Nihal asks, have you changed your mind on how you voted in the EU Referendum?

It has been a year since the UK voted to leave the European Union. Nihal asks, have you changed your mind on how you voted in the EU Referendum?

It's been a year since Britain voted on whether or not to stay in the EU, with 52 per cent people voting to leave. Since then there has been criticism over the way negotiations have proceeded, with some polls suggesting people would change their vote if they could. But many Brexiters say they are fed up with people who have struggled to move on from the referendum's outcome. So exactly one year on, have you changed your mind on how you voted in the EU Referendum? Then, acclaimed filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker, who directed classics such as Lagaan and Jodhaa Akbar, talks to Nihal about his career and his upcoming masterclass at the British Film Institute. After this, the government's independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, Max Hill QC, talks about his role as the government's terrorism watchdog, and the extra security being promised by the government following recent terrorist attacks in the UK. Nihal then talks to some of the Asian acts at this year's Glastonbury festival. And director Sam Masud talks about his film My Pure Land, a new Urdu language film based on a true story, which premieres in Edinburgh this weekend.
