Has multiculturalism done more harm than good to Britain? And does Pakistan need Musharraf? Plus, is it cruel to leave a 14-year-old in charge of a younger child?

At 1- Has multiculturalism done more harm than good to Britain?
Prime Minister, David Cameron says multiculturalism has failed in Britain and that people of different faiths and cultures should be more closely integrated into British society, and has called for a more active, muscular liberalism. Now the definition of multiculturalism is "the peaceful co-existence of several cultures in a single country" - but when you look at some of the northern towns ie. Bradford, Burnley and Oldham which have been hit by race riots, do you think he's right? Has it just led to Asians being ghettoised?

After 2- the former president of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf, has been speaking exclusively to the 大象传媒 Asian Network about his plans to return to the country. Does Pakistan need him - Will he improve Pakistani politics ?

After 2.30 - Is it cruel to leave a 14 year old in charge of a younger child ?
A mother who did just that while she went to the shops has been given a police caution for "cruelty" and has been suspended from work. Do you think there's anything wrong with what she did?
