Diageo, the company that owns Guinness, Smirnoff, Johnnie Walker and more than 200 drinks brands worldwide, has announced a major reset after a tough couple of years in which its profits have fallen and its share price has struggled. British businessman Sir Dave Lewis has been brought in to steer a turnaround, including a $1bn savings plan over the next three years. Known as "Drastic Dave" for cost-cutting at other companies, can he revive growth as more consumers drink less alcohol or switch from global brands to local ones?Presenters: Will Bain and Rahul Tandon Producer: Gideon Long(Picture: People drink Guinness at The Devonshire pub in Soho, London.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (8.6) We kick off in full nostalgia mode — MTV, the Macarena, and all the where-were-you moments that date you instantly. Bellio's husband works as an adaptive ski instructor, a certified instructor with specialized training to teach people with physical, cognitive, or sensory disabilities how to ski and snowboard safely, and it's a genuinely cool job most people don't know exists. Plus Nicolas Cage is playing John Madden in a biopic headed to Prime Video. Then KTLA's David Lazarus stops by with a deep cut: he was in "Bad News Bears" — playing for the opposing team — filmed at Mason Park in Chatsworth, Mason just north of Devonshire. Conway counters with his runway modeling era and his CB radio days talking to truck drivers. That rolls straight into a convoy conversation and the general struggle of getting along with technology, including the growing problem of Waymos hogging every good parking spot in the city. Waymo woes, fully documented. We close with the Hollywood mystery of the week: someone is apparently living inside a billboard high above the Sunset Strip, and at least one neighbor waves to him every single day.

Savage House In 18th-century England, Savage House follows Sir Chauncey Savage, a gloriously unscrupulous social climber propped up by debt and bravado. When invited to host the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Chauncey and his razor-sharp wife, Lady Savage, launch a bid to impress. As preparations spiral into duels, decadence and bloodshed, their performance careens out of control--a darkly comic satire of class, spectacle, and the art of appearing important. Lomu A theatrical documentary about the legendary Jonah Lomu. An intimate and heartfelt character study tracing his Tongan upbringing, meteoric rise to fame, and the complicated personal and health battles he faced at the pinnacle of world rugby.

The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 6: Baskerville Hall by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle — A Calming Bedtime Story for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime A sleep story for anyone lying awake with a busy mind. Tonight, Books at Bedtime continues Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles with Chapter 6 — Baskerville Hall — read slowly and softly by Martin Hewlett, host of Calming Anxiety. Dr Watson leaves Baker Street behind and travels down into Devonshire with Sir Henry Baskerville and Dr Mortimer. Sherlock Holmes stays in London with his parting instruction: report the facts, and leave the theorising to him. The journey carries them past sunlit orchards and gabled houses, and then out onto the great brooding moor. There are armed guards at the little wayside station, a convict loose on Dartmoor, and a house of long shadows waiting at the end of the avenue — and in the dead of the night, Watson hears the sob of a woman somewhere inside Baskerville Hall. Let the words carry you. There is nothing to follow and nothing to remember — if you drift off before the end of the chapter, that is exactly what this recording is for. You can always come back to it tomorrow night. This is a classic audiobook reading for relaxation, insomnia relief and deep sleep — part of the Books at Bedtime and Coffee Break for the Soul series from Calming Anxiety, hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett. Take Calming Anxiety with you anywhere — download Anchored on iOS. Access over 3,000 searchable, offline-ready audio sessions, sleep stories with Books at Bedtime, and built-in nightlight features for the small hours.
Sleep Story for Insomnia — The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 5: Three Broken Threads | Books at Bedtime Drift off to sleep with a classic bedtime story. If insomnia has you lying awake, this gentle, slow-paced reading is designed to quieten a racing mind and carry you softly into deep, restful sleep. Tonight, Books at Bedtime continues Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles with Chapter 5 — Three Broken Threads. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson return to the Northumberland Hotel, where Sir Henry Baskerville is in a state over a missing boot. A bearded stranger has been following them through London. A telegram is sent to Devonshire to test whether Barrymore is truly at his post. And a cab driver named John Clayton delivers a piece of news that leaves Holmes quite speechless. Three threads. All of them broken before the evening is out. You do not need to follow the story. You do not need to remember a word of it. Let the voice become background — a warm, familiar presence in the dark — and let sleep arrive in its own time. This is a public domain classic, read aloud for relaxation and sleep by Martin Hewlett, host of the Calming Anxiety podcast and creator of Coffee Break for the Soul. No sudden music. No jarring edits. Just a calm voice, a good story, and permission to stop thinking. Perfect as a sleep aid, for insomnia, night-time anxiety, long journeys, or any evening when your mind refuses to settle. Sleep well, my friend. In everything you do — be kind.

The British pub has played a huge part in our lives for hundreds of years: it's a place to eat, drink, grieve, flirt, celebrate and put the world to rights. Yet thousands have disappeared, and many more are fighting to stay open. This week, Amol speaks to Oisín Rogers, co-founder of The Devonshire in Soho. For Oisín, saving pubs isn't just about nostalgia - it's about defending the everyday places that make communities feel less isolated and more human. He's got some radical ideas on how to save the pub but, as drinking habits change, should we be saving them at all? And what is the reality outside of London where the economic viability of pubs is increasingly under scrutiny?GET IN TOUCH: * WhatsApp: 0330 123 9480 * Email: radical@bbc.co.ukEpisodes of Radical with Amol Rajan are released every Thursday and Monday.

Tento případ se stal roku 1835 poblíž tržního městečka Moretonhampstead v hrabství Devonshire. Cestou z výroční pouti zde byl brutálně napaden osmačtyřicetiletý statkář Jonathan May, který následujícího dne podlehl svým zraněním. Nemohl tedy nikomu říci, co se na cestě mezi poli té noci odehrálo. Svědecké výpovědi přivedly po čase úřady na stopu dvou mužů přezdívaných v kraji Buckingham Joe a Turpin, oba se navíc shodou okolností nacházeli v té době ve výkonu trestu. Přihlásila se také svědkyně, která napadení údajně na vlastní oči viděla a oba muže pozitivně identifikovala. Ozývaly se však hlasy, že jeden z obviněných není tím mužem, za kterého jej koruna považuje a že by s jeho odsouzením mohlo dojít k závažnému justičnímu omylu...
Imagine diving into your family tree to discover that your ancestors left you a secret message more than 300 years ago, encoded into the literal names of their children. I follow a trail of meticulous Quaker records from a genealogy brick wall in Ohio all the way back to 17th-century Boston to discover the story of Richard and Abigail Lippincott, my 10-times-great-grandparents. Together, they survived public excommunication in colonial Boston, two imprisonments in Devonshire, England, and relentless persecution. After crossing the Atlantic Ocean a third time, they finally found a home in New Jersey that guaranteed "free liberty of conscience without any molestation or disturbance whatsoever." The children they had along the way bore names that aren't just unusual; they're a sentence of survival written across two decades, three ocean crossings, two continents, and three colonies. If you're fighting your own family tree brick wall right now, this one's for you.Links & Resources Mentioned:Stuck on your own brick wall?

Sir Francis Drake is most famous for his role in defeating the Armada of 1588 and saving England from a Spanish invasion. By that point in his life, he was already a wealthy and famous seafarer: the first Englishman to sail around the world, knighted by Queen Elizabeth I in recognition of this astounding feat. But though he is remembered in England as a naval hero, Drake spent most of his maritime career as a pirate, feared by the Spanish whose colonies and ships he terrorised. To them, he was ‘El Draque' – the dragon – with a bounty placed on his head by King Philip II of Spain himself. So who was the real Francis Drake – avaricious pirate, or patriotic naval commander? How did a boy from an agricultural Devonshire family discover fame and fortune on the high seas? And to what extent is his heroic reputation overshadowed by his darker deeds? This is a Short History Of Sir Francis Drake. A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins. With thanks to Hannah Cusworth, curator of the Atlantic at Royal Museums Greenwich.

Hoy ponemos el broche final a la peripecia vital de Fernando Álvarez de Toledo y Pimentel, más conocido como el Gran Duque de Alba. Tras todas las victorias al servicio de Carlos I, también fue mayordomo de su hijo y sucesor, Felipe II. A sus órdenes, tendría que enfrentarse en los Países Bajos de los Habsburgo al protestantismo rebelde. Bikendi Goiko-uria nos relata el papel del Duque en la célebres Guerras de Flandes. La segunda propuesta es una nueva entrega de Las Fuentes de la Vida. En esta ocasión, Mikel Carramiñana nos vuelve a traer la historia de otro objeto cotidiano para la crianza, el carrito de bebé, tan socorrido para mover a nuestras criaturas. Su invención se le atribuye al arquitecto y paisajista inglés William Kent, en 1733, por encargo del duque de Devonshire. Veremos cómo evolucionó esta invención hasta convertirse en fundamental en nuestro tiempo. En la repetición, recordamos una entrega de Por los Dioses, dedicada en esta ocasión a una de las construcciones más espectaculares de la presencia romana en tierras británicas: el Muro de Adriano. Hablaremos con Sergio Alejo del emperador bajo cuyo mando se construyó, de las legiones que intervinieron para tal menester y, sobre todo, de la función que desempeñaba el muro de casi 120 kilómetros que separaba la tierra romanizada del norte "barbaro".

Edward's visit to Barton continues, and his old comfort with the Dashwoods is slowly returning. As he discusses the rolling landscapes of Devonshire with Marianne and Elinor, Marianne spots a new accessory on Edward's finger: a ring containing a lock of hair. It's not the right color to be his sister's hair, so the sisters are sure it must be Elinor's. But when could he have gotten it? There's no time to find out, as Sir John and Mrs. Jennings soon arrive to get to know the new gentleman visitor. As they do, let their story help relax you and take you into a night of restorative slumber.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Marianne's sorrow continues, nourished by her own sensibility, and her sense of what her feelings require of her. When Elinor finally convinces Marianne to join her sisters for a walk, they are met by a pleasant surprise: Edward Ferrars has arrived in Devonshire to visit the Dashwoods. But his manner is different than when they last saw him. He seems colder and more reserved, to the extent that even Elinor finds his behavior lacking. Nonetheless, his presence is a happy distraction, both for the Dashwoods and for you, as this week's story takes you away from your day and into a night of warm and restful sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

The Dashwoods are growing more comfortable in Devonshire, and one of their many employments is enjoying the many beautiful walks in the surrounding countryside. It is during one of these beautiful walks that Marianne and Margaret find themselves caught in the rain, and while running back down the hill to their cottage, Marianne finds herself taken down by a sprained ankle. Luckily for her, there's a handsome gentleman who happens to be nearby to carry her home, the dashing Mr. Willoughby. Could there be a more romantic way to make the acquaintance of a handsome young man? Marianne thinks not. As she swoons over her elegant rescuer, let her reflections carry you into another night of warm and peaceful sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Like many families, the Mitfords emerged from the Second World War bearing scars. Yet as the world entered a new, uncertain era, the sisters' knack for making headlines showed no sign of abating. Released from prison, Diana remained loyal to fascism. In America, Jessica became the target of McCarthyism, and later joined the burgeoning Civil Rights movement. Nancy enjoyed literary success in France, while Pam relished the gentle rhythms of country life, and Deborah unexpectedly became Duchess of Devonshire. In this second of two episodes, biographer Mary S Lovell joins Danny Bird to unpack the personal and political divisions that shaped the sisters' postwar lives, revealing how this eccentric aristocratic family continued to reflect and challenge the evolving social landscape and rub shoulders with some of the era's most famous people.
