Olga and Tara welcome reporter Steve Sweeney for an eyewitness account of the escalating conflict in Lebanon and the personal cost of reporting from the front lines.
We break down the harrowing details of the Israeli strike on Sweeney’s press crew and investigate claims of systemic targeting of media and medical workers. From the use of chemical agents on ancient olive groves to the controversial “regeneration” plans for the border region, are we witnessing a new blueprint for ethnic cleansing? We also dive into the legal pressures facing journalists in the West, discussing Sweeney's own detention under UK anti-terror laws.
