Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Humanitarian Crisis in Sudan Deepens
Q: Why is this moment such a pivotal moment for civilians?
Emi Mahmoud highlights that it's a crucial point, likening it to previous genocides, emphasizing the need for urgent intervention to prevent further loss of life.
A Brazen Theft from France’s Most Famous Museum
Q: Are you surprised by that? Is that level of security typical for a museum of the Louvre's caliber?
It's not uncommon, as many historically important museums do not have state-of-the-art security. Upgrades can be expensive.
A Brazen Theft from France’s Most Famous Museum
Q: What if the thieves dismantle them? Is there still any opportunity or any option to recover them?
Yes, even if dismantled, there are many opportunities for law enforcement to recover portions of the jewels.
A Brazen Theft from France’s Most Famous Museum
Q: If you're in a team investigating this, what are your first steps?
Collect evidence that was left behind, understand what happened, and reach out to sources in the community.
A Brazen Theft from France’s Most Famous Museum
Q: Any theories about who would do something like this?
It's going to be a group of individuals that are financially motivated; hopefully, their motivation is to ransom these items back intact.
