The Ashes Daily 2025, 1st Test wash-up: A two-day Test brings many questions to consider. For the winners, is Travis Head up top for Brisbane after his all-timer? If so, what does that mean for Usman Khawaja's career? And for the defeated, are they capable of the introspection many believe they require to evolve into a fighting force on lively pitches? Bharat Sundaresan joins Adam to ponder this, recorded alongside the blameless Perth pitch.

The Ashes Daily 2025, 1st Test, Perth Day 2: We thought the first day in Perth was crazy, but the second was perhaps even more so. England continued on their merry way, in terms of game style and in terms of the regular shedding of wickets, but things still felt fairly close given the nature of the scores to date. Scott Boland had his comeback, Mitchell Starc completed his set, but eventually the day was handed over to one Travis Head, makeshift opener. Strap yourselves in for what happened next.

In Governing Forests: State, Law and Citizenship in India's Forests (Melbourne UP, 2024), Arpitha Kodiveri unpacks the fraught and shifting relationship between the Indian State, forest-dwelling communities, and forest conservation regimes. The book builds on years of fieldwork across the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Odisha, and Karnataka with forest-dwelling communities, Adivasi and Dalit activists, lawyers, and bureaucrats, to tell a turbulent story of battling for environmental justice. Kodiveri traces the continuing rhetorics of conservation and sovereignty in the forest practices of the colonial and the postcolonial Indian State, the entanglements between the climate crisis, resource extractivism, and eco-casteism, and credits the forest-dwelling communities for finding courageous and creative ways of securing their access and stewardship of forest resources. Governing Forests hopes for the possibility of “healing of historical antagonisms” between conservationists and forest dwellers through a co-productive model Kodiveri calls “negotiated sovereignty”, a governance paradigm rooted in a jurisprudence of care and repair. Arpitha Kodiveri is an environmental law and justice scholar and assistant professor of political science at Vassar College. Raghavi Viswanath is a postdoctoral researcher and teaching fellow at SOAS, University of London. Her research, supported by the Leverhulme Trust, examines how pastoralists claim grazing rights under India's Forest Rights Act 2006 and how the everyday processes of staking such claims has been impacted by the authoritarian turn in India.

Get ready for a fiery, passionate deep-dive into The Ashes 2025/2026 as Jordan Shannon and West Indies star Kieran Powell return on the PowettPlay Podcast to dissect a dramatic start to the series. After England went from a commanding position in the 1st Test in Perth to a crushing defeat, Jordan arrives deflated, frustrated, and searching for answers - while Kieran reminds him (not too gently) that he did predict this exact collapse. The hosts break down Travis Head's unbelievable century, analysing how his game-changing knock flipped the momentum of not just the Test, but potentially the entire Ashes series. They discuss England's tactical missteps, Australia's ruthless response, and how such a shift might influence the remaining battles in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and beyond. Looking ahead, Jordan fights to stay optimistic about England's chances of turning the Ashes around, highlighting what Brendon McCullum, Ben Stokes, and the squad must do to regain control. Meanwhile, Kieran isn't holding much hope offering a blunt, unfiltered assessment of where England stand and why Australia may already have one hand on the urn. Whether you're an England die-hard, an Australia fan enjoying the chaos, or a cricket lover seeking sharp analysis, emotional honesty, and world-class insight, this episode delivers everything you need to stay plugged in. #Ashes2025 #TheAshes #EngvAus #EnglandCricket #AustraliaCricket #CricketPodcast #PowettPlayPodcast #CricketTalk #PerthTest #TravisHead #Bazball #SportsPodcast #CricketFans #1stTest #Perth #Ashes #AustraliavsEngland1stTest #CricketNews #CricketAnalysis #CricketLovers Learn more about your ad choices.

“If I had been enslaved for a year or two, I might not be able to believe in humanity any more.” “I am a victim of modern slavery.” These chilling words come from a Taiwanese female lured by a fake job offer, only to be sold into a scam compound in Cambodia. She is not alone. She is one of thousands deceived into this industry—people who left home hoping for a better life, only to find themselves trapped in a living nightmare. Scam: Inside Southeast Asia's Cybercrime Compounds (Verso Books, 2025) arrives at a critical moment, shedding light on one of the world's fastest-growing criminal economies: Southeast Asia's online scam industry. Running the gamut from the notorious “pig butchering” romance scams to elaborate online extortion and investment frauds, this system has transformed parts of the region into global hubs of cybercrime. Meticulously researched and grounded in years of fieldwork, Scam offers an unflinching look into the prison-like compounds that have mushroomed across multiple countries. Within these walled complexes, victims are often coerced into becoming perpetrators—trapped in what the authors describe as “compound capitalism,” a chilling hybrid of enslavement and exploitation. Scam traces how small-scale online gambling rings evolved into an international “scamdemic,” accelerated by the disruptions of COVID-19. It examines the “victim–offender trap”, a moral and psychological paradox that makes empathy difficult for outsiders. The result is a deeply human investigation into how modern slavery adapts to digital capitalism. The authors uncover the operations of scam compounds across Southeast Asia. In my interview with Ling and Ivan, what stood out was not only their depth of knowledge but their compassion. They used their skills to build trust with victims, gather evidence, and, in some cases, help orchestrate rescues. Their work is both rigorous and profoundly humane, illuminating a crisis that grows more complex each day. Though many of those involved—both perpetrators and victims—are ethnically Chinese, the networks now span continents. The scam compounds are a global phenomenon, built on economic desperation, weak governance, and digital interconnectivity. Scam is more than an exposé. It is a call to action and a vital first step toward understanding a new form of global exploitation—where modern technology and ancient cruelty combine to create a system that enslaves the vulnerable and profits from despair. Ling Li is pursuing a PhD at Ca' Foscari University of Venice with a focus on the role of technology in enabling modern slavery and human trafficking in East and Southeast Asia. In the past few years, she has been providing support to survivors of scam compounds in Southeast Asia, interacting with local and international civil society organisations to bring them relief and help with repatriation. Ivan Franceschini is a lecturer at the Asia Institute, University of Melbourne. His current research focuses on ethnic Chinese transnational crime, especially in the field of online fraud. He co-founded the Made in China Journal and The People's Map of Global China/ Global China Pulse. His books include Proletarian China (2022), Global China as Method (2022), and Afterlives of Chinese Communism (2019). He also co-directed the documentaries Dreamwork China (2011) and Boramey (2021). Mark Bo is a researcher who has been based in East and Southeast Asia for 2 decades. He has worked globally with local civil society partners to monitor and advocate for improved environmental and social practices in development projects and utilises his background in corporate and financial mapping to investigate stakeholders involved in Asia's online gambling, fraud, and money laundering industries.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by Future Proof Property Advisory co-founder Dawn Fouhy to help investors cut through the noise of the Melbourne market and gain clarity amid a crowded field of opinions. Together, they unpack how analysis paralysis can stall progress, particularly in fast-changing markets like Melbourne and regional Victoria, and why investors need to align with advisors and strategies that genuinely resonate. Fouhy explains what makes a property truly future-proof, urging investors to buy with future buyers in mind, avoid investor-saturated pockets, and target areas with scarcity and low building approvals. She shines a spotlight on Melbourne's renewed appeal, noting that while oversupply is a risk in some locations, suburbs such as Williams Landing, Point Cook, and Hoppers Crossing are underpinned by strong owner-occupier demand and constrained supply. The duo also explore Geelong's rise as Australia's top relocation hotspot, with Fouhy pointing to suburbs like Hamlyn Heights and Belmont as examples of locations where economic strength, lifestyle appeal, and solid fundamentals support long-term capital growth. Revisiting the capital growth versus cash flow debate, Tarrant and Fouhy emphasise that while cash flow is crucial for managing holding costs, it is capital growth that ultimately drives meaningful wealth creation. For those eyeing the Melbourne and Victorian markets in 2026 and beyond, Fouhy recommends starting with a realistic budget, then targeting townhouses or units in established, high-demand areas that offer both affordability and advantages.

We have just wrapped up the story of Dwight Bergeron who has served over 30 years of his three life sentences for what the authorities say was his crime of sexual assualt against his own children. I crime he and those children, now adults say he didn't commit. Today I sit down with one of Dwights kids to see what he remembers from all those years ago.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In the sweltering bayous of southern Louisiana, Dwight “Jerome” Bergeron grew up hard. As a boy, he trapped raccoons, muskrats, and nutria for pocket money, learning survival before he ever learned opportunity. He left school in the 11th grade, trained in plumbing at Vo-Tech, and once dreamed of repairing helicopters in the Army, a dream that died when his recruiter told him his certificate wasn't enough.Instead, Dwight built a life for himself and his children on the bayou. But in the early 1990s, everything changed. His kids were removed from his home and placed with adoptive parents. Soon after, accusations surfaced, claims that Dwight had harmed the very children he loved. There was no physical evidence. Medical exams were inconclusive. But the state had some powerful words from his own children, testimony that was enough to secure his conviction.Dwight was sentenced to life, while his partner Angela, under intense pressure from prosecutors, took a plea deal she said was forced upon her. Both went to prison.Now, decades later, the children, now adults, have spoken. In sworn statements and letters, they insist their father never harmed them, that they were manipulated as kids, and that their testimony was built on lies told to keep them from returning home.Dwight has spent his life behind bars maintaining his innocence, while his children fight to clear his name.Echoes from the Bayou is the story of a man condemned on the word of children, the family torn apart, and the haunting possibility that Louisiana's justice system got it wrong.One Minute Remaining LIVE in Melbourne get your tix now EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HERE Patreon and find us on Facebook here.

Ballooning became a huge fad starting in the late 18th century, and there was a surprising amount of rioting associated with it.
