Introduction: A perspective on child labour as slavery

The driving issue is the implications of the compulsory aspect of schooling given prevailing notions of ‘slavery’, and especially that definition which is well established in law on all planes from the international to the regional to the domestic.

How We Met: Jon Blair & Rageh Omaar

It felt intimate at a time I was feeling taken aback by all the post-Iraq attention I was getting.
Jon has a deadpan sense of humour and a sharp mind, while I'm more chaotic and like to live in the moment, like a correspondent doing a live report.
