Are you getting the broadband that you were promised? Ask the Dentist and forced hugging.

Are you getting the broadband that you were promised? And we speak to the mum looking for justice for her son who was killed by a punch last New Year's Day.

ON THE PHONE IN
Broadband firms will no longer be able to advertise their fast net services based on the speeds just a few customers get, from May next year. Currently ISPs are allowed to use headline speeds that only 10% of customers will actually receive. In future, adverts must be based on what is available to at least half of customers at peak times.
Are you getting the broadband that you were promised?

From 10am.....

'ONE PUNCH CAN KILL SOMEBODY'
Kaye speaks to the mum looking for justice for her son who was killed by a punch last New Year's Day. Shaun Woodburn died after he was attacked by a 16-year-old outside a pub in Leith. The schoolboy who killed Shaun was sentenced to four years' detention. Denise Syme tells us about her meeting with the Crown Office on Monday to discuss an appeal against the sentencing.

FRUIT FLIES
Have you been plagued by fruit flies? Some experts say that an apparent 'invasion' could be down to the autumnal chill that has driven the flies indoors. We find out the 5 ways to banish fruit flies.

ASK THE DENTIST
Could common medicines be damaging your teeth? Dr Ambi Jeyabalan is on the way on for Ask the Dentist - she'll tell you all about that and she'll be answering your toothy questions. Call Dr Ambi on 08 08 5 92 95 00 or text 80295.

FORCED HUGGING
"Reminder: She does not owe anyone a hug. Not even at the holidays."
As the Girl Scouts of America warn parents not to encourage their daughters to hug relatives at Christmas time, we speak to mums Nicola Creen and Jane McCloughlin, who have very different views on the subject. Richard Woolfson is a Child Psychologist, Parent and Grandfather.

COMEDIAN POLITICIANS
Chancellor Philip Hammond made a series of jokes as he delivered his Autumn Budget in the House of Commons. Can politicians be funny?
