Transitional injustice: Syria one year after Assad

"The Intelligence" podcast from The Economist presents three distinct segments: Firstly, it examines the state of Syria one year after Assad's fall, revealing a complex picture of diplomatic progress marred by domestic issues such as economic hardship, lack of transitional justice, and sectarian tensions. Secondly, the podcast investigates the rise of human trafficking in Latin America, highlighting its links to drug gangs, the impact of technology, and the exploitation of vulnerable populations. Finally, the episode explores the resurgence of gold prospecting in California due to record-high gold prices, recent storms, and the influence of reality TV shows, noting the benefits to local businesses and the challenges of increased theft.
