The Week in Westminster

Sonia Sodha of The Observer assesses the latest developments at Westminster.How should the British government respond to Donald Trump? That question was again asked this week after the American President suggested the US could take over Gaza, removing Palestinian residents in order to redevelop the strip. Earlier in the week the President also threatened tariffs against allies such as Mexico, Canada and the EU. To discuss how the UK should navigate this tricky diplomatic terrain, Sonia speaks to Lord Darroch, former UK ambassador to the US, and Sir David Lidington, a former Conservative Cabinet minister and now chairman of the defence think tank RUSI.Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson, gave a major speech on Monday setting out her vision for England's schools. It follows criticism of her Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill which is currently going through Parliament. To debate the reforms Sonia is joined by Mary Bousted, a former general secretary of the National Education Union and now a Labour peer, and Neil O'Brien, a Conservative MP and former minister.Is the UK becoming less cohesive? Sara Khan, the government's former independent adviser on social cohesion and resilience, explains why she thinks there is a risk to democracy from declining social cohesion.And, as a new book charting Keir Starmer's rise to power sends the Westminster gossip machine into overdrive, Sonia speaks to one of the co-authors, Gabriel Pogrund of The Sunday Times, and Labour peer, Ayesha Hazarika.

Sim Cheuanghane is a multidisciplinary artist, curator and DJ who recently wrote an anthropology thesis entitled "Food as Practice: Navigations of Chinese Diasporic Identity Through Food Making and Sharing". This work explores the Chinese diaspora and the role of food in the process of re-connecting and re-constructing individual and collective identities and forging solidarity. Through their work, we learn how food takes on meaning beyond nourishment — to signify movement, pleasure, connection, emotion and even a form of protest for racialised people. Sim's work is rich with emotion, story and taste- so we are excited to have them them speak to it.  In this interview, Sim mentions a zine on Chinese Protest Recipes, which can be found here.  This episode was hosted by Darren Lesaguis and Sara Khan with special guest Sim Cheuanghane.

Lost work, increased racism, inequitable resource, burnout, questionable Diversity & Inclusion strategies, the risk of losing a generation of artists, gestures towards hope. Today on the show we are talking about the impacts that the ongoing pandemic has had on the lives and wellbeing for First Nations artists and creatives of colour. We all know the arts have been hard hit all round - but what about for marginalised communities that were already experiencing uneven representation and opportunity in creative industries. Diversity Arts are publishing their second Lost Work report detailing all this and more, including whether global anti-racist movements like Black Lives Matter and #stopasianhate have led to meaningful industry shifts. The results are concerning and paints a picture of how oppressive practices continue to impact the lives and wellbeing of our creative communities. We were joined by two artists who shared their experiences of the last few years: Wakka Wakka Kombumerri dancer Katina Olsen and Shyamla Eswaran, dancer and founder of south asian arts movement Bindi Bosses.

Presented by Jenni Murray. A 16 year-old young woman looking at universities came across the St Andrews Survivors page on Instagram with more than 100 stories of sexual assault. She only read a couple but consequently wiped St Andrews off her potential university list. Her mother, a Woman’s Hour listener, wrote to us to saying she felt universities are not doing enough to address this problem, and was concerned with the impact this could have on young women going to university. Jenni is joined by Sara Khan, NUS Vice President for Liberation and Equality for an update on a problem that has been raised many times in the last few years. How successful have universities been in addressing this? What singing can do for your mental health? We hear how much some listeners are missing being part of choirs, and also from those who have been finding alternative ways to sing as a group online and even outdoors. Jenni discusses the issues with listener Carolyn Acton, Sandra Colston, MD Funky Choir MD and Liesbeth Tip Clinical psychologist at the School of Health and Social Science at University of Edinburgh.

This week the Home Secretary Amber Rudd announced that Sara Khan will lead the newly created Commission for Countering Extremism - an appointment which was not welcomed with blanket approval, with some sections of the Muslim community calling on her to quit. Sara Khan is the co-founder of Inspire - a counter-extremism and human rights organisation engaging with Muslim women, which has also engaged with the government's Prevent scheme. The counter-extremism programme has proved controversial, with critics claiming it unfairly 'spies' on the Muslim community - but Sara Khan has been a vocal supporter, saying it is vital tool in tackling terrorism at its root. This has put her at odds with some British Muslim organisations, and has also led to vicious online abuse and accusations that she is a 'house Muslim' and a government stooge. This criticism has re-emerged in light of her new appointment, with questions about her experience and whether she really qualifies for the role. Becky Milligan charts Sara Khan's life growing up in Bradford, speaking to old friends who worked alongside her in her early advocacy work as a leader in a prominent British Muslim youth group and charts the road which has taken her to a prominent role in central government.

Sarah Montague speaks to Sara Khan, director and co-founder of Inspire. Kadiza Sultana was 16 when she ran away from her home in London to join the so-called Islamic State group in Syria. Her family have heard reports that she is dead - killed in a Russian air-strike. It's hard enough to understand why young men join IS, it's harder still to see what attracts women. Sara Khan is at the forefront of efforts in the UK to prevent young women being radicalised. What does she say to them? And is it making any difference?(Photo: Sara Khan in the Hardtalk studio)
