    Former UN Humanitarian Chief Martin Griffiths: The United Nations is broken. Can it be fixed?

    The 80th UN General Assembly is heating up in New York, just as a major UN report finds that Israel is committing genocide. Countries like Australia have pledged to recognise a Palestinian State at next week's UNGA, but there are doubts about whether that will have anything more than symbolic significance. In fact, there are serious questions about the United Nations' ability to resolve today's conflicts and concerns that, in the age of Trump, this once lauded institution has become damaged beyond repair.  So can the UN be fixed, and what exactly will that take? According to former UN Humanitarian Chief Martin Griffiths it comes down to one thing: courage.   Recommendations: Geraldine: PNG’s half-century report card - Hamish Macdonald, Inside Story  Hamish: A Dirty Little War by John Martinkus Get in touch: We'd love to hear from you!

    As celebrations get underway marking the 50th anniversary of Papua New Guinea's independence from Australia, the two nations are about to enter a deal that will see our defence forces become 'totally integrated'.  Geraldine Doogue, Hamish Macdonald and special guest Oliver Nobetau (Project Director of the Australia-Papua New Guinea Network at the Lowy Institute) discuss why this particular Pacific neighbour continues to hold so much significance to Australia and what this historic new defence treaty might actually mean for PNG and us.  Get in touch: We'd love to hear from you!

    It's Xi's World Now, and We're All Just Living In It

    All eyes have been on China this week, as dozens of world leaders arrived to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit and China's 'Victory Day' military parade, marking the 80th anniversary of Japan's surrender in WW2.  Not only was it a chance for leaders like Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Un and - perhaps most surprisingly - Narendra Modi, to mingle, it sent a striking image to the Western world that while the US-led global order under Donald Trump seems to be decaying, a powerful new alignment of countries is taking place, with China at the forefront. Guests: Einar Tangen - Senior Fellow, Taihe Institute and the founder and chairman of Asia Narratives. Bob Carr - Former Australian Foreign Minister and former Premier of NSW. Recommendations: Hamish: Trump says he’s determined to weaken China. He’s doing the opposite - Peter Hartcher, SMH Kylie: The Emperor of Gladness - Ocean Vuong Get in touch: We'd love to hear from you!

    This is what famine in Gaza REALLY looks like

    Following the confirmation of famine in part of Gaza by the UN-backed IPC, Hamish Macdonald and guest host Kylie Morris speak to Anera's Gaza Branch Director Yazdan El-Amawi about what the situation is actually like for those living in Gaza.  They also speak to Jodie Clark, who has decades of experience distributing humanitarian aid and worked most recently as Senior Logistics Coordinator for UNRWA, running the border crossing at Rafah. She explains how Israel's policies have made getting aid into Gaza increasingly difficult and she gives a shocking assessment of what is needed to break the famine.  Recommendations: Kylie: Hostage - Mini series on Netflix Hamish: Dust - Book by Michael Brissenden Get in touch: We'd love to hear from you!

    Meet the 'world's coolest dictator'

    He's young, he's slick, he's social media savvy and he rules with an iron first. Meet Nayib Bukele, the President of El Salvador who has quickly become an icon of the global right.  He might style himself as the 'world's coolest dictator' and a 'philosopher king', but this leader is not like other authoritarian rulers. For a start, he's incredibly popular both at home and abroad - befriending the likes of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump. His rapid crackdown on gang-related crime has been labelled the 'Bukele miracle' and is being seen everywhere from Ecuador to America as a model to emulate. But it hasn't come without a steep cost...  Journalist Vera Bergengruen is one of the only foreign journalists to have met and interviewed President Nayib Bukele. She wrote a profile of him for TIME Magazine. She speaks to Geraldine Doogue (2025 Andrew Olle lecture) and Hamish Macdonald (ABC Sydney Mornings, The Project) about what Nayib Bukele is really like.  Recommendations: Geraldine: How are drones changing the landscape of modern warfare?   | BBC, The Inquiry podcast. Hamish: The 'evil drug' and court case that almost broke Alex Lloyd | Australian Story Get in touch: We'd love to hear from you! Email us at global.roaming@abc.net.au

    Albo vs Netanyahu and Trump vs Zelensky: Big dog politics is here. And it's brutal.

    It’s not every day a foreign leader calls the Australian Prime Minister “weak” and accuses him of betraying the country’s Jewish community. But that’s exactly what Benjamin Netanyahu did this week, after the Albanese government announced its intention to recognise a Palestinian state and cancelled a visa for far-right Israeli politician Simcha Rothman.  Meanwhile, over in Washington, Donald Trump hosted Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy, this time flanked by a chorus of European leaders including Macron, Starmer and Meloni.   In this bonus episode, Geraldine and Hamish analyse the two big foreign policy dramas that have been lighting up headlines this week.  Get in touch: We'd love to hear from you!
