<itunes:subtitle>As President Barack Obama begins his second term, will the US continue to give mixed messages about Syria?</itunes:subtitle>
<itunes:summary>Empire looks at the history of the US relationship with Syria and the current state of the armed uprising with interviewees: Richard Murphy, the former US ambassador to Syria; Douglas Little, a history professor at Clark University; Hasan Abu Hanya, an expert on Islamic movements; Michael Scheuer, the former chief of the CIA bin Laden Unit; and Abu Hasan, a Jabhat al-Nusra commander in Syria.

<itunes:subtitle>After devastation in Gaza and a victory at the UN, what is next for the Palestinian people? Guests: Peter Beinart, Ethan Bronner, Tony Karon, Rashid Khalidi.</itunes:subtitle>
<itunes:summary>The dawn of a Palestinian state has been a long time coming. After 65 years of dispossession, 45 years of occupation, and 20 years of failed peace attempts, on Thursday Palestine took one step closer to joining the community of nations.  With a final vote of 138 to 9, an overwhelming majority of nations at the UN General Assembly voted to recognise Palestine as a non-member state. This upgrade puts Palestine on par with the Vatican, and also could allow Palestinian claims to be filed in the International Criminal Court. This recognition came just days after another in the long line of catastrophes Palestinians have faced. Under a brutal Israeli bombardment of Gaza, nearly 200 Palestinians were killed and hundreds more were wounded. Empire asks: Must the Palestinian dream of a state be Israel's nightmare? And what does the path to a just solution look like?</itunes:summary>

<itunes:subtitle>The voters have chosen, but what will the next four years bring?</itunes:subtitle>
<itunes:summary>The voting is over and President Obama has won a second term.  This election took place against a background of rallies and conventions, social media, biting political satire, and billions of dollars of television commercials blanketing the airwaves. Through it all, the debate on the role of the federal government became increasingly polarised.  The US has not been this divided since perhaps the civil war. But this is a battle that has been brewing for decades.</itunes:summary>

<itunes:subtitle>After the first truly democratic elections in a generation, will Egypt become a secular, religious, or military state?</itunes:subtitle>
<itunes:summary>Making history at the epicenter of the Arab world, Egypt has democratically elected and inaugurated an Islamist and a former political prisoner as its new president.

For a moment the country can take a breath, as the daily grind of getting a country back to work takes over.  

But while one issue is resolved, many others remain – the future of the parliament, a constitution still unwritten and a military that seems determined to hold on to control of much of the Government and a substantial segment of the country’s economy.</itunes:summary>
