Prison yoga, African art & children's word of the year

Guest editor: Imam Monowar Hussain MBE.

We continue with our series of guest editors today - a chance to hear new stories and get a different perspective on the place we all live.

Today it's Imam Monowar Hussain, an MBE and former High Sheriff of Oxford.

Hear how a prisoner's life was transformed by an Oxford trust that uses the power of yoga and meditation to rehabilitate inmates.

Find out about the incredible influence African culture has had on art at Oxford's One World Family Festival.

Plus, forget the word of the year - what's the CHILDREN'S word of the year? Our youth correspondent Dan Freeman has been finding out.
