Join Faheem Nasir, Usman Ali Anjum, Qamar Zafar & Zafar Ahmad for Thursday’s show where we will be discussing : 'Blood Batteries: how ethical is green energy?’ and ‘Education: Empowering Every Girl to Learn’ Blood Batteries: how ethical is green energy? From phones to electric cars, the green future runs on cobalt — but in Congo, its extraction often means child labour, poverty wages, and ruined landscapes. With new quotas replacing export bans, the question is whether this will finally protect people and planet, or simply enrich corporations. Join us as we explore who really pays the price for our green future, and what fairer alternatives might look like. Education: Empowering Every Girl to Learn Join us as we explore how education unlocks opportunity for every girl, breaking cycles of poverty and driving equality. We will look at how learning builds confidence, strengthens communities, and transforms futures, while highlighting the challenges, possibilities, and urgent need to ensure no girl is left behind. Guests: Dr Carol Fuller is a first-generation academic and Professor of Education and Social Justice whose work challenges the inequalities that limit women and girls’ lives Ms Justine Sass - Chief of Education for Inclusion and Gender Equality at UNESCO Ylva Odenbring - Professor of Education, University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Producers : Zohra Mobashir and Noreen Niaz
