Cette règle, vous le savez, est souvent associée aux scènes de naufrages maritimes, où elle est censée guider l'évacuation des passagers en donnant la priorité aux personnes perçues comme les plus vulnérables. Mais d'où vient vraiment cette règle ? Est-elle une tradition ancienne, une norme sociale… ou un mythe romantisé par la littérature et le cinéma ?Une origine bien précise : le naufrage du HMS Birkenhead (1852)La formule prend racine dans un événement réel : le naufrage du HMS Birkenhead, un navire militaire britannique, survenu le 26 février 1852 au large des côtes d'Afrique du Sud.Le navire transportait environ 640 personnes, dont des soldats et quelques femmes et enfants. Lorsqu'il heurta un rocher, les embarcations de sauvetage étaient en nombre insuffisant. Le commandant donna alors l'ordre de faire embarquer en priorité les femmes et les enfants, pendant que les soldats restaient au garde-à-vous sur le pont, sans paniquer.Grâce à cette discipline exceptionnelle, toutes les femmes et les enfants survécurent, tandis que près de 450 hommes périrent. Ce sacrifice héroïque inspira l'expression « the Birkenhead drill », qui désignait cette conduite de calme et de discipline face à la mort.Une règle sociale… plus qu'une loiContrairement à ce que l'on pourrait croire, il n'existe aucune loi maritime internationale imposant « femmes et enfants d'abord ». Il s'agit plutôt d'une norme morale et culturelle, valorisée par l'imaginaire victorien puis par la littérature et le cinéma, comme dans Titanic.Cependant, son application a été très inégale dans l'histoire. Par exemple :Lors du naufrage du Titanic en 1912, le capitaine ordonna effectivement de donner la priorité aux femmes et aux enfants. Résultat : 74 % des femmes mais seulement 20 % des hommes survécurent.À l'inverse, lors du naufrage du Lusitania en 1915, dans un contexte de panique totale, aucune règle de priorité ne fut respectée.Une construction culturelleCette règle renvoie à des valeurs paternalistes héritées du XIXe siècle : les femmes sont vues comme fragiles, les enfants comme innocents, et les hommes comme protecteurs. Elle a été largement romancée et idéalisée, surtout dans les récits anglophones. En réalité, lors de nombreuses catastrophes, c'est souvent l'instinct de survie qui domine, et la priorité aux plus vulnérables dépend davantage du capitaine, du contexte et du chaos que d'une règle universelle.En somme, « femmes et enfants d'abord » est une belle idée, parfois appliquée, parfois trahie, mais toujours chargée d'un poids symbolique fort, reflet des normes d'une époque… et des histoires qu'on aime se raconter face au drame.

Deze week - alweer - groot nieuws in een oude zaak. Want Peter Sullivan, het Beest van Birkenhead, werd vrijgelaten nadat DNA onderzoek bewees dat hij niet de dader was van de moord op Diane Sindall, 39 jaar geleden. Op 1 augustus 1986, rond een uur of 12, rijdt Diane Sindall van haar bijbaan in een café in Bebington naar huis in Birckenhead. Diane klust af en toe bij als barvrouw, maar eigenlijk is ze bloemist. Diane stap in haar auto,  iedereen kent deze felblauwe bus en iedereen mag Diane graag. Ze moet morgen werken, dus ze heeft een beetje haast om naar huis te komen. Ze trapt het gas in en de blauwe bus begint te sputteren. 'O nee o nee o nee,' roept Diane. Kolere ding, mompelt ze. Ze had er vanavond benzine in moeten gooien. Maar ja, benizine is duur en Diane is aan het sparen. Zij en haar verloofde David hopen volgend jaar eindelijk te trouwen en elke cent telt. Dat is ook waarom ze naast haar voltijdsbaan als bloemist nog drie avonden per week bijklust als barvrouw. elke cent die ze verdient brengt haar dichter bij haar toekomst met haar David. De blauwe bestelbus sputtert nog wat en stopt dan.  Diane zucht. Ze moet ergens benzine vandaan halen. Ze stapt uit en begint te lopen. Ergens onderweg wordt Diane gegrepen door een monsterlijk type dat haar toetakelt en vermoordt. Al snel zal de politie een man oppakken voor deze gruwelijke moord, ene Peter Sullivan. En deze week bleek dat Peter het niet had gedaan.  Hoe kon dit onderzoek zo mis lopen dat een onschuldige man 39 jaar achter de tralies zat terwijl de echte dader vrij rondliep? En als het Peter niet was, wie vermoordde Diane dan wel?   Wil je deze podcast steunen? Nou dat kan! Koop mijn nieuwe boek

In 1920, in the Cammell, Laird & Co. shipyard in Birkenhead, a ship was built that would change the shipbuilding industry and shipyards forever. ss Fullagar was the world's first fully welded ocean-going ship. For generations, ships' iron and steel hulls had been held together with rivets, put in place by specialist teams of riveters. In 1920 electric arc-welding was not a new technology but hitherto had only been used for repair, rather than construction. Fullagar changed that forever, though the technology was adopted slowly. No longer would vast teams of highly skilled and well-paid riveters populate the dockyards. This was a moment when technology took away the livelihood of thousands and changed forever the techniques of shipbuilding and the culture of the shipyards. To find out more Dr Sam Willis spoke with Max Wilson, head archivist of Lloyd's Register, the maritime classification society that surveyed and classed Fuallager, overseeing this novel design and pivotal moment in maritime history.

Russell Edwards is the author of "Naming Jack the Ripper". Edwards, originally from Birkenhead, has after years of dedicated research produced what he calls "the definitive evidence to prove the identity of the world's most famous murderer: Jack the Ripper" thanks to modern DNA testing. Through this we will look into the names of suspects and how Russell used modern DNA testing to conclude the real Killers name. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/out-of-the-blank/support

This week: welcome to Planet Elon. We knew that he would likely be a big part of Donald Trump's second term, so it was unsurprising when this week Elon Musk was named – alongside entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy – as a co-leader of the new US Department of Government Efficiency, which will look at federal government waste. When Musk took over Twitter, he fired swathes of employees whose work was actively harming the company, so he's in a perfect position to turn his sights on the bloated federal government. It is, writes Douglas Murray, a once-in-a-generation opportunity to strip a whole layer of rot from the body politic. But can he translate his success in the private sector to the public sector? James Ball, political editor of The New European, and Bridget Phetasy, Spectator World contributing editor, joined the podcast to discuss. (02:17) Then: what's next for the Church of England? The nature of Justin Welby's resignation as Archbishop of Canterbury has no historic precedent in the C of E, writes William Moore, of this parish. One certainty is that the Church leadership will now be under enormous pressure to create a new independent body for safeguarding, but who could be next? The Smyth scandal means that appointing a conservative evangelical would be difficult, but appointing an out-and-out progressive would have its own problems. Whoever eventually succeeds Welby, he or she will inherit a Church more at war with itself than at any time in living memory. Joining the podcast is Rev Julie Conalty, the Bishop of Birkenhead and deputy lead bishop for safeguarding. (20:58) And finally: can you tell your Claret from your Beaujolais? In the magazine this week, drinks writer Henry Jeffreys discusses Beaujolais Day, the festivities started in the famous French appellation d'origine contrôlée that celebrate the first wine of the season. He joined us to discuss everything Beaujolais with Johnny Ray, The Spectator's wine critic. (35:39) Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Episode 190 is about the ocean, and a staggering event. The sinking of the HMS Birkenhead off Gansbaai, south of Cape Town - and event which led to the famous phrase women and children first in maritime lore. All of course also linked to the fierce 8th Frontier War of South Africa because there were hundreds of troops on board this ship when it went down - it is believed 445 drowned or were killed by sharks. The chronicle of what happened is riveting. The terrifying ordeal for the survivors of this ship became part of the mid-nineteenth century Victorian consciousness. The sinking of the Birkenhead also remains one of the greatest maritime disasters off South Africa's coast. But the fact that every one of the women and children aboard survived the wreck owing to the gallantry and discipline of the men on board has been immortalised in maritime lore. The soldiers of the British Army regiments, and the sailors and marines under Captain Robert Salmond, jeopardised their own chances of survival by putting the 'women and children first'. It stems from the ongoing 8th Frontier War I've been covering now for a couple of episodes. The British fighting the amaxhosa were in need of reinforcements, particularly the 74th highland Regiment which had already borne the brunt of the fighting along the Amatola ridges and valleys. Mount Misery had caused hundreds of casualties. In many ways, The Birkenhead was also a symbol of the age of innovation, she was one of the first iron-hulled ships ever built for the Royal Navy and was converted into a troop ship. As she was being laid down the Navy switched it's main propulsion to propellor from paddle wheels, so the vessel ended up converted from frigate to troop carrier. The Birkenhead was among the early attempts to marry sail and steam and rigged as a brigantine with two masts, a third being added later. She was powered by two 564 horsepower steam engines from Forrester & Co that drove a pair the 6-metre paddle wheels. . As part of her conversion to a troopship in 1851, a forecastle and poop deck were added to increase her accommodation, and a third mast was added, to change her sail plan to a barquentine. Although she never served as a warship, she was faster and more comfortable than any of the wooden sail-driven troopships of the time, making the trip from the Cape in 37 days in October 1850. However, it was a journey HMS Birkenhead would make for the last time in January 1852. Under command of Captain Robert Salmond, it steamed to Portsmith in the first week of January to pick up troops from ten different regiments, including the 2nd and the 74th. On the 5th January she sailed across the Irish Sea to Queenstown and picked up officers wives and children. All told there were 479 soldiers on board and more than 50 women and children, as well as a crew of 125. That was a total of 693 people stuffed into an iron hull less than 64 metres long and just over eleven metres wide - about the width of a tennis court. Even though she was thought of as well built, the early iron used in shipbuilding was quite brittle and tore easily compared to iron of later ships. Upon arrival at Simons Bay, most of the civilians disembarked, leaving only seven women and 13 children on board. Fuel, food and nine horses and forage were loaded along with more passengers, then HMS Birkenhead set sail again at 18h00 on the 25th February, heading for Algoa Bay and East London. Captain Salmond made a few hasty calculations and sailed close to the the coast heading south east towards Cape Agulhas. Time was of the essence, but two factors transpired against the ship. One was the compasses were registering small errors making navigation tricky, and the other was a strong south-east current was sweeping into Walker Bay and carrying the ship closer to shore than the crew realised. The were heading towards Danger Point, and the rocks.

Wayne Brown's idea is a causeway or series of bridges, from Meola Reef in the central city suburb of Point Chevalier and to Kauri Point in the Northsotre suburb of Birkenhead. Labour's plan for a second harbour crossing that included rail and road tunnels was estimated to cost more than 55 billion dollars. The Government's focus is on an additional crossing for vehicles. Auckland mayor Wayne Brown spoke to Lisa Owen.

Angela Roth was born in Birkenhead, UK, and grew up as part of a busy, happy family of 8 children. Secondary school, however, robbed her of the natural self-confidence being part of a loving family had encouraged. Being singled out by a particularly vindictive bully from day 1 of attending her new school, left Angela vulnerable and insecure, and she had no idea who to turn to for help. Angela started her working career as a Police Officer in Greater Manchester, much to the surprise - or even amazement - of her family and friends who hadn't anticipated such a choice for her. at all! Whilst she developed some very positive relationships with some of the other officers, sadly Angela also experienced a different kind of bullying here, along with the sexual harassment that was endemic in the Police Force at that time. But during that time, Angela's empathy and concern grew, for those who faced struggles in life, sometimes from the moment they were born, and for those whose lives had been turned upside down, often through no fault of their own. She found herself supporting and comforting those whose loved ones had tragically been taken; those who had faced trauma of all kinds, and those who were simply lost in the middle of a broken world. When marriage and children took her down a different path, she knew that she was called to serve others through her own personal struggles with tragedy, as well as those she had encountered through her work. In January 2022, Angela founded Succeed From The Start, determined to help and support others with a call on their lives, to forge their own path to successfully building the business of their dreams, out of a firm belief that, 'Together, We're Stronger' !

Today's guest speaks of horrific emotional bullying at school as a teenager. She struggled to make friends after she was accepted to a selective school, and her self-esteem suffered. Her parents had sacrificed to get her into the school, so Angela didn't feel she could complain to them. Instead, she felt guilty for having attracted the abuse. This is all too common for children who are bullied - the feeling that something must be wrong with them. Angela tells me how this impacted her through her adult life, and how she eventually turned around her view of herself. She now helps others who are dealing with the effects of bullying, be that at school or in the workplace. Who is Angela Roth?Angela journey from being badly bullied in school to becoming a leading figure in the heart-centered coaching industry is a testament to her resilience and commitment to helping others. Growing up in Birkenhead as one of eight children, Angela faced significant challenges but emerged with a determination to make a positive impact in the world.Despite enduring bullying throughout her school years, Angela developed a strong sense of empathy and a desire to protect and assist those who were vulnerable. This early experience shaped her character and set her on a path of service and leadership.After pursuing a degree in mathematics, economics, and business at the University of Manchester, Angela joined the police force, driven by her desire to serve the community. Despite facing obstacles such as sexual harassment and corruption within the force, Angela remained steadfast in her commitment to making a difference.

Episode 172: Simple Minds – New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84) (1982) - Part 4 In the Northern Hemisphere, it's now officially summertime, and it's also time for Brian and Sarah to wrap up their discussion of the 1982 album from Simple Minds, New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84).  Our hosts find themselves with three more songs on the album to cover, one of which is a single with a video, so there's no shortage of things to talk about with that song. But even the last two tracks on the album generate a lot of discussion from Brian and Sarah.  During the course of the song discussion, a wide variety of topics are brought up, such as: the first Earl of Birkenhead; the perfect setting to kill Green Lantern; the answer to the question “can being completely covered in gold paint kill a person?”; the world's worst museum; a cassette-zine; and the Camp David Peace Accords of 1978. After Brian and Sarah finish discussing the album tracks, it's time for the Extra Credit section. The featured topic is Jim Kerr's side project from 2010: Lostboy! AKA Jim Kerr. Then, to further delay the long-awaited final reviews and ratings of the album, there's a special and exciting announcement from Sarah! Finally, the time comes for Brian and Sarah to deliver their thoughts on the album and their record-adapter ratings. How will this 1982 album—which many consider to be Simple Minds' best work—rank in the eyes of our hosts? All is revealed at the end!

This episode of the podcast is a bit different... Instead of our usual, reverent look back at examples of the best in record sleeve creativity, we dig into its darkest and often unexplored corners of obscurity to expose some of the worst, or at best, most bizarre record sleeves ever created. This collection of more than 500 of 'the worst record sleeves' is part of a touring exhibition of the same name, which I visited a couple of times when it was on display in Birkenhead, Wirral, from November 2023 to January 2024. Whilst there, I spoke with the curator of the collection, Steve Goldman, along with Simon Robinson, the man behind a supporting book that showcases and expands upon the works on display.

D-M and Nat giddily skip through a 1-1 draw away at Liverpool, an excellent point that leaves us sitting pretty in 11th, one ahead of a hapless West Ham United. Amalie Thestrup's insouciant heeled goal - her fifth of the season - enabled City Women to take a share of the spoils in Birkenhead. This was a solid performance from the whole team, with Syme and Mustaki stepping in with great distinction, and Mari Ward showing promising menace off the bench. What does Lauren Smith have up her sleeve for when the transfer window opens? Only time will tell, but all we want for Xmas is Rachel Rowe. COYR! Vixens ‘Til We Die! COYR!

Have you heard of the Auckland Curry Movement? They're a shadowy cabal of curry connoisseurs with zero online presence... Except every year they give out their "Best Indian Restaurant award" - along with one, short accompanying article. This years award went to "Taste Of India" in Mt Eden. We called the winning restaurant - they didn't know who was behind the curry movement. We called last years winner - same story. But the 2020 champion, Birkenhead's "The Curry Master" gave us a number. A number that was engraved on the bottom of the trophy... Disappointingly it wasn't the number for the curry movement, but for the trophy maker. But someone had to have ordered the trophy.... And it turns out that person was Adrian.

Michael Connelly is one of several authors suing the tech company OpenAI for "theft" of his work. Nicola Solomon, outgoing Society of Authors CEO, and Sean Michaels, one of the first novelists to use AI, discuss the challenges and opportunities facing writers on the cusp of a new technological era.What makes a great piece of terrible album artwork? The Williamson Gallery & Museum in Birkenhead is currently displaying nearly 500 albums which have been collected over a seven year period by Steve Goldman from record fairs and online market places as part of their ‘Worst Record Covers' exhibition. Samira is joined by the exhibition curator Niall Hodson and the writer, journalist and author of “The Sound of Being Human” Jude Rogers.The most famous event in Los Angeles in 1852 was a horse race. Fortunes were won and lost on Pio Pico's horse Sarco and Jose Sepulveda's Black Swan. Widespread press reports included the horses' names and the names of their owners - but not the name of the black jockey who won. Apart from his colour, we know nothing about him. Fred D'Aguiar talks to Samira Ahmed about his latest collection of poems, 'For the Unnamed', in which he recovers and re-imagines the story, giving the black jockey the presence today he was denied in his lifetime.

'A kick in the guts' is how an Aucklander waiting for a buyout for her flood damaged home is describing the council taking back five percent as an administration fee. Auckland Council will start to confirm category three properties by the end of the month and offer 95 percent of the pre-storm value of an insured property. Aleysha Knowles' Birkenhead home was completely flooded in January and remains yellow-stickered and unliveable. She says the pay out would leave her $200,000 out of pocket. Knowles spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Auckland Transport has opened the shed for a look at the electric ferries it's having built. Just last week AT announced the end of several inner city routes, because operator Fullers360 says it doesn't have the crew to staff them. From the first of October, Fullers will no longer operate the Birkenhead, Te Onewa Northcote Point, and Bayswater routes. AT is scrambling now to find a new operator. In the meantime it hopes its new boats will bring a sea change for ferry commuters. Reporter Finn Blackwell and camera operator Marika Khabazi have this story.

The relationship between Auckland Transport and the ferry operator Fullers has hit very choppy waters over the cancellation of multiple Auckland commuter services. From October Fullers 360 will not longer run the Birkenhead, Te Onewa Northcote Point, and Bayswater services, leaving AT scrambling to find a replacement operator. And there also be significant cuts to the timetable on the Gulf Harbour and Half Moon Bay routes. Auckland Transport says Fullers has quit the routes so it can accelerate its training programme with the company short of 12 crews. But Fullers CEO Mike Horne insists AT has known for months that this was coming.

Thirty-two teams, 64 games, tens of thousands of fans filling stadiums, two billion tuning in on television - the FIFA Women's Football World Cup is going to be massive.

Mass cancellations of ferries in Auckland prompted the Transport Minister to call a crisis meeting late last week. And over the weekend crew shortages saw services to Half Moon Bay, Birkenhead, Bayswater and Te Onewa Northcote Point canned. Fullers360 is cancelling at least 30 percent of its trips a week due to staff shortages. The ongoing disruptions saw the Transport Minister, who is also the Immigration Minister bring together Auckland Transport, Waka Kotahi and Fullers360 to nut out a solution. Fullers360 chief executive Mike Horne says the Minister's now agreed to change immigration settings.

Auckland's weekend ferry services are virtually sunk, with multiple cancellations and timetable disruptions. Operators Fullers360 says due to crew shortages all Half Moon Bay and inner harbour loop services including Birkenhead, Bayswater and Te Onewa Northcote point are not running on Saturday and Sunday. Instead there will be bus, uber and taxi replacements. They're also warning of possible delays to Waiheke, Hobsonville Point and Devonport services. Auckland councillor on the North Shore Richard Hills talks to Lisa Owen.

When Amber Clyde started skateboarding as a 10 year old in Birkenhead, she was the only girl at the skate park. She struggled with confidence, was shy and scared to get involved, and with no classes available to learn how to skate, she quickly drifted away. Amber picked up skateboarding again at age 20 after the birth of her first daughter, and this time she wanted to take her love for skateboarding to a new level, so she started teaching young girls. She started running weekend classes for a gold coin donation, and they became so popular she expanded. Amber and her coaches at Girlskate, now teach hundreds of girls each week, runs workshops in schools and has funding from Auckland Council and Sport NZ. She's the subject of a new documentary released today - called Back on the Board.

Actor and former MP Glenda Jackson reveals the influences and experiences that inspired her work on stage and screen. One of the greatest actors of her generation, Glenda won Academy Awards for Women in Love and A Touch Of Class, and was Oscar nominated for Sunday Bloody Sunday. She has also won Tony, Emmy and Golden Globes awards for her theatre and television work. In 1992 she gave up acting to become a Labour MP, winning her seat five times. But in 2016 she returned to the stage, playing King Lear in London and New York, and to television for a BAFTA winning performance as an elderly women with dementia in Elizabeth Is Missing. Glenda Jackson recalls her working class upbringing in Birkenhead, and how she won a scholarship to the drama school RADA with help from the manager of the Boots chemists' where she worked at the time. She chooses the director Peter Brook as a major influence on her work, having starred in his radical 1964 stage production of the play Marat/Sade, and the version he subsequently adapted for cinema. She remembers also working closely with the director Ken Russell on several films, including the Oscar-winning Women in Love, adapted from the DH Lawrence novel. Glenda's comic appearances on the Morecambe and Wise Show in the early 1970s are recalled as career highlights. Glenda Jackson also chooses Margaret Thatcher as huge influence on her life and career, as it was the policies of the former Prime Minister which prompted her to give up acting for 23 years while she served as a Labour MP. Producer: Edwina Pitman
