Lab Wars - St Pancras Development
The UK Centre for Medical Research and Innovation has submitted a planning application to build a biological research lab behind the British Library next to St Pancras station. The planning application has been opposed by some of the local community for several reasons, especially because it fails to provide the housing that had been earmarked for this site. Camden Community Radio’s Caron Bell and Harriet Bird met some leading figures from both sides of the debate. Objections to the scheme can be submitted to Camden Council up till the middle of November.

Working to Stop Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in Kenya, Somalia & London
The World Health Organisation and the United Nations agree that the practice of FGM infringes the human rights of over 100 million girls and women, endangers their health and risks damage to babies during childbirth. Maasai Woman, Agnes Pareiyo, who was in London recently, is working to eradicate the practice of FGM in Kenya through the Tasaru Ntomonok Initiative. Asha-Kin Duale, came to London as a refugee from Somalia in the 1990s, is a long term campaigner to end the practice among Somalis and works as a Community Partnership Adviser. Talking to ccradio’s Marian Larragy, they trace the way the practice fits into local belief systems in each country and discuss legal and social strategies to combat it. Editing by Christina Moore.
