Reporter Trevor Barnes speaks to survivors of the Srebrenica Genocide at a special anniversary event.

Is there anyone out there? Leading theologian David Wilkinson discusses his new book on faith and extra terrestrial life.

From the streets of Cairo we hear how Copts, Muslims and those of no faith are faring under the current political unrest. We also speak to Egyptian writer Tarek Osman about whether the Muslim Brotherhood is now a spent force.

As England and Australian cricketers step up to the crease , we speak to Canon Max Wigley, chaplain at Yorkshire county cricket club about the kind of spiritual support he offers .

And as law makers in Ireland vote to legalise abortion under certain conditions for the first time, we speak to religious correspondent Patsy McGarry about where this leaves the Catholic church there.
