Amelia Lester

Not one word of English.

The whole show's in Spanish.

The crowd knew all the words.

He was obviously overwhelmed by how much passion there was for him in Sydney, two sold out shows like that, flags from all over the world.

And the fact that I don't speak Spanish, so I couldn't understand what he was saying, did not matter even a bit.

The vibes were high.

But I don't know, I feel like with the exception of boy bands, which I know obviously is the origin story of Harry Styles, there used to be a bit of sneering about guys, hot manly guys dancing.

It was like, you know, that's not what cool people do.

And I just love that that's been turned on its head.

I was trying to learn a lot of the words to my favourite Bad Bunny songs before the show and this is why you need to learn languages when you're young because when you're older and, you know, you've got a bit of the brain fog, you think you've got it and then it's fallen out of your ear and you're like, damn it, and the owl from Duolingo just is shouting at you again.

Anyway, frivolous dancing out of the way.

When I looked up for my Bad Bunny algorithm, there was no getting around the fact that the world is dealing with some very serious news this weekend.

America and Israel had launched an attack on Iran.

Dual operations, America's called Epic Fury and Israel's called Roaring Lion, hit more than 500 targets across Iran and killed Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, who has ruled the country since 1989.

Now, thank God Amelia Lester is here today because Amelia's other job, as regular Outlouders will know, is an editor at Foreign Policy magazine.

And you're very well equipped to answer all our questions about this.

So my first one is, how are we meant to feel about what happened on Saturday night?

Because I'm seeing very different opinions across the internet.

When you say that the US and Israel acted sort of unilaterally on this, would the usual procedure be that there would have been international agreement that this was going to happen?

I saw in Trump's address after it when he was wearing his USA baseball cap, he basically said, and I paraphrase, that lots of presidents before him wanted to do what he's done.
