Turkey visa changes, Top Gear, airport duty tax, Maria Toorpakai and The Coral.

We reported on the propsed Turkey visa changes and we were live at live at Newcastle Airport to talk about the impact that cuts to Airport Duty Tax in Scotland could have on the northern hub. We spoke to Maria Toorpakai a professional squash player and Pakistan's top female player. She was also born in what she calls "the most dangerous part of the world" - the Taliban heartland of Waziristan. It's an area where girls rarely left home and were forbidden from playing sport, so as a young girl Maria had to disguise herself as a boy when she first took up the sport. She's written a book about her life growing up - called A Different Kind of Daughter - the Girl Who Hid From the Taliban in Plain Sight. And the band The Coral played live. They're back with a new album and tour after five years.
