The Limits of Power and the Instincts of Survival

In this episode, we analyze the devastating aftermath of the Venezuelan earthquakes, where the death toll has reached 1,943, and examine the dramatic conclusion of the FIFA World Cup round of 32. In our deep dives, we explore the contrasting media framing of the US Supreme Court's landmark rulings on birthright citizenship and transgender sports bans, and the conflicting diplomatic narratives surrounding the US-Iran talks in Doha. Our regional roundup covers political transitions in Peru, Spain's mass regularization drive, Iraq's intensifying anti-corruption campaign, and South Africa's anti-immigration protests. Finally, we discuss underreported stories on wild orangutans using medicinal plants to treat wounds and the European investigation into the French far-right's use of EU funds.Hungry for more?
