Authorities are still tight lipped on the nature of a threat that prompted the Prime Minister's evacuation from his Canberra home last night.Police searched The Lodge but didn't find anything suspicious.A Labor frontbencher says it's an extraordinary incident and it's difficult to recall a similar situation.It's also sparked calls to lower the temperature of debate in Australia, given other politicians have also been subject to threatening behaviour.Police have been interviewing two men in their 20s who were arrested over the alleged kidnapping and murder of Sydney grandfather Chris Baghsarian.Authorities believe he was snatched from his home almost two weeks ago by mistake and the intended target was someone else with links to a crime family who lived nearby.Yesterday human remains were found on the city's north west fringe, that are thought to be his.And the UN General Assembly has passed a motion calling for peace in Ukraine, as the country commemorates the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion.The resolution backs Ukraine's international borders and voices concern over intensifying Russian attacks on civilians and critical energy infrastructure.Russia's showing no sign of ending its brutal invasion despite international sanctions and repeated peace talks, but experts say its manpower and economy are being strained.

Dr. Jean Krasno is in the faculty of the Department of Political Science at the City College of New York and is also a lecturer at Columbia University. The “United Nations: Policy and Practice” is her most recent book. Dr. Krasno was authorized by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan to organize his papers for publication. She is now leading a campaign to elect a woman UN Secretary-General. The UN was created in 1945 to eliminate the scourge of war, promote economic and social development, and enhance human rights worldwide. The UN has had nine secretaries-general to lead the organization. Emphasis is on selecting a woman when SG Guterres's term ends. The next UN SG must be an effective communicator with the 193-member states in the UN General Assembly and the various publics around the world. Most Americans are mostly unaware of how important UN services impact their lives every day.
This is AI x Multilateralism, a playlist of conversations at the Commons, our space at the UN Library & Archives Geneva for sharing knowledge on multilateralism. In this series, we're joined by experts who help us unpack the many ideas and issues at the nexus of AI and international cooperation. In this episode we ask: can AI help us better predict, respond to, and recover from crises? We're joined by Dr. Martin Waehlisch, Associate Professor of Transformative Technologies, Innovation and Global Affairs at the University of Birmingham. He's also part of the Research Team of the Crisis Computing Project, a global community of scholars and practitioners who are driven to put computation to better use. He shares: what drives his teaching today on transformative technologies, and why he prefers the term “computational global affairs” to “international affairs” in today's world what exactly crisis computing means, and the kinds of crises he hopes that AI can help us to address, from complex climate prediction to public participation in decision-making the potential of crisis computing at the local, regional and multilateral level, and his thoughts on how crisis computing can be addressed as part of the UN's Global Dialogue on AI and the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI, both established by the UN General Assembly in 2025, and what is still missing in the global debate when it comes to how we use AI individually and collectively.

The UN General Assembly has appointed 40 members to the Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence. The members' three-year term will run until February, 2029.
In the aftermath of the war on Gaza, a proposed “Board of Peace” emerged on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September 2025. The body was envisioned as a temporary entity with a two-year mandate to oversee Gaza's reconstruction and economic recovery. Louis Charbonneau, UN director at Human Rights Watch, discusses the proposed Board of Peace and examines the impact of the United States' withdrawal from 31 United Nations entities, most of which focus on humanitarian aid, human rights, and climate change.
In this episode I argues for reforming Ireland's Triple Lock military deployment system by updating... not scrapping... multilateral criteria to include UN General Assembly resolutions and regional organisations. Indeed the whole Triple Lock debate is meaningless without addressing recruitment crises and investment shortfalls of the past decade and a half. Ireland's defence capability crisis was government made... it will not be sorted by Triple Lock three-card-chicanery. You can read the core script from this podcast on my website.

On this episode of the SeventySix Capital Sports Leadership Show, Wayne Kimmel interviewed Jeff Mostyn, the Former Chairman of AFC Bournemouth. There have been few constants in AFC Bournemouth's incredible rise to the Premier League. Aside from the sight of the inspirational performances from the team, achieving the almost impossible by reaching the Premier League in 2015, it is an almost unrecognisable club from just ten years ago. But its fairy tale success wouldn't have been possible without the boardroom backing of former Chairman Jeff Mostyn following his purchase of the club in 2007. The club has now become one of the most progressive and admired clubs, both on and off the field within the English football pyramid. Mostyn now stands as an immensely well-respected figure not only in the English game but also on the Global stage due to his unparalleled knowledge of the Football Pyramid. He has held places on the board of the Football League and the Football Association Council and is just as influential in the local area, contributing as an ambassador to the club's Community Sports Trust where he remains a trustee. Mostyn is also part of a small group of Football Chairman to have held the position at the same club in the top four divisions, along with Swansea City's Huw Jenkins and Dave Whelan at Wigan Athletic. In 2011 he was elected by the 72 Football League Clubs to represent them on the FA Council working on several of the Football Association committees, including those for Disability, FA Youth and Compliance Monitoring, as well as chairing the prestigious FA Challenge Cup Committee. In 2012 Jeff was elected to the Board of Directors of the Football League. During the 2015/16 season Jeff was elected as an FA England Team Ambassador, supporting the FA and England teams overseas. Following the club's administration in 2009, Mostyn stepped down to become Vice-Chairman of the club, before once again taking up the position of Chairman at AFC Bournemouth in September 2013, with a historic promotion to the English Premier League following less than two years later. Away from football, he is a family man and has been married to his wife Rose for 44 years and has four children. Amongst Jeff's charitable work he supports Prostate Cancer UK and is a patron for Dorset Cancer Care Foundation, Ambassador of Julia's House Children's Hospice, Ambassador of Lewis-Manning Hospice Care. Jeff is a global ambassador for Football for Peace and had the honour of presenting to dignitaries at the UN General Assembly in New York in September 2019. Jeff was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Bournemouth University in Business Administration in November 2017, in recognition of his work at AFC Bournemouth and the Community. Jeff received a Fellowship of the FA Council in 2021. Finally in 2023 The Premier League acknowledged Jeff's contribution to the League and the wider Football Family with a personal award. The rise of AFC Bournemouth from the depths of despair in 2006 to the glorified heights of the English Premier League is one of sports greatest ever achievements. It was once described as a Hans Christian Anderson fairy story that somehow came to life. Jeff Stepped down as Chairman of the football club in December 2022, taking up a role as Ambassador for the clubs, Community Sports Trust. On the 30th October 2025, Jeff published his autobiography “The Chairman”Chapters00:00 Introduction to Jeff Mostyn and AFC Bournemouth01:35 Jeff's Journey to Bournemouth Ownership05:04 Emotional Rollercoaster of Football Ownership08:50 The Impact of Community and Relationships12:49 Writing 'The Chairman' and Contributions from Football Royalty17:57 The Journey to Premier League Promotion22:56 Building a Successful Team Culture28:05 The Future of AFC Bournemouth and Community Engagement29:20 World Cup Excitement and the Power of Football
We get into the media coverage of Venezuela, hot takes on Maduro's kidnapping, Denmark's getting nervous as Trump eyes Greenland, 19th century style US imperialism, and the breakdown of all the international norms we all love. This is a sample of a premium episode. Sign up to listen to the entire episode. patreon.com/wetwired No holds barred is the defining feature of politics of the 21st century. We're witnessing the abandonment of even the pretense of propriety. It used to be that politicians did the hard work of lying to the public for weeks or months before taking us into military conflicts. There were Congressional hearings and presentations in front of the UN General Assembly with stacks of spiral bound books. They used to drag out charts and boxes of evidence. Colin Powell did one. Around 50 years earlier, then Vice President Richard Nixon made the case to the public for removing Arbenz in Guatemala. It all amounted to what looked like serious evidence that important matters were being weighed with the seriousness they deserved. Of course, those were all also largely fictions. Iraq didn't have WMDs. There was no yellow cake uranium. Arbenz wasn't a communist puppet of the Soviets (FDR was his ideological hero). It's time we acknowledged that the rules have changed. It's not even the case that they've changed entirely for the worse. No one is interested in making us feel good about the US kidnapping the president of Venezuela. That could be a good thing. Or at least some good may come from it. The baldness of it is refreshing in a way. We've all grown so used to living in a muck of deceptions that it might be hard to recognize the obviousness of all the motives on display. It's past time we sharpened those senses.

This is AI x Multilateralism, a mini-series on The Next Page, where experts help us unpack the many ideas and issues at the nexus of AI and international cooperation. AI has the dual potential to transform our world for the better, while also deepening serious inequalities. In this episode we speak to Dr. Rachel Adams, Founder and CEO of the Global Center on AI Governance and author of The New Empire of AI: The Future of Global Inequality. She shares why Africa-led and Majority World-led research and policy are essential for equitable AI governance that's grounded in the realities of people everywhere. She reflects on: why the work of the Center's flagship Global Index on Responsible AI and its African Observatory on Responsible AI are bringing much-needed research and evidence to ensure AI governance is fair and inclusive. her thoughts on the UN General Assembly's 2025 resolutions to establish an International Scientific Panel on AI and a Global Dialogue on AI Governance, urging true inclusion of diverse voices, indigenous perspectives, and public input why we need to treat AI infrastructure as an AI Global Commons and, the power of local-language AI and public literacy in ensuring we harness the most transformative aspects of AI for our world.

After nearly two decades of negotiations, the world has finally agreed on a framework to protect the high seas - that vast expanse of ocean beyond any nation's control that covers nearly half our planet's surface. On January 17th, 2026, the BBNJ Agreement (Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction), commonly known as the High Seas Treaty, officially enters into force, becoming international law.Join us as we explore this historic moment with two experts at the heart of the effort. Jeremy Raguain, who works with the Alliance of Small Island States, shares insights on Africa's leadership in the negotiations and what meaningful capacity building looks like for developing nations. Rebecca Hubbard, Director of the High Seas Alliance, takes us through the coalition-building journey from 2002 to today, explaining the treaty's four pillars: marine protected areas, equitable benefit-sharing from marine genetic resources, environmental impact assessments, and capacity building.This isn't just another international agreement - it's the missing piece that could finally allow us to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030, ensure that benefits from ocean resources flow equitably to all nations, and shift away from "parachute science" toward true partnerships. From small island nations reclaiming their identity as "big ocean states" to the complex work of enforcing protections in the world's most remote waters, this episode explores what becomes possible when the world comes together to protect what belongs to us all.Whether you live on a coast or in a landlocked country, half the oxygen you breathe comes from the ocean. Its health is humanity's health. Discover why this treaty matters for everyone, and what you can do to support its implementation.Featured Guests:Jeremy Raguain, AOSIS Fellowship Director & Ocean Governance SpecialistRebecca Hubbard, Director of the High Seas AllianceEpisode Length: 35-40 minutes
My interview guest today, Axel Marschik, is a veteran Austrian diplomat who has thought extensively about how the General Assembly can play a more robust role in peace and security when the Security Council fails to do so. In a paper that was widely discussed around the UN, Ambassador Marschik proposed that the General Assembly craft pre-authorized sanctions that would be automatically triggered if the Security Council is "unable or unwilling to act to confront some of the most serious violations of international law, including aggression and mass atrocity crimes." Under his proposal, the General Assembly would design a suite of sanctions in the abstract that would become very real—and automatically imposed on the offending party—through a General Assembly vote should the Security Council fail to take meaningful action. In our conversation, Ambassador Marschik fleshes out this idea, including what sorts of sanctions he has in mind and how to translate this concept into a General Assembly resolution creating such a mechanism. Ambassador Marschik currently serves as Austria's Ambassador to Germany and previously served as Austria's Permanent Representative to the UN from 2020 to 2025. This episode of Global Dispatches is produced in partnership with Lex International Fund, a philanthropic initiative dedicated to strengthening international law to solve global challenges. It's part of our ongoing series highlighting the real-world impact of treaties on state behavior, called "When Treaties Work."
The US government is politically isolated on the world stage. This can be seen in the UN General Assembly votes demanding an end to the USA's embargo of Cuba. Almost all of the world opposes the illegal economic blockade. Ben Norton explains how the CIA has waged a terrorist war on Cuba, Venezuela, and other parts of Latin America for decades.

In the aftermath of World War Two, the charter that founded the United Nations was signed, with the aim of preventing a third global conflict. The UN Security Council, one of six organs of the UN, has the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. It's made up of 15 member countries, there are 10 rotating non-permanent members who are elected for two-year terms by members of the UN General Assembly, the body that represents all UN members. And there are five permanent members – the US, the UK, France, China and Russia; it's these five that have veto power. Now 80 years on, there are growing calls for the council to reflect the world of today, not only in its representation, but in the way it functions. Criticisms of this international body include abuse of the veto power, lack of permanent representation for countries which have seen more than their fair share of conflict and an inability to reach common consensus, including on how to reform the organisation from within. So, on The Inquiry this week we're asking, ‘Is the UN Security Council still relevant?'Contributors: Devika Hovell, Prof International Law, London School of Economics, UK Richard Gowan, Director, UN and Multilateral Diplomacy, International Crisis Group, New York, USA Dr Samir Puri, Director, Global Governance and Security Centre, Chatham House, London, UK Mona Ali Khalil, former Senior Legal Officer, UN Office of the Legal Counsel, Co-Editor and Co-Author, ‘Empowering the UN Security Council: Reforms to Address Modern Threats', Vienna, Austria.

A man arrested for trying to assassinate Trump at his Florida golf course last year is convicted on all charges.

Today's Headlines: Jimmy Kimmel may be back on ABC's late-night lineup, but viewers in markets like Salt Lake City, Nashville, and New Orleans didn't get the show—thanks to Nexstar and Sinclair, which own nearly 70 ABC affiliates and refused to air it. Meanwhile, the UN General Assembly in Manhattan is serving drama: Trump told NATO to shoot down Russian aircraft, promised Ukraine could reclaim all its lost territory, and in a glitchy, rambling speech claimed he ended seven wars, trashed climate science, and basically asked for a Nobel Prize before bailing on diplomats. He also canceled a budget meeting with Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. The Secret Service, on the other hand, actually did something: it dismantled a huge illegal telecom network in NYC that had the capacity to send 30 million texts per minute, potentially crashing cell service citywide. Across the pond, the UK is telling people to ignore Trump's Tylenol-autism warnings, with the health secretary quipping he trusts doctors over Trump. Also in court news, Ryan Routh—the man who tried to assassinate Trump on his golf course last year—was found guilty on all charges and tried to stab himself in the neck after the verdict (unsuccessfully). Finally, a hacker broke into Nexar, a dashcam data company, exposing footage of everyday drivers—including one on the way to CIA HQ—and revealing its client list of government agencies buying that data.

President Donald Trump held back no punches in a fiery address to the United Nations’ (UN) General Assembly, calling the climate change agenda “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world” and rightfully rebuking the globalist organization for empowering illegal immigration into the U.S. Alex Newman and Andrew Muller break it all down in this episode of The Sentinel Report. Be warned, it is glorious. Additionally, pastors who opposed Charlie Kirk for standing for biblical truth in culture and the public square MUST recognize their error and change, argued Charlie’s friend and top pro-life leader Seth Gruber with the White Rose Resistance. If they won’t, they should cease to be a pastor and find another job, Gruber told Alex on The Sentinel Report. Finally, Robert Netzly, founder of Inspire Advisors, steps into the program to share how to biblically invest, and Shawn Stewart, a South African pushing for the independence of Cape Town, SA, updates Americans on their movement.
In this episode, we welcome Senator Ron Johnson, who shares insights from his recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. We discuss the dysfunction in Washington regarding government funding and the need for automatic rolling two-week continuing resolutions to reduce uncertainty. Senator Johnson also addresses the potential link between acetaminophen and autism, emphasizing the importance of informed consent in healthcare decisions. Furthermore, we explore the evolving landscape of public health transparency and the impact of recent events on public trust in government. Next, we engage with Congressman Barry Loudermilk, the chairman of the new January 6th subcommittee, as he sheds light on the ongoing investigations into the events surrounding January 6th. We discuss the previous committee's alleged biases, the quest for missing documents, and the role of paid informants during the Capitol riot. Loudermilk emphasizes the importance of uncovering the truth behind the security failures and the mysterious presence of informants in the crowd. Finally, we delve into the recent declarations from Canada, New Zealand, Portugal, and the UK recognizing Palestine as a state ahead of the UN General Assembly. Senior Research Fellow for National Security Policy at the Heritage Foundation, Steve Yates, joins us to unpack the implications of this recognition, the conditions set forth, and the broader geopolitical context. We explore the complexities surrounding Hamas, the potential consequences of these declarations, and the historical context of international relations in the region.

Today's Headlines: Jimmy Kimmel is back in his late-night slot after Disney admitted last week's pull was over “ill-timed” jokes—but let's be real, the Hulu/Disney+/ESPN subscriber drop probably didn't help. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is floating Tylenol in pregnancy as a cause of autism (despite zero credible evidence) and RFK's FDA is eyeing vitamin B9 treatments. Trump's border czar Tom Homan was reportedly caught on tape taking a $50K bribe from undercover FBI agents—an investigation quietly shelved once Trump returned to office. At the FBI, a new plan could brand transgender people as “nihilistic violent extremists,” a threat category so broad it risks sweeping up activists and allies. The Department of Education teamed with Turning Point and Moms for Liberty for a “patriotic civics” initiative ahead of America's 250th. Abroad, the UK, Canada, and Australia recognized Palestine as a state ahead of the UN General Assembly, while Hamas may propose a ceasefire-for-hostages deal to Trump. On the tech front, the DOJ is trying (again) to break up Google over ad dominance, Amazon faces a jury trial for making Prime too hard to cancel, and Nvidia just dropped $100 billion into OpenAI for mega data centers.

On today's episode, we dive into the resilience and courage of those standing up for truth and freedom. We open by reflecting on the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, highlighting how students and activists at Turning Point USA's first campus event since his death are rallying to continue his mission. From touching moments with Erika Kirk, who shares her message of forgiveness, to rare footage of Trump and Elon Musk coming together in Charlie's memory, we explore the unity and determination driving this movement. We also cover the latest security threats in New York, including the Secret Service's dismantling of a telecommunications network near the UN General Assembly, underscoring the ever-present challenges facing our society. Our featured guest, Lily Tang Williams, shares her remarkable journey from growing up under China's Cultural Revolution to becoming a U.S. citizen and political leader. Born in Chengdu to working-class parents, Lily endured extreme poverty, repression, and a lack of basic freedoms before escaping to the United States in 1988. Her story is one of resilience, courage, and the pursuit of liberty. As a former law professor, corporate executive, and entrepreneur, Lily has brought her experience and dedication to public service, running for Congress in New Hampshire's 2nd District in 2022 and 2024, and now announcing her 2026 campaign. She discusses why she is running again, her vision to “Keep the American Dream Alive,” and how her experiences in communist China inform her views on education, freedom, and governance in America today. We also examine international concerns about free speech and rising unrest, featuring clips from England where citizens are protesting against government overreach and immigration policies. The episode concludes with a powerful call to action on government transparency, focusing on the release of Epstein-related documents and the importance of holding institutions accountable. This episode is a must-watch for anyone committed to justice, liberty, and the defense of free speech at home and abroad.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, a federal appeals court ruled that President Donald Trump's use of emergency powers to impose tariffs was unlawful, which is absolutely ridiculous. This decision could disrupt trade agreements with countries like the EU, Japan, and South Korea which is not what Trump wants.
