In this edition of The World According to Irina Tsukerman, the bi-weekly geopolitical series on The KAJ Masterclass LIVE, host Khudania Ajay (KAJ) examines the Flydubai incident, the renewed Saudi-Houthi conflict and the wider security environment surrounding Iran and the Gulf. The discussion also considers developments in Ukraine and the wider Asian strategic landscape, asking what these rapidly evolving events mean for regional security and the choices facing governments around the world.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so what happens when you reverse the equation? After four decades as a professional photographer, Kirk Voclain found that writing a novel runs the same craft in mirror image: arrange a thousand words well enough and a picture plants itself in the reader's mind. From a spy thriller born of an airport-security scare to a G-rated ranch romance written on a dare, his books are built from real observation — down to the real photography gear and unchallenged gate access his characters exploit. His advice to photographers is the same as his advice to writers: learn the craft before you lean on the tools.

What does it mean to bear witness to the darkest corners of humanity — and still find light? That's the question Craig D. Forrest has lived with for more than four decades. An award-winning director and documentary filmmaker, he has covered terrorism, voodoo sacrifices, war zones, and cultic practices across more than 100 countries — and says those encounters have deepened rather than diminished his faith. In this conversation, Craig reflects on what it means to tell stories in a changing world, where technology gives almost everyone the power to tell them, but the responsibility for what we choose to tell remains human.
