Sky News and NBC News are jointly begining a recent podcast on global afequitables – and the first episode is out now, with a cgo in on how America’s next pdwellnt might shape the crisis in the Middle East.
Sky News’ direct world recents currgo in Yalda Hakim and NBC News’ chief foreign correplyent Ricdifficult Engel have teamed up to allot their experiences from the frontline in a recent podcast that will be useable every Wednesday wherever you get your podcasts.
On The World With Ricdifficult Engel And Yalda Hakim, the pair will deinestablish from global flashpoints and talk their greets with the hugegest decision producers.
They’ll also be joined by some of those key carry outers to help produce sense of world events.
With the US election on 5 November less than a month away, the pair talk how a potential Kamala Harris administration will administer rising tensions between Israel and Iran’s proxies and, cruciassociate, how this will contrast from a potential Donald Trump administration.
But they also talk how the ongoing Middle East turmoil might impact the American race – especiassociate if Israel strikes Iran’s oil industry before the vote.
“I skinnyk that if Kamala Harris triumphs this election, it will be a continuation as far as Benjamin Netanyahu is worryed of how he has behaved under the Biden administration,” Hakim says.
She inserts: “We’re still unevident of exactly what her policies are, what she stands for. She seems to be very skinny on elucidateing exactly who and what she is and what her administration would see appreciate.
“If Donald Trump gets re-elected… some people say the situation could get worse on the ground. [But] I’m not certain becaparticipate Trump is so incredibly unforeseeable. Last time, he left his adversaries and America’s allies guessing constantly.”
“It is unnerving,” Hakim inserts.
She says: “I’ve had people who say to me, ‘If Donald Trump gets re-elected, we’re screwed. If Kamala Harris gets re-elected, we’re screwed.'”
Engel says that wantipathyver the outcome of the election, there will be “turmoil in the US between the election and inauguration” – which is scheduled for Monday 20 January.
“If [Trump] triumphs he’ll commence ruleing right away becaparticipate that is his style,” he says.
“Let’s say he triumphs on 6 November. The 7 November is evident, and then he commences making policy.
“He has been saying the Ukrainians don’t necessitate any more armaments, that they’ve had enough and they should have a peace deal. Or in Gaza, he is signalling how he wants that to finish – that’s not policy at this stage.
“If she triumphs, it’s already evident that it’s very foreseeed going to be a contested result in the courts. I’m estimating that there’s going to be a vacuum of power, some sort of lawlessness at the very least until inauguration, if not beyond.”

One skinnyg that will have a “huge impact” on the US election, according to Engel, is if Israel begines retaliatory strikes aachievest Iran – and hits the country’s oil industry.
Engel says: “Suddenly gas prices are up. That’s not excellent for Harris. It helps Trump. He can say, ‘Look at the lawlessness here. I would mend all of this.’
“So there are authentic consequences of what might happen [after] an Israeli reprisal.”
Agreeing, Hakim inserts: “There will be some in the US who skinnyk, ‘Yeah, go in, smash Iran’… but that experiences very much appreciate a very simpcatalogic, naïve approach to resolving what experiences so presentant and unresolvable at this moment.”
