"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 current affairs in the world on a weekly basis.
The Regional Investment Council of the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima Region organised its latest business meeting, "Doing Business in Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima Region", at the World Trade Center in Barcelona, with the slogan "Together for the development of your business", to encourage Spanish investors to invest in this booming region of Morocco, which is experiencing enormous growth. We spoke to Berta Pérez Pey, Director of Internationalisation and European Projects at the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce.
On the other hand, on the complicated and devilish chessboard of the Middle East, another piece appears that is trying to take advantage of the troubled river to regain prominence and justify its unworthy existence. We are talking about the Daesh terrorists, the misnamed Islamic State, which claims responsibility for the attack in Iran during the memorial service for General Qasam Soleimani, head of the Al Quds Brigades of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, who was killed four years ago by a US attack in Baghdad.
The ayatollahs threaten to respond, but their intended enemies, Israel and the US, claim they are not responsible for an attack that killed 84 people. Meanwhile, the Houthis continue their attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea, complicating and increasing the cost of international trade. The US neutralises an Islamic Jihad leader in Iraq.
The war between Hamas and Israel continues. Discussions begin in Israel about the day after the military operations in Gaza. From the option of deporting most Palestinians to neighbouring countries such as Egypt and Jordan, a renewed and legitimised Palestinian National Authority, and of course free of Hamas influence, is taking the lead in regaining power and governance of the strip. The death in Beirut of Hamas's number two may lead to an escalation of fighting in Lebanon.
The war in Ukraine also continues. Amidst all the Russian bombing, the prisoner exchange is either a good sign or just convenient for both sides. Meanwhile, Russia's military industry is working at full capacity. The journalist and correspondent María Senovilla and the expert international analyst Lucas Martín will offer the keys to the war on Ukrainian territory.
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 discuss Iran and its links with groups in the region such as the Houthis, the threat of Daesh, the latest US actions in Iraq, as well as the war between Israel and Hamas and the clashes with Hezbollah. Also discussed will be the prisoner exchange between Ukraine and Russia and the allegations of Democratic politicians against former President Donald Trump, who they accuse of receiving money from foreign governments.
