Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on February 3rd, 2020. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.
At the beginning of 2020, under the presidency of Donald Trump, the US and Iran stepped back from the edge of war. But Trump did bring more than a thousand sanctions, and for Iranians, that has meant normal life often feels like war.

Spain won a historic victory at the Women’s World Cup, marking the country’s first-ever win. But in the weeks since, there’s been nothing but controversy.

Korean “sea women,” or the Haenyeo, have made a living freediving off Jeju Island for centuries. Many of them supported entire families with their harvest and became part of an ancient tradition of female breadwinners in Korea since the 17th century. They played a vital role in the island’s recovery through colonialism and the Cold War. But now, with rising sea temperatures and decreasing harvests, will we see this tradition disappear?

Russia has charged four men for the attack on Friday that killed at least 137 people in Moscow. ISIL-K has claimed responsibility, while Russian President Vladimir Putin has blamed Ukraine. Putin is just coming off another election victory, and has long promised the country security. Will the worst attack on civilians in Moscow in more than a decade have an effect on his power?

Sun, 24 Mar 2024 - 1081 - Another Take: Is the 4-day week the future of work?
Every Saturday, we revisit a story that’s in the news again. This week, we're revisiting a global study that found a 4-day working week resulted in a high level of satisfaction on the part of both employers and employees.
This originally aired on May 31, 2023. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.
Are we on the verge of another workplace revolution? It’s possible to work fewer hours and keep the same level of pay and productivity, according to results of the largest-ever trial of a four-day workweek held in the United Kingdom. Traditional work routines were upended by the COVID-19 pandemic, and there’s increased demand for more flexible schedules. But in many parts of the world, even a five-day week is a luxury. So can a four-day workweek work for everyone?

A potential US TikTok ban is edging closer into becoming law. The House of Representatives passed a bill that would effectively ban the app, citing national security concerns. If the bill makes it through the Senate, President Joe Biden has indicated he would sign it into law.

Portugal’s antiracist movement had its largest protest in recent memory after George Floyd was killed by US police.

What’s behind Portugal’s rosy view of history, and how does that affect Black activists fighting for their rights today?

As the US government resists calls for a ceasefire, a coalition of faith leaders, artists and activists in the US are on a 240-kilometer journey to Washington DC, in what they’re calling a “Pilgrimage for Peace.” Their goal is to convince the Biden administration to halt all weapons funding to Israel and push for a permanent ceasefire in Palestine.

Sun, 18 Feb 2024 - 1046 - Another Take: Who is Alexey Navalny?
Every Saturday, we revisit a story that’s in the news again. On Friday, Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny died in an Arctic prison while serving 19 years behind bars. Today, we look back at his history.
This originally aired on March 26, 2021. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.
Alexey Navalny is a man with many titles: Russian dissident, opposition leader, activist, investigator, lawyer. Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly refuses to say his name. But this larger-than-life persona leaves out a crucial part of Navalny’s past — his history of nationalism.

Visa-free travel is on the rise in Africa, with Malawi the latest country to ease restrictions. Earlier this year, Kenya took an even bigger step, going visa-free for all visitors. The move left Kenyans asking if this will lead to more accessible travel. Travel restrictions have been labeled by some as a "new apartheid" rooted in racism. But if more countries follow suit, could that change?

In a shocking discovery on a ranch hidden in Kenya’s Shakahola Forest, more than 100 people – including children – have been found dead in mass graves. Pastor Paul Mackenzie convinced followers of his Good News International Church that the world was ending, though he denies telling them to starve themselves to death. Could this have been stopped?

Sun, 21 Jan 2024 - 1018 - Another Take: Why are people disappearing in Balochistan?
Every Saturday, we revisit a story that’s in the news again. As Iran and Pakistan trade military strikes, we look at one side of their shared border: the Pakistani province of Balochistan.
This originally aired on May 4, 2022. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.
Enforced disappearances have been happening across Pakistan for the last 20 years. And in the southwest province of Balochistan, in particular, some human rights groups say thousands of people are missing. In this episode, The Take talks to the family member of a victim about how her life has been affected.

Sat, 20 Jan 2024 - 1017 - Why is Germany supporting Israel at the ICJ?
Germany says it will intervene in the genocide case against Israel, its longtime ally, in front of the International Court of Justice. Some Germans say the country’s defense of Israel goes hand in hand with repression of pro-Palestine voices at home. So what’s behind Germany’s unwavering support of Israel?
