For over 250 years the United States and the United Kingdom has shared a special relationship. While not always positive... for example the British burning down the White House during the War of 1812 (thanks a lot)... the past 150 years has been very positive. Throughout it all the shared people-to-people connections have driven the relationship to new heights and provided a solid footing for collaboration across all sectors. With the recent signing of the US-UK Economic Prosperity Deal, and the ensuing steps to implement the outline, the economic relationship is set to continue. In this month's episode, we check in with British Consul General in Boston, David Clay, to dive deeper into the current state of relations between the two countries. On the eve of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence (next year), now is a great time to assess the history and the future of the transatlantic partnership, from the economic, to military, to cultural ties that bind these two countries together. No matter the challenges that face the world in the years to come, it seems that a strong relationship will remain a steadfast point in global affairs.David Clay has been a member of the Diplomatic Service since 2005, and has been appointed as the next British Consul General to New England. David was joint head of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office Iraq and Arabian Peninsula Department. In this role he oversaw all aspects of the UK's relationship with Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This included UK security cooperation with the Gulf, launching Free Trade Agreement negotiations with the Gulf Cooperation Council in 2022, and the Qatar World Cup. He then worked on the UK's response to the conflict in Israel/Gaza from 2023 to 2024.From 2016 to 2020, David worked as Deputy Political Counsellor and then Counsellor at the UK's Mission to the UN in New York. He covered peace and security issues in the UN Security Council and General Assembly. This involved regularly representing the UK in the Security Council and overseeing negotiations on many resolutions on conflicts, ranging from Yemen and Mali to Sudan and Colombia.Earlier in his career, David worked for the Foreign Office in Libya before and during the revolution in 2011, and then in Egypt from 2013 to 2016. He speaks Arabic and has a Masters (Distinction) in Middle East politics. Before joining the Foreign Office, David taught English in the east of Sudan.

During the final day of the 2025 Oslo Freedom Forum, I hosted a fireside chat with Abdullah Ibhais—the former media manager jailed for refusing to spin Qatar's migrant worker abuses ahead of the 2022 World Cup—where he delved into the entire affair in detail. During our 45-minute sit down, Abdullah delved into his role as a media manager for Qatar's Supreme Organizing Committee, the incidents that made him realize that Qatar was hiding migrant abuses, and the series of events that led to him languishing in prison while Qatar put on one of the “greatest World Cups of all time.” While Abdullah's bravery was undeniable, it was his poise and brutal honesty that I found most admirable. Despite enduring more suffering in three years than most people face in a lifetime, he carried himself with quiet grace, reflecting more on the meaning of his experience than on retribution. As an Egyptian, I felt an immediate kinship with this Jordanian man. We were both outsiders in the modern Arab world—lonely contrarians pushing back against the rise of Gulf state supremacy, both feeling unmoored in a region that no longer seemed to have a place for us.

Send us a Text Message.Mistreatment of migrant workers, especially those forced to work in hot, dangerous conditions, created huge headlines in the run-up to the Qatar World Cup in 2022, thanks in part to the work of today's guest—journalist Pramod Acharya. Pramod's subsequent reporting also made the news globally. Also done in collaboration with journalists around the world, it spotlighted the conditions faced by Nepalis and others working in Amazon warehouses in Saudi Arabia, and led to Amazon changing some of its work practices. For that reporting, Pramod and his colleagues have received numerous nominations and awards, including—for the Amazon work—the Excellence in International Reporting award from the Asian American Journalists Association and the Human Rights Press Award, from Human Rights Watch and others. Today he'll tell us how and where he got his start in journalism, how migration from Nepal has changed in the decade since he started investigating it, and the role that the media might play in making positive change.  ResourcesOne of Pramod's reports on the Qatar World CupA report from Pramod on Amazon warehousesCentre for Investigative Journalism, Nepal Send us feedback and ideas.

Send us a Text Message.I want to start this week with a shout out to Tanka, who shared our 3 latest episodes on LinkedIn, including his favourite. His top choice was our chat with Raj and Sunita, who met, online, while working in Gulf countries, got married in Nepal and are now living here again, at least temporarily. Although they're now pregnant, they appear destined to be a migration family, as Raj is now trying to get a work visa for South Korea.Do you have a favourite episode of the show? If so, why not let us know via LinkedIn or other social channels. You can also text the show by clicking the link above. If you're in the US or Canada it's free, it costs 6 rupees from Nepal, and outside of these areas normal charges would apply.This week's news about migration includes the Government of Nepal recruiting 500 men and women to work in Israel as assistants in long-term care centres. There have been some online protests about the government working with Israel because of its ongoing attack on Gaza, but I don't expect that will affect applicationsComing up next week we'll be speaking with award-winning journalist Pramod Acharya, who reports about migration, including human rights abuses, of Nepali and other workers, during the building of World Cup facilities in Qatar. He also worked with other media to uncover abusive practices in Amazon warehouses in Saudi Arabia.

There will be no more of relieved man in London today than Mauricio Pochettino who saw his Chelsea side thump Middlesborough and move onto the Carabao Cup final. Is this tournament his lifeline and could it turn their season around? We also take a look at just why the January transfer window has had less movement than Marley during a Sunday League game - are clubs that fearful of the FFP sanctions? And we finish with a quiz - but with a special twist, featuring FIFA president Gianni Infantino's infamous ‘I feel' speech at the 2022 Qatar World Cup!

It's been more than a year since Jake Daniels made history. Still just a teenager, the Blackpool player came out publicly as gay – and become the first active British male footballer to come out while still playing since Justin Fashanu. Life has been a whirlwind for Jake since then – and we're delighted that he's found the time to join us on the podcast for an episode that we know so many of you have been desperate to hear. And this isn't just an episode about Jake's decision to come out – but about the impact it has had on his mental health, and why Jake has teamed up with the Movember charity to help ensure others are beginning to have conversations about how they are feeling. We talk about Jake's journey in football; his decision to come out; the reaction to it; his take on things like the Qatar World Cup and the upcoming World Cup in Saudi Arabia; what needs to be done to make the game more inclusive – and loads, loads more. This is an episode with someone who has rightly been lauded as a game-changer in British sport – and we can't wait for you to hear it.

When I was the sports reporter for BBC Radio 1 for 8 years, I spent a lot of time talking to and hearing from an exhaustive list of Premier League managers. One of them stood out above the rest for entertainment value – and that was Ian Holloway when he was in charge of Blackpool FC.Ian Holloway is clearly a naturally funny man – and he also has a depth and emotional sensitivity that you can't help but warm to.A driving theme of this podcast is ego – and not letting the idea you have about yourself get in the way. Ian opens up about how hard he has been on himself throughout his life, and self-critical – so much so that he once had to take down all the mirrors in his house because he didn't like looking at himself.We also talk about emotional intelligence – and the time Ian went on a BBC programme called Stress Test to learn how to calm his temper down, at a time when showing vulnerability like that wasn't as in vogue as it is now. Ian shares about how his experiences have helped him grow and evolve, not least looking after his wife through serious illness as well as raising three profoundly deaf children. As he says, we all get challenges and difficulties in life – and it's about how we cope with them that matters.In this episode we discuss:Relationships are the most important thingThe best phrase for dealing with someone who is giving you stickEgo and how it leads us astrayEmotional intelligence and what Ian Holloway learned going on the BBC programme The Stress Test Some of the biggest challenges in Ian's life and how we all have difficulties, and it's how we react that's importantWhen Ian's Dad died – and the transcendental experiences Ian subsequently hadSelf-care and the importance of doing something for yourselfRecognising the feelings underneath anger – like a fear of failure or not being good enoughThe wisdom of Graham TaylorLaughter is the best medicineIan ranting about the Qatar World Cup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6PacW2fJV0Ian's book: How to Be a Football Manager - Enter the hilarious and crazy world of the gafferhttps://www.waterstones.com/book/how-to-be-a-football-manager-enter-the-hilarious-and-crazy-world-of-the-gaffer/ian-holloway/9781472298591**MyTwitter: https://twitter.com/simonmundieInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/simonmundie/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-mundie-89379114/And for the 'Mundie on Monday' newsletter - featuring three of the best Life Lessons from four years and 200 of these conversations - head to simonmundie.com (where you can also drop me an email)Please do share this episode - it makes a big difference in helping people find this podcast.Thank you.

In the United States, the Federal Reserve has left interest rates unchanged for the first time in more than a year. However, its latest economic forecasts suggest that more rate hikes lie ahead. Despite the assurances given by the Qatar government and FIFA, a new report says “labour exploitation of migrant workers rampant during Qatar World Cup” and some workers were left unable to pay off the debts they built up to get their jobs in the first place and that many felt unable to complain for fear of reprisal. And the frenzy stoked by the start of the singer's world tour is seen driving up prices in Sweden. She is apparently the queen of inflation after the rise of demand for hotels and restaurant meals, according to the country's economic statistics.

It's 12 years since Qatar was announced as the host country for the men's World Cup football tournament. Awarding the event to Qatar was a controversial decision at the time and still is, on several levels. The country has strict anti-LGBTQ+ laws, and women's rights are the subject of ongoing debate. More recently, treatment of the 30,000 migrant labourers, who built many of the tournament's stadiums and infrastructure has been severely criticised. James Reynolds has been talking to fans around the globe, including gay rights activists, and hears from women living in Qatar, as the eyes of the world turn to their country.
