17 year old Isata Kanneh-Mason is one of the final five pianists left in this year's BBC Young Musician of the Year competition. Jennifer Pike won Young Musician of the Year in 2002 aged just 12. We'll be asking Jennifer what advice she would give Isata on coping in the music business as a young soloist. Minette Batters has been voted vice president of the National Farmer's Union. It's the first time in their 105 year history that a woman has made it on to the leadership team. The latest Home office figures on forced marriage have been published this week - and the figures are down from last year. We'll be discussing whether they are a true reflection of the scale of forced marriage in the UK? On International Rare Diseases Day we'll be looking at how NHS England intends to support people with rare diseases such as Muscular Dystrophy.
