Released Israeli hostage Keith Siegel: I pray for peace

I pray for peace. Nick Beake speaks to released Israeli hostage Keith Siegel about his experience of captivity in Gaza, of the suffering he says he witnessed at the hands of Hamas and the moment he was released. Mr. Siegel, an American-Israeli, was captured by Hamas fighters in the October 2023 attack that marked the start of the conflict in Gaza. He was one of 251 hostages taken that day, in an assault that killed around 1,200 other people who were mainly civilians. Mr Siegel was released in February after nearly 500 days. His mother passed away while he was still in captivity. You’re going to hear his accounts about his time as a hostage. Some listeners may find his descriptions disturbing. He talks about desperate living conditions in Gaza, as well as extreme levels of violence to which he says he and other hostages were subjected. Hamas has said it doesn't abuse anyone in captivity. Mr. Siegel is calling for all 50 remaining hostages to be freed - up to 20 of them are still believed to be alive. Talks on a ceasefire proposal that would include a hostage release deal are ongoing between Israel and Hamas. The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to Hamas's 7 October 2023 attacks. More than 57,000 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.

Mike Huckabee, US Ambassador to Israel: ‘Hamas isn't interested in ending the war’

James Coomarasamy, presenter of the BBC’s Newshour and The World Tonight, speaks to Mike Huckabee, US Ambassador to Israel. Confirmed in the post two months ago, Mr Huckabee is the former Republican Governor of Arkansas and two-time Republican presidential nominee. He’s an Evangelical Christian, who has backed the presence of Jewish settlements in the Palestinian territories, which are considered illegal under international law - although Israel rejects this. Some opposition politicians in the US have been critical of his appointment and previous statements he’s made about the ongoing war in Gaza. One Democratic senator said Huckabee was "woefully unfit" for the role and accused him of engaging in "brazen denial of the existence of the Palestinian people". But during questioning by a US Senate committee, Huckabee played down some of his past statements, saying he would "carry out the president's priorities", not his, and denied backing the expulsion of Palestinians. He takes up the role amid growing international calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and pressure for more humanitarian aid to reach the territory. Despite a number of proposals put forward by the international community, there does not yet appear to be a realistic prospect of an end to the conflict.

Bill Gates: The importance of aid and philanthropy

Waihiga Mwaura, presenter of the BBC’s Focus on Africa programme, speaks to Microsoft co-founder and global philanthropist, Bill Gates. Mr. Gates, who is 69 years old, announced last month that he plans to give away 99% of his vast fortune over the next 20 years, predominately through his Gates Foundation. The foundation has already given over 100 billion dollars since being established 25 years ago. He built his vast personal wealth through the software giant Microsoft, which he co-founded back in 1975. Mr. Gates has gradually stepped back from the company in recent decades, first resigning as its chief executive in 2000 and then later as its chairman in 2014. This has allowed him to turn his attention to global philanthropy, with a particular focus on health initiatives in lower-income countries. But Mr. Gates fears this work could be at risk as wealthier countries cut back on their own international aid commitments.

Carsten Breuer, the German chief of defence: Nato faces "very serious threat" from Russia

Frank Gardner, BBC Security Correspondent, speaks to Carsten Breuer, the German chief of defence. General Carsten Breuer gives his assessment of the threat that Russia poses to the Western alliance Nato. He says that Russia is building up its forces to an "enormous extent" and says that members of the alliance need to prepare for a possible attack from Russia within the next four years, according to assessments from defence analysts. He cites recent attacks on undersea cables in the Baltic Sea, and unidentified drones spotted over German power stations and other infrastructure, as possible evidence that Russia is continuously looking for weaknesses in the defence capabilities of Western countries. Russia has denied involvement in these incidents. General Breuer argues that Nato members should build up their militaries, and that European nations should consider security a baseline for prosperity and development.

Как экономисты помогают выигрывать в футбол

Перед чемпионатом мира в Катаре «Экономика на слух» решила поговорить о футболе. Ведь это не только страсть, эмоции, зрелище, радость от победы любимой команды и горечь от ее поражения. Это еще и деньги, а порой большие деньги. Выпускники РЭШ проректор ВШЭ Дмитрий Дагаев и аспирант Чикагского университета Игорь Карпов рассказывают, чем экономистам интересен футбол, обсуждают плюсы и минусы финансового фейр-плей (от англ. fair play - честная игра) и подход героя биографического фильма «Человек, который изменил все». Что лучше: подбирать состав с помощью искусственного интеллекта или «по чуйке»? А еще они дают уроки, вынесенные из исследований Лаборатории спорта НИУ ВШЭ, которую возглавляет Дмитрий: как составить календарь Премьер-лиги или выбрать судью матча. Экономическая теория, технологии и большие данные прочно вошли в футбол и играют все более значимую роль, но они не всесильны: место случайности все еще есть и будет всегда. P. S. У редакции портала GURU, просветительского проекта РЭШ, есть подарок для вас: всем новым подписчикам рассылки РЭШ она дарит карту профессий – подробное описание 20 специальностей в самых востребованных сферах на основе опыта выпускников РЭШ.

Tom Fletcher, UN Humanitarian Chief: Is the world doing enough to get aid into Gaza?

Tom Fletcher, Chief of Humanitarian Affairs for the United Nations, tells Fergal Keane, the BBC’s special correspondent, that Israel is subjecting Gaza to enforced starvation. Gaza faced an aid blockade of nearly three months - now, limited supplies of food, medicine and fuel are being allowed into the territory. But Israel argues Hamas is stealing food aid. Mr Fletcher has drawn criticism himself for some of the claims he has made about the impact of the blockade, which were retracted by the UN. Now, he says he regrets his choice of words. Israel’s military campaign began in October 2023 following a cross-border attack by Hamas which killed around 1,200 people, and saw 251 taken hostage. More than 54,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the war began, according to the Hamas-run health ministry The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

Surviving Syria’s sectarian violence

Tim Franks speaks to a British-Syrian Alawite who came under attack, along with her family, during the sectarian violence on Syria’s coast in March. The Alawite sect is an offshoot of Shia Islam and its followers make up around 10 per cent of Syria's population, which is majority Sunni. The recent violence came after fighters loyal to the country's overthrown former president, Bashar al-Assad, who is an Alawite himself, led deadly raids on the new government’s security forces. Those attacks resurrected deep-seated anger over Assad’s repressive dictatorship, with Alawite civilians seen by some as complicit in the crimes of his regime - and as part of the insurgency that followed his fall. The new Sunni Islamist-led government had called for support from various military units and militia groups to respond to the attacks on its security forces – which then escalated into a wave of sectarian anger aimed at Alawite civilians. Human rights groups estimate that around 900 civilians, mainly Alawites, were killed by pro-government forces across Syria's coastal region in early March.

Колониализм: какое экономическое наследие он оставил

Новый выпуск «Экономики на слух» – про колониализм. Одним народам он принес богатство, другим – страдания. Одним державам захваченные ресурсы помогли достичь процветания, для других они стали проклятием. О том, какой след оставил колониализм и как продолжает влиять на современность, рассказывает Артем Липин, выпускник Совместного бакалавриата ВШЭ и РЭШ и аспирант Школы менеджмента Келлога при Северо-Западном университете. Какую роль захват колоний сыграл в становлении капитализма и развитии метрополий? Почему одни бывшие колонии богатые, а другие – бедные? Что определило пути их развития? Мы рассматриваем разные каналы влияния колониализма и много говорим о наследии рабства. Как оно сказалось на Африке? В какой мере способствовало промышленной революции в Великобритании? В подкасте обсуждается много исследований – часто с неожиданными выводами. Таймкоды: 2.32 – Африка и США, Испания и Великобритания – какие факторы определили разные пути развития колоний и метрополий 4.17 – Влияние колониального прошлого на метрополии можно описать фразой из Евангелия от Матфея: «Всякому имеющему дастся и приумножится, а у неимеющего отнимется и то, что имеет» 5.04 – Версия институционалистов – почему колонизация по-разному сказалась на европейских империях 8.58 – Как Испания, по признанию местного чиновника, стала посмешищем для всей Европы 11.39 – Карл Маркс: колонизация предоставила первоначальный капитал для промышленной революции. А что говорят об этом современные исследования? 12.33 – Картошка всему голова? 13.33 – Призыв политиков искать хорошее в трагедии колониализма 14.35 – Может, колонии играли большую роль в расцвете Британии, чем считалось? 16.30 – Революция потребления и революция трудолюбия: как они связаны с колониями и рабовладением 18.19 – Как рабовладение и работорговля обогащали Британию 21.18 – Насколько сегодня ощущается влияние колониального прошлого в бывших колониях 22.21 – Два препятствия для изучения экономических последствий колониализма 24.21 – Кому-то достались кочевые, кому-то оседлые бандиты 26.00 – Превратности судьбы: почему богатые стали бедными, а бедные – богатыми 27.43 – Проклятие дешевого труда 29.33 – Как работорговля подорвала долгосрочное развитие Африки 30.56 – Горы защитили от охотников за рабами. Что это значило для долгосрочного развития? 32.53 – Работорговля – одна из причин большого числа войн и конфликтов в Африке 33.37 – И различных демографических проблем 34.37 – Гендерный дисбаланс повысил роль женщин в экономике 36.01 – Почему в Африке такие странные границы государств 37.31 – Раздел Африки на Берлинской конференции 1884 г. – еще одна причина войн на континенте сегодня 38.46 – Что можно сказать о некоторых республиках в составе СССР 42.24 – Можно ли найти непреднамеренные позитивные последствия институтов колониализма 45.54 – Дороги Римской империи и железные дороги, проложенные британскими захватчиками в Индии – примеры наследия колонизаторов 48.56 – Что оставили голландцы на Яве 50.57 – И что покажет сравнение регионов Индии – тех, которые были под властью Британии, и тех, которые оставались независимыми 52.31 – Миссионерство позитивно сказалось на развитии колоний 54.34 – Как оно связано с уровнем демократии сегодня 17-й сезон подкаста выходит при поддержке группы компаний «Норникель»
