"Biased and politically motivated" -- that's how the former prime minister of Bangladesh has described her conviction for crimes against humanity.

Greg Stoker, U.S. military veteran and host of Colonial Outcasts, joins the show to discuss the growing scandal over deadly U.S. strikes on alleged “drug boats” in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, including a September 2 attack that killed 11 and a follow-up strike on survivors that Trump’s own legal experts say could be a war crime. He will discuss “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth’s attempt at blame-shifting to Admiral Mitch Bradley, and how these extrajudicial killings reflect the export of War on Terror tactics to Latin America as Trump intensifies threats against Venezuela.

"A journey of suffering". That's how a Palestinian man described his transfer from Gaza, through Israel and Kenya, to South Africa. A journey so desperate that Palestinians paid thousands of dollars to leave their homes without knowing where they were going. A journey forced by more than two years of Israel's genocide.

So, do these flights set a precedent for forced transfers — and signal a push towards the mass expulsion of Palestinians?
