Yemeni researcher and political analyst Baraa Shiban (and dear friend of the show) is back not only to give us an update on Yemen now that the civil war (and Saudi Arabia's role in it) are heating up again, but also to give Thomas a much-deserved dressing down for not going far enough to hold Jeremy Hunt to account for his role in the Stockholm Agreement. Baraa explains: The collapse of the 2022 Yemen truce and renewed Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and Red Sea shipping The Yemen battlefield map: Houthi control of Sanaa, Hodeidah and the northwest versus government-held south and east The strategic importance of Marib and Hadramaut, including Saudi-trained National Shield and Emergency Forces Mocha, the Giants Brigades and the impact of the UAE withdrawal on anti-Houthi military capabilities The Stockholm Agreement and how the 2018 ceasefire strengthened long-term Houthi leverage Why the Houthis are escalating now and how renewed fighting serves Iran's regional strategy Houthi links with the IRGC, Hezbollah and Iraqi militias, including operations and financial networks in Iraq Saudi war aims, the Mecca Accords and the emerging Saudi–Turkey–Pakistan security architecture Follow Baraa on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/baraashiban/⁠ Follow Baraa on X: ⁠https://x.com/BShtwtr⁠ Join the Conflicted Community here: ⁠https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm⁠  Find us on X: ⁠https://x.com/MHconflicted⁠ And Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted⁠ And Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Uchoraji wa pembe(Qubical Drawings) ni sanaa inayozingatia uwasilishwaji wa ujumbe zaidi kuliko uhalisia wa picha. Katika makala ya Nyumba ya Sanaa juma hili tumezungumza na Maria Magige kutoka Daria Arts.

Ribuan warga Yaman kembali memadati jalan-jalan di ibu kota Sanaa dalam demonstrasi besar-besaran untuk menyuarakan dukungan bagi Gaza, Irak, Lebanon, dan Iran. Aksi ini sekaligus menjadi panggung unjuk kekuatan kelompok Houthi untuk mengirimkan ancaman dan peringatan keras kepada Arab Saudi.

It has been five months since the US and Israel launched their war with Iran, and the conflict has never really been contained. Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE and Jordan have all been hit by Iranian missiles and drones, Hezbollah drew Lebanon into a fight that is still going on, and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, with neither talks nor military action producing a lasting reopening. Right now, though, no front is moving faster than the one closing in on Saudi Arabia, and it is coming from two directions at once. In Yemen, a strike on Sanaa airport and Houthi accusations against Riyadh in July reignited a conflict that had been largely dormant, leading within days to attacks on Saudi shipping, a Saudi strike on Hodeidah port, and a Houthi claim to have hit oil facilities in Jizan and Yanbu, potentially the first direct strike on Saudi oil infrastructure since 2022. In Iraq, months of accusations that Iran-backed militias were launching drones from Iraqi soil culminated this week in Saudi Arabia joining the US in direct, public strikes for the first time, a move Riyadh justified as an exercise of its right to self-defence under the UN Charter. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher is joined by Douglas Silliman, former US Ambassador to Iraq and now President of the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington, Hasan Alhasan, senior fellow for Middle East Policy at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, and Elizabeth Dent, senior fellow at the Washington Institute, to look at how Saudi Arabia's escalation fits into the broader trajectory of the US-Iran war.

On entend souvent qu'une femme devient mère dès la naissance de son bébé. Mais dans la réalité, ce lien, cette sensation d'être mère, peut parfois prendre du temps à se construire.Dans cet épisode, je reçois Sanaa, une amie avec qui nous échangeons sans filtre autour de cette grande question : Est-ce qu'on se sent mère un jour ? On parle des émotions, des attentes que l'on porte autour de la maternité, de la culpabilité parfois, et de cette rencontre avec soi-même que représente le fait de devenir maman.Une conversation sincère, naturelle.Bonne écoute. ♡Retrouve Sanaa ici :https://www.instagram.com/sanaaaanana?igsh=MWZ4OXRuZ3FqaTE2Yg==ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّٰهِ اللهم بارك _______________________Tu peux soutenir le podcast en t'abonnant et en laissant un avis ♡_________________________• Toi aussi, viens nous raconter ton récit dans ce formulaire ANONYME : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf2lg3Ii64Hl2yfT36Ge9pSkS9P0sC5Rx9crv0VO_0-wiQ6Dg/viewform_________________________Retrouve moi par ici :https://linktr.ee/ummleya Hébergé par Acast.

Alors que le monde subit déjà les conséquences d'un choc pétrolier historique, les Houthis viennent de menacer l'autre grande artère maritime du Moyen-Orient : le détroit de Bab-el-Mandeb. En annonçant un blocus maritime visant l'Arabie saoudite, le mouvement Ansar Allah pourrait couper la principale route d'urgence utilisée par Riyad pour contourner Ormuz. Une décision capable de paralyser une partie du commerce en mer Rouge, de perturber l'accès au canal de Suez et de forcer les pétroliers saoudiens à contourner entièrement l'Afrique pour rejoindre leurs principaux clients en Chine, en Inde, au Japon et en Corée du Sud. Comment un mouvement yéménite autrefois marginal peut-il avoir autant d'impact au Moyen-Orient? Dans cette nouvelle analyse de 7 jours sur Terre, Benjamin Tremblay revient sur l'histoire des Houthis, aussi appelés Ansar Allah, depuis leurs origines politiques et religieuses jusqu'à leur prise de contrôle de Sanaa et à la guerre dévastatrice qui les oppose à l'Arabie saoudite depuis 2015. Une chose est certaine : en menaçant Bab-el-Mandeb, les Houthis viennent de placer un verrou sur l'une des routes commerciales les plus importantes de la planète.

Le conflit au Moyen-Orient s'étend à de nouveaux horizons, en effet un nouveau front s'est ouvert cette semaine en mer Rouge où les Houthis du Yémen, des miliciens chiites alliés de l'Iran, ont annoncé un blocus maritime de l'Arabie saoudite et un blocus contre les navires saoudiens en ‌mer Rouge. Qu'est-ce que ce nouveau front du détroit de Bab el-Mandeb peut changer à la guerre ? Quelles conséquences sur le trafic maritime mondial ? Éléments de réponse avec Franck Mermier, directeur de recherches émérite au CNRS, ancien directeur du Centre français d'études yéménites à Sanaa, auteur du livre Yémen. Écrire la guerre (éditions Classiques Garnier). 

Sanaa Pharayra runs the Romeo Roadshow, a Southern California-based program that brings miniature horses named Romeo and Ziggy directly into memory care facilities, senior day programs, and hospital rooms for people living with Alzheimer's and dementia.What began as a rescue project for a single abandoned, feral miniature horse has grown into a program now drawing research interest from the University of Southern California and Cal State Channel Islands. Faculty there are studying why repeated visits from Romeo and Ziggy appear to reduce fear and increase engagement in residents, even those who don't consciously remember the horses' earlier visits.Sanaa and Rupert dig into the neuroscience behind why this works, from oxytocin and cortisol to brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and compare notes on what it actually takes to train a horse for genuine emotional engagement rather than quiet compliance. They also discuss Sanaa's own Bedouin and Arab-Israeli ancestry, discovered as an adult, and what it might mean for the program's future.If you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome✨ "I call it the awe factor.

C dans l'air du 16 juillet 2026 - Ormuz : Trump hausse le ton La tension continue de monter entre Washington et Téhéran. Donald Trump a menacé de frapper des infrastructures stratégiques iraniennes, notamment des centrales électriques et des ponts, si l'Iran refuse de céder. Selon le Wall Street Journal, l'administration américaine étudierait aussi plusieurs options militaires, dont un engagement plus direct des forces américaines. Les déclarations du président américain marquent un durcissement du ton après plusieurs jours d'escalade. Au Yémen, de nouvelles frappes ont visé les environs de l'aéroport de Sanaa. Le gouvernement yéménite, appuyé par l'Arabie saoudite, a dit avoir voulu empêcher l'atterrissage d'un avion iranien transportant une délégation houthie partie à Téhéran pour présenter ses condoléances lors des funérailles du guide suprême défunt Ali Khamenei. L'Arabie saoudite est de nouveau évoquée parmi les acteurs impliqués dans ces opérations, dans un contexte de reprise des hostilités contre les Houthis. Cette montée des tensions ravive les inquiétudes autour des grandes routes maritimes. Le détroit d'Ormuz, par lequel transite près de 20 % du pétrole mondial, reste sous surveillance. Certaines compagnies cherchent à privilégier l'itinéraire passant par Bab el-Mandeb, malgré les risques liés aux attaques des Houthis en mer Rouge. Aux États-Unis, Donald Trump doit s'exprimer ce jeudi soir dans un contexte politique tendu. Il pourrait dénoncer de nouvelles tentatives d'ingérence et défendre son action sur l'immigration. Les opérations de l'ICE continuent de faire parler, alors qu'un Colombien de 26 ans a été tué par les agents de la police de l'immigration américaine, dans le Maine, ce lundi 13 juillet. Le président américain a également promis une "annonce très forte" lors de cette allocution. Donald Trump prépare-t-il une nouvelle escalade militaire contre l'Iran ? Le détroit de Bab el-Mandeb peut-il constituer une véritable alternative pour les navires commerciaux ? Pour quelles raisons le président américain prend-il la parole ce soir ?

Bridget Toomey — Saudi Arabia struck Sanaa airport to prevent Iran from establishing direct flights to Houthi-controlled territory; the Houthis have vowed retaliation, potentially targeting Saudi oil infrastructure or airports with drones and missiles, though they have avoided attacking U.S. vessels to prevent renewed air campaigns. (9)

Edmund Fitton-Brown — The truce between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis may be over following strikes on Sanaaairport, with retaliatory attacks potentially targeting major Saudi international airports and oil facilities; despite Iranianinfluence, the new Iraqi prime minister appears to be drifting toward the United States for security and stability. (12)

SCHEDULE JBS, 7-13-26.1914 PALESTINESamuel Ben-Ur — Israel controls 70% of Gaza, creating a buffer zone while Hamas remains on the coast; 98% of the population resides on the Hamas-controlled side, where the group exploits humanitarian aid for revenue, and the Board of Peace proposes a "pilot zone" in Tel Sultan for non-Hamas civilians. (1)Samuel Ben-Ur — The Board of Peace remains underfunded, with only $23 million confirmed of the $17 billion pledged; Hamas rejected an eight-month disarmament plan, its leadership has largely relocated from Qatar to Turkey, and Netanyahu's political standing depends on his hardline refusal to cede Gaza territory. (2)Bill Gertz and Gordon Chang — Rose Gottemoeller suggests Vladimir Putin nearly used tactical nuclear weapons in 2022 to stop a military rout, allegedly dissuaded by private pressure from the U.S., China, and India; reports indicate China is now providing covert military training to Russian forces. (3)Mark Simon and Gordon Chang — China released Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri following a request from Donald Trump, showing Xi Jinping can make concessions without losing face; however, billionaire publisher Jimmy Lai remains imprisoned for political crimes, viewed by the Chinese government as a significant threat and a "one-man wrecking crew." (4)Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotter — Guests pay tribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham, highlighting his role in the Abraham Accords and US-Israel relations; Israeli elections are set for October 27th, and regional tensions rise as the U.S. reimposes a naval blockade on Iran following renewed attacks on Gulf neighbors. (5)Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotter — Anti-Semitism is surging in the UK, leading to a £250 million government allocation for protection; Iran continues to act as an "octopus" of instability across the Middle East, and guests argue that dealing with Iran is the only way to achieve regional peace and allow the area to bloom. (6)David Daoud — Hezbollah fighters are integrated into southern Lebanese villages, making evacuation north of the Litani River unfeasible; while Lebanese law requires disarmament, the government lacks the will to confront Hezbollahdue to its significant social support, turning Lebanon into a hollowed-out, failed state. (7)David Daoud — Prime Minister Netanyahu uses theatrical tours of the border to project strength ahead of the October elections; he faces criticism for being unable to say "no" to President Trump, and ultimately the fate of Israeli military deployments in Lebanon and Gaza depends more on Washington than Jerusalem. (8)Bridget Toomey — Saudi Arabia struck Sanaa airport to prevent Iran from establishing direct flights to Houthi-controlled territory; the Houthis have vowed retaliation, potentially targeting Saudi oil infrastructure or airports with drones and missiles, though they have avoided attacking U.S. vessels to prevent renewed air campaigns. (9)John Hardie — President Trump signaled he will grant Ukraine a license to produce Patriot missile systems, though standing up production will take years; meanwhile, Germany is financing 50,000 AI-guided drones for Ukraine, which use terminal guidance to strike targets despite electronic warfare interference. (10)Edmund Fitton-Brown — The U.S. is reimposing a naval blockade on Iran after the collapse of the poorly drafted memorandum of understanding; Iran's economy is "choking to death" under these measures, and guests argue the U.S.must prioritize controlling the Strait of Hormuz through international cooperation and naval power. (11)Edmund Fitton-Brown — The truce between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis may be over following strikes on Sanaaairport, with retaliatory attacks potentially targeting major Saudi international airports and oil facilities; despite Iranianinfluence, the new Iraqi prime minister appears to be drifting toward the United States for security and stability. (12)Ahmad Sharawi — President Trump has agreed to review lifting Syria's state sponsor of terror designation to aid its economic recovery; however, the country remains unstable, with rampant ISIS activity and foreign leaders facing security risks in Damascus, while Turkey and Saudi Arabia position themselves to invest heavily in Syria. (13)Jonathan Schanzer — The naval blockade on Iran represents the "maximum pressure" campaign, effectively dropping Iranian oil exports to zero; this economic strangulation poses an existential threat to the regime, which struggles to pay its personnel, and recent direct missile exchanges suggest diplomatic understandings between the U.S. and Iran have collapsed. (14)Bob Zimmerman — China successfully recovered a reusable rocket stage, joining SpaceX and Blue Origin in the race for cheaper launches; on the ISS, a private company successfully manufactured human kidney and liver tissues, and SpaceX continues to break records, with boosters flying up to 36 times, significantly reducing satellite launch costs. (15)Bob Zimmerman — SETI has tightened protocols for announcing alien life to prevent "clickbait" claims lacking evidence, with scientists encouraged to be more transparent about mistakes and maintain anonymity during discoveries; future missions include deploying helicopters to Mars and launching the Habitable Worlds Observatory in the 2040s. (16)Corrections: Samuel Bener → Samuel Ben-Ur; Bill Girtz → Bill Gertz; Pastor Jyn / Ezra Jin Mingu → Ezra Jin Mingri; Jimmy Lie → Jimmy Lai; Thaddius McCotter → Thaddeus McCotter; Bridget Tumeh → Bridget Toomey; John Hardy → John Hardie.One question: the batch ended with "1-8" — I've numbered the full run (1)–(16), but if you wanted this split as tails (1)–(8) across paired segments, or only the first eight numbered, say the word and I'll renumber.

The Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted ballistic missiles launched by Yemen's Houthis towards the kingdom's south. The Houthis say they targeted Abha International Airport in response to Saudi strikes that damaged the runway at Sanaa airport. James M. Dorsey from the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies discusses the escalating Saudi Arabia-Yemen crisis on TRT World.

For review:1. United Nations Ambassador Mike Walz on Sunday said Cuba's regime is “a national security threat,” as the Trump administration keeps its sights on the Caribbean island nation.2. Yemen's internationally recognized government said it struck Sanaa airport Monday, as the Houthis blamed the government's Saudi backers for the attack, in the biggest escalation in years between authorities and the Iran-backed rebels.3. US President Donald Trump said Monday he would probably soon order a strike on the Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site, as he declared American military forces would hit Iran hard over the coming two days.The President's remarks came as the US military confirmed launching strikes on Iran for a third consecutive night.4.  Israel engaged in a multi-year effort to recruit and re-install as leader Iran's former hardline president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, The New York Times reported Monday.5. The U.S. will resume its blockade of Iranian ports, coasts and ships, according to a Monday announcement from U.S. Central Command, signaling an end to the 60-day ceasefire between Iran and Washington.6. US forces used unmanned surface vessels (USVs) for the first time in combat operations — striking a submarine and ship maintenance facility in Iran on Sunday, according to US Central Command (CENTCOM).

Sana Learning is a revolutionary product in the $400 Billion L&D market. Today I sat down with Rita Azevedo, Director of Client Engagement at Sana, to talk about everything. What is AI-native learning, how does Sana Learning fit into Workday's strategy, and how do companies like Polestar, Rolls Royce, Travelers, and others revolutionize L&D with Sana. And most of important of all, we get Rita's perspective on the reinvention of L&D, which we call “Dynamic Enablement for Growth.” As you'll hear, AI-native learning platforms like Sana can totally transform training teams, turning them into “business enablement” functions working directly in the business. We discuss how Polestar has done this in detail. Rita is an experienced L&D leader (having lead training at Klarna) and has worked at Sana since the company had only 30 employees, so she has a wealth of knowledge and experience in AI transformation in L&D. PS: We are customers of Sana (Galileo Learn is built on Sana, and our new Global HR Excellence Certification is built on Sana), so we can speak to its features in detail if you're interested.

runDisney didn't just tease a surprise this time, it delivered one that can blow up travel plans. We react in real time to the Springtime Surprise weekend shifting dates, what that means for resort reservations and DVC juggling, and why having a good travel advisor can save you hours when Disney changes the calendar. Training talk gets practical fast: running in heat without turning it into a competition, how much to slow down as temps rise, and whether “real feel” should drive your pacing more than the number on the thermometer. We compare notes on when we start carrying hydration, electrolytes, and fuel, plus what pre-hydration looks like before a long run so race weekend doesn't become a dehydration lesson.Then we pivot to something purely fun: a Disney parks and resorts “last meal” draft inspired by the Last Meal podcast. Expect strong opinions and deep cuts, from Sanaa bread service and Morimoto favorites to Tonga Toast, Zebra Domes, Dole Whips, and the Beaches and Cream Kitchen Sink.

A Disneyland family walks into Walt Disney World thinking they've got the playbook, then Florida's scale, transportation, and next-level ride roster rewrites the plan. We're joined by McCayla, former PlanDisney panelist and seasoned Disneyland expert, fresh off a quick Disney World trip with her two kids who had never visited the Orlando parks before. What starts as a “thank you” celebration turns into a week of new favorites, big feelings, and a few moments where the Disney tiki room gods clearly laugh at the plan. We talk through the choices that made the trip work, starting with a split stay that includes Animal Kingdom Lodge and five nights at Disney's Beach Club Resort. McCayla shares why Beach Club's location near Epcot and that “mini water park” pool changed the family's pace, plus what it's like to adjust from Anaheim's walkability to Walt Disney World buses and travel time. We also get candid about Disney hospitality, the power of the Disney World bubble, and how dining experiences like Topolino's Terrace and Sanaa's bread service can feel closer to Disney Cruise Line service than you might expect. Then we get to the good stuff: first big park moments, the surprising kid reactions, and the ride rankings that shift in real time. Tron Lightcycle Run becomes the obsession, Cosmic Rewind delivers a story-worthy recovery when the first ride goes wrong, and Epcot quietly steals the “favorite park” crown. If you're a Disneyland regular planning your first Walt Disney World vacation, you'll leave with practical planning tips, honest tradeoffs, and a clearer sense of how to pick priorities without trying to do it all. If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a Disney friend, and leave a rating and review so more travelers can find the show.You can find more from McCayla on Substack and Instagram - check out https://linktr.ee/mc.and.mouse.club for links to everything.----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.

Some of the patterns running your life are not personality traits. They're old survival strategies wearing your clothes.   That reaction you keep having? That relationship cycle you keep repeating? That habit you swear you're done with until life presses the right bruise? Yeah. That might be your shadow talking. In this episode of Triggered AF Podcast, Alechia and Dani sit down with Dr. Sanaa Jaman for a powerful conversation about shadow work, breaking patterns, emotional healing, trauma, intuition, and reconnecting with the body. This conversation pulls shadow work out of the spooky corner of the internet and brings it back to where it belongs: the nervous system, the emotions we buried, and the parts of ourselves we learned to silence in order to survive. Because shadow work is not about becoming darker, it's about being honest. Dr. Sanaa breaks down how anger, grief, shame, guilt, jealousy, fear, and even manipulation can become disowned parts of us when we numb, avoid, or tuck them away for too long. But buried does not mean gone, those emotions still speak. They show up in our reactions, habits, relationships, and the quiet ways we disconnect from ourselves.   Alechia, Dani, and Dr. Sanaa also explore the difference between trauma and painful life experiences, why community can transform pain into initiation, and how intuition is not something you think your way into. It is something your body feels before your mind can explain it.   ✨ SPONSORED BY: Just Thrive Now Dinner Series | http://justthrivenow.com   Triggered Truths We Unpack in This Episode: Shadow work isn't bad or scary. It's the process of reconnecting with the parts of yourself you've suppressed, rejected, or avoided. Anger, grief, shame, guilt, jealousy & fear don't disappear when ignored. They show up in your habits, reactions, and relationships. Dissociation from the body disconnects us from intuition, emotional awareness, and our true needs. Emotions are tools filled with information designed to prepare us for life's inevitable storms. If you don't feel it, you can't heal it. Avoidance delays healing. It does not prevent pain. Trauma is not simply a bad experience. It is what happens when painful experiences are not witnessed, held, or supported. Community can transform pain into initiation, growth, and deeper self-understanding. Intuition is felt, not thought. Your body often knows before your mind can explain. Embodiment means learning to trust the signals your body has been sending all along.

Elisabeth Kendall speaks to EI's Jack Dickens about what motivates the Houthis. Following the outbreak of the war in Iran, the Yemeni militant group now has an outsized ability to disrupt global trade and threaten regional stability in the Middle East. But who are they and what do they really want?Image: A protester at a pro-Palestine demonstration in Sanaa, Yemen. Credit: Alamy

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi movement have launched a missile strike on Israel for first time since the war began.The group says it fired a barrage of ballistic missiles "targeting sensitive Israeli military sites", after Israel says it intercepted a missile from Yemen. The intervention comes as Israel continues bombing Lebanon, aiming for the pro-Iranian Hezbollah, but catching many other Lebanese in its wake.Also in the programme: We'll hear from a mother and son forced apart for years by the state because she was unmarried; Nepal's former prime minister under arrest just a day after the new government took power; and a former Haitian culture minister turned documentary maker on the prescience of George Orwell.(Photo shows a Houthi soldier operating a machine gun on a pickup truck in Sanaa, Yemen on 27 March 2026.

SHOW 12-8-2025 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1895 KHYBER PASS THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE FEDERAL RESERVE  BOARD OF GOVERNORS. FIRST HOUR 9-915 The DC Shooter, the Zero Units, and the Tragedy of the Afghan Withdrawal: Colleagues Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss recent violence in Washington, D.C. involving an Afghan immigrant that has drawn attention back to the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021; the shooter, Ramanula Lakanal, was a member of the elite "Zero Units" of the Afghan National Army, a force that demanded priority evacuation for their families in exchange for providing security at the Kabul airport during the U.S. retreat, and while these units were stalwart allies against enemies like al-Qaeda and ISIS, they fought a "dirty war" and were accused of human rights violations, highlighting the broader failure of the withdrawal which occurred because political will faded across multiple administrations. 915-930 The Vetting Failure and the Lack of an Exit Strategy in Afghanistan: Colleagues Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggioexplain that the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was exacerbated by the lack of a methodical exit strategy, unlike the British who organized their departure and evacuation lists well in advance; critics argue that the U.S. imported significant security risks by rushing the evacuation, bringing in over 100,000 Afghans without adequate vetting, and while there was a moral obligation to help those who served, experts suggest that wholesale importation of citizens from a war-torn country was not the only solution and that better vetting or resettlement in third countries should have been considered. 930-945 Martial Law in South Korea and the Shadow of the North: Colleagues Morse Tan and Gordon Chang discuss South Korea facing severe political turmoil following President Yoon's declaration of martial law, a move his supporters argue was a constitutional response to obstructionist anti-state forces; the opposition, led by figures previously sympathetic to North Korea, has been accused of attempting to paralyze the government, while accusations of "insurrection" against President Yoon are dismissed as nonsensical, with the political infighting fracturing the conservative party and leaving South Korea vulnerable to the North Korean regime in a way not seen since the Korean War. 945-1000 Japan Stands Up for Taiwan While Canada Demurs: Colleagues Charles Burton and Gordon Chang report that Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi recently declared that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be a "survival threatening situation" for Japan, authorizing the mobilization of self-defense forces; this statement has triggered a massive propaganda campaign from Beijing demanding a retraction, as a successful invasion of Taiwan would likely require violating Japanese sovereignty, while in contrast Canada remains reluctant to support Tokyo or criticize Beijing, hoping to secure trade benefits and diversify exports away from the U.S., leaving Japan isolated by its allies. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 The Survival of UNRWA and the Flow of Terror Finance: Colleagues Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotterreport that despite investigations revealing corruption and ties to terrorism, the UN has renewed the mandate for UNRWA for another three years; the organization's facilities have been used by Hamas and its schools have been implicated in radicalizing children, yet international efforts to replace it have stalled, while Hamas leadership refuses to disarm or accept international oversight, demanding a Palestinian state as a precondition for any change, with financial support for terror groups continuing to flow through networks in Europe and the Middle East. 1015-1030 Greece's "Achilles Shield" and Israel's Iron Beam Laser Defense: Colleagues Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus McCotter report that Greece is undertaking a historic modernization of its armed forces, unveiling a new national defense strategy focused on long-range missiles and a modernized air defense system dubbed "Achilles Shield," allowing Greece to project power more flexibly in the Eastern Mediterranean and counter threats from Turkey; in Israel, a major defensive breakthrough is imminent with the deployment of the "Iron Beam," a laser defense system capable of intercepting threats at approximately $50 per shot, expected to rewrite the rules of air defense by effectively countering drone swarms and missiles. 1030-1045 Hezbollah's Quiet Regeneration Under Naim Qassem: Colleagues David Daoud and Bill Roggio report that since the ceasefire began, Hezbollah has received at least $2 billion from Iran and is actively rearming and regenerating its forces in Lebanon; the terror group is focusing on acquiring drone swarms and other asymmetrical weapons that are cheap to produce and difficult for Israel to counter, while Hezbollah's new leader Naim Qassem is leveraging his "bookish" and underestimated persona to lower the temperature and allow the group to rebuild without attracting the same level of scrutiny as his predecessor. 1045-1100 Fragmentation in Yemen: The Southern Transitional Council Advances: Colleagues Bridget Tumi and Bill Roggio report that the civil war in Yemen is fracturing further as the Southern Transitional Council, which advocates for southern secession, advances into eastern governorates to secure territory and combat smuggling; this move has heightened tensions within the anti-Houthi coalition, as the STC is backed by the UAE while other government factions are supported by Saudi Arabia, weakening the collective effort against the Houthis who control the capital Sanaa and maintain ambitions to conquer the entire country. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 The Druze National Guard and Internal Strife in Southern Syria: Colleagues Ahmad Sharawi and Bill Roggio report that instability is growing in Syria's Druze-majority Suwayda province, where a newly formed "National Guard" militia has begun arresting and killing political opponents; the militia is spiritually guided by Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, who has consolidated power by sidelining other Druze leaders who were open to reconciliation with the Assad regime, with Turkey expressing support for the anti-Assad Druze factions against both the Syrian government and Kurdish forces, while recent violence suggests a hardening of anti-regime sentiment. 1115-1130 The "Variable Geometry" of the Muslim Brotherhood and Its Global Affiliates: Colleagues Edmund Fitton-Brown and Bill Roggio explain that the Muslim Brotherhood operates as a "mothership" for various Islamist movements, utilizing a strategy of "variable geometry" to adapt to local political environments while aiming for a global caliphate; Hamas functions as the Palestinian branch of the Brotherhood and despite being severely damaged by the war with Israel remains the dominant force in Gaza, with the Brotherhood finding state sponsorship primarily in Qatar, which provides funding and media support via Al Jazeera, and Turkey, where President Erdogan acts as a leader for the organization. 1130-1145 Ukraine Negotiations Hit a Cul-de-Sac Amidst Infiltration Tactics: Colleagues John Hardie and Bill Roggio report that peace talks regarding Ukraine are currently at a standstill, with the U.S. and Ukraine at odds over Russia's demands for territory in the Donbas versus Ukraine's need for meaningful security guarantees; while the U.S. has pressured Ukraine to concede territory, the security assurances offered are viewed skeptically by Kyiv, and Russia refuses to accept any Western military presence in Ukraine, while on the battlefield Russia employs infiltration tactics using small groups, sometimes single soldiers, to penetrate deep into Ukrainian positions. 1145-1200 The Trump Corollary: Reviving the Monroe Doctrine in Latin America: Colleague Ernesto Araújo discusses a new "Trump corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine reshaping U.S. policy in the Americas, signaling a more assertive stance against foreign influence and authoritarian regimes; this shift is evident in Venezuela, where President Maduro appears to be negotiating his exit in the face of U.S. pressure, while in Brazil the administration of Lula da Silva faces significant instability due to a massive banking scandal linking the government to money laundering and organized crime, with the new application of the Monroe Doctrine suggesting the U.S. will favor political figures aligned with its security strategy. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Devil's Advocates: Robert Stryk, Rudy Giuliani, and the Business of Influence: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel discusses how in the power vacuum created by Donald Trump's arrival in Washington, unconventional lobbyists like Robert Stryk rose to prominence by marketing access to the new administration; Stryk, described as an "anti-hero" with a checkered business past, hosted a lavish event at the Hay-Adams Hotel to legitimize the regime of Joseph Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo, successfully delivering Rudy Giuliani as Trump's personal attorney, signaling a new informal channel for foreign diplomacy and highlighting how foreign regimes utilized large sums of money and unconventional intermediaries to seek favor. 1215-1230 The Accidental Diplomat: Robert Stryk and the New Zealand Connection: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel explains that Robert Stryk's rise in the lobbying world was fueled by serendipity and bold bluffs, exemplified by a chance encounter with a New Zealand diplomat at a cafe; the diplomat revealed that New Zealand, having prepared for a Clinton victory, had no contacts within the incoming Trump team and could not arrange a congratulatory call between their Prime Minister and the President-elect, and Stryk, leveraging a connection to a former Trump campaign field director, provided a phone number that successfully connected the embassy to Trump's team, establishing his credibility and launching his career in high-stakes foreign lobbying. 1230-1245 Hunter Biden, Chinese Spies, and the Monetization of Political Connections: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel reports that following his father's departure from the vice presidency, Hunter Biden faced financial pressure and sought lucrative foreign clients, leading to risky entanglements; one venture involved a corrupt Romanian real estate magnate who hired Hunter along with former FBI Director Louis Freeh and Rudy Giuliani to resolve his legal troubles, with the proposed solution involving selling land including the site of the U.S. Embassy in Romania to a Chinese state-linked fund, and Hunter Biden was aware of the nature of his associates, referring to one as the "spy chief of China." 1245-100 AM FARA: From Fighting Nazi Propaganda to Modern Transparency: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel explains that the Foreign Agents Registration Act was originally enacted in 1938 to counter Nazi propaganda in the United States before World War II; at the time, the Third Reich was paying well-connected American consultants to whitewash Hitler's image and keep the U.S. out of the war, operating without public knowledge, and Congress passed FARA to create transparency, requiring those paid by foreign principals to influence the U.S. government or media to register their activities, with the law remaining today the primary vehicle for accountability in foreign lobbying

Fragmentation in Yemen: The Southern Transitional Council Advances: Colleagues Bridget Tumi and Bill Roggio report that the civil war in Yemen is fracturing further as the Southern Transitional Council, which advocates for southern secession, advances into eastern governorates to secure territory and combat smuggling; this move has heightened tensions within the anti-Houthi coalition, as the STC is backed by the UAE while other government factions are supported by Saudi Arabia, weakening the collective effort against the Houthis who control thYEMEN800 e capital Sanaa and maintain ambitions to conquer the entire country. 1800 YEMEN
