Weekly Wrap: The uprising in Iran, and the Australian Open kicks off
JAN 16, 202639 MIN
Description
We’re starting this week with the deadly uprising in Iran. Widespread protests are not uncommon in Iran, but it’s become clear that this uprising is different, and we’ll explain why. Then, we’ll unpick the messy cancellation of Writers’ Week at the Adelaide Festival and how it’s tied to a broader debate on hate speech and antisemitism. We’ll also cover the bushfires and the equipment crisis facing Victorian firefighters, and we’ll get you ready for the summer of tennis as the Australian Open kicks off.
