in private online groups, ifound an stood out.n private online groups, i found an outpouring of stories. i wanted to know about popular healers and sudan. healing is a business here too, but a very different one. hundreds of people come here every week to be cured in the open. like morocco, the business is unregulated. it in private healing sessions where women can be sexually exploited. once again, we had to carry out our own research to find out how common the abuse is. . 50 women we spoke to and sudan told us about a0 healers who had harassed, assaulted, raped or manipulated them into sex. two journalists agreed to go undercover for us. two journalists agreed to go undercoverfor us. they two journalists agreed to go undercover for us. they are hiding their identities for their safety. three women told us they were approached in this cafe and recommended they visit a healer. he said he would remain cast unless they had sex with him. our journalist calls ourjournalist calls him, posing as a client. he tells her, she must pay him

the belfast, ifound that girls, and that was how it started.d that the headquarters were in belfast castle above the river, you could see ships coming along the river and sometimes they would send ships that had been in the atlantic to be repaired in the hard dockyard. meanwhile, the wrens had the whole of the west coast, and particularly how the atlantic in a plot on the wall. and one day i was watching the ships coming from the castle. castle office, and i saw a ship, a destroyer coming in, hms 0ribi she was called, and she was involved in various battles in the atlantic and needed some repairs, so she had her repairs done in belfast. so the first opportunity, the first thing the wrens did on their arrival was to send a message to the ward room, asking us down to have a drink on board. they had their priorities obviously right. so half a dozen of us went down to have a drink on board and there i metjohn lamb, my future husband, and in ten days we decided to get married. the next morning they sailed off to join this convoy which was leaving ju

i was a shy girl, but after ifound this community, i feel it's totally different from my school or anythingy family, it's different. it's a completely new community, it's new me, so i can be myself however i want. that really changed my life, i think. i relate to that because when i got my long white cane out, i felt really self—conscious and nervous. not dressing like other people makes you feel like, "yeah, i'm me, i'm individual. yeah. i became blind at age 17 due to a really rare genetic condition. you want to just live the sighted life that you had, and every day, every thing, every task that you go to do, is a reminder that you can't do it any more. and that, for me, mentally, was a massive struggle when i went blind. i'm heading to saitama about an hour away from tokyo. i'm off to see ryusei. he is a blind skateboarder and he has not let his blindness define him. i'm just really excited to understand why he skateboards and how he does it, because it's really scary in my mind! ryusei holds two world records for performing skateboard tricks without eyesight. how long have you been a bl

. - while the film has had mixed reviews from international critics, ifound comandante deeply moving,d by the central performance from pierfrancesco favino, playing a truly extraordinary italian. as mentioned, venice is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year. hollywood stars may have been a little thin on the ground but for me, venice is always truly a joy. i've been coming here for 20 years. emma jones has been meeting the a—listers in venice. look at her! i've also watched venice become hugely influential as a trendsetter in the oscars race. alan moloney now looks back at the history of the festival. few other cities in the world can provide a backdrop like venice. just askjames bond, indiana jones or, more recently, ethan hunt. travelling through this floating city is like moving through cinematic history. the venice film festival is obviously very special because it was the first one, and without the venice film festival, we wouldn't have cannes and toronto and all the other festivals that make up the festival circuit. it's had this incredibly exciting, very difficult, turbule

and luckily, ifound this place where they found the right solution. where they found the right solutionre is a reason that the repair cafe is run by volunteers. the labour cost of repairing these small items means that operations like this aren't usually commercially viable. this is an item of 20 euros. the phone is an item of 600—800 euros. but they're difficult to repair. they are difficult to repair, but they're... if you then spend 30 euros to open the unit, you can say, yeah, this is worth it, i want to keep my phone. for this unit, it's not worth it because it's more than the new one. so we have we're in this niche so we're in this niche where the professional shops cannot really help. but in the future, legislation could help make it easier and cheaper to fix our goods than it is to buy new ones. in march this year, the eu proposed a law that requires more products to be more easily repairable, even after their warranty has expired. and some european countries are already trying to encourage repair. france is leading the way quite a bit there. they have got this very interesting

as a leader, ifound you've got to put yourself out of your comfort zone.ll, probably in my late middle school, early high school, where ijust felt like i wanted to challenge myself. and i kind of felt like i wanted to do something different. and i decided to go do stage — theatre, drama, debates, elocution. and, believe me, that was hard! but putting myself out there, out of my comfort zone, really made me a different person. confidence. ability to prove to my own self that i can do something very different. and, you know, once i was out there, seeing how people reacted to what i was doing gave me a tremendous amount of accomplishment. and those things have shaped me in a fundamental way where i am today. and as a leader, i've drawn on many experiences in my life. but especially when i think of driving a transformation, taking a team with you, you really have to get out of your comfort zone — put yourself out there. actually, put the whole organisation out of its comfort zone and carry the people with you. and when you have life experiences that you can dr

i was working injapan last year and ifound years. the abuse were very brief and —— were very brave and talk to me. some of the abuse happened while boys were staying at kitagawa's home. i spoke to a victim for the bbc�*s this world programme. he shared his story for the first time. translation: johnny told me, "go and have a bath." - he filled up the bath and i thought, "isn't he kind?" but then he reached for my trousers. i said, "i'll take them off myself." but he replied with silence and that terrified me. later, several boys told me, "you have to put up with it or you won't succeed." really harrowing testimony there, but unsurprisingly, perhaps, a lot of the japanese press continue to turn a blind eye even when this film went out. it was only when there was a lot of chatter in the online space that woods picked up most of eventually, the un even made a statement about this and said they were sending a task force to japan to look at application in the workforce within the nsame industry, and it very recently, today, the ceo of the
