World Cup semi-final - where will you be watching the England game?

World Cup semi-final - where will you be watching the England-Croatia game?

As the England football team attempt to reach the World Cup final, Nomia gauges the mood of the nation and asks where you'll be watching the game. She also speaks to newlyweds Varun and Sarika Dewan. A video of Varun's wedding speech went viral after he declared his love for England football manager Gareth Southgate, instead of his new wife. Sticking with football, this week's "What's God Got To Do With It?" debate asks if you'll be praying for an England win. Imam Abdul Basit, Dr Harish Mehra from the Asian Rationalist Society, Sikh Educator's Sukhdeep Singh and Bijal Majithia from EY's Hindu network give their thoughts. Plus, 8 year old yoga prodigy Ishwar "Bendy Boy" Sharma explains how he took up the exercise, and his plans to get more children practising it.
