Podcasts about Leicester Square

This special episode of Girls On Film comes to you from Vue West End, Leicester Square. At our Q&A screening of VIRGINIA WOOLF'S NIGHT & DAY host, Anna Smith is joined by the film's director Tina Gharavi, lead actor Haley Bennett and writer-producer Justine Waddell. Justine talks about her ‘free adaptation' of Woolf's 1910 novel and shining a light on Edwardian England's forgotten female scientists. Tina expresses gratitude for the film's dream cast – which in addition to Haley Bennett, includes Jennifer Saunders, Timothy Spall, Jack Whitehall, Lily Allen, Misia Butler, Elyas M'Barek and Sally Phillips. She also reflects on the joys of shooting in North East England and the challenges of balancing playfulness and experimentation with the demands of script, budget and schedule. Haley speaks of finding inspiration in her character, Katharine Hilbery's big dreams and belief in her own instincts. Set against the backdrop of the suffragette movement the film brings into sharp focus the choices and limitations faced by early twentieth century women but also their determination to break down barriers and create new pathways.

Marvyn Harrison and Kojo go back. Two decades of parallel paths, community builders, event makers, fathers, who were never quite in the same room long enough to have the real conversation. Until now.In this episode, they cover everything. The g:hop era. The Sunday Show years, Ed Sheeran performing there eight times, Drake, Jay Cole, Wretch 32, Nicki Minaj, Omarion, Boys II Men. How the show grew from a Clerkenwell warehouse to Leicester Square to 2,000 at Proud. The unspoken tension between Sunday Show and Kojo's Funhouse that both men address for the first time. The people who tried to put them against each other. And why they wasted years not collaborating because of it.Then it gets personal.Marvyn on being in South Africa and genuinely believing his children didn't need him. The phone call from his mum that changed everything. The men in LA who told him being absent was just "the grind." Why he flew home and rebuilt his life around his kids. Why men's happiness is structurally treated as an oxymoron, and what it costs us when we accept that. And what it actually looks like to build a life where your no is powerful and your presence is enough.This is two brothers. One conversation. Twenty years in the making.

Welcome back to the Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast! Chris was off on his holibobs this week so Toby Tarrant took the reins… and, unsurprisingly, chaos followed! Luckily for you, it's all been captured in this very podcast!So, what nonsense did Toby and Dom get up to this time?Well… they were gobsmacked when they found out you can buy hash browns in a nightclub (Producer John you legend!) Dom couldn't be trusted enough to play a musical instrument at school so he “played the hands”, (or the fingers?) We're still not sure! Oh and Toby and Dom (well actually just Dom) FINALLY attempted the long awaited conga in Leicester Square. Record-breaking moment… or total flop? You'll have to listen and find out!We were also joined by two spectacular guests, broadcaster and former MP Gyles Brandreth (who loves his rock and indie music by the way!) He spoiled us with a catalogue of magical stories, we actually could've spoken to him all day!Plus, legendary broadcaster Graham Norton dropped by to chat about his new TV show The Neighbourhood and look back on his remarkable career—including the wonderfully weird mix of guests who've graced his famous sofa.

Poppy Jay arrives with no prep. What follows is one of the rawest conversations on this channel.Director, writer, comedian, and co-host of the cult podcast Brown Girls Do It Too, Poppy walks me through ten photos from her life, and each one opens a door she wasn't planning to open.We talk about the forced marriage she gave in to as the eldest of six daughters in a strict Bengali Muslim household. The father who once ruled the home and now sends her photos of the prawns he cooks. The nickname "Pitbull Poppy" she earned on set, and the uniform she wears so men stop scrutinising her. The year 2025, when she didn't work for twelve months despite being on billboards and buses, and ended up frying chips at her brother-in-law's Philly cheesesteak shop on the way to award ceremonies she'd been nominated for.She got her ADHD diagnosis 24 hours before we recorded. She tells me why the NHS questionnaire didn't account for immigrant kids who weren't allowed to be disruptive. We get into the Bangladeshi heroin epidemic of the 1990s nobody covered. The grooming gangs conversation she's been afraid to have on camera. The night in a Leicester Square pub where a friendly white stranger turned the moment she used the word "racist." And the operating theatre where she looked around at every single non-white staff member keeping the NHS alive — and realised she might never support England again.Honest, funny, sometimes uncomfortable.YouTube: https://youtube.com/@MarvynHarrisonInstagram (podcast): https://instagram.com/marvynharrisonpodcastTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@marvyn_harrisonLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/marvynharrisonWelcome to The Marvyn Harrison Podcast — a story-driven conversation exploring identity, fatherhood, masculinity, relationships, culture, politics, sport, and modern life.In each episode, Marvyn Harrison sits down with leading thinkers, creatives, athletes, policymakers, and cultural voices to unpack the defining moments that shaped them.

This week, I sat down with the brilliant Paul Hunter, and after nearly a year of trying to make it happen, we finally got the conversation in the can.And it was worth the wait.From early days in hospitality (and admittedly being a “bit of a mischievous lad”) to launching hotels across London, navigating redundancy during COVID with twin new borns, and now stepping into a brand new luxury estate role back in Yorkshire… Paul's journey is packed with honesty, resilience, and a proper appreciation for the twists life throws your way.We talk about growth, mistakes, leadership, and why sometimes the plan you had isn't the one you end up living, and that's exactly where the magic happens.In this episode, Paul and I get into…His early entry into hospitality through weekend jobs and how it quietly became a careerThe “cheeky chappy” phase… and the moment his brother told him to go to London and grow upLearning the craft of hotels with Premier Inn, and why fundamentals matter more than flashLaunching multiple hotels across London and what that teaches you about scale and standardsWinning an Acorn Award and how that opened his eyes to a bigger world beyond his roleManaging three different hotel brands in Leicester Square (and juggling three ways of working at once)The brutal reality of COVID redundancy with a young family, and navigating uncertaintyRelocating back to Yorkshire and rebuilding from the ground upLaunching GuestHouse Hotels' No.1 York and building something from scratchThe power of giving people second chances, including working with prison rehabilitation programmesWhy mistakes aren't failures, they're proof you're actually pushing yourselfSome cracking quoteables from Paul“You can have a plan… and then something comes along and completely changes it”“I think that's where I learned hotels”“Mistakes aren't bad things, they just mean you tried something different”“If you're not making mistakes, you're probably playing it too safe”“Life's about making mistakes… as long as you learn from them”“You don't get that level of success without being great at what you do”Why this episode is worth your earsIf you've ever felt like your career hasn't gone in a straight line… good. That's exactly the point.Paul's story is a brilliant reminder that growth often comes from the unexpected, whether that's a tough boss, a redundancy, a relocation, or just saying yes to a conversation you didn't see coming.There's loads in here about leadership, resilience, and the importance of early opportunities in shaping careers, especially in hospitality.Whether you're just starting out or leading teams of your own, this one will give you a fresh perspective on what progress actually looks like.Show PartnersA big shout out to the first of today's show partner, RotaCloud, the people management platform for shift-based teams.RotaCloud lets managers create and share rotas, record attendance, and manage annual leave in minutes — all from a single, web-based app.It makes work simple for your team, too, allowing them to check their rotas, request holiday, and even pick up extra shifts straight from their phones.Try RotaCloud's time-saving tools today by heading to https://rotacloud.com/philThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Julie Collison entrepreneur was a winner in the UK and Ireland's longest-running recognition programme for female founders, the Tide everywoman Entrepreneur Awards, in association with BGF. The Scale Up Award, sponsored by BGF, which celebrates a woman who has founded a company in a period of high growth, was presented to Julie Collison, director of Clear Strategy Limited. The prestigious event was held on 2nd December 2025 at The Londoner Hotel in Leicester Square, where over 300 business leaders, investors and supporters of female entrepreneurs united to celebrate the achievements of these extraordinary women and their businesses. The winners span a vast array of industries and stages of their entrepreneurial journey, from pioneering start-ups disrupting traditional sectors to established leaders steering multi-million-pound enterprises and purpose-led founders using business as a force for good. Julie Collison wins Tide everywoman Entrepreneur Awards Data from the Female Business Owners Index 2025 from Tide and everywoman paints a picture of a challenging year for women-led enterprises, with the most common setbacks including falling consumer spending, inflation and political uncertainty. Yet female entrepreneurs across the UK are displaying remarkable resilience in the face of economic headwinds with 67% expecting their revenues to grow over the next year. Nicole Goodwin and Sophie Catto, joint managing directors of AllBright everywoman, said: "Female entrepreneurs across the UK and Ireland are demonstrating extraordinary perseverance, optimism and ambition in one of the toughest business climates in recent years. Female founders are working longer hours and navigating multiple pressure points, yet their determination has never been stronger. "By bringing together a powerful community of role models, investors, mentors and partners, these awards not only celebrate success stories but actively create them by opening doors to funding, commercial opportunities and strategic support. This year's finalists and winners are bold innovators, breaking down deep-rooted barriers for the next generation of female founders. We are immensely proud to celebrate their achievements and champion the unstoppable women who are reshaping the UK's entrepreneurial landscape." Julie's entrepreneurial journey has been defined by long-term vision, ambition and extraordinary resilience. She founded Clear Strategy, a data and analytics consultancy, in 2018 while raising three young children as a single mother. With no external funding, Julie and her business partner built the company from the ground up, playing multiple roles while laying the foundations for sustainable, scalable growth. Julie has steered Clear Strategy to compete successfully in a market dominated by global consulting giants. As a woman in a highly technical and male-dominated sector, Julie has faced bias and felt the need to prove her credibility, but her expertise and exceptional delivery track record have earned the trust of C-suite leaders across many industries. Julie's ability to balance personal responsibility with professional ambition is a powerful testament to her grit, personal drive and impact, overcoming significant challenges to build one of Ireland's fastest-growing data firms. On accepting the award, Julie said: "This award isn't just for me - it goes out to our team and my business partner. I never dreamed eight years ago we would be anywhere near the size we are today. I would like to thank everywoman for this platform. Women are still underrepresented in the tech industry, and it's incredible to get this recognition." George Schmidt, Tide UK/Europe CEO, said: "This year's winners and nominees capture exactly what makes female entrepreneurship such a powerful force. Many women have been navigating tougher conditions, yet the founders recognised today have shown remarkable ambition and creativity in how they are building and growing their businesses.

What would Christmas be without a tour of London's lights? For the first of our free xmas podcasts, Kasia and Dan go UP TOWN for an outside (!!) walking tour through Covent Garden, Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus. Known as stressful hot-spots for holiday season breakdowns, these Central London capitalistic hell-holes must have some redeeming features, right?!  We find out what London's markets were like in 1870, and why Covent Garden has become London's epicentre of festive fun. And we ask: why have Germanic Christmas markets sprung up everywhere via American films that make Christmas seem more idyllic than it really is? Admiring the neat Bratwurst, surprisingly acceptable beer and very poor puns, we throw ourselves into the Leicester Square ‘experience economy'. Finally, given that they want us to look up and marvel at the Christmas lights (rather than be terrified of oncoming traffic), why has the City of London not just pedestrianised central London?    Christmas is a time of giving, so consider supporting our Patreon: To listen to this episode and all the rest too - including a back catalogue of over 30 exclusive bonus eps - it is STILL ONLY £4 a month to sign up, and support your favourite cultural historians: https://www.patreon.com/c/cursedobjects

Jamie Oliver is to relaunch his Italian restaurants in 2026 - seven years after the chain went out of business - having reached a deal with Brava Hospitality Group, the owners of Prezzo.At its peak, there were more than 40 Jamie's Italian sites across the UK, but after rapid expansion and a changing market, the company ran into trouble.Now the first UK branch in six years is set to open in Leicester Square next year, at a time when UK hospitality bosses have complained of a tough trading environment, increased costs and changes to business rates. So can the celebrity chef pull off this comeback - and does the capital need another Italian chain restaurant? The Standard's Food & Drink Writer Josh Barrie is here with the latest. Hosted on Acast.

This episode was recorded right in the heart of London — walking through Leicester Square, surrounded by the noise, the chaos, and the reality of life happening all around. It is a raw reflection on comfort zones, identity, and what it truly takes to grow. I talk about the lessons that come from saying yes when everything in you wants to say no, the power of keeping promises to yourself, and how small acts of courage compound into something life-changing. From sitting alone in a busy bar to walking into a Royal Marines gala for the first time in fifteen years, this week forced me to face the parts of myself that had quietly slipped into comfort. And that is what this conversation is about — breaking cycles, facing fear, and becoming the man capable of holding the life he says he wants. Inside this episode, you'll hear: Why confidence comes after action, not before How discomfort becomes the training ground for self-belief The difference between waiting for the perfect moment and creating it How showing up for yourself builds identity, discipline, and pride This one is for the men who know they're capable of more but are still standing on the edge. Get uncomfortable. Say yes to the thing that scares you. Do it because you said you would. That is how you evolve. That is how you build your mission.

Recorded straight from the streets of London — this episode captures the raw energy of stepping outside your comfort zone. As I walk through Leicester Square, surrounded by noise, chaos, and life happening all around me, I talk about what it really means to push yourself into the unknown. From meetings with mentors and corporate leaders to walking alone into a Royal Marines gala after fifteen years away from that world, this week has been all about testing limits and finding growth on the other side of fear. Because comfort kills potential. Inside this episode, I share real reflections on: The moments that almost stopped me from showing up How identity shifts when you act differently from the man you've always been Why the best opportunities appear only after you step through discomfort How legacy is built through courage, not convenience This one is for the man who knows he's capable of more but keeps finding excuses to wait. The man who's tired of playing small, tired of staying safe, tired of being comfortable. Your life, your business, your legacy — they all depend on how often you're willing to walk into the room, even when it feels uncomfortable. Break the cycle. Show up. Do the thing you've been avoiding. Because growth never happens in comfort.

In this episode of the Film Ireland podcast, Gemma Creagh sits down with FrightFest co-director Greg Day. She also catches up with filmmakers Ali Cook and Paul Boyd, whose films both premiered at this fantastic and terrifying strand of horror at the BAFTA-qualifying Glasgow Film Festival. Dubbed “the Woodstock of Gore” by Guillermo del Toro, Pigeon Shrine FrightFest is the UK's leading horror and fantasy film festival.  A seasoned film and television publicist, Greg Day has worked with icons such as Dario Argento and George A. Romero, represented Columbia Pictures, and served as Head of Entertainment Publicity at Channel 4. After Greg, we hear from comedian and magician-turned-filmmaker Ali Cook, who discusses The Pearl Comb, his fantastical mermaid-themed short. Then, Scottish filmmaker Paul Boyd joins us to talk about Scared to Death, his darkly comic haunted house feature, which had its international premiere at the festival The 26th FrightFest edition takes place in the heart of London's Leicester Square and runs 21st - 25th August 2025. https://www.frightfest.co.uk/ THE PEARL COMB Director: Ali Cook. Cast: Beatie Edney, Ali Cook, Simon Armstrong, Clara Paget, Roxana Cook, Thomas Stocker. UK 2024. 21 min. A doctor – hell bent on proving a woman's place is in the home and not practising medicine – discovers the source of a woman's unearthly power when investigating her miraculous claim to be the first person to cure tuberculosis. SCARED TO DEATH Director Paul Boyd. Cast: Lin Shaye, Bill Moseley, Rae Dawn Chong, Olivier Paris. USA 2024. 1h38m N/C 18+ Thanks to Brick Lane Entertainment Jasper is a young opportunistic filmmaker yearning to climb the Hollywood ladder. Working as a lowly production assistant, he seizes his chance to be a ‘real' director when he suggests to his cantankerous boss that the crew and actors from their upcoming horror film attend an actual séance in an old, haunted house for research. They choose an abandoned children's shelter closed for 70 years since the mysterious murders of five children in 1942, apparently discovered scared to death. Once the séance begins, the motley crew find themselves trapped and haunted by the children . . . and something possibly worse.

Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode celebrate 25 years of In The Mood For Love - director Wong Kar Wai's acclaimed romantic drama starring Maggie Cheung as Mrs Chan and Tony Leung as Mr Chow - two neighbours in 1960s Hong Kong, bonded by a revelation about their respective spouses.Critically beloved on its first release back in 2000, the film is now reaching an entirely new generation of young film fans, thanks in part to its popularity on social media sites like Letterboxd and TikTok. Mark speaks to critic and sometime filmmaker Tony Rayns, who was a key part of Wong Kar-Wai's team for many years, working closely with the director on the English subtitles for his films. Tony gives Mark the inside story of the production of In The Mood For Love, as well as some insight into the enigmatic director's sometimes chaotic working methods. Ellen takes a trip to The Prince Charles Cinema in London's Leicester Square - where film fans in their early 20s have been packing screenings of In The Mood For Love - to try to get a sense of why Wong Kar Wai's modern masterpiece has developed such a devoted fanbase. And she speaks to Paul Vickery - Head of Programming at the Prince Charles - about the film's continuing popularity with audiences. And Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Bradford Young tells Mark how he fell in love with the work of Wong Kar-Wai - and why he thinks In The Mood For Love is still resonating with young viewers a quarter century on.

We present our review of A Minecraft Movie (2025)! A Minecraft Movie is a 2025 fantasy adventure comedy film based on the 2011 video game Minecraft by Mojang Studios. It was directed by Jared Hess and written by Chris Bowman, Hubbel Palmer, Neil Widener, Gavin James, and Chris Galletta, from a story by Allison Schroeder, Bowman, and Palmer. The film stars Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, and Sebastian Hansen. In the film, four misfits are pulled through a portal into a cubic world that thrives on imagination, having no choice but to master the world while embarking on a quest with an expert crafter named Steve.Plans for a Minecraft film adaptation originated in 2014, when game creator Markus Persson revealed that Mojang was in talks with Warner Bros. Pictures to develop the project. Throughout its development, A Minecraft Movie shifted between several directors, producers, and story drafts. By 2022, Legendary Entertainment became involved, and Hess was hired as director with Momoa in talks to star. Further casting took place from May 2023 to January 2024. Principal photography began later that month in New Zealand and concluded in April 2024. Mark Mothersbaugh composed the score, and Sony Pictures Imageworks, Wētā FX, and Digital Domain provided the films visual effects.A Minecraft Movie had its world premiere at Empire, Leicester Square in London on March 30, 2025, and was theatrically released in the United States on April 4. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the performances of the cast, though some were divided on its plot and faithfulness to the source material. It has grossed $317.7 million worldwide against a budget of $150 million, becoming the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2025.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Whilst out and about on my travels, I was introduced to today's guest by previous guest, powerhouse Rachel Thomson (Episode 176).So it was great to sit down with Tim Hobern, the founder of Dovetail Bars, to talk about his wild and unexpected journey from bartender to bar owner to entrepreneur shaping London's cocktail scene. From opening London's smallest bar to launching a Leicester Square hotspot in just 72 sleepless hours, Tim shares the thrills, challenges, and lessons of building a hospitality business in a post-COVID world.Key Takeaways:Entrepreneurial Agility – Tim's journey is a masterclass in spotting opportunities and adapting quickly. (Spoiler: "Pivot" is mentioned... reluctantly.)The Power of Saying Yes – How a residency deal turned into a rapidly growing bar brand.Future-Proofing Your Business – Why Tim doubled down on a second location early on.The Art of Customer Experience – From London's tiniest bar to a casino collaboration, making guests feel at home is everything.Handling Chaos Like a Pro – Lessons from opening a bar in three days, fighting fires (literally), and dealing with late-night Camden crowds.Fun Moments:The creative way Tim once "gently" persuaded a rowdy crowd to leave his venue. (Hint: Music choices matter!)The time a neighbouring building caught fire, and Tim had to empty the bar's safe and grab some beers… just in case.How opening a bar inside a casino required a surprising amount of explanation to customers.Memorable Quotes from the episode:“No one has ever had a fight with Britney Spears playing in the background.”“Everything only ever makes sense in retrospect.”“I called in every possible favour… and then we had a three-day turnaround to open a bar.”“If you tell yourself this is going to be a chapter in the autobiography, you can push through the pain.”“I've developed an almost religious relationship with coffee.”“Most things are set up to be manageable—otherwise, businesses wouldn't survive.”“The best problem-solvers have just a tinge of arrogance—the refusal to accept there's something they can't do.”“You can find ways to make people feel unwelcome without being unwelcoming.”This chat is totally brimmed with lessons and stories and I hope you enjoy!The GuestTim is a British/Australian Bar manager who's been working across London venues for the past 9 years. Since 2023, he's been the owner of Dovetail Bars Ltd, a company that operates bar residencies for venues that have difficulty executing bar concepts in a post-Covid and Brexit space.https://dovetailbars.co.uk/Instagram - @dovetailbarsShow PartnersA big shout out to Today's show partner, RotaCloud, the people management platform for shift-based teams.RotaCloud lets managers create and share rotas, record attendance, and manage annual leave in minutes — all from a single, web-based app.It makes work simple for your team, too, allowing them to check their rotas, request holiday, and even pick up extra shifts straight from their phones.Try RotaCloud's time-saving tools today by heading to https://rotacloud.com/philThis podcast uses the...

This week Woman's Hour has featured the Forgotten Children series about the impact on children when a parent is sent to prison. So what do the Government intend to do about the problem? Anita Rani speaks to Labour MP Jake Richards and Conservative MP Richard Holden about the possibility of cross party action on this issue. A video has been going viral since yesterday: New Zealand MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke brought the country's parliament to a halt by performing a haka in protest at a controversial bill seeking to reinterpret the country's founding treaty with Māori people. Maori journalist Jamie Tahana tells Anita what happened, and what it means for the country. Actor Halle Berry attended a fashion show wearing the same dress she memorably wore while accepting the Oscar for best actress in 2002. Thanks to her role in “Monster's Ball,” Berry was the first black woman in history to take home the accolade, making the gown — which features a burgundy skirt and sheer bodice adorned with floral appliqué — all the more special. Anita explores this with Rosana Lai fashion editor at Glamour UK.COP29 - the UN's climate conference – has been taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan this week. The assembled delegates have been discussing ways to limit and prepare for future climate change with a particular focus on how to finance poorer countries adaptation to climate change.

Everybody sing *poooddccasssstttttt* Hello and welcome to The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast! Chris and the team are taking a well-earned break this week but don't worry, you're in safe hands with trusty Toby Tarrant. Toby kicked off the week with a massive announcement about his ‘Tarrant vs The Thames' challenge, in aid of Global's Make Some Noise. He'll be travelling 56 miles down the river in true style: in a giant unicorn pedalo. The challenge will take place in October and Toby would be thrilled with any support or donations you can give. Toby was joined by some fabulous guests this week. Firstly, Teri Hatcher, aka Lois Lane, brought glamour and giggles, telling us all about how the spooky movie ‘Coraline' is returning to cinemas in 3D this August. Next, TV adventurer Aldo Kane made his most daring expedition yet to the Leicester Square studios, telling Toby all about the mental trails of exploring, as well as the importance of anti-chafing creams. Then, national treasure Mel Giedroyc met Toby for the first time, and agreed to join Toby on his pedalo challenge. Finally, comedian Maisie Adam made a last minute visit and, without knowing what she was in for, got roped into playing a quiz with the team. Speaking of quizzes, Toby turned the studio into his own house of games this week, with the return of Stumpy's Quiz, as well as two new games: Intern Bella's ‘Squeak, Squeal, Squawk' and Producer Harry's ‘Rock n Roll Games Console'. And that's a wrap! It's all good stuff, but here's some Tarrant treats...A spooky tale about sausage rolls in Sunderland An ‘encouraging' message from Sir Steve Redgrave Toby's roast from a robotEnjoy!

//The Wire//2230Z August 12, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: KURSK OFFENSIVE CONTINUES. UNREST IN U.K. REMAINS CONSTANT. WESTERN POWERS CONTINUE TO ESCALATE TENSIONS IN MIDDLE EAST.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Eastern Europe: A fire broke out at Zaporizhzhia NPP in central Ukraine over the weekend, prompting much confusion about the incident. Russian forces claim the fire was the result of Ukrainian shelling, whereas Ukrainians claim that Russian soldiers set fire to a pile of rubber tires underneath one of the cooling towers. AC: Neither side has provided evidence of their claims, though the fire has since been extinguished. Personnel at the IAEA did note that they received a report of a drone attack on the facility, but that “no impact has been reported for nuclear safety”.In Russia, the Kursk offensive continues as before, with neither Ukraine nor Russia providing much concrete data with which to determine front line positions. AC: While the current front line remains debatable, what is far more clear is that Ukrainian units (of debatable size, composition, and combat power) almost certainly have more freedom of maneuver within Russia's rear areas than Russian forces would like to admit. Conversely, the forces dedicated to such a large offensive results in questions related to the other fronts, which have largely been locked in stalemate for many months.Western Europe: The European Union has written a public letter to Elon Musk, personally threatening him and his company (Twitter/X) with legal consequences for any offensive content that might arise from Donald Trump during his upcoming interview on the platform.United Kingdom: Unrest and violence continues as before. Yesterday, a stabbing attack occurred in Leicester Square wounding a woman and an 11-year-old girl. The assailant was detained at the scene. Police have not released any images of the attacker.Middle East: Preparations for a widening war continue to be made by all parties, despite widening (and contradictory) assessments regarding Iran's potential counterattack. Hezbollah conducted a few rocket attacks over the weekend, continuing the trend of harassing fires. -HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Pentagon statements over the weekend confirmed an increased level of forces within the Middle East. SECDEF Austin has ordered the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN CSG to make all sail for the CENTCOM AOR, making haste for the transit to the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The Pentagon has also ordered the USS GEORGIA (SSGN 729) to the region. These forces compliment the USS WASP ARG (currently in port Cyprus).-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Though an interview with a politician is something that ordinarily would be squarely within the political realm, an exceptionally large international organization such as the EU becoming involved in a minor interview highlights the priorities that some European nations place on censorship and limiting access to information.In Russia, much confusion and contradiction remains in Kursk. As the Ukrainian advance largely was conducted with light reconnaissance units in lightly-armored vehicles, Ukrainian forces have been spotted deep in Russian territory (possibly as far north as Semenovka). However, the real concentration of Ukrainian forces is largely still located within a few kilometers of the border. This is a major factor contributing to contradictory reports: Certain Ukrainian units can claim that they are in a certain location, but due to only being a light recon force, they have no ability to hold that position. Conversely, Russian forces can ignore recon elements in their press briefings (or even more deceptively, label larger armored columns as “recon” units), so as to downplay the threat. Though there is some strategic value in choosing to focus on the main axis of advance instead of highlightin

What would it take for you to run around Leicester Square naked? Would you do it for Star Trek merchandise? We know some of you would…Hello and welcome to episode 442 of The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast! As Chris returns from his break, the team are back together and are in full swing for a bumper week of broadcasting. This week, we introduced you to our new game ‘The Boffin Booth', where Chris and the team tested Dom on his knowledge of Jedward knowledge, for no other reason than it's funny, and it was pretty shocking…! Also, we had four incredible guests in the studio. Firstly, Professor Brian Cox talked about bringing his incredible ‘Symphonic Horizons' show to London's Royal Opera House. Next, the legendary Monty Python and Fawlty Towers star, John Cleese, spread words of wisdom about comedy performance and the joys of old age. Also, comedian Seann Walsh reunited with Chris after their time in the jungle, and chef Tom Kerridge made us all crave a haddock omelette. What a week!

Toby or not Toby? That is the question…Welcome to episode 441 of The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast! This week, Toby Tarrant sat in for Chris and whatever you would have predicted for this week, I can guarantee it wasn't this. In fact, as well as Toby's new game, 'Toby or Not Toby?', he had other important questions on his mind too: is it better to have nine or ten arms? Is it acceptable to have chips with your Chinese takeaway? Toby wasn't the only one asking questions though, as Dom ventured into Leicester Square to ask the public if liked his Vicar's dungarees (thanks Father Rachel). As well as all that, the wonderful Abbey Clancy joined Toby and Dom to tell them about her new Global podcast, Exhibit A. Toby then took this as an opportunity to play her some throwback tunes from her brief singing career…I'll let you judge whether she enjoyed it. Well. It's all good stuff. However, if you fancy some extra Toby Tarrant titbits, you can also expect…A guide on how to please a womanHeart Breakfast's Jamie Theakston's opinion on chips with a ChineseA breakdown of Intern Bella's birthday burgerEnjoy!

One of Britain's principal sculptural artists, he challenges convention, mixes media and plays with our artistic values. Since its beginnings, Logan's work has depended on the inventive use of whatever was to hand. With flair and fantasy he transformed real objects into their new and different versions. His artistic world includes fauna, flora, planets and gods. His love of travel provides the bases for several series of work.Born in Oxford in 1945, he qualified in architecture in the late 1960s and has worked across the fields of sculpture, stage design, drama, opera, parades, festivals and interior design. To him, “Art can be discovered anywhere.”Logan crosses cultures and embodies artistic fantasy in a unique and unprecedented way. His work is the art of popular poetry and metropolitan glamour.

He “experienced Flower Power” in America in 1967. Did a hologram course at Goldsmiths' College, 1982. Logan was noted for projects carried out with a showbiz flair, who to some dressed weirdly, producing camp sculptures, costumes and jewellery out of mirror and lurid plastic, but who was undeniably dedicated and persistent. He said that his aim was “to bring joy and happiness to the world”.Logan was most famous as the inventor and impresario of The Alternative Miss World, which began in 1972, the series continuing periodically at various venues.
