Join Raza Ahmed and Danayal Zia for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Media Bias' and 'Expats’
Media Bias
According to a detailed analysis published by Centre of Media Monitoring, over the last few months, UK news coverage of the Isreal- Gaza conflict has been showing “overwhelming” bias in favour of Israel. The report says that pro-Israeli sources were challenged less frequently than Palestinian sources and were framed in ways that overlooked marginalised Palestinian views. In light of the Islamic teachings on honesty, truthfulness and the role of the media, join us to discuss the impact of media bias on the coverage of the conflict in Israel and Gaza.
Expats
Millions of Britons set to flee the UK and become expats for a better retirement. Nearly six in 10 adults said they’re “unlikely” to achieve their retirement goals in the UK. Join us LIVE at 5 pm to discuss why are people choosing to leave the UK
