William Crawley presents the religious news and current affairs stories of the week.

The documentary maker Mobeen Azhar discusses his new BBC 3 documentary 'Hometown' which takes a look at the crimes of some young Asian men in the North of England and explains why many in the community turn a blind eye to illegal activities.

The Democratic party leadership debates start this week when 20 candidates will rally for position over two nights in the USA. Sarah Posner tells William which of the candidates have evoked their religious beliefs. 

Why is the Alliance of Religions and Conservation (ARC) closing after 23 years? Martin Palmer, the man who has run the ARC from the moment it was initiated by the Duke of Edinburgh in 1986, discusses the organisation's pioneering work in bringing religions across the globe together to tackle climate change.

The Catholic Church is to consider allowing married men to become priests in remote areas of South America. William talks to Joanna Moorhead about the implications of this announcement.
