In this slightly bonkers Green Room special Emma Barnett, Women’s Editor of the Telegraph, gets to the bottom of why we are all so hush hush about masturbating, via a homemade confessional, Caitlin Moran and a wet dream team of assembled experts from the realms of religion, history and sex. Ladies, emuff is emuff – let’s own it.

A Kenyan court has sentenced the leader of a doomsday cult, Paul Mackenzie, to 200 years in prison for murdering 191 people, all but one of them children.

Alongside 28 others, Mackenzie was found guilty of the murders for instructing members of his cult to starve their children to death so they could “meet Jesus”.

The self-styled pastor was arrested in 2023 after the discovery of more than 400 bodies in shallow graves in Shakahola forest near the Kenyan coast. The sprawling investigation into the cases shocked Kenya and drew international attention.

The court sentenced Mackenzie to 100 years in prison for homicide and another 100 years for offences related to starvation.

Speaking out about the mafia can come at a price and for writer Roberto Saviano that has meant 10 years living under police protection. In a book published in 2006, he exposed the activities of the Camorra, a mafia organisation based in Naples, described as Italy’s most bloody and ruthless criminal group. Matthew Price spoke to Mr Saviano, for the Victoria Derbyshire programme, about living with a death threat from the mafia.

They became known as East Timor’s stolen generation – around 4,000 children taken from their families in the 1980s and 1990s during Indonesia’s brutal occupation. Some were conscripted into the Indonesian military; others taken by religious groups or state institutions. Indonesia calls them the “separated children” and denies they were taken by force.
Now a local NGO is taking them back to East Timor – now an independent nation – for the first time. The BBC followed Alberto Mohamed, now 43, as he returns to track down his family.
