‘De cara al mundo‘: international analysis on Onda Madrid
‘De cara al mundo’, the Onda Madrid programme directed and presented by Javier Fernández Arribas, director of Atalayar, analyses world news on a weekly basis.
Donald Trump's tariffs on European Union aluminium and steel have provoked a reaction from Brussels against various products such as Levi's, American Bourbon and Harley Davidson motorbikes. The US president's response against wine and champagne has created many fears in France and Spain. The trade war will be detrimental to everyone, but the first to be harmed for the moment is the United States.
In April 2023, war broke out in Sudan between the Armed Forces (the Army) and the Rapid Support Forces as a result of a power struggle that was exacerbated by the influence of Islamists within the Army and the refusal of the Army commander, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, to hand over power to civilian forces.
The battles quickly escalated into a bloody and devastating conflict and, as the military solution faltered, regional powers entered the fray.
Turkey supported the Islamist militias loyal to the army, while Iranian intervention later intensified by supplying the army with drones and advanced weaponry, tipping the war in its favour.
Today, this war has become one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.
On the other hand, the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has taken some time to respond to the 30-day ceasefire agreement reached by the United States and Ukraine, as a first step to negotiate an end to the war on Ukrainian territory. In Moscow, the details of the possible agreement and the explanations of Donald Trump's special envoy are being studied.
The Europeans are looking for ways to finance the rearmament that is essential in view of the change in attitude of the US president, who received the NATO secretary general with a better attitude towards the organisation provided that the Europeans increase defence spending to more than 3% of GDP.
The journalist and correspondent María Senovilla and the expert international analyst Lucas Martín will offer the most important keys in ‘De cara al mundo’.
As on each programme, 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; the discussion will cover the political crisis in Sudan, US tariffs on the European Union, contacts between the United States and Ukraine and Russia to achieve a ceasefire and on the increase in the EU's defence budget and support for the Ukrainian country in the war.
‘De cara al mundo’, Friday 14 March from 22:05 to 23:00.
