Today on the Global Research News Hour, we are looking at plans by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to boost military spending to 2 percent of the GDP of his country in just a few months, his apparent embrace of the unproven Golden Dome missile defense shield and what stakes await Canadians who want to stop war, not start new ones (especially those of a nuclear nature.) In our first half hour, the scientist Theodore Postol of MIT joins us to explain why the Missile Defense shield today,, like missile defense in the 1980s is more science fiction than science fact and why alternatives would be far more preferable to this insanely expensive strategy. Then in our second half hour, we sit down with Tamara Lorincz of the Canadian Voice Women for Peace to discuss the false vision of a more peaceful world through increasing and expensive military strength and how to refute these claims in Canada. Finally, Alberta organizer Morrigan Johnson representing the Canada-Wide peace and justice network explains what is wrong with the G7 leaders meeting in his province this weekend and about the activities pushing back against an agenda not in the interest of the Canadian or the world’s people.

This week, on the Global Research News Hour we share the disappointing news, in the eyes of some critics, that a modified, watered down version of the Pandemic Agreement was finally approved at the World Health Assembly last month, and the prospects for rights and national sovereignty moving forward.
In our first half hour, we play an excerpt from a September 2024 interview with journalist and film maker James Corbett of the Corbett Report on last year’s failure of the Pandemic Agreement in which he successfully predicted the threat it represented would be approved sooner or later. And in our second half hour, we spoke to commentator Dr. Meryl Nass about what is still problematic about this year’s approach to stopping apparently much more frequent pandemic calls in the years ahead.

Global Research News: Cuba's Struggles in 2025. More than "El Bloqueo?"
Tuesday May 20, 2025
Tuesday May 20, 2025
The Cuban people have been through so much over the last 60 plus years with intense periods of hardship, especially over the last decade. The bulk of this hardship, I suspect, is due to the Blockade.
But there is a disturbing trend developing at least as far back as the Obama administration, that elements of the Cuban society are succumbing to American pressure and are serving roles willingly or not against the very principles of the Revolution. If that is the case, how does the resistance in the streets react to the reality of the enemy within so to speak? And has the Revolutionary fight weakened with the death of the legendary Fidel Castro? That concept will be the subscript to the discussion in a special episode of this program.

This week on the Global Research News Hour, we turn our attention to the massive killings of Alawites, Sunnis and Christians continuing to take place in parts of Syria while the so-called pro-democratic Western media looks on with indifference, and continues to present the culprits, Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham or HTS, as the 'new and improved regime. We spend most of our show in conversation with award-winning journalist and photographer Vanessa Beeley discussing the experiences of many who have been fleeing and of her own experience in mid-December. Then toward the end of our show, we are joined by military and geopolitical analyst Drago Bosnic to get insights from him on the broad goals of themain foreign power interests supporting HTS in Syria supposedly for the good of the people.
