Qasa wants to know, is it harder to ask for help for a drink problem if you鈥檙e Asian?

First, Qasa Alom gets a round-up of the latest coronavirus news from our reporter Dil Neiyyar. After that we hear from our sports reporter, Ankur Desai, as England gets set to face the West Indies in the first of 3 Tests. Then Qasa wants to know, is it harder to ask for help for a drink problem if you鈥檙e Asian? This comes after researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Birmingham brought out new guidance to help deal with alcohol problems within Asian communities. We also hear from former England boxer, Bilal Fawaz, who was seen as a "threat to the public" but has now won his fight against extradition and been given a work permit to stay. Qasa is then joined by singer/songwriter Gaurika and rapper Premz about how they鈥檙e addressing issues around racism and inequality through their songs. And we鈥檒l find out more about the Museum of London鈥檚 collection of Ramadan celebrations in London during lockdown. We hear from Aisling Serrant, from Museum of London Docklands and Nafisa Rahimi, one of the participants of the project.
