Should white couples be allowed to adopt Asian children? Plus author Nikesh Shukla joins Nihal in studio and we want your reaction on Roshonara Choudhary's verdict.
At 1, Nihal chairs the debate of the day. And we're asking, 'Should white couples be allowed to adopt Asian children?'
Children's Minister Tim Loughton said there was no reason to stop white couples adopting black or Asian babies. "If it is a great couple offering a good, loving, stable permanent home, that should be the number one consideration," he said. What do you think? Do you think an Asian child having white parents will just grow up confused? What's more important - a loving home, or a child's cultural heritage?
After 2, author Nikesh Shukla joins Nihal in studio to talk about his new book Coconut Unlimited. If you've got questions for Nikesh, get in contact with us.
And later in the hour, 21-year-old Roshonara Choudhry has been found guilty of stabbing former Labour minister Stephen Timms. Choudhry justified the attack as revenge for Stephen Timms voting in favour of the Iraq war. We want to hear your reaction to the story...
