Anna: The Woman Who Went to Fight ISIS, BBC2, 9.30pm
TWO years ago, Anna Campbell from Lewes in East Sussex travelled in secret to Syria. The 25-year-old was heading for Rojava, the Kurdish territory in the north of the country. In the midst of the civil war in Syria, a feminist democracy had been established, but soon came under threat from Daesh. Eight months after arriving and with no military background, Anna was on the front line intending to fight with Kurdish Women’s Protection Units (YPJ). She was killed a month later by a Turkish air strike. With the aid of her diary and videos filmed while she was there, this film, part of the This World strand, explores what motivated Anna to leave, and how her family are coping with the consequences.
The Restaurant that Makes Mistakes, C4, 9pm
FOUR-PART documentary following a daring experiment in which the UK’s first-ever restaurant staffed by people with dementia opens its doors. In the final episode, Michelin-starred chef Josh Eggleton is determined to keep pushing the volunteers and decides to completely transform the restaurant’s menu, and tests the limit of the volunteers ability to cope with change by taking them away from the comfort of the restaurant and setting them to work at an event for local employers. As the experiment draws to a close, dementia specialist Dr Zoe Wyrko explores whether there has been a measurable improvement with the volunteers.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
