National and international news with Shaun Ley.

As the Houses of Parliament are recalled to discuss the situation in Syria, we ask if the Government is likely to be successful in getting agreement on what action to take. Former Defence minister - Peter Luff tells us he's yet to be convinced by the government's case. Member of the Intelligence and Security Committee - Julian Lewis - says he needs to see more facts. Foreign Office Minister Alistair Burt makes the government's case.

Plus in the final instalment of our series on domestic violence, the Home Secretary - Theresa May - tells us police forces need to improve their approach to the issue.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
