Ukraine claims it has identified 20,000 children who it alleges have been abducted by Russia since the start of the war. Arrest warrants have been issued to President Putin and his Commissioner for Children's Rights. It's the subject of the latest work from film maker Shahida Tulaganova, whose documentary Ukraine's Stolen Children airs on ITV tonight. Now you may have heard of German composer Felix Mendelssohn but what about his sister, Fanny? A composer in her own right, Fanny was long ignored by the classical music world in favour of her brother. And despite being forbidden a musical career, Fanny persevered and composed 450 works. A new documentary, Fanny The Other Mendelssohn, explores her life and features never-before-heard or recorded pieces by her. Its director, BAFTA winner Sheila Hayman is also Fanny's 3x great granddaughter and she joins Emma to discuss it. An extra course of chemotherapy could cut the risk of death from cervical cancer by up to two fifths, according to a new study by scientists. The drugs used are already licensed for use in the UK so those involved say it should be straightforward to roll out because the treatment is 'cheap and accessible'. GP Dr Phillipa Kaye who is also an ambassador for Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust and Comedian, Ambassador for Eve Appeal and cervical cancer survivor Karen Hobbs both join Emma Barnett to discuss it. Designer Sarah Burton has stepped down as Creative Director of the fashion brand Alexander McQueen, meaning that there are now only a tiny number of women designing clothes for the rest of us. So why are there so few female designers at the top fashion houses? And does it actually make a difference when the clothes women wear are designed by men? Presenter: Emma Barnett Producer: Emma Pearce

AfterThoughts was created to make visible some of the invisible cancer stories from within the young cancer community.There are not many people in the world who can make cancer actually, genuinely funny, but Karen Hobbs does it.

If you don't know Karen, she's generous, brilliant and she cares a lot about cancer education. She will also make you laugh. A lot. She joined Toby and Alice to chat about a cancer diagnosis that comes out of nowhere, the responsibility of surviving and  having cancer as a secret weapon to get through anything difficult that comes your way. Find AfterThoughts on Facebook, Twitter and InstagramFind Karen on Instagram.AfterThoughts is supported by Trekstock.

Fifteenth episode, with a bullet! Steve moonlights as couples counsellor for the first ever episode of the podcast to feature two guests; the adorkable Karen Hobbs and Richard Stott. In a naughty, anarchic and heart-on-sleeve chat, the three near-strangers fall madly in love over "Flechazo"; the arrow-shot. Is it possible to fall in love at first sight like in the classic tales and myths? Is it a warm fuzzy feeling, or a doom-laden inconvenience? Are snails the Cupids of the animal kingdom, or the ultimate hate-fuckers? How long can you struggle in love's grip before you admit the truth you knew from day one? And most interestingly, can we deprogram our cynical adult brains and shed the unfair wounds of our pasts, and become loved-up teenagers again?  Richard and Karen are both going to Edinburgh with shows this year, so go and see them because they're both brilliant! Richard is bringing his wry candidness to living with Poland Syndrome in "Right Hand Man" at 12:45 at Gilded Balloon. Karen is in a split-show with comedy duo Alice & Lisa, where she sprinkles her outrageous cheek all over being a cancer survivor, called "Pussies" at 17:00 at Revolution Bar.  Please subscribe, rate and review us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/50-uses-for-the-word-love-podcast/id1450245633 Follow the podcast on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/50usesforthewordlove/ And tweet us here: @50Uses Karen's twitter is: @karen_hobbs Karen's Instagram is: @karen_hobbs Richard's twitter is: @TheRstott Richard's Instagram is: @the_rstott Steve's comedy can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/TrumbleComedy/ Steve's twitter is: @StephenTrumble Music composed by John Bowen.

In this episode Anouszka and Frankie explore the pleasure that can come from that time of the month – including glorious period sex – as well as the pain. Stand up comedian Karen Hobbs talks about how she uses comedy (and a large poster of her vulva!) to discuss her cervical cancer diagnosis, and blogger Jessica Duffin opens up about painful sex as a result of endometriosis. Plus, The Sway give us their top tips for orgasm denial! Continue the conversation with us on twitter and instagram @pro_pleasure!

In this episode Lala is joined by @karen_hobbs from @eveappeal Gynae Cancer Charity for a chat about gynae cancers, cervical screening (smear tests), sex, vaginas, and vulvas as well as answering questions sent in by followers including: If you have had abnormal cells removed does it just prolong getting cervical cancer or do your chances go back to that of someone without HPV? What is the process of the smear? What can you do if you find vaginal examinations traumatic? What is HPV? My smear test is due next year but I will be living in Abu Dhabi. I have previously had abnormal cells but I don’t know the system over there or whether I trust it completely. Can I get an early test in the UK for this reason? Can you please talk about pages that promote Yoni detox for purging the vagina? Do they work? Do we need to cleanse internally? Can your inner lips stretch over time, for example if you pull them to shave or dry yourself? Is there really a way to tighten the vagina – do exercises really work? My cousin has had vulva cancer 3 times, what are the chances of me getting it? My clit is really small and hidden/buried so I find it really hard to have a clitoral orgasm. Any advice? Does porn give us an unrealistic view of vulvas?

Our lives are getting increasingly stressful and the overwhelm is real, so how do we carve out time for self-love and what does it look like? For this special live episode, recorded at White City House, we explore self-love in all its forms. Co-hosts Lisa Williams and Anniki Sommerville haven't had much time for self-love recently, hear about their paltry efforts. Dr Karen Gurney answers the question, ‘If you don't love yourself, can you love anyone else?', Nadia Deem advocates masturbation as self-love and offers up some tips, Deborah James (AKA Bowel Babe) talks about why it's important to her to stay glam during treatment for cancer, and Kath from Mooncup (which sponsored the 3rd series of the Hotbed) reveals how businesses can encourage their employees to look after themselves. Headlining the evening is comedian Karen Hobbs, who somehow finds lols in her experience of cervical cancer. With huge thanks to Anna Butterworth of Ultra Violet agency for organising the night's amazing self-love marketplace and brilliant raffle in aid of the Eve Appeal, the only charity which focuses on prevention of the five gynaecological cancers. Produced by Shola Aleje, Alex Graham and Lisa Williams. Thanks also to Pop Shop London for the balloons, to White City House for hosting the event, and to all the fierce, feminist brands who took part in the marketplace.To donate to the Eve Appeal or to find out about the signs and symptoms of the five gynae cancers, click here.To pre-order The Hotbed Collective's book More Orgasms Please, click here.To sign up to Nadia's Appointment A.M mailing list, click here.Follow the line-up on Instagram here:The Hotbed CollectiveAppointment A.MDr Karen GurneyMooncupDeborah JamesKaren HobbsThe Eve AppealThank you for listening to the Hotbed podcast.
