Having cleared detailed scrutiny in a Public Bill Committee, the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill faces its next crucial test when it returns to the House of Commons for Report Stage on 16 May.This stage is often where Private Members' Bills falter. Will opponents of Kim Leadbeater's proposals to legalise assisted dying win enough support to amend the Bill? Can supporters of the Bill fend off attempts to change it? And could the Bill be lost altogether, because of the procedural hurdles that still stand in its way? In this edition of Parliament Matters, our resident procedural expert Paul Evans joins Ruth and Mark to unravel the intricate mysteries of Report Stage procedure. Drawing on his experience as a former senior Commons Clerk, Paul highlights the hidden dangers posed not only by opposition to the assisted dying bill but also by a seemingly unrelated Private Members' Bill aimed at regulating the importation of ferrets. He also explains how amendments are selected and grouped for debate, how the debate itself is structured, and how opponents of the assisted dying bill might exploit parliamentary rules in an attempt to thwart its progress.

Hello, and welcome to the Cinema Australia Podcast. In this episode, I'm joined by Within the Pines writer and director Paul Evans Thomas, who gives us a great insight into the making of his unmissable new film. There's no need for me to bang on about why I loved this film so much—because I do enough of that throughout this episode—but I do urge you not to sleep on Within the Pines. It's an excellent film that I hope people enjoy as much as I did. Within the Pines follows Sam Evans, played by Brendan Cooney, an experienced sound recordist who travels to an isolated forest in order to capture sounds far away from the noise of civilisation. As Sam ventures deeper, his mic picks up a sound no one wants to hear while alone in the woods. Paul Evans Thomas is an Adelaide-based filmmaker and verified YouTuber with over 360,000 subscribers to date on his channel Paul E.T., where he dissects the ins and outs of filmmaking. Paul has been obsessed with film since he was big enough to hold a camera—specifically the thriller/horror genre. An obsession that, combined with his experience in post-production, has helped bring to life the story of Within the Pines. Anyway… enjoy.

The assisted dying bill is about to undergo detailed scrutiny by the Public Bill Committee - a group of 23 MPs tasked with reviewing the Bill's text and proposing amendments to refine and improve it. But what exactly happens during this amendment process? Former House of Commons Clerk, Paul Evans CBE, breaks it down. Plus, we hear from Dr Ben Spencer MP, a former consultant psychiatrist turned parliamentarian, who has proposed dozens of amendments to the Bill.This week, Ruth is joined by procedural expert Paul Evans to break down the role and purpose of a Public Bill Committee. They explore how amendments are proposed, the rules that determine which amendments are admissible, and the grouping and selection of amendments for debate and decision. Paul explains the pivotal role played by the Committee chair in making fine procedural and political judgements and the mechanisms like ‘closure' motions that keep the process moving and guard against filibustering. What is the Government's role in this process. While officially neutral, Ministers have a ‘duty to the statute book'. So, will they step in to propose amendments, or will that responsibility fall to the Bill's sponsor, Kim Leadbeater MP? Plus, we explore the tactical side of law making: is it smarter to push amendments now, or save them for the next stage when the Bill returns to the full Commons for the Report stage? We also sit down with Dr Ben Spencer MP, the Conservative MP for Runnymede and Weybridge. He voted against the Bill at Second Reading and discusses why he thinks the Private Members' Bill process is not the right route for this complex legislation. Despite his opposition to the Bill, and although he's not a member of the Public Bill Committee, he has nonetheless tabled several dozen amendments. One of his key proposals? The creation of a new body — the Assisted Dying Agency — to oversee the process. He shares why he's pursuing these amendments, how he's crafting them, and how he hopes to influence the Bill's progress from outside the Committee room.

This Day in Legal History: West Law Reports PublishedOn October 21, 1876, the West Publishing Company, founded by John B. West, published its first legal reporter, The Syllabi. This marked the beginning of a transformation in how American legal professionals accessed and utilized case law. The Syllabi aimed to provide Minnesota lawyers with timely, accurate, and reliable legal information, distinguishing itself through its promise to be "prompt, interesting, full, and at all times thoroughly reliable." Over time, The Syllabi evolved into the Northwestern Reporter, which played a significant role in shaping the broader National Reporter System. West's innovation was groundbreaking because it standardized the reporting of judicial decisions across multiple jurisdictions, creating a centralized, accessible body of case law. The National Reporter System expanded to cover decisions from various courts in different regions, making it easier for lawyers to research case law beyond state boundaries. This system eventually became the foundation for modern legal research and was essential for the creation of tools like Westlaw, which revolutionized legal research with digital access in the 20th century. It is worth noting, the development of a centralized legal reporting system, while transformative, also raises important access to justice issues. West Publishing's dominance in legal reporting and the eventual emergence of paid research platforms like Westlaw created barriers for individuals and smaller firms with limited financial resources. The high cost of accessing comprehensive legal databases places those without the means at a significant disadvantage, potentially hindering their ability to conduct thorough legal research or build strong cases. This disparity underscores the ongoing challenge of ensuring equal access to legal resources, a critical factor in promoting fairness within the justice system.China-based drone manufacturer DJI has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Defense Department, challenging its inclusion on a list of companies allegedly linked to Beijing's military. DJI claims the designation is inaccurate and has caused substantial financial harm, including lost business deals and a tarnished reputation. The company, which controls over half of the U.S. commercial drone market, argues it is neither owned nor controlled by the Chinese military and seeks removal from the list. DJI alleges that the Pentagon did not engage with the company for over 16 months regarding the designation, leaving it no choice but to pursue legal action. The Pentagon has not commented on the suit. DJI is also facing increasing scrutiny in the U.S., with concerns raised about potential security risks from its drones. Earlier this week, U.S. Customs stopped some DJI imports under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, though DJI denies any involvement with forced labor. Meanwhile, the U.S. House has passed a bill to ban new DJI drones, pending Senate action.Drone maker DJI sues Pentagon over Chinese military listing | ReutersEli Lilly has filed lawsuits against three medical spas and online vendors—Pivotal Peptides, MangoRx, and Genesis Lifestyle Medicine—over selling unauthorized versions of its weight-loss drug, Zepbound, which contains tirzepatide. These lawsuits, filed in federal and state courts, accuse the companies of false advertising and promotion, including selling products without medical prescriptions and making unverified claims about the drug's safety and efficacy. Pivotal Peptides allegedly marketed tirzepatide for research but sold it directly to consumers, while MangoRx offered an unapproved oral version of the drug. Genesis was accused of selling compounded tirzepatide with vitamin B12, a combination that Lilly says is unsafe and untested. Lilly's lawsuits follow earlier legal actions against other companies for similar offenses. The drugmaker aims to protect consumers from potential health risks and seeks to stop the defendants from selling these products, as well as pursuing monetary damages.Lilly sues online vendors, medical spa over copycat weight-loss drugs | ReutersFour prominent labor lawyers from Baker McKenzie's New York employment practice—Paul Evans, Krissy Katzenstein, Blair Robinson, and Jeffrey Sturgeon—have moved to Paul Hastings, leaving Baker McKenzie short one-third of its employment lawyers. The team has represented Fox News in several high-profile employment disputes, including defending the network in cases involving former host Britt McHenry and a COVID-19 workplace exposure claim. The team has also worked with clients like CBS Broadcasting, Paramount Global, and Panda Express. Their move to Paul Hastings follows collaborations with the firm's employment lawyers, and they plan to continue growing Paul Hastings' client relationships. The transition strengthens Paul Hastings' East Coast employment practice, enhancing its capacity in complex employment matters, including Title VII representation, pay equity, and class actions. Paul Hastings' leadership sees this as a significant boost, especially ahead of regulatory shifts tied to the 2024 presidential election.Fox News Employment Defense Team Moves Over to Paul HastingsNew Jersey Transit Corp. (NJ Transit) is facing a patent infringement lawsuit from Railware Inc., which claims NJ Transit is using its railworker-safety technology without permission. NJ Transit is seeking to dismiss the case, asserting sovereign immunity as an "arm of the State of New Jersey." The issue is complicated by the fact that NJ Transit operates in both New Jersey and New York. While the Third Circuit, which covers New Jersey, has previously ruled that NJ Transit qualifies for immunity, the Second Circuit, which covers New York, uses a stricter test to determine state immunity. This case is significant because it could set a precedent for how sovereign immunity is applied across jurisdictions.Railware argues that NJ Transit's immunity claim is invalid, citing the agency's independent operation and non-state funding. The case also touches on broader legal debates about when state agencies can claim immunity in patent cases. NJ Transit is awaiting a key ruling from the New York Court of Appeals on whether it is immune from another lawsuit, which could influence this case. If conflicting rulings emerge from different courts, the matter may be escalated to the U.S. Supreme Court for resolution.NJ Transit Patent Immunity Claim Crosses Circuit-Court Divide This is a public episode.

On this episode Kat is joined by Paul Evans, CEO of Carlisle Support Services, who shares his fascinating story of how he went from a working-class lad in Sheffield, starting out as a security officer opening and closing doors to leading a 5,000-person organisation. And why he's a better CEO than he used to be.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The world is a challenging place and it's become more challenging over the last few years. Therefore, caring for people working in many kinds of environments is the biggest thing that me and my team must make sure of, from a wellbeing perspective. As the senior team, we have to make sure we've set the business up correctly to look after people, both from a health and safety perspective but equally from a wellbeing and mental health perspective, which has become more important over the last few years. As we've gone from 1,600 employees – that we call our family members – to 5,000, one of the biggest things has been making sure everybody cares for everybody. From the CEO downwards I've wanted to get a philosophy that runs through the business around looking after people. One of the measures in place is that anyone can ring/email the CEO to create a family feel, like ringing your parents or grandparents to talk about things. Now we're bigger I can't be everywhere, I have to protect my own mental health as well. As a leader it isn't possible for me to visit and speak personally to all of our 5,000+ family members. We've done a lot around organisational structures with roles and hierarchies to make sure that managers can get on and manage and the strategic element can still be strategic. The aspect of driving your business can cross over into your personal life. Make sure you check in with yourself and your family to make sure of what you're doing it for, what's the purpose of it in terms of heading in the right way, are you on track, are you taking time out.  BEST MOMENTS “I was brought up with the philosophy of you get out of life what you put into it.” “You learn so much more as a CEO being on the ground than you do in a boardroom.” “We're all getting older; you've got to look after yourself. You only get one mind and one body; you don't get a second chance.” “There are sacrifices I've made for being successful but, equally, they've had some real impact outside of work on me as a person.” ABOUT THE GUEST Paul Evans is CEO of Carlisle Support Services, has overseen the transformation of the business. With a career spanning the last two decades in the facilities management sector, and having worked his way up from the front-line, he is passionate about making sure the business strategy remains aligned to its employee-led and customer-centric values. In addition, Paul is also the Vice Chair of the United Kingdom Crowd Management Association (UKCMA) and was previously Co-Chair of the Living Wage Foundation Recognised Service Provider's Leadership Group, and an Executive Officer of the National Association of Healthcare Security (NAHS) from 2020-23. LinkedIn ABOUT THE HOST Kat started her career as a teacher, before moving into Tech where she worked in different executive roles within teaching and consulting working across the globe, both in the public and private sector. Despite appearing 'successful' on the outside, she paid a heavy ‘life' price. In 2016, her whole world collapsed. The reason? The compound effect of years of unhealthy and toxic habits that destroyed her health, relationship and career. She suffered a severe breakdown and lost everything. In the middle of this she got headhunted for her first CEO role. She rebuilt herself by changing just one small habit, and built a series of positive habits which has transformed her professional and personal performance, resulting in becoming the healthiest and happiest version of herself.  She is a positive habits international keynote speaker and teacher, giving talks and delivering high impact programmes to organisations across the globe.  LinkedIn Instagram

What does it tell us about the vulnerabilities public officials face in the digital age, and the complex interplay between personal conduct and public service?Numerous press reports suggest the Government may support another cross-party attempt to refer the conduct of the Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP and the Labour Leader, Sir Keir Starmer MP, to the Privileges Committee over claims of improper coercion before the Opposition Day debate on Gaza last month. Could the Speaker survive an investigation into his conduct and how would the process work?Fresh evidence has come to light suggesting Paula Vennells, former Chief Executive of the Post Office, may have knowingly misled MPs when she appeared before Select Committees looking into events at the company. Liam Byrne MP, Chair of the Business and Trade Select Committee, says he's exploring all the options available to investigate and if necessary sanction her. But what are the options available?Northern Ireland has experienced a political earthquake with the news that DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson MP has been charged with historical sexual offences. But what does the news mean for Westminster where the debate about how to manage such situations – balancing the rights of the accused with the safety of the parliamentary community – remains unresolved.And we ask 'where have all the All Party Parliamentary Groups gone'? New research by MySociety shows that in the last month there has been a 39% reduction in the number of APPGs following changes in the registration rules designed to enhance transparency and accountability.

Ep 494 - Canada and China: What Happened? Guest - Dr Paul Evans   By Stuart McNish   In 1970, Canada led the Western world by recognizing China. According to Paul Evans in his book, “Engaging China,” the Prime Minister of Canada Pierre Trudeau “believed that many of the world's major issues ‘will not be resolved completely or in any lasting way unless and until an accommodation has been reached with the Chinese nation.'”   Over the course of the next 50 years, the Chinese economy and its clout grew from 1.7 percent of global GDP to more than 17.3%. China went from one of the poorest countries on earth to one of the most powerful economies. Through that growth, China invested heavily in Canadian energy and technology companies.   Then at the start of this century, the relationship between Canada and China started shifting. China started to flex its muscles and Canada failed to realize it was no longer the dominant member of this relationship. China grew tired of being told what and how to manage its affairs.   Enter Xi Jinping, who had no patience for moralizing and virtue signalling. Canada woke up to China's influence and the influencing tactics at home and abroad. Over the past five years, the relationship has soured.   We invited Paul Evans, Professor Emeritus at the University of British Columbia, to join us for a Conversation That Matters on what happened between Canada and China and what is happening between us and India.

They delve into military history and consider how the goals and ideologies of individual combatants/nations lead to alternate narratives of how events unfolded and what those events meant.

Paul Evans explores the rich folklore and natural history of St Melangell church near Llangynog in Powys for a new piece of nature writing. Paul is one of our finest nature writers and in this episode of Open Country he talks us through his creative process, which he describes as "a kind of imaginative hunter-gathering”. Inspired by the ancient yew trees that grow in the churchyard, he listens to their stories, such as the science behind their great age and the legend of Saint Melangell, a nun who fled here from Ireland to avoid an arranged marriage. She protected a hare which was being chased by hounds from a royal hunting party, and was gifted the surrounding Pennant valley by the Prince of Powys who was impressed by her bravery. Here she founded a religious community and became known as the patron saint of hares. Immortal yews, magical hares and the mystic Melangell, there is so much rich material for Paul's next piece of writing, a short essay which he reads at the end of the programme. Interviewees: Reverend Christine Browne, Priest Guardian of St. Melangell's Church; Professor Jane Cartwright of the University of Wales Trinity St David; Dr. Emma Gilmartin of the Woodland Trust; Lottie Glover of Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust.

Don't ever ask someone for money for something that you aren't sold on. But don't ever worry about the amount of charitable giving, every little bit goes to something." —  Paul Evans Episode References:Homes for Hope: https://homes4hope.org/ About R.

This edition of Airing Pain examines how Covid-19 has impacted on the relationship between patient and healthcare professional. In the two or so years of living with Covid-19, the face-to-face relationship between doctors and patients was one of the first casualties. With restrictions relaxed, have we returned to the status quo, or has what was developed at breakneck speed led to new working practices?  In 2019, just months before Covid-19 became part of our lives, a workshop, ‘Experts by Experience – Working Together in Pain Management Programmes' explored an innovative approach to pain management in which patients became integral members within the clinical pain team. Has this relationship survived social isolation and lockdowns?  Contributors include Consultant in Pain Medicine with the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, Dr Cathy Price and Consultant Clinical Psychologist Dr Nick Ambler of the North Bristol NHS Trust, and people living with chronic pain. Read transcript Issues covered in this programme include:  COVID, self-management of long-term conditions, peer support, communicating pain, community healthcare, patient volunteer, support group, training course, volunteering and workshops.  Time Stamps:    1:15 – Dr Cathy Price on delivery rapidly changing from face-to-face to online, having to prioritise vital healthcare, and what didn't work remotely. 6:00 – Dr Cathy Price on the barriers the technology can create. 7:05 – Paul Evans recaps Airing Pain 119 Experts By Experience: Working Together In Pain Management Programmes 10:10 – Dr Nick Ambler talks on the Experts by Experience: Working Together In Pain Management Programmes Workshop. 14:12 – Nick on the service user involvement in delivering Pain Management Programmes and what it means for health professionals. 17:00 – Paul ask Nick how a GP could approach a repeat consultation about pain to create a productive outcome. 19:55 – How the Covid pandemic impacted the work of pain clinics. 22:25 – Paul questions whether post-pandemic approaches to healthcare will revert. 27:00 – Cathy Price on the positive outcomes of working during a pandemic. 28:00 – Nick Ambler on the impact of patients being part of the team. 30:00 – Primrose Granville on her pain management programme experience.   Contributors:  Dr Cathy Price, Consultant in Pain Medicine with the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust  Dr Nick Ambler of the North Bristol NHS Trust  Patient-volunteer Primrose Granville, and other people living with chronic pain.   Special Thanks:  This edition of Airing Pain was supported by the British Pain Society and funded by grants from the James Weir Foundation, the Hospital Saturday Fund and the Erskine Cunningham Hill Trust.   More Information:  Pain Matters 78: managing pain during the coronavirus pandemic  Airing Pain #119 Experts by experience Working Together In Pain Management Programmes  Airing Pain 133: How Group Consultations Can Help Long COVID And Other Conditions

What is mental defeat and does it have an impact on the experiences of those living with pain?     In this edition of Airing Pain, Paul Evans interviews the team at the Warwick Study of Mental Defeat in Chronic Pain (WITHIN Project) and research participants, as well as taking part in the study as a participant himself.   The study, which runs until May 2023, is investigating how mental defeat can influence pain sensation, sleep patterns, social activity, physical activity and the general health of individuals who have chronic pain.  Mental defeat is defined as the perceived loss of autonomy in the face of uncontrollable, traumatic events. In the context of chronic pain this can be explained as a loss of identity and self in relation to repeated episodes of pain.  Paul talks to the team about their experimental, lab-based study and the sleep-tracking survey, then undergoes the lab experiment himself. Afterwards, he discusses how he found it and the possible outcomes of the research. He also interviews other participants on their experience.  It is hoped that the WITHIN Project will generate important information to help further understand the influence that mental defeat has on distress and disability in chronic pain patients. This is essential listening for anyone wanting to know more about the research process, or wanting to participate.    Issues covered in this programme include: Mental defeat, pain research, insomnia, psychological effects of pain, chronic pain, patient perspective, acceptance and commitment therapy, research participation, pain thresholds. Time Stamps:  0:25 Dr Nicole Tang, the Principal Investigator, discusses the definition of mental defeat. 1:22 Explanation of the WITHIN Study of Mental Defeat in Chronic Pain. 5:55 Jenna Gillett, PHD student and study researcher, on the relationship between pain and mental defeat. 7:17 Jenna Gillett and Dr Nicole Tang explain the sleep tracker study.    12:19 The impact of the COVID pandemic on the study – adaptations and the unexpected outcomes. 14:00 Participant Lauren Pulsford describes her experience of taking part in the study. 16:00 Producer Paul Evans meets Research Fellow Kristy Themelis to participate in the lab-based experiment. 20:00 Dr Nicole Tang on the association between chronic pain and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. 21:00 Exploring what happens to those with chronic pain have a strong sense of mental defeat. 22:00 Explanation of the longitudinal study – looking at sense of defeat, pain and activity over time. 23:00 Jenna Gillett talks about Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and its possible links with mental defeat. 24:00 Back in the lab with Paul Evans and Kristy Themelis, measuring his pain pressure threshold. 27:00 Paige Karadag, research assistant, explains the challenges of recruiting research participants online. 31:30 Paul Evans and Kristy Themelis discuss the experiments that he participated in and how he found it. 35:30 Paige Karadag and Jenna Gillett outline the criteria for research participants for the study, which will be running until May 2023. 39:00 Participant Caroline Perry offers her take on why people should take part.    Contributors:  Dr Nicole Tang, Principal Investigator, WITHIN project, University of Warwick.  Jenna Gillett, PHD student, WITHIN project, University of Warwick.  Lauren Pulsford, research participant with lived experience of chronic pain.  Paul Evans, research participant with lived experience of chronic pain.  Dr Kristy Themelis, Research Fellow, WITHIN project, University of Warwick.  Paige Karadag, Research Assistant, WITHIN project, University of Warwick.  Caroline Perry, research participant with lived experience of chronic pain.

How the symptoms of long COVID are being managed using group consultations and the many things long COVID has in common with other long-term conditions. Now that COVID has become a part of our day-to-day lives, so too has long COVID. So, with so much money now being directed towards researching treatments for long COVID, how might this impact the way we treat all manner of chronic conditions? In this episode of Airing Pain, Paul Evans interviews the team at the Berkshire Pain Clinic, who run a specific long COVID service, on treating people with the condition. Notably, there are many similarities between the symptoms of long COVID and the symptoms of other long-term conditions, such as fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. Issues like managing pain, fatigue, sleep and pacing are not only common in those with long COVID, but those with chronic illness in general. This raises the possibility that the money being spent now on long COVID may have a far wider reaching benefit in the long term. The team at the Berkshire Pain Clinic have already found success in using group consultations to manage long COVID. Listen, or read the transcript, to find out how these consultations are run and why they are proving so beneficial. Issues covered in this programme include: group consultations, long COVID, self-management of long-term conditions, fibromyalgia, fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, pacing, sleep problems, building support networks, managing mood problems and goal setting. Time Stamps: 02:02 – Dr Deepak Ravindran explains how existing knowledge can help us to manage long COVID. 08:22 – Dr Rupa Joshi explains how group consultations can provide support to those with long-term conditions. 11:09 – how did group consultations start at the Berkshire Pain Clinic? 13:50 – Dr Rupa Joshi discusses how both patients and healthcare professionals can learn from group consultations. 14:17 – how do group consultations for long COVID differ from those for other health conditions? 15:33 – Dr Deepak Ravindran on how our understanding of COVID and long COVID have changed. 18:52 – Caroline Mole shares her experience of long COVID, pain and fatigue and how it has impacted her life. 20:25 – Dr Deepak Ravindran shares how his experience of COVID gave him perspective on the experiences of his chronic pain patients. 21:54 – how funding for long COVID can help those living with other long-term conditions. 24:25 – Airing Pain producer Paul Evans shares his experience of fibromyalgia and how it has a lot in common with long COVID. 26:04 – could the treatments we discover for long COVID be used for people with other conditions? 27:13 – Caroline Mole explains what it was like to have a long COVID flare up and her struggles with fatigue. 29:08 – Greg Scott on talking therapies and managing the mental health aspects of long COVID and other conditions. 32:06 – Health and Wellbeing Coach Fatema Hafizji on empowering people with long-term conditions to achieve their goals. 35:54 – Personal Trainer Kerry Doe explains how she supports people to return to exercise following COVID. 40:38 – Saira Mirza on the role of the physiotherapist in managing long COVID and other conditions and the importance of breathing techniques.
