Forgotten Children: what does the government intend to do about those with parents in prison?

A video has been going viral since yesterday: New Zealand MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke brought the country’s parliament to a halt by performing a haka in protest at a controversial bill seeking to reinterpret the country's founding treaty with Māori people.

Actor Halle Berry attended a fashion show wearing the same dress she memorably wore while accepting the Oscar for best actress in 2002. Thanks to her role in β€œMonster’s Ball,” Berry was the first black woman in history to take home the accolade, making the gown β€” which features a burgundy skirt and sheer bodice adorned with floral appliquΓ© β€” all the more special. Anita explores this with Rosana Lai fashion editor at Glamour UK.

COP29 - the UN's climate conference – has been taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan this week.
