Pressure mounts on Secretary of State Karen Bradley over the compensation delay for victims of institutional abuse - with victims calling on her to resign.

Pressure is mounting on the Secretary of State Karen Bradley as she faces an onslaught of anger at her decision to add the 'stalled compensation scheme' for abuse survivors - to the agenda for the latest talks process at Stormont. Some have called for her to resign. Victims allege they are being used as a political football. Some of those victims joined us in the Nolan Live studio last night. Stephen spoke to News Letter political editor Sam McBride, Mick Fealty editor of website Slugger O'Toole and we took your calls.

Also on the programme, hospitals here have been criticised for cashing in on unhealthy snacks. The Belfast Telegraph is reporting that over the last 5 years more than 300 vending machines stocked with sugary drinks, chocolate and crisps have earned the trust 拢2.6 million. It comes at a time when the health service is facing an obesity crisis. We heard from GP George O'Neill and commentator and businessman Frank Shivers.

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