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 --> 0:00:15.120
<v Speaker 1>to the BBC Prime Ministerial Debate, covering international news, announce

0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:18.640
<v Speaker 1>that the United States has completed its military withdrawal from

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Afghanistan twenty years and reporting on some pretty famous people,

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Ural Highness and Megan Markle. Congratulations to both. Thank you.

0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:31.319
<v Speaker 1>It was thrilling to be in the front row to

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>watch history unfold, even if I did have to get

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:39.480
<v Speaker 1>up at three am most mornings. But all the time

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I was delivering the headlines, I wanted to go further

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>than the news of the day. I wanted to talk

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 1>about the ideas behind it, to spend more time with

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the people shaping our world. And that's what I'm doing

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>here on this podcast from Bloomberg Weekend. I speak with

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:03.440
<v Speaker 1>people like, in terms of political spending, I'm going to

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 1>do a lot less in the future, and why is that?

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:09.680
<v Speaker 1>I think I've done enough? Prime Minister Keir Starmer recognizing

0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>of Palestinian state was in your manifesto. Do you want

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>to be the British Prime Minister who delivers that? I'm

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>clear on our manifesto was clear about our position on

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>recognition cultural figures like Succession creator Jesse Armstrong. You are

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>writing about that world of the super rich again, and

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:30.479
<v Speaker 1>there's a sorry. Well I wondered why I believe I'm

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.759
<v Speaker 1>doing it beause I'm interested in the power, not the money.

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>And Shonda Rhymes, how did you feel about Bridgerton being

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.839
<v Speaker 1>described as woke? I didn't know anybody described it as welke.

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:44.040
<v Speaker 1>The Telegraph called it pandering to woke casting. Well, that's

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.640
