Do we need a new national anthem? Who should care for people with Alzheimer's.

Sian Williams and a panel of guests discuss the ethical and religious topics, including whether we need a new national anthem and who should care for people with Alzheimer's.

Do we need a new national anthem? New Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn came under fire this week when he refused to sing the national anthem at the Battle of Britain commemoration service. The Labour Party has since confirmed that he will sing the anthem in future but, as a pacifist republican and a non-believer, should he be expected to? Do the religious and royal elements of the anthem ostracise a portion of the population? Is God Save The Queen the most representative song for modern Britain, or do we need a new national anthem? 
Panel: Shaista Gohir, chairperson of Muslim Women's Network; James Delingpole, journalist and executive editor of Breitbart London; Rev Ann Easter, chaplain to the Queen; Jonathan Bartley, co-director of Ekklesia. 

Does fashion make you feel ashamed of your body? As London Fashion Week begins on Friday, the British fashion industry is facing renewed pressure to ban the appearance of too-thin and unhealthy looking models on the catwalk. France, Spain and Israel are among countries with legislation criminalising the use of models with a BMI under 18, but so far Britain is yet to follow suit. Other critics have attacked fashion magazines and catwalks for not having disabled models on the catwalk and not being truly representative of their customers. Do designers have a responsibility to represent all shapes and sizes? 

Tommy Sandhu takes to the streets of Croydon to ask the public their thoughts on body image and the fashion industry. Joining the panel: Carla Buzasi, fashion journalist, Chelsey Jay, director for Models with a Disability at Models of Diversity; Peter York, writer and style guru. 

Whose responsibility is it to care for people with Alzheimer's? The UK has 850,000 people who live with Alzheimer's and dementia. This figure looks set to increase to one million by 2025. There are 670,000 who care for a family member or loved one living with the disease and, in doing so, save the country £11bn per year. Ahead of World Alzheimer's Day on Monday, we ask whether we are we doing enough for people with Alzheimer's? Or do we expect that families shoulder the burden alone? Joining the panel is Arlene Phillips, choreographer and Alzheimer's Society patron

Leslie Meakin was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's two years ago and his wife Valerie is his primary carer. Asad Ahmad visits them at home and in a dementia day centre in Manchester, which is threatened with cuts. 

Hardeep Singh Kohli meets Warhorse writer and bestselling author Michael Morpurgo to discuss his difficulties with dogma in religion and his new book about the man who could have prevented World War II. 

And, drawing on Kung Fu practice and traditional Buddhist meditation, the world-renowned Shaolin monks from the Song Shang mountain range of China join us in studio to showcase their ancient martial arts.
