BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Poor working conditions in Leicester’s clothing factories

Do you care enough about poor working conditions to boycott certain brands and businesses?

First, Qasa Alom gets a round-up of the latest coronavirus news from our reporter Dil Neiyyar. After that we’ll be joined by Sara Khan, the government's Commissioner for Counter Extremism, to talk about how the pandemic is the perfect environment for lies and conspiracy theories to thrive. Then Qasa wants to know, do you care enough about poor working conditions to boycott certain brands and businesses? The recent local lockdown has put Leicester's clothing factories under the spotlight with the Prime Minister calling on the mayor to take action on poor working conditions. Plus, Qasa will find out what generation Z and millennials think of each other. It comes after an article on Vice revealed shocking confessions made by gen Z’s about how uncool they think millennials are. And we’ll have our feature 'Ladies First', where an all-female panel discuss news stories that affect the everyday lives of British Asian women.
