DUP MP Sammy Wilson has backed Boris Johnson after he attacked Theresa's May's Brexit plan. Mr Johnston said the Prime Minister had "wrapped a suicide vest" around the British constitution and "handed the detonator" to Brussels. In the Mail on Sunday, the former foreign secretary said the Chequers deal was "feeble" and "pathetic". Stephen was joined by 麻豆社 political correspondent Enda McClafferty and got the views of political commentator Alex Kane and DUP MLA Jim Wells.

Also on the programme, Serena Williams' claims of sexism in the US Open final have been backed by the governing body of women's tennis. WTA chief executive Steve Simon said the umpire showed Williams a different level of tolerance of Saturday's outbursts than if she had been a man. Umpire Carlos Ramos penalised Williams after seeing her coach making a hand gesture. Serena Williams was then penalised further for breaking her racquet and calling the umpire a thief. Her coach later admitted that he had been trying to coach her by using the hand gesture. Stephen got the views of commentator Heidi McAlpin and journalist Paul Martin.

And, Former DUP Minister Jonathan Bell finishes giving evidence at the RHI Inquiry - Newsletter political editor Sam McBride has the roundup of the latest revelations.
