The Quicky

With more devastating reports from Ukraine of horrific crimes including massacres, torture and rape being committed by Russian forces against civilians, there are increasing calls for Russian President Vladimir Putin and his soldiers to be prosecuted for war crimes. But who actually has the authority to make them face consequences for these horrendous acts, and would that really put an end to the conflict given that such trials have in the past taken years to reach a verdict? The Quicky speaks to an expert in international law to find out what is and isn't possible when it comes to holding Russia to account.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison is still as yet to set a date for the upcoming Federal election, but we know that it will have to take place sometime in May. In preparation, Mamamia asked you what the most important issues are when it comes to deciding how you will vote, and perhaps unsurprisingly climate change came out as the number one priority. So in this election special, The Quicky speaks to all three of the major parties, and an Independent candidate to find out where they stand on climate change, and what they will do if you vote them in to power.

Thankfully there are now a lot of resources and information about menopause for women and their families, but sadly the same can't be said about perimenopause, even though this phase of our lives can last for several years. The Quicky speaks to two experts, and a woman whose own isolating experience of perimenopause led her to start a business, to find out everything you need to know about this important time in your life. If you want more expert advice, from the people who really know perimenopause, you can join Mamamia’s Very Peri Summit. Over two nights, some of the world’s top peri experts will be interviewed by our in-house talent, including The Quicky’s very own Executive Producer, Siobhán Moran-McFarlane. Find out more from Dr Lara Briden, Dr Sonia Davison and others including international sexpert Tracey Cox, psychologist Sandy Rea, and many, many more. The Summit covers everything from what exactly perimenopause is, to what it does to our bodies, and how to manage symptoms. This is your shortcut to avoid years of struggle. You don't just have to suck it up. Streaming online in the evening on May 3rd and and 4th, the Very Peri summit is now on sale. Go to veryperisummit.com to get your early bird discount tickets for $49, which includes on-demand access so you can watch in real-time, or whenever it suits you.

Last month, Prince William and Kate Middleton completed their first official overseas Royal Tour since before the pandemic, but a number of hiccups along the way led some media outlets to describe it as a "disaster". But was it really all that bad? What's the point of a Royal Tour in the Queen's Jubilee year anyway? And are other Commonwealth countries really thinking about following Barbados and becoming Republics? To find out what really went down, and whether what happens on a Royal tour stays on a Royal tour, The Quicky speaks to an expert in Europe's royal families to consider whether this has done lasting damage, or if their popularity will endure.

At the start of the pandemic there was a lot of misinformation suggesting that we couldn't be reinfected with coronavirus more than once, but we now know that is simply not the case, and we can in fact contract Covid-19 multiple times. But why is it that some people seem susceptible to falling prey to different variants, even quite close together, while others seem to remain immune, even when they've been surrounded by people who are very unwell? The Quicky speaks to an expert epidemiologist to find out what factors determine whether you are more or less vulnerable to catching Covid-19 more than once, and if there is anything you can do to reduce your risk.
