“We call India the ‘mother of democracy,’ but the children of this democracy have been thrashed left and right on the streets of Delhi.” Dr. John Brittas, Indian MP representing the State of Keralam in the Rajya Sabha, joined BT Live straight from the streets of Delhi, where India’s far-right government is facing a major youth-led uprising: On Thursday the city center was shuttered, the metro closed, the internet jammed, and paramilitary forces from across the country were flown into the capital in response to another night of massive protests demanding the resignation of country’s education minister Dharmendra Pradhan over irregularities in the country's centralized exam system that negatively impacted the lives of millions of students. The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in coalition with left groups has been protesting for over a month, demanding accountability and major reforms from Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party central government – including compensation for the families of young people who have died by suicide connected to this year’s exam irregularities and results. As youth in the capital brace for more police repression, Modi’s government is increasingly “pushed to the wall,” as a movement born from a viral insult swells to the most serious challenge to his rule in years.

“This is a symbolic signaling that he's restarting the war against Colombians – against the civilian population, against the Indigenous and Afro-Colombian populations, against environmentalists, against trade unionists – that's literally what he's signaling with this.” Los Angeles-based Colombian activist Javier Guerrero tells BT Live Trump’s pick for Colombia’s presidency Abelardo de la Espriella was hinting not-so-subtly at a return to state and paramilitary violence when he addressed crowds on Colombia’s Independence Day, as outgoing President Gustavo Petro meanwhile delivered his final address in office – declaring that as of inauguration day on August 7, Colombia would no longer be a sovereign country. Doubling down on demands that June’s presidential runoff vote be thrown out due to foreign interference and tallying irregularities, Petro vowed to fight de la Espriella’s incoming government, a “servant to the US leaders who helped elect him,” in the streets. Meanwhile, de la Espriella has accused Petro of plotting a “coup” and commanded the country’s army to ignore their commander-in-chief, effectively inciting sedition as he promises a return to fumigations and bombings in Colombia’s “war on drugs.” Watch full episodes of BT Live, join breakthroughnews.org as a member today!

"They're able to displace 2 million Palestinians from Gaza during the war, but they can't remove 20 settlers. It doesn't make sense." On July 11, 2025, Palestinian American Saif Musallet was beaten to death by a mob of Israeli settlers on his family's land near Sinjil in the occupied West Bank – he was visiting family from his home in Tampa, Florida, ahead of his 21st birthday. Saif survived the initial attack, but as he lay bleeding, Israeli soldiers and settlers blocked paramedics from reaching him for more than two hours, and he died before he made it to the hospital. Saif’s father Kamel Musallet was also attacked by settlers on the anniversary of his son’s murder when he tried to reach the land where Saif was killed. That's because Saif's murder was not an aberration — it's the Israeli colonial system working as designed. Kamel tells BT Live that a full year after US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee proclaimed Saif’s murder a “criminal and terrorist act” and promised to get his family answers from Tel Aviv, no one has been held accountable for his son’s horrific death.

Is Russia operating a spy base in Cuba again? Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and major U.S. media outlets like The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal all say so. But none of them bothered to go to the alleged site of this spy base. We did — and here’s what we found. #cuba #uspolicy #sanctions

At least 50 people have been killed and hundreds more wounded in ten consecutive days of US airstrikes targeting critical Iranian infrastructure, its health ministry says. Tehran has hit back, with two US soldiers killed in retaliatory strikes in Jordan and a third killed in Iraq over the weekend, bringing the total American body count to at least 17. But Tehran-based journalist Navid Zarrinnal says Tehran maintains a clear, critical advantage: “Even though they are weaker technologically and militarily, they still have leverage over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has built a resistance economy for the past 47 years; it can absorb this kind of pressure on its economy much better than the US, which has to keep its own population content, but also the broader population: The US does have power over the integrated global economy in a very different way than Iran.” That pressure – and the war map – is growing, with Yemen's Ansar Allah declaring an embargo on Saudi shipping through Bab-el-Mandeb on Monday, meaning both ends of the Arabian Peninsula are now contested. Zarrinnal says Donald Trump is at war with Iranian sovereignty, to which there can be no diplomatic solution – and time’s running out on his political clock.

It’s NSPM-7, 10 months in. On Monday, Marco Rubio's State Department dropped a 100-page report titled "Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism" – a sprawling conspiracy theory arguing a tiny island nation that Washington is currently strangling under a medieval-torturous siege that’s killing infants is one of the gravest threats to American civilization. But the report doesn’t stop at Havana: It names dozens of US activists, streamers, journalists, labor leaders, and sitting elected officials, from LA Mayor Karen Bass, to Hasan Piker, to Zohran Mamdani, to Amy Goodman, to CodePink, DSA and the National Lawyers Guild. Their crime? Having the wrong politics. It’s a tangled web of baseless claims bordering on the comical – if it weren’t so dangerous. BT Live’s Zoe Alexandra and Rania Khalek break down Rubio’s absurdist argument that a broke, blacked-out island suffering gravely at the hand of US imperialism is somehow also the puppet master of the American “left,” and what it reveals about the socialist spectre keeping the Trump administration up at night. It's a Mad Libs of every boogeyman at once, with special guest appearances by Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Hamas, Hezbollah -- the whole supervillain roster!

The media wants you to think “Greater Israel” is a fringe fantasy belonging to Ben Gvir and the settler far right. It's not. It's a project for dominating the entire Middle East, and it goes far beyond land grabs. Daniel Levy, former Israeli peace negotiator and president of the US/Middle East Project, joins Rania Khalek to explain what “Greater Israel” actually is: annexation in Palestine, military occupation zones in Lebanon and Syria, and beyond that, a region where every state is subservient, dependent, or collapsed. Levy breaks down why Israel has no recognized borders by design, how the Lebanon "framework agreement" serves the Israelis and was signed by a Lebanese government that got nothing in return, why Israeli leaders now openly declare that Turkey is next, and the contradiction at the heart of it all: Netanyahu calls Israel a superpower while insisting it was on the brink of annihilation. Is this project achievable or is it imperial overreach? Plus, Levy reflects on his own evolution from an Orthodox Zionist upbringing in London, with a seat at the negotiating table, to becoming a sharp critic of Israel and Zionism.

Around 25,000 protestors rallied in Tokyo's Shibuya Scramble Crossing on Sunday, opposing remilitarization and Japan’s push to revise Article 9, the pacifist clause of its Constitution. The protestors are in addition calling for the resignation of far-right Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who ignited a diplomatic firestorm in November when she pledged she would deploy Japanese troops in the event of a military crisis in the Taiwan Strait. Japan's military budget for 2025 reached a record-breaking 9 trillion yen (approx. $58 billion), and in a major shift from its post-WWII pacifist policy, the country lifted its ban on lethal export weapons earlier this year and is also actively participating in US-led war exercises across the region. Critics assert that Takaichi is leading the country into the US-led war on China. Takaichi’s approval rating has fallen below 50 percent as of July 17, according to recent polls.

Graham Platner's candidacy was a predictable catastrophe which we were able to call eight months ago. But the problem wasn't truly rooted in the candidate's personal moral failings... It was rooted in the much deeper and wider problem of INDIVIDUALISM and PERSONALITY-DRIVEN CAMPAIGNS. In this video, we examine some of the problems plaguing the Western left and socialism in the USA through the framework of critique and self-critique, examining words of wisdom from Ho Chi Minh and V. I. Lenin as we try to solve the Platner Problem once and for all.
