The world stands on the edge of an abyss as the outbreak of World War II grows ever closer... In an effort to demonstrate international unity, the 'Peace Party' hosts a grand reception, which re-unites POIROT with his good friend JAPP, now Assistant Commissioner of the Met. The illustrious crowd also includes English diplomat STEPHEN PAYNTER, and the French scientist and Peace Party stalwart, MADAME OLIVIER. The American tycoon, and hearty backer of the Party, ABE RYLAND, fronts the event, which climaxes in an exciting game of chess, where he takes on the reclusive Russian Grandmaster, DR. IVAN SAVARANOFF. But the match has barely begun, when suddenly SAVARANOFF collapses - dead! Panic quickly spreads when RYLAND suspiciously disappears. Daily Comet journalist, TYSOE, covers every development in great, sensational detail, claiming the murder to be the work of a group of ruthless political agitators, tagged as the "the Big Four". Then when JONATHAN WHALLEY, the biographer of the Peace Party's Chinese leader, is also strangely and brutally murdered, the Big Four have the attention of HERCULE POIROT and the world. TYSOE is keen to join forces with POIROT - an anonymous source has been feeding the journalist information on the Big Four - apparently a mole from within. POIROT and JAPP decide to pool resources with him when it appears that his informer is murdered - leaving behind evidence which suggests that this dissident and dangerous group is in fact none other than the Peace Party! A theory only reinforced by the disappearances of RYLAND and then MADAME OLIVIER, shortly after the murder of unassuming conciliator PAYNTER. POIROT realises that each of these crimes is so dramatic and expertly stage-managed as to be almost theatrical... and the murderer must indeed be a master of disguise in order to pull off all of such varied and ingenious plans. Through a scrapbook found at WHALLEY's house, he tracks down failing actress FLOSSIE MONRO, whom he believes may unwittingly be at the root of all this bloodshed. However, before he can pursue his theories - POIROT himself is also killed! Or is he..? CAPTAIN HASTINGS and MISS LEMON return for the funeral of their old friend, but of course things are never as they seem, and soon the theatrics of the Big Four climax with a deadly final act - but on whom will the curtain fall this time..?

When world famous author and socialist Upton Sinclair swept the Democratic primary for governor of California in August 1934--leading a massive grassroots movement--it provoked Hollywood's first all-out plunge into politics. The First Attack Ads: Hollywood vs. Upton Sinclair explores how Sinclair's inspiring End Poverty in California movement was destroyed by powerful business and political forces, with most of the Hollywood moguls lending a hand. This is the first film to focus on revered MGM producer Irving Thalberg's creation of the first "attack ads" to appear on a screen, a forerunner of today's media-based politics. The First Attack Ads shows how the 1934 race marked the rise of "spin doctors," false or manipulated news, and modern campaign techniques that will continue to dominate political campaigning in 2022 and beyond.

Dr. Chavis speaks with Dana White, Senior Managing Director at Ankura, a leading global strategic advisor about the impact of geopolitical events such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine that caught a number of businesses unprepared for the fallout. The two also discuss political flashpoints such as China's relations with Taiwan and the fallout in the Middle East from the deadly Hamas attack on Israel.
Israel's far-right leaders, assisted by their allies in the U.S., have waged a year-long assault on Gaza in the name of "self-defense" after the attacks by Hamas on October 7 2023. Now Israel stands accused of genocide and war is breaking out across the region. Military conflict won't make Jews - or any of us - more safe, so why do leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu and former U.S. president Donald Trump continue to get away with casting themselves as the "protectors" of Israel and the Jewish people? The Trump campaign is actually deeply allied with anti-semitic Christian Zionists whose investment in Israel is tied up with a belief in Biblical "End Times" when Jews convert or perish. In this report, (which was recorded before the Israeli assassination of Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon,) we turn to Ben Lorber, a Senior Analyst at Political Research Associates and co-author of the book "Safety Through Solidarity: A Radical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism." Also joining us are Phyllis Bennis, Director of the New Internationalism Project and fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington D.C. and the author of several books on the United Nations and the Middle East; and Yoav Peck, an organizational psychologist, Executive Director of Solidarity of Nations and Israeli peace activist based in Jerusalem. Together we unpack the links between Christian Zionism and Jewish Zionism, look at how trauma has become a political tool, and ask, how might any of us become less vulnerable to the weaponizing of our fears, with a commentary from Laura. "Real antisemitism is on the rise, but the problem is with all the attention being put on the false claim that criticizing Israel, demanding a ceasefire, demanding an end to genocide, standing with South Africa, asking the International Court of Justice to hold Israel accountable for genocide [is antisemitic]. Those things are not antisemitic. But if you put all your focus there, you're not out there ending the kind of real antisemitism that comes from the Right. " - Phyllis Bennis "It doesn't make us any safer to empower the state, to go after protesters in this way, and as a Jew it's, especially galling to me that it's done in the name of Jewish safety . . . Taking away people's speech rights, deporting people in the name of keeping me safe doesn't keep me safe." - Ben Lorber "People are traumatized and retraumatized and dwelling on October 7. The media is supporting it every day . . . But October 7 is a year ago, and where we are now is a completely different place. So now we have a major educational challenge ahead of us to get people to see the link between Israel's occupation of the Palestinians and the present situation." - Yoav Peck Guests: Phyllis Bennis: Fellow, Institute for Policy Studies & Director, New Internationalism Project; International Advisor, Jewish Voice for Peace; Ben Lorber: Senior Research Analyst, Political Research Associates; Co-Author, Safety through Solidarity: A Radical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism; Yoav Peck: Organizational Psychologist; Executive Director, Achvat Amim/Solidarity of Nations.

Mexico is a vast country, dominated by a great chain of mountains, the Sierra Madre. Journey down this rocky spine and you'll discover an amazing diversity of life and culture. In the far north, secret mountains worlds provide a stronghold for Mexico's black bears, while a violent tectonic past has created the grandest canyon of them all -- the Copper Canyon. These spectacular vistas have been home to the Raramuri for over two thousand years, shaping their life in this precipitous landscape. Travel south and the temperate and tropics collide. Magical oak forests thrive alongside orchids, creating a paradise for orchid bees. Mexico's volcanic heartland is home to restless giants. Their ash helps fertilize the soils, making this one of the most productive and inhabited regions of the country. Mexico's famous export, Tequila, is produced in the shadow of these ancient volcanoes. Great civilizations rose and fell here too, leaving behind abandoned temples for a band of coatis to make their home. In the far south, the Sierra Madre catches moisture coming in from the Pacific Ocean. Rich cloud forests host some rare creatures, including one worshipped by the Aztecs -- the resplendent quetzal. Some of Mexico's mountain worlds are so inviting they compel creatures to journey thousands of miles to reach them. Every year millions of monarch butterflies overwinter in the fir forests of central Mexico. Their arrival coincides with Mexico's most spectacular festival -- the Day of the Dead.
