BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, 07/10/2018

Two hours of music and conversation with a faith & ethical perspective with Ricky Ross. Taking the week's events to ask what they say about our values and beliefs.

Lord Paddy Ashdown joins Ricky to discuss his latest book about the German resistance during World War 2, as well his various careers from soldier to MP to leader of the Liberal Democrats. 

Political tensions between Russia and Ukraine have moved into the spiritual realm. Moscow based journalist Leonid Ragozin explains how the Ukraine’s branch of the Christian Orthodox religion is set to break away from Russia to become independent, and the political ramifications of such a move. 

A public service broadcaster with a responsibility to its audience - but who could have predicted the recent changes in the broadcasting and digital landscape? In a world where audiences can listen or watch whatever and whenever they like, is the idea of public service broadcasting still relevant?  Ricky is joined by Rachel Hamada, a journalist & one of the founders of The Ferret; Professor Jolyon Mitchell, Director of the Centre for Theology and Public Issues at the University of Edinburgh; and Mike Small, a writer and deputy editor of DeSmog UK. 

Next year the State of Alabama is 200 years old, and to mark Black History Month Andrea Baker returns to Tuscaloosa  to talk to three civil rights foot-soldiers caught up in a violent incident in 1964 which became known as Bloody Tuesday.   

How much are our lives ordered by the rules and regulations we follow? Do’s & Don’ts, by German theatre company Rimini Protokoll, is a production featuring the audience being driven round Paisley on a special lorry with side-on seating. Ricky finds out more from director Jorg Karrenbauer.
