Ellie Downie

A new report from the women’s and equalities committee is calling on the government to eliminate what it calls ‘appalling disparities in maternal deaths between black and white women’.  Black women are 3.7 times more likely to die in pregnancy, childbirth or six weeks afterwards than white women.  Nuala discusses the issues with MP Caroline Nokes, who chairs the committee, and Sandra Igwe, who founded the Motherhood Group to support black women.  As the government prepares to launch the first nationwide test of a new emergency alert system on our smartphones this Sunday afternoon at 3pm, domestic abuse charities are concerned about the potential risk to domestic abuse survivors.  Nuala speaks to Ellie Butt, Head of policy, publc affairs and research at the charity Refuge.Last year the libel trial between feuding footballers' wives, Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy, gripped the nation. Now, the legal tussle has moved from the Royal Courts of Justice to London's West End stage in a show called Vardy V Rooney: The Wagatha Christie Trial. Nuala talks to the director, Lisa Spirling, and adapter, Liv Hennessy, to find out how they turned seven days of court transcripts into a play. The former European Champion gymnast Ellie Downie is No 4 on our Woman’s Hour Power List.  In 2020 Ellie spoke out about systemic abuse in the world of gymnastics – contributing to a major independent review into the sport.  She retired from gymnastics in January this year – in order to protect her own mental health. She joins to discuss what impact she thinks her honesty about her own experiences has had long term.Multi-award-winning Scottish smallpiper Brighde Chaimbeul is a BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award winner, and is performing at King's Place this weekend in a concert that showcases the Scottish smallpipes.Presented by Nuala McGovernProducer: Louise CorleyEditor: Karen Dalziel
