  Speaker 26: and bombing, UN human rights investigators have published a report
• 23:07
  Speaker 26: providing strong evidence of widespread sexual violence against civilians and
• 23:11
  Speaker 26: prisoners of war held by the Russian Federation. The report
• 23:14
  Speaker 26: alleges more than 1,000 incidents since the start of the
• 23:18
  Speaker 26: full-scale Russian invasion in February 2022. The youngest documented rape
• 23:23
  Speaker 26: survivor was a four-year-old girl and the oldest an 82-year-old woman.

• 23:39
  Speaker 4: interrogation in the cells, in the shower, even before release
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: or exchange. And we documented the same practices occurring across facilities. Rape,
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: gang rape, beatings while nude, electric shocks or beatings of
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: the genitals, sexual degradation, and prolonged nudity and forced nudity.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: These violations involved personnel from multiple Russian state structures, including
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: armed forces.
• 24:10
  Speaker 26: The investigator noted that almost three-quarters of the Ukrainian prisoner
• 24:14
  Speaker 26: of war survivors and almost half of civilian detainee survivors
• 24:18
  Speaker 26: experienced sexual violence more than once. The UN report documents
• 24:22
  Speaker 26: cases at over 164 official and unofficial facilities in every
• 24:27
  Speaker 26: region of occupied territory of Ukraine and across 25 regions
• 24:31
  Speaker 26: of the Russian Federation. The publication covers sexual violence against
• 24:35
  Speaker 26: Ukrainian and Russian prisoners of war, along with civilian detainees
• 24:39
  Speaker 26: held by both sides. The UN migration agency IOM has
• 24:44
  Speaker 26: warned that its aid pipeline for Sudan could start to
• 24:46
  Speaker 26: run out of vital relief supplies within two weeks. The
• 24:50
  Speaker 26: shared mechanism helps humanitarian organisations deliver critical shelter, non-food items
• 24:55
  Speaker 26: and hygiene kits to people in need across Sudan. Since
• 24:59
  Speaker 26: July 2023, it has reached more than 2.8 million people
• 25:03
  Speaker 26: via a network of more than 100 registered partners. IOM
• 25:07
  Speaker 26: said that shelter provided through the pipeline will run out
• 25:10
  Speaker 26: in two weeks without further funding support. The agency needs
• 25:14
  Speaker 26: $ 15 million to sustain the mechanism for 12 months and
• 25:17
  Speaker 26: support 305,000 people. Across Sudan today, 8.6 million people are
• 25:23
  Speaker 26: internally displaced and they live alongside 4.9 million returnees amid
• 25:28
  Speaker 26: ongoing heavy fighting between government forces and paramilitary rebels. who've

  Speaker 23: .
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: .
• 37:10
  Speaker 23: .
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: .
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: Ladies and gentlemen, it's a great time for us
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: to invite Sonny into the show.
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: What's up, Sonny?
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: I'm good, Ronnie. How are you?
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: You good?
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: We're doing good, brother.
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: We're doing good.
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: And keeping track of all the stuff.
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: Going on out there in the public.
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: And we're seeing the instance where a lot of these stars,
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: these singers that are on stage, they're being forced to
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: explain their political stances in so many different instances. And
• 37:37
  Speaker 8: we've seen it with Diljit Dosanjh, and we're seeing it
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: right now with Ed Sheeran. You know, what do you
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: think about all this stuff?
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Listen, I am a product of 50 years on
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: this planet, and I wasn't around when music was political.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: There was movement based around making a statement through peace
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: and music. Woodstock is famously known for this, right? And
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: how many artists join that movement there trying to voice
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: their opinions on politics? you know not following the government's
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: rhetoric to what was going on then and then we've
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: seen how music also helps continents and we've seen that
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: with Live Aid so there's a lot of in music
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: and the messages that, especially from America, you know, artists
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: who have taken on these big political issues with music.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: So I'm not surprised that music isn't being used or
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: these artists aren't being asked to come forward with their
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: platforms to make their statements or sometimes that is overlooked.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: If you look at the Oscars, for example, famously the biggest,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: you know, actor of his time and respected to this day,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: you know, it was presented with an Oscar and he
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: sent a Native American up there to receive that Oscar
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: for him. And, you know, Marlon Brando didn't have to
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: do that, but he did. He used his position and said,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: here you go, this is the biggest stage that I
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: can provide with you. Go and make your plight known
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: to the world. Do you know what I mean? And so,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: in sports, we've seen, you know, when we see athletes
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: raise their fists trying to fight the oppression that they
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: were facing in the United States. So, when you see
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: you know, like this massive justice that people are calling
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: for and they are looking at their artists that they
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: respect and love to come forward and say something and
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: seeing if they're in line with the same kind of
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: worldview that they have, I'm not surprised that people like
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Ed Sheeran who want to stay neutral and not say anything,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: but at the same time, then put in a position
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: that you have to say something, say nothing is in
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: itself a statement. Do you know, do you get where
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: I'm coming from? And when you ask for that, I
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: guess you have to be, you have to be, you know,
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: comfortable saying, with who you are when you make these statements.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: And there are some artists like, you know, John Lennon,
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: you know, he's famously, he's taken on and he was
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: followed by the FBI because of his, you know, political
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: views and what have you. So I'm not surprised that
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: artists And their platforms are used to make statements. And
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: we've seen with Dajid Hassan, you know, who's entertaining on
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: a family sort of level. And he's not to be
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Moustapha where he would be controversial and say what he
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: needs to say, but he's trying to be neutral across
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: the board. But then when he's forced to be put
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: in that position, He comes forward and says there is
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: an alternative. And then, you know, like we mentioned in
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: one of our shows, which you will hear in the future,
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: that his last sort of act when he was on
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: stage He sings the song that I am Punjabi and
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: I am Punjab, I think, or I am Punjabi. And
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: then he gets the Gurmukhi flag, which is the Punjabi alphabet,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: and he waves it side to side. And I'm like,
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: if there was ever going to be a united moment
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: for that community, for the Punjabi community, I think that's it.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: without anyone who believes in whatever they are, if you're Hindu, Punjabi, Muslim,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: or if you are even from a different background and
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: you married into the Punjabi culture, or you are someone
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: who's exploring it, that was the most united moment that
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: you can have because it was all about keep the
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: language alive without killing people. If you kill a language,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: you kill a big chunk of that culture. So let's
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: keep the language alive, keep the music alive, keep the
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: poetry alive. So he had the Gurumukhi flag. So when
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: you see Ed Sheeran, like, you know, not standing up
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: and him losing his entire support band and also getting criticized,
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: especially where he comes from, which is Ireland, which has
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: had a lot of political upheaval, especially with the United Kingdom.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: So I guess there's a lot of this, like, how
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: can you not stand up for These individuals, why can't
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: you make a statement when you could for Ukraine? So
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: there's all this kind of back and forth, but he's
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: made a statement. You know, if you want to clip
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: it here, what he says, you can, you know, feed
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: that into this sort of clip here. And after his statement,
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: we find that, you know, is this enough for him
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: to curb the backlash or as everyone's been saying in
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: the last week, he's a coward and he just, catering
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: to money and being bullied by rich people and controlling
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: the narrative of what we can and can't say, and
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: that in turn takes away the freedom of speech which
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: America is so proud of.
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: And it puts him in a position that I think
• 42:57
  Speaker 8: he obviously is not comfortable in, which is you know,
• 43:01
  Speaker 8: by his own admission, he wants to stay out of
• 43:03
  Speaker 8: this stuff. And because of it being pulled in, you know,
• 43:08
  Speaker 8: in front of him, he has to address it. And
• 43:10
  Speaker 8: because of that, now he has to politicize his stance.
• 43:14
  Speaker 8: And for an artist like Ed, who has pretty much
• 43:16
  Speaker 8: stayed in the kind of soft, safe spaces of the
• 43:20
  Speaker 8: political spectrum, this has.
• 43:23
  Speaker 7: Got to be kind of jarring for him. He's being forced.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: To put this out there. But But what I feel
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: is that it's not like he hasn't been political in
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: the past. So why can't you just make a decision
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: on this one? Or if you are sort of like
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: want to stay on the fence for whatever reason without
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: offending anyone. But when Ukraine was, you know, being bombed
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: by and still is by Russia, He was quite, you know,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: he went to that rally. He went and sang on
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: those stages. So that is all political. That was nothing
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: to do with just peace and love. That was him
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: making a statement, right? By turning up, just by just
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: turning up. And I don't know if someone would say,
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, you know, I come from
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: a background of people who have sacrificed their land, their
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: status to, you know, speak for people who can't. I'll
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: give you an example of my buddy daddy, my mom's
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: dad in India. There was this guy. There's sort of
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: a caste system that still overshadows the Sikh community. And
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: there was this lower caste who were then given by
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: the government land. And there were the other, you know,
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: like the other class, which are the judge and the landowners,
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: they were like, well, we're not going to let them
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: take over this land, this, that, the other. My grandfather
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: was a Sarpanch, which sort of is the mayor of
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: that village.
• 44:50
  Speaker 22: Right.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: And he was a turban-wearing Sikh, and he was also
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: in the military. He was invited to the United Kingdom
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: by the military and said, look, can you come to
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: England and help us build our country after the war?
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: So when he was in Punjab and he was the sarpanch,
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: he literally said to them all, you come and I
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: will mark what your land is given to you by
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: the government, and I will stand here and see who's
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: going to stop me giving it to you. And he
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: stood up for these people. And that was at the
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: risk of his family being attacked by these individuals. But
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: because he was so respected and they didn't want to
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: go up against him, no one said anything to these individuals.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: To this day, when I walk into that village, and
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: we're talking over 70 years now, I walk into that
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: village and people still know me from my grandfather. They say, oh,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: that's Tarouk's grandson. Because, yes, your grandfather gave my family
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: this piece of land and now look who built it.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: So I guess if I was Ed Sheeran and as
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: soon as they said that this guy's got to come off,
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: I'd have cancelled the tour. And I said, well, we'll
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: go to a smaller venue. We'll do more venues in
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: smaller venues that will accept freedom of speech. And that's me.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: Because if I was in Ed Sheeran's place, I already
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: made my billions or my millions. I'm still making money.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: You know what? I'm not going to get pushed around.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: It's that simple. You can't tell me what to do
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: on my stage with my people who are better to
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: come forward. That's my stance. And I'll be honest with you,
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: if I was that rich, I could... I would have
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: literally taken it on the road and I would have
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: done it back to basics if I had to, just
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: so that we had the freedom of highlighting issues that
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: individuals feel passionate about. And that goes both ways, by
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: the way. You know what I mean? It should go
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: both ways, that if people are feeling passionate about the
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: other side, they should not be stopped to share their views.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? So therefore, I can't say
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: that it should just be for Palestine or Israel. It
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: should be for both. If they have opposing views, they
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: shouldn't be stopped from what they want to say And
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: the way he said that statement, the, I forgot the
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: gentleman's name, the rapper, I think he was very articulate
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: and he said, I mean, like his statement was so,
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: I think most people think even some Jewish members actually
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: feel this way, criticizing Israel and the government doesn't mean
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: that we are criticizing the Jewish religion, but that's what's
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: getting conflated here. And from where I'm sitting, if you're
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: criticizing the Punjab or, uh, or the government in Punjab,
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: and that's supposed to reflect the whole of Sikhism, I
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: think there's a lot of people would actually argue, isn't
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: that different to how people practice their religion? You know
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: what I mean? And Sikhi, and I think most religions,
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: aren't a monolith. They have a different way of preaching
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: from where you're from.
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: Sonny, this is going to be a topic that I
• 47:45
  Speaker 8: think that is going to evolve. And I think that
• 47:48
  Speaker 8: a lot of artists in the future are going to
• 47:49
  Speaker 8: be forced to make sure that their messages are clear.
• 47:54
  Speaker 8: I feel that's coming. And it's very hard to stay
• 47:57
  Speaker 8: detached from the topics going forward because I think that
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: the audience kind of wants to know where you stand.
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: And so, you know, I'm sure I'll pull you back
• 48:06
  Speaker 8: in on the next instance this comes up out there
• 48:08
  Speaker 8: again because it's a fascinating and very, very evolving topic.
• 48:12
  Speaker 8: Dynamic out there when it comes to artists and the
• 48:15
  Speaker 8: spectrum of conversation.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I'll be honest with you, after this airs,
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: people might be saying, you can't say this, I'm always
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: up for learning. This is a good thing about my generation,
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Generation X. We're here to learn and we're here to
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: open discussion, have debates. We don't have to fall out
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: on different points of views. And I'm always up to
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: just evolve. And if we can do that and go
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: back to that way of thinking and have debates, I
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: think we'll get a lot further as we have done.
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: I mean, come on.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: I've been around for 50 years. I didn't have mobile phones.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: I used to make phone calls from a paid phone, dude.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: And you know what I mean? And now I've got
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: a computer in my hand that's more powerful than the
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: computer that took us to the moon. So when we
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: work together, we do amazing things. Do you know what
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: I mean?
• 49:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, brother. Absolutely. Sonny, thanks for hanging out with
• 49:08
  Speaker 7: me today.

  Speaker 20: Born in 1996, Wazir built his reputation behind the scenes,

  Speaker 20: producing massive tracks like The Last Ride for Siddhu Musawala,

• 52:10
  Speaker 20: Mercedes W124, a powerful metaphor for his creative vision blending
• 52:15
  Speaker 20: heritage with innovation. Wazir's sound is uniquely his. Traditional Punjabi
• 52:20
  Speaker 20: folk melodies layered over hard-hitting hip-hop beats crafted with precision
• 52:24
  Speaker 20: and purpose. Most recently, his song Notorious is being hailed
• 52:28
  Speaker 20: as a standout piece that really captures his artistry. Wazir
• 52:32
  Speaker 20: Bhattar isn't just making music, he's building a movement rooted
• 52:36
  Speaker 20: in cultural memory, technical mastery, and authenticity.
