In this episode, host Gavin O’Toole, a seasoned observer of global affairs, examines three stories making headlines—and digs deeper into the forces behind them.
First, we confront the spiralling humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, where starvation has now overtaken bombardment as the leading cause of death. What is driving Israel’s blockade, and are we witnessing the deliberate weaponisation of famine?
Next, we turn to growing unrest in the UK, where immigration tensions are rising amid a summer of protests, far-right mobilisation, and government anxiety over social cohesion. What’s fuelling the anger—and can it be contained?
Finally, we explore the geopolitical implications of Amazon’s decision to shutter its AI lab in Shanghai. As the US and China decouple in tech and tighten controls on artificial intelligence, what does this mean for global innovation—and for the balance of power?
