The former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has added his voice to calls for an apology for what he has called the state's role in the "terrible tragedy" of historic forced adoptions. Between 1949 and 1976, thousands of pregnant women and girls in the UK were sent away to "prison-like" homes run by the church and state and had their babies put up for adoption. In 2021, an inquiry concluded that the State bore ultimate responsibility for the suffering inflicted on vulnerable women and their children, calling on the government to issue an official apology. Anna Foster was joined by Diana Defries, chair of the Movement for Adoption Apology and Karen Constantine, author of Taken, experiences of forced adoption, to give their reaction to the intervention by the former PM and whether they will be granted an apology.Paula Byrne, Jane Austen's biographer and also a novelist, has spent 25 years researching and writing about the iconic author.

They will now flash red — signally potentially high impacts, requiring players to have a head injury assessment - a move aimed at improving player safety. So just how safe is it for women to play rugby? What are the risks of getting injured, and what is being done to mitigate those risks? We hear from Fi Tomas, women's sports reporter at the Telegraph, Dr Izzy Moore, reader in human movement and sports medicine at Cardiff Metropolitan University and Welsh Ruby Union injury surveillance project lead, and Dr Anna Stodter, senior lecturer in sport coaching at Leeds Beckett University, former Sottish International player, who also coaches the university team.After learning about the threat to harvest mice in the UK, 13 year old friends Eva and Emily decided to breed 250 of them at home and release them into a local nature reserve - with the help of a crowdfunder and Chris Packham. Women who've been stalked, or had to take out a restraining order, have a much higher chance of suffering a heart attack or stroke, according to a new study from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. It followed a group of over 66,000 women across 10 years, and found those who'd been stalked were 41% more likely to develop cardiovascular disease, with those who'd taken out a restraining orders 71% more likely to have heart problems. Kylie talked to Dr Audrey Murchland, one of the lead researchers who carried out the study, about their findings.Justine Lee is a knitwear designer of 30 years who fell out of love with fast fashion.

„Die Diagnose Spina bifida schlug ein wie eine Bombe“, erinnert sich Stefan Spiecker. Während einer Alpenüberquerung erfuhr er vom offenen Rücken seines Sohnes – der Schock saß tief. Doch als Trainer für Positive Psychologie wusste er, wie wichtig Akzeptanz und Verbundenheit in Krisen sind und wie sehr sie zu ihrer Überwindung beitragen können. Nicht im Negativen zu verharren, sondern trotz aller Herausforderungen mit Zuversicht nach vorne zu blicken und dabei das Alltagsglück nicht zu übersehen – das ist ein weiterer Baustein auf seinem Weg als glücklicher Vater. In dieser Folge erzählt Stefan, wie er trotz Corona-Besuchsverbot einen unvergesslichen Geburtstagsmoment in der Klinik schuf oder wie Rugby mit Orthesen seinem Sohn Selbstvertrauen schenkt. Außerdem spricht Stefan darüber, warum auch unangenehme Gefühle ihren Platz haben und für ein erfülltes Leben sogar wichtig sind. Eine Folge für alle, die praktische Impulse suchen, um mehr Leichtigkeit und Glück in ihren Pflegealltag zu bringen, ohne die Realität schönzureden.

Plus, we really value the support!Don't forget you can also watch us on YouTube!Show notesIn this Spotlight, our news roundup begins with a look ahead to the Tokyo World Championships, via a rewind to the Diamond League finals in Zurich. Has Zurich shown the way forward for field events? We unpack whether this model can help the field events and thus sport grow, celebrate new stars and seasoned champions. We discuss how moving the World Championships to the season's end poses unique challenges for athletes, and stretches the physiological peak many can sustain. We look ahead to epic clashes, where new favourites have emerged and old stars have shown form at just the right time.From track to turf, we turn to rugby and the doping case of Asenathi Ntlabakanye. The South African prop has been provisionally suspended after a positive test for a substance SA Rugby has said was not performance-enhancing and was medically prescribed. Ross and Gareth explore what this may mean, and the broader grey areas that challenge athlete rights and fairness in sport.Then in Center Stage (53:34), the Women's Rugby World Cup takes the spotlight. The tournament is off to a fantastic start, breaking records and continuing its growth. But Ross explains why wide performance gaps between rugby's juggernauts and minnows could threaten the game's continued long-term prospects, and how targeted investment will be key to keeping the sport competitive and fair.In Ross Replies (1:09:42), Stu asks whether women experience head injuries differently from men? Ross explains that the answer is "it depends", a variation of yes and what this means for preventing head injury in women. And Finally (1:18:39), Mike asked for insight on whether children should be taught to tackle when learning rugby, and we discuss why the answer is a cautious, and qualified "yes", with some evidence and a cautionary tale about how the speed with which we introduce risk is the key.LinksStory on Ntlabakanye's doping positive and SARU's statementThe NCAA team that lost a title because of caffeineAs discussed re the NCAA, the London Marathon death attributed to a stimulant in a weight loss supplementStu's question and discussion about head injury mechanisms in women's rugby: Discourse members onlyRoss' paper describing head injury mechanisms in elite womenThe paper that documents head accelerations in players aged 13 to adult Hosted on Acast.

The opening round of the Women's Rugby World Cup had several blown-out scorelines, including the Black Ferns' 46-point win over Spain. The closest game was a 24-point win, but World Rugby officials are defending the disparities and telling fans to hold on for inevitable arm-wrestles as the tournament continues in England. Sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Lisa Owen.

A school girls' first XV rugby team is about to play for an unprecedented fourth national title in a row. The team, from Manukura in Palmerston North, are put through their paces every day at the college, which has a focus on te ao Maori and sport.

Well it's fair to say World Rugby's copping it today, even more so than yesterday. This is following the death of Shane Christie, the former Highlander who had the headaches and the memory loss and all those other symptoms that were consistent with CTE from too many head knocks. A former Wales #8 with early onset dementia, Alex Popham, has gone straight to World Rugby and the All Blacks' Twitter accounts and told them they've got blood on their hands. And our very own Scotty Stevenson has written a piece saying it's time to stop spending money on PR - this is obviously for rugby - and start spending money on helping the former players with these symptoms. Absolutely. I mean, there is no doubt that World Rugby could be doing more, right? The stand down period for a professional rugby player for a suspected concussion is - what do you think? 12 days. That's ridiculous. In boxing, it's 30 days. And if they actually lose consciousness and they know they've lost consciousness, it could be anywhere from 6 months up that they're forced to stand down. I think we've all seen pretty gnarly cases of head knocks recently or players talking about migraines over the summer period, only for them to be back on the field when they, if you were being careful, should not be back on the field. And who knows what World Rugby will be forced to do once these lawsuits are successful. But here's the thing - our ability to keep blaming the rugby bosses is going to run out, if it hasn't already. No player in 2025 can blame World Rugby if they end up with these symptoms in years to come. No one playing rugby in 2025 doesn't know that if you take repeated knocks to the head, you are opening yourself up to future problems. We know that. In fact, we already knew it when Shane Christie was playing professionally, even if we didn't know it as widely as we do today. It is terrible that this may be the thing that has happened to him and it is terrible that it is undoubtedly happening to rugby players playing today, but personal responsibility is now very much in play here.
