Tony Horne in conversation with Lucy Connolly. Episode 3 of 4. On July 29, 2024, a knife attack occurred at a Taylor Swift-themed children's dance workshop at the Hart Space studio in Southport, England. Three young girls – Alice da Silva Aguiar (9), Elsie Dot Stancombe (7), and Bebe King (6) were killed, and ten others were seriously injured. Axel Rudakubana, aged 17 at the time of the attack, carried out the mass stabbing. In addition to the three fatalities, eight children and two adults (dance instructor Leanne Lucas and local businessman Jonathan Hayes) suffered severe knife wounds. On the day of the attack, Lucy Connolly, from Northamptonshire, published an expletive-ridden post on X (formerly Twitter) calling for “mass deportation now” and urging her followers to “set fire to all the f**** hotels full of the bastards [asylum seekers] for all I care.” Her post concluded with the statement: “If that makes me racist, so be it.” A childminder and wife of a local councillor, she posted the message after encountering false information online claiming the attacker was a Muslim asylum seeker who arrived by boat. She also commented on a sword attack on the same day, writing, “I bet my house it was one of these boat invaders.” Her post was viewed 310,000 times and reposted nearly 940 times before she deleted it three-and-a-half hours later. She pleaded guilty to inciting racial hatred under the Public Order Act 1986. In October 2024, Birmingham Crown Court sentenced her to 31 months in prison. The judge noted she was well aware of how volatile the situation was and had actively encouraged actions that endangered lives. In May 2025, she challenged her sentence at the Court of Appeal, claiming she was “really angry, really upset” and “distressed that those children had died,” insisting she never intended to incite actual violence. The court rejected her appeal, ruling that the sentence was not excessive. She was released from HMP Peterborough in August 2025 under automatic release guidelines after serving 40% of her term. Following her release, she claimed she was treated as Sir Keir Starmer's “political prisoner”. The double standards in terms of her punishment sickened millions of people throughout Britain and beyond. In recent months, we've seen numerous people on the extreme left take to Twitter to rejoice at the murders of Charlie Kirk and Ann Widdecombe, and to encourage acts of violence against those who hold similar views. They have faced no comparable prosecutions or prison sentences. To be clear, Lucy regrets what she tweeted. She is not the first and will not be the last person to post something foolish on social media in the heat of the moment. She has good reason not to like the British establishment, having battled the NHS to admit negligence following the death of her 19-month-old son Harry in 2011. She is all too aware of how the establishment closes ranks and looks after its own, and sensed that was happening again over Southport. Lucy and Tony also discuss how the left-wing mob on Twitter/X seemed primarily motivated by the fact her husband, Raymond, was a Conservative councillor, rather than anything else, and they thought it acceptable to publish the couple's personal details and attempt to ruin their careers as well as compromise their safety.

We move away from animal issues this time for 100 minutes of free-range conversation (excuse the pun) and accessible psychology with film analysis legend Rob Ager.   This discussion actually took place face-to-face in Rob's house in Liverpool in August, quite a rarity for podcasts nowadays, and the idea was to pool our wealth of collective knowledge and experience to offer some useful and hopefully inspiring ideas, covering both the inner and outer truth strands of this podcast.   On the inner truth side, there are nods to the role of narratives in our lives, the roles we play, class & cultural issues, shame, humour, self-education, truth through disorders and keys to happiness. In terms of outer truth, we discuss among other things office politics, media narratives, 9/11 and its crisis-managed aftermath   Rob also talks about his interesting background (partly through films) and we briefly touch on previous LALO topics of interest, namely Southport, Lucy Letby and the establishment's favourite weapon against dissidents, the phrase ‘conspiracy theory'   Finally, we discuss alternative ‘New Hollywood' 70s films and the surprising effect that dark material and our own demons can have on us   Hope you enjoy it!   Feedback to lifeandlifeonlypod@gmail.com   Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/lifeandlife75   Twitter https://twitter.com/lifeonly75   Support the show at: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/antonyrotunno OR https://www.buymeacoffee.com/antonyrotunno   Antony's website (blog, music, podcasts, life coaching)  https://www.antonyrotunno.com   Antony's John Lennon podcast https://glassoniononjohnlennon.com   If you are interested in very affordable Life Coaching, or know someone who might be, you can contact Antony on lifeandlifeonlypod@gmail.com   Rob's website & you tube channels https://www.collativelearning.com/   https://www.youtube.com/@collativelearning https://www.youtube.com/@robag555 https://www.youtube.com/@robagergames   episode notes Rob on Billy Moore's podcast (Liverpool background & films) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lPYhqvd1Ns   Coppola on Rumblefish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoeBFpbDH_0   Tom Brown's School Days (1951) full film colourised https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axeanYQOPlM   I Swear (2025 film about Tourette's) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31514146/   Barry Morrow on his script for Rain Man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnoffZoQmuw   Rob on how to manage your boss (includes the 2007 Rob Ager!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIm3epFU2Tw   Robert Greene books (The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction & The Laws of Human Nature) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1303.The_48_Laws_of_Power https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20995.The_Art_of_Seduction https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39330937-the-laws-of-human-nature   The Power of Nightmares (Adam Curtis) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxBbw13Y3Gc&list=PLtsknc8NVnKMWXbxbm5STDuaBoxrYEtjk&index=25   Manufacturing Consent (Noam Chomsky) https://zeitgeistfilms.com/film/manufacturingconsent   Moviedrome documentary (cult films) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuA_m2llcRQ   Antony appears on a review of ‘Capricorn One' https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/show/b862b31f-5020-4bf0-98a9-0440f526de1f/id/42329730   Bill Hicks- It's Just A Ride https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgzQuE1pR1w   The Boy Who Cried Wolf (Aesop's fable) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9YllX5eeKY

A horrible incident from a year prior comes back to haunt a group of friends in the form of a killer dressed in a fisherman slicker.I Know What You Did Last Summer features a new set of friends encountering a horrific death similar to the events that occurred in Southport in 1997. Although this film features a new cast of friends, it brings back familiar faces of the series like Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Brandy Norwood. This film also retains the iconic fisherman slicker killer vibe with his hook. While the kills were well done in this movie, the characters are poorly developed, and the writing decisions will have fans of the series scratching their heads at the end.

On 22 June 1997, 51 year old Marion Barter left Southport, Queensland, to begin a year-long trip through England and Europe. Shortly before leaving Australia, Marion had secretly changed her name to Florabella Natalia Marion Remakel and obtained a new passport, but she told no one about the change. She travelled to England and remained in contact with family and friends for several weeks, but on 1 August 1997, Marion spoke to her daughter Sally for the final time. The following day, her passport was used to return to Australia, despite Marion apparently still claiming to be in England. Over the following weeks, Marion's life savings were withdrawn from her bank account, and after 15 October 1997, there were no further confirmed signs of Marion. In 2024, a coroner declared Marion deceased, but was unable to determine where, when or how she died.On the podcast, we examine what may have happened to Marion after her return to Australia, including her relationship with Ric Blum, the man she knew as Fernand Remakel, and the coroner's findings about his history of exploiting vulnerable women. We consider whether Ric Blum is responsible for Marion's disappearance or if there is a different explanation why Marion Barter vanished.Contact us at: weeknightmysteries@gmail.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/weeknightmysteriesTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@weeknightmysteries

694. Shreveport in the 1980s and 1990s. In the heart of the Deep South, silence was deadly — until a small group of ordinary people decided to fight back. Join us for a conversation with David Hylan, the award-winning filmmaker and author who just released the book, Small Town Rage: Fighting Back in the Deep South. His 2016 documentary of the same name first brought national attention to ACT UP Shreveport, one of the smallest yet fiercest AIDS activist chapters in America. Now, with his powerful new book, Hylan expands that story, drawing on decades of interviews, archival research, and personal accounts to reveal the courage, grief, humor, and resilience of the activists who confronted hospitals that turned patients away, churches that preached judgment, and politicians who refused to listen. Far from the media spotlight of New York and San Francisco, these men and women forced northwest Louisiana to face the AIDS crisis head-on—and helped change the national conversation about compassion, healthcare, and equality in the process. This is the story of rage, resistance, and the power of ordinary people who refused to disappear. Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

Is there anything in the whole range of food substances to be compared with it? And is there any city in the world where coffee is so delightfully concocted as in New Orleans? Travelers the world over unite in praise of Creole Coffee, or 'Caf' ' la Cr'ole,' as they are fond of putting it. The Creole cuisinieres succeeded far beyond even the famous chefs of France in discovering the secret of good coffee-making, and they have never yielded the palm of victory. There is no place in the world in which the use of coffee is more general than in the old Creole city of New Orleans, where, from the famous French Market, with its world-renowned coffee stands, to the olden homes on the Bayou St. John, from Lake Pontchartrain to the verge of Southport, the cup of 'Caf' Noir,' or 'Caf' au Lait,' at morning, at noon and at night, has become a necessary and delightful part of the life of the people, and the wonder and the joy of visitors.

In Part One of our exclusive two-part interview with Marcus Wareing, we sit down with one of the most influential chefs of his generation to trace the extraordinary story of how a shy teenager from Southport became one of the defining figures of modern British cooking. Marcus takes us from working in his father's fruit and veg warehouse as a boy to leaving home at 18 for The Savoy, before literally knocking on the door of Le Gavroche and asking for a job in one of the greatest kitchens in the world.Marcus then takes us inside the brutal, exhilarating kitchens that forged an extraordinary generation of British chefs, and recalls the first time he encountered a young Gordon Ramsay, describing him as a “f***ing machine” who nobody else in the kitchen could come close to. He reveals what it was really like becoming Gordon's right-hand man at Aubergine, why they gave a young Angela Hartnett just two weeks to survive, and how the relentless intensity eventually pushed Marcus towards burnout.It's a remarkable insight into a lost era of cooking: kitchens with no recipe books, where everything was done by eye, touch and feel, and where careers were forged through obsession, instinct and sheer endurance. Part One takes us all the way to Marcus winning his first Michelin star alongside Gordon, setting the stage perfectly for Part Two, where Marcus finally opens up about the explosive breakdown of their relationship and the 15-year feud that followed.You can book a virtual demonstration with Quooker to find the right setup for your kitchen and remember, until the end of August, if you use the code GO TO FOOD, you'll get free installation and a free Quooker glassware set.

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Sunday 19 October at Church House, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION From accusations of ‘two-tier' justice to an inability to tackle everyday criminality, the disarray enveloping British institutions is nowhere more evident than with the police. In recent times, intervening to stop widespread crime such as shoplifting, and solving – or even investigating – ‘traditional' crimes such as burglary has seemed less of a priority than sorting out petty disputes, enforcing speech codes, tackling catcalling or donning rainbow flags. When a couple were arrested for using a private parents' WhatsApp group to criticise their daughter's school, it seemed to sum up the petty, censorious nature of policing today. Policing impartiality has been called into question by what is described as a ‘two-tier' approach. Critics identify the perceived leniency towards Leeds Harehills rioters from the Roma community with a tough response to disturbances following the Southport murders as a turning point – not just in the exercise of public order itself, but in public perception of an unfair system. Since then, a report by Hardeep Singh, The Many Tiers of British Justice, has noted that there are ‘many examples of where identity politics and progressivist causes have trumped impartial policing'. Dismay has grown at police failure to tackle – and even alleged complicity in – the grooming gangs scandals; the seeming disparity in treatment of Lucy Connolly and Labour councillor Ricky Jones has added fuel to the fire. When the High Court recently ruled that uniformed officers should no longer take part in Pride events or parades, stressing that supporting a cause can ‘undermine the public's confidence in impartiality', it at least seemed like recognition of the two-tier problem. Police chiefs though reject the two-tier charge, citing limited resources, the need to police by consent, and the danger of judging complex situations through social-media clips. Others say ‘two-tier' has become a cliché, a dog whistle to protestors or a far-right conspiracy theory – each effectively hindering officers and the wider cause of justice. In any event, has policing not always required differential approaches to different groups or sections of society? For example, higher rates of stop and search among minorities are often justified as legitimately reflecting policing needs on the ground. Is there anything wrong with policies that reflect different needs and risks? Whatever the truth, police priorities are increasingly perceived as diverging from public concerns while the service faces significant challenges, simultaneously lacking in authority and public consent while also confronted by a crisis of purpose and identity. Does policing need wholesale reform to restore trust, or is the real challenge persuading the public it remains even-handed? Are accusations of two-tier policing justified, or just a cynical victimhood narrative hyped-up to make partisan political points? In a world where everyone can record and broadcast instantly, can policing survive the court of public opinion? SPEAKERS Peter Bleksley writer and broadcaster; former detective, Scotland Yard Luke Gittos criminal lawyer; author, Human Rights – Illusory Freedom; director, Freedom Law Clinic Sarah Phillimore barrister; co-founder, Fair Cop Hardeep Singh journalist; author, The many tiers of British justice: When identity politics and progressivist causes trump impartial policing; deputy director, Network of Sikh Organisations CHAIR Simon McKeon founder member, Our Fight UK; QPR season ticket holder; archivist

Nothing Can Hurt Me Any More' is the recently released - and critically acclaimed - album by Michael Weston King, singer-songwriter and one half of the country duo, My Darling Clementine, along with his wife Lou Dalglish.Two years ago their lives were rent asunder following the death of their 6 year old granddaughter Bebe King - the youngest of three children murdered in the attack at a dance class in Southport. Eight other children and two adults were seriously wounded in the incident which received worldwide coverage and was followed by riots on the streets of Southport. Michael's album, released on Bebe's birthday on April 4th, has been highly praised by Elvis Costello who's described it "a beautiful, complex piece of work".It's an uplifting and hopeful collection which reflects pain, anger and love,  as Michael explained to Misadventures in Music.

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Saturday 18 October at Church House and the Abbey Centre, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION After Labour's election last year, the new defence secretary, John Healey, wrote a memo to Cabinet colleagues in relation to the scandalous Afghan data leak and the subsequent cover-up of relocations. Healey stressed the need to ‘maintain control of the narrative', particularly in the wake of that summer's riots. The riots themselves were arguably fuelled by suppression of information about the Southport murderer, in an attempt to contain public reactions. The desire to control the narrative by curtailing public information has implications for the media's idealised role of telling ‘truth to power'.  Beyond super-injunctions, governments seem preoccupied with muting the widespread availability of counter-narratives on social media. Countries across Europe are introducing measures such as the UK's Online Safety Act or the EU's Digital Services Act, which are partly designed to deal with threats to the establishment narrative via suppressing what has been dubbed ‘misinformation'.  This mirrors governments' pressure on online and offline media during the Lockdown period to suppress any challenges to official, ‘consensus' health advice. However, the media stands accused of having taken it upon itself to have become more partisan in its reporting of our rapidly changing political landscape – championing a single, biased point of view, with little insight or empathy into what is driving new, popular concerns. Two recent events in America – the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the brutal stabbing of a young Ukrainian woman, Iryna Zarutska on the subway – have catalysed this sense that the mainstream media is more concerned with shaping narratives rather than reporting on them. In the case of Kirk, reaction from the mainstream media seemed to focus less on the appalling nature of the political violence or why he was so popular with millions of young people, than in communicating that Kirk was a ‘MAGA troll'.  With Zarutska, whose murder by a black repeat felon was captured on CCTV, the media ignored the story for 18 days, despite its dominance on social media. Eventually, the New York Times reported only how the case had ‘ignited a firestorm on the right', a culture-war framing echoed widely in the mainstream. In the UK, media narrative-shaping is a familiar accusation on everything from the coverage of the unexpectedly large ‘Unite the Kingdom' march to the Southport riots. Populist anger has for some time focused on the supposed bias, arrogance and aloof nature of what is dismissed as the ‘MSM'. There is fury at the way protests and movements are often described as ‘far', ‘hard', ‘extreme' or ‘ultra' right – with media outlets almost running out of adjectives to communicate the idea that these movements are thinly disguised racists. No wonder journalists have been shunned or abused when they turn up to report on events. Trust is declining. All this touches on an older debate: does the media shape or reflect reality? Anti-populist commentators regularly accuse media outlets of amplifying populist talking points, contributing to moral panics about the small boats or ‘whipping up' hate about asylum hotels. Nigel Farage's frequent appearances on BBC Question Time are seen as a key explanation for Reform's credibility, indeed for the size of the 2016 Brexit vote. Has the role of the media changed, or have different outlets always be partisan? What drives governments to control the narrative for public consumption? Is mainstream media ill-equipped to deal with the pace of political change or has it abandoned even the ideal of impartiality? Can anyone, new or old media, credibly claim to merely report events rather than try to shape them?

Sarah Hadland will be a familiar face to many, having played numerous roles over the years, but is probably best known for her role as Stevie in the BAFTA-nominated sitcom Miranda. Currently on stage in London's West End, she joins Nuala McGovern to discuss her latest role as Alice in The Truth, a fast-paced comedy of infidelity and duplicity. The second phase of the Southport inquiry will resume in September. It was set up after Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Alice da Silva Aguiar were murdered at a dance class in 2024. Its chairman Sir Adrian Fulford wants to find ways to respond to the dangers posed by violence-fixated individuals - individuals who may carry out extreme violence, where ideology is not the primary driver. The government programme Prevent focuses on tackling extremist ideologies that lead to violence and aims to stop people from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. Lord Anderson was the Independent Prevent Commissioner from January 2025 to April 2026, who published an independent review 'Lessons for Prevent' which also looked at why Prevent failed to stop the Southport attack. Some are asking whether misogyny should be considered an ideology within government schemes. Nuala discusses with Lord Anderson and Dr Ruth Tulley, a consultant forensic psychologist. We're in the middle of our third heatwave of the year - and temperatures are set to climb again later this week. Scientists say that what makes this year's heatwaves distinct is that right across Europe temperatures have remained high overnight as well as in the day. In June, London alone recorded five consecutive nights over 20 degrees Celcius, what meteorologists call "tropical nights". The temperatures inside many homes will have been much higher. Lots of us are reporting struggling to sleep. Consultant Paediatrician, Dr Guddi Singh and GP, Dr Sarah Jarvis join Nuala to discuss what to do if you are caring for a baby. The author Jennifer Saint has retold some of the best-known stories from Greek literature and mythology through the eyes of women: Ariadne, Atalanta, Electra and Hera. In her latest novel, This Immortal Heart, Jennifer turns to Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love and reimagines Aphrodites' relationship with Ares, the god of war. Jennifer joins Nuala to talk about how stories that originated over two thousand years ago and their themes can tackle contemporary questions about female agency and identity – and what happens when two seemingly opposite forces – love and war - are drawn irresistibly together.Presented by Nuala McGovern Producer: Louise Corley

Let's get this par-tea started as we connect with Russ Collier – owner and operator of Southport Tea, located at 5701 Sixth Ave in Downtown Kenosha. We dive deep into Russ growing up in Winthrop Harbor – a community so devoid of activities, that his family had to regularly visit our fine city of Kenosha for recreation and fun. Russ has an interesting story which brings him to the bustling city of Chicago, the west suburbs (where he discovered his love for tea), and bringing his family to Kenosha where he would eventually decide to leave the corporate world for something that would be more beneficial to his family life and mental health. In the fall of 2024, Russ launched Southport Tea, a simple table at Kenosha Public Market, which has now led to his own brick and mortar tea retail shop which opened this spring! Southport Tea is open Wednesdays – Sundays.

This week: Starmer's exit, Burnham's rise – and the court of King Andy.As Keir Starmer resigns after less than two years in office, Michael and Madeline ask what really brought his premiership to an end. Was Starmer simply overtaken by events, or did his downfall reveal something deeper: a disdain for politics, a mishandling of Southport and the grooming gangs scandal, and a growing gulf between Labour's governing class and the country?They also discuss Andy Burnham's march on Westminster. Is he the charismatic, communitarian figure Labour needs to take on Reform – or a political people-pleaser surrounded by the wrong people?Plus: what does the Conservatives' victory in Aberdeen South tell us about net zero, Reform and whether the Tories really are doomed to become Nigel Farage's roadkill?Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Have you ever felt called to something bigger—but fear, doubt, or uncertainty kept holding you back?  In this inspiring episode of Radio Medium, psychic medium Laura Lee connects with Sarah from Southport, UK, for a powerful psychic reading filled with spirit messages, career guidance, and profound spiritual validation. As Laura tunes into Spirit, Sarah's ancestors step forward—hardworking individuals connected to farming, entrepreneurship, and building successful lives through determination and perseverance. Their message is clear: stop holding back, trust your gifts, and fully commit to the growth of your hypnotherapy practice. Spirit encourages collaboration, community, and the expansion of her reach to serve more people through her healing work. The reading takes an extraordinary turn when renowned spiritual teacher Dolores Cannon appears as a guide, affirming Sarah's path toward Quantum Healing Hypnosis. Spirit also reframes Sarah's neurodivergent traits as strengths rather than limitations, encouraging her to embrace her unique perspective as part of her soul purpose. This uplifting mediumship reading offers spiritual guidance, intuitive insight, and empowering messages for entrepreneurs, healers, coaches, and anyone ready to trust their calling and create a life aligned with purpose.

The addictive and toxic nature of smartphones has ruined children's attention spans and their “in real life" connections and this ban could help them reconnect with the elusive parchment joy of books.Liam strongly echoes Allison's stance, arguing that tech platforms expose children to "relentless bullying" and corporate exploitation.

STARMER is shutting down FREE SPEECH. Attacking FARAGE and ELON MUSK  #JonGaunt #Elon Musk #NigelFarage #FreeSpeech #Two-Tier #HenryNowak Starmer is using the tragic murder of Henry Nowak to try and curtail all of our free speech and he must be stopped. In this emergency live show, Jon Gaunt will argue that Starmer is doing exactly what he accuses everyone else of doing; using Henry's death to stoke division and unrest. There is an urgent need for a public debate around two tier policing and justice in the UK. Starmer is deluded or simply lying when he says that it doesn't exist. We must be allowed to debate it.  Did he learn nothing from the tragic events of Southport where he left a power and information vacuum which was filled by riots ad civil unrest. He doesn't want to debate it because he was one of the architects of woke policing or is that unfair?  Have your say whilst we still have FREE SPEECH in the UK!

A 21-year-old mother disappears from her home in the Merseyside town of Southport just days before Christmas in 1998. Lynsey Quy's family know immediately that something is wrong. She adored her children, kept in regular contact with loved ones, and would never have walked away without explanation. Yet as concern grows and police begin searching for answers, suspicion quickly falls on the one person closest to her - her husband, Mitchell Quy.At first, Quy portrays himself as a worried husband desperate for Lynsey to return home safely. But behind the scenes, detectives begin uncovering evidence of a troubled and controlling marriage, along with inconsistencies in his account of the days leading up to her disappearance. As the investigation deepens, police come to believe Lynsey was murdered inside the family home in a calculated attempt to silence her forever. What followed would horrify even experienced investigators, with allegations that Quy dismembered Lynsey's body and disposed of her remains in an effort to destroy the evidence and evade justice.In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we examine the murder of Lynsey Quy and the chilling investigation that exposed the truth behind her disappearance. From Lynsey's early life and relationship with Quy, to the warning signs within their marriage, the desperate search to find her, and the forensic evidence that unravelled his lies, this is a deeply disturbing true crime case involving coercive control, manipulation, and an extraordinary effort to conceal murder.We also explore the painstaking police investigation, the searches for Lynsey's remains, the witness testimony that helped build the case against Quy, and the courtroom proceedings that revealed the horrifying extent of what prosecutors claimed happened after Lynsey was killed. This is a heartbreaking story about a young mother whose life was brutally taken, a family left devastated by unimaginable loss, and the determined pursuit of justice in the face of shocking cruelty.Sign the petition to keep Quy behind bars at the below link:https://www.change.org/p/robin-wilson-evil-wife-killer-mitchell-quy-due-for-release-help-keep-him-behind-barsIf you're experiencing domestic abuse and feel frightened of, or controlled by, a partner, an ex-partner or family member, it's important to remember that it's not your fault, and there is no shame in seeking help.

Yesterday, the Government published guidance on how the Equality Act should be implemented in relation to single-sex spaces. This follows the landmark Supreme Court ruling in April last year that the definition of a woman under the Equality Act should be based on biological sex. According to the new guidance, single-sex spaces - such as changing rooms and toilets - must be used on the basis of biological sex. This means, for instance, that a trans woman - a biological male who identifies as a woman - should not use female toilets or changing rooms, or a trans man - a biological woman who identifies as a man - should not use men's toilets. Alison Holt, the BBC's social affairs editor, joins Anita Rani to explain the guidance. Natalie Cassidy is the actor best known for playing Sonia Fowler in the BBC soap, EastEnders. She's also been a presenter and has a successful podcast, Life with Nat. She's now returned to the classroom to study Health and Social Care. Inspired by supporting her dad through end-of-life care at home, Natalie has enrolled to study towards a Level 3 qualification, with the aim of becoming a professional carer. She joins Anita to discuss the experience, which is documented in an eight-part BBC series, Natalie Cassidy: Caring Together.It's been nearly two years since the attack on a group of girls at a Taylor Swift–themed dance class in Southport. Three were murdered and others seriously injured. The families of those who survived say a court order protecting their identities has also left them feeling invisible. BBC Special Correspondent Judith Moritz has been hearing about the long-term impact on their daughters, and she joins Anita.And genre-defying musician and composer Hannah Peel joins us to talk about forging her unique career, whispers of encouragement she received from Paul McCartney and her new collaboration with Chinese percussionist Beibei Wang. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Simon Richardson
