  • Turkey on trial: Can courts control a nation?

    Turkey on trial: Can courts control a nation?

    Political analysts and human rights organisations say Turkey's courts are increasingly being used to silence political dissent and to shape a more socially conservative society. The most prominent defendant is Ekrem İmamoğlu, the mayor of Istanbul, and the opposition figure opinion polls suggest is most likely to beat President Erdoğan at the ballot box. İmamoğlu has been held in Silivri prison since March 2025 and now stands trial alongside more than 400 co-defendants in a sprawling corruption case. Other elected mayors have been removed from office and replaced by government appointees. Emily Wither speaks to a former judge punished for criticising the changes to Turkey's judiciary, mayors held for months without conviction, court reporters accused of spreading "disinformation," and performers prosecuted for what they said on stage.

    He Tried to Kill His Dad. Now He Fights Radical Islamists | David Wood

    David Wood tried to kill his dad - but what he thought it would achieve is even more disturbing… Known for his Islam debates on https://www.youtube.com/@apologeticsroadshow, Dr David Wood joins Andrew Gold on Heretics to discuss the life behind his public reputation: attempted murder, prison, manipulation, Christianity and radical Islamism. “You’re all puppets.” How do you make someone follow your plan while believing it was their own idea? Wood explains his former worldview, his antisocial personality disorder, and an uncomfortable question: can someone change their behaviour without ever feeling guilt? Andrew challenges him on Christianity, evolution and belief in God. Then the conversation turns to his friendship with Nabeel Qureshi, the death threat Wood says followed Nabeel’s conversion, and the risks of leaving Islam. Wood also sets out his “three stages of jihad” argument. Why does he think Western leaders and journalists are failing to understand radical Islamism—and does he see Britain and Europe as a warning for America? Where do you agree with David - and where would you challenge him? Tell us in the comments, and subscribe to Heretics for more interviews with Andrew Gold. Chapters: 00:00 Why did David Wood try to kill his dad? 03:31 What happens when you don’t feel what others feel? 08:55 “You’re all puppets”—where does that lead? 14:37 Why choose his own father? 18:21 His father survived—but what did he remember? 23:08 Can you change without feeling guilt? 27:16 Could psychopathy ever be an advantage? 30:40 How do manipulators keep you hooked? 35:18 What if your “idea” was planted? 39:36 His best friend died. His first thought? 43:08 What finally made him cry? 46:23 The Christian he couldn’t beat… 51:22 He read the Bible to win. What changed? 56:28 Why doesn’t God make himself obvious? 1:01:49 Could he explain away the resurrection? 1:07:00 Why did he turn to debating Islam? 1:10:39 Leaving Islam: what could it cost? 1:14:17 Why are some ex-Muslims staying silent? 1:17:39 The “three stages of jihad”—what comes next? #DavidWood #Heretics #AndrewGold #IslamDebate #Psychopathy #Christianity Learn more about your ad choices.
