Journalist, Allan Little, has for more than three decades reported from countless countries and conflicts, including Iraq, former Yugoslavia, South Africa and Moscow. He joins Richard Holloway to discuss what he's taken from these experiences.

During the week on Good Morning Scotland pastors and preachers take over from journalists and politicians, take a moment to reflect on a news story in The Thought for the Day slot. Last week, some young people from Generation 2014 (a group of 50 Scottish teenagers who'll have the right to vote in the Independence Referendum and who Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Scotland's been following over the year) took over the TftD slot. David Goodman, a member of the Jewish Reform Community and Spencer Fildes, Chair of the Scottish Secular Society join Richard to discuss whether a time for a religious reflection, or even a non-religious philosophical reflection is still relevant?

And, as developments in the Middle East continue to cause concern David Goodman and Richard consider whether dramas like Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 2's new series "The Honourable Woman" can ever helpfully capture the reality of the situation.
