Kaye Adams speaks to a 98-year-old man who was inspired to sit his advanced driving test after listening to one of her phone-in shows.

PHONE IN: Abortion
Women's groups and abortion rights activists are calling on the Scottish Government to take advantage of proposed new powers and change abortion legislation. The campaign "Trust Women" wants to reverse the 1967 act which makes it illegal to have an abortion without the permission of two doctors. Kaye Asks: Should Scotland take the opportunity to relax abortion laws?

PRISONS - SCRAP SENTENCES UNDER ONE YEAR
Scotland needs a radical new approach to sentencing, scrapping custodial sentences under one year and opting for community based punishment - according to penal reform groups including Her Majesty's Inspector of Prisons. Kaye finds out why they're recommending this option and what a Community sentence involves.

NORMAN LAWRENCE
Kaye speaks to the 98-year-old who was inspired to take his advanced driving test 4 years ago after getting annoyed listening to callers criticising older drivers on one of her phone-ins.

BA EQUALITY
Female cabin crew can wear trousers, should men be allowed to wear skirts?
British Airways has ruled that women and men in their cabin crew are now allowed to wear trousers while at work. The decision ends a dress code that forced female employees to wear skirts. Kaye brings you a run down on the top 5 moments in the fight for workplace equality and asks how far have we come and how far do we still have to go?

WIFI
President Obama has complained about the patchy wifi coverage in the White House. We find out how reliant we all are on wifi what the future of it is and what can be done if you don't have a connection.

RABIN OMAR
Kaye will be hearing how the son of refugees from Iraqi Kurdistan has been making headlines in Iraq thanks to his goal-scoring exploits for Anna Athletic in the Scottish Cup.
