BT Live! Join hosts Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra and special guests twice weekly for the breaking news that matters and the sharp left, anti-imperialist analysis you need to keep fighting. Israel is escalating attacks in the West Bank, with settler violence, mass arrests, and home demolitions accelerating as the world’s attention remains fixed on Tel Aviv’s atrocities in Gaza. Basil Farraj, assistant professor of philosophy and cultural studies at Palestine’s Birzeit University, joins the show to unpack the latest developments across Israel’s bloodthirsty, take-it-all regional strategy, and how Israel’s prison and detention system is designed to control, not secure. Is Türkiye next? Six months into the US-Israeli war on Iran, Ankara is increasingly caught in the crossfire, from Iranian missiles entering Turkish airspace to Washington now sanctioning Turkish companies for their ties to Tehran. Giorgio Cafiero, CEO of Gulf State Analytics, joins to unpack what’s driving the war’s expansion, how Ankara is being pulled in — and whether Erdogan can keep threading the needle between NATO and Tehran. And three Anthropic researchers just went public with a dire warning about AI most people are desperate to ignore. Dr. Thejas Wesley, postdoctoral associate at MIT, joins the show to unpack why tech workers say there’s a significant chance artificial intelligence will eliminate humans in ten years — and they’re resigning so they can say the scary party out loud: “The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.” Thursday, September 10 | 12 PM ET / 9 AM PT With special guests: Basil Farraj, assistant professor, Department of Philosophy and Cultural Studies, Birzeit University Giorgio Cafiero, CEO of Gulf State Analytics Dr. Thejas Wesley, postdoctoral associate at MIT
