President Ebrahim Raisi & Commander ‘Sharkey’ Ward

Your History - A podcast by The Times - Tuesdays

Each week we explore two fascinating lives. Often they’ll be remarkable people whose achievements are universally celebrated. But sometimes, they’ll be people whose lives have other significance.  Today we hear two life stories: one about the Iranian president, Ebrahim Raisi who died, along with the Iranian foreign minister, in a helicopter crash. And we look back on the life of Commander ‘Sharkey’ Ward, a decorated British pilot who played a decisive role in the Falklands war.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
