This week Di and Nicola chat with the hilarious and uplifting Kathy Lette. Kathy is a celebrated comic writer who has penned 20 novels, many of which have become international bestsellers and been turned into films, TV series and even an opera. Kathy's career began when she wrote the iconic novel Puberty Blues when she was just 17. She went on to do stints as a singer, a newspaper columnist and a sitcom writer for Columbia Pictures in LA. These days she's an author, travel writer and TV presenter and her latest book, The Revenge Club, is a must-read for every woman.  Kathy talks about life in her sixties - or as she lovingly calls them, her sexties. She shares how life just gets better, you enjoy life more and you can finally put yourself first for a change. Kathy shares about the importance of female friendships and how much of a positive impact they've had on her life.  We hear what it was like for Kathy when she fell in love with Geoffrey Robertson after appearing on a TV show with him, when she was still married to her first husband, Kim. Kathy tells great stories about her life in London with Geoffrey and some of the incredible people that stayed in their attic - James Hewitt, Julian Assange and Salman Rushdie to name just a few.  You won't want to miss Kathy's story about that time she got asked out by George Clooney (an unknown, fresh-faced actor) and said ‘No'. The good news is, it's all worked out for Kathy who met her current partner whilst walking through the park on a hot summer's day - another great story you'll want to hear.  We also talk to Kathy about the benefits of laughter, her positive spirit, and the joy that she brings to the world. It was an absolute delight having Kathy entertain us in the studio and we hope you laugh as much as we did.  Follow Kathy Lette on IG here Buy The Revenge Club here Find more of Kathy's books here Follow Nicola and Di on IG hereSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Julian Assange. Salman Rushdie. Mike Tyson. Lula da Silva. The Wall Street Journal. The New York Times.What do all these have in common? They were defended by Geoffrey Robertson KC.He helped prosecute warlords and dictators like General Pinochet, was the President of the War Crimes Court in Sierra Leone, and fought for human rights everywhere from Armenia to Yugoslavia, Colombia to Czechoslovakia, South Africa to South London.He founded one of the world's leading human rights law chambers working with the likes of Kier Starmer and Amal Clooney.

Stephen Sackur speaks to the renowned lawyer and author Geoffrey Robertson KC, who has long experience as an international human rights defender and a war crimes trial judge. Is the fact that President Vladimir Putin faces war crimes charges while still sitting in the Kremlin a sign of how far we've come, or how far we have to go when it comes to global justice?

"British justice is a confidence trick"World renowned barrister Geoffrey Robertson, KC, author of several books including his most recent, Lawfare, 'How Russians, the Rich and the Government try to prevent free speech' - how the defamation laws are being used by the super-rich to cover up wrong doing. He says 'Britain doesn't have free speech, it has expensive speech'. He recommends allowing juries for libel cases, but not to determine damages awards when they might apply. He suggests libel cases should be televised and says the TV companies could pay for the rights to cover the upcoming Meghan Markle V Daily Mail case. He's currently working on a new edition of his book on 'crimes against humanity', including Putin's attack on Ukraine.Geoffrey recommends his own book, 'The Tyrannicide Brief' to all budding legal eagles.

She led the Amber Heard case. She reversed New York's racist “stop and frisk” law, worked on the case against the CIA's drone strikes in Pakistan and a case against the Catholic Church over child sex abuse. She was also a legal adviser to The New York Times in the Murdoch phone-hacking scandal and regularly fronts up to the International Court of Justice and various UN human rights bodies representing the poor, oppressed, the maligned. Her name's Jen Robinson, and she grew up in a low-income family in the small rural town of Berry, proudly schooled in public education and went on to be a Rhodes scholar and to work alongside Geoffrey Robertson and George Clooney's wife Amal. Jen and I get mighty fired up about …speaking up...speaking up as an act of vitality and antidote to depression. We also cover why we want our friends to send their kids to public schools, the inside take on the Assange case, what we need to know about the Amber Heard case (big slap in face for me) and her new book, How Many More Woman, which shares how women can beat the legal system at its own game (and speak up!).You can now purchase Jen's book, How Many More Women hereFollow Jen on Twitter .....If you need to know a bit more about me… head to my "about" page.

Laura Tingle on the latest climate policy from Canberra, Bilal Sarwary on the US withdrawal from Afghanistan and Geoffrey Robertson explains his plan B for human rights.

Geoffrey Robertson QC is one of Britain’s leading human rights champions. Twenty years ago he helped fuel the global justice movement with his groundbreaking book Crimes Against Humanity. In April 2021, alongside fellow human rights lawyer Amal Clooney and campaigner Bill Browder, he took part in a special Intelligence Squared online event in partnership with Doughty Street Chambers to set out what he calls his ‘plan B for human rights’. This would involve countries introducing and enforcing fresh laws to name, blame and shame human rights abusers, stripping them of their right to enter democratic nations, of the ill-gotten funds they seek to deposit in global banks, and barring them and their families from schools and hospitals in these countries.Expanding on the themes of his new book Bad People And How To Be Rid Of Them, Robertson makes the case for a group of laws known as Magnitsky legislation after Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer who died in a Russian jail after exposing state corruption.To find out more and to buy the book click here: https://bit.ly/3dXhvNn Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/intelligencesquared.

Contemporary Australian politics fails to acknowledge the outrage that was the Armenian Genocide and shuts its eyes to what prominent QC and international human rights lawyer and author Geoffrey Robertson calls An Inconvenient Genocide. Turkish dictator Recep Tayyip Erdogan has revived the pan-Turkic ambitions that date back a century or more to the Ottomans, who were responsible for the slaughter of 1.5 million Armenians between 1915-23, with the appalling attack by Turkish-backed Azerbaijan on the independent Republic of Artsakh, which is populated mostly by ethnic Armenians. There is a greater agenda at play here, a renewed effort on Turkey’s part to crush Armenia, utterly ignored by our mainstream media and only noted in the non-Murdoch press and on SBS and the ABC.

The question of whether Western nations must return the artefacts plundered under colonial rule is the most pressing issue in the art world today. From the Elgin Marbles to the return of more than twelve thousand stolen artefacts from Belgium’s Africa Museum, the cry for the restitution of cultural objects once stolen under armed force or conquest is being heard across the globe. And the call is being heard in the highest echelons of power: from President Macron’s commitment to returning hundreds of artworks acquired by force or fraud in Africa to Jeremy Corbyn’s pledge to return the Elgin Marbles to Greece. Geoffrey Robertson QC has earned a formidable reputation as the UK’s leading human rights lawyer advocating in the most important legal cases of our age - from representing Salman Rushdie during the fatwa to fighting for free speech in the world-famous OZ trial. He’s helped the Greek government with legal arguments to reunite the Parthenon Marbles, and Tasmanian Aborigines in their action against the Natural History Museum for the return of the remains of their ancestors. He joins the How To Academy Podcast to delve into the debate over the Elgin Marbles, and offer a system for the return of cultural property based on human rights principles that aims to ensure the past can be experienced by everyone, as well as by the people of the country of origin.

Greece hopes to regain the ancient sculptures from the British Museum, which were taken from Athens two centuries ago by the Earl of Elgin. Tamasin Ford is given a personal tour of the marbles by the museum. But Dr Elena Korka of the Greek Ministry of Culture expresses the outrage felt by her country at the loss of these national treasures, including statues that were physically dismembered in order for sections to be carted away. Both sides assert a legal right to the marbles, although the matter has yet to be definitively settled. We hear the claims and counter-claims from barrister Geoffrey Robertson, as well as from Dr Tatiana Flessas, associate professor of law and the London School of Economics.

Michael Woolcock has been at the World Bank for 20 years, where he is the Lead Social Scientist in the Development Research Group. For twelve years he has also been a (part-time) Lecturer in Public Policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. As a sociologist, he's written about culture, social development, and social capital. Michael is also on the editorial board for Accord's new journal, Christian Relief, Development, and Advocacy (CRDA). Nathan Mallonee from Living Water International talks with Michael about how he got to the World Bank from Australia, his new book on building state capability, the case for using mixed methods for research, and ideas for papers he'd like to see submitted to the CRDA journal. Here is a link to Michael's new book, Building State Capability: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/building-state-capability-9780198747482?cc=us&lang=en& Here is a link to the call for papers for the CRDA journal: https://crdajournal.org/index.php/crda/announcement Michael's Book Recommendations: ‘Epic Wanderer: David Thompson and the Opening of the West', by D'Arcy Jenish. A biography of the life of first person to map the western coast of North America, from (what is now) Oregon through to British Columbia, and vast areas inland to Hudson Bay. His maps became the basis for where exactly the border was drawn between the US and Canada along the 49th parallel, and included being the first to traverse (and map) the full length of the Columbia River. Doing all this entailed surviving decades of unimaginably cold winters, crossing the Rocky Mountains on foot endless times, learning some of the languages of indigenous peoples, and doing all manner of complex negotiations – all without ever losing a man. ‘The Tyrannicide Brief: The Story of the Man Who Sent Charles I to the Scaffold', by Geoffrey Robertson. Incredible account of the first legal team to challenge the divine right of kings, in the 1640s, arguing that no-one was above the law -- when that notion had never before been tested on a head of state, in this case a king (Charles I) whose civil wars had led one in ten Englishmen to their deaths. The lead lawyer, John Cooke, undertook this task knowing full well that it would likely lead to his own death, which it duly did in the most gruesome manner… Makes a bad day for me seem like a stroll in the park… And the justly classic ‘The Hiding Place', by Corrie Ten Boom. “Give thanks in all things” takes on a whole new meaning after reading this book…

"But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy"—Downing Street Memo This week we are joined by the lawyer and university lecturer Adeyinka Makinde for the first part of a fascinating two-part interview centring in his forthcoming academic paper: "Intelligence Accountability : Can the British State Convict Itself?"

We review the upsets of Round 2 and wonder if J Hogan has a bathwater stitch. T Rex doubts his 'Showdown Slowdown' rule but is certain about Cotchin and the Tiges. This considered discussion is thrown out the window when Marco from Brunswick joins us and throws up a hypothetical that would have Geoffrey Robertson stumped

In the course of his career, Geoffrey Robertson has been involved in many of the key human rights issues of recent history. In his session at the Opera House he talks about his latest book 'Mullahs without Mercy' which brings together his thinking about nuclear weapons and their dangers in the Iranian context, but also looks at the human rights record of the Iranian regime.

On Start the Week Andrew Marr discusses the prospect of an Iran with nuclear weapons. David Patrikarakos points to the failure to understand how far Iran's nuclear strategy is linked to its recent history and sense of identity. Geoffrey Robertson QC argues that the production of atomic bombs should be made an international crime against humanity, whereas Baroness Shirley Williams believes that politics still has a role to play in disarmament around the world. But Douglas Murray dismisses the idea that political negotiation or the law will work, and believes force may be the only answer.Producer: Katy Hickman.

Det är snart två år sedan ett vuxengymnasium i Stockholm anmäldes till DO, Diskrimineringsombudsmannen av en student som bär heltäckande muslimsk klädsel av den typ som kallas nikab. Fallet är omdiskuterat och handlar om krocken mellan rätten till utbildning och religionsfrihetens möjligheter och gränser. Diskrimineringsombudsmannen har fortfarande inte publicerats sitt beslut, trots att Stockholms stads skolborgarråd Lotta Edholm JO-anmält handläggningstiden. Men nu har det kommit in ytterligare en anmälan gällande niqab på en barnskötarutbildning i Stockholm och frågan många ställer sig är varför DO dröjt så länge med sitt beslut. Jesús Alcalá, jurist och skribent och Devrim Mavi, chefredaktör på tidskriften Arena diskuterar de politiska och juridiska konsekvenserna av det så kallade niqabärendet. Människor och tro fortsätter med rapporteringen om kristna irakier. Efter det blodiga attentatet i en katolsk kyrka i Bagdad, den 31 oktober, har kristna irakiers situation uppmärksammats alltmer och många uttrycker nu en stor oro för framtiden. Har kristna och andra minoriteter en chans att leva tryggt i Irak och vad kan den nya irakiska regeringen göra för att öka säkerheten? Hör röster från irakiska kristna som befinner sig i Sverige. Reporter David Berjlund. Prästen Håkan Sandvik har dagligen kontakt med kristna irakier i Sverige och han kom nyligen hem från en resa i Irak där han bland annat mötte präster som menar att väst hjälper Al Qaida att tömma Irak på dess kristna befolkning. Hör honom i en längre intervju i Människor och tro. Utrikeskrönikan komemr frånn Staffan Sonning, Sveriges Radios ekonomikorrespondent och handlar om tradition och ekonomi i Japan. Påven bör kunna ställas inför rätta i en internationell domstol för brott mot mänskliga rättigheter, detta för sin underlåtenhet att överlämna pedofilpräster till världsliga domstolar. Istället har han låtit prästerna hanteras efter kyrkans egen lag, den så kallade kanoniska lagen. Det skriver den brittiske människorättsadvokaten och domaren Geoffrey Robertson i en nyutkommen bok om pedofilskandalerna inom katolska kyrkan. Han ifrågasätter om påven kan åberopa immunitet som statschef eftersom Vatikanstaten knappast lever upp till begreppet stat.
