Really honoured our @BBCRadio4 #Fileon4 exposing modern slavery in the care sector has been shortlisted for the @HumanTraffFdn Anti-Slavery Day Awards. None of this would be possible without ‘Terri’ who trusted us to tell her story and the many others we spoke to in its making

Would you go to a restaurant where the customer service is intentionally bad? Or perhaps you would like to eat right in the basin of a waterfall in the Philippines? We ask if immersive dining is the future of eating out 🍽️

For the past month, we have been investigating modern slavery in the care sector. 'Terri' came to the UK from Africa on a skilled worker visa and was made to work 20 hour days. She has been brave enough to tell us her story. Presented by @Datshiane.

“Kanye is NOT a gospel artist. He’s an artist that did a gospel record.” Gospel artist @marvinsapp talks to @IzzyGreenfield about how he had no issue with Ye doing gospel but DOES hold issue with artists who come into gospel and monopolise the charts. https://t.co/BcVDOVKZTG
