"Well, it's so nice to talk to you, Heather. Before we get started, and I get deep into the questions that I want to ask you today. I usually have a few quick fire questions to ask you which means you should give me a short response and we'll get to know you a little bit better. So first off, where are you right now and who are you with? I am in Vienna, Virginia. Our most expensive tour so far. And I am here with my husband. I have twins who are 13 and 11 year old and a 9 year old dog at a brand new puppy. Aw. How brand new? He is 5 months old and we've had him for two months. And he chooses chaos on the daily. Can we watch a lot of puppy videos, but we have very adult dog. So Vienna, Virginia. Not exactly the world's most exotic location. What countries have you been in before this? We started in aerosol, Mexico, which is one of the hottest places on the earth, and then we went to Kraków Poland. We were next in Managua Nicaragua, and then I will admit our favorite post came next, which was Buenos Aires, Argentina. Awesome. I have not been to any of those places yet. So when you think about the things that you've brought around the world with you, what is the most impractical thing that you've brought with you? I stupidly bought very mass quantity of Polish pottery. And it's fine to have something that you collect from a post, but try not to make it heavy. Are we talking like 20, 30, a hundred? Oh no. I can't even speak of it. It's bad. Do you at least get to use it to eat your ultimate comfort food? Yes. Well, kind of, my ultimate comfort food is weird. I'm originally from Rhode Island, and we have something called party pizza

"Been discussing and I'm so inspired by the value of our diplomatic core. Have you in your 35 years of work as a diplomat? Have you ever thought much about the role of the medieval jester? You know, I'm just fascinated how in the Middle Ages they didn't have a diplomatic corps, but the king paid the jester to be annoying to go out from the castle to go into the barrios and learn what was going on in the gutters and with the people who were different than the people inside the walls of the castle, and then the gesture would come back and tell the king the truth. I remember back in the 1980s, being upset with foreign service staff that seemed to be doing just the opposite. You know, they'd go all the way to Nicaragua, and they'd have dinner on top of the big hotel in Managua, as the intercontinental hotel, and they made policy by talking with local elites and never getting out into the barrios. They ended up telling the king not what he needed to know, but what he wanted to know. Does that relate to your challenge as a diplomat and did you ever get that medieval gestures angle? Very much so. So I think for us to do our job the way it needs to be done to really add value we have to get out of the castle as you put it. When I was in Bulgaria, I tried to get to every province in every corner of the country and not just meet with officials and business people, but with people from all walks of life and frequently those that are people who are very excited to have a chance to talk to American diplomats, but then also it's critical for people to be able to tell the truth and this is where we get in trouble if people are afraid to say what they know to be true and only say what they think their bosses want to hear..

"And that's one of the ways that they were initially disarmed on secondly native americans by virtue of their cultural practice of hunting with smooth bore muskets. They had they had Incredible marksmanship and they specifically targeted officers. Knowing that these these officers were were key to the command and control of of any eighteenth century european force. And so that's that's another way. That natives sewed disorganization and terror in the british ranks and made it impossible for the british to to rally or or become Organized in in in any way into to accentuate this terror natives would would sometimes all upon individual soldiers. There's one of my favorite examples. It's it's a newspaper account. That i found late in my research of A british officer company commander who Was was felled early in the battle by by native fire and lay wounded on the ground. And this This newspaper account relates. How native warriors came in upon the wounded officer and either with with war clubs or tomahawks killed him in in plain sight of his enlisted soldiers and an scalped him and then ran back into the The woods so all in all the best way to summarize. Managua halo is this was a roughly about a four hour battle in which two out of every three british soldiers who cross them inaugur. Haleiwa were killed or wounded in that space of time and the experience for the enlisted soldiers is. Is you almost sympathize with these with these men who had to fight with with With with very little officer leadership and basically surrounded by paul of smoke in which they couldn't see their enemies at all and yet knowing in their minds that if they tried to surrender they might face death by tomahawks or workloads or perhaps torture and.

"The campaign begins in alexandria virginia in april of seventeen fifty five it has a fairly straightforward objective Radical army of of roughly about twenty six hundred personnel is. They're going to go across the mountains and capture the french fort duquesne with a conventional siege artillery train. And what they what they encounter. in in in the first exposure to the the other face of battle is just the foreign landscape the landscape itself becomes part of the way that they imagine and experience the the enemy ultimately One of the things that i brought out even more powerfully in in this section than i did in my in my book was the ways that british regulars who had no experience fighting against native americans at least in in in braddock force. These soldiers began to imbibe stories about native american warfare and its practices from their american counterparts the provincial soldiers who were who were part of braddock expedition and so that that that forms the the first mental image of what might happen if these regular troops have to encounter native americans and during the march Which is which is very arduous in exhaustive because of the labor involved in in building a road british soldiers do begin to encounter on native american scouts. Who are studying the the british columnists as it's dancing over the mountains occasionally. The native american allies of the of the french will will kill isolated Teamsters or civilians or soldiers who are out in the woods looking for horses stray horses et cetera They even encounter at one point in the march Warning signs that native americans have scrawled on on trees which is a very. It's a it's a classic custom in in eighteenth century Native were were fair in the east. So again these these things really build this this The sense of of the unknown in the regulars mines and the The real drama of managua halo is that it's it's a battle that occurs in just such a completely unexpected fashion. The british felt that After they had successfully crossed managua hilla river which they they believed was the most likely the most logical place where an enemy force. What ambush them so again. That's their way of thinking about about tactics. They didn't expect that they would face a battle right after getting over this this this important obstacle and so the managua halo occurs at the wrong time in every way in terms of the terrain in terms of the psychology of the british soldiers. Going from a moment of triumph of of a sense of almost palpable victory to Facing an unexpected opponent and this battle unfolds with such repeatedly that it really just as horrifying experience for the british soldiers. One of my favorite illustrations is a a private soldier in one br addicts regiments the forty four th regiment. His name is duncan cameron. This soldier was a. He's an enlisted soldier..

According to the Red Cross. More than two million people in the region were affected by floods and landslides caused by the hurricane. Then this week, another hurricane Hurricane iota made landfall in Central America delivering yet another blow to the region. The two storms back to back aren't only devastating to communities in Central America, but are also complicating efforts to mitigate covert 19. Joining us now to talk about what's happening on the ground is Jeff EARNS two freelance journalist based in Honduras. Jeff Thanks for being with us For having me. So what are conditions on the ground in Honduras right now? Right now. Much of Honduras is underwater, particularly in the Northwest Sula Valley region, which is home to about two million people, and it's really the economic motor. Of the country, So the fact that so much of this area in particular is underwater is really indicative of how damaging it is. Given that roughly 40% of the GDP or more is produced in this region, but really after iota we have much more widespread damage. A lot across the whole country was a much larger storm. So just particular across the North Coast and and the West, there's still rising waters in some parts. We've lost a lot of bridges and roads and other infrastructure. There's many people are currently displaced by the flooding. The storm's first struck Nicaragua before going through Honduras and Guatemala. What were the effects in those two countries? With a to it was damaging. But it went through a pretty lowly populated area of Nicaragua. But iota was so much larger. That it really hit harder in Nicaragua, and even the winds were harder to sew. In Nicaragua. We're seeing pretty widespread damage flooding even in the capital, Managua. And south of it to Nicaragua's pretty devastated this 0.2. You've been reporting on this region in Honduras for awhile have how have the government's responded to efforts on the ground? The government's response has been heavily criticized ahead of eight actually scheduled this special holiday for that week week in in order order to to try try to to Remote Remote domestic domestic tourism tourism and and stimulate stimulate the the economy, economy, which which has has been been really really hit hit hard hard by by the the cove cove in in 19 19 pandemic, and there was a clear reticence by the government to Cancel that vacation, so they did not emit alerts or or evacuation orders, which led Tens of thousands of people in completely caught off guard being and then ended up getting trapped on the roof, some for as many as five days. And, of course, That led to two more deaths, which we really don't know how much yet because the water Has never been able to fully received from eight to before We got hit by iota, so there's really clear negligence by the government here and then in terms of responding They're completely overwhelmed by it. And they clearly unprepared and there's a real question of how they're spending. Their resource is the government just a year ago. Just from Israel. This Folks from war and yet their emergency response unit doesn't have the boats necessary to go to the healthy, strong currents that was seen from the footing in order to rescue people. Until the water gets down. The people are very upset, definitely more than ever with with the government and this could definitely lead to even more political instability than we've seen down here in the past and that political instability Could also sperm or migration out of the region.

They really have nothing to lose, and they see migrating as the quickest way to be able to help their families to rebuild and and recoup everything they've lost. United States government has limited at least one of the Trump administration migration from many of these countries. At the same time, it's asked many Central American countries to help it with its asylum policies. Has the U. S government sent any aid? To these countries as they struggled to deal with the blows from these hurricanes. The lack of leadership from the U. S. Following this crisis is really Shocking. There's been no word from the State Department or from the White House, other than U S aid, which is down here most recently after Iota they designated $17 million to the region. Half of which is going to Honduras and then Also the U. S. Military, based on here has been a source of rescue missions, which has definitely been very helpful. But $17 million We're talking about billions and billions of dollars in damage. And really in 1998 when Hurricane Mitch hit, which is the worst natural disaster in center America To date, it was US leadership that mobilized support from the global community. And that is completely lacking at this point. President elect Biden has expressed his concern and support for the region, so there's hope that when he takes office He will take up that traditional leadership role of the U. S.

Monocle 24: The Briefing
Robert Mugabe will have private burial at national Heroes' Acre
"Last week's death of former former Zimbabwean tyrant Robert Mugabe at the age of ninety five presented his country with a problem if from the worst problem with which Mugabe presented Zimbabwe during he's later decades of deranged misrule. How does one commemorate the passing of a figure who was both hero and villain in Mugabe's case indeed both with the founder and destroyer of his nation after an amount of agonizing it has now been decided that Mugabe will be interred in the National Heroes Acre in Harare Laura a public memorial ceremony will be held on Sunday one joined in the studio with more on this bond monocle twenty regular Georgina Godwin Georgina as our listeners are probably aware you are yourself Zimbabwean and I remember we spoke at the time of Mugabe's removal by coup data at how we had that atwells that he was no longer enough and what an I guess a big mental adjustment that was for generations of Zimbabweans. How are we is it adjusting to the fact that he's no longer here at all. You know I think people feel slightly cheated in a way that he went out really with a bit of a whimper not a bang that we and indeed he probably expected and he's no longer there but I gather that in his last few months. He wasn't all there mentally anyway. If you look at the photograph few months well I I mean from when he started wearing you know dribbles and chuck suits but and obviously as you point out his his last years were were he was in the grip of definitely something probably dementia but for him to be dead is something that's quite odd because what you're seeing in Zimbabwe's as you alluded to is people wanting still to hate him but also really wanting to acknowledge the role that he played in in in the formations the country and say so there's quite a lot of them big dichotomy between how people feel because us as I think we discussed at the time if Mugabe is say had sort of cheerfully stepped down from office circa the late eighties and sort of idled into a retirement of giving elections and writing books he would be regarded as one of the twentieth century's heroic figures wouldn't they completely and utterly and he would have got a hero's funeral. Oh hang on the funeral which does prompt the question though that who who turns up for Mugabe's Hero's funeral thousands of people have been attending the lying in state. At referrers stadium in Harari who still is Mugabe's constituency well at the formal proceedings. You'll have a lot of heads of state state. I think Cyril Ramaphosa is coming from South Africa and various other people from from around the continent impacts further afield but in terms of ordinary people what generally happens in in in situations like this is that people have Boston and their promised food and those are the two things that people have that they don't have any fuel in Zimbabwe so they wouldn't be able to get there by themselves. They don't have the money money for bus fare and they're desperate to eat so if you promise people all of that they will turn up much. I mean I'm sympathetic to an extent extent or to this extent with the current Zimbabwean government. You have to acknowledge his passing some how you have to do something if not not what is being done what other suggestions have people made there was an argument of course to whether he should be buried in National Heroes Acre. But where else would you put him well. He is family. It appeared wanted him buried in his home area of Qatar which is where he comes from and I think would have been one way around it but it appears that the government was really pushing to have him in heroes. Acre which apparently he had not wanted himself. There was another really interesting piece of not not legislation but something else he put in his will. I think which was that his wife Grace Mugabe was to stay with the casket at all times until he was buried therefore what he's doing doing that is guaranteeing her starring role in his final Hurrah. Do you get the sense that the current government and we should remind ourselves that the current President Emmerson Mnangagwa was for many years Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe's kind of conciliatory if you will are they trying to reanimate the myth of Mugabe the liberator to to their own ends. I think that that would certainly serve a purpose that the end but I mean at the same time time. Mugabe's very useful is somebody that you can up lay all the blame on and say look it wasn't us it was the previous guy where clean we're going forward and of course that's what the what Managua A and his cronies would like us to think that this is a completely new dispensation. It really isn't make no mistake.

It's complicated: Zimbabweans see Mugabe's legacy as mixed
"Former president of zimbabwe robert mugabe has died at the age of ninety five. He was is a schoolteacher turned guerrilla fighter who helped to topple white rule in zimbabwe. Only to then lead the country to the brink of economic ruin his successor president emerson managua said in a message on twitter quote commander mugabe was an icon of liberation a pan africanist who dedicated his life to the emancipation and empowerment norman of his people his contribution to the history of our nation will never be forgotten our deputy africa bureau chief gabrielle steinhaeuser is in capetown so gabrielle. Tell me a bit more about how mr mugabe ended up in power so mugabe came to power in nineteen eighty initially as prime minister of zimbabwe <hes> having sort of liberated his country from the british and and and also white minority government that followed and in his his first few years he really kept warm relations with his predecessor they would regularly have t- you know and he i think he was was honored by the british and he will succeed as this and of enlightenment need a he was a schoolteacher. You know he was educated. He we build a very strong education system zimbabwe but you right that the way he'll be remembered is a bit more complicated. I think it's a bit of a complicated legacy. I would say for most imbaba winds. They will remember him for the brutality and economic hardship of his final decades in power where the economy really spiraled and off any kind of opposition was brutally repressed but then you know you have other leaders in africa who really especially here in south africa really remember him for the support he gave them in their old liberation struggle so we had a very sort of hard shelled message from the ruling party the african national congress in south africa so the lauding him for his contribution to bringing the an and to apartheid and how is zimbabwe doing now. It's actually a really kind of sad adds to that because after he finally resigned resigned than i was in harare you know tens of thousands of people just storming the streets in celebration and there was so much optimism not only among zimbabweans but also among western governments who were ready and companies who are keen to engage in an invest. I think what we've seen over the last nearly two in years. There's a lot of that optimism plate fade away so it's hard to kind of look at mugabe's staff this this point to to a story of decline because it seems like the decline unfortunately continues

The vice president took this on Twitter and he said, this step was taken under the principle of reciprocity in response to US administrations, deliberate attacks on Turkish economy that is a feeling shared across Turkey amongst the pro government people, government supporters that Turkish economy is targeted, and there should be a response and the government is acting in line with that. Having said that these terrorists will not actually have a very serious impact. The United States is the fourth largest source of imports. Turkey, it accounts, twelve billion dollars of imports.
