The Government has reviewed 150 cases of death or serious harm among people who were claiming benefits.
An investigation by the BBC Shared Data Unit has shown there were 144 internal reviews carried out by the DWP between 2012 and July, 2019 - when Justin Thompson MP, then Minister for Disabled People, Health and Work said an additional six reviews would be “conducted shortly”.
I was always a fan of
deshi products including fabric, motifs, craftsmanship, and artwork. However, when I looked for something new to wear, majority of the times I did not like what was being offered in the market, and this very fact encouraged me to make my own clothes, said a determined Ahmed.
While we know that many designers are influenced by the ongoing trends because sales become easier, when things go viral, Ahmed swam against the tide. I never conformed to styles that were taking the world by storm. I only produced designs that the creative inside me found interesting. From the very beginning my thoughts and ideologies were to revive the old-age customs of the society, to revive artwork, literature etc., which people almost forgot with time. I wanted my fashion label to mirror the classic and the intellectual heritage of the world, reflected Ahmed.

In a scene from Henry Barakat’s 1971 film Ebnati El Aziza (My Dear Daughter), the iconic Egyptian electric guitarist Omar Khorshid plays a slow building improvised solo in the kurd scale on his Fender Stratocaster. Dressed in a black dinner jacket and bow-tie with a slicked back hairstyle and charismatic smile, he stands alone on stage, his shadow extending out behind him onto a dreamlike set.
The camera switches to the enchanted audience watching his show. Legendary actor Rushdy Abaza and the singer Nagat al-Saghira are sitting in the front row. Then the camera zooms in on Khorshid’s distinctive fast-picking technique as he changes tempo and scale.
