  Exchanges at the Frontier - 2: The Search for Hunger Genes  (BBC)

  Most people tend to overeat given a generous supply of appetising food, but some don’t put on weight while others do. Sadaaf Farooqi, professor of Metabolism and Medicine at Cambridge investigates the genetics of obesity, the brain’s response to food and how hormones influence metabolism and weight. Many myths surrounding weight gain such as a slow metabolism or, it’s my genes doctor, turn out to be true. So should we be more compassionate to people who struggle with their weight?  In front of an audience of London Sixth formers at the Wellcome Collection she tells Claudia Hammond how only eating an extra slice of cucumber per day could cause an increase in weight.

  America's Mosques - A Story of Integration Episode 1 of 2

  America’s ‘Mother Mosque’, the oldest purpose-built Mosque in the US, is in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Tharik Hussain joins the congregation - most of them second or third generation Syrian and Lebanese Muslims - as well as newer arrivals, for prayer and meets members of the ‘Sunday schools’ and weekday classes.

  Unknown to many Americans, there is an older Mosque. Hussain seeks it out on the streets of New York City and joins a tea dance specially put on for him. Many of its members are descendants of the Lithuanian Tartar Society that founded it, and their affection for the building is as much about this ancestry as anything else. Quintessential ‘Brooklyners', they express some fear of being ‘discovered’ even while wanting recognition as part of New York and America’s religious heritage.
