**Video Episode here**For Bangladesh/UK, go to 12:30Hi Everyone! Welcome back to International Intrigue's newest show: John&Jacob! Every week, Intrigue CEO and Former Australian Diplomat John Fowler and Cognitive Investments Director of Geopolitical Analysis Jacob Shapiro bring you fresh, egoless analysis of the world's most pressing stories.This week we saw two similar situations of unrest: in Bangladesh, student-led protests ousted the longtime Prime Minister Sheik Hasina, forcing her out of the country while new leader Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus attempts to work with the military and protestors to establish reforms. Meanwhile, a few days of anti-immigration protests in UK following the murder of three girls by a 17-year old falsely accused of being an immigrant caused widespread destruction and eventually roused tens of thousands of counter-protestors.We also cover the latest updates in the Russia/Ukraine War and the historic prisoner swap that freed WSJ journalist Evan Gershkovich and former Marine Paul Whelan, among others.Lastly, we try our newest segment: "The Most Important Story Nobody Cares About" where we tackle a story that didn't make headlines and tell you why it matters.Chapters:0:00-1:43 Intro1:43-9:30 Ukraine Ground Assault and Russia's Historic Prisoner Swap9:30-12:30 Sheik Hasina Flees Bangladesh Amid Protests12:30-17:44 What Bangladesh Tells Us About Global Pressures17:44-25:15 Geopolitical Strategy on How to Handle Global Migration25:15-31:19 The Most Important Story Nobody Cares AboutSubscribe to International Intrigue, the free 5-minute global news briefing: https://www.internationalintrigue.io/ Hosted on Acast.
