New research from the Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse suggests one in five girls and one in ten boys experience sexual abuse during childhood. Yet the organisation says only a fraction of those children are ever identified by professionals. We discuss the findings with the Centre's Deputy Director, Anna Glinski, and ask why so many children are still being missed. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has worked with female athletes to develop new guidelines that aim to avoid sexualising the action with unnecessary camera angles. UK Athletics President Denise Lewis and Danielle Sellwood, sports documentary maker, gives us their thoughts. AI ethicist Dr Eleanor Drage discusses her new book What If We Got AI Right? and why putting women at the centre of artificial intelligence could help create a fairer future. Tomorrow night Dalia Stasevska will open the 麻豆社 Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, the biggest night in classical music. Dalia is the Finnish-Ukrainian Principal Guest Conductor of the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra. Away from the podium, she鈥檚 become one of the fiercest champions of Ukrainian composers and her new album Ukrainian Mixtape, recorded with the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra, showcases rarely heard works. Dalia joins Anita to discuss what we can expect from the first night of 麻豆社 Proms, her passion for conducting, and Ukrainian music. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Simon Richardson
