Activists, athletes and organisers debate the impact of the Commonwealth Games.
In a Birmingham café, influential voices from the city join The Sports Desk panel to discuss the Commonwealth Games.
Aftab Rahman from Legacy West Midlands says the Games have not done enough to embrace Birmingham’s diverse communities.
Geoff Thompson, deputy chair of the Birmingham 2022 organising committee, argues that the Games will showcase the best of Birmingham and benefit the city.
And former Dominica high jumper Brendan Williams argues that the Commonwealth movement can be a unifying force between nations despite its colonial roots.
We also hear from team England boxer Delicious Orie and gymnast Joe Fraser, who will be competing in their home city and activists Mukhtar Dhar and Bishop Desmond Jaddoo.
