Olivia Dean's success, Esports, Andi Osho

It's OIivia Dean's world and we are all just living in it. The 27-year-old music star picked up three MOBO awards last night to add to her four Brit awards and her Grammy for Best New Artist. So what is the secret to her massive success? BBC Newsbeat reporter Naomi Clarke who was at the MOBOs in Manchester last night and joins Anita Rani.

A new investigation by CNN has uncovered online group chats which they say show men from around the world openly exchanging tips on how to drug and rape their wives. It has echos of the Gisele Pelicot case which shocked the world, when a high profile court case in 2024 revealed how she was drugged and raped, whilst unconscious, by her husband. He and 46 other men were convicted of rape, two more of attempted rape and two of sexual assault. Joining Anita is CNN's Paris Bureau Chief Saskya Vandoorne, who conducted their investigations into online group chats, and Zoe, who also took part in their report.

We’re delving into the world of eSports, also known as electronic sports, as a major video game festival gets underway in Birmingham. eSports is a thriving business with professional leagues and a global, devoted following. To discuss, Anita is joined by Hannah Marie ZT, an eSports and gaming journalist, and Viiki, an eSports gamer and content creator who is competing at the festival.

Actor, writer and comedian Andi Osho’s latest novel, Most Wanted, is about a couple who are so frustrated with not being able to get a foot on the housing ladder, they go on a crime spree to bring prices down. Andi tells Anita how her own demoralising property search inspired the book and why community spirit matters.
