An investigation into the death of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is said to show high levels of radioactive material in his body. The Swiss scientists conducting the tests say they cannot be certain that Mr Arafat was poisoned with polonium. As we learn more about the outcome of the investigation we discuss what does what this could mean and where we are with the Middle East peace process?
Also, do need a Muslim cartoon superhero? The home of characters such as Spiderman and Hulk is introducing a new Muslim female character with special powers - a 16-year-old Muslim-American girl named Kamala Khan. Marvel Comics say it is important that their comics 'reflect the ever-changing world that we live in'.
