    Francesca Albanese on Israeli sexual violence against Palestinians | UpFront

    A recent New York Times article highlighted the sexual violence suffered by Palestinians at the hands of Israeli forces. But the allegations have been documented for years by human rights groups and Palestinian organisations. So why does the world only seem to pay attention when a Western news organisation does? This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese about sexual violence, Israeli impunity - and the double standards of Western attention.

    “A shame on the conscience of humanity” Spanish FM on Gaza and Lebanon | UpFront

    Spain has been one of Europe’s most vocal critics of Israel’s war on Gaza, a stance that has put the Spanish at odds with the US and some of its other allies. The Spaniards have also renewed calls for Europe to reduce its military dependence on the US by reiterating calls for a standing European Union army. So what does it mean for Madrid’s relationship with Washington - and its place among US allies? This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares about Spain’s foreign policy, its commitment to international law, and relationship with the US.

    Ex-Israeli Prime Minister challenged on Israeli war on Lebanon | UpFront

    Israel's military campaign in Lebanon has reignited a debate over civilian casualties, ceasefire violations, and the limits of self-defence. With senior Israeli officials openly discussing the annexation of southern Lebanon, and a fragile diplomatic opening between Israel and the Lebanese government under way, the stakes could not be higher. This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who led Israel during the 2006 Lebanon war, about Hezbollah, civilian deaths, and his assessment of the US-Israeli war on Iran.

    Is Israel expanding into Gaza despite ceasefire? | UpFront

    With the world focused on the war on Iran, Israel’s genocide in Gaza has slipped from the headlines. But despite a ceasefire, Israel has continued to expand its military control inside the enclave, raising fears of a more permanent occupation or even a renewed incursion. Since the 2025 ceasefire, Israeli forces have pushed beyond the so-called 'Yellow Line -  the boundary meant to separate areas under Israeli control from the rest of Gaza. So what is actually happening on the ground? How far has Israel’s presence expanded? And what does it mean for Palestinians in Gaza? This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with Ray Adams Row Farr, editor at Forensic Architecture, about how the organisation is documenting Israel’s expanding presence and what it means for Gaza.

    The rise of political violence under Trump

    After the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, has the US entered a new age of political violence? The third alleged attempted assassination of US President Donald Trump in recent years follows a series of politically motivated violent incidents last year, including the assassinations of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk and Democratic state legislator Melissa Hortman. What is causing the increase in political violence in America? And how much is the Trump administration driving the politically divisive atmosphere with violent rhetoric and lethal foreign policy? This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with Robert Pape, professor of political science at the University of Chicago and author of the upcoming book “Our Own Worst Enemies: America in the Age of Violent Populism”.

    Varoufakis on Palantir, AI warfare, and the rise of tech lordism | UpFront

    Technology firm Palantir has sparked global outrage after publishing a 22-point manifesto envisioning a future of autonomous weapons and deep integration between big tech and government. The doctrine has intensified debate about the growing power of Silicon Valley and its ties to militaries accused of war crimes. This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with economist and former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis about what Palantir's manifesto really reveals, and why Varoufakis believes big tech is peddling an ideology he compares to the racial hierarchies of Nazism and apartheid.

    Iran War debate: Will the blockade bring Tehran to its knees? | UpFront

    US President Donald Trump has indefinitely extended a ceasefire with Iran, but the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Three ships have been attacked in the past week, and Tehran shows no sign of yielding. Trump has simultaneously issued shoot-to-kill orders against small Iranian boats, while Iran's chief negotiator's adviser declared the ceasefire extension "means nothing". This week on UpFront, Redi Tlhabi speaks with journalists Samira Mohyeddin and John Fredericks about who really holds the cards in this conflict and whether the US blockade will bring the Iranian regime to its knees, or entrench a deepening deadlock.
