Is it right that a coroner has stopped Muslims and Jews from getting priority for quick burials? A coroner in north London has decided burial requests will not be prioritised by religion. Also Dr Asim Shahmalak talks to us about helping acid attack victims in Pakistan through reconstructive surgery. Then Nomia is joined by Selwa Hussein - who is thought to be the first woman in the UK who has an artificial heart. After that we discuss whether British Asians have a preference of boys over girls when it comes to having children. And Dr Sheila Kanani talks about a new BBC documentary called 'Wonders of the Moon', which explores how the monthly cycle of the moon shapes life on Earth.
