I stormens öga hittar vi djurskötaren Abu Laith, en bilmekaniker som lärt sig allt han kan om djur genom National Geographics. I juli 2014 förändras staden för alltid. I djurparken kämpar Abu Laith mot unga och naiva krigare som aldrig tidigare sett ett lejon. Tillsammans med sina barn smyger han runt i de ockuperade delarna av staden och letar mat i soporna. Lejonens beskyddare är den gripande och sanna historien om evakueringen av Mosul zoo. Om människorna och djuren som gjorde sitt bästa för att överleva under de fruktansvärda år då Mosul belägrades av ISIS. Trots att staden förvandlades till ett helvete, så fanns det en plats där omtanke och medkänsla fick råda.

Louise Callaghan "Lejonens beskyddare : Den osannolika berättelsen om Mosul zoo" (2020)

We've got facts about sloths, sea turtles and rats that drive cars. We also discuss the new terms we've learned this week - 'soft ghosting' and 'gradualism' - and Harvey Weinstein's appearance at a showcase for emerging comics.Our author special today is with award-wining journalist and The Sunday Times Middle East correspondent, Louise Callaghan, who has written a tender, funny and impactful book, Father of Lions, about the zookeeper of Mosul who kept his animals alive through the ISIS occupation of 2014-2017. We discuss the nuances of radicalism, what the west is getting wrong with the dialogue around ISIS brides and the reality of working in a warzone. What is daily life like when you're on the frontline?
