Ethan Pelland Takes on the World

On the 9th episode of our season, Ethan takes over most of the show to recap a very eventful week on the world stage as Haley is absent. Gideon discusses increasing COVID case numbers leading to a record daily high; Ethan recounts multiple stories including: the return to democracy in Bolivia with the presidential election, the ongoing Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, the U.S. State Department thinking about designating some prominent NGOs like Amnesty International, the U.S. signing the (anti-abortion clause containing) Geneva Consensus Declaration with some countries that have poor records on women's rights and the huge anti-police brutality protests in Nigeria sparked by the long-time brutality of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS); John talks about schools reopening amid COVID, and Alejandro briefly takes a look at Ariana Grande's career and her new single "Positions". This episode was recorded on October 23rd. The intro music is "Dedicated to the Press" by Betty Davis and the outro is "We Are Heading to the East" by springtide.
