      <itunes:summary>The expulsion of Iran from the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is one of many ways in which the international community is condemning the Islamic Republic of Iran for its treatment of women, especially in the wake of the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody and the popular protest movement that arose in response. The revolutionary movement demanding regime change in Iran continues despite violent crackdowns and executions.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Audio Article #96: Interview with H.E. Ambassador Salah Abdel Shafi, Ambassador of Palestine to Austria, Slovenia and Croatia</title>
      <description><![CDATA[H.E. Ambassador Salah Abdel Shafi, Ambassador of Palestine to Austria, Slovenia and Croatia, gave iGlobenews an exclusive one-hour interview. He discussed the situation in Gaza, the future of Palestine, the ongoing war, the possibility of peace and the real danger of escalation. He stressed the dire humanitarian situation facing the Palestinians in Gaza. He raised key questions such as: will the West commit to international law, or will Israel’s western allies continue to shield it from prosecution by the ICJ and ICC? International law and international humanitarian law (IHL) is not a menu one can choose from--it applies to everyone or no one. Only a two-state solution backed by the UN and all UNSC permanent members can guarantee a lasting peace in the Middle East.

Professor Mearsheimer is the co-author of the 2007 book “The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy”, which demonstrated the extraordinary power of this lobby on US politics.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>The unique properties of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals, commonly known as PFAS, has led to their use in thousands of household products since the 1940s. However, they are not only hazardous to health, causing cancer, birth defects and schizophrenia, they are extremely difficult to remove from the environment. Two giants of the chemical industry, 3M and DuPont, have been shown to have known about the dangers for decades, and to have actively sought to prevent this becoming public knowledge. Despite several settlements involving millions of dollars, neither company has admitted liability, nor held responsible for eradicating PFAS from the environment. Two landmark cases may change this.

The refugee crisis of Myanmar and Bangladesh continues and the miserable plight of the Rohingya people, who are deprived of their basic human rights, citizenship, and freedoms, remains unsolved. With elections in Bangladesh approaching in January 2024, the Rohingya refugee question remains a top priority for any new government. Will the Rohingya, living in the world’s largest refugee camp in Bangladesh, ever be able to voluntarily repatriate to their homelands, or have the conditions to return become so dangerous, that the stateless Rohingya will choose survival over an uncertain future in Myanmar?

      <itunes:summary>In May 2022, Lebanon held parliamentary elections for the first time since the 2019 political revolution and the 2020 Beirut blast. Lebanon now faces a political corruption crisis and economic depression caused by its ruling elite. Based on the new parliament’s re-election of the same Speaker of the Parliament on 31 May 2022, it is unlikely that change will take place in Lebanon’s dire situation that requires an IMF bailout.</itunes:summary>

Kissinger warns of the threat of nuclear war and offers a roadmap for peace which did not go down well with President Zelensky, who was quick to dismiss Kissinger’s proposal. Russia has not officially responded. Kissinger draws an analogy to a lost opportunity for peace during WWI in 1916 which could have saved millions of lives. He asks: “Does the world today find itself at a comparable turning point in Ukraine as winter imposes a pause on large-scale military operations there?”</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>The crisis at the southern border of the US has largely been ignored by MSM and the Biden administration until the Governors of Texas and Florida decided to fly small numbers of these immigrants to so called sanctuary cities. After Florida’s Governor DeSantis sent 48 Venezuelan migrants to the lovely island of Martha’s Vineyard off the coast of Cape Cod, the liberal woke elites have taken notice, but refused to put any migrants up in their estates – former President Barrack Obama included. After declaring a state of emergency on the island and calling in the national guard, Martha’s Vineyard deported these immigrants to a military facility on the mainland.

      <itunes:summary>Vienna’s Natural History Museum (NHM) celebrates 200 years of Austrian-Brazilian relations with an exceptional exhibition. It all started with a dynastic marriage in 1817, when Archduchess Maria Leopoldina of Austria married Dom Pedro, Duke of Braganza – the man who would become the first Emperor of Brazil. Austrian scientists and adventurers were among the first to document Brazil’s exceptional biodiversity and wildlife. The exhibit examines the transatlantic slave trade, Portuguese colonial rule and the disastrous effects on Brazil’s indigenous populations. The latest WWF 2022 Living Planet Report highlights the precarious situation especially in Latin America, which has seen a 94% decrease in wildlife compared to 1970. The NHM exhibition raises awareness and educates.  History can teach many lessons – if there is a willingness to learn.</itunes:summary>

These cities were not military targets – but populated by ordinary Japanese citizens. These bombs ultimately killed over 250 000 Japanese. Since 1945, public opinion has shifted in the US. Today a majority of Americans do not approve of President Harry Truman’s decision to drop these bombs. Experts agree that WWII was won and the war was about to end. The bomb did not contribute to the outcome of the war. This was the beginning of the nuclear arms race.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>As winter approaches, the ever-growing energy crisis brought on by the US and EU sanctions on Russia because of Ukraine besiege Europe. Sanctions on Russia have cut the supply of cheap Russian gas and raised the price of energy/electricity, which is now affecting European households and businesses. This energy crisis has highlighted the limitations of the electricity market. Many EU member states including Austria, Belgium and Italy are calling for an EU-wide intervention to halt this. The EU is now preparing to decouple the pricing of electricity from the price of gas and has recommended that member states cap the profits of energy companies and use excess profits to subsidize the rising cost of electricity.</itunes:summary>

He proposes the use of versatile small modular reactors and cooperation to set up multinational nuclear fuel cycle centers to deal with supply, safety and security issues.  SHAPE is an initiative created by Professor Hwang and other experts. In addition to the support of the Korean government the initiative received the support of President Biden during his visit to ROK in May 2022.

This film changed the perception of orcas in the West. The film singlehandedly caused the demise of marine theme parks in the US. The business model of US parks like SeaWorld had become unattractive overnight. Today a new threat to these intelligent complex marine mammals has emerged: marine theme parks in China. The demand for orca, dolphins and beluga whales is growing at an alarming rate. Animals die and are injured during the hunt. Young orcas are torn away from their mothers and pod. They are sold for many millions into a life of pain, suffering, depression and loneliness.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>The chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan and subsequent takeover by the Taliban in August 2021 has created a dire humanitarian crisis. Economic collapse and drought have “forced” Afghan families to sell their daughters for cash to pay for food for the rest of the family. Women and girls have been stripped of their rights. President Biden’s controversial decision to use half of USD 7 billion in released Afghan funds to compensate the victims of 9/11 has exacerbated the situation.

The situation in Afghanistan is quickly becoming the world’s most serious humanitarian crisis. In August 2021, the US withdrew without consulting any of its allies, leaving the country in chaos and the economy in free fall. The Taliban quickly took over. A humanitarian disaster has resulted, half of the population is starving, and the country is entering the second year of the worst drought in decades while western countries withhold aid.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>As countries are rapidly seeking to move away from fossil fuels and electrify the transportation sector, the demand for cobalt is rapidly increasing. However, the supply of this sought-after mineral presents serious moral dilemmas, making it time to acknowledge the cost of going green.

For many, the 2006 film Blood Diamond was undoubtedly the first introduction to the concept of “blood diamonds”: diamonds mined in a war zone, generally under poor labor conditions, in order to finance war efforts, insurgencies, or other illicit purposes. Blood diamonds have played a significant role in a series of brutal and bloody conflicts in Middle and Western Africa – the civil wars in the Ivory Coast, Liberia and Sierra Leone being arguably the most notable examples. Although the UN has tried to limit the illicit diamond trade, this has proven rather insufficient as the trade continues.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Disapproving of Japanese commercial whaling on environmental and ethical grounds is an opinion, but whaling is economically unsustainable – that’s a fact.

The Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games promoted the 2020 Olympics as the first zero carbon games in the history of the international sporting event, but conservationists took the attention on Tokyo as an opportunity to assert that as long as Japan continues its practice of commercial whaling, the games cannot be considered environmentally friendly.

The international community largely perceives whale fishing as cruel, whereas Japanese fisherman view it as a gift. Environmental organizations such as Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd are staunchly critical of whale hunting and the practice has been outlawed in many nations, although Japan recently resumed commercial whaling in 2019 after a 31-year hiatus.

Strongly negative perceptions of whaling from an animal rights perspective distract from the reality of the situation: the Japanese whaling industry is on the brink of collapse, and the success or failure of upcoming seasons will determine its future. Commercial whaling in Japan isn’t economically viable, and the fragile industry is being propped up by government subsidies.

      <itunes:subtitle>Disapproving of Japanese commercial whaling on environmental and ethical grounds is an opinion, but whaling is economically unsustainable – that’s a fact.

The Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games promoted the 2020 Olympics as the first zero carbon games in the history of the international sporting event, but conservationists took the attention on Tokyo as an opportunity to assert that as long as Japan continues its practice of commercial whaling, the games cannot be considered environmentally friendly.

The international community largely perceives whale fishing as cruel, whereas Japanese fisherman view it as a gift. Environmental organizations such as Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd are staunchly critical of whale hunting and the practice has been outlawed in many nations, although Japan recently resumed commercial whaling in 2019 after a 31-year hiatus.

Strongly negative perceptions of whaling from an animal rights perspective distract from the reality of the situation: the Japanese whaling industry is on the brink of collapse, and the success or failure of upcoming seasons will determine its future. Commercial whaling in Japan isn’t economically viable, and the fragile industry is being propped up by government subsidies.

Since the beginning of this year, Austria has lacked a legal basis for its climate policy goals. The official government goal is climate neutrality by 2040 and Minister Gewessler is preparing a new Climate Act which will bring together the green goals for this government. Minister Gewessler is very open and supportive of science when it comes to the environment and climate. Her new Climate Act will bring scientists as well as civil groups together in a citizen’s climate council which will provide input into the policy decision-making process for achieving effective climate policies. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>The Cost of War Project of Brown University has redefined the costs of post-9/11 wars. By bringing hidden costs into the open the Project has made a global impact.

Those working for the Project see themselves aligned with a broader peace movement.
Exclusive iGlobe News Interview with the founder of the Cost of War Project, Professor Catherine Lutz. Brown University’s unique Cost of War Project was initiated in 2010 by Professor of Anthropology and International Studies at Brown University, Catherine Lutz, and Chair of Political Science at Boston University, Neta Crawford, and has redefined how society measures the costs of war. The impact of this Project has been global — raising the awareness of political leaders, academics, journalists and civil society when accounting for the costs of wars.</itunes:summary>
