   Number 1: Tories In A Death Spiral

   Has any government been so convulsed by such a catastrophically damaging scandal since World War II? As continued revelations about rampant partying in No. 10 envelop Boris Johnson, is it finally all over for him? Will he bring the Tories down with him - or will a leadership change allow them reboot? Is Labour triumphalism justified? We're joined by Peter Oborne - author of The Assault on Truth: Boris Johnson, Donald Trump and the Emergence of a New Moral Barbarism - and campaigner Matt Zarb Cousin.

   Number 2: Emma Watson Smeared For Supporting Palestine

   Megastar actor Emma Watson has been falsely smeared as an anti-Semite by former Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon after posting a pro-Palestine message on Instagram. Here is a striking example of anti-Palestinian racism: of how even expressing mild sympathy with the plight of the Palestinians is portrayed as a grotesque act of hatred. This is just the latest attack on a public figure expressing sympathy with the Palestinian people - but is it overreach and a sign of weakness by apologists for Israeli occupation? Is this strategy succeeding in marginalising support for the Palestinians - or is support for Palestinian justice greater than ever? And what does it mean for combatting the very real and growing menace of antisemitism across the world? We're joined by Salem Barahmeh - Executive Director of Rābet by PIPD - live from Ramallah, Palestine; and Em Hilton - co-founder of Na'amod: British Jews Against Occupation. Also: after the 'Colston 4' are cleared by a jury of criminal damage for their part in toppling the statue of slaver Edward Colston in Bristol, we are joined by one of the vindicated live.

   Number 3: The Boris Johnson Clusterf*ck

   As Boris Johnson’s premiership is consumed in crisis after his repeated lies about multiple parties in No. 10, is it all over for him? Will he drag the Tories down with him? Are there even worse scandals? Will what comes next be even worse? Can’t imagine what that would look like? (We can). We are joined by Jolyon Maugham to explain how his Good Law Project successfully exposed the corruption of the government in the courts - and Ellie Mae O’Hagan to talk over what this all means.

   Number 4: Kazakhstan: What Is Really Happening?

   As the dictatorship of Kazakhstan violently cracks down on protesters, what's really going on? What's the role of inequality and poverty - and the broken promises of the free market? Just what is the nature of the governing tyranny - and with Russian intervention, what does this mean for global politics? Kazakh voices have been far too erased from this coverage. That's why we're talking to sociologist Dr. Diana T. Kudaibergenova to explain what caused this, what's happening on the ground - and what happens next.

   Number 5: Chile Stamps On Pinochet's Grave

   Nearly half a century after Salvador Allende's democratically socialist government was overthrown by Augusto Pinochet, the people of Chile decisively voted for leftist Gabriel Boric over far right extremist José Antonio Kast. Is the Latin American 'pink tide' back with a vengeance, what does this mean for Chile, the Continent and beyond - and what hope can we all draw from this huge triumph for the left? We're joined by David Adler - General Coordinator of the Progressive International, which Boric is a member of - and Hassan live on the ground in Chile.
