Debate over not including God Save the Queen and Rule Britannia in BBC Proms. 

Not including God Save the Queen and Rule Britannia in BBC Proms is 'social engineering'. 

God Save the Queen airbrushed from the Proms in the Park in Belfast, as is Rule Britannia. Why would the British Broadcasting Corporation not be playing these British classics? But it's the final straw for the deputy editor of the Newsletter Ben Lowry, as he accuses BBC Northern Ireland of 'social engineering'. Ben spoke to Stephen this morning, and we got the views of commentator Brendan Mulgrew.

Also on the programme, James Corden's making a splash on social media this weekend after launching an attack on rival chat show host, Bill Maher after he made comments about fat people. So who do you think has got this right? These are these big chat show hosts in America taking each other on now. Stephen spoke to body diversity campaigner Kathryn Szrodecki and commentator Ant Miller. 

And, local film company ESC Films is launching a new project capturing the stories of LGBT people in Northern Ireland - with strong religious faiths. What is it like to be gay, and Christian, in Northern Ireland? The film "A Question of Belonging" launches tomorrow night as part of Good Relations Week 2019. Stephen spoke to Fidelma Carolan and Ryan McMillan join me in studio.

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