Weekend Woman's Hour: Emma Webber & Sinead O'Malley Kumar, Gender Dysphoria research, Daisy May Cooper

What were the NHS 'catalogue of failings' that led to three people being killed in 2023?

Anita Rani speaks to Emma Webber and Sinead O鈥橫alley Kumar, mothers of Barnaby and Grace, both 19, who were killed in Nottingham in June 2023. They鈥檒l be responding to the findings of a major review of the NHS care of Valdo Calocane, the man who attacked their children.

The Oscar-nominated actress Mikey Madison tells Clare McDonnell about playing the title role in Anora, a film about a sex worker in New York. Mikey spent months embedded in a strip club to fully immerse herself in the world. The film is nominated for six Academy Awards as well as BAFTAs and Golden Globes.

New research has quantified for the first time how many young people have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria by GPs in England. Anita hears from Professor of Health Policy, Tim Doran, about the work academics at the University of York are doing. They studied a decade鈥檚 worth of NHS records and discovered a 50-fold increase in this particular diagnosis between 2011 and 2021. However each general practice will only see one or two such patients each year.

The West End star Marisha Wallace, the latest actor to play Sally Bowles in Cabaret at The Kit Kat Club in London, performs a song from the show.

The actor and writer Daisy May Cooper talks to Clare McDonnell about the second series of the 91热爆 female-friendship thriller, Am I Being Unreasonable, which she both co-wrote and stars in.
