Recommendations: Catriona Swiped - CH4 Emma and Matt Willis challenge a group of Year 8 pupils at the Stanway School in Colchester to give up their smartphones completely for 21 days Angela Irresistible -BBC2 Why are ultra-processed foods so irresistible, and how they have come to dominate food culture? This documentary by medical doctor and academic Dr Chris van Tulleken features interviews with former food industry insiders who talk openly about the way in which popular foods have been designed to be irresistible. Food companies go to extraordinary lengths to ensure their products connect with consumers - from using brain scans to assess the deliciousness of ice cream to carefully engineering the sound of a crunch. Ultra-processed foods are hyper-delicious and super-convenient, have long shelf lives and are extremely cheap. But a growing body of evidence is linking these products to our declining health. David A Quiet Evening: The Travels of Norman Lewis Collected here, from a period of nearly five decades, are thirty-six of Norman Lewis's best articles. In each, his writing crackles with poker-faced wit and stylistic brilliance. As a witness to his times – the good, the bad and the absurd – he was unmatched, and his instinct for important events, and moments, was infallible. His range here includes Ibizan fishermen, an interview with Castro's executioner, the genocide of the South American Indian tribes, a paean to Seville and his meeting with a tragic Ernest Hemingway. That meeting was ‘a shattering experience,' Norman wrote to Ian Fleming who had commissioned him, ‘of the kind likely to sabotage ambition.'Fortunately it didn't, and the articles assembled between these covers are compulsive, hilarious, tender and beautifully written, at times deeply upsetting, and always unforgettable. The Golden Road: How Ancient India Transformed the World  With a mind-boggling mastery of sources, Dalrymple weaves a thrilling tale of India's cultural hegemony, not forgetting its invention of mathematics and related disciplines still in use today - Andrew Lycett, Spectator Eamonn Comfort and Joy Alan Bird (Bill Paterson, Outlander, Dad's Army) thinks he has life pretty well organised. Glasgow's top DJ, with a nice apartment, and the only red BMW Cabriolet north of Manchester, he has little to worry about until his kleptomaniac girlfriend Maddy ditches him just before Christmas.

Canterbury city centre has been closed off after a fire broke out at an abandoned former department store. Firefighters have been working through the night at the site of the old Debenhams – one person has been treated for smoke inhalation. Also in today's podcast, you can hear from a man who was fined for driving on a street where traffic is banned during term time even though the school was on holiday.He says he drove down the road in Chatham when the school was on half-term break and was shocked when he received the fine in the post. Two secondary schools could be closed by the government and reopened under new bosses after damning Ofsted inspections pushed them both into special measures.The sites were rated inadequate and have now been issued “termination warning notices”.Plans to turn an abandoned nightclub into flats have been scrapped as developers claim the housing market “isn't particularly strong”.Bosses in Ashford had given the green light for the transformation of the old Liquid site into housing, but it's been confirmed that's no longer happening. And a work is well underway to transform a former Kent gaol into a bustling cafe. It's all part of the £10.5 million renovation of Dover's Maison Dieu – you can hear from one of the coordinators about what it will all look like when it's finished. 

The creation of a green oasis in the heart of the city on the site of two former Coventry University buildings has been recognised with two major sustainability awards. The Green Gown Award, in the category of Nature Positive, and the Green Flag Award for Best Climate Adaption, were both won earlier this month. Coventry University demolished the Alan Berry and James Starley buildings to make way for the Peace Garden opposite Coventry Cathedral and Starley Gardens on Cox Street, transforming the spine of the campus into a green space for people and wildlife to co-exist. The Green Flag prize is considered a 'best of the best' accolade as only projects to have won prestigious Green Flag Awards earlier in the year are open for consideration. It not only recognises the creation of a vibrant green space but also its impact in the fight against climate change. The Green Gown Awards recognise exceptional sustainability initiatives being undertaken by universities and colleges across the UK and Ireland. Jamie Whitehouse, Grounds and Public Realm Manager at Coventry University said, "These are major awards for the university, as they demonstrate our commitment to creating a sustainable campus that transforms the grey to the green, which is welcoming to people and wildlife. "The awards recognise the hard work of the university Grounds team and the wider Estates team in creating an exciting, relaxing, and stimulating external environment in which to live, study or work." The gardens include wildflower meadows, biodiverse-friendly planting, tree planting, informal social spaces, and a prominent sculpture by local artist George Wagstaffe. The new greenspace on the former Alan Berry site provides new stunning views of the iconic Coventry Cathedral and interconnects from either side to an edible garden, which is open to all to harvest the fruit and vegetables, as well as providing nesting and food for pollinators such as bees, flies, and butterflies. Overall, it contributes to the university's vision to create pollinator hubs and corridors. The Environmental and Grounds Team works in collaboration with academic departments, such as the Centre of Agroecology, Water and Resilience (CAWR), and Warwickshire Wildlife Trust to deliver events like bee walks and hedgehog talks for the campus community. Professor John Latham, CBE, Vice-Chancellor of Coventry University Group, said: "Winning these awards is a major achievement for the Group and a validation of our commitment to building a greener, more sustainable campus. "It underpins our ongoing dedication to working with local and global collaborators to tackle global sustainability challenges, address climate change, and create better futures for our communities." Coventry University is working hard to become net zero by 2030, a target being supported by a grant of almost £13million from the Department for Energy Security's Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme. The environmental benefits of this transformation are far-reaching: Reduced carbon emissions - the demolition of the buildings has eliminated significant energy consumption and associated carbon emissions. Improved air quality - the new green spaces and gardens help to absorb pollutants and improve air quality. Reduced urban heat island effect - the green spaces and gardens help to cool the surrounding area of the university Enhanced biodiversity - the project has created new habitats for wildlife and increased biodiversity. Sustainable drainage - the green spaces help to manage rainwater runoff and reduce the risk of flooding. The project has won several other awards, including the DEFRA Bees' Needs Champions Award 2023 and Bronze and Silver Hedgehog Friendly Campus Awards, and has played host to several events for Warwickshire Wildlife Trust. The money will help towards the cost of installing around 1,300 new solar panels and connecting nine Coventry University buildings to the city's district energy network.

In his first official day in the job the new Police commissioner has delivered an early Christmas present to Auckland businesses and residents; anouncing the city centre's getting a new police base, almost a decade after the last one closed. A number of businesses and residents have been campaigning for a bricks and mortar presence in the central city saying violent and anti-social behaviour is major issue. In July, police increased the number of officers carrying out foot patrols in the area - adding another 21 officers. The previous station on Fort Street closed down in 2013 and the police headquarter moved to Freeman's Bay in 2019. Police Minister Mark Mitchell, previously told RNZ there was no budget for it, he spoke to Lisa Owen.

The new top cop says Aucklanders will be feeling better about a police station in the city's centre. Police plan to have the new Federal Street base open to the public by the middle of next year. It will sit close to Aotea Square and the new CRL station, making it easier to deploy officers right across the central city. Police Commissioner Richard Chambers told Mike Hosking that soon we'll have 51 beats working 24/7 around the community, increasing visibility and safety. He says it's back to basics policing, with officers walking the beat and getting to know the people around town. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A young cop in England realises whilst chasing a suspect with a rifle that his life will never be the same again. It lead to infiltrating football hooligans as a 17-stone skinhead.  Garry Rogers QPM is a former undercover operative who served 30 years with the Greater Manchester Police.  Garry played a key role in one of the UK's most successful undercover policing operations, targeting the football hooliganism that blighted the domestic and international game. The undercover operation was so successful, that the GMP extended the operation to target serious and violent crime, and it was Garry who gained the trust of armed robbers, drug dealers, and a murderer.  If this content affected you, the number for Lifeline is 13 11 14. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
