Abi Austen about transitioning and returning to her military career, plus Malawi country manager Pansi Katenga talks about humanitarian concerns and responses to them have shifted.

As part of Christian Aid Week, Ricky talks to Malawi Country Manager Pansi Katenga about the pressing humanitarian concerns and how our responses to them have shifted.

After a decorated military career Abi Austen left to begin her journey transitioning from male to female. Ricky hears about her life, and how her career has come full circle, returning to a role in the military but this time as a woman.

It's something we've all probably thought about: how would we feel if told we only had a few months to live? A new documentary 'A Time to Live' from Scottish film maker Sue Bourne hears from 12 people facing that prospect. It encapsulates honesty, positivity and the hard decisions faced, and Ricky is joined by Sue and one of the participants, Fiona.

What do a lawyer, a banker and a forester have in common? In this case three people who radically changed career in order to serve God. Ricky is joined by Church of Scotland minister Reverend Iain May; Episcopal curate Diana Hall, and Fr Roddy Johnston, a parish priest from Stornoway, to talk about the challenges they faced to leave established careers behind to enter the church.

Artist Stuart Duffin explores his new exhibition at Leith School of Art called 'Reason or Revelation' about the conflict in the Middle East and focussing on compassion and coexistence as the way forward.
