With Far-Right riots dominating the news, the question of whether this spike in racist outbursts, is an abnormal occurrence and a blip on the radar or whether it’s a phenomenon that is here to stay for a while.

Anas Altikriti talks with Weyman Bennett on the recent far-right racist riots and how they are likely to manifest in the coming days, weeks and probably even years.

They discuss how the target of racists are Muslims, and how this emerged and developed so that Islamophobia became almost normalized across the board.

The role of the new Labour government in combatting, or indeed exacerbating this issue is also discussed, with a look at the role that the Gaza protests had on the collective response to the racists.

With Donald Trump achieving a landslide victory over Kamala Harris in the recent US Presidential elections, countless questions emerge regarding what the world, as well as the US itself, can expect from the next 4 years.

Whether, the US economy or the issue of illegal migration, or whether Ukraine, China, the Middle East, the questions surrounding that Trump 2nd term are many and pressing. Without doubt, Israel, Palestine and particularly the ongoing attacks on Gaza and Lebanon are high amongst those questions, as well as the normalization process which Trump launched in his first term.

Few are more capable of dissecting America and forecasting what the world can expect, than Professor Sami Al-Arian, who sits with Anas Altikriti to discuss these questions and more.

Australian society and the response to a genocide | The London Circle

While the outrage over Gaza is palpable, the Australian government remains silent, and to many actively complicit with Israel in the crimes against the Palestinians. But things are changing, or are they?

This discussion with Sue Bolton and Mohammad Helmy is fascinating for a number of reasons, not least because of the decades long involvement of both with bringing to Australia’s attention the crime of occupation in Palestine, and the attempt to make the issue of Palestine a political point of debate.

Anas Altikriti talks with the both of them and discusses the impact of the Gaza genocide on the coming local and federal Australian elections.
