In this week’s Friday Focus, as Israel waits for a response from Tehran following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Rudyard and Janice discuss the possibility of a last minute ceasefire deal and whether a Harris/Walz win in the US would deter Iran’s nuclear ambitions and bring more stability to the region.

The final topic of today’s show addresses a tale of two dictators: Bangladesh’s autocratic leader Sheikh Hasina Wazed has been forced out, while Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro cracks down on dissent after fraudulent elections. How was one dictator able to hold on to power, while the other was forced to flee?
