BBC Radio Ulster - The Nolan Show, Underage 'Text to Fight' Gangs - Do Parents Have Any Control?

Children in Belfast as young as 11 are involved in fights pre-arranged on social media. 


Stephen speaks with Superintendent Muir Clark, Childrens' Commissioner Koulla Yiasouma and the SDLP Councillor Paul McCusker.

Children as young as 11 in Belfast are involved in fights arranged on social media - at the weekend, police broke up a fight involving groups of youths on the Springfield Road in west Belfast. And in north Belfast, police patrols were stepped up over fears of another arranged fight in the Cliftonpark Avenue area. Stephen speaks to Superintendent Muir Clark, Childrens' Commissioner Koulla Yiasouma and the SDLP Councillor Paul McCusker.

Also on the programme, the Irish government is today publishing the legal framework surrounding a no deal Brexit. Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney says a "no deal Brexit is lose lose lose for Ireland, UK and EU". 

Stephen gets the latest from business editor John Campbell, TUV’s Jim Allister and Labour's Phil Kelly.

Stephen talks with the News Letter's political editor Sam McBride and who supported keeping the RHI boiler scheme going.

And, breakdancing has been proposed as a new entry into the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris - and the International Olympic Committee will decide if it's going to be included by the end of next year. Stephen talks to Anton Phung from the breakdancing crew Groovenometry, and sports journalist, Stephen Beacom. 

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