Could Imran Khan's arrest plunge Pakistan into turmoil?

The Malaysian government is facing accusations of forcibly deporting Rohingya refugees, a charge the government denies. It says the process is voluntary and coordinated with Myanmar’s government. But human rights groups say this process violates international law by sending refugees to countries where they risk facing persecution or torture. So, will this concern stop the Rohingya being sent back to Myanmar?

In this episode:


Phar Kim Beng, Director of the Institute of International and ASEAN Studies and Geopolitics Professor at the University of Malaysia


Lucky Karim, Democracy and Human Rights Advocate and Founder of Refugee Women for Peace and Justice


Maung Zarni, Genocide Scholar and Co-Founder of the scholar-activist network, Forces of Renewal Southeast Asia

Why is Malaysia sending back Rohingya refugees to Myanmar?

In this episode: 
Ahmed Rushdi, President of the House of Iraqi Expertise Foundation
Kenneth Katzman, Senior Fellow at The Soufan Center

Can Iraq handle future security challenges alone?

Unacceptable. That was the immediate reaction from US President Donald Trump to Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran says it's still awaiting what it called a "definitive response" from Washington through mediators. But Trump has said Iran needs a deal because, in his words, it's "losing badly." So, is his rejection of the proposal an effort to pressure Tehran for more concessions?

In this episode: 
Abas Aslani, Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Middle East Strategic Studies
Henry Ensher, former US diplomat and former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State
Zeidon Alkinani, Founding Director of the Arab Perspectives Institute
