This week we look at Peru, Afghanistan, North Korea and the new alliance between the UK, US and Australia.  We celebrate with Emma and wonder why Neymar is gagged. We have Covid news and the extraordinary story of the Canadian ethics professor sacked for teaching ethics. English Opera and its diversity cull; The Chair; And Melbourne dictates to Christian schools (again); The Voice, Australia;  the deaths of John Selby Spong, David Yonghi Cho, Colin Urquhart and Rev Silas Yakubi Ali.  We finish with the contrast between the Buddhist and Christian view of sorrow and a great version of Amazing Grace from the Sing conference.
