    Donald Trump forever?
    Apr 2 2025
    Following Donald Trump's recent interview with NBC's Meet the Press in which the US president said "there are methods" for serving a third term, Richard and Yalda discuss whether this is a reality or a pipe dream.

    Also, continuing the theme of popular uprisings around the world, Yalda discusses claims that an illegal sonic weapon was used against protesters in Serbia and how she confronted the ambassador to the UK over its alleged use.

    As well as this week's usual World podcast, Yalda can also be found on Tortoise's News Meeting this week.

    They debate if the disruptions at Heathrow airport reveal key weaknesses in the UK’s infrastructure, if the US looking to pull out of Ukraine so it can focus on a potential war with China, and what will happen to millions of people’s genetic data now that 23andMe has declared bankruptcy?

  • Peace in Europe, War with China?

    Peace in Europe, War with China?
    Mar 5 2025
    This week Richard and Yalda sit down with Matt Pottinger, former Deputy National Security adviser to Donald Trump and one of the leading US experts on foreign affairs.

    With an insider’s knowledge of the president’s decision making, Matt lays out what he believes is the rationale behind Trump's foreign policy.

    He predicts Europe and America will eventually work in tandem and call Putin's bluff, but he warns the real danger lies in the Pacific region and a potential clash with China, a superpower he declares is "already on a war footing”.
