Peter Hartcher on the new 'axis of evil' that threatens the West

A new geopolitical order has been slowly rearranging itself, beneath our feet. Though many of us might not have been looking closely enough to notice it. It’s a new, so-called “axis of evil”, made up of China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. For the first time since the Cold War ended, these four autocracies are working together in an aggressive military partnership. In the latest instance, it’s to fight a proxy war against Ukraine. Today, international and political editor Peter Hartcher, on how a Donald Trump presidency might impact the West’s fight against this “axis of evil”. And the events in the last week that illustrate what Australia and its allies are up against.

‘A stunning development’: Kate McClymont on the arrest of Alan Jones

On the same radio station that Alan Jones wielded his extraordinary power, his arrest played out live on air. Just after 8am, during the middle of his old radio spot, investigative journalist Kate McClymont broke the news that the former broadcaster - who was the most successful and feared of his time - was in the custody of police. McClymont, whose work sparked the police investigation, revealed in our mastheads last year that the controversial broadcaster allegedly indecently assaulted, groped or inappropriately touched multiple young men. Today, Kate McClymont brings us the latest on this significant development and what happens from here. And just a warning, this episode contains descriptions of alleged sexual assault. Support is available from the National Sexual Assault, Domestic and Family Violence Counselling Service (1800RESPECT) on 1800 737 732.

The Taliban's new 'terrifying' laws

Women in Afghanistan have had their freedoms crushed by the Taliban, which has enacted rules that chip away at their basic human rights. They’ve long been banned from studying, working, going to a salon or a gym. But over the last few months, the regime has cracked down even further, by implementing a raft of new “vice and virtue” laws. Women are now forbidden from speaking or even praying in public. They’re also not allowed to show their bare faces in public, or to be heard singing or reading aloud. Even from inside their own homes. Today, Australian National University scholar Susan Hutchinson, and human rights lawyer Azadah Raz Mohammad, on what these new laws have made life like for women in Afghanistan. And the global push by countries, including Australia, to hold the Taliban to account. Read/watch/listen 'If we can't speak, why live?' - BBC meets women after new Taliban law. Malala: what’s happening to Afghan girls and women is ‘gender apartheid’, MSNBC. Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
