From FRANCE- Recently I found myself saying that only the US has free speech and then wondering what that actually meant. So here is a conversation about the history of free speech in France, including the story of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. In 2015 there were deadly attacks on the staff for publishing caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed. And people in many countries defended the magazine by saying Je Suis Charlie. The US has given Hamas an ultimatum 21 point peace plan that must be accepted in 3 or 4 days. An interview with Fathi Nimer in Ramallah,, a Policy Fellow at the al-Shabaka think tank. He discusses how the proposed peace plan is being viewed in Palestine and what might happen if an agreement is reached or rejected.

From GERMANY- As of today, Thursday, Israeli military forces had intercepted dozens of boats that are part of a relief flotilla headed to Gaza. Around 500 people were aboard 40 vessels, and those on the captured boats were taken ashore. Italy had sent a naval warship to protect the passengers but backed off before the Israeli soldiers removed the crews with automatic weapons. Italy had mass demonstrations supporting the flotilla for a week before the seizure, and that night tens of thousands flooded the streets in protest across the country. An interview with journalist and Cambridge lecturer Alina Trabattoni .

From CUBA- Trump is negotiating a $20 billion bailout for Argentina. Widespread sanctions were reinstated against Iran at the UN security Council. The Israeli military continues to assault the Gaza Strip while 453 Palestinians have starved to death.
