    UK Prime Minister apologises to parliament

    UK Prime Minister apologises to parliament

    Boris Johnson attended a drinks event at Downing Street during the Covid lockdown. Some members of his own party have called for his resignation. Is his authority completely in tatters?

    Also on the programme; Prince Andrew, faces a civil trial in the United States over allegations of sexual assault, after a New York judge rejected an attempt to have the case dismissed. And we also hear from the leader of the Democratic Party of Kazakhstan, one of the major opposition voices in that country.

    Afghanistan's looming humanitarian crisis

    Afghanistan's looming humanitarian crisis

    The freezing winter and the loss of Western support will create disaster for Afghans says Red Cross. Unemployment has soared, few can afford to feed their own families, an estimated one million children are now at risk of starvation. We have a special report from that country.

    The UK Prime Minister is accused of attending a drinks party with almost forty other guests at the height of the UK lockdown in 2020. We hear from a Conservative MP. And we mark twenty years since the opening of the prison in Guantanamo Bay and ask why it has proven so difficult to close it down?

    US and Russia hold talks amid Ukraine tensions

    The US and Russia have met in Geneva to begin the first of a series of talks over tensions in Ukraine. The US and other Western powers want to dissuade Russia from invading Ukraine. But Russia wants to discuss its demand for NATO to retreat from eastern Europe and rule out Ukraine joining the alliance. Will the talks amount to much or will there be a renewed war in Ukraine?

    Also on the program: Novak Djokovic's mother says her tennis star son has had the biggest win of his career - over the Australian immigration authorities; and Uganda's children return to school after almost two years of lockdown.

Best One I’ve Found after 2020

Love this podcast for its world news, unfortunately they still exaggerate and sugar coat the truth for North American politics. Remember, it was clear as a bell that Harris said she would NOT take the vaccine if someone they obviously hated, told them to take it. That sent the wrong message to many young Americans.
