    Bassem Youssef: Egypt's Jon Stewart on Palestine, the press and Piers Morgan

    Bassem Youssef: Egypt's Jon Stewart on Palestine, the press and Piers Morgan

    In 2011 Bassem Youssef was a little-known heart surgeon in Cairo. A year later, he was hosting his own political satire TV show, Al-Bernameg, drawing in 30 million weekly viewers as he made fun of the Egyptian regime. Bassem's comedy was groundbreaking but it proved too controversial to remain on air. In 2014 he was forced to move to United States, where he has since had to work to re-establish his career in a new language. Now, he's back in the news thanks to an explosive interview with Piers Morgan on the conflict in Gaza, which went viral.
    Tickets for his latest tour, The Middle Beast, are available at livenation.co.uk

    Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby: Finding my faith amidst hangovers, beatings and abuse

He found faith and the love of God as a student at Cambridge, bringing with it a sense of peace and security. He graduated and then spent 11 years working in the oil industry.
    From such unlikely beginnings, Justin Welby’s faith became his life. He was ordained a priest in 1993 and has been the Archbishop of Canterbury since 2013. He tells James about his struggles growing up with an alcoholic father and why he speaks out on political issues like the Rwanda Bill.
