Breaking news, and hard-hitting talk. Unionists blast former DUP leader Peter Robinson over his comments that NI should prepare for the possibility of a united Ireland.

Peter Robinson has said he believes Northern Ireland should prepare for the possibility of a United Ireland. He was speaking during audience question time after making a speech at the MacGill Summer School in Glenties, Co Donegal on Friday. Mr Robinson's comments have been met with criticism from his own party with Sammy Wilson calling them "dangerous and demoralising." Stephen got reaction from SDLP MLA Nichola Mallon, TUV leader Jim Allister and UUP's Lord Reg Empey.

Also on the programme - "all people have a choice who they want to listen to" - that's the view of the organiser of an event by a Polish stand-up who has made extreme homophobic, anti-Islam and sexist comments. Wojciech Cejrowski's event has been dropped by the Strand Arts Centre in east Belfast. The organisers of Polish Cultural Week - who originally promoted the event - have said it鈥檚 not their event, and that they have been told "that this event is only about Wojciech Cejrowski's travels and that there will be no political or other controversial comments". Stephen got the views of Rainbow Project's John O'Doherty, and Aleksandra Lojek a hate crime support worker from east Belfast - who's originally from Poland.

And, drag queens and trans activists took over Stormont at the weekend for the Alternative Queer Ulster event. The night was co-sponsored by the DUP's Paula Bradley, but her fellow MLA Jim Wells has condemned the event, claiming it was a disgrace and brought Stormont into disrepute. Stephen spoke to the event's organiser, Malachai O'Hara of the Green Party and Jim Wells of the DUP.
