The hidden pension crisis

How do we end the scandal of millions saving too little for a pension? Can our employers afford to pay more for our pensions? How do we get our pension funds to invest in Britain? And what can we learn on all of this from Australia and Canada? Pensions minister and former boss of the Resolution Foundation - Torsten Bell - talks to Robert and Steph about how we overhaul pensions. Including Steph’s wacky idea involving cinema tickets. The Rest is Money is brought to you by Octopus Energy, Britain’s smart energy pioneer.

Russia-Ukraine talks: Prisoner release agreed

Russia and Ukraine agree to a large prisoner exchange during trilateral talks mediated by the US, but significant differences remain to achieve a peace deal. Kyiv says a ceasefire must come before any discussions on territory, while Moscow demands Ukrainian forces withdraw from parts of eastern Ukraine. The US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are to travel to Moscow on Thursday to meet Russia's Vladimir Putin, before debriefing Ukraine's President Zelensky during his visit to Dublin. Also: widespread disruption hits Spain during the country's first general strike in 14 years, prompted by housing shortages and the high cost of living. Will the UN's climate summit make much impact when the world's biggest emitters have declined to join? Deadly floods sweep through Gaza's tent cities, sparking criticism against Israel over an insufficient emergency response. As Manchester United manager Michael Carrick looks set to lose his job, the club begins talks with USA men's coach Mauricio Pochettino. A Sudanese boy who was injured in a drone strike gets prosthetic legs and a greeting from his favourite football player, Real Madrid star Vinícius Jr. And why board games have become so popular again.

The Job Qualifications for Hegseth’s Military? Straight. White. Male.

More To The Story: On Tuesday, House Republicans blocked a remarkable effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth led by a lone GOP legislator and supported by Democrats. The eight articles alleged that Hegseth violated the Constitution by waging war against Iran without congressional authorization, unlawfully capturing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and launching strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean, among other charges. But the impeachment efforts failed. In his time as defense secretary, Hegseth has not only helped push the US into a deeply unpopular war with Iran, but he’s also started wars within the military itself. Under his leadership, the US military has ousted female and Black officers, blocked promotions for Black service members, reassigned the first woman to lead the Naval Academy, and targeted transgender service members and just about anyone who doesn’t fit his narrow definition of what constitutes a proper “warrior.” On a special episode of More To The Story for this year’s Veterans Day, host Al Letson talks with Bibby about what life is really like for Black troops in the US military, how Hegseth has widened racial inequities under his leadership, and whether the armed services can ever become a true meritocracy.

US soldier arrested in UK on suspicion of spying for Russia

A senior American soldier is in custody at a London police station after being arrested on suspicion of spying for Russia. The 41-year-old man was held during a counter-terrorism operation involving the US military and the FBI, and is understood to have been stationed at Imjin Barracks in Gloucestershire - the headquarters of NATO's Allied Rapid Reaction Corps. Also: US Republicans block efforts to impeach the defence secretary, Pete Hegseth. Anti-homosexuality laws are overturned in Trinidad and Tobago - we hear from the man behind the 11-year legal battle. We meet the "Peaky Blinders" drone unit fighting in Ukraine's front line city of Sloviansk. A federal judge in Florida rules that Donald Trump's 10 billion dollar defamation lawsuit against the BBC for misleading editing can proceed. One of the last surviving heroes of the French Resistance, Solange Alexandre, has died. And fury and amusement over Kim Kardashian's Skims advent calender.
