India's national anthem

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

Should the national anthem in India be played in cinemas before a film? The country's Supreme Court has ruled that the anthem must be played in every cinema before a film is screened. We'll hear from people across the country about what they think of the ruling. Plus- we'll have a conversation around Donald Trump's tweet suggesting punishment for those who burn the American flag. We'll also look at a report examining the impact sleep deprivation has on business. We'll talk to people affected by a lack of sleep and ask what can be done to help them.
