Seventeen year old Syrian Nujeen Mustafa's story first came to the world's attention last year when the BBC correspondent Fergal Keane interviewed her as she was trying to cross from Serbia into Hungary. Nujeen has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. She had no formal education in Syria but taught herself English by watching television. Now living in Germany, she's published her story 'Nujeen'.

Chris Graham, a former British Army soldier was diagnosed at the age of 38 with a rare form of Alzheimer's disease that had already killed his father in his forties and put his brother in a nursing home aged 43. Chris has written a memoir 'Five Minutes Amazing'. He and his wife Vicky discuss the impact of the diagnosis on their relationship.

Fashion historian Amber Butchart joins us during London Fashion Week to talk about fashion staples. Today Amber and Pandora Sykes, fashion features editor at the Sunday Times style section, discuss the white shirt.
