwww.bollatiboringhieri.itNel 2018 la giornalista Sally Hayden inizia a ricevere via Facebook richieste d'aiuto da parte di prigionieri detenuti nelle carceri in Libia, migranti che avevano tentato di attraversare il Mediterraneo per scappare da guerre e dittature. A quei messaggi ne seguono molti altri che riportano foto trafugate delle torture subite nelle prigioni, insieme a informazioni sconcertanti che inizialmente nessun giornale era disposto a pubblicare. Hayden decide così di ripercorrere la rotta dei migranti, raccogliendo testimonianze uniche, interpellando vittime, governi, istituzioni e organizzazioni internazionali.L'estenuante percorso migratorio dall'Africa al Mediterraneo, fra morti, abusi di ogni tipo e riscatti esorbitanti, suscita indignazione, tanto quanto apprendere della negligenza delle organizzazioni internazionali come l'ONU e dell'impotenza delle ONG. Ma, soprattutto, l'autrice si sofferma sulle politiche migratorie dell'Unione Europea che hanno contribuito indirettamente ad alimentare il traffico di essere umani.Questa inchiesta cruda e coraggiosa ha la capacità di far emergere le spaventose contraddizioni di un Occidente che ha paura di perdere i propri privilegi. Riesce a scuotere le coscienze e a far riflettere sulle nostre responsabilità collettive e individuali, restituendo voce a chi se l'è vista negare.Sally Hayden è una giornalista irlandese. Attualmente è corrispondente dall'Africa per l'«Irish Times», ma ha scritto anche per «Financial Times», «Time», «Washington Post», «Guardian», «New York Times», collaborando anche per CNN International, BBC, VICE News, Al Jazeera e Newsweek. Ha fatto parte della commissione del premio anticorruzione di Transparency International e nel 2019 è stata inserita nella lista Forbes «Under 30» dei media in Europa.Il suo primo libro, E la quarta volta siamo annegati, è stato nominato come miglior saggio dell'anno da «New Yorker», «Guardian», «Kirkus» e «Financial Times» e ha vinto numerosi premi internazionali, fra cui l'Orwell Prize for Political Writing, il Michel Déon Prixe, il Post Irish Book of the Year Award e il Post Irish Book Award for Nonfiction.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

The Parliament of the United Kingdom has passed a controversial new law that would allow the government to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda. Under the so-called "Safety of Rwanda" bill, the Rishi Sunak government has pledged to send migrants from the UK to Rwanda, where their asylum claims would be processed. However, is Rwanda actually safe? My guest today, Sally Hayden, is a journalist who has reported extensively on migration and refugee issues. Last month, she was barred from entering Rwanda due to her prior reporting on the plight of refugees who had been sent to Rwanda as part of a separate, but similar, European Union program. Sally Hayden is the author of "My Fourth Time, We Drowned: Seeking Refuge on the World's Deadliest Migration Route," which won the prestigious Orwell Prize. In our conversation, Sally Hayden discusses her previous reporting on refugees in Rwanda and explores how this new UK bill fits into Europe's increasingly harsh policies towards refugees and asylum seekers.

I spoke to Sally Hayden about her book My Fourth Time, We Drowned. It's about people who tried to cross the Mediterranean Sea from Africa to Europe but ended up locked in detention centres in Libya. The book won the Orwell Prize and was shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize. She describes it as a 'book of evidence'.We talked about: her early reporting on the story while working for Vicethe role played by business cardsthe importance of making yourself contactable having to respond to sources at all hourshow the story took over her lifestruggling to get the story commissionedhow journalism awards helped change thatwarnings from MI6 that her life was in danger working out what the book would be finding an agent and publisher who believe in what you're doinggiving away her prize moneyYou can buy her book here: https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/my-fourth-time-we-drowned-seeking-refuge-on-the-world-s-deadliest-migration-route-sally-hayden/6026367She recommended Against A Tide of Evil by Mukesh Kapila:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Against-Tide-Evil-Whistleblower-Twenty-First/dp/0991099338And you can buy my books here:https://uk.bookshop.org/contributors/andrew-hankinsonThanks for listening.

UN data shows 3.2% of the global population are international migrants and in a year of global elections it's a hot political issue. Bloomberg's Senior Economy and Government Editor Alan Crawford joins us to talk through what's at stake. In the UK, much of the debate centres on the government's controversial Rwanda bill. We discuss the legislation with Jenny Jones, a Green party member of the House of Lords, and award-winning journalist Sally Hayden.

Mass death and disappearances have become normalized on Europe's borders. Back in 2015, when more than a million refugees turned up on Europe's doorstep to request asylum, the European Union cut deals with North African and Middle Eastern nations to hold back the flow of asylum-seekers. Since then, roughly 29,000 people have died or disappeared in the Mediterranean, reports the Missing Migrants Project.    And for the migrants who were were intercepted while attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea and forcibly placed in detention centers in Libya, they face inhumane living conditions, beatings, sexual abuse, starvation… and death — consequences of Europe's ongoing cooperation with nations like Libya on migration and border control.   In My Fourth Time, We Drowned, journalist Sally Hayden reports on the shadowy immigration system created by the European Union which captures and imprisons migrants from Africa to keep them from reaching European soil. In an interview with Senior KQED editor Rachael Myrow, Hayden explains how western institutions are complicit in this humanitarian crisis.  Featuring:   Rachael Myrow, senior editor of KQED's Silicon Valley News Desk   Sally Hayden, author of My Fourth Time, We Drowned and Africa correspondent for the Irish Times   Teklia Zumuy, teacher and refugee   If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.

On today's Free State, Dion and Joe are joined by Sally Hayden, a remarkable journalist covering the story of our time.Sally's book My Fourth Time, We Drowned exposed the incompetence and corruption in the EU's treatment of the most vulnerable in society, desperate families crossing the Mediterranean and leaving poverty and war in African countries.Sally reports from some of the most dangerous places in the world yet seems oblivious to danger. From Ballinrobe to Rosslare, hearts are hardening and human beings are brutalised and dehumanised. Sally talks about what she has witnessed, the mass death that has been normalised and gives an insight into what drives a remarkable and relentless young reporter.Sally Hayden's book "A magnificent, engagé investigative report… [an] act of witness...It is clear from [Hayden's book] that the current politics of immigration have turned & twisted human nature against itself and our own kind and are fostering unimaginable maltreatment of those who wish only to survive and live a better life… [It] strongly convey[s] the urgency of fundamentally rethinking immigration policy… It is already late to act, but that is a poor reason for inaction.” - The New York Review of BooksSally Hayden: Winner ‘journalist of the year', Irish Journalism Awards 2023Winner best ‘foreign coverage', Irish Journalism Awards 2023Finalist in the 2023 BookTube PrizeNominated for the Jan Michalski Prize for Literature 2023Finalist for the New York Public Library's Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism 2023Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.For more on Free State: https://freestatepodcast.com/To get in touch with the podcast: info@freestatepodcast.com Hosted on Acast.

In 2018, Sally Hayden received a Facebook message from an unknown sender, a man claiming to be writing from inside a Libyan detention camp. The conditions faced by him and his fellow detainees were horrendous, and his desperate message came from a phone shared in secret among hundreds being held. “If you have time, I will tell you all the story,” he wrote. The message kicked off a sprawling investigation that led Sally to interview hundreds of refugees and migrants who found themselves victims of the EU's newly muscular efforts to patrol the Mediterranean Sea. The result of that investigation was "My Fourth Time We Drowned," named one of the New Yorker's best books of 2022.

The West's treatment of refugees has become one of the most devastating human rights disasters in modern times.We're joined by Andrei Popoviciu (@AndreiPopoviciu), an independent investigative journalist, reporter, audio producer, and photographer based in Dakar, Senegal. There are countless misconceptions surrounding the refugee crisis, and migration from the Global South to North. We discuss the reasons why people decide to leave their home country, their journey to Europe with associated risks, the militarisation of European borders and the effects of detention centres on mental health. We also explore how public perception and attitudes towards refugees can be improved.

To understand the unfolding crisis on the Italian island of Lampedusa, where a state of emergency has been declared as 7,000 migrants arrived on boats within just 48 hours, it's crucial to look across the short stretch of the Mediterranean to Tunisia. Sally Hayden, who has been reporting on the migrant crisis and the EU's response to it, explains in this podcast why there has been a surge of people arriving on Lampedusa; why she believes Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni's proposed “naval blockade” will not work; the controversial €105 million deal between the EU and Tunisian president Kaïs Saïed, who has encouraged violence against black people in the country; and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen's visit last week to the Italian island. Hayden also tells In the News the story of Saad Eddin Ismail who she met in Tunisia and who left his home in Darfur, Sudan, six years ago, on a long quest to find safety.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Rainforests help prevent our planet from overheating and deliver the oxygen we breathe but are under attack at an alarming rate. This week, eight South American presidents have been meeting in Brazil, where they all agreed to stop the rainforest's destruction before the point of no return. But deciding on a destination is one thing, while agreeing on how to get there is something else. So how to turn talk into action? Gina McCarthy was EPA administrator under President Obama and subsequently served as President Biden's top climate advisor, helping spearhead a landmark climate bill to slash America's carbon emissions. She joins Christiane to discuss.  Also on today's show: Journalist and author Sally Hayden; British Labour MP Chris Bryant; Toshi Yoshihara, Senior Fellow, Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

An agreement between the European Union and Tunisia aimed at cutting of a key migration route to Europe has been heavily criticised by MEPs. Sally Hayden an award winning journalist & Barry Andrews, Fianna Fáil MEP for Dublin joins us in studio.

While the world closely followed the fate of five privileged men who went missing aboard a Titanic-bound submersible, a fishing boat crowded with migrants traveling from Libya sank in Greek waters. This upped the number of migrants who have died trying to reach Europe by sea this year to nearly 2,000. Award-winning journalist Sally Hayden joins Deep Dish to shed light on the underreported crisis of migrant treatment, the heartbreaking stories of those traveling on the world's deadliest migration route, and the inadequate news coverage and resources dedicated to this humanitarian issue.

This week Inside Geneva podcast host Imogen Foulkes talks to authors who have written about humanitarian topics.What is it like to track down human rights violators?“Each day in court, seeing Hissène Habré I would pump my fist: ‘my God, we got him.' But you never knew, and I have to say when they started reading the verdict it was such joy, but it was also a relief. I mean I felt like after 16 years, this weight had been lifted off me. I could finally recover my life,” says Reed Brody, author of To Catch a Dictator (2022).What are the dilemmas facing journalists covering humanitarian crises? Why should one particular crisis have more attention?“The more coverage of Ukraine, or the recent earthquake in Syria and Turkey; the more coverage a crisis gets the more likely audiences are to be aware of it, to care about it, and to donate to it,” says Martin Scott, author of Humanitarian Journalists (2022).What is the dark reality of fortress Europe's migration policy?“Suddenly you're in direct communication with a person who is telling you they've been locked up indefinitely, they're being tortured, they're seeing people raped or seeing people die as a result of European Union migration policy. And that's the moment when you go: ‘wait a second, something has gone desperately wrong,'” says Sally Hayden, author of My Fourth Time, We Drowned (2022).Please try out our French Podcast: the Dangerous MillionsGet in touch!

Niger is one of the world'd poorest countries. Like many other places in Africa, it is suffering from the worsening impacts of climate change. On a recent visit, Sally Hayden found poverty and other problems including an enduring culture of child marriage. But there were also moves underway to tackle those problems by the people of Niger themselves. And despite their relative lack of resources, the Nigeriens she met were happy to welcome refugees, hundreds of thousands of whom are arriving from neighbouring north-west Nigeria, where banditry and lawlessness is out of control. Sally talks to Aideen Finnegan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Irish journalist and photographer has documented migration, conflict and humanitarian crises across the Middle East, Africa and Europe. Her debut book, ‘My Fourth Time, We Drowned', about the treatment of refugees travelling to Europe, was named Irish Book of the Year in 2022 and won the Orwell Prize. Sally spoke to Georgina Godwin about the failures of NGOs, UN corruption and how her book began with a Facebook message.

Journalist Sally Hayden and Libya human rights defender Marwa Mohamed talk refugee detention centres and crimes against humanity in Libya.

Teklia Zumuy fled Eritrea, a small and autocratic nation in the Horn of Africa, in 2016. He sought out for a new life in Europe, and hoped to eventually bring his wife and three young daughters with him. But as he attempted to cross the Mediterranean Sea on a small wooden boat, Teklia and his companions were apprehended by the Italian Coast Guard and handed over to Libyan militias. He was held there for over two years, with inadequate food or health services, and with no way to contact his family. Teklia is one of hundreds of migrants whose stories are told in a new book by investigative journalist Sally Hayden. In My Fourth Time, We Drowned, Hayden reports on a shadowy immigration system, created by the European Union, which captures and imprisons African migrants in Libya, keeping them from reaching European soil. In Libya, they endure starvation, scorching temperatures, beatings and rape -- and are sold to human traffickers. In an interview with Senior KQED editor Rachael Myrow, Hayden also explains the role that western institutions have played in this humanitarian crisis.   Featuring: Rachael Myrow, senior editor of KQED's Silicon Valley News Desk Sally Hayden, author of My Fourth Time, We Drowned and Africa correspondent for the Irish Times Teklia Zumuy, teacher and refugee If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.

Sally Hayden the Africa correspondent for the Irish Times, based between the UK and Uganda focused on migration, conflict, and humanitarian crises. Hayden sheds light on a human rights disaster of epic proportions in "My Fourth Time, We Drowned: Seeking Refuge on the World's Deadliest Migration Route". It is an intimate portrait of life for detainees, as well as a condemnation of NGOs and the United Nations. But most importantly, My Fourth Time, We Drowned examines the resilience of humans: how refugees and migrants locked up for years fall in love, support each other through the hardest times, and carry out small acts of resistance to survive in a system that wants them to be silent and disappear, on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI 99.5FM.

Over four million people have fled Ukraine since Russia's invasion began. The support for Ukranians has been compassionate and heartwarming but it has also raised questions about why those fleeing North Africa and the Middle East are not afforded the same degree of sympathy. Sally Hayden is an award-winning journalist and photographer, and Africa Correspondent for The Irish Times. Her new book, My Fourth Time, We Drowned: Seeking Refuge on the World's Deadliest Migration Route, tells the stories of refugees making perilous journeys and seeks to investigate the murky politics that means not all asylum seekers are given the same opportunities.
