Understanding menopause and Chris Kaba - what’s next?

1Xtra Talks with Richie Brave

Available for over a year

The firearms officer accused of the murder of Chris Kaba was acquitted - a heart-breaking conclusion for the Kaba family. Richie is joined by barrister and Chair of the Independent Scrutiny and Oversight Board Abimbola Johnson to talk about the options now available to the Kaba family, why the charge was murder and not manslaughter, why the reporting restrictions were put in place, and what new home office measures about firearms officers anonymity mean for the future. Richie is also joined by presenter and correspondent Adina Campbell who was in court during the trial. Also on the show - how can we learn more about menopause and support those going through it? Richie is joined by broadcaster, author and menopause advocate Karen Arthur. And are you ready for cuffing season? 1Xtra's love guru Kaylee Golding updates Richie on her bid to get two lucky listeners on a blind date!
