Join Sharjeel Sheikh & Dr. Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday's show where we will be discussing: Gambling/ISIS Children

Gambling: A vicious cycle

In a year, gamblers in the UK have lost a total of £14.4 billion. With 340,000 people thought to be problem gamblers and a 114% rise in gambling related hospital cases in 6 years, something needs to be done to tackle this problem sooner rather than later.

ISIS Children: Should they return home?

Reports suggest there are about 60 British children held in North East Syria after fleeing ISIS-held areas – should these children be brought back to the UK and what of the parents who left the UK to fight against the nation?
