Japan nuclear meltdown latest, Lib Dems flex muscle, Libya no fly zone disagreement. In the 5 live forum, should prostitution be legalised? And what's the limit of free speech?
Kate has the latest on the crisis in Japan, where a nuclear reactor is said to be in meltdown.
There's news from the Liberal Democrats' spring conference in Sheffield, as the leadership mulls over Saturday's NHS vote by delegates.
Kate looks into the complex world of diplomacy, as the Arab League and the US Defense Secretary disagree over tactics in Libya. We ask Sir Jeremy Greenstock, the former British ambassador to the United Nations, what's really going on behind the scenes.
In the final half hour, Kate and guests discuss the issues behind two of next week's stories, in the 5 live Forum. This week, should prostitution be legalised? And where should we draw the line, when it comes to freedom of speech? This comes as Dutch political leader Geert Wilders returns to court in The Netherlands, accused of inciting hatred.
This week's forum guests are Sally Bercow, Labour activist and wife of the Speaker, Chris Philp, former Conservative PPC and businessman, and Vincent Moss, political editor of the Sunday Mirror.
