Patrons scream as rat scurries around Portrush restaurant and is then killed in front of diners.

Diners at a popular north coast restaurant were left screaming after a rat scurried around their tables on Tuesday evening. A video that's being shared on social media shows the rodent running amongst tables in the Ramore restaurant, Portrush. At one point it can even be seen scuttling up someone's leg! In the video, the rat is then crushed to death in the restaurant. Vinny spoke to Daniel Barclay from Northern Ireland Says No to Animal Cruelty and commentator Heidi McAlpin.

Also on the programme, footage of people making extreme anti-Semitic comments has sparked a debate about whether racism is a bigger problem in Northern Ireland than we want to acknowledge. The author, theatre writer and journalist Tuvia Tenenbom spoke to people in a bar in Derry, and the footage has gone viral. He says he has never seen so much anti-Semitism as he did during his visit to Northern Ireland. Vinny spoke to Tuvia and the Derry-based commentator Eamonn McCann.

And, an age-check scheme designed to stop under-18s viewing pornographic websites will come into force on the 15th of July. From that date, affected sites will have to verify the age of UK visitors. If they fail to comply they will face being blocked by internet service providers. Vinny got the views of commentator Emma Woolf and Jim Killock from the Open Rights Group.

All that and more on the biggest show in the country.
