Should knife crime sentences be tougher?

They’re easy to buy, people carry them to feel safe and many know someone who's been attacked with one. Newsbeat's been asking about knives and the survey's turned up some shocking results.

We questioned 500 people aged 13 to 19 in five knife crime hotspots - London, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and Thames Valley.

One in 10 teenagers there told Newsbeat they have to carry a weapon to feel safe. But more than half of the people questioned said they are worried about other teens carrying a knife when they go out.

And nearly half felt the police weren't able to protect them from violent crime.

So what's the answer? Should there be tougher sentences for people caught carrying one? Or do you, or someone you know, take one out with you because it makes you feel safer on the street?

Do you believe in witchcraft?

In the last six months, as many as 150 elderly men and women accused of witchcraft have been lynched in Kenya, according to local officials.

Many were killed in gruesome ways, including being buried alive, by members of their own families and communities. 

Similar "witch" killings have occurred in recent months in Nigeria and the Central African Republic.

The BBC's Odhiambo Joseph, who personally witnessed the burning alive of five people accused of being witches in western Kenya, will be taking questions from you on Africa Have You Say.

Has witchcraft affected you? Have you ever been accused of it? Is it mere superstition or a part of life? What's behind the increase in the killing of alleged witches? What stance should African governments take on this?

Many will be travelling to Accra especially for the visit, coming from the US, Nigeria and Kenya, the home of the President's father. 

Will you be there to greet the Obamas? Are you a Ghanaian hoping to catch a glimpse of America's first black President? Or are you travelling from afar to witness this historic moment? What is your message for Mr Obama? What can he do for Africa?

Are overweight stars setting a bad example?

Overweight celebrities are making dangerous weight gain appear acceptable, a medical expert is warning. Do you agree?

Professor Michael McMahon says the higher profile of larger role models such as James Corden, Eamonn Holmes, Ruth Jones and Beth Ditto means obesity is now perceived as 'normal' by the public.

A survey of more than 2,000 individuals for Nuffield Health found many obese people are apathetic about their weight gain with almost one in five not contemplating doing anything to lose weight.

But former Hollyoaks soap star Mikyla Dodd, who previously weighed 25 stone (159kg), said larger stars showed overweight people they can be successful and motivate them to do something about it. 

What do you think of the survey’s findings? Are there more overweight celebrities nowadays? Do larger stars inspire overweight people? Or are they setting a bad example?

Is it right to mix religion and healthcare? 

Doctors are demanding that NHS staff be given a right to discuss spiritual issues with patients. Is it right to mix religion and healthcare? 

Doctors will tell the British Medical Association conference this week that staff should not be disciplined as long as they handle the issue sensitively. The doctors who are behind the motion are unhappy about the guidance that has been issued. 

Last year community nurse Caroline Petrie was suspended by North Somerset NHS Trust after offering to pray for a patient, although the 45-year-old was later allowed to return to work. 

Terry Sanderson, president of the National Secular Society, said it is wrong to mix religion and health care. "The risk is that it makes patients feel uncomfortable."

Do you work for the NHS or have you used its chaplaincy service? Does religion have a role to play in healthcare or should the two be kept completely separate? Should NHS staff be disciplined if they sensitively offer to pray for patients?

Moon landing: How do you feel about it ??

On 20 July, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin touched down in their Eagle landing craft in the Sea of Tranquility on the Moon's surface.
