- Zohran Mamdani's victory in New York's mayoral race, and other electoral successes, have energised Democrats in the US and left-wing parties worldwide.
The new standard-bearer of the American left is hailed by progressives as a generational shift of leadership - at 34 he will be the first Muslim mayor of New York, and one of its youngest ever. #trump #mamdani
But he faces opposition from many quarters over his plans to raise taxes on the wealthy. Not least from President Donald Trump, who has threatened to hold back federal funds from the city where he was born.
This week’s podcast assesses the significance of the first major elections of Trump’s second term, and what it means for Democrats’ chances of winning back the U.S. House of Representatives in midterm elections next November. In the US, host Bronwen Maddox is joined by Laurel Rapp, Director of the US and North America Programme, and Bruce Stokes, an Associate Fellow and a former ...

- How should the world confront climate derailment risks?
- Runtime

- Date posted

- Description
- Two trends characterise the current climate moment: accelerating progress, including a green technology revolution; and accelerating impacts and risks, which have been persistently underestimated. It is hoped that the former trend will prevail over the latter: that escalating climate impacts will reinforce action, breaking through the growing political deadlock. This could create a virtuous cycle, with climate consequences encouraging more action, which progressively tackles the underlying problem.
Yet the opposite can also occur: climate consequences could distract from climate action. There is growing evidence of this dynamic, for example, the climate denying Vox party gained support in the wake of the 2024 Valencia floods, a disaster partly driven by climate change. This dynamic is called ‘derailment risk’. It’s a vicious cycle: a feedback loop where the consequences of climate change get in the way of climate action, worsening the underlying problem.

- In conversation with Lee Hsien Loong, senior minister of Singapore.
The international order is undergoing profound change. Strategic rivalries have sharpened, boundaries between economics, security and technology are increasingly blurred, and the multilateral world order is under strain.
These global shifts are felt acutely in the Indo-Pacific, a region that is simultaneously an engine of global growth and a focus of geopolitical competition. From its position at the heart of Southeast Asia, Singapore offers a unique vantage point on these developments. As a small state, it must be resilient and adaptable in managing these significant uncertainties, and securing its national interests.
In this session, Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Singapore’s prime minister between 2004 and 2024, will reflect on how small states like Singapore and the wider region can navigate the formidable challenges of our time.

- In this discussion, the panellists will examine potential end-state scenarios for the war, its dynamics of escalation, and the unsettling echoes of 1914 and 1939. They will also explore how the war is transforming Russia itself.
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 shattered the post-Cold War security architecture and disrupted the rules-based international order.
Vladimir Putin has stated that the war is not merely a territorial conflict but a contest over much broader and fundamental issues; it is about ‘the principles on which the new world order will be based.’ What are the issues that Russia is trying to settle, and what kind of outcome will satisfy its ambitions?
Key questions to be discussed during this event include:
Do historical parallels with the 20th century suggest we are witnessing the prelude to another world war?
Are we seeing the birth of a new kind of conflict, one shaped by new technology as ...

- Description
- Our panel of experts examines how the promise of EU accession for the Western Balkans can be realised, and what challenges stand in the way.
For two decades, the European Union has held out the prospect of membership to the Western Balkans as a pathway to stability, prosperity, and reform. Yet, progress has been uneven. While countries in the region have made strides in democratic governance and economic development, concerns around corruption, rule of law, and political instability continue to delay accession.
As enlargement fatigue sets in across Europe, the question remains whether the EU will deliver and whether the Western Balkans can meet the demands of accession. And with an assertive Russia probing across Europe, the Western Balkans remains a battleground for influence between Moscow and Europe.
This panel will explore the state of play in EU–Western Balkans relations, the political will within Brussels and European capitals to expand, a...

- Israel’s war against Iran and its regional proxies has redrawn elements of the Middle Eastern geopolitical map, exposing both the reach and the fragility of Iran’s strategic ambitions. After years of investing heavily in its “axis of resistance” stretching from Hezbollah in Lebanon to militias in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen—Iran finds itself confronting a radically altered landscape in 2025. Its proxies are weakened, its domestic infrastructure damaged, and its deterrence credibility under question.
Perhaps most notably, the aftermath of the war has triggered a renewed nuclear standoff with Washington fuelled by the uncompromising posture of the Trump administration. The conflict in June saw strikes directly targeting facilities linked to Iran’s nuclear weapons efforts. In a shift that has alarmed both allies and adversaries, Tehran has ruled out any new negotiations on its nuclear program, citing the military strikes as a breach of sovereignty and a collapse of dip...
