Victoria on why 60 per cent of us admit to feeling awkward around disabled people. Plus figures show only one in five convicted for knife crime go to jail - time to get tougher?

Over ten million people in the UK have a disability but many people don't know how to behave around disabled people. Two thirds of us say we avoid disabled people because we don't how to react. 60% admit to staring! Why are we so uncomfortable and what's it like being on the receiving end?

The proportion of people being jailed for knife crimes in England and Wales has dropped to it's lowest level for three years - just 1 in 5 of those caught with a knife or offensive weapon were sent to prison. Does this send out the right message or should we be tougher with those caught with weapons?

As Iranian Embassy officials prepare to leave the UK, former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw tells Victoria how tough it can be to negotiate with Tehran.
