NI lockdown changes – with 95% of us vulnerable to infection - are we reopening too much, too soon? Stephen spoke to Professor Ultan Power, Professor of Molecular Virology at Queen's University Belfast, and commentator Mick Fealty. Also on the podcast, several hundred people took to the city centre on Saturday as part of what was described as a "protect our statues" protest outside Belfast City Hall. The PSNI said there were several different protests across NI on Saturday and no arrests or fines were made. This was in contrast to the Black Live Matter demonstrations the previous week when 60 Community Resolution Notices (CRNS) and fines - for breaches of the Health Protection Regulations were handed out and a number of people - including the organisers - were referred to the PPS for prosecution. Stephen spoke to Lillian Seenoi-Barr, director of programmes at the North West Migrant Forum organised the BKLM Derry protest, Alliance Party MLA and member of the policing board John Blair and commentator Frank Shivers.
