'Speak to Dublin' - the government's advice to local business in event of no-deal Brexit.

'Speak to Dublin' - that's the government advice to local business in event of no-deal Brexit.

The Conservative minister David Lidington is visiting Londonderry today. We wonder what sort of welcome he'll get after the government told Northern Ireland businesses trading across the border to contact Dublin for advice in the event of a no deal Brexit. Vinny got reaction from financial journalist Paul Gosling, Christopher Montgomery who is a Conservative party member and was the DUP's chief of staff at Westminster until last year and also a director at Vote Leave, the businessman Irwin Armstrong and Director of the Northern Ireland Retail Consortium Aodhán Connolly.

Also on the programme, how much alcohol is a safe amount to consume? Is there a safe amount? A new global study confirms that drinking *any* amount of booze is detrimental to your health. Published in the Lancet, the Global Burden Of Disease study looked at levels of alcohol use in 195 countries, comparing people who do not drink at all to those who have one or more alcoholic drinks per day. The results find that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption, with any amount raising the risk of disease. While the researchers admit moderate drinking may protect against heart disease, they found that the risk of cancer and other diseases outweighs these protections. So would you consider going tee-total this bank holiday weekend? Vinny got the views of Dr George O'Neill is here and commentator and former pub owner Tina Calder.

And, should dress codes for restaurants be scrapped?! Vinny got the views of commentators Lata Sharma and Andrea McVeigh.

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