Fifteen year-old Khayri Mclean was stabbed to death walking home from school in Huddersfield. His mother Charlie pleaded for an end to knife crime, as his teenage murderers were sentenced to life.

The case of Wayne Couzens, the police officer who murdered Sarah Everard, has persuaded the College of Policing - which sets standards for forces in England and Wales - to re-examine the evidence.

He pleaded guilty to three cases of indecent exposure before Sarah's murder.

In December, Today’s Mishal Husain spoke to Frank Cottrell-Boyce, author of children’s books including ‘Millions’ and ‘The Forgotten Coat’. After hearing the interview, Nadia Shireen, children’s author and illustrator, reached out to Frank with the idea of starting a podcast discussing children’s literature.

Now, five months later, Today’s Justin Webb heard about their new podcast, ‘Island of Brilliant’, where Frank and Nadia imagine themselves marooned on an island with nothing but children’s books to keep them company.

Aimed at adults, it’s both funny and imaginative: as Frank says, “boredom is the compost of imagination”.
