Reaction to Brianna Ghey’s Mum’s interview


Listen Later

Today, we look at a campaign from the mother of murdered teenage Brianna Ghey to stop children having access to social media apps on smartphones.

Speaking for the first time since the killers’ sentencing Ms Ghey called for the government to stop children having access to social media apps on smartphones, calling the internet the "Wild West". Esther Ghey also told Laura Kuenssberg she wanted the mother of Scarlett Jenkinson, one of Brianna’s murderers, to know she did not blame her for what happened.

Also, Chris is in Belfast as power sharing has been restored at Stormont. He’s been speaking to Northern Ireland’s first nationalist First Minister, Michelle O’Neill.
