How far would you go to defend your property?

How far would you go to defend your property? Plus the latest on Salman Khan's court case, after the Bollywood star was convicted and jailed for animal poaching in India.

How far would you go to defend your property? A man has died after he suffered fatal injuries while apparently committing a burglary at a house in South London. A 78 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. After that we're joined by our entertainment reporter Haroon Rashid for the latest on Salman Khan's court court. The Bollywood superstar has been sentenced to five years in jail for poaching rare antelope back in 1998. Then Nomia looks at the issue of food appropriation after a Malaysian-born MasterChef contestant was eliminated from the show when judges criticised her chicken rendang dish because it was not crispy enough. This caused people to flock to social media in fury saying the judge's knowledge of cuisine from around the world is limited. Also actor and comedian Nimisha Odedra, who plays Saira in Man Like Mobeen, talks to us about her involvement in new Radio 4 show 'Sketchtopia. And Nomia is joined by student Rupinder Kaur to talk about the pressure she feels being Asian and balancing western culture.
