More than 8,000 spent the night in Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh on Saturday night as part of Sleep in the Park, according to organisers Social Bite. Josh Littlejohn, the co-founder of Social Bite, said there were 11,000 homeless households in Scotland and that 'if we put our heads together, we can wipe out homelessness in five years.'

Also on the programme - 

SELECTIVE MUTISM 
We speak to the mum of the little girl who barely uttered a word until she was five years old. Sarah Campbell is the Mum of six-year-old Poppy from Inverness and Anna Biavati Smith is a speech therapist from the charity SMIRA.

WEATHER
With snow and ice causing disruption to travel, we check in on the situation for people travelling by road, rail and air across the country.

DADDY'S LEAVE
Fathers Network Scotland have proposed that families in Scotland should be entitled to three months' paid 'daddy leave' - taking some of the mother's entitlement. We put the proposal to some Mums and Dads.

POTTY TRAINING
A couple has posted an advert for a professional potty trainer for their three-year-old daughter ahead of their in-laws visiting at Christmas. Would you pay someone to potty train your child?

SLEEP IN THE PARK 
We hear from two of the participants from Saturday's Sleep in the Park, musician Amy MacDonald and Robbie who is a reporter on the Kaye team. 

AGE OR RAGE 
Is it rage or is it your age? Hear from Dr Tom Smith and actress Joyce Falconer. Let's work out if it's proper, legitimate rage.

EMPLOYABLE ME
We speak to the 26-year-old who wants to tell the world that just because he has no legs doesn't mean he can't work for a living. Daniel Gallagher is a double amputee from Mintlaw, Jamie Rutherford is the Director of Employment from Enable Scotland and Lochlan O'Sullivan is a Recruitment Expert and Director of Balance Resourcing.
