Is climate change the world's biggest moral problem? Earlier in the week, Pope Francis blamed human greed and selfishness for damaging the planet - and he has called on everyone to take action to stop climate change. This followed world leaders establishing a plan to phase out the use of fossil fuels by the end of the century at the 41st G7 summit. But are green issues more important and immediate than other worldly ills like poverty, wars and conflicts or human trafficking?

Panel:
Catholic writer and environmental campaigner Mark Dowd
Climate change activist Rev Peter Owen Jones
Director of the British Hindu Academy Jay Lakhani
Climate change cynic and journalist James Delingpole
Evangelical Alliance spokesperson Chine Mbubeagbu

British history: positive or negative? This week marks the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. Critics of the celebrations say the glorification of battles of the past vanquishes our dreams of a peaceful future and does not reflect modern British values. But can we separate our sense of history from our British identity, and how much does the average Brit really care about the details of our past? Tommy Sandhu takes to the streets of Wolverhampton to find out.

Panel:
Historian and writer Kate Williams
Deputy editor of Muslim website Five Pillars Dilly Hussain

Has yoga lost its soul? Sunday 21st June is the first United Nations International Day of Yoga. Proposed by India and endorsed by the United Nations, it signifies acknowledgement of yoga's global growth. Some traditional practitioners of yoga believe the global monetisation of yoga trivialises the spiritual roots of the practice, while critics of yoga say it is incompatible with other faiths and warn against the harmful elements of meditation, transformation and worship.

Panel:
Indian Minister for Yoga Shripad Naik
Yogi, Sanskritist and classical Indian scholar Dr James Mallinson
Former Hindu and Orthodox Christian convert and academic Dr Christine Mangala Frost
