jonathan shapiro, better known by the pen name zapiro, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. well, it s a great pleasure to meet you, and i want to begin with something you said a few years ago. you said, moral outrage is what drives a cartoonist. you ve been at this cartooning for pretty much four decades. can you maintain outrage for four decades? you can. laughter when i was doing five or six cartoons a week, i would sometimes wonder what the hell i m going to do today, and you wake up in the morning and the news itjust keeps coming. it would happen to cartoonists everywhere in the world because that s what drives all of us, i m sure. anyone who takes this craft, or this genre of communication seriously. but in a place like south africa, the news just hits you from every angle every day at an unbelievable rate. i wonder whether there s something personal about this outrage, which clearly developed quite young in you. you had a lot of trauma in your family, in your life cos y
his father said, no. you have to go and study at this religious school i and you have to be a good boy. so, a completely authoritarian . figure who shaped erdogan s life away from what erdogan had wanted to become. - erdogan s family were religious but modern turkey had largely been ruled by the secular elite. so, the young erdogan was made to feel like a second class citizen for his faith. he felt stigmatised i that he was studying at a religious school. so, i think at every- stage in his upbringing, as a teenager and in his earlyl years, in his 20s, erdogan felt profoundly othered in a society that was formally secularist, . and i think he has a grudge - against the system to this day. when he was growing up, i he was exposed to wealth and privilege, and he realised that people who had economic power. were also people who promoted the idea of a secular society. . they chant in turkish driven by this sense of injustice, erdogan joins the islamist national salvation party i

that the united states won t veto. the us says it wants to make sure israel still has control over goods moving into gaza, to ensure it doesn t fall into the wrong hands. 0ur united nations correspondent, nada tawfik, has the latest from new york. what i heard from one diplomat is that they ve made more progress today than they have all week and that they are narrowing the gaps. what we have received is the latest draft resolution and it is different in key aspects from the last proposal. instead of calling for a suspension of hostilities, the draft now calls for urgent steps to immediate allowance of safe and unhindered humanitarian access with creating conditions for a sustainable cessation of hostilities, so the wording there toned down from the original draft. the resolution on the table now also appoints a senior humanitarian and reconstruction co ordinator that will then appoint a un mechanism to try to speed up aid into gaza. so it is all quite a mouthful but these are
