Antisemitism in schools, Lolly Adefope, Shingles and dementia, Femtick

A government review into antisemitism in schools and colleges in England will publish its recommendations today. The report from former Ofsted inspector Sir David Bell makes 27 recommendations to help schools tackle antisemitism. The review found that three out of five Jewish children had experienced prejudice at school and that leaders in some Jewish schools were spending more time on security than on education. Nuala hears from the BBC's Special Correspondent Judith Moritz, who has been covering the story, and writer and broadcaster Angela Epstein, host of the Jewish Mother Me podcast, who has spoken about Jewish identity and raising children in Britain. There has been a rise in demand for the shingles vaccine, and this may be because recent studies suggest it could reduce the risk of dementia. Women are at greater risk of developing dementia in their lifetime, and around twice as many women as men have Alzheimer's disease, the most common type of dementia. Nuala hears from two women, Eva and Sally, who are getting the shingles vaccine this winter, in part because of a family history of dementia, and from Lucy Devendra, Head of Research at Alzheimer's Research UK. BAFTA-nominated Lolly Adefope reprises her role as Kitty, the endearingly innocent Georgian noblewoman, in the film Ghosts: The Possession of Button House. She's also making her West End debut as Mary Todd Lincoln in Oh, Mary!, the Olivier Award-winning play. Set in 1865, the dark comedy imagines the former First Lady of the United States, wife of then-President Abraham Lincoln, as a frustrated cabaret performer trapped in the gilded cage of the White House. Lolly joins Nuala to discuss resurrecting Kitty and taking on the mantle of Mary. Women's health businesses, such as those in the fem tech sector, can face barriers to accessing financial and commercial services, including banking, insurance, payment processing and e-commerce platforms, according to advocacy organisation CensHERship. Today, the group is launching a new accreditation initiative called FemTick, aimed at recognising organisations that support the growth of the women's health sector. Nuala hears from one of CensHERship's co-founders, Clio Wood, and BBC Senior Reporter Ashita Nagesh, who has been hearing from women's health creators who say their content has been removed, filtered or suppressed online, a practice known as shadowbanning.
