A shocking report by the Independent Police Conduct Authority has revealed a litany of serious failings in the handling of complaints relating to the disgraced former deputy commissioner Jevon McSkimming. Not only were the complaints from a former lover diverted from the appropriate channels by senior leaders including former police boss Andrew Coster, the woman involved was arrested and prosecuted for harmful digital communications. The new commissioner and the police minister insist that it is a failure of a small group of senior leaders – “bad apples”, as Mark Mitchell put it – rather than something systemic or cultural. But, ask Annabelle Lee-Mather, Ben Thomas and Toby Manhire, almost 20 years after the damning Margaret Bazley report that followed the Louise Nicholas case, is that explanation good enough? Plus: Parliament has two newly independent MPs, following the Te Pāti Māori National Council expelling Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Takuta Ferris “for breaches of Kawa (the Party's constitution)”. As the implosion in the party deepens, a number of questions remain unanswered. Christopher Luxon and Winston Peters are exchanging blows over asset sales – is this a fracture in the coalition, an exercise in nostalgia, or two bald men (apologies Mr Peters, this is very much a metaphor) fighting over a comb? And changes to the Zero Carbon Act were announced with zero fanfare – what does it mean for New Zealand climate action and Paris commitments? Learn more about your ad choices.

Eight weeks after taking up her post as DEFRA Secretary of State, Emma Reynolds has faced her first barrage of questions from the cross-party group of MPs at the EFRA select committee. Over two hours the MPs quizzed her about farming profitability, environmental payments, fishing policy, water pollution, border controls and illegal meat.One of the UK's biggest meat producers, Cranswick has been refused retrospective planning permission for a site in Norfolk, housing 7000 sows. The buildings, which were put up four years ago, have attracted hundreds of complaints from local residents over their smell. Even though most of us have seen quite a bit of rain over the last few weeks, some parts still need plenty more to top up the deficit from last summer's drought. That lack of water meant this year's potato harvest, which has just finished, was particularly difficult. We visit a grower in North Yorkshire to catch up on the season and see how incorporating organic matter into soil, retains moisture.All week, we're talking about growing mushrooms. Truffle cultivation isn't usually associated with Scotland, but milder, wetter summers are providing new opportunities, according to one professor who's developing new methods of cultivating truffles.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Sir Keir Starmer is standing on the edge of a black hole.The budget is looming and Downing Street believes some of the prime minister's own MPs may move against him if it is badly received.

In episode 172 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with wellness leader Liz Plosser to unpack the practical power of essential amino acids (EAAs) for women in midlife. Liz shares how auditing her protein (moving from ~40–50g/day to 100–130g), lifting heavier, and adding a simple EAA + creatine ritual transformed her recovery, sleep, energy, and body composition. You'll learn how leucine acts as the “on-switch” for muscle protein synthesis, why EAAs raise blood amino acids faster than food or even whey, and exactly how to time them around training—especially if you love early-morning or fasted workouts.They get into real-life scenarios: perimenopause and muscle loss, plant-forward diets that miss the leucine threshold, travel days with low appetite, and periods of stress when whole-food intake dips. Liz explains how she pairs EAAs with creatine for stronger training and steadier energy, and why she still prioritizes whole-food protein as her foundation. You'll also hear when not to sip EAAs (e.g., during longer fasts for autophagy goals) and how to keep perspective by focusing on the “big rocks” first—strength, cardio, sleep, stress, connection, and simple, protein-forward meals.Finally, Dr. Anthony and Liz compare EAAs vs. whey vs. whole food, outline quick-start dosing/timing ideas, and share easy kitchen and gym habits that make consistency feel effortless. Whether you're rebuilding strength after a lull, navigating hormone changes, or just want a cleaner way to support recovery, this episode gives you a clear, actionable playbook to get stronger and feel amazing—without overcomplicating your routine.Key TakeawaysEAAs rapidly raise blood aminos and trigger MPS.Leucine threshold (~2–3 g) is the on-switch for MPS.EAAs are great pre/during/post—especially for fasted AM training.Aging = anabolic resistance; EAAs help bridge the gap.Food = slow, whey = faster, EAAs = fastest availability.Pair EAAs with creatine for strength, recovery, and body comp.Useful for travel, low appetite, and plant-forward meals.Focus on “big rocks” first: strength, cardio, sleep, stress, nutrition.EAAs complement—don't replace—high-quality whole-food protein.Skip EAAs during longer fasts if autophagy is the goal.Learn More about Liz Plosser and Kion:Website: Go to getkion.com/fitmother and save 20%Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizplosser/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LizBakerPlosserSubstack: https://lizplosser.substack.com/Kion's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kion/Biographical Information on Liz PlosserLiz Plosser is the former Editor-in-Chief of Women's Health, where for seven years she oversaw the brand across its print and digital platforms and various brand extensions, reaching a monthly audience of 44+ million.

Dave Davis pulls no punches in this explosive Fan Focus cut. Liverpool's disallowed goal against City might have sparked outrage but the BBC's decision to feature disgraced editor Kelvin McKenzie took it to another level. Dave reacts to the fury from fans, Hillsborough survivors, and MPs calling it “insulting and offensive.” He also digs into the bigger picture: the mentality issues plaguing Liverpool's players, the lack of fight, and why leadership, from the top down, needs a serious reset.

An all party parliamentary group of MPs is launching what it calls a 'new action plan for fishing.' The group believes that the industry is being challenged by a series of problems including a declining workforce, restrictions at sea because of environmental protection and avoiding windfarms. The former fisheries minister and Cambridge MP Daniel Zeichner is writing the report. Farmers and crofters are criticising the Scottish Government over the allocation of grants for the Future Farming Investment Scheme. About 7,500 applications were submitted for the £21 million fund, but around 3,500 applications did not meet the criteria. Some farmers and politicians claim the distribution of money was "unfair". The Scottish Government says it understands some people are disappointed and says it is already reviewing the scheme.Researchers at the University of Worcester are carrying out research to find out how arthritis affects farmers and the farming industry.All week we're finding out more about growing mushrooms. We eat more than a £100 million worth in the UK every year. We visit the second-largest mushroom farm in the UK at Littleport in The Fens. It produces 160 tonnes a week, from tiny buttons, to large flat mushrooms.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Communities Secretary Steve Reed, who is in charge of local government, has said he is “appalled” that serving London councillors are campaigning to become MPs in another country. He wrote to Tower Hamlets Council after it was revealed by The Standard that at least two of the borough's elected representatives had launched campaigns to stand in upcoming elections in Bangladesh. Residents in Mile End have called on Sabina Khan to resign after she announced she was standing for the Bangladesh National Party (BNP) in polls in February. Independent councillor Ohid Ahmed, who represents Lansbury ward in Poplar, is also campaigning to become a BNP candidate. It comes as government envoys were sent into Tower Hamlets Council last year, over concerns about the party's leadership, governance and culture. But are these councillors breaking the law by running for office abroad? The Standard's Chief Political Correspondent Rachael Burford joins us with the latest. Hosted on Acast.

How could dozens of white supremacists be allowed to rally outside of the NSW parliament building, on Saturday morning? And why didn’t the police who watched them congregate make them disperse, once they heard them use antisemitic tropes about power and influence, and chant a Hitler Youth slogan?These are just two of the questions facing our government and police force, in the wake of an incident that has not only created fear, but led to two MPs facing threats of death, and rape.Today, state political editor Alexandra Smith, on what this incident tells us about whether our laws - and the institutions meant to keep us safe - are fit for purpose. And whether NSW is weaker than other states and territories, at warding off the attempts of the Neo-Nazi group to establish a political party.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

//The Wire//2300Z November 5, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: ANOTHER MIGRANT CRIMINAL "MISTAKENLY" RELEASED IN SOUTH LONDON ALMOST A WEEK AGO. PLANE CRASH IN KENTUCKY RESULTS IN 11X FATALITIES AS SEVERAL REMAIN MISSING. VEHICLE RAMMING ATTACK CONDUCTED IN FRANCE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: This morning the Metropolitan Police revealed that another migrant criminal had "mistakenly" been released by the prison services in South London. Brahim Kaddour-Cherif, an Algerian migrant, was released in south London allegedly by accident over a week ago, while he was serving a sentence for trespassing with intent to burglarize. Some sources also claim that the fugitive has a history of sexual offenses, and the Metropolitan Police claim that they were only notified of this mistake yesterday.France: This morning a vehicle ramming attack was carried out on Île d'Oléron, a small island tourist destination on the west coast of France. Many people were wounded after an attacker deliberately drove his vehicle into a crowd. 2x people remain in critical condition, and 9x others were wounded during the attack. The assailant has not yet been identified, however locals state that he was known to local police.-HomeFront-Kentucky: Overnight the casualty count regarding yesterday's plane crash rose to a total of 11x fatalities as several people remain missing. As of this morning, the fires are mostly out, and firefighters remained on the scene throughout much of the day. The main structures that the plane crashed in to on the ground were the Ford auto factory, as well as UPS's own logistics hub that serviced the airport. As a result, this major regional package sorting facility will be offline for some time.USA: Around the United States, the rollup of yesterday's election resulted in a near total victory for Democrat candidates across the board. Zohran Mamdani was elected Mayor of New York City by a wide margin, and Abigail Spanberger won the Governorship in Virginia. Also in Virginia, Ghasala Hashmi won the election for Lieutenant Governor, making her the first Muslim woman to hold the office in state history. Jay Jones also won his election for Attorney General, despite the scandal during his campaign surrounding his comments calling for the murder of his enemy's wife and children in a text exchange. Analyst Comment: Jones also quite literally tried to kick a dog at a polling place on election day, which although a unique campaign tactic, didn't seem to hurt his election chances either.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the United Kingdom, the most concerning detail of the second-migrant-release case is that this release took place on October 29th. Per their statements, the Met only found out about this release yesterday afternoon, almost a full week after the criminal was released.This situation was also made worse by comments made (or rather, not made) during the Prime Minister's Questions session in Parliament yesterday. Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy was hounded by a few MPs for refusing to answer the question of whether or not any more migrants had accidentally been released since the Kebatu case came to light. After his refusal to answer this question the first time, this ballooned into him being pressed again and again, resulting in him refusing to answer the simple question roughly half a dozen times. At that moment, it didn't make much sense as to why this level of resistance was offered up by Lammy, or why he became so belligerent at this specific question being asked. After all he could just say "not that I'm aware of" and move on, no big deal. Instead, he became quite belligerent to the point that this may have been the indicator for something else.Consequently, this morning the picture became more clear...at the exact moment that he was answering questions in Parlia

To listen to the full episode consider becoming a donor to the Munk Debates for as little as $25 annually, or $.50 per episode. Canadian donors receive a charitable tax receipt. After weeks of hype Mark Carney's government presented a disappointing traditional Liberal big spending budget. While there are incremental measures to promote economic growth, they are not in the order of what this country needs, and in a few years we are going to be borrowing money just to pay the interest on our debt. Andrew offers a charitable take: we are in an immediate crisis, and Mark Carney decided to implement an interventionist budget in the short term to ride out the Trump craziness. Regardless, this was a missed opportunity to introduce radical tax and competition reform that is badly needed to jumpstart our economy. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Andrew assess the political fallout from the budget, specifically a Conservative MP crossing the floor to the Liberals and rumours that others are set to follow suit. Could Mark Carney soon have a majority government? And why are MPs not talking to their constituents before crossing party lines?

A meeting between battling factions in Te Pāti Māori's closer to being a reality. The party's faced weeks of turmoil and infighting, culminating in party president John Tamihere calling for the resignation of MPs Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Tākuta Ferris. The party's leadership has agreed to a meeting next week to work through the issues with its MPs. Iwi leaders met with Takuta Ferris today. Ngāti Kahungunu chair Bayden Barber says Ferris has agreed to attend, but he's yet to hear from Kapa-Kingi. "There's still a glimmer of hope, and that's what we're latching on to. We've asked to bring our huis at the marae, if we can get there before it all falls to bits, that would be the best outcome." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prime Minister's Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister or a nominated minister. In most cases, the session starts with a routine 'open question' from an MP about the Prime Minister's engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.

World Health Organisation figures say one in six people are affected by infertility. Fertility Matters at Work, who provide training for fertility support in the workplace, have published a cost analysis. They have explored the economic impact of not providing time off for fertility treatment - not only on those people directly involved in seeking help, but on businesses and the economy more widely.

The 19-year-old, who is eight months pregnant, is from Billingham in Teesside. She was arrested at Tbilisi airport after police found drugs in her luggage and had been held in Georgia on drug trafficking charges since May. Before news of her release, Nuala spoke to Rayhan Demytrie, BBC News Caucasus correspondent, outside the court.The case of Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing US health insurance CEO Brian Thompson, is one of the most closely followed legal cases of recent years. The 26-year old-was arrested in December and accused of shooting Mr Thompson, a father of two, outside a Manhattan hotel. He faces the charges of murder and stalking, charges which Mangione denies. While the case continues, something else has been happening. Mangione has attracted an intense, mostly female online following: people sharing pictures of him, writing letters, posting fan edits and memes, and debating his appearance and behaviour in forensic detail. So why does a man accused of violence become the object of fascination and even desire to some women? And what does that say about the digital age we're living in? Nuala talks to Professor David Wilson, criminologist and former prison governor, and Faye Curran, journalist at The New Statesman, who has immersed herself in Mangione's online fandom.Anyone watching Celebrity Traitors at the moment, or indeed the previous Traitors series, has probably noted Claudia Winkleman's iconic looks that seem to sum up both chilly Scottish castle chic and punk power dressing with a smidge of sinister gothic Victorian melodrama thrown into the mix. Claudia's stylist, Sinead McKeefry, has a huge following online by people keen to pick up tips. The power of social media is such that when items are worn by Claudia and flagged online, it can have quite an impact, as small-business owner Lauren Aston found when one of her designs appeared on the show. She joins Nuala to explain what has happened, as does Alison Lynch, head of content at Good Housekeeping Magazine, who has not only written about the Claudia fashion phenomenon, but has even dressed as Claudia in the Traitors herself for a week.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Andrea Kidd

A cross party group of MPs are warning that UK food production could drop by almost a third, by 2050. The All Party Parliamentary Group on Science and Technology in Agriculture also says that by 2050 - assuming all Government targets were met in full - almost a quarter of current UK farmland could be used for other purposes including renewable energy, housing, and nature restoration. The group is publishing a report today calling for the most productive farmland to be protected and for output to increase 30%, with 50% less environmental impact by 2050.The Ulster Farmers Union says it has no confidence in Northern Ireland's Department for Agriculture, Environment, and Rural Affairs. The UFU says DAERA's handling of a range of issues, from TB in cattle to a Nutrients Action Programme aimed at improving water quality with better management of manure and fertilisers , has led to 'deep dissatisfaction' among its members.

The finance minister has new shoes, and tomorrow the new government will release its first budget. The pressure from the U.S. trade war is immense, and this is the government's first fiscal update in almost a year. Prime Minister Mark Carney is promising a “generational” budget – one that will reset Canada's economy. But the Liberals are three seats short of a majority – so they need to convince other MPs to agree on the path they set out.And: Fighting, fear, and famine.

The walls are closing in on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. After being stripped of his royal titles and style of “Prince,” the disgraced Duke now faces renewed calls for a full police investigation into his ties to Jeffrey Epstein — and a fresh move from King Charles to remove his last remaining honour: his Vice Admiral rank in the Royal Navy.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew here.Former prosecutor Nazir Afzal says “this matter hasn't been investigated, never mind taken any further,” while MPs accuse the system of “two-tier justice.” Across the Atlantic, U.S. lawmakers are warning Andrew to cooperate with Congress — or be compelled to testify.Inside the palace, courtiers call it the moment that revealed “the King's steel.” And with public opinion on the monarchy falling to record lows, royal commentators say this scandal could redefine the institution itself.Plus: William and Kate quietly move homes, Meghan Markle posts — and deletes — a suspiciously timed photo, and even the Queen's corgis are caught up in the chaos.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Thrust onto the public stage at 15 years old after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life, Malala Yousafzai became an international icon for resilience and bravery. Described as a reflection on a life of a woman finally taking charge of her destiny, her memoir Finding My Way has just been published. She joins Anita Rani in the Woman's Hour studio.There's a call to compensate women caught up in the scandal of faulty breast implants manufactured by a French company. The PIP scandal happened in 2012 when it emerged that the implants were filled with industrial silicone instead of medical grade silicone. The implants are far more likely to rupture than others. MPs on the Women's and Equalities Committee have been hearing calls for compensation during their inquiry into the health impacts of breast implants and other cosmetic procedures. Jan Spivey from PIP Action Campaign and Professor Carl Heneghan from The Centre for Evidence Based Medicine join us to discuss this.What if all your dreams come true and you still find yourself a bit grumpy? That's the brilliantly blunt question at the heart of Laura Smyth's stand-up tour, Born Aggy. Laura's journey into comedy wasn't exactly textbook.

As Sir Keir Starmer's leadership of the Labour party comes under increasing pressure and criticism, we profile a man who may well be waiting in the wings. Andy Burnham, a Labour stalwart who started his political career in the Blair and Brown era, seems determined to have his say in the party's future too. Last month, he caused a political storm when he was widely interpreted as openly challenging Sir Keir Starmer's authority during the party conference, confirming that MPs had contacted him about returning to Westminster to run for the party leadership. It's not his first brush with the Labour leadership - he lost two contests in the 2010s before leaving Westminster to win the Greater Manchester mayoralty, a role which has further increased his profile and earned him the nickname ‘King of the North', a nod to his popularity within the region. Stephen Smith speaks to his friends, family and political peers to find out what shaped one of the most influential figures in today's Labour party, and whether his criticism of the government could propel him to the top job, or keep him from it.

NEW! Support your strength and muscle goals with PUORI Creatine+ — a clean, effective creatine monohydrate supplement enhanced with taurine. Get 20% off at puori.com/VANESSA In this masterclass episode, Vanessa sits down with Dr. David Church, one of the most exciting young researchers in protein metabolism and a mentee of Dr. Arny Ferrando and Dr. Robert Wolfe. Together, they break down the latest science on protein timing, distribution, and supplementation — and how to apply it to achieve fat loss, preserve muscle, and enhance cognition. You'll learn: • How stable isotope tracer studies work and what they reveal about muscle protein synthesis (MPS). • The minimum protein per meal needed to trigger muscle growth and repair — and whether you can hit it with two meals a day. • The truth about intermittent fasting and muscle preservation — what happens to MPS in 2-meal and 1-meal-a-day patterns. • Why older adults and women over 40 face anabolic resistance and how EAAs (essential amino acids) can help overcome it. • What happens when you double your protein intake from 0.8 g/kg to 1.6 g/kg — and why distribution may matter less than total intake. • The surprising power of small doses of EAAs in muscle maintenance and cognitive support. • Why creatine is foundational for women, including new research showing benefits for brain health and sleep deprivation. • How to optimize body recomposition — burning fat while protecting lean mass — even during calorie restriction. • The difference between supplemental vs. replacement nutrition, and why EAAs work for older adults with low appetite. • The synergy of protein + resistance training + sleep + activity in driving sustainable fat loss. OneSkin is powered by the breakthrough peptide OS-01, the first ingredient proven to reduce skin's biological age. I use the OS-01 Face and Eye formulas daily—they've transformed my skin's smoothness, firmness, and glow.
