The lecture will examine the pros and cons of democracy in today's world, focusing on the importance of domestic and international rule of law to maintain democratic ideals, which are fragile in times of conflict. There will be examples given, highlighting the current War in Ukraine and the political situation in the United States, the influence of other players and the legacy of the Cold War.Lastly, there will be an observation on the ways that the principal judicial organs operate, their challenges, and a prediction of their future. Sir Howard Morrison will provide some suggestions as to how things might be contained by means of persuasive soft power.This lecture was recorded by Howard Morrison on the 9th of June 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Sir Howard Morrison KC was called to the Bar by Grays Inn in 1977.

Tickets for the Live Tour Here! What do you get when a carnivorous plant develops a taste for rodents and a whole country uploads itself to the cloud? Just another day inside The Box of Oddities. In this episode, Kat and Jethro peer into the leafy maw of Nepenthes rajah—the world's largest meat-eating plant, known to snack on mice, lizards, and anything foolish enough to slip into its botanical death trap. It's basically a salad that eats you. Then, we voyage to the disappearing island nation of Tuvalu, where rising sea levels have inspired an unprecedented plan: become the world's first digital nation. Yep, they're scanning their culture into cyberspace like a high-stakes sci-fi Dropbox folder. It's a tale of natural horror and geopolitical innovation—served up with the usual twisted humor and curiosity.

Ralph and the crew spend the whole hour with Omer Bartov, professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University, who grew up in a Zionist home, lived the first half of his life in Israel, served in the I.D.F. as a soldier and officer and is the author a New York Times op-ed entitled “I'm a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.” Plus, Ralph pays tribute to legendary Washington Post reporter, Morton Mintz.Omer Bartov is a professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University. He has written widely on modern Germany, France, the Holocaust, and representations of war and genocide. He is the author of the Mirrors of Destruction: War, Genocide, and Modern Identity, and the forthcoming book, Israel: What Went Wrong?, and he's penned a New York Times op-ed entitled “I'm a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.”I published an op-ed in November 2023, and I said there were war crimes, clearly, crimes against humanity, and this will become genocide if it's not stopped. And the Biden administration at the time did nothing. President Biden could have stopped that within two weeks. The Israeli military machine cannot function for more than two or three weeks without constant supply of munitions, without constant supply of financial help, and most importantly, without a diplomatic Iron Dome, especially in the Security Council.Professor Omer BartovIf you say that you are shutting down speech because of anti-Semitism, who are the people who are pushing that? It must be all kinds of Jewish interests that are pushing that. And in that sense, this false campaign against anti-Semitism – some of whose leaders are people with pretty good anti-Semitic credentials themselves – is the best way to raise, to promote and incite anti-Semitism.Professor Omer BartovThere's no moral responsibility, there's no empathy being shown, and much of the population shares that view. To me, as someone who was raised in Israel, spent half of my life there, served four years in the army, to see my own society (including some of my friends) show this kind of moral callousness is frankly quite heartbreaking. And I have to say, it's the result of a long process. It's not only a response to October 7th, it's the result of six decades of occupation, of thinking of Palestinians as not really people who have any right to have rights or any right to health, to security. And in that sense, that long-term occupation has corrupted much of Israeli society. And maybe the most surprising thing is that there's still extraordinary people there who are fighting against that, but their numbers are diminishing, not growing.Professor Omer BartovMorton Mintz was hands-down the greatest consumer reporter of his generation. He opened up one field after another because he had a special sense of newsworthiness that other reporters and editors didn't have. He opened up the coverage of the pharmaceutical industry. He opened up the coverage of the auto industry. And he did so with such formidable documentation and research that other reporters started following the same subject area. So he was a pioneer.Ralph NaderNews 8/1/25* Crusading environmental lawyer Steven Donziger has published a new report in the left-wing outlet Orinoco Tribune on the undercount of the dead in Gaza. In this piece, Donziger uses the statistical model laid out by the prestigious medical journal The Lancet in their 2024 study on the Israeli military campaign, which found the direct and indirect death toll could be as high as 186,000. The Lancet study found that as many as 732 Gazans died every day from these direct and indirect causes. Multiplied by the 594 days the conflict has dragged on, this would equate to a death toll of 434,800, or 20.7% of the enclave's population. As Donziger notes, “If the same level of killing and indirect death that took place in Gaza…happened in the United States proportional to population, roughly 70 million Americans would have been killed.”* In more Gaza news, the Guardian reports that, “On Saturday night, the…IDF…intercepted and boarded the Handala, an aid ship that attempted to reach Gaza as part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition…According to the coalition, IDF soldiers beat and choked…labor activist Chris Smalls.” The severity of the attack on Christian Smalls – founder of the independent Amazon Labor Union (ALU) – caused international outcry. From the Guardian report, “Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs, leaving visible signs of violence on his neck and back.” The incident also drew criticism for another reason: Smalls was the only Black person on board the Handala. While 21 members of the Flotilla group were detained, in their words ”abducted,” “This level of force was not used.” It is unclear why this level of force was used against Smalls and Smalls alone, other than the color of his skin.* Yet more tragic news from Gaza concerns the death of Odeh Hadalin, the 31-year-old Palestinian activist and English teacher featured in the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land. Al Jazeera reports that footage taken by Israeli human rights group B'Tselem “appears to show [Israeli settler Yinon] Levi opening fire on Hadalin during a confrontation in the village [of Umm al-Kheir, south of Hebron].” Levi, already sanctioned by the European Union and the United States over past attacks on Palestinians, reportedly told witnesses he was “glad about it.” Despite all of this, an Israeli court has released Levi on house arrest. Basel Adra, who co-directed No Other Land with Yuval Abraham, wrote “This is how Israel erases us — one life at a time.”* One positive development is in progress however. According to the Embassy of France in the United States, "France is prepared to fully recognize the State of Palestine, and will do so in September." French recognition of the Palestinian state, will If it ultimately comes to pass, have major ramifications on the world stage. While 147 member states of the United Nations have recognized Palestine, only 10 out of 27 EU countries have done so, mostly former Eastern Bloc states like Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and Romania, along with the former country of Czechoslovakia. The modern country of Slovakia has reaffirmed their recognition; Czechia has not. In 2024, several more European nations extended recognition, including Norway, Slovenia, Ireland and Spain. France however would tip the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council to a 3-2 majority in recognition of Palestine, along with Russia and China. Moreover, AP reports the United Kingdom is now saying they will “recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza,” among other conditions. If this happens, The permanent members of the Security Council would be split 4-1, with the United States as the lone holdout. This would be nothing short of an international relations sea change on the question of Palestine.* In some more positive foreign policy news, Jeremy Corbyn's new party in the U.K. is getting started with a bang. According to the man himself, over 600,000 people have signed up to register with the new party, which describes itself as “a new kind of political party. One that is rooted in our communities, trade unions and social movements. One that builds power in all regions and nations. One that belongs to you.” Polls show this new party in the lead among Britons aged 18-24 and Corbyn leading Labour Party leader Keir Starmer by “Almost Every Metric,” among members of the rightwing populist Reform Party. That said, the Reform Party is still projected to win an overwhelming victory compared to all other parties in the next elections, though those are not expected to be held until 2029.* In Congress, Bernie Sanders forced a vote Wednesday on two new Senate resolutions to block arms transfers to Israel. Resolution 34 would “prohibit the U.S.-taxpayer financed $675.7 million sale of 201 MK 83 1,000-pound bombs; 4,799 BLU-110A/B General Purpose 1,000-pound bombs; 1,500 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kits for MK 83 bombs; 3,500 JDAM guidance kits for MK 83 bombs; and related logistics and technical support services,” while Resolution 41 would “prohibit the sale of tens of thousands of fully automatic assault rifles.” These resolutions got the support of 27 Senators, a new record and a majority of the Democratic Senate Caucus, but still far, far short of even a simple Senate majority. Perhaps a more portentous development is that Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene this week became the first Republican in Congress to call the crisis in Gaza a “genocide,” according to the Hill. It remains to be seen whether this will help break the dam on that side of the aisle.* In New York City, new polling shows stunning results for Zohran Mamdani. The new poll conducted by Zenith Research and Public Progress Solutions shows Zohran dominating the 5-way race, earning 50% and beating out the other four candidates combined. Mamdani does even better in head-to-head matches against disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo and corruption-dogged incumbent Mayor Eric Adams. The crosstabs are even more astonishing. Despite the breathless and baseless accusations of antisemitism, Zohran is winning 67% of Jews under age 45 and a whopping 85% of men ages 18-34. This second number is key as Democrats struggle to attract young men. One warning sign: a recent Pew poll shows Republicans with an 18-point lead among men in the Gen Z cohort.* In an ominous challenge to the separation of church and state, the Hill reports President Donald Trump released a memo Monday allowing federal employees to “attempt to persuade co-workers about why their religious beliefs are ‘correct.'” This memo cites “crosses, crucifixes and mezuzah,” as displays of religious indicia that should not result in disciplinary action. This bizarre and constitutionally dubious policy seems likely to lead to workplace discord.* In more Trump news, CBS reports Trump has ousted “Two top Justice Department antitrust officials.” According to sources, two deputies to Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater, who leads DOJ antitrust efforts, were “placed on administrative leave last week and fired on Monday for insubordination.” These two figures are Roger Alford, principal deputy assistant attorney general, and Bill Rinner, deputy assistant attorney general and head of merger enforcement. It is not clear why exactly Alford and Rinner were pushed out, but there has apparently been substantial strife within the administration over the antitrust cases against T-Mobile and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. AAG Slater is also overseeing antitrust lawsuits against Capital One, Apple, Google, and other major companies.* Finally, Wired reports the small Pacific island nation of Tuvalu is planning the first migration of an entire country. Tuvalu, which could be completely submerged by rising sea levels within the next 25 years, is seeking to resettle 280 Tuvaluans in Australia each year. This climate-driven mass migration is a stark sign of things to come if the international community continues to dither or deny the reality of the oncoming climate catastrophe.

This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, NHK Japan, France 24, and Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr250725.mp3 (29:00) From GERMANY- Public broadcasting in Europe may face the loss of government funding like what has happened in the US. An interview with the Director General of Reporters Without Borders Thibaut Bruttin about the importance of public broadcasting and a European bill, the European Media Freedom Act, which recognizes citizens rights to diverse sources of reliable information. The International Court of Justice has ruled that climate change is an existential threat and failing to protect the environment could be a violation of international law. The case centered around the sea level changes in Vanuatu, with Lucia Shulten reporting. From JAPAN- The South Pacific Island of Tuvalu is expected to be under water in coming decades and Australia has offered some climate visas for residents. The Trump administration has told UNESCO that they are withdrawing from the agency. 28 countries, including Japan and the European Union have called for an immediate ceasefire and distribution of aid in Palestine. From FRANCE- Mexico City is seeing large protests against gentrification caused by immigrants with more money moving into rental units. More than 100 aid organizations are warning about the man-made mass starvation being created in Palestine- an interview with Israeli reporter Noga Tarnopolsky. From CUBA- Under cuts from the Trump administration, the EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency, will shut down its scientific research branch. Police in the UK have now arrested more than 100 citizens for holding signs saying that they support the group Palestine Action, a Pro-Palestinian group that disrupts the arms industry in the UK.

U sklopu ključnog sporazuma s Australijom, 280 stanovnika Tuvalua će svake godine primiti stalnu boravišnu vizu. Neki ljudi smatraju ovu ponudu gorko slatkom budući da njihova otočna zemlja nestaje uslijed povećanja razine mora. No, postoje nagađanja da bi čitavo stanovništvo pacifičkog otoka Tuvalu u idućih četrdeset godina moglo živjeti u Australiji ako potražnja za novom viznom lutrijom ostane velika.
100 ong accusano Israele di voler creare una carestia nella Striscia. In Ucraina la prima grande protesta dei cittadini contro Zelensky sul tema corruzione, in Parlamento (quello italiano) avanza il ddl sul reato di femminicidio e salta dopo l'estate il testo sul fine vita. Intanto l'isola di Tuvalu sprofonda nell'Oceano pacifico a causa dell'innalzamento delle acque.

C'est peut-être une première mondiale : un accord de migration pour cause climatique. Plus de 80 % des habitants de Tuvalu, un petit archipel du Pacifique en sursis, ont exprimé leur volonté d'obtenir un visa pour l'Australie. Ce chiffre impressionnant a été révélé le 23 juillet par l'Agence France-Presse. En 2024, Canberra a lancé un dispositif inédit permettant aux citoyens de Tuvalu de s'installer légalement sur son sol, face à la menace croissante de la montée des eaux. Un geste que l'Australie qualifie de « premier accord de ce type au monde ».Dans les faits, sur les quelque 10 600 habitants que compte l'archipel, 8 750 se sont inscrits — soit 82 % de la population. Mais seuls 280 visas seront délivrés cette année. Un chiffre bien en deçà des attentes, comme l'a reconnu le Haut-Commissariat australien. La situation est critique. En 2024, un phénomène océanographique accentué par de violentes intempéries a submergé de vastes zones de l'archipel. Vagues de plus de trois mètres, routes endommagées, cultures anéanties par l'eau salée... La population est en première ligne. Et le pire pourrait venir : si la température mondiale dépasse les 1,5 °C, 95 % de Tuvalu serait régulièrement inondé avant la fin du siècle, rendant le pays invivable.En parallèle de l'exode, les autorités locales tentent l'impossible : gagner 7,5 hectares sur la mer en draguant le lagon, ériger des digues, et — avec l'aide de l'ONU — surélever la capitale. Mais tout cela dépendra des financements. Tuvalu est peut-être le premier, mais certainement pas le dernier. Le changement climatique redéfinit déjà les frontières… et les droits d'asile.

280 citoyens de Tuvalu se verront accorder chaque année la résidence permanente en Australie… résultat d'un accord historique entre les deux pays. Mais pour certains, cette offre a un goût amer… l'offre tient du fait que l'ile de Tuvalu disparait progressivement sous les eaux. Certains spéculent même disant que toute la population de cette île du Pacifique pourrait vivre en Australie d'ici quarante ans, si la demande pour cette nouvelle loterie de visas se maintient.

In this ClimateGenn episode we are looking at 3 interviews recorded at the Arctic Repair Conference in Cambridge hosted by the Centre for Climate Repair at the University of Cambridge. In the 1st interview with Centre for Climate Repair director, Dr Shaun Fitzgerald, we touch on some of the theme emerging from the conference but also from the news cycle during London Climate Week that was running concurrently.In the 2nd interview I speak with Anni Pokela from the Finnish organisation Operaatio Arktis – an emerging think tank looking to articulate informed discussions around extreme climate impacts, tipping points and geoengineering also called climate interventions. Operaatio Arktis have gained international recognition for their clear engagement on these complex and often taboo topics. The 3rd interview in this series is with Justus Lehtisaari also from Operaatio Arktis. Both these conversations are recorded during the evening drinks in Cambridge and attempt to explore how their work interacts with such a broad range of issues that we are collectively facing today.There are 5 more interviews from the Arctic Repair conference that include Indigenous Climate representative from Tuvalu, Faatupu Simeti discussing the existential threat of sea-level rise and inundation, as well as a conversation with Julius Mihkkal Eriksen Lindi, PROJECT COORDINATOR at the Arctic and Environmental Unit from the Saami Council who is tasked with trying to see if climate interventions can help preserve their way of life or be rejected as dangerous to life.There are also a second set of discussions with Kerry Nickols from Ocean Visions, Jason Box from the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, and Rafe Pomerance, a legendary climate policy expert based in Washington. I have a backlog of interviews waiting to be published and recorded. I will uploaded a preview of my interview this week with David Spratt from Australia, an in-depth discussion of policy and risk response. David is always very well informed and has much to say. Thank you for listening.
Tuvalu, a small Pacific nation endangered by rising sea levels, has witnessed thousands apply for Australia's new climate visa, part of a groundbreaking agreement. In this podcast, SBS Hindi speaks with registered migration agent Navneet Singh to discuss Australia's first 'climate visa' and its implications. We will also discuss whether the new visa pathways could be accessible to other countries, including India.

Περισσότερο από το ένα τρίτο των κατοίκων του μικροσκοπικού νησιού Τουβαλού στον Ειρηνικό, το οποίο, σύμφωνα με τις προβλέψεις των επιστημόνων, θα βυθιστεί από την άνοδο της στάθμης των θαλασσών, υπέβαλαν αίτηση για μια βίζα-σταθμό για το κλίμα, προκειμένου να μεταναστεύσουν στην Αυστραλία. Η βίζα είναι το επακόλουθο της συνθήκης μεταξύ των δύο χωρών που επιδιώκει να στηρίξει το νησιωτικό έθνος στην αντιμετώπιση της κλιματικής αλλαγής.

Ponad jedna trzecia mieszkańców małego państwa Tuvalu, które według przewidywań naukowców zostanie zalane przez podnoszący się poziom mórz, złożyła wniosek o wizy klimatyczne, aby wyemigrować do Australii. Tuvalu to państwo położone na Oceanie Spokojnym w zachodniej Polinezji i tworzy ono archipelag nazwany Wyspami Lagunowymi.

Dans le supplément de ce dimanche, en première partie, direction l'est de la RDC, en Ituri. Là où en 1998, a éclaté une seconde guerre du Congo qui s'est poursuivie jusqu'en 2003, entre Hémas et Lendus. Les rivalités ethniques et économiques ont dégénéré en nombre d'atrocités. Près de 30 ans plus tard, les mêmes seniors de guerre congolais réapparaissent, Thomas Lubanga en tête condamné par la CPI. Et la même armée ougandaise a franchi la frontière. La violence, depuis le début de l'année, frappe les civils de toutes les communautés... En seconde partie, direction Tuvalu, dans l'océan Pacifique. La conférence des Nations unies sur les océans s'est refermée, il y a quelques jours à Nice, sur la côte méditerranéenne française. Les 7/10e de notre planète sont recouverts par mers et océans et l'eau monte à cause de la fonte des pôles due au changement climatique à tel point que des pays et leurs cultures sont menacés de disparition. En Ituri, les fantômes du passé resurgissent Grand reportage nous emmène aujourd'hui en Ituri dans l'est de la République démocratique du Congo. C'est dans cette province que les rivalités économiques et foncières entre l'ethnie des Hémas et celle des Lendus ont explosé à la fin des années 90, et ont fait basculer cette région, riche en or, dans la seconde guerre du Congo (1998-2003). Les atrocités commises par les milices des 2 communautés ont été d'une extrême violence et continuent encore aujourd'hui de marquer les esprits. Près de 30 ans plus tard, les mêmes seigneurs de guerre congolais réapparaissent… En tête ? Thomas Lubanga qui avait été condamné à 14 ans de prison par la Cour pénale internationale, notamment pour enrôlement d'enfants. La même armée étrangère, l'armée ougandaise, s'est déployée et a largement étendu sa présence en Ituri, ces derniers mois. Depuis le début de l'année 2025, une nouvelle flambée de violence secoue la province et touche les civils de toutes les communautés. Un Grand Reportage de Coralie Pierret qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Disparition des Tuvalu avant 2100: le compte à rebours a commencé C'est une première dans l'Histoire moderne, un pays va disparaître à cause du changement climatique. L'archipel des Tuvalu, isolé au milieu de l'océan Pacifique, se bat face à des problématiques sans précédent : peut-on retarder l'inévitable montée des océans ? Comment conserver sa souveraineté et son identité sans territoire ? Si le gouvernement a déjà réussi à signer un traité avec l'Australie pour garantir l'asile climatique à l'ensemble de sa population, certains espèrent finir leurs jours sur la terre de leurs ancêtres. Un Grand reportage d'Emma Garboud-Lorenzoni qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.
