Her Story Made History RADIO 4, 9.00AM

Lyse Doucet talks to Filipino-american journalist Maria Ressa, who interviewed Rodrigo Duterte, president of the Philippines, in the Eighties, when he was starting his political career as the mayor of Davao City, and she was at the beginning of her media career. Over 30 years later, the pair are still crossing swords. Ressa is on a crusade to combat the “fake news” that she believes Duterte and others spread online – and she’s facing charges of fraud, tax evasion and cyber libel, in what her supporters believe are revenge prosecutions.

Kate Molleson presents a harpsichord extravaganza, as the Dunedin Consort is joined live by music director John Butt on harpsichord for a selection of Bach’s iconic work for keyboards, from the Queen’s Hall. Joining them are three other leading players – Richard Egarr, Diego Ares and Olga Pashchenko – performing Bach’s concertos for three and four harpsichords, alongside his Brandenburg Concerto No 5 and his Italian Concerto, which had one critic swooning: “It is to be regarded as a perfect model”.
