First, Qasa Alom gets a round-up of the latest coronavirus news from our reporter Pete Walker. Then we’ll hear from Dr Bharat Pankanya, senior clinical lecturer on infectious disease, , Rukhsana Hussain, a community volunteer and Azad Raja, a biomedical student about they think there has been a rise in coronavirus cases in Leicester. After that Qasa asks, is it unfair to point the finger at Leicester’s Asian community over the spike in Covid-19 cases? An official report by Public Health Englnd found that there is no obvious source for the surge in Leicester but some people on social media have said that Asians have not taken social distancing seriously. Plus, we are joined by Sitara Shefta, from No Brakes Games, Maria Afsar, an avid gamer and Professor Umran Ali, who runs a video games programme at Salford University. They’ll be talking about this summer’s new Marvel’s Avengers game, which makes is making strides for diversity as one of the main character will be Kamala Khan, aka - Ms. Marvel. And we’ll have our feature ‘Ladies First’, where an all-female panel discuss news stories that affect the lives of British Asian women.
