thank you, zeinab.nd why is black— lives matter relevant - to our global community, for example in southeast asia, as we now start to see - asian hate attacks. is black lives matter a us—uk issue? duwayne brooks, how would you answer that? well, as i've said, black is deemed anyone with non—white skin, but the slogan, which is a political one, doesn't seem to have the same relevance outside the us—uk corridor, which is a double—edged sword in my opinion. the reason i say this is because without political activism, it has no attraction from the public, but it's the same political activism that is turning people off. there is no question that black people around the world seem to face the same sorts of discrimination, and there is no question that a movement is required to force governments to change legislation. but unless we deal with the high percentage of black on black hatred, black lives matter willjust fade away and life will go back to how it was before the us elections. what carma is asking there

welcome to hardtalk with me, zeinab badawi. withdrawal of us troops from afghanistan later this year after two decades represents a major turning point for the country, especially for afghan women. many believe the western troop presence protected theirfragile rights. my guest is rare in afghan politics. fawzia koofi is the first woman to lead a political party in afghanistan and is part of an afghan delegation in talks with the taliban. yet she is one of their fiercest critics, endures constant intimidation and has survived several attempts on her life. why is fawzia koofi so worried about the future stability of afghanistan and its women? fawzia koofi in kabul, welcome to hardtalk. now, you had a very interesting start in life, if i can put it that way. you were your mother's eighth child. she was desperate for a boy. she didn't want to see you when she gave birth to you and asked for somebody to take you out so you could die in the sun. after hours and hours of screaming, somebody rescues you, takes you back to your mother.

hello and welcome to global questions with me, zeinab badawi.ives matter movement triggered a bout of soul—searching all over the world as governments and citizens examined their attitudes and actions on race and diversity. it's now one year since the death of george floyd, and his killer is behind bars. so, how far have we come in the struggle for racialjustice? that's global questions: what has blm achieved? well, to bring you this addition of global questions, our two panelists and our questioners join us via video link from all corners of the world. let me tell you who's in the hot seat this week giving the answers. 0pal tometi is co—founder of black lives matter, which was set up in the united states in 2013 to fight racism. an american human rights activist, she was the first woman to receive the prestigious international peace honour prize this year. and duwayne brooks is a british conservative campaigner for racial equality. he supports a recent report commissioned by the government here on ethnic disparities. this concluded that social

thank you, zeinab.and paul, my question to you is l if we should put sport - on the international political agenda? paul, again, a very open question there. yeah, i think it is already there. i think it was always there, i mean one of the great myths is that sport and politics can be separated. it may suit governing bodies to make that case, but if you think back to hitler's olympics in the 19305, the boycott of the moscow games, the olympic games, the mexico fist salute and so on, taking the knee now. sport and politics are indivisible and while you wouldn't want necessarily for sport to become purely political theatre, at the same time i think it has such an important place in society and such a role to play that i am glad to see this kind of conspiracy of silence lifting and i'm glad to see athletes realising that they don't have to be silenced by governing bodies and sponsors and so on, and that they can have a voice. we are seeing sport influence huge numbers of people, setting an example. you know
