Poet Joelle Taylor won the Polari Prize last night and the TS Eliot Prize in January this year. Over a long career as a writer for the page and the stage she has explored butch lesbian counterculture and told the stories of the women in underground communities fighting for the right to be themselves. She joins Emma Barnett to explain how joining the literary establishment fits with a lifetime of protest. As Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister Dominic Raab stands in for Prime Minister's Questions today, despite accusations of bullying, we look at how MPs and the macho culture of Westminster can be called to account without an ethics advisor, since Lord Geidt resigned earlier this year. Emma speaks to Pippa Crerar political editor of The Guardian and Christine Jardine, Liberal Democrat MP Edinburgh West, spokesperson for Cabinet Office, Women and Equalities and Scotland, who yesterday tabled a bill asking for parliament to appoint an ethics advisor if the conservative party fails to do so. We speak to director Sally El Hosaini about her new film The Swimmers which is based on the true story two Syrian sisters who fled Damascus in a dinghy boat in order to escape war and build a new life for themselves. One of those sisters, Yusra Mardini, will also be speaking to Emma Barnett about how she feels about her story being turned into a film. Fantasy Football is a hugely popular online game which requires building a make believe team of real world players who compete in the Premier League. But the growth of women managers has exceeded that of men in the last five years, rising by 112%. With the Premier League taking a break for the first ever winter World Cup, we explore the challenges early female participants of Fantasy Football have faced and what their participation in the game, and a growing interest in football, could have on the sport.

Today it is 100 years since the BBC began broadcasting on radio. To celebrate that centenary, we have commissioned a poem by Kim Moore and created a soundscape to show how much women's lives, and the noises that surround them, have changed - using BBC archive from the 1920s right through to the present day. We also ask why did the BBC get its nickname ‘Auntie'? And what kind of aunt would she be? To mark 100 years since the BBC started daily radio broadcasts, Emma Barnett is joined by television presenter and comedian Mel Giedroyc and historian of the BBC Professor Jean Seaton. Sir Gavin Williamson resigned from the cabinet last week following allegations of bullying; the Labour MP Charlotte Nichols has claimed there is a "whisper list" of 40 politicians to never accept a drink from or be alone with; and claims have emerged over the weekend that civil servants at the Ministry of Justice were offered “respite or a route out” when Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab was reappointed last month. Emma asks Anne Milton, the former deputy chief whip who has accused Gavin Williamson of subjecting MPs to “unethical and immoral behaviour" - whether we can infer a 'blokeish' culture in politics. We also hear from Isabel Hardman, Assistant Editor at the Spectator. Anna Sorokin was born to an ordinary family in Moscow, before moving to Germany as a teenager. But upon arriving in New York, she transformed herself into Anna Delvey, a German multimillionaire heiress with a trust fund in Europe. She used this persona to lead a lavish lifestyle and conned friends, big banks and hotels into thinking that her fortune could cover the luxury she desired. But it was all a con. She was found guilty in 2019 of theft of services and grand larceny, having scammed more than $200,000 (£145,000) and spent almost four years in jail. In her first radio interview since being released, Anna Delvey joins Emma.

When there is finally a general election, what will the next batch of MPs look like? With parties deep into selection processes, who is going to be thrust upon us – and who's being blocked? Journalist, author and Channel 4 legend Michael Crick, who runs Tomorrow's MPs on Twitter, talks to Andrew Harrison about our future parliamentarians.  “The left is doing appallingly within the Labour selections.”  “Starmer can't be seen to interfere too much – that can be the kiss of death for a candidate.”  “There is a process of weeding people out on the grounds of their politics.” “When local parties are choosing members of Parliament, they're also choosing potential future ministers.”  Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Andrew Harrison.

It's hard to imagine leaving a job in disrepute but then giving 20 of your mates a top honour that allows them to create the laws of this country. Well, maybe it isn't that hard to imagine. It's what Boris Johnson appears to have done with his Resignation Honours List. Lara Spirit of the Times tells us that four sitting MPs want to accept peerages without immediately giving up their seats in the House of Commons. That's a constitutional clash for a start. And then there's the advisors who have barely reached their thirties who are being offered the mother of all accolades in the mother of all parliaments. Do we really want our laws being made by a bunch of the former PM's friends? We speak to Leader of the Opposition in the Lords, Baroness Angela Smith. And, after the latest revelations about Charmer-in-Chief Gavin Williamson - who told a senior civil servant to 'slit his throat' but denies it was bullying - we ask what it takes to NOT get an honour from this government.Socials: Georgia FoxwellVideo: Will Gibson-SmithProduction: Gabriel RadusDeputy Editor: Tom HughesExecutive Producer: Dino SofosFor exclusive daily videos from The News Agents visit Global Player: https://www.globalplayer.com/videos/brands/news-agents/the-news-agents/The News Agents is a Global Player Original and a Persephonica Production.

Australia correspondent Annika Smethurst joins Kathryn to talk about suspected visa scams that have brought 100,000 workers into the country, new figures show who the biggest spenders were among independent MPs and Victorians are set to go to the polls in two weeks.  

Roy Jenkins looks at what some regard as one of the most significant developments for religious faith in Britain for generations: a practising Hindu in the highest office in the land. It's only 8 years since Rishi Sunak became an MP, so the speed of his ascent has been astonishing. But this is a Prime Minister from a very different mould to many of his predecessors: he really does ‘do faith'. Only it's not the Christian one. Roy talks to three Hindus in Wales to discover what they make of this the youngest Prime Minister in modern times, and the first ever Hindu in that role. How – if at all - might his faith and cultural background shape his personal and political values? And where – if at all - might these values cause him difficulty? Until his promotion to the role of Chancellor, few outside Westminster had heard of Rishi Sunak. Yet he rapidly created a favourable impression, introducing policies such as the furlough scheme and the popular ‘Eat Out to Help Out' to woo nervous diners back to the hospitality sector. It has to be said, Sunak has not been elected by the public at large – only by a majority of MPs of his own party. Nevertheless, his rise has confounded many expectations. And according to some Hindu believers, the portents are highly auspicious: Sunak was appointed on Diwali. Taking part in the programme are Vishnav Hindu theologian and teacher Akhandadhi Das, retired RE teacher Neera Vyas, and Dr Poonam Singal of the Hindu Cultural Association of Wales.

Today's episode is on the topic of co-parenting. I work with divorced, separated, or never-married parents all the time at Modern Parenting Solutions and I know that the co-parenting relationship can be a tricky one. Some co-parents find a way to work well together, while others have to figure out how to parent with a contentious and difficult ex. That's why I say that co-parenting is a journey and that every co-parent's journey is different. I'm also a co-parent myself. My ex-husband and I divorced when my kids were 10 and 7 years old, and today they are 24 and 21, and I think that my ex-husband and I did a pretty good job of peacefully co-parenting our kids. Now, don't get me wrong, there were a lot of ups and downs during our co-parenting journey, but for the most part, I believe that we were pretty successful co-parents. I used my Modern Parenting philosophy during my co-parenting journey which included: Prioritizing respectful relationships, Focusing on helping the kids discover and grow their natural talents and abilities, and Respecting my need to grow as an individual and to be happy (because I matter too!).. Because of all this experience with co-parenting, I've put all my Modern Parenting strategies in my court-approved online co-parenting class. Many parents are court-mandated or advised by their family law attorney to take a co-parenting class as part of their custody plan, so I decided to create my own co-parenting class to meet this need. Now, there are quite a few co-parenting classes available online, but I wanted mine to be different in the sense that I wanted to address the topics and questions that I get from co-parents all the time when I work with them at MPS. Questions like: How do I parent with a narcissistic or uncooperative ex? How do I discipline my kids if their other parent doesn't have any discipline at their home? How do I repair my relationship with my child if it has become broken? How do I communicate to my ex and to my kids when I don't feel like they respect me or care about what I have to say? And most importantly – how do I move on from an emotional breakup? How do I use this experience to become a better version of ME so I can enjoy life again? I answer all these questions and more in my online court-approved co-parenting class. You can find out more information about the class by going to ModernParenitngSolutions.org/onlinecoparentingclass. To give you an idea of what my online co-parenting course is like, and to start you on your co-parenting journey, today's episode is one of the lessons in my online co-parenting course. It's the lesson on the common stages of co-parenting. I want you to get 3 things out of the episode today: I want you to understand the common stages of the co-parenting journey, I want you to be able to identify where YOU are on the co-parenting journey, and I want you to feel confident and hopeful that if you are struggling in your co-parenting journey right now, that you CAN get to a stage in the co-parenting journey that provides you with peace, a good relationship with your child, and a great relationship with yourself too. Ok. Let's dive into the lesson now.

Tim Murtagh completed his PhD at Trinity College Dublin. He was a historical consultant on the Dublin Tenement Museum at No. 14 Henrietta Street and a book based on this research will be appearing later next year. Since April 2020, Tim has been an Archival Research Fellow with the Beyond 2022 project, an international research project working to create a virtual reconstruction of the Public Record Office of Ireland, which was destroyed in the opening engagement of the Irish Civil War in 1922. In this interview he discusses his new book Irish Artisans and Radical Politics, 1776-1820: Apprenticeship to Revolution (Liverpool UP, 2022), a study of working-class life and politics in the major urban centers of Ireland in the years before and after the United Irishman Rebellion of 1798. Irish Artisans and Radical Politics is a comparative study of the political activities of workers in three Irish cities: Dublin, Belfast and Cork. It investigates how Ireland's journeymen and apprentices engaged in campaigns for political reform, as well as in revolutionary conspiracies, during the years 1776 to 1820. This book marks the first ever attempt to analyse the role of Irish workers in the creation of eighteenth-century republicanism, representing the careful distillation of nearly a decade of research on the topic. It argues that Irish craftsmen truly did serve an ‘apprenticeship to revolution'. In the literal sense, the experience of the workshop provided artisans with a set of traditions which shaped how new revolutionary doctrines were received. But generations of Irish workers also served a figurative apprenticeship to successive political movements: the campaigns of Irish ‘Patriot' MPs, the Volunteering movement of the 1770s, and the revolutionary campaigns of the United Irishmen. The book explores the role of urban workers within the 1798 Irish Rebellion and Robert Emmet's 1803 rising and, adopting a transnational framework, places the actions of these Irish artisans within the context of British radicalism and the creation of an industrial working class.

Susan Hulme reports as MPs continue to ask questions about the reappointment of Suella Braverman as home secretary.

Politics in the UK is in a state of turmoil. Every time we think it can't get any crazier, it finds a way of doing just that. Many of the roots of the trouble can be found in Brexit. Whatever you think of Brexit, it's clear that the referendum of June 2016 forced parliament to implement a massive switch in the direction of the country that most MPs thought was wrong, and split the main parties – particularly the Conservative Party – down the middle. The politics of ideology trumped the politics of competence. This week we look at a new piece of research by two researchers here at UCL, which sheds light on an important aspect of the story.  It assesses just how much influence parliament had in shaping the various laws that had to be passed to make Brexit a reality and put alternative arrangements in place. The authors of the study are: Dr Tom Fleming, Lecturer in British and Comparative Politics here in the UCL Department of Political Science and a member of the UCL Constitution Unit, and Lisa James, Research Fellow at the Constitution Unit and co-author of the forthcoming OUP book, The Parliamentary Battle over Brexit.  Mentioned in this episode:Fleming, T. and James, L., 'Parliamentary Influence on Brexit Legislation, 2017–2019', Parliamentary AffairsRussel, M. and James, L., 'The Parliamentary Battle over Brexit'.

The Conservative psychodrama has given us a new PM, a new cabinet and a whole lot more restive MPs. So what should we expect from the party's latest iteration? Commentator and former Tory MP Matthew Parris talks to Ros Taylor about the “pleasant” Prime Minister Sunak, “appalling” Suella Braverman and what we can expect from his premiership.  “The Conservative Party has a sense of burnout.” “Beyond the commentariat, people don't want a general election.” “Without Sunak's patronage, Suella would be more or less finished.” “The Home Office destroys everybody. Let's hope it destroys Suella in a few months.” “I wouldn't be surprised if Sunak doesn't surprise us at all, but plods on in a sensible way.”  Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Ros Taylor.

In a shocking report out today MPs say too many women who've survived domestic abuse are ending up in appalling accommodation operated by rogue landlords who exploit housing benefit loopholes to cash in on a ‘gold rush' of taxpayers' money. Some women and their children find themselves housed in mixed-sex provision, or even alongside their perpetrators. The current rules mean anyone can set up what is called Exempt Accommodation if they offer care, support, or supervision that is ‘more than minimal'. One provider left a loaf of bread and some jam to achieve that standard. Others say fitting CCTV is enough to qualify. The All Party Parliamentary Select Committee on Levelling Up Housing and Communities make a number of recommendations aimed at stopping unscrupulous operators getting enhanced housing benefit without providing the wraparound support and staff they're meant to offer survivors of domestic abuse. Krupa Padhy talks to the Chair of the Committee Clive Betts Labour MP and Becky Rogerson, CEO of Wearside Women in Need. In 1691, a journalist called John Dunton was having an affair and realised there was no one he could ask for advice about it without revealing his identity. Realising his situation couldn't be unique, he invited readers of his newspaper to submit their problems. Today agony aunt columns are the mainstay of the back pages of our newspapers and magazines. But why do we still seek comfort from the written advice of strangers? Krupa Padhy is joined by best-selling author and Sunday Times Style agony aunt Dolly Alderton, and author of ‘Never Kiss A Man in a Canoe,' Tanith Carey. Yesterday marked 40 days since the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini who died in police custody after being arrested for allegedly wearing her hijab “improperly”. Thousands of mourners gathered near Amini's grave in her hometown of Saqqez where Iranian police reportedly fired live rounds and tear gas at the crowds. Protests have taken place across the country since Mahsa's death on 16th September and women have been at the forefront of the movement, removing their headscarves and cutting their hair in public in solidarity. Faranak Amidi, the BBC's Near East women affairs reporter, joins Krupa. On Woman's Hour we talk about girls a lot, how we raise them, keeping them safe, their mental and physical health but we don't often talk to them. For an occasional series called Girl's World, Ena Miller went to talk to India and Alice at their school about their lives, the things they think about, chat about and worry about. She took along her teenage diary to jog her memory about the secret world of the teenage girl. When Una Marson became the BBC's first black radio producer and presenter in the 1940s, she brought Caribbean voices and culture to a global audience. Krupa speaks to actor Seroca Davis on playing Una in BBC2's documentary-drama ‘Una Marson, Our Lost Caribbean Voice'.

A committee of MPs hears concerns that a toxic chemical trapped in estuary sediments could have killed shellfish off the North East Coast of England. The issue was raised in evidence given to the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee. The group was told by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science - which investigated the deaths for DEFRA - that a combination of two algal blooms was to blame. Time was when a traditional British Halloween involved little more than apple-bobbing and maybe a carved pumpkin for one night only. Nowadays it's a huge industry worth more than £600 million pounds. We visit Richard Bower, who grows 20 acres of pumpkins on his farm in Staffordshire, and now makes over £200,000 from his pick-you-own experience. And agroforestry - where trees are integrated to arable fields or pasture - could mean for some, producing nuts alongside more traditional field crops. So is there a market for UK grown nuts?

The parents of a teenager who suddenly died from meningitis have made a heartfelt plea for free access to the vaccine that would have saved their daughter. Gerard and Claire Rushton appeared before a select committee today, to urge MPs to fund vaccines against the disease that killed their 16-year-old daughter in 2014. Our political reporter Anneke Smith has more.

For the first time, New Zealand's parliament has more women MPs than men. Soraya Peke-Mason was sworn in yesterday, replacing the outgoing speaker Trevor Mallard as a Labour list MP. That makes 60 women MPs, and 59 men. With a by-election up for grabs in Hamilton West in December, the National Party is under pressure to add some diversity to a largely male caucus in parliament. National Party leader Christopher Luxon spoke to Māni Dunlop.

Roger Hearing is joined by David Kuo from The Smart Investor in Singapore and broadcaster Stephanie Hare in London. Rishi Sunak has issued a plea for unity in the face of a "profound economic challenge", after winning the race to be the next prime minister. He won the Conservative leadership contest after rival Penny Mordaunt failed to secure enough backing from MPs. China released a set of economic figures which had been postponed from the previous week. Sue-Lin Wong, host of "The Prince" a podcast about Xi Jinping, and China correspondent at The Economist, explains the importance of these results. Professor of Leadership at the University of Sydney, Kevin Lowe, joins us live from South Carolina as we reflect on what makes a strong leader in the workplace.

In this episode: Sheri Wise is a current member of the Society's board of directors. We discuss how great it is that there are more and more diagnoses in newborns and infants, but for us, it was later diagnosis and longer diagnostic journeys. "There wasn't much information about MPS before the internet, which was probably a good thing." ~ Sheri Wise Sheri was told she would live to 6 or maybe ten years old. Sheri grew up on a farm in rural Oklahoma, and Sheri remembers always wanting to go and do what others were doing, riding horses, going to the lake, etc. We talk about the life-changing event when we both were offered our first infusions. We discuss the frustration of boarding a new doctor when you have a rare disease, the learning curve required for them, and how you must advocate for yourself with doctors. From driving to dating, we discuss some challenges unique to being an adult with a disease largely treated by pediatricians.  "You just have to prepare for the things you know are coming. Be the best you can. And take one day at a time. And there's nothing wrong with that." ~ Sheri We talk about our hopes for newborn screening and how it will affect those diagnosed in the future. The  National MPS Society exists to cure, support, and advocate for MPS and ML.If you like Our Voices, visit our website and follow us on social media on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

The News Agents convene for a special late Sunday night/very very early Monday morning episode. Jon, Emily and Lewis talk through the big news breaking just an hour or so earlier that Boris Johnson, the former Prime Minister, has decided *not* to throw his hat in the ring for this truncated leadership election, despite the backing of dozens of MPs and sizeable support amongst Conservative Party members. It paves the way for one of either Rishi Sunak, ex-Chancellor, or Penny Mordaunt, Leader of the House of Commons, to become the UK's third premier of 2022. The former is now well and truly in the driving seat. If you thought last week was crazy, buckle up for the next few days.

Tom Davis, Director with the Public Fishery Alliance, and Chris Bos, Chair of the south Vancouver Island Anglers Coalition, are our guests on this new episode of The Blue Fish Radio Show. With support from B.C. area anglers and guides the two were instrumental in organizing a two-day reality check for a group of MPs keen on learning more about the challenges and frustration impacting BC's recreational Pacific salmon anglers. Link below to find out how the event went, and the numerous issues discussed:

Peter Krahn is a retired professional chemical/environmental engineer and the inventor of the River Trap, a mobile floating selective harvesting pacific salmon weir fishing technology. The system is now in its 3rd iteration and being pilot tested by three First Nations communities. It's not the first time we have had Peter on The Blue Fish Radio Show. This time Peter speaks with host Lawrence Gunther about his participation in the Public Fishery Alliance two-day Pacific salmon fishing issues awareness program for area MPs. Link below to get caught up with the development of this new exciting “River Trap” technology, it's connection with marked selective fisheries and salmon hatcheries, and what the MPs had to say about it all on The Blue fish Radio Show:

Katy Balls, James Forsyth and Fraser Nelson discuss the latest party leader endorsements by MPs and the likelihood that the next Prime Minister will be in 10 Downing Street by tomorrow. 

Mark D'Arcy reports on a calm ending to a stormy week as MPs debate private members bills. And there is an interview with the new Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.

*) PM Truss resigns as UK political turmoil deepens amid new election demand British Prime Minister Liz Truss has dramatically announced her resignation just six weeks after taking office. Truss bowed to the inevitable after her right-wing platform of tax cuts disintegrated and many MPs among the ruling Conservatives revolted. Speaking in Downing Street, Truss said she would stay on as prime minister until a successor is chosen to serve as Tory leader. *) Israeli troops kill Palestinian youth, wound three in West Bank Israeli troops have killed a Palestinian youth and wounded three others in the occupied West Bank, Palestine's Health Ministry said. The ministry said the 19-year-old suffered a mortal wound in the neck, while three others were wounded by live gunshots to their limbs. The violence happened as Israeli forces staged an arrest raid in Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank that has been a flash point in recent fighting. *) Bloodbath as Chad forces kill scores in protests Security forces in Chad opened fire on anti-government demonstrators in the country's two largest cities killing at least 60 people and wounding some 300, government spokesperson said. Prime Minister Saleh Kebzabo said the government was still compiling casualties from what he described as an armed insurrection. Authorities imposed a curfew after the violence, which came amid demonstrations in the central African nation against interim leader Mahamat Idriss Deby's extension of his power. *) Türkiye's Erdogan, Azerbaijan's Aliyev inaugurate Zangilan airport Türkiye's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev jointly inaugurated a new airport in an area liberated from the Armenian occupation. Erdogan is the first foreign leader to land at the Zangilan International Airport, Azerbaijan's second airport in territories reclaimed from Armenia during the 2020 Karabakh War. In October 2021, Erdogan joined Aliyev in the official opening of the Fuzuli International Airport. And finally… *) Yusuf Islam electrifies fans in his first Türkiye concert British musician Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, performed before a cheering audience in Istanbul. The concert was part of the Beyoglu Cultural Road Festival organised by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism, at the Ataturk Cultural Center. The artist, who left his mark on the 1960s and 1970s with his albums and chose to become a Muslim in 1977, met with music lovers.

The Conservative leadership race is on, and rumours are swirling about which MPs will join Penny Mordaunt in putting themselves forward to become the next Prime Minister. Adam is joined by Rob Watson from the BBC World Service, and Will Walden, former communications director to Boris Johnson, to talk about the possible contenders - and ask whether Johnson could be eyeing up a return to Number 10 Downing Street. Stephen Jardine from BBC Radio Scotland , Trish Adudu from BBC Coventry and Warwickshire, and Jack Murley from BBC Cornwall let us know how their listeners have reacted to the news, and share insights from their phone-ins. This episode of Newscast is presented by Adam Fleming and made by Tim Walklate with Miranda Slade and Alix Pickles. The technical producer was Emma Crowe. The editor was Jonathan Aspinwall.

The High Court says Trevor Mallard was unreasonable, irrational, and unjustified in his decision to trespass NZ First leader Winston Peters from Parliament's grounds. Justice Gwyn says the former speaker's trespass order was an unjustified limitation on Peters' right to freedom of movement under the Bill of Rights. It delivered its judgement today, just hours before the former speaker made his final speech in Parliament. He's been in Parliament for 38 years and in that time he's held 13 ministerial portfolios, been part of a dozen Parliaments and represented three electorates. Speaking in the debating chamber, surrounded by MPs' children, Mr Mallard reflected on his first day as an MP.

MPs say flytipping has in effect been made legal by the government's inability to deal with it. That's the damning verdict of the cross party Public Accounts Committee. The RSPB says gamebirds shouldn't have been released into the wild this year because of bird flu, and that both the Government and the shooting industry should have acted earlier to prevent more spread of the disease. The shooting industry says about 40% fewer pheasants have been released this year as the area of France where many shoots source eggs has been badly hit by avian flu and so they couldn't be imported. The British Association for Shooting and Conservation says birds raised are checked before they're released. All this week we're looking at education around farming and for city kids in particular school trips offer a chance to see both farming and the countryside. Farms in Suffolk, Norfolk and Yorkshire are going further by hosting residential trips for children inner city areas. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

There are calls for a general election in the UK, where a third prime minister could be put in place in under two months. Following what's been described by the Opposition Labour Party as a "revolving door of chaos", out-going Liz Truss (who claims the dubious record of completing Britain's shortest term as Prime Minister, just 45 days in Number 10) resigned in the early hours of our morning. A new Conservative leader is likely to be in place by this time next week. They need to get the backing of 100 MPs by Monday to enter the race. Pundits are tipping Liz Truss's close contender Rishi Sunak to take over, and Conservative MPs have already openly pledged their support for him. There's also speculation Boris Johnson might tip his hat at it, again. It's reported he's getting similar backing from Tory colleagues. Lynn Freeman is joined by Hugo Gye, Deputy Political Editor of The iPaper, based in the House of Commons press gallery.

Following British Prime Minister Liz Truss' resignation after only 45 days in office, we look at the impact of the chaos surrounding the governing Conservative party in the UK and abroad, with interviews with MPs from government and opposition parties. Also in the programme: former Haitian prime minister Laurent Lamothe on the security crisis in his country, and the devastating effect on children of war in Ethiopia's Tigray region.

Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones, also known as The Black Farmer, hopes he can increase the diversity of the students at the Royal Agricultural University, where he has been appointed as governor. To change the industry for the future he says more land must be made available to new entrants and farming as a career needs to be "sexed up"! The author of the UK Food Strategy, Henry Dimbleby has called for a ‘Land Use Framework' during an evidence session with the Environment Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee of MPs. Mr Dimbleby said there should be a plan for land use…which defines how much land is set aside for nature, how much is farmed with nature in mind, and how much is put over to intensive food production And the oldest trout farm in England says drought is threatening its future after losing thousands of fish in the extreme heats of the summer. Bibury Trout Farm in the Cotswolds says it has lost more than 25,000 fish after a lack of rainfall affected water levels on the River Coln.
