Judges in Jeopardy

from The Law Show · host BBC Radio 4

Joshua Rozenberg speaks to women judges whose lives have been at risk since the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan. Forced to leave their high-profile careers behind, many are faced with an impossible dilemma: do they choose a potential escape to freedom? Or do they stay with their families, in hiding and on the run? Ahead of Cop26, Joshua wades into a burning debate on whether or not fossil fuel companies are entitled to compensation from governments which make the switch to cleaner, renewable energy ahead of schedule. And he speaks to Christian Weaver, a young barrister whose new book aims to educate the public about their legal rights in 60 second bursts.Producer: Paul Connolly Researcher: Louise Byrne Studio Manager: Rod Farquhar
