Archbishop Paul Gallagher: Diplomacy means talking to all sides

“Diplomacy is about talking to lots of people with whom you don't agree. And that's what diplomats do. And I think we would do that... The Vatican has always had very little difficulty, perhaps too little difficulty, in dealing with all sorts of political actors, all sorts regimes, all sorts of political systems.” Julie Etchingham speaks to Archbishop Paul Gallagher, the Holy See’s Secretary for Relations with States and International Organisations and one of the Catholic Church’s more senior diplomats. The 72 year old, who was born and brought up in Liverpool, was appointed to the post in 2014 by Pope Francis and is frequently referred to as the Vatican's foreign minister. Although a tiny city state, the Vatican has significant reach and influence on the world stage, being a permanent observer at the United Nations and having diplomatic relations with 184 countries. Its diplomats pursue a policy of ‘positive neutrality’ - supposedly an impartial moral authority which allows it to dialogue with all sides. With no signs of various geopolitical tensions subsiding, the Archbishop’s role in navigating these instabilities on behalf of the more than 1.4 billion Catholics around the world has arguably never been more important.

Juan Lavista Ferres

How can artificial intelligence help address global challenges - and how do we ensure its benefits reach everyone? In Episode 61 of Voices of Sustainability, host Anita Erskine sits down with Juan Lavista Ferres, Microsoft's Chief Data Scientist and Corporate Vice President to explore AI’s potential to advance sustainability and expand access to knowledge. From helping conservationists turn data into action to making AI accessible across languages and communities, the conversation examines how technology can support practical solutions to real-world challenges. It also explores how society can maximise AI’s benefits while managing its risks. Access to electricity, connectivity, devices and tools in people’s own languages is central to this effort, alongside the knowledge people need to use them. Watch the full episode for a conversation on putting AI to work for a sustainable, inclusive future.

Arundhati Roy, author and activist: Writing is universal

“When I was writing it I didn’t think it would touch such a universal chord, you know, because it seemed to me so weird, my childhood and my mother and my life, it was, but of course, everybody has something. And a lot of people I meet have said this to me and that it helped them see their parents as human beings and not just parents.” Ishadrita Lahiri speaks to acclaimed author and activist, Arundhati Roy. One of India’s most celebrated writers and outspoken political voices Roy rose to international fame in 1997 with her Booker Prize-winning debut novel The God of Small Things. Since then she has become as well known for political activism as for her fiction, challenging those in power and using her writing to engage with questions of inequality, nationalism and human rights. In her latest book, Mother Mary Comes to Me, Roy reflects on her complex relationship with her mother and the ways it shaped her life and work. We explore her literary journey, political convictions and what’s shaped her writing. The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.
