Newscast - Sarah Everard: The Inquiry

Police face a moment of reckoning...

The government has announced an inquiry into the "systematic failures" that led to the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving officer. Zoe Billingham, who was recently commissioned by the Home Secretary to write a report on violence against women and girls, talks us through it all.

And, after Facebook, WhatsApp and Insta were hit by the blackout on Monday, Victoria Baines (who's a cyber expert) explains why the internet is not quite as robust as we all thought it was!

Today’s Newscast was made by Ben Cooper and Georgia Coan. The studio director was Emma Crowe. The assistant editors were Sam Bonham and Alison Gee.
