Paris conference calls for global response to IS militants. Presented by Martha Kearney.

Paris conference calls for global response to IS militants. Salmond 'confident Queen neutral'. Train and bus commuters 'happier than motorists'. Presented by Martha Kearney.

France conference calls for global response to IS militants. Barbara Plett-Usher reports live from Paris. We also hear from Patrick Coburn, Iraq's Deputy PM Hoshyar Zebari, and Major General Tim Cross, the most senior British Army officer involved in the reconstruction of Iraq after the invasion of 2003.

Alex Salmond says he believes the Queen has been "absolutely impartial" in Scotland's referendum campaign; the Scottish Labour leader Johann Lamont says the Yes campaign has lost sight of what's most important to voters. Pollster Ben Page tells us about undecided voters, and David Rhodes gauges the mood of "Borderers".

New research suggests commuting to work by public transport - or by bike or on foot - makes you happier than driving. Phillipa Hunt from the charity, Living Streets, agrees; motoring journalist Steve Berry does not.

And Mark Mardell reports from Clacton in Essex where Douglas Carswell is aiming to hold his seat for UKIP in a by-election caused by his defection from the Conservatives.

Presented by Martha Kearney.
