Aboriginal Australian mum Yarraka Bayles was so exhausted by her young son's distress at being bullied, she did the only thing she could think of and streamed a video of him crying to show her community the devastating effect it was having. She was trying to help him, but had no idea it would land them at the centre of international news coverage, fierce debate, and online conspiracies. She spoke to Outlook鈥檚 Saskia Edwards.

Is genius born or made? Susan Polgar鈥檚 psychologist father had a theory that he wanted to test and he experimented on his daughter, instructing her how to play chess from an early age. By the time she was 15 Susan was the best female chess player in the world, and at 21 she became a grandmaster. She tells Jo Fidgen how she defied those who told her she couldn鈥檛 compete with men. This interview was first broadcast on 21st January 2020 - fans of The Queen's Gambit might enjoy this chance to hear it again.
