NI should 'aggressively' target tourists in Dublin and tell them 'you're in the wrong part of the island' - Ian Paisley. Is that the best way to get visitors to NI?
"You're in the wrong part of the island". That's the message Ian Paisley wants to give to tourists landing in the south. The DUP MP wants to start aggressively targeting people landing at Dublin Airport to boost tourism here. But is there a better way than we can sell ourselves? Stephen got the views of journalist Amanda Ferguson and commentator David McNarry.
Also on the programme, most of us know someone who's suffered a stroke. On average, 11 people a day are brought to hospital in Northern Ireland with signs of a stroke - more than 4,000 people a year. But a new survey by the Stroke Association reveals that we have very little understanding of the condition - 27% of people don't know that it's something that happens in the brain. It happened to the Belfast Telegraph's John Laverty almost a year ago. He joined Stephen this morning.
And, shock at Westminster as Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson is sacked after a probe into a National Security Council leak. In a letter, the Prime Minister Theresa May said she has lost confidence in his ability to serve in the cabinet. Mr Williamson "strenuously" denied he was involved in disclosing plans to allow Chinese telecoms giant Huawei to help build the UK's 5G network. There's been calls from opposition parties to have the police investigate whether the Official Secrets Act has been breached. Stephen spoke to Sam Coates, Deputy Political Editor, The Times.
