Do you believe in conspiracy theories?

BBC Asian Network - Nihal, Do you believe in conspiracy theories?

Nihal wants to know if you are in denial if you believe in conspiracy theories?

Are you in denial if you believe in conspiracy theories? Plus it's the last summer cricket panel and Nihal has three guests in the studio discussing the week's cricket fixtures.

At 1, Are in you in denial if you believe in conspiracy theories?

What do you think when you hear that 9/11 was an inside job by the US government? Or that the 7/7 bombs in London weren't carried out by the four Muslim men blamed for the attacks?

Do you think these stories are outlandish lies or do you believe that they are true? 

New research for the Asian Network shows that young people in particular struggle to analyse the credibility of information sources. So should we dismiss conspiracy theories as theories? Are people who deny the facts surrounding events like 9/11 delusional? Or should we consider their alternatives?

At 2, This is the last cricket panel for a while but don't worry we will resurrect it as a treat for all you cricket fans at some point. 

Joining Nihal on the panel is Sam Collins from Crickinfo, Former Pakistani cricketer Nadeem Abassi and Indian cricket fan and Sports presenter for Community Radio station 'Colourful', Preya Aeri.
