³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖless charity in vacant buildings call, and could another referendum lead to civil unrest?

Make vacant buildings and grounds of Belfast City Hall available to rough sleepers - that's the call from a homeless charity here.

The head of a homeless charity in Northern Ireland has called for owners of vacant buildings to consider making them available for those sleeping rough during winter cold snaps. Tony McQuillan from Shelter NI says it would also be a good idea if the grounds of the City Hall could be transformed into a heated shelter during particularly cold weather. So what do you think? Should we be making more use of our empty space to help those who need help? Stephen got the views of SDLP Cllr Paul McCusker and UUP Alderman, Jim Rodgers.

Also on the programme, was the Plan B announced by the Prime Minister yesterday really just Plan A repackaged? Was it even repackaged? She's focusing on selling a deal to the DUP and Tory Brexiteers by getting changes to the backstop. And a second referendum is out - Theresa May says it would threaten social cohesion. Is she right? Stephen got the views of commentators Brendan Mulgrew and Jamie Bryson.

All that and more on the biggest show in the country…
