Nasa recruits women and ethnic minorities for the first time to its astronaut class. In the beginning of American spaceflight, all astronauts selected for the programme came from the same background. They were all male, all white – all test pilots. But now, with a revolutionary new spacecraft, and changing views in society, Nasa needs to change. They're not just looking for people to pilot the shuttle, but engineers, scientists, and medical doctors. Can Nasa change its culture? This episode contains strong language. Some scenes in this series use recreated sound effects.13 Minutes Presents: The Space Shuttle is a BBC Audio Science Unit production for the BBC World Service.

The Royal Navy were issued with their final daily ration of rum - ending a tradition of more than 300 years - on July 31, 1970. The day became known as ‘Black Tot Day'. The demise of the long-standing tradition was mainly due to safety concerns, following fears surrounding the more complex technology now in operation across the Navy. To show their disappointment, some sailors wore black armbands. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly trace back the origins of this quaint custom; explain why spirits had taken the place of beer on boats; and marvel at footage of sailors who were clearly ‘pissed, in both senses of the word'...

När Prins Harry lämnar kungahuset och Storbritannien för att skapa ett nytt liv i USA, inleds en strid mot tabloiderna men också den egna familjen. Nya avsnitt från P3 ID hittar du först i Sveriges Radio Play. Prins Harry föds in i den tusenåriga brittiska monarkin som son till tonföljaren prins Charles och prinsessan Diana, världens mest fotograferade kvinna. Farmor, drottning Elisabeth II kommer att bli landets längst sittande monark. Hans storebror prins William är tronarvinge och Harry är, som han uttrycker det själv i sin självbiografi ”Den andre” – reserven. När Harry är 12 år gammal dör hans mamma, den beundrade Diana, i en bilolycka i Paris, jagad av paparazzis. Pressen beskylls för att ha jagat prinsessan till döds. Harry måste nu växa upp innanför palatsens väggar utan sin älskade mamma och med pressens allt hårdare bevakning. Han stämplas redan i tonåren som skandalprinsen som fuskar i skolan och bara vill festa. Harry är en oborstad och motvillig prins. Men brittiska folket älskar honom, mätningar visar gång på gång att han tillsammans med drottningen är den mest populära medlemmen av kungafamiljen.Men Harry festar hårt, slåss med fotografer och testar droger. Allt för att fly, från minnet av sin mammas död, pressens bevakning och den gyllene buren som verkar slutas åt allt mer. Det kulminerar i en världsskandal där prinsen bär nazistuniform på en fest. Flykten blir militären och välgörenhetsarbete i mammas fotspår. Och kärleken. 2016 träffar han den amerikanska skådespelerskan Meghan Markle. De gifter sig två år senare inför miljonpublik. Först hyllas paret av folket och pressen. Meghan spås bli ”nya Diana”. Men snart börjar en del av bevakningen av Meghan anta rasistiska undertoner. Paret får också allt oftare kritik för hur de bemöter pressen och för sig som kungligheter. En allt större spricka bakom kulisserna blir tydlig, en konflikt mellan Harry och Meghan och palatset. Skandalen är ett faktum när paret meddelar att de ska lämna kungahuset på sina villkor. Då påbörjas ett krig mot Harrys familj – och världspressen. I avsnittet medverkar Jenny Alexandersson, hovexpert på Aftonbladet och Angela Levin, författare till boken ”Harry, A Biography of a Prince” (2018). I researchen till avsnittet har böckerna ”Den andre” av Prins Harry och ”Battle of the Brothers” av Robert Lacey.

In 1945 to 1946, postwar India was enthralled by the treason trial of three officers—formerly of the Indian National Army, who fought against the British in the Second World War. The trial sparked outrage across the country, among ordinary people, members of the pro-independence movement and, worryingly for the British Raj, members of the Indian army. The end-result? Claude Auchinleck, commander-in-chief of the Indian army, commuted the INA officers' sentences. Just over a year later, India and Pakistan were independent countries. Ashis Ray joins us today to talk about these events, described in his recent book The Trial that Shook Britain: How a Court Martial Hastened Acceptance of Indian Independence (Routledge, 2024) Ashis Ray has been a foreign correspondent since 1977, broadcasting on BBC, CNN and ITN and writing for Ananda Bazar Group, The Times of India, The Tribune, The Hindu, Hindustan Times, The Guardian, The Observer, The Times, Financial Times and Nikkei Asia, among other publications.
