Nearly a quarter of Muslims over 50 say they have bad or very bad health. What's more that rises to 40 per cent among Muslim women over 65. New research also suggests that many Muslims live in areas of deprivation. We'll be looking into a report released this week by the Muslim Council of Britain about whether British Muslims are getting a raw deal. Also Manny hears about why India’s rickshaw drivers are being given lessons in respecting women. Authorities in the Indian capital, Delhi, have made it compulsory for all taxi and auto-rickshaw drivers to attend "gender sensitisation" classes where they are taught how to ensure the safety of women passengers and respect them. We’ll be speaking to women from the Asian community in the West about how they feel they are looked after on public transport.
