thatisit that is it from me for the time being. now, hardtalk. stephen sackur speaks to palliative care doctor and writer, rachel clarke. she asks us to consider a tough question can dying be life affirming? welcome to hardtalk. i m stephen sackur. we humans know that one day we will die. but as long as our end has no specific timetable attached, many of us choose to shelve the thought, avoid it. covid, which took such a grim toll in so many countries, challenged us to confront the reality of our mortality. but still, health care professionals say what they call death literacy is lacking. my guest is rachel clarke, a doctor who made a choice to work with the dying, and who s written about it too, from a personal and professional viewpoint. can death be life affirming? dr rachel clarke, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. now, you have had pretty much two decades of doctoring. how has that time changed the way you do the job? well, i think i was pretty naive when i started, in

most high speed trains are powered by electricity. at the bo ness and kinneil railway, engineers have also moved on from the past and into technologies of the future, where they are working towards cleaner rail travel. this is a little train that could be powered by hydrogen. the train itself is not new. instead, this is where old technology meets new and a test of where hydrogen power might be a viable option on our railways. the technology beneath my feet is relatively new for the railway but one of the interesting things about this project is that this train is actually quite old, built in 1979. it has been retrofitted to run on hydrogen. so, what was a class 314 headed for the scrapheap is now a class 614 hydrogen powered train. the hydrogen is stored in tanks underneath the carriages along with the hydrogen fuel cell which converts the hydrogen back to electricity which powers the train. all that is emitted is steam and water. the hydrogen needed to power the train is ma
