The New Orleans Attack


Listen Later

Today, we look at the latest developments in the New Orleans attack that killed at least 14 people and wounded dozens more on New Year's Day.

The FBI says 42-year-old army veteran, Shamsu-Din Jabbar, posted videos online proclaiming allegiance to the Islamic State group.

Adam speaks to Justin Webb, host of our sister podcast, Americast, and Marianna Spring, BBC’s social media investigations correspondent.

And Adam is joined by Alex, as 20 councillors in Nottinghamshire quit Labour, after criticism that the party “had abandoned its traditional values.”
