During the last year of Bashar al-Assad's rule of Syria, Reporters Without Borders ranked the country second to last in the World Press Freedom Index. The country was incredibly dangerous for journalists who had to manage strict government censorship. But in December 2024, Assad's rule was toppled by a swift rebel offensive that took the capital city Damascus within a few days. The country then experienced a level of press freedom it hadn't seen for decades. Dalia Haidar of BBC Arabic worked as a journalist in Syria whilst Assad was in power, she joins us to describe what it was like and what the hopes are for the future.

Georgia finds itself in political turmoil. For decades many Georgians have longed to be a part of the EU, feeling that their values align more closely than they do with neighbours such as Russia and Turkey. But the goverment, led by the conservative Georgian Dream party, has suspended talks to join the EU, in a move that critics say is kowtowing to Russia. Protests have been going on every day since November 2024. Journalists are left to navigate this complex picture as the country finds itself at a crucial moment, reckoning with its past relationship with Russia and its potential future relationship with Europe.

Meanwhile, another name in Russian rhythmic gymnastics is back in the spotlight. A previous student of Irina Viner, Alina Kabaeva won the Olympic gold for rhythmic gymnastics in 2004.

It's been one year since the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini sparked protests and outrage across the world. Anita Rani is joined by author Arash Azizi and human rights researcher Azade Pourzand to take a look at where women in Iran stand now, and the long-term impact that's still being felt. Dr Elsie Inglis was a Scottish woman known as the ‘Serbian Mother from Scotland', who founded four Scottish Women's Hospitals in Serbia during World War One. Together with more than 1,000 woman from Britain and the Commonwealth, she helped to save the lives of allied and enemy soldiers alike. To find out more about her and why she isn't better known in the UK, Anita speaks to three women who are in Serbia to honour her memory at a special ceremony: Carole Powell, Dr Iram Kamran Qureshi and Caroline Ferguson. This week, in a new series called The Knock, we've heard the stories of two women whose lives were changed when they were told that a loved one had been arrested for sexual offences against children. Anita talks to Deborah Denis, Chief Executive of the Lucy Faithfull Foundation, and Rachel Armitage, Professor of Criminology the University of Huddersfield about the impact of 'the knock' on the families and friends of men arrested for these crimes. They'll discuss what support families need, and what they are calling for. The comedian London Hughes has written a memoir, Living My Best Life, Hun. In it, she details her decision to leave the UK, where she experienced bullying and rejection, and go to live in LA, where she quickly became a star. She joins Anita to talk about writing her memoir, turning rejection into opportunity and romanticising her life. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Lottie Garton

I met Caroline Ferguson a couple of years ago when we both attended a workshop on presentation techniques. Not that she particularly needed to improve her technique; from what I could see, she was already doing just fine. After all, having appeared on television, radio and numerous podcasts she has ample public speaking experience.She's won awards as a pathological writing person a.k.a. a comedy writer. Caroline's a not-so-pathological mind unscrambler when she puts her talents to very good use as a business consultant, cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist and mindset trainer to purposeful entrepreneurs and business leaders.She works with her clients to magnify their impact by developing the #1 life skill of self-awareness, overcoming their inner resistance, learning how to manage their mindset and becoming truly effective self-leaders.Caroline wasn't always helping clients exponentially grow their impact though. For many years she worked in business communications but felt increasingly pulled to do something that made a positive difference to people's lives.She started training as a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist and instantly knew she'd found a skill-set that would serve both her and others.Being a therapist was rewarding but Caroline soon realised that the clients she enjoyed working with most were those whose amazing potential was being stifled by limiting beliefs and other mindset blocks. That's when she started providing Mindset Training to purposeful game-changers and she hasn't looked back. Now she's very clear on the impact she wants to make:Helping intelligent, passionate, high-potential women and men to develop self-awareness and gain the mindset tools to stop sabotaging themselves so that they can deliver their own positive impact. Caroline particularly loves working with those rare individuals she calls "Sensitive Upstarts" – the 6% of the population who combine high sensitivity with a strong need for high sensation seeking, which is a thirst for new experiences and adventure.Using CBT, hypnosis and her own mindset training methods, she trains her clients to think in a rational and solution-focused way. This empowers them to overcome the limiting beliefs, low self-worth and unhelpful habits (like procrastination and feeling not good enough) that are keeping them stuck.She helped found the charity, The Book Bus, whose purpose is to encourage children to read and provide them with access to books. Starting out in Zambia the project also set up reading schemes in Malawi and Ecuador. So far The Book Bus has travelled more than 250,000 miles and gave more than 100,000 children access to books.Stepping into her own self-leadership even more than she was doing already, in 2020 Caroline packed up everything to start a year of travelling around the UK and elsewhere in the world.The plan was to housesit in different locations while getting to know her country better and still work with clients while doing so.Then COVID hit and — as it did for so many others — her plans didn't quite work out. Though she has been house sitting as lockdown measures lifted, her travels have not yet been as extensive as originally planned. As society slowly opens up more and more, Caroline's travelling plans are finally starting to come to fruition.In the meantime, what did work out is what she set out to do when the pandemic hit: go for a walk every day. So far she's not missed a single one!When it comes to Nature as she puts it: “She is beguiled by the natural world and walks in Nature every day, regardless of the weather – preferably with a dog for company.”

Are you over the whole Coronavirus thing? We know you will be experiencing all sorts of feelings and one of them may be guilt. Your perfectionist instincts may be riding you to aspire to unrealistic expectations of perfect at home learning conditions, enriching activities for your children and perfectly baked sourdough bread while carrying out your own job in unfamiliar surroundings with less than perfect tools and resources with a partner who's not usually under your feet. Do you feel guilty about losing your cool or nagging your kids or your other half? Do you feel guilty about how much time you can give to your children? Or how much time you're allocating to your work? Do you feel guilty for complaining when you're still well and you haven't lost your job? Caroline Ferguson is the perfect person to be speaking to in these conditions. She is a mindset trainer, speaker, coach and cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist who works with people to bring out their potential. She's worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs and executives, teaching them how to embrace their own promise and ditch self-sabotage habits like thinking small, procrastination and imposter syndrome. Melissa credits her with getting rid of the negative self-beliefs she needed to write her book ‘Real Parenting for Real Kids'. It had been gestating for six years but Caroline helped Melissa have the mindset shift which helped it to come into the world!  Caroline also delivers mindset talks and training to organisations, helping employees create a growth mindset and build the number one life skill of self-awareness Listen to this episode with Caroline if you want to learn: Why some people beat themselves up and others don't when faced with similar circumstances; tip: how it's not the circumstances themselves but the beliefs we have about them that cause the feelings we have How unconscious beliefs like ‘I shouldn't have to disrupt my child's life…' or ‘I should be able to keep my child safe…' or ‘I should be able to attend to my child's need for attention…' are demands of ourselves or of the world which cause us to think ‘or else….I am a bad person/not good enough' which cause feelings of guilt or shame or anxiety or anger or hurt How essential it is to challenge those beliefs by really tuning into them and becoming self-aware when we are out of equilibrium How many thousands of thoughts a day we have! How while we can't change the circumstances we can change the way we think about them Why relentless positivity is not necessarily the best course. (What a breath of fresh air this pragmatic approach is!) How to rewrite the stories we tell ourselves that are causing us discomfort A structure that helps that rewriting of the ‘shoulds' which helps dial down the emotion or change it to a feeling that you can manage How the big difficult emotions prevent us from accessing our adult pre-frontal cortex and our creative solution-focused brain and we get stuck in the feelings and once we deal with our feelings we are able to access our skills and resourcefulness (See our workshop on How to be a Calmer Parent) How setting boundaries and safeguards for ourselves will be part of the solution and encourage children to discuss their own boundaries About the Three Empowering Questions to ask when you feel stuck in challenging feelings to put you back in charge What am I demanding that is causing me to feel like this? What would be a good outcome in this situation? What can I do to make that good outcome happen? And as usual we finish with our SUMs. It's important, now more than ever, to not let anxiety drown out joy. To help us be grateful for the small things in life we are celebrating some Surprising Uplifting Moments, some good things coming out of this crisis.

On l'appelle Unstoppable Woman ! Pour cet épisode j’ai eu une conversation avec une française qui vit à Londres et qui a un caractère en acier trempé. La vie ne l’a pas du tout orienté vers le cyclisme. Originaire de Marseille , elle est une élève brillante, très brillante même. Alors qu’elle s’orientait vers HEC, sa grande soeur l’inscrit sans lui dire à Science po et ça marche, puisque elle est accepté, collectionne les mentions jusqu’à passer sa 3ème année à Harvard, la prestigieuse école.

TITLE   The Five Superpowers of the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) & High Sensation Seeking (HSS)   GUEST   Caroline Ferguson   EPISODE OVERVIEW   Caroline Ferguson, whose Tedx talk is titled Unlocking the Secret Power of Sensitivity at Work, says burnout in the workplace is likely to be 2x higher for HSPs. She talks about the importance of curiosity, creativity and compassion and how this relates to High Sensation Seeking (HSS). Carolyn talks about the many specific strengths of HSPs, but also talks about optimal career choices that meet the need for novelty and intensity. If you have a low threshold for boredom and like new exciting things, you may be an HSS.   HIGHLIGHTS The 5 superpowers Ability to notice—highly tuned in/ability to process at great depth Rich creative imagination—daydreamers, creatives, solution providers Highly conscientious—connected/concerns about others with a little bit of perfectionism Empathy—noticing, observing, don’t want to let others down, get the job done properly Intuition—noticing and spotting patterns at a level of detail, body language, tone of voice Caroline’s superpowers—brainstorming, the use of words, language and stories Caroline likes the terms Highly Responsive and Finely-Tuned to describe a Highly Sensitive Person We need to learn to honor our feelings We may have a tendency to cry and have tender feelings Burnout in the workplace is likely to be 2x greater for HSPs compared to non-HSPs High Sensation Seeking (HSS)—30% of HSPs are also HSS, which is about 6-7% of the population Sensitive Upstarts—don’t wait for permission and they create change Someone who is curious, seeking and creates change It is an evolutionary imperative They have curiosity and compassion Great jobs are project manager or life coach Curiosity is innate and hardwired to be fascinated by life around us We have been told curiosity killed the cat, or that we’re nosy, and we’ve had the curiosity beaten out of us Curiosity is an amazing skill and it’s the opposite of judgment—we’re open; we want to know Curiosity increases compassion and acceptance With High Sensation Seeking (HSS), we are involved in certain things, then we stop and we move on to the next thing We can design a life, career and relationships that have novelty, and intensity and variety With High Sensation Seeking, we have a part that wants to dial down and a part that’s seeking stimulation Creativity and curiosity are part of being a HSS HSS have a deep fascinations, passions and want to absorb everything HSS have a low boredom threshold, and want to get on to the next new, exciting and varied thing that comes up   GUEST BIO   Caroline Ferguson is a Mindset Trainer, cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist and the original 'Sensitive Upstart'. She loves showing sensitive, purposeful leaders who KNOW they were born for something more how to overcome their inner resistance, embody their potential and skyrocket their impact.   PODCAST HOST   Patricia Young works with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) helping them in understanding their HSP traits, and turning their perceived shortcomings into superpowers. Patricia is passionate about providing education to help HSPs and non-HSPs understand and truly appreciate the amazing gifts they have to offer. Patricia works globally online with HSPs providing coaching. Patricia also facilitates online courses for HSPs that focus on building community and developing skills (identifying your superpowers, boundaries, perfectionism, dealing with conflict, mindfulness, embracing emotions, creating a lifestyle that supports the HSP, communication and more).   LINKS   Caroline’s Links:   www.CarolineFerguson.com Unlocking the Secret Power of Sensitivity at Work | Caroline Ferguson | TEDxDrapanosWomen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWSqAgg7HOo   The gentle power of highly sensitive people | Elena Herdieckerhoff | TEDxIHEParis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi4JOlMSWjo   On "Inner Sensation Seeking" http://www.hsperson.com/pages/3May10.htm   The Handbook for Highly Sensitive People: How to Transform Feeling Overwhelmed and Frazzled to Empowered and Fulfilled by Mel Collins   Patricia’s Links:   San Diego Meetup Saturday September 7, 2019 10 am – noon.

Review: The Privatisation of Ward 9B

The Privatisation of Ward 9B follows a desperate psychiatrist, Doctor Craven (played by David McCrae) in his efforts to supplement diminishing public funding by dragging his patients into the merciless world of economic enterprise. Written in 1991 at a time when the Hawke-Keating government was privatising public services such as airports, airlines, telecommunications and banks, Bill Marshall’s social message still rings clear - we bring an emphasis on profit making and cost cutting into the provision of public services at the peril of those most vulnerable in society. As I was born in the year it was written, I’ve only ever known these services to be private, and wonder if the setting had a more meaningful impact on the audience’s members from an older generation. Walking into the intimate black box theatre at La Mama, a nurse seated in the corner of the stage judged our every movements. It was as if we had entered a psychiatric ward as patients instead of a theatre as audience members, foreshadowing the audience's active role as characters in the story that unfolded. We were addressed as potential investors, which questioned the morality of our role as observers of a stage performance as a parallel to those people detained on behalf of society at large. Theatre norms were smashed from the beginning when the theatre manager gave his Welcome to Country and phones off announcement after the play had seemingly begun. With the actors on stage with him, they guided the audience members to a medicine cup with a “pill” under each of our chairs. I don't know what was in that pill but it was a roller coaster into crazy land from that moment forward. Mike, played by Marc Opitz, claims he is a sane visitor of the hospital, trapped in the ward and being treated like a patient. Much like Leonardo Dicaprio in Shutter Island, the audience is left wondering whether he is the only voice of reason, or profoundly self-deluded. The thematic relevance of this character in a wider sense opened the question; who should be given the power to decide what is sane and what is not? In Ward 9B, the audience is privy to Dr Craven’s abuse of authority to make these judgements, yet within the world of the play fails to see his corruption and wrongly rewards his manipulations. The farcical results are begging to be compared with our contemporary political and social landscapes. Mike’s sub-story, like all four of the patients in Ward 9B, I felt were not fully developed and could have been produced as separate plays altogether. With the patient’s back stories, their mild relationship developments and the overarching story all happening on stage simultaneously with no ascertainable rhyme or reason, the story line was at times difficult to follow. There were moments in which eight character were crowding the tiny stage with no obvious justification. Physically and psychologically it was utterly chaotic. Trapped in the small theatre for 80 minutes, as an audience member I began to feel what the patients in that ward might be experiencing such as agitation, relentlessness and disorientation. A special mention to Matthew Richard Walsh who plays Max, a creepy, depraved patient, whose acting was nuanced and consistent Caroline Ferguson who plays the vain Nurse Wrench (perhaps a nod to and a less malevolent version of Ken Kesey’s Nurse Ratched) has a beautifully resonant voice which filled up the space both when she was speaking, and when she treated us to a strange and random cabaret performance. I thought the acting of the cast as a whole was a little disconnected disconnected at times where lines or physical responses were anticipated, although this could have been a directorial choice by Mark E Lawrence to set up a hyper realistic, melodramatic tone. The synopsis promises an interesting explanation into a controversial matter, but I found that the scriptwriting, direction and acting all tried to cover too much ground, which meant sacrificing a clear message, and losing important themes along the way. The Privatisation of Ward 9B is showing at La Mama theatre in Carlton until the 19th of February. Written by Scarlett KoehneSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
