In this round-up of the week, panic provokes lockdowns and quarantines in Europe even though almost nobody’s dying. Panic leads to a U-turn in the UK’s position on fantasy exam results so now there are prizes for everyone. And panic underpins the start of the US presidential elections.
The Mallen Baker Show is aimed at all people who see themselves as change makers, with commentary on issues and change movements with a particular focus on climate change and environment, social issues, free speech and corporate social responsibility.
The video clip of drone footage from Australia used to illustrate the Melbourne is the wrong one - I accidentally used a piece from a couple of months ago from elsewhere. The story is still accurate, it's just wrongly illustrated.
In the UK a Member of Parliament watched porn on his phone and made headline news. Also a female member of Parliament was reportedly likened to Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct and made headline news. Are these the trivial political chatter of the moment, or just the most visible sign of how our society is fundamentally changing beneath the surface?

The US delivers a formal rebuke to the UK normally reserved for enemies not allies, falling vaccination rates mean the US is unlikely to meet its target for independence day. And is the UK betraying the poor by cutting back on its foreign aid?

In this Q&A video, we ask whether the climate activists 'Insulate Britain' or Extinction Rebellion should be jailed, since that seems to be what they're counting on. We also cover vaccines, and poverty, population, climate, transgender sports and a bunch more besides.

The latest Queen's speech was notably NOT delivered by the Queen - for the first time in many decades. The symbolism couldn't be clearer - the coming jubilee celebrations will mark her lengthy reign just as it is imminently soon to end. How will this change a monarchy that had been known for its stability? Is the world really going to accept another two generations of monarchs, or is the UK going to change in more profound ways?

The UK health secretary is brought down, but the country is increasingly chafing against intrusive rules that have just become dumb. Northwestern America has been hit by a truly intense heatwave feeding into the debate around Joe Biden’s huge spending climate bills. And former President Trump’s new social media platform is launched – for real this time. But will he even join it himself?

Sri Lanka has had a dramatic moment when its people revolted and the president was forced to resign. And it’s all because of his devotion to the cause of the environmental elites and organic agriculture. At least, that’s what’s being said. But is it true? Let’s have a look.

If you live in the West, you probably think it’s all going to hell in a handcart. We’re facing something we’ve seen before, and we solved. But it’s not looking hopeful right now, because we’re not talking seriously about the root cause of the problem. What is the state for? And can we reform it (again) away from its bloated, inefficient and corrupt reality - or is this the inevitable decline of the West?

There is one thing that the IPCC says is essential to how we tackle climate change. But a bunch of people, including climate scientists and campaigners are outraged about what it might mean. It is likely to be a real fault-line in what happens next, so let’s have a look.
