Hello and welcome to the Monday Breakfast show. On today's episode: Headlines - 55 people arrested at Palestine Action group protest in London- Victoria's first Native Title claim passed in state for Millewa Mallee- Blak Up! Rest Reconnect and Organise for change. Read more about the program here. The show begins with a segment from the Women On The Line show, in which host Xen Nhà speaks with scholar Carolyn D'Cruz and librarian and archivist Clare O'Hanlon about gender in academia and archives as well as transphobia and the 'manosphere'. The segment originally aired on the 23rd of June this year. This conversation was ahead of the pair's appearance at the Researching Our Culture talk at Victoria's premier LGBTQIA+ literature festival Q-Lit. It is important to acknowledge white supremacy's role in creating transphobia as transphobes the world over continue to react to gender diverse people as something that is new and generational, rather than simply a set of identities which has always existed, the history of which is being erased by colonial projects. As such, this conversation of preserving gender identities within archives is hugely important. Women On The Line airs from 8:30 to 9 on Monday mornings. To listen to the full conversation click here and more from the amazing Women On The Line crew go to 3cr.org.au/womenonthelineFollowing that we hear an excerpt from the latest episode of the Peoples History of Australia podcast titled 'Resistance on the line: the radical history of telephone operators'.

Hello and welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for Monday the 14th of July 2025. On today's show: Headlines: French parliament recognises 'New Caledonia' as its own state despite Indigenous Kanak resistance. NDIA admits to removing participant from scheme following participant's alleged criticism of scheme on social media Last Monday members of the Allan government met with what's called the 'anti-hate task force' in response to a number of events around so-called Melbourne, including an attack on a synagogue and continued protest against genocide in Palestine and ties to Israel. Both the Allan government and multiple media outlets such as The Age, the Herald Sun and the ABC were quick to conflate these events as anti-Semitic in yet another attempt to stifle criticism of Israel, the Victorian government, and other entities which have partnered with the Zionist settler-colony. The Monday Breakfast show was joined by Ohad Kozminsky, executive member of the Jewish Council of Australia, an independent Jewish voice supporting human rights and opposing antisemitism and racism, to speak about the task force and the false conflation of anti-genocide protest with anti-Semitism. Edmi spoke with Ian Hamm about the Yoorrook Justice Commission report and its findings, the responsibilities of First Nations people and settlers alike in pushing for First Nations sovereignty and land back, as well as using a framework of looking to the future when taking part in the struggle. Ian is a Yorta Yorta man who has been actively involved in the Victorian Indigenous community in a personal and professional capacity for over 30 years. He has had a wide exposure to, and led, policy reform and program implementation for both the State and Federal Governments at executive level, mostly notably in Aboriginal Affairs. Since 2000, Ian has been a board member of a range of NFP’s, including a number as Chair. He has led some of these organisations through change and adaption to ensure they are well placed for the challenges of improving the lives of people in a rapid changing environment. Ian is Chairperson of the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation, First Nations Foundation, and President of the Community Broadcasting Foundation up until a couple of weeks. He is also a Board Director on The Healing Foundation, Yarra Valley Water, and Aboriginal Housing Victoria. Ian is also a sessional panel member on the Australian Financial Complaints Authority and Planning Panels Victoria.

The show ends with a conversation between Edmi and Emily, one of the editors from Dissolution Magazine, a local radical print publication. (Dis)solution creates and publishes work to unravel the knots of injustice in the post-end-of-history Anthropocene.

The exhibit presents works by Vernon Ah Kee, Gordon Bennett, Destiny Deacon, Julie Dowling, Jimmy Pike and Judy Watson addressing the overrepresentation of First Nations people within the carceral system and the crisis of deaths in custody here in so-called australia. These works are shown alongside pieces created by former and currently incarcerated First Nations people via the Torch program to bolster connection to Country and culture.

Hello and welcome to the Monday Breakfasts show, on today's show:Interview with Nadia Gavin from Harm Reduction Victoria about keeping safe while using drugs, stigma, upcoming workshops and more In response to the recent 9 news report — first on 60 minutes, then The Age and other Fairfax outlets, spearheaded by Nick McKenzie — Monday Breakfast spoke to members of Defend The Unions, Defend The CFMEU. Last August, the CFMEU faced baseless allegations by Fairfax Media, leading to the reactionary measure by Albanese's Federal ALP government: to put the — not only the Victorian branch — but all CFMEU branches along the eastern coast of the continent into a government-approved administration. Hundreds of democratically-elected CFMEU were subsequently sacked on the spot with no right to reply. Esther Van Arend, an outspoken critic of the administration and staunch advocate for workers' rights in the union, was sacked under questionable circumstances after speaking to journalist Nick McKenzie outside a coburg cinema late last year.

On Wednesday last week the Victorian Government announced it would toughen bail laws to make them the toughest in so-called Australia. Within these laws, the Allan government plans to reintroduce the offence of committing an indictable crime while on bail -- which was scrapped in 2023 following the coronial inquest into the death of Gunditjmara, Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung and Wiradjuri woman Veronica Nelson in custody. The coronial inquest found that Victoria's bail laws were a 'complete and unmitigated disaster' that disproportionately impacted First Nations people, women and children. Maggie Munn, First Nations Justice Director at the Human Rights Law Centre and proud Gunggari advocate from south-west Queensland joined us on the show to speak about these harmful bail laws. Maggie is deeply committed to ending the mass incarceration of their people, and has spent many years as an advocate and campaigning on First Nations children, raising the minimum age of criminal responsibility, and youth justice.Tomorrow at 4:30pm there will be a snap action for Poccum's Law outside Parliament Steps, organised by Flat Out.- The show ends with a conversation with Jay Coonan, spokesperson for the Antipoverty Centre and a jobseeker recipient.

As part of that broadcast, Pauline Vetuna spoke with El Gibbs about the anticapitalist roots of the social model of disability, disability doulas, the expertise of disabled people regarding care, patriarchal devaluing of the gendered care economy, and strategies for collective organising past, present and future. El Gibbs is a disabled person living on Wiradjuri Country, and is the deputy CEO of Disability Advocacy Network Australia.

Welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for Monday October 28th, 2024. Last week, Eric spoke with Myles Russell-Cook about Reko Rennie's REKOSPECTIVE exhibition at The Ian Potter Centre, NGV Australia in Fed Square. The pair spoke about the exhibition, the importance of platforming Indigenous artists, toxic masculinity as well as art being inherently political. This Saturday, there was an anti-military rally on the Geelong waterfront organised by IPAN Geelong & Vic Southwest, and Elbit out of Vic (an initiative of Free Palestine Coalition Naarm), denouncing the push by ALL levels of Government to make Geelong a Military hub under the guise of 'job creation'. We will now hear from Zelda Grimshaw, an antimilitarist organiser with 'Wage Peace/Disrupt Wars' and a core organiser at the recent Disrupt Land Forces mobilisation. Zelda zooms out to discuss links between militarism and climate collapse from a decolonial perspective - bringing us the personal story of Wity Unue, a young man from the highlands of West Papua.The speech mentions an article about Wity's story, which includes the video of him singing with his friends prior to his murder. [CW* This segment makes mention of military violence]. On Wednesday of last week around 300 workers from the Qantas Engineers Alliance, a coalition of workers from the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union, the Electrical Trades Union, and the Australian Workers Union, walked off the job for 24 hours. The strike is part of industrial action that the Qantas Engingeers' Alliance has been taking for weeks and was a response to Qantas' refusal to discuss a new enterprise agreement with the alliance. The current enterprise agreement expirence at the end of June; the alliance is asking for a 5 per cent per year pay rise as well as a 13.5 per cent first-year increase to compensate for three and a half years of wage freezes and to align wage levels with elsewhere in the industry. To talk about the action and the wider campaign for better conditions and wages for workers in the Qantas Engineers' Alliance, Rob spoke with Michael Wright, National Secretary of the ETU on Friday. NSW Police have conducted almost 900 strip searches at train stations since 2016, data released by Redfern Legal Centre last week has revealed. Of the 883 strip searches conducted, a disproportionate number were conducted on First Nations people, making up 9% of all searches. A total of 66 searches involved children aged between 10 and 17. To speak more about the data and the legality of the searches, Rob spoke with Sam Lee, supervising solicitor at Redfern Legal Centre. A class action filed by Inner Melbourne Community Legal launches today to find answers about why the Victorian Government made its decision to 'retire and redevelop' 44 public housing buildings across the state. Lead plaintiff Barry Berih argues that the Victorian Government did not properly consider the human rights of residents when making its decision to demolish the towers. To find out more about the class action Rob interviewed Harry Millward, General Secretary of the Renters and Housing Union. The class action will be taking place today and tomorrow at the Supreme Court on Lonsdale St, with the residents requesting for Community Members to come down in support if possible.

Welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for the 7th of October 2024, dedicated entirely to speaking about Palestine, Palestinian resistance, and contextualising October 7th 2023 within a larger history of Israel's apartheid and genocide against Palestine. In this show you'll hear: First up today, we will be listening to the first article from Issue Three of The Sunday Paper, and about the events of October 7th and the Palestinian Resistance doctrine. These topics are of particular importance to Issue Three, in which the editorial statement states “While outwardly supportive of Palestinian rights, and perhaps even self described as radically anti-colonial, many progressive publishers, platforms and organisations will quietly erase words like ‘martyr’ or ‘intifada’ and will quickly withdraw their support at the mention of armed liberation struggle”.You can go back and listen to the full editorial statement in the introductory episode, for a complete explanation of Issue Three’s conceptual basis here. The piece we are featuring today, titled 'Tarakum' was written by a Palestinian PhD candidate in political science who wrote this analysis on the events of October 7 2023, under the pseudonym ‘Nabil Mustafa’. Read by Jeanine Mohanned, and with theme music from DOBBY, and includes the track the track ‘Liberation of Palestine’, performed by Bilal and Khader Al-Ahmad. This episode was produced on Wurundjeri land, which was invaded, stolen and remains under occupation. Colonial violence continues as does Indigenous Resistance. Support the project by subscribing to their substack and gaining full access to their podcasts.Following that, Rob had an extended interview with Mai Saif, local Palestinian organiser who has been campaigning and fighting for justice for over a decade. They spoke about the Free Palestine movement here in Naarm, how life has changed for Palestinian activists over the past year, and what it has been like to organise a year of consistent rallies advocating for a free Palestine. We then hear speeches from the Sunday Free Palestine Rally on the 6th of October: Senator Lidia Thorpe spoke on the parallels between Palestinian and Australia Aboriginal genocide, before giving the floor to her uncle, Uncle Robbie Thorpe for an unexpected speech after spending 3 weeks in hospital. After, fellow Aboriginal activist and academic Professor Gary Foley took to the stage with a scathing rebuke of Australian Government hypocrisy.Finally, Rob spoke with Esther from the Flood The Post Campaign, which is a push to send as many physical postcards to MPs around this continent in order to pressure them to take meaningful action on Palestine. You can find out more about their campaign here and pick up a Flood The Post postcard at the reception desk of 3CR at 21 Smith Street in 'Fitzroy' during business hours. The show ends with a list of community announcements, mostly based around October 7th: Monday night from 6pm: Vigil for Gaza to commemorate the first anniversary of the first bombs dropped on Gaza in Israel's current genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people. October 7 2023 also marks the first day Israel transformed Gaza from an 'open-air prison' into a 'graveyard for children'. No ministers, no Victorian Premier, no Prime Minister will join this multifaith, multicultural vigil. Wear your kufiya, wear black and respect the silent procession which starts at the Marquis of Linlithgow monument, corner of Anzac Avenue, and St Kilda Rd from 6pm sharp.There will also be a vigil this Friday the 11th of October at Federation Square from 6:30pm.

Hello and welcome to another iteration of the Monday Breakfast show on 3CR Community Radio for the 30th of September 2024. First up we will hear part of an interview from last Wednesday's Bunjil's Fire show in which President of the Black Peoples Union Keiran Stewart-Assheton speaks with Uncle Faron Peckham about the Northern Territory government's intention to build an art gallery on culturally significant land in Mparntwe (Alice Springs).

F35s are currently being used to drop bombs in Palestine, Yemen, and Lebanon -- to name just a few places. Rob spoke with an anonymous attendee ahead of the picket to unpack AW Bell's response to previous pickets, its inclusion of Lockheed Martin's mentorship program, and the local community's response to learning AW Bell is complicit in genocides. The picket takes place at 145 Abbotts Road in Dandenong from 5AM. Stay tuned for next week's show which will be wholly dedicated to talking about Palestinian resistance and contextualising October 7th within a larger history of Israel's genocidal conquest of Palestine.Songs played: Going up the Mountain (Ya Taali’een ‘ala el-Jabal) - Reem Kelani No Warning - Inkabee ft.

Welcome to another iteration of the Monday Breakfast show, broadcasted live from 3CR Community Radio in Naarm./Melbourne. Last week the Victorian Government under Jacinta Allan backflipped on its promise to raise the age of criminal responsibility to 14 in so-called Victoria as part of its Youth Justice legislation passed this week. It is worth mentioning that the move coincides with the Country Liberal Party in 'Northern Territory' pledging to reinstate spit hoods and lower its own age of criminal responsibility to 10; in 'Western Australia' a seventeen-year-old Indigenous teenager died in Banksia Hill Detention Centre, marking the second death of a child in custody in the state in less than a year. To help us unpack the legislation introduced here in Victoria, Rob spoke with Monique Hurley, Associate Legal Director at the Human Rights Law Centre. Speeches from the Sunday Free Palestine Rally on the 25th of August:Legendary Aboriginal activist Uncle Robbie Thorpe gave a passionate speech about colonialism, racism and the parallels between Australia and Palestine. Audio captured by Tom McLaren. City of Melbourne Councillor Jamal Hakim spoke on his campaign for Lord Mayor, committing to disclosing all campaign donations in real time.We then hear Christy Cain speaking at the CFMEU mobilisation against "independent" government administration on Tuesday 27th August, outside Fair Work Commission offices in Exhibition St. The crowd stretched from the corner of Flinders and Exhibition down to Trades Hall. On Tuesday last week supermarket giant Coles announced its annual financial results, reporting a post-tax profit of $1.1billion, an increase of 2.1 percent from the year before. Despite this, Coles Group's Chief Executive Leah Weckert continues to insist that household financial pressure is 'front of mind' and defends the company's profit margins. To help us understand more about the conditions in which a supermarket makes so much money, Rob spoke with the Secretary of the Retail and Fast Food Workers Union, Josh Cullinan.Songs played: Radical Seed - Catherine SatourTook the Children Away - Archie RoachWhite Tears (Land Back) - Eden Fine DayAnother War (Feat.

Hello and welcome to another iteration of the Monday Breakfast show with Rob and Eric. This episode features: An interview from Yeah Nah Pasaran on Thursday 8th August in which Cam and Andy speak with Aurelien Mondon (lecturer in politics at University of Bath, and co-convener of Reactionary Politics Research Network) about racist rioting in the UK and Belfast in the wake of the murders in Southport. You can catch Yeah Nah Pasaran, 4:30pm Thursdays on 3CR, and listen back the the full interview with Aurelien by heading to their program page. On Saturday the 16th of August between an estimated 150 people attended a counterprotest on the steps of the Victorian Parliament to disrupt an event held by TERF and founder of the Women's Action Group Michelle Uriaru. A heavy police presence asserted their dominance by preventing the counterprotesters, a group of trans people, allies, and anti-fascists, from getting too close to the crowd of transphobes. However, the counterprotesters were able to disrupt the event by not only outnumbering the terfs but also playing music which the counterprotesters would dance to. To help capture the moments of Queer and Trans Joy in the crowd at that counterprotest, Rob spoke to a few of its attendees. The first was recorded while the counterprotest was happening outside state parliament; the second was recorded at Fitzroy Park, where the TERFs were supposed to mobilize following their 'rally' but didn't for reasons unknown.On Monday 5th August, Karina sat down with Jeremy Poxon from the Australian Unemployed Workers Union, in Coburg Mall.They discuss the day's intended activities (leafletting Coburg's welfare recipients attending some of the area's worst-rated Job Service Providers), plus a look at the Govt Inquiry into Workforce Aus, so-called 'mutual' obligations, the AUWU's campaigns and initiatives around welfare rights, and more. The AUWU National Advocacy Hotline is open Monday to Friday 10 AM - 2 PM AEDT,Ph: (03) 9811 7064 or (freecall) 1800 289 848. To hear the full interview, catch Wednesday's City Limits show from 9 - 10AM. From the 8th to the 14th of September the biggest weapons expo in so-called Australia will take place at the Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre. Its existence hasn't attracted much attention in the mainstream media, despite the fact that companies supporting genocides will be there. However, the planned disruption, as listeners will have undoubtedly heard about through announcements on 3CR, has. To speak more about the event and coverage of the planned disruption, Rob spoke with Nat Farah, an organiser for Disrupt Wars.Last week researched released by the Grounded Community Land Trust Advocacy provided insight into exactly how Airbnb is compounding housing shortages and pushing rental prices beyond the reach of people both across the globe and here in 'Australia'. To find out how the global conglomerate does so, Rob talked with Karl Fitzgerald, Managing Director of Grounded Community Land Trust Advocacy and former 3CR broadcaster. Songs played: 'Black Magic' - Baker Boy ft. Dallas Woods'Rebel Girl' - Bikini Kill
Welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for Monday the 12th of August, 2024. On Monday of last week Homelessness Australia released its Child Homelessness Snapshot, illuminating the state of the growing crisis in this continent. To help us dissect the snapshot's results, Rob spoke with CEO of Homelessness Australia, Kate Colvin. New data released by the Productivity Commission reveals the rate of Indigenous children in out-of-home care in so-called Victoria rose from 102.2 children per 1,000 to 102.9 per 1,000 in the 12 months leading up to the end of the 2023 financial year. This represents 10 percent of Indigenous children in so-called Victoria and is nearly double the national average; Indigenous children in 'Victoria' are 22 times more likely to be in out-of-home care than non-Indigenous children. To learn more about the conditions creating this crisis as well as the Productivity Commission's findings, we heard from Yoorrook Justice Commission's Deputy Chair and Commissioner Sue-Ann Hunter. Listeners are encouraged to read the recommendations made by the Yoorrook Justice Commission and to make submissions (click here). On Friday the 9th of August the NSW Labor Party delayed hearing amendments to Equality legislation which would protect LGBTQI+ students in the state until October. The move came days before the bill was set to lapse after not being heard in Parliament. To find out more about the bill and its amendments, Rob interviewed Quay Quay of Pride in Protest, an activist collective who campaign for social justice in the Queer community and beyond. To keep up to date with what Pride in Protest is doing, follow their Instagram. On Tuesday the 6th of August around 60 asylum seekers launched a 24/7 protest outside incoming Immigration Minister Tony Burke's office in protest of the estimated 10,000 asylum seekers who are victims of the failed fast track system, which has left people stuck for up to 12 years as they wait on bridging or expired visas. To get an update on the protest, Rob spoke with Thamilselvan Selvakumar who is on the ground outside Tony Burke's office. Thamilselvan is a Sri Lankan Eelam Tamil Refugee who has been in limbo for 12 years on a bridging visa.

Welcome to another iteration of the Monday Breakfast show, broadcasted from 3CR on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. The episode begins with two speeches from the Free Palestine rally on the 23rd of June: First up is Hijrah Ahmad of Anak Bangsa Merdeka "Children of Free Nations" Collective on the need for decolonisation, and the precedent set by Western powers in allowing Israel to commit its genocide of the Palestinian people. Hijrah spoke from the infamous truck used as a stage for all Free Palestine rallies in Naarm — this week it was parked at an intersection on Swanston Street along the rally route. Organisers were unable to park it at the State Library due to being blocked by police and other authorities. Following that we hear from Prue Stevenson, a Disability Activist, Artist and Change Agent on the steps of Vic Parliament.

Welcome to another iteration of the Monday Breakfast show. Our first segment is dedicated to Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old non-binary child who died on February 8th following a brutal, transphobic assault in the halls of their own school. In the wake of their death, we as a community and a society must mourn for those lost to transphobic violence across the globe and reflect on how we can protect Queer and Trans youth to ensure they live full lives and become Queer and Trans elders. This is the first part of an interview from 26th of February show in which Rob spoke with Annette Brömdal, co-author of the review titled: ‘Supporting the health and wellbeing of trans autistic school-aged youth: a systematic literature review’.

This Saturday, the 22nd of June marks one year of inaction by the Victorian Government in making trams running along Sydney Rd, and across all of Naarm, accessible for all. The Sydney Road Accessible Tram Stops Now has been pushing for the 5.5km stretch of tramline to be made accessible before construction of the Sky Rail level crossing removals on the Upfield line begins. Once the construction begins, there will be no accessible public transport at all along the Upfield corridor for at least 18 months. To continue to pressure the Victorian Government, the campaign will rally on the corner of Wilson Av. and Sydney Rd in so-called Brunswick at 11AM.

Following that we hear a segment from the 18th of March in which Rob spoke to Damien O'Meara about representation of LGBTQI+ people on TV screens and how it's changed since the 1970s. The interview is based on a study published in Sage Journals which revealed the much-needed data surrounding Queer representation within scripted television across so-called Australia over the past two decades. During the interview, Rob dissected the study and the trends it uncovered with one of the study’s authors, Damien O’Meara, who is a television production culture researcher completing his PhD at Swinburne University of Technology. His research investigates the influence of production culture processes on gender and sexually diverse representations in Australian scripted television. The interview mentions an article from The Conversation about the study. You can listen to the full conversation here.Next up Rob is joined by Harry, the General Secretary of the Renters and Housing Union. The pair spoke about the fight for housing justice, the portrayal of the housing crisis within the media, and how 3CR platforms diverse voices that are so often missed elsewhere in the media.

Welcome to another iteratoin of the Monday Breakfast show, broadcasted from the 3CR studio in so-called Fitzroy, Naarm/so-called Melbourne. On today's show you'll hear: Palestinian Activist Nour Salman and Activist and UniMelb Academic Prof Tony Birch, Nakba Day rally outside Victorian Parliament, speaking about the banning of the Kuffiyeh, Solidarity, and supporting the student encampments. On Nakba Day following this speech, hundreds of community members gathered outside the Victorian Parliament to watch a debate -brought on by a community-led petitio - about Victorian Labor’s continued partnership with the Israeli Defence Ministry and Elbit Systems — Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer. Since Parliament had closed the gallery to the public, people watched the debate live, on a projector on parliament steps. It should be noted that Labor did not put forward any speakers for the debate — and rather than tabling the community petition, it was ultimately rejected altogether with contributions from the Liberal Party, National Party. Then you'll hear Zoe's conversation with Jia of the Work Without Barriers team at Fitzroy Legal Service. They were speaking about the Living and Lived Experience and Peer Work Job Expo, which is taking place on Friday the 24th of May at the Fitzroy Town Hall from 10:30AM to 1:30PM. This event is an incredible opportunity to hear directly from others with lived and living experience who are now working across the community sector, to learn about their roles and the pathways they took to get settled into their careers. The event is kid-friendly and wheelchair accessible. Following that we play the second part of a conversation between Grace and Rabia, the founder of the social group Covid Conscious Queers Naarm. This is part two of their discussion on what covid safe gatherings and connections look like, and why covid safe spaces for queer people, and for all people, are essential.

The cost of a 12-minute phone call (the maximum duration which is allowed) from a Victorian prison to a mobile phone is nearly $7. For context, people in prison earn between $3.55 and $9.60 per day for their work. To coincide with Mother's Day, a coalition of organisations have penned a letter to Treasurer Tim Pallas, the Minister for Corrections, Enver Erdogan, and the Minister for Children, Lizzie Blandthorn. Rob spoke with Abigail Lewis about said letter.

On Thursday last week the NSW government released a discussion paper to allow for feedback on policy changes they see as potential fixes for the state’s housing crisis, specifically its lack of housing supply. Currently around 56,000 people are waiting for social housing in the state, with a shortfall of what the NSW government calls ‘221,000 social house dwellings’. We also know that in since 2019, advertised prices of long-term rentals increased by 38%; and that in December 2023, vacancy rates in Greater Sydney were at a mere 1.7%, below the decade’s average of 2.3%.

Channel Nine has recently been defending itself against accusations it intentionally altered a photo of Animal Justice Party MP Georgie Purcell to make it more revealing. The news organisation claimed the edit was not a human error but rather due to AI’s automation within Photoshop. Rob sat down with Dr TJ Thomson, senior lecturer at RMIT, to see how credible Channel Nine’s claim is.

Australian Military defense programs and bases in the pacific region, the USA and China's compete with each other by strategically positioning Navy and Military in the pacific sea and surrounding counties, however this is taking away from climate change goals.

She goes on to discuss the Human right violations under the Marcos family. Jan speaks with Tim Anderson with an update on the situation in Ukraine and the connection between the CIA and the Biden family. Hunter Biden's (Biden's son) was involved in some sort of energy deal in the Ukraine, which poured money into the country with the potential intent to turn the bordering country into a future weapon against Russia. The CIA conducted military training programs in 2014/2015 in different parts of the Ukraine. This program included sniper training, warfare and operational training. The CIA were training and preparing the Ukraine with skills for combat, against a much larger more equipped force. The motive of the U.S to conduct this training was to prepare theUkraine against threats with the clear intent to weaken Russian forces. Surrounding Eastern European, Scandinavian and ex soviet union countries look to join NATO for protection against a potentially threatening Russia. Resources such as food and fuel are becoming more difficult for many countries to access due to the Russian invasion. Annie provides us with voices from a recent on-line rally around the use of the insidious ECT, Energy Charter Treaty, to gouge money from countries putting in legislation to protect the environment. We look at the UK Union Caucus meeting that discussed the upcoming COP27 meetings. This feature is about an online rally against the energy charter treaty, which is set up to extract money from countries who are putting in legislation to protect the environment.Activists are concerned that this allows organisations to sue countries for billions of dollars through a mechanism called investor state dispute settlement or ISDS, if countries take climate action that affects corporate profits. Activists urge this treaty to stop as it is holding our climate action back, the ECT allows companies with interest in resources such as fossil fuel to sue countries for millions if climate change policies are affecting profits. Although financial consequences are high, activists urge countries to leave the treaty as we are in a climate crisis. More about the campaign to stop ISDS from the group waronwant.org
