The Wire’s editor Seema Chishti takes on this week’s big news in a new episode of Seema Says – a Bangladesh tribunal has awarded former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal death sentence for 'crimes against humanity' during last year's protests, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has swept Bihar assembly elections, and India's football management is in chaos, with matches on hold.

Seema's recommendations:

A review of Vikram Set's Heaven Lake by Jeremiah Jenne – done as part of vintage reviews on China Books Review.

Bodkin, on Netflix – a drama set in Ireland – a journalist, researcher and a podcaster in search of a real-crime story for a podcast.

Jahnavi’s recommendation:

An easy, quick and fudgy brownie recipe for the winter, from none other than Katharine Hepburn.
