Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello. I'm Michelle Hussein and for more than twenty years
I was at the BBC presiding over political debates. Welcome
to the BBC Prime Ministerial Debate, covering international news so
that the United States has completed its military withdrawal from
Afghanistan twenty years and reporting on some pretty famous people.

(00:23):
Youural Highness Megan Markel, congratulations to both. Thank you. It
was thrilling to be in the front row to watch
history unfold, even if I did have to get up
at three am most mornings. But all the time I
was delivering the headlines, I wanted to go further than
the news of the day. I wanted to talk about

(00:45):
the ideas behind it, to spend more time with the
people shaping our world. And that's what I'm doing here
on this podcast from Bloomberg Weekend. I speak with people like,
in terms of political spending, I'm going to do a
lot less in the future, and why is that? I

(01:06):
think I've done enough? Prime Minister Keir Starmer recognizing of
Palestinian state was in your manifesto. Do you want to
be the British Prime Minister who delivers that? I'm clear,
and our manifesto was clear about our position on recognition
cultural figures like Succession creator Jesse Armstrong. You are writing
about that world of the super rich again, and there's

(01:26):
a sorry. Well I wondered why I believe I'm doing
it because I'm interested in the power, not the money
and shonder rhymes. How did you feel about Bridgerton being
described as woke? I didn't know anybody described it as woke.
The Telegraph called it pandering to woke casting. Well, that's
not cute. This is going to be a place where
every weekend you'll hear one essential conversation, but I hope

(01:50):
that it's also going to be a place with head,
heart and soul, personal conversational exactly. You might even enjoy it,
So please join me. Listen and subscribe to The Michelle
Hussein Show from Bloomberg Weekend wherever you get your podcasts,
new episodes every Friday morning. You certainly ask interesting questions.
