Bonfire row - tyres dumped and reports of anti-social behaviour in east Belfast

A new row over a bonfire site in east Belfast - tyres have now been dumped and reports of anti-social behaviour.

You'll remember last month we reported how bonfire material was being collected at two sites in East Belfast - the Connswater greenway near Avoneil and the Cregagh estate. It all kicked off after we asked why pallets were being left in January, six months before the annual 11th night bonfires - because the next day bonfire collectors had a message for me, a "F*** Stephen Nolan" banner was placed over the pallets and a picture of them with it was posted online. Now there has been another development at the Avoneil site - toxic tyres have been left at the site and the council have confirmed reports of anti-social behaviour at the site which sits beside a new playground. Our reporter Nicola Weir has been over to take a look, she joined Stephen in the studio, and we got reaction from Ulster Unionist councillor Jim Rodgers and east Belfast community worker Jim Wilson.

Also on the programme, what is President Trump's problem with the press? We talk to Trump deputy assistant Sebastian Gorka.

And, the Nolan Show accesses internal memo for orthopaedic waiting times - we hear from former head of the Health and Social Care Board John Compton.
