E. Jean Carroll, the woman who won two civil suits against Donald Trump to the tune of $88+ million, is now the target of a Justice Department investigation for perjury. The DOJ probe is viewed by many as yet another example of the president seeking retribution from his perceived enemies and critics. But in his new book “Crisis of the Common Good,” Democratic Senator Chris Murphy argues that Trump is not the root cause of America's troubles, but the product of a much deeper crisis. He joins Christiane from Chicago.  Also on today's show: former Costa Rica VP Rebeca Grynspan, now Secretary-General of UNCTAD; historian Jill Lepore on her new book "We the People"    Learn more about your ad choices.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka katika Kaunti ya Kilifi Mombasa Kenya kumsikia Mbunge Martha Koki ambaye kandoni mwa mkutano wa CSW70 uliomalizika mwezi uliopita alizungumza na Idhaa hii kufafanua haki za wanawake za umiliki wa ardhi.Mwakilishi wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la afya ulimwenguni WHO nchini Jamhuri ya kidemokrasia Congo DRC Daktari Anne Ancia amewaambia waaandishi wa habari kuwa “Kuna zaidi ya washukiwa 500 na vifo 130 vinavyohisiwa kutokana na ugonjwa wa Ebola, na maabara zimethibitisha watu 30 wanaugua ugonjwa huo.” Mbali ya DRC, wagonjwa wawili wamegundulika huko Kampala Uganda na mwingine raia wa Marekani ambaye amepelekwa nchini Ujerumani kwa matibabu zaidi, wakati huu ambapo WHO bado inakumbwa na sintofahamu kuhusu chanzo cha mlipuko wa sasa wa Ebola DRC.Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Maendeleo na Biashara UNCTAD, limetoa ripoti ukionesha uchumi wa dunia unakabiliwa na mtihani mpya kutokana na mishtuko ya biashara, chakula na fedha inayosambaa kimataifa. Ripoti hiyo inaonya kuwa licha ya kuanza kwa mwaka kwa matumaini mazuri, hali ya kijiografia, vita na changamoto za masoko sasa zinatishia ukuaji wa uchumi duniani. UNCTAD inaeleza kuwa nchi zinazoendelea ndizo zilizo hatarini zaidi, zikikabiliwa na mtikisiko wa mitaji, mzigo wa madeni na hofu ya uhaba wa chakula. Shirika hilo linashauri mataifa kuchukua hatua za kuimarisha sera za uchumi, biashara na uwekezaji ili kujikinga na madhara ya mishtuko hiyo.Na panya wanazua balaa huko Ukanda wa Gaza eneo la Palestina linalokaliwa kimabavu na Israel. Wananchi wanasema kuwa panya wanaingia kwenye mahema kila siku, wanachafua akiba ya chakula, na kushambulia watoto wadogo nyakati za usiku. Ikumbukwe baada ya vita kusitishwa wananchi walirejea katika maeneo yao lakini kwakuwa nyumba zililipuliwa wengi wanaishi kwenye mahema huku mazingira yakiwa machafu na mifumo ya maji ikiwa haifanyi kazi na hayo ni mazingira mazuri kwa panya kuzaliana.Mwenyeji wako ni Rashid Malekela, karibu!

Quase paralisação da navegação no Estreito de Ormuz abala fornecimento de energia e combustíveis a países em desenvolvimento na África e no Sul da Ásia, que dependem fortemente da importação de gás natural, alimentos e fertilizantes; Unctad cita Angola e Moçambique na lista de produtores de petróleo.

Tangu kuanza kwa vita huko Mashariki ya Kati baada ya Israel na Marekani kuishambulia Iran mnamo tarehe 28 Februari na kisha Iran kujibu mashambulizi, wasiwasi umekuwa ukiongezeka kuhusu kupanda kwa bei za mafuta na bidhaa nyingine. Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Maendeleo na Biashara UNCTAD linafuatilia kwa karibu hali inayoendelea na kutoa takwimu na uchambuzi ili kuzisaidia serikali na wadau wengine waweze kujipanga na kuratibu vyema mambo yao hususan yanayohusiana na usafiri wa baharini.Katikati ya vita hii inayoendelea Mashariki ya Kati kuna suala la mlango bahari wa Hormuz, hili ni eneo muhimu sana lililopo Iran ambako takriban robo ya mafuta yote duniani, meli zake hupita hapo. Bidhaa nyingine muhimu zinazopita hapo ni gesi asilia na mbolea. Ingawa mlango bahari wa Hormuz haujafungwa rasmi, lakini umewekewa vikwazo vikali, huku kukiwa na mashambulizi mengi ya Iran dhidi ya meli tangu vita vilipozuka siku 26 zilizopita. Akizungumza na Idhaa ya Umoja wa Mataifa, Mkuu wa Kitengo cha Masuala ya Uchumi wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Maendeleo na Biashara UNCTAD Frida Youssef anaanza kwa kutueleza hali ilivyokuwa kabla ya vita.“Kabla tu ya mzozo, tunapoangalia wastani wa idadi ya meli kwa siku zilizokuwa zikipitia Hormuz, ilikuwa karibu meli 129, 130 na katika wiki mbili zilizopita, ilikuwa karibu meli mbili hadi saba kwa siku.”Kwa lugha nyingine upungufu ni takriban asilimia 95. Je ni maeneo gani yameathirika zaidi? “Usafirishaji wa mbolea unaathirika pamoja na bei ya uzalishaji, kwa mfano, mbolea za nitrojeni ambazo hutegemea sana gesi. Kwa hivyo, hii inabadilisha tena kuwa ni athari kwenye kilimo ambayo baadaye itaonekana kwenye kupanda kwa bei ya chakula.” UN News/Daniel DickinsonKufungwa kwa mlangobahari wa Hormuz kunaathiri biashara kwa kiwango cha kimataifa.Akiendea na tathmini yake Mkuu huyo wa Kitengo cha Masuala ya Uchumi wa UNCTAD anasema hivi sasa bei za mafuta zimepanda.“Tumeona bei ya mafuta yanayotumika katika vyombo vya usafiri baharini ikiongezeka maradufu. Hii pia inaathiri gharama ya usafiri, si tu kwasababu bei ya mafuta imepanda bali pia bei, kwa mfano, ya bima. Malipo ya bima ya vita yameongezeka, katika baadhi ya maeneo imeongezeka mara nne.”UNCTAD inaendelea kufuatilia na kutoa taarifa kwa serikali na wadau kwani vita hii inayoendelea inaathari kwa kila mtu lakini nchi zenye uchumi mdogo ndio zitakazo athirika zaidi kwani zinauwezo mdogo zaidi wa kuvumilia mshtuko huu wa kiuchumi na ndio zitakazohisi athari zake kwa nguvu zaidi. “Inaathiri usafiri, inaathiri nishati, inaathiri chakula na pia inaongeza gharama na upatikanaji ni mgumu. Kwa hivyo, haya yote kwa pamoja yanakuwa na athari kwenye uchumi wa umma katika nchi, pamoja na gharama za maisha kwa kaya.”

More than 30 landlocked developing countries – from Bolivia to Bhutan and Burkina Faso – face some of the world's highest trading costs, deepest poverty and weakest investment flows.Rebeca Grynspan, head of the UN's trade and development agency, UNCTAD, has told UN News that they are "invisible to much of the world", prisoners of outdated structural constraints.Speaking on the sidelines of the Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries, in Awaza, Turkmenistan, she explained to Nargiz Shekinskaya why digital trade, regional integration and long-term investment are critical to unlocking their potential.

More than 3.3 billion people live in developing countries that spend more on interest payments than on education or health. Sovereign debt levels of developing economies are a threat to economic stability. At least 50 such countries spend more than 10% of their revenues on debt servicing, which is squeezing their finances and creating risks. In these countries, interest payments also outweigh climate investments, adding further risks to existing vulnerabilities. A UNCTAD report says global public debt hit a record high of $97 trillion in 2023, with developing countries accounting for $29 trillion. Their debt has grown twice as fast as the others' since 2010.

Según la UNCTAD, el comercio mundial alcanzó en 2024 la cifra récord de 33 billones de dólares, siguiendo una tendencia creciente en los últimos años, que ha sido impulsada principalmente por el aumento de la compra y venta internacional de servicios. Pero esta tendencia muy probablemente cambiará en 2025 como resultado de los aranceles anunciados por el gobierno de Estados Unidos. Para entender la lógica detrás de los aranceles, el impacto que estos pueden tener sobre el comercio y sobre la economía en general y las implicaciones no solo económicas sino también políticas de este tipo de medidas en un mundo que no se recupera por completo de la pandemia, nos acompañan: desde Bogotá, Tatiana Andrea Gélvez y Javier Garay, de la universidad Externado de Colombia; desde Montevideo, Nicolás Pose, de la Universidad de la República, y desde Alemania, Eric Behar, de la Universidad Internacional de Ciencias Aplicadas.

In this episode of The Lid Is On, Conor Lennon from UN News speaks to Luz Maria de la Mora, the Director of the International Trade Division at UNCTAD, about the uncertainty that unilateral tariffs are having on the global trade outlook, and why the consequence could be particularly serious for developing economies.Music by Joachim Harris, all rights reserved 

In this episode of The Weekly Tradecast, Luz María de la Mora, Director of UNCTAD's Trade Division, looks into the complex realities behind today's trade debates. In a world shaped by disruption – from climate change and geopolitical tensions to digital transformations – the global trading system is at a crossroads. Free trade, once seen as a force for prosperity and integration, is now under scrutiny. But is trade the culprit or a catalyst for solutions? Drawing from decades of experience in international negotiations, she explores how trade can remain a force for good – one that fuels inclusive growth, empowers small businesses, supports the green and digital transitions, and offers hope to communities worldwide. Listen now to discover why, even in turbulent times, trade still holds the potential to drive sustainable development – if we get it right.

The Weekly Tradecast looks at Africa's economies and ways to boost trade, reduce risk and unlock the continent's potential with Mona Farid Mohmed Badran from Cairo University and also UN Trade and Development's (UNCTAD) chief of the Africa section, Habiba Barka. From economic turbulence to the impact of climate change, UN Trade and Development's latest report on Africa says much of the continent struggles to get ahead due to repeated exposure to external shocks. Its economies are particularly vulnerable because they rely heavily on commodity exports, carry high levels of debt and have limited technology infrastructure. According to the new Economic Development in Africa report, key steps forward include wider diversification of economies, greater regional trade and more robust rules across the continent of 1.4 billion people.

What if humanity's quest to control nature has led us to a precipice of both technological triumph and ecological disaster? Join us on a journey from the ancient practices of foraging and controlled burning to the modern complexities of mechanized agriculture. We uncover how early agricultural methods created both stability and fragility, and how our evolving belief in dominating nature has woven itself into the fabric of modern society and historical texts.As we navigate the tangled web of market forces and agricultural practices, we question the effectiveness of capitalist logic in solving environmental crises. We'll explore the historical context of sustainable farming, the disruptive influence of fossil fuels, and the commodification of agriculture. Reflecting on insights from the Substack article "Capital and Growth," we challenge the idea that markets are self-correcting and consider moving more elements out of this system to better address ecological and social issues.Finally, we reframe the narrative around global food production and hunger, highlighting the real culprits behind food shortages. By examining the inefficiencies in resource allocation and the unsustainable nature of continuous population growth, we emphasize the need to respect natural limits and foster biodiversity. We share thought-provoking perspectives on sustainable agriculture, cultural significance of food, and the inherent boundaries that shape our existence. Tune in to rethink our relationship with nature and agriculture, and discover a path to true sustainability.Gunnar Rundgren is a critical thinker with vast experiences from more than 100 countries in the world.

What a normal life is like for the rest of the world does not apply in Gaza, and it almost never has. Even before October 7, electricity only came on for an average of four to six hours a day and nearly 98 per cent of water was undrinkable. Transportation options were always limited and housing was a challenge in one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Now, after more than six months of war, around 50 to 70 percent of housing has been destroyed. The cost of damage between October and January alone is estimated by the World Bank at $18.5 billion. In this week's Beyond The Headlines, host Nada AlTaher explores whether life in Gaza can ever go back to any kind of normality, looking at the path to rebuilding the strip and the mammoth task at hand. She speaks to Rami Al Azzeh, economist with the Assistance to the Palestinian People Unit at UNCTAD, and Amira Aker, a postdoctoral fellow at Canada's Universite Laval who specialises in epidemiology and environmental health.
