Scotland Yard launched a full-scale manhunt. But after four years of panic and a $170,000 investigation, authorities came to a shocking conclusion.

There's a mystery of violence swirling in and amongst the kids these days. Especially boys. What could it be? Snapchat? Video games? Andrew Tate? A hit Netflix series points to issues, and policy. But is it pointing in the right direction?  Today we'll look at “Adolescence”: the origin story, the strengths and liabilities of its one-take technique, and its deceptively conservative messaging. Should it be shown in Parliament? Schools? Does it tell us much about the kids it is worried about? Does it offload responsibility for misogyny and violence onto ambient internet chaos, when there are so many other causes closer to home? And why, if it is a meditation on violence committed by boys, do we learn so little about the girls who are harmed?

Oasis pioneers life-transforming housing, healthcare, education, church, and youth and community initiatives across the UK and the world.  Oasis works in ‘community hubs' to provide a range of integrated and high quality services that support people holistically; educationally, physically, socially, spiritually, emotionally, economically and environmentally.  Steve has inspired numerous key initiatives in Oasis, which retain his involvement, including: • Oasis College of Higher Education in London, in partnership with Staffordshire University, is committed to equipping and resourcing students with the skills, knowledge and understanding to improve the quality of life for their families and communities; • Oasis Community Learning, has opened over 40 primary, secondary and all-through schools around the UK, and is committed to education and holistic community regeneration; • Oasis Church in Waterloo, London, the first of a new network of UK churches which includes others in Bristol, Croydon, Enfield, Grimsby, Salford and Southampton; • Stop The Traffik, a global coalition working in nearly 100 countries and with tens of thousands of activists around the world campaigning to end people trafficking. Steve was a United Nations Special Adviser for community action against human trafficking; • People's Parliament, which creates a place of debate, discussion, interaction and partnership for voluntary organisations with the aim of building more effective relationships between the government and the third sector. In 2018, Rev Steve Chalke received the Spirit of London Award for the most amount of money raised for charity by an individual at the London Marathon, when he completed the 2011 race. He raised an incredible £2,330,159.38 for the Oasis UK charity.

In this latest episode of The Food Talk Show, host Ollie Lloyd welcomes Ed Morrison, the CEO of Roots Allotment. This membership-based business aims to empower communities across the UK to grow their food and become part of a vibrant local community. From the germ of an idea during lockdown, the company is pursuing a bold vision for sustainable self-reliance. Ed Morrison's journey with Roots Allotment began serendipitously during a pre-lockdown gardening talk in Lyme Regis, where he encountered no-dig gardening pioneer Charles Dowding. This meeting ignited Morrison's interest in sustainable food cultivation, leading him to propose a market garden on unloved land in his grandmother's garden. Roots Allotment is not just about growing vegetables; it's about fostering community and inclusivity. With nine sites across England, in places like Bristol, Leeds, Nottingham, Sheffield, Bath, Stourbridge, Chelmsford and Croydon, each allotment buzzes with human and insect life. Morrison's ambition is to develop a network of over 100 sites with over 100,000 people growing their own food within a decade. With every location fostering a sense of community,, this vision has the potential to impact more than just the way some people eat. Converting land into allotments isn't without its challenges, from sorting members' seeds into tiny packets to accessing quality compost. However, Morrison highlights that one of the most pressing issues is finding suitable land amid the competition from housing developers and other edge-of-town developers.  If all this sparks a desire to have a Roots Allotment near you, visit their website and complete an application form - apparently, all it takes is 300 signatures from friends to influence where their next site is!    Edited by Stella Gent

Be Living Motivation GRIPAZEEM, or simply BLM GRIPAZEEM, is an independent artist hailing from South London. The London Borough of Croydon to be exact. BLM GRIPAZEEM is known for his transatlantic ties from America to Africa. That, and a lifestyle that is often associated with polarised experiences. This is exactly the reason his music presents nuances of street/road aesthetics. Known affectionately as Gripz, his retrospective thoughts are of an innovative style of rap that's both inventive and intellectual. BLM GRIPAZEEM is known for painting pictures with his words. He founded Gripping Records, a Spangled subsidiary, as vehicle to release his debut projects ‘Manifest Destiny'. Manifest Destiny is dubbed the title of his first single and Extended Play (EP). The second is 'Applegarth Academy'

Wayne Alexander is a former British, European and WBU world champion. He grew up in Croydon, England and would go on to have a very successful amateur career. He talks about the highs of those early days, winning national titles including the 1994 Senior ABA title. He also had the disappointment of missing out on the Commonwealth Games in 1994 which still hurts him 30 years on. Wayne turned professional in 1995 and would soon build up an unbeaten record before winning the British title in one of the fights of the year against Paul Samuel's. Wayne talks about stepping up at only 24 hours notice to challenge unsuccessfully for the WBO world title against undefeated Harry Simon in 2001. He would soon bounce back to defend his British title and add the European title a year later. Wayne would then go through a difficult spell when he would lose unexpectedly to Delroy Mellis in 2003 and would soon make a change in order to continue to win titles. In 2004 he would move stables to John Breen's Belfast gym and would face a massive domestic showdown with Takaloo for the WBU world title. Wayne would train like a man possessed and would go on to have one of the greatest knockout victories in British boxing history to claim the title. He also opens up about ending his pro career and how life has been since retirement. Wayne is a fighter that has certainly left his mark on the sport and will be remembered as a true warrior.

uncey heads to Croydon ahead of this weekend's world title fight at Selhurst Park. He chats to both Chris Billam-Smith and Richard Riakporhe and promoter Ben Shalom. We also hear from Ben Whittaker and Fran Hennessy who feature on the undercard.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the esteemed photographer, filmmaker and director, Sam Taylor-Johnson. Born in Croydon and educated at Goldsmiths, where she was among the stars of the 1990s British art scene Taylor Johnson made her name with her non-narrative films, such as Method in Madness, where a young man appears to be having a nervous breakdown on camera; Hysteria of a young woman miming in hysterical laughter; or Breach of a girl who cries in silence – art that seems to be about our shared internal pain, and the performance we all put on in our everyday lives. In 1997, she won Most Promising Artist at the Venice Biennale, and in 1998 was up for the Turner Prize. Sadly, cancer took over at aged 30, an experience that no doubt shifted the output of work in the early 2000s. Still Life was a film that showed decaying fruit, and others explored the threshold between life and death, fantasy and reality, and what it meant to confront our own mortality. She has especially looked at the real lives of celebrities, from an almost mythic lens, such as her film David, of David Beckham sleeping at the National Portrait Gallery – that I remember seeing aged 10 – and her incredibly moving series of famous male actors crying, from Philip Seymour Hoffman to Robin Williams – that is currently on view at the V&A's Fragile Beauty exhibition, a phrase that so perfectly sums up so much of Taylor Johnson's work, the complexity of performance and artifice, and the glamour and beauty of pop often masked by darkness. Since 2009, she has become one of Britain's foremost movie directors, making her feature debut with Nowhere Boy, a portrait of the early life of John Lennon, and most recently, Back to Black, that zooms in on Amy Winehouse fragile but enormously celebrated life, showing her as the human she was, who loved most in the world people and music… I can't help but see the correlation between Taylor Johnson's fine art work and her movie work: that deep interest in intense stories that appear on the outer side as one, and on the inner as another. She gets to the core of the human condition through her work, and leaves us contemplating our own existence, how we view those whose music, voice and lyrics we know like they're in the DNA of our fingertips, and I really couldn't be more excited to find out more. -- LINKS: Back to Black: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21261712/ Nowhere Boy: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1266029/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_nowhere%2520boy A Million Little Pieces: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427543/ Fragile Beauty at V&A: https://www.vam.ac.uk/exhibitions/fragile-beauty-photographs-from-the-sir-elton-john-and-david-furnish-collection Crying Men series: https://hickeyguy.wordpress.com/2014/09/13/crying-men/ JFK photograph by Gary Winogrand: https://www.moma.org/collection/works/113229 David @ NPG: https://www.npg.org.uk/beyond/exhibitions/partnership/2019/coming-home-david-beckham -- THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.famm.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/famm.mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Nada Smiljanic Music by Ben Wetherfield

Dans les films "catastrophes", où les navires et les avions courent de grands périls, on entend souvent l'opérateur radio lancer, d'une voix angoissée, le message suivant, "mayday", répété trois fois.Dans la vie aussi, ce message de détresse est le même. Mais d'où vient-il ? Pour comprendre son origine, il faut remonter à 1923.En ces débuts de l'aviation commerciale, tout ou presque était à inventer. Ainsi, à cette époque, il n'existait pas de signal de détresse universel. C'est un officier radio de l'aéroport de Croydon, au Royaume-Uni, qui fut chargé d'en trouver un.Il fallait que ce message fût assez simple pour être compris par tous les pilotes, quelle que soit leur nationalité.L'opérateur radio chargé de cette mission se met alors à réfléchir. Puisant dans ses souvenirs, il se rappelle que, deux ans auparavant, en 1921, il avait perçu le message de détresse d'un pilote en difficulté.Comme il était français, ce pilote s'était exprimé dans sa langue. Il avait donc dit dans sa radio : "venez m'aider". Ce que, dans son ignorance de la langue de Molière, l'opérateur radio avait traduit par "mayday".Il propose alors à ses supérieurs de faire de ce terme, "mayday", le message universel à utiliser en cas de situation de détresse. Mais il ne sera définitivement adopté que quatre ans plus tard, en 1927, par la convention internationale de télégraphie."Mayday" deviendra alors officiellement l'équivalent du "SOS", un message de détresse transmis au moyen du code morse.Aujourd'hui, le mot "mayday" peut être utilisé aussi bien par les pilotes d'avions que par les capitaines de navires. Pour être pris en compte, il doit être répété trois fois.Et il doit être réservé à des cas de détresse avérée. En effet, ce message ne doit être émis que si des vies humaines sont en danger, du fait d'un incendie, d'une collision avec un obstacle ou un autre bateau, d'un début de naufrage ou, dans le cas d'un avion, si, par exemple, les commandes ne répondent plus.
