The past 24 hours have seen a flurry of anger, denials and promises to investigate after the Pandora Papers made global headlines, where almost 12 million documents were leaked, revealing hidden wealth, tax avoidance and, in some cases, money laundering by some of the world's rich and powerful. The data was obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists in Washington DC, which has been working with more than 140 media organisations on its biggest ever global investigation. Will Fitzgibbon is one of the lead reporters on this project, he spoke to Corin Dann.

Germany's new government may not be sworn in for several weeks to come, as the two main political parties head into coalition talks. The centre-left Social Democrats has narrowly edged out the Christian Democratic Union, the party which the current chancellor Angela Merkel had hoped to be the successor. But the tight finish leaves the Green Party, which placed third, as the likely kingmaker in the formation of the next government. Correspondent Thomas Sparrow spoke to Corin Dann.

Polls have closed in Germany, in a surprising election with the Social Democrats in the lead. Now the wait is on for the final results, and a new chancellor, as Angela Merkel steps down after 16 years. It's been a neck-and-neck race. Polling has the Social Democratic Party at 25.5 per cent of the vote - just ahead of the Christian Democrat Party at 24.5 percent. Berlin correspondent Thomas Sparrow spoke to Corin Dann.

Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou arrived in home in China at the weekend - marking an end to her nearly three-year US extradition fight. This came as two Canadians held in China for more than 1000 days returned home. They were detained just days after Meng's arrest. While China has previously claimed the arrest and detention of the Canadians was not tied in any way to the proceedings against Meng, experts say this might lead to improved ties between China and the two western allies. Canada correspondent Laura McQuillan spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Iceland's new government has more women in power than men for the first time ever, as final results from the national election come in. Voters in Iceland elected 33 women to govern the country, which has been ranked the most gender-equal in the world for 12 years straight by the World Economic Forum. The current government is made up of Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir's Left-Green Movement, the conservative Independence Party and the centrist-agrarian Progressive Party. With the Left-Green Movement losing ground and having eight other parties fighting for the reins, it's unclear who will be handed the mandate to form the next government. Copenhagen's Polar Research and Policy Initiative fellow Mikkel Schøler spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Those old enough will probably remember exactly where they were when they learned of the September 11 terror attack on the World Trade Center. For New Zealanders, it was early in the morning of September 12, when two passenger planes slammed into New York's Twin Towers. Hijackers flew the first plane into the north tower at 8:46am. Seventeen minutes later, a second plane hit the south tower. A third plane flew into the Pentagon in Virginia, and a fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. The coordinated terrorist attack killed almost 3000 people. It was carried by militants from the Islamic extremist group Al Qaeda. At the time its leader Osama bin Laden was being harboured by the Taliban in Afghanistan. The attack on United States soil led to a war in Afghanistan that spanned two decades. On the morning of 9/11, US President George W Bush was at Emma B Booker Elementary school in Florida, to read with students. His Chief of Staff Andy Card was with him. Card would be the man who delivered the world-changing news to the president.

The government's response to the collapse of Afghanistan has been described in Parliament as a stain on the work this country's done there over many years. Ministers faced lengthy questioning today about why so many Afghans were not helped to escape earlier, and what's happening to those left behind. RNZ political editor Jane Patterson has more.

Afghan people living in this country are calling for extensive support for people being evacuated out of Kabul once they arrive in New Zealand. Time is running out as the Taliban are insisting all foreign forces must be out of the country by Tuesday. Two groups of people with New Zealand connections have so far be taken out of the country. Andrew McRae reports.

The government has agreed to help New Zealanders and their families evacuate from Afghanistan, as well as at-risk Afghan nationals who had worked with NZ personnel. The government has agreed to help New Zealanders and their families evacuate from Afghanistan, as well as at-risk Afghan nationals who had worked with NZ personnel. The country has fallen quickly under Taliban control since the US' evacuation of the Bagram airbase at the beginning of July.

Is Australia's climate stance an outlier in the court of global opinion or is the whole world still heavily addicted to fossil fuels?; and can nuclear energy help us reach net emission goals faster than other approaches?

Not all heroes wear capes - and not all superheroes come from the USA. In Latin America, some real-life icons wear Mexican wrestling masks or arm themselves with shields and herbicide to lead demonstrations and strong-arm government officials into protecting the people. These are regular people from Mexico, Argentina and Colombia who complete with costumes, and masks which also help to protect from Covid-19, galvanize their communities to defend themselves against everything from police brutality to corporate greed. Professor of Hispanic Studies at Virginia Tech, Vinodh Venkatesh has been studying this trend. He spoke to Kim Hill.

Samoa's caretaker administration and its leader have been accused of an unprecedented attack on the rule of law. The Human Rights Protection Party have questioned the competency of the Chief Justice, as a lengthly case for who takes the country's leadership unfolds. Matai from Savaii's important maritime port village of Salelologa have called on the caretaker government to honour the new FAST party government, and move on. Victoria University senior lecturer Dr Iati Iati spoke to Kim Hill.

Former US President George W Bush has spoken out about his fears over US troops withdawing from Afganistan - warning of "unbelievably bad" consequences. His administration launched the US military invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001. Washington DC correspondent Simon Marks spoke to Kim Hill.

Texas Democrats have left the US state en masse in an effort to prevent Republicans there from passing a law to tighten voting rules. Fifty House Democrats boarded two private jets to Washington yesterday. It comes days into a special legislative session in Texas in which Republicans are advancing measures that would make it harder to vote, by imposing new identification requirements on mail-in ballots, banning 24-hour and drive-thru voting, and empowering partisan poll watchers. Washington correspondent Simon Marks is following the developments.

In South Africa at least 45 people have now died in the violence that has been engulfing parts of the nation since the jailing of former President Jacob Zuma last week. This toll includes ten people who died in a stampede during looting at a shopping mall in Soweto, the country's biggest township. Officials have accused some groups of taking advantage of the anger over former president Jacob Zuma's imprisonment to commit criminal acts. Others have attributed the riots t anger over unemployment and poverty. Cape Town correspondent Mark Roughton spoke to Corin Dann.

Die G-20-Staaten unterstützen das Vorhaben, weltweit die Steuern für Grossunternehmen anzupassen. Neu sollen die grössten Konzerne überall auf der Welt eine Mindeststeuer bezahlen – und auch in den Ländern besteuert werden können, in denen sie ihren Umsatz machen. Was bedeutet die Steuerreform für die Schweiz, die als beliebter Sitz von internationalen Grossfirmen bekannt ist? Kann sie ihre Attraktivität trotz tendenziell höheren Steuersätzen behalten? Oder verliert sie nun ihren grössten Trumpf als Firmenstandort? Antworten von Wirtschaftsredaktor Markus Diem Meier im Gespräch mit Mirja Gabathuler.

Former president of South Africa, Jacob Zuma is facing a 15 month sentence for contempt - ordered by the Constitutional Court for refusing to face questions at an anti-corruption commission looking into allegations of corruption during his tenure as president. The devisive figure faces multiple charges of fraud, racketeering and corruption. He was found to have breached the constitution for using public funds to upgrade his lavish homestead, and is the center of multiple accusations of large-scale graft during his tenure as president. Some of his supporters have been rallying outside his home despite Covid-19 restrictions, while others have said they cannot understand how anyone still supports him. Freelance journalist Linda Givetash is in Johannesburg. She spoke to Corin Dann.

In Samoa moves by the Supreme Court to solve the ongoing electoral impasse have been subverted yet again by the Head of State. In a televised address he reprimanded the court claiming it had no authority over him. He disregarded the court's call for parliament to meet by July 5th, instead calling for it to sit in a month. Dominic Godfrey is following developments.

Labour MP Louisa Wall is accusing China of harvesting organs from political prisoners among the Uyghur and Falun Gong populations in China. The MP, who is part of a global network of politicians monitoring the actions of the Chinese Commuist Party, also says her own Labour government needs to do more to counter what she calls the slave labour trade in China. Guyon Espiner has this report.

Has there ever been a time when both the government and opposition were in such turmoil at the same time? The government has lost its health secretary amidst a pandemic and the Labour leadership continues to be questioned, with at least one MP reportedly planning a challenge (though surely as the traditional stalking horse). So, we invited the man with his finger on the pulse: broadcaster, journalist, and commenter Patrick Christys to join Sputnik and help unravel the current crises faced by both parties. And, imagine the conversation between Graham Greene and Kim Philby in the 1980s; the celebrated English novelist, writer of 'Brighton Rock' and 'Our Man in Havana' meeting with Kim Philby, his former MI6 colleague, and an endlessly fascinating character who ended his days in Moscow. Ben Brown's political drama 'Splinter of Ice' does just that, exploring the reunion between the two men against the backdrop of a thawing Cold War. So, we invited the acclaimed British playwright aboard Sputnik to tell us how he went about portraying a very unlikely friendship.

The ongoing conflict in the Tigray region in Ethiopia took a turn this week after rebels recaptured the regional capital of Mekelle from government forces. The central Ethiopian government has called a "humanitarian ceasefire" in the region, but critics say that by framing the decision as a humanitarian one the government is attempting to save face. Over the last eight months, the fighting in northern Ethiopia has killed thousands of people, displaced two million and pushed 350,000 to the brink of famine. The conflict began in November when Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, a 2019 Nobel Peace Prize recipient, ordered a military offensive against regional forces in Tigray in response to an attack on a military base housing government troops. Robert Patman is a Professor of International Relations at Otago University, and an expert on the Horn of Africa. He joins the show to discuss.

Samoa's political turmoil may soon be coming to an end. The nation's Supreme Court has ruled parliament must sit within a week, giving the elected FAST party the ability to declare government and be sworn in. FAST have a majority of 26 seats, while caretaker the HRPP government has 24. Caretaker prime minister and HRPP leader Tuila'epa Sa'ilele Malielegaoi faces accusations of contempt of court for blocking the FAST party from being sworn in. The court is warning any attempt to obstruct the convening of parliament will be punished. RNZ Pacific's Dominic Godfrey spoke to Corin Dann.

Negotiators from Iran and the six nation countries have been holding talks in Vienna in an attempt to revive a deal to limit the country's nuclear programme. In 2015, Iran reached a deal with the US, Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany to allow limited nuclear activities and a relief from sanctions. However, in 2018 President Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement and resinstated tough restrictions. The Isreali government - who has historically opposed any nuclear programme in Iran - is calling on the US and it's allies to wake up to the threat of Iran as a potential nuclear power. Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett says Iran's regime wants nuclear weapons - a claim that the country has repeatedly denied. BBC correspondent Bethany Bell spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Bernard joins Kathryn to talk about the free trade deal announced between Australia and the United Kingdom, with 99 percent of Aussie goods able to enter the UK duty free once the deal comes into force next year. The deal was agreed while Scott Morrison was at the G7, where he was denied a one-on-one meeting with US President Joe Biden - was that a consequence of his support for Donald Trump and his climate denialism? And a Tamil family locked away on Christmas Island and under threat of deportation have been reunited at a Perth hospital where the youngest child is receiving treatment.

Officials say Biden is working intensely to prepare for the talks with Putin. Correspondent Collette Devlin spoke to Susie Ferguson.

In Jerusalem thousands of right-wing nationalists are taking part in a contentious march - despite warnings that allowing it could renew conflict. The event risks reigniting tensions with Palestinians, and has created an early challenge for the new Israel Government formed on Sunday. The contentious annual "Flag March", which celebrates the Israel's 1967 occupation of the city's eastern part, was delayed last month. About 2000 extra police have been deployed in East Jerusalem ahead of the event. CBS News correspondent in Israel Robert Berger spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Members of New Zealand's Muslim community say they will return to the final day of the anti-terrorism hui in Christchurch, despite yesterday's walkout.

The country's first hui on Countering Terrorism and Violent Extremism is discussing how to mitigate the terrorism risk in New Zealand. Eleisha Foon was there.

What does it mean to be resilient in a societal or in an international context? Where does resilience come from? From which discipline was it 'imported' into international relations? If a particular government employs the meaning of resilience to its own benefit, should scholars reject the analytical purchase of the concept of resilience as a whole? Does a government have the monopoly of understanding how resilience is defined and applied? Philippe Bourbeau's book On Resilience: Genealogy, Logics, and World Politics (Cambridge UP, 2021) addresses these questions. Even though resilience in global politics is not new, a major shift is currently happening in how we understand and apply resilience in world politics. Resilience is indeed increasingly theorized, rather than simply employed as a noun; it has left the realm of vocabulary and entered the terrain of concept. This book demonstrates the multiple origins of resilience, traces the diverse expressions of resilience in IR to various historical markers, and propose a theory of resilience in world politics.
