High street gambling venues, known as adult gaming centres, promise a safe and sociable experience; the chance to have a chat, a coffee and a flutter, under the supervision of trained staff. And they're proving to be popular, with an increasing number springing up across the country, some of which are open 24 hours a day. But File on 4 Investigates hears concerns some venues are failing to protect people struggling with gambling addictions - with devastating consequences. AGC's are supposed to ensure staff are trained to spot problem gamblers and intervene. They also operate a self-exclusion scheme which allows problem gamblers to self-exclude from AGC's. Staff should intervene if they spot somebody who has self-exlcuded and should ask them to leave the premises. It's a sensible plan - but does it actually work?

Architect Pi de Bruijn van de Architekten Cie. ontwierp in de jaren ‘80 en ‘90 de uitbreiding van de Tweede Kamer en is, na een korte onderbreking, nu ook weer betrokken bij de renovatie van de door hem ontworpen bouwdelen. Een gesprek over het ontwerpproces toen en nu, over zijn vriendschap met Rem Koolhaas, zijn band met de Tweede Kamer, en de nieuwe publieksentree die hij met zijn team heeft ontworpen.Rijksbouwmeester Wim Quist benaderde in 1981 vijf architecten om in een traject van een jaar een ontwerp voor de Tweede Kamer uit te werken. Een van de benaderde architecten was Pi de Bruijn, die toen nog maar één gebouw had gerealiseerd; een buurtcentrum in Amsterdam-Oost. Hoe kwam hij, toen 39 jaar oud, op dat lijstje terecht?In de podcast vertelt hij dat hij het niet zeker weet, maar dat hij denkt dat de Rijksbouwmeester bij hem een sensibiliteit voor de omgang met bestaande gebouwen had gezien, een wil om een werkelijk participatief traject te doorlopen, en dat het hielp dat hij al een stevig bureau achter zich had. Een paar jaar eerder was hij partner geworden bij het bureau van Frans van Gool en Arnold Oyevaar.Zelf had Pi na zijn afstuderen een periode voor de gemeente Londen gewerkt, waar hij al de veranderende houding ten aanzien van het modernisme had ervaren, met de daaropvolgende herwaardering van de voormoderne architectuur. Daarna had hij een periode bij de gemeente Amsterdam gewerkt, om vervolgens vanuit een jarenlange participatie het buurtcentrum in Amsterdam-Oost te ontwerpen. Het ontwerp daarvan werd volgens Pi door Wim Quist gewaardeerd.Zo kwam Pi dus op de shortlist van de Tweede Kamer en gedurende het jaar dat de verschillende architecten in nauwe samenwerking met de Kamer hun plannen uitwerkten, merkte hij ook al snel dat dat participatieve traject hem lag. Waar zijn tegenstrevers uiteindelijk uitstel moesten vragen voor het inleveren van hun plannen, kon hij zijn plannen wel op tijd indienen. Hij werd geselecteerd en kon er met de Tweede Kamer aan verder werken.In de podcast vertelt hij hoe het ontwerpproces vervolgens verder liep; waarom het gebouw van de Raad van State aan het Plein uiteindelijk toch gesloopt moest worden, hoe de als publieke passage ontworpen ruimte kort voor de opening toch besloten werd, hoe het café onderin de toren voor Nieuwspoort politiek de nek om werd gedraaid en welke symboliek er in het ontwerp voor de Tweede Kamer verwerkt zit.Na de voltooiing van het Tweede Kamercomplex in de jaren ‘90 bleef Pi met zijn bureau erbij betrokken. Iedere keer dat er iets aangepast moest worden, werd hij gebeld. Hij vond het dan ook onbegrijpelijk dat OMA in 2017 gevraagd werd om de renovatie van de door hem ontworpen gebouwdelen te ontwerpen. Als het gaat om een technische renovatie, waarom vraag je dan een architect die bekendstaat om zijn conceptuele ontwerpen?, vraagt hij zich in de podcast hardop af.Wat op de achtergrond een rol speelde was dat het eigendom van het Tweede Kamercomplex rond 2015 overgedragen was van de Tweede Kamer zelf naar het Rijksvastgoedbedrijf. Terwijl de Tweede Kamer in de jaren ‘80 en ‘90 zijn opdrachtgever was geweest, was de Tweede Kamer nu niet eens betrokken geweest bij de architectenselectie, stelt Pi. De Tweede Kamer waardeerde het complex zoals het was en wilde dat Pi de renovatie zou ontwerpen. In 2019 is hij tot zijn grote opluchting alsnog gevraagd om de renovatie te ontwerpen voor de door hem ontworpen bouwdelen.De luchtfoto bij de podcast is gemaakt door Aerofoto. Deze podcast wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door AGC.

A short drive from Augusta, GA is the quaint, beautiful town of Aiken, SC, known for its iconic horse businesses of breeding, training, and showing. It's also home to one of the truly great, historic golf courses in the Southeast, Aiken Golf Course, which in the past couple of years has gone from "Hidden Gem" to "Must Play" for anyone who loves the game., One week after playing, and being enthralled once again by, AGC, Mitch (and Darin and Kris) are joined by AGC owner Jim McNair, Jr., who, along with his father Jim, Sr. before him, have shepherded this affordable, welcoming, and challenging municipal course for 65+ years, and are finally getting the recognition for a lifetime of passion and service to the golf community they so richly deserve.  Jim shares the history of his beloved golf course, which dates back to 1912, as well as his father's involvement which began in 1959.

On this week's Colombia Calling podcast, we speak to James Bargent, an investigative journalist for Insight Crime about his work putting together the new podcast: "the Shadow of El Dorado." Along with his colleague Mat Charles, the resulting podcast is a multi-year project which takes the listener into the world of organized crime and how the Gaitanista (Clan del Golfo or AGC) criminal organisation controls the mining economy and its subsidiary interests in the town of Segovia, Antioquia. Their search for Colombia's blood gold takes us to Segovia and the illegal mines at the very beginning of the global supply chain. But what they find there is a strange mirror world, where conventional narratives fall apart, and the names and labels they try to apply do not make sense.  Tune in to the podcast: https://insightcrime.org/audio-from-the-ground-up/the-shadow-of-el-dorado-p… The Colombia Briefing is reported by Emily Hart.
