The Grooming Gangs Report


Listen Later

Today, a report into sexual abuse carried out by grooming gangs says there was a “collective failure to address questions about the ethnicity of grooming gangs”.

The audit, led by Baroness Louise Casey, said the ethnicity of grooming gangs is shied away from and is still not recorded for two-thirds of perpetrators. Adam is joined by Alison Holt, social affairs editor and Judith Moritz, special correspondent.

Plus, Iran and Israel continue to exchange missile strikes as world leaders gather for the G7 in Canada. Adam and Chris discuss if a meeting of President Trump, Prime Minister Starmer, President Macron and others will make any difference to the tensions.
