Gay animals: Have same sex couplings in nature been underreported?

Are some animals gay?

It’s a question that’s been highlighted by new research from the Natural History Museum, which has found same sex couples in more than 1,500 different specifies.

Charlie Frost is joined by Consumer Editor Chris Choi and Zoologist from the Natural History Museum, Josh Davis. 

How to cut costs at Christmas

lundi 18 décembre 2023Duration 14:09

After a year of soaring food prices and inflation, it’s no surprise the cost of Christmas has rocketed.

And there’s a new warning in place for families to tread carefully, as it could take a year for millions to finish paying for their festive season.

Now, some are turning to toy banks and others are cutting back on their festivities.

So, are you feeling the pinch? And how best can we cut the cost at Christmas?

Misconduct beyond the Met

vendredi 15 décembre 2023Duration 12:57

Assault, abuse and harassment are just some of the forms of misconduct which make up the toxic culture in our police forces.

And yet, in most of these cases, no further action has been taken.

Too afraid of the repercussions and with a lack of trust in the system, victims are forced to remain silent.

So, what’s being done to put a stop to this? And how can we be better protected?

From ITV Meridian, journalist Joe Coshan tells Faye Barker What You Need to Know…

COP28: A fair deal or a cop out?

mercredi 13 décembre 2023Duration 10:26

After marathon negotiations, a deal has been reached at COP28 in Dubai.

The new agreement will enforce a ‘transition away’ from fossil fuels.

But, some nations still think this doesn’t go far enough – urging to remove, not reduce, the use of fossil fuels.

So, was this a fair COP? Or a cop out?

From Dubai, Science Correspondent Martin Stew and Producer Philip Sime tell Anushka Asthana what you need to know...

The rise of backstreet Brazilian Butt Lifts

lundi 11 décembre 2023Duration 11:11

It's a procedure designed to give you the hourglass figure made famous by celebs like Kim Kardashian, but the Brazilian Bum Lift has also been described as the world's most dangerous cosmetic surgery.

Yet the non-surgical alternative, involving filler, is becoming increasingly popular.

It’s advertised as a safer alternative, but is in fact just as dangerous, as there’s little regulation to stop anyone from performing the procedure.

So, should these procedures be banned entirely?

ITV News Reporter Ellie Pitt and Digital Video Producer Cree Haughton tell Lucrezia Millarini what you need to know…

Boris' battle to save his legacy at the Covid Inquiry

vendredi 8 décembre 2023Duration 17:48

As he began his appearance with an apology, Boris Johnson tried to defend what was left of his reputation at the Covid Inquiry.

But, for bereaved families, it was simply, too little too late; as they told the former Prime Minister “the dead won’t hear your apologies.”

So, did Mr. Johnson take enough responsibility? And what lessons were learned?

Why Arab-Americans are pledging to “Abandon Biden”

mercredi 6 décembre 2023Duration 16:25

“Abandon Biden” is the new slogan taking off in the US and it’s pushing the President into political jeopardy.

The phrase has been spreading amongst the Arab American community due to his support for Israel.

And now those who once helped propel him to presidency, are stripping away his support.

So, how damaging is this for Biden? And who will the Muslim community turn to?
