Farmers are being asked to conserve water as it is currently 'scarce in most of Scotland' according to SEPA, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency. It says 12 areas in the Northwest and Southern Central regions have been put on alert and businesses extracting water are being urged to put their water scarcity plans into action now to reduce pressure on the environment and preserve water resources.  When we left the EU, the government delayed introducing a new system for checking food imported from the EU, although UK exporters to the EU have faced checks since the beginning of 2021. The new UK system will be phased in from October meaning big changes for food inspection teams at our ports. More than double the amount of food and live animals are imported from the EU than the rest of the world. A 100-strong team works at Felixstowe port in Suffolk to keep the food on our plates safe to eat and we hear from some of the staff on the front line. All week we're looking at gene editing. It was promoted as a Brexit benefit and the government in England has changed the law to allow the development and marketing of gene edited crops. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland the law hasn't changed. Gene Editing is not the same as genetic modification - GE allows researchers to make a specific edit to a plant's DNA, no new genes are added as they would be in GM plants. This week we'll hear what impact the change in the English regulations is having and discuss some of the concerns that are being raised. We start off by hearing from Jim Dunwell professor of plant bio-technology at Reading University. Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

With the advent of AI and concerns over 8 million 'economically inactive' people in Britain, we thought it was high time we asked Mel Stride MP, Work and Pensions Secretary, back to the Red Lion pub for a chinwag.Hot off his heels and hot off the press was Onward think-tank Director Sebastian Payne brandishing the findings from their report "Missing Millennials", which sets out the challenge facing the Tories with younger voters.And in a week where Whatsapps from Boris Johnson are dominating the headlines again and the Partygate drama drags on, who better to hear from that Lord Cruddas of Shoreditch on the stitch-up of the former PM and Rishi Sunak's lack of mandate.

Our guest for this episode of Crisis What Crisis? is one of Britain's best-known politicians, Michael Gove. A man who has held numerous jobs in Cabinet, working under four Prime Ministers – he is of course now the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.For well over a decade, Michael has been at the heart of a series of political crises, including the forming of the Coalition in May 2010 (when we worked together), Brexit, the pandemic, and more recently the aftermath of the Liz Truss experiment.In the moments of relative calm, including four years as the Education Secretary, Michael has built a reputation as a politician who gets things done. A fierce intellect coupled with a brilliant sense of humour makes him one of politics' most engaging and effective operators.Adopted as a baby, Michael grew up in Aberdeen. Like so many other politicians, including Boris Johnson, he found professional success first as a journalist at the BBC and the Times before deciding that reporting on Westminster was not enough for him.Michael has a reputation as one of politics' most courteous individuals, but at times, often at times of crisis, he has also shown himself to put it (as he would, politely) as someone capable of ruthless decision-making.

Scotland. I do feel calmer when I get back home. It's not just seeing my mum, wherever you grew up frames you. So Aberdeen – whether it's in a nightclub, a pub or walking on the beach.2. Exercise. I do like dancing but I also like running – I'm not very fast, I'm not very good, I'm not an athlete, but any sort of exertion that takes you out of yourself… going for a run even if it's just half an hour, just helps to clear your head.3. A glass of red wine. It has to be after six o'clock in the evening, normally it's much later. And there's a particular type of Bordeaux wine – Saint-Julien.

In this episode we're discussing elections, referenda, and how to fix our democracy, with none other than our long-time podcast host, Alan Renwick. In his inaugural lecture, Alan described democracy as rule for, and by, all, and suggested that the UK's democratic system is falling short of that ideal. We discuss three suggested "fixes": electoral reform, improving citizen's access to reliable information, and the use of citizen's assemblies.One of the central commitments in Prof Alan Renwick's work is to the importance of the citizen, and our role in the democratic process. He is a leading expert on citizens assemblies, and his fourth book, Deliberative Mini-Publics examines how these can contribute to the policy process and even revitalise democracy. Most recently, Alan's research examines the public's attitudes about democracy, and democratic institutions, post Brexit.  Mentioned in this episode:Democracy in the UK after Brexit.  The Constitution Unit, UCLDeliberative Mini-Publics: Core Design Features.

With Brexit and the United Kingdom's severing of many formal connections to the European Union have come economic shocks. Trade between the two has become more complicated. Travel has become more difficult. The labor market could also take a beating because of Brexit and that's the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories with guest Kristina Sargent. Sargent is an Assistant Professor of Economics at Middlebury College. Her research is focused on macroeconomic modeling, usually in search & matching and international migration. Her current work focuses on the relationships between migration and labor markets, women's labor force participation, the gig economy, and the impacts of trade and automation on labor markets.

Jupiter and the North Node meet in the sign of Taurus for the first time since 1929!! What might that mean. The last conjunction was in Virgo in 2016, the year of Brexit and the election of Trump. 1929 brought the Great Depression. Louise does see hope that this time will be different as long as we are mindful of over-extension. The Sabian Symbol for the conjunction is: Taurus 4° The rainbow's pot of gold This is a symbol of the true incentives of an outer and physical world, and of the rewards which are guaranteed by an eternal covenant between the least of individuality and the universal matrix of life itself. There is always the promise of a treasure which at the end proves to be a gratifying complementation in physical tokens of whatever spirituality the self has brought into manifestation through its own efforts. The keyword is FAITH. When positive, the degree is an inner assurance which enables man to hold steady in every course of his choosing, and when negative, a loss of all opportunity through futile expectation and an unintelligent wandering off in the quests of pure fancy.

Sean looks at what the UK's first post-Brexit trade deal means for business. Plus, hundreds of mortgage deals are pulled as one bank warns inflation will remain higher for longer.

The first of the UK's post Brexit trade deals are coming into force from 1 June. Some farmers are concerned the deals with Australia and New Zealand will lead to the UK being flooded with cheap imported meat, but analysis say markets with Japan and China are far more important for Australian beef farmers and New Zealand isn't using up all its existing quotas for exporting lamb. We speak to the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board which has been looking at the impact of these deals on UK agriculture. For the first time the Government has given permission for the aerial spraying of weeds with pesticides by commercial drones. It's not on farms at this stage, only on railway bridges and it's been sanctioned by the Health and Safety Executive. However using drones in British Agriculture is gathering pace. Our reporter has been to watch a practical demonstration at an international conference near York. All week we're looking at a niche sector of the agricultural world - farming crops and using animal products for medical purposes. Since 2018 it's been legal to use cannabis under prescription in the UK, for certain conditions including epilepsy, and around 25,000 patients are thought to be using it. A few companies have been working through complex and demanding regulations to produce the drug for the UK market. We visit one of them - Hilltop Leaf in southern Scotland.

BREXIT - This is what Leavers voted for! (Part ) The Black Spy Podcast, Series 9, Episode 0008 Brexit was arguably the greatest instance of self-harm undertaken by a nation in the modern era that did not involve warfare. And now, the primary initial architect, Nigel Farage, complains that Brexit has been a failure.  Yes, like a snake oil salesman Farage argues he knows what would have made Brexit a success. And could easily have implemented these 'sunlight upland policies, albeit he does not state what they would have been.  However, like all the Brexit salesmen and women who have subsequently slivered away - Boris Johnson, David Frost, Michael Gove, Kate Hoey, Dominic Cummings, Gisela Stuart and Daniel Hannan - they take no responsibility for the disaster. Carlton and Firgas assess the lies told, outside of the primary massive disingenuous lie regarding the whole sail deportation of so called immigrants from the UK that Brexit would bring about. Many Brexit votes believed that Brexit would mean the deportation of Black and Brown Britons. Indeed back early 2016 Carlton argued in his YouTube podcast, that Brexit would mean more Black and Brown immigrants, as Europeans left Britain, not less.  In part one of this two part podcast, this episode explores the geo-political lies put daily to a British population who knew nothing of the EU's positive aspects and framework.

The three-day extravaganza culminated in a magnificent coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey, marking the grandest ceremonial event in Britain in 70 years. 查爾斯國王對參與他的加冕週末的所有人表示衷心的感謝，並承諾與妻子卡蜜拉一起奉獻一生。為期三天的盛會在西敏寺的加冕典禮中達到高潮，標誌著英國70年來最盛大的儀式活動。 In a statement echoing Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee message, King Charles and Camilla reaffirmed their commitment to serving the people. "As the Coronation weekend draws to a close, my wife and I wanted to extend our sincere and heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to making this occasion truly special," said King Charles. He expressed gratitude to those who made the weekend a success and commended the participants who joined in the celebrations. He added, "Your support, encouragement, and acts of kindness have been the most precious gifts, inspiring us to rededicate our lives to serving the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms, and the Commonwealth." 在一份回應伊麗莎白女王白金禧年訊息的聲明中，查爾斯國王和卡蜜拉重申了他們對服務人民的承諾。查理國王表示：“隨著加冕週末即將結束，我妻子和我想向所有為這個特殊場合作出貢獻的人致以最真摯和衷心的謝意。”他對使這個週末成事的人表示感激，並讚揚參與慶典的人。他補充說：“你們的支持、鼓勵和善行是最寶貴的禮物，激勵我們重新奉獻自己的生活來服務英國、其屬地和英聯邦的人民。” Accompanying the statement were four official photos featuring King Charles, Camilla, and members of the royal family. The festivities included a remarkable "Coronation Concert" at Windsor, where the royal couple joined a crowd of 20,000 attendees. The concert featured renowned singers Lionel Richie and Katy Perry, and an amusing comedy sketch surprised the audience as Charles and Camilla interacted with the performers. 聲明附帶了四張官方照片，展示了查爾斯國王、卡蜜拉和皇室成員。慶典包括在溫莎舉行的“加冕音樂會”，皇室夫婦與二萬名觀眾共同參加。音樂會特邀了著名歌手萊諾李奇和凱蒂佩芮，而一個有趣的喜劇小品則讓查爾斯和卡蜜拉與演出者互動，令現場觀眾驚喜萬分。 Concluding the extended weekend of street parties and celebrations, thousands of organizations came together on Monday to participate in the "The Big Help Out" volunteering program. Prince William and Kate, along with their children, visited a scout group in Slough, near Windsor, for their first official engagement with their youngest son, Louis. Under his father's supervision, the enthusiastic Louis eagerly participated in various activities. 延續了一個週末的街頭派對和慶典，數千家機構於星期一聚集在一起，參與了名為「大幫助計畫（The Big Help Out）」的志願服務活動。威廉王子和凱特夫婦與他們的孩子一起訪問了溫莎附近的斯勞童子軍團，這是他們與年幼的兒子路易的首次正式亮相。在父親的陪伴監督下，熱情洋溢的路易積極地參與了各種活動。 The coronation ceremony of King Charles III showcased a breathtaking blend of centuries-old tradition and the aspirations of a new era. The solemn two-hour service at Westminster Abbey, witnessed by an esteemed congregation of around 100 world leaders and watched by millions globally, saw King Charles receive the St Edward's Crown. Camilla, his second wife, was also crowned queen. The ceremony aimed to pay tribute to history while embracing a more diverse and forward-looking institution. 國王查爾斯三世的加冕典禮展示了幾個世紀以來的傳統與新世代抱負驚人的融合。在西敏寺隆重舉辦的兩小時儀式上，約有100位世界領袖見證，全球數百萬人觀看，查爾斯國王接受了聖愛德華王冠。卡蜜拉作為他的第二任妻子，也同時被冊封為王后。這個典禮旨在向歷史致敬，同時擁抱一個更多元和前瞻的制度。 Prime Minister Rishi Sunak lauded the extraordinary spectacle, stating, "Over the weekend, no other country in the world could have put on such a dazzling display." Supporters of the royal family emphasize their international appeal, diplomatic significance, and ability to uphold the nation's global standing amidst political uncertainties, such as the post-Brexit era. 英國首相蘇納克讚揚了這個非凡壯觀的場面，他說：“在這個週末，世界上其他任何國家都無法呈現如此耀眼的表演。”皇室的支持者強調他們的國際吸引力、外交意義以及在政治不確定性時期（如脫歐後）維護英國在全球地位的能力。 The coronation event, despite occurring amid a cost of living crisis and public skepticism, underscored the enduring role and relevance of the monarchy. King Charles, who ascended the throne upon the passing of Queen Elizabeth, acknowledged the challenges ahead. The event seamlessly intertwined historical regalia with elements reflecting the country's diversity and cultural evolution, affirming the monarchy's adaptability and continued significance. 儘管這場加冕儀式是在民生水平高漲危機和公眾懷疑的背景下舉行，它仍然彰顯了君主制的持久角色和相關性。查爾斯國王在伊麗莎白女王離世後即位，並接受他要面臨的挑戰。這個活動巧妙地將歷史傳統與反映該國多樣性和文化演進的元素融合在一起，肯定了君主制的適應性和持續的重要性。Reference article:https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/coronation-brimming-with-history-king-charles-britain-look-future-2023-05-05/ ; https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/great-treat-king-charles-heralds-weekend-coronation-celebrations-2023-05-08/ Powered by Firstory Hosting

In the week where Lesley,in her own words,"got her jotters from the Herald", we return to the controversy over HPMAs .We ask in the light of the success of the COAST charity that pioneered the no-take zone at Lamlash Bay, should this be the model for an effective,locally based approach to marine conservation.This groundbreaking video was made 10 years ago by the divers who set up the COAST charity that pioneered the no-take zone at Lamlash Bay. Watch and be amazed!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tC2IAgeJrAThe Wild Isles episode number 5 - not shown on TV featuring award winning camera operator Doug Allan, who started his diving career at Lamlash Bay - speaks at 55.54'https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0f21klc/wild-isles-series-1-5-oceanThe SNP has scheduled a one day "Independence Convention" in Dundee on the same day as the AUOB march in Stirling. Is this a sign of an opening up of party democracy in the Humza Yousaf era or simply a rebranding effort to disguise the SNP talking to itself?Meanwhile at Westminster the anti-strike,minimum service levels, bill which will force workers in areas such as health and education to go to  work or face the sack, effectively removing their right to strike, was passed in the House of Commons last night. Despite the SNP,Labour and the Lib Dems voting for an amendment to make this an England only bill all Scottish Tories toed the party line to vote this down. What does it say about the state of Conservative Britain when this legislation mirrors that in place in such bastions of democracy as Russia and Belarus?While cracking the whip of "firm government" Sunak seems incapable of keeping the far right in his party under control.More Tory MPs are deciding to step down at the next General Election and jump from the sinking ship while Braverman and her supporters are on maneuvers to stage a post-defeat leadership coup.As the feart leave the Conservative benches Stellantis – one of the world's biggest carmakers - has made it starkly clear that if there is no change in UK policy on Brexit they will pick up sticks and locate elsewhere. All this while Labour clings to  "Make Brexit Work" in another three word slogan so dominant in 2023 British political discourse.Copies of Lesley's new book,Thrive are available herehttps://lesleyriddoch.com/books/thriveAnd if you fancy hearing her talk about it and the ideas in it pop along to one of these eventshttps://lesleyriddoch.com/events-mobile ★ Support this podcast ★

Several years into Brexit, the country has not found its footing politically, economically, and in its very soul. The UK is working to rebuild relationships with Europe while dealing with renewed calls for independence from Scotland and Northern Ireland. The economy has fared better than expected, even though inflation has resulted in a deep cost-of-living crisis. Rising economic inequality and anti-immigration sentiments add to the uncertainty. The Altamar hosts are joined by Jon Sopel, former award-winning BBC journalist and television personality. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines unfavorable youth views on the monarchy and economy.    ----- Produced by Simpler Media

“Soon there will only be five kings left: the king of spades, of clubs, of hearts, of diamonds, and the king of England”. King Farouk of Egypt was off in his prediction, but the permanency of the British monarchy has recently come under heightened scrutiny. The threat of independence from Britain's constituent kingdoms, accelerated by Brexit, means that this could well be the Last King of Britain we see. Across the seas, Commonwealth members are expected to hold referenda on removing the British monarch as their head of state, something that many had only retained out of respect for the longevity of Elizabeth II. This is the challenge the latest person to sit on the Stone of Scone faces. Charles III has waited a long time to be King, but his reign could mark the end of one of Britain's most enduring institutions. The monarchy is but one of many constitutional institutions, and this week we also looked at the history of Parliament and its struggles with the Crown over the centuries, as well as the constitutional legacies of seminal figures in British history such as Oliver Cromwell. To explore this vast topic, we sat down with Sir Peter Riddell, a former journalist with the Financial Times and Times of London, and an Honorary Professor of History at University College London, where he works with the school's Constitution Unit. We also covered recent constitutional crises stemming from the premiership of Boris Johnson and whether these exposed or validated the role of a monarch. Finally, our patreons will be able to hear an extended conversation on various constitutional reforms that have been floated in recent years, including by the commission led by Gordon Brown.
