So they are smart, they are hmble and they are UAE national women!
Oh and did I mention they are teenagers?
We listened to three very tuned in UAE teens talk about being a woman in the UAE.
Culture, society, westernisation, cloths, fear...
We got inside the head of UAE teenage women for 2 hours...
What was your impression?
James Piecowye took over Nightline in October 2006 until it was canceled in June 2018. The cast and crew of Nightline decided to keep the show going and this is where James posts the notes.

lost art of writing a letter.
Have we lost the art?
Or has technology just made the art new again?
There is something to be said for holding that paper in your hand and knowing it was touched by another person.

There are a lot of HUMANITARIAN groups out there today asking for your help.
Take a second to look at MSF.
I think what they do is moving.
Listen to a podcast.
Look at the images.
Now do something.

apology or not?
Last night we started with this idea.
Should Britain apologise for its role in the slave trade?
Tony Blair has expressed his "deep sorrow" at Britain's role in the slave trade but stopped short of offering a full apology, despite pressure from some black campaigners and community leaders.
The Prime Minister's condemnation, delivered in the run-up to the bicentenary of Britain's decision to abolish slavery, has reignited debate over judging history by modern moral standards.
Earlier this year, the Government announced that First World War soldiers shot for "cowardice" would be officially pardoned.
Do you think Britain should apologise for its role in the slave trade? Is it useful or futile to apply contemporary ethics to historical events?
If you agree that Britain should seek to make amends for the iniquities of the past, how far back should we look?
Some said yes any apology is a start.
The issue?
What you do once you say sorry!
