Podcasts about Shabana

There is speculation today that the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will become Chancellor when the incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham announces his Cabinet on Monday. Whoever takes on the role will face quite the in-tray: high debt, low growth, welfare reform, defence spending, and the economic fallout from the US-Israel war with Iran, to name a few issues. So, if it's Shabana Mahmood, how might she fare and what do we know about her? Anita Rani speaks to Lucy Fisher, Whitehall Editor of the Financial Times and Host of the FT's Political Fix podcast.Australian surf and fashion photographer Cait Miers says that on shoots women often criticise and apologise for their looks before a single photo is taken. She is now photographing 1,000 women globally, bare-faced, for a project she has called Laugh Lines. Anita is joined by Cait to talk about her mission to challenge beauty standards and also by Alexis Zahner, author of Real: Reconnecting to Yourself in a World of Likes and Lies, and one of the first women to be photographed for the project.Dr Suzanne Huurman is the only woman to head a country's medical staff in the men's 2026 FIFA World Cup, meaning there is just one woman and 47 men in the lead role for the teams taking part this year. Anita talks to Suzanne about being a trailblazer, how she - as head of medical staff for Curacao's national men's side - got to become only the third-ever female team doctor in the 96-year history of the tournament and what she thinks could be done to increase female representation in football.The Young British Artists, YBA movement of the 1990s is the inspiration for a new novel, Exhibition, by Alex Hyde. The protagonist, Rabble, an aspiring photographer, finds herself in the YBA scene after meeting an artist always referred to in the novel as “you”. Anita talks to Alex about how, through Rabble, her novel explores the inspiration and process of creating art - and the question of ownership, referencing real works.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Rebecca Myatt

The UK government's recently introduced Immigration and Asylum Bill, presented by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood on June 30, 2026, brings forth significant structural modifications.Home Secretary  emphasized that the policy aims to alleviate the financial strain on British taxpayers, asserting that receiving asylum support is both a "responsibility" and a right.Adults who are granted asylum and possess the means to do so are required to repay a flat-rate fee of approximately £10,000 to the Home Office. This amount will be collected as a contribution towards their accommodation and living support expenses once they begin earning an income. Full repayment of this sum is mandatory before individuals can apply for permanent residency or settled status (Indefinite Leave to Remain).However, children are completely exempt from this requirement, and the rule will not be applied retroactively. The Home Office has indicated that these regulations aim to reduce the annual asylum support expenditure, which reached £4 billion in the previous year. Government representatives have stated that these stringent measures are inspired by Denmark's rigorous asylum policies.Human rights organizations, including the Refugee Council, have condemned the fee as an unjust "additional tax on refugees." They contend that it imposes a significant financial burden on families who arrived destitute and are striving to rebuild their lives.

What does it take to shape a filmmaker? How do you 'make' a Jaya Bachchan or an Adoor Gopalakrishnan? Radha Chadha's new book The Maker of Filmmakers: How Jagat Murari and FTII Changed Indian Cinema Forever takes us through the life and legacy of her father Jagat Murari, and the iconic film school he built. With uncanny consistency, FTII produced top talent: Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi, Adoor Gopalakrishnan and Subhash Ghai, Shatrughan Sinha, Girish Kasaravalli, Mani Kaul, and many other cinema legends. His alumni became the big names of Bollywood, spearheaded the Indian New Wave, kickstarted regional language cinema, and helped usher television into the country. It's this extraordinary creative legacy that leads to the book's tantalizing question: Did Jagat Murari have a secret formula? In conversation with author Radha Chadha, Ambassador Talmiz Ahmad, legendary filmmaker Girish Kasaravalli, and iconic cinematographer G.S. Bhaskar, this session will delve into how Jagat Murari and FTII shaped generations of filmmakers – and how their work transformed Indian cinema into the global powerhouse it is today. Both Radha and Talmiz grew up at FTII, where their fathers served as Principal and Vice Principal. The session will include a montage of student film clips of iconic FTII alumni Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Subhash Ghai, Mani Kaul, and others, as also an excerpt from Girish Kasaravalli's award-winning student film Avsesh. A Q&A with the audience will be followed by book signings by the author.

Shabana Azeez's Dr. Victoria Javadi is still finding her footing in many ways at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center ER, but The Pitt Season 2, Episode 4, “10:00 A.M.,” just revealed that she has an especially strong voice elsewhere — on TikTok.In Episode 2, we met a woman (Elysia Roorbach) who accidentally used superglue to apply her lashes. In Episode 4, when Langdon (Patrick Ball) can't get her out the door fast enough, she insists on seeing the “best doctor in Pittsburgh,” a doctor going by the name Dr. J on TikTok. Turns out, Dr. Javadi is a megastar on MedTok.While one might be quick to label it a light and fun Episode 4 storyline, this new layer of Dr. Javadi's world has loads to say about her, and also about the nature of social media apps and the inaccessibility of academia. While on Collider Ladies Night, Azeez took a moment to explain what put Dr. Javadi on the TikTok path. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nick Robinson speaks to Shabana Mahmood, British Home Secretary, about her far-reaching proposals to shake up the UK immigration system, designed to make asylum seekers think twice before attempting to enter the country illegally.She also shares her own experience of racism as the daughter of Pakistani immigrants, and her belief that ensuring secure borders is the best way to combat this. Under her plans, refugee status will be made temporary, with frequent reviews, meaning people could be returned to their home country if it is deemed safe. Refugees will also need to live in the UK for 20 years before they can apply to stay permanently, a signifcant increase on the current five years. The removal of failed asylum seekers will be speeded up, and Shabana Mahmood is revoking the legal duty to provide them with support such as housing and money.Presenter: Nick Robinson Producer: Lucy Sheppard and Daniel Kraemer Editor: Justine LangGet in touch with us on email TheInterview@bbc.co.uk and use the hashtag #TheInterviewBBC on social media.(Image: Shabana Mahmood.

The home secretary is going hard on immigration and she's taking a lot of people with her, not least Kemi Badenoch and the Reform party.Shabana Mahmood is using her identity – as a British Asian Muslim – to prove why she understands the migration problem in the country better than most.So how extreme are her new policies, modelled on the Danish system? Can she persuade the whole Labour party that they're not going too far, when they've spent years calling Tory policies "racist"?And as a tough, plain speaking and passionate politician, is she the new Margaret Thatcher? And could she pose a threat to Keir Starmer now the Labour Party is looking beyond him as leader?Plus – Harriet thinks the chancellor will scrap the two child benefit cap entirely at next week's budget – but is that actually popular with the party? Or are Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves bending to the demands of their backbenchers?Remember, you can also watch Beth Rigby, Harriet Harman and Ruth Davidson on YouTube.

While we wait for the findings of the Covid Inquiry into the decision-making during the pandemic, Shabana Mahmood has given a statement in the Commons outlining further details of Labour's migration crackdown. The headline is that those who arrived during the so-called ‘Boriswave' will have to wait up to 20 years before achieving settled status.Figures within Reform are having fun with the suggestion that the Home Secretary is more aligned with them on migration, but it is perhaps fairer to say that Shabana is taking her cues from the Blue Labour movement.

A dramatic U-turn from Labour has stopped them from breaking their manifesto, but it has also left the Budget looking messy and wide open to risk. The expected income tax rise has been shelved in favour of what some insiders call a “smorgasbord” of smaller taxes. In this episode of Political Currency, Ed Balls and George Osborne dig into whether this was a rushed scramble or a smart political play. - and the extent to which it has knocked Rachel Reeves off the story she had been shaping in the run up to Budget week.Away from the Budget noise, all eyes turned to Shabana Mahmood and her sweeping overhaul of the asylum and refugee system. The announcement has split Labour supporters. Is this the arrival of what some are already calling "Mahmoodism"? And will these measures work in practice, or just push parts of the left toward the Greens or the Lib Dems?Finally, George and Ed look from Tehran to California, where George's former colleague Steve Hilton is suddenly leading the race for governor.

The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood laid out a string of reforms to the asylum system that would see refugee status become temporary, guaranteed housing support for asylum seekers end and new capped "safe and legal routes" into the UK created. Speaking in the House of Commons, Mahmood told MPs the current system is "out of control and unfair", and said: "If we fail to deal with this crisis, we will draw more people down a path that starts with anger and ends in hatred."Also on the programme: as Syrians search for those who disappeared during the 13-year civil war, questions remain over missing American Austin Tice.And an off-duty pilot who tried to cut off the engines of an Alaska Airlines passenger flight with more than 80 people on board, after having taken psychedelic mushrooms, has been sentenced.

Following a briefing war and a budget U-turn last week, can the Home Secretary get the government's agenda back on track? Sam and Anne discuss Shabana Mahmood's plan to overhaul the asylum system – inspired by the Danes – and whether it will cut through with the voters. Plus, they also consider the implications of the Chancellor's decision to not raise income tax and where the ‘smorgasbord' of other tax rises will come from.

In this heartfelt conversation, Amy Wheeler sits down with Shabana Safdari, yoga therapist, teacher, and founder of Yoga with Shabana, based in Bangalore, India.

This week we are so excited to have two incredible guests on the podcast to help us learn more about their areas of expertise, individual stories and help our community educate themselves on Breast Cancer + Women's Health. Dr. Deepa Halaharvi, DO, FACOS, is a fellowship-trained, board-certified breast surgeon and breast cancer survivor. She graduated from Kansas City University in 2008 and went on to complete her general surgery residency in 2013 at Doctor's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.Dedicated to lifelong learning, Halaharvi continued to master her skills by focusing on breast surgical oncology through a fellowship program in 2014. Only eight months after completing her fellowship, she learned firsthand what it feels like to hear the words, “You have breast cancer.” Despite the different forms of crises, setback and illness, Halaharvi realized she had the courage and resiliency to keep going using her voice and experience to help her patients. Having seen both sides—as a breast cancer surgeon and a breast cancer patient—she has gained unique insight and perspective into what it is like to face breast cancer. She started The Breast Cancer Podcast, a YouTube channel and social media outlets to help educate others about body awareness and managing a breast cancer diagnosis. Halaharvi continues to challenge herself and others in learning new skills to achieve better outcomes and improve the patient experience.Dr. Shabana Dewani is board certified in Medical Oncology, Hematology, and Internal Medicine. She completed her residency in Internal Medicine at Wright State University and was appointed as Chief Resident.

She participated in multiple clinical trials investigating different therapies to treat breast, gastrointestinal and hematologic cancers.Dr. Dewani is married, has two children and lives in Dublin, Ohio.

Tune in to episode 228 of Joy Found Here, where wellness coach Shabana Knight shares her extraordinary journey from an Indian orphanage to a life built on gratitude, health, and self-discovery. Adopted and raised in the U.S., Shabana returned decades later to the orphanage where her story began, an experience that deepened her sense of identity and sparked a greater appreciation for the life she has built with her family.That same openness has guided her career. What began with encouraging a coworker to lose baby weight revealed her natural gift for motivation, which grew into personal training, wellness coaching, and a holistic practice blending fitness, hormone balance, homeopathic remedies, and decluttering. Her approach emphasizes that true wellness goes beyond the body—it's about aligning mind, body, and environment so you can thrive from a place of overflow rather than depletion.In this episode, Shabana reflects on how gratitude, community, and intentional self-care can transform not just health but entire lives. From her human design discoveries to embracing both a given and chosen birthday, she shows why putting yourself first isn't selfish but essential. Her message is clear: wellness isn't perfection—it's alignment, abundance, and the daily choice to live with intention.In This Episode, You Will Learn:How Shabana's life began in an Indian orphanage before adoption in the U.S. (2:54)Her return to India and the powerful experience of visiting her orphanage (4:18)The gratitude shifts she brought home after reconnecting with her roots (7:19)How helping a coworker lose baby weight launched her into fitness coaching (8:29)Why personal training and decluttering “found her” as part of her wellness path (10:30)The role of intuition and how she makes things happen—from drops to coaching (13:30)Living from overflow instead of depletion and why it changes everything (16:39)The surprising story of choosing a second birthday through human design (17:55)How homeopathic drops transformed her hormones, sleep, and mood (24:37)Simple daily rituals that keep her grounded, grateful, and able to give (27:29)Connect with Shabana Knight:FacebookInstagramPodcast: Organized Chaos; Stories with ShabanaLet's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

With the announcement yesterday that the government would be prepared to suspend visas for countries that don't cooperate with the UK over deportations, has Shabana Mahmood shown she has what it takes to tackle immigration? Tim Shipman and James Heale join Patrick Gibbons to discuss whether the new home secretary can ‘stop the boats'.But, as the government ‘reset' continues, all eyes are on Labour's deputy leadership race. The most high-profile MPs to throw their hats in the ring are education secretary Bridget Phillipson, former shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry – and Lucy Powell, fresh from her sacking as Leader of the House of Commons. Is the race shaping up to be a one-on-one between a government loyalist and an outsider?Plus: as Kemi Badenoch is trying to talk about the economy we discuss whether she is more William Hague or Iain Duncan-Smith, and the Epstein scandal has pulled in our man–dy in Washington.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
