We hear from a leading Islamic scholar and a Conservative critic of the former Foreign Secretary. A German woman and her partner are jailed for prostituting her young son to paedophiles. North Korea has not done enough to denuclearize according to a senior US official. But could the regime eventually end up attacking the US?
