Should Osama Bin Laden have been given a proper Islamic burial?

Should Osama Bin Laden have been given a proper Islamic burial? Plus yes or no to AV? And the director of Kidulthood talks about his new film Everywhere And Nowhere.

At 1- Should Osama bin Laden have been given a proper Islamic burial? 

What do you think about this? The United States say after the Al Qaeda figure head was shot dead in Pakistan, he was taken to an American Aircraft Carrier and given what the President Obama's counter terrorism advisor John Brennan said was a funeral done in "strict accordance with islamic practise".

He was put in weighted bag, and slipped into the sea but this move has angered many conservative Muslims. What do you think? Does it matter? Does Bin Laden even deserve such a courtesy after the atrocities he committed? 

After 2- We'll be helping you make your mind up about the AV referendum. We'll be speaking to the yes and no camp ahead of the vote on thursday. 

And at 2.30- Director of Kidulthood Menhaj Huda talks about his new film, Everywhere and Nowhere.
