Forgotten Children, COP29 and maternal outcomes, Mozart: Her Story

--:--
The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has resigned from his post. What’s the reaction from women within the Church of England? We hear the third part of our week-long series Forgotten Children, which looks at the impact on families when one or both parents serve time in prison. Reporter Jo Morris spoke to a woman we’re calling Nan, whose daughter was sentenced to prison, leaving Nan to care for her five grandchildren for two years in her two bedroom house. COP29 - the UN's annual climate conference - is underway in Baku, Azerbaijan. To discuss the issues for women Nuala is joined by Fiona Harvey, the Guardian’s Environment Editor, live from COP29 and Adelaide Lusambili, an associate professor at Africa International University in Kenya, who looks at how climate extremes are affecting maternal outcomes.A new musical – Mozart: Her Story - tells the story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s sister Nan, who taught him how to play the piano. Nuala is joined by the lyricist, Tegan Summer, and actor, Gabrielle Brooks who gives a performance from the new show. Presenter: Nuala McGovern
Producer: Lottie Garton
