- Are "Bride Price" weddings celebrating African identity - or scams which demean women? British grooms whose families originate from parts of Africa are paying money for their bride.
It’s known as “Bride Price” and has a long history – but campaigners now fear it’s being misused and exploited. Considered by many as only symbolic, Bride Price sometimes sees tens of thousands of pounds change hands. The cash is normally paid to the men in the Bride’s family… and campaigners want it stopped.
Geoff and Angela are both British, but like many couples of Ghanaian descent they have chosen to express their identities by having a traditional wedding.
That includes Geoff paying Angela's family a Bride Price as part of the marriage.
We see the preparations and rehearsals, hear about why a traditional wedding is important to both of them and their families, and witness their big day. Nyasha Michelle asks where we draw the line bet...

Mark used running to cope with his friend’s suicide. But it grew to take over his identity.
He'd turned to running as a coping mechanism. But it took over his life, and Mark says he’d “be out running before I even realised I was doing it”. He created it as a safety bubble – but then realised he couldn’t get out: “I couldn’t figure out any other way of coping with anything.” It was only when he spoke out about his depression that his relationship with running went back to normal.
The 26-year-old says: “My identity was built around me being a runner. Now I’d say I’m someone who runs.”

- Description
- As animals try to recover from bushfires which have ravaged Australia, wildlife services in New South Wales have taken to the skies to help wallabies. The marsupials' food sources and habitats have been burned in the fires, so authorities are airdropping over 2,000 kg of carrots and sweet potatoes from helicopters. Elsewhere in the state, communities and rescue centres have helped kangaroos, camels, horses and alpacas to survive. But they're the lucky ones - many more animals have died in the fires, and in some cases the animals have had to be put down because their burns are too severe.

- Hundreds of thousands of women who’ve had cosmetic implants insist that a range of symptoms, from joint pain to horrendous allergic reactions, are connected to their silicone implants. They say it's the mysterious phenomenon of breast implant illness (BII).
Many are now reversing the surgery and having them out - and report almost instant relief from the symptoms. But the NHS does not recognise breast implant illness and surgeons are sure other psychological factors are at play. Other countries, however, are recognising and officially warning about BII, and leading experts claim the UK is falling dangerously behind.

- A student joins a church accused of "racism" and "hate" - and there she meets a killer. Her family say she was seduced by a "cult" which failed to protect her. Joy Morgan had left home after upsetting her family by calling her sisters "white devils". A civil rights organisation in the USA, the Southern Poverty Law Center, has defined the church as a "hate group" and it's been called a black nationalist group. Israel United in Christ (IUIC) is part of a wider "Black Hebrew Israelite" movement. The church believes black, Hispanic and Native American people are the descendants of the biblical 12 tribes of Israel. All other ethnic groups will eventually become their "servants". But IUIC denies it's a hate group or racist, it doesnt recognise the Southern Poverty Law Center as being reputable and says it teaches all followers to obey the laws of the land. A message that didn't get through to one member, Shohfah-El Israel - the man who murdered Joy Morgan. Why he killed her remains a mystery...

- Canada legalised weed in 2018 - should Britain do it? | Newsbeat Documentaries
- Date posted
- 4 years ago
- Description
- Canada's legalised it, so three British MPs go on a weed trip to see if the UK could do the same. Being the first major Western country to go fully legal, Newsbeat ask - has it worked?
Labour's David Lammy thinks the UK criminalises too many young black men because of cannabis laws, and wants to decide whether it should be legalised here. Norman Lamb already wants legalisation - his Liberal Democrat party has made it official policy. Conservative Jonathan Djanogly knows many of his young constituents use cannabis regularly, but he's going to Canada with an open mind on what to do about it.
The UK's allowed limited use of cannabis-based medicines - and history shows that's often the first step to much wider legalisation - including for recreational use. But change rarely goes as planned... which maybe explains why around half of the weed in Canada is still bought illegally!

He's a leading contender but British heavyweight boxer Dillian Whyte says he's not getting a fair shot at a world title. Some commentators see it as a stitch-up.
BBC Newsbeat has spent the last eight months following the 30-year-old, following every twist and turn as he fights for his chance to compete for a title. It's looking like there's a chance of having another crack at old rival Anthony Joshua, who has 3 of the world belts. Then there's being made mandatory challenger against Deontay Wilder. Will any of these pan out?
We start with day 1 of the camp to prepare for Whyte's fight with Derek Chisora, Newsbeat's sports journalist Eleanor Roper investigates what it takes to be a top class boxer and the business of bagging a title shot.
Dillian Whyte: Fighting to be Champ is a Newsbeat documentary made by the people who do the news on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra.

"It's just one of them things: you wake up, you have your breakfast, you stab someone," he says.

The 26-year-old served six years in prison for a range of gang-related crime and tells Radio 1 Newsbeat he believes tougher sentences would have encouraged him to change his ways a lot earlier.

- ME sufferer Emma Donohoe investigates how young people cope with the debilitating illness, of which symptoms can include devastating fatigue, digestion issues and brain fog. It comes as current treatments for the condition are being reviewed, after years of controversy.
Emma meets the mother of a 21 year old who died after suffering for years from ME and says her daughter’s condition is so stigmatised and misunderstood she was embarrassed to tell people what she was suffering from.
We discover it’s an illness which many doctors don’t understand and people still talk about “yuppy flu” - thinking sufferers are being lazy or too depressed to get out of bed.
