    The reporting on Gaza is brilliant. It's vital to understanding the realities of life on the ground and the long history of Israel's oppression.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Who benefits from India's sweeping new labour reforms?
Q: Do these new codes give employers greater flexibility at the expense of job security?
Yes, the codes relax protections for workers and favor the interests of employers over that of labor.
Who benefits from India's sweeping new labour reforms?
Q: Why are the unions so opposed to these changes?
Unions argue that the new labor codes exclude 90% of the organized sector from protection and excessively favor employers.
Could military service become reality again in European countries?
Q: Does Europe genuinely need some form of conscription again? Or is this the wrong answer?
Each country in Europe needs to work out its own way that works for its own culture; the Nordics already have it, the Baltics already have it, but Britain needs a social reset.
Could military service become reality again in European countries?
Q: Is this shift being driven more by real security needs, deterrence, readiness, or is it simply political posturing?
It's a combination, we want to deter Russia and we must be capable of defending ourselves if deterrence fails.
Was the G20 summit a success without the US?
Q: Can the G20 function without America?
If you mean issuing communiques, it can; however, enforcing the decisions is difficult without the US, which remains a leading power.
