Since this episode aired last year, we're still dreaming of a just and representative global order. Catherine Nzuki was joined by Ambassador Martin Kimani, PhD, the Executive Director of New York University's Center on International Cooperation. He was previously the Permanent Representative of Kenya to the United Nations (UN). In this episode, we take a deep dive into Africa's bid for two permanent seats on the UN Security Council (UNSC) and the long road to get there. We discuss how long Africa has been pushing for these seats (3:40); the procedure to create the two permanent seats (7:00); why the process of selecting which African state will occupy those seats could cause infighting (15:20); and two scenarios for how these seats could be distributed (19:40). We zoom out to discuss the deficit of visionary contemporary leaders (30:18); the types of reforms that the African Union needs (34:42); Africa's demographic dividend (36:00); Africa in the G20 (42:30); and finally, reordering global geography in line with Africa's own interests (45:00).

In THIS episode of Who Would Win Unleashed, the cybernetically enhanced Spartan super-soldier Master Chief (championed by James Gavsie) takes on the lean, green, ninja machine known as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (repped by Eric Holmes) in an all-out brawl across sewer tunnels, rooftops, and UNSC drop zones!Armed with Mjolnir armor, military-grade tactics, AI support from Cortana, and a weapons locker full of alien-slaying firepower, Master Chief enters the battlefield as the embodiment of human perfection through science and war. But the TMNT aren't just pizza-powered punks—they're a mutant brotherhood of martial arts mastery: Leonardo's precision, Donatello's tech smarts, Raphael's raw aggression, and Michelangelo's unpredictably wild style combine into a chaotic ballet of turtle-powered teamwork.As plasma grenades meet flying nunchaku and energy swords clash with twin katanas, this isn't just a battle—it's a clash of philosophies: lone-wolf military precision versus family-fueled ninja synergy.Join hosts James and Eric as they dive deep into comic-book lore, gaming stats, ninja scrolls, Halo kill-streaks, sewer-level tactics, and next-gen durability debates.

For review:1. US Vetoes UNSC Gaza Ceasefire Resolution. “The United States has been clear we would not support any measure that fails to condemn Hamas and does not call for Hamas to disarm and leave Gaza,” Acting US Ambassador to the UN Dorothy Shea told the council before the vote. 2.

The UN Security Council held a closed-door consultation Monday to discuss rising India-Pakistan tensions after a terror attack in Pahalgam killed 26 people. The meeting, initiated by Greece and requested by Pakistan, saw calls for de-escalation and “tough questions” reportedly posed to Islamabad. Though no official statement was issued, Pakistan claimed its goals were “largely served.” UN official Khaled Khiari briefed members on the volatile situation and emphasized dialogue and peaceful resolution. The UNSC's 15 members discussed the issue amid growing concern over regional stability following the deadly attack.The Indian Army on Tuesday apprehended a Pakistani national near the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch's Chakkan Da Bagh area, amid surging India-Pakistan tensions. Army officials said the man is under interrogation. His capture follows the recent terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 25 tourists and a local, triggering frequent ceasefire violations by Pakistan across the LoC. The Indian Army has responded with retaliatory fire as border hostilities intensify. Military officials say heightened vigilance continues along the volatile frontier, which has seen firing in multiple sectors over the past few days.Amid fears of an Indian military response to the Pahalgam terror attack, the Centre on Monday instructed northern and western states and Union Territories to test civil defence readiness. The Ministry of Home Affairs directed mock drills for May 7 across J&K, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Haryana. States were asked to activate air raid sirens, implement blackout protocols, train civilians in safety drills, and practice evacuation plans. The alert comes as cross-border tensions spike and India braces for possible retaliation, with the Line of Control witnessing daily ceasefire violations since the attack.The Supreme Court warned Indraprastha Apollo Hospital on March 25 that AIIMS may take over its management if it continues to violate land lease terms requiring free treatment for poor patients. Over 12 years, Apollo reportedly allocated only 17% of its mandated Economically Weaker Section (EWS) beds, with some years as low as 12%. The court's rebuke follows a review of internal records revealing chronic underperformance. The hospital was granted land at concessional rates with the condition of providing EWS care, a commitment it now risks losing if non-compliance continues.The Trump administration has introduced a controversial new policy encouraging undocumented immigrants to leave the U.S. voluntarily. According to The New York Times, migrants will be offered $1,000 and a plane ticket home if they choose to self-deport. Payment is issued after departure is verified through the CBP Home app. Officials claim the policy will reduce deportation costs, which typically involve locating, detaining, and flying individuals out via government resources. The policy is being framed as a cost-saving measure amid ongoing debates over immigration enforcement and border control.

Gaza food prices surge 100-fold after Israeli border closure Israeli drone strikes kill multiple Palestinians, violating the ceasefire Trump orders halt to US aid in Ukraine Austria's first three-party gov't since WW2 takes office, keeps far-right out Türkiye's Erdogan calls for Muslim veto power at UNSC
Israel prepares to occupy Gaza with US backing "Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has said that the military is gearing up to occupy Gaza under newly appointed Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir—coordinating efforts with US President Donald Trump's administration. Smotrich issued a stark warning to the Palestinian resistance group Hamas, vowing a devastating offensive. He also said that when they decide the time has come to resume the war, everyone will be surprised by the unity, strength, and lethal precision of Israel's Gaza occupation. The Trump administration, he added, firmly backs the Israeli invasion of Gaza." UNSC passes resolution calling for end to Russia-Ukraine war "The UN Security Council has passed a resolution urging a “swift end” to the Russia-Ukraine war, though it fell short of stronger language pushed by the UK and EU. The US-drafted measure passed with 10 votes in favor and five abstentions. While hailed as a crucial step toward peace, the resolution avoided direct mention of Russia's annexations—fueling criticism. European envoys stressed Ukraine must dictate its own peace, rejecting any “false equivalence” between aggressor and victim." Russia proposes joint exploration of rare earth metals, energy with US "Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a rare economic deal with the US, offering joint exploration of rare earth metals and a potential supply of 2 million tons of aluminum annually—if US tariffs are lifted. He also hinted at energy cooperation in Siberia. Putin chaired a meeting with his officials to discuss rare earth metals following US President Donald Trump's statement, in which he said major economic development transactions with Russia would take place. Meanwhile, the Russian president signaled openness to slashing defence budgets by 50 percent to ease global tensions." Fighting in DR Congo's east kills 7,000 since January "Fighting in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's eastern region has claimed 7,000 lives since January, Prime Minister Judith Suminwa Tuluka has confirmed. Speaking in Geneva, she highlighted that over 3,000 deaths occurred in Goma alone, many of them civilians. Tuluka echoed UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' concerns about the M23 rebel offensive, which is fuelling violence and human rights abuses. Amid growing fears of a regional war, she called for an immediate ceasefire and troop withdrawal, and welcomed US sanctions against Rwanda for supporting the rebel group." Apple announces $500B US investment in software development "Apple has pledged a massive investment of over $500 billion in the US over the next four years, a move that will create 20,000 new jobs, focusing on research and development, artificial intelligence, and software development. The tech giant will also open a manufacturing plant in Houston and an academy in Detroit to support advanced manufacturing. The company's CEO Tim Cook expressed confidence in America's innovation future, further cementing the company's commitment to US growth, following President Trump's tariff-driven push for domestic production."

In this episode, we take a deep dive into Africa's bid for two permanent seats on the UN Security Council (UNSC) and the long road to get there.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The UN Security Council is slated to vote on a resolution demanding “an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire” in Gaza. This time, there is also the demand for the “immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.” Rettig Gur weighs in on what the chances are of its passage — and whether it is of any significance. After a meeting with Lebanon's Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, an ally of Hezbollah, Special Envoy Amos Hochstein said, “I came back [to Lebanon] because we have a real opportunity to bring this conflict to an end,” adding that gaps between the sides had been “significantly narrowed” in the talks Tuesday. Berri said the “situation is good in principle,” though some unresolved technical details remain. Why aren't we hearing such optimism from Israel? Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited an Israeli military position in the Gaza Strip and reiterated an offer to lavishly pay Gazans who turn over Israeli hostages, upping the reward to $5 million for each captive, after previously suggesting Israel would pay “several million” for their recovery. Rettig Gur dives into what else the premier was setting out to accomplish. For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog.

*) G20 calls for 'comprehensive' ceasefires in Gaza, Lebanon G20 leaders called for "comprehensive" ceasefires in Israel's brutal wars on both Palestine's Gaza and Lebanon in a joint statement at a summit in Brazil. The leaders of the world's biggest economies called for a US-proposed permanent ceasefire in Palestine's Gaza in return for the release of all hostages, as well as a Lebanon ceasefire “that enables citizens to return safely to their homes on both sides of the Blue Line.” *) Amsterdam mayor backtracks on 'pogrom' remark after post-match violence Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema has backtracked on calling the November 7 clashes between Israeli fans and pro-Palestinian demonstrators a "pogrom." Speaking to Dutch broadcaster NPO, she said, "If I had known it would be weaponised this way, I wouldn't have used that word," expressing regret over its impact. The violence erupted as Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters stormed through Amsterdam, tearing down Palestinian flags and chanting inflammatory slogans. Halsema also criticised Israel's quick response to the incident, saying her administration was caught off guard by the global attention. *) Russia vetoes UNSC's Sudan move, reminds members of carte blanche to Israel Russia vetoed a United Nations Security Council draft resolution that called on Sudan's warring parties to cease hostilities immediately and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid. All other countries of the 15-member council, including China, voted in favour of the measure drafted by Britain and Sierra Leone. Russia was the sole member to vote against while the Sudanese Foreign Ministry, aligned with the main military, supported the decision. *) Ukraine marks 1,000 days of war with Russia as US backs missile use Ukraine is marking 1,000 days since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, with weary troops battling on numerous fronts and Kiev besieged by frequent drone and missile strikes. In a boost for the beleaguered country, US President Joe Biden gave the green light for US missiles to be used against targets deeper inside Russia, potentially limiting its options to launch attacks and supply the front. Biden's decision could be a "game changer" for Kiev, the country's Foreign Minister, Andrii Sybiha, said. *) UNESCO 'enhanced protection' for 34 Lebanon heritage sites Dozens of heritage sites in Lebanon were granted "provisional enhanced protection" by UNESCO, offering a higher level of legal shielding as Israel's war on the country continues. The 34 cultural properties affected "now benefit from the highest level of immunity against attack and use for military purposes", the United Nations cultural body said in a statement. UNESCO said the decision "helps send a signal to the entire international community of the urgent need to protect these sites".

*) Trump, Harris bid their final push as US election looms In the final sprint before election day, US Vice President Kamala Harris rallies Pennsylvania, while Donald Trump fires up crowds in multiple states. Harris has urged voters to recognise their power, wrapping up her day with star-studded support in Philadelphia. Trump lamented the election as "the most important political event" in US history, hoping for a historic comeback. Some 77 million have already cast early votes. *) Israel makes UNRWA ban official despite global protests Israel has notified the UN it is cancelling its agreement with UNRWA, sparking global condemnation. The decision follows an overwhelming Knesset vote to ban the agency's activities in Palestinian territories. Western allies, including the United Kingdom and France, voiced concern, while the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned of “devastating consequences” for Gaza's humanitarian crisis. *) Countries urge UNSC to stop arms sales to Israel A coalition of 54 countries and organisations has urged the UN Security Council to take swift action to halt arms transfers to Israel amid its devastating Gaza invasion. The appeal cites concerns over violations of international law and references a recent UN resolution calling for restrictions on arms that could be used in occupied Palestinian territories. *) Canada, India condemn Brampton Temple clashes amid tense ties India and Canada have condemned violence at a Hindu temple in Brampton amid rising diplomatic tensions. Social media videos showed clashes involving flagpoles and punches. The fighting followed Canada's expulsion of Indian diplomats over the killing of a Sikh separatist leader. Both Prime Ministers, Narendra Modi and Justin Trudeau, strongly denounced the violence, while local police continued their investigation. *) Women, children among 24 dead in Comoros boat tragedy At least 25 people drowned after traffickers capsized their boat near the Comoros Islands, the UN's migration agency confirmed on Monday. The tragedy, which left only five survivors, marks the third such disaster in recent months. The deadly route to the French territory of Mayotte has claimed thousands of lives since 2011, according to the International Organization of Migration.

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, they run through updates on Netanyahu's plan to cleanse Rafah, the ceasefire deal being pushed in Egypt, the UNSC's assessment of Palestinian membership, the GOP's insistence on maintaining child poverty, environmental regulation, and the legal woes of Donald Trump and Eric Adams, before diving into Biden's newest iteration of a student debt relief plan and why he insists on repeatedly falling into the same traps. Sam and Emma also discuss Trump's pivot back to states' rights on abortion, and Laura Ingraham's pivot back to defending states' rights on abortion, and watch Biden's new targeted Roe v. Wade ad, before parsing through the incredible success of the Child Tax Credit in alleviating child poverty in the US, and why the GOP (and some Democrats) are so insistent on killing it. After tackling the major climate change developments in Europe's top human rights court, Sam and Emma wrap up the free half with the killing of the nomination of the potential first Muslim judge on the Federal Bench, and the ongoing struggle against institutionalized medical racism in the US. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma expand on the EPA's recent pollution regulations, James Comer addresses AOC's allegations that he's using suspect Russian intelligence in his Biden impeachment, all because he's using suspect Russian intelligence in his Biden impeachment, and RFK Jr's Campaign Director paints a picture of an ideal Election Day for RFK – the election of Donald Trump.

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Ingrid Robeyns, humanities professor at the Utrech University in The Netherlands, to discuss her recent book Limitarianism: The Case Against Extreme Wealth. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the passage of a UNSC ceasefire resolution, Congress averting a government shutdown, the terror attack in Moscow, Mike Johnson's speakership, Congress' killing of an important internet subsidy, Donald Trump's legal woes, Mifepristone, New Jersey's senate race, and Ronna McDaniel's NBC gig, before parsing through the details of the first UNSC ceasefire resolution not vetoed by the US. Professor Ingrid Robeyns then joins, diving right into the concept of “limitarianism” as a political belief that emphasizes the central importance of limiting wealth inequality and concentration in a functioning society, with the extreme stratification seen in the West (and particularly in the US) pushing severe social and political ills with little to no moral grounding. Expanding on the former, Professor Robeyns dives into the problems that arise in the relationship between money and politics under extreme inequality, with various factors, from campaign finance to political lobbying, giving a very wealthy few immense political power, before she, Sam, and Emma explore how extreme wealth concentration can give these same individuals the freedom to dictate social programs and overtake the public sphere to the detriment of everyone else, and the environment. After briefly touching on the particular role capitalism's ills play within these issues, Ingrid walks Sam and Emma through the moral philosophical grounding of “limitarianism” as a refutation of modern society's supposed meritocracy, bringing into question the role of the individual in coming out the victor of countless natural and social lotteries. Next, Professor Robeyns tackles the role of wealth inequality in creating an inequality division between capital and labor, allowing the former to dictate the rules of the latter, and parses through what solutions are needed – particularly in terms of welfare, social and housing programs, and unionization – to rebalance that dichotomy, before wrapping up the interview looking at the importance of taking fiscal action against tax havens and unregulated free trade, and why changing the public perception on wealth is so necessary in this battle. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma discuss Bibi's response to the US not vetoing the UNSC ceasefire resolution, the state of Israel's ethnic cleansing of Gaza, AOC's direct callout of Israel's genocide, and Chuck Todd's direct callout of his NBC employers over their hiring of Ronna McDaniel. Fox News gears up against MTG and Matt Gaetz as another speakership coup attempt takes root against Mike Johnson, and Mike Lindell comes forward with evidence of – get this – voter fraud in 2020, plus, your IMs!
