Speaker 1: judge alone trials can be fairer to the accused and

Speaker 1: about our health.

20
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: Life comes at us fast, thoughts and ideas, hopes and worries.

21
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: It is all too easy to get caught up in

22
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: the whirlwind.

23
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,400

00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: seven year old British medico and TV presenter who devoted

25
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: his life to making other people feel better.

26
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 2: But deep with them, we do have the capacity to

27
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: achieve an inner piece that does not depend on the

28
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: outside world or on anyone else.

29
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: Deep Calm is one of Moseley's podcasts, part of a

30
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: suite of thoughtful, inspiring shows he made for the BBC

31
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: and other broadcasters including SBS Australia, synthesizing his medical training

32
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: and appetite for knowledge with a gift for simply communicating

33
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: big ideas about everything from diet to sleep. In that

34
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: podcast episode you heard, Mosley was explaining the latest research

35
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: on the science of how our brains process images of

36
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: the natural world to ease us stress.

37
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: This activates your body's relaxation response, slowing your heart rate,

38
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: lowering your blood pressure, and via the release of calming

39
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: neurotransmitters in the brain, lifting your mood.

40
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: Mosley was trusted and like that's why. Over the past

41
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: five days, the world has been gripped by the story

42
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: of Moseley's disappearance on a Greek island, Simmi, where he

43
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: was holidaying with his wife Claire, after he decided to

44
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: take a walk in nature.

45
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: Doctor Michael Moseley.

46
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 4: Doctor Michael Moseley Television for doctor Michael Moseley.

47
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 5: It's believed the body of doctor Michael Moseley has been found.

48
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: Oose of five days, an immense search of air, land

49
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: and sea took place. Emergency services, tourists and the island's

50
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: locals searched cliffs, the rocky shore, the ocean and the

51
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: bleak terrain above. But all along Moseley was right there,

52
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: just out of sight, about ten or fifteen meters from

53
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: the resort.

54
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 5: The body was found just behind me in this incredibly

55
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 5: steep and rocky terrain. It's close to the path where

56
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 5: he was thought to have taken to Agiamarina in Simi,

57
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 5: but it's not an actual route down to the beach.

58
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 5: It appears that he may have slipped over while making

59
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 5: his way down.

60
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: This is our colleague, journalist Ed Southgate of London's The Sun.

61
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 5: Just this morning at around ten thirty, I was doing

62
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 5: a piece to camera when an agitated barman alerted us

63
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 5: to something behind that fence by pointing up. He began

64
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 5: marching back to the restaurant area as we looked over

65
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 5: the wall and ourselves saw the body.

66
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: Just before this, other journalists wi the island's mayor in

67
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: a boat had seen something shining on the rocky slope

68
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: and had called the barman to alert him. The brightness

69
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: they'd seen turned out to be the sun glinting off

70
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: Michael Moseley's wristwatch. In his piece for The Sun, Ed wrote,

71
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: I froze. It was horrifying and incredibly overwhelming. I was

72
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: hit by an intense shock and sadness. I felt sick

73
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: and at several points I was on the verge of tears.

74
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 5: This horrific discovery comes five days after doctor Mosey when missing,

75
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 5: and huge questions are sure to follow over why search

76
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 5: teams took so long to get to him and why

77
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 5: he was ultimately found by a barman and then a journalist.

78
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: Here's the bomb and Ilias Savarus speaking to Ed, they.

79
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 3: Said to me, kay, go and check that place over there.

80
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 3: I was able to see him like really from paraway,

81
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: so I went close to make sure that is I

82
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: went close, I saw the body down there.

83
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 5: And after he saw the body, what happened?

84
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 3: Then I called immediately the guy who called me the

85
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: owner because he was with the coast guard. I said,

86
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 3: you know what I found the body, Come run run now.

87
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: The Greek island of Simi is in the South Egan,

88
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: part of the Dodecanese chain of islands close to Turkey.

89
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: Simi is mentioned by many of the giants of ancient history, fucidities,

90
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: Herodotus and Homer, who's twenty eight hundred year old epic

91
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: poem the Iliad describes a handsome king, Nereus of Simi,

92
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: setting sail with three ships to attack Troy, a city

93
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: far to the north in what's now Turkey, to recapture

94
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: Queen Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, who

95
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: had been captured by the Trojans. Simi's economy is built

96
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: on fishing and now tourism. Simi's big on destination weddings,

97
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: where couples can marry in the island's antique stone churches

98
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: or even the giant monastery of Saint Michael of Panometis,

99
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: and after the ceremony. The happy couples come to Argia

100
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: Marina for their receptions, and it's just here outside a

101
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: wire fence, steps from the bar where Moseley's body lay.

102
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, Mosley's wife, Claire Bailey Moseley, released a

103
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: statement in which she said how proud she was of

104
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: the couple's four adult children, who'd rushed the island to

105
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: join the search. She thanked locals, searches and the media.

106
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: He's doctor Claire Bailey Moseley's statement, as reported on Sky News.

107
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 4: Me, she says, I don't know quite where to begin

108
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 4: with this. It's devastating to have lost Michael, my wonderful, funny,

109
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 4: kind and brilliant husband. We had an incredibly lucky life together.

110
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 4: We loved each other very much and were so happy together.

111
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 4: We're taking comfort in the fact that he so very

112
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 4: nearly made it. He did an incredible climb, took the

113
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 4: wrong route and collapsed where he couldn't be easily seen

114
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 4: by the extensive search team.

115
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: She was with Michael Moseley at one thirty pm local

116
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: time on Wednesday, when he left the beach at Agios

117
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,679
Speaker 1: Nikolaus to walk back to Adia Marina, where they were staying.

118
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: About twenty minutes after leaving the beach, CCTV captured him

119
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: halfway to his destination, walking through the town of Petty,

120
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: striding out confidently, shaded by his umbrella. The rest of

121
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: the walk should have taken Moseley between ten minutes and

122
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: half an hour, but it seems he ended up doing

123
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: a much more arduous hike than he'd planned.

124
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 6: Well, we know that about just over a kilometer from

125
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 6: where he set off, he was seen at a cafe

126
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 6: or walking past a cafe, and that was the critical

127
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 6: juncture point.

128
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: Jacqueline Magnee is The Australian's europe correspondent.

129
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 6: He should have turned left to go back to his accommodation,

130
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 6: but instead he appears to have gone right and gone

131
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 6: up a very steep, rocky mountain side. Now we don't

132
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 6: know whether he got lost, whether that was intentional, or

133
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 6: whether he was confused, whether he was suffering he'd exhaustion

134
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 6: at that point, but he did walk past assistance. So

135
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 6: the thought is that if he was in any kind

136
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 6: of distress at that point, that he could have got help,

137
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 6: but he's chosen or has gone up this very rocky,

138
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 6: steep mountainside and then obviously has reached the top, maybe

139
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 6: looked at the view, and then has gone down the

140
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 6: other side to where this marina is.

141
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: He didn't have a mobile phone with him, and his

142
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: increasingly frantic wife raised the alarm that afternoon. Initial reports

143
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: from local police suggest Moseley died several days before he

144
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: was found on Sunday local time, and his backpack was

145
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: located several meters above him on the slope down to

146
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: the water. That's led to speculation he slipped, possibly after

147
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: a medical episode of some kind. Coming up Michael Moseley's

148
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:46,040

152
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: After qualifying as a doctor, Michael Mosley joined the BBC

153
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: in the mid eighties as a producer, determined to use

154
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: his medical knowledge to communicate with the world. But along

155
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: the way he made some confronting discoveries about his own

156
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: health that changed his life dramatically. In his early fifties,

157
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: Moseley was diagnosed with type two diabetes. He'd gained a

158
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: lot of weight around his mid section, and he had

159
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: a shocking realization he might be on the same path

160
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: as his father, who'd been overweight and had also suffered

161
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: type two diabetes. Moseley's father had heart failure and early

162
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: onset dementia and died at seventy four. Mosley took up

163
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: a Mediterranean diet, high protein, high end green veggies, and

164
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: lots of healthy fats like olive oil. He also experimented

165
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: with intimittent fasting, spending twelve or more hours out of

166
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: every twenty four eating nothing at all. For some people,

167
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Bat's skipping breakfast or skipping dinner. Mostly's podcast, Just One

168
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: Thing for the BBC focused on all the small things

169
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: we can do to feel and be better, like eating

170
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: dark chocolate.

171
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: I have a seriously sweet tooth, so much so that

172
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 2: I normally don't have any sugar retreats in the house

173
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: because I know I'll just eat them.

174
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 7: But today I am allowing myself just one thing that

175
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 7: should not only satisfy my cravings, but may even lure

176
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 7: my blood pressure, improve my cardiovascular health, and perhaps even

177
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 7: boost my brain. Working out, I've been doing HIT, high

178
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 7: intensity interval training that HIT may well be the single

179
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 7: best way to get the most benefit to oct of

180
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 7: excise in the shortest amount of.

181
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: Time and getting a better sleep.

182
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: He's only ten o'clock in the evening, but I'm already

183
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 2: beginning to wind down and get ready for bed.

184
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: Here's Jacqueline Magne.

185
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 6: Well, he was very popular because he was quirky and

186
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 6: he put himself out there. He used his own body

187
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 6: as experiments. So he did this one bizarre experiment where

188
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 6: he actually ingested tapeworms and had tapeworms in his body

189
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 6: for six weeks to see the impact on the body

190
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 6: that would have. Now that kind of shows how a

191
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 6: little bit bizarre, a little bit off field he was.

192
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 6: But he had a very engaging personality and he presented

193
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 6: his theories and experiments in a very factual, engaging way,

194
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 6: and so people loved him because he was just very personable.

195
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 6: He was a voice that was respected. So if doctor

196
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 6: Moseley suggested something, people actually took notice because he had

197
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 6: done these experiments on himself, because he'd come up with

198
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 6: these revolutionary ideas. He was somebody that people thought, oh, okay,

199
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 6: I'm going to listen to this, So his advice was

200
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 6: taken on board. Where people acted on it is another matter,

201
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 6: but it was something that he was genuinely very respected

202
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 6: for and well loved for.

203
