Following up the e-mail below:

Roger Broadbent tells me the second lecture in the Asialink series
"Five Minutes to Midnight" was recorded a couple of weeks ago.

Broadcast times are:
Friday 20 July @ 2330 UT (Asia/Pacific & OnLine)

Saturday 21 July @ 1030 UT (Asia & OnLine - the Pacific will hear
coverage of a Rugby Union game between Australia & NZ)

Sunday 22 July @ 0230 & 0530 (OnLine only)

Sunday 22 July @ 1130 UT (World Radio Network - North America stream)

(BTW - the morning SW service we hear in North America is the Pacific service).

MP3 & Podcast - of both lectures is available on the Radio Australia website at:
http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/fivemins/

Here are some additional details on the series:

Five Minutes to Midnight:  Melbourne University's Asialink explores
the ticking of the Doomsday Clock, a concept established in 1947 at
the University of Chicago to reflect concerns that the world could
obliterate itself by way of  nuclear war.

The title of the series, Five Minutes to Midnight, refers to planet
earth's current position on the Doomsday Clock, based on nuclear,
environmental and technological threats. The clock ticked forward two
minutes in January 2007, due to climate change.

The second lecture in this three part series is titled:  "Terrorism as
a Family Activity: Understanding Jemaah Islamiyah's Social Ties",
Presented by Sidney Jones of the International Crisis Group (ICG)
