Axel Rudakubana has pleaded guilty to the murder of three young girls in a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport.

Kamal and Camilla reflect on the horrific events of July last year and ask what the subsequent unrest tells us about our society. They also speak to our Crime Editor Martin Evans who is now able to report more details about Rudakubana’s extremely troubled past, and get his reaction to Nigel Farage's claim that the riots were caused by "withholding of information".

Plus, it’s inauguration day in Washington DC as Donald Trump gets set to become the president of the United States for the second time. Kamal and Camilla pour over his rally speech from inauguration eve and attempt to work out what a second MAGA agenda is going to look like.
