Should every 25-year-old be given £10,000 no strings attached?

Kaye gets to the heart of the stories making the news, offering the listeners the opportunity to have their say. Should every 25-year-old be given £10,000 no strings attached?

A think tank has suggested that all 25-year-old UK-born citizens should be paid a one-off capital dividend of £10,000 from 2030, providing a universal minimum inheritance for all. Their report suggests that the lump sum would be paid at an age where young people are looking to invest in their futures, for example through buying a property, investing in education, or starting a business.

ASK THE VET
If your pet is diagnosed with cancer - what treatments are available and how much do they cost? Ross Allan is from Pets N Vets Glasgow and Professor David Argyle is Head of the Royal School of Veterinary Studies and leads the Riddell-Swan Veterinary Cancer Centre.

SPEED CAMERAS
Last January, Joan Price was driving back from her brass band practice with her friend Gillian Kay when a joy rider hit them driving at over 140mph. Joan died in the crash and Gillian was left with injuries she'll be struggling with for the rest of her life. Gillian joins us to talk about Joan's Legacy campaign - she's calling on a speed camera to be installed on the part of the A77 where the crash happened. Dave Nichols is community engagement manager at BRAKE.

DIGITAL SPRING CLEAN
Forget about the house, it's time for a digital spring clean. Darien Graham-Smith, Associate editor of PC Pro Magazine, offers a 13-step digital declutter. With 6000 unread emails sitting in just one of her email accounts, Katrina Tweedie, Daily Record reporter and mum of 3 boys, is looking for some advice.

ARGUMENTS
UK and international research suggests that from as young as six months, children exposed to conflict between their parents may have increased heart rates and stress hormone responses. Does arguing in front of your kids damage them?

EAT MORE VEG
Advertisers are the experts at persuading us to eat burgers, crisps and fizzy drinks. But what if they tried to sell us something healthier? Former ad man Dan Parker, from the Food Foundation, says that adverts could make us eat more veg. Becca Millar is a nutritionist and Scott McDonald is from JM Breckenridge grocer suppliers.

HICCUPS
Did you know that the NHS recommends people seek medical advice if their hiccups recur frequently or last longer than 48 hours? But what causes a hiccup and how can you get rid of them?
