As the Andrew Mitchell controversy continues, Kaye Adams asks if it's time to let it lie.

The controversy surrounding Tory whip Andrew Mitchell continues. Kaye asks whether it is time to draw a line under it all. Or does the story still have legs?

As the furore surrounding Conservative whip Andrew Mitchell continues, Kaye Adams asks if it is time to let it lie. The Met Police and the Tory party have both said they want to draw a line under the situation. But Sir Menzies Campbell has said it still has legs, and until Mr Mitchell is more forthcoming about what was really said then it will only continue. What do you think?

One of the Catholic Churches most senior figures in Scotland, Bishop Joseph Devine, has sparked outrage after claiming that images of abortion should not be suppressed, the same way that pictures of the Holocaust and Burma Railway "brought home the horrors of such evil catastrophes". It follows the arrest of two Christian campaigners who held seven foot high banners of images of aborted foetuses outside a clinic in Brighton. The Bishop said such photographs are far more effective than a million pleading words. But should women be shown the consequences of abortion before going ahead with one? Kaye speaks to one of the campaigners behind the story to hear why he thinks people should.

And BBC Scotland money man, Fergus Muirhead, will be talking to Kaye about deputy prime minister Nick Clegg's plans for parents to use their pension pots to help their children get on the property ladder.
