DJ Lucy Edwards. Civil partnerships for all couples. Breaking or forming habits.

Civil partnerships have been in place for same-sex couples since December 2005 but as of today  they're open to mixed sex couples.  We hear from the campaigners, Rebecca Steinfield and Charles Keidan  who first appeared on the programme nearly six years ago after they announced their intention to be civilly married in the Jewish Chronicle.  Since then they've fought to be able to legally register their union. We hear from them today as they are finally able to become civil partners in the eyes of the law.Yesterday a 19 year-old woman was found guilty of lying about being gang-raped in Ayia Napa in Cyprus. She withdrew her allegation after a lengthy late night interrogation by police during which no lawyer was present.  She will be sentenced next week.  Women’s groups and criminal justice campaigners have expressed their concerns about the police investigation, and the judge's handling of her case. Joan Smith explains her concerns about the conviction and what is likely to happen next. Sue Elliott Nicholls has had a lot of mothers, some were hers and some she has deliberately found for herself for a little extra maternal back up. She thought it was just her thing but it turns out that spare mother-figures are more common than we  might think. Lucy Edwards made history last week when she became the first blind person to present their own show on BBC Radio 1. She joins Jane to discuss her ambitions and what she's learned from her first shows.Presenter  Jane Garvey.Producer  Beverley PurcellGuest;  Rebecca SteinfieldGuest;  Charles Keidan  Guest;  Lucy Edwards Guest;  Joan SmithReporter Sue Elliott Nicholls

Mixed sex civil partnerships. Second Mums. DJ Lucy Edwards

In May the High Court ruled that the use of Tactile Voting Devices was unlawful. Blind and VI people are regularly confronted with polling staff who do not seem to realise the rules, so ahead of the General Election we discuss what you're entitled to with Ailsa Irvine from the Electoral Commission. We also hear from Rachael Andrews who brought the case on the basis that her vote as a blind person was not secret and independent. Lucy Edwards is no stranger to In Touch, she's a You Tuber, a reporter and now - Radio One's first blind DJ. She tells us about making a piece of radio history as experienced music DJ Jill Barkley gives her a few tips about navigating the wheels of steel without sight. And as a ban on Russian athletes competing in world sport is renewed, Mani Djazmi guides us through the world of drugs in disabled sport - and the thorny question of whether unscrupulous coaches can sometimes make blind sportsmen and women unwittingly cheat. Presented by Peter WhiteProduced by Kevin Core
