Well done Pip and Mary on BBC Wiltshire

For generations of women and girls, glossy magazines have been a guide to clothes, lifestyles, relationships and, of course, sex. Titles like Cosmopolitan, Woman's Own and Sugar were pored over by thousands of us and now there is a podcast that celebrates those beloved back issues. Every week the hosts of Mag Hags, Lucy Douglas and Franki Cookney, read a different issue of a magazine from the 70s, 80s or 90s. As well as revelling in the 20th Century fashions, features and lifestyle advice, Lucy and Franki join Nuala McGovern to uncover a fascinating insight into the way we lived then, and the way we live now.A public inquiry begins today which will explore the circumstances of the death of Dawn Sturgess, the woman from Wiltshire killed by a 2018 poisoning blamed on Russian agents. Her death came four months after Sergei and Yulia Skripal were found unconscious on a bench in Salisbury. At the time Prime Minister Theresa May said the Skripals were poisoned with the military grade nerve agent, Novichok and that it was "highly likely" that Russia was responsible - a claim Russia denies. Dawn Sturgess died after coming in to contact with the nerve agent which had been hidden inside a perfume bottle. Nuala is joined by BBC Wiltshire's Marie Lennon, one of the voices behind the new BBC Podcast, Salisbury Poisonings.Black Box Diaries is a feature-length documentary that follows the director Shiori Itō's investigation into her own alleged sexual assault in an attempt to prosecute her high-profile offender. Opening up questions around the #MeToo movement in Japan, Shiori explains how her quest became a landmark case exposing the country's outdated judicial and societal systems.Death is a subject many people still shy away from, but one woman is determined to change that. Funeral director Inez Capps is on a mission to challenge the taboos around death and demystify an industry often shrouded in mystery. Since the age of 19, she's been working with the deceased, and she's using social media to give people a glimpse behind the scenes — from the care a loved one receives, to tours of the hearse and the embalming suite. Inez runs a funeral business with her parents in the East Midlands.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey

Today's guest is a fellow journalist, Sue Kinnear who is the voice of afternoon bulletins for BBC Wiltshire and Gloucestershire and also an experienced radio producer and presenter. In her current role, she has to produce three minutes of news for her bulletins. This means she has to find, write and present bulletins every hour, between 2pm and 6pm  – and it has to fit three minutes precisely. Sue has years of experience in both radio and TV, and like me, she loves telling stories. Most of us have no idea how incredibly hectic it can be gathering the information together for each day from the morning journalist, ready for the afternoon radio shows, plus being aware of breaking news. And remember this isn't for just one station, but two! You'll be fascinated to hear how down to the last minute this can be.  Also like me, Sue loves being engaged with local news. She has sole responsibility to make decisions about which stories go out in her bulletins. It is her job to keep everyone in touch with what's happening nationally, but also for the local area – because listeners' communities are important to them. She in turn loves the relationship that she can build with local listeners. We talk about the importance of including where you are based when you send a story to a journalist. If someone sends a story to Sue and it doesn't say Gloucestershire or Wiltshire at the top, it will get deleted because she has so many emails and having to work to such a tight schedule, she can't waste time with stories which are irrelevant to the areas she covers. Also, Sue underlines the importance of building a relationship with journalists – she recognises the names of people who have helped her with good stories previously, and so is more likely to use them again.  To contact Sue: Email: Sue.kinnear@bbc.co.uk Twitter: https://twitter.com/SueKinnear If you would like to contact me, you can visit my www.Scottmedia.uk or join my free Facebook group here https://www.facebook.com/groups/prtribe

During the Covid 19 crisis in the last 12 months the NHS was faced with the gargantuan task of providing 100 million vaccinations. The NHS in this war like effort was crucially support by an enormous number of volunteers. It was their selfless and determined efforts, that made this task possible and their contribution may have saved atleast 120,000 lives in the UK . Volunteering has scientifically proven benefits for a person's mental health . Ancient scriptures mention selfless service as a pathway to contentment . We discuss both the crucial role of volunteering in the NHS and it's benefits in detail in this interview.

The NHS enters the winter phase surrounded by the "perfect storm" with an unprecedented backlog of cases, the threats from Flu and RSV which may act synergistically with Covid 19 infection and cause infections of greater severity, an expected increase in wintertime hospitalisations from non-communicable diseases (eg Asthma, COPD, IHD), staff and equipment shortages and what is an already overburdened service seeing an unexpectedly high demand on its resources. The fact that > 75% of our population is double vaccinated is indeed a feat of science. Vaccine confidence nationally seems to be high. The risk however is "Vaccine Over-confidence", where all other preventative measures such as social distancing, wearing masks, well-ventilated workspaces, meeting people outdoor wherever possible is put aside for the sense of security that being vaccinated brings. Indeed there is data from Israel that antibody levels wean after 6 months or so. This may increase susceptibility to infection but the vaccines still continue to provide protection from developing a serious infection. There is also data that records a three-fold reduction in transmission in those vaccinated. 99.5% of the mortality in the last 6 months occurred in those who weren't double vaccinated at the time of infection. There is the risk of a "triple lethal combination" of Flu, RSV and Covid 19 working together to overwhelm an already outstretched health service. The Covid 19 causing virus may also experience a natural "selection pressure" when it will need to compete with the other winter prevalent respiratory viruses and this may also force a new mutation. What could the general public do to minimise their risks? The unidimensional approach of either focusing on any one intervention such as testing, lockdowns or mass vaccinations are bound to fail and a multidimensional approach will need to be adapted to keep ourselves safe and to safeguard the NHS. This means utilising any and all of the above options should they be deemed necessary along with basic pillars of managing respiratory infections such as face masks, social distancing, hand hygiene, good ventilation etc. This will safeguard us from both Covid 19 and Flu/ RSV infections common in the winter season. Additionally, it is important for those who are vulnerable to self assess their risk and exercise greater caution. By exercising the above precautions the population could safeguard themselves and others dear to them. It is a fallacy to assume that the governments would need to walk a tight rope between securing the economy vs managing the covid pandemic as the data from other countries already shows that for the economies to be truly secured, the covid 19 threat needs to be managed first and foremost. The Government was given guidance around managing Covid 19 in Mid July with respect to the planning for the 2nd Winter with Covid-19. We start the winter with a higher number of cases as compared to the same time last year. We hope that this guidance is heeded this time around and a more proactive approach is adopted by the policymakers. Our personal freedoms are important but when they interfere with the safety of others then it becomes a separate matter altogether and leadership needs to step in. Getting this timing right for such a government intervention will always be a difficult act to pull off for anyone in power.

BBC Wiltshire today : My thoughts on lockdown easement and the concepts of personal responsibility, personalised risk and exercising caution. Short interview lasting 3 minutes. The important thing to note here is that there is only a modest protection provided by the vaccine in acquiring an infection post vaccination but the overall protection is bolstered by subsequent significant reduction in transmission rate, development of serious illness and reducing deaths. The common sense approach would be to use other measures such as masks and personalised risk assessment of individual circumstances whilst cautiously coming out of a lockdown so as to not get infected at the first place and thus keeping the prevalence rate of the virus low. Greater spread of the virus could again lead to development of new variants some of which could be resistant / less susceptible to the vaccines. Indeed a tricky balancing act for the government.

Long covid seems to affect 14 % of those with Covid according to a recent study published in the BMJ in May 2021 . The UK by June 2021 had 4.6 million confirmed cases of covid. The reality is that British general practice hasn't seen as many cases of long covid as were expected. Patients self managing and most patients having a self resolving 12 week illness may be the causes here. But we know that covid affects the vulnerable communities disproportionately and these communities are less likely to reach out and seek help. In terms of symptoms, more than 50 sequelae post covid are defined and seem to affect almost every system of the human body.

This is my interview recorded with BBC Wiltshire on 19/5/21 at 7am GMT. Here I discuss with Ben Prater about what is known about the Indian variant and what weapons we have in our arsenal to combat it. The mental health impact of the pandemic is also explored. The clip concludes with my thoughts on how to reach the difficult to reach populations so that we have an impenetrable vaccine coverage across the UK population.

Speaking with BBC Wiltshire about the tragic case of Mr Timothy Evans who was tried and wrongly convicted of murder. He was hung for this crime in 1950 but this has since been proved a miscarriage of justice. I am taking the case up on behalf of Mr Evans’ sister, who is a local constituent, and am arranging a meeting with the Secretary of State for Justice because I am of the firm belief that Mr Evans’ family should be offered a full apology for his wrongful execution
