Bobby Ball's Faith; France and Islam; Labour Anti-semitism Report

Emily Buchanan takes a look at the ethical and religious issues of the week

Following the sad news that comedian Bobby Ball died this week Emily Buchanan hears the little known story of how a knock on his dressing room door in 1986 led to him becoming a born-again Christian and how his faith transformed his life.

After the attack on the Church in Nice Emily Buchanan gets analysis from three journalists on the fraught nature of relations between France and Islam both home and abroad. She is joined by John Laurenson, Nabila Ramdani and Dorian Jones.

And the President of the Board of Deputies Marie van der Zyl responds to the EHRC report into antisemitism in the Labour Party and talks to Emily about rebuilding trust with British Jews.
