The world is facing multiple crises simultaneously: Climate change, the rise of authoritarian movements, and the exploitation of labour from the Global South, among others. Professor of philosophy and politics at the New School, Nancy Fraser, says "it can’t be a coincidence" - at the root of it all is capitalism.

So how do resistance movements build a power big enough to fight back? And will it take a fundamental restructuring of society?

This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks with professor of philosophy and politics at the New School, Nancy Fraser.

With the thrust and parry of rigorous debate, Mehdi Hasan cuts through the headlines to challenge conventional wisdom, highlight contradictions and uncover double standards.

This past week, the United States and Israel launched a war on Iran under the banner of regime change. But as the war escalates and with Iran firing missiles at US bases across the region and at Israel - questions are mounting over how far this conflict could spiral.

This week on UpFront Redi Tlhabi challenges former National Security Adviser and former US Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton on why he believes that a diplomatic end to the war would be a mistake, and we speak to Joe Cirincione, author of, Nuclear Nightmares: Securing the World Before it is Too Late, about the risk of nuclear proliferation.

More than a hundred days into Gaza’s ceasefire, Israeli strikes continue, killing hundreds of Palestinians.

At the same time, United States President Donald Trump’s "Board of Peace" is pushing ahead with Gaza reconstruction plans - without any Palestinians in its top leadership - raising questions about whether meaningful change is possible without the voices of those most affected.

So what comes next? Will Gaza Palestinians have any real say in shaping their own future?

This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks with Jehad Abusalim, policy analyst and author of Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire, on the ceasefire, the ongoing Israeli strikes, Trump’s plans for Gaza, and what lies ahead for the territory.

One year into Donald Trump’s return to office, a wave of hardline actions - from volatile ICE raids to growing concern over political pressure on the media - has raised alarm about the expansion of the president’s power.

Then with US midterms approaching, attention is turning to whether there is any meaningful challenge to Republican grip on Congress.

So what happens next?

This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks with journalist and author Chris Hedges about Trump’s second presidency and whether US democracy is on the decline.
