Baroness Warsi discusses English lessons for Muslim women. Presented by Martha Kearney.

Analysis of news and current affairs, presented by Martha Kearney. Baroness Warsi on English lessons for Muslim women and a report from Finland on classes for migrants.

The Prime Minister, David Cameron, has said Muslim women who fail to improve their English language skills could be deported, in a drive to improve integration. The former Conservative minister, Sayeeda Warsi, welcomes more English classes but tells us some measures stigmatise communities. Tata Steel has confirmed that it is cutting just over a thousand jobs in the UK - We speak to both the Labour Party and the Welsh Secretary. 

And should the police be forced to apologise to Field Marshal Lord Bramall after he was told he would face no action over allegations of historical child sex abuse? We hear about so-called 'scandal-hunting'.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
