Victoria hears from grandparents who've been arrested or cautioned after trying to contact their grandchildren after a family fall-out. As the law stands at the moment grandparents have no legal rights to see their grandchild. It means they can be denied access following rows with their children or after bitter divorce cases. Victoria speaks to grandparents and to a Conservative MP who says police are being too heavy handed.

Also as the Foreign Secretary, William Hague, compares the bloodshed in Syria to that of Bosnia in the 1990s, Victoria asks what similarities we can draw.
