BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, with Tony Kearney

The Pope's historic first visit to Iraq, International Women's Day and a year of Covid-19.

We talk to correspondent Bel Trew on the ground in Mosul, Iraq for the Pope's historic first visit to the country.

We hear from the Independent’s correspondent Bel Trew on the first ever visit from a Pope to Iraq. 

Looking ahead to International Women’s Day on Monday 8th March, we talk to author Annabelle Williams about her book Why Women Are Poorer Than Men and What We Can Do About It.  Then we reflect on the themes of International Women’s Day with Annabelle, plus Briana Pegado and Ruth Wishart. 

Work has begun on re-building the historic Notre-Dame in Paris. It’s going to cost billions of dollars; would the money be better spent caring for the poor, or does the spiritual value of the cathedral justify such a huge amount?  Tony talks to writer and journalist Agnes Poirier, and French religious affairs correspondent of The Tablet, Tom Heneghan.

It’s now a year since the first positive Covid test in Scotland and we’re rapidly approaching a year since lockdown began. Exploring how we might make sense of the anniversary is David Goodman and Agnes Poirier. 

And Professor Evelyn Telfer tells us why poet and author Maya Angelou inspires her.
