This week I'm coming to you from Northern Ireland, where I've been enjoying some much-needed family time, beach walks, and board games... it's felt a bit like summer Christmas! While driving here (with the dog and baby in tow), I started thinking about how the choices we make, even the smallest ones, are constantly shaping our future. If we live on autopilot, nothing changes. But the minute we do something different, even slightly, we shift timelines. This episode dives into exactly that: how your present actions define your future, how to break free from repetitive routines, and how one small, aligned step can change everything.I also get into the power of energy behind your actions, why the comfort zone can be so misleading, and how to work with your brain's fear of the unknown instead of against it. Whether it's fear, habit, or just being stuck in “meh,” I'll show you how to shift your energy, create momentum, and start designing a life you're actually excited about. If you've been waiting for a sign to shake things up... this is it. Your next-level life is just one choice away!www.mani-fest.uk

About ‘War Horse' The National Theatre's acclaimed production is now on a major UK & Ireland Tour.  War Horse is an unforgettable theatrical experience which takes audiences on an extraordinary journey from the fields of rural Devon to the trenches of First World War France. Based on the beloved novel by Michael Morpurgo, this powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness. At its heart are astonishing life-sized horses by South Africa's Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage. At the outbreak of World War One, Joey, young Albert's beloved horse, is sold to the Cavalry and shipped to France. He's soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in No Man's Land. Albert, who remained on his parents' Devon farm, cannot forget Joey. Though still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find Joey and bring him home.

The National Farmers Union says the fight over inheritance tax on farms is not over, despite the publication of draft legislation which shows that the government isn't backing down. Campaigners against the re-impostion of the tax, which will be levied at 20 per cent on assets over a million pounds from April next year had hoped that the government would, at least, change aspects of the policy. The Government argues that its a fair tax which the majority of farm businesses either won't be liable for, or can plan for. A record breaking wet winter has been followed by a record breaking dry spring and early summer in many parts of the UK - with three heatwaves thrown in for good measure. So managing water has become a huge challenge for farmers, which we're exploring all this week on the programme. And, traditional Eel fishermen on Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland have said they're cancelling their season, and one of the factors they blame is water pollution. It comes as the Northern Ireland Executive has proposed more stringent measures to reduce run off from farms, which are strongly opposed by the Ulster Farmers Union.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Sarah Swadling

Britain's Broken Police System! (Part 1) Black Spy Podcast, 203, Season 21, Episode 0004 Over the next two weeks the black spy Podcast will look into Britain's broken policing system with former Metropolitan Police officer - Karl. The British policing system is increasingly seen as broken — caught between ideological pressures, a hostile media, disengaged politicians, and internal dysfunction. Once a globally respected model of "policing by consent," UK policing is now the perennial "whipping boy" of the British media, frequently lambasted from all sides. This criticism is partly due to a cultural shift where trust in institutions has declined, but also because policing uniquely occupies a frontline position in enforcing state power — a role that makes it ripe for both legitimate scrutiny and sensationalist scapegoating. Unlike in many other countries, British politicians rarely champion the police. In the United States or France, political leaders across the spectrum often vocally support their law enforcement institutions, viewing them as essential to national identity and internal security. In contrast, UK politicians tend to distance themselves from the police when controversy arises, often feeding public cynicism rather than countering it. This absence of political backing leaves police officers demoralised and vulnerable to being thrown "under the bus" in times of crisis, rather than being defended or constructively supported. Popular media plays a significant role in shaping public perceptions. British television dramas and films frequently portray police as racist, misogynist, or institutionally corrupt. While some of these representations are rooted in real scandals, if incomplete understandings such events as the Stephen Lawrence case, the mishandling of rape investigations, or the behaviour of some Metropolitan Police officers — the fictional depiction often magnifies these issues with 1960's and 70's generalised stereotypes of police actions that are now way reflective of modern British policing. This creates a public narrative that all officers are morally compromised, poorly trained, or socially regressive, further damaging morale and recruitment. Moreover, policing is a dangerous job, but unlike their colleagues in practically every other police service in the world including the British province of Northern Ireland, mainland British police officers generally have no firearm with which to defend themselves and the public with. As 98% of British are constantly unarmed. At the same time, UK policing is accused of becoming excessively “woke.” Forces are encouraged to demonstrate social awareness on issues like diversity, inclusion, and gender identity. Critics argue that time spent on symbolic gestures — like dancing at Pride or policing social media posts — detracts from crime prevention and erodes public confidence. However, police are also under relentless scrutiny from every political angle: derided by the left for being oppressive, and by the right for being too politically correct. This contradictory environment makes effective leadership and consistent operational focus nearly impossible. Recruitment and retention have become serious problems. Policing is no longer seen as a desirable career: the risks are high, pay is relatively low, public respect is diminishing, and the threat of professional ruin following a viral video or policy misstep is ever-present. Consequently, many experienced officers are leaving, while entry standards have been lowered to fill vacancies. Complex educational entry requirements, meant to professionalise the service, have ironically deterred candidates who may be strong in practical, frontline aptitude but not academically inclined. Internally, management within many forces has become overly bureaucratic, with senior officers often unwilling to support their junior colleagues. Fear of reputational damage and media backlash means command staff are more likely to criticise rank-and-file officers than defend them. This top-down culture promotes self-preservation over solidarity and weakens operational cohesion. In sum, British policing today is a system adrift — politically abandoned, socially caricatured, ideologically pulled in all directions, and professionally undermined. Without cultural, political and managerial reform, trust in the police will continue to erode, and with it, the very foundations of public safety and civic order.

In this episode, we sit down with author and historian Forest Issac Jones to discuss his new book Good Trouble: The Selma, Alabama and Derry, Northern Ireland Connection 1963–1972. This powerful work uncovers the striking parallels between two seemingly distant civil rights struggles—across the American South and the streets of Northern Ireland. Forest walks us through the political, cultural, and spiritual ties that united these movements, from shared strategies of nonviolence to government crackdowns and the enduring power of grassroots resistance.

Disrupt the conversation so they keep making bad decisions over and over again, because we are back for our seventh season of new/old Wie is de Mol episodes - and we're going all the way back to 2009's offering in Northern Ireland & Jordan! Over these nine weeks, three guys who are just writing what happened in the game at this point - Logan, Michael & Bindles - are recapping and looking back at all that happened on a titanic season that people have been asking us to do for years, continuing with the fourth episode and elimination of Paula. In this episode - Bindles saves a story, Michael avoids a lecture, we wonder if it's a conscious choice to eulogise people the following week, a very topical joke is made, Sebastiaan writes funny, Logan faces a very in-tents family trip, the zero box is mislabelled, the pinball challenge is atypical, we wonder if Carrick-a-Rede would make an appearance nowadays, there's a genuine lack of health & safety, Pieter Jan's reaction to Paula's red screen is revealed, Paula gets eulogised, the country change is kept secret and Logan locks in his first pair of suspects. Thank you for listening - we will see you next week for Episode 5! Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. As with our coverage of Seasons 11, 14, 16 & 17, there are no spoilers due to Logan not having seen the season before. However, any season we have already covered (WIDM 10-11, 14, 16-25 and Renaissance; België 4-13) is fair game though. This episode is supported by our friends over at Zencastr.

Travel journalist Simon Calder talks to Nolan.

Baroness Margaret Hodge tells Nuala McGovern why she thinks routine mammograms should be extended to women over 70. The former Labour MP was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 80. She requested a mammogram after realising she hadn't been invited to have one in nearly a decade. Routine screening is currently only available in the UK for women aged 50-70. As England's Lionesses prepare for their Euro 2025 semi-final with Italy tonight, their efforts have been overshadowed by the racial abuse suffered by defender Jess Carter. The team's decided not to take the knee against racism in tonight's game, with coach Sarina Wiegman saying her players feel the gesture isn't 'good enough.' Now the head of Sport England, Chris Boardman, has written to Ofcom to express "deep concern" over the abuse directed at England's women's football team on social media. He joins Nuala, along with former Lioness and now pundit Lianne Sanderson. Campaigners in Northern Ireland want the way Victim Personal Statements are dealt with in courts there to change. At the moment people do not have the automatic right to read their own statements as part of the judicial process. Nuala talks to Commissioner Designate for Victims of Crime Northern Ireland, Geraldine Hanna, and campaigner Julieanne Boyle, who didn't get the opportunity to address the court during her case and wants to see a change for other victims. Georgina Moore's second novel River of Stars is set in a floating community on the Thames. A romance and family saga spanning three generations of women, it was inspired by her own move from self-confessed ‘ageing party girl' to houseboat mum. Georgina joins Nuala in the Woman's Hour studio to talk about island life and writing on the water.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Sarah Jane Griffiths

Scottie Scheffler is the 2025 Champion Golfer of the Year after securing his fourth major title with a Sunday 68 at Royal Portrush. Andy and Brendan spend the first half of this episode putting Scheffler's run into some historical context following his win, placing him a U.S. Open win away from the career slam at just 29 years old. The two break down his round and the skills he showed throughout the week that enabled him to separate from the rest of the field in Northern Ireland. The back half of this recap touches on basically the rest of the field, as Andy's "Storylines Nobody's Talking About" include Rory McIlroy winning "Low Holywood," a Sunday storm hitting Westy Island, plenty of Wikipedia Top Tens, and Kevin Kisner blaming the UGSA for Wyndham Clark's Oakmont incident. There's also plenty of course takeaways from Royal Portrush, and Brendan ends this week of coverage with a little game from his time on the grounds at the 2025 Open.

Kirsty Lang referees a contest between The North of England and Northern Ireland.

Ann broadcasts from The Open Championship at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland and previews the Final Round, visits with Paul Vaughn, Dir. of Golf, Ardglass Golf Club, and with Stephen Ferris, Int'l Rugby player, member of Royal Portrush, about the intricacies of the links gem and surrounding area and courses.

In what may come as a surprise to no one, Scottie Scheffler's bogey-free 67 has him four clear of the field heading into Sunday at Royal Portrush. Andy and Brendan recap more excellence from the No. 1 player in the world and set the scene for what could be his fourth major win on Sunday. They play a quick game of Contender/Pretender with Haotong Li and Matt Fitzpatrick before Brendan unpacks a day walking with Rory McIlroy in Northern Ireland. The two attempt to contextualize what Rory means to the fans at Royal Portrush and what playing this event in his home country may mean to him coming off the career slam. They wonder if Rory has a chance of chasing down the Sheriff tomorrow, but are unsure if anyone can even reach Scottie's current mark of -14. In "Storylines Nobody's Talking About," Andy highlights Matt Jordan's everlasting battle against par, Georgia Bulldogs feeling right at home, and a new musical heading to Broadway in September. Brendan wraps this show up with tales from the pub with Dick Teder and an update on Joseph LaMagna's TikTok stardom.

Moving Day at the 153rd Open Championship was everything we could have hoped for, and more! Smylie Kaufman spent the day listening to     roars (RORS?) echoing across Northern Ireland, as their native son Rory McIlroy mounted a charge that sees him in the penultimate group on Sunday. Smylie joins Charlie Hulme to explore any possible scenario that doesn't see Scottie Scheffler hoisting the Claret Jug, as the World No. 1 holds a four-shot lead, and has executed his gameplan to perfection at Royal Portrush. SK gives his notes on Haotong Li after watching him post a two-under 69 on Saturday to join Scottie in the final group, while exploring the possibility that two current Ryder Cup outsiders - Matt Fitzpatrick and Chris Gotterup - could find their way onto their respective teams with a top-five finish. Hear Smylie's predictions on the winning score and how it all could play out on Sunday at the Open, and join us here tomorrow for a full recap of the final major of 2025!

Rory fields questions from TPC Sawgrass as he prepped for The Players while Andy Johnson and Brendan Porath were across the Atlantic in his home country acquainting themselves with the golf culture and a few of the world class courses that Rory came to know in his earliest days as a junior standout. He also explains this golden age of pro golf success for the island, which boasts five different major winners since 2007 after a 60-year drought. There's also plenty of banter and insight into what it was like growing up at Holywood, how different it is now as a big shot on the PGA Tour, and much more.
