The election of Zohran Mamdani, member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), as mayor of New York City on November 4 was a kick in the teeth to United States President Donald Trump and his “Make America Great Again” movement, and a beacon of hope for socialists around the world. Mamdani's win was built on an exciting campaign that mobilised more than 100,000 volunteers to promote his platform, which included tackling the cost-of-living crisis by freezing rents, implementing free buses and opening publicly owned supermarkets. Winnie Marion, a DSA member based in NYC, joined the Green Left Show to discuss the campaign, and the next steps for the socialist movement. Marion is speaking (via zoom) at a public forum organised by the Socialist Alliance on November 22, details here: https://www.greenleft.org.au/2025-11/event/forum-mamdanis-election-beacon-hope We acknowledge that this video was produced on stolen Aboriginal land.

The BBC is in turmoil. A leaked dossier exposing a misedited speech of United States President Donald Trump and other editorial concerns has triggered resignations at the top - and a $1bn lawsuit threat from the US leader. Why the leak surfaced now, and who steps in next, are still open questions. Most importantly, will the BBC be able to recover from this moment?

After the capital of capitalism voted for socialism and Democrats in two states trounced Republicans, United States President Donald Trump is worried that he won't be able to impose his domestic vision for the nation, Republican strategist John Feehery argues. Feehery tells host Steve Clemons that Trump needs to refocus his energy from foreign policy to the domestic concerns facing Americans, especially the cost of living. On Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's victory in New York City, Feehery says: “Republicans have to be careful because if he turns out to be popular, that could be something that Democrats decide to run on.”
As President Xi Jinping is set to meet with United States President Donald Trump on Thursday, observers said the top priority is to further faithfully implement all of the points of consensus that have been, and will be, made by the two heads of state.随着习近平主席将于周四会晤美国总统特朗普,观察人士指出,首要任务是继续忠实落实两国元首已达成的共识,同时推进即将敲定的各项共识要点的落地。The scenario is expected to improve the overall stability of China-US ties as well as two-way collaboration, which has been keptafloat in various aspects ranging from trade to law enforcement, they added.观察人士补充道,此次会晤有望进一步提升中美关系的整体稳定性,为双方在贸易、执法等多个领域的持续合作注入动力。As agreed to by China and the US, Xi will meet with Trump in Busan, a coastal city in the Republic of Korea, to "exchange views on bilateral relations and issues of mutual interest", the Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday.中国外交部周三正式宣布,根据中美双方此前商定,习近平主席将在韩国海滨城市釜山与特朗普总统举行会晤,就双边关系发展及共同关心的国际和地区问题交换意见。This will be the first face-to-face meeting between them since Trump assumed office in January for his second term as US president.这将是特朗普今年1月开启第二任期以来,中美两国元首首次面对面会晤。"Head-of-state diplomacy plays an irreplaceable role in providing strategic guidance for China-US relations," Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said.外交部发言人郭佳昆表示:“元首外交对中美关系具有不可替代的战略引领作用。”During their meeting, the two presidents will have "in-depth communication on strategic and long-term issues concerning China-US relations and major issues of common concern", he said.他指出,两国元首会晤期间将就“中美关系战略性、长远性问题及重大关切事项进行深入沟通”。"We are willing to make joint efforts with the US side to drive this meeting toyield positive outcomes, and to provide new guidance and inject newimpetus into the stable development of China-US relations," Guo said at a news briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.郭家驹周三在北京记者会上表示:“中方愿同美方共同努力,推动本次会晤取得积极务实成果,为中美关系稳定发展提供新的指引、注入新的动力。”Last month, the two leaders held their third phone talks this year, following the first in January and the second in June.继今年1月和6月的两次通话后,两国元首上月再度通电话,完成了今年第三次高层沟通。In the most recent phone talks, Xi said the two nations "are fully capable of helping each other succeed and prospering together", and Trump said the two countries working together can get many great things done that are good for world peace and stability.在此次通话中,习近平主席表示,中美两国“完全有能力相互成就、共同繁荣”,特朗普总统则回应称,美中携手合作,能够成就诸多造福世界和平与稳定的伟大事业。Diao Daming, a professor of US studies at Renmin University of China's School of International Relations, noted that the China-US ties, despite some ups and downs this year, "have maintained a generally stable status thanks to the navigating role played by head-of-state diplomacy".中国人民大学国际关系学院美国问题教授刁大明指出,尽管今年中美关系经历了一些起伏,但“在元首外交的战略引领下,总体保持了稳定发展态势”。The ties have been affected by destabilizing factors such as economic andtrade frictions brought by Washington's view of China as a competitor, he said.他认为,当前中美关系受到多重不稳定因素印象,其中包括华盛顿将中国视为竞争对手所引发的经贸摩擦等问题。On Monday, Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a phone call with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in which Wang noted that both Xi and Trump are "world-class leaders", and their long-term exchanges and mutual respect have become "the most valuable strategic asset in China-US relations".周一,中国外交部长王毅与美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥(Marco Rubio)通电话。王毅指出,习近平主席和特朗普总统都是“世界级领导人”,双方长期以来的交流互敬,已成为“中美关系中最宝贵的战略资产”。China is now the US' second-largest source of imports and third-largest market for its exports.数据显示,中国目前是美国第二大进口来源国,同时也是美国第三大出口市场。This year, the two sides have held five rounds of economic and trade talks—in Geneva, Switzerland in May; in London, the United Kingdom, in June; in Stockholm, Sweden, in July; in Madrid, Spain, in September; and in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Saturday and Sunday.今年中美双方已举行五轮贸易磋商,磋商地点分别是5月在瑞士日内瓦、6月在英国伦敦、7月在瑞典斯德哥尔摩、9月在西班牙马德里,以及上周六至周日在马来西亚吉隆坡举行的最新一轮磋商。Wu Xinbo, dean of Fudan University's Institute of International Studies, said the latest economic and trade talks in Malaysia reached a framework consensus on addressing the current urgent economic and trade issues on an equal footing, and they helped pave the way for the head-of-state meeting in the ROK.复旦大学国际问题研究院院长吴心伯表示,马来西亚最新一轮经贸谈判中,双方就平等解决当前紧迫的经贸问题达成框架性共识,为此次在韩国举行的中美国家元首会晤奠定了良好的基础。afloat/əˈfloʊt/adj.(在水中)漂浮的yield/jiːld/v.推动,产出impetus/ˈɪm.pə.t̬əs/n.刺激trade friction贸易摩擦

There's rapid change happening in Middle East In a ceremonial show of unity, world leaders headed to Egypt for an Oct. 13 peace summit in support of United States President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza. All living hostages have been returned to Israel, though Jerusalem is still working to secure the release of some deceased hostages. It's been a historic week, but questions remain about the future of Hamas, and what it will take to deliver long-term security in the region. To discuss what happens next, Andrew Fox joins Inside Policy Talks. Fox served 16 years in the British Army, completed three tours in Afghanistan, and further tours of Bosnia, Northern Ireland, and the Middle East. A prominent expert on the Israel-Hamas war, Fox was a senior lecturer at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He is currently an associate fellow at the Henry Jackson Society and an associate fellow at the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security. On the podcast, he tells Casey Babb, who leads the Macdonald-Laurier Institute's Promised Land project, that it's difficult to gauge what level of support Hamas retains in Gaza. However, he says the deeply rooted ideaology of "Palestinianism" will remain a problem in any scenario. "This idea of the from the river to the sea – it's not about having your independent Gaza Strip or your independent West Bank and a Palestinian polity," says Fox. "It's about getting rid of Israel and replacing it with this brand new country called Palestine that's never existed before." "I would suggest that's got a near 100 per cent approval rating across the Palestinian territories."
All 20 surviving Israeli hostages have been released from Hamas captivity in Gaza in a historic exchange as part of the first phase of a Gaza peace plan. And nearly 2000 Palestinians have also been freed from Israeli prisons, with the majority headed back to the war-ravaged Palestinian enclave. United States President Donald Trump has claimed the Israel-Hamas war is over, but negotiations are set to continue in Egypt with long-term peace still far from secure. - ガザ地区の和平合意の第一段階として、ハマスに拘束されていた人質、生存者20人全員が解放されました。また、イスラエルの刑務所に収監されていたパレスチナ人およそ2000人も釈放され、その多くが戦争で大きな被害を受けたガザ地区へ戻る見込みです。 アメリカのドナルド・トランプ大統領は「イスラエルとハマスの戦争は終わった」と述べましたが、長期的な和平の実現にはなお時間がかかるとみられ、エジプトでの協議は今後も続けられる予定です。

Yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netenyahu was greeted by United States President Donald Trump at the White House to discuss many things, including ending the war in Gaza. After a lengthy talk, the leaders announced to the press the conditions they had come up with to offer to Hamas, despite no Palestinian or Hamas officials being present. The proposal calls for an immediate ceasefire, a swap of hostages held by Hamas and prisoners held by Israel, a staged Israeli withdrawal from the Palestinian territory and demands that Hamas immediately disarms and renounces any governance in the strip. The US President's plan would also establish a temporary governing board that would be headed by Trump himself and would include former United Kingdom Prime Minister Tony Blair. Trump then announced Hamas had three or four days to respond to the deal, and Netenyahu promised that if Hamas were to reject the deal, he would “finish the job” in Gaza. To talk about the peace proposal led by Donald Trump and if it brings the war in Gaza any closer to ending, Producer Max spoke to co-chair of the Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa John Minto and retired professor in international relations Stephen Hoadley.

Police officers carry out security searches outside the Windsor Castle in Windsor, England, on Monday, ahead of the state visit of US President Donald Trump.周一,在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普国事访问前夕,英国英格兰温莎镇的温莎城堡外,警方正在开展安全搜查工作。United States President Donald Trump was due to arrive in the United Kingdom on Tuesday for an unprecedented second state visit, with police saying they have prepared for "every eventuality" in their security operation.美国总统唐纳德·特朗普定于周二抵达英国,开启其史无前例的第二次国事访问。英国警方表示,已为安保行动做好“应对各种可能情况”的准备。The president and first lady Melania Trump are being hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle, the historic royal residence, about 40 kilometers west of London.特朗普总统与第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普将由英国国王查尔斯三世和王后卡米拉在温莎城堡接待。温莎城堡是具有历史意义的王室居所,位于伦敦以西约40公里处。On Wednesday, the president will be treated to the customary display of full royal pageantry, including a carriage procession and state banquet. On Thursday, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will host Trump at Chequers, his countryside retreat in Buckinghamshire, northwest of London.周三,特朗普将出席传统的全套王室礼仪活动,包括马车巡游和国宴。周四,英国首相基尔·斯塔默将在其位于伦敦西北部白金汉郡的乡间别墅契克斯接待特朗普。Police in the UK say they are "content" with their security plans and are prepared to respond to a potential "very high threat level".英国警方表示,对当前安保计划“满意”,并已做好应对潜在“极高威胁级别”的准备。"This is a significant policing and security operation, as would be expected for a state visit of the president of the United States," Assistant Chief Constable Christian Bunt of the Thames Valley Police told reporters on Monday.泰晤士河谷警察局助理局长克里斯蒂安·邦特周一告诉记者:“正如人们对美国总统国事访问的预期,这是一项重大的警务与安保行动。”"We have planned a very comprehensive policing and security operation that has taken into consideration just about every eventuality," he added.他补充道:“我们制定了一套非常全面的警务与安保方案,几乎考虑到了所有可能发生的情况。”Having originally planned to stay in the UK until Friday, Trump's trip has since been shortened, due to the president's schedule, and his visit will now end on Thursday.特朗普原本计划在英国停留至周五,但由于总统日程安排原因,此次行程已缩短,访问将于周四结束。It is the first time Trump has met with Charles since he became king, but a second state visit is unusual as second-term US presidents are typically offered only tea or lunch with the monarch. Trump made his first full state visit to the UK in 2019, when he met Queen Elizabeth II.这是查尔斯三世登基后,特朗普首次与其会面。不过,美国总统一任期内进行两次国事访问并不常见——通常情况下,美国连任总统与英国君主的会面仅为茶叙或午餐。特朗普首次对英国进行完整国事访问是在2019年,当时他会见了英国女王伊丽莎白二世。This UK visit comes two months after Trump made a private trip to Scotland, where he met Starmer, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and Scotland's First Minister John Swinney, and opened a new luxury golf course. Locals had complained about heavy policing that cost taxpayers' money during his trip to Scotland.此次访问英国的两个月前,特朗普曾对苏格兰进行私人访问。期间,他会见了斯塔默、欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩以及苏格兰首席大臣约翰·斯温尼,并为一座新的豪华高尔夫球场揭幕。当时,当地民众曾抱怨其访问期间的大规模安保行动耗费了纳税人资金。Key issues核心议题Trade, Ukraine and Gaza are likely to top Thursday's agenda for talks when Trump meets Starmer. They may also discuss the recent dismissal of Peter Mandelson, the former British ambassador to Washington, over his past ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.周四特朗普与斯塔默会谈时,贸易、乌克兰和加沙问题可能会成为首要议题。双方还可能讨论英国前驻美大使彼得·曼德尔森近期被解职一事——曼德尔森因过去与已定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦存在关联而被免职。A spokesperson for Starmer told reporters on Monday that the prime minister "sees this state visit squarely through the lens of delivering for working people", citing US investment pledged over the weekend to create 1,800 jobs in Britain and a civil nuclear partnership that could lower energy prices.斯塔默的发言人周一告诉记者,首相“完全从为劳动人民谋福祉的角度看待此次国事访问”。该发言人还提及,上周末美国已承诺在英国投资以创造1800个就业岗位,且双方将建立民用核能合作伙伴关系,这一合作有望降低能源价格。Senior US officials said on Monday that US and UK plan to unveil more than $10 billion in economic deals during the visit.美国高级官员周一表示,美英计划在此次访问期间公布总额超100亿美元的经济合作协议。The package is expected to include a three-pillar trade arrangement: a new partnership to bolster both countries' tech sectors, expanded cooperation on civil nuclear power, and deeper collaboration on defense technologies, according to a briefing with reporters.据一场记者吹风会透露,该协议套餐预计包含一项“三大支柱”贸易安排:一是建立新合作伙伴关系以加强两国科技产业;二是扩大民用核能领域合作;三是深化国防技术领域协作。On Tuesday, Google announced plans to invest $6.8 billion in the UK over the next two years for infrastructure and scientific research, including a new data center near London.周二,谷歌宣布计划未来两年在英国投资68亿美元,用于基础设施建设与科学研究,其中包括在伦敦附近新建一座数据中心。Also waiting for Trump in London is opposition.在伦敦,特朗普还将面临民众抗议。A network of more than 50 trade unions, charities, and advocacy groups plans to assemble on Wednesday in central London, before marching to Parliament Square.由50多个工会、慈善机构和倡议组织组成的联盟计划于周三在伦敦市中心集结,随后向议会广场行进。UK and US senior officialsn.英美高级官员/ˌjuː ˈkeɪ ənd ˌjuː ˈes ˈsiːniə ˈɒfɪʃlz/protest groups (trade unions, charities, advocacy groups)n.抗议团体(工会、慈善机构、倡议组织)/ˈprəʊtest ɡruːps (treɪd ˈjuːniənz, ˈtʃærətiz, ˈædvəkəsi ɡruːps)/
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announced on Sunday that he will step down as the head of the Liberal Democratic Party, amid growing calls for him to take responsibility for the party-led ruling coalition's election setback in both houses of parliament.日本首相石破茂于周日宣布,将辞去自民党总裁一职。此前,因自民党主导的执政联盟在国会参众两院选举中遭遇挫折,要求其承担责任的呼声日益高涨。Addressing a news conference at the prime minister's office in Tokyo, Ishiba said he has "made the painful decision to resign despite still having unfinished tasks", emphasizing that the LDP must undergo genuine renewal and remain a tolerant and inclusive force.在东京首相官邸举行的记者会上,石破茂表示,尽管仍有未竟之事,但他已“做出辞职这一艰难决定”。他强调,自民党必须实现真正的革新,始终保持包容开放的姿态。He added that he would not stand as a candidate in the expected LDP leadership election triggered by his resignation.他还补充称,在其辞职后预计将举行的自民党总裁选举中,自己不会作为候选人参选。Ishiba's announcement came a day before the LDP was scheduled to decide whether to hold an early party leadership election, which would essentially be demanding his resignation, according to Japanese media platform Nikkei Asia.据日本媒体《日经亚洲评论》报道,自民党原计划于次日就是否提前举行总裁选举作出决定,而这一选举本质上等同于要求石破茂辞职。此次石破茂宣布辞职,恰在该计划之前。It also followed a formal agreement reached on Thursday with the administration of United States President Donald Trump on 15 percent reciprocal tariffs on Japanese exports to the US.此外,就在此前的周四,日本政府与美国前总统唐纳德・特朗普政府就日本输美商品相互征收15%关税达成正式协议,石破茂此次辞职也发生在这一背景之下。At Sunday's news conference, Ishiba said he had long considered tariff negotiations with the US a responsibility of his administration. With the signing of a memorandum of understanding last week, Ishiba said the negotiations reached a milestone, which made him decide to make way for his successor.在周日的记者会上,石破茂表示,长期以来,他一直将与美国的关税谈判视为本届政府的重要职责。他指出,上周双方签署相关谅解备忘录,标志着谈判取得阶段性成果,这也促使他决定为继任者让路。In September 2024, Ishiba was elected president of the LDP for a term of three years. In October last year, the LDP and its junior coalition partner, the Komeito, lost their majority in the House of Representatives, the lower house of the National Diet of Japan. In July this year, the ruling coalition also lost its majority in the House of Councillors, or the upper house.2024年9月,石破茂当选自民党总裁,任期为三年。去年10月,自民党与其执政联盟伙伴公明党在日本国会众议院(下议院)选举中失去多数席位;今年7月,该执政联盟又在国会参议院(上议院)选举中丧失多数优势。In postwar Japan, the head of the LDP — the country's dominant political force since the party's founding in 1955 — has almost always become the prime minister, because the party commands the largest share of seats in the Diet. When an LDP president resigns or is replaced, the post of prime minister typically changes hands as well.在战后日本政治格局中,自民党自1955年成立以来一直是日本政坛的主导力量。由于该党在国会中占据最多席位,自民党总裁几乎始终能出任日本首相。因此,当自民党总裁辞职或被替换时,日本首相职位通常也会随之更迭。According to the LDP's rules, a new leadership election can be held before the incumbent president's term expires. A majority of LDP members in the Diet and a majority of representatives in the LDP's prefectural branches can jointly request an election for a new president.根据自民党党章规定,在现任总裁任期届满前,可提前举行总裁选举。只要自民党在国会中的议员多数与该党都道府县支部代表多数联合提出申请,即可启动新总裁选举程序。Following Ishiba's formal resignation announcement, the LDP is expected to hold an extraordinary executive meeting on Monday morning, at which it will likely decide to cancel the submission of documents for an early party leadership election, according to TBS News, a commercial broadcasting company based in Tokyo.据东京商业广播公司TBS新闻报道,在石破茂正式宣布辞职后,自民党预计将在周一上午召开临时执行会议,会上可能会决定不再提交提前举行总裁选举的相关文件。The Associated Press reported that the LDP is expected to set a date for a party leadership election, likely to be held in early October.另据美联社报道,自民党有望确定总裁选举的具体日期,选举大概率将于10月初举行。

Putin will also attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Tianjin, to be held from Sunday to Monday.His China visit also comes following President Xi Jinping's state visit to Russia in May and Xi's attendance at the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War.Hong said that during that visit, Xi and Putin together sent the strong message that "the history of World War II must not be distorted, the victorious outcomes of World War II must not be denied, and the postwar international order must not be challenged".Regarding Kim's China visit, Hong said that safeguarding, consolidating and developing relations between China and the DPRK is the firm position of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government.China stands ready to work with the DPRK to continue to enhance exchanges and cooperation and advance socialist development, coordinate closely on promoting the peace and stability of the region and safeguard international fairness and justice, he said.Sept 3 is celebrated in China as Victory Day, marking the signing of the Japanese Instrument of Surrender on Sept 2, 1945.The Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) was the first war to break out and the longest-running campaign in the World Anti-Fascist War. It resulted in over 35 million Chinese military and civilian casualties.With regard to a question about some forces in Japan seeking to remove restrictions on its military, including downplaying its history of aggression and even distorting historical truth to paint themselves as a victim of war, Hong said that such acts pose challenges to the post-World War II international order, to human conscience and to all who love peace."We urge Japan to face history squarely, reflect deeply upon its crimes of aggression, make a clean break with militarism and pursue the right path of peaceful development, good neighborliness and friendship," he said.Former Japanese prime minister Yukio Hatoyama, who said that Japan should reflect on its stance on history, will be among the former statesmen invited to attend the commemorations.A total of 50 international friends who have contributed to the war of resistance against Japanese aggression or their families from 14 countries, including Russia, the US, the United Kingdom, France and Canada, will also attend the commemorations.Wu Zeke, deputy director of the Office of the Leading Group for the Military Parade and a senior officer of the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission, said at the news conference that the preparations for the V-Day military parade are basically complete.The parade will feature a wide range of weapons and equipment, much of which will be unveiled for the first time, Wu said, adding that the event will highlight the Chinese military's recent advances in modernization and enhanced combat readiness.When asked about what message China will send to the world about the military parade, Hong said, "We hold the military parade to show our firm determination to pursue the path of peaceful development, our strong will to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and our great capability to safeguard world peace and tranquility."

United States President Donald Trump can force Israel to end the war on Gaza if he shows the same gumption as he did with Iran, argues Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Parsi discusses the wider implications of the 12-day war on Iran with host Steve Clemons, including: Will Iran double down on its nuclear weapons programme? Will improved Iran-US relations lead to sanctions relief?

After a comment at the G7 from French president Emmanuel Macron welcoming Mr Trump's own remarks that he was having discussions with Iran and Israel, Mr Trump posted on social media describing Mr Macron as "publicity seeking", and claiming he is working on matters "much bigger than that".
