The Nolan Show: Brexit Party leader interview, and chimps escape enclosure in Belfast Zoo.

Brexit Party leader interview, and chimps escape enclosure in Belfast Zoo.

BBC Radio Ulster - The Nolan Show, Brexit Party leader interview, and chimps escape enclosure in Belfast Zoo.

Brexit Party leader Catherine Blaiklock talks backstop with Nolan.

Brexit Party leader Catherine Blaiklock talks backstop and says "It's been made up to a large extent. We have land borders all over the place."

A new political party has been recognised by the electoral commission, it's called the Brexit Party. It's backed by Nigel Farage the Independent MEP and former leader of UKIP and it is led by Catherine Blaiklock. Stephen began by asking her what the Brexit Party's solution is to the backstop.

Also on the programme, there were more escapees at Belfast Zoo this weekend when a number of chimpanzees got out of their enclosure. Danielle was there with her partner, their children and nieces. Footage posted online by Danielle's partner shows the animals wandering the paths. She told Stephen about what she saw. We also got reaction from Daniel Barclay from Northern Ireland Says No to Animal Cruelty, and travel writer Tim Hedgley. 

And, last July we spoke to a West Belfast family who are desperately waiting for a heart transplant for their two year old son, Daithi McGowan. Seph and her partner, Mairtin, have got in touch again. They're running out of time and they need your help. They're asking all of us to search our souls and sign the organ donation register. Little Daithi is still waiting for  a transplant and his kidneys are now damaged. Our reporter Nicola Weir went to visit Daithi's parents.

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