Coming up on Newshour BBC World Service - we have an interview with Борис Надеждин - just barred from the #Russia presidential election. 'We had 211,000 signatures'. The war in Ukraine is a 'fatal mistake'. I am not afraid - I hope to be in politics for 20 years more.

We have an interview with the magnificent Rushdi Abualouf on Newshour at 1450GMT BBC World Service -- about that decision to leave Gaza; about swearing his family will not return; but that he will: 'The 2.3 million people in Gaza -- somebody has to tell their story.'

One of the people I’m most grateful to have worked with: the brave, resourceful, generous ⁦Rushdi Abualouf⁩

'Happy' and 'heart-warming'. Words rarely heard about Iran these days. But Farnaz Fassihi gives her very personal reaction to Narges Mohammadi winning the #NobelPeacePrize2023
Hear her interview on Newshour BBC World Service

And I've got a long interview with Operation Dudula's leader - Zandile Dabula - on Newshour BBC World Service
What are her answers to the charges that her party's fanning xenophobia, incitement, and a strange nostalgia for life under apartheid?

I can't resist a 'Futile Act of Subversion'. But I'm a tad confused by the Ministry of Information in #Eritrea having a dig at The #Mossad for the riots in Tel Aviv.
