    Nov 19 2025
    The G20 is preparing to kick off in South Africa this weekend. It's supposed to be when the world's major powers come together to tackle the biggest global challenges, from economic stability to climate change. But this year's summit in Johannesburg begins with something extraordinary: virtually no senior US presence. All of it unfolds as South Africa confronts another unexpected crisis: mystery flights carrying Palestinians from Gaza into the country, which officials fear could signal an effort to remove Palestinians from their homeland. South African Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola joins the show from Johannesburg. Also on today’s show: Rev. Alex Santora; author Elizabeth Kolbert Learn more about your ad choices.

    Indigenous protesters against deforestation are making their voices heard in Belem, Brazil, the site of the UN's major climate summit. But the world's most powerful people aren't even at the conference: Presidents Trump and Xi are no-shows, and so is India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, all big polluters. One well-known American trying to fill the leadership gap is former US Vice President Al Gore. One of the earliest politicians to sound the alarm on climate change, he won the Nobel Peace Prize in part for his prescient documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."
