    How Gisèle Pelicot changed France forever

    Gisèle Pelicot’s courage, resilience and fortitude in publically proving a decade of rape and sexual abuse at the hands of her husband and fifty other men has transformed her from septuagenarian grandmother to French national hero. Dominique Pelicot will go down as one of the worst sex offenders in modern French history, having been sentenced to 20 years in prison for drugging Gisèle and inviting dozens of men to rape her in her home in the south of France. Kamal and Camilla speak to The Telegraph's Paris correspondent Henry Samuel from the courthouse in Avignon, Provence, where he has been following the trial and its conclusion. Elsewhere, they speak to The Telegraph's Lucy Foster, who is spearheading our Christmas Charity Appeal, about the final of the four nominated charities this year - the Teenage Cancer Trust. You can read more about the work done by the Teenage Cancer Trust on The Telegraph website using the link below. Other charities we are supporting include: Humanity and Inclusion, Alzheimer's Research UK and Army Benevolent Fund. To donate to any of them, please visit telegraph.co.uk/2024appeal or call 0151 317 5247.

    Is Rachel Reeves a bad Chancellor?

    New figures show that not only has the economy contracted, but job hiring is at a record low. Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves strode into Downing Street on July 5th talking about just one thing - growth. But since then the government has raised employers’ national insurance contributions, slapped taxes on farmers, slashed winter fuel allowance and now worse news still - the economy officially shrunk in October and the number of job vacancies is at a record low. So, is Rachel Reeves the worst chancellor in history? Plus, we’ll hear from a veteran who lost both his legs and his right arm in Afghanistan and how the Army Benevolent Fund - another of the charities the Telegraph is supporting this Christmas - changed his life. You can read more about the work done by the Army Benevolent Fund on The Telegraph website using the link below. Other charities we are supporting include: Alzheimer’s Research UK, Teenage Cancer Trust and Humanity and Inclusion. To donate to any of them, please visit telegraph.co.uk/2024appeal or call 0151 317 5247.

    Has a Chinese 'spy' infiltrated the British establishment?

    A Chinese businessman and alleged spy has now been identified as Yang Tengbo after a court order protecting his identity was lifted. He was banned from the UK last week amid claims he had formed an "unusual degree of trust" with the Duke of York - Prince Andrew. Judges were told the businessman was attempting to leverage the disgraced Prince's influence. Former Conservative leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith joins us in The Daily T studio to explain why the alleged spy could be one of many such Chinese agents operating "in plain view" . And could fresh evidence from the legal team for former neonatal nurse Lucy Letby prove her innocence? This week we will be highlighting the work done by the four charities The Telegraph is supporting in our Christmas appeal. In today's episode, we'll be looking at Humanity and Inclusion, a global charity working alongside disabled and vulnerable people in 60 countries affected by poverty, conflict and disaster. You can read more about the work done by Humanity and Inclusion, as well as Adelie Pojzman-Pontay and Francis Dearnley's reporting from Kharkiv, on The Telegraph’s website. Other charities we are supporting include: Alzheimer’s Research UK, Teenage Cancer Trust and Army Benevolent Fund. To donate to any of them, please visit telegraph.co.uk/2024appeal or call 0151 317 5247.
