Sister Rosetta Tharpe was known as the ‘godmother of rock and roll' and influenced countless musicians from Elvis to Johnny Cash. Now Olivier Award-winning performer Beverley Knight is playing Sister Rosetta in a new production, Marie and Rosetta, which has just opened at the Rose Theatre in London. It tells the story of Rosetta and her singing partner, Marie Knight, described as one of the most remarkable and revolutionary duos in music history. Beverley joins Nuala McGovern in the Woman's Hour studio to discuss how the show hopes to restore these forgotten musical heroines to the spotlight. The Government has announced that care workers will no longer be recruited from overseas as part of a crackdown on visas for lower-skilled workers. The care sector has criticised the plans as "cruel" and "short-sighted". To discuss this and what good care looks like, Nuala is joined by Gavin Edwards, Head of Social Care at Unison, and care worker Kathryn Faulke, author of the memoir Every Kind of People: A Journey into the Heart of Care Work.It's thought that around 3 to 4% of people in the UK, that's one in 20, have ADHD - Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. However many women still remain undiagnosed for decades of their lives, with those in their 40s, 50s and 60s only now discovering they have it for the first time. Jo Beazley was diagnosed with ADHD just two years ago at the age of 49, after her symptoms worsened during the menopause. She joins Nuala along with Amanda Kirby, the former chair of the ADHD Foundation and a professor in the field of neurodiversity. This week we'll be hearing different perspectives on the recent Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman under the Equality Act, and how it could and should be interpreted on the ground. The Equality and Human Rights Commission has issued interim guidance that, in places open to the public, trans women shouldn't use women's facilities such as toilets. Today Nuala speaks to Robin Moira White, a barrister who specialises in taking discrimination cases, and who is also a trans woman. Robin transitioned in 2011 and is co-author of A Practical Guide to Transgender Law. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Sarah Jane Griffiths

Headteachers are gathering today in Harrogate for the annual conference of the National Association of Head Teachers. The negative effects on their students of smartphones and social media access has become a national conversation in recent months, with differing views on who should take the lead in protecting children; the Government, schools, parents, or tech companies. Anita Rani talks to secondary head Emma Mills. Her school, Birchwood High in Warrington, attracted national attention two years ago when teenager Brianna Ghey was murdered. Emma joins Anita to explain why she implemented the ban and what the effects have been so far.Barrister and campaigner Charlotte Proudman first came to prominence ten years ago when she called out a lawyer on LinkedIn who praised her profile picture. Never afraid to speak her mind, she talks to Anita about her new book ‘He said, She Said: Truth, Trauma and the Struggle for Justice in Family Court'.Writer George Eliot is brought to life in a new stage setting, accompanied by contemporary music by British female singer songwriters and using mainly her own words to tell her story. Author of seven novels, a poet and translator, George Eliot - real name Mary Ann Evans - was ahead of her time, befriended pioneering feminists and at one point became the second richest woman in England after Queen Victoria. Performers SuRie and Hermione Norris join Anita to discuss their celebration of her extraordinary and ground breaking life. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Laura Northedge

Graeme Edgeler: electoral law expert and barrister on the Government reinstating a ban on prisoners voting

A legal expert has raised issues with the Government's plan to reinstate a total ban on prisoners voting in general elections. The Government is proposing to reverse changes that let prisoners with sentences under three years vote, with the Justice Minister saying this sends a message to those who breach their civil responsibilities. Electoral law expert and barrister Graeme Edgeler has taken issue with the 'randomness' of this proposal. "If someone's got a life sentence or 10 years or something, they're going to miss out on voting at elections - but someone who's maybe got a one-year sentence, the question of whether they get banned from voting turns on whether they got sentence in 2023 or 2025."

Welcome back to Through the inquisitor's lens, the podcast that explores the complex world of public inquiries and inquests, one question at a time.  In this episode, we explore whether Coroners' Prevention of Future Death (PFD) Reports are truly fit for purpose. Catherine Henney, Legal Director at Eversheds Sutherland, and David Pojur, Barrister at Lincoln House Chambers and Assistant Coroner for North Wales, discuss the statutory role of PFD reports, the training and guidance provided to coroners on when to issue them, and the frequently raised concern that PFDs lack real enforcement power, with no sanctions for those who fail to respond.  They also consider whether the approach of the new Chief Coroner signals a shift in emphasis, and whether we are likely to see greater scrutiny of PFD reports and of those who fail to engage with them.

In 1999 under the presidency of Prince Soltan Ali Mirza this reconstituted association was brought to life by Prof. Manoutchehr Eskandari-Qajar (Santa Barbara City College) and Leo Barjesteh, who, together with Prof. M. Tehranian (then University of Hawaii), also founded the International Qajar Studies Association, of which Soltan Ali Mirza Qajar was the honorary president.Soltan Ali Mirza was a Barrister at Law from France and resided in Paris, France.

A driver who scraped another car with his vehicle while leaving a bar carpark has had an insurer's decision to turn down his claim on the basis he had been drinking overturned. The claim was initially denied because the insurer said the driver was 'under the influence' - but he argued two handles of beer was hardly inebriated. Barrister Chris Patterson says there's a lesson that can be taken from this. "If you've been wronged, then it's worth taking the insurance company on. If you know that the insurance company's on good grounds because the grounds they gave you are fair and you accept them - it's probably not worth taking them on."

But a campaign to clear her is being led by 14 medical experts who say there is no medical evidence for murders or attacks on those babies in her ward at the hospital.

Welcome back to Through the inquisitor's lens, our new podcast series which explores the complex world of public inquiries and inquests, one question at a time.  In each monthly episode, members of Eversheds Sutherland's Inquiries & Investigations (I&I) team sit down in conversation with leading barristers and industry professionals, leaning on their own experience of working on a number of significant inquests and inquiries.  In this series we explore a range of topics relating to public and independent inquiries, complex inquests and investigations. Providing legal and practical insights, alongside commentary on high profile cases in this field, we hope this series will be a useful tool in developing an understanding of the workings of inquiries, inquests and investigations.  In the second episode of our series, we dive into the intricacies of chairing a non-statutory independent inquiry, focussing on the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Exploitation in Telford (“the Inquiry”), where Eversheds Sutherland acted as the Commissioning Body, and worked together with the Chair, Tom Crowther KC, Barrister at 23ES. Gina Margaroni, a key member of the Commissioning Body team, sits down with Tom Crowther to reflect on the Inquiry's work. The Inquiry was launched in 2019 and concluded in July 2022. The Chair's report contained 47 recommendations, and both the Chair and Eversheds Sutherland visited Telford again in 2024, two years later, to assess the progress made against those recommendations. This discussion was recorded in July 2024, on the day that the Inquiry's two-year review report was published.  In the podcast, Gina and Tom discuss: the framework and structure of the Inquiry, establishing the Inquiry's terms of reference, the pandemic's impact on the Inquiry's operations, functioning as a non-statutory inquiry, the importance of building in the ability to review progress against recommendations, insights from the 'Telford model'  Together, they provide an in-depth look at the challenges and lessons learned from conducting an independent, non-statutory inquiry – as opposed to a public inquiry.

The episode dives into the intriguing dynamics between the United States and Canada, particularly surrounding trade and intellectual property (IP). As US President Donald Trump threatened tariffs on Canadian goods, a discussion emerged on how Canada could respond strategically. The central theme revolves around the underappreciated power of intellectual property as a bargaining chip in trade negotiations, particularly for a smaller nation like Canada. Michael Mulligan, a Barrister with Mulligan Defence Lawyers, emphasized that tariffs, often seen as the primary retaliatory measure, could ultimately harm Canadian consumers more than US producers. Understanding the intricate mechanisms of tariffs is key to grasping the broader consequences they can have on the economy. For instance, imposing a tariff on imported orange juice or motorcycles from the US would lead to inflated prices for Canadian consumers, while the US would experience only a minor economic sting. Thus, the discussion shifted toward a more sophisticated method of retaliation, focusing on IP laws established followin the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and its successor, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Mulligan pointed out that the core of US-Canada trade discussions for many years has centred on IP protections, effectively making them a focal point of economic dependence.Mulligan explored real-world examples from Brazil and Antigua, which successfully leveraged their own IP protections in previous trade disputes with the US. Brazil's complaint regarding US cotton subsidies led to the approved threat of revoking US IP protections, which ultimately resulted in the US conceding to pay Brazil $130 million per year. Similarly, Antigua exploited online gambling disputes with the US, illustrating how the threat of losing IP protection led to fruitful negotiations. This approach illustrates how Canada might consider the strategic use of IP law to apply pressure on the US, particularly given the reliance of many American industries on these legal protections.The latter part of the episode transitioned dramatically into a more sombre topic: a first-degree murder case in Nanaimo. The gruesome details of the crime revealed a complex tapestry of intimate partner violence and the psychological implications associated with it. Michael discussed how the defendant's appeal to self-defence was complicated by the admissibility of expert evidence related to intimate partner violence. The case set off a significant dialogue about the complexities of legal definitions surrounding self-defence and the importance of integrating expert insights into judicial proceedings.The legal intricacies presented in the murder case add depth to the episode. The issue of admitting expert evidence played a crucial role, with the judge having to determine if the proposed testimony would be more prejudicial than probative. Mulligan explained that understanding the nuances of intimate partner violence can be vital to a fair trial, as conventional wisdom often fails to capture the complex emotional and psychological realities victims face. The juxtaposition of trade strategies and legal defences in murder cases provides a compelling lens through which to understand both the legal landscape and the very human stories behind it.Ultimately, this podcast episode not only sheds light on the legal frameworks governing trade but also emphasizes the ethical responsibilities of the legal system to understand and acknowledge trauma in criminal cases. It stands as a poignant reminder of how law intersects with both international affairs and personal struggles, illustrating the multifaceted nature of legal advocacy today.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

In our premiere episode, we will discuss the experience of being involuntarily childless in a pronatalist world, through personal experiences, and the need for change. Our guest for this episode is Hilary Fennell.   Hilary is an award-winning programme maker and journalist with extensive experience of working in television and radio as a series producer and director.  In her ground-breaking radio documentary, Childless, Hilary Fennell explores the realities and dynamics of being involuntarily childless in a child-centered society.   Her voice as a childless not by choice woman, is interwoven with the stories of six other women. Each of the women speak to their diverse journeys in coming to terms with living a life without children.   Currently, it is estimated that one in five women in Ireland will not have a child, by the time they reach age 45. It is further estimated that only 10% of these women are childless by choice (child free). Childless, focuses on the other 90% of women, who represent an often less represented group.    This group is often silenced by the taboo nature of this topic, which remains today, despite the number of women living without children, not by choice. Further, these statistics do not include other genders. A majority of countries primarily track the parental status of women only.   Societies have become obsessed with motherhood and the idealization of human reproduction, supported by pronatalist rhetoric, which is reinforced through policy, in the workplace and socially.   Hilary navigates the social, physical and emotional impact of childlessness throughout her documentary, with skillful artistry and a full heart, amidst the shadows of grief, a call for social change, and the lightness of learning to live a full and meaningful life.   Please join us to learn more about her incredible radio documentary, and the issues that matter most to those who are living without children, involuntarily.     Hilary Fennell is an award-winning programme maker and journalist with extensive experience of working in television and radio as a series producer and director. Her work runs the gamut from current affairs to arts and human interest and has been in competition at many festivals worldwide. Hilary has worked in both the Irish State Broadcaster RTÉ and the independent sector. As a journalist, she been interviewing and writing for various national media for over twenty years.  She is also a recognised fiction writer, recent prizes include The Sean O'Faolain Short Story Competition.  Hilary also lectures in Broadcast Production at the National Film School at IADT and does presenting and voiceover work.  She originally graduated from Trinity College Dublin with an honours law degree (LL.B, Bachelor in Laws) and qualified as a barrister from The Kings Inns Dublin (BL, Barrister-at-Law).

Ronan is not only a fellow ADHD'er but is the perfect example of what's possible underneath the noise of our neuro-machinery and see our  omni-potential. Ronan and I explored how to be successful in life with ADHD. Ronan McGovern grew up in Dublin without knowing that he had ADHD. This was diagnosed in 1996 while he was a master's student at Stanford Business School. Ronan worked at Price Waterhouse Dublin, where he qualified as a Chartered Accountant. Then, Ronan attended King's Inns for four years where he graduated as a Barrister-at-Law. In 1995 he started his studies at Stanford Business School. Since Stanford Ronan has worked in AIB Bank, in Dublin, Ireland. In 2021, Ronan initiated a voluntary project in collaboration with Stanford Business School (named Rebuild), recruiting 50 other volunteers to write and publish a 60 page landmark report on Neurodiversity in the workplace.
