Why the Russian-Ukraine war is at a critical juncture

It’s been nearly one thousand days since Russia launched the attack on Ukraine, which shocked the world, and marked the biggest land invasion in Europe since World War II. Over the weekend, two new developments have dramatically altered the nature of this conflict. Ukraine attacked Moscow, and other Russian regions, in its biggest drone attack yet. And 50,000 Russian and North Korean troops have amassed ahead of an expected assault. Today, Deputy Foreign Editor Lia Timson, on the significance of North Korea joining this fight. And what impact this might have on American support for Ukraine. Read/listen/watch: 50,000 Russian and North Korean troops mass ahead of attack, US intel, Julia E. Barnes, Eric Schmidtt and Michael Schwirtz, New York Times. Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bob Woodward is wrong. American democracy is crumbling

We’ve all heard a lot about how Donald Trump won the presidential election, which voters he managed to draw in, and where. But what about the big picture, and the long game? What does Trump’s victory say about how safe America’s democracy is? And what, in turn, this might mean for the safety of the rest of us around the globe? International and political editor Peter Hartcher has been covering politics for more than 40 years, and reported from Washington for four years of those, covering George W Bush’s presidency. Today, Hartcher discusses what Washington insiders, including a renowned political scientist and the journalist who broke the Watergate scandal, have told him about all of this, and more. Read/listen/watch: 'If George Washington was the father of America’s democracy, Donald Trump is its undertaker', Peter Hartcher, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald. 'Don't give up on American democracy' after Trump's re-election, says Bob Woodward, ABC's 7.30 with Sarah Ferguson.

Bonus episode: Why women voted for Trump

Donald Trump’s supporters don’t always get the facts right, when they big-note him. But the day after the election, they were right on the money. As vice-president elect JD Vance put it, we really did just witness one of the greatest political comebacks in the history of the United States. But what’s behind the stunning reversals that underpinned his win? Today, North America correspondent Farrah Tomazin, on why women flocked to Trump, when they were expected to lead Kamala Harris to victory, over the issue of abortion rights. And why Donald Trump now has a voting base so broad, that it’s even stunned many Republicans.

What went right for Trump, and so wrong for Harris

Donald Trump has called it and it looks like he will take the American presidency for a second time. It would be a dramatic victory, one reminiscent of his stunning 2016 win over Hillary Clinton. And Trump, impeached twice by the US House of Representatives, would make history as the first convicted felon to serve as president. So what went wrong for Kamala Harris, and what went so right for Donald Trump? Today, digital foreign editor Chris Zappone, on how the election played out and the cultural realities behind the result.
