Arsenal came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 at the Emirates in a dramatic London derby, extending their perfect Premier League start. Morgan Rogers gave Chelsea an early lead with a first-time volley, but Kai Havertz equalised against his old club before Martin Ødegaard's clinical second-half finish sealed the win. David Raya's late save preserved the three points as the champions showed character and control.This episode breaks down the full match, Arsenal's superior xG, standout performances from Havertz, Ødegaard, Christos Tzolis and Declan Rice, and what the result means for both sides under Mikel Arteta and Xabi Alonso. We also dive deep into Havertz's unique hybrid false-nine role, how his movement, link-up play, pressing and intelligence make him central to Arsenal's title-defending system, even with new forwards arriving.Plus: the inspiring story of teenage winger Lisa Baum. The Tanzanian-born, German-raised Arsenal Women signing scored a spectacular debut winner against Brighton in the WSL opener, dedicated the goal to her late brother, and instantly announced herself as one to watch.We close with Arsenal's deep cultural connection to Notting Hill Carnival, how the club's Black and Caribbean heritage, iconic kits and community ties turn the streets of West London into a celebration of identity every August.What are you expecting from Arsenal this season?

This morning the discussion with Jermey Kyle started as thousands of dangerous criminals will be lined up for early release, it's revealed today. Stalkers, domestic abusers on 'indefinite' sentences - all up to walk the streets again because politicians apparently can't figure out how to manage prison capacity! Andy Burnham and the government taking heat left, right, and center for ignoring the risk to the public!Even Prison governors are now saying that prisoners being freed early are walking right back into jail at a rapid rate! It's a revolving door! They get out, commit another crime, and walk right back in.Now, there is one bit of common sense today: after an absolute outcry from the public, a massive U-turn! Two of the killers of hero PC Andrew Harper will NOT be freed under the early release scheme. But why did it take a public uproar for ministers to realise that releasing violent cop killers early was an insult to his memory?! The Conservative party is reshuffling the deckchairs again! Tom Tugendhat steps in to replace Priti Patel as Shadow Foreign Secretary. Meanwhile James Cleverly has thrown down the gauntlet to become London Mayor! He says if he wins London, he's ending Sadiq Khan's 'war on motorists' once and for all! LTNs, ULEZ, endless roadworks. Is this music to your ears? And finally... Day One of the Notting Hill Carnival also known as family day and guess what? 169 arrests! Drugs, dangerous weapons, sexual offenses... every single year we hear the same promises about safety, and every year the police are left trying to clean up the chaos.Wake up with Talk Breakfast in full on YouTube, DAB+ radio, Samsung TV Plus or the Talk App on your TV from 6am every morning.

The Notting Hill Carnival began in the sixties as a celebration of the culture of Britain's Windrush generation - but as the tradition has swelled there are issues of overcrowding and violence. Critics question the policing costs, which run into the tens of millions. With the future of Carnival now a political lightning rod, how long can the party go on?This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

Annie and Nick are reunited after four weeks apart, and there's a lot to catch up on. As they recall their separate summer holiday adventures – Annie's was rustic, Nick's involved a medical emergency that required intervention from Charli XCX – they discover a mutual summer theme of heatwaves, football and steroid injections. The pair finally discuss all the biggest album releases, what it's like to watch football in a pub with Olivia Dean, why Annie might have levitated while listening to the new Phoebe Bridgers album, and what they both thought of the World Cup halftime show after having weeks to think about it. Elsewhere, Kacey Musgraves keeps her promise about giant mirror balls, Madonna dominates the VMAs with 11 nominations, and Reading & Leeds have dropped the BBC Introducing stage, which leads to valid questions about nepo babies in music – can they escape the shadow of famous parents? Annie provides listeners with her guide to surviving Notting Hill Carnival, and both Annie and Nick begin to wonder if the Sidetracked studio is haunted. Contains strong language. Given the recent sad news about Dolly Parton, Annie and Nick are asking for your personal tributes to the musical legend to include in next week's episode. We'd love to give you a chance to send in your thoughts, voice notes, tributes, favourite Dolly memories, reactions, anything to say what Dolly meant to you.

Love is the Message returns from our summer break just in time for the Bank Holiday Weekend, which in London means one thing: Carnival. In this episode Jeremy and Tim cover the history of Notting Hill Carnival, the largest such event in Europe. They discuss patterns of Caribbean migration to the UK, traditions of carnival from Ancient Greece to Trinidad and Rio, and the particular story of Notting Hill, with its steel bands, dub sound systems, parade and party. They return to Lovers Rock, consider legendary stages like Aba Shanti, Good Times and Saxon, and interrogate how Bakhtinian and Deleuzian ideas can be applied to this unique expression of Black British culture. Plus: David Mancuso in Trinidad, and a young Jeremy tries to buy Pass the Dutchie. If you're going to Carnival this weekend, enjoy yourself and take plenty of water!Patreon.com/LoveMessagePodLoveisthemessagepod.co.ukProduced by Matt HuxleyTracklist:Laurel Aitkin - Boogie in my Bones Hells Gate Steel Orchestra - Ah Love It Here Sir Coxson - King of the Dubb Rock Louisa Mark - Caught You in a Lie ASWAD - Concrete Slaveship Smiley Culture - Cockney Translation Papa Levi - Mi God Mi King Ted Taylor - Ghetto Disco (Norman Jay Edit) Cajmere - Brighter Days Aba Shanti-I - Zulu Warrior Moliy x Shenseea x Skillibeng - Shake It To The Max

Where did Carnival really come from? Was it created in Europe, Africa, the Caribbean—or was the Carnival we know today created through the meeting of several different cultures?In this episode of The Oracle 19 Podcast, we explore the fascinating history and origins of Carnival. We go back centuries to examine European pre-Lenten celebrations, African festivals and masquerade traditions, the transatlantic slave trade, colonialism, emancipation, and the development of Caribbean Carnival.We take a closer look at Trinidad and Tobago, where African descendants transformed Carnival into a powerful expression of freedom, resistance, music, dance and cultural identity. We discuss Canboulay, Mas, calypso, steelpan and Soca—and how these traditions helped create the Carnival experience recognized around the world today.We also explore the development of Brazil's Carnival, the rise of samba, and how Caribbean migration carried Carnival traditions to Toronto's Caribana, New York City's Caribbean Carnival and London's Notting Hill Carnival.Carnival is much more than beautiful costumes, dancing and partying. Behind the celebration is a complicated history involving religion, slavery, African cultural survival, colonialism, resistance, emancipation and freedom.So who really created Carnival? And how did a centuries-old tradition become one of the world's largest cultural celebrations?Join The Oracle 19 Podcast as we uncover The Real History of Carnival: Where Did It Come From?Podcast: Sunday, Monday, and ThursdayLINKS:⁠⁠⁠https://www.officialmoringamagic.com/#aff=enamul33 ⁠⁠⁠ moringa pillsMasonic Regalia and Jewelry Wholesale Prices | Bricks Masons https://bit.ly/4a2nn4DThe Encyclopedia of Power Foods- Latest2024!

In this monthly episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas returns with his August edition of What's On in London — and this one comes with a personal twist, because Jonathan will be in London himself later in the month. August is London's most contradictory month: the busiest tourist season of the year, a million-plus visitors, packed attractions and carnival streets — and yet simultaneously the month when Londoners themselves flee to Cornwall and France, leaving whole districts strangely quiet. Jonathan covers it all: the Notting Hill Carnival (August 30–31, its 60th anniversary this year, Europe's largest street festival, free entry); the major royal and historic building openings including Buckingham Palace State Rooms, Houses of Parliament summer tours, and the freshly restored Banqueting House reopening August 1st; London's brand new museum, Trent Park House of Secrets — just opened July 21st, telling the extraordinary wartime spy story that was kept under the Official Secrets Act for over 50 years; new West End openings including Jane Eyre the Musical and Kimberly Akimbo; the blockbuster exhibitions still running and closing this month; live music at Victoria Park and Wembley; family-friendly highlights; the VAT tourist discount reducing admission prices across major attractions this summer; and Jonathan's own personal list of what he's booked and planning to see — including the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace's East Wing tour, the Wallace Collection's Churchill as Painter exhibition, and Trent Park.

The Saturday Steel Band Competition (August 29) requires a ticket; Sunday Children's Day and Monday main parade are free. Arrive early, follow your nose to the food stalls, and keep your wits about you in the crowds. Trent Park House of Secrets — London's brand new museum, opened July 21st — tells the extraordinary story of the WWII intelligence operation where 59 captured German generals were housed in apparent luxury, never knowing the entire house was bugged. Often called "the other Bletchley Park." Tickets are £14 (~$20), open Tuesday–Sunday, and it's on the Piccadilly Line at Oakwood station. Jonathan is going. Buckingham Palace State Rooms are open daily through August 31, 9:30am to 7:30pm — the longest opening hours of the season. Jonathan has booked both the State Rooms tour and the newly opened East Wing tour. If you haven't booked yet, check for remaining availability immediately; the best slots are gone but cancellations do appear. Banqueting House on Whitehall — Inigo Jones's 1622 masterpiece with its Rubens ceiling, the building outside which Charles I was executed — reopens fully on August 1st after a major restoration. Adults £10, under 16s free, open Thursday–Monday. New lift for step-free access. One of London's most underrated experiences. The Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London — the world's oldest unbroken military ceremony, performed every night for at least 700 years — releases the next month's tickets on the first working day of each month. The next release is August 3rd at 1pm. Jonathan got a ticket; it requires an early wake-up and sells out within hours of release. The UK government has instituted a 15% VAT discount on tourist attraction admissions this summer — which means lower prices at major London attractions. If you booked in advance, you may be entitled to a partial refund for the difference; check with each venue. Lower prices also means slightly larger crowds. The Greenwich + Docklands International Festival runs August 21 to September 6 — 17 days of completely free outdoor theatre, circus and dance across Greenwich Park, Woolwich, and the Docklands. The two-day Greenwich Fair on August 22–23 in Greenwich Park is the unmissable centerpiece. No ticket required — just show up. Several major exhibitions close on or around August 23rd — a critical date. Zurbarán at the National Gallery, Fairy Tales at the British Library, David Hockney at the Royal Academy, Hervien Anderson at Tate Britain, and Patrick Caulfield at the Royal Academy all close that day. If you're arriving after August 23rd, these are gone. The BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall run all month and into September — the world's largest classical music festival, with day-of standing tickets potentially available on the door. Jonathan hasn't managed to go yet and still wants to. It's worth trying even if you can't book ahead. August in London is genuinely two cities at once: over a million tourists fill the attractions and the carnival streets, while large swaths of residential London go quiet as locals escape. The wise visitor uses this: the tourist attractions are busy, but the parks, the residential neighborhoods, and the early mornings are surprisingly peaceful. Soundbites "August is London's most contradictory month. Every guidebook tells you it's peak season — and every guidebook is right. And yet at exactly the same time, London kind of empties out. Locals flee to Cornwall, to France, to anywhere that isn't a stuffy office in a heat wave. Whole districts can go completely quiet." — Jonathan on August's strange duality. "The Notting Hill Carnival is that one weekend where London's multicultural and diverse character — which can feel oddly invisible at other times of the year — is front and center. It's loud. It's joyful. And it's entirely free." — Jonathan on why the carnival matters. "They captured high-level German officers and put them all in one place. What the prisoners didn't know was that the entire house was wired with microphones. And hidden in a concealed basement, around a hundred secret listeners — many of them German-speaking Jewish refugees who had fled the Nazis — were recording and transcribing every careless word." — Jonathan on Trent Park House of Secrets. "I have wanted to go inside Buckingham Palace for twenty years. I'm finally doing it this year. I've got my tickets booked. I'm going to do the State Room tour, I'm going to see the freshly rehung picture gallery, and I've booked the East Wing tour. That is going to take a whole Saturday. I cannot wait." — Jonathan on his long-awaited Buckingham Palace visit. "The Ceremony of the Keys is considered the world's longest military ceremony. They say it's been running for a thousand years — I'm skeptical, but at least as long as there's been a Tower of London. I woke up early and managed to snag a ticket before they sold out. Because they do sell out immediately." — Jonathan on booking the Ceremony of the Keys. "Banqueting House. Inigo Jones's masterpiece on Whitehall, with its Rubens ceiling. The one surviving fragment of the old Palace of Whitehall — the very spot where Charles I was executed in 1649. It reopens for the summer on August 1st. That is a lot of history in one place." — Jonathan on Banqueting House reopening. "The government has instituted a fifteen percent discount off the twenty percent VAT for tourists visiting tourist attractions this summer. So this month you will see lower prices at all of London's major tourist attractions. And if you booked in advance, you should be getting a refund." — Jonathan on the summer VAT tourist discount. "I love Star Trek. I have seen every episode of Star Trek dozens of times. You can't see over there, but I'm building the LEGO Enterprise D model right now. And I'm going to go see this exhibition because it's the 60th anniversary and the producers don't seem to want to celebrate it much — but everybody else is." — Jonathan on his plan to visit the Star Trek at 60 Trail at the Science Museum. "Several things close on August 23rd. I'm arriving after August 23rd. So I'm going to miss the David Hockney, the Zurbarán, the Tracey Emin. It's a bit annoying. But it is what it is." — Jonathan on the painful August 23rd exhibition closing cliff. "If you see a slightly sun-birthed Anglophile wandering the food stalls at one of the festivals going on later in August — do say hello. It might just be me." — Jonathan's closing invitation.

This week, The Photowalk explores the story of Notting Hill Carnival through the people who have lived it, photographed it and helped shape it over the decades. My lead guest is photographer Wayne Crichlow, co-author of Carnival of Resistance, a remarkable new book documenting Carnival through the eyes of those who know it best. Along the way, our conversation takes some unexpected turns. We meet London documentary photographer Sam Shervington, whose grandmother, Barbara, was there during Carnival's formative years, and Wilf Walker OBE, a music promoter whose story spans from the early days of Notting Hill Carnival to the fields of Glastonbury. Also today, we talk of Charlie Phillips, whose camera created one of the most important visual records of London's Caribbean community. We look back at the Mangrove Nine, discover the traditions behind J'ouvert and Jab Jab, and meet some of the people whose lives have become woven into the history of Carnival itself. Read more about our photographic adventures on our photography travel website, The Journey Beyond. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week and Arthelper.ai, giving photographers smart tools to plan, promote, and manage your creative projects more easily.

John L Williams in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Heatwave-Summer-Britain-Boiling-Point/dp/1800961715 With temperatures soaring to 35ºC, severe water shortages and a sunburned population queuing at the standpipes, the summer of 1976 was always remembered as Britain's hottest. But the wave that hit the UK that year was also cultural and political, with upheaval on the streets, in parliament, on the cricket pitch and on the radios and TV sets of a nation at a crossroads. Before this blistering summer, Britain seemed stuck in the post-war era, a country where people were all in it together - as long as you were white, male and straight. In July, Tom Robinson writes a song called Glad to be Gay, and by August bank holiday, Black youth are making the police run for their lives in the almighty riot at the Notting Hill Carnival. But with the Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson suddenly quitting, the pound sinking and the economy tanking, a restless immigrant population and increasing dissatisfaction in the old world order, the weather seemed to boil up the country to the point where the lid blows off. Weaving a rich tapestry of the news stories of the year, with social commentary and dozens of first-person interviews with those that were there at the time, Williams's reappraisal of the summer of '76 is an evocative, sometimes nostalgic but always an unflinching read. Heatwave takes us back to relive the events of that summer and asks - have we really moved on as much as we would have liked?

Think of Katy Perry in her video for This Is How We Do, Madonna in a traditional Berber outfit at the 2018 VMA awards, or Adele with her hair in Bantu knots to mark Notting Hill Carnival, this is cultural appropriation. It's a practice which has caused regular controversy in the world of pop culture. Most often, white artists are accused of using ideas, symbols or other items which come from non-Western minority cultures. The definition of cultural appropriation itself is somewhat controversial, with many saying it is often misapplied by the general public. Its meaning has evolved over time to have negative connotations. t's problematic when someone belonging to a dominant community uses cultural elements from an oppressed people, for their own artistic or commercial benefit. In 1976, art historian Kenneth Coutts-Smith wrote one of the first essays to discuss cultural appropriation. He didn't actually use the term itself, but brought together the ideas of class appropriation and cultural colonialism. What is cultural appropriation? What's wrong with mixing cultures? So what could they do differently? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

UK's Toughest Cop: Kevin Hurley Unloads on Migrants, Riots, FGM & Notting Hill  #KevinHurley #NottingHillCarnival #FGM #TwoTierPolicing #UKPolitics #JonGaunt  Former top cop Kevin Hurley joins Jon Gaunt for a no-holds-barred interview that takes aim at the UK's political and policing failures.  A former Borough Commander for Hammersmith and Fulham, Hurley has policed everything from the Notting Hill Carnival to counter-terrorism operations. Now, he speaks out — with brutal honesty — on what he believes is really happening in Britain.  

Neale is trying to cheer Kev up, who is sitting in a blacked out room in beautiful Malmesbury, counting down the hours, minutes and seconds until he can escape the UK for the sunnier climes of España! On the show, the boys discuss using Pictime as an art gallery, software solutions for back-up, the foto app, fixing up a retiring camera, the best compact camera in the Fujifilm range to travel with, switching to video using an X-T4, and we also feature the Zine work of Adam Ramjean, as he photographs the Notting Hill Carnival.
