    One News Special - The Knowledge Wave

    Mike Hosking presents the One News Special: The Knowledge Wave. A heavyweight gathering got underway in Auckland today, catching the Knowledge Wave as hosted by the government and Auckland University. Thirty of the world's top movers and shakers were involved, so are more than four hundred invited guests. Organisers describe it as a call-to-arms. They want those who are willing and able to help this country become a knowledge economy. They say it would make us richer, lift our standard of living and stop the inexorable slide out of first-world status. Critics believe it's a massive gabfest full of buzzwords and short on specifics.

    The Listening Post Palestine-Israel through three European lenses

    Israel-Gaza as seen in Europe: examining how history has informed coverage in Germany, France and Ireland. Published on Saturday 2 December 2023. If the United States has aided and abetted Israel’s campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza, the European Union’s role has been one of quiet complicity. In a special edition of The Listening Post, we examine the discourse around the conflict in three EU countries: Germany, where shows of support for the Palestinians have been heavily suppressed; France, where television news channels have distorted the debate to suit their own agendas; and the outlier that is Ireland, where there has been probing criticism of Israel’s actions – from politicians and in the media. Segment 1: Germany Contributors: Hanno Hauenstein – Journalist and former editor Berliner Zeitung Wieland Hoban – Chair, Jewish Voice for Peace Hebh Jamal – Palestinian journalist Segment 2: France Contributors: Rima Hassan – International Lawyer and President, Refugee Camps Observatory Thomas Legrand – Radio Host, France Inter Daniel Schneidermann – Founder & Columnist, Arrêt Sur Images and Columnist, Libération Segment 3: Ireland Contributors: Brendan Ciarán Browne – Assistant Professor of Conflict Resolution and Fellow of Trinity College Dublin Una Mullally – Columnist, The Irish Times Shona Murray – Europe Correspondent, Euronews
