Women make up half of the workforce in the UK. Yet when it comes to high-skilled, high-income jobs in tech, just 26 per cent of the workforce are women and 77 per cent of tech leaders are men. Jobs in tech filter into almost every sector and women from all walks of life are discovering they don't need a maths or tech background to retrain and reinvent themselves. Over the last five years the UK's tech sector has seen massive proliferation and investment, but given this level of growth, where are all the women? The government's approach to bridging the gap has focused on teaching in schools. While evidently, the issue starts from a young age, should more emphasis be placed on encouraging women of all ages to learn new skills and explore opportunities that could offer a higher salary and career progression? On the podcast, Katy Balls is joined by Sharon Doherty who is the Chief People and Places Officer and Lloyds Banking Group. Nusrat Ghani, Conservative MP for Wealden and East Sussex and Minister for both Business and Trade and the Cabinet Office. Finally, Anneliese Dodds, Labour MP for Oxford East and Shadow secretary of state for Women and Equalities. This podcast is kindly sponsored by Lloyds Banking Group.

Boris Johnson has launched an investigation into Nusrat Ghani’s claim she was sacked as a minister for her “muslimness”. Will it lead to a light finally being shone on Tory Islamophobia? With Michael Walker and Ash Sarkar.
Boris Johnson has ordered the Cabinet Office to investigate a claim by a Conservative MP that she was sacked as a minister, in part, because she's a Muslim. A Downing Street spokesperson said the Prime Minister took Nusrat Ghani's allegation very seriously. This comes at the beginning of what could prove to be a pivotal week for the Prime Minister, as the government awaits the publication of a report into a series of gatherings at Number 10 during lockdown. Today's Justin Webb hears the analysis of the BBC's Political Editor, Laura Kuenssberg. Today's Mishal Husain speaks to the Baroness Warsi, the first Muslim appointed to a cabinet position in the UK, before questioning the Education Minister, Nadhim Zahawi.

To the UK, where the ruling Conservative Party has another internal row on its hands. Former minister Nusrat Ghani has told a newspaper that she was sacked from her job because her Muslim faith made colleagues feel uncomfortable. This comes after weeks of stories of alleged illicit parties, accusations of threats and blackmail against government political enforcers and a series of Prime Minister Boris Johnson's own MPs calling on him to resign. UK correspondent Olly Barratt spoke to Susie Ferguson.
An investigation is currently being carried out by the Cabinet Secretary which will examine three allegations of gatherings last Christmas. These include two in Downing Street, despite Covid rules banning them. This comes as the government's Plan B rolls out in England to protect against the spread of the Omicron variant. Today's Nick Robinson speaks to Labour's Shadow Health Secretary, Wes Streeting. He also speaks to Lord Barwell, Theresa May's former chief of staff and former Conservative MP, as well as Nusrat Ghani, Vice chair of the 1922 committee of backbench Conservative MPs.

Come and discover the hilltops, woodland and seaside paths that help our MPs escape the political bubble, and made them the people they are today. Each week, an MP takes Ben Weisz for a walk and talk – rambling, in every sense of the word. This week, Nusrat Ghani, MP for Wealden, takes Ben for a stroll through the Ashdown Forest.

The Home Office has announced that Afghans who worked for the British military and UK government will be able to move to the UK permanently. Those who arrived previously had had their temporary residency capped at five years, but they too will now be granted indefinite leave to remain. The Taliban leadership have said on their first day with international forces gone from Afghanistan that they want good relations with everyone, while also warning that there should be no interference in their affairs. Today's Mishal Husain speaks to Victoria Atkins, the Home Office minister in charge of Afghan resettlement as well as Nusrat Ghani, Conservative MP who is among those trying to help Afghans who still want to leave. Lyse Doucet also sends her latest report from Kabul. (Image: RAF Brize Norton personnel escorting passengers from a RAF Voyager aircraft, Credit: MoD / Crown Copyright 2021)
Le 18 et 19 mai, un débat hautement sensible doit avoir lieu au Parlement belge, scruté de près par Pékin : les députés discuteront d’une résolution qui vise à qualifier de « génocide » la répression à l’égard des 11 millions de Ouïghours et d’autres minorités turciques. Si ce texte passe, la Belgique rejoindrait les États-Unis, le Canada, le Royaume-Uni et les Pays-Bas. De nature à entraîner d’autres pays dans cet élan, y compris la France ? La pression de Pékin est forte. Pour le député belge Samuel Cogolati, il est temps « d’appeler l’horreur par son nom » : la Chine tente d’éradiquer la culture et la religion des Ouïghours au Xinjiang, il s’agit donc d’un « génocide », selon les termes définis par la Convention de l’ONU de 1948. « On ne peut pas tolérer qu’au XXe siècle une minorité musulmane soit confrontée à des détentions arbitraires, on parle de plus d’un million d’êtres humains complètement innocents, y compris des femmes, enfermés dans des camps, de campagnes de stérilisations forcées, de campagnes d’enfants arrachés à leurs parents. Il est donc important que les Européens soient unis dans leur message vis-à-vis de Pékin. » ► À écouter aussi : Les Ouïghours, un peuple sous haute surveillance totalitaire Dans le collimateur de la Chine Le député des Verts espère que cette fois, le débat à la Chambre belge pourra avoir lieu. Le 4 mai, l’audition a dû être annulée à la dernière minute – suite à une cyberattaque. Samuel Cogolati sait qu’il est dans le collimateur de la Chine. « Le jour où j’ai déposé la résolution, nous avons reçu, dans l’heure, des messages qui nous parvenaient de l’ambassade de la Chine en Belgique. Puis, quand le Conseil des Affaires étrangères de l’UE a adopté des sanctions contre les responsables des violations des droits humains au Xinjiang, la Chine a adopté des contre-mesures », raconte Samuel Cogolati puis d'ajouter : « Et j’ai dû découvrir que la Chine me visait moi et ma famille parmi les 10 personnes visées en Europe. Ça fait d’abord froid dans le dos, mais comme élu dans un pays libre, nous avons le devoir d’être la voix de ceux qui n’en ont pas. » Une motion loin d'être anecdotique Pékin l’accuse de « propager des mensonges ». Il en est de même pour la députée Nusrat Ghani. Au Parlement britannique, elle a porté une motion affirmant que la minorité des Ouïghours est victime de crimes contre l’humanité et de génocide, votée à l’unanimité le 23 avril. Bien que non contraignante, cette motion est loin d’être anecdotique, estime l’élue du parti conservateur : « Ce n’est pas juste symbolique. Cette motion doit forcer le gouvernement à enquêter. Notre vote met aussi en évidence l’incapacité de l’ONU de déterminer et de prévenir des génocides. L’ONU ne fait pas son boulot ! Nous, en tant qu’élus, on ne se laissera pas museler. Le Parti communiste chinois n’a pas à nous intimider », s'exclame-t-elle. Un élan français ? La France, se laissera-t-elle entraîner dans cet élan ? Rien n’est moins sûr, selon le sénateur André Gattolin, co-président de l’Alliance interparlementaire sur la Chine IPAC qui regroupe des élus de 16 Parlements : « Au sein de la classe politique française, il y a toujours eu une très grande bienveillance à l’égard de la Chine. On a dit “quand la Chine s’éveillera, le monde tremblera”. Aujourd’hui, il est important de faire évoluer ces mentalités », soutient le sénateur. L’élu de la République en Marche l’affirme : il existe de nombreuses preuves que Pékin mène une politique génocidaire au Xinjiang. « Je suis très favorable à une position ferme sur la répression et je dirai même de la tentative d’éradication de la population ouïghoure qui est menée par le gouvernement central de Pékin », dit-il. « Je suis en revanche plus dubitatif sur la question du génocide, d’abord parce que la Convention onusienne de 1948 définit des contours difficiles à mettre en exergue. La réalité d’un constat de génocide passe par une Cour pénale internationale, très difficile à mettre en œuvre. En particulier à l’encontre d’un pays comme la Chine qui est membre du Conseil permanent du Conseil de sécurité de l’ONU. » Pékin bloque toute enquête de l’ONU sur place et ne reconnaît pas la Cour pénale internationale. Traîner la Chine devant la justice paraît donc en effet mission impossible. Pour l’heure, les Parlements nationaux semblent l'une des seules voies possibles pour dénoncer la persécution des Ouïghours.
