The Mishal Husain Show

“Bridgerton” has been a global television phenomenon for more than six years, thanks in part to British actor Adjoa Andoh.

In this conversation with Mishal Husain, Andoh takes us behind the scenes of the hit show and shares how she has shaped Lady Danbury over the years, from her backstory to jewelry and even her hats.

Tucker Carlson was one of Donald Trump’s most prominent allies when he campaigned for re-election and through his first year back in the White House.

The US-Israel war with Iran, however, marked a decisive split between the two men. Carlson, a right-wing media personality, now argues that Trump has abandoned his “America First” agenda and allowed Israel to drive US foreign policy.

In this conversation, Carlson tells Mishal Husain about how he advised against starting the war with Iran. He also talks about his faith in Vice President JD Vance and his belief that feminism has exploited women in the workplace.

Andy Burnham appears set to walk into 10 Downing Street and take power as the UK’s latest prime minister.
Behind the mid-term departure of Keir Starmer has been, at least in part, the rise of Reform UK leader Nigel Farage. Farage himself has dominated the headlines this week, amid an investigation and his decision to re-contest his parliamentary seat.
In this conversation with Mishal Husain, longtime UK political commentator Steve Richards examines Burnham’s record and looks at what he stands for. They also discuss how the new Labour leader might deal with his own party and the popularity of Farage.
