Are US Sanctions Realigning Global Alliances? | Inside Story
The response has been a nearly universal "no". Some of Washington's closest allies have even promised legislation to protect their own companies against possible American reprisals.
We have been here before. In 1996 the Helms-Burton Act sought to force the rest of the world to adhere to Washington's long-standing boycott of Cuba. A 1977 law penalised US companies honouring the Arab boycott of Israel; and as recently as 2014, shortly before the nuclear deal was completed, France's largest bank, BNP Paribas, agreed to pay the US Justice Department an eight-point-nine billion dollar fine for violating US sanctions related to Iran.
Can extra-territorial sanctions really work? If they don't - as seems likely - what will that mean for America's broader role in the world?

Meet the Rising Socialists Challenging the Trump Presidency
The Democratic establishment says sticking to the centre is the best way to win over Trump supporters. But, as Kiran Moodley reports, others continue to call for a radical agenda, arguing that 'democratic socialism' is the best way to take down the President in 2020.

Why Is Saudi Arabia Angry at Canada? | Inside Story
It all began with a tweet from Canada's Foreign Affairs ministry, stating concerns over Saudi Arabia's arrest of rights activists and demanding their immediate release. One of those activists mentioned in that tweet is Samar Badawi, a relative of Canadian citizens.
Badawi and fellow activist Nassima al-Sadah were arrested last month. Badawi is the recipient of the 2012 International Women of Courage Award, who is known for challenging Saudi Arabia's male guardianship system.
But is international criticism enough to improve human rights in the Kingdom?

Iran: From Theocracy to Regional Superpower?
Tehran is now engaging in dialogue and has agreed to curb its nuclear program. But it is also involved in wars in Syria and Yemen - running the risk of upsetting the sensibilities of old enemies such as Israel, Saudi Arabia and the US. Donald Trump has now ditched the Iran nuclear deal. The consequences for the Iranian economy, international trade relations and the balance of power in the Middle East remains as yet unclear.
Does Iran have expansionist ambitions - not just military, but also political and economic? Or is it merely seeking to secure its borders and autonomy, and ward off the crises that are destabilizing the Middle East?

Why Is It So Hot? | Inside Story
Hot air from Africa's baking Spain and Portugal in the Iberian peninsula. Record-breaking temperatures have been recorded in eight Portuguese towns - and there's a widespread red alert for wildfires.
In Spain, heatstroke killed at least three men. Heatwave warnings have been issued in 41 of the 50 Spanish provinces where temperatures are expected to soar to 44 degrees.
The scorching temperatures show no sign of falling. So, apart from climate change, what's the cause?

Is There Any Way to Stop Guns Printed in 3D? | Inside Story
That information is already out there on the internet. But if publication had gone ahead it would have immediately become a lot easier to download the plans for the weapons. And with the quality of 3D-printers rapidly rising - and their cost falling equally as fast - that worries a lot of people. Not just gun control activists.
Despite this week's court order, it's a problem that isn't going away. Is public safety more important than freedom of information?

Will the Iranians Talk to Donald Trump? | Inside Story
Mike Pompeo wants to see what he calls a change in behaviour from Iran before any negotiations can go ahead. Iran was also quick to set its own conditions, saying the U.S. must rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal before any talks can happen. But what's behind this sudden offer? And how will Trump engage Iran when he's trying to build a regional alliance against it?

Edward und George - Zwei Brüder, eine Krone
11. Dezember 1936 - der britische König Edward VIII. (1894-1972) gibt nach nur 327 Tagen seine Abdankung bekannt und stürzt damit die britische Monarchie in eine ihrer größten Krisen. Am nächsten Tag erklärt er in einer Rundfunkansprache, dass er die Verantwortung nicht mehr tragen kann ohne die Unterstützung der Frau an seiner Seite, die er liebt: Wallis Simpson (1896-1986). Seine Beziehung zu der verheirateten und geschiedenen Amerikanerin stellte ihn vor die Wahl zwischen Krone und Liebe. Die königliche Familie verweigerte Wallis Simpson die Anerkennung. Für seinen jüngeren Bruder Prinz Albert beginnt ein unerwarteter Albtraum: Als George VI. (1895-1952) wird er der Nachfolger seines Bruders und damit König wider Willen. Dennoch wurde aus ihm ein beliebter König - auch wenn ihn sein Stottern und die Angst vor öffentlichen Auftritten bis zum Ende seines Lebens quälten.

Wallis Simpson: The Secret Letters | Royal Family Documentary | Timeline
Wallis Simpson found herself at the centre of a national scandal when she was seen to ensnare Edward VIII and lure him from the throne of England. But in this explosive film, biographer Anne Sebba sifts through a newly discovered cache of documents - shown in this film for the first time - that contains 15 secret letters written by Wallis Simpson herself around the time ofthe abdication. These extraordinary personal missives have the power to rewrite both history and our perception of Wallis. They reveal she was deeply in love with another man, and chart her fear, desperation and loneliness as she found herself becoming trapped into marrying the man who should have been king.
