Bangladesh: after Sheikh Hasina
Manage episode 433467734 series 1519199
The Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, has resigned following weeks of deadly protests, and a heavy government crackdown. Samira Hussain is in Dhaka and spoke to people about their experience of her autocratic rule.
It was the biggest prisoner swap since the Cold War: sixteen Russian dissidents, Germans and Americans were released in exchange for a convicted assassin and seven other Russians held in the West. Sarah Rainsford has reported on the activities of the Russian dissidents for many years and she reflects on her correspondence with Vladimir Kara Murza in prison, and his first big interview since his release.
Critical to any presidential candidate’s chances of clinching victory in November's US election, are the swing states. Wisconsin is one of these, and, along with Georgia and Arizona, had the tightest vote margins in the last election. James Helm was in Door County where he found out what locals were thinking as the country prepares for the final straight of the election campaign.
In Brazil, an ex-model and social media influencer was recently sentenced to 8 years in prison for the human trafficking and slave labour of a woman. Jack Garland describes interviewing her in the high-security prison just before her sentence was passed.
It's almost a year since a 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, killing more than 2 000 people. Proinsias O’Coinn spoke to some of the people about their memories of that day, and, amid the destruction and tragedy, found some cause for hope.
