Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/2003512138740?aff=oddtdtcreator
Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, Erdoğan and Javier Milei. From authoritarian strongmen to populist firebrands and increasingly influential tech billionaires, powerful personalities are challenging international norms, disrupting alliances and reshaping the global order. But are we entering an age of geopolitical madness?
Join us for a discussion with Tina Fordham and Mark Leonard, as we explore the personalities, ambitions and power struggles driving global instability.
Are today's leaders more reckless than their predecessors, or is the international order simply too fragile to contain them? What happens when personal ambitions and political egos dictate foreign policy? And can diplomacy and international institutions still keep the world's most powerful figures in check?

A special screening of Inside Iran: War & Revolution, directed by award-winning filmmaker Ben Zand and produced by ZANDLAND for ITV’s BAFTA-winning Exposure strand.
Following unprecedented protests and a devastating military conflict, the documentary goes inside Iran through extraordinary footage and first-hand testimony from ordinary citizens, journalists and grieving families, many speaking anonymously and at significant personal risk.
Their accounts piece together what happened as demonstrations against the Islamic Republic were met with internet blackouts and a brutal state crackdown, before escalating into an international conflict that left civilians facing US and Israeli bombardment.
At the heart of the film are the Iranian journalists and citizens determined to document events despite the enormous dangers involved. Their testimony offers a rare view beyond official narratives and geopolitical headlines, capturing the human reality of a population caught between authoritarian repression at home and warfare from abroad.

***Sold Out*** 19.00 Mon, Oct 19, 2026 Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 produced a rupture with the United States and Europe not seen since the Cold War. As a result, Russia refocused its entire state machinery on one purpose: to outlast the West.
Based on Russia foreign policy analyst Hanna Notte's new book "We Shall Outlast Them", our panel will uncover how Russia reinvented itself, outmanoeuvring sanctions, forging surprising alliances, charming the Global South and sowing fear in Western societies.

Tonight 1900 Tuesday 13th Oct 2026
Dr. Marwan Bishara, Aljazeera’s senior political analyst, discusses his new book Twelve Days that Shook the Middle East, covering the three year Gaza war.
He'll talk about the challenge of writing a book about a war while it was still raging, and of drawing dramatic and controversial conclusions from its first dozen days, when the fighting had only just begun.
What shocked him most? Why did he hope his thesis would prove wrong? Why does he now believe the book’s title needs to be updated? What sets his book apart from the many others covering the Gaza war? We’ll also discuss his experience as a journalist covering a war in which many of his colleagues and fellow Palestinian journalists were killed.
Join us for a wide-ranging conversation about the war, genocide, journalism, prediction, and the risks of writing history while it is still unfolding.

Support for the Ukraine war inside Russia remains significant even though Moscow has suffered more than a million casualties, the military situation seems to be a stalemate and Ukrainian drone strikes increasingly disrupt daily life. But what are the origins of this support? Is it ultimately brittle, driven by financial incentives, fear and propaganda? Or do its roots lie deep in Russian history, culture and society?
As the fifth anniversary of the full-scale invasion approaches, the answers to such questions can offer a window into the chances of both a ceasefire, and the survival of the Putin regime itself.

In 2015, as the Syrian refugee crisis dominated the international news agenda, journalist Jeanne Carstensen and filmmakers Itab Azzam and Jack MacInnes were reporting in Greece and Turkey. Ten years on, their work asks what it means to stay with the people behind a story long after the headlines have moved on.
Carstensen’s A Greek Tragedy: One Day, a Deadly Shipwreck, and the Human Cost of the Refugee Crisis reconstructs the deadly October 2015 shipwreck off Lesvos through the lives of refugees, local residents, volunteers and rescuers caught up in the disaster. Azzam and MacInnes’ documentary One in a Million, filmed over ten years, follows Israa from childhood to adulthood as she and her family leave Syria, make the dangerous journey to Germany and build a new life in Europe before returning to Syria.
Bringing these two projects together, this discussion will explore what sustained reporting demands of journalists and filmmakers. How do you build and maintain trust over many years? What responsibilities come with documenting people through trauma, exile and upheaval? How does the relationship between reporter and subject change over time? And what can long-form documentary and narrative nonfiction reveal about displacement that the daily news cycle cannot?
Join us for a conversation about reporting beyond the news cycle, the ethics and intimacy of telling other people’s stories, and the challenge of preserving individual lives within a humanitarian crisis of enormous scale.
