This week: Trump's tariffs – madness or mastermind? ‘Shock tactics' is the headline of our cover article this week, as deputy editor Freddy Gray reflects on a week that has seen the US President upend the global economic order, with back and forth announcements on reciprocal and retaliatory tariffs. At the time of writing, a baseline 10% on imports stands – with higher tariffs remaining for China, Mexico and Canada. The initial announcement last week had led to the biggest global market decline since the start of the pandemic, and left countries scrambling to react, whether through negotiation or retaliation. China announced a second wave of retaliatory tariffs – to 84% – and Trump, while softening his stance towards other countries, appeared to lean in to a trade war with China by announcing a further hike to 125%. As Freddy writes, for Trump and his supporters ‘China is America's chief enemy.' ‘President Trump just took a massive punch at Xi, right in the chops,' said Steve Bannon. ‘The overlords of easy money, the sociopathic overlords that run Wall Street, the globalist corporatists and the apartheid state of Silicon Valley – all of them combined are the partners of the Chinese Communist party.' But, as Freddy asks in the magazine, is there method in the madness? Freddy joined the podcast to discuss alongside the financial journalist and Spectator contributor Michael Lynn. (1:35) Next: should cousin marriages be banned? Cousin marriage has been back in the news since the Conservative MP Richard Holden proposed banning the practice. Much of the debate has focused on the British Pakistani community where marriage between cousins is less taboo than other communities within the UK. But, as Iram Ramzan writes in the magazine this week, marriage between cousins has been legal in the UK stretching back to Henry VIII. The dictator Saddam Hussein, the musician Jerry Lee Lewis and even the father of evolution Charles Darwin are surprising examples of people who married their first cousins. Iram writes that it was to her horror that her family suggested she marry her second cousin. To what extent is the law the right recourse to deter cousin marriage? And what are the cultural, ethical, as well as genetic, considerations? Iram joined the podcast alongside Dominic Wilkinson, professor of medical ethics at the University of Oxford. (18:09) And finally: restaurant thefts are rising – why? The Spectator's food columnist Olivia Potts explores how restaurants are facing a rising problem of theft. Gordon Ramsay's latest restaurant suffered a £2,000 loss in one week for example. from theft. And, as many as 17 million Britons say they have stolen from a pub or restaurant. Why do they do it? And why is restaurant theft a particular problem now? Liv joined us to discuss further, alongside an anonymous contributor who agreed to share their own experience of stealing from restaurants. (29:57) Presented by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.

Join the conversation by letting us know what you think about the episode!This month's selection is The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid. Published in 2022, The Last White Man is the fifth novel by the British Pakistani novelist and consultant Mohsin Hamid. Written as an extended allegory, it tells the story of an unnamed town in an unnamed country whose white inhabitants have all begun to change skin color from pale to brown. The novel explores themes of race and whiteness as constructs, loss and mourning, and conspiracy theories. The Last White Man is a thought-provoking and, sometimes, uncomfortable read, but it's definitely worth your time. We couldn't find out exactly why this particular book was banned but there are several obvious reasons why book banners might be keen on banning it. Read the book before passing judgement. It's slightly more than 200 pages so it's a quick read, but it'll stay with you long after the final page. Mentioned in this episode:  Velshi Banned Book Club: 'The Last White Man' by Mohsin Hamid - YouTubeSupport the showBe part of the conversation by sharing your thoughts about this episode, what you may have learned, how the conversation affected you.

A torrent of posts from X owner Elon Musk has thrown an unexpected spotlight on the issue of historical grooming gangs in the last week.     In the early 2010s, dozens of men, the majority of British Pakistani origin, were convicted of crimes including rape, sex trafficking, and child sexual exploitation that had gone undetected for years. The true number of victims is still unknown.     On today's Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by our home editor Jason Farrell and Lucy Duckworth, from the Survivors Trust, herself a survivor of child abuse, to explain why the recommendations of numerous inquiries into the failings that allowed the abuse to go on for years have still not been implemented.   The Survivors Trust runs a free, confidential national helpline 7 days a week for survivors of rape or sexual abuse and violence aged 16+. You can call 0808 801 0818 or text 07860 022 956 for support.   Producer: Soila Apparicio  Editor: Philly Beaumont  

Richie is joined by Raja Miah MBE. Five years ago almost to the day, Raja Miah came on The Richie Allen Show with evidence that senior officials in the Labour controlled council in Oldham covered up child grooming by British-Pakistani gangs. Why? Raja said it was done to protect the party's Muslim vote in the town. It was bombshell stuff back then. He named names and paid a heavy price for it.Now Raja's claims have finally gone mainstream. Twitter boss Elon Musk has led condemnation of Labour Minister Jess Philips, after it was revealed she refused a request by Oldham Council, to open an inquiry into grooming in the town. Don't miss this show. https://x.com/recusant_rajahttps://www.redwallandtherabble.co.uk/

Winston Churchill is one of the most biographed figures in modern history, and held up as an orator and wartime strategist that turned the tide against Hitler and Nazi Germany.But how accurate is this image?

Interdisciplinary artist Osman Yousefzada crafts stories of working-class migration experiences, unwrapping the influence of his mother and many other textile makers in his diaspora community in Birmingham. From large-scale textile works to prints and drawings, Osman Yousefzada's practice considers representations and reimaginings of working class migration experience. Growing up in a British-Pakistani diaspora community in Birmingham in the 1980s, Yousefzada's craft is grounded in his childhood experiences, watching his mother, ‘a maker' of shalwar kameez and other textiles. A new exhibition at Charleston in Firle draws connections between these domestic, private spaces, the Bloomsbury group and fashion, and the artist's public practice. We look at a new series of works on paper, on public display for the first time, inspired by characters in the Falnama, a book of omens used by fortune tellers in Iran, India and Turkey during the 16th and 17th centuries. At the time, people seeking insight into the future would turn to a random page and interpret the text; Yousefzada transposes this to the present day, to tell stories of ‘good' and ‘bad' migrants, and recreate such talismans that protect or heal and work as guardians of the immigrant experience. The artist describes his large-scale textile series, Queer Feet, Afghan rugs, topped with ceramic works, and embroidered with found objects that reference Islamic and Asian design histories. We discuss his expanded, Sufistic, spiritual practice. We also consider the healing potential of museums, and the various media used by the artist in storytelling, with his book, The Go-Between (2022). Osman Yousefzada runs at Charleston in Firle until 14 April 2024.

He is a visiting fellow at Cambridge University, and Professor of Interdisciplinary Practice at the Birmingham School of Art. His first book, The Go-Between (2022), is published by Canongate. Alongside his solo exhibition at Charleston, he exhibits in group exhibitions including Embodiments of Memory at the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent and Design Museum's REBEL, and his Migrant Godx can be found at Claridge's Art Space, Blackpool's Grundy Art Gallery, and soon, Camden Art Centre, as part of Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2023. He will exhibit at the 60th Venice Biennale, and the V&A in London, in 2024. ART: ‘Queer Feet, Osman Yousefzada (2023)'. SOUNDS: ‘Home Grown - Osman Yousefzada x Selfridges'.

UK correspondent Matt Dathan joins Kathryn to talk about the Conservative Party conference that is being held in Manchester, where Prime Minister Rishi Sunak delivered an hour-long address outlining his plans for the Tories. He confirmed the HS2 link - high speed rail between Birmingham and Manchester would be ditched - saying it was due to huge costs and long delays. Meanwhile Home Secretary Suella Braverman's comments that UK child grooming gangs were "almost all British-Pakistani men" has been ruled misleading by the press regulator. She's continued to warn of a "hurricane" of mass migration - comments that will anger her colleagues.

In this week's podcast, food writer, author and award-winning entrepreneur Freda Shafi talks about her work raising awareness of menopause, and recording the experiences in the Pakistani community in West Yorkshire. Freda shares her own menopause story, and she and Dr Louise discuss key barriers women face accessing care, and ways to improve knowledge to empower women to advocate for themselves. ‘I'm a South Asian woman, I'm a Pakistani, I'm a British Pakistani woman, and I know I represent a certain demographic,' says Freda. ‘I feel as though I can reach many women through the fact that I am from the community. That may be platforms for women like myself who are able to cascade that information and let that reverberate across those communities.' Freda's top three tips:  Help represent your community to spread awareness of menopause symptoms, treatments and services and help tackle the stigma that still surrounds this area. Get a second opinion if you don't feel your healthcare professional has given you the right diagnosis. Explore the materials that are out there, including the balance app, so that you're informed when you see your doctor.  Boost training in the menopause for community leaders so that they can signpost women to local services that can help support them.

In today's episode I speak to the wonderful Imad Al Arnab of Imad's Syrian Kitchen. Imad has such an amazing story. He was a successful restaurateur in his home city of Damascus, Syria where he owned multiple restaurants, several juice bars and coffee shops. After they were all bombed and it became apparent he had to leave, he made the dangerous journey to the UK, where at first he worked in a car wash and as a car salesman. It didn't take long for him to go on to open his very successful restaurant in Central London - Imad's Syrian Kitchen.. He's now written a recipe book also called Imad's Syrian Kitchen - a love letter from Damascus to London, and is in the process of opening an even bigger restaurant still in Kingly Court off Carnaby Street.In the run up to interviewing Imad I read loads of articles about his story. In some he spoke about the 65 days he spent living in Calais, holding on to the underside of lorries trying to get to the UK. But most importantly I remember him talking about how cooking was always a part of his journey. How a British Pakistani volunteer had given him a small stove and gas canisters so he could cook for himself and 14 friends. How he didn't want to carry a knife and appear dangerous so he broke the vegetables up with his hands, and how a local Calais resident had been annoyed with them fishing close by, until one day Imad offered him some of the dish he had made with the fish, and from then on, he allowed Imad and his friends to charge their phones at his house. Imad is so instantly warm and likeable. We recorded this episode in the restaurant after having lunch there together. I didn't order, but before I knew it the table was covered in colourful, beautiful dishes. I remembered some of Imad's words from another article saying “In Syria we don't ask ‘what do you want to eat? We just serve lots of food and you can eat whatever you like, whenever you like. It's like family.”I LOVED Imad's positive outlook and came away from the conversation totally topped up and inspired… I'm so sure you will too…--To support the show: https://www.patreon.com/theworldwidetribeThis episode is brought to you by Skin + Me - a personalized skincare solution that has not only transformed my skin, but also my packing experience wherever I'm going.

“I like to break and remake things.” Calling himself-medium-agnostic, London-based British-Pakistani artist Shezad Dawood interweaves stories, realities and symbolism to create richly layered artworks, spanning painting, textiles, sculpture, film and digital media. The breadth of Dawood's output is quite astounding, and his ability to jump across an omniversal divide is worth the time spent listening to this alone. Dawood currently has a solo exhibition of ambitious new work entitled ‘Night in the Garden of Love' at Wiels art centre in Brussels. This new body of work is inspired in part by the music, writings and art of the late legendary jazz musician Yusef Lateef, who coined the term auto-physio-psychic music to describe music that comes from the mental, physical and spiritual self, and with whose work Dawood felt an intense connection. Ahead of this exhibition, Danielle visited Dawood at his studio in Hackney, East London, where he showed her his latest work and discussed his extensive vintage textiles collection; his collaboration with the British fashion designer Priya Ahluwalia; his thoughts on NFTs; and how he's working to support his passion for marine conservation through one of his manifold creative partnerships. 

If you want a sense of how the UK economy is fearing, and how to get into business, then James Caan is your man. The British-Pakistani entrepreneur went from no degree to starting a recruitment company to becoming one of the most respected and successful entrepreneurs in the UK and a government advisor. He was a former dragon on Dragons' Den and his latest recruitment company, Recruitment Entrepreneur has gone from strength to strength. So much so, that he's bringing it to New Zealand - and James Caan joined Mike Hosking. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The truth can't be racist, wrote British Home Secretary Suella Braverman in April of this year, as she peddled xenophobic and debunked tropes about South Asian men being a particular threat to British children. Braverman's comments come after nearly a decade of national hysteria about so-called Pakistani “grooming gangs” roaming around the country, sexually abusing white children while overly woke authorities watch on, helpless, too scared to act, lest they be called racist.Braverman, who herself is of South Asian (Indian) origin, made these comments in the far-right magazine The Spectator, an outlet that has published articles with titles such as “In Praise of the Wehrmacht” and "A fascist takeover of Greece? We should be so lucky." Nevertheless, her screed breathed new life into the relentless push to demonize British Muslims.Here to talk about “grooming gangs,” academic malpractice, pseudoscience, and the malfeasance of the ruling British Conservative Party is Dr. Ella Cockbain, an associate professor in the Department of Security and Crime Science at University College London. Cockbain has been at the heart of scrutinizing the dangerous media tropes presenting Muslims as a threat. She is the author of the article “Failing Victims, fuelling hate: challenging the Harms of the ‘Muslim grooming gangs' Narrative,” published in the academic journal Race & Class.Cockbain claims that Braverman is an “overtly racist” politician, noting her (false) comments that members of grooming gangs are “almost all British-Pakistani” and that their victims are “overwhelmingly white girls from disadvantaged or troubled backgrounds” have done much to undermine tolerance and coexistence in the United Kingdom.“These things are not facts,” Cockbain said; “actually, they [Braverman's claims] directly contradict the findings of her own department, the U.K. home office.” While Cockbain agrees that men of Pakistani origin have committed horrific crimes against children, so have people from all other racial, ethnic, religious and class backgrounds. Yet when other offenders – particularly white men – attack children, their race is never singled out as a causal factor. Thus, when Jimmy Saville, Rolf Harris, Prince Andrew or a host of other high-profile white abusers hit headlines, there is no campaign to demand all white men be put under high surveillance, and there are no far-right marches demanding payback for what whites have done to “our children.”Support the showThe MintPress podcast, “The Watchdog,” hosted by British-Iraqi hip hop artist Lowkey, closely examines organizations about which it is in the public interest to know – including intelligence, lobby and special interest groups influencing policies that infringe on free speech and target dissent. The Watchdog goes against the grain by casting a light on stories largely ignored by the mainstream, corporate media.Lowkey is a British-Iraqi hip-hop artist, academic and political campaigner. As a musician, he has collaborated with the Arctic Monkeys, Wretch 32, Immortal Technique and Akala. He is a patron of Stop The War Coalition, Palestine Solidarity Campaign, the Racial Justice Network and The Peace and Justice Project, founded by Jeremy Corbyn. He has spoken and performed on platforms from the Oxford Union to the Royal Albert Hall and Glastonbury. His latest album, Soundtrack To The Struggle 2, featured Noam Chomsky and Frankie Boyle and has been streamed millions of times.

In this week's 'News Roundtable' episode, host Chris Wright is joined by US and UK political commentator Edward Hardy, broadcaster Rosie Wright, co-founder of Momentum James Schneider, and regular i newspaper columnist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown.The conversation kicks off with a sobering analysis of Donald Trump's trial over innumerable indictments. The panel debate whether the considerable focus on these alleged crimes, such as sending hush money to Stormy Daniels, is giving him a platform and not addressing the much more serious crimes he has committed. Will the trial help or hinder him in his election run?We then return to British politics with the arrest of Peter Murrell, former SNP chief executive and husband of Nicola Sturgeon, and the wider issue of party financing. Then the panel discusses the delays at the port of Dover and the government's dishonesty saying that Brexit played no part. Likewise, Kemi Badenoch's claim that the Pacific trade deal will be transformative for Britain, whilst figures show the real gain will be only 0.08% growth in GDP. Finally, we tackle the government's approach to group-based child exploitation that racialises the issue as predominantly a British-Pakistani issue, which is factually… not true. As one panellist exclaims, “Can we just have better politicians who are honest about what's going on!” —------------------'I Hit The Nail Right On The Head' by Billy Bremner. © Fridens liljor/Micke Finell.Rock around the clock productions AB.www.rockaroundtheclock.coCreated & produced by Podcast Partners: www.podcastpartners.comSign up to receive updates by email when a new episode drops at www.wrightonthenail.FMThis podcast is published by New Thinking: www.newthinking.com Explore New Thinking podcasts via our website: www.newthinking.com/podcasts

Maajid Nawaz is a charismatic man with riveting perspectives. Although he describes a hero's path for us, I am uncertain about his story. He denies current establishment ties but has worked with many evil actors. Since I am not an expert on politics, international relations, or recent history outside of medicine, I would like my readers to let me know what they think.This is a guest post from Peter McCormack's What Bitcoin Did podcast, which is the best introduction to Bitcoin. I have listened to many of his episodes and am using this interview with his kind permission. HERE is the link to the original discussion. I recorded this one at 1.25 speed. Nawaz is a British Pakistani who was a leader in an Islamist group. In December 2001, when he was 20 years old, he was arrested in Egypt. Although nonviolent, he was sentenced to five years for promoting their ideas and thrown in with some of the most notorious criminals in the Middle East. Some of the others who served time with him were just university professors advocating change.When he was not in solitary confinement or being forced to watch others being tortured with electric shocks, he studied. He learned enough from the other prisoners to get the equivalent of several degrees in international relations. Nawaz became convinced that the violent Islamist approach was a mistake, and when he was released from prison at 28, he renounced the extremist group.Luckily, his former colleagues decided not to kill him. He became a commentator and consultant and is now, at 43, a prominent critic of Islamism. He has testified before Congress. He knows George Bush, David Cameron, and was a senior advisor to Tony Blair. He trained the FBI, CIA, and similar British agencies. He has been on the Joe Rogan show. Lately, he has been labeled a “conspiracy theorist” and censored for telling the truth about Covid.Nawaz said he met many sincere underlings in the British and US government service. But he believes that all regimes and government agencies hoard power and wind up as corrupt tools of the powerful. After his experiences, Nawaz concluded that interference with the free flow of information had profoundly evil effects. He said that the best protection the world has now is the US Constitution.Support the show

Earlier this year, a British Pakistani man took several people hostage at a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas—including the congregation's rabbi, Charlie Cytron-Walker. During the 11-hour saga, FBI negotiators posted outside tried to persuade the gunman to come out quietly. Meanwhile, another kind of negotiation was happening inside the temple's walls: between the rabbi and the hostage taker.This week on our podcast The Negotiators, Rabbi Cytron-Walker describes how he tried to humanize himself and the other congregation members in order to stay alive. Cytron-Walker told his story to our show's senior producer, Laura Rosbrow-Telem. This is our last episode of the season. We'll be back soon with more negotiator stories.

In homes across the UK, partition is not history but a live issue for its young descendants. Over the course of a year, Kavita Puri follows three people as they piece together parts of their complex family history and try to understand the legacy of partition and what it means to them today. She connects with a young man who goes to the Pakistani village where his Hindu grandfather was saved by Muslims; a woman who has always thought of herself as British Pakistani but a DNA test reveals she also has roots in India; a woman with Pakistani heritage and a man with Indian heritage plan their wedding and realise that their families actually originate from within an hour of each other in the Punjab. Five years after the award-winning series Partition Voices, Kavita Puri explores the 75th anniversary of the division of the Indian subcontinent through three stories from the third generation in Britain.

When asked why she got into writing, screenwriter Bisha K. Ali joked it all started with a “teacher who gave [her] too much validation.” She said, “I wrote a short story when I was 8 and the teacher made me read it to the class. They were wondering who this kid was who had been sitting in the corner for the past six years.” This early validation, along with a family and cultural love for storytelling from her British-Pakistani background, is “fundamentally” a part of her. “Then, also the fact that I was an indoor kid raised on television and movies. That was my obsession as a child. I just didn't know there was space for me until I got older.” Despite being a quiet kid, Bisha didn't see herself as introverted, just “indoors.” So moving from solo projects to the Writer's Room wasn't particularly overwhelming for her. “I don't know the tI'm an introvert necessarily, just an uncool kid,” she joked. “I think I feed off the energy of other writers a lot. Being in the Writer's Room is the best. It's more fun when you're not the head because you're just pitching ideas and that's fun and exiting. When you're the head, you have to figure out all of it.” “Even know, if there's an opportunity to dip into a Writer's Room, it's the best. I love that environment. But then I also need five days of nothingness. So I need both.” As a screenwriter, Bisha is known for Sex Education, Four Weddings and a Funeral (2019), Loki, and creating the new Marvel series Ms. Marvel for Disney Plus. “It's always been about storytelling for me, in one form or another.” We also talk about Moon Knight in this interview.

Are you scrambling for research ideas? In this podcast, I outline some important questions, which existing research cannot answer: Do joint families curtail alcoholism and wife-beating? Do male-majority workplaces suppress female employment? Can gender quotas in male-majority workplaces reduce sexism? Why is the American Southeast so patriarchal? Does rule of law reduce brutish masculinity? Did Christianity curb Norse polygamy? Why are there so few female leaders in West Africa? When does religious diversity tighten patriarchal controls? Why is female employment so high among British Indians, but not British Pakistani or Bangladeshis?

In this no holds barred podcast, Dilly and Aki Hussain speak with upcoming and controversial British rapper Frenzo Harami. #BloodBrothersPodcast​ #FrenzoHarami​ #HaramLife​ Frenzo describes growing up in east London, a life of crime and his many encounters with the police. Going to prison at the age of 17, the British Pakistani rapper explains what led him back to prison eight times, including a sentence for dealing class A drugs. Topics of discussion also include Frenzo's Islamic references in his songs, raising awareness about the plight of oppressed Muslims, and the controversies surrounding his unfiltered and profane lyrics.

Is there a racial hierarchy when it comes to dating outside of our community? How difficult would it be to go against the 20-30 years of conditioning we've all had on what an acceptable partner looks like? And how does religion add in a third layer where most in the West only struggle with the "interracial" aspect of a mixed marriage? These are the questions Shabnum explores on this week's episode with Zara, Angie, and Tej. Zara is a British Pakistani woman from the UK who fell in love with a white British man from a Christian family. Zara tells us about navigating religion and marriage as a Desi and as a Muslim when these aspects of her identity were very important to her. Angie is Chinese American, and Tej is Indian American and the two talk about breaking the news to their own families while navigating how Sikhism fits into the picture. This episode is a really important one in understanding how Desis all over the world are for the first point in time breaking the established notion of what a successful marriage must look like on such a large scale . Host: Shabnum Gulati Guests: Zara Hadid, Angie Fu, Tej Dhillon Illustration: Hanifa Abdul Hameed Music: AnAkkiN on SoundCloud 

In the first episode of Season 2, Shabnum sits down with Faiza Gul and Jibran Ahmed to talk about the factors that contributed to Pakistani migration to the UK, a demographic that is much more sizable in comparison to Pakistani immigrants to the US. We talk about how and why so many Pakistanis moved to the UK in the 60s - 80s, the racism they faced, and a deeper look into some of the nuanced issues that British Pakistanis face in their own community. We will talk about the relationship of different South Asian groups to each other in the UK, and look to sort some of the myth from fact we hear in the media about the British Pakistani experience.Host: Shabnum Gulati Guests: Faiza Gul, Jibran Ahmed Illustration: Hanifa Abdul HameedMusic: AnAkkiN on SoundCloud
