Qatar is home to the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East and maintains deep economic ties with Washington, cementing its status as a critical on-NATO ally. But this September, that partnership was put to the test when Israel, largely funded and supported by the United States, launched an attack on Qatar's capital, Doha. In this conversation, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani discusses Qatar's regional role, including its mediation efforts in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, and its response following the Israeli attack in Doha.   Background Reading: This article discusses how the strikes on Doha could jeopardize future ceasefires in Gaza.   Host: Ayman Mohyeldin, Co-Host, The Weekend: Primetime, MSNBC   Guests: Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Qatar   Want more comprehensive analysis of global news and events straight to your inbox?

“Sharm El Sheikh is famous for one thing above all else: diving. At Ras Mohammed National Park, Kevin, his son Ciaran and friends John and Len found ‘The Abyss' — a sheer wall that drops hundreds of meters straight down into blue nothingness.

Sharm El Sheikh is one of those places that stays with you. I remember looking up at the desert sky, a million stars overhead, and then sitting with the Bedouin, seeing a way of life that feels timeless. By day, it was dune buggies across the sand, diving into the depths of the Red Sea, and snorkeling straight from a beautiful hotel beach. The evenings? Markets buzzing with life, nightlife that kept Ciarán and his friends laughing till late, and the kind of energy that makes you feel wide awake no matter your age. That's Sharm El Sheikh — an incredible mix of desert, sea, and pure adventure.You can also follow The Top Travel Destinations on social media for updates: Instagram: ⁠@thetoptraveldestinations⁠X: ⁠@becreativkev⁠

On this week's Defense & Aerospace Report Washington Roundtable, Dr. Patrick Cronin of the Hudson Institute think tank, Michael Herson of American Defense International, former PEntagon Europe chief Jim Townsend of the Center for a New American Security, and Pentagon comptroller Dr. Dov Zakheim of the Center for Strategic and International Studies join Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss what's next as the US government shutdown enters its third week; President Trump imposition of new sanctions on China as Beijing increasingly demonstrates that it's no longer cowed by Washington; as the president weighed sending Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine for use against Russia, as Volodymyr Zelenskyy flew to Washington to make the case for US Tomahawk cruise missiles to strike Russia, the president had a call with Vladimir Putin and agreed to meet the Russian leader soon in Budapest, in a move that European leaders worry will undermine support for Ukraine; Sanae Takaichi tries to form Japan's new government; Trump's authorization of CIA cover action in Venezuela as US strikes against Venezuelan watercraft continue and US Southern Command Commander Adm. Alvin Holsey resigns over how the campaign is being waged; the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas goes into effect with hostages and prisoners exchanged, even as Israeli leaders threaten to withhold aid after the militant group failed to turn over all Israeli hostage remains it claims remain entombed by air strikes and would take time and heavy equipment to retrieve; Trump's Sharm El Sheikh summit; and the indictments against former National Security Adviser Dr. John Bolton and Carnegie Endowment analyst Dr. Ashley Tellis who are accused of improperly possessing and disseminating classified information.

World leaders gathered in Sharm El Sheikh on Monday to sign a declaration of peace in Gaza. But the resurgence of armed militias brings a new threat to the strip. Clashes have broken out between these groups and Hamas security forces in recent days, prompting fears of more violence. Back in June, a leak forced Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to admit Israel was “activating” Palestinian militias. These factions have been accused of looting aid and causing chaos. Now, with a security vacuum in the wake of a weakened Hamas, the question is: who will fill it? In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher looks at the rise of militias in the enclave and their collision course with Hamas. She speaks to The National's Gaza correspondent Nagham Mohanna, and Palestinian defence and security journalist, Hamze Attar. They discuss the repercussions of the clashes for Palestinians in a post-war Gaza and what this means for Hamas's future. 

In December 2010, the Egyptian resort town of Sharm El Sheikh, one of the world's most popular diving destinations,  was shaken by a series of unprecedented shark attacks. Over just a few days, five swimmers were mauled and one was killed in clear, shallow water. What followed was chaos: beach closures, international headlines, conspiracy theories, and a desperate search for answers. This episode investigates what really happened in the Red Sea that week — how a perfect storm of environmental disruption, human interference, and ecological imbalance turned a tropical paradise into a scene of fear.

Dopo due anni di guerra, dopo il vertice di Sharm El-Sheikh e dopo gli applausi e la standing ovation alla Knesset per il presidente statunitense Donald Trump, che si prende il merito del cessate il fuoco a Gaza e della dichiarazione congiunta sulla “nuova architettura di sicurezza regionale”, rimangono molte domande sul tappeto e tante, tantissime incognite sul “dopo”, ovvero su una pace ancora tutta da costruire fra Israele e la Palestina. Insomma, il Medio Oriente esce dalla guerra, ma non è ancora entrato nella pace: gli equilibri raggiunti sono fragili, carichi di difficoltà, ostacoli e problemi e rischiano di alimentare nuove linee di frattura: gli scenari sono nebulosi quando ci si è indirizzati, fra i primi scricchiolii, verso la Fase 2. Sullo sfondo restano gli interrogativi sul ruolo e sulla posizione dell'Europa e della Svizzera in particolare; ci si chiede se e quanto vogliono contare le diplomazie di tutto il mondo, oggi più che mai confrontate con una situazione geopolitica che cambia rapidamente.Poi, fra i temi di cui si discute, spiccano il riconoscimento della Palestina; il diritto umanitario; le leggi in vigore; la perdita di consensi delle organizzazioni e delle istituzioni mondiali; e le decisioni giuridiche dei Tribunali internazionali che in una scena dominata spesso dalla forza e da logiche imperiali finiscono con il passare in secondo piano e di perdere valore, centralità e riconoscimento. Quale sarà il “dopo”? È un piano di pace oppure un piano coloniale, che esclude il popolo palestinese, quello stabilito? Quali sono le prospettive? Qual è il destino della verità dei fatti? Da questa fragile tregua cosa scaturirà?Sono ospiti:Reto Ceschi, responsabile del Dipartimento Informazione della RSIRoberto Antonini, giornalista, reporter inviato in diversi Paesi e direttore dei Corsi di giornalismo della Svizzera italianaBernardino Regazzoni, ex Ambasciatore di Svizzera in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Italia, Francia e Cina

Die Tinte auf dem Vertrag von Sharm El-Sheikh ist trocken - für Donald Trump bricht eine neue Zeit an: „Gott segne den Nahen Osten“ sagte der US-Präsident während seiner Reise nach Israel und Ägypten. Dass die israelischen Geiseln endlich freigekommen sind, hat auch Tagesthemen-Moderator Ingo Zamperoni und seine Frau Jiffer Bourgouignon tief bewegt: „Ich glaube, man konnte das nicht anschauen, ohne Tränen in den Augen zu haben“, erzählt Jiffer über ihre Reaktionen während der Live-Übertragung der Freilassung. Am Tag nach den großen Emotionen analysieren die beiden Trumps Auftritte vor der Knesset und bei der Zeremonie am Roten Meer und was wohl von Trumps 20-Punkte-Friedensplan übrig bleiben wird, wenn nun die nächsten Schritte anstehen. Und blicken anschließend auch wieder über den Atlantik rüber - denn während sich Trump auf der Weltbühne als Friedensstifter präsentiert, handelt er innenpolitisch zunehmend alles andere als friedlich. Mit dramatischen Worten prangert er eine angeblich bürgerkriegsähnliche Lage in US-Großstädten an, die von Bürgermeistern der Demokratischen Partei regiert werden. So will er den Einsatz der Nationalgarde im Land rechtfertigen. Das sei Machtmissbrauch, kritisieren vor allem die Betroffenen und haben vor Gerichten erfolgreich geklagt. Die Mitarbeiter der Einwanderungsbehörde ICE suchen derweil weiterhin mit teils brutalen Mitteln nach illegalen Einwanderern. „Diese ICE-Raids durch den Einsatz der Nationalgarde zu flankieren, das ist nichts, wo man sagen würde, das ist Peace-Talk“, schätzt Ingo Trumps Innenpolitik ein.

#Medienlupe #PeterLewandowski #DNEWS24 #DonaldTrump #Friedensplan In Tel Aviv, Jerusalem und Sharm El Sheikh hat US-Präsident Donald Trump seinen Friedensplan für den Nahen Osten zelebriert. Sind Palästinenser, Araber und Israelis jetzt bereit für den wirklichen Frieden?Einschätzungen und Wertungen zu den Themen der Woche in der DNEWS24TV-Medienlupe mit Peter Lewandowski.

Oltre 20 leader del mondo si sono seduti dietro a Trump, al presidente egiziano Al Sisi, all'emiro del Qatar Al Thani e al presidente turco Erdogan per firmare l'accordo di tregua a Gaza. Anche il Madagascar è stato travolto dalle proteste dei giovanissimi: il presidente è fuggito dal paese ieri pomeriggio, dopo che parti dell'esercito e delle forze speciali si sono unite ai manifestanti che chiedevano più democrazia. Potremmo aver raggiunto uno dei primi punti di non ritorno del pianeta: le barriere coralline, infatti, non resisterebbero a un aumento superiore ai +2°C della temperatura media globale. Questo mette a rischio a non solo l'ecosistema naturale, ma anche il sostentamento di centinaia di milioni di persone che si nutrono di pesce.  Rassegna stampa: Con il Premio Nobel per l'Economia assegnati tutti i riconoscimenti del 2025, Simone Santi

Israelis all over the country erupted in cheer, with tens of thousands of people in Tel Aviv's hostage square celebrating as news of returns trickled in. Hamas has also handed over just 4 of the 28 bodies of deceased hostages, in what Israel is calling a “blatant breach” of the ceasefire agreement. While all of this unfolded, President Trump landed in Israel, where he met with former hostages and hostage families and gave an hour-long speech at the Knesset in which he lauded his administration's support for Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu's leadership throughout this war. President Trump then traveled to Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt, where European, Arab, and Muslim leaders are meeting to discuss Trump's plan for the future of Gaza. To discuss all the many dramatic events that took place on this historic day, in which President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu declared that the war is over, Dan was joined by Ark Media Contributor Nadav Eyal and International Law Expert Tal Becker. CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorADAAM JAMES LEVIN-AREDDY - Executive ProducerMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS - Additional EditingMAYA RACKOFF - Operations DirectorGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer

Wer glaubt, dass es bei dem Friedensschluss in Ägypten um einen gerechten Interessenausgleich aller Beteiligten geht, der wird vermutlich bitter enttäuscht. Es geht nämlich nur um die Verteilung der Beute.Ein Beitrag von Hermann Ploppa. Die ganze Welt schaut gespannt und gebannt nach Sharm El Sheikh und nach Kairo. Dort treffen sich Politiker, Diplomaten und Geschäftsleute, um ein Ende des blutigen Massakers im Gaza-Streifen auszuhandeln. Trump will schnelle Resultate sehen. Er schickt seinen Schwiegersohn Jared Kushner sowie den Sondergesandten Steve Wittkoff ins Rennen. Die beiden sollten den Kontrahenten aus Israel und der Hamas Beine machen, endlich zu einem vernünftigen Kompromiss zu gelangen. Denn das ehrenwerte Ziel besteht ja darin, das furchtbare Leiden der unschuldigen Zivilisten möglichst rasch zu beenden.In der ersten Vertragsvereinbarung wurde nun ein Austausch israelischer und palästinensischer Gefangener sowie ein Waffenstillstand vereinbart.Ist also jetzt alles bestens?Schauen wir uns doch einmal die „Friedensstifter“ etwas genauer an. Ist das Haus des Friedens nicht möglicherweise auf Sand gebaut?Tatsache ist und bleibt: die angeblichen Schiedsrichter Wittkoff und Kushner sind unverkennbar Teil der israelischen Partei. Und die arabischen Nachbarstaaten im Hintergrund sind auf das Engste mit Netanjahu und seinen Freunden verbandelt. Der einzige Spieler in der Region, der überhaupt die Partei der Palästinenser ergreifen könnte, Iran nämlich, ist von den Verhandlungen ausgeschlossen. Am Verhandlungstisch sitzt für die palästinensische Seite lediglich die Hamas, neuerdings flankiert von Vertretern der Bewegung des Islamischen Dschihad sowie der Volksfront zur Befreiung Palästinas (kurz: PFLP). Eine buntscheckige Delegation von Besiegten, die nichts mehr in der Hand hat als ihre 48 israelischen Geiseln. Die palästinensischen Delegierten stehen in den Verhandlungen einer Phalanx von Feinden gegenüber, die nichts weniger als die restlose Entwaffnung und Selbstauflösung der Hamas und ihrer Verbündeten fordern. Sollte die Hamas diesen Forderungen nicht zustimmen, dann geht das Morden munter weiter. Und, zumindest für die mediale Öffentlichkeit, ist dann die Hamas schuld an diesem Desaster. Friss' Vogel oder stirb.Der psychologische Druck, jetzt Trumps Diktat zu unterschreiben, ist für die Hamas übermächtig. Staaten sind nicht mehr die AkteureDie Beobachter der Verhandlungen gehen von vollkommen falschen Voraussetzungen aus. Nämlich, dass bei den Verhandlungen in Ägypten tatsächlich Politiker, Diplomaten und Hilfsorganisationen tonangebend sind. Und dass hinter dem Spektakel starke Staaten stehen, die einen Interessenausgleich anstreben.Dem ist aber nicht so. Der Mittlere oder Nahe Osten ist längst geeint – und zwar auf der ökonomisch-finanziellen Ebene. Die Akteure in diesem Theater: US-amerikanische, britische, israelische und arabische Geschäftsleute, die auf das Engste miteinander verzahnt sind. Und weil dieses Völkchen sich so herrlich einig ist, dass Nationalstaaten die Investitionstätigkeit massiv behindern, geht man munter dazu über, einen Staat nach dem anderen zu zerlegen. Nachdem man den modernen Nationalstaat Syrien zerlegt hat, ist jetzt der Libanon an der Reihe. Man muss nun nicht mehr Rücksicht nehmen auf das Gemeinwohl der gewöhnlichen Leute in diesen Territorien, die mal Bürger stolzer moderner Nationen gewesen sind. Das hat man zuvor schon mit Jugoslawien, dem Kongo und Libyen so gehalten....https://apolut.net/der-faule-frieden-von-gaza-von-hermann-ploppa/ Hosted on Acast.

On today's podcast:1) Israel’s cabinet approved a deal that will see Hamas free all remaining hostages held in Gaza in exchange for around 2,000 prisoners, a major step toward ending a two-year war that’s killed tens of thousands of people and destabilized the wider Middle East. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition gave its approval overnight, around a day after negotiators for the warring sides reached an agreement in the Egyptian resort of Sharm El-Sheikh. The deal is based on a plan unveiled by US President Donald Trump late last month and followed days of talks mediated by the Americans, as well as Egypt, Qatar and Turkey.2) Congressional leaders continued to blame the other party for the US government shutdown as President Trump doubled down on his threats to use the stalemate, now entering its tenth day, to make sweeping cuts to Democratic priorities and the federal bureaucracy. There was no sign of progress as government workers and military personnel prepare for missed paychecks and the general public begins to feel the effects of the closure on everything from taxpayer services to air travel. 3) New York Attorney General Letitia James was indicted by a federal grand jury in Virginia, making her the second of President Trump’s perceived political enemies to be criminally charged in two weeks. James was charged with one count of alleged bank fraud and one count of making false statements to a financial institution. The indictment made public on Thursday follows allegations from Trump administration officials that James engaged in mortgage fraud.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's podcast: 1) Israel and Hamas have reached a deal for the release of all hostages held by the militant group in Gaza, a major step toward ending a two-year war that’s devastated the Palestinian territory and triggered multiple conflicts in the Middle East as well as protests across the world. The agreement was reached early on Thursday after several days of indirect negotiations between the warring sides in the Egyptian resort of Sharm El-Sheikh. The ongoing talks were brokered by the US, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey and based on a plan unveiled by President Trump last week. 2) French President Emmanuel Macron said he’ll name a new prime minister by Friday evening, having for the time being avoided the need to call a snap election that would have deepened the political chaos in France. Outgoing Premier Sebastien Lecornu, who was tasked by Macron on Monday to negotiate with the political groups in the National Assembly, said sufficient progress had been made to allow work to begin on forming a new cabinet. 3) China has unveiled broad new curbs on its rare earth exports, as Beijing moves to shore up its trade war leverage ahead of a high-stakes meeting this month between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping. Overseas exporters of items that use even traces of certain rare earths sourced from China will now need an export license, the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement Thursday, citing national security grounds. Certain equipment and engineering technology will also be subject to controls, according to a separate release.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two years on from the last Gaza war, the world gathers again — but can any summit deliver real peace? The second Gaza aid flotilla has been seized, sparking outrage. In Chicago, life is called a “hell hole.” Meanwhile, Trump, Maxwell, and Epstein are back in the headlines, Macron's grip on France weakens, and there's even an assassination attempt in Ecuador.

Seit Montag wird im ägyptischen Sharm El Sheikh über einen möglichen Frieden in Gaza verhandelt. Die Terrormiliz Hamas hatte einem Teil von Trumps 20-Punkte-Plan zugestimmt, in Ägypten geht es nun um finale Lösungen. Über den Stand der Friedensfindung in Nahost und mögliche Fallstricke der Verhandlungen sprechen Antonia Beckermann und Wim Orth mit WELT-Nahost-Experte Daniel-Dylan Böhmer.

On today's podcast:1) The Trump administration’s push to deny back pay to federal workers furloughed during the shutdown sets the stage for another round of legal battles over the president’s control of the workforce. The White House in a draft legal opinion Tuesday suggested it may withhold back pay from government employees when the shutdown ends, raising the threat of lost wages for potentially 750,000 civilian workers and stoking a broader clash over how much employees are owed after a shutdown ends. Meantime, spot gold smashed through $4,000 an ounce for the first time, as concerns over the US economy and the government shutdown added fresh momentum to a scorching rally.2) Outgoing French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu expressed optimism that an an accord can be reached to allow the formation of a new government without fully endorsing a new proposal to rethink a controversial pension law as demanded by the Socialists. 3) Teams from the US, Qatar, Israel and other nations are headed to Egypt as part of a final push for a deal with Hamas aimed at ending the two-year war that’s devastated Gaza and destabilized much of the Middle East. A US team that includes US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will join Qatar Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and other senior officials in Sharm El-Sheikh.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's podcast:1) With the US government shutdown closing in on the one week mark, President Trump showed signs of cracking Monday, sending mixed messages about the state of talks with Democrats on their biggest demand. Trump, who had remained on the sidelines of negotiations for days, on Monday said he was open to negotiating with Democrats over health care subsidies to bring an end to the funding stalemate, at one point suggesting those talks had already begun. The remarks appeared to mark a shift after days of Republicans maintaining they’d only consider a possible extension of Obamacare subsidies after Democrats first passed legislation to fund the government.2) A federal judge declined to quickly issue a temporary order blocking the Trump administration’s plan to deploy National Guard members to Chicago to counter protests against the US immigration crackdown, while urging the government to delay the controversial plan until she rules. US District Judge April Perry on Monday said she could not rule immediately on a request by Illinois for a two-week halt to the deployment, which would include National Guard troops under federal control from Illinois and Texas. She set a Thursday hearing for arguments.3) President Trump is pressing Israel and Hamas to secure a settlement to the two-year conflict that’s devastated Gaza and destabilized the Middle East, with the warring sides starting mediated negotiations. A key sign of progress in the talks, taking place in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh, will be whether Hamas frees all the roughly 20 of its live hostages — plus the remains of those who are dead — in return for Israel releasing about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. Indirect discussions between negotiators about preparing the conditions for that exchange got underway on Monday, AlQahera News reported on its X account, citing unidentified individuals. Egyptian and Qatari mediators are working with both sides to establish an appropriate mechanism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, negotiators from Israel and Hamas head to Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt to start indirect talks over an end to the Israel-Gaza war. It appears this is the closest both sides have come to a deal since the war began two years ago. But Donald Trump's 20-point peace plan - which Israel has agreed to and Hamas has partly agreed to - is really just a framework, only a few pages long. So will the talks survive the detail? Adam talks to Lyse Doucet, chief international correspondent, about how the next few days could play out?And, yet another French prime minister has resigned, less than a month after being appointed to the role. Sébastien Lecornu, a former armed forces minister, was France's fifth prime minister in under two years. What does President Macron do now? Adam speaks to co-host of the Global Story Tristan Redman and Marion Solletty Politico's editor-at-large in France.

The chief negotiator for Hamas is reported to be meeting Egyptian and Qatari mediators in Cairo ahead of indirect talks, later in the day, with Israeli negotiators in Sharm El-Sheikh. They're looking to determine a date for the start of a Gaza truce and create conditions for the first phase of the peace plan, in which the remaining Israeli hostages would be swapped for hundreds of Palestinian detainees.

From Gaza to Sharm El-Sheikh, the struggle over hostages, ceasefires, and the very fate of Gaza itself is reaching a boiling point. Meanwhile, Iran is accelerating its nuclear ambitions with the help of Russia, China, and North Korea. And at the Vatican, a Biden ally at the helm of the U.N. migration agency is openly vowing to use the pope's “moral authority” to push mass migration.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. On Sunday, US President Donald Trump was asked by CNN what would happen if the Hamas terror group didn't relinquish power. Trump responded by text, “Complete obliteration!” Be that as it may, as Berman says, the Hamas terror group is treating the current talks in Egypt’s Sharm El-Sheikh as yet another round of negotiations. We learn about who is in the room where it may happen and what Hamas is demanding. Skirmishes are ongoing in Gaza despite a pause in offensive activity by Israeli forces. The IDF is reporting that it carried out a number of airstrikes in response to Hamas attacks yesterday and troops on the ground are carrying out defensive operations. Berman explains what "defensive operations" entail when there are tens of thousands of troops on the ground in the Gaza Strip. And finally, we speak about the large intercepted flotilla and the status of the hundreds of activists that were aboard. We learn that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg will be among more than 70 people of different nationalities to leave Israel on Monday, even as another flotilla is on the horizon this week. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Un Donald Trump ottimista continua a distribuire le carte nella difficile partita del piano di pace per Gaza, facendo pressioni sia su Hamas sia su Benjamin Netanyahu. Oggi, a Sharm el-Sheik, cominciano i negoziati per i primi passi verso la fine delle ostilità. Ne parliamo con Michela Mercuri, professoressa di Storia dei Paesi musulmani all'Università di Padova, e con Valentina Furlanetto, inviata di Radio24 a Gerusalemme.Il primo ministro Sébastien Lecornu si dimette. Quale sarà il prossimo passo del presidente Macron? Lo chiediamo a Michele Marchi, professore di Storia contemporanea all'Università di Bologna.

On today's podcast:1) French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu resigned Monday just a day after President Emmanuel Macron named a new cabinet, deepening the country’s political crisis. The premier quit less than 24 hours after Macron announced a government that retained most senior members from previous cabinets. That irked opposition parties looking for change, but in a surprising twist, the reappointed interior minister, Bruno Retailleau — who leads the center-right Republicans — also slammed the choice of ministers as failing to “break” with the past.2) President Trump is pressing Israel and Hamas to seal a settlement to the two-year conflict that’s devastated Gaza and destabilized the Middle East, with the warring sides set to begin mediated talks on Monday. A key sign of progress in the negotiations, taking place in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh, will be whether Hamas frees all the roughly 20 of its live hostages — plus the remains of those who are dead — in return for Israel releasing about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.3) Unions representing hundreds of thousands of federal workers asked a US judge to immediately block any mass firings by the Trump administration during the government shutdown while they press a legal challenge.The emergency request Saturday night to US District Judge Vince Chhabria in San Francisco follows what the unions contend are a series of statements from President Donald Trump and other senior officials signaling that agencies could take action on layoff plans as early as Monday. Kevin Hassett, Trump’s top economic adviser in the White House, said the administration is holding off on layoffs at least until Monday, when a divided Senate is due to vote for the fifth time on a stopgap bill to keep government open through November 21st.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Egyptian DJ Masry has been captivating regional and local audiences with his dynamic sets and waving textures of acid house.. Having started his musical career DJing in clubs across Egypt's coastal city of Sharm El-Sheikh during its heyday, Masry has recently become a regular in the region's dance circuit, going from opening to Dekmantel Soundsystem DJ Thomas Martojo in Cairo to playing Dubai's iconic Hence parties. He has also been manning decks in some of Lebanon's most famous clubs, including Beirut Ballroom Blitz, where he performed alongside Lebanese veteran DJ Eli Atala. Meanwhile, earlier last year, he performed at MDLBEAST's prestigious Soundstorm Festival in Riyadh. For Select 244, the seasoned DJ crafts some futuristic sounds, masterfully combining hardgroove progression with resonating raw vocals, aptly sampled from African tribal music. The set opens with brooding yet ambient drones, before quickly unravelling into heavy synth waves and repetitive wonky basslines. Energetic and kind of crunchy in a way, the set paints the image of an alien rising in the midst of a jungle.

It's the Middle East swing and James Gray, George Bellshaw and Calvin Betton are back home in the UK, picking the bones out of the action.

(Nikos via email) Danny asks "What's the deal with the ITF events held in places like Monastir and Sharm El Sheikh, how do they afford to host tournaments every week of the year without the backing of wealthy federations, at the bottom tier of the sport with no TV or gate money?"
