Does the burkini represent Muslim modesty or a menacing symbol? That's the question that's been raging in France over a ban on cover-all beachwear, which, according to local decrees, 'ostentatiously displays religious affiliation'. A picture of a woman being challenged by police officers on a beach in Nice has added fuel to the debate, and a court has suspended the ban in one town while it deliberates. We ask - is it right to ban the burkini?

Islamist militant Ahmad al-Faqi al-Mahdi has pleaded guilty at the International Criminal Court to destroying historic shrines in Timbuktu in Mali. It's the first time the court in the Hague - more often the setting for genocide cases - has tried a case of cultural destruction. It's also the first time a person has pleaded guilty. We ask - should destroying monuments be a war crime?

Naga Munchetty and guests discuss whether faith schools only admit believers, if sexism should be considered a hate crime and the legalisation of medical cannabis.

As part of an education overhaul, prime minister Theresa May has announced the removal of a 50% cap on faith schools admissions, which had kept at least half their places open to children, regardless of the religion or beliefs of their parents. Critics say by allowing the schools to prioritise certain religions they risk entrenching divisions and could promote segregation in an already divided country. Faith schools defend the decision by stating they remain fully committed to making Britain more diverse and tolerant. Will schools being free to select by faith damage Britain? Or is it now the time to abolish the cap?

Racism and homophobia are taken seriously as hate crimes, but sexism is often dismissed as 'banter' or harmless. Now Nottinghamshire Police has become the first force in the country to record harassment of women as a hate crime. The policy was officially launched in mid-July, and now could be taken up by other police forces including Devon, Cornwall, Lincolnshire and Durham. Could this set a precedent for other regions? What's the difference between an admiring glance, and an intimidating stare? And is it the kind of behavior that can be policed?

Taking cannabis for medical reasons should be made legal, says a group of politicians. The All Party Parliamentary Group on Drug Policy Reform wants the Home Office to reclassify herbal cannabis under existing drug laws, putting it in the same category as steroids and sedatives - meaning doctors could prescribe cannabis to patients, and chemists could dispense it. Patients might even be allowed to grow limited amounts of cannabis for their own consumption. At the moment anyone using the drug, even for medical reasons, could be charged for possession. The NHS warns that cannabis use carries a number of risks, including harm to mental health, fertility or unborn babies. The Government has also stated there are no plans to legalise cannabis. But is it time to change how we think about drugs, and move towards a more relaxed attitude like some of our European counterparts? Do the benefits of using cannabis to those suffering from ailments outweigh the risks?
