with Kaye Adams

Also in the show Strictly champion Hamza Yassin, plus what's the future for Scotland's cinemas and the rising cost of olive oil.

State secondary schools in Scotland will be shut today as the latest teachers strike disrupts senior pupils education. Yesterday, primary schools were affected by ongoing industrial action. Some prelim exams have been rescheduled. Unions want a ten per cent rise, but councils and the Scottish Government have offered five, with slightly more for those on the lowest pay.

Some parents  have described school closures as a "cruel blow" for pupils. It comes on the back of more than two years of disruption to education because of covid – with lockdowns and home schooling. If you’re a parent how are the strikes affecting you and your children?

Kaye asks – how concerned are you about the impact of the strikes on our young people?
