Award-winning foreign correspondent Christina Lamb talks to Cathy Macdonald about her life in and out of some of the world's worst war zones.

Award-winning foreign correspondent Christina Lamb talks to Cathy about her life in and out of some of the world's worst war zones, and her writing collaboration with Nobel Peace Prize recipient Malala Yousafzai.

Reporter Cameron Buttle meets The Reverend Colin Macleod at the British military base in Kabul, who ministers to the men and women of the Royal Highland Fusiliers, 2nd Battalion, the Royal Regiment of Scotland, better known as '2 Scots'.

The Panama Papers story put into sharp focus the financial freedoms and decisions that some people in society have. But what about the rest of us who don't have millions to invest? Are we also guilty of overlooking things like cash-in-hand jobs that body swerve tax, while sitting in judgement of high earners?
Cathy is joined by Dr Eve Poole - author of Capitalism's Toxic Assumptions and Associate at Ashridge Business School, and Alison Phipps, Professor of Languages and Intercultural Studies at the University of Glasgow, and a member of the Iona Community.

Foreigner, migrant, refugee - what do these labels do to your sense of who you once were, and the dreams you had? Cathy looks at the idea of creating a new identity, with Tawona Sithole, a poet and storyteller who moved to Glasgow from Zimbabwe; Ghazi Hussein, a Palestinian poet who left Syria in 2000 seeking political asylum in the UK; and Alison Phipps, Co-Convener of Glasgow Refugee, Asylum and Migration Network.

主播大秀 series 'Paul O'Grady: The Sally Army and Me', shows the entertainer getting involved with the various projects the Salvation Army does across the UK. His mentor throughout the series is Captain Jo Moir, who tells Cathy about her experience of shining a light on the varied work of the organisation.
