“It was a shock” to see Palestinian legislative elections postponed yet again, says Palestinian politician Samer Sinijlawiسامر السنجلاوي. “What was postponed is not a simple election. It is an opportunity for the young generation to peacefully participate in the political life. "We keep convincing them that the ballot will change their lives, and then the door keeps closing again and again. So it's making the argument for democratic change very difficult.”

“Bobby’s endorsement of Trump is anathema to everything that we’ve ever been taught as a family,” Kerry Kennedy tells me of her brother, RFK Jr. “I don’t understand how Bobby said to himself that this is ok to do… [But] so many families… are in this position of having a split… We need to continue to see the dignity in one another.”

A Haaretz report alleges Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was warned by the UAE president about a possible Hamas attack prior to Oct 7, which Netanyahu has called “a complete lie.” Now former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert tells me, “I have a good reason to believe that this is absolutely accurate” – though won’t say what it is. “Maybe one day I’ll have to say it in court,” he adds.

Navi Pillay, a great Nobel winner for today. A human rights defender. And a South African woman of colour. In 2014, I asked how her experience struggling against apartheid informed her work. She said she learned to “be persistent & be totally positive that you will win one day.”

Two former top Trump aides advising the government of Republika Srpska “should cause a political firestorm,” says Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, who is on a visit to Bosnia. “It’s being done at the expense of Bosnia Herzegovina & the unity to this country… This is not in America’s interest.”

Earlier live on air, I spoke about what a day of real joy this is, for Israeli families whose loved ones are finally being returned from two years of horrific Hamas captivity, and for civilians in Gaza, who have finally had a reprieve from two years of brutal, deadly war. I noted that for the hostages who are finally home, it will take a long time for them to recover mentally and physically. But I regret also saying that they may have been treated better than many Gazans because Hamas used these hostages as pawns and bargaining chips. It was insensitive and wrong. From speaking to many former hostages and their families, like everyone I've been horrified at what Hamas has subjected them to over two long years. They've told me their stories of barely being able to breathe in the tunnels, not being allowed to cry, being starved and made to dig their own graves – and of course today, some of the hostages are coming back in body bags.

If Ethel Kennedy were alive today to see how President Trump is changing the face of Washington, “she’d be there with a pickaxe at the Kennedy Center taking [Trump’s] name off the wall,” her daughter Kerry tells me. “She was a woman of action.”

In the occupied West Bank, we see “almost daily atrocities carried out against innocent people,” says former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. “Burning and shooting people in their homes, in their fields, everywhere they can find them. This is something that can’t be ignored and can’t be forgiven. “And therefore, I’m not surprised at the statement made by Secretary Miliband and the actions that were taken” by the United Kingdom.

“One official described the situation to me as ‘herd impunity’.” In his new book Crossing the Red Line, journalist Akbar Shahid Ahmed dives behind the scenes of the Biden administration’s response to the Oct. 7 attack on Israel, and how the US stuck by their ally throughout the war in Gaza, even as the death toll and allegations of war crimes mounted.

Brazil’s President Lula will be first to speak at UNGA tomorrow, and is making the case for multilateralism. He’s pushing back on unilateralism, which he says President Trump prefers: “This is very dangerous because there’s always the possibility… the strongest one [prevails]… The best way to keep the world in harmony is for us to strengthen multilateralism.”

"The protest has been successful... The biggest victory is that people have become fearless in questioning the government, because there was a trend happening in India where people were afraid of speaking up." Abhijeet Dipke founded the Cockroach Janta Party after the chief justice called unemployed youth "cockroaches," and it became a movement that faced down India's government. He tells me "this was truly a victory of democracy".
