The marathon debate on same-sex marriage goes into its second day in the House of Lords. Sean Curran has the highlights of that and the best of the rest of the day in the Commons.

The Government's survived two key votes in Parliament. MPs voted down an attempt to force Energy Ministers to set a decarbonisation target for the UK. And in the Lords, a peer's bid to wreck the controversial Same Sex Marriage Bill was overwhelmingly defeated. Sean Curran has the best of both debates.
Also on the programme:
* Keith Macdougall reports on Commons exchanges in the latest lobbying scandal to hit Westminster.
* Peter Mulligan covers a special committee session looking at the problems facing hospital accident and emergency units
* Brian Meechan has the best of First Ministers Questions at the National Assembly for Wales in Cardiff.
