In this episode, we examine the implications of the Bahrain-UAE-Israel normalisation deal and the aftermath of the fire that devastated the Moria refugee camp.
Tune in as we analyze how Bahrain joined the United Arab Emirates in normalising relations with Israel last week. President Donald Trump warned of similar US-brokered deals with "five or six" other unknown Arab nations.
With hundreds of Palestinians demonstrating against what they perceived to be Arab leaders selling out their quest for self-determination for narrow geopolitical interests, Emiratis and Bahrainis have also expressed their dissatisfaction with their governments’ decision, risking arrest in two countries with human rights records deplored by rights groups.
Then, hear how thousands of asylum seekers on the Greek island of Lesbos fled for their lives as a huge fire ripped through the camp of Moria, the country's largest and most notorious migrant facility. Hear from experts on the ground, and refugees who are struggling with yet another threat to their livelihood.
