Syrian radio stations are broadcasting a new kind of lullaby every evening to help traumatized children across the country fall asleep
Ghaliaa Chaker, a Syrian singer based in Dubai, wrote and recorded the lullaby in Arabic. The 24-year-old was used to writing songs, but never a lullaby. She says the subject pulled her in. “Writing a lullaby never crossed my mind. But the thing that influenced me was the topic. To be able to help Syrian kids and refugees,” Chaker told CNN. The initiative combines music therapy and clinical research from neuroscientists at New York University and Stanford University.
Syria’s civil war began in 2011, leaving thousands of Syrians exiled and displaced, and others lacking access to food and shelter. According to UNICEF, around 5 million children need help coping with the effects of war. This has been exacerbated by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit Syria and Turkey on February 6 which killed over 7,000 people in Syria.

CNN preaches patience as ratings tank during turnaroundCNN's leaders are preaching patience as viewers have been abandoning the network during its attempted turnaround. Cable news ratings in general were down in March compared to the same month last year, when Russia's invasion of Ukraine was fresh, but nowhere as much as at CNN. Nielsen says CNN's viewership during prime time was down 61%. CNN is hoping enough viewers stick around until new leader Chris Licht's vision of a non-partisan, entertaining prime-time lineup takes hold, although that probably won't be until the fall. A revamped daytime look will roll out over the next few weeks, and CNN is crossing its fingers that the slow-starting ‘CNN This Morning’ shows signs of a turnaround.
