We speak to the Leader of Edinburgh Council about what a tourist tax has done for her city, as English mayors are set to gain new powers to charge fees for overnight stays. We hear from David Vigneault, the former head of Canada’s intelligence service, about the dangers facing the modern world, and we hear from listeners about the most common messages young university students send to their parents.
