It also covers the European Space Agency's release of the first video and image of the Sun's South Pole, offering insights into solar activity. Further segments include a UN report on missed deadlines to end child labor, a story of hope from Gaza where sick children are being evacuated for treatment, and an update on Harvey Weinstein's retrial in New York. The podcast also reports on a vote of confidence won by Poland's pro-EU government, the jailing of a French antique expert for forgery, and the role of the Shakespeare Ladies' Club in reviving the playwright's reputation.
