IS bride Shamima Begum expected to get legal aid to fight for UK citizenship.

IS bride Shamima Begum expected to get legal aid to fight for UK citizenship. At a time when cuts to legal aid means many others don't qualify - is this right?

Shamima Begum - the teenager who left the UK to join the Islamic State group - is expected to be given legal aid to fight the Home Secretary's decision to strip her of British citizenship. She's is in a detention camp in northern Syria after IS fighters were driven from the region. The Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, says the decision makes him "very uncomfortable". So how can she qualify, at a time when cuts to legal aid mean many others don't? Vinny spoke to commentator Andree Murphy and barrister and former MP Jerry Hayes.

Also on the programme, French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to rebuild the medieval cathedral of Notre-Dame after a major fire partially destroyed the Paris landmark. Father Aidan Troy is based in Paris. He spoke to Vinny from there this morning.

And, 40% of teachers are to quit by 2024 because of excessive workload. That's the claim from the National Education Union. The union also say that workload, work life balance and unnecessary bureaucracy are taking their toll on staff. So are teachers being forced out of the profession? Vinny spoke to Justin McCamphill from the NASUWT union and the commentator Frank Shivers.

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