Love Equality campaigners met for the first time with the DUP yesterday, regarding gay marriage. It led to speculation that the meeting hinted towards a possible change in stance from the party, who have long been against a change, in the definition of marriage.

Also on the programme, the naming of a 拢30 million leisure centre in Newtownards is on hold. Unionists want to name it after Blair Mayne - a soldier praised for his role in World War Two. Mayne also represented Ireland in rugby. But the SDLP oppose the naming - saying it will alienate nationalists. The Alliance Party have said leisure centres should be neutral spaces. So is this a genuine attempt to honour a sporting and war hero or an attempt to mark out territory? This is a story in the Belfast Telegraph today. Stephen got the views of NI Labour Party member Phil Kelly and Green Party councillor John Barry.

Stephen spoke to Freddie Harris from Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful, commentator Newton Emerson and Belfast City Councillor Jim Rodgers.
