Stephen Nolan with the day's main news stories, topical debate and interviews. Is sexual harassment a real problem in the UK's towns and cities on a night out?

Is sexual harassment a real issue in the UK's towns and cities on a night out? The Labour MP, Jess Phillips, said the problem for women on Birmingham's Broad Street is as bad as Cologne, where hundreds of women were sexually assaulted on New Years Eve. We hear your stories of what it's like in nightclubs and bars, and discuss what we can do to combat unwanted and unpleasant sexual advances.

We speak to a heterosexual couple who want the right to have a civil partnership, rather than a marriage. And hear about new research that says proton beam therapy, a highly targeted form of cancer treatment, could be as successful as radiotherapy. But this treatment has fewer side effects.

And we try to wrap our heads around the news that Earth is actually made up of two planets. Scientists in California have confirmed that 4.5 billion years ago, the early planet Earth collided with a baby planet called Theia. Stephen speaks to the man behind the discovery.
