Should Britain be a safe haven for migrants? Should toddlers be taught about sex?

Sian Williams hosts the ethical debate show. Should Britain be a safe haven for migrants? Should toddlers be taught about sex? Should you always forgive? Plus Andy McNab.

Should Britain be a safe haven for migrants? 

Europe's migrant crisis is escalating. As thousands of migrants camp in Calais, nightly incursions have this week led to the death of a Sudanese man attempting to get to Britain via the Channel Tunnel. Prime minister David Cameron has come under criticism for labelling migrants as a 'swarm' while warning that Britain should be 'no safe haven' for migrants seeking to enter the country. But as the Home Office pledges to spend £7million on fencing at Calais and the bill for Operation Stack tots up, could Britain be more accommodating to those seeking refuge? Is the PM right? Or should Britain be a safe haven for migrants? The panel features journalist and commentator Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, Anglican bishop and broadcaster Bishop Stephen Lowe, writer and broadcaster Christina Patterson and Pastor Clement Okusi, lead pastor of Potters House Church Croydon.

Should toddlers be taught about sex? 

This week a UN goodwill ambassador on sexual health and former Miss Belgium, Goedele Liekens, has made the case for parents to teach sex education to their children by suggesting it would be helpful for children to know the nature of the relationship between Bob the Builder and his business partner Wendy. The 52-year-old psychologist claims that children should be told about sex as soon as they are able to talk and a liberal approach towards early sex education will lead to a more responsible attitude towards sex in the future. But in a world where some think children are already hyper sexualised from an incredibly early age, is it fair to burden them with knowledge about sex so young? Tommy Sandhu takes to the streets of Chelmsford to ask the general public about their views on sex education for toddlers. 

Should you always forgive?
 
Alexander Pope said 'To err is human, to forgive divine', but is forgiveness natural? Sunday 2 August is International Forgiveness Day, a day dedicated to 'celebrating the healing power of forgiveness', but in a world riddled with violence, pain and suffering, is it always possible to forgive? Does absolution abdicate responsibility from the wrongdoer? Christianity and Islam preach forgiveness, but does this kind of religious indoctrination go against fundamental human nature? Should you always forgive? The programme talks to Rev Simon Boxall, the father of Rosimeiri Boxall, the 19-year-old who lost her life in 2008 when a fight with two teenage girls led to her jumping through a window. At the sentencing for the two girls responsible for his daughter's death, Rev Simon extended his forgiveness, despite their lack of remorse. He shares his thoughts with Sunday Morning Live. 

Hardeep Singh Kohli meets bestselling author Andy McNab to discuss his humble beginnings, career in the SAS, confronting torture and death, and what makes him a good psychopath'!
