Today, Daniel Angus, digital communications expert, on how algorithms became so powerful in the first place - and whether we can ever escape them.

- September 8 marks the 60th anniversary of the US premiere of Star Trek: The Original Series, a milestone being celebrated by Trekkies the world over. The franchise has gone through many changes over the decades, but has always retained its beloved sci-fi charm even as it explores complex political allegory and cultural commentary, with a healthy dose of whacky space antics.
The show has inspired astronauts and scientists, and has been a cultural touchstone for more than half a century. So what's behind Star Trek's enduring popularity, and what does the show mean to the fans who have followed it for so long? 'The World' spoke to superfan Melanie Nemer for her take on the show's legacy.

- HSBC's head of global trade solutions, Vivek Ramachandran says in an era of Donald Trump's tariffs, the world is becoming more interconnected than ever with an increase in bilateral trade deals and new trade corridors emerging.
He joined The Business while visiting Australia, saying the new deals may be a consequence of US tariffs and trade wars or it may be a natural evolution of demand in other markets growing faster than anticipated.
"India just signed a trade agreement with the UK and the same with the EU is underway. The GCC is signing new trade deals," he says.
His assessment comes as the United States and Canada ramp up their tariff war, with Canada retaliating against recent US duties and bans on a variety of Canadian products including alcoholic spirits, dairy goods and motorbikes.
When asked whether middle powers are beginning to form alliances as Canada's prime minister Mark Carney has called for, Mr Ramachandran says so fa...

- The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) would be given powers to stop illegal withdrawals of super from self-managed super funds (SMSFs). Perpetrators of financial abuse often set up a joint SMSF, clear money out of the fund illegally, and then leave the victim facing hefty penalties and risk of imprisonment after the money is gone. Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino is unveiling measures aimed at closing the opportunities for financial abuse. He has been considering 61 recommendations made by a parliamentary inquiry into financial abuse. He wants to put greater onus on all financial services providers, including banks, other credit lenders, insurance companies and superannuation funds, to look for signs of financial abuse. Mr Mulino said perpetrators needed to face tougher penalties if they coerced someone into being a company director to rack up tax debts in their name. He is also considering how penalties for tax debts could be waived for victims of financial abuse.

- Commonwealth Bank's base case is that the RBA will hike in November, but its chief economist says the central bank could move higher in September. Luke Yeaman says back-to-back hikes at both meetings can't be ruled out.
"At this stage, we think one more interest rate hike should be enough, especially with the housing market coming off so sharply to help slow consumption, slow activity in the economy, and very slowly bring inflation back to target," he says.
Mr Yeaman's comments came one day after RBA Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser told the ABC taming inflation is the Australian central bank's number one problem.
The chief economist, and former Treasury deputy secretary, says another problem making the RBA's job more difficult is the persistently high oil price, with the Middle East conflict driving Brent crude near $US100 a barrel on Wednesday.
Mr Yeaman says if there's a bigger escalation and oil prices rise beyond $US100 a barrel, i...

She says Australia has to shift from just responding to violence to dealing with the conditions that cause and exacerbate it.
The minister also told parliament that it means getting support to families before they reach crisis, and delivering on frontline services people depend on.
"If we want violence to become rare, brief and non-recurring as the commissioner states, we must ensure that all areas of government at all levels — social security, education, health, justice — are speaking to each other and pulling in the same direction," Ms Plibersek says.

Jesús Gerardo, also known as "El Kekas", Irineo Francisco and Ángel Jesús are facing a number of charges for the alleged killing of Jake and Callum Robinson, and Jack Carter Rhoad in 2024.
Trial by jury in criminal cases is uncommon in Mexico, where verdicts and sentences are usually decided by a trial magistrate or panels of magistrates. But the trial of the three men is being overseen by a single judge.
Ahead of the trial, a new judge was appointed in a dramatic last-minute change. He appeared remotely because there wasn't enough time to get him to Ensenada to attend court in person.
The trial is expected to run for more than four weeks.

- Australia's gas industry, a national titan that's one of the country's biggest exporters, has been in the headlines for years but for the wrong reasons. Now, with a federal gas reservation scheme on the horizon, the industry's united front is splintering, revealing deep frustrations with one player - Santos. Saul Kavonic, head of energy research at MST Financial says the tensions stem from the once-in-a-generation investment boom that opened up the country's east coast gas market to exports. GLNG, or Gladstone LNG, is one of three giant gas export plants built on Curtis Island in Queensland last decade.

Saul Kavonic says Santos was alone in building its plant without having the gas to fill it and needed to buy gas out of the domestic market just to meet its contracts. Grattan Institute analysis of ACCC data shows GLNG is the only Queensland exporter to have consistently taken more g...

- Barnaby Joyce has struggled to explain the economic and financial impact of One Nation's early access superannuation policy.
The policy would allow Australians to divert a portion of their superannuation to their take-home pay for up to three years.
Joyce has pushed back on warnings the scheme would have an inflationary impact by pumping more money into the economy, which may worsen the cost-of-living crisis.
He told RN Breakfast: "The implications that I have to model you getting your own money, I find a little bit perverse. It is actually your money."
