A boxing promoter is calling for law changes to cover emerging combat sports that are going virtually unregulated. It comes as one well known MMA fighter is recruiting 32 fighter to take part in what he describes as one minute scraps, the ultimate winner to crowned king of the streets.

For the first time proper, the TARDIS is back on contemporary Earth, indeed in contemporary London, and The Doctor and Dod… uhh… the Doctor and new, groovy companions Ben and Polly face down the mechanical menace in the Post Office Tower and The War Machines. Master podcaster Steven Schapansky (@RadioFreeSkaro) and Doctor Who Historian Jon Preddle (https://broadwcast.org/) join to help analyse this most seminal of stories, as Season 3 draws to a close and Doctor Who marches on in a new format under Innes Lloyd and Gerry Davis. Then it's off on a world tour, as Jon talks us through the sales process, censorship in Australia and New Zealand and how and why four prints of The War Machines ended up in Nigeria, to be found by Ian Levine in the 1980's. This is the deepest of deep dives and summarises years of Jon's cutting-edge research. We also explore why, perhaps, The Wheel in Space wasn't in Jos when Enemy and Web were recovered over ten years ago!

Last year, VICE News Correspondent Isobel Yeung went undercover to understand how international business deals were being brokered in Guyana. This small country in South America has one of the fastest growing economies in the world right now. Newly discovered natural resources have attracted a lot of foreign investment from China and the U.S., placing Guyana in the middle of a tug-of war for soft power in the region. Recently, infrastructure contracts - roads, bridges, and a hydroelectric power plant - have been awarded to Chinese companies. In this episode of VICE News Reports, Yeung digs into how business is done in Guyana and uncovers allegations of corruption that reach far into the country's highest levels. This episode was produced by Steph Brown and edited by Ashley Cleek and Stephanie Kariuki. Special thanks to Belle Cushing, Daniel Vergara, Jika Gonzalez, Craig Thomson and Karishma Vyas.

THE messy divorce of disgraced former federal politician Craig Thomson and his ex-wife Zoe has taken another ugly turn, with the one-time MP spending Saturday  night behind bars after being charged with harassing her. IN what's been dubbed a “blatant” act of political censorship, Prime Minister Scott Morrison's account on the Chinese-owned social media site WeChat  has been taken over and rebranded as a pro-Beijing propaganda outfit. TENNIS is paying the price for embracing Roger Federer, ­Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and nobody else, with the game's No.1 entertainer Nick Kyrgios  hoping his charge towards an Australian Open doubles title helps breathe fresh life into a “dying” sport.

We're on the match with Shelley's army! France 2019 here we come! The two Johns and Krys are in jubilant mood this week at being able to utter words that haven't been mentioned in over twenty years. Thanks especially go to those wonderful Polish women who held Switzerland to a draw, a point Krys makes repeatedly because he thinks its funny. Its another bumper week as there's a full league fixture card across all the divisions, as well as the successful end to European qualification for two of our teams. The Europa League group stages away, although in Celtic's case there's some familar faces in there. The quality of refereeing comes into questions as per usual, with the ghost of Les Mottram being invoked while the old boys network on the review panel ensures Willie Collum is bizarrely vidicated for a second straight week. Meanwhile, Craig Thomson has his favourite red card out yet again, but apparently some tackles at Tynecastle are only worth a yellow. There's talk of the managerial merry-go-round which is picking up pace despite us only just getting into September, and a look ahead to the two Scotland games with new captain Andy Robertson leading the team. And of course, we have charity chat. There's Celtic v Liverpool on Saturday, there's Kris Doolan's generosity, and there's John's charity match at Falkirk Stadium on Sunday. All the details are with John, just check out @jbleasdale81 on twitter. Get along if you can on Sunday, and if you can't then you can still donate through Just Giving.

Tuesday Team Talk - Episode 4 A St Johnstone orientated podcast produced by the sports team at Hospital Radio Perth. This episode features interviews with Tommy Wright and Craig Thomson..

We keep the slump rolling with another episode, as the hoops win away again. JP, Yahmpy and myself discuss the last 3 games, as Celtic's unstoppable form continues. Craig Thomson gets it, as does Kris Boyd, we look at a possible replacement for Warburton and Yahmpy discusses Boyata's signature killer move as we fire a volley @ Sevco and the Police.

It's another week of technical difficulties unfortunately, and we're not just talking about the Celtic defence. Krys is joined by John and Andy once again to look back at all the weekend's action, but obviously given their affiliations they focus mainly on one game in particular. What was Craig Thomson thinking on a number of occasions? Can Aberdeen now go on an mount a title challenge? Is it too early to tell? Is it too early for a knee jerk reaction? We cover all of this and more as we also look back on the Friday night game, a later charity bet scupper, and when Connie met Keith. The technical difficulties aren't the only silences though as some of Krys's comments are met with a similar response. Could next week be the week we get a charity bet win and a gremlin-free podcast? We can only hope. Thanks as always to McBookie for providing the stakes. Follow sffpodcast On Twitter to keep abreast of the latest charity bet odds, and to just generally join in with the chat.

It's a two man podcast this week as John joins Krys for a long chat about a number of talking points. It's just a pity Krys didn't have his microphone plugged in properly for the first fifteen minutes! Celtic in and out of Europe and their possible transfer moves is followed up by the League Cup second round action and third round draw, before turning to the real meat of the podcast and the woeful performances of some of Scotland's supposed finest referees. Andrew Dallas, Steven McLean, Stephen Finnie, Craig Thomson, Willie Collum and Bobby Madden all get analysed to death before we get supplied with a statement from Stewart Regan defending them all. Typical. The Scotland double header against Georgia and Germany then gets a preview before moving on to attempt another charity bet win from the lower leagues after disappointment this week.

The Australian Building and Construction Commission, the ABCC, was well armed and tough. This was especially so for the bully-boy unions in Victoria and Western Australia, where builders had to pay for peace, says Andrew Bolt. KPMG says that as a result the community was $5.9 billion a year better off. Labor promised to get rid of it in the 2007. Kevin Rudd didn’t move fast enough for the union bosses. Money talks. At the last election the Electrical Trades Union gave a $325,000, not to Labor, but to the Greens. You see, the Greens had opportunistically promised to help abolish the ABCC. Its failure? It had brought peace to the construction industry. The union bosses - and the Greens - didn’t like that. Presumably the ABCC was doing terrible things to the environment. Or do the Greens support thugs punching police horses? As Andrew Bolt says, Julia Gillard understood this unsubtle message. She delivered.. The powerful ABCC was wound up . Almost as soon as this happened, the thugs were out on the streets. Just as the people smugglers took their cue from Rudd and Gillard winding up the Pacific solution. The ABCC was replaced with the Fair Work Building and Construction agency. There’s that word “fair” again. It means weak and useless. This is the tactic of the Gillard and Rudd governments. They create powerless agencies like Fair Work Australia. Remeber Fair Work Australia took over three years to investigate Craig Thomson and the Health Services Union. Even then they didn't produce a brief on evidence the prosecutors could use. Remember too, the powerless Corgill inquiry into the five or so billion dollars BER rort. Compare that with the open powerful Royal Commission into the Australian Wheat Board under a respected judge which John Howard established. He also agreed that if the judge needed additional terms of reference these would be given. The hearings gave Kevin Rudd an evening TV platform to attack the government. But John Howard did the right thing Is it the government doesn’t know what it is doing? Or are open borders, thugs on the streets and thugs ruling the construction industry part of the Gillard government agenda?

The Craig Thompson affair should be referred to his ultimate judges, the people of his electorate. This case demonstrates the need for a right of recall of any MP. Or indeed the whole government. Wading through the spin about his succes in pork barrelling for his electorate, and unbelievably, imposing financial transparency on his union, his case is that he’s the victim of identity theft. So why didn’t he go to the police? He claims Channel 7 reporters were lurking under his bathroom window while his pregnant wife was taking a shower. Channel 7 that says that's the first time they heard of that. Why didn't he go to the police? Why didn't he complain to the broadcasting regulator? He claimed his defamation case was settled. It wasn’t. He - actually the Labor Party - even had to pay the newspaper’s costs. His defence yesterday was implausible at best. The people should be able to recall him. Now.

What is this presumption of innocence Julia Gillard is going on about? It only applies criminal trials. It means the Crown has to prove its case. Beyond reasonable doubt. It doesn't apply in relation to Fair Work Australia. The onus there is on the employer. And who was responsible for this? Julia Gillard. And it was Julia Gillard’s Fair Work Australia which spent over three years investigating Craig Thomson.. They found 167 breaches. Approximately half $1 million taken from the union. By Craig Thompson, they said Julia Gillard told the ACTU that this distressed her. It dismayed her. It disgusted her. When she came back from Europe she said the line had been crossed. So Craig Thomson was suspended from the ALP. So why is she should talking about a presumption of innocence? A principle which only applies in criminal trials. There was no presumption of innocence against the commandant Of the Australian Defence Forces Academy when Minister Stephen Smith objected to the prosecution of a female cadet going ahead. A process subsequently found to be proper. There was no presumption of innocence by Labor when they joined in a witch-hunt against former Governor- General Peter Hollingworth. There was no presumption of innocence when allegations were made against ministers in the Howard government over the so-called "children overboard" affair and the wheat board scandal. It is ridiculous to use a principle which applies only in the criminal law to the legitimate discussion of the standards of performance standards of performance of our politicians. The parties and factions have taken a stranglehold on our political life. By doing so they have minimised the role and function of the people - as envisaged in our constitution. The proper answer is for a process to be established to allow the people by petition to recall any or all members of Parliament. This would have to be done by a vote triggered by a petition supported by an adequate number of electors. The good sense of the Australian people will of course ensure that this is not abused. After all it was the people of the several states who, as the preamble says, “ relying upon the blessings of Almighty God “ agreed to unite in our indissoluble Federal Commonwealth under the crown . It's the people's Commonwealth. The people’s country. It doesn't belong to Julia Gillard or the politicians. Give us back our country!

The Craig Thompson affair has highlighted one fundamental problem with the way our system of government has deteriorated. If Australia is a democracy, why are the people powerless between elections? But since Federation the political parties- with smaller and smaller memberships - have gained a stranglehold on the system. They have given themselves privileges and advantages never dreamt of by our founders. Taxpayers even fund their campaign expenses. And far from representing the people who elected them, too many politicians take orders from their party and even their factional bosses. They represent their party bosses. Not the people. Even at elections, the effective choice has been predetermined by a small clique. The Craig Thomson affair is the result. And not the only one. The only way to counter this undemocratic stranglehold is to give the people the right to recall any elected reserved representative or a whole Parliament to an election. This could be effected by a constitutional amendment. The only way to clean up the mess that we are in – a mess created by the politicians – is to empower the people to act as a check and balance on the politicians. Do sign our Petition calling on the parliaments to act.
