New wave of explosions kill more people in Lebanon

Exploding walkie-talkies have killed at least 14 and injure at least 450 in new attacks across Lebanon on Wednesday. The blasts come a day after exploding pagers killed 12 people, including two children, and left almost 3,000 in hospital. Israel still hasn’t commented on the events but its Defence Minister says the country has opened “a new phase in the war”. Also in the programme: the feminist reaction to the rape case of Gisele Pelicot; and as the company Tupperware files for bankruptcy, we explore its beginnings and how it changed the way we eat.

Reproductive Rights Fight Continues To Define Campaign

Donald Trump’s rhetoric on abortion care and reproductive rights has been all over the map this year, but his record — and that of the Republican party — is clear: he has bragged about ending the nationwide right to abortion access. The Kamala Harris campaign is intent on driving that message home for voters, including in a new ad highlighting the story of Hadley Duvall, who, as a child, was raped by her step-father. This episode: White House correspondent Deepa Shivaram, congressional correspondent Deirdre Walsh, and national political correspondent Sarah McCammon. The podcast is produced by Jeongyoon Han, Casey Morell and Kelli Wessinger. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
