housemate gregorian knows what it's like to reach her limit. i had from them so i mean when i went on stage i was totally not prepared i did i didn't have any single idea how to pick. just the lithuanian singer finds time between looking after her children doctor visits and rehearsals to meet up with me in her hometown of vilnius. in 2006 she co-founded the private initiative the vilnius city opera. it doesn't have its own venue its productions are hosted by the city's congress hall. because of the nice sr there are no dressing rooms and the stars do their own makeup but the performances are top notch. the ville new city opera is fostering a new generation of talent. we want and we meet young people and i think in those 12 years we did kind of big revolution in this country really about the young people. these days the ville new city opera attracts world class performers who also sing at the bolshoi in moscow and the met in new york. on the way home from a personal ozma gregorian tells me that she was almost destroyed by work i started with big

it says it has an idea, it says that carlos ghosn was smuggled in a musical instrument case of a gregorianch was playing in his home in japan. chanting band which was playing in his home injapan. they then got him onto the private jet and this whole plot, if you like, was orchestrated by private security contractors, some who are former special forces operatives. now that he is there, because of the lack of any sort of agreement between japan and because of the lack of any sort of agreement betweenjapan and lebanon, presumably he will stay put, does he? unless he decides to vanish again. but, yes, he is pretty safe here. carlos ghosn was born in brazil, his grandfather was lebanese and moved to brazil many years ago. he is very much seen as one of lebanon's success stories, despite the fact that he has gone through quite considerable legal and financial troubles. they have even put his face on a postage stamp peer. when he travels around town he has an escort from the cute —— from the security services. he is well plugged into the lebanese political elite, and that will give him a lot of p

there was even talk that he perhaps escaped in the instrument case of a gregorian choir?that was put together but fundamentally he is a very intelligent and, he had the most striking memory free data, for recall of facts and figures and then being able to regurgitate those. very driven, very hard—working and very high expectations. truly driving to bring costs down to the lowest level. very businesslike all the time. so i am sure out of anybody he had the capability to look at all the facts going on his side and all the facts that had been gathered and putting together the best plan for himself personally. you know injapan he will be seen as bringing justice or it's supposed to be the trial of the decade and do you think that will bother him as a man that he has this black market estimates see it again sam? man that he has this black market estimates see it again sam7m man that he has this black market estimates see it again sam? it is ha rd to estimates see it again sam? it is hard to say when you have this kind of thing happen automatically you have a black—market so to

as a catholic child i -- the gregorian chant and the whole cadences of that chant. but we never read the bible much. much. it was always done in the setting of music and also acted out. because we learn things are more with our bodies than with our minds. we learn more about human nature and the world through movement and gesture. i'm told people, if some of his talk and use a lot of gestures people will believe the gesture rather than the words. because the body doesn't lie so much. but i'm going to take three different things, and the first one is that scripture tells us what we must believe, that it gives us truth, that we must accept. it's a very odd idea. it came in rather late, roundabout the time of the protestant reformation. and you remember that it was said famously that a poor man armed with scripture can learn as much about the faith that any hope or bishop. give everybody the bible and they will be fine. well, that didn't work because as a reformer soon found, they couldn't agree with one another about what scripture said, even on absolutely fundamental

they believe he was smuggled out in a musical instrument box, of a gregorian charmed band who were performingforces operatives, former special forces operatives were instrumental in the escape plot. carlos ghosn is very highly regarded here in lebanon and was born in brazil, but has lebanese heritage and has great political links. some people in fact have even talked about him being a future lebanese president. he's even featured on a lebanese postage stamp, so is little likelihood that the lebanese will be handing him over any time soon although they say they are keen to maintain friendly relationships with japan which is a big financial donor. quentin somerville in beirut. a 10—year—old girl who was knocked down by an ambulance on an emergency call—out in nottingham has died. shaniqua loftman—smith was hit while walking in the bulwell area of the city three days before christmas. police are appealing for witnesses. an 0xford professor who was forced to retire at 69 was unfairly dismissed by the university, an employment tribunal has ruled. it found that paul ewart was discriminated against
