Samantha Cameron; Rape cases - legal challenge to the CPS; Rachael Burford on Girls' Rugby
Samantha Cameron on life at number 10, family, fashion and business; Rape victims at the heart of a landmark court case say they have been failed by the Crown Prosecution Service.
Samantha Cameron spent six years at number 10 Downing Street with her husband David in the glare of the media spotlights. She was there through the tumultuous years of the Scottish and EU referendums - issues which still rage today - witnessing some of the biggest political changes for generations. She was the youngest first lady for 50 years, juggling family life and a new baby with a high pressure job. She is credited with modernising the upmarket stationers Smythson and has now set up her own clothing brand Cefin. She talks to Emma about life at number 10, family, fashion and business.
Rape victims at the heart of a landmark court case say they have been failed by the Crown Prosecution Service. A judicial review lodged against the CPS by the Centre for Women鈥檚 Justice (CWJ) and End Violence Against Women (EVAW) coalition is being heard in the Court of Appeal this week. They say that a change in tactic has led to a more cautious approach and a subsequent collapse in rape prosecutions. To discuss the issues Emma is joined by Harriet Wistrich, Director of the CWJ.
Former rugby World Cup player Rachael Burford talks about setting up the Girls Rugby Club to give the game an international boost.
