Goal of the Year, Cost of Childcare, Remarrying

Duration: 58 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

Available for over a year

Jenni Murray will be talking to the woman whose footwork has landed her a place on the Fifa goal of the year shortlist against footballing superstars, James Rodriguez and Robin Van Persie. Republic of Ireland player Stephanie Roche's wonder goal was witnessed live by less than a hundred people - though six million have now seen it online. Is women's football finally earning its rightful place?

New research by the charity 4Children has found that one in five parents will cut hours or consider giving up work altogether this year because of the cost of childcare. Jenni talks to 4Children CEO Anne Longfield, who's also been appointed the next Children's Commissioner, about the problem.

As British actress Tallulah Riley and the billionaire founder of paypal, Elon Musk announce they're about to divorce for the second time, having split up and got back together once before, Jenni will be asking why they remarried in the first place? Is remarrying the same person always a recipe for disaster? If you're somebody who's re-found love with your ex, whatever the outcome, we'd love to hear your story.

The news this week that the average age of the first time buyer has risen yet again - this time to the age of thirty - won't surprise anybody. But it got us wondering, where are all those twenty-somethings living in the meantime? And if your adult children move back in to save, as record numbers have done, is it okay to charge them rent? Hear the debate on Womans Hour. Show less
