The music trailer for the performance of "Propaganda Narratives," created by Kaivalya Plays from during an art residency I was a resident in and funded by Media Futures through the European Union, sets the stage for a thought-provoking and chilling exploration of the impact of technology on misinformation and propaganda. As it was showcased in Germany and presented to the United Nations Assembly members, this track serves as a haunting soundtrack that mirrors the ominous essence of the performance.

With eerie, atmospheric tones and foreboding rhythms, the music trailer encapsulates the unsettling experience of witnessing the dark side of technology unfold. "Propaganda Narratives" delves deep into the shadows where misinformation and manipulation thrive, making a powerful statement about the urgent need to address these issues in the modern world. This music trailer invites viewers to confront the unsettling realities of our digital age, leaving a lasting impression on those who bear witness to its impactful message.

قدم اللاجئون السوريون إلى مصر منذ عام 2011 نتيجة الصراعات والحرب الأهلية التي اشتعلت هناك، فرغم أن مصر بها نحو 1.5 مليون سوري، فإن نحو 153 ألفاً فقط تم تسجيلهم في مفوضية اللاجئين المعنية بتقديم الخدمات لهم، وتوفر المفوضية لهم خدمات مختلفة أبرزها الإقامة في مصر، حيث يتم تجديد تلك الإقامة كل 6 أشهر، وهو ما يتسبب في معاناة اللاجئين السوريين بمصر، مع نقص الخدمات التي توفرها المفوضية، بينما يتمتع اللاجئون بالخدمات الخاصة بالتعليم والصحة التي تقدمها مصر لهم، في ظل معاملة السوريين معاملة المصريين

*) Israel tells hospitals to prepare for 'thousands' of injured

Israel has ordered hospitals in the north of the country to prepare for the possibility of receiving "thousands of injured" people as tensions with Hezbollah increase.

Israel's Health Ministry has asked medical centres to prepare for the possibility of going into "deserted island mode," that is being left without medical supplies, medicine and food for days.

The ministry also asked hospitals to go into emergency mode within a few hours and requested that they maintain a 50 percent occupancy rate.

*) Egypt refuses to let Israel monitor buffer zone with Gaza

Egypt has rejected a proposal by Israel for greater Israeli oversight over the buffer zone on the Egypt-Gaza border.

Egypt said it is prioritising efforts to broker a ceasefire before working on post-war arrangements.

Egyptian sources said that during those talks Israel had approached Egypt about securing the Philadelphi Corridor, a narrow buffer zone along the border, as part of Israeli plans to prevent future attacks.

*) Dozens of rabbis protest at UN to demand Israel end its war on Gaza

About three dozen rabbis and rabbinical students from US organisations have protested inside the UN Security Council chamber and later in front of the main UN building.

They urged a ceasefire in Gaza and asked US President Joe Biden's administration to allow such resolutions to pass instead of vetoing them in the Security Council.

The protests were organised by US Jewish groups, including Jewish Voice for Peace, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, and Rabbis for Ceasefire.

*) West slams Russia's use of North Korean missiles against Ukraine

Nearly 50 countries joined the US in condemning North Korea's alleged transfer of missiles to Russia, demanding an immediate end to the cooperation.

In a joint statement, they said the alleged missile shipment "flagrantly" violated sanctions on North Korea by the UN Security Council, of which Russia is a permanent member.

"The transfer of these weapons increases the suffering of the Ukrainian people, supports Russia's war of aggression, and undermines the global non-proliferation regime," said the statement.

*) Secret tunnel discovered under synagogue in New York

More than 10 Hasidic Jewish worshippers were arrested after clashes broke out at a historic Brooklyn synagogue in New York.

The discovery of the tunnel at the Chabad-Lubavitch world headquarters in Crown Heights prompted an emergency structural inspection from the city. 

Motti Seligson, the spokesperson for Chabad Lubavitch, said that some time ago, "a group of extremist students" broke through a few walls in adjacent properties to the synagogue to provide them with "unauthorised access."

In the plenary session of the 7MLE Conference, Prof. Jeffrey Sachs from Columbia University addresses the critical challenges and financial strategies necessary to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which aims for quality education for all, emphasizing the importance of local-language instruction. Prof. Sachs highlights the significant barriers to education in low-income countries, such as poverty, the prevalence of multilingual environments, and the physical and resource limitations of rural educational institutions. He proposes three complementary solutions: expanding physical school infrastructure, promoting local-language instruction, and integrating online education. He emphasizes the need for increased global financing to support these initiatives, particularly to enhance local language and online educational resources, outlining potential financial mechanisms to support this ambitious goal.

After years of experience in active theatres of war, including in Ukraine, Amir Omeragic, the Director of the Peace and Security Cluster of UNOPS, can confidently say that “we know what we’re doing” in Gaza. Before the latest outbreak of conflict, a team from UNOPS was already on the ground in Gaza due to the ongoing “cycles of violence” but Amir admits that, now, “it’s nearly impossible [to provide assistance] because conflict is ongoing”. 

The Peace and Security Cluster directed by Amir is responsible for clearing landmines in conflict zones and the impact of this work goes beyond the more immediate life-saving, as Amir explains in this episode of Policy Voices. 

Amir is no stranger to conflict having spent time in Bosnia and Herzegovina, his home country, during the war, as well as six years in Afghanistan. He reminds us that civilians are always the ones carrying the brunt of war and that the consequences of conflict are “far-reaching”.

About the Debate:

In Nov 1945, the U.S. joined UNESCO, a new post-WWII organization designed to promote world peace and security.

In Dec 1984, President Reagan took the U.S. out of UNESCO citing corruption and mismanagement.

In Oct 2003, President George Bush rejoined UNESCO to advance human rights, tolerance, and learning.

In Dec 2018, President Trump took the U.S.out of UNESCO citing anti-Israel bias, and the U.S.’s mounting arrears to UNESCO resulting from Palestine’s election as a full member.

In July 2023, President Biden rejoined UNESCO for the third time to combat increasing Chinese influence at the organization.

Given the problematic relationship between the U.S. and UNESCO, and the organization’s history of controversial initiatives, was this a wise decision? What are the pros and cons for the U.S. of being a member of UNESCO once again?

How does ecological data analysis inform financial policies that challenge the status quo to achieve United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, thereby addressing the climate crisis and saving the world as we know it? It’s a mix of positioning, ingenuity, investment, and good old-fashioned act-now-and-think-later responsiveness. Simple. For a more detailed accounting, check out the latest episode of the I Am Interchange podcast: Vibrant Data. 

In this episode, Tate Chamberlin is joined by esteemed ecologist and data analyst Eric Berlow, venture capitalist and 2050 founder Marie Ekeland, and We Are Human managing partner and Katapult Ocean partner and chair Sindre Østgård.

THIS SEASON:  It seems, now more than ever, that we have found ourselves on the cusp of monumental worldwide change. Whether we consider the environment, politics, infrastructure, health, economics, or equities across a broad swath of social constructs, the consensus is clear and urgent: all is not as it should be. The United Nations (UN), a consortium of 193 Member States from around the globe, agrees. In 2015, the UN unanimously adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) calling for urgent action in global partnership to secure “peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.” In alignment with the goals, HATCH — a curated network of innovators, artists, activists, and entrepreneurs working together to accelerate positive global change — focused its fall summit impact labs on topics related to their four impact pillars: EQUITY, EDUCATION, ENVIRONMENT, and EMPOWERMENT This series will explore those on the frontlines of transformational systems change, accelerating solutions for these human challenges.

The Institute of World Politics is a graduate school of national security and international affairs, dedicated to developing leaders with a sound understanding of international realities and the ethical conduct of statecraft, based on knowledge and appreciation of the principles of the American political economy and the Western moral tradition.
