In the studio we have human rights lawyer Abdurahman Jafar. We were supposed to have Usama Hasan, the new director of City Circle, but he was tied up in Richmond.

We also hear from our science writer Ian Sample and our environment editor John Vidal. Ehsan Masood talks us through the peaks and troughs of Islamic invention and our Europe editor Ian Traynor tells us why the Turks are tearing up hadith.
