The British government says it will widen existing law to include crimes motivated by religious hatred. The move aims to protect British Muslims from reprisals after the attacks on the US. Also on the programme: senior Christian and Muslim leaders in Rome to discuss threat to international security; new laws on circumcision in Sweden have outraged Jewish and Muslim communities and scientists in the US have found that prayer may increase pregnancy.
