Its a great pleasure to be in your presence, stephen. People in ukraine know who you are, they follow you, and they appreciate what you do. No, im thrilled to be here. It was extraordinary to visit ukraine almost a year ago, and i still think about it almost every day and follow whats going on in the news with puzzlement, hope, sometimes despair, and often bafflement. Wars are such complex machines, beasts, whatever we want to call them, arent they . And its very hard to understand them. And, you know, youre a journalist, you both have every right to visit and to be embedded amongst military and to, you know, describe the theatre and the Home Front and all the elements of war, but i was very worried whether i would come across as some kind of creepy tourist who was just kind of feasting on the unusual sight and ticking it off on a weird bucket list. That wasnt my intention, i was invited there, but im aware that its a sensitive area, isnt it . Oh, but you can see. I mean, vitaly, im su
Across as some kind of creepy tourist who was just kind of feasting on the unusual sight and ticking it off on a weird bucket list. That wasn t my intention, i was invited there, but i m aware that it s a sensitive area, isn t it? oh, but you can see. . .

Yeah, yeah. And that s why i went there. Olena zelenska, the first lady, she has, for a few years now, had these special conferences in which she invites other first ladies and, as they call them, first ladies and gentlemen. So the first ladies and gentlemen gather, and discuss things, and use what i suppose you might call the soft power of a presidential or prime ministerial spouse. Their connections and their ability to get things done
Reports on the story of historical forced adoptions, and the mothers search forjustice. A warning 7 there are some details in this programme that some viewers may find upsetting. I loved her so much, i still love her. Im her mum. It was to be a secret, it was not to be discussed. I was mourning for a child that i had lost. | i canjust remember lying there thinking. Better to die. A historical injustice is what happened to us. Other countries have recognised it, and its high time ours did. Everyone was saying, | if you love your baby, you will give him up. The undiluted joy of a new baby. The parental bond that forms after birth is a foundation of our human existence. But what if the mother was pressured, even coerced, into giving up her baby for adoption just because she was not married . I couldnt even imagine her, i think the heartbreak would just be, you would never recover. You couldnt, its impossible. The love is just immediate, isnt it . You couldnt recover from that ever. 60 yea
