Qasa wants to know how important your pets have been for you during lockdown.

As Bangladesh celebrates its 50th year since independence from Pakistan, every day this week, we’ll be playing an episode from our documentary ‘Bangladesh at 50’.

Qasa explores the challenges around poverty being faced by Bangladeshis in the UK, with many living in low income households. But what are the prospects for the community today and is there a sense of optimism amidst a backdrop of financial uncertainty?

Plus, Abdal Ullah, the founder of British Bangladeshi Power and Inspiration 100, speaks to us about iconic landmarks, including the London Eye, lighting up in red and green to mark 50 years since Bangladesh’s independence.

And Qasa is joined by the final ‘Ladies First’ panel, to get its perspective on the week’s news stories.
