This week at Stormont saw a tale of two ministers under pressure, but for very different reasons.

First up, Finance Minister John O'Dowd halted a proposed revaluation of business rates in Northern Ireland.

Meanwhile, the Communities Minister Gordon Lyons has faced an urgent question in the Assembly chamber, and a prickly meeting of his department's scrutiny committee.

The UUP leadership process reaches its climax this weekend, when Jon Burrows, a former senior PSNI officer, will be ratified as leader following a party meeting on Saturday.

In this episode, UTV Political Editor Tracey Magee, Political Correspondent Vicki Hawthorne, and Economics Correspondent Jordan Moates discuss.
