Face masks to be made compulsory in England’s shops

BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Face masks to be made compulsory in England’s shops

How do you feel about face coverings being made compulsory in shops in England?

Qasa asks, how do you feel about face coverings being made compulsory in shops in England?

First, Qasa Alom gets a round-up of the latest coronavirus news from our reporter Dil Neiyyar. Then we’ll hear from TV presenter, Ameer Rana-Davies, about why he is backing calls to remove a Welsh monument to Sir Thomas Picton, who was a 19th Century war hero and colonial governor in Trinidad. After that Qasa wants to know, how do you feel about face coverings being made compulsory in shops in England? This comes as the government is to announce that those who fail to comply with the new rules will face a fine of up to £100. The Black Lives Matter movement has sparked discussions about the taboo of Asians marrying black people. Qasa hears from two mixed race couples about their experience of anti-blackness in the Asian community. Plus, British Asian Formula 3 driver, Enaam Ahmed, talks to us about his thoughts on comments made by Lewis Hamilton about racism in motor racing. And we’ll have our feature ‘Big Debate’s Little Debate’, where we’ll be discussing what dating has been like for singles during lockdown.
