    Hajaj Hajaj was 79 when he rented out his house in south London, so his daughter, Kinda Jackson, urged him to use a reputable lettings agent for peace of mind. He hired a company called Imperial after being impressed by the professionalism of the agent, Shan Miah.

    When Hajaj Hajaj decided to rent out his house in south London in the summer of 2020, his daughter, Kinda Jackson, urged him to use a reputable lettings agent for peace of mind.

    想像を絶する悲劇に見舞われたあと、人はいかにして人生を再構築していくのだろうか? 故郷の村が過激派組織のISIS(自称「イスラム国」)に襲撃されてから10年、ノーベル賞受賞者でもある人権活動家のナディア・ムラドが、イラクの女性のために新設したセンター、アマル・クルーニーとの活動、悲劇を経てもなお、希望を抱いて生き続けるための未来予想図について語った。 イラク北部、シンジャールにあるコジョ村に住んでいたころ、ナディア・ムラドはビューティーの世界に魅せられた10代の少女だった。13歳のときには、きょうだいや母親と暮らす農場の羊小屋に「ビューティーサロン」を設け、友人や近所の人らを招いてはヘアスタイリングやメイクを施していたほどだ。「何度も学校から帰されていました。リップを塗っていたからです」と、彼女は笑みを浮かべながら振り返る。...

    I walk past Lauren Goodger’s house twice trying to get my bearings before I spot it: a gleaming Range Rover, with a personalised licence plate. It’s the only trace of reality TV stardom on the Romford cul-de-sac where Goodger, 37, lives with her three-year-old daughter, Larose.
