It was an embarrassing 30 minutes of television. One of the United States closest Allies, King Abdullah, sat quietly next to Donald Trump, refusing to agree with the President's ridiculously conceived plans for Gaza. Here is the King's post: “Rebuilding Gaza without displacing the Palestinians and addressing the dire humanitarian situation should be the priority for all,” he said. “Achieving just peace on the basis of the two-state solution is the way to ensure regional stability.” There are already over 2 million Palestinian refugees in Jordan, according to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, which says that most of them have citizenship. Jordan's Queen Rania and her family were Palestinian refugees who fled Kuwait. I Posted a video version of this podcast on my YouTube Channel.

In this episode of Style DNA I go on a style journey with Entrepreneur, Celebrity Influencer, Presenter and Media Personality …the exquisite Rosemin. I first met Rosemin when she hosted a dinner for me in Dubai in 2018 to promote my new collection…what was lovely is that pretty much every woman attending that dinner arrived wearing Wakeley, and it felt like the most generous endorsement of me as a designer. Rosemin grew up in Canada, her family emigrated there from East Africa in the 70's escaping Idi Amin's regime and effectively having to start over but exhibiting an incredible entrepreneurial work ethic to Rosemin and her brother. Her early passion for fashion took her to study fashion marketing at The London College of Fashion and then Rosemin cut her teeth in the fashion world working for Mr Ford, as in Tom Ford himself. Clearly the opportunity to work so closely with him was incredibly important to Rosemin, witnessing first hand how he approached his Creative Director role. Following her time at the Gucci Group she was head hunted to help launch Juicy Couture in the UK and Europe. Her honed eye meant that she approached celebrity seeding in a very targeted way, and it worked. Celebrities from Kate Moss, to Gwyneth Paltrow to Queen Rania of Jordan were all photographed wearing the newly expanded collection of Juicy… the sunglasses, the slip dresses and the trench coats. Rosemin recently remarried in Paris and we talk about her Faraz Manan wedding lenge (exquisite) and her Tamara Ralph gown (fairytale)..and why she chose these designers. We discuss the longevity of Chanel…what a brilliant job Stella McCartney is doing championing sustainability in fashion…her style icons…and the joy of wearing an Abaya … I hope you enjoy this episode …thank you Rosemin for being such an inspiring guest!

Yasmeen Altaji gives a round-up of today's headlines
Senior Human Rights Watch researcher Hiba Zayadin joins the podcast to discuss the mistreatment of children born to a Jordanian mother and a foreign father. Zayadin explains the reasons for the discrimination, including how it relates to the Palestinian question. She notes that these children are denied citizenship despite being born in the Hashemite Kingdom to a Jordanian parent and details how it impacts their employment opportunities. Finally, Zayadin addresses how Queen Rania attempted unsuccessfully to change this law some 20 years ago.
A terrorist on the FBI Most Wanted list is living freely as a popular celebrity in Jordan, which is refusing to extradite her despite an extradition treaty with the United States. Another of her American victims died last year. Also, most likely the fastest ever killing of a large number of Palestinians, including terrorists, was carried out by Jordan, not Israel. And the reason the West Bank has its name is that Jordan occupied it. All this, and so much more, was left out of a major news network's disastrous “interview” with Queen Rania. Today, in Part II of Josh's breakdown of this hypocritical “liefest,” the ways that journalists too often deprive you of not only facts, but also context. Plus, why an expression of opinion can be a crucial jumping off point to explore both. And what Hillary Clinton got right on The View.
When a listener asked Josh to look into Joy Reid's interview with Queen Rania of Jordan on MSNBC, he discovered the “Shawshank Redemption” of fact checking. Today, in Part I of a two-parter, how this interview shows the ways that blatant lies and hypocrisy are so prevalent in mainstream media, particularly when it comes to anything involving Israel. Hear about slain U.S. soldiers, ignored Israeli rape victims, backward narratives, erasure of history, and how the queen is using her position to gaslight the world. Also, how governments really responded to the October 7 massacres, support for “honor killings” in Jordan, and the media's efforts to fuel a “big lie” on the left.

In Russia this weekend, an election that's more of a rubber-stamp on Putin's eternal presidency. Any real opposition to him or his war in Ukraine has been brutally crushed - both inside and outside the country. Christiane speaks to John Sullivan - America's ambassador to Moscow under Presidents Trump and Biden. Meantime, with northern Gaza on the brink of famine, the first aid ship is arriving from Cyprus. And for the first time in weeks, a UN food convoy managed to reach Gaza city using a new military road. But experts say it's not nearly enough to stem the suffering. In a world exclusive interview, Queen Rania of Jordan tells Christiane how her country is helping get airdrops to starving people. Then, Christiane speaks to NASA administrator Bill Nelson just after the latest SpaceX rocket launch. It is a critical time for NASA. Its just had its budget cut. Its Artemis manned moon mission is behind schedule. And now China and Russia are talking about a nuclear power plant on the lunar surface. Nelson explains how the moon's untapped resources will help us get to Mars - plus its search for a new crop of wannabe Martians! From the Amanpour Archive this week: Christiane's report from 90s Haiti - and the country's unending cycle of violence and poverty - just before the US restored President Jean-Bertrand Aristide to power. And finally, in our Letter from London, it's the return of a smash hit play the Guardian calls "a moving meditation on Black masculinity and Black life in Britain." It's called “For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When the Hue gets too heavy." It's back in the West End after a sellout first run. That's where Christiane met playwright Ryan Calais Cameron.

“We have two ears, two eyes, and one mouth, and we should use them in that ratio” is a quote attributed to Greek philosopher Epictetus.On episode 26 of the B-side I speak to a man who epitomises that saying, in Simon Lister, an internationally recognised photographer and highly awarded audio engineer based in Sydney, Australia.Simon is the co-founder and executive creative director of Squeak E. Clean studios, a music and sound company with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Melbourne and Sydney. And is the global brand photographer and film director for UNICEF.We chat about his great passion for photography and how he's spent the last 13 years capturing breathtaking photographs and film of some of the most fascinating places on earth, like India, Morocco, Myanmar, PNG, and Thailand. Bangladesh, Mozambique, Tanzania, Laos, Mongolia, Mexico, Kyrgyzstan, and Ethiopia, to name a few. And doing it on his motorbike, so he can go off the beaten track to access areas, experiences and cultures not often seen by travellers.He discusses the work he's done for UNICEF as the global brand photographer and as the director of their international brand campaign launch commercial. Which features the voices of Liam Neeson, Shakira, and Queen Rania of Jordan.Simon talks about how this powerfully emotive work for UNICEF led to being featured in the Netflix and Canon documentary series ‘Tales by Light'. Where he shares the stories of child workers in Bangladesh and Bolivia, living in some of the worlds harshest environments.Then we switch gears to jam on sound design, commercial music and the importance of sonic branding. And how marketers are missing a trick if they're not thinking about audio as an equally important tool for building brands and long term awareness.Simon is an incredibly humble yet inspiring guy. Quietly shaping the future of commercial audio whilst being committed to creating awareness of the horrendous living conditions affecting the world's most underrepresented communities.By listening, looking deep into people's eyes and sharing their stories, he's helping to make a global impact and change their lives for the better.I thoroughly enjoyed this chat, and I know you will too.

Annoushka reveals all - describing how she built her brand, after founding Links of London, and sustained a harmonious working partnership with her husband, John Ayton. She also offers up tips including how to mix metals and maximize an investment on fine jewelry by making it integral to an everyday look.

The research is clear—the brain’s obsessed with safety and survival. What’s most interesting is our brains are more concerned with what we do rather than who we are . . . but what does it all mean? Listen in as brain coach, James Garrett, shares more revelations and insight from his wealth of experience and travel. James is the Founder and CEO of Brain by Design. As a brain hacker, he has spoken on stages ranging from Harvard to TEDx and his work has been featured in The New York Times, FastCompany, Harvard Business Review, as well as many others. James spent years doing research with some of the best psychologists in the world at Columbia as well as Yale. He's a content creator at Course Builder; his course on the science of coaching has been rated one of the best courses for coaches and is currently certified by the International Coach Federation for continuing coach education credits. James also built one of the only brain-based positive psychology curriculum in the Middle East and trained thousands of Arab youth in partnership with Queen Rania of Jordan. Discover what’s possible with a little brain hacking and an enlightening introduction to neuroplasticity. Kay takeaways: Brain recognition. Ever meet someone new and you’re instantly convinced of who they are? In 10 minutes you’ve stereotyped their personality and, turns out, there’s science behind it all. Change your initial behavior and unlock major opportunities by knowing THIS . . . [09:51]. Brain focus. Bringing on little change is doable, step by step, but what about shifting master habits? The BIG changes you seek and deeply care about? The best research says to try this ONE thing to get you going . . . [18:20]. Brain tricks. You have bad habits. You have good habits. For James, he has a habit of craving chocolate at 10 PM nightly. Whether it’s a good/bad thing, your brain doesn’t care as long as what you do is routine. HERE’s why and how to make changes . . . [26:03] Brain breakdown. So many of us are living in a state of being overworked and overstressed. The symptoms include irritability, inability to focus, and constant need for distraction—sound familiar? The WHY behind how it starts and the reason to slam on the brakes . . . [35:57]. Tune in and turn the volume up for a dose of inspiration and life lessons. You're never more than One Idea Away from a whole, new reality. Thank you to our partners at iPEC Coaching!

James Garrett is a brainhacker and founder of Brain by Design. He’s spoken on stages ranging from Harvard to TEDx and his work has been featured by The New York Times, FastCompany, and Harvard Business Review. He spent years doing research with some of the best psychologists in the world at Columbia, Tufts, and Yale. He built one of the only brain-based positive psychology curricula in the Middle East and trained thousands of Arab youth in partnership with Queen Rania of Jordan. A rare combination of scientist, trainer, and entrepreneur, in 2019 James launched the Deep Change Project, a year-long personal journey to discover what’s possible at the outer edges of brainhacking and neuroplasticity. In today’s conversation with us, James explains how the brain works and the capacity to which we can redesign our brain. We explore the way peak athletes train, rest, and the difference between gold medalists and those who do not place on the podium. James also shares some of his personal discoveries over the past several months during his Deep Change Project; including how he has been able to avoid goal-drift, increase focus, connection, and experience greater joy. Self-directed neuroplasticity is like the meta skill set of the future. If you can get good at rewiring your brain, you can get good at anything. Listen as James Garrett explains how. Key Takeaways You have the capacity to be your own neural-architect. Brains change well into old age. Attention unlocks neuroplasticity. The difference between gold medalists and those who don’t place on the podium is not in how they train but in how they rest. Your brain can only focus for 90 minutes. You want to start managing energy instead of time. Habits take 66 days to form in your brain. The Deep Change Project involves habit stacking – developing 3 new habits every 2 months. Procrastination is an emotional problem – it’s an emotional resistance to a hard thing. Brains are energy scrooges. You need to negotiate with your brain that it’s worth the energy spend. One of the ways to do that is to shrink the size of the task you’re doing. Free Gift & Resources Master Your Habits Course (normally $200, receive for free) Text ‘brain’ to 44144.

Giambattista Valli is an extremely talented Italian designer, who was born in Rome and has now built up his own empire. A fashion empire, dedicated to creating romantic, feminine and beautiful clothing for women who want to look and feel special. Valli has done something that very few modern designers have been able to accomplish. He spent years honing his craft alongside great designers like Roberto Capucci and Emanuel Ungaro, before making the bold choice in 2005 (when most of his peers were becoming designers for big name fashion houses) to launch his own signature label. In fact, he reportedly famously passed on taking over at Valentino to start his own company. Which, as anyone in fashion will tell you, was a pretty ballsy move. Since then he has slowly and meticulously grown his brand. Supported by devoted gaggle of beautiful fashion plates, that have been affectionately called Valli Girl; that include Bianca Brandolini d’Adda, Charlotte Dellal, Lee Radziwill, Queen Rania of Jordan, Diane Kruger and Giovanna Englbert. He even had the backbone to take on the rarified air of haute couture, launching his line in 2011. He now counts more than 250 points of sales around the world in over 40 countries across the globe. Oh, and did I mention, beside building his own brand, Valli was behind the Moncler Gamme Rouge womenswear line, designing it for a decade. So the man knows how to multitask. He is also fiercely independent and, until this past year, rebuffed any offers from groups to bring the Valli brand into a luxury fold. But last year Valli teamed up with François Pinault and signed an agreement with Artémis, the French holding company of the Pinault family, which acquired a minority stake in the house. This means that the Valli brand is currently in the throes of some major expansion, as the designer plots out the future of his namesake label. One other thing you need to know about Valli, he loves beauty. He surrounds himself with it, hunts it out wherever he goes and uses it as a benchmark for everything he does. So it shouldn’t be surprising that instead of doing our interview in a sterile office setting he invited me to tea at his hotel, where - sitting by a pool and overlooking a glorious vista - we talked about his past, present the exciting future he sees for his house.
约旦,阿拉伯半岛西北的内陆国家。这里有着千年的历史,璀璨的文化,是一个君主立宪制国家。和欧洲的王室不同,约旦的国王拥有实权,总揽军政和外交大权。多年来,侯赛因国王在各国势力角逐的中东地区,不遗余力地扮演着温和外交和事佬的角色,也保障了约旦本国的稳定和发展。而在这一系列的外交斡旋和国家领导中,国王的身后,有一位美丽的女性,自始自终守护在他身边。她用自己的美丽、智慧、坚毅,让世界看到了阿拉伯女性不一样的一面。她,就是约旦王后拉尼娅Queen Rania of Jordan。拉尼娅是迄今为止登基时最年轻的王后,成为王后时不到29岁。登基后,她做慈善、重教育,敢于突破传统、打破旧习,被誉为“阿拉伯世界的第一王后”。慈善之外,她也是时尚界的宠儿,每次出场都光彩照人,优雅大方。今天,报妹就来说说,传奇王后拉尼娅的故事。拉尼娅1970年出生在科威特的医生家庭,父母是巴勒斯坦人。从小,拉尼娅一直在科威特当地的国际学校念书,英文十分流利。高中毕业后,成绩优异的她,考到了开罗的大学,一路顺风顺水,拿到了本科商学位。但拉尼娅所拥有的一切平静和美好,都在1991年那场海湾战争中,彻底被粉碎。这一年,科威特局势十分混乱,刚刚大学毕业的拉尼娅,收到父母的信件,希望她赶去约旦首都安曼和家人汇合。拉尼娅的家人,丢下了科威特一切,逃往安曼,总算捡回了一条命。本来在科威特时就是外来移民的拉尼娅,到了安曼,再次变成了难民的身份。战争的残酷印记,深深刻在了21岁年轻姑娘的心上。好在,拉尼娅的父母十分开明,一到约旦,就鼓励拉尼娅振作起来,出去工作,找回自己的价值和尊严。良好的教育背景,加上出色的个人能力,刚从别国逃难而来的拉尼娅,成功拿到了花旗银行的职位,没过多久,又跳槽到了苹果电脑公司,负责市场部的工作。 而拉尼娅和国王的相遇,也正是因为自己能够在外工作。一次机缘巧合下,拉尼娅被同事邀请,参加了国王妹妹举办的派对,在那场派对里,拉尼娅和国王相遇了。派对上,还没有成为国王的侯赛因王子,对拉尼娅一见钟情。两人相谈甚欢,王子被拉尼娅敢于抒发己见的自信深深吸引。有着相似国际教育背景的两人,聊的十分投机,没交往多久,就决定结婚。1993年,23岁的拉尼娅和31岁的侯赛因王子举行了盛大的婚礼。难民姑娘成了王子妃,拉尼娅和王子的相爱过程,就像一场梦幻的童话。和那些结婚后隐居深宫的阿拉伯王室女性不一样,拉尼娅从来都不甘心于做一个安静的花瓶,她一直知道,自己必须要做点什么。婚后第二年,拉尼娅的大儿子出生,没过多久,她就创立了自己的第一个基金会,用于改善约旦儿童生活条件和教育现状。从小在异国长大,经历过颠沛流离的拉尼娅,深知安定的生活和良好的教育有多么重要。正因为经历过这些挫折,她一直想为约旦本国的儿童教育,尤其是女孩儿的教育做点什么。因为文化和传统习俗等原因,约旦许多地区的女孩,从小到大都没有接受过教育。拉尼娅对此十分痛心,她开始积极地筹集善款,四处游说。她在演讲中反复强调,一个女人接受过教育,那她就会教育她的家庭;一个女孩儿接受过教育,无疑是教育了国家的未来。接受采访时她也说,什么对女孩最重要?不是漂亮的衣裳或是父辈的保护,最重要的应该是让她接受教育,这样她才能有自己的收入,能够有自信发声。但拉尼娅的勇敢发声,从一开始就被约旦国内的保守人士抨击。反对的人说,她根本没有资格对传统指指点点,还敢出来抛头露面。面对这样的争议,拉尼娅一点没怂,反而愈挫越勇,开始更加深入的推进改革。1999年,王子登基,拉尼娅正式成为了王后。这之后,除了教育,她将触角伸向了更加保守的领域。她主张废除阿拉伯世界的“荣誉谋杀”,推动立法禁止家庭的男士动用私刑,惩罚家里的女性。另一方面,拉尼娅王后也参与创建了儿童保护机构,亲自和专家探讨定义各种虐待儿童罪行的阿拉伯学术用语。她推动国家的教育改革,到处筹款完善学校设施;出席教育论坛,直言不讳地讲出国家对待女孩的不公,要求给予男孩和女孩一样的权利。她说:“教育不是奢侈品,它是生命线。”“它不是特权,而是优先权。”“所以教育不能等,也不该等。”这些被保守人士称为公然挑衅的言论,她一一回击:“我们就应该探讨这些没被说过的事,就应该放到台面上来,不能被扫到毯子底下。”而拉尼娅的丈夫侯赛因国王,从一开始,一直坚定地站在她身旁。夫妇俩一个对外,一个主内,让约旦在战乱频繁的阿拉伯世界,相对安稳地走过了二十多年。难民出身,一路在开明父母的庇护下接受良好教育,成为独挡一面的职场女性。嫁入王室,生育四个儿女,没有舍弃自我、安于现状,反而积极行动,为广大妇女儿童谋取福利。遭遇抨击,不卑不亢,直戳问题,勇敢发声。如今享誉世界的拉尼娅王后,凭着她的智慧、魄力与决心,为约旦和阿拉伯世界注入了一丝新时代女性的气息,注定在这个纷扰的世界,成为永恒的传奇。阿拉伯世界的第一王后,当之无愧。

NOW travels to Jordan to explore the implications of -- and possible solutions to -- having millions of young people out of work in the Middle East. Staggering unemployment rates among the region's massive youth population is fueling anger, frustration and resentment. To combat the problem, Jordan's Queen Rania has made job creation a top priority. "To me the Middle East is about young people. And if we fail to create opportunities for them then you're going to see a lot of frustrated hope," she tells NOW. Another initiative comes from an unlikely source: a Brooklyn, New York businessman who has set up programs across the region to give young people the real world skills they desperately need to gain employment. Both have their work cut out for them: nearly 70 million jobs are needed in the Middle East by the year 2020, according to the World Bank. Can these training programs help stem the tide or are they just a drop in the bucket?
