Goldman Sachs in 1MDB scandal

Goldman Sachs is in the cross hairs of Malaysian and US investigators over its role in the 1MDB scandal. Two former executives have now been charged in the multi-billion dollar corruption case. The investment giant helped issue bonds worth $6.5 billion for the Malaysian state development fund, and investigators say that money was siphoned-off to the personal accounts of former prime minister, Najib Razak, and other officials. And as Mobin Nasir reports, Goldman has a long history of questionable deals, and not just in Malaysia. For more on the story, we speak to TRT World Editor-at-large Craig Copetas.

The Debate - Israeli Aggression

Nov 14, 2018 An entity in turmoil is how Israel can be described right now. This, after Tel Aviv’s special forces botched a mission, but led to the deaths of 8 people. In response, the Palestinian resistance fired missiles. Now, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman is announcing his resignation because of a cease fire that has been reached between the Palestinians and Tel Aviv. And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is hanging on to his government by a thread now.

Costs of War: 17 Years After 9/11, Nearly Half a Million People Have Died in Global “War on Terror”

Nearly half a million people have died from violence in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan since George W. Bush declared a “war on terror” in the wake of 9/11, according to a major new report from Brown University’s Costs of War Project. More than 17 years later, the war in Afghanistan is the longest war in U.S. history. Costs of War reports that more than 480,000 people have died from violence in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan—including soldiers, militants, police, contractors, journalists, humanitarian workers and civilians. Several times as many people have died indirectly because of water loss, sewage and other infrastructural problems, and war-related disease. The wars have uprooted 21 million Afghan, Iraqi, Pakistani and Syrian people who are now refugees of war or internally displaced. The cost of the global so-called war on terror will soon surpass $6 trillion. We speak with Neta Crawford, director of the Costs of War Project. She is a professor and department chair of political science at Boston University.
