Vapes, Phoebe Dynevor and Amelia Earhart's legacy

The Children’s Commissioner for England Dame Rachel de Souza joins Emma in the studio.

A ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ investigation has uncovered evidence that vapes are being used to groom children into sexual or criminal exploitation. Last week, the Prime Minister announced that disposable vapes are set to be banned as part of plans to tackle the rising number of young people taking up vaping - measures will also be introduced to prevent vapes being marketed at children and to target under-age sales. However, there are concerns that banning the sale of vapes will encourage children to seek them elsewhere. Emma Barnett is joined by the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ’s Hayley Hassall and the Children’s Commissioner for England Dame Rachel de Souza.

Apparently, if you’re a middle-aged couple and your sex life has faded away you may be experiencing the β€œcouplepause”. The therapist and writer Lucy Cavendish joins Emma to explain what this is and how to get the spark back.

Actor Phoebe Dynevor, best known as Daphne Bridgerton in the Netflix blockbuster series, joins Emma in the studio. Her most recent role, as an ambitious hedge fund manager in the film Fair Play, has earned her a nomination for the EE Rising Star award at this year’s Baftas.

New sonar images from deep in the Pacific Ocean might have located the wreckage of Amelia Earhart’s missing plane. Has Earhart’s disappearance finally been solved, or has the obsession with this mystery distracted us from the pioneering woman herself? Pilot Katherine Moloney and historian Dr Darren Reid discuss Amelia Earhart, her legacy, and women in aviation today.
