Team sports versus solo sports, The Power List: Devolution and Marginalisation, Karen Edwards and French Airforce in York. Presented by Jenni Murray.

Presented by Jenni Murray.According to the England Netball Association a million women and girls in the UK play the game regularly. But when it comes to exercise and sport many women prefer to exercise alone rather than teaming up with other women? What are the benefits of going solo compared to the camaraderie of competing in a team. As part of our series to find the most powerful women in Britain, we'll be asking: who are the influential women outside of London, and do they get overlooked? Are your opportunities to wield power limited if the decision makers are in the capital and you're in Glasgow or Manchester or Newcastle? Karen Edwards' daughter, Becky Godden-Edwards, disappeared in 2003. Last year Christopher Halliwell confessed to murdering Becky, and another young woman, Sian O'Callaghan. Halliwell was jailed for life at Bristol Crown Court in October for killing Sian, but prosecutors have been unable to charge him with Becky's murder after police ignored rules when arresting him. Karen Edwards explains why she's fighting to have the police officer involved in Halliwell's arrest cleared of any wrongdoing. And Geoff Bird meets veterans and the families of some of the French airmen who were based at RAF Elvington near York during World War II.
