    London: Legal Challenge Over Arms Exports To Israel
    May 16, 2025, London, United Kingdom: A campaigner waves a flag in front of signs supporting their position, tied to the railings outside the court during the demonstration. Campaigners gather outside the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand, London on the last day of the legal challenge brought by GLAN and Al-Haq against the UK government over ongoing licensing of arms exports to Israel.

  • 'It's the only disease where you're not supported to fight for your life': why Kate Swaffer is demanding dementia rights.
    DUKAS_174959747_EYE
    'It's the only disease where you're not supported to fight for your life': why Kate Swaffer is demanding dementia rights.
    When Kate Swaffer was diagnosed with younger onset dementia at 49, she was told to prepare for the end. Instead she embarked on a mission.

    That was about 16 years ago. Since then, she has come out swinging against the ways in which people living with dementia are treated - including being told that their lives are effectively over. In the process, she has sparked global conversations about the rights of people living with dementia.

    Thousands of LGBTQ+ Australians got a long-awaited apology - but many weren't alive to receive it. Robert French.
    Coming 40 years after NSW decriminalised homosexuality, it is a 'bittersweet' moment that has arrived too late for many.

    Robert French, who attended the apology on Thursday, says many of the people who were convicted under the laws have since died.

    Alongside leading gay rights activist Lex Watson, who died in 2014, and many others, French was part of a 1983 community campaign to get the laws criminalising homosexuality changed.

    Robert French OA who was one of the main gay rights campaigners who pushed for laws that criminalised homosexuality to be overturned since the 1980s.

    Can mafia children be saved from a life of crime?
    Meet the judge taking mini mafiosi away from their families to see if he can break the cycle.

    Judge Roberto Di Bella, who started the scheme to rescue mafia children.

    In 2011, Di Bella had an idea. He set in motion a probation system with the power to remove children from the most dangerous 'Ndrangheta' families and send them far away until they were 18.

    Di Bella called the programme Liberi di Scegliere - Free to Choose.

    Lawyer, rights campaigner and Senator Enza Rando (65) poses for a portrait at Palazzo della Sapienza in Rome, Italy, on May 23rd 2024.
    Enza Rando, who back in 2012 was the vice president of Libera, became the manager and facilitator of judge Roberto Di BellaÕs program limiting or suspending parental responsability for incriminated families of the ÔNdrangheta (the organized crime centered in the Southern Italian region of Calabria) in Reggio Calabria. The program consists in moving children to a different Italian region and trying to create the conditions for an ordinary childhood there. Once they turn 18, they can choose whether to go back to Calabria or not.

    'The trees are trying to tell us things': Ted Green the ecologist championing Britain's ancient forests
    Ted Green, a conservation adviser to the crown estate at Windsor, has a provocative take on our 'living heritage'.

    Ted Green is a rebel. He calls sheep "land maggots". A horse-riding centre is "a dog-food complex". And the ancient tree expert's new book includes a photo of him sticking up two fingers at a portrait of Margaret Thatcher.

    Sir Robin Millar: the vinyl revival is exposing artists' climate 'hypocrisy'
    The producer and disability campaigner, Robin Millar, who made hits with Sade and Everything But the Girl says it's time records were banned to save the climate.

    Robin Millar has made a career from records; now he wants them to be eradicated. The newly knighted music producer and co-founder of artist management company Blue Raincoat Music believes the resurgence of vinyl is exposing hypocrisy among labels and artists.

    Akyaaba Addai-Sebo: the shocking conversation that led him to start UK Black History Month
    In the mid-1980s he invited Angela Davis, Winnie Mandela, Jesse Jackson and Ray Charles to talk to communities across the country. Thus began an enormous, ongoing, consciousness-changing event.

    One morning in late 1985, Akyaaba Addai-Sebo walked into work and had a casual conversation with a colleague that would change the trajectory of British society. Then 35 years old, he was working at the Greater London Council (GLC) as a coordinator of special projects in the Ethnic Minorities Unit.

    "Elizabeth, the secretary of the principal race relations adviser Ansel Wong, came to work looking very downcast," he recalls. "I asked her: 'Elizabeth, What's wrong?' She said: 'Last night I was putting my son Marcus to bed and he asked, 'Why can't I be white?' As she told me the story, she was crying. 'I named my son after Marcus Garvey,' Elizabeth told me, 'And here he is, just six years old questioning his identity. I’ve failed my son.'"

    Addai-Sebo responded: "No, you haven't failed your son. The national curriculum, local authorities, churches and the institutions - they have failed your son. Not only your son. They've failed all children growing up in this country."

    "I decided that every child growing up in the UK must have an appreciation and an understanding of Africa, Africans, people of African descent - their contributions to world civilisations from antiquity to the present, and especially to the growth and development of the UK and Europe."

'I named my son after Marcus Garvey,' Elizabeth told me, 'And here he is, just six years old questioning his identity. I’ve failed my son.'"

    Addai-Sebo responded: "No, you haven't failed your son. The national curriculum, local authorities, churches and the institutions - they have failed your son. Not only your son. They've failed all children growing up in this country."

    "I decided that every child growing up in the UK must have an appreciation and an understanding of Africa, Africans, people of African descent - their contributions to world civilisations from antiquity to the present, and especially to the growth and development of the UK and Europe."

    Akyaaba Addai-Sebo: the shocking conversation that led him to start UK Black History Month
    In the mid-1980s he invited Angela Davis, Winnie Mandela, Jesse Jackson and Ray Charles to talk to communities across the country. Thus began an enormous, ongoing, consciousness-changing event.

    One morning in late 1985, Akyaaba Addai-Sebo walked into work and had a casual conversation with a colleague that would change the trajectory of British society. Then 35 years old, he was working at the Greater London Council (GLC) as a coordinator of special projects in the Ethnic Minorities Unit.

    "Elizabeth, the secretary of the principal race relations adviser Ansel Wong, came to work looking very downcast," he recalls. "I asked her: 'Elizabeth, What's wrong?' She said: 'Last night I was putting my son Marcus to bed and he asked, 'Why can't I be white?' As she told me the story, she was crying. 'I named my son after Marcus Garvey,' Elizabeth told me, 'And here he is, just six years old questioning his identity. I’ve failed my son.'"

    Addai-Sebo responded: "No, you haven't failed your son. The national curriculum, local authorities, churches and the institutions - they have failed your son. Not only your son. They've failed all children growing up in this country."

    "I decided that every child growing up in the UK must have an appreciation and an understanding of Africa, Africans, people of African descent - their contributions to world civilisations from antiquity to the present, and especially to the growth and development of the UK and Europe."
