Podcast appearances and mentions of Tony Blair

In this thought-provoking episode of Breaking History, Matt Ehret sits down with journalist and historian Martin Sieff to mark the 30th anniversary of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's assassination, an event they argue changed the course of Middle Eastern peace. Sieff, a former Washington Times correspondent who covered Rabin firsthand, reveals startling insights into Rabin's secret peace negotiations with Syria's Hafez al-Assad, his conflict with Shimon Peres, and the Israeli deep state divisions that may have sealed his fate. Together, they explore the tangled roots of Zionism, British imperial intrigue, the manipulation of eschatology for political control, and how modern global elites still play by those same occult-inspired rules. From Herzl's utopian vision to Tony Blair's technocratic “peace boards,” from the Balfour Declaration's hidden motives to the modern Abraham Accords, Ehret and Sieff connect a century of hidden agendas shaping today's geopolitical chaos. A sweeping and explosive conversation that exposes how myth, power, and ideology collide to steer world history.

Former UK prime minister Tony Blair gave hand-me-down shirts to his chief of staff Jonathan Powell, Jacinda Ardern's chief of staff reveals the former New Zealand PM loves crime TV, and Arthur Sinodinos still can't call John Howard by his first name. These are just some of the personal revelations to come out of a new book called The Right Hand: Conversations with Chiefs of Staff to the World's Most Powerful People. Its author, Phoebe Saintilan-Stocks, speaks with Reged Ahmad about the influential and unelected powerbrokers who have had a front-row seat to history

Vi älskar våra suveräna mästerkockar. Vi välkomnar med varm hand Erik Videgård till podden.

Vi får också höra om hans cancer, om hur han en morgon i New York vaknade av att hela käken gått av.Vi får vara med om hela vägen tillbaka till livet igen. Och så får vi höra den i särklass sjukaste, galnaste och roligaste grejen i poddens historia.Är det verkligen sant att han lagat middag till Vladimir Putin?

Lately, everyone from Tony Blair to Daniel Yergin is calling for a “climate reset,” so I brought on clean-energy analyst Michael Liebreich to discuss his own, very different version. While others push expensive distractions, Liebreich argues that the inexorable growth of cheap renewables is already on track to displace fossil fuels, a “tortoise” strategy that will win without the need for crisis politics.

We're joined by William Hague for the latest in our series looking at how the biggest elections in recent political history were won - and how they were lost.We go inside the Tory campaign, in which Hague's Conservative Party tried to convince the nation it was time for a common sense revolution - and ended up resembling the protester punched in the head by John Prescott.From foot and mouth to Sharon Storer, from Thatcher announcing 'The mummy returns' to Oliver Letwin going into hiding, the team get under the skin of the campaign and ask why it couldn't make a dent in Tony Blair's popularity.

This week we got Piers Morgan, reborn as a woke person - Tony Blair, reborn as a green eyed monster and Reform - just being themselves.  Dale wins a pair of legal judgements, putting Reform's Tice back in the dock along with the Daily Mail and a pre-internet media law (sounds like an oxymoron).  Supervillain oil and gas company Shell are in hot water for making typhoons… Ban the Bacon gathers pace and our listeners get down to it - with Zac P and grass questions. 

Nederland is de enige democratie ter wereld waar een dode politicus met een fantoompartij bij Tweede Kamerverkiezingen ooit 26 zetels won. Nederland is evenzeer befaamd om miljoenen burgers die, voorafgaande aan de verkiezingen, met opgeheven vinger en grote stelligheid beweren dat het dit keer onmogelijk wordt om een coalitie te vormen. En Nederland is een land waar zo’n coalitie er altijd komt. Nooit niet. Kan soms even duren, maar een kniesoor die daarop let. Nederland is ook verslaafd aan clichés die, altijd in een wat andere variant, blijven terugkeren. Zoals ‘strategisch stemmen’ – wat dat ook moge betekenen. Ander voorbeeld: sinds de Tweede Wereldoorlog is er geen dag verstreken zonder woningnood. Met, net als nu, elke keer weer nieuwe schijnoplossingen. In de jaren 50 en 60 bedacht de regering ‘woningwetwoningen’, 55 vierkante meter oppervlakte, allemaal identiek, tot aan de voorgeschreven keukenkastjes toe. Armoe troef en het hielp geen zier. De eerste gastarbeiders , zoals ze toen nog heetten, werden in de jaren 50 en 60 door het bedrijfsleven uit Italië, Spanje, Marokko en Turkije gehaald, vaak via koppelbazen, de voorlopers van mensensmokkelaars. Sindsdien hebben we een migratieprobleem. Als een volgend kabinet woningnood en migratieproblemen kan oplossen, zou dat een historisch unicum zijn. Maar hebben we wel zo veel te mopperen? Kijk eens naar de wereld om ons heen. Frankrijk, waar president Macron aan zijn achtste premier zit, met altijd dezelfde problemen: het pensioen verhogen van 62 naar 65, en de 32-urige werkweek verhogen naar 36 uur. Op het moment dat een premier dat onderwerp zelfs maar nóemt, ligt onmiddellijk Air France plat, en binnen een dag de rest van het bedrijfsleven. Of het Verenigd Koninkrijk, dat de prijs betaalt voor die idiote Brexit en sinds Tony Blair geen premier meer heeft gehad die het zorgstelsel draaiende hield. Nu stevent het af op de onvermijdelijke ondergang. Volgens onderzoek van de Würzburg Universiteit zijn 9 van de 27 EU-lidstaten falende democratieën. Nederland staat op de zevende plaats op de ranglijst – OK, maar zeker niet de top. Dat is dus binnen de EU. Buiten de EU kijken we maar even niet, al kost het moeite de ogen te sluiten voor Erdogan en Trump, die systematisch bezig zijn de democratie uit te schakelen. Deze dag is een dag om een vakje rood te kleuren. Ga dat doen. Hoeft niet uit overtuiging – mág natuurlijk best – maar meer uit hoop. Eén ding staat vast: dat kabinet komt er.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michael Sheen is an award-winning actor.After finding his love for the stage with the West Glamorgan Youth theatre as a teenager, he studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. He spent the 1990s making a name for himself as a stage actor, shining in the classics from Romeo and Juliet to Peer Gynt as well as in 20th century masterpieces such as Look Back in Anger and Amadeus, receiving several Olivier Award nominations along the way.A relocation to the US in the early 2000s with his then partner, the actress Kate Beckinsale, and their young daughter Lily prompted a move into films. His breakthrough came in 2003 when he portrayed Tony Blair in a Stephen Frears film called The Deal. It was the beginning of what became an unlikely specialism: morphing into real people from recent history: Kenneth Williams, David Frost, Brian Clough, Chris Tarrant, and Prince Andrew – with two more outings as Tony Blair thrown in for good measure.Michael was born in Newport, South Wales, in February 1969, the eldest of two children to Meyrick and Irene. He grew up in Port Talbot from the age of eight and considers it his hometown. His first love was football, and he was spotted as youngster by an Arsenal talent scout to play for their youth team. His parents decided against moving the family to London and he turned to acting instead and graduated from RADA in 1991.Alongside the classic dramas, his range extends to appearing in fantasy and science fiction films such as The Twilight Saga and Tron: Legacy. Michael has said that the most meaningful project to him was a modern restaging of the passion play in Port Talbot in 2011, which involved the participation of a thousand local people, because it opened his eyes to the difficulties many of them were experiencing. He has since used his own money to fund the 2019 Homeless World Cup in Cardiff and set up an organisation which supports community groups. Michael lives in Wales with his partner, the actress Anna Lundberg, and their two young daughters.

By the latter part of the twentieth century, the world had become unipolar. The Soviet Empire collapsed even more rapidly than the British one had after the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. China was not yet the force it is today. The US was at the pinnacle of its global power.That made it all the more unbearable that it came under assault within its own borders by the terrorists of the 9/11 attack in 2001. A reaction was inevitable. We saw last time how it invaded Afghanistan, but that seemed barely justified since there's no evidence of Afghan involvement in the attacks. By 2003, the US as ready to turn its military aggression against another nation in what it called its ‘war on terror', a strange notion of waging war against an abstract noun. Concretely, its new target was Iraq. Sadly, however, Iraqi contact with the 9/11 attacks had proved as difficult to substantiate as Afghanistan's. But the US put together an international coalition for war there, as it had once before in 1990-91, to throw Iraqi invaders out of Kuwait.This though would be much smaller coalition, with fewer nations prepared to support President George ‘Dubya' Bush's new campaign. It didn't help that it looked suspiciously at least partly aimed at completing the work of his own father, George HW Bush, who'd been president during the previous war on Iraq, by bringing down the dictator Saddam Hussein.One of the nations right alongside the US was Britain. That would leave a lasting mark on Tony Blair's legacy. Which might as a result not have been quite as glowing as he might have liked.Our subject for next week.Illustration: Government buildings burning in Baghdad following a US airstrike in March 2003.

A fragile ceasefire in Gaza, the collapse of a UK spy trial, and a damning new report on China's exploitation of U.S. defense research—Chris and Matt unpack a pivotal few weeks in global politics and intelligence. They assess the Trump-brokered truce between Israel and Hamas, the role of Jared Kushner, Qatar, and Tony Blair in the deal, and why Netanyahu's legal troubles could upend it all. In London, they break down how a high-profile Chinese espionage case unraveled, exposing gaps in the Official Secrets Act and Britain's uneasy relationship with Beijing. And in Washington, Matt digs into a new Congressional report on U.S. taxpayer-funded defense research benefiting the PLA—from hypersonics, quantum computing, and AI—and the bipartisan effort to close those loopholes.

This episode examines the shifting landscape of Palestenian statehood as recognition spreads and new peace initiatives test the future of governance and diplomacy.Momentum around Palestinian self-determination is building. Following a landmark summit chaired by Saudi Arabia and France on the margins of last month's UN general Assembly, the UK formally recognised Palestine, with nine other countries soon following suit. At the same time, Donald Trump unveiled a 20-point plan for Gaza, proposing a “Board of Peace” led by Tony Blair to oversee governance, demilitarisation and reconstruction.With recognition spreading and new peace initiatives on the table, some welcomed, others highly contested - the questions are urgent: What do these developments mean for Palestinian statehood? How can governance be structured to support stability, rights, and accountability? And what is the role of international diplomacy in shaping a just and lasting peace in the region?Guests:Sara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODI GlobalNimer Sultany, Reader in Public Law, SOAS University of LondonNomi Bar-Yaacov, international negotiator, arbitrator and mediator Sultan Barakat, Professor in Conflict and Humanitarian Studies, Hamad Bin Khalifa UniversityRelated resources:Gaza and the 'day after' – international protection for reconstruction (Expert comment, ODI Global)Israel-Gaza crisis (Our topics, ODI Global)Stop the siege, stop the starvation – political gestures won't save Gaza (Expert comment, ODI Global)Political economy: an antidote to outrage on Gaza (Expert comment, ODI Global)Three key takeaways from UNGA 80 (Expert comment, ODI Global)

CannCon and Zak Paine kick off another fiery week on Badlands Daily as the government shutdown drags into its third week. After a quick dive into AI innovation and its coming impact on the workforce, the duo shifts gears to explosive developments in the Epstein saga, linking Prince Andrew, Ehud Barak, and Tony Blair to new revelations from Virginia Giuffre's memoir. They unpack billionaire Leon Black's disturbing ties to Epstein and the hidden hands behind global corruption. Then it's on to the “No Kings” protests, media psyops, and the growing manipulation meant to push America toward civil conflict. Trump's latest moves on pardons, peace negotiations in Ukraine, and bold strikes against drug traffickers get their own deep dive, capped with insight into looming globalist power plays like the proposed carbon tax and the latest Israel-Gaza updates. Smart, sharp, and unfiltered, this episode proves once again why Badlands Daily remains the pulse of the parallel press.

Israel says it will return to ceasefire after striking Gaza. We get analysis on the situation with Alastair Campbell, Host of The Rest Is Politics and Former Downing Street Director of Communications and Strategy for Tony Blair.

We break down Trump's Gaza plan: what it is, which countries are involved and what incentives they have (Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United States), and whether Israel will actually abide by it. We then weigh the pros and cons and tackle the long-term question re: What would be a better resolution to the Israel-Palestine Conflict—a two-state solution or a one-state solution? How would either work? Is it realistic over the long run, and what would it take to get there?In The Backroom (on Patreon), Benjamin and I have a nuanced discussion on immigration—what the left gets wrong, and what leftists & liberals don't understand about the rise of the far-right in Europe.

This week's show features stories from Japan, Radio Deutsche-Welle, France 24, and Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr251017.mp3 (29:00) From JAPAN- 97% of new vehicle sales in Norway are electric, with the goal of 100% to be reached soon. In the US tax credits for those purchasing EVs have been stopped, leaving GM and other manufacturers cutting back on production. From GERMANY- A large percentage of international news this week was focused on the ceasefire in Gaza. I thought this piece from Germany covered most of the discussion points. Distribution of food and supplies is restricted to less than half of what was expected. Gazans are returning to almost complete ruins, with water and electrical sources destroyed. Estimated costs to rebuild are $70 billion and will take a decade. An interview with Andrew Gilmour former UN Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights. He says the scale of the destruction to Gaza is the worst anyone has seen- it was bombed more severely than the combination of Berlin, London, Hamburg, and several other cities combined during WWII. He thinks Israel will impede removing 60 million tons of rubble and may destroy any new construction as they have done in the West Bank. He doubts that there will be any accountability for the war crimes that have taken place in Palestine. From FRANCE- The US military assassinated alleged drug smugglers in the Caribbean for the fifth time this week while Trump said he was authorizing the CIA and considering airstrikes in Venezuela. A discussion on whether these are first steps in regime change. From CUBA- The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Maria Machado was quite controversial, since she supports US intervention in her country.

***Live-Aufzeichnung von «Alles klar, Amerika?» ein Jahr nach der Trump-Wahl: Am 19. November 2025 im Kraftwerk in Zürich. Alle Infos dazu findet Ihr hier: tagesanzeiger.ch/allesklar***US-Präsident Donald Trump zeigt keine Zweifel, dass Frieden einkehren wird im Nahen Osten. Gleichzeitig will Trump die Hamas entwaffnet sehen – notfalls auch unter dem Einsatz von Gewalt. Ein sogenanntes Board of Peace, eine Art Verwaltungsrat für den Frieden mit dem Vorsitzenden Donald Trump, soll die Oberhoheit über den Gazastreifen übernehmen. Dieses Board of Peace wiederum soll ein Komitee einsetzen, das konkret und vor Ort für den Wiederaufbau des Gazastreifens zuständig wäre. Heissen soll diese Organisation «Gaza International Transitional Authority», der internationale und palästinensische Experten angehören sollen.Im Gespräch für den Chefposten der «Gaza International Transitional Authority» ist unter anderen Tony Blair, der frühere britische Premierminister. Blair hat Nahosterfahrung, er war nach seiner Amtszeit Sondergesandter des Nahostquartetts – bestehend aus den USA, der EU, der UNO und Russland. Ausserdem kann Blair als Friedensstifter einen Erfolg vorweisen: Er war massgeblich am Karfreitagsabkommen in Nordirland beteiligt und wurde mit Lorbeeren für sein diplomatisches Verhandlungsgeschick überhäuft, als er sich mit dem irischen Premier Bertie Ahern und US-Präsident Bill Clinton auf den Friedensprozess in Nordirland einigte.Allerdings ist Blair nicht unumstritten: Sein Handicap ist, dass er 2003 vehement für den Irakkrieg eingetreten ist und die Lüge von Saddam Husseins Massenvernichtungswaffen als Wahrheit verbreitet hat. Die Ernennung des Briten Blair für diesen Posten hätte ausserdem einen kolonialistischen Beigeschmack, da Palästina einst britisches Mandatsgebiet war, was nicht nur palästinensische Kritiker monieren.Was braucht es, damit aus dem Waffenstillstand im Gazastreifen ein Friede im Nahen Osten wird? Kann man mit einer Terrororganisation wie der Hamas überhaupt verhandeln? Und könnte das Karfreitagsabkommen von Nordirland als Blaupause für den Friedensprozess dienen? Darüber unterhält sich Christof Münger, Leiter des Ressorts International, mit Tina Kempin Reuter, Professorin für Politikwissenschaft in Birmingham, Alabama, in einer neuen Folge des USA-Podcasts «Alles klar, Amerika?».Produzent: Noah Fend Mehr USA-Berichterstattung finden Sie auf unserer Webseite und in den Apps.

Waffenruhe. Alle überlebenden Hamas-Geiseln sind frei. Nach der Unterzeichnung des US-Friedensplans gibt es Hoffnung auf einen dauerhaften Frieden zwischen Israel und der Terrororganisation Hamas. Die Gespräche darüber laufen, auch darüber, wie der Gaza-Streifen dann wieder aufgebaut werden kann. Eine Recherche von BR Data zeigt nun allerdings das Ausmaß der Zerstörung. Mit Christian Limpert, dem Leiter des ARD-Studios in Tel Aviv, blicken wir in dieser 11KM-Folge auf diese Daten und die Lage vor Ort.

In this episode of STRAT, retired Marine Intelligence Officer LtCol. Hal Kempfer examines one of the most pivotal developments in recent Middle East history—the ceasefire in Gaza and the release of Israel's remaining live hostages. Kempfer analyzes how high-stakes diplomacy, coercive pressure, and regional alliances led to this breakthrough, and what challenges lie ahead in Phase 2 of the peace process. From Hamas's disarmament and Gaza's reconstruction to the possible normalization of relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, Kempfer explores the complex military, political, and humanitarian implications shaping the region's future. He also discusses how Gaza's governance might evolve under a proposed Peace Board led by President Trump and Tony Blair. Tune in for expert insight into this critical moment and what it means for stability, peacekeeping, and long-term transformation across the Middle East.Takeaways:· The ceasefire and hostage release mark a major diplomatic breakthrough.· Intense pressure on both Israel and Hamas enabled the Phase 1 agreement.· President Trump and regional allies played key roles in securing terms.· Phase 2 involves disarming Hamas and ending its governance in Gaza.· A technocratic Palestinian body, possibly guided by Tony Blair, may oversee Gaza.· Reconstruction efforts will require international aid and regional investment.· Gaza faces deep social, infrastructural, and economic rebuilding challenges.· The deal could pave the way for Saudi-Israeli normalization.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #MiddleEast #GazaCeasefire #HostageRelease #Hamas #Israel #Trump #TonyBlair #PeaceProcess #GazaReconstruction #PalestinianAuthority #SaudiIsraelRelations #Diplomacy #IntelligenceAnalysis #Security #Geopolitics #Ceasefire

C dans l'air du 13 octobre 2025 - Paix à Gaza : le plan de Trump peut commencer…"Un triomphe incroyable pour Israël et pour le monde". Donald Trump n'avait pas assez de superlatifs, ce midi, pour se féliciter de l'accord de paix entre Israël et le Hamas, devant les députés israéliens de la Knesset. Ce matin, les 20 derniers otages retenus par le Hamas ont été remis à la Croix-Rouge, puis à l'armée israélienne, après 738 jours de captivité. Dans l'autre sens, plusieurs centaines de prisonniers palestiniens enfermés dans les geôles de l'État hébreu ont été libérés sur les 2 000 prévus. Pendant ce temps, une vingtaine de pays dont les États-Unis, la France, mais pas l'Iran, se réunissent en Égypte pour un sommet sur l'avenir de Gaza. "Nous allons avoir un rôle tout particulier pour être aux côtés de l'Autorité palestinienne et veiller à ce qu'elle ait sa part", a notamment réagit Emmanuel Macron à son arrivée. Le cessez-le-feu et le retour des otages acquis, le plan de paix pour Gaza prévoit la démilitarisation du Hamas et la mise en place d'une force internationale de maintien de paix, puis la reconstruction de la bande de Gaza. Dès l'annonce du cessez-le-feu vendredi, près de 200 000 Palestiniens ont entamé leur retour dans le nord de l'enclave dévasté par deux ans de guerre. Reste à éclaircir plusieurs points de l'accord sur la future gouvernance du territoire palestinien : si le Hamas a exclu d'y participer, il refuse aussi sa démilitarisation.C'est dans un Gaza en ruine que des centaines de milliers de Palestiniens ont entamé leur retour ce week-end. Donald Trump et Benjamin Netanyahou, les architectes de l'accord de paix avec le Hamas, n'ont pas oublié leur projet de riviera de luxe évoqué il y a quelques mois. Interrogé à ce sujet, le président américain a répondu : "Il faut s'occuper des gens en premier, mais cela va commencer très rapidement." Parmi les futures personnalités qui devraient chapeauter la reconstruction de Gaza, l'ancien Premier ministre britannique Tony Blair, l'émissaire américain pour le Moyen-Orient Steve Witkoff ou encore le gendre de Donald Trump, Jared Kushner. Celui qui est aussi son conseiller informel, a grandement œuvré au rapprochement entre Netanyahou et Washington. Artisan des accords d'Abraham en 2020, il est aussi connu pour être un redoutable homme d'affaires.Pendant que Donald Trump est accueilli en héros en Israël, la situation continue de se détériorer en Ukraine. Samedi, le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky s'est d'ailleurs entretenu au téléphone avec son homologue américain au lendemain d'une des plus grandes attaques russes sur les infrastructures énergétiques ukrainiennes. Un temps proche de Vladimir Poutine, Donald Trump est depuis revenu sur sa position : "Si cette guerre ne se termine pas, je vais leur [les Ukrainiens] envoyer des Tomahawks", a-t-il menacé dimanche dans l'avion qui l'emmenait en Israël. De son côté, Zelensky souhaite proposer aux Etats-Unis un accord d'achat de systèmes de défense aérienne et de lance-roquettes.Comment l'accord de paix entre Israël et le Hamas se met-il en place depuis ce week-end ? Quel rôle Jared Kushner a-t-il joué dans le rapprochement entre Israël et les États-Unis ? Et cet accord de paix peut-il avoir une influence sur la guerre en Ukraine ?LES EXPERTS :- Frédéric Encel - Géopolitologue, spécialiste du Moyen-Orient, Professeur à Sciences po- Gallagher Fenwick - Grand reporter et spécialistes des questions internationales- Patricia Allemoniere - Grand reporter, ancienne correspondante permanente à Jérusalem- Nicole Bacharan - Historienne et politologue, spécialiste des Etats-Unis

For the past couple of months, the billionaire father-son duo of Larry and David Ellison have been making deals involving major media brands. Having acquired Paramount, the parent company of CBS News, they appointed Bari Weiss - an outspoken supporter of Israel - as the network's editor-in-chief. The moves by the Ellisons are not just about growing their media empire, but about shaping the narrative around Israel in the US, where public support continues to decline.

But for Donald Trump, it was an opportunity for self-congratulation - with both he and his allies emphasising how pivotal he was in making things happen. Tariq Nafi has been following the story. Chega: How Portugal's media gave populism a megaphone In Portugal, the far-right party Chega, once on the fringes, is leading the polls, and its leader, Andre Ventura, has become one of the country's most recognisable political figures. Ventura's rise has been spurred by his television background and carefully crafted media persona. The onetime football pundit has become a political showman. And he's been amplified by the country's mainstream media, who have been chasing ratings over accountability.  Ryan Kohls reports.

Newly released hacked emails reveal that Marco Rubio was chosen as Secretary of State under Trump due to influence and vetting from major donors and Israeli interests, specifically based on emails between Oracle CEO Larry Ellison and Israeli diplomat Ron Proser about Rubio's loyalty to Israel. Ellison has amassed significant control over American media (including TikTok and Paramount) and is shaping U.S. politics and foreign policy in partnership with figures like Tony Blair and Benjamin Netanyahu.  Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that Ellison's political and financial power has led to increased media consolidation, and that he supports a mass surveillance state and enables Israel and its allies to dictate U.S. actions, including policies on Gaza. The video concludes by asserting that the U.S. operates as an oligarchy run by Zionist interests, with American politicians and media as their puppets.

C dans l'air l'invité du 9 octobre 2025 avec Gilles Kepel, professeur émérite des universités, spécialiste du Moyen-Orient, auteur du "Bouleversement du monde" (éditions Pocket), et de "Antiterrorisme, la traque des jihadistes"(éditions Plon).Un accord a été trouvé entre le Hamas et Israël pour un plan de paix à Gaza. Désormais, les deux camps doivent s'entendre pour procéder à des échanges d'otages israéliens et de prisonniers palestiniens, avant un retrait progressif des troupes israéliennes et un désarmement du Hamas. Mais le chemin est encore long.Pour Donald Trump, ce sont "les premières étapes vers une paix solide, durable et éternelle". Le président américain a annoncé, dans la nuit du mercredi 8 au jeudi 9 octobre, qu'Israël et le Hamas avaient "signé la première phase" de son plan de paix pour la bande de Gaza, presque intégralement détruite après deux ans d'offensive israélienne. L'accord a été conclu dans le cadre de pourparlers indirects en Egypte. L'annonce a suscité une vague d'espoir au Moyen-Orient et dans le monde, Emmanuel Macron disant son "espoir immense pour les otages et leurs familles, pour les Palestiniens de Gaza, pour la région", dans un message publié sur X dans lequel il "salue" les efforts diplomatiques et "appelle les parties à en respecter strictement les termes". Gilles Kepel, professeur émérite des universités et spécialiste du Moyen-Orient, est notre invité. Il nous expliquera ce que contient ce plan, et nous dira, selon lui quelles sont ses forces et ses éventuelles faiblesses. Il nous éclairera aussi sur les prochaines étapes, avant d'atteindre la "paix durable" promise par le président américain. Leur reste encore floue. Le plan prévoit notamment la mise en place d'une "gouvernance temporaire de transition avec un comité palestinien technocratique et apolitique", sous la supervision d'un "conseil de la paix" dirigé par Donald Trump et incluant l'ex-Premier ministre britannique Tony Blair.

Thought viceroys and colonial administrators were a thing of the past? Tony Blair is being lined up to run the “Board of Peace” for a reconstruction authority for post-conflict Gaza and observers are agog. Historian and Bunker regular Alex von Tunzelmann takes us on a tour of the inglorious history of viceregal rule. Where did the role come from? Was it ever a particularly efficient way to run a country you probably shouldn't have been in anyway? And what cautionary tales should Blair learn from cases as diverse as the Raj, post-Saddam Iraq and Paddy Ashdown's control of Bosnia?  • Buy Indian Summer: The Secret History of the End of an Empire by Alex von Tunzelmann through our affiliate bookshop and you'll help fund The Bunker by earning us a small commission for every sale. Bookshop.org's fees help support independent bookshops too. • Support us on Patreon for early episodes and more. • Head to nakedwines.co.uk/thebunker to get 6 top-rated wines from our sponsor Naked Wines for £39.99, delivery included. • We are sponsored by Indeed.

In today's installment of Stand Up, Tim and Mary take on a batch of headlines that point to the continuing global delusion of peace and unity. Every Christian should understand by now that what is going on in the Middle East was never about establishing a state, but destroying one. It is so obvious to so many and yet here we are, with the US and many other nations just deluding themselves around the clock. We discuss Tony Blair's role in Gaza, a clear delusion. We talk about the disintegration of Portland and why it will never likely improve, but spread; we look at Communion America, a great delusion for the church; and Trump's deal with Pfizer, delusion that began in 2020 and never really goes away. Why would he make a deal with such a corrupt and wicked corporation? And still another abortion pill goes to market. It just gets more wicked out there, but hallelujah, we have God's Word: blessed is that one who doesn't walk, stand, or sit with the wicked (Psalm 1)  Homeward, saints!

On Monday, President Trump outlined his proposal for a peace deal in Gaza, a moment he described as ‘potentially one of the great days ever in civilisation'. In a press conference announcing the plan, the President name-dropped Sir Tony Blair and said the former UK Prime Minister would have a key role in the governance of post-war Gaza. Blair has been part of high-level talks with the US and other parties about ending the conflict. To many in the Middle East he remains a divisive figure who is remembered primarily for his role in the US-led invasion of Iraq. So how did Blair become a central figure in this latest plan to end the war in Gaza, and what does this tell us about diplomacy under Trump 2.0? Asma Khalid speaks to the BBC's diplomatic correspondent James Landale, who charts the story of Blair's involvement in the Middle East and his warm relationship with President Trump.Producers: Sam Chantarasak, Viv Jones Senior news editor: China Collins Mix: Travis EvansWith Asma Khalid in DC, Tristan Redman in London, and the backing of the BBC's international newsroom, The Global Story brings clarity to politics, business and foreign policy in a time of connection and disruption.

Trump and Netanyahu unveil a 20-point peace plan aimed at ending the Israel-Hamas war and rebuilding Gaza under a new transitional governance system. The proposal includes hostage exchanges, Gaza redevelopment, Hamas disarmament, and international oversight led by Trump and Tony Blair. The panel debates whether Hamas will comply, the risks of releasing prisoners, and if this sets the stage for future conflict with Iran.

Tommy & Ben react to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump's bizarre and alarming gathering of top military officials, including Trump's fascistic rhetoric about the "enemy within", wildly inappropriate partisan rants, and Hegseth's anti-DEI, pro-war-crimes lecture that could have been an email. They also talk about Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's announcement of a 20-point plan to end the war between Israel and Hamas, Netanyahu's apology to Qatar for striking Hamas leaders in Doha and why the hell Tony Blair is involved. Also discussed: Marco Rubio's secret plan for regime change in Venezuela, the revocation of the Colombian president's visa by the U.S., how Trump's trade war with China could sell out Taiwan and hurt American farmers, "Gen Z" protests in Madagascar, and former French president Nicolas Sarkozy's latest prison sentence. Finally, they explain why the comedy world is headed to Saudi Arabia and how Trump bonded with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan over rigged elections. Then, Ben speaks to foreign policy analyst, author, and journalist Rula Jebreal about the sidelining of Palestinians in Trump's peace plan, the threat of West Bank annexation, and what the international community can do for Palestine.

Gregory Copley reports that Chinese leader Xi Jinping's power has diminished, noting he is expected to step down as General Secretary at the upcoming fourth plenum, retaining only the powerless PRC presidency. Copley suggests the new leadership may reduce global aggression because the country lacks money, resources, and solidarity for a global campaign, and faces massive domestic food and water crises. He also addresses Tony Blair's "surreal politic" role in the Gaza plan and the fragility of the clerical leadership in Iran. 1917 PRINCETON IN PEKING

What is the path forward for Gaza and the West Bank? Beth and Sarah discuss Trump's fourth meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister as European countries recognize Palestinian statehood. They examine Tony Blair's transition proposal, Trump's 21-point plan, and whether the Trump administration can be a reliable partner in peace. What happens to a government shutdown when "we don't have local politics anymore"? As the government funding deadline hits tomorrow, Sarah and Beth explore why the old political playbooks may not work in today's splintered media environment. Sarah and Beth evaluate Democratic negotiating priorities - from healthcare tax credits to PBS funding - and debate whether representatives should act as delegates or trustees when Constitutional order itself is at stake. Is the Comey indictment as flimsy as it looks? Beth breaks down the two-page indictment charging the former FBI Director with lying to Congress about a 2016 leak. With a grand jury already refusing one charge and a statute of limitations that barely applies, they discuss what it means when the Justice Department has fully become "the revenge department for the president" rather than serving the American people. Plus: Sarah shares her Common Ground Pilgrimage to England and achieves her life dream of comforting a crying baby on a transatlantic flight. Ready to go deeper?

Tuesday, September 30th, 2025 - Trump-Bibi Gaza plan; YouTube pays Trump $22M; EA's Kushner-Saudi buyout; Bad Bunny Super Bowl; Gov't shutdown looms Today's Headlines: Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump stood at the White House to unveil a 20-point Gaza peace plan that starts with a 72-hour ceasefire and hostage release, phases out Israeli troops, and sets up a Trump-chaired “Board of Peace” with Tony Blair (yep, that Tony Blair). Hamas hasn't signed on yet. Meanwhile, details emerged about the Michigan church shooter—Trump called it a “targeted attack on Christians,” but the guy was actually a hardcore Trump fan with a Trump flag and merch. Oregon and Portland are suing to block Trump's National Guard deployment, YouTube is paying him $22M to settle his suspension lawsuit (funds earmarked for a White House ballroom, naturally), and EA might get scooped up by Jared Kushner, Saudi Arabia, and private equity for $50B. Missouri just locked in a gerrymandered map for Trump's benefit, Moldova's pro-EU party scored a decisive win despite Russian meddling, and Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl halftime show—get ready for Fox & Friends meltdowns.

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover the indictment of James Comey, a national DOJ investigation into George Soros, Pete Hegseth's extraordinary call for all generals to return to Virginia, Trump's warning to Democrats about pushing conservatives too far, and headline updates on tariffs, green energy, AI, and global flashpoints. Quick hits to set your radar for the weekend.   James Comey Indicted: The former FBI director faces charges of false statements and obstruction of justice. Trump pushed prosecutors to act before the statute of limitations expired, insisting Comey's role in Crossfire Hurricane was “a coup” against the elected government. Bryan argued, “James Comey deserves the death penalty… it would be a righteous and correct judgment.”   DOJ Targets Soros's Open Society Foundations: At least seven U.S. attorneys will probe Soros funding networks for alleged terrorism support, arson, fraud, and racketeering. Bryan compares the crackdown to federal efforts in the 1960s and 70s against the Weather Underground.   Pentagon Showdown Next Week: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth summoned every U.S. general and admiral worldwide to a meeting in Virginia as Trump demands a 20 percent cut in four-star officers. Politico reports many senior leaders are unhappy with the rebrand to the Department of War.   Trump Warns Democrats on Violence: After MSNBC and the John Brown Gun Club suggested ICE agents “deserved” recent attacks, Trump warned, “The Left better not get the Right energized because it won't be good for the Left.”   Turning Point Rejects Kimmel's ‘Apology': Spokesman Andrew Kolve said, “What we need is, ‘I'm sorry, I lied, I was wrong, and I won't do it again.' Otherwise… his political agenda is more important than the life of my friend who was just taken from us.”   Dallas Shooter Update: The killer searched “Charlie Kirk shot video” while planning his ICE attack, suggesting a copycat killing. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed he used Democrat-developed tracking apps to stalk ICE agents.   NYC Worker Punished for Helping ICE: A city staffer was retrained after reporting two criminal illegals to ICE, violating sanctuary laws that protect even convicted felons from deportation. Bryan called it “diabolical.” Tariff Cheaters and Whirlpool's Complaint: Appliance makers are under DOJ investigation for undervaluing imports to dodge tariffs, costing U.S. producers.   Green Energy Failures: California's $2.2 billion Ivanpah solar farm is shutting down after killing 6,000 birds annually. Bryan added, “That's wonderful news for the birds.”   AI Revolution Goes Federal: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot is now the U.S. government's official AI system, including for secret agencies, despite studies showing AI is unreliable and prone to lying.   Global Watch for the Weekend: Farmers furious at Argentina selling soybeans to China, European leaders ready to shoot down Russian aircraft, Britain exploring digital IDs, Tony Blair offering to run Gaza, and new medical studies on obesity, eye health, and aging.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: James Comey indictment Crossfire Hurricane, Trump DOJ Lindsey Halligan Erik Seibert, Comey Steele Dossier coup, DOJ Soros Open Society terrorism probe, Pete Hegseth Pentagon generals meeting, Trump warning Democrats violence ICE, John Brown Gun Club Hey Fascist Catch, Turning Point rejects Jimmy Kimmel apology, Dallas ICE shooter Charlie Kirk copycat, Kash Patel ICE tracking apps, NYC sanctuary laws ICE prisons, Whirlpool tariff cheating DOJ, Ivanpah solar farm shutdown bird deaths, Elon Musk Grok chatbot federal contract, Sam Altman AI smarter than humans, Argentina soybeans China, Europe NATO Russian jets, UK digital ID program, Tony Blair Gaza Strip, Greta Thunberg Gaza flotilla hacked ABBA
