We need to make “Much Ado About Keanu” Reeves. That's according to pop culture writer Sezín Devi Koehler's new book about the wildly popular – if sometimes underestimated – Hollywood star. Besides acting in eighty films over his 40-year career, from “Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure” to “The Matrix,” Reeves' roles have challenged stereotypes of masculinity, provided representation of Asian American and native Hawaiian communities— and he's known for stepping aside to let his costars shine. We'll talk about what makes Reeves' career “most excellent.” What's your favorite Keanu role? Guests: Carly Severn, senior editor of audience news, KQED Sezín Devi Koehler, pop culture writer; author, "Much Ado About Keanu: A Critical Reeves Theory" Angelica Jade Bastién, critic covering film and pop culture, New York Magazine's Vulture Learn more about your ad choices.

Tomorrow Rachel Reeves will deliver her big speech in the City. The annual Mansion House address is a chance for the Chancellor to set out her vision for the British economy. But amid a gloomy set of economic indicators (including two consecutive monthly GDP contractions) it is difficult to see what good news she can offer.Westminster would be alive with speculation about what she might announce – initially, there was talk of reforms to cash ISAs; now, attention has turned to the prospect of Reeves promising a ‘new Big Bang' by slashing regulation on financial services – however everyone is busy trying to work out who are the ‘working people' the Labour government has pledged not to raise taxes for?Are they – as Heida Alexander argued over the weekend – ‘people on modest incomes'? Or, as Darren Jones suggested today, ‘anyone that gets a payslip, basically'? That is quite a difference in definition – so who exactly is a ‘working person'?James Heale speaks to Tim Shipman and Michael Simmons.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.We are hosting a Coffee House Shots live tomorrow (15th July) at The Emmanuel Centre in Westminster.

We also discuss those viral videos of fans queuing to see Chris Brown, a convicted abuser, on the same week he stands trial for Grievous Bodily Harm.

Today Wes Streeting – with the help of Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves – announced his 10 year plan for curing the NHS. It's all about creating a ‘Neighbourhood Health Service', but what does actually mean in practice? Much of the plan was leaked in advance: first, focusing on preventing disease before it becomes too late; second, improving community healthcare services to help reduce pressure on hospitals; and third, embracing the tech revolution to bring the NHS into the ‘digital age'. One of the glaring omissions is a chapter on how this will all be delivered.Perhaps the most notable part of today's launch was the decision to include Rachel Reeves – last seen in the Commons looking distraught as the Prime Minister (brutally) failed to back her. He has since thrown his support behind her – but has he made his political bed? Are Starmer and Reeves codependent?Oscar Edmondson speaks to Lucy Dunn and Isabel Hardman.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

The image of the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, crying in Parliament yesterday was picked up by various media. After PMQs, Ms Reeves' spokesperson said she had been dealing with a "personal matter" and Sir Keir insisted her tears had had "nothing to do with politics". Kylie Pentelow is joined by Times columnist Katy Balls and Kitty Donaldson, chief political commentator for the i Paper to discuss why her tears caused such a stir. Was it concern over political weakness and worries about political instability? Ms Reeves' very senior role in government? Or because she's a woman and maybe people still don't understand that women cry for different reasons and in different circumstances to men?The government's long-awaited NHS 10-year health plan is launched today. To make the NHS in England fit for the future, the plan will focus on three big shifts: moving care from hospitals to communities, making better use of technology, and preventing sickness - not just treating it. How should the NHS prioritise women's health to achieve better results? Kylie is joined by Ranee Thakar, President of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Danielle Jefferies, Senior Analyst at The King's Fund, and Lara Lewington, a technology journalist and author of a new book, Hacking Humanity.Esther Freud's ninth novel, My Sister and Other Lovers, revisits characters from her very first book Hideous Kinky, which was made into a film starring Kate Winslet. In My Sisters and Other Lovers, the sisters come of age and try to come to terms with their past. Esther joins Kylie to talk about her writing and how despite having such famous men in her life – her father was the painter Lucien Freud and her great-grandfather was the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud - it's the women in her family who inspire her work.Amy Powney is the fashion designer best known for being the Creative Director at Mother of Pearl for 10 years until she left to set up her own label, Akyn, earlier this year. Amy's mission to create a sustainable clothing line was explored in the documentary Fashion Reimagined which saw her trace clothes from field to runway and cemented her as an authority on this within the wider industry.

Un'ammissione di responsabilità è arrivata dal premier laburista britannico Keir Starmer per la gestione della riforma del welfare, approvata in modo caotico alla Camera dei Comuni dopo profonde concessioni volte a placare la rivolta interna. Intervistato dalla BBC, Starmer ha riconosciuto di non aver coinvolto abbastanza i parlamentari laburisti, ma ha difeso la cancelliera dello Scacchiere Rachel Reeves, scoppiata in lacrime durante il Question Time. Reeves, sotto pressione per la gestione dei conti pubblici e attaccata dalla leader conservatrice Kemi Badenoch, non ha ricevuto da subito il sostegno esplicito del premier, che ha poi attribuito il pianto a motivi personali. Tuttavia, secondo il Sun, Reeves avrebbe confidato di essere sopraffatta dalla pressione. Entrata già visibilmente provata, si è commossa quando Starmer ha evitato di confermare pubblicamente la sua posizione, lasciando l’aula accompagnata dalla sorella Ellie, anche lei deputata. Le immagini hanno fatto il giro del mondo e generato incertezza nei mercati: lo spread sui titoli di Stato britannici è salito ai livelli del disastroso budget Truss e la sterlina è crollata contro dollaro ed euro. “Le lacrime più costose della Storia”, ha commentato un deputato conservatore. Interviene Giorgia Scaturro, Il Sole 24 Ore LondraDagli albori della raccolta differenziata al primato europeo: 30 anni di raccolta e riciclo di carta e cartone in ItaliaDomani a Cagliari sarà presentato il 30° Rapporto di Comieco sulla raccolta e il riciclo di carta e cartone in Italia, con un focus sui risultati 2024 e una retrospettiva sui 40 anni del Consorzio. La Sardegna ospita l’evento per il suo ruolo guida nel Sud e nelle Isole, con una resa annua di 60,5 kg/abitante. Il report evidenzia come in trent’anni l’Italia abbia moltiplicato per sei e mezzo la propria capacità di raccolta, passando da 10 kg pro capite nel 1995 a 65,4 kg nel 2024. Il volume totale ha superato i 3,8 milioni di tonnellate (+3,5% rispetto al 2023), con il Sud che per la prima volta supera i 50 kg/abitante. Il sistema creato da Comieco, grazie al Contributo Ambientale Conai, genera un ritorno fino al 688% degli investimenti, secondo uno studio NeXt Economia–Symbola.

L’assemblea nazionale ha sottolineato le preoccupazioni legate a calo di fatturato, dazi e consumi. I dati Uiv mostrano una flessione dell’export di vino italiano negli Stati Uniti in aprile: -7,5% a volume, -9,2% a valore, con un calo del prezzo medio del 2%. La frenata è legata all’introduzione dei dazi da parte dell’amministrazione Trump. Il quadrimestre resta stabile (+0,9% a volume, +6,7% a valore), ma la tendenza è in peggioramento. Nei primi 5 mesi del 2025 i consumi di vino italiano negli USA sono calati del 6,3%, con un -10,6% a maggio. Una delle flessioni più nette degli ultimi anni. Frescobaldi ha sottolineato la necessità di rivedere l’assetto del settore vino e ha annunciato un confronto aperto nella prossima assemblea nazionale del 3 luglio a Roma. Martina Paladin, impegnata nell’export per Casa Paladin, ha confermato come la frenata americana si faccia sentire anche per i produttori più strutturati, sottolineando l’urgenza di nuove strategie sui mercati extra-Ue.

Some incredible scenes in PMQs this week - in which Chancellor Rachel Reeves was openly crying - has Ed Balls and George Osborne considering just how bad things have got for the Labour government. Mere days after a dramatic climbdown over welfare reform, when the watered-down bill inched over the finish line amid threats of MP rebellion, the bond market slumped over speculation Reeves was facing the sack. Ed thinks it's been the worst week for Labour governments for a long time, and George thinks that, domestically at least, the government is now adrift. But the show must go on! French President Emmanuel Macron is due for a state visit next week, the first since President Nicholas Sarkozy's over a decade ago. Put aside the pressing political questions for more important matters - what is Ed going to wear to the big dinner at Windsor Castle? And, believe it or not, this week marks a whole year since the Starmer government took office. No doubt the PM is facing a slew of acute policy challenges, but has his personal approach and his leadership style shifted the course of the 12 months?

**Discussion begins at 5:00**Before there was Henry Cavill, Tom Welling, Dean Cain, or Christopher Reeve… there was the OG Superman… George Reeves was an actor in the 1930s, who's burgeoning career stalled when he enlisted in WW2.  After the war he struggled to find parts, and in need of money, he begrudgingly accepted the role of Superman in the television series Adventures of Superman. The show was a hit, but led to type casting.  As a result, he had difficulty being taken seriously for other acting opportunities.  Off-screen, Reeves' personal life was tumultuous. He had a long-term affair with Toni Mannix, the wife of MGM executive Eddie Mannix, and later became engaged to a younger woman, Leonore Lemmon.  These overlapping relationships, combined with career frustrations and financial stress, ultimately led to him being found dead of a a gunshot wound to the head in his Beverly Hills home on June 16, 1959 – a home his former girlfriend Toni had bought him.  Was it suicide, as is listed as the official cause of death?  The death was never adequately investigated, and there were discrepancies in the scene.  Witnesses in the house gave conflicting stories, there were delays in calling the police, and multiple bullet holes were reportedly found in the room.  Additionally, Reeves' fingerprints were not found on the gun, and some friends claimed he was in good spirits in the days leading up to his death.  Who had motive?  Was it his fiancée - annoyed by his behavior that night and frustrated that he wasn't committed to getting married?  Was it his ex, Toni Mannix, who was heartbroken and had been stalking the engaged couple to the point that he had attempted to obtain a restraining order?  Or was it her husband, Eddie Mannix who was to blame? After all, he had mob and police connections as the VP of MGM, and was tired of hearing his wife obsess over George.  Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

Keir Starmer is facing war on both fronts. He is in the Netherlands to talk about defence and announce a major change in the UK's nuclear posture in response to rising challenges in the Middle East. But everyone in Westminster wants to talk about a different kind of warfare: the warfare over welfare. MPs will vote on the government's controversial welfare bill, after more than 120 MPs signed a reasoned amendment that would effectively stop the bill in its tracks. What has been most concerning for the government is how organised the rebellion appears, with many picking up on the mutinous mood since Kim Leadbeater's assisted dying bill. The government is increasingly looking like it will lose the vote. Are Labour going to pull the bill? And if so, surely they need to do it sooner rather than later.Lucy Dunn speaks to James Heale and John McTernan, former political adviser to Tony Blair.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
