Bassem Youssef
I like your podcast and interviews generally, sometimes they are hard to listen to, but the interview with Bassem Youssef was delightful.
Shocked.
Dear Stephen
I was shocked today to hear you saying that spain had one of the less effective approach against covid when today England has the highest death toll in europe! 51 000 . By the way i am french not spanish.
Incompetence
Terrible interview with Rothman about Israel’s judicial reforms today where Sackur was clearly at loss a to counter Rothman on the same intellectual level. The British arrogance…
A discussion about democracy as the crux argument used by both sides in this problem would have been very interesting. Rothman tried to bring Sackur onto that terrain. But Sackur showed his incompetence about technicalities in Israelian law and preferred talking about the demonstrations…
Very representative of BBC World service nowadays, I am sad to say.
