We hear Amy's reactions to the latest Epstein revelations.More than 1.7 million children in England have special needs and today, the government has announced that all secondary schools and colleges will be expected to have a dedicated Special Educational Needs and Disability - or SEND - base.

We speak to BBC education reporter Kate McGough and Margaret Mulholland, SEND and Inclusion specialist for the Association of School and College Leaders. Deborah Douglas has written a memoir about her experience as a victim turned campaigner in one of the biggest scandals in British medical history. Her story sits at the centre of the case of disgraced breast surgeon Ian Paterson, jailed in 2017 for performing harmful and unnecessary operations on women who believed they were being treated for cancer. An inquiry in 2020 found both NHS and private hospitals missed repeated chances to stop him. Deborah joins Clare to discuss The Cost of Trust.

It's an Emmajority Report Thursday on the Majority Report   On today's program:   After the Clintons agree to testify before Congress about their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump says he feels bad that "they're going after Bill Clinton," adding that "Bill Clinton got me, he understood me." The comments stand in contrast to Trump's remarks during the second presidential debate in 2016, when he said there was "no president in history who has been more abusive to women than Bill Clinton."   Trump announces a shift in his mass deportation policy, saying that they no longer want to force themselves into cities where they are not wanted. He wants the mayors and governors to ask for his help and to say "please".   As Trump shows vulnerability around ICE, instead of seizing on this opportunity, Hakeen Jeffries and Chuck Schumer use this moment to soften their demands around ICE reform.   Dan Friedman, senior reporter in Mother Jones' DC Bureau joins the program to discuss his piece in MJ "Trump's War on History".   In the Fun Half:   Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder join the show.   In a released audio recording of a phone conversation between Larry Summers, Ehud Barak and Jeffrey Epstein reveals Barak's anxiety of Israel's decent into a single state with an Arab majority.   In another released audio recording, Jeffrey Epstein is advising Ehud Barak to reach out to Peter Thiel to get a spot on Palantir's board. A year after that phone call, Palantir opened an office in Israel.   An in-depth piece by Jake Lahut on Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) reveals her alleged heavy drinking.

The Economist magazine and international investors are shifting their narrative on South Africa as critical shifts in the energy and logistics sectors signal a potential economic turnaround. While the nation has faced decades of decline, recent reforms—including the end of Eskom's power monopoly and private sector concessions at Durban Port—are sparking hope. However, analysts warn that significant hurdles remain, including a staggering 32% unemployment rate and the looming threat of "mafia state" organized crime. Amidst a global surge in precious metals, experts suggest South African assets are currently "under owned and undervalued," offering a unique opportunity for those willing to bet on the country's capitalist resurgence.

In part two of this conversation, Dr. Arun Seraphin is joined again by HON. David Berteau to examine how Defense Acquisition and Acquisition Reform in the Defense Industry evolved after the end of the Cold War. Berteau reflects on why Defense Acquisition Reform has remained a persistent challenge and highlights the need for a balanced approach that weighs both mission success and financial outcomes across the Defense Industry.The conversation explores how Defense Acquisition challenges unfolded over time, beginning with post–Cold War budget drawdowns that accelerated consolidation within the Defense Industry. It then examines the 1990s rise of commercial technology, driven in part by new legislation such as the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) and the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).David and Arun connect these Acquisition Reform efforts of the 1990s to today's challenges by discussing how the Defense Industry can integrate commercial technology at speed, better align requirements with budgets and programs, and navigate Congress's evolving role in Defense Acquisition. The discussion offers insight into what effective Defense Acquisition Reform could look like today amid near-peer competition and rapid technological change.Be sure to follow us on social media for updates, early access to upcoming events, inside scoops, & more:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4htROo0Twitter: https://bit.ly/48LHAx3Facebook: https://bit.ly/47vlht8And for more podcasts, articles, & publications all things emerging tech, check out our website at: https://bit.ly/47oA5K1#EmergingTech #EmergingTechETI #DefenseAcquisition #AcquisitionReform #FARA #FASA

The government is promising a complete overhaul of the water system, which it says will protect households from disrupted water supplies and bring in tougher oversight of water companies. The new water white paper, which paves the way for the Water Reform Bill, proposes the abolition of Ofwat to create a new regulator. It promises new reforms bringing councils, water companies, farmers, and developers together to deliver joined-up local plans to tackle river pollution, water resources and housing growth. We ask the Rivers Trust what it means for agriculture and the health of our rivers.All week we're talking about winter feed - from simple grass to complex proteins. Some farmers have already used up the forage which they grew to feed their animals over the winter. We visit a dairy farmer in Herefordshire who's had to buy in maize to feed his livestock and reduced his herd numbers because there's a shortage of fodder.Glyphosate is a commonly used but controversial weedkiller. Councils use it kill off weeds and it's used in regenerative farming to kill off cover crops, planted to help protect and nourish soils over the winters, before planting the main crop. In the USA courts have ruled that the chemicals in it are linked to cancer. In the UK, the government's reviewing whether it should still be allowed. We speak to farmers, scientists and campaigners about its future.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

THE OUTBREAK OF CIVIL WAR Colleague Jonathan Healey. By late 1641, Parliament forces reforms, executing Strafford and imprisoning Laud. The King attempts to arrest five parliamentary members in the House of Commons but fails, leading to massive street protests that force him to flee London. Charles travels the country gathering support while Parliamentarians argue that the safety of the people supersedes the King's authority. Both sides utilize print media to rally troops, with Royalists claiming divine right and Parliamentarians asserting popular sovereignty.
