Eyewitnesses report Israeli tanks are moving in on central Rafah for the first time since the assault on the city began in early May. This comes after a deadly airstrike there that killed at least 45 people and injured more than 200, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called “a tragic error." Global condemnation was swift: France, the EU and other governments call on Israel to immediately halt all Rafah operations. Correspondent Jeremy Diamond is in Jerusalem to discuss the latest from Rafah.

Tech Policy Press editor Justin Hendrix is joined by a UK lawmaker and advocate who has been influential in the global push for more protections for children online. Baroness Beeban Kidron OBE is a Crossbench member of the House of Lords and sits on the Democracy and Digital Technologies Committee, and she's a Commissioner for UNESCO's Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development, where she is a member of the Working Group on Child Online Safety. She's the Founder and Chair of 5Rights Foundation, which seeks to ensure children and young people are afforded the right to participate in the digital world “creatively, knowledgeably and fearlessly.” 5Rights played a key role in advancing the UK Children's Code, as well as the California Age Appropriate Design Code Act, passed last year. Baroness Kidron discussed the broad trajectory of efforts to address online child safety, what she thinks about the legal challenge to the California law and some of the harsher provisions of child safety laws in other parts of the country, and where she believes the fight for child digital safety is headed in the future.
This week we watched the 1995 comedy film To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.

It stars Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, and John Leguizamo and its title refers to an iconic autographed photo of Julie Newmar that they carry with them on their journey.

This week, the UK's seminal piece of internet regulation, the Online Safety Bill, moved from the House of Commons to the House of Lords after being amended. It now includes a provision threatening tech bosses with two years in prison if they don't keep children safe online. But it no longer comprises controls on "legal but harmful" content like racism and misogyny. Technology Editor Peter O'Brien explains what this means for the internet at large, and gets reaction from Beeban Kidron, "Bridget Jones" director-turned-influential online safety activist.
In today's episode of Confluence, host Rana Sarkar and guest Baroness Beeban Kidron discuss her work as a leading global advocate for the rights of children online. They discuss her journey from her time as a photographer and filmmaker to her current position as a policymaker. Baroness Kidron shares lessons from the UK Age Appropriate Design Code, a critical piece of legislation that she has led; discusses the status of similar pieces of legislation around the world; and offers advice for policymakers to learn from each other and safeguard children from the downsides of technology.

Prepare to be amazed by Beeban Kidron, a woman who took on the tech giants and won, making urgent, life impacting changes to digital regulation and the online experiences of children and young people. As a member of the House of Lords, Beeban pushed through the world's first ever Design Code into law in the UK, radically changing how social media treats children. Beeban is also a film and documentary director, her credits including ‘Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason', the 3 time BAFTA winning adaptation of Jeanette Winterson's autobiographical novel ‘Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit and the drag queen road movie ‘To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar' starring Wesley Snipes and Patrick Swayze.For her documentary called InRealLife, Beeban spent hundreds of hours with children discovering how the internet affects their lives including meeting people, porn and bullying. It was this experience that encouraged Beeban to change her life from film maker to lawmaker in order to protect children. She is one of the most impressive people to ever be on Changes. Here she shares what she's learnt, what change looks like in the digital world and, really helpfully, shares some tips for those who want to help children navigate the internet.

When it comes to data, tech companies treat anyone 13 and over as an adult. How did this happen? Hosts Taylor Owen and Nicole Edwards explore how the internet's definition of a child goes back to a single American law passed in the 1990s. Then, we hear from Baroness Beeban Kidron, an advocate for children's digital rights and member of the UK House of Lords. She has pushed through new legislation in the UK that's forcing companies to reimagine how they engage with kids online, with ripple effects around the world. What will this mean for kids in Canada and the future of the internet?

An initiative in the U.K. that applies a statutory code of age appropriate design is drawing some hopeful attention to keeping kids safe online. Former filmmaker Beeban Kidron, now a member of the British House of Lords and founder and chair of the 5Rights Foundation, a non-profit organization working for the protection of children and youth online, joins us to discuss. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The early 1990's gave us two movies that quickly joined the queer cinema canon- "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" directed by Stephan Elliott (1994) and "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar" directed by Beeban Kidron (1995). These two movies were perhaps unfairly compared to one another as they have surface-level plot similarities. Both involve three "drag queens" (term used loosely), both involve a cross-country road trip, and both focus on intergenerational queer relationships. In reality, the two productions had no impact on one another, and have managed to stick around in our collective gay consciousness for very different reasons. Why did To Wong Foo feel the need to educate us on the definition of a drag queen? Does every car that enters the Outback break down? What have got here, a couple of show girls? Jake and Kevin are PUMPed to talk about these two fabulous movies with you this week! Our second mini-series is also underway as we begin to slog through the hairless mire that is the Eating Out series! We kick things off with a dimly-lit bang with the first film in the series this week.
The Sunday Times' tech correspondent Danny Fortson brings on Baroness Beeban Kidron to talk about the crackdown on Silicon Valley over how they treat children online (4:30), the age-appropriate design code (8:45), creating a window into the child's experience online (13:10), the regressive effect of social media on girls and young women (18:00), the fallout from Frances Haugen's whistleblowing (23:15), why she let he career as a film director (26:30), joining the House of Lords (31:30), leaving school at 15 (33:20), starting the 5 Rights Foundation (35:15), getting the Age Appropriate Design Code passed (41:00), and enforcing the code (45:40).

Baroness Beeban Kidron is an award-willing filmmaker, a Crossbench Peer in the UK House of Lords and the Founder and Chair of the 5Rights Foundation.In this eye-opening discussion, Beeban vividly describes how the seed for 5Rights was planted while getting up close and personal with teenagers navigating the physical and digital realms ‘In Real Life'. Beeban sounds a resounding alarm about why treating all humans as equal on the internet is regressive. As well as how existing business models have created a perfect societal storm, especially for children.Intertwining the voices of these underserved and underrepresented stakeholders with some shocking facts, Beeban illustrates the true impact of the current digital experiment on young people. In that vein, Kimberly and Beeban examine behaviors we implicitly condone and, in fact, promote in the digital realm that would never pass muster in so-called real life. Speaking to the brilliantly terrifying Twisted Toys campaign, Beeban shows how storytelling can make these critical yet oft sensitive topics accessible. Finally, Beeban speaks about critical breakthroughs such as the Age-Appropriate Design Code, positive action being taken by digital platforms in response and the long road still ahead.A transcript of this episode can be found here.Our next episode features Giselle Mota.

Baroness Beeban Kidron joins Nate to discuss children's rights in our digital world, and why we need new rules to protect them. Kidron has been a member of the British House of Lords since 2012. Previously an award-winning filmmaker, her last documentary film InRealLife ultimately led her to become an advocate for children's rights online, which she continues both as a parliamentarian and in her role as Chair of the 5Rights Foundation.Here in Canada, Bill C-11 will strengthen our federal privacy framework, and we expect a new bill to be tabled in the coming months to strengthen online safety and better address online harms. At the same time, our proposed privacy reform does not include any specific reference to children's rights, so changes will likely be needed and this conversation is a timely one.
The Directors UK Podcast is back! This episode comes from our last event of 2020, where we were thrilled to host the Golden Globe-nominated director Regina King in conversation about her debut film, One Night in Miami. Together with Beeban Kidron, Regina discussed nailing the film’s visual tone, bringing her insights as an actor into directing, and finding the perfect cast.

In this episode of Big Tech, Taylor Owen speaks with Baroness Beeban Kidron, OBE, across-bench member of the British House of Lords, a filmmaker and the chair of 5Rights Foundation. Kidron is a strong advocate for children’s online rights. She is a member of the UK government’s Democracy and Digital Technologies Committee working to implement the Age Appropriate Design Code, which explains how the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies in the context of children using digital services and sets 15 flexible standards to ensure that children’s best interests are the primary consideration when designing and developing these services. While the internet is still a relatively new technology, it has rapidly come to play a major role in children’s education, entertainment and play. There is now a generation of children who are growing up with online services that only launched a decade or so ago. Children are using platforms such as YouTube, Instagram and TikTok never designed for their age group, with unintended risks and consequences. “We must stop talking about the services that are directed at children, because children spend most of their time in services that are not directed at them… . when you have your discussions about facial recognition, about biometric data, about misinformation, disinformation, all of these things are affecting children. And yet every piece of policy is about YouTube Kids,” explains Kidron. She advocates for the whole of technology to consider younger users when designing and building digital services. But online platforms are failing to meet even minimum standards of protection, which is why Kidron is working on a regulatory approach. “History is littered with things that were not possible until they were mandated. And I am sufficiently old enough to remember when two-factor authentication was going to bring the internet down. And it didn’t. And I’m definitely old enough to remember when GDPR was going to bring the internet down. And I’m not saying all these things are perfect, they are desperately imperfect, but it is amazing how when things are mandated, they are also made possible.”
Just a week after Hugh celebrated his 60th birthday, Diggory and Oscar are back for another episode of Taking Hugh for Granted! And there's no better place to jump back into Hugh's filmography than Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason aka Bridget Jones 2 (Beeban Kidron, 2004). In this the sequel to Bridget Jones's Diary, the film picks up just four weeks after the end of the first movie, and already Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) is becoming insecure in her relationship with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). Bridget, now working as a TV host, is jealous of the time Mark Darcy spends with a co-worker (Jacinda Barrett), and, despite a vacation meant to smooth things over, ends their relationship. While on assignment in Thailand, temptation comes in the form of her disreputable ex, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant), which lands Bridget temporarily in jail on the false accusation of drug smuggling, before Mark comes to the rescue...

In this safeguarding podcast with Baroness Beeban Kidron of 5Rights, we discuss the rights of children online. What are the moral and legal obligations of businesses as far as children are concerned? How can large scale digital service providers encapsulate children's rights as defined by the UN CRC into their services? What are Age Appropriate Digital Services? Is "privacy" absolute and is that all that's needed for safety, and is Section230 the root of all evil?

Who was second choice for the title character if Newmar didn’t give them the rights to her name? And which potential Vida did screenwriter Douglas Carter Beane think looked like the Joker’s sister in drag? Also – we give our picks for which contestants from Rupaul’s Drag Race we’d love to have seen star, and Stephen Baldwin tries to draft Amy Jo into his religion, which may or may not revolve around the movie Bio-Dome.

The unintended consequences of today's digital world
The unintended consequences of today’s digital world
Sarah's guest this week is the film director, Beeban Kidron
Director Beeban Kidron talks about how stills photography inspired her to become a director.
Beeban Kidron is a rare and very unpredictable film-maker. A woman in a man's world, she's made highly successful dramas such as the BAFTA-winning Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, and the blockbusting rom-com Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. But she also makes documentaries which come straight from her heart: films about sex workers in New York, the women of Greenham Common, the sculptor Antony Gormley, and a highly-acclaimed film about girls sold into religious prostitution in India. And her latest film In Real Life is a documentary about teenagers and the internet. She talks to Michael Berkeley about the power of music in films, the pleasures of building relationships with composers, the joy of telling stories, and the sheer determination needed to make the films she feels so passionately about. Her choices include music from her film Swept from the Sea and her BAFTA-winning television series Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit; the music of her childhood; the piece which changed her ideas about love; and the scariest film music ever written. Producer: Jane Greenwood. A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3.
On Start the Week Stephanie Flanders considers the impact of new technology on 'digital natives', a generation who have never known life without facebook and smartphones. Beeban Kidron's new film explores the lives of teenagers and the corporations that influence and manipulate their online lives for profit. The entrepreneur Jamal Edwards started filming his friends rapping when he was just 15, he's used the web to become a multi-million pound CEO. The academic Farida Vis researches the invisible algorithms that pervade the internet. And Adrian Hon attempts to predict the future - both human and technological - using the objects around us. Producer: Katy Hickman.
Historian Simon Schama joins Philip Dodd to discuss his book and TV series The Story of the Jews. Stephen Hopgood and Clive Stafford Smith debate the pros and cons of the human rights industry, and whether it has shifted to serve Western interests. Director Beeban Kidron on her documentary InRealLife, which explores the impact of the internet on children and young people.
The 2012 Cannes Film Festival was criticised when all 22 films in the competition were directed by men. But Hollywood is not much better - a recent study found that less than 10 per cent of its directors were women.So why are there so few women film-makers? Sarah Montague puts that question to Beeban Kidron, one of the few women to have made the big time. She is perhaps best-known for directing the second Bridget Jones movie, The Edge of Reason. But most of her other films concern far more radical material: a documentary about the anti-nuclear women protesters at Greenham Common, a TV adaptation of the lesbian novel Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. Her latest documentary is about India's sacred prostitutes. Is it women and the choices they make that interests her most?(Image: Beeban Kidron in 2005. Credit: Ian West / PA Wire)
