When Afghanistan fell to the Taliban, Kiwi reporter Charlotte Bellis made headlines around the world.
At the Taliban’s first press conference in Kabul it was Bellis, a blonde haired, blue eyed westerner who brazenly questioned the organisations leaders on women’s rights.
Fast forward to a year later, it was the Taliban that would offer her assistance when the New Zealand government wouldn’t let her into her own country.

KC Campbell's Distinguished Flying Cross w/Valor Citation reads:
Captain Kim N. Campbell distinguished herself by heroism while participating in aerial flight as an A/OA-10 fighter pilot, 75th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron, 332d Expeditionary Operations Group, 332d Air Expeditionary Wing at Ahmed Al Jabar Air Base, Kuwait on 7 April 2003. On that date, at North Baghdad Bridge, Iraq, flying as Yard 06, Captain Campbell's professional skill and airmanship directly contributed to the successful close air support of ground forces from the 3d Infantry Division and recovery of an A-10 with heavy battle damage. While ingressing her original target area, Captain Campbell was diverted to a troops-in-contact situation where enemy forces had positioned themselves within 400 meters of the advancing friendly forces and were successfully preventing the lead elements of the 3d Infantry Division from crossing the North Baghdad Bridge. Unable to eliminate the enemy without severe losses, the ground forward air controller had requested immediate close air support. After a quick situation update and target area study, Captain Campbell expertly employed 2.75 inch high explosive rockets on the enemy position that had been threatening the advancing forces, scoring a direct hit and silencing the opposition. During her recovery from the weapons delivery pass, a surface-to-air missile impacted the tail of Captain Campbell's aircraft. Immediately taking corrective action, she isolated the hydraulic systems and placed the A-10 into the manual reversion flight control mode of flight and prepared for the long and tenuous return flight to Kuwait. Captain Campbell's aviation prowess and coolness under pressure directly contributed to the successful completion of the critical mission and recovery of a valuable combat aircraft. The outstanding heroism and selfless devotion to duty displayed by Captain Campbell reflect great credit upon herself and the United States Air Force.

Bestselling author of A Belfast Child, John Chambers, joins Andy this week to tell his remarkable story growing up during the troubles in Northern Ireland. It's almost incredible to believe that this all happened only a few decades ago, but John's story is a powerful account of an era where violence, murders and knee capping were all too common. His journey from the Glencairn estate to London, and his ultimate search for his mother, is a harrowing tale but also one of hope and redemption and told with a Belfast wit and humour that belies the inevitable scars that it left.
