Double standards. That's the call from the DUP to the Alliance party over the Social Investment Fund. Yesterday the Alliance party called for an an independent review of SIF.

Double standards. That's the call from the DUP to the Alliance party over the Social Investment Fund. Yesterday the Alliance party called for an independent review of SIF, but the DUP have hit back questioning why they have been critical when Alliance MLA Paula Bradshaw was involved granting SIF funds to her own Greater Village Regeneration Trust in south Belfast. Stephen talks to Alliance MLA Paula Bradshaw and DUP's MLA Emma Little Pengelly.

Also on the programme, the crack cocaine of gambling, that's how the former CEO of Paddy Power bookies described fixed odds betting terminals, according to the Times newspaper. In a submission to the Irish government, Stewart Kenny said the machines, which allow punters to gamble 拢100 every 20 seconds, are dangerously addictive. So is it time for a ban here or more regulation? Commentators Tom Slater and Niamh Horan debate.

And, Nick Yarris was sentenced to the death penalty after being found guilty of the murder and rape of a woman he had never met. His book 'The Fear of 13' is out now and tells the story of his life and how he ended up in jail for over two decades.
