Women's pension ruling, young undocumented migrants, stillbirth
Women born in the 1950s and 1960s will hear a judgment today about their claim that they were unfairly treated by having to wait longer than they expected for their state pension. They want compensation for nearly four million women who have been forced to wait up to an extra six years to get their pensions after changes to bring women’s retirement age into line with men’s. We'll discuss what the ruling will mean. Chrisann Jarrett and Dami Makinde founded We Belong, a charity to help undocumented young migrants who have spent much of their lives growing up in the UK. They both came here as young children from Jamaica and Nigeria and saw the UK as home, yet when they reached 18 they discovered their legal status meant it wasn't that straightforward. They talk about what life is like for the estimated 120,000 undocumented children in the UK who find they are eligible to start an expensive and long process to become UK citizens. There are about 800 full-term stillbirths every year in Britain. Ministers are considering enabling coroners to hold inquests for all ‘full term’ stillbirths, from 37 weeks’ gestation - all involving a post-mortem. This may be what some women want but what about those who don’t? We discuss. And, listener Sophie Constant describes the photograph that captures her best day.
