BBC Radio 4 - Sunday, Sikh scripture rescue, Patriarch Kirill profile, Muslim footballers during Ramadan

Following last week’s dramatic tale of how some sacred Sikh scriptures were rescued from a gurdwara in Ukraine, Emily Buchanan went to see them in their new home at the  National Sikh Museum in Derby.

Patriarch Kirill is the head of the Russian Orthodox Church who is backing President Putin and supporting the war in Ukraine. He reportedly has historic KGB links and a liking for expensive watches, but what do we really know about him?

There are an estimated 180 Muslim footballers in the Premier League. How are football clubs catering for Muslim players who are fasting during the month of Ramadan?

Presenter: Emily Buchanan
Producers: Dan Tierney and Julia Paul
