The Scottish and UK Governments went head to head in the Court of Session this week over Alister Jack's decision to use a Section 35 order to block Holyrood's gender reforms becoming law. Joining political reporter Abbi Garton-Crosbie to discuss the ins and outs of the judicial review hearing is Nick McKerrell, senior lecturer in law at Glasgow Caledonian University. Elsewhere, Steph Brawn peaks to Laura Mahon from Alcohol Focus Scotland on issues around alcohol advertising and Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP). And, our reporters discuss Shona Robison's first FMQs standing in for Humza Yousaf, who is in New York for Climate Week, and a key amendment to the First Minister's motion on independence strategy put forward by one SNP MP.
