Morning Extra - Human rights & mobility scooters

Logo for Morning Extra - Human rights & mobility scooters

Should we be more vocal about human rights? A Scottish man is thought to be among four people who've been arrested in Beijing this morning after a pro-Tibetan protest. Do our politicians and athletes need to be more vocal about human rights? Or should we just celebrate the progress China's made in recent times? Plus: Should mobility scooters be licensed? You don't need a license to use a mobility scooter, yet there have been cases where drunk, disabled people have caused accidents while riding them. Without a licensing scheme people can't be banned from using them. BBC Scotland reporter Ian Hamilton joins us to tell us more about the story. Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
