Synopsis

At 1, Nihal chairs the debate of the day. He wants your opinon on this - was Jazzy B right to wear a jacket saying "Guns and Guts are made for Jatts" at the London Mela?

One of the big stars at the Asian Network main stage at Sunday's London Mela was Jazzy B. He was seen wearing a green jacket, with the words "Guns and Guts are made for Jatts" embroidered in gold on the back.

What do you think of this? Is it offensive? Glorifying guns and bigging up the fact he's a Jatt? Is that appropriate for a mainstream Bhangra artist? What do you find more offensive, the guns or the caste stuff?

After 2, Nihal talks to Saira Khan about the challenges she faced when she went to Pakistan to adopt. And later, in the hour, we're asking, should you change your appearance for your wedding if your mother in law asks you to?
