How rich people are now asking tougher questions before giving. Plus cultural differences: are Indians different from Europeans and Americans when it comes to charity? Ram Gidoomal is an entrepreneur who is also involved in charity - he straddles the continents and cultures. And Martin Brookes is chief executive of New Philanthropy Capital which was set up by a group of financiers in the City of London to assess charities on behalf of donors. Plus Wycliffe Muga on a scam involving money and mobile phones in Kenya.
