Our AI-generated Derek was working well until it kept insisting Danny’s name was “Darren” and that The Flat Earth was the news. On this spherical celestial body, however, we covered some other stories: Diplomatic progress in Saudi Arabia with Syria and Iran (0:50), peace talks in Yemen (5:30), the UN responds to the Taliban’s ban on female employees in Afghanistan (8:15), a new missile test from the DPRK (11:04), violence in Ethiopia’s Amhara region (13:01), Finland finally joins NATO (15:26), a New Cold War update featuring Emmanuel Macron in China (17:47), fallout from the recent document leak in the US (20:36), and a Ukraine update (24:43) featuring Seymour Hersh’s new piece (27:22).
*Note: US authorities have arrested the document leaker since the time of recording.
