Your Back. This

0:27

is The Times' afternoon briefing on Wednesday,

0:29

10th April. A major review has

0:32

concluded healthcare for children wanting to change

0:34

gender has been built on shaky foundations

0:36

and affected by ideology. Dr

0:38

Hilary Cass's review has been four years in

0:40

the making and is the world's biggest review

0:42

of transgender healthcare. She says a

0:45

more holistic approach is needed to support

0:47

children who are questioning their gender rather

0:49

than focusing on medical intervention. Services should

0:51

be moved into a paediatric setting

0:54

where there's a much broader multidisciplinary

0:56

team who are able to think

0:58

about things like they may be

1:00

neurodiverse, they may have mental health

1:02

problems, they may not be in school.

1:05

All of those things you need to support

1:08

the young people with if they're going

1:10

to thrive and they're going to be

1:12

able to really address their gender issues.

1:14

The government has welcomed the review and

1:17

safeguarding minister Laura Farris told Times Radio

1:19

that broader model will be guided by

1:21

ministers. There shouldn't be a disparity in

1:23

the way that this is implemented. The

1:25

school's guidance that we've published in the

1:27

last few months has national

1:29

impact. There isn't room for schools to

1:32

sort of go off on their own

1:36

diversion on this. We're absolutely

1:38

clear there needs to be transparency from top

1:40

to toe and schools should be following the

1:42

government guidance. Laura Butnott, the former

1:44

MP who was featured in the ITV

1:46

post office drama is giving evidence to

1:48

the inquiry into the horizon IT scandal.

1:50

The long time campaigner for wrongfully convicted

1:53

sub postmasters explains why he was left

1:55

frustrated and annoyed by the government at

1:57

the time. Because I'd wanted what had

1:59

seemed to me to be something

2:03

that was potentially an injustice

2:05

to be sorted out. And

2:08

since the government owned the

2:10

post office, I assumed that

2:12

the government would be in a

2:14

position to sort it out. But they were

2:17

saying, no, not me, Gov. Asalting

2:19

a shop worker is going to be made

2:21

a separate criminal offence in a government U-turn.

2:23

Ministers have previously ruled out the legislation saying

2:26

it didn't think it was required. The new

2:28

offence will carry a maximum sentence of six

2:30

months imprisonment or an unlimited fine. Three

2:33

people have been charged with public order

2:35

offences after a pro-Palestinian protest outside Sir

2:37

Kia Stalmer's home. A group put

2:39

children's shoes in the Labour leader's front garden

2:41

and hung a banner from a hedge. The

2:44

Prime Minister and the Home Secretary have

2:46

condemned the protest, but one of those

2:48

demonstrating who hasn't been charged, Kia Rosati,

2:51

defended their actions on Times Radio. We

2:53

tried everything else. We tried writing to

2:55

MPs. We tried petitions. We tried matches.

2:57

None of that has worked. And

3:00

I hope that everyone else understands

3:02

the absolute necessity for

3:04

this. And Athletics gold

3:06

medal winners will become the first Olympians to

3:08

get prize money this summer. The governing body,

3:10

World Athletics, has set up a £1.9 million

3:13

prize pot. And Olympic champions at the

3:15

Paris Games will get almost £40,000 each.

3:18

Those who get silver or bronze will get money

3:20

from 2028. There's more on these

3:22

stories throughout the day on Times Radio.
