Jennifer Hudson on playing Aretha Franklin, Camilla Cavendish on social care reform, Julie Bindel on modern feminism and we hear about the Russian women who fought in WWII.RESPECT, is the new Aretha Franklin biopic which will be released this Friday. Aretha Franklin handpicked the Oscar Award winning actress and singer Jennifer Hudson to play her in the film.
The government has announced plans to reform the way social care is funded in England. National Insurance contributions from your wage packet will increase. But it also means that some older people who need to go into a nursing home won't have to sell their own home. Boris Johnson said the tax increase would raise £36 billion for frontline services in the next three years and be the "biggest catch-up programme in the NHS' history".
Julie Bindel has been a radical feminist for over four decades, joining the women’s movement as a working class lesbian teenager from the North East. She has campaigned and written many books about male violence, pornography, and the global sex trade.
Elizabeth Lishmund is the creator of a new upcoming film - 'Fighting Girlfriend' - which tells the true story of Mariya Oktyabrsykaya - a Tank Commander in the Red Army during World War 2. 900,000 Russian women fought on the front line for the Soviet Union. Why do we know so little about women's active roles during WW2? And do stereotypes around Russian women make an impact? Elizabeth and journalist Viv Groskop join us to discuss.
CGMundell VivGroskop Yes. Re: Lyudmila Pavlichenko for example. A sniper with many kills. Many women served in the Tank Corps too.
CamCavendish But what are women? You seem to have trouble figuring that out!!!
VivGroskop I did! They were in black and white documentaries, russian feature movies and tv series about ww2. Many were awarded medals and not all of them fought because the loved once were killed. Admittedly i grew up in eastern block but you deminished their stories to a fairytales

Social care: New tax to fund reforms, PM announces - BBC News“Everybody has relatives who can potentially face the cost of care” PM Boris Johnson says the new health and social care tax rise is “reasonable” and “fair” Latest: If you are going to tax us, we demand a cull of the management first. Use the money properly rather than lining the pockets of those in non-jobs and characters played by Kenneth bloody Williams. So says the billionaire It's pretty galling for a multimillionaire/billionaire who's currently building an indoor swimming pool/gym at his mega mansion to declare that we all must pay more in taxes whilst wearing a 2 thousand pound suit and equally pricey watch/belt/shoes. It's utterly beyond parody.
