How do listeners choose their baby names?

How do you choose baby names? Do you ask your family, or is there a religious element involved? The new royal baby is expected to be named and the bookmaker's favourite is Arthur. With summer round the corner, our fitness guru Raj Thangvelu gives his top tips on how to get the perfect beach body and answers all your exercise and health questions. Qasa also talks to Krumesh Patel, the first British Asian head coach to win a national title in a mainstream sport in the UK. He manages the Leicester Riders women's basketball team and tells us about the lack of Asians in coaching positions. Plus, the brutal rape and murder of eight-year old Asifa Bano in Indian-administered Kashmir has outraged people across the world. But Professor Sonora Jha, who was abused as a child, says that Asian people should look closer to home, because they're ignoring sexual abuse and misogyny within the community. Also joining the discussion is 'Salma', who says she was abused when she was younger and clinical psychologist Masuma Rahim, who has helped Asians affected by sexual abuse.
