	Description:		Adrian Goldberg with cutting edge investigations. Sports scholarships - With universities set to increase tuition fees, an increasing numbers of British students are now trying to win sports scholarships in the USA. But are they getting value for money? A number of agents are demanding upfront fees to arrange scholarships - but a number of parents say they are being made promises that don't materialise and are being forced to pay out thousands of pounds. We talk to the imam under sentence of death because he wanted to debate religion and evolution. The programme investigates the way the extremists are using the concept of Takfir - to denounce someone as a non-believer - as a way to intimidate communities and promote intolerance. And the bumpy journey ahead. Britain's pot holed roads are costing motorists millions of pounds in damage to cars. We reveal that our roads crisis has been aggravated by road engineers who've been using the wrong type of asphalt surfacing on the majority of our roads.
