Listen "Manchester police name synagogue attacker as two confirmed dead"
Episode Synopsis
Manchester police have named the man they say attacked a synagogue in the city as 35-year-old Jihad Al-Shamie, a British citizen of Syrian descent. The car ramming and stabbing attack left two Jewish men dead. We hear some of the shock and fear in Europe's biggest Jewish neighbourhood and ask if counter-terrorism legislation is up to date.
Also on the programme:
A former chief of staff for Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May says the pledge by new leader Kemi Badenoch to scrap the 2008 Climate Change Act if she gets into office is "bad policy and bad politics".
And 75 years since the first edition of Peanuts, with its lovable main character Charlie Brown, we speak to artist and fan Andy Holden.
