Inside Britain's most secure interrogation room, Detective Constable David Campbell of Scotland Yard's anti-terror branch has just seven days to question the hijackers' neighbour from San Diego. A BBC News Long Form Audio production.
In this episode, legendary investigative journalist Ross Coulthart joins live from Australia to reveal mind-blowing, documented UFO/UAP encounters—including a massive, invisible triangular craft filmed by Scotland Yard helicopter police directly over London. Then, Middle East expert Edward Jones breaks down the tense standoff in the Strait of Hormuz, explaining the US Navy's "midnight shuttle" escorts of oil tankers. Retired NYPD Detective Vic Ferrari shares a raw look at a tragic Times Square stabbing and the critical need for mental health reform.
Una dramática y cautivadora serie documental que desvela un ángulo impactante y poco conocido de los crímenes de Whitechapel: cómo una despiadada banda de periodistas del The Star creó la leyenda de Jack el Destripador… y pudo haber contribuido a que escapara. A lo largo de tres intensas horas, nos adentramos en un thriller real que muestra cómo el reportero a destajo Fred Best y sus colegas manipularon los brutales asesinatos para vender periódicos. No solo distorsionaron los hechos: sembraron pistas falsas, fabricaron pruebas y publicaron especulaciones como si fueran verdades. Con titulares sensacionalistas y cartas falsas en las que se hacían pasar por el propio asesino, desviaron la investigación y convirtieron el trabajo de Scotland Yard en un auténtico desastre. Señalando sospechosos equivocados, The Star desató una histeria colectiva que transformó las calles de Whitechapel en un territorio dominado por la sospecha y la violencia. Mientras la ciudad se sumía en el pánico y la policía perseguía sombras, el verdadero asesino se desvanecía entre sus dedos. En su obsesión por la exclusiva, Fred Best y sus compañeros no solo dieron forma al mito de Jack el Destripador: se aseguraron de que jamás fuera capturado. Lo convirtieron en una sensación mediática, mientras las tragedias de sus víctimas quedaban sepultadas bajo el ruido ensordecedor de la prensa.
Ein Mann wird wenige Tage nach den Anschlägen vom 11. September 2001 in London von Scotland Yard verhört: Omar Al‑Bayoumi. Er bestreitet alle Vorwürfe.

This episode, we bring you two gems of a sort: Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes play The Crown Diamond and its short story equivalent ‘The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone' (both 1921). You can read the play here and the story here. The show notes will be available at https://bit.ly/DOD77sn (for all show notes, just replace ‘77' with the episode number in question). The episode will shortly be posted to our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@doingsofdoyle. Please like and subscribe. Synopsis of the short story Following his departure from Baker Street, Dr Watson, although busy with his medical practice, decides to call upon his old friend, Sherlock Holmes. Holmes's page, Billy, informs the doctor that the over-worked detective is actually asleep in his room, although curiously there is a life-size wax dummy of his old friend positioned by the sitting room window. In the midst of this odd scenario, Holmes appears to explain that he is investigating a baffling and perilous case involving the disappearance of one of the crown jewels, the famed Mazarin stone. At this point, Holmes's principal suspect, Count Negretto Silvius, calls at Baker Street and Watson is hastily dispatched to fetch Inspector Youghal from Scotland Yard. In the meantime, Holmes proposes to detain the elegant and dangerous jewel thief himself… Next time on Doings of Doyle… We begin our exploration of Conan Doyle's breakthrough novel, Micah Clarke.

The Metropolitan Police investigation into whether Peter Mandelson improperly shared confidential, potentially market-sensitive government information with Jeffrey Epstein had reportedly stalled because British investigators still did not have access to the unredacted Epstein files held by U.S. authorities. Scotland Yard had initially sought the material through informal law-enforcement channels before escalating the request into a formal mutual legal assistance process, which could take as long as a year and still offered no guarantee that the Justice Department would turn over everything investigators wanted. Mandelson, who had served as business secretary and later as Britain's ambassador to the United States, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on February 23, 2026, and his properties were searched. Investigators were examining allegations that he had passed sensitive information to Epstein while in government, although Mandelson had denied wrongdoing.Concerns were now growing that the investigation could ultimately collapse if Scotland Yard could not obtain the unredacted records, which were considered potentially crucial to determining exactly what Mandelson communicated to Epstein and whether any criminal offense had occurred. Detectives could still attempt to build a case through interviews with former politicians and officials, but the missing U.S. material appeared to represent a significant evidentiary gap. Reports suggested that the Trump administration was reluctant to release files that might generate additional political fallout, although the Justice Department denied refusing cooperation and said both countries were required to follow established legal procedures governing international evidence sharing. The controversy therefore placed the Mandelson investigation inside the larger dispute over Epstein transparency: even after millions of pages had been released, redactions and unreleased material remained capable of directly affecting active criminal investigations outside the United States.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Fears for Mandelson investigation as Met still doesn't have unredacted Epstein files | The Independent
Ab dem 1.9. in ARD Sounds bei „Dark Matters“. 25 Jahre nach den Anschlägen vom 11. September 2001 geht die investigative Podcast-Serie „Staatsgeheimnis 9/11“ einer der umstrittensten Fragen der jüngeren Geschichte nach: Welche Rolle spielte Saudi-Arabien? WDR-Journalist Nikolaus Steiner folgt der Spur des saudischen Staatsbürgers Omar Al-Bayoumi. Für die einen ist er ein unauffälliger Student. Für andere ist er ein Geheimdienstagent, der den Auftrag hatte, zwei der späteren Attentäter zu unterstützen. Al-Bayoumi bestreitet das und auch die saudische Regierung weist alle Vorwürfe zurück. In der Podcast-Serie “Staatsgeheimnis 9/11” sind erstmals Tonaufnahmen aus einem Verhör von Omar Al-Bayoumi durch Scotland Yard aus dem Jahr 2001 zu hören, die bis heute unter Verschluss sind. Außerdem spricht Steiner mit ehemaligen FBI-Ermittlern, Anwälten und Angehörigen der Opfer.

Brighton, 17. Juni 1934. Seit elf Tagen steht ein herrenloser Koffer in der Gepäckaufbewahrung des Bahnhofs. Als ein Bahnangestellter ihn öffnet, entdeckt die Polizei den Torso einer jungen Frau, sorgfältig verpackt, ohne Kopf und Beine. Nur einen Tag später taucht am Londoner Bahnhof King's Cross ein zweiter Koffer auf. Darin: die fehlenden Beine. Der Fall geht als Brighton Trunk Murders in die britische Kriminalgeschichte ein. In dieser Folge BRITPOD CRIME erzählen Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling die Geschichte zweier Koffermorde, die Scotland Yard vor eines der größten Rätsel seiner Zeit stellen. Während Ermittler Hunderte Vermisstenfälle überprüfen und einer Spur in das Milieu illegaler Abtreibungen folgen, bleibt die Identität der jungen Frau ungeklärt. Die Presse nennt sie nur noch “The Girl with the Pretty Feet”. Bis heute weiß niemand, wer sie war. Nur wenige Wochen später erschüttert ein zweiter Kofferfund Brighton. Diesmal kann das Opfer identifiziert werden: Violet Kaye. Der Verdacht fällt auf ihren Lebensgefährten Tony Mancini. Trotz belastender Indizien spricht ihn die Jury frei. Mehr als vierzig Jahre später gesteht Mancini den Mord öffentlich. Verurteilt werden kann er nicht mehr. Ein Fall endet mit einem Geständnis, der andere bleibt bis heute ungelöst. Warum wurde die unbekannte Tote nie identifiziert? Welche Rolle spielten ein berühmter Gerichtsmediziner, ein mysteriöser Arzt und möglicherweise einflussreiche Persönlichkeiten? Und weshalb zählen die Brighton Trunk Murders auch mehr als neunzig Jahre später zu den rätselhaftesten Verbrechen der britischen Kriminalgeschichte?

No Mel or Sarah this week, so the boys have been left unsupervised with the Talking Pictures TV schedules. What could possibly go wrong? With three weeks of cinematic treasures to choose from, Scott, Hal, Daniel and this week's host, Gareth, have each been rummaging through the listings in search of something they think deserves a place on your watchlist. Scott has selected Tomorrow at Ten, Lance Comfort's cracking 1963 British thriller starring John Gregson, Alec Clunes and a splendidly sinister Robert Shaw. Shaw plays Marlow, a kidnapper whose scheme involving the young son of a wealthy businessman comes with a particularly nasty ticking deadline. John Gregson is the detective faced with finding the boy before time runs out. Lean, tense and running at around 80 minutes, it is the sort of economical British thriller that gets on with the job without feeling the need to hang around for another half-hour explaining itself. Daniel, meanwhile, has gone for Green for Danger, Sidney Gilliat's marvellous 1946 murder mystery set in a wartime hospital during the Blitz. When a patient dies on the operating table, the arrival of Scotland Yard's Inspector Cockrill, played with enormous relish by Alastair Sim, suggests that something rather more sinister than medical misfortune may be involved. Trevor Howard, Sally Gray, Rosamund John and Leo Genn are among the suspects in a film adapted from Christianna Brand's novel and combining a proper murder mystery with a wonderfully dry streak of British humour. And apparently one Alastair Sim film wasn't enough. Hal has selected The Green Man, the gloriously dark 1956 comedy in which Sim plays Harry Hawkins, an outwardly respectable watchmaker who has found a rather more lucrative sideline as a professional assassin. Unfortunately for Hawkins, his latest carefully arranged murder keeps being interrupted by George Cole's enthusiastic vacuum cleaner salesman. Add Terry-Thomas, Jill Adams, Raymond Huntley, Dora Bryan, Arthur Lowe and Richard Wattis to the proceedings and you have ninety minutes of beautifully controlled comic chaos. Directed by Robert Day and written by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat, it also gives this week's choices a neat little connection with Green for Danger. Finally, Gareth has decided that Britain simply isn't big enough for him this week and has gone continental with Georges Franju's extraordinary Les Yeux sans visage, better known as Eyes Without a Face. Made in 1960 and starring Pierre Brasseur, Alida Valli and Edith Scob, Franju's French horror classic concerns a brilliant surgeon desperately trying to restore the face of his disfigured daughter. Unfortunately, his chosen method of doing so makes even the most questionable private cosmetic clinic look reassuringly respectable. Beautiful, eerie and genuinely unsettling, it mixes fairy-tale imagery, medical horror and dreamlike black-and-white photography into something that still feels strikingly modern more than sixty years later. So that's four films, two Alastair Sims, one psychopathic Robert Shaw, a professional hitman, a deeply worrying surgeon and a vacuum cleaner salesman. Just another perfectly normal week at The Official Talking Pictures TV Podcast.

Thames Water has rolled out yet another hosepipe ban at a time when reserves at supposedly full of water waiting to be treated. Is it time to reverse privatisation? Prime minister Andy Burnham's bus fare cap is ruffling feathers, with some saying it is a mere sweetener with relatively little impact on the lives of many living and working in the UK. How long will the drip-feed of policies go on? Didn't Burnham devise a plan whilst plotting to get the top job? Jeremy Kyle talks about these pressing issues with: Political commentator, Charlie Rowley, shadow chancellor, Mel Stride, former deputy speaker of the House of Commons, Nigel Evans, Conservative peer, Lord Kempsell, Talk's international editor, Isabel Oakeshott, and retired Scotland Yard detective chief inspector, Mike Neville.

Time travel with us to London back in December 1931. Right off the bat a soldier disabled from WW I blew himself up with a hand grenade; our heroine was so close she got her bell rung! Among the Mad is Jacqueline Winspear's sixth Maisie Dobbs novel. Maisie's summoned to work with Scotland Yard to help solve the case. They're up against the clock because the Prime Minister's life has been threatened.Maisie is also worried about her trusted assistant, Billy, and his wife, Doreen, who has not been able to accept the death of their daughter. Another concern Maisie is faced with is her dear friend, Priscilla, who is battling dragons of her own.The caringness and understanding of our protagonist shines through as she meets people where they are and tries to move them forward. Never does she rush, she thoroughly asks questions no one else is asking, and she listens intently to answers, compiling the clues piece by piece like putting together a jigsaw puzzle.The Superintendent Chief MacFarlane called Maisie in to work on the case after receiving a threatening note that mentioned her name. Maisie's approach differs from the men she's working with because she holds to the adages, “...inside the villain is a victim” and leave no stone unturned.Maisie's dad, Frankie, referred to London as a desperate place, with those who cannot find work contrasted with those who've got too much. Sadly, we learned that the isolation returning soldiers were fighting was a much different battle than the one they fought alongside comrades in the trenches. Won't you join us as we join Maisie and Billy to untangle the mysteries! Blessings dear listeners! Let's connect to reflect!https://recapbookchat.com/2026/07/13/among-the-mad-maisie-dobbs-6-episode-236/
Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Attia Qureshi, a coach and negotiation expert who is co-author, with John Richardson, of Never Settle. There's no shortage of great negotiation advice out there, yet in real conversations with real stakes and real emotions, that advice often fails to turn into action. This book tackles that gap between insight and habit. Attia shares why emotions are not a distraction from negotiation but central to it, why getting clear about what you actually want is harder than it sounds, and how we leave value on the table without realizing it. You'll hear practical stories, from resetting a difficult relationship with a glass of lemonade to expanding the pie in a salary negotiation, plus small daily exercises for building resilience to rejection and learning to say no in a way that strengthens relationships rather than damaging them. If you're looking for practical, doable ways to become a more confident negotiator and influencer, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "You can get more by caring about what the other person needs and building a strong relational foundation." "People are not born amazing negotiators. They develop that skill over time, just like people are not born confident." "You have to practice that small step out in the real world where the stakes are low and build that skill day after day, month after month." "You and I have probably already negotiated half a dozen times today." "When someone gives us something, we want to return the favor." "New studies now show that 90 to 95% of decision-making comes from unconscious emotional processing." "So many of us quit before we even start." "But if we do have a goal and we do prepare for the conversation, our likelihood of success is double." "A good negotiation doesn't always mean getting 'yes' at the end of it." "I always tell my students, people can almost always help you. It depends on if they want to or not." Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:06 Start of Interview 02:17 Growing Up: Early Lessons in Conflict 07:10 Negotiation and Confidence Are Skills, Not Personality 08:04 Life Is Full of Everyday Negotiations 10:30 Why Negotiation Training Often Fails 12:30 Resetting a Difficult Relationship 17:20 Influence vs. Manipulation 22:33 Emotions, Fear, and Building Resilience 28:00 Using the Emotion Wheel 29:36 Getting Clear on What You Really Want 33:39 Expanding the Pie: Creating Value 40:50 The Power of Saying No 47:27 Teaching Kids to Negotiate 51:23 End of Interview 51:55 Andy Comments After the Interview 55:22 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Attia and her work at AttiaQureshi.com.

Prince Andrew's infamous Pizza Express alibi is framed as more than just an absurd footnote in the Epstein scandal; it is presented as a symbol of institutional cowardice and elite protection. The core outrage is that a chain restaurant appeared more motivated to scrutinize the Woking claim than Scotland Yard or the broader British establishment seemed to be. Instead of treating Andrew's statement as a serious, testable alibi that demanded receipts, staff interviews, timelines, records, and hard verification, the system let it become a joke, a meme, and a public spectacle. The monologue argues that if Andrew had been an ordinary man, investigators would have ripped the claim apart immediately, but because he was royal, the response became cautious, delicate, and deferential.The deeper point is that the Pizza Express story exposes the double standard at the heart of the Epstein fallout: survivors are relentlessly questioned, doubted, and dissected, while powerful men are granted space, patience, and institutional softness. Andrew's alibi is portrayed as a ridiculous but revealing window into how the justice system behaves differently when titles, palaces, reputations, and establishment interests are involved. The outrage is not really about pizza or Woking, but about a system that seems aggressive when dealing with the powerless and suddenly timid when confronting the powerful. In that sense, the monologue presents the Pizza Express episode as a humiliating emblem of royal exceptionalism, where a survivor gets a microscope, a prince gets a cushion, and accountability gets buried under privilege.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Pizza Express carried out an internal inquiry into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's infamous claim that he was at its Woking branch on March 10, 2001 — the same date Virginia Giuffre alleged she was sexually abused by him after being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew used the Woking visit during his 2019 BBC Newsnight interview as part of his denial, saying he had taken Princess Beatrice to a children's party there and remembered it because going to Pizza Express in Woking was an unusual thing for him to do. According to the BBC's reporting, Pizza Express checked what it could, including records and former staff, but found no evidence proving he had been there — and no evidence definitively proving he had not.BBC Newsnight also revisited the claim and found no record of anyone seeing Andrew at the restaurant that day. The BBC tried to get answers from the Metropolitan Police about whether royal protection officers had accompanied him, but the Met refused to confirm or deny whether it held relevant information, citing national security and protection issues. So the bottom line is brutal: one of Andrew's most famous Epstein alibis remains unsupported by any clear public evidence, and the most visible attempt to test it appears to have come not from police producing a clean answer, but from Pizza Express itself trying to verify whether the former royal was ever actually in that Woking branch.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Pizza Express held inquiry into Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's Woking claim
Prince Andrew's infamous Pizza Express alibi is framed as more than just an absurd footnote in the Epstein scandal; it is presented as a symbol of institutional cowardice and elite protection. The core outrage is that a chain restaurant appeared more motivated to scrutinize the Woking claim than Scotland Yard or the broader British establishment seemed to be. Instead of treating Andrew's statement as a serious, testable alibi that demanded receipts, staff interviews, timelines, records, and hard verification, the system let it become a joke, a meme, and a public spectacle. The monologue argues that if Andrew had been an ordinary man, investigators would have ripped the claim apart immediately, but because he was royal, the response became cautious, delicate, and deferential.The deeper point is that the Pizza Express story exposes the double standard at the heart of the Epstein fallout: survivors are relentlessly questioned, doubted, and dissected, while powerful men are granted space, patience, and institutional softness. Andrew's alibi is portrayed as a ridiculous but revealing window into how the justice system behaves differently when titles, palaces, reputations, and establishment interests are involved.
