PODCAST: Israel’s Reckoning: From Victim to Villain

The 7th October 2025 will mark the 2-year anniversary since armed groups from the Gaza Strip carried out their assault on Israel. It seems a long time ago now as so much has happened from displacement, destruction, slaughter and genocide. Where do things currently stand, what do we know now that we didn't know two years ago? In this podcast we explore Israel's strategy, the push for Palestinian statehood, shifting public opinion, and the implications for regional stability.

What impact will emerging technologies such as AI, quantum computing and advanced materials have on the world. In this podcast we delve into all this and more.

PODCAST: Where Now for South Asia

On the morning of Saturday May 10th, US president Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that a ceasefire had been agreed between India and Pakistan after weeks of rising tensions and military strikes.  The two South Asian powers faced-off against each other, raising concerns this could turn into an all out war between the nuclear nations.  Pakistan’s use of Chinese platforms, India’s loss of French jets, the US intervention and the first Cold War between the West and the East are just some of the issues analysts are pouring over and that is exactly what we will do in this podcast. https://youtu.be/5iY2UpaoIx8
