Shereen: Assessing the news
This week's panellists are journalist , PR Executive , and STV's digital editor - always an opinionated lot.
On Remembrance Sunday, a hot topic for discussion is the row over FIFA's (now overturned) decision to ban the England team from wearing poppies this weekend. It's prompted a wider debate about whether the whole poppy wearing thing has got out of hand. Is it still about remembering those who have fallen or is it being used as a means of glorifying war in the light of the current conflicts? If newsreaders have to wear poppies on air then why not AIDS or breast cancer ribbons? Where should it stop? I'll be asking my guests if they've been wearing a poppy.
We'll also be taking a look at the final downfall of Silvio Berlusconi - it wasn't the girls wot dunnit but the economy, stupid!
And we'll be assessing News International's James Murdoch's performance at the following the latest allegations of surveillance of royals, politicians, and lawyers.
This week's special guest is the recently appointed , Nosheena Mobarik. Nosheena is not only an accomplished, award winning business woman. She has many more strings to her bow. She tells me about her love of art and her charity work which led to a harrowing visit to Bosnia. You can hear a longer version of the interview here.
And remember, if there's anything you think we should be talking about on the show this Sunday, then let me know.
