Stephen Lawrence: Has Britain Changed? (STV, 8pm)
On April 22, 1993, black British teenager Stephen Lawrence was murdered in a racially motivated attack. The aftermath hit the headlines and sparked discussions on institutional racism. Now, after the death of George Floyd and the global protests that followed it, Lawrence is, understandably, back in our minds. As a result, Rageh Omaar and Anushka Asthana are hosting a live debate in an effort to discover if, 27 years on, his tragic death has had a lasting impact on racial equality in the UK.

The Supervet: Noel Fitzpatrick (C4, 8pm)
There are those who think that it would be kinder to put to sleep some of the most severely injured, ill or deformed creatures featured during the past six years of this series, but seeing them gamboling around happily – as well as the joy on the faces of their owners – in this catch-up show should convince them otherwise. This week we revisit three animals we first met in 2015. First up is Darcy, a chihuahua who needed emergency surgery after having her pelvis crushed in a road accident.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
