EP 01: New World Order/ "Trump Believes He Is The King"- Avinash Paliwal

लंदन वार्ता: नई विश्व व्यवस्था  لندن وارتا: نیا عالمی نظام In the first episode, Dr. Avinash Paliwal, Reader in International Relations at SOAS, University of London, states: “Trump believes he is the king. He is trying to turn the U.S. from a democracy into an authoritarian regime.” He makes this comment while introducing the evolving face of the world order over recent decades, which has culminated in the current situation in 2026, where the world continues to struggle to define a new global order.In this 10-episode video/audio podcast series, London Vārta: New World Order, produced in London for Hindi/Urdu-speaking global audiences, we delve into the seismic shifts reshaping global politics in 2025–2026. From the latest developments in the Middle East to the fiery street agitations unsettling regimes and emerging new alliances in South Asia, and the resurgence of far-right nationalism in Europe, the London Vārta: New World Order series unravels how populist unrest is redefining global power dynamics. Later in the series, we examine the fracturing political spectrum, spotlighting the intensifying clash between right-wing and left-wing ideologies—exemplified by the massive far-right surge in the US and Europe.  Each episode delivers expert analysis, first-hand accounts and in-depth explorations of the background to each crisis. Produced by Achala Sharma and Pervaiz Alam, formerly BBC, London Vārta: New World Order offers Hindi/Urdu audiences a front-row seat to the forces driving this turbulent new era.  The video of this podcast is available on the Cineink channel on YouTube.
