      BT, a sponsor of this podcast, supports businesses of all sizes and types, promising to help them succeed. Meanwhile, Scotland Yard has decided against reinvestigating sexual assault claims against Prince Andrew, despite new evidence emerging in the US. Disruptions continue in England and Wales due to heavy rain and flooding, causing significant damage. In other news, Oscar Pistorius, who was released from prison in South Africa, is now banned from drinking alcohol and must attend anger management sessions. A 16-year-old boy was murdered in North London, and five teenagers have been questioned, with two further arrests made.

    • Secret recordings of Post Office senior staff uncoveredRecordings of Post Office leaders during the pandemic may alter the findings of an ongoing inquiry, with former boss Paula Bennell facing calls to return her CBE due to allegations of knowing about faulty computer system.

      The public inquiry into the false accounting scandal at the Post Office has uncovered secret recordings of senior staff, including its former boss, Paula Bennell, who is facing calls to return her CBE due to allegations she knew about issues with the computer system that wrongly accused hundreds of postmasters of theft and led to prosecutions. The existence of these recordings, which were made during the COVID-19 pandemic, could significantly impact the inquiry's findings. Meanwhile, Health Secretary Victoria Atkins has proposed ending the junior doctor strike in England if medics return to work, and new images reveal that Neptune and Uranus, two distant planets in our solar system, are closer in color than previously believed. Additionally, UnitedHealthcare offers short-term health insurance plans for those between jobs or starting a new business, and 1-800-Flowers helps customers celebrate Mother's Day with discounted gifts. A crocodile cannot stick out its tongue, and a cool fact is that Neptune and Uranus share a similar shade of greenish blue.
