Nawal Al-Maghafi | Reporting Yemen's war, pleasure marriages in Iraq & a stale glass of milk

This episode features the BBC's Special Correspondent, Nawal Al-Maghafi. Nawal has been one of the few journalists reporting the ongoing conflict in Yemen over the past few years. Her investigation into a 2015 attack on a Yemeni funeral — the deadliest of the conflict so far — provided key evidence in the case against weapons sales to Saudi Arabia by the US and UK and her recent documentary, Iraq’s Secret Sex Trade which aired on the BBC and PBS FRONTLINE won two Emmy awards in 2020.
