Protestors hit the streets here yesterday over a benefit change that's been called the rape clause. The rape clause is the name critics have given to the Conservative government's plans to restrict child tax credits and Universal Credit to a parent's first two children. Benefits for any subsequent children can be paid if their mothers declare they were conceived by rape. Yesterday's protests were held in Belfast and Londonderry. Stephen got the views of former Conservative MP Edwina Currie, and Allison Morris from the Irish News.
