Arlene Foster wins female politician of the year at the Asian Voice and Political and Public Awards. Which of our local MLAs and MPs do you think is doing the best job?
Congratulations to Arlene Foster who won female politician of the year at the Asian Voice and Political and Public Awards. Past winners at the key event include Civil Rights Leader Rev. Jesse Jackson, former Prime Minister David Cameron and broadcaster Moria Stuart. Arlene flew over to the prestigious ceremony in London last night to pick up her gong. Last year was a big year for the DUP leader, as she faced questioning from Sir Patrick Coghlin at the RHI Inquiry. Stephen got the views of commentator Brendan Mulgrew and editor of the Slugger O'Tooler website Mick Fealty.
Also on the programme, there's been big reaction to Stephen's interview with singer Brian Kennedy on Nolan Live on Wednesday. The singer went through life altering surgery after being diagnosed with rectal cancer in 2016. He has been praised for his bravery in speaking so frankly about his treatment. Chris from Derry contacted us about his. He is a firefighter, a father of 3 children, and he told Stephen about life after his surgery.
And, consideration should be given to providing rooms where people can safely inject themselves with illegal drugs - that's according to Northern Irelands chief medical officer Dr Michael McBride. He told the Â鶹Éç there was a "significant problem" with drug users injecting in public places. What do you think? Would you be in favour? Stephen spoke to David Raynes from the National Drug Prevention Alliance and commentator Irwin Armstrong.
All that and more on the biggest show in the country…
