BBC World Service - Outlook, Lady in Red: The plasterer making violent homes beautiful

Naima Ben-Moussa overcame her difficult past repairing houses damaged by domestic abuse

British plasterer Naima Ben-Moussa repairs the homes of domestic violence survivors to help them rebuild their lives and process her own difficult past.

**This episode contains descriptions of sexual violence that may be upsetting**
Naima Ben-Moussa was inspired to become a plasterer by her foster father, an experience which helped her to process her traumatic past. Today, she repairs the houses of domestic violence survivors in the UK and runs a charity called Rebuilding Lives UK. She tells Emily Webb her story and why she's so passionate about bringing light into homes that have been damaged by abusers.

Dr Roberto Anfosso is a local celebrity in his Italian village. In February 2020, just before the pandemic, he told Outlook how he does his daily rounds on his horse Ambra. We caught up with Dr Anfosso recently and he told us that his horseback visits helped to reassure his patients during the lockdowns.

American underwater rescue worker Tom Crossmon tells us how he solved the mystery of a train wreck that was lying at the bottom of North America's biggest lake. This interview was first broadcast in September, 2016.
