·22 min·2 clips

Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran just two hours after threatening to destroy a civilization.

The episode begins with host Puri Lucena introducing co-host Rosalía Lara, editor of ESG and intelligence at Expansión. They first discuss the breaking news of a two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, agreed upon just two hours after President Donald Trump issued an ultimatum threatening to destroy a civilization. The condition was Iran opening the Strait of Hormuz completely. Both sides claim victory. Next, the hosts move to Mexican politics, where the Senate approved an infrastructure law involving public-private partnerships. The opposition criticizes this, noting the ruling Morena party previously criticized such schemes and warning it may increase debt. They then shift to education, detailing Mexico's New Mexican School model implemented since 2023. UNESCO reports it lacks mechanisms to evaluate student learning achievements, with no national assessments since 2019. Mexico has withdrawn from international comparative tests, and PISA 2022 results placed Mexico 35th out of 37 countries. UNESCO data shows 9% of children aged 3-14 don't attend school, and 19% of adolescents lack access to upper secondary education. The episode ends on a positive note with Expansión's April issue featuring '30 Promises,' profiling business leaders under 40 in fields like FinTech, digitalization, and ESG. The hosts discuss how these stories reflect current business trends and can inspire young people.
