  • Can Netanyahu Actually Deliver on Peace?
    One week on from the ceasefire deal and the commencement of the first phase of Trump’s peace plan, things look fragile. At this point, peace seems to be very much in the hands of one man: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He has a reputation as a wily political player, and the personal and political stakes for him are sky high. So, what are the calculations he’s making? Can he, and will he, deliver peace? Former speaker of the Israeli Parliament Avraham 'Avrum" Burg shares his thoughts. Plus, to find out what 'peace' actually looks like at the moment on the ground in Gaza, Hamish Macdonald and Geraldine Doogue spoke to Ahmed Kamal Junina – Linguistics professor at Al-Aqsa University, in Gaza City.Recommendations:Geraldine: Nepalese hostage's final poem to mum before Hamas death revealed, Wall Street Journal via The Australian.Hamish: Nexus, by Yuval Noah Harari.Get in touch:We'd love to hear from you!

  • From heavy metal drummer to first female PM: Meet Japan’s ‘Iron Lady’ Sanae Takaichi
    Japan has entered a new political era after the election of Sanae Takaichi who is poised to become the country’s first female prime minister. A protege of the late Shinzo Abe and a fan of Margaret Thatcher, she styles herself as Japan's 'Iron Lady' and she could be one of its most right-wing and nationalistic leaders since the Second World War. Asia editor of The Times and The Sunday Times Richard Lloyd Parry has lived in Japan and covered it for 30 years. He joins Hamish Macdonald and Geraldine Doogue to discuss what Takaichi's leadership might mean for Japan, and for Australia. Recommendations:China's middle class rides migration wave to Tokyo - AFRIn The Time Of Madness - Richard Lloyd ParryGet in touch:We'd love to hear from you!

  • 🚨🚨🚨Did Trump just orchestrate a major breakthrough in the Middle East?
    Hamas has responded to Donald Trump's 20-point peace plan for Gaza saying it is prepared to release all Israeli hostages - dead or alive. However it did not signal that it was completely prepared to lay down its arms or step away from negotiations...So is this the crucial turning point in the conflict that we've all been waiting for? What happens next from here? From the streets of Vietnam and an airport in Melbourne, Hamish and Geraldine got in touch to unpack the latest breaking developments. Get in touch:We'd love to hear from you!

  • Is Trump's obsession with the 'enemy within' tearing America apart?
    Fears that the United States might be headed towards civil war feel slightly less overblown than they did just weeks ago...With the US government shutdown, Republicans and Democrats in deadlock, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth 'unleashing' federal troops into cities like Memphis, America increasingly looks like a dangerous and divided nation. In a rare face-to-face conversation in Sydney, Geraldine Doogue sat down with veteran journalists Peter Baker (chief White House correspondent for The New York Times) and Susan Glasser (New Yorker correspondent and Lowy Institute board member) to discuss the psychology behind Donald Trump's war on 'the enemy within' and why a country like Australia should see this as a cautionary tale. Get in touch:We'd love to hear from you!
