After Russia's first moon mission in 47 years ends with a catastrophic crash, pressure is mounting for India to become the first country to land a spacecraft on the lunar south pole. Meanwhile, Russia analyst Stephen Dalziel and Latika Bourke of ‘The Sydney Morning Herald' discuss Donald Trump's boycott of the US Republican Party debate. Plus: coverage of Anthony Albanese's son in the Australian media and the soft power of royal families, as Spain's Queen Letizia takes centre stage at the Women's World Cup final.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Spanish football team beat England 1-0 in a closely-fought final in Sydney to win the trophy for the first time. Queen Letizia and her daughter, Princess Sofia, joined the players on the pitch to mark their triumph. Also in the programme: voters in Ecuador are choosing a president today after a campaign marred by violence; and Russia's first lunar mission in 47 years crashes into the moon, so what could have gone wrong?

[This blog will always be free to read, but it's also how I pay my bills. So, if you like what you read, please consider a paid subscription. And yes, I do speaking engagements.]In a matter of hours, England's women's national football team—known affectionately as “The Lionesses”—will compete against Spain in the first World Cup Final that England has seen in nearly six decades. For those unaware, football (known to us Americans as “soccer”) is massively popular in England. In fact, it's where “association football” (as it's formally termed to differentiate from variants) was born and popularized. In fact, even “massively popular” feels like a bit of an understatement. Football is one of those things that is central to British identity, right up there with the Royal Family, the Beatles, subtle and self-deprecating comedy, colonialism, and unseasoned food. Unfortunately, since its victory against Germany in the 1966 World Cup Final, the English men's team has failed to recapture that glory. In the intervening six decades, the closest they've come were two semi-final flameouts. Something akin to a national crisis occurred when they failed to even qualify for the 1994 Men's World Cup.So, I want y'all to humor a hypothetical. Imagine if England's men's national football team had made it to the World Cup Final last year in Qatar. As Americans, the best comparison we have is probably the 1980 Winter Olympics, in which a young U.S. team upset the U.S.S.R. juggernaut on the way to the gold medal.I don't mean in terms of direct sport comparison but national fervor. Our U.S. Women's National Team has been enormously successful and deserves all the plaudits, but here, too, sexism is rampant. Our country didn't screech to a halt for the last World Cup Final we were in.So, take that comparison on steroids, and you'd have the likely response of England to its men's team being on the verge of greatness. The country would practically shut down for the event. British media would be in a frenzy of orgasmic patriotism. Maybe the Spice Girls would even finally announce a new world tour.And this is what's key: there is no doubt—not a single doubt—that King Charles III, Prince William, and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak would be attending the Men's World Cup Final in person. It is silly and childish to pretend otherwise. There is absolutely no way these three men miss that event.And yet, as of this writing—and it doesn't look as though things will change—neither King Charles nor Prince William nor Queen Camilla nor Princess Catherine nor any of the other British Royals nor Prime Minister Sunak will be attending the World Cup Final to cheer on The Lionesses.Literally all of the top British leadership are missing this historic event. But why? Is there a national crisis? Have they fallen ill? No. They're mostly “on vacation” and can't be bothered to attend. I'm not kidding.William & Kate and their young children are currently on holiday, though it's not especially clear why William can't get his happy ass on a plane ride to Sydney for a brief visit to celebrate this moment. Charles & Camilla didn't even bother to offer a reason, explaining through a press statement that they would be cheering on The Lionesses in front of a television at Buckingham Palace.PM Sunak has also failed to offer a reason, though it's almost understandable—almost but not quite—that a sitting prime minister may, in theory, have other factors to consider.Here's the kicker: Prince William has been the president of the Football Association—England's governing body for football—since 2006. He is the literal figurehead for English football, and though it may be mostly symbolic, that symbolism comes with a responsibility. As criticism of the Royals has ramped up, the Prince's press flacks have frantically and weakly attempted to float the absurd reasoning that William is missing the World Cup Final to reduce his carbon footprint. Yes, you read that right. Prince William is hiding behind climate change to avoid cheering on The Lionesses.Spain, on the other hand, didn't hesitate. Queen Letizia and her daughter Princess Sofia hopped on a plane and will be cheering on their women's team from a suite at Stadium Australia, along with 75,000 other spectators. It's quite embarrassing for the British Royals, and they should absolutely feel ashamed for the message this sends, not just to The Lionesses and their supporters but every woman and girl in the United Kingdom, who are being told, unequivocally, that women's sports are just not that important.William's advisors, sensing the growing public resentment could prove problematic, scrambled to have him film a 14 second video for the The Lionesses with Princess Charlotte, his 8 year-old daughter, sitting beside him. He said the following:“Lionesses, I want to send you a huge good luck for tomorrow, we're sorry we can't be there in person but we're so proud of everything you've achieved and the millions you've inspired here and around the world. So go out there tomorrow and really enjoy yourselves.”I do communications for a living, and sometimes, I have to explain to clients that the most important thing, bare minimum, is that your audience feels heard and you're making an effort. If nothing else, acknowledge the needs of your audience and that you care about those needs.Did anyone watch this video and really believe that William gives two s***s about The Lionesses? I don't. I think an exasperated advisor convinced him to sit down for a quick iPhone video and this is what we got. It's deeply underwhelming.I don't think I've ever seen a crisis comms response that is simultaneously aloof, cloying, weakly pandering, and vaguely annoyed. It's not only less than the bare minimum but so poorly attempted that it comes across as insulting. It feels as though William's teeth had to be pulled to make it.If you're gonna hinge your response on a video, why not make an effort? Talk about the importance of women's sports and what this World Cup Final must mean to girls across England. Talk about the growth of women's sports and why it makes England stronger.Get the entire family—William, Kate, George, Charlotte, and Louis—in the video, and have Kate talk about why their boys will be watching, too — why boys and young men have a responsibility to cheer on the girls and young women in their lives. I have to admit that even as an American, I feel angry over this. I feel angry for The Lionesses and women athletes in England generally and girls and women who know that if they bring up the clear disparity in support compared to male athletes, they'll be shouted down as “shrill feminists.”Enjoy your vacation, William.

Intro we have new ads: Minutes 0 to 4 You may notice that we have new ads which are bigger and take a little longer to load. I looked for months to find a good company to work with and have made sure that there are no ads with automatic sound. We’re also waiting for the next scandal or breakup this summer and find Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper’s split boring. Royals: Minutes 4 to 13:30 We had two big events this week, The Order of The Garter and Royal Ascot. We talk about Kate’s faux pas when she missed seeing Queen Letizia. We also talked about Kate’s twee style. The Royal Foundation is splitting in two different organizations for the Sussexes and The Cambridges. Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice were criticized for their fashion, with people comparing Eugenie’s dress with the boob darting to Anne Hathaway’s Prada Oscar gown. Beatrice’s dress looked like something Kate would wear. Taylor Swift: Minutes 13:30 to 20 Taylor Swift released the video for You Need to Calm Down, which threw so many gay celebrities together in one video. There was the appropriation argument and also the parallels between Taylor’s video and Beyonce’s 2011 Party video. Taylor and Katy Perry buried the hatchet but did anyone really care? Also, was Taylor sending a message to people with her hair in the video? If she is bi, do people care? Big Little Lies: Minutes 20 to 24 Spoilers up to season two episode two. Chandra wasn’t too impressed with the first episode of the second season of Big Little Lies but she thought the second episode was bonkers and full of plot twists. I agree to start watching it so we can talk about it. Downton Abbey Movie: Minutes 24 to 28 Spoilers to the end of Downton Abbey series. This week we got to see new character posters for Downton Abbey. Chandra loves these costume and historical dramas but I’m mediocre on them. I’m still looking forward to the movie. The part of the series that bored me enough to stop watching is the part that Chandra loves! Little Women first look: Minutes 28 to 30 We got our first look at Greta Gerwig’s version of Little Women, which Chandra is excited about. She hated the 90s Winona Ryder version and I really don’t care about it. User Feedback: Minutes 30 to 32:30 Thanks to Launica Angelina, Heather, Mooya, Orange Owl, BlueSky and Victoria for your nice feedback! Comments of The Week: 32:30 to 37 My COTW was by Perplexed on Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice’s fashion. Chandra’s COTW was by Jen on the confusion over Cersei’s pregnancy on GoT.

German police have made six arrests in relation to a planned knife attack at Sunday's Berlin Half Marathon. Newspaper Die Welt reported six men were detained - one of whom they suspected of planning the attack. Die Welt said the suspects were linked to Anis Amri, a failed Tunisian asylum seeker with Islamist ties, who hijacked a truck in December 2016. Amri killed the driver and then ploughed into a crowded marketplace killing 11 more people and injuring dozens of others. Police said before the sporting event today there had been "isolated evidence that the detainees between 18 and 21 years of age might have been involved in the preparation of a crime related to the event". Die Welt quoted a "senior police leader" as saying: "We are still evaluating. But it was probably close." Spain’s Royal Family has long been plagued by rumours of tension between Queen Letizia and her mother-in-law, Queen Sofia. Now, a video of the pair appearing to clash over a family photo following Easter Mass has ignited claims of a matriarchal feud at the heart of the House of Bourbon. The royals were making their way out of Palma Cathedral in Mallorca on Sunday when Queen Sofia attempted to pose for the cameras with her two grandchildren, Princess Leonor and the Infant Sofia. Queen Letizia was seen repeatedly walking in front of the trio in an apparent bid to block the shot before approaching Princess Leonor and seemingly trying to dislodge her mother-in-law’s hand from her daughter’s shoulder. Princess Leonor then appears to become frustrated with the tussling and thrusts both of their hands away.  As the Catalan crisis rolls on Barcelona has become one of the EU's best-loved city-break destinations, famed for its 1992 Summer Olympics, trade fairs, football and tourism. Catalonia is one of Spain's wealthiest regions, making up 16% of the national population and accounting for almost 19% of Spanish GDP. Generations of people from poorer parts of Spain have moved there for work, forming strong family bonds with regions such as Andalusia. During this crisis, the Catalan economy has suffered. Thousands of businesses, including major banks and energy firms, have moved their headquarters out of the region. However, the EU has treated the crisis as an internal matter for Spain, deaf to the separatists' pleas for support. There have been warnings that the issue is damaging Spain's democratic credentials. The Economist Intelligence Unit, which compiles an influential annual democracy ranking, said Spain risked being downgraded from a "full democracy" to a "flawed" one over its handling of the situation. The UK Home Secretary has insisted that police have enough resources to tackle crime despite claims that government cuts are contributing to a spate of violence.  Emergency plans to extend stop and search are in a tough package of measures the Home Secretary Amber Rudd is announcing following a string of fatal stabbings and shootings in London in recent weeks.  Meanwhile a former police officer said that younger officers were 'afraid' to use stop and search, as figures showed its use has fallen.  ..... New ‘Offensive Weapons’ laws to be introduced within weeks will make it illegal to own so-called ‘zombie killer’ knives and knuckle dusters used by gangs – and allow police to raid homes to seize them.  The latest move reflects a change of direction for Mrs May, who has introduced a series of curbs on stop and search since 2010, claiming they are unfair to young black men, damaging to community relations and do not cut crime. Nearly two-thirds of ‘child’ refugees who were questioned about their real age after coming to Britain were found to be adults, an official report has found. In one year, 65 per cent of asylum seekers assessed after claiming to be juveniles were judged to be over 18. The report, by immigration watchdog David Bolt, revealed that the Home Office received 2,952 asylum applications from unaccompanied children in the year to June last year. Out of these there were 705 age disputes – around a quarter of the total – where officials suspected the individual was lying about their age. Of these, 618 cases were resolved and 402 – or 65 per cent – were found to be adults. If these asylum seekers had been treated as children it would have left councils and local taxpayers facing a care bill of millions of pounds a year. In the UK Donors and entrepreneurs have been secretly developing plans for a new political party frustrated with polarisation and grabbing for the centre ground. Up to £50million has been pumped into the project with a former Labour benefactor at the helm hoping to 'break the Westminster mould'. The movement believes in borrowing from the left and right for its policies and was set up by multi-millionaire LoveFilm founder Simon Franks, who says he is frustrated with political division in light of the Brexit vote. He has had full-time staff on the project for about year, The Observer revealed today, after starting initial discussion in 2016.  His company - Project One Movement for the UK - is said to be a probable vehicle for the scheme, which has the support of a number of former Tory donors.   A pensioner cleared of blame after killing an armed burglar may never be able to return home amid fears of a vendetta against him, police have told residents. Richard Osborn-Brooks, 78, and his disabled wife Maureen have not been seen at their £500,000 property since Henry Vincent died after a break-in last week. With the couple believed to be staying at an undisclosed location in fear of their lives, their house has been fitted with security grilles – and a police surveillance camera has been mounted on a nearby lamppost. According to residents, Vincent was part of a tight-knit community whose members have a reputation for violence. One of the extended Vincent clan shamelessly declared on social media a few years ago: ‘An OAP a day keeps ur bank balance at bay. The old b******s deserve everything they get.’ Maureen Lipman joined hundreds of furious protesters outside Labour HQ, saying said she could never return to the party with an 'anti-Semite at its head'. The Jewish actress said she was attending 'as a disenfranchised socialist' and agreed with a placard reading 'Corbyn made me a Tory'. Some 250 demonstrators gathered in Westminster today to criticise the Labour leader's approach to tackling anti-Semitism in the party.  Lipman joined their pleas for change at the protest, saying Mr Corbyn's conduct was 'appalling' and calling for him to resign. The 71-year-old, best known for her roles in Educating Rita, The Pianist and Oklahoma!, made a speech which was met with swathes of applause. 'He is standing with elements who are against everything that we stand for; hardworking, decent Jewish people of whom I am incredibly proud,' she said.  'By doing nothing he is telling us the same thing he has been telling us for the last 30 years.   'He wants a Marxist party. Because it's worked so well in the rest of the world!' She added: ‘Everything you have heard today points to the fact that we have an anti-Semite at the head of the British Labour Party.’ Lipman also attacked the Labour leader for attending a Seder organised by left-wing Jewish group Jewdas, saying it was 'the absolute cherry on the top' of his behaviour. These days sport is all about money. Gone are the glorious days of true sportsmen and women who competed against each other out of pure pride and sporting rivalry.  During the amateur days of yore, apart from a couple of countries who used events as propaganda exercises, I can’t recall any accusations of cheating by the competitors or officials. Nowadays they are all at it. Doping, drugging, betting and game throwing are now regular features on the back pages of the nationals. Hardly any corner of the sporting world has not been infected by this greedy virus that leads to the ‘win at any cost’ attitude that prevails among the athletes of today.  And you know what really sticks in my craw. Sooner or later they all seem to wheedle their way back in.  Even those who commit, what are to my mind unforgivable offences, are, after the authorities have considered their wrists have been slapped hard enough, allowed back in to carry on as though nothing has happened! 

German police have made six arrests in relation to a planned knife attack at Sunday's Berlin Half Marathon. Newspaper Die Welt reported six men were detained - one of whom they suspected of planning the attack. Die Welt said the suspects were linked to Anis Amri, a failed Tunisian asylum seeker with Islamist ties, who hijacked a truck in December 2016. Amri killed the driver and then ploughed into a crowded marketplace killing 11 more people and injuring dozens of others. Police said before the sporting event today there had been "isolated evidence that the detainees between 18 and 21 years of age might have been involved in the preparation of a crime related to the event". Die Welt quoted a "senior police leader" as saying: "We are still evaluating. But it was probably close." Spain’s Royal Family has long been plagued by rumours of tension between Queen Letizia and her mother-in-law, Queen Sofia. Now, a video of the pair appearing to clash over a family photo following Easter Mass has ignited claims of a matriarchal feud at the heart of the House of Bourbon. The royals were making their way out of Palma Cathedral in Mallorca on Sunday when Queen Sofia attempted to pose for the cameras with her two grandchildren, Princess Leonor and the Infant Sofia. Queen Letizia was seen repeatedly walking in front of the trio in an apparent bid to block the shot before approaching Princess Leonor and seemingly trying to dislodge her mother-in-law’s hand from her daughter’s shoulder. Princess Leonor then appears to become frustrated with the tussling and thrusts both of their hands away.  As the Catalan crisis rolls on Barcelona has become one of the EU's best-loved city-break destinations, famed for its 1992 Summer Olympics, trade fairs, football and tourism. Catalonia is one of Spain's wealthiest regions, making up 16% of the national population and accounting for almost 19% of Spanish GDP. Generations of people from poorer parts of Spain have moved there for work, forming strong family bonds with regions such as Andalusia. During this crisis, the Catalan economy has suffered. Thousands of businesses, including major banks and energy firms, have moved their headquarters out of the region. However, the EU has treated the crisis as an internal matter for Spain, deaf to the separatists' pleas for support. There have been warnings that the issue is damaging Spain's democratic credentials.
