A BBC News documentary The Sex Detectives: Keeping Kids Safe follows a groundbreaking project in Bristol which engages the help of street sex workers to protect children and young people at risk of sexual exploitation. Avon & Somerset Police have teamed up with children's charity Barnardo's and partnered with Bristol's street sex workers to gather intelligence about dangerous offenders and paedophiles.

She's also the presenter of the BBC series Glow Up, the search for Britain's next top make up artist, which is back for it's 7th series. Leomie joins Nuala in the studio.More women than ever are deciding to not wait for friends, or family, to go on an adventure. The hashtag #Solotravel has over 5 million posts across TikTok and Instagram and in a recent Press Association interview Hostelworld's CEO, Gary Morrison, said that a surge in solo travellers - especially young female backpackers - is reshaping the travel industry. So, is 2025 the year of the solo female traveller? Journalist Chanté Joseph and Solo in Style creator, Deborah Ives, tell Nuala why women are deciding to go on holiday alone.Women in the North of England can expect to live fewer years in good health, are more likely to be unable to work due to long-term sickness and disability and are losing out in terms of wages, compared to other areas of England, according to new analysis. Health Equity North academics studied the latest available data to see whether there have been improvements in the inequalities faced by northern women since the publication of last year's damning Woman of the North report.

Aprovechando su inminente próximo concierto (domingo 27 de abril, 21:30 horas, Molly Malone de León), charlamos con El Meji, conversación que dedicamos no sólo a interesarnos por la actualidad de la banda sino también a conocer los detalles de su último y recién salido del horno lanzamiento: un concierto grabado este invierno en el Gran Café de León.

Tony Gregory remains one of the most beloved TD's in the history of the city. Lately, talk of the Molly Malone monument has reminded me of the story of Gregory's activism on behalf of Dublin's largely female street traders, and his comments on the statue of Molly in the late 1980s. Is it time to move her to a more fitting location, where Jeanne Rynhart's monument might finally be respected?

Meanwhile... The New York Mets mascot got into crazy shape in the offseason, New Zealand is home to two of the oldest geckos in the world, and a statue of Molly Malone in Ireland needs protection from grabby tourists. And in The Sound of Science, science lover Stephen Colbert examines the latest scientific developments in his science-focused segment.

L'émission 28 minutes du 12/04/2025 Ce samedi, Jean-Mathieu Pernin décrypte l'actualité avec le regard international de nos clubistes : Meriem Amellal, journaliste à France 24, spécialiste du Moyen-Orient ; Daniel Borrillo, juriste, enseignant à l'Université Paris Nanterre ; Richard Werly, correspondant à Paris du quotidien suisse Blick.fr et le dessinateur de presse Patrick Chappatte. Les États-Unis vont “doper” l'extraction de charbon : le grand bond en arrière climatique ?Donald Trump a signé, mardi 8 avril, des décrets pour “doper” l'extraction de charbon aux États-Unis afin de “doubler” la production d'électricité du pays. “Nous allons mettre fin à l'orientation anti-charbon du précédent gouvernement”, a-t-il précisé. Il a assuré qu'il serait “possible d'extraire d'énormes quantités de minerais stratégiques et de terres rares”. La production du charbon, l'énergie fossile la plus polluante, a été divisée par deux aux États-Unis entre 2008 et 2023, tandis que les investissements étaient massifs dans les énergies renouvelables. Ce revirement risque de causer à l'avenir une hausse de la consommation mondiale de charbon, qui a atteint un nouveau record en 2024, qui était aussi l'année la plus chaude de l'Histoire. Entre les États-Unis et la Chine, le début d'un duel sans merci ?Donald Trump a déclaré “une guerre nucléaire commerciale” contre la Chine et réévalué, une énième fois le 10 avril, les droits de douane sur les produits chinois à 145 %, en réponse notamment à la réplique chinoise. Face à cette escalade quasi-quotidienne, la Chine a annoncé le 11 avril porter ses taxes sur les produits américains à 125 %. Ce duel entre les deux premières économies mondiales pourrait réduire “jusqu'à 80 %” le commerce entre elles et effacer “près de 7 %” du PIB mondial sur le long terme, selon la directrice générale de l'Organisation mondiale du commerce. Les États-Unis ne sortiront probablement pas vainqueurs de cette guerre dans l'immédiat puisque leur déficit commercial avec la Chine s'élève à 279 milliards de dollars en 2023. Ainsi, le prix de nombreux biens de consommation pourrait exploser, à commencer par celui de l'Iphone. Cet affrontement économique se double d'importantes tensions géopolitiques dans l'Indo-Pacifique avec la menace chinoise sur Taïwan dont les États-Unis ont fait un enjeu majeur. Nous recevons la biologiste de l'évolution de la biodiversité Aude Lalis, l'une des référentes scientifiques de l'exposition "Déserts" au Muséum d'histoire naturelle, à Paris, jusqu'au 30 novembre. Si le désert nous évoque un paysage aride et chaud, il en existe pourtant une multitude. Le Sahara n'est d'ailleurs que le troisième désert du monde derrière l'Antarctique et l'Arctique. Les déserts recouvrent un tiers de la surface émergée de la Terre et sont des espaces sentinelles du changement climatique et de l'évolution de la biodiversité. Valérie Brochard rend visite à nos voisins irlandais où le conseil municipal de Dublin a positionné des gardes à côté de Molly Malone, la statue emblématique de sa ville. Elle est devenue, comme beaucoup d'autres statues de femmes dans le monde, l'objet d'une tradition graveleuse qui consiste à toucher sa poitrine pour se porter chance. Une pratique qui laisse penser “qu'agresser les femmes est normal et même traditionnel”, d'après une étudiante dublinoise. Olivier Boucreux décerne le titre d'employé de la semaine à Peter Navarro, l'économiste de 75 ans derrière les taxes douanières de Donald Trump. Le président américain l'a nommé nouveau conseiller au commerce et à l'industrie après sa victoire en novembre dernier et le propulse “Tsar des tarifs douaniers”.Marjorie Adelson zappe sur la télé britannique et sur la première naissance d'un bébé après une greffe d'utérus au Royaume-Uni.Paola Puerari s'intéresse à l'entreprise Colossal Biosciences qui cherche à ressusciter des animaux disparus comme les mammouths. Un futur Jurassic Park est-il souhaitable ? Enfin, ne manquez pas la question très intéressante de David Castello-Lopes : que deviennent les petits savons qu'on n'utilise pas dans les hôtels ?28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio.

L'émission 28 minutes du 10/04/2025 Giuliano da Empoli dépeint la violence décomplexée des nouveaux despotesGiuliano da Empoli est écrivain et analyste politique. Il publie "L'heure des prédateurs" (éditions Gallimard), un nouvel ouvrage dans lequel il décortique les arcanes du pouvoir. L'incipit annonce la teneur : "Les responsables politiques des démocraties occidentales se sont comportés, face aux conquistadors de la tech, exactement comme les Aztèques du 16e siècle." L'auteur italo-suisse présage que "l'heure des prédateurs a sonné", soit l'heure de gloire des Nayib Bukele au Salvador ou autres Mohammed Ben Salmane en Arabie saoudite. Après "Le Mage du Kremlin" et "Les Ingénieurs du chaos", ce nouvel ouvrage donne des clés de lecture sur notre monde contemporain, entre machiavélisme politique, barons de la tech et intelligence artificielle. Guerre des droits de douane : l'Europe doit-elle prendre le parti de la Chine ?Alors que Donald Trump a finalement reculé sur les droits de douane réciproques en décidant de taxer tous les pays uniformément à 10 % pendant au moins 90 jours, la Chine fait figure d'exception. La semaine dernière, elle avait réagi face à la décision américaine d'augmenter les taxes sur ses produits à 54 %, en taxant les exportations américaines à 34 %. La guerre commerciale ne fait qu'escalader depuis. Les produits chinois exportés aux États-Unis sont désormais taxés à 125 % contre 84 % pour les produits américains en Chine. Face à une administration Trump instable, la Chine de Xi Jinping courtise l'Europe et se place comme un gage de stabilité. Le mardi 8 avril, la présidente de la Commission européenne et le Premier ministre chinois, Li Qiang, se sont entretenus au téléphone. Ursula von der Leyen “a souligné la responsabilité qu'ont l'Europe et la Chine de soutenir un système commercial réformé solide, libre, juste et fondé sur l'égalité des conditions de concurrence”. Pourtant, la Chine est déjà le premier importateur de biens en Europe, et l'UE accuse une balance commerciale déficitaire avec elle depuis des années. Jusqu'où peut aller la bataille tarifaire entre la Chine et les États-Unis ? L'Europe peut-elle se fier à la Chine, au risque d'accentuer cette dépendance commerciale ? Enfin, Xavier Mauduit nous emmène à Dublin pour raconter l'histoire d'un symbole de la ville : Molly Malone, véritable héroïne populaire. Marie Bonnisseau emboîte le pas à Élisabeth Borne et sonde l'orientation professionnelle des élèves de maternelle : de quoi ouvrir de nouvelles filières !28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

Über den berühmten Knoten (den platzenden) ging es hier ja schon häufiger. In der vergangenen Woche konnten wir ihn wieder bestaunen. Dieses Mal war es Stephen Bunting, der ihn platzen ließ. Wie hat er das geschafft? Vermutlich mit einem beherzten Griff, wie damals vorm Molly Malone's in Riesa. Diese Episode war ihm wohl auch noch im Gedächtnis, als er an den Ort des Geschehens zurückkehrte und einfach da weiter machte, wo er am Donnerstag in Berlin angefangen hatte. Und auch die anderen Spieler waren nicht sparsam mit den großen Errungenschaften des Sports mit zahlreichen geangelten Großfischen und gezeigten perfekten Beinen.Folgt uns auf Instagram und Threads über @ygdc180 oder kontaktiert uns per Mail an ygdc180@gmail.com.

In this episode, Niall asks: Is it really inappropriate to touch the statue of Molly Malone, or are Dublin City Council overreacting by hiring supervisors to stop tourists from doing it?The discussion follows a new move by the Council to station staff near the iconic statue after concerns were raised about tourists fondling the statue's bronze breasts for selfies. The so-called “Tart with the Cart” has long been a popular photo op on Grafton Street, but officials now argue the statue is being treated in a disrespectful and overly sexualised manner. Critics, however, say it's political correctness gone mad—and a waste of money.Some callers think absolutely, it's inappropriate. That statue represents a part of Irish history and culture, and constantly grabbing her chest is just plain disrespectful. Tourists wouldn't do that to a statue of a male figure, so why is it okay here? Hiring someone to protect it might seem silly, but maybe it's what's needed. One caller said it's embarrassing—we're known for our craic, but this crosses a line. It's not funny anymore when every tourist feels the need to grope a statue for a photo. It's degrading, and the council is right to step in.While other callers feel it's a bit of harmless fun. Tourists have been doing this for years and nobody was offended until recently. It's not done with any malice. Spending public money on supervisors for a statue is ridiculous. Others said we've far bigger problems in Dublin than people touching Molly Malone. Save the money and focus on housing or cleaning the streets instead of policing a bronze chest.Niall concludes by acknowledging how something seemingly light-hearted like a tourist attraction can spark a deeper conversation about respect, cultural preservation, and whether we've lost the run of ourselves with public money. Is this about dignity, or are we just being killjoys?

Is security around the Molly Malone statue necessary?

Dublin City Council Arts Officer Ray Yeats says that stewards will be hired to patrol the Molly Malone statue to try to discourage the practice of people 'groping' the statue.

Dublin City Council are to take a number of measures in the coming months to restore and protect the Molly Malone statue on Suffolk street.These include a pilot scheme which will see stewards deployed to protect the statue from tourists jumping up, touching and posing with the statue.For more on this, Kieran is joined by Ray Yeates, who is an Arts Officer a Dublin City Council.

This week, we investigate the happiest nations on Earth and ask: How?! Finland is officially joyful, the UK is redefining disability, and the bizarre love-hate triangle of Trump, Putin, and Zelenskyy—does anyone in that mess feel happy? Meanwhile, in Dublin, Molly Malone is getting groped… but why?Plus, we take a trip back in time to when a British Prime Minister found himself in an actual duel (yes, with real guns), and Andy treats us to his latest, highly scientific, bear impressions.

In Ireland, more than 5,500 children are currently in foster care. This could be because of illness in the child's family, the death of a parent, neglect, abuse or violence in the home, or simply because the parent or family is not coping. Whatever the reason, foster carers are there to take care of children who cannot live with their own family, either on a short-term or long-term basis. In today's episode, we hear from two foster carers Sinead O'Donnell and Sharon Kelly. O'Donnell, who lives in Donegal, began fostering during Covid and has welcomed two young girls (sisters) into her home. Kelly, who lives in Kilkenny has fostered children for more than a decade and has provided foster care to two children since birth. They tell Róisín Ingle about why they wanted to open up their homes, the challenges involved and what advice they'd give to anyone considering becoming a foster carer. But first Irish Times Opinion editor Jennifer O'Connell is here to discuss some of the stories making headlines this week including American comedian Rosie O'Donnell's decision to move to Ireland, why girls are getting their periods earlier and why Dublin City Council might elevate the Molly Malone statue. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's been reported that more than 1,000 Syrians have been killed in the past few days in clashes between security forces and loyalists of ousted President Bashar al-Assad, and revenge killings that followed. Syria's interim leader has appealed for unity, and hundreds of people have reportedly fled their homes in the coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus - strongholds of Assad support. Witnesses have described scenes of looting and mass killings, including of women and children.

Tilly Cripwell, a 22 year-old musician, who regularly performs beside the Molly Malone statue in Dublin, is on a mission to stop people from inappropriately touching the sculpture's breasts. In this episode, Cripwell tells Róisín Ingle how she's launched the ‘Leave Molly mAlone' campaign with the aim of stopping this “misogynistic” tradition and to protest against the mockery and objectification of the city's beloved statue.Later on, we'll also be hearing about another worthy campaign, called ‘Leave our Leave', run by the Irish Cancer Society.
