    What happens when glamour meets scandal, and resilience triumphs over adversity? Join us as we sit down with Countess Ilene Medecin, the former First Lady of Nice, France, in Episode 253 of Late Boomers. Discover her electrifying journey from a family in Beverly Hills with roots stemming from legends in organized crime and the Hollywood makeup industry to the aristocratic circles of the French Riviera. Uncover the dramatic tales from her memoir, "Arrested," featuring political controversies, jail time, and high-society scandals. Tune in for a tale of strength, survival, and hope that will leave you inspired. Don't miss this captivating episode!Countess Ilene Medecin's Bio:Ilene Médecin's life is a tapestry of glamour, intrigue, and resilience. As the only American, aside from Princess Grace Kelly, to attain the esteemed position of First Lady of Nice and the French Riviera, Ilene's story is both unique and captivating. Born and raised in the heart of Beverly Hills, California, with two famous uncles—Max Factor, the iconic cosmetic mogul, and Jake the Barber, a pivotal figure in the rise of Las Vegas—Ilene's path to prominence seemed almost destined.“Arrested” is a riveting memoir that takes you through Ilene's extraordinary journey, from her star-studded upbringing to her glamorous and, at times, perilous life on the French Riviera. Marrying Jacques Médecin, a Medici Count affectionately known as “King Jacquou,” Ilene found herself at the center of a century-old political dynasty. Together, they mingled with royals, celebrities, and politicians, sharing their social circle with the likes of Princess Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier.Ilene's life, akin to a storybook Camelot, saw her at the pinnacle of a fantasy existence. However, this enchanting narrative took a dramatic turn, leading her from the heights of societal acclaim to the depths of a French prison cell. Amidst trysts and scandals, Ilene was unprepared for the fall of a prominent political family and her eventual arrest for her husband's alleged misdeeds. Jacques's career ended in a puzzling political exile in Uruguay, a stark contrast to his previous stature as Mayor of Nice, President of Alpes-Maritimes, French Minister of Tourism, and Member of Parliament.Connect with Ilene:Website: https://countessilenemedecin.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/countessilenemedecin/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/countessilenemedecinYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@countessilenemedecinBook: https://www.amazon.com/Arrested-Memoir-American-France-Riviera/dp/1667882406?&linkCode=sl1&tag=wrina...Thank you for listening.

    How does a particle physicist end up shaping the UK Government's approach to artificial intelligence? In this thought‑provoking episode, Andrew Grill sits down with Dr Laura Gilbert CBE, former Director of Data Science at 10 Downing Street and now the Senior Director of AI at the Tony Blair Institute.Laura's unique career path, from academic research in physics to the heart of policymaking, gives her a rare perspective on how governments can use emerging technologies not just efficiently, but humanely. She shares candid insights into how policy teams think about digital transformation, why the public sector faces very different challenges to private industry, and how to avoid technology that dehumanises decision‑making.Drawing on examples from her work in Whitehall, Laura discusses the realities of forecasting in AI, the danger of “buzzword chasing”, and why the next breakthrough in Artificial General Intelligence might well come from an unexpected player, possibly from within government itself.This is a conversation for anyone curious about the intersection of science, policy, ethics, and technology, and how they can combine to make government more responsive, transparent, and human-centred.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow Laura Gilbert moved from particle physics research into government AI leadershipThe strategic role of AI in shaping modern policy and public servicesWhy forecasting in AI is harder than it looks—and how this impacts decision‑makersThe balance between technical capability and human‑centred governanceWhy governments must look beyond the tech giants for innovative solutionsLessons from the Evidence House and AI for Public Good programmesResourcesTony Blair Global Institute WebsiteUK Government AI IncubatorLaura on LinkedInRaindrop.io bookmarking appThanks for listening to Digitally Curious.

    Does – or did – Nigel Farage have a woman problem? ‘Around me there's always been a perception of a laddish culture,' he tells political editor Tim Shipman, for the cover piece of the Spectator this week. In last year's election, 58 per cent of Reform voters were men. But, Shipman argues, ‘that has begun to change'. According to More in Common, Reform has gained 14% among women, while Labour has lost 12%. ‘Women are ‘more likely than men… to worry that the country is broken.'Many of Reform's most recent victories have been by women: Andrea Jenkyns in the mayoral elections, Sarah Pochin to Parliament; plus, their most recent high profile defections include a former Tory Welsh Assembly member and a former Labour London councillor. What makes Reform's success with women all the more remarkable is that it appears organic; ‘we haven't forced this' says Farage. So why are women turning to Reform UK? Tim Shipman and Sarah Pochin MP join William Moore and Lara Prendergast, the Spectator's features and executive editors respectively, to discuss further, with an introduction from Oscar Edmondson.

    When it comes to politics, a pet peeve of mine is opposition members of Parliament who seemingly do little for 3 or 6 or 9 years and then come into power and seem baffled as to what they intend to do with the portfolio they are now in charge of. And this applies to all parties - anyone in opposition. Heading into an election, I find myself wondering what on earth some politicians have done with their 3 plus previous years in opposition. I appreciate that when you're in opposition, you have significantly less resources that when in Government, and don't have great access to the Budget detail or ministry they'll inherit when in power. But we're not paying opposition MP's just to perform occasionally in the House and in the front of the media. We're paying them to fully understand their area of responsibility and have the expertise to challenge the Government's ideas and bills so they can advocate effectively for the best outcome for all New Zealanders. A special callout here for list MPs - who don't have the added responsibility and duties of representing an electorate. If you are the spokesperson for a fast moving portfolio such as education, then being seen to be across the Government's plans is even more important. Willow-Jean Prime's seeming lack of interest as Labour's education spokesperson in a generational change proposed by the Government for secondary education this week irks. I'm sure she's not the first MP to ignore correspondence or decline a meeting, but her refusal to work with Education Minister Erica Stanford on changes to NCEA irks because it looks lazy. It looks arrogant. Most annoyingly, it looks like Labour isn't interested in working with the Government on serious issues that many New Zealanders would prefer adopted a bipartisan approach. I get that it sucks when your competitor is in Government, develops an initiative and reaches out for bi-partisan consensus. It's on their terms and benefits them. But we're scrapping the current national standards program for senior education and implementing a new one with a short time period for consultation. Isn't that something worth coming together on? Isn't it something worth swallowing some pride for? The excuse was that Willow-Jean Prime prioritised engaging with the sector over speaking to the minister. Yes, engagement with the sector is important, but you'd presume prime was already well. Being more informed by the Minister surely would only make those engagement conversations more insightful. Erica Stanford is moving at pace - she's been moving at pace since she took on the education portfolio. Stanford is an example of a Minister using her time in opposition wisely. There isn't a lot of time for consultation - Willow-Jean Prime is right on that one. But she's had since March to get her head around the Government's direction and would be much better prepared if she had accepted Stanford's offer to continue working cross party on this. As an opposition list MP with a commitment to one select committee, there's no excuse. She should be able to keep up. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the digital IDs and CBDCs roll out, so are the social credit scores. The UK's Department For Work And Pensions (DWP) has been given new authority to probe people's bank accounts with Parliament expected to pass these measures within months. This will allow the government to withhold pensions and social security based on the data from your bank account. The excuse for this new legislation is to "prevent fraud," however this is being brought forward at the same time as the rollout of digital ID wallets in the UK as well as CBDCs. This isn't a coincidence. Alongside the insane new levels of centralization online as well as censorship, this isn't going to end well for Brits. But it's happening everywhere. Real ID is being pushed forward in the United States alongside stablecoin legislation. The digital Euro is being rolled out by October alongside a digital ID wallet. Canada and Australia are both also pushing forward a CBDC and digital ID system. With Basel 3 enforced at 63 central banks worldwide, bail-in regimes are a reality. Are people really ready for what comes next? Western economies are tanking and the replacement system is being readied rapidly. It's time people actually take action on this.

He stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Walkerton during its water crisis and chaired critical airport security talks after 9/11.Ovid shares the philosophy that guided him: “I see people as people. We waste too much energy being at odds with each other.” He reflects on a lifetime of leadership without ego.

    On September 3rd 2025, diabetes and sport will go under the global spotlight that is a House of Commons debate. In today's episode the man who made it happen tells us why - and what this could mean for the millions of people living with diabetes in the UK.Chris Bright is one of the community's crusaders. As part of his role as Community Partnerships and Events Lead at Breakthrough T1D in the UK, he has put diabetes in sport on the agenda at the highest possible level. The goal? To improve the inclusivity of physical activity for people with diabetes. The need is clear - the Equality Act that safeguards around 3.5 million people with diabetes in work and education does not currently extend to sport. In fact, recent research found that of 180 existing governing bodies in sport, only four have policies in place for people with diabetes.Diagnosed at the age of 8, Chris overcame stigma and the challenges of a very inflexible insulin regime as a young athlete to represent Wales at futsal. He later used those negative experiences as momentum to build The Diabetes Football Community, bringing young footballers with diabetes together while rewriting attitudes to type 1 diabetes and football.In this episode we dig into different pockets of Chris's work, including some new recommendations for travel, airports and airport security. We touch on his personal journey, and he reveals his strategy for successfully creating change in the face of inequality - perfect for anyone who feels as galvanised as I was listening to Chris's phenomenal story. CONNECT WITH CHRISFollow Chris on Instagram.Find Chris on X.Follow Chris on TikTok.The Diabetes Football Community website.Breakthrough T1D Community Events Calendar.JOIN THE TYPE 1 ON 1 COMMUNITY Come and say hi @studiotype1on1 on Instagram.Visit the Type 1 on 1 website.Subscribe to the Type 1 on 1 newsletter.DISCLAIMER Nothing you hear on Type 1 on 1 should be taken as medical advice. Please consult your healthcare team before making any changes to your diabetes or health management.SPONSOR MESSAGE This episode of Type 1 on 1 is sponsored by Dexcom.

    Today's podcast is a discussion with Socialist Students national Organiser Adam Gillman, about the Youth Walkout against Trump campaign. Go to www.socialiststudents.org.uk to get involved Socialist Students press release Buckingham Palace has booked in Donald Trump's state visit to the UK for 17-19 September. Already hundreds of students have signed up to walk out of their schools, colleges and universities on Wednesday 17 September – the day that Trump arrives in the UK – as part of the Youth Walkout Against Trump campaign. The youth walkouts, initiated by Socialist Students, will be a protest against the chaos that Trump's presidency represents for young people's futures globally. Students will be walking out to instead demand a future to look forward to – for free education, a decent job, and the guarantee of a high-quality and affordable home for all; for an end to climate crisis; and for a world free from war, oppression and exploitation. With Trump's visit taking place while Parliament is in recess, Keir Starmer and his Labour government will be hoping to escape the firing line of mass protests like those which Trump provoked during his first state visit to the UK in 2018. But the Youth Walkout Against Trump campaign will not let Labour off the hook. Adam Gillman, Socialist Students national organiser,said: “By building the youth walkouts, we can send a powerful message to young people and workers in America that we stand with them against Trump – not with Starmer, who issued the invite for this state visit.” TJ, a 19-year-old student in Leeds, said: “Labour has made cut after cut to young people's futures while bosses make record profits. now they roll out the red carpet for oppressive leaders abroad. I am building for these walkouts to give young people a way to show Starmer's Labour that this is not what the public voted for.” Lauren from Wrexham said: “Trump's visit to the UK is an opportunity to fight back; not just against him but the capitalist system he upholds, which puts the interests of big business above the lives of working-class people. These walkouts are a chance to stand up to Trump, as well as our government who welcome him with open arms, and all other leaders who uphold this corrupt system! That's why I'm building the youth walkouts against Trump.” Penelope, a college student from Preston, highlighted the common attacks facing students either side of the Atlantic: “Trump has cut funding to US universities, and has attacked students and staff standing up on issues like Palestine. Meanwhile Starmer's government here raises universities tuition fees and continues the rampant underfunding of all levels of education. By walking out when Trump visits we are showing that young people everywhere have to fight for a decent education, in a capitalist world where none of our hard-won rights can be taken for granted”. While the university term has come to a close, and schools and sixth forms break up next week, Socialist Students will be continuing to build the walkout campaign over the summer – including calling public youth meetings in towns and cities throughout the UK to discuss how young people can build the walkouts and get organised to win a decent future under this Labour government.

The episode follows news from the youth-led campaign group BiteBack2030, which says its billboard campaign has been effectively silenced. The group recently organised a mock inquiry in Parliament, involving MPs, to share concerns about how junk food advertising and sponsorship are affecting the health of children in the UK.Sheila also hears from a group of protesters who marched to Downing Street this month, shouting the message “Fight Fake Food.” Organiser Rosalind Rathouse, from the Cookery School on Portland Street, says the public needs to know how the food they're eating is damaging their health. She is calling on everyone to learn to cook this summer. During the march, campaigners delivered a list of wishes to Downing Street, highlighting the changes they'd like to see in food policy.Also featured are Jennifer Richardson from The BMJ, which has been investigating the impact of commercial influence on children's health, and Cathy Cliff from the Soil Association, who submitted a Freedom of Information request to uncover the extent of food industry lobbying and its effect on government policy.Presented by Sheila Dillon Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Natalie Donovan
