Best of Brakfast Episode 174 Yana Bolder
There was a time when getting into the car meant entering a small, mobile storage cupboard. Not because we were particularly organised, but because we seemed to believe that absolutely anything might come in useful one day. Modern cars are remarkably clever. They can tell you where you are, warn you about traffic, connect to your phone, play almost any song you can think of and, in some cases, practically […]
Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike is in a critical condition in hospital after surviving two lethal injection attempts on Wednesday. The fifty-year-old was sentenced to death in 1996 for murder. Following the failed executions, her lawyers confirmed she remains alive and are calling for her sentence to be commuted. The state's governor has consequently halted all scheduled executions for the rest of the year. Britain is in talks with […]
Bedrooms have changed enormously over the years. Today, a bedroom can be surprisingly minimalist. There might be a bed, a wardrobe, a bedside table, perhaps a television and, almost certainly, a phone charger. Everything has a place, everything is relatively streamlined and there is usually some attempt to make the room look as though it belongs in a home interiors magazine. For many Gen Xers, however, the bedroom was a […]
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described an incident on a grounded Flydubai flight as an extremely severe security breach, stating one pilot stabbed another in an apparent attempt to crash the aircraft. Speaking in a video statement, Mr Netanyahu confirmed Saudi authorities have arrested and are questioning the attacking pilot.

There is something slightly strange about being told that it is going to reach 27°C when September is almost over. By this point in the year, we have usually started thinking about darker evenings, jumpers, heating bills and whether it is too early to put the winter duvet back on the bed. The summer clothes have often been pushed towards the back of the wardrobe, the barbecue has been cleaned […]
Prime Minister Andy Burnham has outlined plans to transform Britain, including ending the state pension triple lock from 2030 to help fund a new national care service. Speaking at the Labour Party conference, Mr Burnham proposed linking annual pension increases to inflation or 2.5%, removing the earnings link to generate savings. He also signaled plans for greater public control over housing, water, energy, and potential electoral reform. Three teenagers have […]
There was a time when the electricity going off was not an unusual event. It might happen during a storm, after some problem with the local supply or simply for reasons that nobody in the house completely understood. One minute you would be watching television, making a cup of tea or doing something perfectly ordinary, and the next the entire house would suddenly go quiet. For Gen X, a power […]
A twenty-three-year-old man from County Durham has been arrested on suspicion of rape following an attack in Slough. Thames Valley Police confirmed the suspect was arrested on Friday in connection with an incident in an alleyway near Lansdowne Avenue on the twenty-second of September. The man has since been released on conditional bail while police investigations continue. US President Donald Trump says he is surprised that five terrorism suspects arrested […]
There are meals, and then there is the Sunday roast. For generations of British families, Sunday lunch has been less about simply putting food on a plate and more about following a ritual that has somehow survived changing fashions, busier lives and the arrival of countless new cuisines. You can change the television, the car, the furniture and even the way you communicate with your family, but there is something […]
