BBC World Questions is in Copenhagen to host a debate on Denmark's future. It has a reputation for being one of the happiest places on the planet but for many that has always felt like a bit of a myth. Increasingly the challenges of immigration, integration, and high taxes are causing some Danes to question whether their country can still afford a generous welfare state. Others feel that new laws to 'ban the burka' and cuts to welfare have put the character of their nation on the line.

Jonathan Dimbleby is joined by an influential panel to debate the state of the nation and its role in the world: \\nMartin Henriksen, MP \\u2013 Spokesperson on Immigration and Integration for the Danish People\\u2019s Party; \\nKnud Romer \\u2013 Author and social commentator; \\nUzma Ahmed \\u2013 Integration Advisor and founder of the Brown Feminists Network; \\nPernille Skipper, MP \\u2013 Political Spokesperson for the Red Green Alliance.

BBC World Questions is a series of international events created in partnership with the British Council.
