Who Controls the Arms Trade? | Inside Story

When it comes to global arms deals the scenes play out formulaically - politicians shaking hands, press releases are issued and an astronomical amount of money is spent. What is not mentioned so much is the companies that profit from the mega-deals. And are they complicit if government buyers commit serious human rights abuses with the weapons they've sold.

Whether it is warplanes and ships, missiles, tanks and guns of all sizes - the international arms is big business in every sense. Amnesty International says military expenditure for countries world-wide in 2016 was $1.7t - $375b of that on buying arms specifically.

The United States, China, France, Russia and the UK sell more than 70 percent of all weapons. And they are all permanent members of the UN Security Council - the world body charged with maintaining international peace and security. So, with thousands killed everyday, is it possible for governments to control powerful companies that dominate the global weapons market?

US Government Shutdown: Senate Fails to Reach Immigration Deal

The anniversary of President Trump's inauguration has been marked by a government shutdown, after the Senate failed to agree on a spending bill. It will try again early on Monday to vote for a deal, with immigration the main sticking point. Republicans and Democrats are blaming each other for the deadlock, but public appears to be focusing on the president - with #trumpshutdown trending on social media.

US Government Shutdown: Who's to Blame? | Inside Story

Who's to blame for the US government shut down? Donald Trump's first year anniversary as US President will certainly go down in history.

It was the day the government shut down after Congress failed to back a bill to fund federal agencies. Hundreds of thousands of government workers are affected. Some will stay home because their offices will be closed. Others will work without pay.

Republicans and Democrats blame each other for not reaching a last minute deal. Talks broke down over issues related to immigrants and border security. So, what will happen next? And what does it mean for Trump's administration?

Josef Mengele - The Hunt for a Nazi Criminal | DW Documentary

Few Nazis were as notorious and gruesome as doctor Josef Mengele. But who was Mengele and how did he manage to disappear after WWII until his death in 1979?

After the end of WWII, Josef Mengele managed to escape Germany. Despite a global manhunt by Mossad and the allies, Mengele would die a free man, 34 years later, in Brazil. Josef Mengele, the doctor responsible for horrific experiments on living human beings in Auschwitz, the man who had selected the prisoners he wanted while sending thousands of others directly to the gas chambers, was considered one of the most wanted Nazi war criminals. Although the German government was aware of his whereabouts he lived undetected in Germany until 1948 and under his own name in Argentina until 1959. It was not until that year that German prosecutors issued an arrest warrant. Mengele first moved to Paraguay, then to São Paulo in Brazil. In particular, the Israeli intelligence service Mossad was after him and twice he only narrowly managed to escape its agents. But who was Josef Mengele? How was he able to go to ground after the end of the Second World War and lead a new life without being recognized? Our documentary reconstructs his life and talk to family members and acquaintances - as well as experts who draw a psychological profile of the so-called "Angel of Death of Auschwitz.”

This is a last chance. That is the message US President Donald Trump has sent out after extending sanctions relief to Iran.

He has aggressively warned European allies he would withdraw from the 2015 nuclear agreement altogether if his demands to change it are not met. Trump has publicly branded the deal before and during his presidency as the 'worst ever'.

Iran says his announcement is a 'desperate attempt to undermine a solid multilateral agreement' that is not 'renegotiable'. In the middle of all of this are European leaders who have essentially said to Trump: either back the deal or come up with a better one. But can this deal be re-negotiated?

The Secret Jews of Berlin | World War 2 Documentary | Timeline

It is commonly assumed that most Jews in Germany during the Second World War were exterminated, worked to death or saved ‘Schindler style’ by Gentiles.

A surprisingly high number from one city defied the odds and saved themselves. The Jews who survived in Berlin were vibrant, devious, clever and very, very lucky. Five of them tell their stories and reveal their survival techniques. Cantankerous, egotistical and irresistible, the outstanding spirit that helped them survive is still undimmed. This programme is more than just a wartime human interest story. It seeks to show that not all wartime Jews were passive, obedient victims. They were real people who knew how to fight back.

Inside Story - Does Egypt Support Donald Trump's Jerusalem Move?

After US President Donald Trump recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital, the condemnation from the Arab world was swift and strong. But is everyone on board? Egypt is denying a New York Times report of pressure on Egyptian media to play down opposition to Trump's decision.

In leaked phone recordings, a senior intelligence officer reportedly told leading TV talk show hosts to influence their viewers to back the decision, contrary to widespread condemnation among Muslims.

The newspaper quoted Intelligence officer, Captain Ashraf Al Kholi, asking hosts "how is Jerusalem different from Ramallah"? It’s the base of the Palestinian Authority in the occupied West Bank. Captain Al Kholi was quoted telling the talk show hosts that an intifada could revive Hamas and wouldn't serve Egypt’s national security interests.

Saudi Arabia is also being criticised for what's seen by some as a weak reaction to Trump's policy change. As King Salman publicly denounced Trump, the heir to the throne, Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, was reportedly urging Palestinian leaders to accept the change.

Inside Story: Will Donald Trump Cut All Aid to Palestine and Pakistan?

Palestinian leaders say they will not be blackmailed after US President Donald Trump threatened to cut aid worth around three quarters of a billion dollars a year.

He made the statement on Twitter, blaming Palestinians for refusing to engage in Middle East peace talks. The PA responded saying the US should not blame Palestinians for 'its own failures'.

Relations with the US have plummeted since Trump recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital last month. The aid cut threatens money allocated to the Palestinian Authority. But most US funding goes to development and building projects - and not directly to the Authority itself.

The US is also withholding millions in financial assistance to the Pakistani government. Saying Islamabad has given the US 'nothing but lies and deceit' over the years - accusing the country of being a 'safe heaven for terrorists'. So, what's behind Trump's threats and what will it mean for US policy in the region?

These protesters hoped the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2015 would ease their financial struggles. Most international sanctions were lifted, but life for many Iranians has not improved. Government critics say the economic benefits of the deal haven't been passed on because of mismanagement and alleged corruption.
