A Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ investigation has uncovered evidence of serious physical and sexual abuse at one of Scotland's most prestigious Catholic boarding schools. What can the Catholic church do to clean up its act? How should it respond to this latest evidence of abuse?
The growth in the number of men taking paternity leave has ground to a halt as many fathers decide they can't afford to lose income by taking time off work according to a new study. Law firm EMW found that up to 400,000 men can't afford to take even the basic statutory leave, which is currently being enjoyed by the Duke of Cambridge following the birth of his son. And despite changes from the UK Government to encourage fathers to take additional leave, less than one percent of men have been taking advantage of the extra 26 weeks on offer. So why are so few men opting to take more time off with their newborns? Is it because they can't afford it, they don't feel it is their role or they just don't want to? Kaye asks why are so few men opting to take additional paternity leave when they have a child?
And Kaye speaks to Jimmy Shand Jnr, son of the late accordian legend, about his father's collection of antique books to be sold at auction, including hundreds of traditional "auld Scots sangs" which inspired Sir Jimmy during his long musical career.
