As hosts of the 2013 Open, Kaye Adams asks if Muirfield can justify its men-only stance.

Kaye asks whether Muirfield golf club can justify its men-only stance when it is hosting the 2013 Open Championship, and whether domestic violence can ever be forgiven.

Augusta is one of the last American clubs to tear down the sex barrier to allow female members and has invited former US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice to join. But the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers at Muirfield golf club, the host of the 2013 Open, have stubbornly refused to admit women. Kaye Adams asks, as the host of next year's Open Championship, can it really justify its men-only stance?

Barbadian singer Rihanna spoke candidly to US talk show host Oprah Winfrey's at the weekend, opening up about her relationship with ex-boyfriend, rapper Chris Brown, who was convicted of attacking her on the eve of the Grammy Awards in 2009. The 24 year old pop star said she had to forgive him because she still cared for him, and the moment she did she started living again. 

But can you forgive someone who has been violent towards you or someone you love? Can you ever get that trust back, or is it shattered forever?

And researchers at Aberdeen University say the next generation of Miss Marples and Sherlock Holmes could well be mathematicians. The subject has an increasingly important role in crime scene investigations, from working out bullet trajectories to tracking down a serial killer's location. Kaye talks to the university's Dr Marco Thiel to hear how big a role maths plays in all our lives and she wants to hear if you have used it in your everyday life.
