This podcast discusses three major news stories. First, it covers the arrest and indictment of former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity related to his drug war. Second, it details the unprecedented rise in bombings in Sweden, attributed to gangs using extortion tactics against businesses and employing young recruits. Finally, it features an obituary for Athol Fugard, a South African playwright whose work explored the experiences of the poor during apartheid and beyond. The podcast highlights the complexities of international justice, the evolving tactics of criminal organizations, and the lasting impact of a significant cultural figure. The ICC's successful prosecution of Duterte, despite the Philippines' withdrawal from the treaty, is presented as a significant event.
