Australian citizen and Irish resident, Robert Pether has been wrongfully imprisoned in Iraq since 7 April 2021. He and his colleague, Khalid Radwan were both detained in Baghdad after they went to Iraq to resolve a business dispute between the Iraqi government and their Dubai-based employer, CME Consulting. CME Consulting which is an engineering firm was working on the new headquarters for the Central Bank of Iraq. The project was hit by delays and increased costs due to the COVID pandemic and a dispute arose whereby the Iraqi government demanded the return of $12 million USD paid to CME Consulting. As a result of this dispute between the Iraqi government and CME Consulting – both Robert Pether and Khalid Radwan who work for the company - were detained and put in prison. In March this year, The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention stated that their detention is arbitrary and called for their immediate release.We've interviewed Robert's family twice before and since then Robert's health has severely deteriorated. He recently underwent surgery which left him with a 15cm wound that became infected. To make matters even worse, the deadly unrest in Iraq has Robert's family worried that any efforts to secure his release will be delayed. On this episode we speak again to Robert's wife, Desree Pether. She talks about Robert's health, how he's doing now, the recent call between the Australian and Iraqi Prime Ministers as well as the need for Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to create a special team dedicated to bringing Australians wrongfully detained abroad back home. Desree also tells us what the Iraqi and Australian governments need to do as well as how the public can help bring Robert home. We end the interview talking about Desree's concerns with the current deadly unrest in Iraq and how this may affect Robert's case.For more information on Robert Pether, please check out the following:Our previous episode: Ep 32, Ep 36Free Robert Pether Twitter accountSocial media hashtag: freerobertpetherGet the latest updates on hostage cases we at Pod Hostage Diplomacy are working on including new episodes by subscribing to our fortnightly newsletter, the Hostage Briefing.

Journalist Lynne O'Donnell gives us a rare first-hand insight into how the Taliban is operating in Afghanistan.That insight has come at a cost, her life threatened as she was detained by officials, despite entering Afghanistan with a media visa.She tells BFBS Sitrep how it was deeply frightening and yet ‘darkly satirical', revealing incompetence and chaos.

Time for another SITREP as the U.S. House of Representatives has passed H.R. 1808 and is working to enact a "assault weapons" ban that will have a far and wide reaching impact on gun owners across the country.

Additionally, I have an announcement around what's next for The Prepared Mindset and how it will impact our future.

China has just overtaken counter-terrorism as the biggest effort inside MI6, and the head of the Royal Navy says China is a bigger long term threat than Russia.BFBS Sitrep examines a list of top level warnings issued this week about the risk of conflict with China, and asks if Ukraine has taken our eye off the ball.As Ukraine tries to retake the port city of Kherson we talk to an MP who's just visited the country.And a year after he quit the government over the treatment of Northern Ireland veterans, Johnny Mercer tells us why he's returned as Veterans Minister.

Although cases of people serving in the armed forces taking their own lives are low – among men in the army the figures have been rising in recent years.Among some very specific groups of veterans the risk of suicide appears to be much higher – particularly younger men who only served a short time in the forces.As the government carries out research to understand why, BFBS Sitrep talks to a leading psychiatrist, a veteran with PTSD, and a campaigner who lost her husband to suicide about the true picture of suicide risks, how we can improve support, and the ways to help or get help.For more information visit bfbs.com/audience-support

The head of the Army has told his troops that they have a new main effort – Operation Mobilise.We'll examine the plan for more of the Army to be ready more of the time for a high intensity war, and what that means for servicemen and women.NATO wants to make its high-readiness force more than seven times bigger, up to 300,000 troops, in little more than a year. But can it deliver?The diplomatic niceties have been dropped, leaders are upfront about Russia, so is it time to admit we're in a second cold war?

The past week has yielded landmark Supreme Court decisions around the right to concealed carry as well as the overturn of Roe v. Wade, and also seen the signing of additional federal gun control legislation. All three of these are critically impactful to our country and in many ways controversial. I sit down, I share my thoughts and my feelings around each of these and how they all impact each other.

The battle on January 6th, 2021 was one that the good guys and gals won. Thankfully. Heroes like Officer Caroline Edwards sacrificed their bodies, their futures, and their lives, to win that battle. They successfully defended The US Capitol that day. They defended our country. And after the first few hearings held by the bi-partisan January 6th Committee, we can all see the truth now. It was a brutal, extended, coordinated, unprecedented battle. And it was a battle that the good guys and gals won. Maybe barely. That battle is over. But in this black summer of 2022, a year and a half later, the war goes on.  And this episode, we're switching it up a bit. No guest this time. It's just Paul Rieckhoff and you.  And a quick update with what you most need to know about the last week or so in America.  Soon, we'll have more important, inspiring and iconic guests that are shaping what America was, what America is, and what America will be. Some VERY good guests. Guests who are making and breaking news. And culture.  But sometimes this summer, we're just gonna fire off a quick situation report, or SitRep, of things you should know, might have missed, or need to see from a new viewpoint. An independent viewpoint. This is one of those times.  The January 6th Committee hearings (and video), Ukraine losing traction, progress on gun reform, veterans finally getting their due, a new round of primaries closed to independent Americans, Netflix making Squid Game a reality and much more. This is a fierce one.  Every episode of Independent Americans hosted by Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) breaks down the most important news stories–and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's independent content for independent Americans. And delivers a healing dose of the Righteous Media 5 Is: independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact. Always with a unique focus on national security, foreign affairs and military and veterans issues. This is another insightful pod to help you stay vigilant. Because vigilance is the price of democracy. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans will continue to be your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope. Stay vigilant, America.  -Get extra content, connect with guests, attend exclusive events, get merch discounts and support this critical show that speaks truth to power by joining our IA community on Patreon.  -Find us on social media or www.IndependentAmericans.us.  -Check the hashtag #LookForTheHelpers on Twitter.
