A go-go global news cycle lays so much at our feet. Some of it is harrowing.聽In Gaza there is not enough to eat. Our reporter there since the start of the current phase of the conflict in October 2023, Ghada Abdulfattah is living the story she is covering. We hear from her today.
In one of his two stories today, Stephen Humphries explores the new work by renowned singer Patty Griffin. I asked Stephen about any telling outtakes from their conversation. He said they had discussed 鈥淗eavenly Day,鈥� a track with more than 21 million Spotify listens that appears on her Grammy-winning 2007 album 鈥淐hildren Running Through.鈥� Why, Stephen asked her, has it earned that kind of reach?
It鈥檚 about love, she told Stephen. And about a bedrock belief. 鈥淚 can鈥檛 survive without hoping,鈥� she told him, 鈥渁nd [knowing] things can improve when they need to improve.鈥�
