The actress Jameela Jamil talks to Emma Barnett about her crusade for gentle exercise and body positivity as well as her new strategy for how she communicates on social media. She\u2019s become one of the internet\u2019s most prominent activists holding the beauty industry and celebrity culture to account for their unrealistic ideals with her provocative online posts. Her outspoken views have led to widely publicised social media spats which she says have left her with the desire to post with more \u201cgrace and empathy\u201d. Best known for her role as Tahini in the Netflix series The Good Place she also hosts the podcast iWeigh which declares its \u201cradical inclusivity\u201d agenda where guests talk about what they \u201cweigh\u201d or value in life as opposed to their physical weight.
New draft guidance from the Home Office appears to water down previously voted on laws about Safe Access Zones around abortion clinics.

They were known as Israel\u2019s \u201ceyes on the border.\u201d These were female Israeli border soldiers - who raised concerns about suspicious Hamas activity on the Gaza border in the run up to the October 7 attack - but those concerns went unheard by higher ranking officers. Hamas killed at least 1,200 people in that attack and took about 240 hostages. Since then, more than 23,000 civilians have been killed in the Israeli bombardment that followed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Emma discusses with the BBC\u2019s Alice Cuddy who reported on these soldiers and Mary Ann Sieghart, the journalist and author of \u201cThe Authority Gap: Why Women Are Still Taken Less Seriously Than Men and What We Can Do About it\u201d
