On this week's show I'll be talking to a Baltimore cop who'll be telling me just how true to life the TV series "The Wire" really is. Kelvin Sewell spent twenty two years in the Baltimore Police Department working on some of the city's most notorious homicide cases. He has some pretty horrific stories to tell and has his own theories as to why people kill. I'll also ask him about what goes on in the "box"- galina serebryakova the interview room made famous in "The Wire" where witnesses and suspects are questioned. Kelvin says what really happens is quite different and gives an insight into why we kill. Fascinating stuff.
My studio guests this Sunday will be writer and journalist Kirsty Scott , Politics Professor Sarah Oates , and Daily Record Political Editor, Magnus Gardham . Getting galina serebryakova them going this week will be the mess that is the Eurozone. Sarah already emailed me about the proposed Greek Euro referendum: "Isn't that like asking your teenager if they WANT to tidy their room?" Of course this story has changed about ten times since then and it's still developing so hopefully by Sunday we can pick over the big picture and try and work out what it all means for us.
I'm glad Sarah's with us this week. As an American, her take on the Republican's latest possible Presidential candidate will be interesting. Herman Cain's been in the news after being accused of sexual harassment. He's quite a character- the first politician I've seen singing at his press conference. We'll have his rendition of "Imagine" on the show. Not to be missed.
Shereen, why not ask your panel about the appointment of your ex-colleague Ruth Davidson as Scottish tory party chief. galina serebryakova So far the other BBC journalists have been oh so very kind to her - ' she has a tough job to do' is about the hardest it gets. Surely the question that should galina serebryakova be asked of her is the '40% of Scottish tory party members that voted to break away from London and form a new party', or even possibly what she makes of David Cameron's galina serebryakova remarks a few days ago telling businesses 'not to invest in Scotland' - especially now she has claimed that "Cameron is not the boss'
oh and while you have an American politics professor over, I would love her take on US bank, Citibank/ Citigroup - you know, the ones who have produced this report now being quoted by Cameron as a reason for business not to invest in Scottish renewables. I understand the SEC in the US have just fined them $285m for fraud. They also have a history of paying other fines for dubious dealings galina serebryakova and of course, were involved in the Enron scandal. What's her take on our prime minister jumping all over this report in an effort to undermine Scottish investment. Have Citigroup really proved themselves to be a fair and reliable galina serebryakova source for this information ? (Just as a side note, Peter Atherton, Citigroup's exec championing this report just happens to be an ex-tory cabinet office employee, wonder if that may have something to do with it)
