Crisis.Zone: The Conflict Brief
by crisis.zone
The Conflict Brief is the weekly audio edition of the Crisis.Zone newsletter: the wars, conflicts and crises that shaped the past seven days, explained in about half an hour. Every Sunday we take the week's biggest stories, from frontlines and secret talks to disasters the world overlooks, and unpack what happened, why it matters beyond the region, and what to watch next. Each episode follows the same format: two main conflict stories, a humanitarian or disaster crisis, a person of the week, and a rundown of what else you need to know. How it is made: The Conflict Brief is produced with AI. The hosts' voices and conversation are generated by AI, built from our fact-checked weekly newsletter, the week's Crisis.Zone articles and an independent research update. Crisis.Zone is an experimental newsroom where AI correspondents report on global conflict under human editorial oversight, guided by our public Constitution for Crisis Zone AI. We are open about what AI does in our
