A new strategy for tackling rural crime across Wales will offer greater protection for people and wildlife in the countryside, according to the Welsh government. Priority areas include tackling damage to ancient monuments, or heritage crime, and attacks on livestock, with new awareness courses for animal owners. A new ban on the use of lead in ammunition has been announced by the UK government, in a bid to stop the toxic metal contaminating fields and waterways. Shot containing more than 1% lead and bullets with a lead content of more than 3% are to be prohibited. It's a long-awaited move that ministers say will protect iconic wildlife and improve water quality. There'll be a three year transition period, but conservation groups say they'd like to see it introduced straight away.All week we're taking a deep dive into the UK's shellfish industry. Almost 90% of the mussels produced in Scotland are grown in Shetland.  We visit a farm which produces 1000 tonnes a year on long ropes dotted on 24 sites around the islands.  Should British farms and supermarkets have to pay the travel and visa costs of seasonal staff? The idea's been suggested as a way of protecting workers travelling to the UK to pick fruit and vegetables, some of whom are taking out loans to get here, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation. The Employer Pays Principle feasibility study, jointly commissioned by the government and the Seasonal Worker Taskforce, looked into the idea which has support from some retailers and recruitment agencies. The National Farmers Union however, has concerns about the challenges growers would face if forced to cover these additional costs, from job cuts to reduced production.

In our end of season round table episode my three guests each discuss a topic of interest.The topics under discussion are:How the approach to rural EV infrastructure is changingThe second hand market (how experiences may differ and ways to attract and better support new drivers that come in through this channel)Will increased range, new charging solutions, and familiarity with EVs lead to lower demand for en-route charging? If so how will this affect CPOs?And I will be asking the question: Charger booking. Do we need this?Guests:Gemma Robinson: Gemma Robinson is the EV Infrastructure Project Manager at the Highlands and Islands Regional Transport Partnership (HITRANS). She loves working with five partner Councils and Shetland on their charging network strategy and delivery across the region, particularly as the Scottish charging network is changing so dramatically. Her drive comes from providing a just/fair opportunity for everyone to safeguard the planet, with rural and accessible charging a particular passion. Current project details: https://hitrans.org.uk/projects/ev-infrastructure-shared-service/Ed Walsh: Ed is Head of Product at Zapmap. His focus is ensuring Zapmap's app meets the needs of EV drivers and creates a sustainable business that continues to accelerate the shift to low carbon mobility. He also leads partnerships, exploring ways that Zapmap's capabilities can combine with those of others, such as Hive, to deliver value to an even wider EV audienceBen MacDonald: Ben has worked in various sustainability focussed roles throughout his career. He found himself somewhat disheartened attending a business and sustainability conference (read greenwashing conference) in Prague and so he decided that his efforts were best spent teaching Geography (sustainability) and Maths in schools in SE London. During this time he also worked with local communities on air quality issues. In 2016 he didn't buy a second hand Nissan Leaf because he couldn't charge from home. This began his entrepreneurial journey which led to him founding Nodum which is addressing the fundamental inequalities associated with the charging gap.https://www.nodum.co.ukThis season of the podcast is sponsored by Zapmap, the free to download app that helps EV drivers search, plan, and pay for their charging.Links in the show notes:Bristol gets an electric bus fleet - Cool thing.A totally recyclable bag - Cool thingEpisode produced by Arran Sheppard at Urban Podcasts: https://www.urbanpodcasts.co.uk(C) 2019-2025 Gary Comerford Support me: Patreon Link: http://www.patreon.com/evmusingsKo-fi Link: http://www.ko-fi.com/evmusings The Books:'So, you've gone electric?' on Amazon :

Ein Wikinger im Dienst der byzantinischen Kaiser – und auf dem Weg zur Krone Norwegens. Bei dieser Geschichte würde wohl kaum jemand zuerst an einen Wikinger denken. Und doch ist der Protagonist ein echter Abenteurer des Nordens: Harald Hardrada – der Harte. Schon als Teenager zieht er in die Schlacht – und muss danach ins Exil fliehen. Doch das ist erst der Anfang eines unglaublichen Lebenswegs: Er dient einem Großfürsten im heutigen Kiew, wird Elitesoldat und Leibwächter der byzantinischen Kaiser in Konstantinopel, kämpft in Sizilien, in Armenien – und wird Teil der Intrigen und Machtspiele des Oströmischen Reiches. Dann kehrt er zurück. Nach Norwegen. Und stellt den Thronanspruch, den er sich über Jahre hinweg erkämpft hat. Diese Folge führt uns von den Fjorden Skandinaviens über das Mittelmeer bis tief in den Osten Europas – und erzählt die Geschichte eines Mannes, der wie kaum ein anderer für das Ende der Wikingerzeit steht. Außerdem sprechen wir allgemein über die Wikinger: ihre Beutezüge, ihre Kultur und ihr Aussehen.

Shetland, Scotland native and independent journalist Jen Stout was in Russia in late February 2022 when the war with Ukraine broke out and quickly left for a border post in southern Romania to cover the great flood of refugees who were fleeing the fighting. Weeks later she entered Ukraine to report first-hand from the front lines and cities across the country. A writer with a great sense of empathy, Jen's main interest was not military strategy or international politics, but the Ukrainian people – their indomitable spirit, their poetic sensibilities  their hopes and fears. Her perspective is from the ground and her stories are filed from night trains, birthday parties, military hospitals and bunkers. Her very moving book is entitled: “Night Train to Odessa: Covering the  Human Cost of the Russia's War.”Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

John Cena's back on top… and Kevin Nash has thoughts. In this week's episode, Big Kev breaks down the shockwaves of WrestleMania and why he thinks the ending was more “Hogan in '96” than the crowd may have realized. From kayfabe power dynamics to merch-moving politics, it's all under the microscope as Kevin sets the table for what should come next. But before we get into the squared circle, we take a cinematic detour. Michael Mann's Heat, Kevin Bacon playing a literal devil's bounty hunter, and how many rewatches does it take to admit Collateral might not hold up? Kev's got opinions, Sean's got DVD nostalgia, and somehow Al Pacino ends up with a jobber's gimmick. Welcome to Kliq This. The boys also break down what it really means to “look like a star” in today's wrestling climate—whether you're a 6'10” killer or a 5'1” flipper. Kev doesn't mince words when comparing Rey Mysterio's legacy to modern high-flyers, and yes, someone ends up being called a Shetland pony. Is the WWE pricing out the working-class fan? Is Heyman really the MacGuffin that holds the industry together? And why do modern entrances feel more like Coachella sets than fight-night spectacles? Kev walks through the economics, the nostalgia, and the fire (literally) of what makes a great entrance… and why Diesel's never gotten the love it deserved. And finally, WrestleMania predictions fly fast and furious—including a huge twist involving Cena, Cody, and Paul Heyman. Kev sees the chessboard clearly, even if it ends with someone becoming a “Heyman bottom.” If that line doesn't get your attention, nothing will. Watch now—before the markets open.

Knitting and wool are so essential in the Faroe Islands that in the early 1800s, exports of sweaters and socks made up about half of the economy. Today, the nation of about 55,000 people has 8+ knitwear brands, 2 active spinning mills, and 70,000 ewes. Sissal Kristiansen, the owner of knitwear company Shisa Brand, started an initiative called The Wool Islands to celebrate the heritage and potential of Faroese fiber. “We owe it to our past and our future to utilise the natural resources that we have, and on the Faroe Islands, that is wool,” she says. The first project of the Wool Islands was a 15-minute documentary that takes viewers on a sweeping journey through the Faroese landscape, meeting shepherds, knitters, and of course sheep. Available to watch free on YouTube and the project's website, the film welcomes you to the small country, which is located in the North Atlantic between Shetland and Iceland. Today, the economy of the Faroe Islands relies on tourism; the film shows how enticing a destination it is for knitters, spinners, and textile lovers. Sheep and knitting are everywhere in the Faroe Islands, but maintaining the quality and value of the local wool depends on visitors, locals, knitters, and consumers to recognize its unique importance. Drawing on the natural colors produced by the native sheep, Faroese knitting patterns are characterized by graphic, highly contrasting stranded patterns that generally carry floats over less than five stitches. Sissal's designs for Shisa Brand feature bold traditional motifs in contemporary silhouettes and scales. Some of Shisa Brand's iconic garments feature black-and-white geometric patterns, and the ready-to-wear items are handmade by local handknitters using Faroese wool. Undeterred by wool's reputation for scratchiness next to the skin, she celebrates the lofty texture, warmth, and silkiness of the dual-coated fleece. Hearing Sissal speak about her home and her passion for Faroese wool will leave you yearning to wear Faroese knitwear, knit with Faroese yarn, and visit the country's wool islands.

Do those photos you've been seeing of the otherworldly landscapes of the Isle of Skye or the white-sand beaches of the Outer Hebrides keep catching your eye? This episode will help you decide if they're worth adding to your itinerary. Exploring Scotland's islands is like stepping into another world—each with its own unique charm, history, and rugged beauty. But with so many to choose from, it can be tricky to know if they're even worth adding to your itinerary in the first place—and which ones deserve a spot if you do. In this episode of the Scotland, Your Way series, I'm guiding you through the must-visit islands of the Hebrides, Orkney, and Shetland. You'll get a feel for what makes each one special, plus practical tips on how to get there. Whether you're short on time or planning a longer adventure, you'll leave with a clear idea of whether Scotland's islands are worth adding to your itinerary—and which ones to prioritize based on how much time you have. → Get SUPPORT designing your SCOTLAND TRIP ← Connect w/ Angela on Instagram LISTEN BACK: Episode 147: The Bahamas // Choosing the Right Island Episode 176: The Greek Island Matchmaker Episode Episode 237: Scotland, Your Way // A Guide to Every Region

On this week's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Peter and Abbey dive into the chaos, comedy, and controversy surrounding Mother's Day, while Peter desperately tries to navigate the unwritten rules of making the day special—without accidentally putting his foot in it.From the hilarious debate over what actually constitutes an acceptable Mother's Day gift (is a lie-in really enough?) to the listener stories of husbands who spectacularly missed the mark, this episode is packed with laughs, frustration, and the ultimate relationship truths.Plus, Abbey reveals her latest impulse decision involving two Shetland ponies and three sheep, while Peter gets grilled over his very suspicious ‘pre-golf swim'. The Agony Abs section is all about sibling rivalry, freeloading family members, and the eternal question: why don't stepmums get enough Mother's Day recognition?!If you want to submit a question to the pod, hit the link below!https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Mv3i0N5Jm1Kkjvd-4iUkpJEV1_Tisgq58siorNb9zS0/editOslo Skin Lab: https://www.osloskinlab.co.uk/products/the-solution-collagen?campcode=TSIFMEA0925UKO&utm_source=Instagram%20&utm_medium=Influencer&utm_content=IG_influencer&utm_campaign=TSIFMEA0925UKO_AbbeyClancy6030

There've been cases of foot and mouth disease in Germany, Hungary and Romania this spring. How would we fare if it crossed the Channel? We're talking about biosecurity all this week, how to prevent disease, like FMD, from getting into the country and how to stop it spreading if it does. Livestock farmers have to follow strict rules when they move their animals. They also have to record all movements to ensure each individual cow or sheep can be traced in the event of an outbreak of a contagious disease. Cattle passports were introduced in 1998 after the BSE crisis and since 2010 all sheep have to be electronically tagged, a response to the major foot and mouth outbreak in 2001. We visit a south Cumbrian auction to hear about biosecurity measures and to see what farmers make of them. And James Wood, Professor of veterinary epidemiology at Cambridge University, tells us that in order to prevent the spread of disease, biosecurity measures are just part of the story. A group of cross party MPs has told the Government that farmers are way down the pecking order compared to the big supermarkets and food processors, and often feel powerless to challenge questionable behaviour by them. Yesterday in Parliament Alistair Carmichael, Liberal Democrat MP for Orkney and Shetland and also Chair of the Environment Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee, introduced what's called a ten minute rule bill; the ‘Food Supply Chain Fairness Bill' aims to give farmers a more level playing field. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

It's so good to be back with you bringing another series of Making Stitches Podcast to your ears!My guest for this episode is Felicity aka Felix Ford, an artist who works in colour, sound and yarn. I first heard about Felix's work when a mutual friend contacted me and suggested she might be a good guest for the podcast – she was right!Before our chat which features in this episode, Felix asked to send me a couple of her books and an invitation to join one of her online courses so I could get a proper feel for her work. I signed up for the ‘Colour at Play' Course in the hope I would be able to improve my skills at marrying colours together when I design a crochet project. In addition to this, I discovered that Felix had a podcast herself – the KNITSONIK Podcast in which she recorded sounds and wove them together with interviews, chats about her work and her own musical compositions.I really enjoyed getting to know Felix through her work, and then by chatting to her late last year ready for this podcast episode. It was genuinely joyful to hear about Felix's experiences including learning to colour match oil paint to a basket of eggs, how designing yarny covers for her walking stick diverted conversations with strangers away from her disability to her creativity and how her work with sound, colour and yarn has led her to setting up the KNITSONIK school.I have to say a huge thank you to Felix for being so generous with her time and for allowing me to use some of her music in the podcast episode. You can find the KNITSONIK podcast here if you would like to hear more of Felix's audio work. (I can especially recommend the Shetland Wool Week episode)You can find the KNITSONIK website here.For the full show notes for this episode, please visit the Making Stitches Podcast website. To join the mailing list for the Making Stitches Newsletter, please click onto this link.The theme music is Make You Smile by RGMusic from Melody Loops .The Making Stitches logo was designed by Neil Warburton at iamunknown.You can support Making Stitches Podcast with running costs through Ko-fi.Making Stitches  Podcast is supported by the Making Stitches Shop which offers Making Stitches Podcast merchandise for sale as well as Up the Garden Path crochet patterns created by me & illustrated by Emma Jackson.Making Stitches Podcast is presented, recorded and edited by Lindsay Weston.

On 20 February, 1472, Orkney and Shetland officially became part of Scotland having been offered up as security for the dowry of the daughter of King Christian of Norway and Denmark. The marriage was aimed at quelling a long-standing tax-related feud between the two powers. But as time wore on, it began to feel as though the Scandinavians just didn't really want Orkney and Shetland all that much. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly look at how Vikings had come to control the islands in the first place; reveal why the citizens of Shetland have never stopped loving their Scandi past; and explain why if you want to properly describe the pattern variations of certain breeds of sheep you might need to learn a dead language…  Further Reading: • ‘On this day 1472: Orkney and Shetland join Scotland' (The Scotsman, 2015): https://www.scotsman.com/arts-and-culture/day-1472-orkney-and-shetland-join-scotland-1512113  • ‘The islands of Orkney and Shetland passed into Scottish ownership' (History Scotland, 2022): https://www.historyscotland.com/history/the-islands-of-orkney-and-shetland-passed-into-scottish-ownership-on/  • ‘20th February 1472: Orkney and Shetland Isles given to Scotland by Norway as a wedding dowry' (HistoryPod, 2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COI05mwNda4  This episode first aired in 2023 Love the show?

Donald Trump has left the world reeling with a plan to turn Gaza into *checks notes* “the Riviera of the Middle East”. He vowed that the US will “take over” and “own” the Gaza strip, effectively endorsing the ethnic cleansing of 1.8 million Palestinians who would have “no alternative” but to leave. With rumours circling that his inner-circle are calling him an “HR manager” rather than a leader, in classic style, Keir Starmer has pushed back but avoided directly criticising Trump.News Agents co-host Lewis Goodall joins Nish and Coco to discuss this latest tidal wave of horror and whether Starmer has it in him to stand for something.On a more hopeful note, the decision to greenlight the giant new Rosebank oilfield off Shetland has been ruled unlawful by the courts. At the forefront of the fight has been Uplift Director Tessa Khan, who calls in to celebrate this major win for climate action and let us know how we can stop this oilfield for good.Later, Coco sinks her teeth into our household waste, after Green-led Bristol Council unleashes the wrath of local residents. CHECK OUT THESE DEALS FROM OUR SPONSORS Shopify: https://www.shopify.co.uk/podsavetheukAura Frames: https://www.auraframes.com Code: PSTUK  Useful LinksGet involved with the Stop Rosebank Campaignhttps://www.stopcambo.org.uk/https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/contact-an-mp-or-lord/contact-your-mp/GuestsLewis GoodallTessa KhanAudio CreditsThe GuardianPod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.Contact us via email: PSUK@reducedlistening.co.ukInsta: https://instagram.com/podsavetheukTwitter: https://twitter.com/podsavetheukTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheukFacebook: https://facebook.com/podsavetheukYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@PodSavetheUK

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Saga of the Earls of Orkney, as told in the 13th Century by an unknown Icelander. This was the story of arguably the most important, strategically, of all the islands in the British Viking world, when the Earls controlled Shetland, Orkney and Caithness from which they could raid the Irish and British coasts, from Dublin round to Lindisfarne. The Saga combines myth with history, bringing to life the places on those islands where Vikings met, drank, made treaties, told stories, became saints, plotted and fought.With Judith Jesch Professor of Viking Studies at the University of NottinghamJane Harrison Archaeologist and Research Associate at Oxford and Newcastle UniversitiesAnd Alex Woolf Senior Lecturer in History at the University of St AndrewsProducer: Simon TillotsonIn Our Time is a BBC Studios Audio ProductionReading list:Theodore M.
