Texas conservatives are taking their anti-Muslim crusade to a new level: questioning whether Islam should even count as a religion. Frank and Dan look at the effort to redefine religious freedom so Christianity gets ever-expanding protections while Muslim beliefs and practices can be dismissed as merely "cultural" and therefore fair game for government restriction. Elsewhere, a transgender wedding in Bangladesh triggers a police inquiry; Israel turns away a delegation of American Christians headed to meet Palestinians; a pardoned January 6 rioter takes his anti-Muslim crusade to Dearborn; Arizona's Supreme Court says a pastor's recorded confession to child abuse isn't protected by clergy privilege; churches accuse DHS of spying on congregations protecting immigrants; and Texas's Ten Commandments classroom mandate moves closer to the U.S. Supreme Court.

In this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and West Indies international Kieran Powell sit down to discuss some of the biggest talking points shaping the world of cricket. The conversation begins in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), where the Guyana Amazon Warriors continue to impress with their performances and emerge as one of the teams to watch as the tournament develops. Jordan and Kieran assess what has been working for the Warriors and the key factors behind their strong start. Attention then turns to the international game, with a look at the Australian cricket team's recent batting struggles and the growing competitiveness of Bangladesh cricket ahead of their upcoming series. The hosts consider how the balance of power is shifting and why Bangladesh can no longer be underestimated, particularly in familiar conditions. The episode also tackles the recurring disciplinary and off-field issues within English cricket. Jordan and Kieran discuss professionalism, player responsibility and whether enough is being done to prevent damaging incidents from repeatedly overshadowing performances on the field. Away from the action, the hosts address concerns surrounding former Pakistan captain Imran Khan, discussing reports about his health while imprisoned in Pakistan and the wider humanitarian questions surrounding his situation. Finally, the episode looks ahead to a future PowettPlay discussion ranking and debating the most influential figures in the history of West Indies cricket from legendary players and captains to the individuals whose impact extended far beyond their statistics. From the CPL and Guyana Amazon Warriors to Australia, Bangladesh, English cricket, Pakistan and West Indies cricket history, this episode brings together the latest cricket discussion, analysis and opinion from Jordan Shannon and Kieran Powell. #PowettPlayPodcast #CricketPodcast #CricketNews #WestIndiesCricket #CaribbeanCricket #CPL2026 #CaribbeanPremierLeague #GuyanaAmazonWarriors #ShaiHope #AustraliaCricket #EnglandCricket #BangladeshCricket #ImranKhan #InternationalCricket #CricketDiscussion #CricketAnalysis #CricketFans Learn more about your ad choices.

Bangladesh, uno de los países más vulnerables del mundo a los ciclones, redujo drásticamente sus cifras de mortalidad en las últimas décadas gracias a un sistema comunitario de alerta temprana sostenido por miles de voluntarios locales dedicados. La diferencia entre la tragedia y la supervivencia resultó ser, en gran medida, una advertencia oportuna y verdaderamente bien recibida por la comunidad. Dios también envía advertencias antes de que la tormenta llegue por completo, a través de Su Palabra, de la conciencia personal o de personas que se atreven a hablar con honestidad. El Señor Jesús advirtió repetidamente sobre las consecuencias de ignorar la verdad, no para atemorizar a nadie, sino para proteger de verdad. Tal vez has recibido recientemente una advertencia que preferiste ignorar simplemente por incomodidad momentánea. Recibir corrección a tiempo no es debilidad espiritual; con frecuencia representa la diferencia exacta entre la ruina y la preservación completa. Así que, una advertencia recibida a tiempo puede salvar un pueblo entero. La Biblia dice en Proverbios 27:12: "El avisado ve el mal y se esconde; mas los simples pasan y llevan el daño". (RV1960).

They are also joined on the show by Cricinfo's Bangladesh Correspondent Mohammad Isam and the former Pakistan Head Coach Mickey Arthur. Was Bangladesh's victory over Australia the biggest shock in Test history? Why have Bangladesh suddenly produced a battery of fast bowlers? What have the celebrations been like back in the country? What will Pakistan need to do to compete against England this week? Why has Babar Azam's career seem to have stagnated? What's been the main reason behind Pakistan's decline in Test Cricket in the recent past?Listeners outside of the UK can hear live ball-by-ball commentary of England's three-match series against Pakistan on the talkSPORT Cricket YouTube Channel.Instagram: @talkSPORT_CricketYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9vsecLHNgTj-yoNumw63lQX: @Cricket_TS @NeilManthorp @Harmy611 @Isam84Hosts: Neil Manthorp and Steve HarmisonProducer: Scott Taylor Hosted on Acast.

Jeremy Zakis: Jeremy Zakis details the melodrama and unexpected struggles of the Australian cricket team during their series against Bangladesh in Darwin. Despite playing on home soil, the Australians fell significantly behind, leading to visible frustration and on-field tantrums. Zakis highlights an incident in which Mitchell Starc yelled at a Bangladeshi batter, as well as other players protesting rudely to umpires. He attributes the team's poor performance to Bangladesh's exceptional batting strength and their superior conditioning for Darwin's extreme humidity. Unlike the Australians, who are accustomed to dry heat, the Bangladeshi players thrived in these tropical conditions. Zakis characterizes this Bangladeshi squad as a black sheep whose performance has surprised everyone. He concludes that these bad days are a stark departure from the team's usual professionalism and raise concerns as they look ahead to the upcoming Ashes series. (2)

Mark Chapman is alongside former England captain Michael Vaughan, former England spinner Phil Tufnell discussing Bangladesh thrashing Australia, the new 'era' for England as they prepare for their Test Match against Pakistan and reflecting on the winners of The Hundred last weekend...
Three days after the final of the Hundred, England take on Pakistan for the first of three Tests. It means several England players have to rapidly turn their techniques and mindsets from lashing the white ball over the ropes (or trying to prevent it) to negotiating the red ball and bowling maidens. Simon Hughes, Simon Mann and Matt Prior consider how they will handle this transformation and what strategies Joe Root will adopt in his second stint as England captain. They also discuss curfews, Australia losing for their first time at home to Bangladesh and on the 100th anniversary of the legendary Jack Hobbs making an Ashes-seizing 100 at the Oval (on August 17th 1926) who is the greatest modern batsman they have seen.

This one is Claude Sonnet 5 - did a decent job. Got Gemini to do it at the same time and it was SHIT. --------------------------Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack open with an air-conditioner instalation story that would give any WHS officer a heart attack, before diving into the immigration debate consuming the Western world, Albo's cringeworthy podcast melon gag and the diplomatic fallout with Japan, Angus Taylor's Twitter misfire, a grim Newspoll for Labor, the conviction of former Bishop Christopher Saunders, the unravelling Mahmoud Fazal/Four Corners scandal, an AI Royal Commission, Israel's rejection of the Gaza peace plan, Ukraine's drone edge, a spot of Marxism 101, and a bumper sports wrap covering the Ashes build-up, Geelong's concussion waiver scandal and the NRL's new PNG and Perth franchises.00:00:26 — Cold open: Hong Kong air-con drama. Hong Kong Jack recounts tradesmen scaling the building exterior, tying off to a sewer pipe and rigging a platform in under an hour — a workplace safety non-starter back home.00:01:20 — Immigration policy in limbo. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke pulls his National Press Club address after Cabinet gets cold feet on migration numbers; One Nation capitalises on the vacuum.00:02:17 — Paul Kelly on the West's immigration reckoning. The hosts unpack Kelly's column on multiculturalism's failures in Europe versus its comparative success in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US, and why a clear pathway to national identity matters.00:04:23 — The politician/public disconnect. A Financial Times study (John Burn-Murdoch) showing big gaps between public and political opinion on migrant assimilation across Britain, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden.00:06:10 — Is the far right the cause or the symptom? A robust back-and-forth on whether One Nation, AfD, Reform UK and Le Pen's party are driving the backlash or simply capitalising on governments that lost control of migration systems.00:08:50 — Albo's podcast melon gag fallout. The PM's crass "melons" line about the Japanese Prime Minister on a comedy podcast draws a diplomatic complaint from Tokyo and calls for an apology he still hasn't given.00:10:39 — Why politicians chase the "youth" podcast circuit. Discussion of Albo's ties to Sandilands-style FM radio and whether the audience numbers justify the reputational risk.00:12:32 — Latika Bourke's double standard question. Would a corporate CEO survive the same scrutiny as a Prime Minister? The Jacks disagree on how novel the standard really is.00:14:14 — Angus Taylor's Twitter misfire. A dissected, over-written tweet accusing the "socialist" Albanese government lands badly — "people might think they're bumbling fools, but they don't think they're socialist."00:15:53 — Angus Taylor and the ICAC donation question. A circular exchange over an unresolved email regarding a potential donation tied to a group under ICAC scrutiny.00:17:52 — Coalition social media strategy. Jane Hume's five-a-day Instagram habit and whether the Coalition's messaging is landing with anyone at this point in the electoral cycle.00:18:52 — Productivity and work-from-home. Westpac CEO Anthony Miller warns rates could stay elevated into 2028 without a productivity fix; Victoria shelves its work-from-home legislation ahead of the planned 1 September start.00:21:36 — Red tape and the housing/business regulation debate. Building approval bottlenecks, the Coalition's building-standards rollback proposal, and why company/tax reporting (not ABN registration) is the real handicap for small business.00:24:14 — Newspoll: Labor's primary vote "plunges." Labor down to 29 percent (from 31), described by the Jacks as more "meandering" than plunging — with a look at how far off Labor is from its 34.5 percent election benchmark.00:25:31 — Kos Samaras/RedBridge on the new voter blocs. A breakdown of Labor's inner-city, under-45, migrant-heavy base; One Nation's mortgage-stressed, outer-suburban trades vote; and the Coalition's shrinking, wealthy, over-55 remnant — plus where the Jacks think the analysis oversimplifies.00:28:42 — How the Coalition lost its heartland. Reflections on 19 years of Coalition government since Howard, the failure to read demographic warning signs, and the loss of both the "asset rich" and "asset poor" ends of its old coalition.00:31:49 — Content warning: child sexual abuse. Former Bishop of Broome Christopher Saunders, 76, found guilty of one count of sexual penetration and multiple indecent assault charges against a young Indigenous man; sentencing yet to be scheduled.00:32:50 — Saunders' pattern of behaviour. Allegations of financial mismanagement, smuggling alcohol into dry Indigenous communities, a 2019 police raid uncovering exploitation material, and a Vatican finding he likely abused Indigenous youth.00:34:59 — The Bishop Ronald Mulkearns parallel. The Ballarat bishop's Royal Commission appearance and mysterious final holiday hosted by Saunders in Broome shortly before his death.00:37:06 — The Four Corners/Mahmoud Fazal scandal. Fazal's background as a self-described former Mongols bike gang sergeant-at-arms turned journalist; his Cocaine Nation and Meth Highway reports pulled from air, along with a Background Briefing program.00:38:33 — Media Watch's verdict. Linton Besser's assessment that Fazal was "embellishing his journalism," and how ABC's editorial oversight failed across two flagship programs.00:39:39 — The Jordan Shanks (Friendly Jordies) threat allegations. Fazal's alleged role relaying threats from the Alameddine crime family after Shanks' house was firebombed twice; Fazal disputes the death-threat characterisation.00:41:36 — Where journalism crosses into participation. Jack the Insider's personal rule against interviewing active criminals, and a wider discussion of when reporters become "players" rather than observers — including a detour to the "Poison Dwarf," Clayton Milne.00:46:20 — A 2006 ice epidemic documentary as the gold standard. A comparison piece where public health officials and police saw the crystal meth wave coming years before government — done properly, without masked, unverifiable sources.00:48:21 — South Australia's $3 million AI Royal Commission. Premier Peter Malinauskas announces the inquiry; the Jacks are sceptical it will produce much, suspecting it's more about attracting AI investment.00:49:27 — The AI investment bubble risk. Massive capital flowing into Anthropic, Meta and Google versus cheaper, competitive Chinese models — and what that imbalance could mean for the S&P 500's AI-heavy weighting.00:51:00 — Israel rejects Trump's 15-point Gaza plan. Distrust that Hamas will disarm, and why the stakes feel existential rather than abstract for Israelis.00:52:32 — Israel's 27 October election. Netanyahu's fragile coalition, Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Smotrich's collapsing poll numbers, and the growing backlash over ultra-Orthodox exemptions from IDF service.00:57:09 — Ukraine: Starlink access and drone warfare. Elon Musk restricting Ukrainian Starlink use against Russia, a declined meeting with Trump, and Ukraine's drone successes — including a joint exercise with US forces in Germany.01:00:29 — Reports of distress aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Unconfirmed accounts of sailors going overboard after roughly ten months of continuous deployment.01:01:52 — Stephen Kotkin on Marxism's enduring appeal. Why intellectuals keep returning to Marxist ideas despite the historical body count — and a tangent on campus recruitment, ASIO and the "special role" intellectuals imagine for themselves.01:05:15 — Iran, Cambodia and the fate of the intellectual class. Historical examples of revolutions turning on the intelligentsia that helped bring them about.01:06:06 — Sport check: the Ashes build-up begins. Australia's shaky start against Bangladesh, Steve Smith's lucky reprieve, and questions over Alex Carey's batting position and the middle order.01:08:24 — Selection headaches: Labuschagne and Nathan Lyon. Marnus Labuschagne's technical struggles and whether Lyon plays out the year, with the World Test Championship and next year's Ashes on the horizon.01:11:03 — Geelong's concussion contract waiver scandal. A player reportedly signing away his right to sue over concussion management; questions over why the club didn't submit the waiver to the AFL or AFLPA, and calls for points deductions rather than fines.01:16:04 — Jake Kelly's likely retirement and player consent. Whether it matters who initiated the waiver, and why players will "sign anything" to keep playing despite long-term brain injury risks.01:18:30 — NRL expansion: PNG Chiefs and Perth Bears. Tax-free salaries giving PNG Chiefs an effective cap advantage, players relocating to a purpose-built village in Port Moresby, and Perth's 2027 entry into the competition.01:22:36 — Poaching rugby fans, AFL's expansion and wildcard finals. The Perth Bears' leadership, Tasmania Devils' draft concessions, Nigel Lappin's coaching move, and early impressions of the AFL's new wildcard finals round.

Every Monday, Brad Foster joins us to share what's hitting the headlines in Australia. This week he'll discuss The Logie Awards, the Australian cricket team's loss to Bangladesh and why PM Anthony Albanese is in trouble over melons.

Donald Trump threatens Oman with military action over Hormuz negotiations with Iran; Government faces crucial Senate vote on gambling advertising; Australia resists calls for major changes after its shock Test loss to Bangladesh.
This week we're joined by Naz Hassan, the chef behind two of London's most talked-about Italian restaurants, Lupa and Ornella, alongside co-founders Ed Templeton and Theo James. Naz tells us how a drunken conversation at a Christmas party somehow turned into opening restaurants with one of Hollywood's biggest stars, why Lupa being fully booked for its first three months became both a blessing and a curse, and what it really takes to survive the hype surrounding a major London opening. Born in Bangladesh and raised in Milan, Naz also opens up about rejecting his Bengali identity as a teenager, experiencing racism in Italy and eventually finding his place in London's restaurant world. We hear about his years in some of the city's toughest kitchens, the infamous chef's kitchen where he considered quitting almost every day, and how working with Chet Sharma helped him reconnect with his South Asian heritage. Plus, we get into chef egos, restaurant culture, the Bengali restaurant he still dreams of opening and the greatest dishes he's ever eaten.You can book a virtual demonstration with Quooker to find the right setup for your kitchen and remember, until the end of August, if you use the code GO TO FOOD, you'll get free installation and a free Quooker glassware set.

Reaction as Bangladesh complete one of the greatest shocks in cricket history, beating the number-one ranked Test side in Australia for the first time by nine wickets.We hear from player-of-the-match Hasan Mahmud, Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, Australia's skipper Pat Cummins and also batter Steve Smith. Plus, analysis from Jim Maxwell, Corbin Middlemas, Jason Gillespie, Phil Jacques, Xavier Doherty and Ed Cowan.
Bangladesh have produced one of the biggest upsets in Australian Test cricket history, defeating Australia by nine wickets in Darwin to take a 1-0 series lead. Menners reflects on Bangladesh's remarkable performance, Mahedi Hasan's five-wicket haul and Hassan Mahmud's nine wickets, while Cameron Green's century provides Australia's only real positive from a disastrous Test. The big question now is what happens to Australia's top order. Should Jake Weatherald and Marnus Labuschagne be dropped? Is it time for Matt Renshaw to return? And does Nathan Lyon deserve to retain his place? Menners also asks whether this defeat is simply a shock one-off — or the beginning of a major turning point for an ageing Australian side.

Alison Mitchell, Charu Sharma and Brett Sprigg discuss the impact this will have on the sport. Three Test series get underway this week with Bangladesh in Australia, India travel to Sri Lanka and England host Pakistan. Brett says the Tigers deserve their chance to play against Australia and Charu believes spin will play a big role in the sub-continent if the monsoon rains stay away.

Bangladesh have stunned Australia on the opening day in Darwin, and Menners isn't holding back after one of Australia's worst days of Test cricket in recent memory. Australia were bowled out for 198 before Bangladesh finished the day firmly in control. Menners breaks down the batting collapse, questions some major decisions from the Australian camp and asks whether several players are now facing a much bigger problem than just one bad innings. There's also a big call on Marnus Labuschagne, questions about whether Australia's excuses around batting in Shield cricket really stack up, and plenty to discuss around the proposed changes to Sheffield Shield sessions. Plus, Menners weighs in on the latest developments involving Ash Gardner and the conflict-of-interest questions surrounding Australian women's cricket.

Hev, K-Mac, Hosko and Isaac are assembled at IKON Park for Hawthorn to take on Melbourne in the AFLW - and true to form, Hosko is being a menace in the commentary box. We've dug back into the history of AFLW, and found audio of both Hosko and K-Mac from their first seasons - where they perhaps weren't as polished behind a microphone as they are now. Merv Hughes joins the show from Darwin with a review of Day One of the first test between Australia and Bangladesh. In K-Mac's Royal Commission, she responds to an article asking why the AFL has given up a lucrative night for men's footy to put AFLW as a standalone game - and Hosko joins in with a passionate plea to give the AFLW the chances it needs to grow. Finally, Hawthorn star Aine McDonagh joins Hev and K-Mac on the boundary, and dishes a bit of dirt on the afterparty following the Australia vs Ireland game.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wasim Osman: From Finance to Scrum Master, a Deliberate Career Pivot Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "The homework should start a lot earlier than that. The person looking for a particular role should already be moving in that direction before they even start the journey." - Wasim Osman Wasim never planned to become a Scrum Master. He trained in finance and stock markets in the UK, but the pull toward software—and even 3D animation—had been there since he was young. When he realized the finance world wasn't for him, he made a move that looked like a detour and turned out to be a runway: he joined the people team at a tech company in Bangladesh, a branch of a New York-based firm. He didn't have the leverage to be picky, so he took the opportunity, learned how the engineering teams actually worked, and made himself useful. When the company started shifting from waterfall to agile and hosting Scrum certification events, Wasim was in the room organizing them. One day the head of engineering asked a "random question"—would he consider becoming a Scrum Master? For Wasim, it was an easy yes, because it was the direction he'd quietly been aiming at all along. He shadowed a senior engineer for a quarter, then took over a team of senior-most engineers who were patient with his mistakes. That patience built his confidence, and his willingness to keep his prior curiosity alive made the transition feel organic rather than forced. Self-reflection Question: What direction are you quietly moving toward right now, and what "homework" could you start today so the next opportunity feels organic instead of accidental?
