    Olympic women's sport will be limited to biological females

    26/03/2026 | 37 min
    The International Olympic Committee (IOC) says eligibility will be determined by a 'once-in-a-lifetime' sex test, which would prevent transgender women and those with differences in sexual development (DSD) who have gone through male puberty from competing in women's events. We hear from former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies who supports the move, and UN Special Rapporteur Alexandra Xanthaki who opposes it.
    Also on the programme: Should foreign tourists visiting our museums be charged for entry? And the hunt is on in Hampshire for Samba, a nine-month-old capybara, who escaped Marwell Zoo over a week ago.

    Trump says Iran wants deal to end the war "so badly"

    24/03/2026 | 37 min
    Donald Trump says negotiations to end the Iran war are happening "now" and the "people" the US are speaking to "want to make a deal so badly". His comments come a day after Iranian officials denied any contact with the US had taken place, calling claims of talks "fake news". We speak to a Republican Congressman about whether the military operation has increased President Trump's leverage.
    Also on the programme: calls grow for the government to permit drilling of North Sea oil and gas. And Daphne Selfe, the world's oldest fashion model still working, has died aged 97. We explore how the fashion industry has come to embrace older women.
