Investigation into influx of foreign students into Southall, UK links to UK Kashmiri militants and Dubai's debt problems.

This week's investigations include:

DOWN AND OUT STUDENTS IN SOUTHALL

We continue our on-going investigation into concerns over the rise in foreign students coming to the UK, who are often more worried about work than their studies. Last week the programme revealed a threefold rise in the number of students arriving in the UK from India, but with such large numbers coming to the UK many cannot find work to help pay their way. We hear about the pressure put on one of Britain's biggest Asian communities -- Southall, in southwest London -- where students are sleeping rough, and living off charity handouts.

WHO ARE LASHKAR e TAIBA?

One year on since the terrorist attack on Mumbai we explore the well-established links between the UK and the Kashmiri militants Lashkar-e-Taiba, who were responsible for the attack that left 174 people dead, including 9 gunmen.
