And hello there. Welcome. Peter Mansbridge here on a special rebroadcast, a special encore edition of The Bridge. And we go back to last November when we had a pretty special guest in the studio, well, in the Zoom studio, um, and that was Lyse Doucet, the chief international correspondent of the BBC, a Canadian by the way, and one of the great journalists out there covering our world. Uh, we hear Lyse every once in a while. I've known her for quite some time, and we have a enormous amount of respect for each other. So, uh, Lyse had big news just in the last little while. Her book that we talk about on this program, The Finest Hotel in Kabul, has won the 2026 Women's Prize for Non-Fiction. So congratulations to Lyse. And this is an opportunity if you didn't already know about the book, to learn a little more about it, because we're rebroadcasting our interview from last November. Enjoy.
