Head of CCEA announces he is reopening the appeal process to regrade GCSE and AS English Lit results

Breaking news and hard-hitting talk as Stephen Nolan gets you talking about the big stories of the day.

Yesterday's Nolan Show was taken over by one story after caller Joanne told us about her daughter's GCSE English Literature exam being remarked and jumping from a D to an A. That opened the floodgates with more listeners ringing in to tell similar stories of jumps between grades after remarking in both GCSE and AS level exams. CCEA Chief Executive Justin Edwards spoke to Stephen this morning, and we got reaction from SDLP MLA Sinead Bradley, UUP MLA Rosemary Barton and Children's Commissioner Koulla Yiasouma.

Also on the programme, the Republic of Ireland will be in the play-off draw along with Northern Ireland after last night's one-nil win over Wales. Both Irish sides are now just two games away from qualifying for the World Cup in Russia next summer. But does it matter who you support and is it okay to swing both ways? Stephen got the views of sports journalist Steven Beacom and we took you calls.

And residents in Belfast's Holyland area are angry after no fines were handed out to students over Fresher's Week anti-social behaviour.
