  • BBC Radio 4 From Our Own Correspondent: The Nubian Protests
    On the Sudanese border, old Nubia lies submerged under the largest man-made lake in the world, Lake Nasser. More than 100,000 displaced people have been moved to an area 300 kilometres away, but they're starting to fight back, taking to the streets to call for their right to return.
    I went to old Nubia to spend a few days with a family living around the lake and to new Nubia to meet activists organising the protests. Absolutely loved gathering, writing and voicing this story.

  • BBC Radio 4 From Our Home Correspondent: Syrian refugees in Glasgow
    More Syrian refugees have arrived in Glasgow than any other city in the UK. But Glasgow faces it's own problem of wide-spread homelessness, with more than 500 people sleeping rough each night.
    I met Ali, a new arrival who has been housed on the 19th floor of a high-rise tenement block. On the other side of the city, Brian, a local, has been sleeping in the same doorway for over 8 years as he waits for social housing.
    Here's my dispatch on the tensions that exist between the two men, both struggling to find their way home.

  • BBC World Service 'Newshour': The Nubian protests
    Since the damming of the Nile, more than 250,000 have been forced to leave their original homeland and move 300 kilometres north to an area called Kom Ombo.
    Aware that they are becoming disconnected from their roots, young people are now taking to the streets to call for their right to return.
    I went to meet some of the protest organisers in Kom Ombo and Abu Simbel on the Sudanese border.

  • BBC World Service News: Drugged and raped in the field
    In an emergency setting, aid workers and journalists are prepared for a high level of risk, but until recently, the extent to which they experience sexual assault had not been fully recognised.
    I travelled to Geneva to meet Megan Nobert and to speak to the UN to find out how they are seeking to address this issue.

  • BBC World Update: Interview with Megan Nobert, Geneva
    Before a field posting begins, aid workers are prepared for a high level of risk. But now the threat comes from within their own ranks, with reports that international staff are being drugged and raped by their colleagues.
    I travelled to Geneva to meet Megan Nobert, Founder and Director of Report the Abuse and sexual violence survivor. Here is the interview that ran across BBC World Service and Radio 4 programmes.

    This story ran on 'Newshour', 'Weekend' and was the BBC World Service's Story of the Day on the 'Global Update' podcast. Here's the live version.
    The Nubians of southern Egypt have been gradually oppressed by successive Islamic governments. Now their language and culture faces extinction.
    I went to meet some of the musicians and poets struggling against the state to keep their language alive through song.

  • BBC World Service: two-way on elephant conservation & honey
    There's a growing number of initiatives on smallholder farms in south-east Kenya that aim to prevent elephants from being poached. I met Enzoumou, a farmer who has created a beehive fence to ensure his crops aren't trampled on and protects the welfare of the wildlife in the National Park nearby.
    This two-way was with Alex Ritson for the World Business Report on the World Service. I had a bad cold.
