This week we're turning our attention (with Tom off to Liverpool for the Labour party's first conference in power) to Sri Lanka. Raisa Wickrematunge, deputy editor of Himal Southasian magazine, joins Rohan and Emily to discuss this month's election and how Anura Kumara Dissanayake (aka AKD) has re-aligned Sir Lanka's political compass. What has happened to the United National Party and the Sri Lanka Freedom Party to allow this outsider to romp home? And what should global politics watchers make of his party, Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna, whose symbol is a hammer and sickle? For this, and more, hop on the Political Cycle as we take a trip to South Asia.You can now subscribe to the PREMIUM version of The Political Cycle on Hubwave: tricycle.hubwave.netHere are the Trike Recommendations from this episode:https://forward.com/opinion/655944/mark-robinson-dropping-out-north-carolina/https://scroll.in/article/1073452/modi-leads-adani-follows-is-indias-diplomacy-in-lockstep-with-a-private-firms-global-expansionhttps://www.himalmag.com/politics/president-election-2024-jvp-npp-unp-sjb-wickremesinghe-rajapaksa-dissanayakehttps://www.himalmag.com/politics/sri-lanka-ranil-wickremesinghe-mahinda-gotabaya-rajapaksa-politics-economy-crisis-2024-electionSubscribe below to our contributors' Substacks:ET Write Home by Emily Tamkin (via Emily's Substack you can also listen to the PREMIUM version of the show)India Inside Out by Rohan VenkatDividing Lines by Tom HamiltonThe Political Tricycle is a Podot podcast.It's presented by Emily Tamkin, Tom Hamilton and Rohan Venkat.Executive Producer: Nick Hilton.For sales and advertising, email nick@podotpods.comTo watch a video version of the show, go to COOLER.NEWS Hosted on Acast.

Investigators are now telling us it could take 24 moths to find answers surrounding one of the worst maritime crashes in American History.  This as we learn an elite Coast Guard team is inspecting 13 Centers for Disease Control containers that were on board labeled with the warning "Hazardous Materials."  This raises all kinds of questions.  Why is the CDC sending Haz-Mat containers to Sir Lanka?  That is where the Dali was headed when it left the Port of Baltimore before crashing into the Scott Key Francis Bridge. Investigative Reporter Lara Logan is also sounding the alarm.  Her sources insist the crash could have been part of a cyber attack designed to bring the economy to a halt.  Also the ships operator, Synergy Marine, as an in-depth Diversity, Equity and Inclusion program.  DEI is now at the forefront of the culture wars and may be responsible for the increasing transportation safety issues we are seeing across the country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Your Heard Tell for Monday, 23 May, 2022 is turning down the noise and getting the information we need on the damning, 300 page investigation report on the complicity of leadership in the Southern Baptist Convention in covering up, excusing, and enabling sexual abuse within churches and the denomination. We'll review the thoughts of former SBC leader Dr. Russel Moore plus our own thoughts from having been covering this story. Lithium mining is the core resource behind the push for greener technology and especially electric vehicles, but a proposal for the largest lithium mine east of the Mississippi has run into controversy in North Carolina, Alexander Kaufman has a in-depth piece at Huffpost that convers the nuances and entanglements when the buzzwords of green technology hit the very real issues of mining in a community that is skeptical of both the technology and the ecological damage to their area. Our guest Kat Dwyer joins to talk about some examples of how market innovation is brining some creative solutions to environmental problems, and how conservation can benefit from public-private partnerships. Also, Kat goes into detail about how many of the issues raised by newer environmental concerns at their core are really new takes on very old, fundamental issues in America like property rights, land usage, water rights, and government interest versus private holdings. Kat also discusses the ongoing water crisis out west, and also has some ideas about how we can better discuss and advocate for conservation issues in our own discussions and social media. Plus, we update the dire situation in Sri Lanka where that country has now officially defaulted on its debt as fuel and food reserves run out, and we finish the program highlighting the two young fans Manchester City decided to feature in their championship celebration, and their personal stories that are worth knowing about.

Situated on the western coast of the Red Sea in antiquity were a series of thriving seaports, bringing in trade from as far as way as Sir Lanka. Key mercantile centres, where goods made in Iberia could theoretically have been sold alongside items crafted thousands of miles to the east, in South East Asia. Of these seaports, one of the most remarkable has to be Berenike, a thriving cosmopolitan trading centre, first for the Hellenistic Ptolemaic Kingdom and later for Imperial Rome.To talk through the site's extraordinary archaeology we were delighted to be joined by Professor Steven Sidebotham from the University of Deleware.
