To so many women the symptoms of pregnancy are instant, intense and unmistakeable; however some make it the full nine months without having any idea they're even pregnant. This phenomenon is known as cryptic pregnancy, and the British Medical Journal suggests it's more common than triplets. Nuala McGovern is joined by two women who have experienced this first-hand, plus Professor of Midwifery, Helen Cheyne to discuss.Actor Karen Pittman earned an Emmy nomination for her performance as The Morning Show's hardworking producer Mia Jordan, alongside co-stars including Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston. As the newsroom drama returns to Apple TV+ for a fourth season, Karen joins Nuala to discuss the show's themes, from truth and deepfakes, to women in the workplace. Karen also featured in the Netflix adaptation of Judy Blume's teen romance Forever and is known to fans of Sex and the City spin off, And Just Like That, as Dr Nya Wallace.Poet Nikita Gill tells Nuala about her latest book Hekate the Witch. She is the Greek goddess of magics, the crossroads, keys and necromancy. Nikita retells Hekate's story, from being an orphaned child brought up in the Underworld to becoming a powerful goddess seeking revenge for her family.A Kenyan High Court has issued an arrest warrant for a British national, suspected of killing a 21-year-old Kenyan woman, Agnes Wanjiru, more than a decade ago. Agnes was found dead in 2012 in the grounds of a hotel near an army base, nearly three months after she had allegedly spent an evening socialising with British soldiers. Hannah Al-Othman, a journalist for the Guardian who originally broke the story at the Sunday Times, and the BBC's Akisa Wandera, senior East Africa journalist based in Nairobi speak to Nuala.

We're revisiting another brilliant conversation for our special Menopause Matters Season — this time with the inspiring Breeda Bermingham. She's a social entrepreneur, founder of the Midlife Women Rock Project, and author of Midlife Women Rock: A Menopause Story for a New Generation. A former midwife and nurse, Breeda went back to full-time education at 49, completing both a psychology degree and a master's in sociology. Impressive doesn't even begin to cover it! This was such a moving conversation — Breeda's wisdom and passion continue to have a profound impact on me. With more and more fear around menopause conversations, Breeda's call to action on menopause is just as timely as ever. Here's what we cover: -Why she wrote her book and the urgency of changing menopause narratives -Breaking taboos and giving women's voices space to be heard -The legacy of Feminine Forever and the medicalization of menopause -Her Menopause Cafés in Ireland and the power of shared stories -What it was like returning to full-time study at 49 -Practical ways women can take more control of their experience -Why sleep is so critical for long-term health -Celebrating how amazing women are before, during, and after menopause And so much more!   If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, share it and leave us a 5* review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you're listening.

In this week's show Lian is joined by Paula Robinson. As an intuitive interior designer, Paula understands the profound effect that the spaces where we live and work have on our health, happiness and success in life. Often called the ‘space whisperer', she helps people to create living and working environments that transform their lives on all levels. Paula has been an interiors columnist for The Sunday Times, the Sunday Telegraph and Move Or Improve? magazine, and is the author of "The Healing Home & Garden: Reimagining Spaces for Optimal Wellbeing" and "The Room Planner: Over 100 Practical Plans For Your Home". Paula is happiest in nature - especially by the sea - and loves designing outdoor spaces. She is passionate about the environment, sustainable design, re-purposing furniture and objects, and supporting craftspeople over mass-producers. In this episode, Lian and Paula explore how our homes shape our bodies, minds, and mythic lives… the primal ways space soothes or unsettles us, and the quiet work of making a dwelling that heals. Together, they trace the path from head to heart, from trend to truth, and from copybook rules to the felt sense of sanctuary. Together, they journey through refuge and prospect, the simple power of moving a chair, and why bedrooms and workspaces ask for special care. Paula shares how intuitive design emerges, how objects carry the craft and energy of their makers, and how plants, animals, light, and air restore a room's vitality. At the centre of this conversation is a gentle invitation… listen to what your home is already telling you, let your instincts set the first mark, then let practicality refine it. Beauty follows when a space begins to mirror the soul that lives there. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Start with feeling, then refine with form: notice how each room lands in your body, create refuge and prospect by seeing both door and view, then let measurements and plans serve what already feels right. Small changes shift everything: rearrange to interrupt stale traffic patterns, personalise even temporary spaces, and enliven rooms with plants, natural light, fresh air, mirrors, and the quiet presence of animals. Design as living story: choose objects that speak to you, honour their makers and materials, and when a house feels unsettled, consider energetic space clearing so the home and its history can move with you rather than against you.

La marche du monde vous invite à découvrir cette semaine Palestine, filmer pour exister, un épisode documentaire signé Maxime Grember à découvrir à l'occasion de la 80e session de l'Assemblée générale de l'Organisation des Nations unies (ONU), dont le lancement doit avoir lieu mardi 9 septembre, plusieurs pays ont annoncé vouloir reconnaître l'État de Palestine. Entre 1968 et 1982, le cinéaste palestinien Mustafa Abu Ali et d'autres professionnels du cinéma vont réaliser des dizaines de films sous l'égide de l'Unité cinéma, une structure de production audiovisuelle liée au Fatah. Passant du fusil à la caméra, ils vont raconter en images la lutte du peuple palestinien, diffuser leurs films dans les camps de réfugiés et tenter ainsi de construire une mémoire visuelle palestinienne. Mais quelle histoire se cache derrière cette filmographie militante née dans les mois qui ont suivi la guerre des six jours de 1967 ? Qu'est-ce que ces films nous racontent du mouvement révolutionnaire palestinien et de la guerre contre l'État d'Israël ? Et enfin, que nous disent-ils du rapport que le peuple palestinien entretient avec sa propre histoire ? Le 15 juin 1969, dans une interview accordée au journal britannique The Sunday Times, Golda Meir, alors cheffe du gouvernement israélien, déclare, deux ans après la guerre des Six-Jours qui avait donné à son pays le contrôle de l'ensemble des territoires palestiniens : « Les Palestiniens n'ont jamais existé. Comment pourrions-nous rendre les territoires occupés ? Il n'y a personne à qui les rendre. » En réponse à cette provocation, le cinéaste palestinien Mustafa Abu Ali réalise en 1974 le documentaire They do not exist, pour insister sur le manque de soutien et de visibilité de la part de la communauté internationale. L'histoire du cinéma palestinien pourrait véritablement prendre sa source dans ce déni d'existence, car c'est bel et bien à partir de 1968 qu'une Unité cinéma va se créer et que des hommes et des femmes vont documenter en images les luttes, les souffrances et les multiples déplacements que le peuple palestinien connait depuis la Nakba de 1948. « Il n'y avait plus de rues, plus de magasins, plus d'écoles. Tout avait été détruit. Donc, l'idée était de construire un film à partir de cette phrase de Golda Meir "They do not exist". Alors Mustafa s'est dit : s'ils n'existent pas, ceux que vous bombardez, ce sont des fantômes ? ». Khadijeh Habashneh, cinéaste et archiviste du cinéma palestinien, s'exprime au sujet du film They do not exist que Mustafa Abu Ali réalise en 1974. En 1973, Mustafa Abu Ali réalise Scène d'occupations à Gaza, un film emblématique de l'Unité cinéma. Ne pouvant pas se rendre dans la bande de Gaza, sous contrôle israélien depuis 1967, il va réaliser son film à partir d'un reportage fait pour la télévision française et pour lequel il arrive à se procurer les images. Avec son nouveau montage, il veut attester en images de la souffrance endurée par le peuple gazaoui. « Mustafa Abu Ali va utiliser les moyens que le cinéma met à sa disposition, c'est-à-dire qu'il va transformer la bande son, ajouter une voix off, de la musique. Il va figer l'image sur le regard d'un des hommes palestiniens qui est contrôlé, et rajouter en insert une image d'une grenade sur un fond rouge. À travers cela, il essaye de signifier que ce jeune homme porte en lui toutes les marques de la lutte. » Hugo Darroman, docteur en études cinématographiques, s'exprime au sujet du film Scènes d'occupation à Gaza que Mustafa Abu Ali réalise en 1973. À lire aussi1974, le discours historique de Yasser Arafat à l'ONU L'ensemble de ces films seront montrés dans les camps de réfugiés palestiniens, mais aussi à l'étranger, dans des festivals ou dans des réseaux de solidarité, afin de faire connaître la cause palestinienne et aussi mettre en place des coproductions, comme ce sera le cas en 1977 avec l'Italie pour le documentaire Tall-al-Zaatar consacré aux massacres ayant eu lieu dans le camp de réfugiés palestiniens dans l'est de Beyrouth. Au total, près d'une centaine de reportages et de documentaires seront produits par l'unité cinéma du Fatah, d'abord installé à Amman jusqu'en 1970, puis à Beyrouth jusqu'en 1982, où une cinémathèque s'était constituée autour de cette collection. Mais, en 1982, lors de l'invasion israélienne au Liban, une partie du patrimoine culturel palestinien va être spolié, et les archives filmiques, un temps cachées dans Beyrouth, vont également disparaître au milieu des années 80. Depuis les années 2000, Khadijeh Habashneh, déjà à l'œuvre à Beyrouth entre 1976 et 1982 aux côtés de son mari Mustafa Abu Ali, tente de remettre la main sur des copies de ces films, et de trouver les partenariats et les conditions nécessaires pour qu'ils puissent être conservés et à nouveau montrés au public. C'est finalement à la Cinémathèque de Toulouse, l'une des plus importantes de France, connue pour la richesse de ses collections venant du monde entier, qu'une partie des films palestiniens vont trouver refuge en 2023. Retour sur une production cinématographique méconnue, une histoire d'archives en exil, d'images manquantes, et d'une certaine idée du cinéma comme moyen de résistance et de représentation d'un peuple par lui-même. Palestine, filmer pour exister, un nouvel épisode documentaire de La marche du monde, signé Maxime Grember, produit par Valérie Nivelon, réalisé par Sophie Janin, aux sons des archives filmiques palestiniennes.

Vicki Young and guests discuss the resignation of the deputy prime minister, Angela Rayner, and what the cabinet reshuffle means for the government. The panel of journalists includes Caroline Wheeler, the political editor of the Sunday Times; Ben Riley Smith, the political editor of the Daily Telegraph; and Ailbhe Rea, the associate editor of Bloomberg UK.

In the UK, with government debt rising and gilt yields under pressure, some commentators have even raised the spectre of an IMF bailout but how realistic are those fears, and what do they tell us about the state of the UK economy right now? David Smith, Economics Editor with the Sunday Times took a call from Bobby to assess the health of the UK economy and discuss whether the idea of the IMF having to step in is far fetched.

As Reform's conference begins today, the party leads the opinion polls. Nigel Farage is attempting to portray himself as the next Prime Minister, but in places they already hold power - ten councils and two mayoral authorities - there have been hints of serious problems, from failed cost cutting measures to infighting and resignations.

Gabriel Pogrund, Whitehall Editor for The Sunday Times

24 hours after Angela Rayner admitted underpaying tax, the pressure remains on the deputy prime minister as Westminster now waits the outcome of the probe by the Prime Minister's standards adviser. The Spectator's political editor Tim Shipman and the Sunday Times's Whitehall editor Gabriel Pogrund join Patrick Gibbons to discuss whether Rayner can retain her briefs. As Gabriel points out, regardless of the outcome of the ethics probe, Rayner was seen as Labour's ‘sleaze-buster in chief'. So how damaging is this to ‘brand Ang'?Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Ten years ago, the United States Supreme Court voted to make same-sex marriage legal by five votes to four. Since then the court has reversed one landmark ruling by overturning Roe v Wade, the 1973 decision that established a right to abortion under federal law.

This episode examines a pivotal legal case on grooming gangs in the UK, centering on survivor Liz's fight for justice against her rapist, Ashgar Boston. Featuring insights from Lord Pearson and legal expert Robin Tilbrook, we explore the complexities of the case, including significant milestones like securing Liz's anonymity and waiving the limitation period. Liz's story underscores the need for accountability from perpetrators and institutions, highlighting a path toward justice not only for her but for many others. This discussion emphasizes our collective responsibility to confront these societal issues and support survivors in reclaiming their lives. Partial Transcript: Hearts of Oak   [0:25]different show tonight. I wrote a piece in the Gateway Pundit two days ago, and it was an overview of the legal case that I have been involved in pulling together. And tonight I'm going to bring on, as pre-records, I spoke to Lord Pearson of Rannock earlier. You'll hear his input in the case. I spoke to Liz, obviously the person at the centre of the case, the very brave survivor who I've got to know over the last five years, and Robin Tilbrook, who has been a guest on numerous times. And he, of course, is the legal mastermind, the person who has spearheaded this in terms of the legal side. So I want to touch on all three of those different angles to this case. And this is quite a key case because I think it's a blueprint for hundreds of other cases, really, hundreds of other cases across the UK to go after these rapists, not only to give these girls financial justice, but to bankrupt the perpetrators. We have had well over 500 individuals charged, sentenced, and locked away for these crimes. And this is the first of its kind in terms of getting financial justice for these girls. But I Peter Mcilvenna   [1:47]Want to just touch on this. Obviously, it's a stain on British history. And it is something that has been brushed under the carpet for many, many years. Let me bring up, this is just the front of the article. First, private prosecution of a grooming gang rapist, a blueprint for justice. And then I talk about, obviously, the situation in the UK and then how sea girls were actually protected. The crazy part of this is that you have the white people. English communities have, by and large, not stood up for these girls. But yet in the Sikh communities, they set up these vigilante groups that actually would look after these girls. We didn't do that in the English communities. Hearts of Oak   [2:36]Being ignored for decades, first reported in 1975 in the Rotherham Advertiser. [2:46] The Stain on British History Hearts of Oak   [2:42]And then later on, Julie Bindell wrote in the Sunday Times. And then of course Andrew Norfolk in 2012 on the front page of the Times and his front page story blew this up and made it into a story that the British public were aware of. Over 500 prosecutions, 500 individuals sentenced to this in over 75 trials in over 40 towns across the UK and the head of one of the policing, it was Northampton, said that this is happening in every town across the UK, except, of course, London, because Lee Khan tells us that actually it's not happening in London. Make of that what you will. Maybe London is the perfect city in the world. I don't think so. I think it's been brushed under the carpet there also. Hearts of Oak   [3:33]So we've had these all across the country and I want to touch on this legal case, and the link to this article is in the description. It goes back to 2020, whenever Alan Craig, my co-founder at Hearts of Vogue, and Baroness Cox, who, along with Lord Pearson, has been the most vocal person in terms of critiquing Islam and standing up for those who are oppressed under that, especially women. They went to visit Liz in Rotherham. Heard her story and were, not that they'd heard this story before, but again, and also when you meet someone face-to-face and hear it, it's raw. [4:15] A Legal Blueprint for Justice Hearts of Oak   [4:16]And they came away wanting to assist in setting up a legal process so she could get financial justice for that. Justice, I don't know how you get justice in terms of this issue, But, so we talked to her, Alan and the Baroness came back from visiting her in Rotherham. I chatted to them both. Immediately, I talked to Lord Pearson. And within days, Lord Pearson had pulled together the money to start this legal case. Without the money, it would have remained just an idea, a vision, a hope. So we started that. That was in August 2020. The money came together beginning of September 2020. And then we reached out to Robin Tillabrook. We had all known Robin, and Robin also had been trying to start such a case before. So we engaged with Robin, pulled together a conversation, and after that conversation, we realized this was possible. Well, we had the funding, we had the girl, the survivor, and we had now the legal ability to move ahead with it. So that was everything. Hearts of Oak   [5:33]Then in October 2020, we're kind of started this. We think this is all good. October 2020, Liz learned that Asker Boston, her rapist, had been moved to an open prison. She hadn't even been told. Now, a known prison, this is only serving 32 months of his sentence. He was moved to known prison. A known prison means, hey, you can go home for weekends. You can apply for that. And she was petrified. Did that mean that he would be coming to Rotherham, harassing her? She was living in fear. And, of course, the Ministry of Justice, they gave a bland apology because they didn't really give a damn.     Connect with Hearts of Oak. . .

In this episode of Hub & Spoken, host Jason Foster, CEO & Founder of Cynozure, is joined by James Lupton, Chief Technology Officer at Cynozure, to explore the findings from What Matters Most for Insurers Now — a new report shaped by insights from 35 senior leaders across the insurance industry. While the report focuses on insurers, its lessons resonate far more widely. Jason and James discuss how organisations across sectors are wrestling with the same issues: outdated and overly customised legacy systems that hold back innovation, a persistent gap between the ambition to build a data-driven culture and the actions taken to achieve it, and the importance of leadership support that goes beyond lip service to meaningful investment and behaviour change. They also consider the next frontier: AI agents. With many firms experimenting but few ready to deploy, Jason and James unpack what true readiness looks like and why success requires more than just technology. This episode offers practical reflections for leaders in complex, regulated industries who are striving to “fix forward” and unlock the real value of data and AI.

Alex North seems to be one of those rare writers. It looks like his debut, 'The Whisper Man', will actually be made into a film. The novel was a Sunday Times and New York Times Bestseller, and has been translated into 30 languages. The Movie will star Adam Scott, Robert de Niro, Michelle Monaghan and Michael Keaton.He's also published 'The Shadow Friend', and 'The Half Burnt House'. His new novel is 'The Man Made of Smoke'. Here's the blurb -Daniel Garvie was only a child himself when he saw the lost little boy. And because he was too frightened to help him, one of the world's most notorious serial killers got away. Years later, Dan has a successful career as a criminal psychiatrist, unpicking the reasons behind the very darkest of human behaviours. But when his father disappears, Dan is forced to return to the small island where he grew up. A place where all the ghosts and monsters he thought he'd left behind him remain all too real. It might be a chance for him to find redemption. Or he might be walking straight into a trap. Alex is also Steve Mosby. Steve has 10 published novels to his name, and won the prestigious CWA 'Dagger in the Library' award to celebrate his collection of works.We talk about why he needs buzz around him to write, and how he tries to make it more enjoyable. You can take a look through his spreadsheet, columns, colour-codes and all. We chat through how he fits in writing around other things, and how odd it is to actually have your book turned into a movie.Get a copy at uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutinePlease do take a moment to fill out our survey, which really helps the show - https://acast-d25653fd59cf.intercom-clicks.com/via/e?ob=9dFAKrq%2FHBkvn%2B9z98dsooDq%2FFPEoLWXYYd%2F0BMh%2B2R%2B6hIvtDvMp5sKO%2F2dfWfI&h=c5c0103c3caba18c8ab85ff7ccc6ed8443646a42-ayi0335i_215470435698363Support us at -patreon.com/writersroutineko-fi.com/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

President Trump announced on Truth Social this week that he had fired Federal Reserve board member Lisa Cook. While most people had no idea who she was, her sacking could have a massive impact. The move is seen as part of the continued politicisation of the Fed, the US's independent central bank and some economists fear it could be the start of a journey towards economic meltdown in America with global repercussions.
