Terrorist puppet?

Exclusive interview with the Egyptian puppet accused of terrorism; how the controversial quenelle gesture is trending on French social media and the penguin viral dance.

We talk to Abla Fahita, the Egyptian hand puppet and YouTube star investigated for being part of a terror plot. What does this tell us about the current atmosphere in military-run Egypt as thousands are investigated for Brotherhood connections?

We also look at how the quenelle has been trending in social media. The gesture, seen by many as anti-Semitic, has been called a symbol of anti-establishment thinking by the thousands posting images of themselves using it.

And we investigate the latest viral dance craze, the Penguin Dance.

With Matt Danzico and Mai Norman in the studio.
