Presented by Jane Garvey. Thousands of young British women living in the UK decide to convert to Islam - what's the appeal? There's hope for a better quality of life for women with ovarian cancer. Clinical trials continue in the UK after tests in the US found that the drug Avastin halted the progression of the disease for 4 - 6 months.
