Iran activist wins Nobel Peace Prize, Ukraine and conflicts at EU’s doorstep, Paris’ bedbug fright

Would you be willing to risk arrest to stand up for what you believed in?

Well how about 13 times? Francois Picard invites a panel of journalists to discuss the Nobel Peace prize going to human rights activist Narges Mohammadi, currently serving what amounts to 12 years behind bars in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison. From her cell, the 51-year old activist putting out a statement for a prize that’s a nod to all those who have risen up since last year’s death of Mahsa Amini in the hands of Iran’s morality police.

The panel, which included recurring guests Paul Moreira, Nico Hines, Matthew Dalton and Ana Navarro Pedro, went on to discuss the situation in Ukraine, whose leader was in Granada today asking for aid to European allies as American support wavers, and in the other two conflicts on Europe’s doorstep: Armenia and Kosovo.
