Strained Ceasefires and Shifting Power

In this episode, we analyze the dramatic escalation of military tensions in the Strait of Hormuz as the US and Iran trade retaliatory strikes, threatening their newly signed ceasefire. We also cover the devastating aftermath of the twin earthquakes in Venezuela, where the death toll has reached 1,430. In our deep dives, we examine the contrasting global media framing of the Venezuelan disaster response and the military escalation in the Persian Gulf. Finally, we discuss underreported stories on the eighty-year celebration of the iconic Vespa scooter in Rome and the planned four-year upgrade shutdown of CERN's Large Hadron Collider.Hungry for more?
