This week Julie Butler and Laura Sheppard are donning their garlands of flowers and blue woad face paint to join the crowds at Butser Ancient Farm celebrating the Celtic festival of Beltain to welcome in the summer.

They encounter the May Queen, the Green Man and are overshadowed by the impressive 40 feet tall Wicker Man. Mark Ford is the landscape artist behind this year's design, and chats to Julie and Laura as they make their way around the site talking to artisans and performers.

It's the Ppod: Tuesdays at 9, Wednesdays at 7 and always online at shineradio.uk

From surviving the horrors of Bucha to rebuilding a career and life in the United Kingdom — a powerful story of resilience, trauma, and hope.

In this episode of the "Cold Coffee" podcast, host Iva Lomas talks with Anna, a Ukrainian lawyer whose family narrowly survived being shot at by Russian troops in their car while attempting to flee Bucha during the early weeks of the war.

Tragedies that reshape nations and shatter everyday life leave lasting scars — just as 9/11 forever changed America, the ongoing war in Ukraine continues to destroy homes, lives, and the sense of safety for millions. Today, the crisis is far from over, and vulnerable Ukrainians still urgently need global solidarity and shelter.

The Government has withdrawn its decision on local government reorganisation in Hampshire and the Solent, meaning plans affecting East Hampshire will now be reviewed.

The move follows strong local opposition and means that for now the Southern Parishes stay very much part of East Hampshire.

We speak to Cllr Nick Adams-King, Leader of Hampshire County Council to hear his reaction to the announcement.
