A student uprising shook Bangladesh, toppling its most powerful leader. After 15 years in office, Sheikh Hasina’s grip on power broke under the pressure of a movement that began with a dispute over government jobs, and ended with her fleeing the country. To mark the anniversary, here’s the first episode of 36 July: Uprising in Bangladesh, the new season of Al Jazeera Investigates. Connect with us: @AJEPodcasts on X, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube

Hace justo un año las masivas protestas protagonizadas en su mayoría por los jóvenes de Bangladesh acabaron en la huida atropellada y en helicóptero de la primera ministra Sheikh Hasina. Desde entonces, el Nobel de la Paz Mohamed Yunus dirige el país.Beatriz Martínez Saavedra es historiadora, profesora del Colegio de Ciencias y Humanidades de la Universidad Autónoma de México y experta en India y Bangladesh.Escuchar audio

Hundreds of thousands of young Catholics, including many social media influencers, have gathered for a vigil and Mass celebrated by Pope Leo XIV. Also in the programme: the former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina faces a criminal trial; Russia's Krasheninnikov volcano in Kamchatka erupts for the first time in hundreds of years; and the enduring appeal of Thomas the Tank Engine.

In July 2024 Bangladesh was rocked by protests. They were sparked by anger at widespread corruption, and the reinstatement of a quota system that reserved 30% of civil service jobs for families of war veterans. An estimated 1400 people were killed in the protests which led to Bangladesh's leader of 15 years, Sheikh Hasina, fleeing the country. After months of painstaking investigation, BBC Eye can now reveal how the police response to the protest unfolded and has verified a leaked audio recording in which Sheikh Hasina is heard authorising her security services to use lethal weapons against the protesters. We follow the story of one young man in particular, struggling to find justice for his 19-year-old brother who was among those killed.

On this week's show, we speak with author Aatish Taseer about his new book, "A Return to Self: Excursions in Exile". He shares why he has no regrets for calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi "India's Divider in Chief" in his 2019 Time article. We also report on how Bangladesh remains on edge as the country approaches the one-year anniversary of Sheikh Hasina's ouster. Plus, two North Korean defectors make their K-pop debut.

Join us for an in-depth podcast with Mr. Zakir, a renowned journalist from Bangladesh, as we explore the multifaceted journey of Bangladesh's politics, society, and rapid development. In this episode, we dive into the history of Bangladesh, from its founding and the tragic assassination of its founder to the significant political events that have shaped the nation. Discover how Sheikh Hasina's reign has influenced Bangladesh's trajectory and public image, and learn about the revolution that brought thousands to the streets. We also discuss the use of the term “Razakar” by Sheikh Hasina and its impact on political discourse, as well as the role of bank loans in empowering citizens to buy computers and drive technological growth. A major highlight is our analysis of how social media algorithms escalate geopolitical conflicts, fueling tensions and shaping public perception in Bangladesh and beyond. Mr. Zakir shares exclusive insights into the fall of past governments, the evolution of Bangladesh's economy, and the challenges faced during periods of upheaval. Whether you're interested in the numbers behind the revolution, the growth story of Bangladesh, or the influence of technology and social media on politics, this podcast covers it all. Don't miss this comprehensive look at Bangladesh's past, present, and future with expert commentary from one of its leading journalists

A BBC investigation has found that the former prime minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, authorised her security forces to use lethal force against protestors last summer. The evidence is a leaked tape verified by the BBC. An estimated 1,400 people were killed and 12,000 injured during the student protests against a new law restricting access to government jobs. Also in the programme: has Donald Trump lost his patience with Vladimir Putin – and how is the Russian president responding? And as it's announced that the Bayeux Tapestry will be loaned to the UK next year, more than 900 years after its creation, we ask: is it actually coming home?(IMAGE: Former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, chief of opposition Bangladesh Awami League, speaks at a rally in Dhaka on March 7, 2002 / CREDIT: Reuters/Rafiqur Rahman/NA/CP/File Photo)

Rajini Vaidyanathan, BBC News presenter and correspondent, speaks to Muhammad Yunus, interim leader of Bangladesh.The 84-year-old is perhaps one of the world's best-known Bangladeshis. Described as the banker to the world's poor, he gained international recognition as a Nobel prize-winning economist, who founded the Grameen microfinance bank, which delivered small loans to economically deprived people.It was a model applauded by many and is one which now operates across more than 100 countries worldwide. But it's also a model which was criticised by his political rival - Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who accused Mr Yunus of sucking blood from the poor. Her government made a series of allegations against him, including embezzlement, all of which he denies.And it was the overthrow of Sheikh Hasina's government last August that saw Muhammad Yunus thrust into the political spotlight.Student-led protests saw thousands take to the streets in an uprising against her Awami league government, which was accused of election rigging, human rights abuses and jailing critics.When Ms Hasina fled to neighbouring India, student leaders picked Muhammad Yunus to unite a divided nation. As well as promising to stamp out corruption, he's also faced the challenges of managing a refugee crisis on his doorstep and navigating cuts to foreign aid.So, after nearly a year in the job, how is he faring?

Pakistan faces a major territorial challenge as the Balochistan independence movement gains momentum, with increasing protests and separatist demands threatening the country's integrity. Meanwhile, Bangladesh is in political turmoil following the ousting of Sheikh Hasina, as student-led protests have resulted in the formation of a new political party, raising concerns of instability. With the Army Chief warning of potential anarchy, the situation remains tense. These developments, coupled with shifting global dynamics and Trump's political maneuvers, indicate a period of significant geopolitical change.

Bangladesh's development story in the 21st century is often regarded as a model of resilience and progress. But on 5 August 2024, student-led protests and public unrest caused Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh's prime minister, to resign and flee to India. An interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, took over. Six months on, Bangladesh's political and economic future is unclear. Imran Matin, Executive Director, BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD), is one of the experts in Bangladesh who are attempting to discover and communicate a clearer picture of the country's present – and its options for the future. He talks to Tim Phillips about how evidence-based policy can give the country a path forward.

After student protests toppled Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina last year, New Delhi and Dhaka have been at odds. Indian politicians complain about Hindus being mistreated in the Muslim-majority country; Bangladesh's interim government fears that Hasina may launch a bid to return to power from India. It's the latest development in what's become an extremely complicated environment in what Avinash Paliwal calls “India's Near East”: India, Bangladesh (or East Pakistan before the 1970s), and Myanmar (or Burma before the 1980s). As Avinash explains his book India's Near East: A New History (Hurst: 2024), successive Indian leaders tried to get a handle on international tensions and ethnic conflict—and with a major external threat in China looming in the distance. Avinash Paliwal is Reader in International Relations at SOAS University of London, specialising in South Asian strategic affairs.

Day four of the truce reveals grim discoveries in Gaza, with 120 bodies found in bombed homes. While over 2,400 humanitarian aid trucks have entered the enclave, challenges persist. The aid flow offers some relief, but Gaza's recovery remains overshadowed by the devastation of Israel's 15-month brutal war. Türkiye declared a national day of mourning after a devastating fire at the Grand Kartal Hotel in Bolu claimed at least 70 lives and injured 51 others. President Erdogan expressed condolences and vowed accountability for the tragedy at the popular ski resort. Calling for unity and compassion, he urged all sectors to respect the nation's grief during this difficult time. As rescue operations concluded, the country reflected on the immense loss and renewed calls for safety measures. Donald Trump kicks off his new presidency with a bold move, firing 1,000 opponents in his administration. His late-night Truth Social post announced the dismissal of key figures, including retired General Mark Milley. While Trump pushes to reshape the government, critics and even religious leaders urge him to prioritise unity and compassion, especially for immigrants. A report reveals that children were held in secret detention centres during Sheikh Hasina's tenure as Bangladesh's prime minister. Babies were reportedly used as leverage during interrogations, with mothers denied basic needs like milk. The commission investigating enforced disappearances uncovered multiple cases, including a pregnant woman beaten in custody. Hasina, now in exile after a student-led revolution, faces arrest for crimes against humanity. Chinese astronauts aboard the Tiangong space station produced oxygen and rocket fuel components through artificial photosynthesis.

In the aftermath of Bangladesh's political unrest and the student-led protests that led to the collapse of Sheikh Hasina's government in August 2024, the country is facing a period of transition and uncertainty. Amid the chaos, harrowing videos and reports of violent attacks against the Hindu minority flooded social media—images of burning buildings, horrifying violence, and women weeping as they pleaded for help. However, some began to doubt the veracity and authenticity of these videos after they seemed to be sensationalised by right-wing influencers and news outlets in neighbouring India.Despite this, shocking new videos of alleged attacks continue to appear on social media, with little or no acknowledgement from a world that is now questioning their legitimacy. In the first episode of a two-part series for BBC World Service's Heart & Soul, reporter Sahar Zand travels to Bangladesh to investigate the truth behind the contradictory news headlines and the contrasting videos emerging daily online. There, Sahar follows two Hindu university students, Sukanto and Banamali, who have made it their mission to verify and document what they describe as brutal assaults on their community, determined to set the record straight.Sahar follows Sukanto and Banamali as they travel to some of the worst-affected areas, and sees and hears firsthand accounts of homes burned, families separated, temples desecrated, and entire villages torn apart by mob violence. Despite their tireless efforts to report the truth, the two friends say that the Hindu experience in Bangladesh has been met with silence from both the world's media and the country's authorities.

durée : 00:05:15 - La Revue de presse internationale - par : Catherine Duthu - Il y a cinq mois environ, des milliers de Bangladais, donc beaucoup d'étudiants, renversaient la Première ministre Sheikh Hasina, au pouvoir depuis 15 ans. Aujourd'hui, ces jeunes sont déterminés, malgré le défi que cela représente, à reconstruire le Bangladesh en une démocratie solide.

Dans le supplément de ce samedi, Grand reportage week-end vous emmène de Paris à Dacca. Notre grand reporter a pu accompagner le prix Nobel de la Paix, Muhammad Yunus, dans son voyage pour prendre les rênes du Bangladesh. En deuxième partie, nous partons en Indonésie, plus précisément à « Nusantara », la nouvelle capitale administrative du pays. La construction de cette nouvelle ville « verte », lancée par le président indonésien, fait pourtant débat auprès des ONG environnementales et de certains locaux… Bangladesh : 36 jours pour une révolutionQuinze ans de pouvoir autoritaire, quinze années balayées en un peu plus d'un mois de manifestations. Le Bangladesh a écrit une page de son histoire cet été. Sheikh Hasina, fille du père de l'indépendance du pays, était fermement accrochée à la tête de l'État. La « Bégum de fer » n'a organisé aucune élection libre depuis son arrivée au pouvoir en 2009. Lorsque les étudiants se sont mobilisés en juillet, elle a répondu par une répression sévère qui a fait plus de 1 000 morts, avant d'être contrainte à l'exil. Elle part en Inde.

Une célébration dans des conditions particulières cette année 2024, puisque le chef de l'État, Joko Widodo, a tenu à commémorer cette fête d'indépendance à « Nusantara ». La nouvelle capitale administrative de l'Indonésie. La construction de la ville, qu'on appelle aussi IKN (Ibu Kota Nusantara en indonésien), a débuté sur l'île de Bornéo courant 2022. Objectif : bâtir une nouvelle capitale « verte » et avec pour perspective « zéro émission », au centre du plus grand archipel du monde. Jakarta, située sur l'île de Java, connaît en effet de multiples problématiques : surpopulation, pollution ou encore des inondations très importantes au nord de la ville.

Quinze ans de pouvoir autoritaire, quinze années balayées en un peu plus d'un mois de manifestations. Le Bangladesh a écrit une page de son histoire cet été. Sheikh Hasina, fille du père de l'indépendance du pays, était fermement accrochée à la tête de l'État. La « Bégum de fer » n'a organisé aucune élection libre depuis son arrivée au pouvoir en 2009. Lorsque les étudiants se sont mobilisés en juillet, elle a répondu par une répression sévère qui a fait plus de 1 000 morts, avant d'être contrainte à l'exil. Elle part en Inde. C'était le 5 août. En plus d'un mois de contestation, un désir de justice et d'égalité a traversé la société bangladaise. Appelé en sauveur, le prix Nobel de la paix, ancienne cible privilégiée de la justice de son pays, Muhammad Yunus est désormais à la tête du gouvernement de transition. Muhammad Yunus que Nicolas Rocca a pu accompagner de Paris jusqu'à Dacca, où il allait donc prendre les rênes du pays.« Bangladesh : 36 jours pour une révolution », un grand reportage de Nicolas Rocca.
