Samira Ahmed and Jennie Bond, Nick Ferrari and Peter Owen-Jones debate topical issues.

Samira Ahmed and guests Jennie Bond, Nick Ferrari and Peter Owen-Jones debate topical issues, including do soldiers deserve leniency when convicted of crimes in conflict zones?

Should there be leniency for soldiers who commit crimes in conflict zones?

A British sergeant, known only as Marine A, is awaiting sentence after being convicted of shooting an Afghan insurgent who had been taken prisoner. The chief of the defence staff, General Sir Nick Houghton, has called it a 'heinous' crime and said it would be 'quite wrong' for the armed services to expect special treatment from the law. But some other former army officers  have called for leniency. Major General Julian Thompson, the commander of land forces in the Falklands conflict, says that the unique pressures and stresses of war should be taken into account in sentencing. Falklands veteran Simon Weston joins the debate.

Are we neglecting the countryside?

Prince Charles marked his 65th birthday by speaking out passionately about our attitudes to the British countryside. Acting as guest editor of Country Life magazine, he said: 'The countryside's contribution to the national good has to be cherished and sustained.' Are we neglecting the countryside in favour of cities? The Reverend Peter Owen Jones, a village dweller, shares  Prince Charles's concerns and debates the issue with other members of the panel.

Should we punish ourselves for being selfish? 

Former government minister Ann Widdecombe is not someone you would regard as the shy retiring type. As a longstanding MP, she enjoyed the stage of the House of Commons and since then has become a star act in Strictly Come Dancing and appeared in panto and opera. But now she says we've become too self-centred and wants us all to think about penance and penitence. That's the subject of her new book 'Sackcloth and Ashes'. Sangita Myska interviews Ann for Sunday Morning Live to find out more - and the panel discuss whether the world has become too selfish.
