Starmer’s gone: So can the ‘King of the North’ win back Britain’s working class?

Keir Starmer came to power with an overwhelming majority, but despite some key reforms, it took him less than two years to be rejected by the public and many members of his own party. His successor will be Britian's seventh prime minister in just ten years. Enter the ‘King of the North’.  Andy Burnham, beats Starmer hands down when it comes to charisma and popularity. But he’s untested on the national and international stage, and will be facing a British public impatient for change. So will Andy Burnham be the man to woo back the working class and usher in much needed stability in British politics?

Data Centres: The next gold mine or black hole? Lessons from America

Across America communities are pushing back against the data centres powering artificial intelligence.  Water quality, noise and the drain on water and electricity are some of the reasons. While money being generated by AI centres and the potential to generate more accelerating exponentially, many Americans are skeptical that funds will flow back to their communities. With Australia already at the forefront of the AI data centre revolution and the potential for these centres to contribute huge funds to our economy what lessons can we learn from America? * Guest: Robert Bryce [https://www.robertbryce.com/], author , journalist, and commentator. He's the author of six books, including A Question of Power: Electricity and the Wealth of Nations. * Hosts: Hamish Macdonald and Waleed Aly

On the radar: Inside Iran with Karishma Vyas

On this episode of Global Roaming's new 'On the Radar' series we are joined by the ABC's Asia editor, Karishma Vyas who gives us an inside track into the regime's tactics as the Iran and US peace deal is negotiated and an insight the scam centres popping up across Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia that she recently visited. In May Karishma was one of the only Western reporters allowed to report inside Iran giving her a rare glimpse into how the regime and Iranians feel as a peace deal is negotiated. Karishma says the regime is passing off the toll system for the ships passing the Strait of Hormuz as an 'administration fee'. Meanwhile, on the streets of Tehran she found women gathering to support the regime, the same regime that has been accused of violent suppression of its people months earlier. So what is real and what is propaganda? * Guest presenter: Karishma Vyas, ABC Asia editor * Hosts: Hamish Macdonald and Geraldine Doogue
