From GERMANY- A group of Swiss women age 65 and over won a landmark case at the EU Human Rights court- they said that the Swiss government was not taking action to protect their health from increasing heat caused by human induced climate change. At the ICJ Nicaragua has charged Germany has aided in genocide in the Gaza Strip. RDW has a weekly show called the Conflict Zone hosted by Tim Sebastian. His guest this week was Jen Egeland head of the Norwegian Refugee Council. Jen describes Rafah as the largest, most crowded refugee camp on earth. He says that the man-made famine 1.1 million people are experiencing could be overcome if Israel would stop holding up relief trucks at the borders. He says the US, Germany, and the UK need to stop providing the weapons killing the Palestinians and to pressure Israel to allow relief trucks in. He says the world sees industrial strength hypocrisy when the West deplores Russian actions in Ukraine but aids Israel in starving and destroying Gaza.
From FRANCE- EU lawmakers approved a package of reforms to their asylum policy, which generally makes it much more difficult to receive asylum and easier to deport those seeking refuge. Then Benjamin Jensen from the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington DC gives more details on how the Israeli Defense Forces employ Artificial Intelligence to determine which Palestinians to kill, and who they associate with.
From CUBA- At the UN, Palestine is moving forward in applying for recognition as a state rather than as an observer. The Ecuador police broke into the Mexican embassy to arrest the former Vice President of Ecuador who was seeking political asylum there.

"The future is a concept - it doesn't exist. There is no such thing as tomorrow. There never will be because time is always now. That's one of the things we discover when we stop talking to ourselves and stop thinking. We find there is only present, only an eternal now."

From GOING UNDERGROUND- Afshin interviewed Prof Stephen Walt, a political scientist currently serving as the Robert and Renee Belfer Professor of international relations at the Harvard Kennedy School.

From GERMANY- First, the partial legalization of cannabis came into effect this week in Germany, with a unique plan for distribution through so-called social membership clubs.

The Biden administration authorized another multi-billion dollar weapons package for Israel, including 1800 one ton bombs that are allegedly the source of the mass casualty events in Gaza.
From FRANCE- Members of the UK parliament have called for a suspension of arms sales to Israel, and the majority of the population want a ban enacted. An international press review on the murder of the food aid volunteers in Gaza and the result that charities have halted their Gaza missions.

From FRANCE- For the 7th year in a row Finland was voted the happiest country in the world, while the US dropped to 23rd, its lowest spot since the poll began. There has been strong criticism of Netanyahu in the Israeli press. Canada is to halt all arms shipments to Israel, joining Belgium, Italy, and the Netherlands- however the US supplies 69% and Germany supplies 30% of all Israeli weapon imports.
From GOING UNDERGROUND- Afshin spoke with Daniel Levy, a peace negotiator who was part of the Taba and Oslo summits, and currently serves as the president of the US/ Middle East Project. They discuss the role that the US plays in enabling the Israeli war in Palestine. Levy says that the US has global political framing for the Middle East region, with Israel and a few Arab states as allies. And that the US has a history of colonizing many parts of the world besides North America. He says America has the leverage to cease the war but it would never happen with a single phone call, but sustained actions. They discuss the possibility of a regional war beyond US/UK bombing in Yemen, how Israel has developed impunity for actions in the region, and the need to break the US and West monopoly on ending conflicts. Does the world need an effective World Court, and should the global south be included in creating worldwide order.
From GERMANY- The US government has found no evidence of brain injuries from the so-called Havana Syndrome, first alleged in Cuba in 2016. Farmers across Europe are continuing their road blockage protests against what they say is too much government overreach, environmental regulation, and forced importation of duty-free Ukrainian produce flooding their markets. A climate researcher and delegate to the climate change conferences from Stanford University describes what the world might look like in 20-30 years if we continue on our current environmental path.

"There are very few places, virtually no places obviously in the corporate media apparatus that you can tell the truth to challenge corporate tyranny and this US imperialist narrative of constant regime change all around the world. It is a very dangerous and slippery slope that we are on and I just think it is time that we take a step back and actually fund the journalists that we want to see."
