Al Fayed abuse should be investigated as human trafficking, says former senior Met officer Investigation into claims of sex abuse by the late Harrods owner should include trafficking, says former head of Met's Anti-Trafficking Unit.

Speaking about her experiences for the first time, Anne, not her real name, told the BBC she was #trafficked by #AlFayed to his "sadist" brother Salah Fayed in France.” 1/

Really shocking. Appalling. You can hear this account on today’s edition of #BBCWorldatOne at #BBCSounds

My wife Margaret, after listening to the rather silly item about intelligent life on other planets on #BBCWorldAtOne, said "is there intelligent life in the White House?"

BBC Political Editor ChrisMasonBBC tells Sarah Montague #BBCWorldatOne that UKLabour’s Scottish leader #AnasSarwar is expected to call for #KeirStarmer to #resign.

Get that Lamb chop woman off the wireless, she's adding nothing to the debate. Both sides is not necessary here, just the facts.
#BBCWorldAtOne

Nadine Dorries has been barely coherent on #BBCWorldAtOne just now, even by her standards.
And claiming that the majority of the current Tory party are more like Lib Dems is absolute wibble.

[correction and apology for the typo: Stourton, not Sourton, of course.] Edward Stourton presents #BBCRadio4’s #Sunday programme as well as sometimes presenting #BBCWorldatOne.]

#BBCWorldAtOne: #BBC chair Samir Shah has apologised for how #Panorama edited a speech by Donald #Trump - but says it is 'simply not true' nothing has been done to tackle problems raised.

Former BBC Trust member Richard Ayre says it was a 'mistake' this was not publicised earlier.

World at One - British couple detained in Afghanistan are released - BBC Sounds A British couple detained for nearly eight months in Afghanistan are freed.

V good #BBCWorldatOne with JonnyDymond careful, nuanced analysis: #productivity #NHS @helenmiller.bsky.social Matthew Taylor @nhsconfed.org; estimable @camanpour.bsky.social: #Trump, #freespeech; BBC Alex Forsyth on #Reform #Lancashire cl+realities of governing, responsibility+ “efficiency savings”.

BBC Radio 4 - Currently, One Week in Gaza The daily realities and private thoughts of a young woman living through war.

Poignant, terrifying, shocking, latest entries serialised at #BBCWorldatOne this week all #BBCSounds. A shame, an outrage and a tragedy. Written magnificently.

#BBCWORLDATONE. Farage called for deportation of anyone who was brown. So yes he is a fascist.

An essential corrective IMO. It wd be helpful, timely,+is long overdue IMO for #BBCNews #BBCBreakfast #BBCr4today #BBCWorldatOne #BBCPM if such perspectives were broadcast as often as those of Reform. Or is #BBC so frightened now that it pursues only Reform audiences? @cornwallchar.bsky.social

#BBCWorldatOne: White House says Donald Trump has withdrawn secret service protection for Kamala Harris.

World at One - President Trump and Sir Kier Starmer meet - BBC Sounds The latest from Scotland as president Trump says a ceasefire in Gaza is still 'possible'.

Appalling right-wing bias of #BBCWorldAtOne
500,000ppl join new political party over weekend-zero coverage on Monday!
But 10 min to cover retirement of Estonian ambassador!
BBC must stop allowing RW media papers dictate what to cover.

@bbcnews #bbcworldatone why do you persist in interviewing the toxic, repellent fraud #SebastianGorka?

Every word out of his mouth is a lie.

World at One - 28/04/2025 - BBC Sounds News, analysis and comment from BBC Radio 4

Incredible & moving piece about #OasisPlay on the #BBCWorldatOne today, such a powerful articulation of why inclusive #AdventurePlay & youth spaces matter & how glorious they can be. Listen from 28:40 here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... #SaveOasisStockwell

#BBCWorldatOne 13.18 crystal clear Adam Berman of @EnergyUKcomms that #netzero is *not* the cause of high #UK #energy costs. All #BBC journalists need robustly to challenge all politicians who promote this #misinformation. It’s correlated almost exactly with international gas prices.

Prof Andrew Pollard, Director Oxford Vaccine Group, tells BBC’s Sarah Montague #BBCWorldatOne UK has c70% #flu #vaccine coverage of 65+.
So still nearly 3m potentially vulnerable ppl unvaccinated. Time for govt to plan huge national advertising+education campaign on all platforms for next winter?

Chris Philp is a nasty piece of work. His entire focus is to smear Starmer’s record as DPP. The fate of the abused girls is a dreary second to this. #bbcworldatone #wato

Stella Creasey speaking sense on the way forward for the UK and it's relationship with Europe. #BBCWorldatOne

So depressing to hear the excellent @bbcstever.bsky.social+ @sarahrainsfordbbc.bsky.social with Jonny Dymond #BBCWorldAtOne on prospects for “negotiations” to end #Ukraine #Russian war. We have let them down terribly, IMO. Catch up at #BBCSounds.

There is excellent work+interviewing across #BBC, but it’s embedded in busy programmes eg #BBCPM, #BBCr4today #BBCWorldatOne. There’s nothing long-form+discrete like #BBCHARDtalk, so valued by people in countries where journalists cannot hold politicians to account…

"U-turn on a U-turn" is just what markets LOVE.

For those at the back who are hard of hearing and also cognitively impaired, that is a joke.
