"De cara al mundo": international analysis on Onda Madrid
"De cara al mundo", the programme on Onda Madrid directed and presented by Javier Fernández Arribas, director of Atalayar, analyses international current affairs on a weekly basis.
India hosts this weekend's meeting of the G20 heads of state and government with notable absences, such as Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian leader Vladimir Putin. The meeting comes at a particularly difficult time in international relations.
Meanwhile, the US Under-Secretary of State for North Africa, Joshua Harris, has undertaken a visit to the countries of the region with the message of supporting the efforts of the UN Special Envoy, Staffan de Mistura, also touring the region to reopen the dialogue table to seek a solution to the Western Sahara conflict.
Meanwhile, Morocco is leading Arab League discussions and receiving more international support from countries such as Japan, Bahrain and Sierra Leone for its proposal for autonomy for Western Sahara under its sovereignty.
Meanwhile, the death of two Franco-Moroccans machine-gunned by Algerian coastguards after they strayed with jet skis into Algerian waters has provoked protests in Morocco and further strained relations between the two countries.
Meanwhile, in the Sahel, coups in several countries are causing instability and a rejection of traditional French influence. Terrorist groups and the activities of the Russian Wagner group create uncertainty and threats.
Nourdine Mouati, Audakia consultant and political analyst, will take to the microphones of "Facing the World" to give the details of all these issues.
Also, the war in Ukraine continues and the United States reaffirms its support for Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky with the visit of Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Kiev. A new aid package has been announced, including non-enriched uranium ammunition to combat Russian tanks. In addition, the new Ukrainian Defence Minister is making decisions and the counteroffensive is moving forward. Journalist and correspondent María Senovilla and expert international analyst Lucas Martín analyse the situation in Ukraine and the Russian invasion.
As every Friday, the discussion will be led by Atalayar's regular contributors, Claudia Luna, Mexican journalist and writer, and Pedro González, journalist and founder of Euronews, coordinated by Javier Fernández Arribas. They will talk about the G20 summit in India, the war in Ukraine and the candidacies for the Mexican elections.
"De cara al mundo", Friday 8 September from 22:05 to 23:00.
