Iran is bracing for the possibility of another round of U.S. and Israeli attacks now that the midterm elections are over. The war has driven inflation to almost 90 percent in Iran and has also damaged natural gas infrastructure, forcing people to conserve energy as winter sets in or face higher prices. But despite all these hardships many Iranians still support the Islamic Republic. We hear from some of them.

Kherson is a city in southern Ukraine whose population numbered in the hundreds of thousands before Russia’s invasion of the country. Just a fraction of those people live there today.
Russia occupied Kherson for a few months in the early days of the war and ever since Russian forces withdrew across the Dnipro River, the city has largely been under siege with frequent shelling and drone attacks. But a limited ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine this past weekend gave residents of Kherson a break from fighting. Allowing them to walk the streets and see friends again.
We go to a temporarily peaceful Kherson to hear how residents are living under the constant threat of bombing and drone attacks.

Many places in the Persian Gulf like Dubai, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, have spent decades modernizing and inviting investment from around the world. But that effort has been stymied by wars that have landed on their doorstep– including conflicts in Yemen and Iran.
We go to Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh, to hear how these wars are threatening the kingdom’s plans for the future. And we hear how other Gulf states are worried about the possibility of renewed attacks on Iran and the retaliation that could follow.

Politician, activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado has returned to Venezuela. She led the opposition to authoritarian leader Nicholas Maduro and fled Venezuela in 2025 after more than a year in hiding.
This is Machado’s first time back in her country following the U.S. arrest of Maduro in January. We hear how her presence is putting pressure on the U.S.-backed Venezuelan regime to hold elections.
And with this year’s ‘super El Nino’ expected to bring flash floods and landslides to Kenya, thousands of workers in Nairobi have been preparing. A youth employment group called the Green Army is clearing drainage systems and waterways to try and prevent flooding this winter. But there are tradeoffs to this large-scale cleanup effort.

Israel has held an important election– its first since the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attacks on that country.
The vote is a referendum on the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyhu who was in power when the attacks occurred and presided over the military responses that followed. And so far, there is no clear winner.
With more than half the votes counted neither Netanyahu nor his center-right challenger Gadi Eisenkot have the majority needed to form a government. We hear what happens now and an analysis of what it means.

Chinese manufacturers have not had it easy these past few years, with U.S. tariffs as well as the wars in Ukraine and Iran pushing up their costs and shrinking profits.
But there is one sector that is thriving despite all of this, the manufacturers of this Chinese tile-game, called mahjong. It’s been trending in the U.S. and that has given a boost to one mahjong manufacturing hub.
We go to eastern China to understand the global implications of this trend.

In the Israeli occupied West Bank, dozens of Americans have been detained, including a politician running for Congress.
Settler violence and detentions by the Israeli military have been on the rise for years in the Palestinian territory, which is occupied by Israel. But according to two Israeli lawyers, this is the largest mass detention of activists there in a decade.
A team from NPR witnessed the detention of a group made up primarily of American and Israeli rabbis, activists and U.S. Democratic congressional nominee Brad Lander. They had been helping Palestinian families harvest their olives to try to prevent attacks by Israeli settlers.
We hear from our reporter who witnessed the event and one of the American rabbis who was detained.

Ukraine finds itself in a difficult situation. It has endured increased airstrikes from Russia, especially in the capital Kyiv.
One way the country fights back is by hitting Russian energy infrastructure, a way to deny Russia the money it needs to conduct the war. But President Trump has blamed those strikes on the high cost of diesel in the United States. He has pressured Ukraine to stop its attacks and he has temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian diesel.
In today’s episode we hear from Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, about his relationship with President Trump, whether Ukraine is to blame for energy prices, and what he thinks a path to peace looks like.

This week marks twenty five years since the United States invaded Afghanistan, on October 7th, 2001. It was less than a month after the September 11th attacks and President George W. Bush vowed swift revenge. And the U.S. did quickly oust the Taliban– the Islamist group controlling the country– over its support for and harboring of Osama bin Laden and his militant group al Qaeda, blamed for the deadly attacks on U.S. soil.
But the war itself was far from quick, lasting 20 years. U.S. troops remained on Afghan soil until August, 2021 when the Taliban again retook Kabul amid a somewhat chaotic U.S. exit.
On today’s episode we hear what life in Afghanistan is like now and try to understand how its people are dealing with the legacy of the conflict that began a quarter century ago.
