Manchester Synagogue Attack: Police Gunfire Hit Victims


Listen Later

Today, we discuss the aftermath of the Manchester synagogue attack as Greater Manchester Police say that one of the victims killed in yesterday's attack was hit by police gunfire as they shot the attacker. It’s not yet clear whether this was the cause of death.

Two Jewish men were killed when a man, who police believe to be Jihad Al-Shamie, drove a car at members of the public before stabbing people.

Three people remain in hospital, with one also being treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, police say. Adam speaks to Danny Savage who has been reporting from the scene.

And, Adam, Chris, Faisal and Director of Nuffield Politics Research Centre Jane Green look back on the political week. Did Keir Starmer make a success of Labour conference? Is the two child benefit cap about to change? And why is Kemi Badenoch pledging to scrap landmark climate legislation?
