Brexit economy, drone safety, Syrian architect Marwa Al Sabouni and singer Chris Rea.

What would happen to the UK economy if there's a vote to leave the EU on June 23rd? No-one knows because there's no historical comparison BUT the Treasury has produced a report today which looks at 3 different scenarios following a Brexit. We heard from JULIET SAMUEL who writes for the Telegraph and is leaning towards Out and VICKY PRYCE is a former government economist who supports our continued membership of the EU. The governing body for the sport of model flying says people who fly drones should take out personal liability insurance. The British Model Flying Association has made the recommendation after a drone reportedly hit a plane yesterday. We spoke to ANDY SYMMONS from the BMFA. MARWA AL-SABOUNI was born and raised in Homs. She's stayed in the city throughout the initial anti-government demonstrations, and through the violence, the shelling and the sieges that followed. Her new book is 'The Battle for Home: The memoir of a Syrian architect'. The singer CHRIS REA was here too to talk about his new coffee table book La Passione which comes with music. And in our final hour we talked about the weekends sporting heroes.
