Hungary set to ban LGBTQ+ gatherings

Parliament in Hungary is voting to ban publish gatherings seen as promoting homosexuality.

We speak to people from Hungary's LGBTQ+ community about their everyday life and the consitutional amendment that would allow authorities to ban public gatherings seen as promoting homosexuality or gender reassignment.

We hear a mix of views on whether space flights, like today’s Blue Origin rocket one with six women onboard, are vanity projects without value or justification. We speak to a space expert and hear from our listeners around the world.

The White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood has condemned a sketch that impersonated her using exaggerated prosthetic teeth. We speak to comedians about making fun of someone’s appearance.

Presenter: Luke Jones.
