Description

The former President of Myanmar seems to have disappeared inside the country's prison system.  Now her son has an impassioned plea, demanding 'proof' of life.  Kim Aris [https://www.facebook.com/kimarishteinlin/], the son of detained Myanmar State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, has not heard from his mother since 2023. Kim contests the international media's narrative that his mother betrayed the Rohingya so she could keep the military junta on side. Recently in Australia, he has launched a global fitness and solidarity campaign called the 81 for 81 [https://www.facebook.com/kimarishteinlin/] challenge. It's part of the growing international demand for Myanmar to provide 'proof of life' that the Nobel Peace Prize laureate is still alive.

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? Guest: Jon Cruddas author of ‘A Century of Labour’ [https://www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?book_slug=a-century-of-labour--9781509558346] Presenters: Laura Tingle and Latika Bourke Producers: Rebecca Metcalfe, Supervising Producer Kylie Grey, Executive Producer Laura McCauliff
