In this episode, I speak with Rachel Stonehouse, an Investigative Reporter and documentary producer for BBC News and formerly for BBC NewsBeat. She recently produced and presented the documentary ‘Young and Addicted: Generation Ketamine” which took a graphic look at the impacts of recreational ketamine use. For anyone who doesn't know, Ketamine is a medical drug that has been used since the 70's. It is safe in small doses and is effective in assisting the treatment of some mental health conditions. Ketamine is also popular as an illicit drug in the UK, Europe, North America, and many countries in Asia and is growing in popularity in Australia and New Zealand. As stated in the documentary, Government figures have shown that Ketamine addiction has more than quadrupled since 2016 in England and Wales. What may not yet be common knowledge is that the drug has serious health consequences. Rachel gives of background about herself and how she ended up involved in the documentary. She tells us what inspired her to specifically make a documentary about ketamine addiction. She shares insights from her experience and how this has changed her views of the drug. She discusses insights from people she spoke to with lived experience as well as experts. She tells us the ways that she hopes the documentary will contribute to public understanding and awareness. Including specific policy or societal changes, she hopes the documentary will inspire regarding drug education, treatment accessibility, or harm reduction efforts.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX In the news is brought to you by Edgepark simplify your diabetes journey with Edgepark XX This week was World Diabetes Day so there is a LOT going on.. Our top story is XX Novo Nordisk said on Wednesday it would discontinue its long-acting insulin Levemir in the United States, citing manufacturing constraints, reduced patient access and available alternatives. The Danish drugmaker said supply disruptions would start in mid-January, followed by discontinuation of the Levemir injection pen in April and of Levemir vials by the end of 2024. Novo has another long-acting insulin, Tresiba, on the market and says quote - "global manufacturing constraints, significant formulary losses impacting patient access effective in January 2024, and the availability of alternative options in the U.S. market" are key factors in the decision. The announcement comes eight months after Novo said it would cut U.S. list prices for several of its insulin products next year, including a 65% reduction in the list price of Levemir. Novo, which overtook LVMH (LVMH.PA) as Europe's most valuable listed company this year, posted record operating profit for the third quarter, with sales of its obesity drug Wegovy reaching $1.36 billion, up 28% from the previous quarter. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/novo-nordisk-discontinue-levemir-insulin-us-market-2023-11-08/ XX Big news from Tandem Diabetes this week – first, their Control IQ algorithm gets FDA approval for children as young as two years old. the technology's original 2019 clearance limited its use to those aged 6 and older. And.. they are officially rolling out the software update that will allow users to connect to either the Dexcom G6 or G7 CGM. If you're in the limited launch you got an email this week telling you the next steps – wider release is expected gradually in the first part of 2024. Integration with Abbot's FreeStyle Libre is expected very soon as well – which would mean Tandem's tslim x2 and Mobi pumps would be compatible with three CGMs. Full disclosure: there wasn't a media release that I received on this, but my son is in the limited launch group so we got the email.   https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/tandem-diabetes-care-cruises-fda-ok-toddler-use-automated-insulin-delivery-algorithm XX Beta Bionics iLet pump and its supplies are now covered as part of some pharmacy benefits - Express Scripts added it to its national formulary list. Historically, insulin pumps fall under the durable medical equipment (DME) insurance benefit. Usually pharmacy benefits are more flexible with fewer up front costs. The system uses an adaptive, closed-loop algorithm that initializes with the user's body weight and requires no additional insulin dosing parameters. The algorithm removes the need to manually adjust insulin pump therapy settings and variables. iLet simplifies mealtime use by replacing conventional carb counting with its meal announcement feature. This enables users to estimate the amount of carbs in their meal, categorized as “small,” “medium” or “large.” Over time, the algorithm learns to respond to users' individual insulin needs. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/beta-bionics-pharmacy-benefit-bionic-pancreas/ XX The UK has launched a pioneering study to explore the development of type 1 diabetes in adults which aims to screen 20,000 individuals. Research will enable earlier and safer diagnosis of type 1 diabetes through blood tests. This makes the UK the first country to implement general population screening for type 1 diabetes in both children and adults. The Type 1 Diabetes Risk in Adults (T1DRA) study, launched on World Diabetes Day, seeks to enroll 20,000 adults aged 18 to 70. Supported by The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust and building on the Diabetes UK-funded Bart's Oxford Family study (BOX), T1DRA aims to unravel the mysteries of adult-onset type 1 diabetes. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/news/2023/nov/groundbreaking-study-to-screen-20000-adults-for-type-1-diabetes.html XX The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), England's cost-effectiveness watchdog, has finalized a draft guidance regarding hybrid closed-loop systems, concluding that the technology should be made broadly affordable and accessible to help people with Type 1 diabetes better manage the condition. In this month's final draft guidance (PDF), NICE recommended that hybrid closed-loop technology be offered to all people with Type 1 diabetes who are having trouble controlling the condition using their existing devices.   NICE said that it has already devised a five-year rollout plan with the NHS to bring the technology to people with Type 1 diabetes. Hybrid closed-loop systems will be offered first to children, young people, existing insulin pump users and women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, after which they'll be issued to adults who have an average HbA1c reading of at least 7.5%. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/nice-recommends-hybrid-closed-loop-systems-type-1-diabetes-prompting-praise-medtronic XX     Commercial XX Kyle Banks was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on November 1, 2015 while performing with the traveling production of Disney's The Lion King.  Performing nightly for sold out audiences across the country was a dream come true, but after experiencing symptoms of the onset of type 1 diabetes, the dream temporarily turned into a nightmare. The symptoms he experienced were  typical for the onset of this chronic illness. but with limited knowledge of type 1 diabetes, he had no idea what was occurring or the drastic life change that would soon follow.  In 2020, he founded Kyler Cares in partnership with Children's Hospital New Orleans and has since connected with families from across the country that are living with this disease.  Kyler Cares seeks to improve health outcomes for people of color living with diabetes and ensuring families can access the resources and technology available for better management is the route the organization is taking to achieve that goal. At Kyler Cares we're working to improve health outcomes for people of color living with diabetes by improving access to diabetes technology, creating connections to education and resources, and fostering community as an added system of support on our journeys. Kyler Bear & Friends' T1 Diaries is an eight-part animated series for kids, dedicated to storytelling about life with Type 1 Diabetes. Our series is more than just an educational tool; it's a reflection of real-life stories and an avenue to strengthen community ties. It's a vehicle for us to inspire young people to begin laying a foundation of knowledge and self-confidence with management of T1D that will resonate throughout their lives until a cure for the disease is discovered.   By supporting this series with a donation, you will be contributing to a project that not only educates and informs but also offers comfort and a sense of belonging to kids navigating life with T1D. ‘Kyler Bear's T1 Diaries' isn't just a series; it's a beacon of hope, a source of information, and a testament to the strength found in our amazing T1D community. Join us in bringing these stories to life XX Married At First Sight UK ends this week, but one bride says viewers haven't seen her whole story.   Fans will find out if Tasha Jay, 25, decides to stay with partner Paul Liba on the Channel 4 show.   But Tasha, who has type 1 diabetes, has spoken out about how footage about her condition didn't make the final cut.   While she's "really sad" that it was left out, Tasha's pleased that people are now realising why she behaved in a certain way on the show at times.     Married at First Sight - or MAFS - is a social experiment where experts match complete strangers who try to live as a couple.   Tasha says her wedding day with Paul on the show was a "really beautiful moment" that included her telling Paul about her diabetes and his reaction.   "I got filmed taking my insulin and checking my blood sugar," she tells BBC Newsbeat.. Tasha was diagnosed at aged two and half and says people have asked why that part of her was hidden in the show.   "And I'm like I didn't hide it," she says.   "For whatever reason they haven't shown it, which really upsets me because diabetes is a part of my story."   Tasha believes that, if people had known about her diabetes, it would have changed their perception of certain moments in the show. https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-67368445

India's Supreme Court has rejected a petition seeking to legalise same-sex marriage. Petitioners sought the same rights as heterosexual couples — including the right to adopt children and open joint bank accounts. The petitioners said not being able to marry violates their constitutional rights and makes them "second-class citizens.” The government and religious leaders strongly opposed same-sex unions, saying they are against Indian culture.Umang Poddar, a reporter in the BBC Delhi Bureau, explains the Supreme Court's ruling and shares some early reactions to the verdict. He also explains how the decision could impact the lives of LBGTQ+ people in the country.

Rerun. Research In Motion were once the world's most popular maker of smartphones, but when they launched the BlackBerry 850 on 19th January, 1999, the device had no phone functionality: it was marketed as a two-way pager. However, the gadget's ability to bounce emails from a desktop server to its users on the move, and its bespoke instant messaging service, BBM, ensured it soon became an essential tool in the executive businessperson's arsenal. Until the iPhone came along, anyway… In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly revisit the ‘CrackBerry' phenomenon; unpick the role of Al Gore and Barack Obama as ultimate celebrity influencers for the brand; and wonder whether anyone will still be using one, after the company's recent announcement that their handsets will no longer be supported… Further Reading: • ‘The one reason why I'll always miss the BlackBerry' (Slate, 2013): https://slate.com/technology/2013/10/the-one-reason-why-ill-always-miss-the-blackberry.html • ‘The rise and fall of the BlackBerry in popular culture' (BBC Newsbeat, 2016): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-37500230 • ‘Classic BlackBerry Devices To Officially Stop Working After Decades Of Popularity' (NBC Today, 2022): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWhuVEfDPv8 ‘Why am I hearing a rerun?' Every Thursday is 'Throwback Thursday' on Today in History with the Retrospectors: running one repeat per week means we can keep up the quality of our independent podcast.

Rerun. Attending or producing raves was made illegal in Britain with the passing of the Criminal Justice Act on 3rd November, 1994. The government even legislated against electronic dance music, “wholly or predominantly characterized by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats” These unprecedented restrictions were partly in reaction to the moral panic caused after a 'free party' at Castlemorton Common attracted 30,000-40,000 attendees, and the ire of the tabloid press. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider the provenance of ‘revellers' in the raver's lexicon; explain why the creation of the M25 lead directly to the Act; and confess just how many illegal parties they've (inadvertently) attended…  Further Reading: • ‘The Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 becomes law' (The Guardian, 2011): https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/jun/15/criminal-justice-public-order-act • Police clash with ravers at Castlemorton (BBC News West, 1992): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOySsljl54E • ‘Why did raves become illegal?'

Our parents always tell us that if we work hard, we will do well. If you're studying at university this ultimately means passing your exams and achieving a first-class degree. Easier said than done! So if you're struggling to complete that final assignment or feel your revision is going nowhere, how will you believe that getting a top-notch qualification is a real possibility?我们的父母总是告诉我们，如果我们努力工作，我们就会做得很好。如果您在大学学习，这最终意味着通过考试并获得一流的学位。说起来容易做起来难！因此，如果您正在努力完成最后的作业，或者觉得您的复习无济于事，您如何相信获得一流的资格是真正的可能性？I can't claim to be an expert in this as the grade I achieved in my degree was a little lower than a first! But today, in the UK at least, there are encouraging signs that getting one is a bit more attainable. That's because the number of first-class degrees being awarded by UK universities is soaring, with firsts now more common than a 2:2. More than a quarter of students received a first in 2015 and 2016 at the UK's top universities, known as the Russell Group. Among specialist institutions, such as in the creative arts, proportions of firsts are thought to be even higher – such as 64% of students getting firsts at the Royal Academy of Music.我不能声称自己是这方面的专家，因为我的学位成绩比第一名略低！但是今天，至少在英国，有令人鼓舞的迹象表明，获得一个更容易实现。这是因为英国大学授予的一流学位的数量正在飙升，现在第一比 2:2 更为普遍。超过四分之一的学生在 2015 年和 2016 年获得了英国顶尖大学罗素集团的第一名。在创意艺术等专业机构中，第一的比例被认为更高——例如 64% 的学生在皇家音乐学院获得第一。Of course, not everyone thinks this is because of the hard graft that students are putting in. Critics say that universities are handing out higher grades to boost applications and having a first-class degree gives an advantage for future job opportunities – this all looks good on a university prospectus. But there have also been arguments that rising degree grades reflect the improved A-level grades of those entering university and a more focused attention to studying.当然，并不是每个人都认为这是因为学生付出了沉重的代价。批评者说，大学正在发放更高的成绩来增加申请，拥有一流的学位可以为未来的工作机会提供优势——这一切看起来都不错在大学招股说明书上。但也有人认为，学位成绩的提高反映了进入大学的 A-level 成绩的提高以及对学习的更加专注。But whatever the reason, we mustn't deny first-class graduates their hard-earned achievement and success. Many have made sacrifices along the way, such as 22 year old Khadijah Lewis, who got a first in history and sociology at Warwick University. She told the BBC's Newsbeat programme that her course was "tough" but says "Knowing that getting a first is more common than a 2:2 does make me feel like my first isn't as valid," she explains, "but also I know that I worked very hard for it, so regardless of how easy or how hard people think it is, I still did it."但无论出于何种原因，我们都不能否认一流毕业生来之不易的成就和成功。许多人在此过程中做出了牺牲，例如 22 岁的 Khadijah Lewis，他在华威大学获得了历史和社会学的第一名。她告诉 BBC 的 Newsbeat 节目，她的课程“很难”，但她说：“知道获得第一个比 2:2 更常见确实让我觉得我的第一个不那么有效，”她解释说，“但我我知道我为此付出了很多努力，所以不管人们认为它多么容易或多么困难，我仍然做到了。”Another student, Sam Gibbins, who got a first in software engineering at Cardiff Metropolitan University said he spent "a lot of nights in the library". But even though he did well, he says going to university is not just about the grades, he says "You develop so much going to university, and meet so many people, you're able to understand yourself much better." Some wise words; it sounds as though he studied at the university of life!另一位学生 Sam Gibbins 在卡迪夫城市大学获得了软件工程的第一名，他说他“在图书馆度过了很多个夜晚”。但即使他做得很好，他说上大学不仅仅是成绩，他说“你在大学里发展了很多，结识了很多人，你能够更好地了解自己。”一些明智的话；听起来好像他在生命大学学习！词汇表first-class degree 一等成绩easier said than done 说比做容易assignment 作业，任务top-notch 一流的qualification 资格证书，资历attainable 可实现的，可获得的soar 猛增2:2 （英国本科毕业）二级乙等学士学位Russell Group 罗素大学集团creative arts 创意艺术Royal Academy of Music 英国皇家音乐学院hard graft 繁重的学业application 入学申请prospectus （学校的）简介deny 拒绝承认graduate 毕业生，大学毕业生sacrifice 牺牲sociology 社会学valid 让人信服的software engineering 软件工程the university of life 生活经历

Britney Spears spoke publicly in a LA court yesterday about the conservatorship that she sees as controlling her life. Her father was granted control over her affairs after she went to hospital because of mental health concerns. Now she says her father controls her "100,000%" and told the judge she was traumatised and cried every day. "I just want my life back," she said. We talk to BBC Newsbeat reporter Lindsay Brown and the writer Pandora Sykes who presents a soon to be released, eight-part podcast series called Pieces of Britney. We talk about Jackie Collins who was often dismissed as the Queen of Sleaze but she's one of the most successful female authors of all time. But who really was the woman behind the glamour?

Once upon a time the concept of legalising recreational cannabis was something stoners at house parties dreamt about, but in the past few years the conversation around cannabis has changed. BBC Newsbeat journalist Jim Connolly travelled with Labour's David Lammy, Conservative MP Jonathan Djanogly and Liberal Democrat Sir Norman Lamb on a fact-finding trip to Canada. In 2018 Canada became the first G7 country to allow recreational use of the drug. The MPs are now convinced the UK will fully legalise cannabis use within five to ten years. Currently cannabis is designated as a Class B drug in the UK and anyone caught with it could face up to five years in prison. Jim spoke to Matthew about what, and who, is driving the push for legalisation in the UK. You can watch Jim’s Newsbeat documentary here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p07hlnh7/newsbeat-documentaries-legalising-weed-canadas-story.

Is 2016 an unusually deadly year for terrorism? In a joint investigation with BBC Newsbeat and BBC Monitoring, we’ve analysed nearly 25,000 news articles to assess whether 2016 so far has been a unusually deadly year for terrorism. It certainly feels like it. But what do the numbers say? We estimate that, between January and July this year, 892 people died in terrorist attacks in Europe – making it the most deadly first seven months of a year since 1994. But the vast majority of those deaths have been in Turkey. The number for Western Europe is 143, which is lower than many years in the 1970s. Dying ‘at the hands of the police’ This week retired footballer Dalian Atkinson died after being 'tasered' by police. His death has renewed concerns about the number of people who die after coming into contact with the police. Recently it was claimed that one person a week dies ‘at the hands of the police’ and that ‘black people are disproportionately affected.’ We take a look at the numbers. Olympic predictions As the Games in Rio draw to an end, we look back at the medal predictions we made before they started. Which countries have performed as expected?
