  The End of Cash?
  In the UK most payments now made do not involve cash. Rather than handing over notes and coins, most transfers are made electronically. South Korea's central bank has a target of eliminating cash by 2020 and many other countries want to reduce the amount of physical currency in circulation as it is quite costly. So is cash going to be a thing of the past? Owen Bennett Jones and his guests discuss the possibility of a truly cashless society. (BBC)

  Inside the Osama Bin Laden Imam School
  All over Pakistan a web of Imam schools are appearing to create Imams that propagate a purist understanding of Islam. Students dedicate eight years of their lives to the seminary after memorising the entire Koran. In return, they achieve ‘Imam’ status.   Mobeen Azhar has been given access inside the controversial Jamia Hafsa madrassa in Islamabad to ask why so many parents are sending their children to these schools and what their children are taught. And, he hears the fears that the teaching the girls receive is simply fuelling a dangerous, fundamental Islamic fervour in the country. Mobeen joins lessons which are a heavy mix of housekeeping, theology, politics and Quranic recitation, and where students are taught that martyrdom should be aspired to and that the Pakistani government should be overthrown.
