Kaye Adams asks listeners how best to stamp out homophobia in sport.

Kaye Adams asks if banning spectators who make homophobic comments from sporting events, as suggested by a group of MPs, will help stamp out abuse.

Sport is not doing enough to tackle homophobic abuse and authorities should issue lengthy bans to offenders, according to a report.
The report, published by the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee, wants sports authorities to adopt a zero-tolerance approach at all levels.
Spectators who make homophobic comments at sports events should be banned for up to two years according to a group of MPs.
Will this help to stamp out homophobic abuse?

BBC Scotland's Timeline spoke to a victim and an animal behaviourist about a recent dog attack BUT their take on who was to blame was polarised. Is it the owner or the dog that makes man's best friend dangerous? 
Elaine Henley is a clinical animal behaviourist and believes dogs issues are formed from conception. James McDonald is a Trustee from the Canine Concern Scotland Trust.

Tam Baillie, Scotland's commissioner for children and young people has said that the educational app ClassDojo could leave children stressed and unable to concentrate. The free app that is intended to measure and encourage positive "social-emotional learning" also 'shares moments' with parents.

Debenhams has become the first major UK department store to announce that it will begin selling the traditional hijab.
The department store will also offer a range of other Muslim clothing including tops, dresses, jumpsuits, kimono wraps, hijab pins and caps in selected stores. However the stores included don't currently include Scotland. So what's the fashion scene like for Muslim women here?

Alexander Millar has sold one of his artworks for £100000. Whilst slightly unusual for a figure like this to be paid for what Alexander Miller calls "Gadgie artwork", it is certainly not uncommon for this kind of money to change hands in the art world. What makes this Scottish Artist's career more interesting is that less than 10 years before that sale, he was cleaning windows for £100 a week. 

A documentary about Scottish Bounty hunter and bail bondsman working in the USA, Christian Matlock is broadcast tonight on BBC 1. We speak to Christian in the states and hear about his journey from boy in Brechin to bounty hunter and what we can expect to see on the documentary. 


Almost 250,000 people have signed a petition in a bid to let Bob Harvey, 87, keep his dog at his care home. Bob has been told his pet Schnauzer must leave the home because of health and safety concerns from management. We speak to the man who has garnered so much support and then widen it out to the impact of pets on the elderly. Bob Harvey 87, lives in a care home and Dr Elisabeth Ohmerod is Chair of SCAS (The Society for Companion Animal Studies).
