  • 638 - Sudan: A savage war and toxic information battle

    A year into the civil war in Sudan, the humanitarian costs have been staggering - but the news coverage has been minimal.

    A conflict on this scale should top the news agenda but it has been relegated to the back pages – in part – because of what is happening in Gaza and Ukraine. And it is increasingly difficult to deny that the lack of media interest in this war comes down to where it is being fought and how it is understood.

  • 637 - Genocide in Gaza: Enabled by AI, powered by Big Tech

    The algorithms that Big Tech designed - and the genocide they assisted. The Listening Post explores how Israel’s killing campaign of Palestinians has relied on artificial intelligence to choose its targets. A dystopian nightmare serves as a marketing campaign for technology flawed by design, and deepens the global digital divide.

    Mona Shtaya – Digital rights scholar
    Matthew Mahmoudi – Researcher, Amnesty Tech
    Sebastian Ben Daniel – Journalist, +972 Magazine

    On our radar:

    Nicaragua put Germany in the dock at the International Court of Justice, accusing it of facilitating genocide in Gaza. Germany is the second largest weapons supplier to Israel.

    Meenakshi Ravi dissects the reaction from Berlin and the German media to the case.

    Truth to power in wartime Ukraine

    Three years into Ukraine’s war with Russia, journalists are feeling the pressure. Where once investigative outlet Bihus.info was relied on to expose Russian war crimes, they’re now undergoing Soviet-style surveillance by security services for exposing corruption in Ukraine.

  • 636 - Myth/Miracle: Dissecting the Modi government’s claims

    It is election season in India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems set to win a third successive term in the national elections — for good reason, say his supporters. They claim 10 years of the Modi government have transformed India, from lifting millions out of poverty to elevating India’s global status, but his critics say Modi’s record is far from perfect.

    In this episode of The India Report, we analyse how India has fared in the past decade on the foreign policy and economic policy fronts.

    Featuring:
    Jayati Ghosh - Professor of economics, University of Massachusetts
    Anand Gurumurthy - BJP spokesperson  and economist

  • 635 - Reporting under genocide: Six months in Gaza

    With international reporters locked out, Palestinian journalists have made huge sacrifices to keep the world informed of the unprecedented killing and destruction in Gaza.

    More media workers have been killed by Israel since October 7 than in any other conflict in modern history.

    Like the rest of the population, Gaza's journalists have also been maimed, arrested or threatened, have seen their homes and offices destroyed and are grieving over the loss of those close to them.

    The Listening Post spent time with three Al Jazeera journalists between February and March 2024.

  • 634 - The cracks are deepening in the US-Israel alliance

    Six months into Israel’s devastating war on Gaza, the United Nations Security Council has finally passed a resolution demanding a ceasefire. The United States’s abstention marks a pivotal moment in Israel’s increasing international isolation.

    In the Israeli media, the opposition to the UN vote is near-unanimous and unsurprising. More striking is the lack of interest from American news outlets. The implications this story raises are perhaps a little uncomfortable for them - they hit too close to home.

    Contributors:
    Ramzy Baroud - Editor, The Palestine Chronicle
    Ardi Imseis  - Former UNRWA official
    Daniel Levy - President, US-Middle East Project
    Sarah Leah Whitson - Executive Director, DAWN

    On our radar:

    A New York Times piece has revealed more information about the mass surveillance Israel has deployed on Palestinians in Gaza. Producer Tariq Nafi reports on how facial recognition is being used to collect and catalogue the faces of Palestinians, “without their knowledge or consent".

    Modi’s messaging machine

    In a few weeks, India will launch a six-week-long process of voting for the next national government - and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to win an historic third term in office. Producer Meenakshi Ravi explores the all-encompassing information ecosystem that is likely to help put Modi back in the prime minister’s office.
