Refugees would always be welcome in my house, Tories fucking wouldn’t. No human is illegal. Refugees welcome.

Here’s the erudite Sebastian Junger - you may have read his book ‘The Perfect Storm’ which got made into a Hollywood film starring George Clooney. His own experiences on the frontlines - as a photojournalist - are just as dramatic and his wisdoms are inspiring.
The FINAL episode of Season One of #TheLineOfFire is out now! Listen as the incredible @sebastianjunger tells Ramita about his life-changing experiences, and what drew him to conflict reporting in the first place. Listen now: hyperurl.co/2aruw6
The second part of Guillermo’s conversation with Ramita Navai - so compelling, inc. dealing with Cartel head honchos. Warning: graphic descriptions.
This week on #TheLineOfFire, Ramita continues her conversation with award-winning Peruvian journalist and documentary maker @GuillermoGaldos. Listen as he explains how coming under attack in Colombia changed him forever... 🎧 hyperurl.co/vf4owy

Kate Bush has a well-earned number 1 single this week with 'Running Up That Hill'. Her previous number one, 'Wuthering Heights' was FORTY FOUR years ago.

We have failed #Bosnia repeatedly. If we now allow #Putin @MiloradDodikRS to have their way we will see another terrible, evil war like we did back in 1992-1995. Too many people died for nothing.
Pay attention to Bosnia. Vladimir Putin is having a meeting with Millard Dodik, who has threatened the secession in Bosnia. 1/2

The second part of Mais Al-Bayaa’s extraordinary life in journalism - unimaginable that she could be on a hit list!
‘I kept screaming “is anyone alive?” but I did not hear anyone.’ After surviving a targeted suicide bombing, Mais Al-Bayaa (@maisalbayaa) recounts how she discovered she was on a militia hit-list. #TheLineOfFire Listen now 🎧 hyperurl.co/hul05v

Very insightful convo with an amazing couple
Julia is 27, Eileen is 64, and they met on dating app @Tinder. In this week's episode of Later Dater, they discuss all the ways their relationship is wonderful, and the realities of Eileen getting older. 🎧 Listen now: hyperurl.co/qn7tgf
Latest episode out today - Sam was our first recording and I just knew this series would be important work and a fascinating insight for listeners… do find some time to listen.
🎙️Episode Six of #TheLineOfFire with @ramitanavai is now live. Listen here: hyperurl.co/8quvzn In this episode, listen as Sam Kiley (@kileycnn) talks about the horrors of covering the Rwandan genocide and relives the moment he and his team were kidnapped in Iraq.
On a day when we’ve lost one of our most valued colleagues am listening to @ramitanavai gently & intelligently dissect why journalists put themselves in the line of fire. The sacrifice made by #ShireenAbuAkleh was supposed to be daily, not ultimate. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…
