    Gaza author and analyst Jehad Abusalim on Trump’s 'Board of Peace'

    More than a hundred days into Gaza’s ceasefire, Israeli strikes continue, killing hundreds of Palestinians. At the same time, United States President Donald Trump’s "Board of Peace" is pushing ahead with Gaza reconstruction plans - without any Palestinians in its top leadership - raising questions about whether meaningful change is possible without the voices of those most affected. So what comes next? Will Gaza Palestinians have any real say in shaping their own future? This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks with Jehad Abusalim, policy analyst and author of Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire, on the ceasefire, the ongoing Israeli strikes, Trump’s plans for Gaza, and what lies ahead for the territory.

    ‘Untethered, uncontrolled, uncontained’ Peter Kornbluh on Trump’s Latin America policy | UpFront

    Following United States forces’ abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, a new set of questions is emerging as to how far Donald Trump is prepared to go in pushing US power abroad through direct intervention. But is this a real break with past policy - or the latest iteration of the US's longstanding interventionist power play in Latin America? And with Cuba back in the administration’s sights, will Trump push for further action in the region? This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks with Senior Analyst at the National Security Archive, Peter Kornbluh.

    ‘Reality has overtaken satire’: Katrina vanden Heuvel on Trump’s second term | UpFront

    One year into his second term, United States President Donald Trump is testing the outer limits of executive power. From the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to threats towards Iran and efforts to secure control of Greenland, the administration has plunged the US into turbulent territory. Domestically, the Trump administration is enforcing hardline immigration policies. Documented reports of expanded anti-immigration operations - along with allegations of racial profiling and detentions affecting even US citizens and legal residents - have many communities on edge. Adding to this, a shaky economy has many in the US questioning Trump’s policies as his approval ratings plummet before November's midterm elections. This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks with Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor and publisher of The Nation magazine, about Trump testing the limits of his executive power and what this could mean for the rest of his presidency.

    MeToo Founder on Epstein and sexual violence: “survivors are easy to sacrifice” | UpFront

    In 2017, a reckoning over sexual violence called “#MeToo” swept the globe. Eight years later, has the movement done enough for survivors? And what will it take for some of the world’s most powerful men accused of sexual misconduct to face consequences? This week on UpFront Marc Lamont Hill speaks to founder of the Me Too movement, Tarana Burke. The Department of Justice has released files related to the late convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein after mounting pressure led President Donald Trump to sign the Epstein Files Transparency Act last month. Trump, who himself has been accused dozens of times of sexual assault and misconduct, has already appeared in photos, emails and other documents in connection with Epstein, causing a rift in his base. Other business elites, academics, politicians and world leaders have also been named in connection to Epstein. While some have faced minor consequences, only Ghislaine Maxwell has been criminally convicted as part of Epstein’s sex trafficking of minors. Will newly released documents lead to new convictions and genuine accountability for survivors?

    Trump’s Venezuela Regime Change Campaign: ‘A Naked exercise of American imperialism | UpFront

    Is the United States orchestrating regime change in Venezuela? Could this spark an all-out war? This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks to Alan McPherson, an author and history professor at Temple University who specialises in US-Latin American relations. The US is continuing the largest military build-up in Latin America in decades and has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. US President Donald Trump has also threatened to attack Venezuela by land “very soon”, while the Pentagon continues to strike alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and Pacific. At least 87 people have been killed in what human rights groups have called extrajudicial killings and murder. The Trump administration has made clear that it wants Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro out of power, and has thrown its support behind opposition figure and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado. She supports foreign intervention and wants to privatise Venezuelan oil, leaving many to question how much the ideologies of US politicians and the interests of oil companies are driving the push for regime change inside Venezuela.

    How do the legacies of empire continue to shape politics today? In his new book, Slow Poison: Idi Amin, Yoweri Museveni, and the Making of the Ugandan State, Mahmood Mamdani examines how colonial rule shaped Uganda’s political institutions and the leaders who emerged from them. Mamdani also reflects on political change closer to home: His son, Zohran Mamdani, is poised to become the first Muslim mayor of New York City - a victory he says reveals deep generational shifts in US politics. This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks with renowned scholar Mahmood Mamdani about colonial legacies, multipolarity, and what these shifts mean for global politics today.

    Inside the Biden administration’s cover-up of the assassination of Shireen Abu Akleh | UpFront

    Did the Biden administration help cover up the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh by Israeli forces? This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks to Steve Gabavics, a colonel-turned-whistleblower who was sent by the United States Department of State to investigate Abu Akleh's killing in 2022. Gabavics found that Israel intentionally killed Abu Akleh, who was fired at 16 times while wearing a blue vest marked “press”, but the State Department labelled her killing "accidental" to avoid angering the Israeli government. Gabavics claimed that Abu Akleh is among several American citizens killed by the Israeli military for whom the US has taken no action to hold Israel accountable.
