BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Coronavirus: Brits stranded abroad and tribute to Shabnum Sadiq

Qasa asks, is enough being done to bring stranded British nationals home?

Qasa Alom gets a round-up of the latest coronavirus news from our reporter Sukhi Hayer.  New figures show that a third of patients admitted to ICU with coronavirus are from BAME backgrounds. After that we ask, is enough being done to bring stranded British nationals home? We’ve had many listeners contacting us with their families stuck in India or Pakistan. If you are crazy about cricket listen to editor Lawrence Booth, as he picks through the main themes in this year’s edition of Wisden Cricket. And we’ll hear from Cllr Madhuri Bedi and Labour MP Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi who pay tribute to 39-year-old Shabnum Sadiq. They worked with the mother-of-five who died after contracting Covid-19 while out in Pakistan for a wedding.
