With the 2026 T20 World Cup being co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka we look back at the first ICC World T20 to be held in Asia 14 years ago.The 2012 tournament took place In Sri Lanka with their team defeated in a extraordinary final by the West Indies who claimed their first title which was celebrated in iconic style.We look back at the event with Steven Finn who was the leading wicket taker for an England side who went into the competition as defending champions and TMS commentators Henry Moeran and Prakash Wakankar.
In this February 20 episode of MAHA News, Jordan Sather and Nate Prince break down the controversy surrounding the new executive order addressing glyphosate and elemental phosphorus under the Defense Production Act. They examine claims about immunity for Bayer, clarify what the order actually does, and discuss why glyphosate has become so embedded in the U.S. food system that an immediate ban could devastate farmers and spike food prices. The hosts reference Sri Lanka's failed nationwide organic experiment, RFK Jr.'s comments calling America's food system “chemical warfare,” and the broader tension between reform and food security. They also expose the flaws in the GRAS system, which allows food companies to self-certify ingredients as safe, and highlight alarming obesity and malnutrition trends in the U.S. Finally, they address the rapidly aging farmer population, rising farm bankruptcies, and structural issues making agriculture less viable for the next generation.
Henry Moeran is joined by former England bowler Steven Finn and BBC journalist Matt Henry to find out what really happens behind the scenes at an ICC World Cup. Finn is the only England bowler to take a hat-trick at a men's 50 Over World Cup and was also England's leading wicket taker at the ICC World T20 in Sri Lanka in 2012. Finn shares stories of life as a player when you may be sharing a breakfast buffet with the opposition before taking them on in a crucial encounter whilst Matt Henry explains what it's like to cover a World Cup as a journalist.

Legendary Australia opener Matthew Hayden joins Daniel Norcross and Aatif Nawaz at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium just days after the Aussies' defeat to Sri Lanka to give his damning indictment on the team's elimination from the T20 World Cup.
In this episode of The Grade Cricketer, we pick through the wreckage of the most chaotic week in international cricket as Australia crash and burn in the T20 World Cup group stage. While the Baggy Greens pack their bags after a defeat to Sri Lanka and the awesome Nissanka, the focus shifts to the subcontinental powerhouses making noise in the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. We dissect India's clinical run to the Super 8s, headlined by a bowling unit that looks absolutely unplayable on these Sri Lankan and Indian decks. Can anyone actually stop the Men in Blue on home soil, or is the pressure of the Narendra Modi Stadium final already looming too large? But the real story of the fans belongs to Nepal. We recap the ‘Rhinos' and their incredible atmospheric presence, breaking down their key moments and the passion of a fanbase that has truly taken over the tournament. From Kathmandu to Colombo, the Nepal cricket rise is no longer a fairy tale—it's a warning to the elite. Want to create live streams like this?

When Visaka Dharmadasa’s soldier son was kidnapped by the fearsome Tamil Tigers in the midst of Sri Lanka’s bitter civil war, she couldn’t find anyone who could help find him - or the 608 other soldiers who had been taken the same night. So Visaka transformed herself, first into a fighter against the bureaucracy of the Sri Lankan government and the Red Cross, and then into a fearsome peace activist. Defying warnings, she crosses into Tamil Tiger territory and sits down with some of the terrorist group’s most notorious leaders, appealing to their humanity as a mother. And eventually, they listen.

When the history of this moment is written, Minneapolis may take its place alongside Selma, Stonewall, and Harper's Ferry—a name synonymous with resistance. In this episode, Matthew Taylor and Susie Hayward return to American Unexceptionalism to reflect on what has unfolded in the Twin Cities over the past two months: mass ICE deployments, escalating authoritarian tactics, and a powerful, community-rooted response. Drawing from the streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul, they explore what frontline resistance looks like in real time, how religious leaders have stepped into both pastoral and prophetic roles, and why this moment feels like the full activation of both Trump-era authoritarian impulses and an American resistance movement finding its footing. This conversation serves as a postlude—and a reckoning—with the themes of American Unexceptionalism. Lessons once drawn from Sri Lanka, South Korea, Brazil, and beyond are now being lived out at home, faster and more intensely than expected. Taylor and Hayward unpack why Minneapolis became the flashpoint, how multifaith and multigenerational organizing has changed the terrain, and what these experiences can teach communities across the country preparing for what may come next. The message is urgent and clear: what's happening in Minneapolis is coming for the rest of America—and the time to learn, organize, and build the relationships needed to defend democracy is now. Dr. Matthew D. Taylor is a visiting scholar at the center on Faith and Justice at Georgetown University. His book, The Violent Take It by Force: The Christian Movement that is Threatening Our Democracy (Broadleaf, 2024), tracks how a loose network of charismatic Christian leaders called the New Apostolic Reformation was a major instigating force for the January 6th Insurrection and is currently reshaping the culture of the religious right in the U.S. Taylor is also the creator of the audio docuseries Charismatic Revival Fury: The New Apostolic Reformation. Rev. Susan Hayward: was until recently the lead on the US Institute of Peace's efforts to understand religious dimensions of conflict and advance efforts engaging religious actors and organizations in peacebuilding. She has conducted political asylum and refugee work with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and Advocates for Human Rights. Rev. Hayward studied Buddhism in Nepal and is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ. www.axismundi.us Executive Producer: Dr. Bradley Onishi Producer: Andrew Gill Original Music and Mixing: Scott Okamoto Production Assistance: Kari Onishi Learn more about your ad choices.

Tune in for our conversation with Dr. Stephen Cabral where he breaks down why even health-conscious biohackers can struggle with chronic symptoms, pointing to hidden imbalances that standard approaches often miss. He emphasizes starting with gut and immune health and explains why comprehensive lab testing, especially Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), offers insights that blood work alone can't capture. The conversation explores how stress, electrolyte imbalances, and heavy metal exposure quietly drain resilience, making proper detoxification and mineral balance essential. Dr. Cabral also shares practical guidance on magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, and adrenal support, tailoring advice for high performers under constant pressure. We also dive into our personal HTMA results so you can get a front row seat on what a typical HTMA consultation looks like. Throughout the episode, he underscores that optimal health isn't just about supplements and protocols, but also mindset—building “stress calluses” and taking a truly holistic, systems-based approach.Dr. Stephen Cabral is a Board-Certified Doctor of Naturopathy and founder of EquiLife, the global integrative health organization providing at-home lab testing, personalized wellness protocols, and concierge health coaching to over 300,000 clients over the past 25 years.He also founded the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute (IHPI), which has certified over 5,000 practitioners globally, and hosts The Cabral Concept podcast with 3,500+ episodes and 100 million+ downloads.After overcoming a life-threatening illness at 17, Dr. Cabral went on to get his doctoral degree and completed over 2,200 internship hours all over the world including India, Sri Lanka, China, Europe, and the U.S.SHOW NOTES:0:42 Welcome to the podcast!3:13 About Dr. Stephen Cabral4:12 Welcome him to the show!4:48 Why do healthy people get sick?7:48 Addressing gut & immune system first10:36 Starting with HTMA Testing12:21 Electrolytes in hair vs blood work15:12 Validity of HTMA16:05 Overview of our results interpretation18:09 Lauren's HTMA results22:38 Supporting the HPA axis with electrolytes24:33 Magnesium recommendations25:29 Iron, Copper & Zinc31:51 Advice for high performers & high achievers33:44 *CALOCURB*34:56 Lauren's heavy metals41:17 Renee's HTMA results44:32 Creating stress “calluses”50:21 Renee's heavy metals52:50 Finding a Biological Dentist54:47 Where else metals are stored56:42 Adrenal support ingredients57:25 Zinc & Copper balancing1:03:45 Minerals & Metals Test1:05:32 His final piece of advice1:06:50 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Calocurb - discount code: RENEE10Website: www.drstephencabral.comIG: @stephencabralYouTube50% off the Minerals & Metals TestBook: PersonomicsCoaching: sign up for the Personomics waitlist at:Personomics.ioThe Julian Center for Comprehensive DentistryTo find a Biological Dentist: iaomt.orgSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Mennners reviews Australia's loss to Sri Lanka We've launched our official Cricket Unfiltered merch store thanks to a brilliant partnership with Exactamundo, a longtime supporter of the show.

34 Australians released from a detention centre in Syria are returned to the camp, an historic case against Coles and its pricing policy enters its second day, Australia could be out of the T-20 World Cup after a stunning loss to co-hosts Sri Lanka.
In this episode we tried something different. Baldy joined Binksy and Raj on the pod, with Raj and Binksy having watched the overnight games and having prepared. Baldy joined with live reactions not knowing the scores to get real-time, unfiltered feedback on the games overnight, especially Australia's must-win fixture with hosts Sri Lanka. The cricket wasn't pretty - neither were the reactions. If Australia's campaign was on a knife-edge before it has completely unravelled now. From batting collapses to bowling that was yet again unable to make inroads, the crew dissects where it all went wrong for Australia. Where were Steve Smith and Matt Renshaw again? The selection conundrums continue to perplex - but was the batting or bowling more to blame? One thing is for certain - the post WC retrospective will be one to tune into. To the England-Italy fixture we go and the Azzurri put up yet another inspired performance against England. While some big(ger) names haven't quite got going for England yet Binksy is heartened by Will Jacks with the bat, and Overton, Archer, and Curran with the ball. Have England found a winning combination with the ball? Finally, we cover the clutch victory for Afghanistan over the UAE. Omarzai's performance has us fulsome with praise. Rashid brings up 700 T20I wickets as we rue missed opportunities in what could have been a stellar campaign for Afghanistan. Let us know if you enjoyed the 'live reactions'. We did.

What does it really take to build an ethical supply chain from the ground up? In this show, we learn from one of the very best. Note: Shows are never sponsored, ie companies paying us to appear on the show. An ad is an ad, and the show is the show. I'm publishing this because we all need to believe there are companies out there with mounting proof of concept that you can design for a better world through business. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Gero Leson, an accomplished physicist and environmental scientist who has worked for some of the biggest companies in the world and then met David Bronner, CEO of Dr Bronner's. David implored him to join Dr Bronner's in the early 2000's, on a mission to build an ethical supply chain of the highest standards. We explore how one of the world's most values-led companies approaches transparency, cross-cultural leadership and business ethics in practice - not just in marketing.Gero shares how Dr Bronner's moved beyond buying ingredients on the open market, moved beyond labels and just ‘trusting it was fine because it sounds good'. They've built companies that farm and produce the raw materials that they use for their famous soaps and other products, as well as selling the raw materials to other brands seeking a fully transparent and ethical, regenerative supply chain. They've done this in Sri Lanka, Ghana, India and beyond. From creating fair-trade supply chains where none had existed to the standard they wanted to uphold, to investing in regenerative agroforestry, community education and healthcare. This is business as a vehicle for agency and dignity.We discuss:Why radical transparency is becoming the antidote to consumer distrustHow ethical sourcing is not about fixing one issue, but committing to long-term engagementThe power of leadership teams over heroic individual leadersWhy dignity and agency motivate teams more than rules and controlThe balance between efficiency and humanity in global businessThis conversation is not idealistic. It is grounded, complex and honest about the challenges. But it is also deeply hopeful. Gero says, “We joke about saving the world with soap but in a way, it's true”. If you have ever wondered whether business can truly be a force for good, this episode offers real-world proof that it can - when values are embedded at every level.Enjoy the show, Alexx Stuart, your host.

It's 9 days into the tournament and two big guns flexed their might overnight with commands performances. Starting with India, Ishan Kishan was batting on a different surface as his 77 proved decisive in the match against Pakistan. Pakistan played all six spinners and held India through the middle overs, but key moments didn't go their way. A near hattrick for Saim Ayub, and an LBW shout could have been the turning points. As it was India's bowlers also proved too strong for the Pakistan top order. Binksy and Baldy round out this segment with praise for an unlikely Indian pace spearhead. To the other big powerhouse in group play - yes, the West Indies as they roll over Nepal in a comprehensive 9-wicket victory. The WI seamers dominated the early going - while Holder got the wickets it was Forde that was the superstar in our eyes as the WI shut down Nepal and paved the way for a comfortable chase. Finally, the USA gets some love as their campaign builds in what is shaping up as a run that has us excited for the future of cricket in that country. Going forward it's a huge night for Australia - their encounter with Sri Lanka is must-win, and we cover what needs to go right for the Aussies. Steve Smith has arrived - but is it too late? The Ireland and Zimbabwe game 24 hours later will be a decisive fixture in Group B. We'll be back in your feed again tomorrow with the next instalment of our T20 World Cup coverage.

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. It’s been a few weeks since I recorded a live episode, and here I am. Now, I don’t have any particular Gnostic insights for you today. However, I do have some interesting news to share and a very strange experience I had a couple of days ago. So, let’s start with the news. One of the reasons I don’t have a new episode for you this week, in particular a philosophical episode, is because I’ve been working on a stage play called A Midwife’s Trial. I wrote this play about 15 years ago, and I pulled it out of the drawer a couple weeks ago and decided to polish it and get it on its feet. I went with a friend to a little theater a few weeks ago, and they were putting on 12 Angry Men. Now, if you’ve never seen the movie 12 Angry Men, the original, there’s a newer movie, really bad, but the old classic movie starring Henry Fonda and 11 other very well-known actors of the black and white movie era—it’s a great movie. You should see it. It’s the story of the jurors in a deliberation room. They’ve just watched a trial, and they’re in the deliberation room. The entire movie or play takes place around the deliberation table, and they are the 12 Angry Men, the jury. My play is also a trial story, but it’s the trial side of it, so it makes like a nice bookend to 12 Angry Men. So, that’s why it reminded me to get my play back out and try it again. I had sent it around to play festivals and whatnot about 15 years ago. It made one final round, but didn’t win any prizes, so I put it away. It’s based upon my doctoral dissertation, The Trial of a California Midwife, and it is an enactment of actual trial testimony from a couple of midwives, an obstetrician, and then the two attorneys, one for the prosecution and one for the defense, and of course the judge. Those are all the characters. And then it cuts back and forth to a reenactment of this difficult birth that is the subject of the trial. So, it’s a very interesting play. I think it’s fascinating personally, and I’m hoping that audiences will too. I went ahead and contacted the creative director of the theater where I watched 12 Angry Men, and he says, yeah, sounds good. We’ll get you on the schedule for August. So, now it looks like I’m going to have a stage play staged in the town of Phoenix, Oregon. It’s between Ashland and Medford in southern Oregon. I’m going to produce and direct the play myself, which means that for the first time in my theater experience, I will have the power of casting, which is very exciting as well. Anyway, so that’s a little piece of exciting news for me, but it’s been taking up my mind and it’s been taking up my writing time. So, that’s my excuse for not having any new Gnostic Insights episodes for you. And if you live in the southern Oregon area or northern California, I do hope you will come and see the play. I’m also in the process of having the Children of the Fullness: A Gnostic Myth children’s book turned into an animated video. That’s very exciting. I got together with a fellow on LinkedIn, and he’s done a great job of animating these still pictures that are in the children’s book. So, we’re in the final polishing stage of that also. That should be available before too long on YouTube or wherever I can figure out it should go. Logos Falls What I mainly want to tell you about today is a very strange experience I had this week, day before yesterday. In November, my insurance coverage changed, and my primary care provider was not going to be covered by the insurance company that I had been with. So, I had to look for a new primary care provider, and it just so happens I don’t live very far from the VA hospital in White City, Oregon. It used to be an Army base in World War II, and then they changed it into a Veterans Administration hospital. And, by the way, part of the reason I linked into them, is because I actually live in one of the barracks from White City. My historic home is two parts. Half of the house is an 1875 farmhouse. That’s a two-story farmhouse, and I rent out that part of the house as an Airbnb rental, and it can accommodate parties of six pretty easily. The other side of my house is a set of Army barracks that were stuck onto the farmhouse around 1949, after the war was over, and White City was disassembling itself as an Army base, and people bought the old barracks as scrap lumber. So, the man that lived in my house in the 1940s bought two Army barracks and stuck them on the side of this farmhouse, and I live in one of those Army barracks. The other barracks is the garage. I like living in the barracks. It’s a very nice space, very cabin-y feeling, built in the 1930s, all local wood. So, I signed up with the VA to be my primary care physicians, and I have to tell you, very nice people. I’ve been to a chiropractor, an acupuncturist, and a primary care person there at the VA over the last couple of months. All three of them from other countries. That’s kind of funny to me. From Bulgaria, from Sri Lanka, and I didn’t even ask where the acupuncturist is from, but he sounds Eastern European. Very nice people and very competent care providers. Well, anyway, back to the weird part of the story. Day before yesterday, I went out to White City, my first appointment with their chiropractor. The VA hospital complex there, is made up of old two-story brick buildings. I think they probably replaced what must have been earlier wooden buildings when World War II was going on, and so these are really boring-looking boxes of brick buildings, two-story boxes, and they’re all right near each other and connected by corridors or breezeways. My appointment was in the upper floor of building 209, but you enter through the lower floor of 201, and there are like eight buildings you’ve got to get through to get to 209, and they’re all connected. That’s the way you get to building 209. The parking lot’s in front of building 201. So, I had brought a book with me, a library book, a very good library book that I’m enjoying reading that my brother Bill had recommended. He’s loving it. It’s called Culpability, and it’s about a car crash and who was at fault. Very well written and philosophical at the same time, and it includes AI and all kinds of stuff, self-driving automobiles and whatnot. So, I wanted to bring the book with me to read in the waiting room. Not that I’ve ever had to wait, because here’s the peculiar thing about this VA facility that I’ve been going to—I seem to be the only patient. It’s like I’m in one of those Reddit spaces called Mall World or Liminal Spaces, if any of you have ever been into any of those types of Reddit discussion groups, because there’s hardly any patients. Then the only people I see as I’m walking, and it takes, honestly, it takes about 20 minutes or a half hour to get from where I walk in to get back there to the chiropractor’s office. Maybe I saw three patients in all of that time. Corridor after corridor after corridor with empty waiting rooms, and the only people you see is glancing into office rooms, on the right and left, where people are working at their computers on whatever the heck they’re working on, because I never see patients there. It’s very strange. So, that in itself is very much like this place called Liminal Space or Mall World on Reddit. Anyway, I had brought my dog. He was waiting for me in the car. He’s a small dog, and so he has basically a high chair set up in the passenger seat, and he sits there to be able to see out the window as we drive along. Well, I know he likes to get in the driver’s seat and lay down when I’m doing errands and out of the car, so I set my book down on the roof of the car and straightened out a towel on the driver’s seat, and then I went into the building. Now, I lost the book somewhere. It’s a library book. I lost a library book. I don’t know if I left it on the roof of the car or if somewhere between 201 and 209. I did use a ladies room, and it had a couple of stalls in there, and it had a window with windowsill. I didn’t want to leave my purse out there on the windowsill, but I didn’t mind leaving the library book on the windowsill, so I took the purse into the stall with me, and then I came out. And by the time I got to the chiropractor’s office—of course, I was the only patient there—I didn’t have the book anymore. At first I thought I’d left it on the roof of the car when I was straightening the towel for the dog, so I said to the corpsman who was helping the chiropractor, oh darn, I left my book on the roof of the car. I hope nobody steals it. When the appointment was over and I made my long way back to the car, there was no book on the roof of the car, so either someone had stolen it, I figured, or I had left it in the bathroom on the windowsill instead. I wasn’t sure whether I left it on… I know I set it on the roof of the car, but perhaps I picked it up and took it into the bathroom. So I went back into the building and attempted to retrace my steps between 201 and 209 to look for, first, the stairwell I had taken—and that’s another thing that figures in these liminal spaces stories–stairwells. The stairwell I had taken from the first floor to the second floor in one of those buildings, I don’t know which one, had yellow daisies. It was a yellow flower motif painted on the stairwell walls. All of the stairwells have different motifs. So I was looking for the yellow stairwell that I took to the second floor and I couldn’t find it. So I went back and forth all this time looking for that yellow stairwell, couldn’t find it, and I’m passing through these empty hallways, and when I say there were very few patients, the weird thing about White City VA, of course, is that it seems that most of the patients that I’ve seen there are Vietnam or Korean veterans because they’re very elderly and usually in wheelchairs or walkers. I myself am not a spring chicken, but I can walk pretty good. Well, anyway, so that’s the other weird thing about it. The only people you see are elderly. So I’m looking for the yellow stairwell. I can’t find it, and I opened all those doors. I could not find the right ladies room, either, and I, of course, didn’t see the book. So I spent probably an hour and a half combing the hallways of 201-209 looking for a stairwell I couldn’t find and looking for a restroom I couldn’t find and looking for this book that I lost. But here’s the weird thing about the whole experience—I mean, I spent all this time—it was just like a dream. I do have a repetitive dream where I’m searching for something that I can’t find. So I thought to myself, oh my god, this is just like my dream, only it was for real. And it’s true. I couldn’t find it. Here’s how I would characterize it: I lost an object day before yesterday in a very confusing place in a room that I could not locate accessed by a stairwell that apparently doesn’t exist. So that was one weird experience. I wanted to share that with you for some reason. I figured, oh no, this is really going to trigger my dream, but I haven’t had that dream in the last two days. I just had the actual experience. If this prompts anything in you, please share it with us. I’d love to hear back from you. God bless us all, and onward and upward.
Despite the disappointing result Australia's top batter in the T20 World Cup loss to Zimbabwe Matt Renshaw found time to talk to Quentin Hull on Summer Grandstand. He talked about embracing that chaos around a whirlwind few months for him, how Australia rebuilds before a crucial match against Sri Lanka and the imminent arrival of Steve Smith.He also explained that full-time captain Mitch Marsh is still a leader around the team despite being unable to play with an injury that is clearly a sore point.

The Murali End review all the action from Sri Lanka's 2nd World Cup fixture against Oman. Sri Lanka, co-hosts of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 in Sri Lanka and India, put up a massive 225-5 batting first against Oman at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in their Group B match. Their innings featured big contributions, including a blistering half-century from captain Dasun Shanaka. Oman's chase struggled, with their batting lineup collapsing under pressure from disciplined Sri Lankan bowling. Sri Lanka dominated almost every phase of this game to take firm control of the fixture.Mark Machado is joined by Anton Roux, Estelle Vasudevan and Kavinka Fernando.Leave your thoughts below!Join the Murali End Whatsapp Channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Val7H91JJhzfMEctCp1P
Israeli President Isaac Herzog ends his Australian trip with a visit to Melbourne; the Liberal Party leadership to be determined in a ballot; and in cricket, Australia's T20 team makes a winning start to the World Cup in Sri Lanka against Ireland.
In this episode of the show, Baldy and Stu look back at Day 6 of the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup, which featured three games: Sri Lanka v Oman, Nepal v Italy and India v Namibia. We start the show by discussing India's cruise to victory against Namibia, which saw the return of Jasprit Bumrah and another masterclass from Varun Chakravarthy. There were runs from Ishan Kishan at the top, and a bit of a stutter at the death, mixed in with some nice bowling from Gerhard Erasmus and Bernard Scholtz, as India got the job done before their big clash with Pakistan over the weekend. In the second match of the day, it was the Azzurri of Italy who shone bright, powering to a 10-wicket win against a Nepal side fresh off pushing England so close in their opening game of the tournament. Kalugamage's three wickets led the Italian spinners, before the Mosca brothers made short work of Nepal's 124-run target. Sri Lanka began the day with a comprehensive victory over Oman, who have found it hard work in this tournament so far. Fast fifties for Pavan Rathnayake, Kusal Mendis & a record-breaking half-century for Dasun Shanaka took the home side to 225, which they defended with ease. To round out the show, the boys look ahead to Day 7, which sees Zimbabwe face Australia in Group B, Canada v UAE and a key game for the Netherlands against the USA to keep the pressure on India and Pakistan in Group A.

In this episode of the show, Baldy and Raj look back at Day 5 of the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup, which featured three games: South Africa v Afghanistan, Australia v Ireland and West Indies v England. We start the show by discussing the Super Over mayhem as South Africa survived about a million scares to prevail against Afghanistan in surely one of the best T20 internationals ever. Ramanullah Gurbaz, Lungi Ngidi, Tristan Stubbs, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada and so many more talking points from this wild and emotional game with huge implications for progression to the Super 8 stage. The final game of the day saw the West Indies defeat England thanks to an impressive half-century from Sherfane Rutherford and a collection of wickets from the Windies spin attack, with Gudakesh Motie leading the way. To cap off the last game on the slate we move to Group B, where Australia kicked off their World Cup campaign in style against Ireland, thanks to 4-wicket hauls from Nathan Ellis and Adam Zampa. There's talk of Australia's bowling lineup without the familiarity of Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood, a nasty injury to Mitchell Marsh and how the batting line up looked without him in it. To round out the show, the boys look ahead to Day 6, which sees two home teams in action in Sri Lanka and India as they face Oman and Namibia respectively, while Italy take on Nepal in between those two fixtures.

Over the past few years, South Asia has witnessed a striking wave of mass protests toppling governments and upending long-standing political arrangements in countries ranging from Bangladesh to Nepal and Sri Lanka. These upheavals are often explained in terms of domestic factors—such as corruption, economic mismanagement, and democratic backsliding. But in a recent Foreign Affairs essay titled “The Folly of India's Illiberal Hegemony,” the scholar Muhib Rahman argues that there is a larger regional story at play—one that implicates not just local leaders, but also India and the United States. The essay challenges the assumption that India's regional leadership has been a stabilizing force and asks whether New Delhi's choices have instead helped create openings for China across South Asia.To talk more about the essay, Muhib joins Milan on the show this week. Muhib is a Perry World House Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. His research sits at the intersection of international security, emerging technologies, and the politics of the Global South. He has served as a Postdoctoral Associate at Cornell University and holds a Ph.D. in Government from the University of Texas-Austin.Muhib and Milan discuss India's illiberal hegemony in its neighborhood, the downturn in Bangladesh-India ties, and the enabling role of the United States. Plus, the two discuss the drivers of the “India Out” phenomenon in countries ranging from Nepal to the Maldives and how China is positioning itself to take advantage.Episode notes:1.

From humble beginnings in his native Sri Lanka, to a more than 40 year academic career at Queen's University Belfast, Prof. AP (Amilra Prasanna) De Silva's research into molecular photosensors has led to a pioneering career in that's evolved from chemistry to medical diagnostics on one hand, to information processing on the other. Prof. De Silva challenged cultural expectations and overcame the lack of opportunities in chemistry that were available in Sri Lanka in the early 1970s. He first moved to Belfast to pursue research in photochemistry at Queen's University. Inspired by his grandmother's struggle with high blood pressure he engineered a unique sodium photosensor by marrying fluorescent molecules with chemical receptors. As a result of his international collaborations, a commercial, portable sensor was developed to detect salts and minerals in the blood. Its speed of analysis has since saved countless lives and improved healthcare around the world. AP talks to Jim Al-Khalili about his passion for engineering molecules and how his photochemical innovations have since crossed into computer science. They've been developed to perform molecular computations far inside the human body - where silicon microchips fear to tread. A new deeper understanding of life inside our tissues and cells beckons.

Manon Chapelain, à Damas, nous fait vivre la toute récente guerre qui a opposé, fin janvier 2026, la nouvelle armée syrienne aux forces qui contrôlaient un tiers du territoire au nom d'une autonomie kurde. Manon a suivi la ligne de front aux côtés des soldats de Damas qui ont bénéficié du soutien de la coalition internationale... En 2è partie, Côme Bastin nous fait entendre la jeunesse du Sri Lanka, 4 ans après sa Révolution qui a vu une gauche radicale balayer les pouvoirs en place à Colombo. Syrie : l'assaut de l'armée qui mit fin au rêve d'autonomie kurde En Syrie, les autorités gouvernementales ont pris d'assaut, fin janvier 2026, les territoires administrés par les Forces démocratiques syriennes. Cette coalition de groupes armés, à majorité kurde, contrôlait depuis 2017 et de manière autonome. Un tiers du territoire syrien, un contrôle obtenu à la faveur de la lutte contre l'organisation État islamique. Dans un pays morcelé par 14 années de guerre, l'unité territoriale était devenue la priorité du président de transition Ahmed Al-Charaa. La semaine dernière, les deux partis ont annoncé avoir signé un accord global : arrêt définitif des combats et fin d'autonomie kurde dans la région. Un Grand reportage de Manon Chapelain qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Au Sri Lanka, entre Génération Z, marxisme et âge de raison Gen Z. La génération Z, ces jeunes nés avec la révolution numérique et les réseaux sociaux. Au Sri Lanka, au large de la pointe sud du continent indien, elle a frappé un grand coup en 2022. Elle a chassé le président. Les jeunes du Bangladesh, du Népal, de Madagascar et d'ailleurs se sont sentis pousser des ailes : ils ont aussi secoué leurs institutions.
