Supreme Court hears case on definition of a woman, Barbara Taylor Bradford's life
Judges are considering how women are defined in law in a landmark case.
Judges at the Supreme Court are today considering how women are defined in law in a landmark case brought by Scottish campaigners. It will address what βsexβ means legally, and will set out exactly how the law is meant to treat trans people. ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Scotland Policital Correspondent, Phil Sim, joins Nuala McGovern to explain more.
Song writing partnership Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear are making history by becoming the youngest and first female songwriting duo to compose for a Disney feature film in the highly anticipated Moana 2. The Grammy Award-winning pair join Nuala live in the studio to discuss what the songs mean to them, and their career so far.
The film Mediha tells the story of a teenage Yazidi girl who was captured by the Islamic State group in the 2014 genocide against the Yazidi people and kept for four years as a sex slave. To help her process her trauma, she has filmed her life and her journey to try and find her missing family members. Mediha herself joins Nuala alongside the director and producer of the film, Hasan Oswald.
Following the death of bestselling novelist Barbara Taylor Bradford, Nuala talks to her publisher, Lynne Drew, and to television presenter and author Fern Britton who was a fan and a friend of Barbaraβs. Theyβll discuss Barbaraβs extraordinary rise from typist to multi-millionaire author and the enduring appeal of her work, including her 1979 smash hit A Woman of Substance.
