Introducing 'The Diplomats' — telling stories of the people power behind the scenes
from The Radio National Hour · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation
We have a brand new segment called 'The Diplomats', turning the spotlight on the peacemakers in our world: the people working, mostly out of sight and under real pressure, to ease the globe's sharpest tensions. Our first guest is Lachlan Strahan, who’s 30 year career in the foreign service took him to North Korea at the height of its nuclear enrichment stand-off. The mea culpa and pleas for unity from the FIFA boss Gianni Infantino have failed to placate powerful football associations, like Uefa which is still threatening to boycott the next World Cup, But would Infantino’s resignation really fix the world’s most political sports governing body? Lorin Parys is the CEO of the Belgian Pro League of football.Australia’s first orchestral performance for deaf people. It's called Across Silence, a multi-sensory experience that treats Auslan not as translation but as an art form in its own right.
