In this episode Natalie Queiroz, MBE joins Laura for an important and emotional update.  Natalie shares the latest development in her case - that Raja's open-prison status has been revoked -for now- and they dive deep into the tireless campaign Laura and Natalie are working on to stop domestic abusers and stalkers from being eligible for early open-prison transfer. The change in Raja's status is a critical step forward, but as Natalie and Laura discuss, the relief is short-lived. The system's lack of clarity, inconsistent assessments, and ongoing failures leave victims trapped in cycles of anxiety, retraumatisation, and fear. Together, they explore the emotional and psychological toll of a system that overlooks intent to murder, and the continued danger of coercive controllers, why domestic abusers, coercive controllers and stalkers must be exempt from early open-prison transfer, along with the urgent need for specialised training for offender managers and probation officers and  implications for victims' safety, justice, and reform. Please take action:Listen, share, and amplify, and write to Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy and call for domestic abusers and stalkers to be excluded from early transfer to open prison. Your voice matters -together, we can drive change and save lives. Trigger warning: This is a tough listen but an important one. It could save your life.   #CrimeAnalyst #Femicide #Murder #AttemptedMurder #TrueCrime #Podcast #NatalieQueiroz #Investigation #WestMidlandsPolice #Behaviour #Risk #EarlyWarningSigns #CoerciveControl #Control #manipulation #Psychopath #BaburRaja #Prison #Release Clip   https://x.com/AndrewmitchMP/status/1988674796918567415  Thank You to Crime Analyst Sponsors Who Make the Show Possible.

We might be a quarter of the way through the 21st century, but our energy system in still stuck in the past, with distribution of power still reliant on the National Grid and few options for people to take control of their energy needs on a local level. In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast, we speak to three guests who are looking to disrupt the status quo and empower people to collectively generate and use electricity within communities. We speak to artist and filmmaker Hilary Powell about her project Power Station, which saw many of the houses on her road in East London installing solar panels on their rooftops. We speak to Kayla Ente, MBE, about the work of BHESCo, which is helping communities across Brighton & Hove and beyond to decarbonise, and we meet Gareth Davies, whose organisation Aquatera led the ReFLEX Orkney project; a pioneering initiative connecting the dots between local energy generation and use on the Orkney Islands. Listen now to hear: What inspired Hilary and her partner Dan to create Power Station. What the current legislation is and why it is still challenging to break free from the grid. What BHESCo is doing to help more people have access to renewable energy generation at no upfront cost. How the original ambition of the ReFLEX Orkney programme has faces challenges with outdated policy and systems. What communities can do to maximise the benefits of local power generation.

In this episode of Why Care?, Nadia Nagamootoo sits down with Elliott Rae, founder of Music Football Fatherhood, creator of the Parenting Out Loud movement and one of the UK's leading voices on fatherhood, modern masculinity and men's mental health. Elliott reflects on his decade of work shifting workplace culture for dads, from challenging stigma around flexible working to building systems that support equal parenting.Grounded in personal experience, including the trauma and transformation of early parenthood, Elliott explains why encouraging dads to speak up about their caregiving responsibilities is essential for gender equality, societal wellbeing and children's development. His story blends purpose, vulnerability and activism, revealing how changing the way men parent can change the foundations of work and family life everywhere. Key Takeaways:Equal parenting is a system shift that reduces the motherhood penalty.Stigma, silence and old ideas of masculinity still block dads at work.Culture change requires leaders to understand the ‘why' behind caring.Father involvement improves wellbeing for men, women and children.Proactive organisational messaging dramatically increases leave uptake.Guest BioElliott Rae is the founder of the parenting platform MusicFootballFatherhood, called the ‘Mumsnet for Dads' by the BBC. He is the curator of the bestselling book, DAD, presenter of BBC One documentary ‘Becoming Dad' and co-founder of the Working Dads Employer Awards. Elliott created the Parenting Out Loud campaign which supports employers to build workplace cultures where dads can be loud and proud about their caring responsibilities at work. Elliott is the ex-Head of DEI Delivery at HM Treasury and one of the UK's most prominent speakers on fatherhood, men's mental health and masculinity. He co-hosts the popular podcast, To Be A Boy, which is one of the top parenting podcasts in the UK and he has written for publications such as The Independent, The Telegraph and Grazia and frequently appears across the media, including a feature on Loose Women and regular contributions to Radio 5 Live and BBC Radio London. Elliott was recently awarded an MBE and his work on gender equality has been recognised by the United Nations and he was awarded the #HeForShe award by UN Women UK.In 2025, Elliott created and hosted the world's first Working Dad's Summit.LinksElliott Rae: Instagram| LinkedIn | WebsiteParenting Out Loud: https://elliottrae.com/parentingoutloud/Music Football Fatherhood: https://www.musicfootballfatherhood.comNadia Nagamootoo: Website | LinkedIn | InstagramAvenir Consulting: https://linktr.ee/avenirconsultingservices

What happens when anger becomes fuel, and one woman's story grows into a movement that changes the law? Cei is joined by Joeli Brearley—activist, author, speaker, podcast host and founder of Pregnant Then Screwed. Before stepping into the spotlight as one of the UK's most influential campaigners, Joeli worked in the arts, producing digital festivals and cultural projects that honed her gift for turning complex ideas into relatable language. A skill that helped her stand in front of Parliament and win. Over the past decade, she's supported over a million women experiencing pregnancy and maternity discrimination, driven a £5.2 billion investment in childcare, and helped secure reforms to flexible working and redundancy protections. She was named one of British Vogue's 25 Most Influential Women and awarded an MBE in 2025. She co-hosts the podcast To Be A Boy, exploring how to raise happy, kind, and healthy boys in today´s society. Joeli shares how being sacked by voicemail while pregnant became the catalyst for a national movement, what it really takes to withstand the haters, and why campaigning is less about perfection and more about persistence, community, and clarity. She also reflects on the cost of leadership, the lessons she's carrying into her new venture GrowthSpurt, and why she believes rest and presence—not relentless graft—are the real markers of success. KEY TAKEAWAYS Lasting change is less about perfection and more about persistence, clarity, and community. True progress comes when we support each other, challenge the status quo, and redefine success not by relentless hustle, but by our ability to be present and lift others along the way. The importance of rest and self-care is universal and vital for artists who often pour themselves into their craft. BEST MOMENTS “I was sacked by voicemail when I told my boss I was pregnant.” “Perfection is the enemy of the good. Sometimes you've just got to throw shit at a wall and see what sticks.” “It's a reminder to all of us working in creative fields that our ability to communicate, to reframe, to connect—is political power too.” RESOURCES https://growth-spurt.uk https://www.joelibrearley.com To Be a Boy Podcast Instagram LinkedIn HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Body image is a common theme on How to Fail. It's something everyone at some point has either struggled with personally, or knows someone who has. We hear from Paloma Faith on the topic - she speaks about being thrown out of ballet school aged 10, because she showed signs of becoming curvy, and that wasn't the correct body for a ballet dancer. Then we go to a part of my conversation with the incredible British sitting volleyball player, Martine Wright. Martine lost both of her legs in the 7/7 London bombings in 2005 and speaks so eloquently about how she actually wouldn't change anything. She is now a mother, a wife, a charity ambassador, certified pilot and the recipient of an MBE.

A comprehensive exploration of tort law, focusing on negligence, intent, and strict liability. The discussion delves into the nuances of torts, including the importance of understanding intent in torts versus criminal law, the role of negligence in tort law, and the concept of strict liability. Key cases and examples are used to illustrate these principles, providing valuable insights for law students and professionals.In the intricate world of law, torts stand as a fundamental pillar, shaping the way we understand accountability and justice. This deep dive into tort law unravels the complexities of negligence, intent, and strict liability, offering insights crucial for law students and professionals alike.The Essence of Torts: Torts are not just about memorizing rules; they are about understanding the underlying principles of accountability. As highlighted in the discussion, negligence forms a significant portion of tort law, with 50% of torts questions focusing on this area. Mastering negligence involves understanding duty, breach, causation, and damages, with a keen eye on the nuances of duty and causation.Intent and Its Complexities: Intent in torts differs significantly from criminal law. The discussion emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between specific and general intent, especially in cases like battery and assault. The Villa v. Darul case serves as a perfect illustration of how intent is applied in torts, focusing on the intent for contact rather than the resulting injury.Strict Liability and Its Reach: Strict liability shifts the focus from the defendant's mindset to the nature of the activity or product. Whether it's abnormally dangerous activities or product liability, the principle remains the same: accountability without fault. The discussion also touches on the intriguing overlap of tort concepts, such as applying battery principles to environmental pollution cases.At its core, tort law is about achieving corrective justice, ensuring that those responsible for harm bear the cost. As we navigate the complexities of torts, we must consider how these principles apply to both physical and emotional vulnerabilities, challenging us to think about the future evolution of tort law.Negligence Focus: Negligence constitutes 50% of torts questions, emphasizing the importance of understanding duty, breach, causation, and damages.Intent in Torts vs. Criminal Law: Intent in torts focuses on the contact rather than the resulting injury, differing significantly from criminal law.Transferred Intent: This principle applies to core torts like battery and assault, allowing intent to transfer between victims or torts.Eggshell Plaintiff Rule: Ensures full compensation for physical harm, accounting for the plaintiff's unique vulnerabilities.Comparative Fault Systems: These systems vary by jurisdiction, affecting how damages are calculated based on the plaintiff's fault.Product Liability: Involves understanding manufacturing defects, design defects, and failure to warn, crucial for tort law.TakeawaysTorts are about accountability and corrective justice.Negligence is 50% of torts questions, focusing on duty, breach, causation, and damages.Intent in torts differs from criminal law, focusing on contact rather than injury.Strict liability focuses on the nature of the activity, not the defendant's mindset.Villa v.

A soprano gaúcha Gabriella Di Laccio será oficialmente condecorada nesta terça, 30, pelo rei Charles III com o título de Membro da Ordem do Império Britânico (MBE), uma das mais importantes distinções concedidas pelo Reino Unido. O reconhecimento se deve à sua contribuição para a música e à defesa da igualdade de gênero no cenário artístico internacional. A honraria, que já foi concedida a nomes como os Beatles, Ed Sheeran, Adele e o chef Jamie Oliver, chega como coroação de um trabalho que Di Laccio iniciou em 2018 com a criação da Foundation Donne, dedicada a dar visibilidade a compositoras esquecidas ou invisibilizadas ao longo da história. “É uma emoção enorme, não apenas pelo título, mas por poder representar o Brasil e levar comigo as mulheres que sigo tentando dar voz através da minha carreira”, disse a artista. A trajetória que levou à condecoração começou quase por acaso, quando Gabriella encontrou uma enciclopédia dos anos 1980 que listava cerca de seis mil mulheres compositoras da música clássica. “Até então, eu havia cantado pouquíssimas obras de compositoras. Descobrir essa riqueza escondida foi como abrir uma caixa de Pandora que nunca mais se fecha”, relembra. Desde então, passou a incluir obras de mulheres em seus concertos e a estimular colegas a ampliar repertórios. O impacto de seu trabalho é global. Além de promover pesquisas inéditas sobre compositoras de diferentes épocas, a fundação já realizou ações de grande alcance, como o concerto de 26 horas transmitido ao vivo em 2020, que entrou para o Guinness World Records e reuniu mais de 100 artistas de diversos países executando apenas obras de mulheres e artistas não binárias. Di Laccio também tem se dedicado a aproximar o público brasileiro dessa memória musical, resgatando nomes como Chiquinha Gonzaga e estabelecendo parcerias com instituições culturais nacionais. “Quero que a fundação seja uma ponte para que as mulheres da América do Sul tenham mais presença e reconhecimento no cenário internacional”, afirmou. Ao receber o título em Windsor, a soprano soma mais um marco a uma carreira que já lhe rendeu o reconhecimento da BBC, que a incluiu na lista das 100 mulheres mais inspiradoras e influentes do mundo. Gabriella Di Laccio conversou com Luciana Garbin e Carolina Ercolin no episódio do Mulheres Reais desta semana.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(This episode was first published in November 2022.) Today's guest is one of my personal heroes, Caryn Franklin. Caryn started her career in the 80s as a fashion editor before moving into TV where she presented, amongst other things, BBC's The Clothes Show. Always outspoken, Caryn has spent four decades being a thorn in the fashion industry's side. Championing diversity of all forms LONG before it became the cool thing to do.  She cofounded All Walks Beyond The Catwalk to promote body equality in fashion, chaired Fashion Targets Breast Cancer and was awarded an MBE for her services to fashion. Now she's written Skewed, with Professor Keon West, to examine how media bias distorts our views of others. To bring it back down to my usual level, She is also the owner of my fantasy hair! Caryn joined me by popular demand to talk 40 years of fighting for diversity, why the fashion industry is still so bloody bad at catering for older women and why clothes should be a superpower. She also shared her experiencing of being a carer to her first daughter's father in her 30s and how that changed the way she felt about ageing, how going grey nearly cost her her job and how HRT gave her her life back.  * You can buy You can buy Skewed by Caryn Franklin and Professor Keon West from audible.
