This kid needed challenging more on his use of the word "native".
So there's nothing anyone can do; but the Haitian people are reeds and can't be broken...at least I go away feeling positive...thanks Guardian 🤢 Why not get somebody with ideas to come and discuss?! The Guardian seems to often fall short of analysis. Disappointing.
So you mention who is donating to trump and what they will be wanting in return but completely fail to mention who is donating to Kamala….and she’s raised twice as much. So i guess they want nothing in return and not worthy of any scrutiny?
What a shocking story... Thank you Ahmed for sharing your story. Israel is a terrorist state... This shouldn't be happening to your people.
Xc Fsr🙁🗾🧥🤑😈
Great podcast with very well articulated viewpoints
This bloke is deluded. "The worst kind of discrimination is people pointing at all the male Lords in the House of Lords and daying it's discriminatory". I can't believe he said that without bursting into laughter.
Black box? I wish it were about the investigation of plane crashes! I'd be more interested. 😉
I felt like this was the most biased piece of reporting I've heard on this channel in years. The interviewee is clearly a huge KH fan and it was more than evident in every thing that was said. I do expect more neutral reporting from this channel and hope that interviewees are selected with more care.
Inflection, inflection, inflection!! Please tell your reporters NOT to use upward Infection in their speech. It's not nice to listen to and is not the way grown ups discuss important issues. PLEASE
I hope they get what they wish for. I'm not interested in the complaining afterwards.
We do NOT have a proportional representation system in Australia for our lower house (equivalent to the British House of Commons), we have PREFERENTIAL voting. It means that if the person you voted for doesn't come 1st or 2nd, the preference you put on your ballot paper sends your vote to another candidate. SMITH first on primary, JONES second but I voted for BROWN. If I numbered JONES as 2, my vote goes to JONES. If I put SMITH as 2, my vote goes to SMITH. Much better system than FirstPastPost!
stop giving this nasty bigot any coverage
insightful and entertaining as always
Please try not to have this 'water reporter' person speaking on your podcast again. The skreechy pitch is really infuriating! If it's not - bad enough? that she breaks her sentences? where there are no real breaks? and her intonation - goes UP! at the end? of each part? as if she's asking quetions after questions? Please have mercy on your listeners earp holes and quest for sanity! Richard Splash
I was hoping to find out that Hannah was creates by AI too. I find this all so disheartening.
top series. I hope Saldo rot in prison for the rest of his worthless life. Slava Ukrajini
that's a great quote, Thanx formaat l for that
The scale of transformation of everybody's lives that is going to be necessary in order to combat the climate crisis has not yet been fully grasped.
Considering the importance of race to this story it seems strange you didn't acknowledge the race of the victim nor perpetrator directly early in the report. Is 'white' the default unless stated otherwise?
