Are we taking sexual harassment of men seriously enough? Name the Place and Val McDermid

Kaye Adams gets to the heart of the news and offers the listeners the opportunity to have their say. Is the sexual harassment of men taken seriously enough?

A fan has been accused of groping One Direction star Harry Styles during a charity performance in the US.
Harry appeared to move the person's hand away from his crotch area before continuing his set. The incident comes at a time when the topic of inappropriate touching and harassment is in the news almost every week. And according to one report, over 30 per cent of the people who tweeted about the #MeToo campaign were men.
Are we taking sexual harassment of men seriously enough?

The best-selling Scottish crime writer says that men and women write about violence differently because girls are brought up as "potential victims."

A breastfeeding emoji has been shortlisted for release this year after being proposed by a nurse at University College London Hospital. She thinks the emoji will 'normalise' breastfeeding. Can the emoji be more powerful than words?

Can You Name the Place?
CLUE 1: Place-names often describe landscape features as body parts or people. The paps of Jura are rounded hills named from Scots pap 'breast'; the cobbler is one of Scotland's most famous mountains. Today's place-name refers to a facial feature.
CLUE 2: the name of a nearby hill refers to a musical instrument.
CLUE 3: It is associated with clan Darroch.
CLUE 4: It was the setting for the TV series shadow of the stone.
CLUE 5: The yachtsman Charlie Barr was born here, the writer Iain Banks moved here, and Granny Kempock has always been here.
