Prominent Figures to Steer Flagship Program

Starting in May, the UK's 'Today' program will hand over the reins to a series of notable guest editors. These individuals will shape the program's content and bring fresh perspectives to the airwaves.

Among the guest editors are Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, the British-Iranian woman who was detained in Iran for six years; Björn Ulvaeus, the ABBA legend; and celebrity chef Jamie Oliver.
