BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Mobeen Azhar

Mobeen asks, is hate crime affecting how you live your life?

Mobeen asks, is hate crime affecting how listeners live their lives? Also, actor Sheena Bhattessa discusses her role in the RSC's London production of Queen Anne.

Mobeen asks: Is hate crime affecting how you live your life? We're asking this after a Muslim surgeon was stabbed in Greater Manchester, in what police are investigating as a hate-crime. Also, Mobeen Azhar is joined by actress Sheena Bhattessa to discuss her role in RSC's production of Queen Anne in London. American Muslim Journalist Salman Mitha from Munich and Sinthujan Varatharajah, who lives in Berlin, talk to Mobeen about the results of the German federal elections, after Angela Merkel was re-elected for a fourth term. We speak to them after 
right-wing, nationalist AfD party gained its first parliamentary seats. Then two Labour party members speak to Mobeen live from the Labour Party conference in Brighton. And 17-year-old Enaam Ahmed, who is being tipped for big things in the sport of motor-racing, joins Mobeen to talk about winning the British F3 Championship.
