A review of horror film The Wolfman; a new TV documentary about Muslim extremism; Neil MacGregor on the political row between the British Museum and Iran.

Rachel Cooke reviews new film, The Wolfman, starring Benicio Del Toro as a haunted English aristocrat.

In the bicentenary of Chopin's birth, pianists Stephen Hough and Ingrid Fliter discuss performing his works.

Journalist Peter Taylor's three-part TV series investigates the terrorist threat from young Muslim extremists radicalised on the internet. Describing them as 'Generation Jihad', he unravels the history - from the Rushdie affair to Afghanistan - that has set them on this path, explores al-Qaeda propaganda distributed internationally online, and examines Prevent, the British government's policy to counter radicalism in the UK.

Neil MacGregor responds to news that Iran has cut ties with the British Museum following the row over the Cyrus Cylinder, a cuneiform clay tablet which is one of the most important objects in the Museum's collection.
