In this episode of What’s New with ME, host Ali Mehdaoui breaks down the most pressing and controversial global stories shaping public conversation—without partisan spin and without sensationalism. We examine alleged boat strikes in Venezuelan waters that are raising serious international law and war-crime questions, followed by deep dives into two major criminal trials—including the Miagon case and the disturbing details emerging from the Walshe murder trial, where digital evidence is becoming the most powerful witness in the courtroom. The episode also explores a striking global contrast: Maria Corina Machado’s Nobel Peace Prize recognition versus the internet’s reaction to FIFA awarding a “peace trophy” to Donald Trump—highlighting how optics, credibility, and substance collide on the world stage. We close with a forward-looking conversation on Australia’s historic decision to ban social media for anyone under 16, asking whether this move is government overreach—or a long-overdue response to the youth mental-health crisis. This episode blends news, cultural commentary, and real-world accountability, designed to inform without outrage and challenge without bias. 📌 Topics Covered: Venezuelan maritime strikes & international law Miagon trial evidence vs defense claims Walshe murder trial and forensic revelations Nobel Peace Prize vs FIFA peace optics Australia’s under-16 social media ban 🔔 Subscribe to What’s New with ME for honest breakdowns of the headlines shaping our world.
