Victoria Derbyshire asks 'should the media shut up?' ahead of the 2018 World Cup decision. She's joined by Theo from The Hurts for the Monday Music Review.

Will investigations into alleged corruption at FIFA damage England's chances of hosting the 2018 World Cup? Leaders of England's bid think so - they're worried about a possible backlash.

So should the media keep "shut up" until after the host has been announced in 18 days' time? Victoria and guests discuss the issue in the first hour, with feelings running high: "The England bid is dead in the water" and "Come on! We should use this as an opportunity to celebrate our integrity as a nation" are among your comments.

Also, we speak to a real life hero: 30-year-old James Pout who risked his life to rescue a drunken tourist on a tube track.

And in the final half hour, Victoria's joined by Theo from The Hurts for the Monday Music Review. The synthpop duo's new single Stay has just been released.
