Gary McKinnon and Syed Talha Ahsan

Nihal asks whether it is unfair to accuse the government of racism over its extradition policy. Plus Dr Ranj Singh talks about his new children's TV programme, Get Well Soon.

Is it unfair to call the government racist over its extradition policy?

Two British men wanted by the US authorities - both suffering from Asperger's - are facing very different treatments.

Syed Talha Ahsan has been extradited to the States - to face the American justice system. Gary McKinnon is - and will remain - in Britain, after the Home Secretary blocked his extradition yesterday.

Campaigners for Ashan say the difference is simple - one is Muslim and one is not. They believe the government has shown discrimination in their treatment of Mr. Ashan. Do you agree? Is this a case of double standards? Pick up the phone and tell NIhal what you think.

After 2 Dr Ranj Singh speaks to us about his new programme on CBeebies called Get Well Soon.
