Kris phoned in to discuss her views on science during a conversation about gene editing techniques and using animal organs in human.

Kris rang in to say that she believed that we are built in the image of God and that humans are special "because our brains are higher" and that humans are in a different category from animals.

Kris said that she didn't believe we evolved and that the "big bang theory has been disputed."

When Maajid explained what Darwin's theory of evolution Kris said she didn't believe that "because how come the monkeys haven't learnt to drive buses?"

When Maajid asked if Kris was opposed to science she said she wasn't, but the theory of evolution was "making God a liar because he said that he created the world in six days."

Supermarket Tesco has condemned "sickening" online comments about their latest Christmas advert, which featured a Muslim family.

The clip provoked a racist response. Some called it “very wrong”, others promised to boycott the supermarket.

Maajid Nawaz was discussing the backlash when he spoke to a born again Christian who insisted Maajid would be welcome to join him for Christmas lunch.

But when the invitation was requited to Maajid's Eid celebrations, his caller couldn't accept.

He explained: "That's a celebration of something that's wrong. I don't embrace another religious practice.

"I'm sorry, but that would be a sin. Unrepentant sinners categorically go to hell, please do not.

"Hell is a place where Jesus is not, it is literally hell. It is a lake of fire where you will be tormented forever. You will burn but won't be burning up.

"It was not designed for you, it was designed for Satan.

"Hell is place of torment and gnashing of teeth."

Iranian authorities #fundie lbc.co.uk

A leading model in Iran has been forced to publicly denounce herself after being charged with "promoting western promiscuity" for posting pictures online of her without a headscarf.

Elham Arab, wearing a black chador over her head, told a hearing at the Iranian Revolutionary Court that she now regretted entering the fashion business and described it as a "mistake".

Other reports from Iran said the model confessed voluntarily.

She is among a series of models and other prominent figures in the fashion industry caught up in a cyber crackdown by the Tehran authorities, code-named Spider II, against those who post images of themselves on Instagram and other social media sites.

Questioned by the prosecutor during the televised hearing, Ms Arab said: "I think all humans are interested in admiring beauty and becoming famous.

"But they must first consider at what cost and what they will lose in return.

"For an Iranian film star they may not lose much but for a model she will certainly lose her hijab and honour."

In recent years, Iranian women in Tehran especially have increasingly worn the mandatory scarf loosely on their head, drawing criticism from hardliners amid broader tensions within society over the future direction of the country.

Up until the launch of the crackdown at the start of the year, a large number of models and fashion agencies used Instagram to promote themselves.

Among those to be arrested include the top Iranian model Elnaz Golrokh, who has subsequently left Iran and is now based in Dubai.

In a statement issued at the time, Ms Golrokh said: ?Unfortunately for the moment I will not be active in Iran, but I will continue my work outside Iran."

The crackdown on the fashion industry forms part of a wider move by the regime to control online expression in the county, through censorship and filtering of the internet.

In 2014, the authorities arrested a group of young Iranian men and women for an online video of them dancing to Pharrell Williams' song Happy.

Even though the arrests drew widespread criticism, including from the musician himself, those involved were each given suspended sentences of six months' in prison and 91 lashes.

Journalists, filmmakers, writers and activists have also been detained, sentenced or imprisoned.

Steve Hedley #fundie lbc.co.uk

RMT leader Steve Hedley has claimed the Tory government are "murdering" people, then called for them to be "taken out and shot" in an extraordinary LBC interview.

Shelagh Fogarty was clearly taken aback by Hedley's comments, which you can see in the video above.

"I think all the Tories are an absolute disgrace, they should be taken out and shot to be quite frank with you," said Hedley, Assistant General Secretary of the RMT union.
