To coincide with #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek and for young people who've experienced conflict or being displaced #BBCDars has some advice to share (via @bbcworldservice) ⬇️ youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
It is three years since the Taliban retook Kabul. Soon girls over 11 were no longer able to get an education.
This film shares the story of how Dars - the BBC's education programme - was created to help children excluded from school: youtu.be/cZDhoxdkgcA?si=nTDP…
We're so proud that the wonderful @davidlowemusic2 also made the title music for #BBCDars - the World Service's education programme for Afghan children barred from school. He captured the tone of our programme perfectly. Check it out here: youtube.com/live/mig42m_eB_M…
25 years ago, I composed the @BBCNews Theme Tune, which is broadcast around the world everyday. From the precise beeps of time to the powerful bass and dramatic drums for the headlines. This how I did it…

A happy story + an appeal: Reunited last night at the British Library... The last time I saw @Shazia_Haya she was in a hotel in Paddington just a couple of weeks after fleeing Kabul in the tragic shambles that was the August 2021 US withdrawal and the Taliban takeover 1/x
Really proud to win this award, but especially to win with @bbc_perasso . Thank you to so many people, including @aaricciardelli for giving us his talent and @ClaireWNews for giving us time and support.
