Is it ever acceptable to serve meat and alcohol on gurdwara premises? Plus Noman Benotman from Quilliam speaks to Nihal and a Corrie actress talks about her new play.

At 1, 'Is it ever acceptable to serve meat and alcohol on gurdwara premises?'
A campaign's been launched to stop what many people see as this violation of the basic principles of Sikhism. There's already been protests at gurdwaras in Edinburgh and Essex and they've now stopped hosting parties on their premises. But its claimed there's at least another 15 temples across the UK that are serving meat and alcohol on a regular basis. So can this ever be justified? Does it matter if this is happening at a hall next to the temple and not in the temple itself?

At 2, Noman Benotman, a senior analyst at Quilliam and formerly a leader of the Libyan Jihadist Fighting Group (LIFG) which worked alongside Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and Sudan.

At 2.30, Nihal will be talking to the director and former Corrie actress of new production Gandhi and Coconuts.
