Drive Time Podcast 04-09-2019 - Weapon Profiteering and Seek Nuclear Disarmament

Join Sharjeel Ahmad and Dr. Tariq Bajwa as we discuss ‘Eliminate Weapon Profiteering’ and 'Seek Nuclear Disarmament'

Eliminate Weapon Profiteering

The DSEI (Defence & Security Equipment International) is one of the world's largest arms fairs and will be taking place later this month in London. However, many are unhappy with the UK playing host to a fair that promotes arms deals being made between buyers and sellers. Join us as we discuss the importance of eliminating weapon profiteering if we want to stop the threat of a world war.

Seek Nuclear Disarmament

The USA and Russia account for 92% of all nuclear warheads in the world. Are these weapons used to maintain peace or a monopoly on power? Many are calling for denuclearisation, taking lessons learnt from Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Chernobyl. Join us as we discuss how denuclearisation is not just a choice but a necessity to maintaining peace and order.
