Good evening, welcome to Navarra Live. Coming up tonight, the IMF has warned that Donald

Trump's war on Iran could trigger a global recession with the UK being the hardest hit in the G7.

Spain's very handsome Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is strengthening his country's ties with China and

Xi Jinping. Is Europe finally embracing the beginning

of the Chinese century? A major Italian publication is at the centre of an anti-Semitism. Yes, another

one. A former British police officer has been stripped of his citizenship over Russian ties,

and Donald Trump is trying to pretend he never posted an AI depiction of himself as Jesus Christ.

I'm Aaron Bustani, and tonight I'm joined by Kieran Andrew.

Kieran, how are you?

Our fantastically varied stories tonight, and there's nowhere I would rather be to discuss them than here with you on a Tuesday evening.

We say a lot on this show.

Sometimes this job is draining.

It's a lot.

But then I think, wow, I'm so grateful to have an outlet for all of this craziness and have

some impact on the conversation.

If you feel the same way, if you're grateful for what we do here in Navarra Media, offering

something different to the rest of legacy media,

you can, of course, support our work.

You can sign up at Navariammedia.com forward slash support.

Help us build a new media for different politics.

You can also listen to the show tonight on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

And, of course, don't forget to let us know what you think in the comments below. On Monday, the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz came into force, aiming to prevent ships transporting Iranian oil from exiting the Persian Gulf.
