Lebanon Update with Nicholas Blanford
Hopes of an end to fighting in Lebanon seem short-lived as Hezbollah and the IDF exchange fire once again. Does Israel want to go further into Lebanon again, and if not, what’s stopping it? And if a ceasefire does hold where does this leave Hezbollah, Lebanon and Israel?
To answer those questions Nicholas Wood, Political Tours director, spoke with the veteran Lebanon analyst, Nicholas Blanford, one of the world's leading experts on Hizbollah.

Syria: End of the Assads with Sebastian Usher
Просмотров 10619 часов назад
It’s been a stunning turn of events - after 13 years of war - and an apparent victory over rebel forces just a few years back - Assad’s regime has collapsed in a matter of days. An Islamist leader now leads an alliance of rebels hoping to form a new government. What will it mean for Syria, the region and the world? Sebastian Usher is the the BBC’s Middle East editor - and a frequent contributor...
The Coming Storm with Gabriel Gatehouse
Просмотров 6002 месяца назад
Gabriel Gatehouse’s The Coming Storm is a brilliant exploration of how conspiracy theories are tearing America apart. It’s a story that takes you down a rabbit hole - one that both the US as a nation and he as a journalist fell through - to unpack an epochal shift in political culture that starts in the earliest years of the Clinton administration and reached a crescendo on 6 January 2021 with ...
What's Israel Thinking? with Dahlia Scheindlin
Просмотров 1072 месяца назад
Netanyahu’s pivot against Hizbollah, and now Iran, appears to have gained him new support at home - despite the prospects of an even wider war in the Middle East. At the same time, former Israeli generals are arguing for an even tougher approach in Gaza, and there is little hope of a hostage deal any time soon. It might be what Bibi wants, but is it what Israelis want? Israeli political and pol...
Is Harris Losing? with Malcolm Brown and Prof T Baldino
Просмотров 1682 месяца назад
We think Kamala Harris may be losing where it matters. With an electoral college that favours rural states, the Vice President needs to do more than win the popular vote. Remember Hilary won by 2.9 million votes but lost the electoral college. Political Tours’s Malcolm Brown and politics professor and polling expert Tom Baldino take us through a series of factors that should have the Democrats ...
Middle East Endgame with Charlie Gammell
Просмотров 1722 месяца назад
As Israel pummels Lebanon many are wondering where all of this ends. Is the US about to be pulled into a full-scale conflict with Iran? Hezbollah is on the backfoot for now but what will be the effects of a longer war in Lebanon? And what of the wider balance of power in the Middle-East? Charlie Gammell is a former British diplomat and author who has worked in Iran and Afghanistan. Political To...
Israel vs Hezbollah with Nicholas Blanford
Просмотров 2213 месяца назад
Israel has dealt Hezbollah a severe below with its exploding pager attack and subsequent bombing campaign. The Iranian backed militant group has sworn revenge while the Israeli government says it has opened a new front in its yearlong war. Until recently many middle-east observers believed that both sides had wanted to avoid an all-out conflict. Now, with a larger war looming, its not clear wha...
US Election Preview with Dante Chinni & Malcolm Brown
Просмотров 853 месяца назад
At first glance it looks like Kamala Harris has revived Democratic Party fortunes, leaving Donald Trump fumbling for a response. But two months away from election day it is FAR from clear who will win the race. As we all know Hillary Clinton won the vote in 2016 but lost the electoral college; it all depends on swing states like Michigan and Pennsylvania. Nicholas Wood and Owen Bennett-Jones sp...
The Slow then Sudden Death of the Tories with Philip Stephens
Просмотров 574 месяца назад
There are many ways to describe the sorry condition of Britain. Falling living standards, depressed trade and investment, a health service in permanent crisis, rising crime, broken railways, and public services that have simply stopped working. Financial Times columnist Philip Stephens says the Conservatives had hoped rational Rishi Sunak would make a difference. He hasn’t. Why not we ask, and ...
The Prince and The Plunder with Andrew Heavens
Просмотров 444 месяца назад
In 1868 British forces captured an Ethiopian prince in a punitive raid on a citadel along with a large pile of loot. The boy was sent to Rugby and Sandhurst, the plunder ended up in Britain’s museums. Now Ethiopia wants their treasure back as well as the body of the prince who lies in St George’s Chapel, Windsor. Andrew Heavens traces the tale and delves into the debate about their restitution....
The Other Front with Jacob Judah
Просмотров 294 месяца назад
Could you place San Marino on a map? Probably not - yet this micro-state surrounded by Italy has become instrumental in wielding Russian influence operations across the continent. So much so that its foreign service seems to have been co-opted by it. It’s just one in a series of examples that show how far Moscow goes in its war effort against Ukraine and the West. Jacob Judah, a freelance journ...
Tunisia's Authoritarian Populist with Monica Marks

Since President Kais Saied came to power in 2019 he has crippled parliament, clamped down on the press and jailed opposition figures. And now he’s using the Mediterranean’s migrant crisis to sure up his power with Europe. All this in a country which was once seen as the success story of the Arab Spring. Monica Marks explains. Interviewed by former BBC correspondent, Owen Bennett-Jones. Politica...
Back on Top - Kim Jong-Un with Prof. Rüdiger Frank

For some countries the war with Ukraine has come as a boon, and no more so than perhaps for North Korea. The hermit-like state has previously experienced the wrath of both China and Russia over its weapons testing program, but now Russia has just taken steps that significantly undermine UN sanctions.. and there’s evidence that a new trade in oil and weapons is already underway. Professor Rüdige...

Killing Thatcher with Rory Carroll
Просмотров 3105 месяцев назад
Forty years ago, this October, the IRA narrowly missed killing Margaret Thatcher during the Tory Party conference at the UK seaside resort. The plot was the most audacious attempt to strike at the British government probably since the Gunpowder Plot. Rory Carroll, The Guardian’s Ireland Correspondent, recounts what took place in a new book that covers all angles; from the bomber’s plans, to the...

    The isreali left is Wild- I thought that Oct 7th would bring this said back to reality but hearing this is very concerning on the future existence of isreal - hopefully only a small percentage of the left are still this obvious Everything in this interview is extremely problematic - however the left needs to look in the mirror regarding fault for Oct 7! It’s their stupid and ignorant views that are responsible for “the conception “ of the entire security leadership structure in isreal believing they were positive Hamas was deterred and busy being a responsible government in Gaza. So positive that like a dozen of them saw this plan and blew it off, didn’t think twice about it because they knew better right - went back to sleep after getting warning of the attack hours prior by the fence troops, he was so sure he didn’t bother calling ANYONE and went back to sleep- because their stupid ideology BLINDED them to the truth- just like these opinions are not based in reality! People so captured by a set of skewed beliefs that have no ability to see anything else is a treat on the level of Iran and proxies if they ever managed to implement policies. And it’s so rich that an American feels good about risking the state of Isreal because his terrible ideology is more important to him that the countries existence- especially when he will be the first to flee to USA on his duel passport - the left needs to stop talking now

    I'm so sorry about the troubles that the Scottish people have had to deal with but I am glad that you made this documentary. I've been reposting it on my social media page since Trump is again running for President in November 2024 against President Biden. He was just convicted of 34 felony charges but there's nothing in our constitution restricting him from running even though he's a felon. I hope that your documentary will open some people's eyes to his criminal activities and treatment to the Scottish families who live near his golf course. Thanks

    The Asante and Benin empires were slave empires. Their whole economy was based on kidnapping black people from small villages and forcing them to work in Gold mines and selling them to Spanish, Portugese and French merchants. The Benin empire was most famous human sacrifice. Where 200 human slaves were burned alive as a sacrifice. The British invaded Benin and Ghana [Asante] to end the slave trade, as the Kings of these African empire's refused to end their slave trades. The only reason slavery ended in Africa is because the British forced their Kings to end it.

    Gershon, the pontificator in chief. Criticizing everyone that doesn’t think like he does. His ego has got the better of him. He’s got a platform because of Gallit deal which many Israelis regret, especially now. He thinks way too highly of himself. His explanation of why there’s disproportionate attention to this conflict was one of the better explanations however. If you ever have a problem, big or small, apparently just ask Gershon.

  • @BK-uf6qr
    @BK-uf6qr 7 месяцев назад

    Gershon believe Hamas about how many hostages they have. Why? This whole war is centered on the hostages for Hamas. Yet he believes they only know about less than 20 hostages? What a fool. Hamas can talk on satellite phones and the outside world yet the Crown Jewels they are unaware of?

  • @BK-uf6qr
    @BK-uf6qr 7 месяцев назад

    Gershon always has a lot to say. It’s his world and we are living in it. He always talks about people he talked to and they all seem to say fantastical things. Then he draws out illogical solutions from these secret conversations that defy reality. He’s always pressing Israel and not Hamas which exposes his bias. Hamas has got quite the pass from everyone.

    Professor Shlaim's discussion of the mythic "Two-State Solution" 33:37 chimes with virtually every expert: it is dead, now no more than "once upon a time..." Yet the U.S. and Europe continue to mouth it as a mere slogan, a smokescreen as fictional as a Harry Potter magic spell. A crucial problem is that our so-called "leaders" refuse to listen to the real experts, and dismiss every major human rights organization - they prefer parroting propaganda, just as they ceaselessly invoke the "democratic state" that Israel is absolutely not.
