One Love One Planet: the importance of the 'commons' and why they are under threat...

The beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era.

Extinction Rebellion co-founder Clare Farrell and conservation scientist Dr. Charlie Gardner discuss the First International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels.  The conference took place in April 2026, in Colombia. Frustrated by the failure of UN, COP, climate summits, almost 60 countries, including the UK, convened to create concrete national roadmaps to phase out coal, oil, and gas.

Reactions to a film that tells the truth about the climate emergency.

The UK faces a growing climate and nature emergency. Yet most people have never been fully briefed on what it means for our lives, our economy and our future.

Listen to the audience reaction to the film, and a conversation between one of the film’s makers and James O’Brien from LBC radio.

No Jury, No Justice!

The UK Government plans to remove the right to trial by jury for thousands of criminal cases. Juries protect us from unfair prosecutions, biased judges, political interference and state overreach. Juries prevent power being centralised within corporations, institutions and those with privilege. Juries have been a key part of our justice system for centuries. Juries are a vital constitutional check on the government, no jury will convict someone under an unjust law. Jury trial is a cornerstone of British justice. Listen to protesters making their case to keep juries, and why this is important for the climate emergency.

Sewage is spewing into our waters. Profits are soaring. And we’re the ones getting sick.

Raw sewage is being dumped into our seas, lakes and rivers on an industrial scale – almost a million times last year alone. While people get sick and nature suffers, polluters profit and the regulators turn a blind eye. The system isn’t just broken, it’s rigged. Listen to how protesters are putting pressure on government and water companies, and how they are getting results.    Find out more at: https://www.sas.org.uk/ [https://www.sas.org.uk/]  and https://weareavon.com/ [https://weareavon.com/]

How Indigenous Peoples Transformed the Amazon into a Vast Garden.

For centuries, many people in the Western world believed the Amazon to be an unpopulated and untouched forest. This has never been true. The Amazon has been managed by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years.  We explore how, through the creation of fertile soils and the selection and cultivation of plant and tree species over millennia, Indigenous peoples have transformed the Amazon rainforest into the most biodiverse ecosystem on Earth. We hear from Adriana Meirelles, who lives in Bristol but is Brazilian.  You can follow her Instagram here: meirelles7269
