Paula Radcliffe, Belarusian political activist Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, High sugar baby food pouches, Virginia Giuffre
Paula Radcliffe broke records and redefined women’s long-distance running, holding the marathon world record for more than 16 years. The four time British Olympian secured the Six Star Medal last week - and has now run all six original marathons: Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, New York City. Recently she has had her resilience tested in a whole new way - supporting her teenage daughter Isla through a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer. Now, in recovery, Isla ran the London marathon yesterday. Paula joins Nuala to discuss.
The Belarusian political activist Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya joins Nuala to discuss her remarkable journey from "ordinary person" to leading the opposition whilst in political exile. In 2020 she stood in the Presidential election after her husband, Sergei, was arrested. She claimed victory in the polls, which were widely thought to be rigged, but was forced to flee the country with her children. She now lives in Lithuania from where she has established an oppositional government and hasn't heard from her husband in two years.
A new BBC Panorama investigation has found baby food pouches from some of the leading brands have been failing to meet the nutritional needs of developing children and have been misleading parents on their suitability. More than 250 of these products are on the multi-million pound baby pouch market and have become a staple for many households with babies and children up to the age of two or three. Nuala is joined by Catrin Nye the reporter for Panorama, and baby and child nutritionist Charlotte Stirling-Reed.
The death of Virginia Giuffre, who accused Jeffrey Epstein and the Duke of York of sexual abuse, has made headline news over the weekend. The 41 year old, who was living in Australia, was described by her family as a "fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking". Nuala discusses her life and campaigning with Harriet Wistrich of the Centre for Women's Justice and BBC Correspondent, Katy Watson.
