MPs approve emergency terror law - but it won't apply to Northern Ireland. 

MPs approve emergency terror law - but it won't apply to Northern Ireland. And, reaction as Secretary of State Julian Smith sacked by Boris Johnson in cabinet reshuffle. 

Northern Ireland will be the only part of the UK where emergency legislation to block terrorists being automatically freed from jail won't apply. UUP MLA Doug Beattie has called on the UK Government to rethink its policy. He spoke to Stephen this morning along with commentator Phil Kelly.

Also on the programme, Secretary of State Julian Smith has been sacked by Boris Johnson in cabinet reshuffle. Is he a big loss to politics in Northern Ireland? Stephen spoke to UUP MLA Doug Beattie, SDLP MP Claire Hanna, News Letter deputy editor Ben Lowry, commentators Jamie Bryson, Alex Kane and Mairia Cahill, and Margaret McGuckin from SAVIA.

And, classic touches of old-fashioned chivalry are no longer wanted on a date as millennial singletons say being well-mannered, attentive and smartly dressed are more important. New research shows just 14% of women expect a man to offer them his jacket and only 15% like a chair to be pulled out for them. What does this say about modern dating? Is chivalry dead? Or does old school romance have a place in the age of Tinder? Stephen spoke to etiquette expert William Hanson.

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