Pro-life group is accused of traumatising women who have suffered miscarriages with graphic anti-abortion images in Belfast City Centre.

A Belfast City councillor has sought legal advice on the display of abortion imagery by some pro-life groups in Belfast City Centre. Alliance councillor Michelle Kelly said that although she supports people's right to protest, concerns had been raised over images used. Vinny spoke to Michelle Kelly and Marion Woods from campaign group Both Lives Matter.

Also on the programme, Changes to Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme payments meant a "raw deal" for participants, a committee of MPs has said. The Northern Ireland Affairs Committee said the Department for the Economy should "revisit" deep cuts in payments. It comes after businesses said the cuts had left them struggling. The DUP MP Ian Paisley is on the committee. He told Vinny claimants were being treated unfairly. We also got reaction from Sir Reg Empey.

And, another summer, another incident of paramilitary flags being erected in a shared housing area. Several flags featuring UVF emblems were hung from lampposts in Cantrell Close in south Belfast over the weekend - the latest in a series of controversial incidents in the area in recent years. The housing development just off the Ravenhill Road, was designed to be a flagship-cross community development as part of the Stormont Executive's Together Building United Communities programme. Vinny got the views of commentator Jamie Bryson and Belfast City SDLP Councillor S茅amas de Faoite.
