School places, Trump visit and Liverpool's Champions League triumph. 


'I feel that the Education Authority doesn't care about children like me' - Molly, 11 years old, didn't get a place at any of the 6 schools she applied to. 

Excitement turned to disappointment and anger for many families over the weekend as 227 P7 pupils were left in limbo after being told they didn't get into their chosen school. Tanya's daughter was one of the children. Molly didn't receive a place at any of the 6 schools she requested. Her mum says it's been a heart breaking experience. So much so that Molly decided to write a letter to the Education Authority outlining how she felt about what happened and she recorded it for us. Molly's mum Tanya spoke to Stephen this morning.

Also on the programme, it's finally here - the long awaited visit of the President of the United States to the UK. The Donald has now landed in Air Force One, but the media storm began several days ago with Trump making his opinions known on a number of domestic UK issues. He told The Times' political editor Tim Shipman of his fondness for the Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage - and his belief that that he should have a place at the negotiating table. But should the President of the United States be giving his views on our politics? Stephen spoke to commentators Phil Kelly and Irwin Armstrong.

And, a massive sporting night for English football at the weekend as Liverpool became the champions of Europe for the sixth time - beating Spurs 2-nil in the final on Saturday. Hundreds of thousands of Liverpool fans celebrated the club's Champions League win at a parade through the city yesterday, surrounded by a sea of red. Stephen was joined by sports journalist and Liverpool fan Steven Beacom - and the commentator and suffering Spurs fan Brendan Mulgrew.

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