Andrew Tate has become one of the most famous internet celebrities in the world by making incendiary, meme-friendly videos promoting misogyny. But long before he was famous, Tate was accused of rape by multiple women in the U.K.. He was never prosecuted. Now, years later, Tate is under arrest on charges of human trafficking and rape in Romania. So what happened to the Tate rape case in the U.K.? Why wasn’t he ever formally charged?

On this episode of VICE News Reports, documentarian Matt Shea talks to one of the women who accused Andrew Tate of rape years ago and investigates why the U.K.’s justice system is prosecuting so few rape cases.

In February, Tyre Nichols’ friends and family filled a Sacramento skate shop to remember their fellow skateboarder, friend, and brother. 29-year-old Nichols died on January 10th, 2023, three days after being brutally beaten by the Memphis police at a traffic stop. In the aftermath of Nichols’ death, VICE News’ Alexis Johnson heads to Memphis, Tennessee to understand how a city focused on police reform failed to prevent such a violent encounter and how some citizens are re-imagining public safety.

You’ve seen the headlines about quiet quitting, the four-day workweek, and The Great Resignation. In recent years the millions of Americans who work office jobs have been inundated with commentary and buzzwords that all point to one central theme, many of us are dissatisfied with the old ways of working. But if we only worked the hours we absolutely had to, what would we do with our free time? Who would we be? 

In this episode, VICE producer Sam Eagan sets up an experiment where he slips under the radar while working as little as he possibly can, all while interrogating his own relationship to work and productivity along the way.

For many Latinx kids in the ‘00s, the party crew scene was a safe space to express themselves as they came of age in the grit and glitter of Los Angeles. A space to make friends, forget about your problems and dance

the night away. But the scene wasn’t always physically safe. There were shootings and police raids. Many adults saw the scene as gang-adjacent and the media fueled negative stereotypes of kids who were out of control. One of the teens who got caught in that narrative was Emmery Muñoz, after she was murdered in 2006.

In a new VICE series – Party Crews: The Untold Story, host Janice Llamoca goes on a Y2K-filled journey back in time to her own party crew days to find out what this scene meant for teens like her and Emmery, and why – to this day – Emmery’s case remains unsolved. From VICE and LAist Studios as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.  

Party Crews: The Untold Story is written, reported and hosted by Janice Llamoca, and produced and reported by Sophia Paliza-Carre, Victoria Alejandro and Kyle Chang. Edited by Antonia Cereijido. Additional editing by Annie Aviles. Fact-checking by Nidia Bautista.

In 1912, a Black couple named Charles and Willa Bruce bought a parcel of land in Manhattan Beach, CA and turned it into a successful seaside resort for Black Californians. They were driven out of town -- by white city officials who didn’t want Black neighbors. A hundred years later, a state law allowed for the return of the property to the Bruces' descendants. But the city of Manhattan Beach has yet to apologize for its actions. In 2021, VICE producer Julia Nutter headed to Manhattan Beach to explore the tensions that played out in what many were calling a test case of land reparations for African Americans. Listen through to the end for the latest updates on the sale of Bruce’s Beach.
