JK Rowling praises BBC newsreader Martine Croxall for refusing to say ‘pregnant people' live on air

However, as she reads along the autocue, she raises an eyebrow and smirks at the camera after having to say "pregnant people" could be at risk in the heat. She then quickly overrides this, saying "women" instead, before moving on with the rest of the script. Martine read: "Malcolm Mistry, who was involved in the research, said the aged, pregnant people - women! - and those with pre-existing health conditions need to take precautions." Reposting the clip on X, JK Rowling praised the BBC presenter, saying she was her "new favourite". It is understood that the term "pregnant people" had been written by the researchers and was being quoted, rather than the BBC having written the phrase. Other commenters also jumped in to praise "brilliant" Martine, with one saying: "I hope you don't get hauled before the BBC News break." In response, Martine joked: "Braced x".

Ms Rowling posted a lengthy rebuttal in which she accused the Karma Chameleon singer, whose real name is George O'Dowd, of sneering at 'unenlightened plebs' who reject the notion that trans women are women. She added: 'I've never been given 15 months for handcuffing a man to a wall and beating him with a chain.' Boy George was jailed in 2009 for handcuffing an escort to his bed and inflicting 'wholly gratuitous violence' at a property in Shoreditch, east London, in April 2007. The court was told that the cocaine-fuelled attack on Audun Carlsen, a Norwegian man, had been 'premeditated and callous' and had left the victim 'traumatised'. Boy George had been found guilty at an earlier trial of false imprisonment and beating Carlsen with a chain with the help of another man, whom he had never identified. Ms Rowling rejected Boy George's claim that she was entitled. During a conversation on clarifying "what the word woman means", Heather declared she felt like she was "under attack" from Martine's questioning. The veteran BBC newsreader countered by questioning how it could be an "attack" when all she was asking for was clarification. She then told Heather that the ruling made it clear "sex is binary and immutable" after the trans activist denied that local authorities - who have not protected single sex spaces based on biological sex - may have to reverse policies as a result of the ruling.

Glasgow should follow Barcelona's Primavera with 'dedicated outdoor events space'
Glasgow should follow the example of Barcelona's Primavera Sound festival and set up a dedicated outdoor events space, a councillor has said. Summer Sessions got under way in Bellahouston Park on Saturday, with a performance by the Sex Pistols, Sting, Simple Minds and Stereophonics to all follow over the next seven days. TRNSMT festival will then take place in Glasgow Green during July. But the events can cause disruption for the local community, with complaints about parks being damaged in recent years. Cllr Jon Molyneux, co-leader of the city's Green group, said: 'Big events bring people into Glasgow and support our global reputation as a city of music. 'But having to rely on Glasgow Green and Bellahouston Park to host them does have an impact on citizens who have huge swathes of their parks fenced off for weeks at a time and then have areas that are badly damaged afterwards. 'Bellahouston is also slap bang in the middle of a residential area and the events put big strain on public transport as well as dozens of road closures.' He thinks Glasgow should look to Barcelona where the popular Primavera Sound is held at Parc del Forum — which was created for the 2004 Universal Forum of Cultures and has since hosted many events and festivals. Land around the SEC could be used, he suggested. Cllr Molyneux, whose Pollokshields ward covers Bellahouston Park, highlighted how the events space in Barcelona has dedicated bus and tram connections. 'It is in a purpose-built space which combines both indoor and outdoor venues that are able to support a wide variety of events all year round,' he said. 'Something similar could be done using the land around the SEC, including its massive surface car park, all the way up to the Riverside Museum. 'If not there, then Glasgow is not exactly short of unused land, some of which is not suitable for building on, and this could also be integrated into plans for Clyde Metro. 'If we believe parks should serve local communities as well as wanting to keep Glasgow on the musical map, I think this is something the council and city partners should give consideration to.'
