EU summit, food habits and Rosalind Powell.

EU summit, joint enterprise, meningitis, food habits and Rosalind Powell on adoption.

The next 24 hours will establish whether David Cameron can get the other 27 EU leaders to back his renegotiation demands, we heard live reaction at the summit in Brussels. We debated Meningitis vaccines as more than 400 thousand people have now signed an online petition, calling for all children under the age of 11 to be vaccinated against the virus on the NHS. It follows a campaign by the family of two-year-old Faye Burdett from Kent, who died on Sunday. Journalist Rosalind Powell was here to talk about adoption, the topic of her new book How I Met My Son. And as food habits are changing we asked our listeners what they're eating for lunch.
