Recently I have posted a report on ‘From G8 to G20’ meeting on Global Health- Chatham House、London.
I also reported that NHK television crew joined us to cover this meeting.
The NHK made two sets of 30 minutes English programs ‘Asian Voices: Global Health’ based on interviews with the main participants of this meeting.
Dr. Shigeru Omi, former WHO member appears as a guest commentator in ‘Part 1’ and I appear in ‘Part 2’, both hosted by Ms Aiko Doden, who speaks very nice English.
This program will be broadcasted on Cable TV at overseas, but in Japan and elsewhere will appear On-line for several times.
Please check the Cable TV and On-line broadcast schedule （in Japanese） of ‘Part 1 and Part 2’.
‘Part 1’ comes in 6 series starting from 11:10 am, August 7th (Sat) through 7:10 am, August 8th (Sun).
‘Part 2’ consists of 5 series starting from 11:10 am, August 14th (Sat) through early morning; 5:10 am, August 15th (Sun).
I was actually a little nervous when the interview was done without any rehearsals so I imagine that there must be several places here and there that make me blush if I see the video clips (though I haven’t seen it, yet). But after all, in the Global age, what matters in “English is ‘the content’, ‘to speak’ and not in the least ‘pronunciation’”.
I invite you all to see this program.
