Naming the 'Islamic State Group', and America In Black and White

Over to You

Available for over a year

Earlier this week the UK prime minister called upon the BBC to stop using the term Islamic State when referring to the jihadist group which controls large swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq. We hear from listeners who believe the term Daesh should be used instead. Also, listener Helen Lauer is putting her three questions in three minutes to the journalist behind America In Black and White: a four-part documentary series about racial prejudice in the United States. BBC Washington Correspondent, Rajini Vaidyanathan is in the hot seat.
