Podcasts about Zaidi

Josh and Will sit down with Dr. Syed A.H. Zaidi, a scholar of Islamic philosophy, theology, and intellectual history, for a wide-ranging conversation about his personal journey from New York political operative to academic, and what that journey reveals about faith, identity, and politics in America today. Dr. Zaidi traces his path from a politically connected Pakistani-American family in New York, through years working for prominent (and often controversial) Democratic politicians, to a late-in-life pivot toward the study of Islamic philosophy and Sufism. From there, the conversation opens into a broader discussion of what Islam actually teaches, how Sunni and Shia traditions differ, the history of Islamophobia in the U.S., the influence of Saudi-funded Wahhabism on global Islam, and how Muslim Americans navigate hot-button political issues like same-sex marriage ballot measures. The episode closes with a sober reflection on the state of American political life — and a shared hope that today's polarization is a passing phase rather than a permanent condition.Guest BioDr. Syed A.H. Zaidi is a core lecturer in Islamic Studies at Butler University, where his research focuses on Islamic Neoplatonism, Shia thought, Sufism, and the relationship between philosophy and religious revelation. He earned his PhD in Islamic Civilizations from Emory University and is currently working on books examining the Brethren of Purity and the development of Hermetic thought from late antiquity through the medieval Islamic world. He also directs the Muslim Studies Endowment at Butler University.

Iraq's new Prime Minster Ali al-Zaidi took his first foreign visit to the US, followed shortly after with a trip to Tehran. A political outsider and a surprise winner of the race to be prime minster, Ali al-Zaidi has a considerable inbox. And at the top is how to guide the country through the ongoing war between Iran and the US, its two closest allies. On top of this, al-Zaidi has launched a crackdown on corruption and his seeking to disarm the myriad of armed groups in the country. This week, we look at the new prime minster and how he came to office, his personal crusades, and the challenges he will face during this time of war. Joining us is Lahib Higel (@LahibHigel), Deputy Program Director for the Middle East and North Africa at the International Crisis Group (@CrisisGroup); and Renad Mansour (@renadmansour), Deputy Director of the Middle East and North Africa Program at Chatham House (@ChathamHouse), and the Director of the Iraq Initiative at Chatham House.

President Donald Trump welcomed the newly elected Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi to the White House on Tuesday. Trump said the United States is shifting toward economic partnerships with Iraq with a focus on oil and added that U.S. forces will leave the country by Sept. 30. The U.S. president also highlighted a major drop in inflation and attributed it to policy measures. Inflation declined to a lower-than-expected 3.5 percent, down from 4.2 percent, the Labor Department said Tuesday.The Department of Justice said its Trade Fraud Task Force reached a new milestone less than a year after its launch. Colin McDonald, the lead attorney of the National Fraud Enforcement Division, announced a $1 billion recovery from a crackdown on individuals and companies accused of violating U.S. trade and customs laws.Meta is facing a lawsuit over claims that artificial intelligence helped decide who the company would lay off. Twenty-six current and former employees say the system unfairly penalized workers who took protected leave.

Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi made his first official visit to Washington, DC, meeting President Donald Trump in the Oval Office just two months after taking office. But did the visit come too soon?In this episode, the hosts offer their initial assessment of the White House meeting and examine why Washington continues to view Iraq through the prism of Iran, as well as why an Oval Office photo opportunity is no substitute for a sustained diplomatic strategy.The discussion also covers the September 30 deadline for the disarmament of non-state armed factions and the full withdrawal of Coalition forces from Iraq, and why Zaidi's US visit could ultimately backfire at home.

Le forze militari statunitensi lasceranno l'Iraq il prossimo 30 settembre 2026, come concordato a Washington dal premier iracheno Ali al-Zaidi e dal presidente Donald Trump. Il Paese si trova al centro delle tensioni regionali legate alla crisi dello Stretto di Hormuz, cercando di bilanciare i rapporti tra Stati Uniti e Iran e puntando a massicci investimenti energetici statunitensi. Ne parliamo con Paolo Maggiolini, professore e direttore del Master in Middle Eastern Studies presso l’ASERI della Cattolica, e con Laura silvia Battaglia, giornalista, specializzata in aree di crisi e conflitti.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 14, 2026. We open with the Democratic Socialists of America's national co-chair going on record calling for the abolition of the United States Senate — and we explain why this isn't a fringe idea anymore. The DSA wants to replace the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court with a single legislative body allocated purely by population, rename it the People's Bureau, and hand it public ownership of the nation's largest corporations. We walk through what that actually means — that seven or eight major cities could effectively govern the entire country, that the constitutional protections for smaller states would vanish, and that the structure they're proposing is the same one that produced the Third Reich, the Soviet Union, and Communist China. We also note that 51% of the DSA's National Policy Committee openly identifies with communism, Marxism, or Marxist-Leninism — not according to conservative critics, but according to a report cited by the former Democratic chief counsel for the House Judiciary Committee. The Democratic Party needs to decide whether it is going to continue letting these people run under its banner. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump formally notified Congress that hostilities with Iran have resumed — opening a new 60-day window under the War Powers Act after Iran repeatedly violated the ceasefire and continued attacking civilian shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Then inflation dropped from 4.2% to 3.5% last month — the largest single-month decrease in four years — driven largely by falling gas prices during the ceasefire, with core inflation down to 2.6%. And Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett testified jointly before Congress requesting increased security funding — with Barrett revealing that six weeks ago her teenage son opened the front door to find their street filled with police cars responding to a swatting attack on their home. We also weigh in on President Trump's signature appearing on the new $100 bill as part of America's 250th anniversary commemoration — and we have a genuine disagreement about it. It's a milestone that comes once in a nation's history and deserves recognition. But putting a sitting president's name on currency in circulation is outside American tradition, starts to look like the kind of thing emperors and monarchs do, and gives his critics an easy target that's hard to defend. Our American Mama Teri Netterville makes the case that moms are still better matchmakers than any dating app ever invented — and backs it up with evidence. Three couples she personally set up are now married, including her own daughter Summer and Louisiana Tech baseball captain Phillip Matulia, whom Teri identified as the right match before her daughter was even willing to consider it. She also shares the story of Andrea Swift — Taylor's mother — who heard that Travis Kelce loves his mother, said ding ding ding, and the rest is history. Terry's conclusion: we know our children. Apps know your data. There's a difference. In our Digging Deep segment, a Fort Worth police officer threatened street preachers Richard Pankoski and David Grisham with disorderly conduct citations at a Pride parade — telling them directly that if someone is offended by their talking, that constitutes a problem warranting a citation. We explain why this is not a close constitutional question. The First Amendment does not exist to protect popular speech. It exists precisely to protect the kind of speech that offends people. The Fort Worth police chief acknowledged the officers were wrong — but we push back on his framing. They weren't wrong in the manner they addressed it. They were wrong to address it at all. Religious speech enjoys the same constitutional protection as secular speech. If marchers get to publicly celebrate what scripture calls sin, preachers get to publicly call it sin. We then turn to Zoran Mamdani's New York City — where Manhattan's average one-bedroom rent has hit an all-time high of nearly $5,500 a month and Brooklyn is setting its own records, with critics calling the housing situation DEFCON 1. We connect it directly to Mamdani's rent freeze threats, which gave every landlord in the city a powerful incentive to raise rents before the freeze could take effect, and to congestion pricing, which is now making it financially attractive to live inside Manhattan rather than commute — driving up rents from the demand side. The left created this crisis with its own policies and is now running on those same policies as the solution. For our Bright Spot, President Trump and Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi announced that U.S. troops will be out of Iraq by September 30th — ending a 23-year military presence that peaked at 170,000 troops and is now down to roughly 2,000. We also cover Iraq signing new oil deals with Chevron and other American companies to build pipelines running from Iraq through Turkey to Europe — bypassing the Strait of Hormuz entirely — which would permanently reduce Iranian leverage over global energy markets. And we close with 28-year-old Rishi Sharma, who at 18 became curious about World War II, interviewed one veteran, then another, then another, until curiosity became an obsession — and he has now spent every single day of the last ten years interviewing veterans of the Greatest Generation, preserving 3,000 firsthand accounts of American history on hard drives and SD cards before those voices are gone forever.

Amerikaanse president Donald Trump het sy dreigement van 'n 20 persent fooi op alle Straat van Hormuz-vragverskeping omgekeer.

Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan are set to testify on Tuesday on the proposed $228 million 2027 budget. The nation's highest court is seeking a total of $228.4 million for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, a $20.6 million increase over the current year.President Donald Trump on Tuesday welcomed Iraq's new prime minister to the White House. Ali al-Zaidi, a businessman with no political background, emerged as a consensus candidate in Iraq after months of deadlock over the premiership following last year's parliamentary elections. The issue of Iran is likely to loom large in the discussions. Iraq has been under pressure to disarm a network of Iran-backed militias operating in the country, some of which launched attacks on U.S. bases and diplomatic facilities after the United States and Israel launched a war against Iran in February.

As today's show begins, President Trump is hosting Iraqi Prime Minister al-Zaidi in the Oval Office, praising his guest for how much he's done in a short period of timing. But that meeting is sure to be overshadowed by Trump's announcement just a short time ago that he's stepping back from his threat to levy tolls on ships coming through the Strait of Hormuz.    Learn more about your ad choices.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina na leo tunakwenda Afrika Mashariki hususan nchini Tanzania katika visiwa vya Zanzibar. Tunamulika jinsi serikali ya Zanzibar kwa ushirikiano na shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Mpango wa Maendeleo nchini humo, UNDP wanaboresha huduma za utalii kwa kutumia Akili Mnemba au AI. Ripoti mpya ya Umoja wa Mataifa imeonya kuwa kupunguzwa kwa misaada rasmi ya maendeleo tangu Januari 2025 kumesababisha takribani wanawake na wasichana milioni moja duniani kupoteza huduma muhimu katika nchi zilizoathiriwa na migogoro. Ikitolewa leo Geneva, Uswisi na New York, Marekani na shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa linaloshughulikia masuala ya wanawake, UN Women, ripoti hiyo iliyopatiwa jina ‘Zaidi ya Kiwango cha Kuvumilika' miongoni mwa changamoto ilizozitaja ni pamoja na kuwa asilimia 84 ya mashirika ya wanawake yameripoti kuongezeka kwa mahitaji ya huduma, lakini takribani asilimia 90 ya mahitaji hayawezi tena kuyakidhi na kwamba mashirika mawili kati ya matano yanatarajia kufungwa ndani ya mwaka mmoja kutokana na ukosefu wa fedha.Huko Sudan, nchi inayoumia kwa vita kwa miaka minne sasa, kumetangazwa mlipuko mpya wa ugonjwa wa kipindupindu hali inayozidisha wasiwasi kuhusu usalama wa jamii zilizo hatarini, hususan katika mji wa El-Obeid uliozingirwa, ambako mashambulizi ya kila siku ya ndege zisizo na rubani yanaendelea kuzuia upatikanaji wa misaada ya kibinadamu. Dkt. Shible Sahbani, Mwakilishi wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya Duniani (WHO) nchini Sudan akizungumza kwa njia ya video na waandishi wa habari leo mjini Geneva, uswisi amesema, “tumerekodi zaidi ya wagonjwa 1,330 wa kipindupindu, huku watu 114 wakifariki dunia kutokana na ugonjwa huo. Hii inaonesha kiwango cha vifo miongoni mwa wagonjwa wa kipindupindu cha asilimia 13.7, ambacho ni cha juu sana. Na bila shaka, msimu wa mvua unaotarajiwa utaifanya hali kuwa mbaya zaidi.”Na utafiti wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Elimu, Sayansi na Utamaduni, UNESCO kuhusu Ufuatiliaji wa Elimu Duniani, umeonesha kuwa misaada ya kimataifa kwa sekta ya elimu imeendelea kupungua na nchi 113 duniani zinatumia fedha nyingi kulipa madeni kuliko pesa wanazoziwekeza kwenye elimu. Matokeo ya utafiti huo yamewekwa wazi leo mbele ya viongozi kutoka nchi mbalimbali wanaohudhuria Mkutano wa Mageuzi ya Elimu TES+4 unaofanyika Paris, Ufaransa ili kufuatilia utekelezaji wa maazimio ya mkutano wa kwanza wa Mageuzi ya Elimu uliofanyika mwaka 2022 na pia ili kusongesha zaidi ufikiaji wa Lengo namba 4 la Maendeleo Endelevu linalohusu Elimu Bora.Mwenyeji wako ni Feissal Kirwa, karibu!

The wave of high-profile anti-corruption arrests has sent shockwaves through Iraq. But how far are Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi and the judiciary prepared to take this campaign, and what could it mean for the country's political order?In this episode, we examine the political significance of the crackdown and consider whether the arrests could lead to a broader recalibration of Iraq's political landscape. We assess the potential implications for parliament, the balance of power among Iraq's political factions, and how it could impact the Zaidi government.

After months of deadlock following the November 2025 elections, Iraq's parliament approved a new government under Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi on May 14, 2026 — just as the country has become a battleground in the US-Israel-Iran war. Zaidi inherits a daunting brief: reviving a struggling economy, reining in armed factions, and steering Iraq through a perilous regional landscape. Dr. Renad Mansour, deputy director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme and director of the Iraq Initiative at Chatham House, joins host Alistair Taylor to discuss the war's impact on Iraq — from Iran's militia networks to the surge of attacks on the Kurdistan region — and how it's reshaping Baghdad's ties with Tehran and Washington.   Recorded on June 9, 2026.

In this episode, we assess PM Zaidi's first two weeks in office and discuss why political slogans and broad promises are no longer enough, and why Zaidi will need to articulate clear policy priorities that demonstrate his vision for Iraq and his approach to governing.The conversation also examines the importance of effective public communication in building credibility, particularly at a time of mounting economic pressure. Finally, we unpack the government's decision to undertake a comprehensive review of public contracts and what it may reveal about Zaidi's approach to corruption, accountability, and reform.

This episode examines the parliamentary session that reshuffled the country's political landscape on May 14. Ali Al-Zaidi was confirmed as prime minister, but only 14 of his 19 proposed ministers won parliamentary approval, while five nominees linked to Nouri Al-Maliki, Masoud Barzani, and Muthanna Al-Samarrai were blocked in what appears to have been a coordinated political maneuver by their rivals. The hosts break down what really happened inside parliament that day and unpack the emerging tripartite bloc between Qais Al-Khazali, Haybat Al-Halbousi, and Bafel Talabani, and trace its roots back to the December 2025 speaker vote.

Shownotes After five months of negotiations, Iraq's power brokers have agreed on a completely unknown compromise candidate for the country's new prime minister. Ali al-Zaidi, a businessman with no experience in politics or public administration, took over leadership of Iraq on May 14 as the country faces multiple emergencies. Iraq can't sell its oil because of the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and is running out of money to pay salaries. Iraqi militias, beyond the government's control, have been attacking Saudi Arabia and targets inside Iraq. And Iraq just found out that its supposed ally, the United States, has been covering up the existence of multiple Israeli bases that were operating in the Iraqi desert. Zaidi, perhaps the weakest prime minister to take office since the U.S. invasion in 2003, faces a sovereignty crisis of epic proportions from his first day in office. Sajad Jiyad, Century International's fellow in Baghdad, analyzes the many challenges for Iraq's new prime minister.

durée : 00:05:42 - La Revue de presse internationale - par : Mathieu Laurent - À peine nommé, et déjà affairé à mener de périlleuses tractations, le nouveau Premier ministre irakien a trente jours pour présenter au Parlement une équipe qui obtient une majorité de suffrages. Il faudra toute la souplesse de médiation que l'on prête à cette personnalité pour relever ce défi.

This episode delves into the nomination of Ali Al-Zaidi as prime minister on April 27th. The hosts break down the months-long negotiations within the Coordination Framework and examine who Zaidi is, a banker and business oligarch with no prior experience with public office. The hosts also discuss what his selection reveals about Iraq's democratic process and what the next 30 days of government formation could look like.

Zaidi ya wanawake na wasichana 100 wanakimbia makazi yao kila saa nchini Sudan Kusini huku kuongezeka kwa mapigano na njaa kukichochea kuongezeka kwa janga la kibinadamu, Anna Mutavati, Mkurugenzi wa Kanda ya Afrika Mashariki na Kusini mwa Afrika ya Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Masuala ya Wanawake (UN Women) ameeleza leo baada ya ziara ya siku tano nchini humo.Kupitia taarifa ya UN Women iliyosambazwa leo kwa vyombo vya habari katika mji mkuu wa Sudan Kusini Juba na katika ofisi za Umoja wa Mataifa zilizoko Geneva, Uswisi, Anna Mutavati amenukuliwa akisema, “takribani asilimia 60 ya watu 223,641  ya waliokimbia makazi yao tangu mwanzo wa mwaka huu nchini Sudan Kusini ni wanawake na wasichana, wastani wa wanawake 104 kila saa,” na akaongeza kuwa baadhi ya wanawake na wasichana “wanakula mimea ya porini ili kuishi,” huku wengine wakikaa siku kadhaa bila kula. Amefafanua zaidi kuwa sehemu kubwa ya watu waliokimbia makazi yao ni kutoka Jimbo la Jonglei, ambako takribani wanawake na wasichana 174,197 wameathiriwa na mapigano. Bi. Mutavati amesema wanawake na wasichana ni miongoni mwa waliouawa katika mashambulizi ya kulengwa, ikiwemo shambulio la Machi katika Eneo la Utawala la Ruweng lililosababisha vifo vya watu wasiopungua 169 akionya kuwa ghasia zinazidi kuongeza hatari kwa wale waliokwishakimbia makazi yao. Pia ameeleza wasiwasi kuhusu kusambaratika kwa huduma muhimu, akisema uporaji na uharibifu wa vituo vya afya umeacha wanawake bila huduma muhimu za matibabu. “Wanawake wanajifungua bila huduma yoyote ya kitabibu kwa hatari kubwa ya kupoteza maisha,” amesema. UN Women inakadiria wanawake na wasichana milioni 5 nchini Sudan Kusini wanahitaji msaada wa kibinadamu mwaka huu, wakiwemo milioni 2.5 wanaohitaji huduma zinazohusiana na ukatili wa kijinsia.Akitoa wito wa hatua za haraka, Bi. Mutavati amesema uongozi wa wanawake lazima ubaki kuwa kiini cha juhudi za amani na ametoa wito wa kuheshimiwa kwa kiwango cha asilimia 35 cha uwakilishi wa wanawake serikalini chini ya makubaliano ya amani. “Hakuna njia ya amani ya kudumu iliyothibitika zaidi kuliko uongozi wa wanawake,” amesema, huku pia akitaka ufadhili kwa mashirika yanayoongozwa na wanawake na msaada kwa kaya zinazoongozwa na wanawake. Wakati Sudan Kusini ikielekea katika uchaguzi wa mwaka huu 2026, Mkurugenzi huyo wa Kanda ya Afrika Mashariki na Kusini mwa Afrika wa UN Women ametoa wito wa kuwepo kwa mchakato wa uchaguzi unaoaminika, jumuishi na wa uwazi unaohakikisha ushiriki wa wanawake katika kila hatua. Amenukuliwa akisema, “tunatoa wito wa utekelezaji kamili na wa haraka” wa makubaliano ya amani,  na akasisitiza kuwa kulinda wanawake na wasichana na kuhakikisha wanashiriki katika uamuzi ni msingi wa kufikia amani ya kudumu.
