What do the Charlie Hebdo murders and the rise of the Islamic State owe to Islam? It would be comforting to insist, as many have done, that they owe nothing at all; but author Tom Holland in the inaugural Christopher Hitchens Lecture, argues that the truth is more complex. The best way to combat jihadism, he proposes, is to recognise the central role played by the prophet Muhammad in Islam, and that the Prophet comes in many forms. Tom Holland is an historian and author. Huda Jawad is advisor at the Centre for Academic Shi'a Studies.

It's already clear that for Labour to win the next election the party will need a huge swing. Assume for a moment that the SNP keeps all the seats it won in Scotland on May the 7th. Well, then Labour would need a 12% lead over the Conservatives in England and Wales to win a majority. How do they do it? And what lessons must be learned from the defeat of 2015? Lord Prescott is former Deputy Prime Minister and former Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.

The Scottish journalist, historian and screenwriter George MacDonald Fraser is perhaps best known for being the creator of unlikely Victorian hero Harry Flashman, the central character in a series of twelve books known as The Flashman Papers. Following his death in 2008, MacDonald Fraser鈥檚 children discovered his first attempt at a novel which was, in part, reminiscent of the characters which had populated the stories he would tell them at bedtime. Now the forgotten novel, titled 鈥淐aptain in Calico鈥�, is going to be published for the first time with a foreword penned by his three children. Caro Fraser is author and daughter of Flashman author George MacDonald Fraser. 聽

Many dyslexia charities have supported the use of coloured lenses and filters saying they do help some children who struggle with reading. Liz Hobday and her 11-year-old son Max both have dyslexia. Dr Cathy Williams, senior author of the report, is Consultant Paediatric Ophthalmologist at Bristol Eye Hospital.

What do you think of the new England cricket gear? It seems to be half old-fashioned school jumper and half modern slim-line sportswear. Needless to say it's been the subject of much discussion on Test Match Special from Lords in the last few days. Katie Walker writes about both cricket and fashion.
