Nomia Iqbal asks: Was it right or wrong for Justin Gatlin to be booed? Nomia also speaks to the people behind the Daughters of Bangladesh project.

Nomia asks: Was it right or wrong for Justin Gatlin to be booed? We're asking this after the 100 metres world champion was booed in the final and medal ceremony. Also, Nomia speaks to the people behind the Daughters of Bangladesh project which follows the personal stories of five girls aged between 7 and 15 - the documentary gives an intimate insight into their world, their relationships with their mothers and how factory work shapes their lives. It's Raksha Bandhan today - a day which celebrates the love and duty between brothers and sisters, or even friends with a similar relationship - Nomia asks if people still celebrate in the traditional way or if things are changing. Aftab Pathan, the author of the blog 'Fresh and Fearless', joins Nomia to give tips and pointers to those planning a holiday. Nomia will also be discussing mother tongues and asks if it's rude to speak a language in front of people who don't understand it.
