WEBVTT - Introducing: The Mishal Husain Show

0:00:02.360 --> 0:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Hello. I'm Michelle Hussein and for more than twenty years

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I was at the BBC presiding over political debates. Welcome

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>to the BBC Prime Ministerial Debate, covering international news now

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:18.280
<v Speaker 1>so that the United States has completed its military withdrawal

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 1>from Afghanistan twenty years and reporting on some pretty famous people.

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Youural Highness Megan Markel, congratulations to both. Thank you. It

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>was thrilling to be in the front row to watch

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:35.479
<v Speaker 1>history unfold, even if I did have to get up

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>at three am most mornings. But all the time I

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.959
<v Speaker 1>was delivering the headlines, I wanted to go further than

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 1>the news of the day. I wanted to talk about

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:50.239
<v Speaker 1>the ideas behind it, to spend more time with the

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 1>people shaping our world. And that's what I'm doing here

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>on this podcast from Bloomberg Weekend. I speak with people like,

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 1>in terms of political spending, I'm going to do a

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>lot less in the future, and why is that? I

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>think I've done enough? Prime Minister Keir Starmer recognizing of

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Palestinian state was in your manifesto. Do you want to

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 1>be the British Prime Minister who delivers that? I'm clear

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.959
<v Speaker 1>and our manifesto was clear about our position on recognition

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 1>cultural figures like Succession creator Jesse Armstrong. You are writing

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>about that world of the super rich again, and there's

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>a sorry. Well I wondered why I believe I'm doing

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.759
<v Speaker 1>it because I'm interested in the power, not the money

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 1>and shonder rhymes. How did you feel about Bridgerton being

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>described as woke? I didn't know anybody described it as woke.

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>The Telegraph called it pandering to woke casting. Well, that's

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>not cute. This is going to be a place where

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>every weekend you'll hear one essential conversation. But I hope

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>that it's also going to be a place with head,

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>heart and soul personal conversational. Yeah, exactly. You might even

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:02.560
