Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 2.5k ratings
  • Too much bowing to the Israel and US rightwing. The late night broadcasters very good.

    They may me the very best of the current worst but too much bowing to Israel and US.

  • Sets the standard for news

    No other service approaches your professionalism. The phone call to the US President elevates the program. News from the streets in Terran and WangCho China adds to the experience. You have no peer.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump says US Iran ceasefire is over
Q: I mean, how serious are these comments coming from Mr. Trump today?
Sanam Vakil responds that while the remarks are serious, they fit a pattern of testing rhetoric and do not automatically translate into immediate, full-scale war; there remains room for cooling tensions, though risk is elevated.
Iran and US agree deal to end war
Q: What does this mean for the broader regional dynamics, especially regarding relations with Israel and the broader Gulf states?
Analysts and interviewees note mixed reactions: while some Gulf states and Europe welcomed the framework, Israel and other regional actors remain cautious, signaling that the deal could shift but not resolve broader tensions in the region.
Iran and US agree deal to end war
Q: Can you walk us through the four pillars that were discussed and what is actually in the memorandum of understanding?
The four pillars were outlined in discussions, with one element explicitly referenced—the 60% enriched uranium being retrieved under IAEA guidance—while other core issues like inspection scope, facility closures, and future negotiations remain to be finalized.
Iran and US agree deal to end war
Q: So where did this phone call fit into the festivities and what does it reveal about the immediate messaging from the White House?
Sanger explains that the call was a key moment that framed the deal as a significant advancement over previous negotiations, while also highlighting how the specifics and verifications remain to be negotiated, signaling both breakthrough and ongoing scrutiny.
US-Iran deal at risk after Israeli strike on Beirut
Q: What examples does the guest give about AI's impact in real workplaces?
She highlights Amazon warehouses where robots bring shelves to workers, making tasks more efficient but more solitary and repetitive, illustrating how automation can reduce physical strain while potentially reducing job meaning.
