BAME communities and Covid-19: The human cost

People from BAME communities are significantly more at risk from Covid-19 than white people.

Alex Salmond speaks to Dr Minesh Talati, a grieving son suing the UK Health Secretary over the death of his father; House of Lords campaigner for minority communities Baroness Uddin; and Dabirul Choudhury, a sprightly centenarian raising funds for coronavirus victims both in the UK and in Bangladesh.

Former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond hosts a new political chat program, ‘The Alex Salmond Show’, on RT, where he vows to battle the mainstream media narrative and take the news “out of the Westminster nexus.” ‘The Alex Salmond Show’ will take viewers inside the Welsh, Irish and Scottish parliaments, also looking at the government of Northern Ireland, not forgetting Westminster.
