Sense and Sensibility, Women in Iran, Rebecca F Kuang, Climber Shauna Coxsey

Available for over a year

A new film adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility will be released in cinemas on Friday 25 September. Austen's first published novel tells the story of the Dashwood sisters, who are forced to leave their family estate after their father's death and move to a cottage in rural Devonshire. More than 200 years after its original publication, the story is returning to the big screen. The production stars Daisy Edgar-Jones as Elinor and Esmé Creed-Miles as Marianne. Screenwriter Diana Reid and director Georgia Oakley join Nuala McGovern to discuss the film. A new report from Amnesty International names 87 Iranian officials it says should be criminally investigated for crimes against humanity during the crackdown following the death of young Kurdish Iranian woman Mahsa Amini, four years ago today. Raha Bahreini, a human rights lawyer and Amnesty International's Iran researcher, outlines the report and its call for action. BBC Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet discusses what life is like for women in Iran today. Elite rock climber Shauna Coxsey has become the first woman to complete the UK's hardest deep-water solo climb. Shauna scaled The Olympiad, an overhanging cliff route above the sea in Pembrokeshire. Deep-water solo climbing involves scaling coastal routes without ropes or a harness, with climbers falling into the sea if they come off. Nuala speaks to Shauna, who is Britain's most successful competitive climber and the UK's first Bouldering World Champion. Rebecca F Kuang, author of the bestselling and critically acclaimed novel Yellowface, discusses her latest book, Taipei Story. It follows Lily, a Yale student who leaves America for an intensive summer language course in Taiwan's capital. Food, language, identity, grief and humour are all part of the story as Lily navigates translation, miscommunication and her family's cultural heritage.
