BBC Radio Ulster - The Nolan Show, Is social deprivation or bad parenting to blame for young people rioting in Derry/Londonderry?

Vinny spoke to commentator and former politician Eamonn McCann and UUP MLA Doug Beattie.

Is social deprivation or bad parenting to blame for young people rioting in Derry? Vinny spoke to commentator and former politician Eamonn McCann and UUP MLA Doug Beattie.

Is social deprivation to blame for young people rioting in Londonderry? Or is it bad parenting? Kids as young as eight years old have been embroiled in the trouble but maybe they need understanding and not condemnation? There were serious disturbances in the city last week with the police attacked over six consecutive nights, petrol bombs thrown and - on one occasion - live rounds fired. Vinny spoke to commentator and former politician Eamonn McCann and UUP MLA Doug Beattie.

Also on the programme, back my deal or Brexit might not happen - that was the Prime Minister's message to Brexiteers at the weekend. But will the DUP back the Chequers plan? The PM hasn't much room for manoeuvre according to the DUP. So - is this the Brexit people voted for? Should the DUP back the deal? Vinny got the views of commentator Nelson McCausland and the Alliance Party deputy leader Stephen Farry.

And, what was possibly the best World Cup ever has come to an end.... we know, sad times for football lovers. Aside from the goals, the drama and the giant-killings one of the main talking points of Russia 2018 has been Video Assistant Refereeing or VAR. Referee of yesterday's final between France and Croatia - Argentinian Nestor Pitina - used VAR to determine that Ivan Perisic's handball was a penalty. This is the first time the World Cup has used the new technology and it's fair to say it's split opinions amongst pundits and fans. So did the system brought in to ensure a "fairer" World Cup work? Vinny got the views of sports journalists Steven Beacom and Keith Bailie.

All that and more on the biggest show in the country.
