BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, With Richard Holloway

Barriers to social mobility with barrister Hashi Mohamed and war photographer David Pratt.

Hashi Mohamed shares his thoughts on barriers to social mobility, war photographer David Pratt reflects on his 40 year career and an all women around the world motor biking relay.

Richard talks to Hashi Mohamed, one of the UK’s top barristers, as well as a broadcaster and writer. Born to Somalian parents, Hashi came to the UK from Kenya as a nine-year old refugee after his father died. As well as being an inspirational memoir, his first book, “People Like Us: What it Takes to Make it in Modern Britain”, is a searching study of social mobility. 

Richard explores the incredible bravery of the so-called flying padres – the World War II army chaplains parachuted into enemy territory - with historian and author Dr Linda Parker. 

War photo journalist David Pratt talks about his forty year career which is documented in a new film. In  a very personal account,  “Pictures from Afghanistan" examines the appalling consequences of decades of conflict, and also reflects on the warmth and resilience of the people.

Richard gauges  the  devastating impact on those involved and on the wider L’Arche community following revelations that its founder, Jean Vanier, sexually abused women. He’s joined by  Rosa Murray and Luke Devlin, both of whom have had connections with L’Arche, which provides homes for vulnerable people around the world.  

A community of women motor-cyclists has just completed an epic year-long adventure. More than three and a half thousand women fastened their bike helmets, revved up, and joined forces to circumnavigate the globe, passing a baton from one country to the next. It was the brain child of Hayley Bell, who joins Richard along with Pakistani rider, Guliafshan Tariq, whose mother made her take up kick-boxing before allowing her to take to the road on her motorbike.
